Chapter 17 I Want to Become an Immortal
Two bodies lay on the ground, and the warehouse fell eerily quiet for a moment.
Huang Yaozu rubbed his temples, his mind a jumbled mess.
In the past, when something went wrong, his superiors would always clean up the mess for him. Now, things have gotten even worse; his superior himself is a ghost, and he's dead here. He has absolutely no idea how to report this to his superiors.
What's even more troublesome is, who knows if your boss's boss is a ghost?
Huang Yaozu felt increasingly overwhelmed and remained silent for a long time.
Huang Bai glanced at the two of them and said directly, "Stop thinking about it. Take your wife and kids and run away first. Yao Zu, you have connections, get a boat as soon as possible and go to the mainland."
He does possess magical abilities, but magic can't stop bullets. Gun control is very strict on the mainland; if we're really comparing safety, the mainland is definitely safer.
"I have connections. I'll contact them tonight," Huang Yaozu said immediately.
"Don't wait until tonight," Huang Bai said decisively. "Go now, right now. Don't worry about the money."
At worst, he could just go to Macau; money wasn't a big problem for him right now.
"it is good."
Huang Yaozu and Li Guoqiang didn't waste any more words and turned to leave.
At this point, no matter what the situation ahead may be, you must first bring your closest loved ones along.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The news spread like wildfire.
"Huang Yaozu and Li Guoqiang from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department shot and killed their superior. The two have fled and all departments are to cooperate in their capture."
The order spread throughout the police force almost instantly.
The murder of a department head was unprecedented in the Hong Kong government. Soon after, Wong Pak's identity was also revealed.
Television stations, radio stations, and newspapers were all broadcasting it, and the three men's appearances and names quickly spread throughout the city.
"The suspect is extremely dangerous. Please do not approach. A reward of HK$100,000 will be given for any information leading to his arrest."
"The Security Bureau has announced the detailed rules for vessel registration and dispatch; all ports are requested to conduct thorough checks."
Police and gang members were dispatched simultaneously, and the entire city began searching for the person.
In the shadows of the street corner, Huang Bai, wearing a mask, quietly watched the news on the television screen, already having formed his own judgment.
"At least at the level of the Hong Kong Chief Executive, they haven't been infiltrated by the devil."
If it really comes to that, the other side could simply put the entire city on high alert and blockade Hong Kong Island; the commotion would be far greater than it is now.
Of course, it's also possible that those ghosts don't want to make things public.
If the reaction goes too far, those in the know will immediately guess that there's something fishy going on at the top.
Huang Bai withdrew his gaze, turned around, and retreated into the depths of the alley.
He had to go back to Huangxian Temple first and take Zhigang away.
The bigger the commotion, the better; the Ghost King will show himself sooner or later.
Since the Heavenly Decree sent him to find the Ghost King, it wouldn't have thrown him away to a place hundreds of thousands of miles away. In other words, that thing must be in Hong Kong, and not too far away.
Inside Wong Sin Temple in Kowloon Walled City.
Zhi Gang was flipping through channels with his legs crossed, getting more and more bored, when he happened to see a news report on TV about the wanted persons of Huang and Bai.
"You bastard!" Zhi Gang sat up straight. "Did this kid rob a bank?"
His first reaction was to pack his valuables and run away, lest Huang Bai drag him down with him.
Before the things were properly packed away, the temple door was suddenly kicked open.
boom!
Two burly men barged in.
"Who are you? Don't you know that trespassing is illegal?!" Zhi Gang took several steps back, cursing inwardly. Just how much trouble had Huang Bai gotten into? The pursuers had arrived so quickly.
The two of them simply couldn't be bothered with him.
The one on the left glanced at Zhi Gang and said directly to his companion, "That's him. You go and possess him first, and when Huang Bai comes back, we'll catch him red-handed."
Zhi Gang's expression changed instantly.
"Are you...ghosts?"
It was only then that he fully understood that Huang Bai had not offended ordinary people, but those dirty bastards.
"I'll attack your mother, I'd rather die than let you succeed!"
With a determined look in his eyes, Zhi Gang rammed himself directly into the pillar beside him.
He knew very well that Huang Bai had probably killed a big shot in the underworld to cause this commotion. He couldn't offer any other help, but at least he couldn't become a shell for Huang Bai to use against him.
But the burly man was faster; with a swift movement, he blocked his path.
Zhi Gang's heart sank immediately.
It’s over.
If I run into them, I'll become a ghost shell. When Huang Bai returns, there's a high chance I'll be in trouble.
In the end, we still can't beat these devils?
Just then, the talisman hanging on his chest suddenly lit up.
With a flash of golden light, the burly man was thrown back as if he had struck a burning ember, landing on the ground and rolling twice.
"What the hell is that?"
The burly man was both shocked and furious.
Zhi Gang looked down at the Tomb Raider Talisman and was stunned.
"Does it really work?"
Another burly man's face darkened: "Stop talking nonsense, just kill him."
The two men simultaneously pulled out daggers.
The Tomb Raider Talisman can ward off possession, but it can't stop a knife. Before Zhi Gang could even catch his breath, his heart leaped into his throat again.
He wasn't so afraid anymore.
Huang Bai has already obtained the inheritance, and perhaps he will encounter someone who can save the world in the future. Having lived to this age, he may as well die.
But then, the most outrageous thing happened.
The wall suddenly rippled like water.
Huang Bai walked straight out of the wall.
He raised his hand and made a hand seal. Two golden rays shot out almost past his fingers, instantly piercing the foreheads of the two burly men.
The two bodies collapsed on the spot.
Huang Bai raised his hand again and unleashed a beam of eerie green light, which landed on Zhi Gang. The wound that had been grazed by the dagger healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhi Gang stared wide-eyed.
"You...you've mastered the four great secret spells?"
"More or less." Huang Bai nodded. "Let's not talk about that now, let's go."
Zhi Gang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"You vengeful ghosts, you've finally met your match."
After laughing, he quickly urged Huang Bai, "Don't worry about this old man, you go quickly. Don't take this burden with you."
"What are you dragging me for?" Huang Bai grabbed him. "Come with me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than gunshots rang out outside.
Bang bang bang!
It turns out that Huang Yaozu and Li Guoqiang have already been caught up with.
Li Guoqiang, holding his wife Xiaomei's hand, and the group of them scrambled through the streets and alleys, pursued by a swarm of police and gang thugs. Gunshots rang out intermittently, like death knells ringing in their ears.
"I know a place where we can hide!" Zhi Gang immediately said.
Huang Bai spread his divine sense and detected the positions of the pursuers in advance. He led the group to change direction constantly, taking the small paths that the pursuers could not block in time, and barely managed to break out of the encirclement.
Finally, a group of people went down the manhole cover into the underground sewer.
It was damp and cold inside, with a stench in the air and puddles underfoot.
Xiaomei had never really believed in ghostly pursuit before, but after witnessing Huang Bai pass through walls and cast spells, and seeing so many people chasing them with real swords and guns, she had no choice but to believe it.
"Let's hide first." Huang Bai glanced around. "We'll figure out a way to leave when things calm down a bit."
The group hid for three whole days.
Three days later, they sneaked to the dock under cover of night, stole a boat, and went out to sea.
I can't go to mainland China anymore.
Hong Kong authorities have issued a city-wide warrant for the arrest, and the mainland authorities may not know the true situation and might even help arrest him.
If you go there now, you might just run headfirst into the net.
The sea breeze was strong at night, and the sky was filled with stars.
Not long after the boat set sail, a speedboat caught up with it from behind.
"stop!"
The pursuers had their lights on, and their voices drifted over on the sea breeze.
Huang Bai raised his hand and fired a shot, knocking down the one in charge.
Another exchange of fire erupted at sea, gunfire flickering in the darkness. The group fought fiercely, finally managing to kill the few who had caught up.
Once the speedboat sank, the sea finally calmed down again.
Zhi Gang then noticed that Huang Bai's right arm had been grazed by a bullet, and blood was still flowing.
Are you alright?
"It's nothing serious."
Huang Bai glanced down at the wound, then raised his hand and cast a Taiyin Curse. The bleeding stopped quickly, and the skin and flesh began to heal slowly.
Unfortunately, being able to heal his wounds doesn't mean he's invulnerable.
Cultivating the Tao is ultimately not the same as cultivating immortality. The ability to be invulnerable to swords and spears would be considered a powerful supernatural ability by those truly enlightened masters in ancient times; it's not something that can be easily mastered.
No one dared to stop, and they continued driving forward through the night.
When they ran out of fuel halfway through the journey, they hijacked a fishing boat and got some fuel, which barely allowed them to make it to Thailand.
Inside a dilapidated shack in a slum in Thailand.
Huang Yaozu, Li Guoqiang and his wife, Zhigang and Huang Bai gathered in front of the television, watching the news reports about them.
"Notorious gang leader Huang Yaozu is suspected of murdering his superior and planning a school shooting..."
"The notorious criminal strategist Huang Bai is extremely vicious and ruthless, suspected of having ties to a cult, and disregards human life..."
Zhi Gang glanced at Huang Bai, afraid that these words would provoke him and cause him to lose his spirit and never recover.
"Don't listen to their nonsense," Zhi Gang cursed, then said seriously, "Since you've inherited Huang Daxian's legacy, you'll have your day sooner or later. Don't rush, I've endured for decades and survived, you're nothing compared to that."
Huang Yaozu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, you're going to get a shovel."
"We were the ones rescuing people, but now they're calling us ruthless bandits."
"When I really become a ghost someday, I'll go back and fuck those bastards to death."
These words were originally just said in anger, but after Huang Bai heard them, a thought suddenly struck him.
Ghosts are not afraid of bullets.
Yes.
He looked down at the spider lily pattern on the back of his hand, and a bold, almost insane idea suddenly popped into his head.
To transcend death and become an immortal.
First, release the soul to gain the ability to separate the soul from the body, and then use the resurrection power of the red spider lily to preserve the physical body.
Once the idea popped into my head, the rest of the path seemed to open up immediately.
Huang Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Got it."
He suddenly stood up, and the emerald green in his eyes seemed to come alive again.
Everyone in the room looked at him.
"Master Huang, have you thought of a solution?" Huang Yaozu asked hurriedly.
Huang Bai looked at everyone and slowly exhaled.
"The body is too weak."
"From today onwards, I will no longer be human."
