"Hahaha, are the people in this county all fools? They believe in such nonsense as Suoyang." Gouwa laughed wildly.
"In the situation where you are influenced by public opinion, you are probably no better off."
When he saw the usually quiet street outside suddenly become lively, he put down the tea in his hand and walked outside.
"Everyone come with me, bring your weapons and stay on the outskirts of the crowd, keep an eye out for any trouble."
It was unclear how Yang Hongzhi had notified them, but the county government office was surrounded by people with fearful expressions. Many people were standing on the walls and roofs.
Thousands of people crowded together, buzzing like a swarm of flies.
Yang Hongzhi secretly approached Li Huowang and excitedly pointed towards him.
"Master, is this enough? Almost every household has sent someone out."
He had just gone back to check and found that his son's manhood had not shrunk.
Looking at the dense crowd beside him, Li Huowang nodded his head, took a few steps and leaped onto the stone lion at the entrance of the county government office.
"Dear people of the county! Don't panic! I'm here to tell you that there is no ghost stealing manhood, you have all been deceived! Suoyang and Suoyin are all fake! It's just a rumor!"
As soon as Li Huowang spoke, the crowd exploded, and everyone began to discuss it.
"Ring ring ring!" The piercing sound of the bell instantly entered everyone's ears, causing them to instinctively cover them.
When the discussion was drowned out by the bell, Li Huowang stopped ringing the bell and threw it to Chun Xiaoman beside him.
Watching everyone slowly release their hands from their ears, Li Huowang thought for a moment and said loudly again, "Everyone! We have inspected the so-called jumping spirit who died from Suoyang! He was only pretending to be dead and has long since disappeared!"
"And think about it, have any of you actually seen someone's manhood shrink into their stomach? Remember, not what someone's son or neighbor said, but what you have personally seen with your own eyes! Have you?!"
Hearing Li Huowang's question, everyone in the county looked hesitant.
Just as Li Huowang thought they would abandon their fear, another strange voice appeared on the scene.
"Yes!" A middle-aged woman with half-white hair, holding her baby in her arms, walked up tremblingly.
She shakily opened layer after layer of clothing, holding up the naked baby in the air to show everyone.
"See for yourselves, my child's manhood has been locked! This man is a fraud! Don't believe him!"Li Huowang carefully examined the woman in front of him. After confirming that she was not a member of the Taoist sects that deceive beings, Li Huowang's gaze turned to the child in her arms.
"Is this your child? The one whose genitals were stolen by an invisible ghost?"
"Yes! Look! Where did his genitals go? Gone!! Wahhh~ My poor ears~~~~" The woman hugged her son and cried loudly.
"Really gone?" Li Huowang looked at the empty space below and his head shook violently.
But the next second, Li Huowang instantly reacted and asked a very ordinary question to the woman with a tear-stained face.
"Excuse me, is there a possibility that your child is a girl?" This looks too natural, it doesn't seem like something that can be done by shrinking.
After saying this, the woman seemed to be frightened and hugged her child, moving towards the crowd.
"You're talking nonsense! My belly was pointed when I was pregnant! How could I have given birth to a worthless daughter! I gave birth to a son!"
After the woman finished speaking, she directly knelt in front of an old man while holding her child, anxiously defending herself. "Master, don't believe him. This is not my fault. I gave birth to a big, fat boy who can carry on the family line. It was the ghost who took away his genitals, it's not my fault."
The woman's words made everyone's faces show a hint of unease. The discussion grew louder and louder.
"Forced to call a daughter a son to avoid being mistreated in her husband's family, why weren't you this smart when facing the Taoist sects that deceive beings?"
As the discussion below grew louder and louder, Li Huowang was just about to stabilize the situation when a scream suddenly erupted from the crowd.
The dense crowd instantly cleared a large area, revealing a beggar in tattered clothes holding a rusty short knife.
In the other person's cries, he forcibly cut off the other person's genitals and hung them on his own body.
The trembling beggar with a unibrow stood up, his face with a sinister smile, looking at everyone around him with fear.
"Hehehe~~~ Genitals~ All the genitals are mine~ With the genitals, I can be reborn~"
Accompanied by his speech, his body actually floated up like a ghost and pounced on another man next to him.
"Ah! Ah!" With the woman's screams, everyone present was in chaos, running away in all directions.
As the man was about to pounce on the other person, one of Li Huowang's fingernails had already shot towards him.
"Clang!" The sound of the nail hitting him made a clear metallic sound.
In the chaotic scene, Li Huowang rushed towards the man's side, and by the time he arrived, several men and women were already lying on the ground."Clang!" Li Huowang charged towards the man with his sword, directly hitting him.

But what Li Huowang didn't expect was that the extremely sharp Purple Spike Sword, as a weapon of the military, did not even break the skin when it hit him, only making a crisp sound.
Gao Zhijian rushed over with heavy footsteps, his Wolf Tooth Club already whirling in his hand.
Under the intertwining of their movements, Li Huowang and the other person fought back and forth.
But the more he came into contact with the person, the more Li Huowang felt that something was wrong, this ghost in front of him was really strange.
If this thing was really a ghost, then it was too strange, right? Ghosts could also be impervious to swords and spears? Even the Exorcising Sword couldn't cut it? And it appeared in broad daylight?
While Li Huowang was trying to figure out how to deal with this person, he felt that the other person blinked at him, and he thought a lot about it.
Under the gaze of the people of the entire Pixin County, they saw the man with the copper coin mask fighting back and forth with the ghost.
Their hearts rose and fell with the progress of the battle.
After a stalemate for about fifteen minutes, Li Huowang directly stabbed the man's chest with his foot.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a yellow talisman from his hand and pasted it on the man's forehead, and everything finally quieted down.
Li Huowang looked around with his sword and said firmly, "You were right, there really is a ghost stealing people's lives, and he is this ghost! Now, I have killed him!"
