The ultimate master in the city

The ashes, like soot from the bottom of a pot, floated everywhere, blinding people.

The three of them packed up their tools and ran out of the temple without saying a word. When they reached the foot of the mountain and looked back, the entire temple was covered with ashes, as if it had been covered in snow.

Zhang Shisan sneezed and said with a wry smile, "What on earth is going on here?"

Monk Yuanzhi dusted himself off and asked, "What were the three of us doing here?"

Zhou Fengchen plopped down on the ground. "I came to ask Daoist Wu for help in finding the girl's seven souls!"

"Hey! That's fucking amazing!" Zhang Shisan and Monk Yuanzhi also sat down.

Zhou Fengchen took out cigarettes and distributed them. The three of them each had one in their mouths, took a few puffs, and looked at the dark night, all feeling quite depressed.

After a while, Monk Yuanzhi asked, "What are we going to do now?"

Zhang Shisan pondered for a moment, "The seven souls of the three girls in the village may never be found. Sigh! We should either go back to Guanxian Town, or..."

Zhou Fengchen gritted his teeth and stood up. "Let's go! Let's go see if Shangguan Xianyun and the others have killed Lu Shuangshi."

"Let's go, let's go!" Zhang Shisan had been waiting for these words, and he immediately became excited.

Monk Yuanzhi asked in confusion, "Who is Shangguan Xianyun?"

"Beautiful lady! You'll see when we get there!"

The three of them followed the small mountain path where Lu Shuangshi and the nun Kuzhu had left.

After walking for about half an hour, we turned a corner and came to a river. We heard sounds of fighting coming from the riverbank.

The three quickly hid in the bushes and peered over, only to be astonished by what they saw.

A huge, round moon hung in the sky, illuminating the earth. Near the river, a massive wreath floated, upon which sat a pair of conjoined women dressed in brightly colored clothes. Each had a long, steel-like tail as thick as an arm, with tongues that extended four or five meters out.

At this moment, the tongue and tail were swinging wildly in the air, smashing the ground and trees into a mess.

Meanwhile, five people surrounded them on the ground, relentlessly attacking them.

Han Fei used paper effigy to slash wildly, Ku Zhu chanted sutras to deliver the dead, a huge ghostly figure emerged from Shen Bowang's body, and a little girl named A Ling darted around carrying a pair of curved knives.

The most formidable was Su Luncai, who commanded a flock of long-beaked, strange birds the size of sheep to flap and peck wildly.

At this moment, the two women on the wreath were covered in blood and their momentum had weakened, while the five attackers were staggering and covered in blood, and they were in dire straits as well.

Monk Yuanzhi clicked his tongue: "Awesome, awesome, that was so much fun!"

Zhang Shisan looked around, then asked in confusion, "Brother Zhou, where is Shangguan Xianyun?"

Zhou Fengchen smiled and pointed to a tree on the other side, "Hey!"

A girl was sitting on the tree, swinging her legs. She was wearing a tight-fitting embroidered cotton-padded jacket, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she was wearing a white face mask. There seemed to be a lollipop in her mouth. Although her face was not clear, she had a very slender and curvaceous figure.

Monk Yuanzhi stared wide-eyed. "Wow! This little chick is gorgeous! She's a little over 1.7 meters tall, with a slender, straight figure. Her breasts are somewhere between a C and a D. I can't see her face clearly, but she's definitely not bad-looking!"

Zhou Fengchen exclaimed, "Damn it! Do you have eyes like lightning? How did you tell from so far away at night?"

Monk Yuanzhi pointed to his eyes, "These eyes of mine have seen countless women. I can tell at a glance what's top-quality and what's substandard. Believe me?"

Zhou Fengchen curled his lip, "You're so awesome!"

Zhang Shisan's small eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Looks pretty good, but...why does he look so familiar?"

Zhou Fengchen chuckled, not saying anything explicitly, "Well... which woman don't look familiar?"

Zhang Shisan laughed, "That's right, not bad! Not bad! She's mine now."

He was about to get up when he said that.

Zhou Fengchen quickly grabbed him, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Zhang Shisan was taken aback. "I'll go talk to her and try to build a relationship with her first."

Zhou Fengchen scoffed, "If you go over there now, she'll definitely beat you up, believe it?"

"Why did you hit me?" Zhang Shisan blinked.

Monk Yuanzhi said, "They're doing serious business, and you're trying to talk about feelings with them. Who else would they beat up if not you? How can you be so inexperienced, young man?"

Zhang Shisan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Shangguan Xianyun's appearance... could she be waiting for something?"

Zhou Fengchen nodded. "That's right! Look where Shangguan Xianyun is looking."

The group looked up and saw that Shangguan Xianyun was not watching the nun Kuzhu and the others attack Lu Shuangshi, but was looking at the opposite bank of the river.

"What are you waiting for?" Monk Yuanzhi asked.

"They're here!" Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan exclaimed in unison.

Just then, a thick cloud of pink smoke suddenly appeared on the opposite bank of the river. In the smoke, one could vaguely make out a group of women riding in luxury carriages, numbering no less than one or two hundred.

Zhang Shisan exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! So many cave spirit messengers?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Xianyun jumped down and appeared directly in front of Lu Shuangshi in the blink of an eye, a whip appearing in her hand, which she lashed out with force.

"Snapped!"

"ah--"

Nalu Shuangshi was torn apart, screamed, and fell to the ground. The other five people took the opportunity to attack, and in the blink of an eye, they beat Nalu Shuangshi until her soul was scattered.

A group of "Cave God Messengers" also crossed the river in their chariots.

"I'm not watching anymore!" Zhang Shisan gritted his teeth and rushed forward. "I'm going to help!"

Monk Yuanzhi blinked. "I'll go check out the excitement."

He then ran out.

Zhou Fengchen pondered for a moment and was about to follow when he suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from behind. He turned around and saw a person standing next to an old tree not far away, holding a book in his left hand and an iron chain in his right hand, grinning.

"Mao Wenlong? You bastard!" Zhou Fengchen's eyes widened as he drew his knife and chased after him.

The ghost messenger Mao Wenlong chuckled, turned and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Trying to run away?"

Zhou Fengchen formed a hand seal and activated his Heavenly Eye, declaring, "Demons and monsters have nowhere to hide! Urgent!"

Not far away in the woods, Mao Wenlong revealed himself, moving lightly forward while glancing back with a mocking laugh. When he noticed Zhou Fengchen's gaze, his expression changed, and he quickly turned and ran away as fast as he could.

"You've screwed me over so many times, today I'll make you regret it!"

Zhou Fengchen, carrying a knife, chased after him fiercely.

The man and the ghost ran in circles, meandering for half an hour, until they finally arrived at some unknown, eerie place. Zhou Fengchen grabbed the ghost messenger, Mao Wenlong, by his handprint, and said, "You little brat! Try running again!"

"Hehe..." Mao Wenlong turned around, chuckled dryly, and patted Zhou Fengchen's hand. "Your little hand seal is pretty good; you actually managed to grab me."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Zhou Fengchen released him, raising his knife. "If you don't give me an explanation, I'll chop you in half!"

Mao Wenlong pretended to straighten his clothes, "I can't say I'm cheating you. This is to help you accumulate good karma by finding you work. For example, you could have lived to 70, but by helping us, you can live to 80."

Mao Wenlong said in a serious tone, "Of course! Absolutely true!"

Then, he said furtively, "There's a big job up for grabs, want to come check it out with me?"
