161: Chapter 161 Yang De, what a good name! Uncle Gou: How about you hear my last name?

"Li Zhengyang!"

Uncle Gou said crossly, "Stop calling me by my name!"

The old man in front of him was none other than the current top leader of the military!

Chief Li Zhengyang.

"Virtue is such a good name!"

Li Zhengyang laughed, "Upright, noble, and full of vitality..."

"None of that has anything to do with me!" Uncle Gou rolled his eyes.

Li Zhengyang smiled, "Though Yang Virtue is universal, it is not complete without Yin."

"Great is the abundance of Yang Virtue; its flourishing beauty keeps spring forever."

"The way of the gentleman grows; Yang Virtue is bright and prosperous."

"Yang Virtue shines and melts, restraining the host of Yin."

Li Zhengyang spoke gently, "How many ancient poems have praised this word!"

Uncle Gou's face darkened, "You damn well better add my surname and see how it sounds!"

"Gou Yangde!"

"Son of a bitch!"

Uncle Gou gritted his teeth, "I said, no one is allowed to call me by my name again in this lifetime!"

"Gou... Virtue."

Li Zhengyang laughed, "Alright, let's get down to business!"

Seeing that Uncle Gou was about to lose it, Li Zhengyang quickly changed the subject.

Uncle Gou rolled his eyes, "Speak then, why did you call me here?"

"Many from Little Japanese who died in our Xia Nation... they all wanted to be raised to become Ghost Kings!"

Li Zhengyang's gaze was icy.

Uncle Gou nodded slightly, "Yes... that time in Jinling was the most dangerous one!"

"Here... there is also a Ghost King about to awaken!" Li Zhengyang said, "So, I had no choice but to call you!"

Uncle Gou's expression was indifferent, "That's it?!"

"It's a Ghost King!"

Li Zhengyang was dumbfounded, "That's equivalent to a human at the Foundation Establishment Peak!"

"How many Foundation Establishment cultivators do we even have in the Xia Nation?!"

"Over the years, how much have we sacrificed to clear the weirdness left by Little Japanese in our Xia Nation?"

"Longhu Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Mount Jiuhua, Yandang Mountain, Mao Mountain, Wudang Mountain..."

"That battle back then..."

"Even you almost died at the hands of that Ghost King in Jinling!"

"And now, you actually don't take a Ghost King seriously?"

Li Zhengyang said speechlessly.

Uncle Gou sighed, "Li Zhengyang, look at me. I'm just a fucking ordinary person now!"

Li Zhengyang squinted, "You think I'll believe that?"

Uncle Gou: "..."

"Seriously!"

Uncle Gou shook his head, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"

"Those two old geezers from Longhu Mountain and Mao Mountain are also on their way."

Li Zhengyang's face was calm, "If the Ghost King is born, I'm afraid the entire Magic Capital will be turned into a Ghost Domain!"

"Wait for me!"

Uncle Gou looked ahead and strolled inside, "I'll go in and take a look, we'll talk later!"

"Alright!"

Li Zhengyang nodded and called someone over to lead Uncle Gou inside.

After a while...

"Roar!"

"Baka!"

A terrifying aura emanated from the depths of She Mountain.

Li Zhengyang was startled and suddenly stood up straight.

Oh no!

Has the Ghost King revived?

But in the blink of an eye, that terrifying aura dissipated.

Li Zhengyang: "?????"

Uncle Gou strolled out from the depths of She Mountain, while the two soldiers beside him looked like they had lost their souls.

He held a black ball in his hand, tossing it up and down repeatedly.

"Alright, it's settled!"

"Going home to sleep!"

"Old people sleep lightly, I need to go back and catch up on some rest!"

"Don't call me for these things in the future!"

Uncle Gou was incredibly suave as he brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes.

Li Zhengyang: "?????"

"This is the Ghost King!"

Uncle Gou showed the black ball to Li Zhengyang, then turned to leave while holding it, "If anything happens, contact my young master through Bureau 789!"

"That brat doesn't do anything unless there's something in it for him..."

"But the brothers around him are all quite capable!"

"Dealing with this Ghost King won't be much of a problem!"

Uncle Gou smiled slightly.

Li Zhengyang was slack-jawed.

"Gou Yangde!"

Li Zhengyang cried out in shock, "What realm are you actually in now?"

"You fucking called me by my name again!"

Uncle Gou cursed.

Li Zhengyang: "Now is not the time to focus on your name!"

Uncle Gou roared, "Bullshit, my name is what needs the most focus!"

Li Zhengyang: "..."

"Fine, my cultivation isn't high!"

Uncle Gou sighed, "In that battle in Jinling, I was already crippled by that Ghost King!"

"I'm just an ordinary person now!"

Uncle Gou shook his head.

Li Zhengyang's eyes were filled with an expression that asked, 'Do you take me for a fool?'

Uncle Gou: "..."

"I don't have any cultivation right now!"

Uncle Gou spread his hands, "But, I took an unusual path!"

"What path?" Li Zhengyang asked.

"I refined myself into a puppet!"

Uncle Gou shrugged.

Li Zhengyang: "????"

"Now, my physical body and soul are fused into one... I have no cultivation, yet I can touch any spiritual entity!"

"The body and soul are one; once the body dies, the soul will be completely dissipated!"

Uncle Gou pointed to himself, "Back then my cultivation was destroyed and my life was near its end, but I wasn't willing to give up!"

"So I refined myself!"

"And I almost died!"

"I was picked up by the Old Master."

Uncle Gou smiled brightly, "Then, I succeeded... I became my own puppet!"

"On my body..."

Uncle Gou lifted his clothes, revealing dense runes carved upon him.

"Over the years, I've been frantically devouring spiritual energy, and I don't even know what I am anymore!"

"A dead person? But I can clearly still speak and move!"

"A living person? But I have no breath, no heartbeat!"

"A zombie?! But zombies have no souls!"

"I am just a puppet!"

Uncle Gou shrugged, "Oh, right..."

"My young master caught quite a few ninjas from Little Japanese; I originally intended to leave this Ghost King for them to deal with!"

Uncle Gou smiled and looked into the distance.

Li Zhengyang looked dazed, "You... you're as ruthless to yourself as ever!"

"You truly are a cultivation genius rarely seen in a thousand years."

Li Zhengyang lamented.

Who among normal people would think of refining themselves into a puppet?

Refining oneself into a zombie is usually the limit of an average person's imagination.

But you refined yourself into a puppet?

Your young master...

Shen Yuan, right?

He's cooperating with Bureau 789!

He even has a Bureau 789 ID and is hanging around with War God Xiao Ce.

Are they really that strong?

"When do you all plan to go public?"

Uncle Gou snapped back to reality and asked, "Spiritual energy is about to recover!"

"Soon!"

Li Zhengyang smiled slightly, "Haven't we been gathering Taoist disciples everywhere these years? Even a Taoist University has opened!"

"Moreover, hasn't the country been helping to promote the recruitment of disciples for Longhu Mountain, Mao Mountain, Wudang Mountain, and the like lately?"

"Spiritual energy is starting to increase!"

Li Zhengyang smiled.

Uncle Gou nodded, "I'm leaving!"

"Virtue..." Li Zhengyang said.

"Fuck, shut up!" Uncle Gou snapped.

"Alright, Gou Yangde!" Li Zhengyang replied.

Uncle Gou was enraged; he howled and charged forward.

"I'll fucking kill you! At most, I'll just be executed!"

"I fucking..."

"If I weren't afraid of killing you with one punch, you old geezer, I'd really give you one!"

Uncle Gou said helplessly.

"Director Gou!"

Li Zhengyang smiled brightly, "Is it okay to call you that?"

"I haven't been a director for many years!"

Uncle Gou shook his head.

"But even though you left, your position has always been reserved!" Li Zhengyang shouted.

Uncle Gou: "..."

"Fuck, did I break the law?"
