Chapter 89: Demonic Cultivators Advised Not to Dine at the Barbecue Shop

At this moment, Lu Yang was unaware that Lan Ting had secured a big deal. He was using the invisibility talisman and concealment techniques, following behind the officials to search for Life-Draining Talismans.

The trio split up in different directions to find as many Life-Draining Talismans as possible.

It was evident that the government placed immense importance on the Life-Draining Talismans, mobilizing a large force to scour Yanjiang County thoroughly.

First, the government identified areas where people were most likely to feel fatigue and drowsiness, dividing the search into sections.

Chief Constable Fang Qingyun even created two clones, with his true body and the clones expanding their divine consciousness to lead a large team in the search for talismans.

Fang Qingyun’s cultivation was too high, so Lu Yang and his companions didn’t dare follow him closely.

Before long, an official found a Life-Draining Talisman. Lu Yang, hiding in the shadows, silently noted the location.

By evening, when Lu Yang and his companions regrouped, they took out a map of Yanjiang County and marked the locations of the Life-Draining Talismans.

“One under the Great Stone Bridge, one at the rogue shop on Qianmen Street, one at the pawnshop... These are the six Life-Draining Talismans we’ve found so far.”

“With just this information, we can’t be sure if they’re arranged according to the Life-Draining Array. Let’s look again tomorrow.”

When the trio returned to the barbecue shop, they saw Lan Ting wearing a tofu mask, focusing on improving the automatic skewering array.

The skewers floated above the table, being seared at high temperatures.

Two ghostly figures knelt on the ground, tearfully thanking Lan Ting for her great kindness and mercy, rescuing them from endless skewering.

Lu Yang was full of questions. What had happened in the less than an afternoon they were out?

“Where did you get this mask?”

Lan Ting, slightly showing off, said, “Oh, it was given by the tofu shop owner you rescued last night. She also proposed holding an event with our barbecue shop during the Spring Harvest Festival.”

“This is the event plan we discussed.”

“I found out yesterday while working that only two ghosts were barbecuing, which was too slow, and some customers were getting impatient. So, I designed this automatic barbecue array, greatly improving efficiency.”

“The automatic barbecue array is an innovation, never before seen. When I return to the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, I can even exchange this for contribution points.”

“The array is also simple; it could potentially be widely promoted in the future.”

The Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, like the Dao Seeking Sect, has similar long-term missions.

Lu Yang: “......”

It seems the rapid development of the barbecue shop was unstoppable.

Meng Jingzhou, grinning, took a tofu mask: “This tofu mask looks quite nice. Here, one for each person. Lu Yang, look how well this tofu mask suits you; it’s as if it was made for you.”F0lloww new chapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com

Yizhang Hong snorted coldly, ignoring Lu Yang.

Yizhang Hong’s companions also squinted their eyes, disdainful to speak with Lu Yang.

Lu Yang transmitted a message to Meng Jingzhou: “Inform Constable Wei, say there are three Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators here, and ask him to bring people to arrest them.”

These rogue demonic cultivators were ruthless killers, and by law, they deserved death several times over. Lu Yang wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

Let’s show them some demonic path methods—report them!

Meng Jingzhou was stunned for a moment before transmitting back: “But we don’t have evidence. How can we prove they’re Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators? Will Constable Wei believe us?”

Lu Yang sneered: “What’s there not to believe? Just say we noticed they have talismans that could induce sleep on them.”

Meng Jingzhou understood Lu Yang’s plan; they had a few Life-Draining Talismans on hand, perfect for framing.

“Alright, I’ll be right back.” Meng Jingzhou hurried out.

When Constable Wei heard that three Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators appeared, possibly possessing Life-Draining Talismans, he didn’t take it lightly and quickly reported to Fang Qingyun.

Without hesitation, Fang Qingyun led a large force to encircle the three.

Whether they had the Life-Draining Talismans or not, just the presence of three Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators justified the response.

Fang Qingyun arrived at the barbecue shop, exerting the pressure of a Golden Core stage cultivator, immobilizing Yizhang Hong and the others, then commanded authoritatively: “Arrest them, search them!”

Before Yizhang Hong and his companions could understand what was happening, they were captured by several Foundation Establishment stage constables and pinned to the ground.

What’s going on? Is eating skewers in Yanjiang County a crime now?

Then, Constable Wei found a large number of Life-Draining Talismans on Yizhang Hong, far more than what Lu Yang had framed him with.

“So it really was you who placed the Life-Draining Array!” Fang Qingyun glared at Yizhang Hong, blaming him for his lack of rest these past few days.

Lu Yang: “......”

Meng Jingzhou: “......”

Wait, could you not be so cooperative?

Yizhang Hong and his companions were even more puzzled. They thought their operation was flawless, leaving no clues. Why did the constables come to arrest them?

Where did the problem lie?
