This celestial master cultivates both physical and magical arts; why did you provoke him?

The incident occurred a month later.

The paranormal events in Jiangzhou City seem to have been accelerated, one after another, without stopping at all.

The evil cult is stirring in the shadows, and although the seven seals have been reinforced by Xia En.

But it's like sticking a few plasters on a leaky wall.

It works, but it doesn't last long.

Those things sealed and buried underground began to stir, occasionally making a commotion.

The lake monster of Qingshan Lake has reappeared, and this time there are three, not just one.

The well in the old town has started emitting eerie energy again, this time even stronger than before.

In the ruins of the chemical plant in the eastern suburbs, some people saw black shadows walking around in the middle of the night.

Although the Zombie King in the western suburbs cemetery was destroyed by Xia En's punch,

However, residents in the surrounding alleys began reporting seeing an elderly person dressed in funeral clothes knocking on their windows in the middle of the night.

Even the back hill of Jiangzhou University was the site of an incident.

Several students were hiking at night when they saw something white floating around in the woods. Terrified, they tumbled down the hillside and broke both their legs.

Chen Guodong's phone was ringing off the hook.

His men dared not go; even if they did, they wouldn't be able to solve the problem.

Every time I call Xia En, Xia En comes and always manages to solve the problem.

But every time he finished resolving the issue, he would say the same thing: "Remember to pay me."

Chen Guodong was always at a loss for words, but he always gave it to them anyway.

Because Shane is indeed worth the price.

Today's order is for those few white figures on the back hill of Jiangzhou University.

When Xia En arrived, it was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the shadows in the woods behind the mountain were dappled, making it look no different from an ordinary small hill.

But as soon as we entered the woods, the temperature dropped by ten degrees, the sunlight was shattered by the leaves, and the air was filled with a damp, musty smell.

Fang Zijian followed behind, wrapping his coat tighter around himself.

"Why is it so cold?"

"The yin energy here is too heavy."

Xia En said.

Liu Ruyan also arrived, wearing a windbreaker and a hat, clutching a talisman that Xia En had given her.

She wasn't supposed to come, but she said those students were her juniors, so she had to come and see them.

The three walked deep into the woods and stopped under an old locust tree.

That's the place where Xia En performed the ritual for that girl last time.

The tree trunk still bore traces of the talismans he had pasted, but the talisman paper was gone, replaced by several deep claw marks.

"It seems something has been here."

Xia En squatted down and touched the claw marks.

The claw marks were deep, cutting into the wood at least two inches deep, with clean edges. They didn't look like a tear; they looked more like something sharp had cut them open.

"What could leave such a mark?" Fang Zijian asked.

Xia En didn't answer, but stood up and looked around.

The woods were unusually quiet.

There were no birdsong, no insect chirping, not even the sound of wind.

All the sounds seemed to have been sucked away by something.

Then he saw it.

Deep in the woods, about fifty meters away, stood three white figures.

They are not ghosts. Ghosts are translucent and can see what's behind them.

These three shadows are physical entities.

It had pale skin, slender limbs, and a bald head with no facial features, only three huge mouths that stretched from the left ear to the right ear, filled with countless sharp teeth.

Fang Zijian gasped.

"What...what is this?"

"Ghoul."

Shane said, "It's a very low-level evil creature that feeds on corpses. But they usually only appear near cemeteries and won't come to places like this."

"Then why are they here?"

"Someone is raising them."

Xia En flexed his wrists. "Raising ghouls requires the flesh and blood of living people. The white shadows those students saw on the back mountain, exclusive! Gu Yudong's interview and behind-the-scenes of the creation of 'This Celestial Master Cultivates Both Material and Magical Arts, Why Did You Provoke Him?', limited to Cola Novels. It should be them. The one who broke his leg, he didn't fall down on his own, he was scared by them."

Liu Ruyan's face turned pale. "They...eat people?"

"We don't eat live animals. We only eat dead ones."

Shane took a step forward. "But they'll scare people to death, and then they'll eat them."

The three ghouls sensed his approach and turned around simultaneously. On their featureless faces, three enormous mouths opened at the same time, hissing as if in warning.

Xia En didn't stop.

The ghoul moved.

They were incredibly fast, and almost instantly pounced on Shane.

Six slender claws lashed out simultaneously, their nails as sharp as blades, piercing straight into Shane's throat, chest, and abdomen.

Then, the golden light exploded.

A layer of golden light burst forth from Xia En, like an invisible armor enveloping his entire body.

The sharp fingernails cut into the golden armor, making a metallic clanging sound and sending sparks flying.

But the golden armor remained completely still.

The ghouls' fingernails broke off, black liquid oozing from the broken ends. They screamed and retreated, clutching their severed fingers and trembling all over.

Fang Zijian's mouth dropped open.

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth.

They had seen Shane use lightning magic, they had seen him use talismans, and they had seen him use his fists.

But I've never seen this before.

This layer of golden light.

"Th-what is that?" Fang Zijian stammered.

Xia En looked down at the golden light emanating from his body. "Golden Body of Invincibility. A defensive spell."

"Defense spells? You can even use defense spells?"

"Of course. I'm a Taoist priest, and Taoist priests know a little bit about everything."

Fang Zijian's mouth twitched.

Can do a little bit of everything?

Is this what you call a little bit?

Those three ghouls' claws could slice through steel plates, and they could cut right into your golden light.

Not even a mark was left?

"Why have you never used it?"

"Because there's no need," Shane said. "Those things from before couldn't hit me."

Fang Zijian choked.

If I can't hit you, then I don't need to defend?

What kind of logic is this?!

Xia En didn't explain further; he walked towards the three ghouls.

The ghouls trembled at the sight of the dazzling golden light emanating from him; they wanted to run away.

But my legs were so weak they felt like noodles, I couldn't run at all.

Xia En walked up to them and looked down at them.

"Who sent you?"

The ghouls remained silent.

They have no organs other than a mouth, they can't speak, they can only hiss.

Xia En sighed, raised his right hand, and lightning crackled in his palm.

"Fine, don't tell me then."

"Hiss—!!!" The three ghouls let out a desperate roar at the same time.

"Palm Thunder".

"boom--!!!"

A bolt of lightning exploded in the forest, instantly vaporizing the three ghouls without leaving a trace.

Xia En withdrew his hand, patted off non-existent dust from his body, and turned to walk away.

Fang Zijian caught up with him, "That's it?"

"It's over."

"Aren't you going to ask who's taking care of them?"

"No need to ask."

Xia En took out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and said, "It was done by the Evil Spirit Cult. Only they would raise something like that."

He walked out of the woods, and the sunlight shone on him again, slowly fading away.

Fang Zijian and Liu Ruyan followed behind, watching his back with mixed feelings.

This man was covered in golden light, making his defenses impossible to break.

He stood there, doing nothing, and was a mobile fortress.
