"Who...who are you? Why have you kidnapped me?"

Even if you lose the argument, you can't lose your temper. The Taoist priest looked at Ying San and questioned him loudly. Ying San was the only one here who seemed to be in charge, and he didn't take Jing Le seriously at all.

Ying San remained silent despite being questioned like this, only looking at Jing Le.

Do you know any people on Earth?

Jing Le broke the awkward silence, which also brought the Taoist back to his senses. He looked at the ground in response to Jing Le's words.

The familiar figure came into view, and a bad feeling immediately arose in my heart.

She wondered to herself: What's the young master of the Xu family doing here? Shouldn't he be in the bridal chamber? Could it be...?

He dared not think too much about what might be wrong, and just secretly gasped.

His hands clenched tightly at his sides, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead along with the undried water droplets.

"How could I not recognize him? He's the young master of the Xu family. Why are you asking this?"

The Taoist priest did consider escaping, but when he thought about how the other party had managed to kidnap him without his knowledge, he realized that the other party must be stronger than him.

So he gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

Where did you meet him? What benefits did he promise you?

Jing Le was naturally referring to the clone inside Young Master Xu's body. He asked this question because he was worried that the Taoist priest might find other clones in the place where the clone was located.

"I...I don't know..."

Think it through before you speak.

Jing Le waved his hand, unleashing a sharp sword aura that grazed the Taoist's cheek.

"I'll talk, I'll talk."

Looking at the few strands of hair floating in mid-air, how could he dare to underestimate Jing Le at this moment? He immediately obediently recounted the place where he encountered the clone.

It turns out that this Taoist priest had long been expelled from the Taoist community, so he had been living as a wandering, unorthodox Taoist priest ever since.

He has some skills, but not many, and because of his greed, he often cheats people, making him infamous.

So he would often go to the next place after he had scammed enough people in one place.

He encountered the demon's clone in the wilderness of the previous town, where there was a dilapidated temple. He went inside to take shelter from the rain and found a jade pendant under the broken statue.

He initially thought someone had fished it out, and planned to pick it up and pawn it in the next town for money. Unexpectedly, his own blood dripped into the jade pendant, and he signed a contract with it.

The demon clone was hidden inside the jade pendant.

His clone taught him some skills, and he helped his clone find a suitable body to resurrect—it was that simple.

The next town is where we are now, and coincidentally, there's a fool there too.

In order to facilitate his marriage later on, the Taoist priest infiltrated a Taoist temple outside the provincial capital, and the rest of the story unfolded naturally.

"A dilapidated temple?"

After listening to the Taoist priest's words, Jing Le stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"I've told you everything I need to say, can you let me go now?"

A wise man submits to circumstances, the Taoist priest asked cautiously, fearing that Jing Le would kill him.

Jing Le glanced at the dense bloodthirsty aura emanating from the other person, which was caused by the deaths of people. He figured it must be one of the seventeen brides, since he was also an accomplice.

Then, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled and said, "You can go now."

"real?!"

Seeing that Jing Le didn't really intend to deal with him, the Taoist priest immediately pushed open the door and ran out.

What he didn't realize was that Jing Le casually cast a spell as he left.

Is it really okay to let him off like this?

Ying Liu rubbed his nose in confusion, then asked curiously, "Master, what were you filming just now?"

He could see the fluctuations in spiritual energy.

"That's a karmic curse. If he kills someone, then at night the soul of the person he killed will come to take revenge on him. And he won't die immediately. Of course, if he can survive forty-nine days, he might still live."

Jing Le smiled like a little devil, but her words made Ying Shan and the others' hair stand on end.

The souls of the murdered seeking revenge are simply haunted by ghosts, aren't they?

We still have to endure forty-nine days; maybe we'll survive. It's truly a matter of chance.

Afterwards, Jing Le had someone secretly send the young master of the Xu family back to the Xu residence, and left some silver for the bride. Then he drove the carriage to the place the Taoist priest had mentioned.

What they didn't know was that a strange thing had happened at the Xu residence early that morning.

The daughter-in-law, who was originally supposed to marry the mentally challenged man to bring him good luck, suddenly disappeared. And the mentally challenged man not only failed to regain his senses, but became even more mentally challenged.

I heard that he even called the young maid "mother" and said he wanted to nurse, etc.

The runaway bride also heard the news. Fearing that she would be discovered and taken back, she simply took the silver Jing Le gave her and left the city.

Two days later, a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city attracted the attention of a group of people, including Jing Le and his companions.

"This is it."

Jing Le jumped off the carriage, looked at the dilapidated temple in front of him, and then flipped his wrist, and the sensing bead appeared out of thin air.

The bead, which had been silent, now emitted faint glimmers of light again.

Although very weak, Jinle still managed to discover it.

"Let's go, there are more clones inside."

Jing Le waved his hand and stepped into the temple first, followed closely by the others.

The temple was truly dilapidated; several of the roof beams were broken, and half of the Buddha statues were shattered. However, only the altar area could still provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Presumably, that Taoist priest discovered the jade pendant while hiding here.

Jing Le held the sensor bead and circled the Buddha statue, finally discovering something amiss at the spot where the statue had collapsed.

"You all move aside."

After Jing Le finished speaking, he raised his hand, gathered spiritual power, and struck the ground directly beneath the Buddha statue.
