Reversing Lifespan Talisman (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Xingchen Nanmian)

"Open the door for him!" Zheng Shouhe gripped the dagger tightly and pressed it against Wen Xiangyu's back.

Wen Xiangyu had no choice but to open the door.

After the door opened, a handsome face was revealed; it was Lu Yang.

Wen Xiangyu desperately tried to signal Lu Yang to run away, but Lu Yang ignored her, wearing a professional fake smile, "Your skewers."

Zheng Shouhe also gave a professional fake smile. The other party looked like an honest man, and it was too easy to lure him in. "Young man, please come in and have a seat. I'll get you the money."

Lu Yang believed him and walked in. Seeing that the room was completely dark, he laughed and said, "You didn't even turn on the lights. You're asleep so early."

When Wen Xiangyu saw Lu Yang enter in a daze, she became very anxious. She steeled herself and tried to push Lu Yang out.

Zheng Shouhe could easily see Wen Xiangyu's unusual behavior, but it was too late. He sneered, threw Wen Xiangyu behind him, and thrust his dagger at Lu Yang in the darkness.

Zheng Shouhe had been living in darkness for a long time, and his eyes had adapted to it. The other party, walking in from the street, would definitely need some time to adjust to the darkness. This was his opportunity!

It seems tonight is destined to be a bloody night!

Lu Yang kicked Zheng Shouhe four or five meters away.

What's the point of explaining science to cultivators?

Zheng Shouhe hadn't expected Lu Yang's kick. The kick was too heavy and powerful, like a boulder hitting his chest. He saw stars, broke several ribs, and coughed up blood!

He realized he had run into a serious problem; to survive, he had to use the hostages!

Zheng Shouhe forcefully suppressed the pain in his chest with his willpower and turned over to grab Wen Xiangyu's wrist.

"If you lay a hand on her again, I'll kill her!" Zheng Shouhe threatened viciously.

The person in Zheng Shouhe's arms sneered, "Who are you going to kill?"

Zheng Shouhe looked down and was horrified to discover that he had not grabbed Wen Xiangyu, but Lu Yang!

Lu Yang slapped Zheng Shouhe's chin with one hand, snatched the dagger with the other, and then casually dislocated Zheng Shouhe's limbs.

"What bad luck! Even delivering food can cause so much trouble."

Lu Yang exhaled, lit a candle, and the room was dimly lit.

Wen Xiangyu never expected things to change so quickly. The barbecue restaurant waiter seemed to be a god descended to earth, and the vicious thugs were subdued in the blink of an eye.

"Are you alright?" Lu Yang helped Wen Xiangyu, who was sitting blankly on the ground, to her feet.

"N-nothing."

"It's alright, here's the money for the skewers," Lu Yang said politely.

"Huh? Oh... oh." Wen Xiangyu then remembered that Lu Yang had come to deliver takeout and, incidentally, rescued her.

After giving Lu Yang the money, Wen Xiangyu felt a lingering fear and wanted to say something to ease her anxiety, "You... you're a cultivator?"

"Yes."

"Cultivators run shops too?"

"It's for making a living."

Lying on the ground groaning in pain, Zheng Shouhe was filled with regret. What bad luck! He ran into a cultivator as soon as he stepped out the door. Have cultivators really fallen so low as to deliver food to make a living?

Seeing Wen Xiangyu's relieved expression, Lu Yang chuckled and shook his head, "I'll go with you to report the crime."

"Thank you." Wen Xiangyu remembered the thief upstairs. "Oh, right, there was another person upstairs; he must have been his accomplice."

When Wen Xiangyu woke up, she saw Zheng Shouhe and Lu Zhi and assumed that the two were together but were fighting each other because of her beauty.

When Lu Yang went upstairs and saw Lu Zhi, who was tied up tightly, he also assumed he was Zheng Shouhe's accomplice. "It's a gang crime."

Lu Zhi protested his innocence. "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not with that man. He's a kidnapper, and I'm a thief. Our starting points for sentencing are different!"

Lu Yang chuckled, "You seem to know quite a bit about criminal law."

"Before we commit a crime, we always check the laws to see how many years we can be sentenced to," Lu Zhi said, showing that he knew his stuff.

"Let's go then, let's go to the yamen and see how many years you can get sentenced to."

Upon hearing that he was being taken to the yamen (government office), Lu Zhi was terrified and immediately begged for mercy, "No, no, no, brother! We can talk this over. We're all in the same boat, why push me so hard? How about this, I'll give you something good, and you'll let me go?"

Lu Yang sized up Lu Zhi, seeing him as just an ordinary person. "What good stuff?"

"A piece of yellow paper that can put people to sleep. With this paper, you can make whoever you want to sleep, and you can do whatever you want to her!"

Lu Yang, recalling the recent strange occurrences, frowned, realizing the problem was serious, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is it?"

Lu Zhi isn't stupid; he wouldn't just answer, "You have to promise to let me go first!" when asked.

Lu Yang solemnly swore. "I, Chi Xulong, swear to the heavens, if I don't release you, may I be struck by lightning!"

Lu Zhi was overjoyed. "The yellow paper is in the corner of the outer wall on the first floor."

Clearly, Lu Zhi wasn't very smart either.

Lu Yang jumped down from the second floor, walked around the first floor, and sure enough, found a yellow piece of paper.

The yellow paper was covered with symbols that Lu Yang couldn't understand, resembling some kind of talisman.

He carefully put the talisman away and returned to the second floor. "Where did you get this?"

"Right under the big stone bridge, once when I was escaping by boat, I happened to look up and see a yellow paper pasted under the big stone bridge."

Lu Yang nodded, went downstairs to catch Zheng Shouhe's leg, and escorted the two to the yamen, with Wen Xiangyu following closely behind.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're going back on your word!" Lu Zhi yelled.

Lu Yang sneered. It was Chi Xulong who got struck by lightning, what did it have to do with him, Lu Yang?

It just so happens that it was Constable Wei's turn to be on duty tonight. When he saw Lu Yang escorting two criminals to the yamen, he had a feeling of "it's you again."

After hearing about the two criminals' situations, Chief Constable Wei put away his joking thoughts and became serious. Zheng Shouhe had a murder case against him and was a serious criminal. Lu Yang had done a great service.

"This is the yellow paper that Lu Zhi mentioned." Lu Yang handed the yellow paper to Constable Wei, having already memorized the symbols on it.

Officer Wei took the yellow paper and realized the problem with it.

He heard that some people below were sleepy during the day, but he himself didn't feel it and thought it was no big deal. Now it seems that someone was deliberately playing tricks on him!

Countless pieces of this yellow paper are now hidden in Yanjiang County!

However, Officer Wei didn't know what the runes on the yellow paper meant, so he went to ask the chief constable when he came to work during the day.

"Thank you, I'll send you another banner tomorrow." After taking statements from Lu Yang and Wen Xiangyu, Officer Wei waved goodbye.

Before leaving, Lu Yang went to the prison and found Chi Xulong: "I have a brother named Zheng Shouhe who will be in here for a while. Could you please take care of him?"

Chi Xulong sneered, "So you actually need my help now? Take care of me? I've mastered the art of spitting pebbles, watch how I deal with him!"

After Lu Yang escorted Wen Xiangyu back to the tofu shop, he firmly refused the tofu that Wen Xiangyu offered him.

After all that commotion, the barbecue restaurant had already closed for the day. When Lu Yang returned, the two vengeful spirits were washing dishes.

Lu Yang showed the runes on the yellow paper to Lan Ting: "Take a look at these runes. Don't they put people to sleep?"

After examining it carefully, Lan Ting looked surprised and said, "Where did you find this? It's a Lifespan Reversal Talisman. This talisman absorbs a person's lifespan, and the person whose lifespan is absorbed will outwardly appear as having little energy and being prone to sleepiness."

"These runes only work on mortals and have no effect on cultivators whatsoever."
