Chapter 260: Chapter 186 Top-grade Assistance? _3His shouts were futile, and at this moment, he was tangled up by Lv Mingkun and the disciples of the Liao Ghost clan, unable to free his hands to save Liu Gui. He could only watch helplessly as Zhou Xuan strolled leisurely behind Liu Gui, as though taking a casual walk. In Zhou Xuan’s grasp was a Bone Tooth, which he slowly inserted into Liu Gui’s skull from the back. Thud! Liu Gui collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless. "Tap!" Zhou Xuan struck the gavel again, and in an instant Wan Changbo lost all ability to fight back. Lv Mingkun followed up with quick slashes, severing his throat completely. The situation had wholly turned around due to the intervention of Zhou Xuan and Lv Mingkun. "A debt of gratitude for saving my life; it will surely be repaid someday. May I ask the names of you two heroes?" The disciples of the Liao Ghost clan gathered around. "Stop jabbering! There are still people fighting in the house. Go help quickly! I’ll be right there." Zhou Xuan waved his hand, dispersing the crowd. Once they disappeared, Zhou Xuan’s Blood Well could no longer hold back, frenziedly devouring the sacrifices. Three sitting four looking, one with five Incense Sticks. Zhou Xuan could feel the eyes within the Blood Well gorging on the sacrifices with boundless ecstasy. The eyes blinked wildly, and in a short amount of time, the four Wuzuo were devoured until only their skeletons remained. Having dealt with these matters, Zhou Xuan walked towards Old He’s house. ... A middle-aged man standing atop a small hill watched the battle on East Market Street, especially the skirmish at Old He’s doorstep, with astonishment. When Zhou Xuan and Lv Mingkun appeared on the scene, he had been somewhat worried. Not worried about Lv Mingkun, but concerned about Zhou Xuan. Through his tea-colored glasses, Zhou Xuan’s Incense Fire Level was clearly observed—two Incense Sticks. The lowest level of the entire street. Even those bloodthirsty Liao Ghost disciples, charging in with suicidal determination, had three Incense Sticks. Someone with only two Incense Sticks entering the fray—wasn’t that just asking for trouble? But when Zhou Xuan, in sync with Lv Mingkun, swiftly pinned down Han Sitang and Liu Luoyu, the man finally exhaled with relief. "Zhou Xuan’s combat intelligence isn’t bad. Using his skill as a storyteller to provide cover for Lv Mingkun, he mitigates the disadvantage of his lower Incense Fire Level." When the man assumed Zhou Xuan would stay fully committed in his "top-grade assistance" role throughout the battle, a shocking scene unfolded. Zhou Xuan’s Incense Fire Level suddenly surged—from two Incense Sticks to four. "How could he possibly have reached four Incense Sticks?" The middle-aged man knew when Zhou Xuan had pledged allegiance to his Tangkou. "Even at four Incense Sticks, he can’t possibly match that Wuzuo." He didn’t know Liu Gui’s name but discerned Liu Gui’s Incense Fire Level through his glasses. Five Incense Sticks! In the realm of spirit-worshippers pledging themselves to deities, the difference between one and four Incense Sticks wasn’t all that significant. But after four Incense Sticks, the gap became increasingly vast. Five Incense Sticks could simultaneously hold its own against four or five spirit-users at the four Incense Stick level. Yet what he didn’t expect was Zhou Xuan, looking for all the world like a leisurely old man wandering with a birdcage, nonchalantly strolling over to pin Liu Gui down. "That easy?" The middle-aged man even suspected his Magic Artifact was malfunctioning. Just then, he spotted a crimson lantern suspended at the western end of East Market Street. On the lantern, there was an eye. The Night Patrol God of Mingjiang Prefecture! "Huh? Why has the God Traveling Department intervened?" While the middle-aged man was bewildered, he simultaneously noticed a black-robed figure suddenly appearing by the iron gates at East Street’s entrance. The black robe, complete with a hood, concealed the figure’s face in its shadows. "Five Incense Sticks, and a hint of Golden Armor. A City God’s Zhi Jia Master." Through his tea-colored glasses, he saw the intensity of the fire blazing in the black-robed figure’s chest, as well as a faint golden glow enveloping his entire body. The middle-aged man hadn’t been in Mingjiang Prefecture for long, but he had heard tales of the City God’s Holding Armor Incense, famed for its ability to kill across spiritual realms. A City God’s prowess at five Incense Sticks level could take down formidable foes at six Incense Sticks level. "Whose side is he on?" ... Lu Yusheng, cloaked in black robes, walked to the iron-barred gate. Hanging from his chest was a "Divine Armor." The Divine Armor was no larger than a cigarette case, and inscribed upon it were the words "Taoist Divine Travel Talisman"—Welcome the Divine Traveler, Chase the Armored Horse, Forge Ahead Unhindered, Cross Mountains and Rivers. This was the City God’s traveling Magic Artifact. When he reached the gate, the Divine Armor emitted a flicker of golden light. Suddenly, Lu Yusheng’s body seemed to lose its physical form, transforming into a mist-like vapor that passed effortlessly through the metal bars of the gate. With the Divine Armor in possession, Lu Yusheng traveled with extraordinary speed. To an observer, his pace seemed unhurried, yet every step carried him over a dozen meters. "Hehehe!" "Hahaha!" The Liao Ghost disciples stationed at East Street’s entrance had lost half their members but managed to decimate the invading Wuzuo to the last man. Now, the remaining Liao Ghost disciples turned their aggression toward Lu Yusheng. Lu Yusheng paid them no heed and continued straight toward Old He’s house. A small paper kite flew ahead to guide the way, while the God Traveling Department’s lantern transmitted instructions through the kite. "Two skilled fighters have arrived and killed Liu Gui! They’re tough to deal with; proceed quickly to offer support." Because of the lantern’s message, Lu Yusheng didn’t linger to skirmish with the intercepting Liao Ghost disciples. Moving rapidly with the Divine Travel Talisman, Lu Yusheng quickly arrived at Old He’s house, though he didn’t enter through the front door. The City God, dedicated to "Suppressing Ghosts and Demons, Eradicating Evil and Protecting the Dao," was widely known for its honorable reputation. To associate with kidnappers and notorious Wuzuo halls, some discretion was necessary. Lu Yusheng concealed himself within the forest behind Old He’s house. The area was secluded and close to Old He’s residence, making it an ideal spot to strike from. Lu Yusheng retrieved a human eye from the inky pouch of his black robe. As he chanted a spell, the human eye fluttered rapidly, and the wall of Old He’s house turned into gossamer. The gossamer rippled with waves before disappearing completely. With the Magic Artifact "Eye of Insight," Lu Yusheng observed the interior of Old He’s house in crystal clarity.
