This led one key figure after another to Deer Flower Town!
It was as if everything was preordained.
However, this is also a very good opportunity...
Other ideas came to Su Feng's mind.
It goes without saying how terrifying the power of the five demonic spirits within the Five Demon Gu is; once they are born, they will inevitably unleash a bloodbath.
Even he himself wasn't confident enough to eliminate the five demon spirits.
But as the saying goes, risk is linked to return.
The stronger the opponent, the greater the benefits of defeating them.
He hadn't been able to fully absorb the magic bead he obtained after dealing with the Nine-Life Evil Infant; its magic power was unfathomable!
Now there are five! A full five times more!
He probably knew how to calculate this even with his eyes closed.
They traveled thousands of miles from Renjia Town to Luhua Town, all for this powerful yet uncontrollable force!
Therefore, he was determined to obtain the Five Demon Spirits!
"What is it that makes Fellow Daoist Su laugh?" Qinghai glanced at Su Feng, somewhat surprised.
Everything he just said about the White Lotus Sect is true and important!
If not handled properly, it could lead to a major disaster!
At that time, millions of lives will likely be lost at the hands of the Five Demon Spirits!
Yet, faced with such terror, Su Feng actually smiled...
This puzzled him greatly.
Some even felt a chill run down their spines...
"Ahem..." Su Feng snapped out of his reverie, suppressing the smile that had unconsciously crept onto his face. "In short, I understand Fellow Daoist Qinghai's concerns..."
"This matter is indeed not to be underestimated and must be handled with caution."
Qinghai pursed his lips and nodded. "I noticed just now that there seems to be a trace of demonic energy remaining on Commander Xu. I'm worried that he might be hiding the Five Demon Gu."
Commander Xu was notorious for his greed, and he often led his men to dig up graves in search of treasure.
Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for Qinghai to have this idea.
Su Feng shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
"In short, if Fellow Daoist Su is willing to lend me a hand, that would be wonderful!" Qinghai stood up and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Su Feng. "I know this request is somewhat unreasonable..."
"But now that the Five Demon Gu has appeared in the world, the White Lotus Sect is starting to stir again. This matter has far-reaching implications, and I am afraid that I alone cannot turn the tide. I hope Fellow Daoist Su can help me."
They had only just met and known each other for less than an hour.
But Qinghai was truly at a loss. In terms of ability, he was not academically proficient, and his knowledge of the spells taught by his master was only superficial.
It might be somewhat effective against ordinary demons and monsters, but now that he was facing the Five Demon Gu, he had absolutely no chance of success!
Upon seeing Su Feng just now, he realized that this young man in front of him was exceptionally capable and must be a hidden master!
If we can get their help, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, giving us hope of turning the tide!
Faced with Qinghai's request, Su Feng smiled and nodded in agreement.
“This matter is indeed of great importance, and I certainly cannot stand idly by. Very well, let me lend a helping hand to Fellow Daoist Qinghai.”
Even if he's alone, he absolutely cannot miss out on the matter of the Five Demon Gu.
Now we have Qinghai as a helper. Although they may seem unreliable, they are at least in the same industry and can be of great help.
“However…” Su Feng suddenly thought of something and raised an eyebrow meaningfully, “Right now, the most urgent matter is still dealing with the zombies in Deer Flower Town. Fellow Daoist Qinghai, you haven’t forgotten, have you?”
"That's for sure; eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path is also my duty."
No matter how small the matter, it should not be neglected. If the suddenly appearing zombies are not eliminated, they can also cause casualties.
"Then let's set off now, Fellow Daoist Su, and resolve this matter as soon as possible!"
Qinghai quickly said hello, then picked up his sword from beside his seat and hurriedly left the restaurant.
The waiter at the door thought someone was trying to dine and dash and started shouting from a distance.
Surprisingly, Qinghai, who seems carefree and frivolous, is quite decisive and efficient when it comes to important matters.
"Things are getting more and more interesting." Su Feng smiled, took out two silver dollars and threw them on the counter, then left the restaurant with Jiang Dalong.
……
Anne spent the whole day at the Marshal's mansion, doing nothing and not knowing what to do.
Watching the servants of the Marshal's Mansion bustling about, decorating the wedding venue with lanterns and colorful decorations, she wanted to help, but was worried that she would cause trouble.
There was nothing I could do but wander around the backyard quietly, sitting by the pond watching the fish swim freely.
The words Su Feng said to her last night still echoed in her ears, warming her heart.
If her father, Wang Sanyang, were to meet with misfortune, she would be left with no one to rely on in this world, utterly alone.
If it weren't for Su Feng's encouragement and comfort, she probably would have become depressed and given up on herself.
"Ok?"
Just then, Anne's gaze inadvertently drifted toward the backyard fence.
"Isn't that Butler Li?"
She saw Butler Li tiptoe in through the back door and was about to get up to greet him when she noticed that there was another person following behind him.
The man was wearing a black cloak, which concealed his appearance, making him look quite strange in broad daylight.
The two walked towards Commander Xu's room, one after the other.
Anne held her breath, cautiously peeking from inside the pavilion, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Who is that person?"
She tilted her head, but couldn't figure out the answer no matter what she did.
……
"Master... Daoist Longhai has arrived."
Butler Li gently pushed open the door and greeted the guests.
"You go out first."
Xu Dashuai sat in the room with a solemn expression. He waved his hand to send Butler Li away, and then stared intently at Long Hai who had entered.
Once the door was closed, Commander Xu hurriedly stepped forward, forcing a smile and awkwardly rubbing his hands.
"Master, I'm so sorry to trouble you again!"
"Hmm... I heard about it from the butler."
A somber voice came from beneath the cloak.
"This..." Commander Xu hesitated, unsure of how to begin.
After learning about the Five Demon Gu from Wang Sanyang, he did not report it to Daoist Longhai, but instead suppressed the news on his own.
Now that the truth has come out, he has no choice but to send Longhai to deal with it, which is giving him a huge headache.
"It's...it's about..."
"About the Five Demon Gu, right?" Long Hai remained standing in the same spot, his voice completely flat.
Commander Xu was somewhat surprised, "So the Taoist priest knew all along?"
"Heh, these Five Demon Gu are indeed ominous objects, but their value is also far beyond that of ordinary treasures. However, I am only responsible for pointing out the location of the treasure to the commander-in-chief, and I have not agreed to clean up the mess."
This has always been their cooperative relationship.
Every time Commander Xu unearthed a treasure with Longhai's help, he would take a portion of the proceeds from the sale.
To put it bluntly, their relationship was purely transactional; there was no special connection whatsoever, and everything revolved around money.
"This matter is probably quite troublesome!" Commander Xu said sincerely, abandoning his usual tough stance. "Jiang Dalong, who has been visiting the manor these past few days, has been accompanied by a young man. He seems to have noticed this matter..."
"Wang Sanyang, who was appraising treasures some time ago, died because of the Five Demon Gu. He is now very likely to have become a zombie. If that young man finds him first, we're doomed!"
It's not impossible to hand this over to my subordinates, but right now we're not dealing with a living person, but a living dead person!
They would have no experience dealing with zombies.
It should still be left to professionals.
After much thought, only Master Longhai is the most suitable.
"As long as the Taoist priest agrees to help me get rid of that zombie, I'll give you an extra 10% when the Five Demon Gu is sold!"
Commander Xu said frankly.
At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else; he was willing to spend any amount of money as long as he could solve this problem.
After waiting for a while, we heard a sound coming from ahead.
"It's a word."
With just four simple words, when Commander Xu looked up again, Long Hai was nowhere to be seen, only the door remained open.
"what--"
He clutched his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and slumped into a chair.
Every time he met with Daoist Longhai, he was filled with unease, as if something was tightly choking him, making it hard to breathe.
That's the aura of a strong person!
In the years I've known Master Longhai, I've never dared to cross the line and inquire about his background... Apart from knowing that he is a Taoist priest with high magical power and profound cultivation, I know nothing else.
The strength they demonstrated certainly justified the price offered by Daoist Longhai.
The wealth I have accumulated today is all thanks to Master Longhai.
"I just hope this time we can turn danger into safety... I guess it's better to lose money to avoid disaster."
