Watching the grief-stricken Li Chong, Zhao Huai’s heart wasn’t feeling well either.
If he could save Li Yanqing, he would have taken action long ago.
But at the moment, he didn’t have a good solution.
Just like Yan Jing said, only by finding that demon and killing it can they truly save Li Yanqing.
“Doesn’t the hexagram say that the fox demon will come?”
Zhao Huai looked at the divination result in his hand, which still read ‘Misfortune’, furrowing his eyebrows and searching for a solution to break the predicament.
“Do you have any ideas?”
Yan Jing stood up and whispered in Zhao Huai’s ear.
Zhao Huai solemnly shook his head.
“None?”
“Not none, but it’s very tricky. That demon is in the brothel, and if we go there recklessly, it’s bound to be dangerous.” Zhao Huai didn’t need to think to know that Drunken Flower Tavern was a deadly place.
He had merely divined the way here and already got two ‘Misfortunes’.
The third hexagram, even after using a change of fortune, turned into misfortune in the end.
It goes without saying that this operation must be approached with extreme caution.
“Have you fought her before?” Yan Jing asked curiously.
“Not really a fight, just a clash of our demonic powers. Although I won, her demonic power is at least at the seventh stage of refining qi, and I guess her original form is even stronger.”
Zhao Huai replied.
Getting such an answer, Yan Jing couldn’t help but purse his lips helplessly.
In his eyes, Zhao Huai was already the strongest person he knew, apart from official sect disciples.
If he said it was tricky, it must be difficult.
“Governor Li, you should still send someone to the Ascending Immortal Sect first. I know you’re grieving, but now that the demon is still there, you owe it to your son to explain.”
Yan Jing tried to persuade Li Chong, who was squatting by the bed with all the bitterness in his heart.
The Ascending Immortal Sect was the largest sect within a thousand miles, with tens of thousands of disciples, only they could deal with these demons.
“We have no other choice…”
Li Chong’s already exhausted body now lost even more energy, his face filled with numbness.
Suddenly, a cold glint appeared from behind everyone at that moment.
It turned out to be a servant who served tea, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, with ferocious eyes, pointing it at Li Chong.
“You!”
Li Chong’s eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.
In the next instant, Zhao Huai’s two fingers stood together, and he forcefully pointed his sword.
A stream of True Qi shot out.
The originally descending kitchen knife froze in midair.
“Ding! ”
Zhao Huai flicked lightly, a finger carrying the force of ten thousand pounds with the Peak Ultimate’s Intention, hit the shining kitchen knife and shattered it.
Yan Jing’s body stood upright, slapping the servant who flew away, his lightning-like gaze swept through the room as he asked himself:
“What’s going on? Was it an assassin?”
Zhao Huai walked over to the fallen servant, lifted his eyelids, and drew a conclusion.
“His eyes are off, he was under control.”
“When did this happen?” Yan Jing was shocked.
“Hallucinogenic perfume.”
Zhao Huai stood up calmly, his face looking grim.
“Drugs
Yan Jing asked back, his eyes filled with confusion, there was no smell of any drug powder.
“It’s the fox demon.”
Zhao Huai’s Divine Insight swept through the vast room, finding no one else hiding.
In the end, he looked outside the house, his eyes narrowed, and he said two words.
“Step back.”
Hearing this, Yan Jing’s expression turned solemn as he pulled Li Chong, who was still in shock, to stand and retreated to a corner.
Zhao Huai’s big hand clenched and the black ring flickered. A slender azure treasured sword appeared in his hand.
“Bang!”
Zhao Huai kicked the door open with one foot.
A long saber was immediately swung towards him.
In front of him stood a group of guards with long sabers in their hands, drooling, their eyes bulging as if to burst out, looking extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty.
“I knew it!”
Zhao Huai shouted lightly, stomped his foot, and the floor immediately shattered.
Quickly lifting his leg, he kicked at the chest of the many guards in front of him.
“Boom! “”Thud!”
“Thud!”
One by one, shadows were kicked and sent flying out of the house.
Zhao Huai transformed into a white streak of light as he brandished his Treasured Sword, weaving through the crowd.
His gaze swept outside the house, discovering that everyone was engulfed in a strange, sinister qi.
The steward and the attendants all stood where they were, their eyes dull and vacant.
Seeing this, Zhao Huai furrowed his brows and waved his sleeve.
One after another, the yellow talisman inscriptions flew out from his sleeve.
“Wooden Thunder Talisman, arise!”
Suddenly, an ocean of talismans appeared before everyone, rushing towards them as the Wooden Thunder Talismans hovered above their heads.
Soon, strands of black smoke rose from their mouths.
The black smoke converged, taking the form of a fearsome black fox face with a sinister grin. It screeched and charged towards Zhao Huai.
“Subdue.”
Zhao Huai’s expression remained calm, his sword clearing the path as he pointed it towards the attacking figure.
The two sides faced off.
Zhao Huai’s other hand was not idle, as he quickly bit his finger and used the blood to draw talisman inscriptions in midair.
The single-handed inscription drawing displayed a terrifying speed!
In no time, an enormous Taoist talisman formed, and Zhao Huai pushed it forward with his palm while shouting:
“Golden Thunder Talisman, execute!”
Suddenly, the sky was filled with flickering thunderbolts, growing brighter and more intense!
“Boom!”
An enormous explosion sounded in the sky, an extreme force annihilating the black smoke-formed fox face.
The black smoke was completely wiped out, and the people around collapsed, unconscious.
Before Zhao Huai could catch his breath, Yan Jing’s voice rang out from inside the house again.
“Brother Zhao! Come and see!”
Zhao Huai turned into a blur as he entered the house, only to see Yan Jing pointing at the person in front of him with a surprised expression.
Li Yanqing, who was supposed to be lying in bed, had strangely sat up!
His body twisted unnaturally, his head swaying non-stop, and his eyes completely white.
Zhao Huai’s eyes narrowed as he gripped his sword tightly.
“My son! What happened to you!”
Upon seeing Li Yanqing’s condition, Li Chong’s face was full of anguish. He wanted to rush forward and hold his son, but Yan Jing pulled him back.
“Don’t go near him, something is off!”
Li Yanqing’s head twisted in a bizarre manner as a hoarse voice addressed Zhao Huai:
“So, there’s a cultivator here. You must be the one who disrupted the connection between me and my Human Puppet with your talismans.”
“Indeed.”
Zhao Huai replied indifferently. “Good, very good! You think you’re so powerful, huh?” “More than enough to deal with you.”
Zhao Huai’s expression was serene as he retorted.
“Hahahaha!”
A terrifying, dry laugh came from Li Yanqing’s throat, as if mocking Zhao Huai.
“Such big talk, just wait. Jinzhou City will be next. How much longer can your human race remain smug?”
In the next instant, Zhao Huai’s figure disappeared from his original position.
When he reappeared, he was holding his sword behind him with one hand while his Insanity Technique activated within his mind.
Transforming into a giant bell.
“Boom!!”
The magnificent bell sound could cleanse one’s body and mind while eliminating demonic corruption.
As expected, under the infusion of the bell sound, a stream of black smoke left Li Yanqing’s body.
Li Yanqing lost all strength and once again fell back onto the bed.
Zhao Huai quickly sealed Li Yanqing’s meridians and placed several Taoist talismans around the bed.
After finishing these tasks and letting out a sigh of relief, Zhao Huai was about to speak when a bright orange light suddenly entered his mind.
This caught his full attention.
He looked closely at it.
