Chapter 14

Its burrs were as hard as steel, and I accidentally cut my arm with one of them.

Blood was running down my arm.

I'm not made of clay. I got angry and threw two thunder and fire beads at it.

The huge destructive force blew the Soul Eater's skin and flesh to pieces, and even two of its legs were blown off by me.

However, after throwing these two thunder and fire beads, I felt a little weak and the ghost spirit in my body was no longer enough.

Looking at Yuan Li and Zhang Lei, neither of them could withstand the attacks of those soul-eating monsters.

Let’s fight!

I made up my mind and held the Feather Stone in my palm. I poured all the ghost spirit into it and chanted: "Heaven and Earth Mysterious Sect, Nine Yuan Evil Children, Five Ding Dusi, all evil will be destroyed!"

The feather stone suddenly turned into a feather, and the tiny threads on the feather shot towards the soul-eating monsters on my left and right.

The two of them were instantly covered by feathers, and their huge bodies were absorbed by countless feathers. They were originally ghosts without flesh, and they were sucked away in an instant without a trace left.

Then all the feathers returned to the feather stone, which shone like a hedgehog.

I could feel Yuhaoshi's excitement, but I was exhausted, dizzy and unable to support my body, so I sat down on the ground.

Three of them are dead now, and there are only three left. Sister Ma and I have lost our fighting ability, so we can only rely on Yuan Li and Zhang Lei.

The two of them surrounded Sister Ma and me to prevent us from being attacked by the Soul Devourers. The three Soul Devourers did not act rashly and watched us with equal vigilance.

For a moment, neither of us moved, forming a delicate balance.

The soul-eating monster suddenly accelerated and bit Yuan Li with its big claws.

We didn't expect them to be able to do this.

Seeing Yuan Li's face turn blue, his three souls and seven spirits could not bear it anymore and rushed out of Yuan Li's body.

Now I understand how soul-eaters eat souls. They use the poisonous stinger on their tails that is similar to a bee sting, or their large claws, and their saliva. Once they touch a human, the human's three souls and seven spirits will leave the body and become their food.

But knowing this now is useless. I don't have the strength to deal with them. The feather stone communicated with Yuan Li's mind and took back Yuan Li's soul.

The situation suddenly became one against three. Although Zhang Lei was very skilled in Taoism, he was no match for the three of them.

Zhang Lei knew that everything was a foregone conclusion at this point. He glanced at us who had lost our combat effectiveness, picked up the sword from the ground, and killed them directly!

He went there with the intention of destroying himself along with the enemy. I wanted to stop him but I couldn't.

"Back off!" an old voice came.

An extremely abundant righteous energy shot directly towards the soul-devouring monster from a distance.

I looked over there and saw that the person coming was the old man who tested me that day.

The Soul Eater was knocked back by his attack and was obviously injured.

He was clearly walking very slowly, but he soon arrived in front of us. Seeing him coming, Zhang Lei excitedly said, "Master Miaohua!"

The old man's name turned out to be Miaohua.

When the three soul-eating monsters saw another person coming, they did not give up the attack. They used their big claws to bite Zhang Lei again.

With Yuan Li's previous experience, Zhang Lei reacted extremely quickly and used his sword to hold the big claw.

Uncle Miaohua used the Bagua mirror in his hand to directly cut off the pair of large claws.

Without its claws, its fighting power was at least halved. The three of them sensed danger and began to retreat.

However, two more people came out from behind them and formed a triangle with Master Miaohua.

They cooperated very well. The three Bagua mirrors formed a triangular formation. The three rays of light quickly shrank and tied up the three soul-eating monsters.

No matter how the soul-eating monster struggled, it was of no avail. Seeing this, I knew it was over, so I released the souls of Sister Ma and Yuan Li.

Upon seeing this, the three men directly guided the souls of the two men into their bodies.

However, Yuanli and Sister Ma were injured by the soul-eating monster, their cultivation was damaged, and they were still in a coma for a while.

After the three of them completely captured the Soul-Eating Monster, several people from the Xuan Detective Bureau came running over.

The leader was Liu Danchen.

When he saw me sitting on the ground and that the three deacons had finished their work, he suddenly laughed.

"Why are you always so embarrassed?" he said.

"You come and try. If I didn't have the Feather Stone in my hand, what you would see now would be my corpse!" I said weakly.

He helped me up and said, "Hurry up and get some rest. I have a mission in a while and I need your help!"

I gave him a look of contempt. I was in such a state now, and he actually wanted me to help him!

The Soul Eater incident was over, but it had caused quite a stir in Shi City. The most obvious feeling was that haunted incidents had increased in number. When we were hunting ghosts, so many escaped, so there was bound to be a small number left behind.

I didn't expect that my Fuyuantang's business would become so popular. Many people have encountered ghosts during this period. After the first person bought the magic tool from Fuyuantang and it worked, word spread quickly and many people came to me to buy the magic tools.

What’s even more exaggerated is that some people actually say that I am the reincarnation of a god and can cure all diseases.

I couldn't help laughing or crying when I heard these rumors. Three people make a tiger, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they become.

However, the reputation of my Fuyuantang has finally spread. Before, it was only circulated among Sister Rui's circle of friends, but now many ordinary people also know the name of Fuyuantang. After so much hard work, we finally gained a foothold in Shi City.

Sister Ma and Yuan Li have recovered much better after being treated by the seniors from the Xuanzhen Bureau.

The mission Liu Danchen told me about was that he would go to Sichuan. This was not a matter for the Xuanzhen Bureau, but was entrusted by his master.

"Why don't you let Erma go with you? Her home is in Sichuan!" I said.

"Erma is currently dealing with another matter with the eldest senior brother, so how can I call him?" Liu Danchen said.

"Then just call me, there are so many people in Tianshi Mansion!" I said.

"This is a long story. That person was a friend that my master met when he was traveling in Sichuan. It's a private matter, and I'm embarrassed to tell my fellow disciples in Tianshi Mansion. You know, after all, we joined Tianshi Mansion later, so our relationship is not that close." Liu Danchen said.

When I heard that he was Master Zhang’s old friend, I didn’t refuse. In fact, I was just teasing him verbally and didn’t really mean to refuse.

I haven't been to Sichuan for a long time, so I'd like to take this opportunity to go and have a look.

Liu Danchen bought me the tickets, and we took the green train. Yes, it was the oldest train now, the same one I first took more than ten years ago.

This kind of train is extremely slow and it took us twenty-seven or twenty-eight hours to arrive.

I basically slept on the berth during the entire journey on the train, and would get off and walk around if the train stopped for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you when I'm done with this." said Liu Danchen.

"What are you treating me to? Beef jerky?" I teased him.

He smiled when he heard what I said, and we both recalled the days when we fought side by side. Thinking about it, I found that whenever I worked with him, it seemed to be quite dangerous in the end. I hope it will be easier this time!
