Chapter 91: A Major Event
How did it turn out like this? I was really just saying it casually!
Watching the black smoke being devoured by the Ghost Messengers, Xiang Jiannan felt a bad premonition. The man lying on the ground was probably going to suffer as well. As if not satisfied, some of the Ghost Messengers were already getting restless, occasionally looking back at the Prefectural City God.
“This kind of person is useless to keep in the world.”
After examining the seal, seemingly very satisfied, the Prefectural City God then let Xiang Jiannan know what cruelty was. With his seemingly indifferent words, dozens of black shadows instantly became extremely excited.
They swarmed forward, quickly engulfing the thin youth lying on the ground.
“No!”
Completely not expecting the Prefectural City God to do this, at the same time he finished speaking, Xiang Jiannan immediately spoke up from the side. It was too ruthless. Where was the gentle temperament he was supposed to have? How could he let his Ghost Messengers devour a living person?!
This kind of thing was only heard in novels. It was just stealing something, it shouldn’t be that serious.
The old saying goes that Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. As a City God, shouldn’t he follow the way of Heaven?
Devouring a living person, I can’t stand it!
“Taoist, are you going to teach Master City God how to do things?”
Seeing Xiang Jiannan trying to reach out to stop them, the Bearded Ghost Messenger held his Judge’s Brush horizontally, his tone unkind:
“If it weren’t for your carelessness, how would things have fallen into this situation? How dare you question Master City God’s decision?”
“Get out of the way!”
At this time, he was in no mood to listen to the Bearded Ghost Messenger’s lecture. Ignited by his words, the urgency in Xiang Jiannan’s heart instantly turned into anger. It was his fault for losing the seal, but why was this guy so slow and not concerned about saving people? He could tolerate being lectured for so long before, but not this time.
After dodging, he avoided the Bearded Ghost Messenger’s Judge’s Brush. After a few steps, he wanted to disperse the Ghost Messengers in front.
He made a mistake once, he can’t make it again!
“Impudent!”
Just as Xiang Jiannan used his green Qi to scatter a few Ghost Messengers, the Bearded Ghost Messenger, who failed to stop him, became furious. He held the brush in his left hand, leaned forward, and bent down to grab the Little Taoist.
This Taoist actually dared to harm Ghost Messengers in front of him and Master City God. He simply didn’t take them seriously.
“You guys really bite!”
Just as the Bearded Ghost Messenger was about to grab Xiang Jiannan, the thin youth lying on the ground, who had been harassed by the Ghost Messengers for a long time, suddenly spoke. With a wronged wave of his arm, the Ghost Messengers biting him were all sent flying.
Getting up from the ground, he looked at Xiang Jiannan who wanted to pull him up. His clothes were already tattered:
“It would have been better to act sooner. This Young Master really couldn’t stand it anymore. Taoist, remember that next time.”
“Who are you!”
Because of the thin youth’s sudden awakening, the Bearded Ghost Messenger hurriedly retracted his arm and immediately became furious. He felt like he had been tricked. This Little Taoist seemed to be setting up a trap for him and Master City God.
Not knowing the truth of the matter, after saying this, he turned his head to look at the Prefectural City God.
“Your grandpa’s, stop yelling in front of this Young Master. What’s so great about being a ghost? Bah!”
Completely disdaining the Bearded Ghost Messenger’s rough voice, the thin youth adjusted his clothes as he spoke:
“You can’t even bite through, yet you keep biting. No wonder you all look so foolish.”
“Taoist, step aside, watch this Young Master’s skills!”
Raising his hand and muttering to himself, the thin youth completely ignored the reactions of the surrounding Ghost Messengers. After his lips moved quickly a few times, Xiang Jiannan saw the seal in the Prefectural City God’s hand gradually turn red.
The light was not very obvious when it first appeared, but it startled the Prefectural City God into letting go of it. But it was too late. After touching the ground, the originally black and white seal seemed to have been burned red. As the red light it emitted gradually deepened in color, the Prefectural City God, who had finally reacted, shouted “Not good!” and his figure turned into a golden light, instantly fleeing towards the location of the City God Temple.
Following closely behind was the Bearded Ghost Messenger. After he left, those Ghost Messengers who still wanted to approach the thin youth were not so lucky. They were successively pulled to the ground, touching the red light, and instantly turned into pools of thick liquid.
“Follow me!”
Seeing that the major event was accomplished, the thin youth grabbed Xiang Jiannan’s Taoist robe with one hand and dragged him out of the alley in a hurry. Not long after the two left the alley entrance, a crisp sound of glass shattering came from afar, followed by a shaking of the ground. Red, eye-piercing thin lines slowly extended from the location of the alley.
The time was very short. After spreading out in a net-like pattern, they gradually disappeared into the depths of the ground.
“Where are you taking me?”
Being dragged by the thin youth, Xiang Jiannan stumbled along. After the two had been out of the battlefield for a long time, he finally broke free. He was just delivering a seal, why did it turn out like this? Xiang Jiannan now just wanted to go back to the inn.
“Taking you out of the city. After causing such a big mess, it’s natural to escape first.”
Stopping to say a sentence to Xiang Jiannan, the thin youth was even a little out of breath:
“The people from the Fu Mo Si will be here soon. If we don’t hurry up and run, we’ll both end up in jail!”
His words showed great confidence in his own speed. After speaking, he pulled Xiang Jiannan to continue on the road.
“Let go, why should I trust you?”
Despite the thin youth’s repeated insistence, Xiang Jiannan was not willing to run away with him.
Suddenly, he felt like there was no one in the city he could trust. His thoughts were now a complete mess.
Didn’t Master say that there would be benefits after delivering the seal? Is this what he meant by benefits? Despicable and shameless old Taoist, you deserve to never get a wife!
“It’s a long story, let’s get out of the city first, and I’ll tell you the details later. We can’t talk about these things in jail.”
Ignoring Xiang Jiannan, who was walking quickly ahead, the thin youth didn’t even turn his head this time:
“Everything your master asked me to do has been done. Whether you want to follow or not is up to you.”
“The Fu Mo Si’s jail isn’t a good place to be.”
“Now you can tell me, right?”
With the help of the thin youth, they managed to get out of the city. Only when the Prefecture looked like a distant phantom did Xiang Jiannan stop and ask again.
Flying over the city wall was so simple. He had never tried it before. Controlling Qi, he exerted force under his feet and did it. Although this thin youth had helped him a lot.
“This Young Master’s name is Song Erle. Later, you continue to go west. Don’t stop until dawn.”
As if to say goodbye to Xiang Jiannan here, Song Erle stopped and said to the Little Taoist:
“Today, we accomplished a major event. After going back, we’ll be waiting for unrest.”
“What major event?”
Not expecting Song Erle to still be speaking in riddles with him after leaving the city, Xiang Jiannan was not willing to let him off easily:
“You said you would tell me after we left the city!”
“Of course not, this Young Master is not that kind of person.”
Smiling at Xiang Jiannan, Song Erle proudly pointed in the direction of the Prefecture:
“That Prefectural City God will definitely not let this go. If you don’t leave quickly, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on for long.”
“This time, by using his Ghost Messengers to undo the seal, that Chen Family Son is going to become a major force.”
