Fierce Kill

Using his Hundred Flavors Exquisite methods, Li Banfeng followed a faint Incense Aura in the air and found Liu Liangyi.

Liu Liangyi manipulated the Ghost Servant using this wisp of incense.

He's right, surprise attacks yield the highest returns.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was easily overlooked while living in House Cultivator, and using his Portable Abode to travel a distance, Li Banfeng stealthily approached Liu Liangyi from behind and stabbed Liu Liangyi in the back of the head with a dagger.

Logically speaking, for an ordinary opponent, taking this hit would end the battle.

But the Nightmare Cultivator is different. As long as Liu Liangyi has a breath left, he can use his Ghost Servant to fight back.

Ten Ghost Servant remained by his side, and at that moment they all rushed towards Li Banfeng.

This situation is very difficult. Li Banfeng can see ghosts, but he can't hurt them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Liangyi broke free from Li Banfeng and pulled the knife out from the back of his head.

He knew he might not survive, but he wanted to take Li Banfeng with him even in death.

A Ghost Servant swung his knife at the back of Li Banfeng's head, Blood-Containing Pendulum suddenly jumped out and slashed the Ghost Servant times, instantly killing him.

After drinking Lu Dongliang's blood, the pendulum evolved, and she can now harm the souls of the dead.

On the verge of losing consciousness, Liu Liangyi decided to take a desperate gamble, using all his strength to summon the surrounding ghosts and their Ghost Servant to rush forward.

Blue Poplar Village, a place of simple and honest folk, is rife with bloodshed every day, and the dead are everywhere.

Just as the pendulum was about to give way, Li Banfeng opened the Portable Abode, and his Wife's singing voice came from inside.

"Red lights and green wine at night"

Gather around the stove to ward off the cold.

Love and romance bring boundless joy.

The clear songs drifted and the graceful dances swayed.

Happiness is better than being a god

..."

The souls of the dead, having endured enough misery in the desolate wilderness, marched in orderly steps into their Portable Abode to the accompaniment of enchanting songs, waiting to flirt with the record player.

Liu Liangyi's Ghost Servant held out for a few seconds before joining the group of wronged souls in entering Portable Abode.

What kind of magical artifact is this?

Where is Ghost Servant going?

Liu Liangyi lit candles, burned talismans, and tried every means possible, but he could not stop the Ghost Servant from leaving.

Li Banfeng looked at Liu Liangyi with a smile; things were much easier now.

Liu Liangyi grabbed a dagger and charged at Li Banfeng.

Even if he wasn't injured, a fourth-level Nightmare Cultivator who has lost his Ghost Servant is no match for a third-level House Cultivator plus a second-level Travel Cultivator.

Li Banfeng dodged the dagger, grabbed Liu Liangyi by the hair, and threw him into Portable Abode.

Huff~

The record player chuckled, "Why is there another one? The food isn't fresh enough, but Little Slave 've been hungry for so long, so I won't be picky."

The Copper Lotus was somewhat dissatisfied, and its body was covered in dewdrops.

Of the entire room, Liu Liangyi was the only one who was edible.

Liu Liangyi's son, Liu Changyu, had his face peeled off by Chu Er. Filled with resentment, he wanted revenge, but he dared not confront Chu Er, so he could only vent his anger on Ma Wu.

Unexpectedly, Liu Changyu, who had his face stripped off, was actually lucky.

Liu Liangyi was still conscious, but his soul was being slowly dissected by the record player. Under the intense pain, a thought surfaced in his mind.

It's this person.

Song Jia Sen died at the hands of this man.

I misjudged it.

The person we need to be wary of is not Ma Wu.

Liu Liangyi entered the Portable Abode and lost control of all the Ghost Servant.

At the Dream Spring Garden dance floor, the Ghost Servant were bewildered and helpless, and the paper figures stood frozen in place.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ma Wu led everyone and rushed out of the dance floor with Little Genzi.

Little Chuanzi gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, what about the dance hall? It just opened today, are we just going to abandon it?"

"If you don't want it, then don't. There's plenty of time and many opportunities. Let's go hide in the granary for a while." Ma Wu didn't have any magic weapons, but there were many Spiritual Object in the granary, which might be enough to tide him over for a while.

The group entered the warehouse and searched for supplies. After about ten minutes, Little Genzi suddenly poked his head out.

"Young master, listen, there's a noise coming from the dance floor."

"What's going on?" Ma Wu was worried that the group of paper figures would burn down the house. It wouldn't matter if only the dance hall burned down, but the surrounding taverns, inns, and Ji Qing Class would also be affected.

After listening intently by the window for a while, Ma Wu heard music.

"In my dream last night"

The peach blossoms still greet the spring breeze.

The two were deeply in love.

I woke up to find it was all for naught.

This song is called "Last Night's Dream," and it's Ma Wu's favorite song.

Who's playing music in the dance hall at this hour?

It's Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng placed the record his Wife had cut onto the windmill record player.

The Ghost Servant broke free from the paper figures and gathered around the record player, listening quietly to the beautiful singing.

Despite the seemingly harmonious scene, the situation is extremely dangerous.

If the Nightmare Cultivator on the fourth floor dies, the Ghost Servant will go out of control and may very well turn into Evil Spirit.

The room was filled with out-of-control Ghost Servant; if anything went wrong, Li Banfeng could lose his life.

The song was only a little over three minutes long. Just as the song was about to end, Li Banfeng quietly opened the door to his Portable Abode.

The singing in the dance floor stopped, and all the Ghost Servant looked at Li Banfeng, they were very angry.

Li Banfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, hoping his Wife would quickly take over.

Then, singing began to play inside the room.

"Could it be that you're both foolish and stupid?"

Perhaps you're clueless about romance?

Do you love me or not?

Why did you teach me to wait idly...?

The Ghost Servant were drawn by the Wife's voice and rushed into her Portable Abode.

Li Banfeng breathed a sigh of relief, when suddenly his Wife shouted, "Hey, husband, close the door right now! This place stinks!"

Pushing open the dance hall door, Li Banfeng put on his top hat and walked to the warehouse. He said to Ma Wu by the window, "Have someone clean it up."

Have you dealt with all those Ghost Servant in the room?

Ma Wu couldn't believe it.

He wanted to ask one more question, but then he noticed that Li Banfeng had lowered the brim of his hat and quickly disappeared into the night.

Little Chuanzi walked up to Ma Wu and asked in a low voice, "What's this gentleman's name? I want to ask, but I don't dare."

"Just call him Seventh Master, and don't ask anything else."

"Seventh Master, is he your brother?"

"Didn't I tell you? Don't ask anything!"

Ma Wu instructed everyone to clean the dance floor, and Little Genzi, carrying a bucket and a spoon, walked at the front.

"Genzi!" Ma Wu caught up in two steps. "You don't need to go to do the cleaning. Go to the accounting office and collect five hundred silver dollars. You'll get the credit tonight."

Little Genzi took the five hundred silver dollars and put them in his pocket.

He touched the bucket behind him and then the spoon in his hand, walking with a particularly firm air.

He decided that he would carry the bucket with him from now on, even when he slept!

Little Chuanzi slept in the same room as him, so he decided to move to another place.

Li Banfeng returned to Portable Abode and sorted through Liu Liangyi's belongings.

Liu Liangyi came from a bandit background and was quite famous in the Green Forest Path. He only had less than two thousand yuan in cash and a dozen silver dollars on him, which made Li Banfeng very contemptuous.

Besides money, Liu Liangyi also had a lot of incense and candles on him. His Wife gasped and said, "Hey, my lord, these are tools used by the Nightmare Cultivator to control his Ghost Servant."

"If one knows how to use Nightmare Cultivator techniques, these things will be very useful. Even if one doesn't know how to use Nightmare Cultivator techniques, they can still summon some wandering ghosts, saving the young master the trouble of buying groceries."

Since his Wife said it was useful, Li Banfeng naturally had to keep it.

There was also a stack of yellow paper with strange runes drawn on it.

The record player explained, "My lord, these are the contracts between the Nightmare Cultivator and the Ghost Servant. The Nightmare Cultivator always carries them with him, so they are of no use to you."

Contract?

Li Banfeng was taken aback. "Why wasn't this here when we took Du Hongxi?"

"Yes, it was eaten by that bitch Red Lotus."

Li Banfeng was taken aback, then glanced at Red Lotus: "Why are you eating this?"

Red Lotus didn't respond, and even if she did, Li Banfeng wouldn't understand.

Sizzle~

The Wife answered for her, "Contracts have a spirit, and they're not considered goods. Red Lotus likes these kinds of things the most."

It wouldn't really matter if she ate it; she could refine something from it. It's just that she ate too few contracts last time, and probably hasn't even managed to gather a single Lotus Seed yet.

Du Hongxi had only fifteen Ghost Servant and fifteen contracts.

Liu Liangyi has sixty Ghost Servant, and he fed all sixty contracts to Red Lotus. He doesn't know what they will be refined into.

Just as Li Banfeng was about to hand the contract to Copper Lotus, he saw that the petals had already opened.

The Wife exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear! That slut stole a bite!"

A gust of wind suddenly swept up the Lotus Heart and devoured all the incense and candles that Li Banfeng had carefully arranged!

Before Li Banfeng could react, the contract in his hand was also eaten by Tong Lian.

Li Banfeng angrily said, "This is outrageous! Starting to eat without even asking!"

The record player was also annoyed. "This slut deserves a beating, my husband. If you don't follow the family rules, our family will have no discipline."

Just as the record player was about to unleash its fury and steam began to billow out, the Copper Lotus bloomed again.

There were two Lotus Seed on the Lotus Heart. One was Liu Liangyi's corpse, which was still being refined. The other was already ripe. Li Banfeng peeled the Lotus Seed off.

The Lotus Seed were fried until they produced ten sheets of white paper.

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "What's the use of this?"

The Copper Lotus closed its petals, but still received no response.

After observing for a moment, the Wife exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, husband, this is Contract Paper!"

What is Contract Paper?

Ta-da-ta-ta~ Hey!

The record player played a slow tempo, spewing steam as it sang. "This kind of treasure has been lost for decades. I never thought that the bitch Red Lotus would actually be able to refine it."

Li Banfeng asked, puzzled, "What's the use of this?"

"But it has great uses. Contracts made with Contract Paper will be severely punished if the breacher breaks them."

Li Banfeng was very interested. "What kind of severe punishment will they receive?"

"That depends on what kind of ingredients the husband uses. For example, when the husband writes the contract, he places poison on the Contract Paper. The Contract Paper will swallow the poison. At that time, the other party will put their fingerprint on it. If the other party breaches the contract, they will die from the poison."

Li Banfeng pondered for a moment, then said to the record player, "I'll write a contract in a bit. We'll live happily ever after as husband and wife. If you ever murder your husband, then this contract will be forfeited..."

Call!

Before Li Banfeng could finish speaking, a cloud of steam made his face turn completely red.

Huff! Huff!

"My Little Slave is holding these things to guard against me. My Little Slave is treating Little Slave badly! I won't sign this contract!"

"If you don't want to sign, then don't sign. Why are you doing this?" Li Banfeng rubbed his cheek and put the Contract Paper away.

Three days later, Ma Wu brought back several newspapers and handed them to Li Banfeng: "Liu Liangyi, the old manager of the Liu family, has disappeared. He must have been the one who attacked us that night."

Li Banfeng offered no comment, instead asking, "Above the Liu family is the Si Family. What is the role of the head of the Si Family?"

"The head of the Si Family is called Si Wennian. It is said that he has a cultivation level of five. I don't know which sect he belongs to, but he has many ruthless people under his command."

"Ruthless..." Li Banfeng rubbed his forehead. "Did you take the pills I gave you?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'm a little afraid of the Pill Poison."

Li Banfeng gave a wry smile, "Hurry up and eat, then hurry up and find a girl, and get back to your cultivation."

Brother Ma, you're good at making money, but with your current cultivation level, how will you guard the house?

After saying that, Li Banfeng left.

This is a practical problem; Ma Wu is too weak, Li Banfeng can't stay here guarding the gate forever.

Ma Wu sat in the wooden house, not moving for a long time.

Li Qi is right, this can't go on.

He took out the Golden Essence Pill from under the bed and swallowed it with a sip of water.

Si Wennian arrived at Lu Dongjun's residence and sat in the gatehouse for more than an hour.

The gatekeeper advised, "Manager Si, please take my advice. Don't wait today. Second Master is too busy."

Si Wennian sighed and said, "Something terrible has happened to the Liu family. No matter how busy you are, Second Master, I have to see him."

Zhi Gua didn't bother to say anything more, and after another hour, the strategist Wan Jinxian entered the gatehouse.

"Manager Si, the Second Master requests your presence."

Si Wennian was very happy and quickly followed Wan Jinxian into the main hall. Upon seeing Lu Dongjun, he had just bowed and hadn't even spoken when Lu Dongjun spoke first:

"Old Si, you've come at the right time. I'm going to the mansion to see my sister-in-law in a bit. Come with me."

Si Wennian was stunned.

He came to seek Lu Dongjun's support, but ended up being assigned by Lu Dongjun to be his follower.

"Second Master, I've come to discuss matters concerning Blue Poplar Village..."

"What's so great about Blue Poplar Village? That lousy village isn't worth a damn much! If you can get this done for me today, I'll let you open two more businesses in Green Water City!"

Lu Dongjun got angry, Si Wennian didn't dare to say a word. He went to the Lu Family with Lu Dongjun.

Why must we bring Si Wennian along?

Actually, Lu Dongjun didn't have a deep impression of Si Wennian. If Wan Jinxian hadn't reminded him, Lu Dongjun wouldn't have remembered that such a person existed.

Si Wennian practiced Sufferance Cultivator, and Sufferance Cultivator and Joy Cultivator restrained each other.

Lu Dongjun's trip was specifically aimed at Monkey Qiu, and Wan Jinxian suggested bringing Si Wennian along as an extra layer of insurance.

These days, no matter what Lu Dongjun does in the Lineage, he is controlled by Monkey Qiu.

The Lineage's attitude was also strange; everyone, from top to bottom, listened to Monkey Qiu, and it was unclear who the outsiders were.

Today I'm going to settle things with Monkey Qiu.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Lu Dongjun first chatted with Lu Dongliang's legal wife Duan Shaoxia, for a while.

Madam Duan spent her days in tears and became very thin.

"Dongjun, do you have any news about Dongliang? If you do, please tell me. You absolutely cannot keep it from me."

"Sister-in-law, I've been looking for my brother too. Don't worry, he'll definitely be alright."

Seeing Duan Shaoxia's face covered in tears, Lu Dongjun felt a pang of sympathy.

Lu Dongjun himself also found it strange.

Why should I feel sorry for her? She's just an old woman.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Dongjun got down to business. "I'm here today to discuss some business matters with Steward Qiu. With my elder brother away these days, the He Family, Ma, and Chu families are all eyeing us covetously; we must be on guard!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Shaoxia quickly instructed her servants, "Go and fetch Steward Qiu. Don't delay important matters."

Qiu Zhiheng entered the main hall and first bowed to Lu Dongjun.

Lu Dongjun nodded, not letting Qiu Zhiheng sit down, and asked directly, "I went to the Bai Le Men yesterday to check the accounts, and there was a sum of money missing, and it's not a small amount. Monkey, did you know about this?"

Monkey Qiu was taken aback, then shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't heard of it."

"Haven't you heard?" Lu Dongjun smiled. "Ever since the family incident, you've been managing the business. You should know where this money went, right?"

Qiu Zhiheng frowned slightly. "Second Master, do you suspect that I embezzled money from the Bai Le Men?"

Lu Dongjun sized up Monkey Qiu, his face darkening. "Can't I even ask you a question? Who's in charge here? What makes you so temperamental?"

Qiu Zhiheng remained silent, his eyes fixed on Lu Dongjun's wrist.

Duan Shaoxia said from the side, "Dongjun, what's wrong with you? Steward Qiu didn't say anything."

Lu Dongjun waved his hand at Duan Shaoxia and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about this. We need to get to the bottom of this with him today!"

Lu Dongjun claimed he was visiting Duan Shaoxia, but suddenly turned on Monkey Qiu, intending to catch him off guard.

Duan Shaoxia thought Lu Dongjun was just throwing a tantrum, so she didn't stop him. Little did she know that Lu Dongjun had come to take Monkey Qiu's life.

What are the consequences of killing Monkey Qiu?

The consequences will be severe; the entire Lineage will believe that Lu Dongjun has ulterior motives and may even isolate Lu Dongjun.

However, Wan Jinxian analyzed the situation for Lu Dongjun, suggesting that if they didn't kill Monkey Qiu, the consequences would be even more serious.

Monkey Qiu restricted Lu Dongjun at every turn, and with this person around, Lu Dongjun never took over the real power of the Lineage.

Moreover, Monkey Qiu is secretly searching for Lu Dongliang, Zhuo Yuling, and Lu Xiaolan. If he finds even one of these three, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Monkey Qiu never expected Lu Dongjun to be so ruthless. He didn't mind being ridiculed by Lu Dongjun, and he kept an eye on Lu Dongjun's wrist.

A scar could be seen at the cuff.

Is this the price Lu Dongjun paid for using the necklace?

Was Lu Dongliang really Lu Dongjun in disguise?

Monkey Qiu wanted to confirm again when he suddenly heard Lu Dongjun ask, "What are you looking at? I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Qiu Zhiheng's eyes twitched. Now he could see clearly that Lu Dongjun did indeed have a scar on his wrist.

Monkey Qiu remained calm, preparing to send Lu Dongjun away first, and then discuss countermeasures with the key members of his Lineage.

But Lu Dongjun wasn't going to leave. He suddenly punched Monkey Qiu, saying, "I think you've really forgotten who you are!"

Monkey Qiu is a seventh-level Joy Cultivator. Although he is not good at close combat, his level is still high enough.

In addition, Qiu Zhiheng was always wary whenever he saw Lu Dongjun.

Lu Dongjun missed his punch, Duan Shaoxia grabbed Lu Dongjun, saying, "Dongjun, that's not right of you."

Taking this opportunity, Qiu Zhiheng quickly retreated, creating a distance of more than five meters between himself and Lu Dongjun.

Lu Dongjun pushed Duan Shaoxia, pointed at Monkey Qiu, and shouted, "Today I'm going to teach you some manners!"

Just this one finger, more than five meters away from Monkey Qiu, pointed at Monkey Qiu's chest.

Monkey Qiu experienced severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, and his face turned bluish-purple.

Lu Dongjun stood still and kicked out from a distance. Monkey Qiu dodged with difficulty, but was grazed on the chin and staggered, almost falling over.

Lu Dongjun took two steps forward and was about to throw another punch when Monkey Qiu glanced at Lu Dongjun. Lu Dongjun felt his blood surging and hesitated slightly before making his move.

Qiu Zhiheng immediately gave a whistle, and more than a dozen people rushed into the house, both inside and outside.

Wan Jinxian took out a stone lion from his pocket, and Lu Dongjun pulled out a false tooth from his mouth and quickly stuffed it into the stone lion's mouth.

The lion's eyes lit up, and inside and outside the house, the dozen or so hanging objects seemed to have hit an impenetrable wall; no one could rush into the hall.

Monkey Qiu was startled; he had never seen this magical artifact before.

Duan Shaoxia's eyes twitched, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
