Xu Si's expression immediately became very strange.
"Is this guy going to get revenge on Master Lu?"
Is this idiot really going to his death?
This is no way to court death!
As the official North China region head of Nadutong, am I, Xu Si, just going to stand by and watch?
Xu Si slammed his hand on the table, drawing the attention of all the company employees in the office.
Lu Xuan has always been ruthless... no, Master Lu has always been steadfast in his Daoist heart and decisive in his actions.
Those Quanxing members who died at his hands were mostly left with no intact corpses. If he hadn't intervened, this fake Taoist priest would probably have died a very gruesome death as well.
How could he just sit idly by and watch Lu Xuan kill him?
As an employee of the company and the head of the North China region, Xu Si absolutely could not and would not stand idly by and watch this happen.
Xu Si immediately made a decision befitting his status and addressed the employees who suddenly stood up in the office.
"Clear the area; don't let ordinary people see it."
"Deploy manpower to minimize the impact."
"Call the cleaning staff to prepare to wash the floor."
At the same time, I wondered to myself, what kind of brave person is so reckless as to go and die?
Do you think you can beat Master Lu?
How will you know if you can win if you don't try?
"You ruined my chance, I'll take your life!"
The sky was about to break through the dawn, but it was not yet light.
Zhao Guizhen stood outside Yongle Palace dressed in a Taoist robe, his plain clothes almost completely hidden in the darkness.
Looking at the Yongle Palace in front of him, Zhao Guizhen's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
What kind of wild Taoist priest came from? How dare he ruin my plans?
Since escaping from Maoshan, he has been hiding and practicing various evil forbidden techniques that even the wild Maoshan sect would disdain.
He was on the verge of success when a random Taoist priest from who-knows-where ruined his plans.
How despicable! How hateful!
And that damned old woman, why didn't she obediently let her grandson drink the talisman water?
They actually ended up at Yongle Palace, and just happened to run into a meddlesome little Taoist priest who even killed the little ghost they had raised.
Zhao Guizhen originally intended to target that family again, but just as he was about to make his move, he discovered that he seemed to be being watched by the people from All-Knowing.
Left with no other choice, Zhao Guizhen had to prepare to flee.
After all, if this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will.
Not long ago, an organization that claimed to teach all people without discrimination and to embrace all things contacted me.
Once I escape Shanxi and get rid of Na Du Tong's pursuit, I can go and join that organization.
Although Zhao Guizhen didn't believe in the organization's brain-dead slogans and ideals at all, at least he could find a new place to stay.
However, before that, the wild Taoist priest who dared to kill the little ghost he raised must pay the price.
"You dare to disrupt my destiny? Today I will take your life!"
Zhao Guizhen's eyes were filled with coldness.
He had already found out that the Taoist priest was a nobody, but since he could stay at Yongle Palace, he must have a proper lineage.
But so what? What respectable Taoist priest would go around telling fortunes for money?
Perhaps they are wild Taoist priests who, like myself, escaped from the mountain gate or were expelled.
Plus, he's so young, he probably doesn't have much ability.
Today, I'll use your life to make up for my loss.
Zhao Guizhen's eyes were cold, Zhou Shen's murderous aura surged, and then...
They quietly bypassed the surveillance cameras and scaled the wall to enter Yongle Palace.
After all, Yongle Palace still has a lineage of extraordinary individuals; we should sneak in quietly, without making a big fuss.
Yongle Palace is so big, I wonder if I'll be able to run into it...
Zhao Guizhen was suddenly stunned as he saw a young Taoist priest carrying a bag and a sword walk out of the main hall.
It's not even dawn yet! Who's up so early?
Zhao Guizhen narrowed his eyes.
Thinking that he was also wearing a Taoist robe, he immediately put on a kind and serious expression.
"Junior brother, do you know where the young Taoist priest who's been telling fortunes at the temple these past few days is?"
Then, the young Taoist priest who had just stepped out of the temple looked puzzled.
"What do you want from me?"
Lu Xuan, who had just stepped out of the palace gate, asked: "?"
Having already packed his luggage and prepared to travel (fortune telling) along the road to Longhu Mountain, Lu Xuan frowned upon seeing Zhao Guizhen, who was clearly not a Taoist priest from Yongle Palace.
That familiar, malevolent aura...
I was originally planning to go out and finish dealing with this matter before leaving, but I didn't expect this person to come to my door.
Lu Xuan's smile gradually softened.
Zhao Guizhen suddenly felt a chill.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: What's this lump called again?
"Junior brother, we are complete strangers. You have ruined my opportunity. Do you know that the enmity of those who obstruct the path is one of eternal enmity?"
Zhao Guizhen's words were utterly shameless, yet he still maintained a sanctimonious facade.
In reality, a malevolent aura surged from his body, and sinister-looking faces quietly emerged beneath his clothes.
He was already prepared to launch a sneak attack.
"Complete strangers?"
Lu Xuan's expression was strange: "You don't even know who I am?"
His name has spread like wildfire in the world of supernatural beings; his face is now widely known, if not universally recognized.
Don't you ever read the Yiren Forum?
At least do a background check before showing up at their door!
"Are you perhaps a descendant of some Taoist temple?"
Zhao Guizhen's face was cold and gloomy. He had already prepared his Qi to the extreme, ready to strike with lightning speed at any moment.
Even if you are the heir of a powerful family, it's useless; if you ruin your plans, you'll only die!
"Never mind, there's nothing more to say to you."
Lu Xuan shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards Zhao Guizhen.
"You must be the one who drives evil spirits to harm people, right?"
"What do you mean by harming people? Do you want to criticize me like those old fogies?"
As Lu Xuan walked step by step into his attack range, Zhao Guizhen stopped pretending and roared maniacally.
"This world is inherently a world of the strong."
"Cultivation and meditation are not as effective as devouring souls and refining spirits. The only way is to become stronger and become a powerful being."
Do you know how much I sacrificed? How much effort I put in?
"I will climb to the top step by step."
Seeing that Lu Xuan was less than five steps away, Zhao Guizhen's bulging muscles suddenly shattered his robes.
His body was now covered with several faces formed from evil spirits, each expressing different emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all radiating a malevolent aura.
The next moment, these evil spirits broke free from their restraints and rushed out of Zhao Guizhen's body.
Six evil spirits, each with a different face, opened their mouths and lunged at Lu Xuan.
At the same time, Zhao Guizhen threw several talismans out with his backhand.
The talismans that Zhao Guizhen threw out were even more different.
Some of the talismans exuded a sinister aura, transforming into five distinct humanoid shadows in the air.
Some of the talismans fell to the ground and transformed into silver snake-like threads that wrapped around Lu Xuan's feet.
Some talismans emit special fluctuations, accompanied by ghostly sounds that bewitch the mind.
When Zhao Guizhen makes a move, it's a decisive, all-out attack.
After all, this is Yongle Palace. Although I haven't heard of any famous extraordinary people here, it is a renowned lineage.
If we get bogged down, we might not be able to kill this young Taoist priest.
He was confident that, under the circumstances of a sneak attack, no one could escape his attack; it was a certain death.
"You little beast, how dare you lecture me?"
"Confident that Lu Xuan is doomed," Zhao Guizhen roared, his eyes bloodshot and slightly manic.
"Do you know what I've sacrificed for all of this? Do you know how hard I've worked?"
"No one has the right to lecture me. I'll prove them wrong one day..."
Zhao Guizhen seemed to have triggered some strange pleasure point, and started babbling on and on.
Lu Xuan: "?"
