Chapter 1002: I Can No Longer Turn Back

"Fine, just you wait." Gao Zhen was furious; he felt he had been looked down upon. He formed a Dao Seal with both hands, then began chanting, followed by a sudden roar: "Divine General, obey my command!"

With a boom, a flash of golden light streaked by, and there stood a figure holding a guandao, clad from head to toe in shimmering golden armor. This guy had actually summoned a Divine General directly.

This was a type of Dao Technique. Those with profound Dao Technique could summon the Six Ding Divine Servants for their own use, but this required a certain level of Mind Power and cultivation realm. For this guy to be so young and yet able to summon a Divine General directly, he really did have some tricks up his sleeve.

"Chen Yu, let's see how much longer you can be smug." Gao Zhen sneered.

"It's just a spar, is this necessary?" Chen Yu looked at the Divine General before him, feeling somewhat annoyed. He was only trying to spar with this guy, but this guy was playing for real.

"Enough talk. Divine General, obey my command, kill him." Gao Zhen threw down a Talisman, actually going for the kill.

Just at this moment, the room shook, and at the same time, a wave of yin energy arrived. It was clear that Yu Sichen had already confronted Lao Gui inside.

Chen Yu did not want to drag this out with this guy either. He grabbed with his right hand, drawing Lichen, and then with a deep shout, he slashed at the Divine General with his sword.

With a boom, the once majestic Divine General's body stiffened, instantly shrinking to the size of a normal person. Moreover, the divine armor on his body shattered, and without even a groan, he simply vanished.

In truth, the so-called Divine General was not a real heavenly soldier or general, but one that had grown from a ghost messenger in the Underworld. Its strength was a bit higher, but it was still a Spirit Body after all. Chen Yu, in his anger, struck with a sword that directly knocked the guy's rank down.

A series of aggrieved whimpers passed by, and the Divine General vanished without a trace, while Gao Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back seven or eight steps, and sat down on the ground with a thud.

Gao Zhen looked at Chen Yu in horror. Only after this exchange did he realize just how vast the gap between him and Chen Yu was; it was truly like the difference between heaven and earth.

Before he could say anything, Chen Yu quickly ducked into the bar, leaving this guy in the wind, disheveled and confused.

The atmosphere in the bar was chaotic. The Domain that Lao Gui had formed had already become a world unto itself. Now, countless men and women were huddled together inside the bar, looking in terror at the strange man in the center of the dance floor.

This man was in a crisp suit and looked courteous. A piano was placed before him, and he moved his hands in the air, while the piano emitted a melodious tune.

This piece was the famous 'Moonlight'. Lao Gui played the music, looking completely intoxicated.

As the piece ended, Lao Gui pressed down on the piano, and the echoes lingered for a long time.

"Where is the applause? Did I not play well?" Lao Gui turned his head and gave a sinister smile, revealing white, ghastly teeth.

Everyone was trembling with fear; no one dared to respond.

"I said, where is the applause?" Lao Gui stood up abruptly, his figure growing taller, a massive head floating in mid-air, sharp fangs protruding from it.

Screams erupted at the scene, and finally, scattered applause rang out in the room.

"That's more like it." Lao Gui returned to his human form and chuckled, "This world should be like this, shouldn't it? Why force yourself to do things you don't like?"

"Lao Gui." Just then, Yu Sichen rushed into the venue. Seeing Lao Gui's current state, she remained silent for a long time.

That was right; he had completely lost his mind. He had become a Demon.

"Miss Yu, you've come." Lao Gui grinned, "I was actually going to look for you too. Thank you for all the help you've given me these days, but unfortunately, I had a realization at the very last moment."

"Miss Zuer was right; I had actually been labeled long ago. Even if I did countless good deeds, I would never be forgiven. Since that's the case, why should I suffer the agony of Reincarnation?"

"Did Zuer say something to you?" Yu Sichen understood in an instant. The reason Lao Gui had become like this was related to Zuer.

"Yes, thank her for waking me up at the last moment," Lao Gui laughed, "Heaven and Earth are heartless, so why should I be obsessed with Reincarnation?"

"If you come back now, it's not too late," Yu Sichen said in a deep voice, "Don't listen to her incitement. She came from the Dark World and hasn't been fully tamed yet. She is misleading you."

"No, that's not it." Lao Gui shook his head and said earnestly, "Actually, I think Miss Zuer's words make a lot of sense, and this world isn't worth my repentance."

"So what do you want to do?" A figure flashed, and Chen Yu also walked in.

"Heh, what do I want to do?" Lao Gui stared at Chen Yu with a strange look. He sneered and said, "I want to stand in this world and do whatever I want, to do what I desire without any constraints."

"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to do that. Everyone born into this world is subject to constraints, and you are no exception," Chen Yu shouted, "Turn back now, it's not too late."

"It's too late, and I don't want to turn back. I'm tired," Lao Gui said with a chuckle, "The old me was really narrow-minded. Why would I want to suffer the pain of Reincarnation? Wasn't the suffering I endured in my previous life enough?"

"Look, I'm doing so well now. As long as I get angry, these people will tremble in fear. I only now understand that power is the thing that should be pursued most in this world." As Lao Gui spoke, he pointed his right hand, and a ball of Underworld Fire ignited.

This ball of Underworld Fire attacked a couple. The couple was engulfed in eerie-colored flames from head to toe, screaming and rolling on the ground...

Chen Yu stepped forward and pointed with his right hand, extinguishing the Underworld Fire. He said coldly, "Do not remain obsessed and deluded. Miss Yu has already fallen out with the people of the Five Elements Pavilion for your sake."

"I am obsessed and deluded?" Lao Gui seemed to strongly disagree with Chen Yu's words. He laughed and said, "Those who are obsessed and deluded are never wrong; what is wrong is the human heart."

"Miss Yu, thank you for doing so much for me, but unfortunately, I can no longer turn back." Lao Gui took a step forward, his figure slowly growing taller and larger.

He flicked his right hand, and several faces appeared in the air. These four faces were twisted in pain, yet ferocious; they were the three men and one woman who had played the honey trap.

Chen Yu stepped forward, intending to deal with him, but was stopped by Yu Sichen.

"It was I who failed to ferry him, so it should be up to me to finish him." Yu Sichen's voice was low. With a complex expression, she looked at the four faces in mid-air and slowly walked forward.

"Miss Yu, move aside. I don't want to hurt you," Lao Gui said.

"You were ferried by me, so it should be me who ends you," Yu Sichen said calmly, "Lao Gui, have you forgotten all the Buddhist scriptures you recited? Have you forgotten the suffering you endured and the vows you made at the Samsara Dharma Assembly?"

"I remember," Lao Gui laughed, "But I also remember that being born as a ghost, one should not revere Heaven and Earth."

"Then I can only destroy you with my own hands to uphold the Heavenly Dao," Yu Sichen said calmly.
