I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Do you think you're so great?" Jia Ying sneered.

Qin Yao raised his hand and summoned chains of laws, which bloomed like flowering trees in his palm: "Do you know what this is?"

"Baby?" Jiayou asked eagerly.

Qin Yao smiled slightly, and the chains of law flew swiftly toward the two demons, binding them tightly before they could react, imprisoning them in place.

"Oh no, a sneak attack!"

Jia Ying shouted at the top of his lungs, desperately trying to mobilize the demonic energy within his body, but he couldn't budge the chains binding him even slightly.

But to everyone's surprise, a beam of white light suddenly pierced through the mountain wall, transforming into a white immortal sword that, like a dragon, broke through the shackles of the two demons.

Qin Yao's gaze narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to form a seal, suppressing the attack.

The white immortal sword and the two sea monsters were thus immobilized on the spot. However, the immortal sword trembled, hummed, and resisted, while the two monsters were deprived of even the ability to blink.

"Mo Niang, go get the holy water and go back to the village to save people."

Sensing the increasingly powerful resistance of the immortal sword, Qin Yao increased the intensity of his attack.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Moniang immediately ran to the lotus stone platform, grabbed the large red gourd in her hand, and asked, "Lord Wu, can you hold on?"

Qin Yao chuckled and said, "I can handle it. You go first, I'll be there in a bit."

Lin Moniang nodded heavily and rushed out of the cave with the lightness of a treading stone.

After watching her leave, Qin Yao slowly suppressed his smile and said, "Well Immortal, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, two golden beams suddenly broke through the wall and struck Jia Ying and Jia You directly on the head.

The two demons didn't see any golden light at all. They only felt a sharp pain in their heads, their vision went black, and then they fainted and lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Qin Yao simply released the magic seal, letting the two demons collapse to the ground. Then he saw a white-clad figure arrive in a flash of light, raising his hand to grasp the radiant immortal sword.

"Why don't you understand? Even without you, Mo Niang can still obtain the holy water; or do you not trust her abilities?" Barefoot Immortal asked solemnly as he removed the immortal sword with his bare hands.

Qin Yao responded, "I also believe that, but time is more important."

The result of her completing this task in two hours is completely different from the result of completing it in a day and a night.

To put it bluntly, could that girl infected with the plague afford to wait? Did she really have to use human lives to become the sea god's ascension steps?

The Barefoot Immortal remained silent for a long time before sighing softly, "Without you, it's very important to me!"

Qin Yao couldn't help but chuckle: "You've finally faced your own inner thoughts, instead of using morality as a weapon to intimidate others."

The Barefoot Immortal silently gripped his immortal sword, and the sword's light suddenly surged. He thrust out the sword, dazzling and bright, illuminating the entire cave with white light.

Qin Yao activated his Heavenly Eye and easily captured the trajectory of the Immortal Sword. He raised his hand to form a seal, and a dimensional gate sparkling with fire appeared out of thin air, opening right in front of the Immortal Sword.

And behind that door was none other than the Dragon Palace of the East Sea!

The Barefoot Immortal quickly withdrew his power, but the enormous sword light still rushed into the Dragon Palace, piercing through the walls with overwhelming force and heading towards a coral palace.

Inside the palace, Ya Zi was talking to Consort Bang on the bed when, for no reason, the hair on his body stood on end, and a chill ran through him. He immediately picked up his beloved consort and rolled off onto the dragon bed.

The next moment, the sword energy split the dragon bed in two, and then easily tore apart the wall in front of the bed.

On the ground, Ya Zi, who was watching this scene, was so frightened that he almost wet himself, and the clam concubine in his arms was trembling all over.

They were just a hair's breadth away from being torn apart by the sword energy.

Inside the Demon Island.

in the cave.

Qin Yao abruptly closed the dimensional gate, smiling as he looked at the Barefoot Immortal: "Great Immortal, have you ever heard the story of 'a favor done in kind must be repaid, and a grudge must be avenged'? If Ya Zi had found out, you would have almost killed him..."

"You're threatening me!" Barefoot Immortal interrupted abruptly.

"This is not a threat, but another chance for you."

Qin Yao said, "You think you've been tolerating me time and time again, but in fact, I've been tolerating you too."

Otherwise, how could you possibly say in my ear that once is enough, twice is enough, but not a third time?
Furthermore, you don't understand, the reason I didn't target you wasn't because you're so remarkable or something I feared.

It's simply because I don't want to offend the Heavenly Court, and I don't want to offend Guanyin.

Feeling deeply humiliated, the Barefoot Immortal twisted his wrist and charged forward with his sword.

He didn't believe that his opponent could use such bizarre methods in close combat!
Meizhou Island.

In the wilderness.

Wang held the weak and frail Guihua in her arms and fed her spoonfuls of porridge.

As Guihua gazed at Wang Shi, whose face held a loving motherly expression, tears suddenly streamed down her face.

"What's wrong? Are you thinking about your family again?" Wang asked gently.

"Seeing you reminds me of my mother," Guihua replied softly.

"Poor child," Wang sighed, then said, "Don't worry, Lord Wu and Mo Niang will definitely retrieve the holy water..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Moniang's voice came from afar: "The holy water is here! The holy water is here!"

Wang was overjoyed: "See, I was right."

In the blink of an eye, when Lin Moniang arrived in front of Guihua with the gourd, the fishermen who had received the news rushed over and watched as Guihua drank the holy water, her face quickly returning to a rosy glow from her sickly appearance.

"It's so amazing!" Lu Zigui murmured.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Now we don't have to burn the osmanthus flowers, right?"

Lu Zigui was somewhat embarrassed: "Since the people are alright, there's no need to burn them. However, the bodies on that boat absolutely cannot be left alive; they must be burned to ashes as soon as possible!"

Lin Yuan nodded, then suddenly asked Lin Moniang, "Moniang, where is Lord Wu?"

"Lord Wu is currently fighting the sea monsters on Demon Island. He's worried that the plague might spread to our Meizhou Island, so he sent me back with the holy water first," Lin Moniang replied.

"Is Lord Wu a match for the sea monster?" Lu Zigui asked with concern.

“The siren is no match for him!” Lin Moniang said with absolute certainty.

"How can you be so sure?" Yang Shengquan asked sourly.

Lin Moniang: "..."

She didn't know why she was so sure, but she inexplicably believed that a mere sea monster could not possibly harm Lord Wu in the slightest.

"Lord Wu risked his life fighting the sea monster for our sake, and I think we must do something too!" an old fisherman shouted from the crowd.

"We can fight ordinary people, but what can we use to fight a siren?"
"What if we go to the Demon Island and make things worse, becoming a burden to Lord Wu instead?" a young man said with a worried expression.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, and he called out, "Let's go to the Guanyin Temple and ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to protect Lord Wu. Everyone knows about my wife and Shengquan's mother seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva appear, which proves that the Guanyin Temple on our island is indeed efficacious."

"it is good."

"Let's go, let's go quickly and pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Everyone echoed this sentiment and rushed toward the Guanyin Temple on the island.

“Auntie, let’s go too,” Guihua said hopefully. “I also want to pray for Lord Wu.”

“Let’s go together!” Wang said decisively.

In the blink of an eye, almost all the fishermen on the island flocked to the Guanyin Temple, but the temple couldn't accommodate them all, so it was packed with people, three or four layers deep.

Inside the hall, the Lin family and the Lu family stood in the center, kneeling together before the statue of Guanyin, praying for Guanyin's blessing on Magistrate Wu. After they knelt down, the surrounding figures followed suit, kneeling and kowtowing, until soon no one was left standing.

Before long, the rising incense smoke from the temple carried everyone's voices all the way to the South China Sea, resounding like a great bell to Guanyin's ears.

Guanyin was surprised that an official could gain such popularity, but since she had received offerings, she could not ignore it. So she left the island and instantly appeared in the Guanyin Temple on Meizhou Island, where the statue transformed into the true form of Guanyin.

"The Bodhisattva has appeared! The Bodhisattva has appeared!"

As they kowtowed, many people noticed this scene and cried out in alarm.

Therefore, everyone raised their heads and looked at the statue together, their weathered faces filled with piety.

"I understand your request. I will now go to the Demon Island to take a look," Guanyin said slowly.

"Thank you, Bodhisattva." The fishermen were filled with gratitude and bowed deeply in worship.

Guanyin smiled slightly, glanced one last time at Lin Moniang in the crowd below, and then vanished in a flash of light.

After a while.

The image of Guanyin appeared above the Demon Island. Looking around, one could see that the entire surface of the Demon Island had been smashed and was in complete disarray.

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, please save me!"

Suddenly, a shout came from underwater.

Guanyin looked surprised, followed the sound and fell into the water, sinking continuously until she soon discovered the Barefoot Immortal bound to an island in the sea by countless chains...

"Great Immortal, what's wrong with you...?"

"It's a long story," sighed the barefoot immortal, his face covered in dust.

He knew that the man surnamed Wu was somewhat skilled, but he never expected that the other party would be even stronger than himself.

He was a Great Immortal, yet he was suppressed by an unknown nobody. How absurd!
Guanyin silently opened her divine eye, searching for the source of the chains' power, and found a golden talisman pasted on the middle of the mountain wall, with the six-syllable mantra written on it—Om Mani Padme Hum.

For a moment, her expression was priceless!
"What's wrong, Bodhisattva? Even you can't break the seal?" Seeing that she didn't move, the Barefoot Immortal asked tentatively in a low voice.

"That's not it."

Guanyin shook her head, slowly walked to the golden talisman, raised her slender hand, and gently peeled it off.

In an instant, all the chains binding the Barefoot Immortal vanished, and this veteran Grandmaster of Immortals finally regained his freedom...

"Please, Bodhisattva, come with me to subdue that scoundrel." The Barefoot Immortal slowly rose into the air and gradually approached Guanyin's side.

Guanyin remained noncommittal, simply handing the golden talisman to the other person: "Take a look at the back."

The Barefoot Immortal was slightly taken aback. He took the golden talisman and looked down. He saw two lines of text written on the back: "Our aspirations are the same, why are we so eager to fight each other?"
"Tell me the whole story, but don't let your emotions get in the way," Guanyin said softly as he stood there, stunned.

at the same time.

Qin Yao had already flown back to Meizhou Island. After discovering that the fishing village was empty, he scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately saw the island's fishermen inside the Guanyin Temple.

After a moment's thought, he did not go to the Guanyin Temple to recall the people, but instead went to the government office alone, quietly waiting for Guanyin's attitude towards the matter and towards him.

half an hour.

Guanyin Temple.

Having understood the cause and effect, Guanyin led the Barefoot Immortal to the sky above the temple and pointed to the fishermen below, saying, "Do you know why they are gathered here at this moment?"

The Barefoot Immortal pursed his lips: "Could it be that you're begging me to save Magistrate Wu?"

"Yes!"

Guanyin nodded: "But they didn't expect that I failed to save Magistrate Wu, but saved you, who was opposing him."

Barefoot Immortal: "..."

"You should wait here for now."

While she was silent, Guanyin transformed into light and descended into the temple, reappearing on the altar.

"Bodhisattva, is Lord Wu alright?" Lin Yuan asked hurriedly upon seeing her.

Guanyin smiled and said, "County Magistrate Wu is proficient in mystical arts. Let alone sea demons, even a true dragon might not be his match. Why would he need me to rescue him? In fact, he had already left when I arrived at the Demon Island. He's probably home by now."

"Is Magistrate Wu really that capable?" Countless fishermen were shocked.

Only Lin Moniang smiled and said, "I told you long ago, the sea monster is no match for Magistrate Wu!"

Guanyin smiled and waved her hand: "Go back, he might be waiting for you..."

Shortly after.

at dusk.

Countless fishermen, like a sea of ​​people, quickly arrived in front of the Meizhou Island government office.

Inside the government office, Qin Yao, hearing the commotion, opened the door to greet the guests, smiling and bowing, "Thank you all for praying for me."

“We’re not stupid. We know perfectly well who’s good to us,” Lu Zigui replied with a smile.

Qin Yao then asked, "Did you see the Bodhisattva? What did the Bodhisattva say?"

"The Bodhisattva only said that you are proficient in esoteric arts and do not need her help, and said nothing else," Lin Yuan said.

Qin Yao immediately realized that he had entered the other party's observation period.

Regarding this variable, the attitude and approach to take will have to wait until the observation period ends before a decision can be made.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir."

Suddenly, Guihua rushed out from the crowd and knelt down in front of the steps of the government office.

Qin Yao raised his hand to help him up: "Get up, get up. Meeting is fate, and how could I stand by and watch someone die?"

Guihua refused to get up, saying only, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I, Guihua, am willing to be your slave to repay this kindness."

Qin Yao: "..."

This isn't going to happen.

How could the chief steward of the Mazu Water Palace be my servant?
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "I never seek any reward for saving people, so please do not mention my servant's words again."

"Osmanthus, from now on, live for yourself, do whatever you want."

"Your Excellency is truly virtuous," Lu Zigui said from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Yuan also expressed his admiration: "If all the officials in the world could be like you, my Great Song Dynasty would surely usher in a golden age."

Qin Yao waved his hand: "Stop with the flattery. You have something very important to do."

"Is there anything else?" a fisherman asked.

“That ship full of corpses must be dealt with as soon as possible,” Qin Yao replied.

Lean less.

Coastside.

The raging fire engulfed the dilapidated fishing boat. Guihua knelt on the beach, wailing and crying, her clothes soaked with tears.

Madam Wang sighed softly and turned to say, "Master, she is a good child. Why don't we take her in?"

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Alright, I'll listen to Madam..." (End of Chapter)
