Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

An old man stepped forward and said, "Replying to the Immortal Master, I am the village head of Xiaochi Town. May I ask what instructions the Immortal Master may give?"

Lin Zhu: "I'd like to trouble you, village head, to count how many livestock this white fox has harmed in the past two months."

The village headman was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why did our late master do this?"

Lin Zhu said calmly, "If I tell you to go, then go."

The village head then straightened his position, bowed respectfully, and dared not be negligent.

Lin Zhu's previous tactic of not making them kneel was also a way of establishing his authority.

The statistics were compiled quickly, and representatives from the families who suffered losses were also dispatched.

Over the course of two months, a total of 67 families were affected, with some losing chickens and ducks and others losing a cow.

They are now considering how to cut back on their food and clothing!

Lin Zhu said, "I know about your losses, but I have a use for this fox and can't hand it over to you. I can only compensate you with money now. Is Zhang Ergou here?"

"Yes, sir. What are your orders, Immortal Master?"

Lin Zhu's lips twitched slightly, then he took out ten taels of gold. "You lost a cow, I'll compensate you with ten taels of gold, is that acceptable?"

Zhang Ergou raised his head. "No, no, no, Immortal Master, this is too much. You've given enough to buy several more."

“Just take it. I’ll buy another cow later, and the rest will make up for the loss you’ve suffered without a cow these past few days.”

Part of the money Lin Zhu gave him was compensation for his emotional distress.

Apart from him, the remaining dozens of families received anywhere from one or two taels of gold to five taels.

They looked at Lin Zhu with a strange expression, wondering if he was some kind of god of wealth.

Then, the resentment towards the Three-Tails disappeared all at once.

Will there be more good things like this in the future?

Finally, Lin Zhu took out another fifty taels of gold and handed it to the village head, saying, "Please use this money to buy some good wine and food, and treat all the people in the town to a good meal to calm your nerves."

Having said that, without waiting for their reaction, the afterimage he left behind vanished.

It took them a while to realize what was happening. When they saw the five catties of gold in the village head's hand, their eyes gleamed with excitement.

The village head knew he couldn't embezzle the money; he wasn't that bold, especially since it was given by the immortal master. He quickly said, "Since the immortal master said this money is for us to calm our nerves, then let's use it to have a good meal."

The children in town were the first to get excited when they heard there was food.

Many people, however, felt that it would be wonderful if such a large sum of money were theirs.

But soon, the atmosphere of the whole town became lively with the children's happy mood, and their voices came out in the grove along with Lin Zhu.

The three-tailed fox transformed into human form and looked at Lin Zhu strangely, saying, "You gave them so much gold; be careful it doesn't bring them trouble."

Lu Xueqi and the others looked over curiously.

Liuwei asked, "What do you mean?"

Sanwei then recounted Lin Zhu's actions in detail, saying, "Big brother, don't you think it was a bit inappropriate?"

Lu Xing'er asked doubtfully, "Won't this work?"

Lu Xueqi, who was also inexperienced, looked at Liuwei with the same confusion.

Lin Zhu said, "I have considered this. Nothing will happen in Xiaochi Town."

"What do you mean?" Six-Tails and Three-Tails asked in unison.

Lin Zhu did not answer, but said, "You wait here, I'll be right back."

Having said that, he took off on his sword and swept through a radius of hundreds of miles around Xiaochi Town, killing many bandits who were terrorizing the area.

Faced with this unexpected calamity, some of these bandits died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

Lin Zhu also rescued many women and children who had been forcibly taken to the mountain village, which can be considered a meritorious deed.

To avoid wrongful execution, he conducted an investigation before taking action.

In total, one large mountain stronghold and three smaller ones were wiped out.

They were all deserving of death, their hands stained with the lives of good people.

Then, he spent the whole day escorting the women and girls out of the mountains.

Upon returning to the grove, the Six-Tails and Three-Tails sensed the lingering killing intent emanating from him.

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to kill someone?"

Lin Zhu nodded, "Yes, now that the surrounding bandits have been wiped out, Xiaochi Town is safe."

Liuwei's mouth twitched, but it was indeed a good method.

Lu Xing'er said, "Brother Zhu, you are so smart!"

After considering it for a moment, Lu Xueqi said, "It's best for us cultivators not to meddle in worldly affairs."

Lin Zhu grinned and said, "It's alright, I'm a martial arts practitioner."

Lu Xueqi had nothing to say, but nodded and said, "If you feel fine, then there's nothing to worry about."

Three-Tailed Fox looked at Lu Xueqi, blinked twice, and whispered to Six-Tailed Fox, "Big Brother, Miss Lu seems to like Fellow Daoist Lin."

Lu Xueqi heard this and felt somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Lu Xing'er also felt uncomfortable.

The two women's gazes toward the Three-Tails were not friendly.

The six-tailed fox showed signs of improvement, while the three-tailed fox reverted to its mischievous fox-girl form, sticking out its tongue with its back to the two women.

Lu Xueqi said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, it's time for us to return to Qingyun Sect to report back."

"Let's wait a bit." Lin Zhu looked at the Six-Tails and the Three-Tails. "Let's take these two fellow cultivators to a safe place first."

The six-tailed and three-tailed creatures exchanged a glance and did not refuse Lin Zhu's kindness. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Lu Xueqi wasn't stingy and nodded in agreement.

Of course, Lü Xing'er followed.

The question now is where to go.

"Are you really not going to my Yiyuan Sect? It's very safe there."

Lu Xing'er brought up her previous suggestion again.

Liuwei, however, had his own plans. He said, "Let's go to Yunluo Mountain. It's a remote and relatively safe place."

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "You give us directions, and we'll take you there."

The Dragon Soul Sword rose, transforming into a golden dragon that coiled and swirled in the air, its tail drooping down.

After using the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, the Dragon Soul Sword and its body were truly fused together. The current dragon body is a physical entity, radiating genuine dragon might.

Fortunately, the six-tailed creature possessed a noble bloodline and was not afraid of the dragon's might.

But the Three-Tails is different; it's a bit scary.

Liuwei patted her on the back, "Little San, don't be afraid!"

Lin Zhu jumped to the dragon head first, standing on it and looking down at him, saying, "You all come up too."

Lü Xing'er leaped up and arrived behind Lin Zhu.

Lu Xueqi thought for a moment and then jumped up as well.

With the reassurance of the six-tailed dragon, the three-tailed dragon overcame its fear and sat on the dragon's back.

A dragon's roar resounded, and a golden dragon soared into the sky.

Guided by Liuwei, Lin Zhu flew towards Luoyun Mountain.

At this moment, Li Xun and Yan Hong had no clue whatsoever about the two white foxes.

Even after arriving in Xiaochi Town, no clues were found.

Luoyun Mountain is not too far from Xiaochi Town, only tens of thousands of miles away.

Although Lin Zhu's sword speed was not as fast as the Golden Eagle King's, he arrived at this place in just one hour.

This is a mountain range that is more than 3,000 miles long. It is not considered large in Xuanzhou, but it is not a small mountain range either.

Because of its remote location, there are quite a few demonic beasts here, but none of them exceed the Nascent Soul realm.

The strongest one is a Mountain Lord, a demon beast that hasn't even condensed its demon core yet, equivalent to the Core Formation Realm, which the Three-Tailed Fox can handle.

They landed on a hillside at the highest peak.

The Three-Tailed Fox created a hidden cave dwelling, and the two of them moved in. An illusion spell was added to the entrance of the cave, making it even more concealed.

The Six-Tails will live here until its injuries heal.

After they settled in, Lin Zhu took Lu Xueqi and Lü Xing'er and said goodbye.

"Gentlemen, we'll be taking our leave now."

"Fellow Daoists, please take care!" Liuwei bowed deeply to Lin Zhu. This was a life-saving grace, and no amount of courtesy was too much.

Sanwei also placed her hands on her waist, squatted down, and performed the etiquette of a human woman.

Lin Zhu nodded to them, accepted the greeting, and then rode the golden dragon formed by the Dragon Soul Sword, taking Lu Xueqi and Lü Xing'er away.

He's really gone all the way.

Lu Xueqi said, "I wonder how Senior Brother Qi and the others are doing now."

Lin Zhu said, "Let's go back to Qingyun Sect first." Then he looked at Lü Xing'er, "What about you? Are you going back to Yiyuan Sect?"

Lu Xing'er shook her head, "I'll also go to Qingyun Sect to pay a visit. Before I left the sect, my grandfather told me to give Dao Xuan Zhenren my regards if I had the chance."

"Then let's go."

Lin Zhu stood in the center of the dragon head, with Lu Xueqi and Lü Xing'er on his left and right sides behind him, just half a body length apart.

In other words, the dragon's head was big enough for the three of them to stand on.
