Chapter 518: Chapter 371: Do Westerners Turn into Ghosts After Death?
Nowadays, Wu City is different from the past.
Because of Xu Yang’s presence, Wu City can be considered the safest city in Da Xia besides “Kyoto,” especially since the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy. Many people have moved to Wu City and bought houses.
Add to that a lot of hype and promotion.
For example, a certain celebrity bought a property in Wu City.
A certain internet celebrity was plagued by an evil ghost, acting crazy all day. On their first day in Wu City, the evil ghost was caught by a group of armed “underworld soldiers” and executed on the spot…
The key is that the property prices in Wu City are low, there is plenty of good food, and the living environment is comfortable!
This situation is like that of the “Barbecue City” in the first half of the year. As it caught on, more and more people joined in… Especially those who have recently bought houses and settled in Wu City, they would naturally add fuel to the fire as they watch the housing prices continue to rise…
Within just less than two months, the average housing price in Wu City has doubled from over 5000 before, with slightly better houses breaking ten thousand, and the housing prices continue to rise, with the city’s average housing prices estimated to break ten thousand before the end of the year!
Under such circumstances, Wu City is bustling nowadays.
At noon, the streets are full of people coming and going.
Especially on “Guangyao Food Street,” where the Wu City government has recently set up a “Food Street.” The streets are crowded with people. In this situation, a scream suddenly comes from the front.
It’s an old yellow ox, who suddenly stands up on its hind legs and starts running wildly.
Its front hooves have turned into human hands.
It’s even holding a bottle of Xi Xia Beer in its hand, guzzling it down while running.
Behind it, Ma Long, who is drunk as a skunk, chases after it, shouting, “Brother Niu… Wait for me, I’ve already settled the bill!”
“???”
Niu Mang slows down, swaying on his feet and letting out a belch. He then sits down on the steps by the side of the street.
Crack.
After all, it’s an old yellow ox.
How could the steps on the side of the road bear his weight?
The steps crack right open.
Drunk Niu Mang doesn’t even notice, cursing, “Damn it, you didn’t say you’d settled the account already! You made me run all over the place… Wait, what are we doing next?”
Niu Mang lets out a belch, reaches into his crotch, and then tilts his head back, chugging the whole bottle of Xi Xia Beer.
The crowd on the street sees this scene, first shocked and afraid, retreating one after another.
“Demon!”
“There’s a demon!”
“Is this a demon? Isn’t Wu City the safest city in the country? How can there be demons in the city!”
“Mom, I’m going to die, this demon is going to eat people!”
Niu Mang glares, scolding angrily, “Damn, you mortals, quit yapping! I’m the mount of Celestial Master Xu, how could I hurt people?”
Ma Long also catches up.
As he chiefly cultivates “Soul” and has a weak physical body, indulging in desires with no restraint, he is sweating profusely and panting heavily after running such a short distance.
After some explanation,
The fear in people’s hearts dissipates, and they gather around once again.
“Wow!”
“So it’s the mount of Celestial Master Xu… No wonder it’s so majestic!”
“In ancient times, the Daoist Ancestral Master rode an ox to the west and left Jia Yu Pass. Celestial Master Xu’s mount is also an old yellow ox today… Could it be that he has the appearance of becoming a Dao?”
“Oh my… Sister, look at how cool that ox demon is!”
“Sister, are you horny again?”
Click, click, click.
Someone starts taking pictures.
Soon, the police arrive, initially shocked to see a “cow demon,” but still bravely stepping forward to question it.
The cow demon doesn’t know what “police” are. After Ma Long’s explanation, it is shocked, suddenly jumping up and saying, “Isn’t that the patrol station? Ma Long, I’m slipping away first…”
He carries the beer bottle, stands upright, makes a running start, and whooshes out of the crowd in a flash. The police want to chase after him, but find that the ox demon’s hooves are running at the speed of wind fire wheels, leaving afterimages. Can they catch up?
After talking to the people,
They call Xu Yang.
Xu Yang rushes back to Wu City, seeing Niu Mang still wreaking havoc on the streets, he immediately frowns and sends a divine thought to him:
“Niu Mang!”
Niu Mang sobers up instantly, standing on the sidewalk, quickly hiding the beer bottle behind his back and letting out a belch, “Master, you’re here.”
Xu Yang steps down from the auspicious cloud, landing from the sky.
How could Niu Mang’s little tricks hide from him?
Seeing the traffic paralysis and congestion caused by Niu Mang on the street, Xu Yang said coldly, “I told you to stay at the doorstep, why did you run out?”
Niu Mang looks guilty, lowering his head and saying, “Master… It was Ma Long, he dragged me out to drink.”
Ma Long, who just chased over from the intersection: “???”
“Damn, Niu Mang, you really shouldn’t be throwing shit on me!”
Ma Long said, “It was you who dragged me… ugh!”
After Niu Mang forced him to drink,
And he ran so far, his stomach was churning, before he could finish his sentence, he vomited all over the ground.
Xu Yang scolded: “It’s fine to go out for a drink… But since you’re a Demon King and can transform, why don’t you transform before going for a drink? Why do you have to make such a mess?”
Niu Mang said with grievance: “Sir, I can transform into a human, but being a human… feels awkward to me. I heard that modern people are very tolerant, some men can dress as women and go out on the streets, some women can dress as little female dogs and be led around, even going out without clothes. Since they can do it, I thought I could too…”
Xu Yang was left speechless.
The appointed time with Wang Hou was approaching, so he could only send Niu Mang away for now.
As for Ma Long, he flagged down a taxi to leave.
About 10 minutes later, Wang Hou flew over from afar.
He scanned with his true meaning of martial arts, found Xu Yang, and also detected Niu Mang’s aura. After landing and asking a few questions, he couldn’t help but sigh: “Comparing oneself to others can be disheartening… A powerful demon at the Demon King Realm actually rushed to be your mount…”
Xu Yang smiled: “If Minister Wang is interested, I can help you catch one too!”
“No need.”
Wang Hou waved his hand and said: “As a martial artist, what’s the point of riding a mount?”
Then, he finally got to the main topic: “The media are almost all here… Where is the press conference going to be held? How about at your funeral shop?”
Xu Yang nodded, indicating it was fine.
He returned to the funeral shop and asked Ma Xiaotiao and Yue Ya to clean up the hygiene inside.
Soon.
The media arrived.
These media outlets had been arranged by Wang Hou, and they naturally knew what questions to ask and what questions not to ask. Xu Yang had obtained Wang Hou’s prepared “speech” in advance, and faced the barrage of interviews from the media with ease.
On top of that, in his capacity as the “Alliance Leader of the Martial Arts,” he called on all Daoist sects, clans, and families to unite and overcome the difficult times together, defending their homes and country!
Xu Yang also took the opportunity in front of the camera to urge those “degenerate” demons and evil beings to be decent and law-abiding, and not to make a mistake for themselves.
The press conference was broadcast live and soon spread throughout the martial world of Da Xia.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang…
After the press conference, he went to the Spirits Management Bureau’s Wu City Branch Office again. In the “prison” on the underground third floor, he met the werewolf Chris Smith.
“Chris, do you want to live or die?”
This was the first question Xu Yang asked when he saw Chris.
Chris’s head bobbed up and down like a drum…
Who the fuck would want to die when they could live?
Xu Yang smiled and asked, “Do you want to go back?”
Chris hesitated.
Xu Yang took out a large iron hammer and said, “I’ve only traveled abroad once in my life, and it was to deal with the Asura Sect… Now that I’ve reached my current cultivation and have a happy family, I plan to go abroad for a honeymoon. I’d like to ask you, Chris, to be my tour guide. How do you feel about that?”
Chris’s pupils dilated.
“No!”
“Celestial Master Xu…I can’t take you back!”
“They will kill me…They will kill me, I can’t be a traitor!”
“Ding!”
“The werewolf is frightened, merit value +100, physique +1, self-healing power +1.”
“Ding!”
“The werewolf is frightened, merit value +100, physique +1, self-healing power +1.”
“Ding…”
Chris looked frantic. As a warrior of the “werewolf race,” he knew the rules of his tribe better than anyone… If he really took Xu Yang back, his fate would probably be even more miserable than dying in this prison!
He let out a low growl.
His body showed signs of wolf-like transformation, and he suddenly leaped into the air, trying to smash his head against the walls of the cell to commit suicide.
Bang!
Xu Yang didn’t know when he had entered the cell. He struck down with his hammer, sending Chris, who was hurling towards the alloy wall, flying back. He sneered, “You worthless dog, in front of me… do you think you can commit suicide?”
However, Chris lay on the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped breathing.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations host, your werewolf hunting has been successful, reward: Merit value +1000.”
Xu Yang: “…”
Wang Lin rushed into the cell from outside, checked Chris’s breath and said, “Celestial Master Xu… he’s dead!”
Damn it!
I hit him with a hammer to stop him from committing suicide.
But how did I end up killing him?
Xu Yang’s toes curled in embarrassment while maintaining a calm appearance on the surface, saying indifferently: “It doesn’t matter, I killed him on purpose… He has been lurking in Da Xia for years, and although he has never personally killed anyone, the people he has assimilated have caused many deaths. All of this is because of him, so naturally, he must pay a price.”
Wang Lin said: “But Celestial Master Xu, didn’t you say that you wanted Chris to take you to the West and infiltrate the werewolves?”
Xu Yang looked at Wang Lin, thinking in his heart: it’s none of your fucking business.
He smiled and said, “I only killed his body, not his soul… You go out first, and I’ll perform a ritual to condense his soul and turn him into a ghost for control.”
Wang Lin was surprised, “Celestial Master Xu, this guy is from the West… Do Westerners also turn into ghosts after death?”
