Revenge Ghost Alliance

After many days, Wang Longqi's complexion had improved greatly, and his eyes and brows were once again full of spirit.

Behind him followed a young man dressed as a scholar, wearing a dark blue coarse cloth cross-collar long gown with a plain color lining, and a slender build.

His appearance was also thin and rather refined, but his features were somewhat rigid, his face seemingly incapable of expression. When he looked at people, his eyeballs moved very slowly.

Stunned.

Li Chu led them to the front hall and carefully closed the door again before they each sat down on cushions.

"What's wrong? Did you run into an evil spirit again?" he asked Wang Longqi.

"Heh, this time it has nothing to do with me, it's my friend." Wang Longqi patted the scholar beside him.

The scholar then seemed to wake up from a dream, cupped his hands towards Li Chu, and said, "This humble scholar is Chen Zi'an, greetings, Little Daoist Priest Li."

"Hello." Li Chu nodded lightly.

After Chen Zi'an greeted him, he said no more. Wang Longqi sighed and continued to speak for him.

"Zi'an and I were classmates..."

Li Chu was slightly surprised.

Wang Longqi narrowed his eyes: "Don't make a surprised face, I know what you mean. This young master attended school for a few years, and my studies were quite good."

Li Chu was even more surprised.

Wang Longqi actually went to school; one truly cannot judge a book by its cover.

Chen Zi'an added from the side: "Seventh Young Master indeed studied with me for several years. Our teacher often praised his intelligence, saying that if he applied himself, he would surely be able to achieve fame."

"Yes, you don't know how much the teacher liked me back then. Unfortunately, his daughter liked me even more... otherwise, I wouldn't have been kicked out." Recalling his youthful past, Wang Longqi seemed quite wistful.

Li Chu had no interest in his romantic past and decisively said, "Tell me why you are here."

"Oh, it's like this." Wang Longqi immediately returned to the main topic: "Zi'an currently resides in Hangzhou Prefecture. This morning, he brought his wife back to Yuhang Town to visit relatives. However, while passing through Miao Feng Mountain, his wife mysteriously disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"Yes, we were walking side-by-side in the mountains at the time. One moment it was calm and clear, and suddenly a strange wind rose from nowhere, making it impossible to walk. At that moment, a temple appeared nearby, and we wanted to go inside to take shelter from the wind. Who knew that as soon as we stepped inside, in the blink of an eye, my wife was gone. Afterwards, no matter how hard I tried, I could never find any trace of her."

Chen Zi'an said heavily. His speech was very slow, and his eyes were unfocused when he spoke, it was unclear if he was still in shock.

Wang Longqi added: "For the past few days, the town has been spreading rumors that there are demons in Miao Feng Mountain. Zi'an is worried that his wife might have been captured by a demon. He found me for help, hoping to find some people to accompany him into the mountain to search for his wife. I thought, if there are demons, then we must come to you. If you have time, why not help him out this once."

Are there demons in Miao Feng Mountain?

Li Chu had been rather out of touch during his time at the County Government Office and had not heard any news of this.

He probably wouldn't be any too powerful a demon, otherwise he would have seen the demon flame soaring long ago when he usually observed the qi.

As his experience with exorcism gradually increased, Li Chu was no longer as timid and hesitant as he was at the beginning.

After all, courage stems from strength. After encountering so many evil spirits, none of whom could withstand his sword, his confidence in himself had increased a little.

A tiny bit.

He was still clear-headed enough to know that he was only in a small Yuhang Town and couldn't be like a frog in a well, underestimating the evil spirits of the world.

But similarly, he felt that at least in Yuhang Town, this small piece of land, he could be a little more assertive now.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, there's no time to delay, let's set off immediately."

It was best to go into the mountains to find someone as soon as possible. He immediately returned to the backyard and greeted Yu Qi'an.

Yu Qi'an smiled and nodded, "Come back early, we'll have hot pot tonight."

Soon, Li Chu, Wang Longqi, and the slightly dull scholar Chen Zi'an set off together on the road to Miao Feng Mountain.

Jiangnan Province is mostly hilly, and Yu Hang County is full of mountains and rivers, but they are usually small mounds, with few real large mountains.

Miao Feng Mountain is the only large mountain nearby.

The mountain is high but not dangerous, deep but not precipitous, covered with dense forests and bamboo, making it a good place for outings and sightseeing.

However, recently, there have been some demon legends circulating. More than one person claimed to have seen traces of demons in Miao Feng Mountain, which is why there were no tourists with their families.

At this moment, under a steep cliff in the mountains.

A giant, thirty feet tall, sat cross-legged. He was dressed in black and exuded killing qi all over his body. In broad daylight, it seemed as if black flames were emanating from him. His face was neither human nor beast, with a pair of black fangs protruding, and a tangled "king" pattern on his forehead.

Beside him stood another tall man wearing ancient armor. However, compared to the giant's size, even the tallest man seemed a bit small.

The armored man's face was bloodless, pale as iron, and he stood straight, even appearing somewhat stiff. If one looked at his hands, they would find his fingernails terrifyingly long.

The two ghosts remained silent.

After a long while, a red shadow suddenly flashed over.

A woman in a red dress, like a solitary swan, appeared. Her clothes were loose, with flowing cloud water sleeves and fluttering ribbons. However, they couldn't hide a pair of fair, long legs, which were vaguely visible with every movement, captivating the heart.

These three, or rather, these three ghosts, were the ones who had appeared in Corpse Hiding Cave before.

"Black Fang, Green Armor, they've set off."

The Red Clothed Woman slowly floated down, revealing a face that, at first glance, was stunningly beautiful. Her delicate eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth were all perfect.

But when such perfect facial features were combined into one face, if one looked for too long, there was a strange feeling...

"Did it take the bait?" Green Armor's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like metal grinding.

"Yes."

"Just as I thought, if we had gone directly to him, he might have become suspicious." Black Fang grinned ferociously, "But by going through his friend, he won't suspect a thing."

"Black Mountain Lord's brilliant plan." The Red Clothed Woman also revealed a charming smile.

Black Fang looked at her, "It must have been hard for you to keep an eye on his movements. This was the most dangerous mission."

"Actually... I've been observing that Little Daoist Priest for so long. Besides his extremely handsome appearance, he's quite ordinary in other aspects, and he doesn't seem to have any true qi at all." Red Ribbon was somewhat hesitant, "I suspect we might have the wrong person."

Black Fang said, "Impossible! We've been gathering information in Yuhang Town for days. Everyone says he's the best at exorcism. If not him, then who?"

"What do those mortals know? They're just repeating what they hear. He doesn't seem to have the strength to kill Lan Cai. Perhaps... it was his Master?" Red Ribbon guessed.

That Old Daoist Priest from Virtuous Cloud Temple, with his air of a master that seemed to overflow all day, was indeed very suspicious.

Black Fang's brows furrowed, the 'king' character on his forehead bulging. "No matter what, since he's here, he must die. If it's not him, then we'll find someone else."

Green Armor stiffly licked his lips, "If he's very weak, then our plan, which we've spent so long designing, will have been for nothing. In that case, I'll definitely make him die in the most painful way!"

Red Ribbon sized up the two ugly creatures in front of her and sighed subtly.

What a shame about that handsome face.

She would definitely peel it off and keep it later.
