Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 79 White Brocade
Lu Zheng and his companion successfully reached the higher-level caves of Jiguana Mountain.

As for those monsters and ghosts, Lu Zheng did not choose to take action.

The passages here are too closed. Any unusual noise will be heard far away, and corpses are difficult to hide.

Lu Zheng thought that it wouldn't be too late to deal with these little demons and ghosts after he dealt with Bai Jin.

After Lu Zheng and his group walked away, a guarding demon muttered, "Why do I smell human scent on them?"

Another demon said, "It must be a demon in painted skin..."

Jiguana Mountain is occasionally visited by demons and ghosts, some of which wear painted skins and hide their true forms.

So when they saw Lu Zheng and the other man just now, they were not surprised, but were just curious about their identities and origins.

"Hey, I thought you had cultivated into a human form like the king, but... you're still showing off in front of us." The demon couldn't help but curl his lips.

……

As we go up, the passage becomes wider and wider.

From above, the faint sound of stringed instruments and singing could be heard.

Lu Zheng raised his head slightly and saw a vast cave above him.

Outside the cave entrance stood two wolf demons wearing armor and holding spears.

Judging from the aura it exudes, it should be a monster that has reached the second level.

The two wolf demons quickly discovered Lu Zheng and his group, and stared at them with their green eyes.

The rat demon's heart trembled, and he quickly repeated what he had just said, stating his purpose.

Upon hearing this, a wolf demon whispered, "Wait here. I'll go ask the king for instructions!"

After saying that, the wolf demon went into the cave.

After a while, the wolf demon hurried back and said, "The king wants to see you. Come with me."

Lu Zheng and An Jing looked at each other, then suddenly attacked.

But in the blink of an eye, two wolves and one rat were killed on the spot without even making a noise.

Lu Zheng dragged the body to a hidden place nearby.

Since we all want to see the real culprit, there is no need to leave these monsters alive.

Then, the two of them climbed up the stairs and went to the cave where Bai Jin was.

All I saw was a cave house transformed from a karst cave, built magnificently.

There is a long crack on the top of the cave, which allows sunlight to shine through and illuminate the cave.

A man in white was sitting on a jade chair.

The man has a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, and looks like a weak young man from a wealthy family.

In front of Bai Jin, there were several human-like rabbit girls and cat girls singing and dancing.

Bai Jin held a pot of wine and sipped it slowly.

It tilted its head slightly and looked at Lu Zheng and An Jing who were coming, its eyes narrowed slightly and flashed with a strange light.

For some reason, Bai Jin had a feeling that the visitor had ill intentions.

"Are you the guests introduced by Qinglin?" Bai Jin asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

Lu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I am a scholar from Kaiyang County. I have come here to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits. I also want to ask you something."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence in the place.

The banshees all stopped moving and stood there, not daring to sing or dance anymore.

Even the monster playing the music stopped.

Bai Jin's eyes narrowed as he stared at Lu Zheng and the other man carefully.

After a while, Bai Jin smiled faintly and said, "A scholar and a warrior dare to come here to slay demons and exorcise ghosts. You really don't know how to live or die."

It didn't know where these two human cultivators of the second level got the confidence to say such things in front of it.

Lu Zheng slowly drew the long sword from his waist, its cold light gleaming brightly. "Scholars should wield swords, severing the injustices of the world, eliminating evil and upholding justice."

Bai Jin chuckled softly, "It's rare to find someone as courageous as you among those talented scholars... You said you had something to ask me, what was it?"

Bai Jin didn't think that Lu Zheng could take its life, but it was very curious about what Lu Zheng wanted to ask.

Lu Zheng said, "Someone is trying to trade the Gathering Sun Pearl with you. Who is that person? Where does he live?"

Bai Jin was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Lu Zheng to ask about such a thing.

It thought for a moment and said slowly, "There is indeed such a person, but I don't know his origins. Every time he comes, he wears a cloak and a painted skin, so I can't see his true appearance... You want to find him? How do you know him?"

"If there are demons and ghosts collecting Yang energy, we naturally have to get to the bottom of it." Lu Zheng said.

Bai Jin heard this and said, "It seems that one of my men has been eliminated by you?"

"You deserve it." Lu Zheng said calmly, "You really don't know about that person?"

Bai Jin tapped the armrest with his fingers and chuckled, "I do know some clues, but why should I tell you? Anyway, you can't leave here."

After saying that, Bai Jin slowly stood up, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing this, the female demons nearby all moved aside.

An Jing also kept some distance. The two of them had already agreed that she only needed to stay on the side to guard against other monsters and ghosts, while Lu Zheng would deal with Bai Jin.

An Jing was just wanting to see how capable Lu Zheng was, so he was naturally happy about this.

Lu Zheng raised his hand and took out a "Swordsman" treasure to activate it.

Suddenly, a powerful force entered his body and his whole aura changed.

Lu Zheng's eyes were extremely sharp, the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and sword energy was inhaled and exhaled, making a buzzing sound.

But in a blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed from a Confucian and Taoist scholar into a swordsman.

The next moment, Lu Zheng flashed and pointed his sword at Bai Jin.

"Ok?"

Bai Jin raised his eyebrows, clearly feeling that the aura emitted by Lu Zheng was extremely pure, even the demonic aura nearby had dissipated.

Bai Jin dodged nimbly to the side and raised his hand to strike out with a palm.

A tremendous demonic energy gushed out, transforming into a large gray-black palm print, bombarding Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng reacted quickly, raising his hand and holding his sword to block in front of him.

When the righteous energy and the evil energy collided, green smoke suddenly rose.

Although the demonic energy did not enter his body, Lu Zheng was under tremendous force and had to take several steps back before he could finally stop.

Bai Jin was surprised. It had used only 10% of its strength in that palm strike, and ordinary second-level warriors couldn't take it, but Lu Zheng was unharmed.

Lu Zheng took a deep breath, calmed his breathing, and took out another cultural treasure and placed it on the sword.

A strong man is angry and heroic.

I wish I had the sword of heaven so I could cross the sea and kill the whale.

The two lines of poetry carried a vast murderous aura, which infused into Lu Zheng and the sword.

In an instant, the long sword flashed with cold light, and the sharp and mighty sword energy surged.

Bai Jin's eyes focused, and he actually felt that danger was approaching.

Lu Zheng suddenly swung his sword, and the majestic sword energy spread out and swept forward.

Like a surging wave, it is powerful and unstoppable.

The entire cave was suddenly filled with mighty sword energy.

Those female demons with less powerful skills were the first to be unable to resist, their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they died.

Bai Jin hurriedly released his demonic energy to resist, but he was still approached by the intertwined sword energy. His clothes were cut into pieces, his carefully groomed hair was disheveled, and he looked in a miserable state.

Strands of righteous energy attacked its body, causing Bai Jin to feel waves of burning pain.
