Chu Yuqi was furious. The reason these people were targeting her must be because Ruan Mingzhuo said something!
It's outrageous! How could they twist the truth and treat their savior like this?
"Ruan Mingzhuo, say something!"
Mingzhuo looked away from the statue above his head and casually said, "Whatever makes you happy."
She doesn't have time to argue with Chu Yuqi about these things right now.
Master Qinglian put away his bronze sword and walked over, his expression slightly solemn.
"Did that evil cultivator escape?" Chu Yuqi shifted her attention.
Master Qinglian nodded, then shook his head.
Chu Yuqi felt she understood; it was probably because Daoist Qinglian had failed to capture the evil cultivator and was losing face.
"Rest assured, Daoist Master, even if that evil cultivator escapes, it's alright. The most important thing today is to deal with that fortune-changing immortal. Look, I've already killed that evil spirit."
As for that evil cultivator, a warrant will suffice within the Xuanmen (Taoist sects), and he will be caught sooner or later.
With the evil spirits dealt with, the life of the eldest son of the Xu family was completely saved, and they could finally give an explanation to the Xu family.
As for the person who framed them, that can be left to the Xu family to investigate themselves; it's beyond the scope of what people in the Xuanmen sect can do.
Master Qinglian paused for a moment, first praising Chu Yuqi twice, then changed the subject.
“I still feel something is wrong. The divination I did before coming here clearly indicated that there was good fortune amidst bad luck. But now it seems that things are going too smoothly.”
Chu Yuqi smiled and said, "It's only right that you're cautious, Daoist Master. Why don't we check again to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net?"
He was somewhat displeased. What did Master Qinglian mean by this? He had dealt with an evil cultivator, yet the cultivator had escaped. He had successfully killed the evil spirit, but it felt too easy.
Could it be that someone as outstanding as the other party is merely a fame-seeker who can't stand seeing younger generations being more outstanding than them?
Or is he trying to steal the credit?
Chu Yuqi remained expressionless and walked behind the statue.
The compass in her hand moved slightly, but she didn't notice and casually glanced up at it.
That one glance sent a chill down her spine, freezing her in place.
Li Wenhe also walked over, but there was no surprise on his face. "It really is a two-faced statue."
He turned on the flashlight on his phone and shone it. The statue on the back was exactly the same as the one in front. The only difference was that this statue was more exquisite.
It makes the statue in front look like a crudely made fake.
Master Qinglian calculated with his fingers and shook his head, "This is just an empty shell of a deity."
Chu Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "That's good, it seems there are no more evil spirits here."
"What's so good about it? Evil spirits have quietly descended from the statue. We don't know if they're hiding in the shadows or among us. That's where the real trouble is," Mingzhuo suddenly said.
He Wangyao and Du Fenglang had already tied up the seven or eight assistants they had knocked down, as she had instructed.
They also asked that flashy-watch uncle to help distribute amulets to everyone.
Master Qinglian gave her an approving look: "You've thought this through very well. These people are close to evil spirits and are most easily possessed. It's safer to tie them up."
As he spoke, he walked over, holding a bronze sword, and cautiously observed his surroundings.
Those holding the amulets couldn't help but tense up, huddling together.
After handing out the amulets, the flashy-looking uncle walked up to Mingzhuo and said, "Master, I don't want to be possessed by evil spirits! Could you sell me some other amulets? I don't think the free ones are safe!"
Mingzhuo: "What's free?"
The man with the flashy watch blinked: "Those talismans you just gave me."
The other party pulled out a large stack of talismans in a flash, and he guessed that these talismans would at most serve as a psychological comfort.
Ming Zhuo: "...When did I say my talismans were free? They're worth 100,000 each! Li Wenhe, remember to collect the debt later!"
The person who had originally intended to quietly throw away the amulet immediately clutched it tightly upon hearing this.
One hundred thousand! That's so expensive! It must be effective!
Chu Yuqi was so angry that she felt dizzy. She only sold amulets for 10,000 each. Ming Zhuo was taking advantage of her misfortune, asking for an exorbitant amount, and was insatiably greedy!
Why is Master Qinglian praising such a person? Can't he see that the other party is deliberately trying to win people's hearts?
The compass in her hand moved again, but she still couldn't see it.
At that moment, Mingzhuo suddenly threw out an exorcism talisman. The air moved slightly, and a shadow gradually appeared.
The thing was very close to Chu Yuqi, and the stench it was spewing from its mouth almost made Chu Yuqi faint.
It was a monster with a human head and an animal body, covered with countless eyes, and upon closer inspection, all of those eyes could move!
When Chu Yuqi met those eyes, her mind went blank for a moment.
Even though subconsciously you know it's dangerous and you need to take action as soon as possible, your body subconsciously wants to surrender, to kneel down, and to sacrifice everything you have.
A strange, delirious voice echoed in her mind, "You mortals, why don't you kneel before the gods?"
Chu Yuqi was stunned. Yes, this is clearly a god!
She knelt down with a thud.
Master Qinglian realized something was wrong; this thing was also good at bewitching people!
"Quickly close your eyes, and whatever you do, don't look into that thing!" Master Qinglian instructed, then drew his sword and charged forward.
He was anxious; he had been careless after all. He shouldn't have let Chu Yuqi go with that middle-aged Taoist priest.
