The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 145

“Little Ah Li, you promised something in the past, and now the Grandmaster wants you to fulfill it.”

The Grandmaster remembered his plan, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he provocatively looked at Chu Ci.

He rubbed his waist and sighed, “I’m getting old, and my body is indeed different. Fortunately, I had the foresight to find myself a little disciple who knows how to give a good back massage when my body doesn’t feel well…”

After rambling on for a while, the Grandmaster sat back in his office chair with his legs crossed.

Chu Ci didn’t know about the agreement between him and Qing Li, and his brow furrowed slightly.

There was a lingering sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Qing Li’s eyes curved into small crescents as she rolled up the sleeves of her little cotton jacket and placed her hand on the Grandmaster’s shoulder.

“Dr. Chu, you can leave for now. I’ll attend to Grandmaster.”

Grandmaster lazily propped up his chin with his hand and teased, “Why don’t you leave already?”

Chu Ci ignored Grandmaster’s provocation, smiled at Qing Li, and said, “Alright, I’ll go back to the room to warm up the bedding, and I’ll wait for Ah Li to return.”

The last few words were heavily emphasized!

Grandmaster immediately started scolding, “You, this old man, are so old, yet you dare to have ulterior motives towards my disciple. Don’t you realize…”

The meeting room’s door closed, cutting off Grandmaster’s unfinished words.

“Grandmaster, stop scolding. If you anger Dr. Chu, you won’t be able to beat him, and he might break your old bones.”

Qing Li pinched Grandmaster’s shoulder with just the right amount of pressure.

“I can’t beat him, but I can still scold him, hmph!” Grandmaster huffed in an arrogant manner.

He was stubborn all over.

Qing Li continued to massage his shoulders and calmly said, “Master told me that Grandmaster once went missing for decades while pursuing the path to godhood in another world. Several senior elders from major sects went with him, but only Grandmaster returned, and the others all disappeared.”

“Those old fools were too weak on their own and wanted a piece of the pie. They deserved to die. But your Grandmaster is powerful, so coming back is my skill.”

Grandmaster’s lazy voice was mixed with disdain.

But a few years after Grandmaster returned, their little Taoist temple suddenly came under attack by major sects. In his dying moments, he used his life as a sacrifice to almost exterminate the entire sect, leaving behind a mysterious and sinister red umbrella.

“Grandmaster went to this world back then, right?” Qing Li’s tone was certain, and the pressure of her shoulder massage lightened.

From the reactions of Grandmaster and Dr. Chu when they first met, Qing Li had already guessed something.

Grandmaster squinted his eyes and praised, “Little Ah Li is indeed smart.”

Qing Li continued, “The master of the second Forbidden Land, the leader of the Ten Forbidden Lands, was rumored to have disappeared for a long time. It seems to be Grandmaster.”

And this time, Grandmaster had changed his clothes and appearance, likely because he had returned to the Forbidden Land.

Without waiting for Grandmaster’s response, Qing Li asked, “Ah Li coming here was also arranged by Grandmaster, right?”

For Grandmaster, with his profound and mysterious magical powers, setting up a small scheme that spanned over a decade was not difficult.

“Does Ah Li want to go to the Forbidden Land with Grandmaster? You know that Grandmaster loves you the most and is most reluctant to be separated from you.”

He came back to take Qing Li with him.

Qing Li shook her head, and as she used to in her childhood, she massaged Grandmaster’s back. The tall figure she used to look up to seemed a bit narrower now.

“Ah Li has important things to do right now.”

She didn’t know what had happened in this world initially. She didn’t know what Grandmaster had encountered here.

But she knew…

What she had to do!

Seeing Qing Li reject him, a hint of lingering resentment gathered between Grandmaster’s brows. For the first time, he spoke to Qing Li with an indignant tone, “Are those humans in this world so important? You think ghosts are cruel, but you haven’t seen how much crueler human hearts can be. Even if you save them now, what’s the use? They’ll only be grateful to you temporarily, but when you can’t bring them greater benefits, they’ll stab you with a knife in the back more ruthlessly than anyone else.”

“Alu, the humans in this world are beyond salvation. If you want to change this world, it would be easier to just kill all the humans. That way, you’ll create a world where no humans suffer from cruelty, abuse, or murder.”

Qing Li grinned and said, “Grandmaster, you’ve described Ah Li’s understanding of human nature perfectly. Human nature is complex, with greed, cunning, ruthlessness, cowardice, and hypocrisy…”

During the time she was on the streets, she had naturally witnessed the many facets of human nature.

Good and evil.

“But human nature can also be kind, honest, humble, and selfless…”

Perhaps there are more bad people than good people, or maybe there are more good people than bad people.

But she knew she couldn’t judge all humans based on her own perception.

She practiced her path as she pleased, with a clear conscience.

Since she had decided to do something, why care about its success or failure?

The most important thing was that she had taken action!

Grandmaster knew Qing Li’s stubbornness, so he didn’t say much. He just snorted and said, “You’ll come crying to me sooner or later.”

He didn’t mention…

That he had done the same thing…

But in the end, he, battered and bruised, had chosen to become the master of the second Forbidden Land after complete disappointment.

“Grandmaster, you should go back soon. The second Forbidden Land is your legacy, and you’ve been gone for so long that it’s probably been nearly divided up. These are what Ah Li will inherit in the future, and we can’t let other people benefit from it.”

Qing Li began to urge Grandmaster to return quickly.

Perhaps delaying for a second would mean a few less shares of her inheritance.

Grandmaster glanced at her and said, “Look at your virtue. Anyone who dares to touch my things, I will naturally make them vomit it back tenfold or a hundredfold.”

He raised a casual smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

During his absence, those restless spirits had taken things that didn’t belong to them, and it was time for those things to be returned!

Qing Li took the red umbrella out of her space, tore off all the sealing talismans, and the originally blood-red umbrella, with its eerie transformation, turned black.

Grandmaster’s white long hair also turned jet black in an instant, and the vermilion mole on his forehead became even more striking, like a drop of fresh blood.

“Grandmaster, Ah Li will visit you in the second Forbidden Land.” Qing Li smiled.

Grandmaster took the black umbrella. This was his skin and his bone. After unsealing all the power, the powerful and terrifying black ghostly energy dyed the umbrella black.

Grandmaster softly said, “Actually, what I’d like to say to you more is that I hope you never have to come crying to me one day.”

His little Ah Li was so good, and if she was ever truly wronged, he would kill all the humans in the horror world to avenge her.
