The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Yin Emperor!

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong, accompanied by Xia Ying, quickly followed into the City God Temple.

After suffering the ravages of time and changes, this City God Temple had long fallen into a state of decay, presenting a feeling of dilapidation.

The front hall, the middle hall, the rear hall, the City God Great Hall…everywhere was desolate.

Spider webs were spread all over, and the dust was thick.

What Zhong Pengzhan said about the ancestrally inherited “Taoist temple” being very efficacious and bestowing blessings upon the descendants of the Zhong Family seemed like utter nonsense. Considering the conditions of this City God Temple, it was evident that nobody from the Zhong Family had tended to its maintenance for a long time. If they truly valued this place, based on the Zhong Family’s wealth, it would be a trivial matter to regularly hire people to maintain and repair it.

From this, it appeared that Zhong Pengzhan’s invitation to Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi today was insidious!

The so-called worshiping of the gods was all fake!

However, after Huang Xiaolong, who was the current Yin Emperor, entered, he felt exceptionally calm, peaceful, and comfortable. After all, this was his turf!

City God Great Hall!

The incense burner was full of dust.

The god statues worshipped in the hall however, had an aura of dignity and grandeur.

One could see the statue of a man, extremely hideously ugly, dressed in a large red official robe, with a leopard’s head and tiger’s eyebrows, ring eyes, and a steel face full of beards.

“Ah? This… Is this Zhong Kui?” Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang’s eyes widened.

“Yes!” Zhong Pengzhan puffed out his chest with pride. “Correct! This is our ancestor of the Zhong Family lineage, the ghost-catching Heavenly Master Zhong Kui! Erfang, Mimi, hurry up and pay your respects. As long as your hearts are sincere, your wishes would be granted.”

As he spoke, a trace of greedy, sinister color appeared in Zhong Pengzhan’s eyes.

Originally, he had deceived Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi today into coming to worship the gods, planning to find a way to take advantage of them. However, there was an unexpected development; Huang Xiaolong and another stunning beauty had followed as well.

Zhong Pengzhan was not afraid of Huang Xiaolong, as there was nothing particularly frightening about him. The key was Xia Ying. Although she was a woman, her aura was very strong, which put tremendous pressure on Zhong Pengzhan. Standing before Xia Ying, he even felt somewhat suffocated.

“Oh… It really is Zhong Kui. Erfang, let’s pay our respects.” Zhou Mi said to Miao Erfang.

Zhong Pengzhan signaled to his minions, and someone immediately presented a bunch of incense candles to Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi.

Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi each lit several sticks of incense, bowed to the statue of Zhong Kui, uttering prayers under their breath. Their rosy faces flushed even rosier, as if their hearts’ desires were for love.

They put the incense candles into the incense burner.

“Done!” Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang exchanged smiles.

“Xiaolong, there are no worshippers here. It is so run-down, I don’t believe there is any use in worshiping a statue of Zhong Kui.” Xia Ying whispered in Huang Xiaolong’s ear.

Huang Xiaolong giggled. “It’s useless. The divine aura of this statue is dead and silent, it possesses no divine power. It is as good as a pile of rubble.”

“Uh, you should worship it too,” Zhong Pengzhan glanced at Huang Xiaolong disdainfully.

“I don’t think I need to worship it,” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

Zhong Pengzhan’s face turned cold, and he sneered. “Oh, look at you acting so superior! Our ancestor Zhong Kui is a renowned Heavenly Master in history! Regardless of whether worshipping gods is effective or not, don’t you as a modern person have any reverence for ancient immortals? Don’t you have basic manners? Don’t you understand basic decency and integrity?”

Zhong Pengzhan seemed high and mighty as he reproached Huang Xiaolong.

“Haha~~~ Are you sure you want me to worship?” Huang Xiaolong teased. “I can worship this statue of Zhong Kui. However, if something happens, you can’t blame me.”

“Nonsense!” Zhong Pengzhan snarled. “Hurry up and kneel! What can possibly happen by simply honoring our ancestor? You’re just trying to scare us!”

“Heh~~~” Huang Xiaolong smirked, then, directly facing the statue of Zhong Kui, he made the gesture as if he was about to kneel.

Just at this moment! @@novelbin@@

Boom~~~~!!!!!!

The entire City God Temple inexplicably started shaking, and dust fell from the four walls!

The ground was waving like an abrupt earthquake!

“What? An earthquake? What’s going on?” Zhong Pengzhan cried out in terror.

At the same time—

Crack ~~ Crack ~~ Crack ~~~~

The chilling sound of a split echoed!

Boom bang bang!!!!!!

Eventually, the formidable and majestic statue of Zhong Kui crumbled directly into a heap of fragments, akin to debris!

It’s broken!

The statue shattered!

At that moment, the swaying City God Temple finally settled down.

Everyone stared dumbstruck at the pieces, their minds in a state of muddled chaos.

“You…you…what in heaven’s name did you do?” Zhong Pengzhan’s face turned pale, his voice distorted. “You destroyed my ancestor’s statue! You…you…you’ve got some nerve!”

“Hahahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong burst out in hearty laughter. “Absolutely ridiculous. I only wanted to pay my respects to the Zhong Kui statue, I didn’t do anything else. Are you suggesting that I’m the cause of this mischief? So many people witnessed this, I didn’t even do anything but you suspect me?”

Having been cornered by Huang Xiaolong, Zhong Pengzhan was speechless.

“Hahahaha~~~ Actually, my life’s destiny is so noble, the Zhong Kui statue simply didn’t dare to receive my reverence. Hahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong was laughing, but his tone was very serious.

He was not lying – he was, indeed, the Yin Emperor in this era. To him, this City God Temple was merely a local administrative department under his jurisdiction. Even if the City God – Zhong Kui – was there, he would be nothing more than a civil servant under Huang Xiaolong’s command.

How could Huang Xiaolong possibly bow before him?

“Ominous… ominous… it’s really ominous… this… I have to tell my brother about this~~~” Zhong Pengzhan’s words made no sense, and he shot Huang Xiaolong a very vengeful glare before grinding his teeth ominously. “Kid, you wait, my brother will come to settle the score with you!”

The present situation was indeed difficult for him to solve, and this made Zhong Pengzhan lose his mood for flirtation. Furthermore, the ancestral Zhong Kui statue that he’d been bragging about actually crumbled to dust, which made him lose face.

“Let’s go!” Zhong Pengzhan shot Huang Xiaolong an evil, spiteful glance and left with his henchmen.

“You know… Master Long, this place is so desolate and hasn’t been maintained for years. Zhong Pengzhan had no good intentions by inviting us here today! Mimi’s premonition was right!” Miao Erfang looked relieved. “Fortunately, we invited Master Long to come, otherwise… the consequences are unimaginable, the consequences are unimaginable…”

Just at that moment!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth surged with golden rays of light all of a sudden.

One by one, red lotuses began to bloom.

The earth sprouted golden lotuses!

All of a sudden, Huang Xiaolong was bathed in a sacred golden light, looking like a god who had descended from heaven.

Between reality and illusion, to Xia Ying, Miao Erfang, Zhou Mi, Huang Xiaolong’s figure underwent a big change.

In the rotating golden dawn, Huang Xiaolong appeared in a bright yellow robe, embroidered with a soaring dragon pattern. Under the surging golden waves at the hem of his robe, his sleeves were fluttering high in the wind. His flamboyant eyebrows slightly raised, his ink-jet-black pupils were flickering with warm, gentle light. His handsome face was reflecting the dawn, possessing a godlike majesty and inherent nobility. He exuded a king’s aura that could intimidate the world. A wanton smile was on his wickedly handsome face.

He held the seal of the underworld, presiding over the underground!

This was the image of the Yin Emperor!

Xia Ying, Miao Erfang, Zhou Mi, were all stupefied.

“Ah…hell, my divine power and divinity activated this City God Temple, now, all functions of the City God Temple are fully restored…” Huang Xiaolong was at a loss for words.
