Capítulo 754: Chapter 736: We Must Trick Her into Going to the Temple

Sanyuan felt that he was about to meet his demise right here. The ghostly hand that was clutching his throat tightened more and more, the air in his chest and lungs dwindling, his face turning purplish, his eyes rolling upwards showing whites.

In the eyes of everyone accompanying Princess Rong’an, he was merely clasping his own neck, his body hovering in mid-air.

Yet this sight was even more chilling.

Princess Rong’an, pale with fright, wished she could faint on the spot, yet there her foolish daughter stood, eyes filled with infatuation, foolishly calling out Zhou Lang’s name.

The old Taoist, his face twisted in pain, struggled to his feet, took out his Compass, his eyes showing reluctance, yet he resolutely hurled it at the Evil Ghost: “Divine weapon of the world, essence of the Eight Diagrams, may golden light emerge swiftly, shield and protect the altar, exterminate the evil!”

When the Compass struck the Evil Ghost, a faint golden light appeared. With a piercing scream, the ghost was forced to release Sanyuan to guard itself with its hands.

Crack.

The Compass fell to the ground, splitting into two halves.

The old Taoist spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes showing some sadness; his most important meal ticket was finally gone.

“Sanyuan, run!”

The Evil Ghost snorted in anger: “You’ve wounded me and still want to run? No one can escape.”

Gloomy ghost energy swept towards Sanyuan, wrapping him and spinning him into the air, before slamming him down with a thud.

“Sanyuan!” The old Taoist was in utter panic.

This was truly the end, they were all done for.

Sanyuan thought the same, if only he had known, he would’ve let the old man have a good drink before setting out.

He calmly awaited the pain, but after a long wait, he felt nothing. Had that ghost flung him that high up?

Opening his eyes, Sanyuan saw a handsome but somewhat cold-faced person.

Where did this pretty boy pop out from?

Qin Liuxi’s hand, which had grasped the front of his shirt, loosened.

Thump.

Sanyuan fell to the ground. Landing on a pavement of pebbles, he grimaced in pain and couldn’t help glaring at her angrily.

The courtyard grew quiet, all eyes on the youth who had fallen from the sky. What happened? They had been calling for help to no avail, as if something had blocked them out. Where had this person come from?

Qin Liuxi turned and faced the Evil Ghost, frowning as she looked over its attire, a sense of déjà vu bubbling to the surface.

Where had she seen such an outfit before? She raised her hands mimicking the ghost’s pose and said, “This is the attire of Black Mountain Grandmother, without a doubt. Where is Xiao Qian?”

The Evil Ghost: “?”

Qin Liuxi suddenly broke through its barrier of ghost energy and barged into the courtyard. The ghost’s complexion drastically changed, its entire body screaming to flee immediately, lest all the absorbed yin yuan and hard-earned cultivation be in vain.

The presence emanating from this individual was terrifying enough to make it want to kneel.

But what was this person saying? What were Black Mountain Grandmother and Xiao Qian?

The old Taoist quietly crept over, dragging Sanyuan to one side, his eyes gleaming as he watched Qin Liuxi.

Incredible! This person radiated a light of righteousness. He must lure her back to his Daoist Temple. If she joined, how could the Dragon Tiger Temple not thrive?

This person would definitely help bring fame and glory to the Dragon Tiger Temple!

Qin Liuxi, oblivious to the lecherous old Taoist’s covetous thoughts, simply glanced sidelong at the Evil Ghost and said, “Why haven’t you spouted your Evil Ghost Circle’s provocative slogan?”

She felt reluctant to attack without being asked to drive away the evil, as no one requested her aid.

The Evil Ghost: Is this one an idiot?

Gaining some courage, it shouted arrogantly: “Who’s the moron that popped out to meddle in others’ business!”

“That’s not it, you should say nosy Taoist,” Qin Liuxi charged forward, her smile wicked as she countered: “But what can you do if it pleases me?”

What?

The Evil Ghost watched as she pulled a Heavenly Pearl from her neck and hurled it straight at it, howling.

With a pitiful and mournful scream, the Evil Ghost’s soul body was shattered in an instant, whooshing away from in front of Qin Liuxi, crashing haphazardly into the small building where it cultivated its soul.

Good heavens, that was the aura of Emperor Fengdu, how could his bead be with her, could she be the Great Emperor’s illegitimate child?

How could such an Evil God appear here?

Emperor Fengdu: Shut up, who would commit such a sin and give birth to such a depraved thing!

Both the old Taoist and Sanyuan had golden light flickering in their eyes, with a single move, she had caused the Evil Ghost to flee.

Impressive, very impressive!

Master and disciple exchanged glances, each showing a look of determination in their eyes; they must deceive… no, invite her to the Daoist Temple!

Lu Xun jumped down from the rooftop, saying, “Is it dead now?”

“No, it didn’t. It just scurried in there, cowering,” Qin Liuxi pointed to the small building.

Commandery Princess Rong’an watched them, forcing herself to stand with the support of her maid’s hand: “Who are you, and why have you burst into my manor?”

“Pleased to meet Commandery Princess Rong’an, my name is Lu Xun,” Lu Xun gave a bowing salute.

“Lu Xun?” Commandery Princess Rong’an repeated the name, her eyes widening: “You are the son of the Princess, the nephew of Mrs. Wei?”

“That’s right.”

So he came over from the Wei Family, Commandery Princess Rong’an then turned to look at Qin Liuxi, her eyes eager: “And who might this be?”

She couldn’t see the Evil Ghost, but after this person appeared, the courtyard became calm, and what’s the deal with those beads that chased the ghost away?

“This person is…”

“I am just a nosy, smelly Taoist,” Qin Liuxi interrupted him.

Commandery Princess Rong’an’s eyes lit up: “You are a Taoist too? So has that Evil Ghost been scattered to the winds?”

“Not yet, it’s hiding inside,” Qin Liuxi pointed at the small building.

Commandery Princess Rong’an’s face turned ashen: “Then why didn’t you scatter its soul to the winds?”

“Because some matters are best left alone.”

Isn’t this a contradiction?

Commandery Princess Rong’an frowned, with a look of unexpectedness on her face.

Lu Xun coughed lightly, addressing Commandery Princess Rong’an in a tactful manner: “Since you’ve already invited a Heavenly Master, it would be inappropriate for her to act without your invitation. After all, you didn’t invite her over, did you? She acted just now out of fear that the young fellow Taoist would be killed.”

Commandery Princess Rong’an snorted: “With how fearsome the Evil Ghost is, they wouldn’t have the ability to handle it; otherwise, the little Taoist wouldn’t have needed to come to their assistance.”

The old Taoist and Sanyuan were deeply ashamed, and even more determined to lure Qin Liuxi to the Daoist Temple.

With her, there would be hope to transform and revitalize the temple!

Seeing she didn’t understand, Lu Xun reminded her again: “It all depends on the Commandery Princess’s sincerity.”

Commandery Princess Rong’an got the message and stepped forward to Qin Liuxi: “As long as the little Taoist can exterminate that Evil Ghost, the Commandery Princess will be most grateful.”

Qin Liuxi glanced at her without saying a word, then looked at Miss Mu, who was continually struggling in the hands of the servant, trying to break free and rush into the house; she walked over and examined her.

Miss Mu looked emaciated, with dark circles under her eyes and a pale, lifeless complexion, but her eyes revealed a seductive charm, indicating that she was experienced in worldly matters.

Qin Liuxi took her wrist and felt her pulse: deficient Kidney Water, thin and rapid pulse, lacking in yin yuan, yet she was still a virgin.

“That Evil Ghost has been drawing from your yin yuan through dreams?” Qin Liuxi said with certainty.

Lu Xun was puzzled, what did that mean?

And Commandery Princess Rong’an’s head buzzed, nearly unable to stand.
