Chapter 345: Chapter 225: Protective Talisman, Elixir of Immortality (Part 2)

Combined with the aura similar to that of the Alien Evil Monarch, the answer is obvious, certainly not an upright person.

Later, I’ll set a trap and ask Master to oversee it, seeing if this fish will take the bait.

If it’s smart and doesn’t take the bait, we’ll let it go and wait for Master to return.

Or perhaps, gather Qi Yan, Master Lv Nan, and Xu Zirong to form a gang for an ambush..."

In Black River County, Master Bai Qi likes to handle enemies with a show of force!

When he can rally helpers, he never fights alone!

...

...

"Mr. Zhou Er, please forgive my nagging, but in Yihai Prefecture, under no circumstances should you act against Bai Qilang. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

If anything happens to him, given Ninghai Zen’s temperament, he will definitely return in force, storming into the city, causing the Thirteen Guilds to pay a heavy price."

Sitting against the inner wall of the spacious carriage, Lu Zhongping urged once more, still uneasy.

He was well aware of Mr. Zhou Er’s background and details, which is why he repeatedly emphasized his point.

"Rest assured, although Bai Qilang is alluring and of exceptional quality, for the sake of our sect’s major affairs, I can barely restrain myself."

When mentioning Bai Qi’s name, Mr. Zhou Er, holding the Jade Bamboo Folding Fan, couldn’t help but squint his eyes, licking his lips,

his suave and handsome appearance contrasting with his vulgar demeanor, which gave Lu Zhongping a chill in his heart, secretly cursing:

"These lunatics, there’s not a single normal one among them! That last person also looked decent, but come the full moon night, he was like a beast in heat, causing trouble everywhere in the estate, sparing no one, not even the stable animals."

Every time Master Lu thought of the good horses that fell victim to those vile acts, he was horrified, shocked by the sinister deeds of the Four Reversals Demon Sect.

Keep in mind, just recently, the Demon Sect’s sub-sect leader who suddenly died in the estate showed no signs of lustful behavior, even rejecting beautiful maids sent by his own son.

Who could have predicted... he played it so big!

"The child who came with Bai Qilang today, is that his brother?"

Mr. Zhou Er wiped the corner of his mouth with his fingers, seemingly savoring that unforgettably sweet aroma.

"Yes, this Bai Qilang is a native of Black River County. He used to make a living by fishing, with both parents having passed away, leaving only him and his brother to rely on each other."

Lu Zhongping answered simply.

Following the incident at the Hidden Pavilion where a thousand gold was offered for a bounty, every major figure in Yihai Prefecture’s Thirteen Guilds had a profile on Bai Qilang on their desk.

The mere title of "Ninghai Zen’s disciple" was enough to make them take him seriously.

Ten years ago, the Su Family committed such a foolish act, nearly bringing calamity to all major families in Yihai Prefecture, serving as a cautionary tale for everyone.

"Mr. Zhou Er, we are at a critical time for Zhi Xin Temple’s search for remnants, I beg of you, stay calm. I, Mr. Lu, have risked my entire family’s lives just to board your sect’s ship."

On Lu Zhongping’s youthful face, maintained meticulously, there was a look of helplessness, as he bowed and saluted:

"Bai Qilang cannot be touched, and his brother... of course the same! Master Qian’s inexplicable death at Long Lake Villa has not yet been clarified; Yihai Prefecture is currently very murky, and no more complications can arise!"

Hearing these words, Mr. Zhou Er’s heart grew solemn, his expression suddenly serious. He crossed his hands, placed them on his forehead, and chanted:

"Conceal light and shine subtly; hide shapes and obscure shadows; endure foulness and drink filth, exhale mist to condense radiance..."

At once, his restless mind calmed significantly, and the sinister light in his eyes dimmed.

After some deep breaths, Mr. Zhou Er eventually regained his original elegant demeanor.

"I must apologize to Master Lu, it’s truly that I’ve never encountered two such superb ’materials’ at the same time.

Though Bai Qilang is already exceptional with his practice in blood refinement, scented subtly like jade, truly one in ten thousand.

But his brother is even more remarkable, with his vibrant Vitality Essence blazing intensely, a spiritual aura gathers at his brow, as if a small celestial sapling.

Standing together, they radiate brilliance and elegance, making it difficult for me to restrain myself."

Seeing Mr. Zhou Er transformed back to his courteous and genteel appearance, Lu Zhongping breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that followers of the Four Reversals Demon Sect were often driven by emotions and desires to act almost as evil demons.

Master Qian’s morbid hobbies had caused the Lu Family to clean up several times, otherwise, they would have long attracted the Daoist Official’s attention, unable to keep their whereabouts hidden.

"Did you purchase the Protective Talisman from Zhi Xin Temple?"

Suppressing his impulsive desires, Mr. Zhou Er, now like a well-read scholar, exuded an aura of vast literary knowledge.

"Ten thousand taels each, Master Xuanji is indeed a master at making money! I always wondered why the death of two Daoist School students stirred such a large operation to search the mountains and inspect the sea, seems it was to target the Thirteen Guilds!"

Lu Zhongping’s face twitched as if gritting his teeth, cursing Master Xuanji’s announcement, spreading across the counties to arrest the remnants of the White Sun Sect, then selling "Protective Talismans" blessed by Zhi Xin Temple, claiming that wearing one ensures no contamination by evil aura amidst chaos in Yihai Prefecture.

The underlying implication was clear as day!

Those major figures without a Protective Talisman likely had become "tainted" and could be colluding with rebels!

"The Thirteen Guilds have always been the fattened sheep for the Daoist Officials to slaughter during festivities. Master Lu, aren’t you used to it yet? Although Master Xuanji is genuinely capturing remnants, missing out on a chance to enrich the temple’s treasury would be a pity, hahaha, if it were you, you might act the same."

Mr. Zhou Er’s eyes glinted with insight, faintly smiling:

"After all, it’s merely ten thousand taels of silver. Precisely due to Master Xuanji’s love for wealth, I avoided having to beg the Protector for an extremely precious ’Heaven-Stealing Day-Changing Talisman.’
