Chapter 619: Chapter 607: Get Lost, You Ugly Bastard!_3

The Marquis of Ancheng’s face was swollen from being slapped; he clutched his throat, coughing nonstop, and backed into the corner. His expression was one of terrified horror as he looked at the man and asked, “What did you feed me?”

“The Jiao Pearl, hand it over.” The Black Robed Man answered, seemingly off-topic.

The Marquis of Ancheng’s eyes widened in shock, “What Jiao Pearl? I don’t have it.”

Why is everyone looking for the Jiao Pearl from him? He hasn’t had it for a long time!

The Black Robed Man’s face darkened, these ants are so troublesome. It would be simpler to just Soul Search.

The Marquis of Ancheng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly said, “Really, I did have it before, but later on Lin Xiang took it away from me. Go find him. If I’m lying, may the heavens strike me down with lightning, no, may I not die a good death.”

Better Lin Xiang, that bastard, gets hassled than me!

The Black Robed Man watched his expression, which didn’t seem to be fake, and even as he swore his oath. He stared intently at him until sweat dripped down the Marquis’ forehead, then without a word, the Black Robed Man left. Making a wasted trip, what an inconsiderate host.

He, however, was different. As a guest, he did bring gifts – he flicked a wisp of yin energy over, no need for thanks.

The Marquis of Ancheng watched as the Black Robed Man disappeared into the night, scaring him so much he sat down with a thump. He was going to die, who was this ghostly figure? Hidden Guard, he needed to add ten more Hidden Guards to protect himself.

He shivered suddenly. Why was it so cold all of a sudden?

Clutching his stomach, the Marquis of Ancheng stumbled and lurched his way to the lavatory – his stomach hurt so badly. What on earth had that dog of a man made him eat? Call the Imperial Physician, get the Imperial Physician here.

Half an hour later, as Lin Xiang was writing in his study, he saw the Black Robed Man suddenly appear in the room. The mysterious and eerie aura caused Lin Xiang’s pupils to contract slightly, yet his expression remained unchanged. Placing down his Wolf Brush, he quickly said, “If you have come for the Jiao Pearl, I’m afraid it’s your bad luck, as the Jiao Pearl has already been taken by someone else. She said if someone came looking, to tell you she is Buqiu from Li City Qingping Temple.”

He clenched the Jade Talisman at his waist, pretending to be composed.

The Black Robed Man’s eyes narrowed: “!”

Again, a wasted trip. But to think it was she who took it?

Indeed, Chi Yuan once regressed his cultivation willingly in order to deal with the Master, and had to re-establish his Foundation. They must also be refining an elixir to ensure the success of Foundation Establishment.

The Black Robed Man was somewhat unhappy; for many years, he had wandered in search of the Jiao Pearl, and only through the Da Yan Divination Method did he learn that he could obtain his wish in Shengjing, which is why he had settled in Tang Mountain to wait for the right moment.

However, when the opportunity finally came, someone had beaten him to it, that very opponent he had recently clashed with in a magical duel. And she knew that he would come looking for the Jiao Pearl, which was truly amusing.

His fellow sect brother, could it be that their fate was so entwined?

Lin Xiang, seeing that the other party still wasn’t moving and maintaining silence, felt his heart tense up.

He didn’t know the identity of this person, but seeing how silently he had appeared before him, he must be a cultivator of the same sort as Qin Liuxi.

Has the Taoist Sect developed to such a mysterious and unpredictable level?

The Black Robed Man didn’t trouble Lin Xiang, since Lin was so cooperative. However, as he turned to leave, he still summoned a female ghost to hassle Prime Minister Lin for a bit – it really was unsatisfying to have come for nothing.

The female ghost approached tremblingly, then screamed and floated away, her soul body fading.

That bizarre, crazy Black Robed Daoist was terrifying, but the righteous Lin Xiang was equally fearsome. What’s more terrifying was that he was wearing a golden light talisman; she hadn’t even fully approached him before it shone so brightly that her soul form became half-faded.

Life as a ghost is too hard, better to be reincarnated!

Lin Xiang looked into the Void inexplicably and then glanced at the Jade Talisman he was wearing, feeling that it had dimmed slightly.

So, it wasn’t an illusion just now, was there some kind of filthy and cold thing trying to get close to him?

Thinking back to what Qin Liuxi had said when she gave him the Jade Talisman, Lin Xiang exhaled a long sigh, truly not a single strategy had been left unaccounted for.

Only, that Black Robed Daoist he had just seen didn’t seem like a cultivator of the Righteous Path, and he didn’t know if confronting him would lead to trouble.

A hint of worry now flickered across Lin Xiang’s brow.

Qin Liuxi was meditating in a room arranged by the village chief, running a Grand Circulation with crossed legs. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and leapt out.

As Teng Zhao followed her out, her trace was already gone, and he frowned.

With a few bounds, Qin Liuxi arrived at the secluded foothills and saw the shadow that merged with the darkness, her lips twitching, “Cloaked in all black—is this some dark arts play, or are you pretending to be a thousand-year-old zombie that can’t stand the light?”

“You’re just as I imagined, quite interesting,” the Black Robed Man seemed quite pleased, emerging from the shadows. Right then, the moon broke through the clouds, and a cold moonlight poured down.

He lifted his head, revealing a pale, bloodless face with a big cross drawn on it, and flesh curling at the edges.

Qin Liuxi got a clear look and her eyes widened. Just as the Black Robed Man was about to say something, she exclaimed with a ‘tut’ and stepped back, “Get away from me, you ugly fuck!”

The Black Robed Man: “!”
