Boss Zhu had a face full of urgency and sincerity, promising a hefty reward, "As long as you can help , money is not an issue. I’ve worked so hard and finally have two sons at my old age. If I can’t keep them safe, the Zhu family will end..."
Isn’t having a corpse that brings prosperity enough to turn the ho into a major ominous pattern?
The best way is to drive the monster out, but Boss Zhu might not listen, so we can only take a roundabout approach.
"No rush, Boss Zhu, I also want to buy sothing from Baoxian Hall," I said slowly. "After you take to the headquarters of Baoxian Hall, I will certainly reveal everything."
Boss Zhu was anxious and seed unaware of the threat in my words.
Still, he didn’t get angry and directly agreed, "That’s easy, I’ll drive over to pick you up tomorrow morning and introduce you."
"Alright." I agreed imdiately.
Boss Zhu called his family driver to take from the villa.
As we neared, one of the streets was lined with food stalls.
The aroma of barbecue and stir-fry dishes filled the entire street.
The area was brightly lit, bustling with foodies indulging in late-night snacks.
With the car unable to drive further in, I had to get off ahead of ti.
After passing the night market street, I needed to enter the residential area.
I had to go deep into the alley, about twenty or thirty ters long, with only one light.
Dim and secluded.
As I walked in, there wasn’t a single person in the alley.
But soon, I caught the sll of alcohol.
A heavily drunk person followed behind , likely spotting from the night market and purposely tailing all the way.
Using the Golden Lotus Seven Star Step, I could easily shake off this person.
My footing was light, with a steady Taoist Heart.
Clearly, I could condense a Golden Lotus in an instant, but it had only just begun forming when it failed, dissolving and shattering.
Startled, I looked up at the sky.
Sohow, dark clouds had obscured the moon.
The alley was filled with a terrifying evil energy, and I could feel that drunken person inching closer.
Running was futile; my body was too heavy to outrun the follower.
By a twist of fate, today of all days was the Qingming Festival.
Both hot and stuffy, with especially rampant Yin energy and evil energy.
At night, it was a chaotic dance of demons.
I couldn’t help but recall an ancient poem, ’During Qingming, the rain drizzles and people on the road mourn.’
Though there was no rain, I truly felt a sense of soul-loss.
It was just bad luck that I chose to walk at night now.
I pulled out the flower hairpin, ready to respond at any mont, but felt unsure inside.
The person following was full of evil energy, yet he was an ordinary person.
The flower hairpin was almost useless against ordinary people, and I had no strength to engage in a physical fight.
Using the heavenly fire would be too cruel.
The Three Souls and Seven Spirits would be burned to ashes.
What to do!!
Damn it!!
Finally, I was near the end of the alley.
Ahead was the spot where nearby residents liked to relax, brightly lit, and buzzing with people.
Yet I didn’t rejoice prematurely, knowing the follower ant harm. He was definitely up to sothing.
He wouldn’t let leave the alley...
Sure enough, the footsteps behind accelerated, and the sll of alcohol wafted over.
I quickened my pace, but his speed was even faster, seemingly reaching my back in no ti.
The evil energy mixed with alcohol overwheld , sending chills down my spine. I could feel his sinister gaze locked on without even turning around.
Clutching the flower hairpin in my palm, if he really tried sothing on ,
I would have to use heavenly fire, but killing soone’s soul might incur trendous karma...
Suddenly, a man’s muffled groan reached my ears.
Then ca the loud thud of a heavy object hitting the ground!
I jumped in fright, but my ntal resilience had improved sowhat.
Instead of succumbing to fear, I imdiately turned around.
What I saw was a man lying face-up on the ground, struck by a Wolf Fang Club on his face.
The club’s tal spikes had pierced his brow and left eye, blood flowing from his forehead and eye, with a sharp Triangular Knife next to him.
Wasn’t this the drunkard who said he lived next door during the day?? Was he the one tailing ??
What was he trying to do??
"It hurts~ it hurts!"
The man cried out in pain, losing all combat ability and mobility.
This technique was crisp and efficient.
Directly blinding the man’s eye.
Could soone... be secretly protecting ?
I imdiately looked deeper into the alley, catching a glimpse of a tall figure in a light gray jacket, whose silhouette seed all too familiar!!
