At this moment, the waiter brought over a pot of Biluochun tea.

“Come, have some tea.”

Xing Yun poured Li Xuanxin a cup of tea and said,

“Recently, the mortal world has not been peaceful. There are demons everywhere and it’s quite dangerous. Young friend, you have to be careful when you come here. However, with this talisman I sold you, as long as you don’t encounter demons with a thousand years of cultivation, staying alive is not a problem.”

Li Xuanxin nodded. The two of them chatted for a while more. Xing Yun seemed to be very talkative. His mouth was like a machine gun, chattering non-stop.

At this moment, a trumpet suddenly sounded from the walkway outside the door.

Everyone looked over.

“The one getting married must be Constable Huang’s daughter.”

“Constable Huang is already in his seventies this year, right? How sinful!”

…

Everyone pointed. Xing Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled.

“A bunch of mortals who can’t see through the truth of the world. How is this marrying? This is courting death.”

Li Xuanxin also glanced at the bridal escort team outside. Her eyes moved slightly.

There was a faint evil aura on the carriage. It seemed that it was most likely not anything good.

Xing Yun drank the last cup of tea and smiled.

“Young friend, we had a good chat today, but I have something to do. I’ll take my leave first. During this period of time, I’ll be in West Shu. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”

Li Xuanxin nodded.

“Senior, take care.”

“Take care, take care. You too.”

Monk Xing Yun walked out of the door with a smile. He passed by the counter and threw a tael of silver to the shopkeeper.

“Keep the money for the tea. I’m leaving.”

The shopkeeper spat.

“What a despicable person!”

At this moment, Li Xuanxin walked in front of the shopkeeper, who put on a smile.

“Little Master, what request do you have?”

“I want to ask if there are any demons around? Or if there are any strange rumors.”

He originally wanted to go to Constable Huang’s house to take a look, but Old Monk Xing Yun should have gone to the Huang family, so there was no need for him to go again.

Moreover, Old Monk Xing Yun had already stepped into the River Realm. His cultivation level exceeded a thousand years. He should be quite a figure in the Shaolin Temple.

Li Xuanxin did not want to expose his cultivation in front of someone like him.

“I’m not sure about the demons, but I heard that the City Lord of Forest River City is gathering cultivators to suppress Old Devil Black Mountain. There are very generous resources as rewards. I heard that many cultivators have gone to register.”

Li Xuanxin nodded and put down a tael of silver.

“Thank you. Here’s the money for the tea.”

“Little Master, you drank cold water. You only need to pay ten copper coins.”

“The rest is the information fee.”

“Little Master is a decent person and straightforward! Unlike that old beggar. I’ll save your money for you. If you come for tea in the future, I’ll deduct it from your account.”

“Boss, you’re welcome.”

Li Xuanxin bid farewell to the boss and rushed towards Forest River City.

…

On the other side, the bridal escort team with Old Man Yang’s daughter also arrived at Constable Huang’s house.

However, the moment he entered, Monk Xing Yun walked over from behind.

There were countless movement techniques in the world. The Shaolin Water Floating Technique was also famous. One could float in the air and move like the wind. It was extremely magical.

“Hahaha… Amitabha, there’s a joyous occasion in the Huang Residence today. This old monk came uninvited.”

In the hall, Constable Huang, who was wearing a groom’s robe and was already past his seventies, was suddenly stunned.

“Master, why have you suddenly come to my Huang Family?”

The old monk entered the hall and entered a meditative state. He raised his hand and said,

“Amitabha. I’m here for Benefactor Huang’s new wife. She cultivated an evil technique and probably wants to harm you.”

“What did you say?”

Constable Huang looked a little surprised. As for the little bride, she suddenly lifted her veil and raised her hand to grab Constable Huang’s neck.

Constable Huang was shocked. Only then did he see that his bride’s ten nails were as black as ink. It was extremely terrifying.

“Evil creature, why aren’t you stopping?”

Xing Yun shouted and raised his hand to send a golden light flying.

“Pfft—!”

The little bride spat out a mouthful of blood.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Constable Huang suddenly attacked. His palm, mixed with a powerful evil power, emitted a dense black light and ruthlessly struck Xing Yun’s ribs.

“Pfft—!”

Xing Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and was instantly sent flying.

Xing Yun vomited blood and flew backward. His body rolled into the courtyard, his expression extremely shocked.

A black nail had already appeared under his arm.

“Soul Burial Nail! This is the Soul Burial Nail of the Three Deities Sect! Why do you have it?”

Constable Huang walked out of the living room with a smile. When he passed by Yang Xiu’er, he crushed her spine with his foot, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood. As she lay on the ground, no one knew if she was dead or alive.

“You can still recognize the Soul Burial Nail. Not bad, you have good judgment. To tell you the truth, I’ve long become a disciple of the Three Deities Sect’s Ancestor Black Mountain and cultivate a Sage Technique.

“My previous concubines, my sons and daughters… were all personally killed by me to help me cultivate my Sage Technique.”

“Unfortunately, their blood essence was too weak, so I deliberately set up this trap to attract righteous cultivators. I didn’t expect to really catch a big fish!”

“Now that you’ve been struck by the Soul Burial Nail, it’s already very fortunate that you can unleash a third of your thousand years of cultivation.”

“Tsk tsk, a senior monk at the River Realm. If I can devour your blood essence, my strength will probably increase greatly. Wonderful, wonderful!”

Xing Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and raised his palm.

“Tathagata Divine Palm!”

“Oh no!”

Constable Huang’s expression changed drastically as he immediately retreated into the living room.

The Tathagata Divine Palm was one of the four top combat techniques of the Buddhist Sect. It was famous throughout the world, so he naturally knew about it.

Even if Xing Yun was struck by the Soul Burial Nail and could only unleash about a third of his strength, the Tathagata Divine Palm he used could not be underestimated.

However, when Constable Huang entered the living room, he did not sense any movement. His expression changed.

“Damn it! I fell for it.”

Xing Yun was severely injured and probably could not use the Tathagata Divine Palm anymore!

When he rushed out, as expected, Xing Yun had already fled.

“Chase! This is a senior monk at the River Realm. His blood vitality is dense. Don’t let him escape. I must drink his blood!”

With a command, a few figures jumped off the wall and followed the direction of the blood.

…

On the other side, Li Xuanxin had also arrived at Forest River City.

Forest River City was built against a mountain and surrounded by water on three sides. To enter Forest River City, one had to take the mountain path in the west and take a boat in the east.

“Sit~ on the boat~”

At this moment, a voice quietly sounded. Li Xuanxin looked over and narrowed his eyes.

With his Dharmic powers at the River Realm, he could instantly see through the illusion.

It was not a ship, but a huge turtle!
