Chapter 147 - 147 The Mad Daoist's Plan!

147 The Mad Daoist’s Plan!

Myth Inn, Qingshan Courtyard.

Not long after Lin Wudao sat down and was about to focus on cultivation, he saw Yin Siming rush to him.

...

“City Lord, Li Xuandao is dead.”

What was that? Li Xuandao was dead?

Lin Wudao was shocked when he heard the sudden news.

“When did this happen?”

“Just now! Not long after we left, the Li family spread the news of Li Xuandao’s death. They’ve already sent people to invite the Netherworld Coffin Shop to hold the funeral,” Yin Siming bowed and replied.

“How did he die?”

“This… It is unclear. According to the news from the Li family, Li Xuandao died of natural causes due to excessive grief. He did not suffer any pain during the entire process. He passed away very peacefully.”

Hmm? He died peacefully?

Hearing this, Lin Wudao’s expression became even stranger.

“Although Li Xuandao suffered a huge blow from the pain of losing his sons and his mind was heavily injured, it shouldn’t be to the extent of dying of mental exhaustion, right?”

“Yes, I think so too. City Lord, perhaps there is some mystery behind this that no one knows about,” Yin Siming said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.

“So be it. This is the Li family’s business. It has nothing to do with us. Just treat it as a show.”

“Yes.”

After saying that, Yin Siming bowed respectfully and left the Qingshan Courtyard.

Buzz!

After Yin Siming left, Lin Wudao suddenly felt a throbbing in the system space. With a thought, an invitation letter appeared in his hand.

Words began to appear on it.

[Brother Ren, I’ve already arrived at the Heishui Ancient City. I’m now at the Canghai Courtyard of the Myth Inn.]

The Mad Daoist?

Looking at the words on the invitation, Lin Wudao smiled.

“Finally.”

He immediately put on the Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of the Heavens, disguising himself as Ren Woxing. Then, he crushed an invisibility jade talisman and headed towards the Canghai Courtyard.

…

Canghai Courtyard wasn’t very far from the Qingshan Courtyard where Lin Wudao was.

Whoosh!

A few moments later, relying on the mysterious power of the invisibility jade talisman, Lin Wudao quietly appeared in the Canghai Courtyard.

He swept his gaze across.

As expected, he saw the figure of the Mad Daoist in the courtyard.

At this moment, he was leisurely sipping tea, and there was another teacup on the table in front of him. It was obviously prepared for Lin Wudao.

“Brother Ren, you’re here?”

Seeing Lin Wudao’s arrival, the Mad Daoist was very happy.

” Heh, you old thing, you didn’t get killed by the Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau? ”

“I was blessed with great fortune. Those grandsons of the Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau want to kill me? Dream on,” The Mad Daoist said disdainfully.

At the same time, there was also a hint of anger on his face.

It was apparent he was still holding a grudge against the Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau for trying to kill him previously.

After teasing him, Lin Wudao sat down.

“What was the big job you mentioned earlier?”

He took a sip of tea and asked bluntly.

Getting down to business, the Mad Daoist’s face also revealed a solemn expression.

“Brother Ren, have you heard of the Heishui Secret Realm?”

Heishui Secret Realm?

Lin Wudao frowned.

Then, he shook his head.

“What is the Heishui Secret Realm?”

“Oh, as far as I know, the Heishui Secret Realm was originally an ancient grotto-heaven. However, due to certain reasons, it collapsed and decayed. There’s no spiritual energy inside. It’s filled to the brim with decay and endless death energy. In addition, because the Heishui Secret Realm is located in the Heishui River, it has been eroded by the evil energy of the Heishui River for many years and has already evolved into a dangerous place. The Heishui Secret Realm can thus nourish evil and demons.”

The Mad Daoist explained.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao was surprised.

He did not expect that such a secret place was hidden in the Heishui River.

“Is the big job you’re talking about the evil and demons in the Heishui Secret Realm?”

“Yes, but not quite. Although the Heishui Secret Realm contains endless evil and terror due to the erosion of the Heishui River, the evils and demons in it are not the demons we know, because the demons in the Heishui Secret Realm are man-made.”

Man-made?

Lin Wudao was even more surprised.

“Brother Ren, you surely can’t have imagined that the Heishui Secret Realm has another identity.”

“Oh? What is it?”

“The ancestral land of the Li family in the Heishui Ancient City,” The Mad Daoist smiled and replied.

The Li family’s ancestral land?

This answer bewildered Lin Wudao.

“Ever since the Heishui Secret Realm was abandoned, it has become an ancestral land of the Li family. For thousands of years, the Li family buried the bodies of their old ancestors, patriarchs, and clan leaders in the Heishui Secret Realm. Then, the evil energy in the Heishui Secret Realm will nourish their bodies so that they won’t rot. At the same time, the Li family will use a secret technique to refine the corpses into powerful puppets. This is also a powerful trump card of the Li family. Those ancient corpses have been eroded by evil energy for thousands of years. I’m afraid that they have already broken the shackles of their lives and transformed into more powerful evils. We call them corpse demons!”

The Mad Daoist became increasingly excited as he spoke.

Similarly, Lin Wudao’s interest was piqued by his words.

“Brother Ren, think about it. The Li family has been around for more than 5,000 years. How many powerful ancestors have been buried in the Heishui Secret Realm? Even now, their corpses have not decayed. Brother Ren, don’t you like to collect other people’s old ancestors the most? Heishui Secret Realm is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must not miss it.”

The Mad Daoist added fuel to the fire and bewitched him.

“Are you saying that you want to dig the graves in the Li family’s ancestral land?”

“Yes, yes, that’s right.”

“But do you know the location of the Heishui Secret Realm? Do you know how to open it?”

“I don’t know.”

The Mad Daoist shook his head.

But then, he revealed a strange smile.

“Brother Ren, although I don’t know the location of the Heishui Secret Realm and the specific method to open it, the Li family does. As long as the Li family opens the Heishui Secret Realm themselves, won’t we be able to enter?”

The Li family opened it themselves? What the hell was this method?

Lin Wudao was surprised.

“You have a way?”

“Of course.”

The smile on the Mad Daoist’s face became increasingly creepy.

“Brother Ren, you must have heard about the death of the current clan leader of the Li family, Li Xuandao, right?”

“Uh, this… It can’t be you’re the one who did it, right?”

“Indeed! I used a kind of Resting Divine Curse on Li Xuandao. It can cause people to die a natural death silently with no human interference traces at all. The Li family has always had a tradition. As long as it’s an important figure in the family, such as the Heavenly Cycle realm patriarchs, the clan leader, or someone who has made great contributions to the Li family, they can be buried in the Heishui Secret Realm after their death. Now that Li Xuandao is dead, as the clan leader, he will certainly be buried in the Heishui Secret Realm. When they open the Heishui Secret Realm then, we will thus be able to enter.”

Huh… He really was a genius!

Lin Wudao couldn’t help but give a thumbs up when he heard the Mad Daoist’s plan and actions.

“The Li family has Heavenly Cycle realm powerhouses, and I heard that there’s more than one of them. Can we really pull it off with just the two of us?”

“Don’t worry about that. I have a plan. When the time comes, I will invite help…”

He had helpers?

Lin Wudao glanced at him but didn’t say anything.

“Brother Ren, if nothing goes wrong, Li Xuandao’s body will be buried in the Heishui Secret Realm tomorrow. I’ll inform you when the time comes. You just have to be prepared in advance.”

“Alright,” Lin Wudao nodded.

The two schemed for some time before he returned to the Green Mountain Courtyard.

…

Just like that, time passed unknowingly.

Soon, it was nighttime.

At this moment, a mourning hall had been set up in the Li family. In the huge Purple Cloud Hall, the young masters and clansmen of the Li family knelt devoutly to guard Li Xuandao’s spirit.

However, just then, something strange happened.
