The waiter's words caused Xue Kong to pause his raised right foot, which he then gently lowered. His eyes flashed as he muttered to himself, "Xue San... is he a real person, or is he just using my name to scam people?"
Originally, Xue Kong was not interested in this matter, but now he felt a little curious and wanted to see the identity of this so-called devil.
After entering the restaurant, Xue Kong found an empty seat in the corner and sat down. This restaurant was truly extraordinary, with luxurious decorations. There were four beams made of fine mahogany, which were too big for one person to hug. There were golden dragon patterns on them, which was extremely magnificent.
There are no less than a hundred guest tables in the lobby alone.
Before Xue Kong could continue his scan, a waiter with a white scarf draped over his shoulder quickly stepped forward, his signature smile on his face, and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Just three side dishes and a pot of osmanthus wine." Xue Kong had been fasting for over ten years and had not eaten any grains. However, it was not good to just sit there in the restaurant, so he ordered some food.
As the waiter was about to leave, Xue Kong stopped him and asked, "I heard that a demon cultivator often visits your place. Is he here today?"
"Hush." The waiter turned pale with fear when he heard Xue Kong's words. He immediately leaned over and said, "Sir, please speak softly. The devil is upstairs. Don't let him hear us, otherwise you and I will both suffer an unprovoked disaster."
"Go ahead." Xue Kong smiled slightly and didn't take the waiter's words to heart.
With his current strength, unless Master Guanglin successfully forms a baby and comes out of seclusion, he will be above everyone else in Jingwu Kingdom. Even the King of Jingwu Kingdom, Xue Kong, will not take him seriously.
After the waiter left, Xue Kong released his spiritual sense and scanned the upstairs.
Upstairs were guest rooms. In one of the rooms, there were two figures, a man and a woman. At this moment, the man was lying on top of the woman, and the woman was making waves of pouting, "You bastard, be gentler. That old man is right next door. Be careful he might hear you."
The man chuckled and said, "Listen, listen. It would be great if he heard it. That would be exciting."
The woman patted his shoulder shyly, and the two of them went back to their happy life.
In the next room, a figure was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The person was covered in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes showing from the head. Those eyes were like ghost eyes, emitting a faint green light.
This person had a sinister aura about him, and there was a bamboo stick with a ghost head stuck on the floor beside his bed.
At first glance, this person is undoubtedly a demon cultivator.
Opposite this person, there was a sixty-year-old man standing there with a nervous expression, his body hunched over and a servile look on his face. He was holding a storage bag in his hand.
"Give it to me." The man in black robe slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the old man indifferently, and his voice was extremely cold.
The old man shuddered upon hearing this and quickly handed over the storage bag in his hand.
The man in black robes didn't even open the storage bag to check. He believed the old man's courage wouldn't allow him to lie, so he nodded with satisfaction. "Hand over this month's offering. If anyone comes to your restaurant to cause trouble, I will help you solve the problem."
The old man gave a bitter laugh and thought to himself, "There has never been any trouble in my restaurant. If you don't come, then everything will be peaceful for me."
But he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he could only nod obediently.
The man in black robe put away the storage bag, then got off the bed. When he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in place.
The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in panic, "Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
The man in black robe turned around and stared at the old man with ghostly eyes. The old man felt scared when he was stared at by him, but he thought to himself that he had not done anything wrong.
While the old man was lost in thought, the man in black robe spoke coldly, "You've been filial to me for over two years, and I haven't helped you once in those two years. Even if you don't say it, I'm afraid you have some resentment in your heart."
The old man didn't show his inner thoughts on his face. Under the pressure of the other party, he had no choice but to surrender and said, "I dare not."
The black-robed man then spoke again: "Well, today I will rid you of this evil."
The old man was shocked.
Before he could prepare himself mentally, he saw the man in black robe raise the ghost-head bamboo stick in his hand and hit the wall next to the bed. The wall collapsed with a bang and a big hole was punched in it.
On the other side of the big hole was a bed in another room. On the bed, a man and a woman were having sex, overlapping each other and making low obscene sounds.
"Ah!" The two were startled by the sudden collapse of the wall and screamed.
The old man couldn't recognize the two people through the quilt, but their screams made him feel familiar. His face changed again and again, and he raised his head to look. At this time, the voice of the man in black robe came softly: "These two are your concubine and servant."
"What!?" The old man's expression changed drastically, his eyes bloodshot. He pointed at the two people huddled in fear under the quilt on the bed and roared, "I provide you two with food and drink, and you have no worries about food and clothing, and you dare treat me like this!"
"Master, please spare me. It's all his fault. He forced me to do this. Please spare me." The woman begged for mercy while crying, her voice full of coquettishness and regret.
"You!" The man was choked for a moment and couldn't find words to refute.
The old man couldn't bear to hear the woman's screams, and was about to punish the man when the man in black robe suddenly snorted coldly, and the ghost-head bamboo stick was heavily inserted into the floor. A soul covered in black mist flew out and went straight to the adulterer and adulteress.
In an instant, the adulterous couple were struck by the soul, their expressions were distorted and terrified, their heads tilted, and they died on the spot.
"There's no need to linger over these two." The man in black robe said lightly, then without stopping, he turned and left the room.
The old man looked at the horrific corpse of the woman with pity in his eyes. In fact, he was planning to spare the woman's life. Although he was betrayed, he was still willing to indulge in this gentle life.
But now that things have come to this, there is nothing he can do. He can't seek revenge on the man in black.
"Alas, you have ended up like this today, all because of your fickleness and shamelessness." The old man shook his head slightly, then turned around and chased after the man in black robe.
In the lobby downstairs, Xue Kong's spiritual sense took in the entire scene. His spiritual sense was so powerful that not only did the old man not notice it, but the man in black robe also didn't notice anything.
In his consciousness, the black-robed man's appearance was revealed, and Xue Kong recognized him at once: "So it was him... He had once offered a price for the Foundation Establishment Pill in Guanglan City, Li Zizai from the Hundred Beasts Valley."
"I didn't expect his appearance to have changed so much over the years. I remember him being very muscular back then, but now he's become thinner and has even learned some magic skills. However, he has reached the foundation-building stage as he wished."
That person was Li Zizai.
He had not only seen Xue Kong at the auction.
Moreover, on the Demon Island, he saw Xue Kong's heroic figure killing everyone in his way. From then on, he knew that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Xue Kong. He became disheartened and planned to leave the Demon Island.
Before this, he accidentally got a secret book of magic skills. After practicing hard, his cultivation level actually broke through to the initial stage of foundation building. However, this magic skill harmed both himself and others. Although it allowed him to break through, it also caused his appearance to change drastically.
His body is extremely weak and his spiritual energy has seriously overflowed. He has to absorb spiritual stones every day to stay alive.
