Chapter 165: Chapter 141: Cloud of Doubt on the Yin Deity, Meeting with the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple Again?
Translator: 549690339
Perhaps that set of ritual clothing and Daoist robe is not a Daoist artifact, it’s just that the old man wore it for a long time, and it was nurtured by his Zeal and magic power, so it has some effect of restraining evil Yin and resisting water and fire.
However, the Thousand-year-old Thunderstruck Peachwood Sword is an absolute Daoist artifact!
And its grade is definitely no lower than that of “Big Iron Hammer,” it is beyond doubt!
Xu Yang had attempted to “Blood-refine” it before, but it was not successful.
Suspicious, Xu Yang took out the Peachwood Sword again and dropped a drop of blood on it.
Blood slid down the tip of the sword, dripping onto the ground, without being absorbed by the Peachwood Sword.
“Unable to refine…”
An artifact unable to be refined only means one thing!
Its previous owner is still alive!
Xu Yang collected both the Peachwood Sword and the Big Iron Hammer, thinking in his heart: “The old man must be dead, Elder Wang would not lie to me about this. There is no need to lie to me…”
“Right!”
“Elder Wang said the old man committed suicide and his soul entered the Underworld Palace… Is it possible that he used some secret techniques from the Asura Sect to transform himself into a fierce ghost?”
This possibility is enormous!
After all, Xu Yang did not see the old man’s bones… if he knew about the secret techniques of the Asura Sect, or something similar, it meant that right after death, he directly drained his own essence and blood to nourish and grow his Yin soul!
In doing so, the corpse instantly turns into a dried corpse.
At that time, Xu Yang was just an ordinary high school student, how would the old man expose him to a scene like that?
Upon thinking about it, Xu Yang couldn’t help but criticize.
“Dr. Wan’s grandfather, his Yin spirit was as weak as anything after he died… he pleaded for his life just because of hundreds of thousands of dollars, giving people dreams… the old man was in the Divine Transcendence Realm when he was alive, even if his cultivation base fell, his soul’s realm was still there, and after he died, he must be a Ghost King.”
“Being a Ghost King made it so difficult to give me a dream?”
After complaining, Xu Yang couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.
Ordinary ghosts that entered the Underworld Palace would have to be reincarnated… the old man wouldn’t have been reincarnated, would he?
Thinking about it, Xu Yang couldn’t help but shudder.
Damn it!
If the old man really reincarnated, how old would he be now?
Three years old?
“No, if the old man had been reincarnated, I would definitely be able to refine this Peachwood sword… this means that the old man is still in the Underworld Palace, and I should think of a way to contact him.”
Soon.
Xu Yang met up with Liu Shishi and the others.
They drove to Lintong County and were ready to stay at the familiar “Lintong Yuet Chun Hot Springs Hotel”… of course, the reason for choosing this hotel, besides being familiar after having been there once, Xu Yang wanted to experience hot springs.
There were no hot springs in Wu City or even the entire Xi Xia Province.
So Xu Yang wanted to try it.
After parking the car,
Xu Yang led Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo with great pride into the hotel.
As soon as they entered the hotel’s main entrance, Xu Yang immediately felt the gazes of others upon him, and faintly heard whispers-
“Look, that guy has brought four girls into a room!”
“Damn… it’s true!”
“What the hell is wrong with this world? This bastard is just a bit more handsome. Look at the clothes on him. They are standard roadside stall goods… how could he have four amazingly beautiful girls with him?”
“In my opinion, these women are no good either… maybe they were found with money. Nowadays, aren’t there a lot of internet celebrities online? As long as Brother Bangzi is willing to pay, skycalling is a piece of cake.”
Some women showed resentful eyes and scolded, “Bah, scum!”
Xu Yang straightened with pride, looking arrogant.
For a man, this is the most glorious moment!
However, how keen are the senses of Yun Mengxi, Yue Yuluo, and the others?
Even though these people lowered their voices, Xu Yang could hear, and they can naturally hear as well.
Yun Mengxi became furious, took out her watermelon knife, and glared at those gossipers, cursing, “Damn it, what are you saying? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you?”
Yue Yuluo also stood up, she scolded at that woman in anger, “My husband is not a scumbag!”
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hotel lobby quieted down, the hotel manager ran over quickly, and upon seeing Yun Mengxi holding a watermelon knife, hurriedly persuaded her, “Miss, please calm down… put the knife down, put the knife down.”
“Who the fuck are you calling miss?”
“You are the miss, your whole family is the miss!”
Yun Mengxi’s eyes widened, and with a flip of her hand, she put away the watermelon knife.
She has a storage ring, so naturally, she put the watermelon knife into the storage ring… but this scene, to the people in the hotel lobby, seemed like a magic trick.
The lobby manager tried to intervene, but Xu Yang pushed him aside, saying, “Alright, stop blocking the way. We need accommodation.”
He went to the front desk and pulled out his ID, “Register a room.”
However, the front desk girl couldn’t help but stare blankly at Xu Yang and his group of “people.” Suddenly, her face turned pale with fright, and she backed away, trembling, pointing at Xu Yang and screaming, “It’s him, it’s him! It’s him…!”
Almost joining in, the lobby manager asked discontentedly, “What’s the matter? Don’t you work properly instead of getting jumpy?”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang was also puzzled.
That’s because as soon as the front desk girl opened her mouth, a system alert rang in Xu Yang’s rnind-
“Ding!”
“Yin deity was frightened, too merit points+1 spiritual power.”
Xu Yang glanced at the front desk girl, feeling that she looked familiar. He vaguely remembered…
It was she who took him to find the “Outlaw” gang back then!
However, the girl was just an ordinary hotel front desk employee. So, why did the system give such a prompt when she was frightened?
It was impossible for the system to have any malfunctions. So, was it her that was possessed by a Yin deity?
Xu Yang’s thoughts flew by, and he had some vague speculations.
Rather than revealing anything, he smiled and said, “It’s alright. This lady might have some misunderstandings about me. Miss, please register the room; I’m not a bad person.”
However, such things are not simply explainable by saying, “I’m not a bad person.”
On that day, Xu Yang killed two people in this hotel. Even though “Rush Thunder Hand” Zhou Jie immediately sent someone to deal with it and contacted the local police to suppress the incident, it didn’t cause much commotion. However, every staff member in the hotel knew about it.
All the other hotel guests at the time knew about it as well.
However, because the Supernatural Affairs Bureau was involved, they couldn’t spread the word on the internet. However, through word of mouth, it did cause some impact on the hotel’s business.
Of course.
The impact was not significant.
After all, Lintong County is a major tourist destination, and most people who choose to stay at the Lintong Yuet Chun Hot Springs Hotel are tourists from all over the country and the world. They do not know much about what happened in the hotel.
After the front desk girl’s explanation, the hotel lobby manager was also shocked and was about to call the police immediately.
Xu Yang stopped him and flashed the badge given to him by the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, saying, “There’s no need to call the police. I was on a mission last time, and those I killed were those who should be killed. This time, I’m here for a vacation, and it won’t happen again.”
Although he didn’t take a close look at the badge,
the manager’s expression had gradually softened remembering the attitude of the police at the time.
He quickly squeezed out a smile and said, “Sir, welcome to our hotel. Quick, register for this gentleman. Does the top floor still have a large suite available? Register the suite, and put the money on the account!”
However, the front desk girl was still frightened, and she timidly said, “But… but he only has one ID!”
“One room, isn’t one ID enough?”
The manager glared at the girl!
The girl at the front desk immediately processed Xu Yang’s registration and handed him the room card in no time.
Xu Yang took the room card, looked at the girl at the front desk deeply, and revealed a meaningful smile, saying, “You don’t have to be afraid; I really am not a bad person.”
The lobby manager was very attentive and escorted Xu Yang and the four women into the elevator, personally leading them to a large suite on the sixth floor of the hotel. After assisting Xu Yang with swiping the card and opening the door, he introduced it, “Sir, although our hotel is not rated as a five-star hotel, our facilities are certainly not lacking. This suite is no less superior to a presidential suite in a five-star hotel.”
“Okay, I will see it for myself.”
Impatiently, Xu Yang dismissed him.
The manager nodded and bowed, “Okay, sir, if you need anything, just call the front desk. In addition to accommodation, our hotel can also provide delicious Chinese and Western cuisine as well as various beverages for you.”
With that said,
he respectfully retreated.
After the lobby manager left, Xu Yang’s face abruptly turned serious.
Liu Shishi was the first to notice that something was wrong, asking, “Xu Yang, what’s the matter?”
Xu Yang closely examined the hotel room to make sure there were no cameras or similar objects. He took out a Heavenly Eye Talisman once again, carefully observed the surroundings, and then said, “I suspect… the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple might have escaped!”
“That’s impossible!”
As soon as he finished, Yun Mengxi immediately retorted, “The strength of the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple is only comparable to mine. What kind of person is Wang Hou? He is only a step away from entering the realm of the Land Immortal!”
“He is a giant who can suppress the world. He is an earth-shattering master who could have enslaved even me in my heyday. The Xuan Mountain Temple Great Priest, whom he personally caught, could hardly escape his grasp.”
“That’s what perplexes me.”
Xu Yang pondered for a long time before suddenly saying, “But what if the one Wang Hou caught was not the real priest of Xuan Mountain Temple? Or to say… not the complete Xuan Mountain Temple priest?”
An image flashed across his mind, and he got up abruptly, asking, “Where is the statue of the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple that was placed in the hotel room on that day?”
