"Junior brother, shall we ask the master now if we want to go?"
Jia Le thought that since he was going to help, he should hurry up.
Lin Yu was silently pondering; this time, he would probably be facing the senior disciple of Maoshan, his grand-uncle.
If it weren't for Uncle Nine's flying crane delivering a message, Lin Yu wouldn't have known that the Ghost Festival had arrived.
Otherwise, Lin Yu would have insisted on going back to stop Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng.
Lin Yu felt a headache coming on just thinking about the outrageous things his senior brother had done.
These two scoundrels dare to do things that ruin one's luck and damage one's moral character.
"Alright, let's not bother the master any longer. Let's head there tonight."
Lin Yu thought about it and decided not to ask the master for help. There was already a dispute between Daoism and Buddhism, and this was also a matter within Maoshan itself. If the master was involved, the nature of the matter would change.
"Leaving now?!"
Jia Le looked troubled; it was late at night and he was a little Four Eyes in this remote mountain area.
"The situation is urgent, we have to go."
Lin Yu was speechless. He wasn't afraid of his junior brother, but he, as the senior brother, was.
"Okay, I'll go pack my things."
Lin Yu also went to pack his belongings; he was going home, and he brought his things with him.
"Jia Le, Xiao Yu, where are you two going so late at night? Did you get news from your master?"
The master, seeing and hearing the commotion, also came over to inquire.
"Master, the gates of hell are wide open today! Something's happened to my senior master, my junior brother's master. We need to go help."
"Oh, do you need my help?"
"It is the responsibility of us cultivators to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path," the master said, turning to go back and pack his things.
"No need, no need. My master has already issued a summons to Maoshan, and some Maoshan have already gone to help."
Lin Yu quickly grabbed the master, otherwise, if a monk were mixed in with a group of Daoists, the master might not be in a good position.
"Master, I'll leave the house in your care."
After saying goodbye to the master, Jia Le and Lin Yu walked into the night.
"Please be careful!"
The master looked worriedly at their retreating figures and gave them some instructions.
These are truly turbulent times. First, Four Eyes passed away, and now even two of the younger generation have left.
"Okay~"
Jia Le's voice came from afar.
"Junior brother... do you think there are any wandering ghosts around here?"
The two ran through the night, the wind whistling and the leaves rustling.
Jia Le kept glancing around, cautiously surveying his surroundings.
"Senior brother, watch your step. Don't think too much. We're still near our master's dojo; wandering ghosts wouldn't dare mess with us."
As Lin Yu ran, he reminded Jia Le to watch his step; with the way he ran, Lin Yu didn't believe he wouldn't fall.
"Junior brother... did you see that?"
Jia Le asked Lin Yu, trembling. Just as he turned his head, he saw a dark shadow flash by in the darkness.
Jia Le's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she moved closer to Lin Yu with a look of fear in her eyes.
"What are you afraid of? It's probably just a small animal. Don't scare yourself at night."
Lin Yu comforted Jia Le, but he was already on guard inwardly.
After breaking through to the Dharma Master Realm, his five senses became extraordinary, not to mention he also had Divine Sense. He clearly sensed that thing just now; it was another monster that didn't know its own mortality.
"Senior brother, this is too slow. If we keep going like this, we might not even get out of the mountains by dawn. Please post this."
Lin Yu took out the Divine Movement Talisman from his pocket and handed it to Jia Le.
Now is not the time to get entangled with these monsters; it's more important to get to the mortuary as soon as possible, otherwise, he can't guarantee what might happen.
"Junior brother, you really have a lot of good stuff!"
Jia Le watched as Lin Yu took out another new gadget, and curiously examined it.
He even forgot about the ghostly figure that had just frightened him.
"Don't waste time, hurry up and put on the stickers so we can get going."
Lin Yu, exasperated, applied a speed- Divine Movement Talisman to him and whispered a spell to help him activate it.
"It's no use, junior brother. This talisman is seriously unworthy of its name."
Jia Le checked it out, but nothing happened. She looked at Lin Yu in confusion.
"Get moving!"
Lin Yu sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. How could he be so stupid?
"Oh, I'll try, ahh~"
As soon as Jia Le took a step, the talisman on his leg emitted a golden light, enveloping him, and he shot out like a bolt of lightning with a "whoosh".
Seeing this, Lin Yu glanced around, affixed a talisman, and followed.
"Grandma, what should we do?"
"Chase quickly"
Just after Lin Yu Jia Le left, a sound suddenly came from the surroundings, followed by several dark figures flashing by quickly.
Jia Le looked on in terror at the trees rushing past him. He tried to slow down, but his legs wouldn't obey him and instead sped up faster.
Because it was going so fast, it was crashing into things all the way. Sometimes, if Jia Le hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have broken several of the trees behind him.
"Junior brother~ You're going too fast, can you slow down a bit~"
Jia Le shouted to Lin Yu while also trying to avoid obstacles in front of him.
"No, we need to get going."
Lin Yu remained silent, his face grim, as he silently sensed the changes around him.
"Senior brother, it seems your jinx really came true."
Lin Yu sensed something and looked helplessly at Jia Le beside him.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Jia Le shouted.
Lin Yu intervened, stopping Jia Le, and then took out a talisman, cautiously watching ahead.
"Junior brother, what happened?"
Jia Le, who had already gotten used to the thrill of high-speed driving and was even enjoying it, suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled expression.
"There are demons blocking our way."
Lin Yu's expression was solemn, and he gripped the talisman tightly in his hand. In his perception, there was more than one demon ahead.
"No... don't be afraid, your senior brother will protect you."
Although Jia Le initially said he was scared, when danger actually struck, as the senior apprentice, he stepped forward and stood in front of his junior apprentice.
"Hehehe, two delicate-skinned little Daoist priests, they must taste delicious."
The demon ahead, realizing it had been exposed, gradually emerged from the darkness, uttering words to frighten the two.
Upon seeing so many monsters, Jia Le instinctively wanted to run away with Lin Yu, but their feet seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
A group of fox demons surrounded them. The leader of the fox demons stood upright like a human, with a body as large as a tiger, sharp eyes, and fur that shimmered with golden light.
"Junior brother... are you confident?"
Although Jia Le was frightened, he took a deep breath to bolster his courage.
"So it was a vixen, no wonder she smelled so strongly of filth."
Lin Yu didn't reply to Jia Le, but instead looked at the group of vixens walking out in front and mocked them.
This move left Jia Le speechless. No, bro, look at the situation! How many monsters are on the other side? And how many of us are there?
Is that really how arrogant they are?
Ahead, there were probably more than ten fox demons, but the most powerful one, the leader, was only about the same level as Lin Yu in terms of cultivation.
A few days ago, Lin Yu might have felt troubled by the sheer number of opponents, but things are different now. They dare to try and block his way with such limited strength.
"You ignorant brat, spouting nonsense! Let me ask you, didn't you and that stinking Daoist priest kill a little fox a while ago?"
The leader, an old fox as big as Jia Le, had a fierce glint in its eyes, as if it would pounce on the two of them and tear them to shreds if Lin Yu answered incorrectly.
The fox demons behind it also let out low growls, their voices suppressed and deep, as if they were ready for battle at any moment.
