Chapter 165 - 165 154 Report, Someone is Showing Off (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 165: Chapter 154: Report, Someone is Showing Off (Request for Monthly Ticket) Chapter 165: Chapter 154: Report, Someone is Showing Off (Request for Monthly Ticket) Chen Yuan said a word of nonchalance, and the middle-aged man, ignoring Chen Yuan’s closed eyes, still expressed his thanks. Just then, the servant’s voice came. “Master, the fire is ready!” “You should rest quickly, lest the chill worsens.” After that, the group gathered around the fire at the southeast corner of the dilapidated temple and sat down. “Dad, slow down!” The young lady in the pink dress helped the middle-aged man, then leaned back and said softly to a maid dressed girl, “Little Juan, everyone is tired, divide the food.” Little Juan let out a sound of acknowledgment, then distributed the food; the servants ate steamed buns, while the master’s family ate pastries and jerked meat. The two burly men under the man in black, however, were an exception; they ate their dry jerked meat, frequently making “pei” sounds from their mouths, disliking the meat for leaving residues in their mouths. Maid Little Juan appeared somewhat nervous while distributing pastries to these three. After finishing, the maid carrying the food box came to the young lady’s side, only to hear the pink-dressed woman whisper to her: “Please take a ration to that gentleman; I just heard his stomach growling, he must be hungry, just say it is my father’s thanks for lending us a place to stay and disturbing the peace.” “Alright.” The maid nodded. Just then, the man in black suddenly spoke, “Hold on.” Saying so, he frowned and looked at the pink-dressed woman, “Cousin Yun Luo, before the journey, how did I instruct you? Do you know him? Do you understand him? The worldly society is perilous, don’t interact randomly with others.” After talking, he glanced at his distant cousin’s gentle and beautiful face, her almond eyes sparkling slightly, he softened his tone slightly, “The old madam asked me to bring you back to the ancestral home, though we are strong enough to not fear those pests, but it is my responsibility, be obedient!” The pink-dressed woman’s face twitched slightly as she heard this but then nodded, “Cousin’s admonishment is right, Yun Luo understands.” At this moment, the middle-aged man beside them spoke: “No harm, let it be sent to that gentleman, cough, after all, we share the same roof here.” Saying so, he coughed violently again. “Yes, master.” The maid acknowledged with a voice, walking gently toward the Taoist Platform. The man in black saw this, glanced at the middle-aged man with some indifference, and snorted coldly. “Uncle Zhao should still watch out for his throat, once we reach the old house, there won’t be a place for you to speak.” “If it were not for the old madam still remembering Cousin Yun Luo...” Yun Zhuosheng looked at the sickly middle-aged man with a hint of coldness in his eyes, not showing much respect. Speaking of which, there was still a past grudge. The old lady’s most beloved daughter, his aunt whom he had never met face to face, eloped with this man, ran away far, and later news came that the aunt died, leaving behind a daughter in Anning County of Jiufeng City. The Yun Family in Jingguan City was a prominent family with many family members. Such an incident had brought shame to the family in the past years. When the news came, there were suggestions to bring this family back to acknowledge their ancestors, but it was opposed by many in the family! Until this incident, when the major families in Jingguan City got news that Youmen Pass had been breached by demons, the frontline was urgent, the old lady, despite opposition, still remembered her most beloved younger daughter’s only blood, overcame the objections, and sent for them to be brought back! He was about to say more, but Zhao Yunluo, the pink-dressed woman, interrupted him, “Please cousin, do not blame my father, it was my own decision.” Yun Zhuosheng saw this, snorted coldly, and said no more. Meanwhile, next door, maid Little Juan arrived before Chen Yuan, then placed a portion of pastries before him, “Sir, this is a token of thanks from my master, as we disturbed the peace.” Finished speaking, the little maid quickly walked away. Chen Yuan’s eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes, looking down at the pastries wrapped in oiled paper on the ground. Just now, he naturally heard the family’s conversation. The young lady heard his stomach growling, which was him digesting the essence Qi from just eating demon flesh and consuming divine power. Regarding the polite father and daughter duo, he felt they feared he’d be embarrassed and found a pretext! As for the young man in black, what he said was not wrong, one should indeed keep contact with strangers to a minimum when out and about, especially in this desolate mountain temple. However, listening to their conversation, it seemed their relationship was rather complex. But this wasn’t his concern. Reflecting this, his gaze dimly shifted to the left. Outside the dilapidated temple, a shadow in the windy, rainy forest, like a ghost on a rainy night, was rapidly approaching the temple. The Leopard Demon was running in this direction. Because, the Leopard Demon suddenly discovered the tempting aura it had been coveting had disappeared. A pair of dim green beast eyes getting closer, approaching soundlessly in the storm. Inside the temple, Chen Yuan quietly watched, unshakably calm, his face expression shifting faintly in the flickering firelight, the corner of his mouth curling slightly, vague and undeterminable. Just then, “Help!” “Help!” “...” Outside the temple, a faint woman’s cry for help came with the wind and rain, pouring into the temple. Beside the fire, the family eating dry food heard the noise and their expressions shifted slightly. The man in black’s face turned stern, grabbing the long sword at his waist and drawing it out swiftly, revealing a flash of cold light, his aura surging, displaying the aura of Perfect Qi Refining. “Young Master!” His two accompanying martial masters also stood up abruptly, their eyes filled with shock. At this moment, “Pop pop pop” The shabby doors and windows were suddenly blown open by the fierce wind outside, and the slanting rain poured in, the icy dampness saturating the air. The woman’s cry for help became clearer and clearer. “Everyone, stay put and don’t move!” The man in black frowned, then instructed the two Qi Refining Early Stage martial masters of his family, “Go and close the doors and windows!” In such a wild and raining field, a woman’s cry for help was likely suspicious. Even if it was true. He would not interfere; it was not worth the risk. The two martial masters quickly secured the shaking, leaky doors and windows. During this process, the father and daughter pair didn’t show much panic, only pricked their ears to listen, somewhat puzzled and also did not recklessly offer help. Meanwhile, outside, the calls for “Help” continued for a while, then suddenly stopped. Within a few seconds, a low growl suddenly exploded, sounding as if it was right beside everyone’s ears. Then, a panic-stricken cry abruptly arose. “Ah?” “That... what is that?” Everyone saw a servant, frightened, pointing upwards at the roof, where a ghastly green giant eye was staring intently at them. The sight terrified the servant into collapsing on the ground. The man in black suddenly looked up and swung his sword towards the roof. “Swoosh” A sharp sword light slashed towards those eerie large eyes. The next second, the sinister green eyes disappeared, And the already-damaged roof now had a big hole, allowing more wind and rain to sweep in. “Go up!” The man in black surged up towards the hole, followed closely by the martial masters under him. Immediately after, shouts came from outside amidst the storm. “Evil beast, you’ve got the wrong person!” Then, there were cries of command, the roars of beasts, and the sounds of metal clashing. Inside the temple, several servants peered through the broken window, witnessing the scene in the storm, panicked and terrified. “Demons!” “Master, master, what do we do?” “Miss....” Outside, one could see a giant leopard, moving agilely through the storm, emitting deep growls like blades, its claws glittering coldly, and a thick tail like a long whip, tangling with three people while spraying demonic energy from its mouth, with eyes as large as lanterns chilling to the core. The man in black and his two underlings, two with Qi Refining Minor Achievement, one with Perfect Qi Refining, the man in black holding a sword, his blade blocking the Leopard Demon’s prodding claws, while his other hand formed a seal, turning raindrops into blue water arrows, the size of a ruler, shooting towards the demonic energy expelled by the Leopard Demon, exploding upon impact. His two martial masters, their bodies covered with a layer of dark golden hue, swinging iron rods, creating whooshing sounds, fiercely attacking the Leopard Demon’s rear, while its tail, like a sturdy iron whip, extremely agile, whipped through the air to fend off the two men. For a moment, three men and one demon, fought through the storm, cries and roars uninterrupted. The two sides seemed equally matched, unable to determine a victor momentarily. After a while, the Leopard Demon seemed to grow impatient. Its gloomy green pupils suddenly dilated, and with a wide yawn, a white stream of light carrying a force far beyond the Leopard Demon itself shot towards the man in black. Speed extremely fast! The man in black instantly felt a chilling murderous aura permeating his whole body. “True Meaning of Divine Power!” This thought instinctively emerged in his mind. How does this leopard possess this thing? The man in black’s face changed drastically, and then he fiercely clenched a green Twin Fish Jade Pendant hanging from his waist. The moment he crushed the pendant, a dual-colored Spirit Light astonishingly burst forth from it, congregating into a dual-colored light screen in front of him. The next second, the white stream of light violently struck the dual-colored light screen. The light screen, taller than a man, flickered urgently for a while, but didn’t break, however, the force of the impact made the man in black stagger back continuously, until he was sliding backwards for dozens of meters. Taking advantage of this gap, the Leopard Demon freed up its hands, its tail whipping, sending the two Qi Cultivators with Small Success flying, then turned around, rushing eagerly into the broken temple. It wanted to find that thing that excited its blood and flesh! “Bang” The already precarious temple door, under the storm, was smashed open. A leopard’s head the size of a small house peeked in, its two large ghastly green eyes sparkling with cruel ferocity. “Ah” Screams erupted instantly within the temple. Among the crowd, the father and daughter, although pale-faced, maintained their composure and slowly backed away. Then, hearing the screams, the Leopard bit down, its large, ghastly green eyes menacingly glaring at them. The expressions of the father and daughter contrasted; the daughter’s face was pale, her gentle eyes filled with fear, while the father shielded his daughter behind him, other servants shivering, feeling as if their blood had frozen. However, in the next instant, the Leopard Demon, large in stature, merely sniffed once and moved its gaze away from them, directly focusing on the Taoist Platform directly in front of the entrance. There, under the glow of firelight, a figure was sitting in lotus position, his eyes shimmering with golden specks. The Leopard Demon’s nose moved rapidly a few times, its massive paws continued stepping forward. Yes, from this person’s breath, came a scent exciting its blood. “Eat him!” “Eat him” That pair of lantern-like beastly eyes suddenly became excited, then the Leopard Demon burst forth, rushing to the figure in front of him, opening his foul, blood-stained jaw. Just at that moment, A resolute cry echoed in everyone’s ears. “Evil beast, dare not harm him!” A sword light, like thunder from the heavens, cut through the rainy night, splitting the broken temple’s roof, like a meteor cleaving the moon. The sword severed the Leopard Demon’s body in half. “Ao” A shrill scream, echoing through the night sky, startled the scenic mountain forest. Only to see, the originally open-jawed Leopard Demon, divided into two. “Puff” Blood sprayed. Those bright green eyes, following a shrill cry, gradually extinguished. After a few breaths, a figure donned in a straw raincoat and hat, appeared in front of the rainy night entrance. Both hands in front of his eyes, the sword and its sheath “clacked” together, merging into one! As the sword light flickered, it cast a bright sheen on a pair of glowing eyes. Then, he walked in, and looking at the figure that remained motionless, Possibly scared, he spoke: “Are you alright?”
