27-35

Chapter 27

In the afternoon, Xia Wuji was practicing his fist and saber techniques.

His fist technique was the Basic Fist Technique and the Ferocious Tiger Fist. His saber technique was the Ferocious Tiger Saber Technique and the Basic Saber Technique.

Although the fist and saber techniques he was practicing were very simple, Xia Wuji was never tired of them.

He liked these simple and direct attacks.

There were no fancy or superfluous movements, only extremely concise attacks.

He believed that this was the true killing technique.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

"May I ask if Young Master Xia Wuji is home?"

A deep middle-aged voice said from outside.

Xia Hu was practicing when Yun Qingyao walked out of the room and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the captain of the Demon Suppression Division's third brigade, Cheng Shan. The Division Head has invited Young Master Xia Wuji to help exterminate the ghosts."

The person outside the door directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Let him in."

Xia Wuji walked out of the courtyard and said to Yun Qingyao at the door.

Yun Qingyao nodded and opened the door.

A middle-aged man with a strong aura stepped in.

Xia Wuji cupped his fists and said, "Captain Cheng."

"Young Master Xia is too polite."

Cheng Shan cupped his fists and said with a smile.

As he said that, he looked at Xia Wuji from head to toe.

He could vaguely feel that Xia Wuji's blood and Qi was vigorous.

However, Xia Wuji's body was tempered to the extreme because he practiced the "Thirty-six Starry Transformations". His aura was restrained and he seemed to have returned to his original state, making him look even more ordinary.

Cheng Shan did not realize that Xia Wuji was already in the Viscera Refining Realm and thought that he was still a Martial Disciple. He could not help but be suspicious.

Could this kid really exterminate ghosts?

He naturally knew that although Xia Wuji's parents were immortal cultivators, he himself could not cultivate and could only practice martial arts. Moreover, he was a dabbler in martial arts. This was nothing new in Blue Moon City.

If Xia Wuji was an immortal cultivator and said that he could exterminate ghosts, he could still somewhat believe it.

After all, immortal cultivators had many unimaginably powerful spells.

However, Xia Wuji was only a martial artist. It was hard to believe that he wanted to exterminate ghosts.

When martial artists exterminated ghosts, they either relied on extremely powerful Qi and blood. However, this kind of method could only exterminate ordinary ghosts. If a ghost turned into a vengeful spirit or even a Vicious Ghost, then martial artists would find it difficult to contend against it.

Otherwise, they could use the talismans and magic tools of cultivators. However, these precious talismans and magic tools required magic power to activate. If a martial artist wanted to activate them, it was said that they had to use a formation.

However, these formations also consumed a lot of energy.

On the other hand, although Xia Wuji's aura was exuberant, it was obscure. He should still be a Martial Disciple.

Therefore, if Xia Wuji wanted to exterminate ghosts, he could only rely on talismans and magic tools. The price to pay was not small.

Xia Wuji invited Cheng Shan into the living room and invited him to take a seat. Yun Qingyao consciously served him tea.

Cheng Shan went straight to the point and said, "The Director-General heard that Young Master Xia could exterminate ghosts and specially ordered me to invite you."

"Of course, the Demon Suppression Department will not treat Young Master Xia unfairly. For every ordinary ghost you kill, you will receive ten taels of silver. For Vicious Ghosts, you will receive five hundred taels of silver. For Vicious Ghosts, you will receive eight hundred taels of silver. If you kill a Demon Ghost, you will receive two thousand taels of silver. What do you think, Young Master Xia?"

Xia Wuji's heart stirred.

Two thousand taels of silver was actually not a small amount. It was equivalent to four low-grade spirit stones.

However, his expression did not change. He smiled slightly and said, "By right, as a citizen of Blue Moon City, if the Demon Suppression Department has any orders, I should go. However, I am currently in a critical period of my cultivation, so …"

Cheng Shan frowned slightly.

However, when he thought of the bottom line that the Director-General had given him before he left and specially ordered him to invite Xia Wuji over no matter what, Cheng Shan said again, "If Young Master Xia is willing to go, the reward can be doubled."

Cheng Shan believed that since the Director-General had repeatedly ordered him to invite Xia Wuji over, the Director-General must know what kind of powerful magical tools or talismans Xia Wuji had.

Therefore, he might as well throw out his final trump card.

He did not believe that such a high reward would not be able to attract this Young Master of Xia family.

Xia Wuji shook his head slightly and opened his mouth to say something. Cheng Shan frowned slightly and continued, "This is the greatest promise that our Demon Suppression Department can make."

Xia Wuji smiled and said, "This is not a matter of money."

Cheng Shan's face darkened slightly, thinking that Xia Wuji would continue to refuse.

If Xia Wuji refused, he would not be able to report back to the Director-General.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xia Wuji say, "Since Captain Cheng has said so, then it would be unreasonable for me to refuse."

Cheng Shan was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

Although Xia Wuji was still a youth who had yet to turn twenty, he still had some insight and knew that there were some things that could not be refused.

"Since that is the case, then I will take my leave first. I will wait for you at the Demon Suppression Department."

Cheng Shan stood up and said.

"Don't worry, Captain Cheng. This one will go there tonight."

Xia Wuji stood up and cupped his fists.

Cheng Shan nodded, then turned and walked out.

It came quickly and left quickly as well, clean and tidy.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared through the doorway.

"You're going to exterminate ghosts tonight?"

Yun Qingyao put down the teapot in her hand and looked at Xia Wuji, who was looking outside with his hands behind his back.

"Yes." Xia Wuji turned his head. "What is it?"

"Why don't you take me with you? I want to experience it. "

Yun Qingyao said with sparkling eyes.

"No way!"

Xia Wuji rejected her without even thinking about it.

What kind of joke was this? It was not easy for him to wake up last time and his body had just recovered.

If he were to encounter a ghost again, then … who would do the chores at home?

"I won't be a burden to you …"

Yun Qingyao still wanted to argue, but Xia Wuji mercilessly rejected her. "That still won't do! Stay at home obediently. When I earn some money, I will buy you two … no, three pieces of wine-filled candied haws. "

After saying that, he walked out.

Eh? Why three pieces of wine-filled candied haws?

Yun Qingyao blinked her big eyes.

I can't eat that much by myself.

Then she shouted from behind, "I don't need that much. I can't finish it."

"It's not like it's for you alone." Xia Wuji did not even turn his head. "There are three people in our family. Of course, one for each of us."

His voice drifted over slowly.

"…"

Yun Qingyao opened her mouth and her expression froze.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was night time.

When the lanterns were lit, the streets began to bustle with activity.

Rouge Square was located in the southern part of the city. It was a collective name that covered the Moon Lake and the seven brothels on its shores.

Other than the brothels, no other businesses were allowed here. It seemed like there were too few businesses, but it was actually the biggest money-squandering establishment in Blue Moon City.

It was said that the owner behind Rouge Square was the City Lord's residence. Therefore, even the big gangs did not dare to touch this place.

Cheng Shan and a group of subordinates led Xia Wuji over from the west side of the arched bridge and corridor. They walked straight to a pleasure boat on the shore of the Moon Lake.

All the gaily-painted pleasure boats were lit, but this one was pitch black.

It was not that they did not want to light up, but that they could not.

Speaking of which, it was strange. This pleasure boat called Xiuyue could be lit up at will during the day, but at night, it could not be lit no matter what.

Cheng Shan and the others turned the three levels of the pleasure boat upside down during the day, but they could not find any reason.

When Xia Wuji heard this news, he was also surprised. There was actually such a strange thing.

Cheng Shan and the others had asked Xia Wuji to come here. Firstly, they wanted to test if he really had the ability to destroy ghosts. Secondly, they hoped to find out the reason.

Of course, they had to pay more.

Chapter 28

According to Cheng Shan, there was no ghost on this pleasure boat, but this kind of strange thing was hard to solve.

One must know that this three-story pleasure boat was not cheap. It was said that it was worth at least five hundred thousand taels of silver. It would be a pity to waste it here.

Xia Wuji walked to the Moon Lake and looked at the Xiuyue pleasure boat docked on the shore. He looked around and looked at the somewhat foggy sky.

There was something indescribable in the air tonight. It seemed a little cold, but there seemed to be something in the air that made people a little excited.

Cheng Shan's ten subordinates all had a look of yearning and excitement on their faces, making Xia Wuji feel a little strange.

But when he followed their line of sight and looked at the dazzling pleasure boats on the Moon Lake, he did not feel strange anymore.

The pleasure boats were bustling with noise and excitement. Melodious music, cheers, and laughter could be heard from the top of the boats.

Drinking and exchanging cups, spending a lot of money, soft fragrance in the arms, wantonly living life …

Xia Wuji shook his head in his heart: This is not life, this is self-indulgence, squandering one's life. He turned to look at the Xiuyue pleasure boat in front of him and asked, "Did something happen to this pleasure boat before?"

"I didn't hear about it." Cheng Shan shook his head. "This thing happened very strangely. The evening before yesterday, the girls of Hua Xiangrong came on the boat to welcome the guests, but at night, they found that the Xiuyue pleasure boat could not be lit. They were all scared and got off the boat. Fortunately, no one was injured."

"But since the night before yesterday, the girls no longer dared to stay on the boat. Even some of the necessities were taken off the boat during the day. Our people checked it many times during the day, but found nothing. "

"Last night, we lit the boat but still could not light it. So tonight, we want to invite Young Master Xia to take a look and see if he can find anything."

If nothing was found tonight, Cheng Shan could only report to the Demon Suppression Department and ask the immortals of the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion to come forward.

Although the immortals of the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion were all in the Qi Refining Realm, they were all people with powerful magic power and extremely respected status. Normally, if there was no important matter, the Demon Suppression Department could not trouble them.

Over the past few days, there had been too many Ferocious Ghosts and Ghost Demons in Blue Moon City, wreaking havoc everywhere. The Heavenly Eagle Pavilion's Immortals had their hands full.

It was indeed strange that Rouge Workshop's pleasure boats could not be lit. However, compared to the ferocious ghosts and devils that wreaked havoc everywhere at night, such a small matter was somewhat insignificant.

Xia Wuji nodded and said, "Let's go in."

"Alright," said Cheng Shan. Everyone, follow me. "

With that said, he took the lead and boarded the Xiuyue pleasure boat. Xia Wuji followed closely behind, and the others also entered in a single file.

The sky was a little gloomy tonight. The moon was covered by clouds, and the surroundings were very dark.

Fortunately, everyone was a martial artist and had excellent eyesight. Even if they entered the interior of the pleasure boat, they would not be blinded and unable to see anything clearly.

However, the light was too weak, and the interior of the pleasure boat was even darker. Everyone could not see too far.

After entering the interior of the pleasure boat, Xia Wuji discovered that the decoration was indeed extremely luxurious. Whether it was the doors, windows, or furniture, they were all made of the best sandalwood. The carvings on them were lifelike and extremely exquisite.

Some bronze and gold lamps were also sparkling, spotless.

The exquisitely carved chairs were cushioned with white fur, hanging from the back of the chair all the way to the feet.

The tea set on the tea table was carved from white jade, neatly placed on an exquisitely carved tea tray.

It could be said to be extremely luxurious.

Xia Wuji walked around the first floor of the pleasure boat and did not find anything out of the ordinary. He then entered the next floor, which was the second floor.

The second floor was even more luxuriously decorated than the first floor. This was a large hall, and the furniture inside was wrapped in gold leather and inlaid with fine jade.

However, he still did not find anything on this floor, so he entered the third floor.

The third floor was filled with rooms, exactly twelve of them.

These twelve rooms were decorated in different styles. Some were elegant, some were luxurious, and some were exotic. However, they all had one thing in common, and that was that everything inside looked extremely luxurious.

"As expected of a money-squandering establishment!"

Xia Wuji sighed.

Not to mention the company of beautiful women, fine wine, fine food, and all kinds of high-class expenses, just staying in these luxurious rooms for a night would cost a lot.

He tried to light a lamp.

Just as Cheng Shan said, the flint could not be lit.

It was as if there was a powerful force here that was suppressing the birth of the flame.

Cheng Shan saw that Xia Wuji could not strike the flint and was not surprised. He asked, "Young Master Xia, did you find anything?"

Xia Wuji shook his head and did not say anything.

He looked around carefully and did not find anything else. He said, "Let's go down."

Then he went downstairs, and Cheng Shan and the rest followed.

However, when they reached the second floor, Xia Wuji suddenly felt a cold aura spread over. The temperature of the pleasure boat dropped rapidly, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Xia Wuji was shocked. He hurriedly turned to ask Cheng Shan if he felt anything.

However, when he turned around, he saw that Cheng Shan and the rest looked normal. He could not help but be stunned.

"Captain Cheng, did you find anything?"

"No." Cheng Shan shook his head. "Young Master Xia, did you find something new?"

Xia Wuji stared at Cheng Shan for a second, then shook his head and said, "No."

However, at this moment, he was puzzled.

Cheng Shan and the rest did not notice such an obvious change. This in itself was extremely illogical.

In other words, if there was not a problem with them, then there was a problem with him.

Vaguely, he felt that there was a problem with this space.

An even colder aura was approaching.

However, his expression did not change. He pretended to look around casually, then said indifferently, "Since there is nothing, let's go."

As he spoke, the temperature dropped rapidly. The extremely cold aura was approaching rapidly, as if it would swallow them in an instant.

However, Cheng Shan and the rest were still unaware. They looked around as usual.

Xia Wuji's heart moved, and the Ghost Domain appeared.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in the Ghost Domain.

With a thought, the Ghost King appeared.

It cackled, "Kekeke, tell me, how many times do you want to die!"

The black shadow instantly revealed its original ghost form. It was a monster full of tentacles. It looked like there were twenty or thirty of them. They danced up and down, and the tentacles were all covered with eyes. It was hideous and terrifying.

The Ghost King grabbed it.

The tentacle ghost was terrified. It let out a terrified cry that only the soul could hear. "Ah ~ ~ Ghost King!"

It wanted to struggle with all its might, but unfortunately, it could not move under the Ghost King's power.

The Ghost King's clone grabbed the tentacle ghost effortlessly. The tentacle ghost could not resist at all and was crushed into a ball. It opened its mouth and quickly turned into a black stream of air that was swallowed by the Ghost King.

Buzz ~ ~ ~

Xia Wuji felt that the Ghost King's clone's ghost body had become stronger. The Ghost Domain suddenly expanded by three feet, reaching a radius of four feet.

From the moment the tentacle ghost appeared to the moment it was swallowed by the Ghost King's clone, the time was very short.

As experts of the Demon Suppression Department, Cheng Shan and the rest naturally knew. However, they were indifferent. They continued to look around as if they did not notice the scene just now.

However, with the Ghost King's clone, Xia Wuji could still feel the "fear" of Cheng Shan and the rest.

Fear?

He walked over. The four-foot Ghost Domain quickly enveloped Cheng Shan and the rest.

It was only now that Cheng Shan and the rest were terrified. They looked at the black-robed Ghost King floating beside Xia Wuji and trembled.

Xia Wuji looked at Cheng Shan and the rest quietly. There was no pity in his expression.

Because only now did he realize that Cheng Shan and the rest were completely lifeless. Their bodies were empty. Their organs, muscles, bones, and blood had all been eaten by something. What was walking was only a sheet of human skin.

In other words, they were not humans, but ghosts.

As for when they became ghosts, Xia Wuji was not very sure.

He guessed that it must have happened after they boarded the ship.

However, this did not stop him from killing these ghosts.

The Ghost King's clone seemed to be very excited about swallowing ghosts. The Ghost King's clone laughed again. "Kekeke, tell me, how many times do you want to die!"

With a grab of the hand, the ghosts hidden in the human skin were all pulled out by the Ghost King. Like night birds returning to their nest, they all turned into black gas and entered the Ghost King's mouth.

The Ghost Body was strengthened again, and the Ghost Domain expanded a little.

However, it was only a little and could be ignored. Compared to the big ghost just now, it was on a completely different level.

Without the ghosts, Cheng Shan and the rest turned into human skin. In the end, they turned into powder and scattered on the floor with their clothes.

Chapter 29

Xia Wuji casually touched Cheng Shan and the rest's pockets, adding up to only a little more than thirty taels of silver.

It was better than nothing.

He didn't mind and casually put it away.

Without Cheng Shan and the rest as witnesses, the merit of killing the ghost was gone.

However, it was not a loss to be able to let the Ghost King's clone improve further.

Although he killed the ghost, he knew that things were not over yet.

Xia Wuji strolled down the second floor and returned to the first floor.

The Ghost King followed beside him, the Ghost Domain still enveloping the surroundings.

In the Ghost Domain, the world he saw was somewhat different from the outside world.

At this moment, the space outside seemed to be distorted, constantly changing.

He had already guessed the real reason why he couldn't light the lamp.

It wasn't that he couldn't light the lamp, but that he didn't light it at all.

The sparks from the flint and the wick were not in the same place, how could he light it?

Everyone was deceived.

And the deceitful thing was on the lowest floor of the pleasure boat.

Which was the cabin.

At the entrance of the cabin, looking at the dark cabin below, Xia Wuji hesitated for a moment, but only for a second, this trace of hesitation was thrown to the back of his mind.

He stepped in … …

Buzz ~ ~ ~

His soul suddenly went into a trance.

He felt as if he was in another time and space.

His vision blurred, and a beautiful woman as gentle as water appeared, looking at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

Her skin was white and tender, breaking with a flick of a finger. Her face was beautiful, like a peach blossom dripping dew, delicate and alluring.

Xia Wuji sighed in his heart: Good fellow, even the Ghost Domain didn't work.

This was too realistic!

He raised his hand and punched at lightning speed, directly hitting this delicate face.

Bang!

The beautiful face instantly burst with blood, blooming like a peach blossom.

Deng deng deng … …

The stunning beauty retreated a few steps, covered in blood, looking at him in disbelief.

She roared, "Why? Why did you hit me? "

Xia Wuji laughed, "No reason, I just don't like you, who asked you to block my eyes."

"Don't like me?"

The woman was stunned.

This was the first time she heard of it.

"I, Xiuyue, am the number one beauty of Moon Lake. How many men have fallen head over heels for me? How dare you say that you don't like me?"

As she spoke, her face changed and returned to normal. The beautiful face of a peerless beauty appeared in front of Xia Wuji once more.

"Xiuyue?"

Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly recalled that the name of this pleasure boat was' Xiu Yue '.

This Xiu Yue was most likely a courtesan in the past. That was the only reason why the pleasure boat was named after her.

He shook his head slightly and said, "That's all in the past, and what does that have to do with you now? You're just an obsession. "

'Xiuyue' was stunned. "How did you know?"

Xia Wuji could not help but laugh. The monster's brain was indeed different from that of a normal human's.

"In Rouge House, how can there be such a beautiful woman hiding in the dark cabin at night, not lighting the lanterns or going out to receive customers?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and raised his hand to deliver another punch.

However, there was a huge difference between this punch and the previous one.

This punch was as powerful as a ferocious tiger with boundless strength.

Above Xia Wuji's head, a pair of huge tiger eyes appeared. In an instant, the tiger's might was unparalleled!

The Ghost King's clone laughed as if it was interrogating the soul. "Kekeke, tell me, how many times do you want to die!"

A huge soul pressure pressed down.

Xiuyue's expression changed abruptly, as if her soul had been locked down.

The moment it locked down, the powerful punch blew her up on the spot. Her physical body was shattered, and the Ghost King's clone grabbed her remaining soul and swallowed it.

The energy of the shattered soul also returned to the Ghost King's clone in an instant like a swallow returning to its nest.

Buzz —

The Ghost King's body instantly solidified, and its black ghost fingernails were as sharp as knives.

The Ghost Realm expanded rapidly, expanding to a radius of ten feet in an instant.

The space rippled for a while, then calmed down.

Everything in front of him returned to normal and became clear.

A scene appeared in Xia Wuji's mind —

On the third day of the third month, the peach blossoms on the shore of the Moon Lake were as red as fire, forming a huge garland around the Moon Lake. Dozens of golden pleasure boats floated on the Moon Lake. The pleasure boats were filled with singing and dancing, drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.

This kind of liveliness often lasted until late at night.

But at night, it was raining. The rain was as dense as mist, and one would only notice it when one's clothes were wet.

Xiuyue stood at the bow of the pleasure boat. Behind her, a handsome man hugged her, letting her head gently rest on his broad chest.

Holding a glass of wine in his hand, he said sweet words of love. Unknowingly, he was already drunk.

The wet feeling on his face was unknown whether it was tears from being moved, or the condensation of the spring rain on his face. It was hard to tell if it was real or fake, just like the person beside him.

That night, they tossed and turned, going crazy as they wanted.

After waking up and opening her eyes, Xiuyue, who didn't have time to savor the aftertaste, felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

In the weak light of the morning sun, she saw a giant python coiled on her wide bed.

The giant python opened its eyes and looked at her with those cold eyes. Its snake tongue stuck out, and then it swam out of the window, disappearing into the water.

When it left, Xiuyue clearly saw the two pink snake whips still hanging on the giant python's body.

The originally sweet pink color was so dazzling in Xiuyue's eyes.

Thinking of the crazy drunkenness last night, Xiuyue's face was flushed with shame. She couldn't accept this fact, so she jumped into the Moon Lake and was swallowed by the River God in the Moon Lake.

However, the ghost formed by the strong resentment became one with the River God from then on.

Xia Wuji opened his eyes and saw a huge clam with a diameter of three meters on the floor of the cabin.

This was the River God!

Xia Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly.

This River God had probably become a spirit and had the Sea Serpent Qi. It happened to merge with Xiuyue's ghost, so it had such a strong hallucinogenic ability.

At this moment, the two shells of the River God were open. The edges were broken, and there was nothing inside. There was no physical body, but there was a round grayish-white pearl, about the size of a baby's fist.

The space around the pearl was faintly distorted, and if one looked at it for a long time, they would fall into an illusion.

The Sea Serpent Pearl!

Xia Wuji's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out to grab it.

This was an extremely valuable item!

Just this item alone made this trip worth it.

Putting away the Sea Serpent Pearl, Xia Wuji secretly pondered.

The last time he killed the evil ghost in the dilapidated Taoist temple on the Ten Mile Slope outside the city, it had sex with a snake spirit before committing suicide.

This time, it was also Xiuyue from Rouge House who had sex with a snake spirit before committing suicide.

Both times it was a snake spirit …

This was a bit too much of a coincidence.

However, this was something that happened a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to delve into it.

But he was interested in why there were so many ghosts in Blue Moon City.

After all, it was impossible for every ghost to have sex with a snake spirit before committing suicide. There must be some unknown reason.

Xia Wuji returned to the upper deck and lit the lights.

When the lights on Xiuyue's pleasure boat were lit, someone in the brothel by the shore immediately noticed.

Chapter 30

"Wow, the lights are on! The demon is gone! "

"Quick, ladies, let's go take a look. Maybe we'll be able to open for business tonight."

A group of beautiful women dressed in thin silk gowns, led by a middle-aged but still charming gorgeous woman, swaying their slender waists as they walked towards the Xiuyue Pleasure Boat with quick steps.

Xia Wuji lit up a total of 36 lamps on this floor one after another, making this floor as bright as day.

The golden porcelain lamps emitted a golden glow under the light.

"Wow, it's a handsome guy!"

As soon as the gorgeous woman entered the hall, she saw Xia Wuji and immediately cried out in an exaggerated manner. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling and sparkling.

The group of beautiful women were mostly over 16 years old. When they looked at Xia Wuji, their eyes were also bright, rippling with extraordinary splendor.

So handsome!

It was as if Xia Wuji's entire body was emitting strong male hormones, causing others to be intoxicated.

Xia Wuji looked at the group of beautiful women and smiled.

They were indeed very beautiful.

But Little Qiuyue at home … Yes, Qingyao was just as beautiful, and even more ethereal. She was much more interesting than these rouge girls. At least … she could wash dishes.

In terms of taste, it seemed that the beautiful woman leading the group was even more so.

Xia Wuji turned his gaze to the beautiful woman walking over.

This woman looked to be about 30 years old. She had the beautiful charm of a mature woman. She looked like a ripe peach that could be squeezed out with just a pinch.

The beautiful woman saw Xia Wuji staring at her and was immediately delighted. She tried her best to emit her charm to the greatest extent.

"How should I address you, little husband?"

The woman asked sweetly.

As she spoke, she gently twisted her waist. The light pink gauze dress slipped from her shoulders. The light pink ribbon also slipped at the same time, revealing her smooth, white, and alluring shoulders.

The woman's mesmerizing eyes looked at Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji looked at the woman's exposed shoulders and the light pink ribbon that slipped down. He couldn't help but sigh. Her old shoulders were indeed very slippery!

However, the more beautiful a woman was, the more dangerous she was.

He couldn't see through her cultivation, but he could feel a special aura coming from her body.

This special aura made one's heart palpitate.

Xia Wuji judged that this woman was not an ordinary person!

He retracted his gaze from her shoulder and turned to look at the woman's eyes. Her eyes were clear, and there was no trace of lust in them.

The woman was slightly taken aback.

Logically speaking, at this age, he should be full of vigor and vigor. Even with her seduction technique, she actually couldn't seduce him.

This was the first time she had met such a young man.

With her experience in reading people, she could tell that Xia Wuji was not pretending.

"I am Xia Wuji."

Xia Wuji cupped his fists and asked, "How should I address you, sister?"

"Xue Yi."

The woman opened her mouth and said, "You can call me Sister Xueyi."

"Sister Xueyi, you came at the right time. I have something to say."

Xia Wuji said.

"Please come with me."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.

Xue Yi's eyes lit up. She then said to the group of orioles and swallows, "Wait here."

"Yes."

The group of beauties responded charmingly.

Xue Yi revealed her shoulders and swayed her waist. She followed Xia Wuji into the inner room in a flirtatious manner.

Only when she was inside did she realize that she had thought wrongly.

Standing at the staircase, Xia Wuji pointed at the huge shell below and said, "This is the culprit that caused the entire pleasure boat to be unable to light up. I have already killed him."

"River God?"

Xue Yi was shocked.

She then walked down the stairs.

However, she stopped halfway and then walked up again. She grabbed Xia Wuji's arm and blinked. "Brother, sister is afraid of the dark. Can you accompany sister down?"

Xia Wuji was speechless.

Her shoulders were indeed slippery!

When I went down just now, I didn't see any trace of panic on your face.

This woman was obviously harboring evil intentions!

However, there was no change in his expression. He smiled and said, "Sure. Sister, please. "

Then he walked down the stairs, followed by Xue Yi. Her soft body touched Xia Wuji intentionally or unintentionally.

Unfortunately, Xia Wuji didn't seem to feel anything.

Xue Yi glanced at Xia Wuji with some resentment.

When they reached the bottom, Xue Yi looked at the shell carefully and frowned slightly. "It shouldn't be like this. Why is there only a shell left?"

Xia Wuji said, "It has a Mirage Pearl. I put it away."

There was no need for him to hide this kind of thing, so he told her directly.

"A Mirage Pearl?"

Xue Yi's eyes lit up. "Can you show it to me?"

"Sure."

Xia Wuji said.

Then he took out the Mirage Pearl the size of a baby's fist from his storage bag and handed it over.

Xue Yi's eyes lit up when she saw the Mirage Pearl.

She took it and looked at it carefully. Then she raised her head and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do with this Mirage Pearl?"

This was Xia Wuji's trophy. Of course, it was up to Xia Wuji to deal with it.

Xia Wuji said with a smile, "Of course I'm going to sell it."

Xue Yi's heart skipped a beat. She blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked with a smile, "How much are you going to sell it for?"

Xia Wuji shook his head. "I don't know. I'm going to sell such a big Mirage Pearl to the Vientiane Tower or the Wanfu House for auction."

Xue Yi smiled like a flower and said with charming eyes, "Why don't you sell this Mirage Pearl to me? Don't worry. I won't treat you badly. You can have whatever you want. "

She deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

"I see." Xia Wuji touched his chin and seemed to be thinking. Then he said, "I want Spirit Stones, preferably of good quality."

In his memory, his predecessor had heard his father, Xia Chenxiao, mention that the higher the quality of the Spirit Stones, the more powerful and pure the energy it contained.

But so far, he hadn't seen any Spirit Stones of higher quality. If he had, he naturally hoped to compare them and see which Spirit Stone the black cauldron used to get more Green Qi.

Xue Yi frowned slightly. "Is this guy a block of wood? He is so insensitive. "

Then she asked, "How many Spirit Stones do you need?"

Xia Wuji said with a smile, "I wonder how much Sister Xue Yi is willing to pay?"

Xue Yi rolled her eyes at him and thought, "This guy is so cunning. He actually kicked the ball back to me."

"Well, according to the market price, such a treasure should be sold for at least 300 low-grade Spirit Stones."

Xue Yi looked at the Mirage Pearl in her hand and said after thinking for a moment.

She raised her head and looked at Xia Wuji. "You see …"

Xia Wuji shook his head. "300 low-grade Spirit Stones are a bit too little. Forget it. I'd better take it back and put it there first. I'll deal with it when I have time. "

Xue Yi stared at him and said with a sweet smile, "Now it is in my hands. Do you think you can take it back?"

Xia Wuji smiled and said casually, "You will give it back to me."

"What if I say no?"

Xue Yi continued to smile. As she spoke, she held the Mirage Pearl tightly.

"Want to dine and dash?"

Xia Wuji raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Then I will kill you."

As he spoke, an invisible overbearing momentum began to rise.

Chapter 31

Xia Wuji stared at the woman in front of him and locked his eyes on her.

Although this woman was very beautiful, there was a trace of demon aura on her body. Although it was very faint, he had the Ghost King's clone and was extremely sensitive to auras. He could tell from the beginning.

In other words, Xue Yi was very likely not a human, but a demon!

How could he have any improper thoughts about a demon?

Xue Yi didn't know that Xia Wuji had doubts about her identity. Seeing Xia Wuji's aura rise in the blink of an eye and lock on to her, she was a little surprised.

She blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, "Are you kidding?"

Xia Wuji shook his head and said indifferently, "No, I never joke."

Xue Yi's face sank slightly and a trace of anger rose in her heart.

However, this trace of anger came and went as quickly as it came.

Although the young man in front of her didn't have a clear cultivation and was only a martial artist, she faintly felt a trace of danger.

There weren't many people in Blue Moon City who could make her feel danger.

But the young man in front of her could make her feel a trace of danger, which was enough to explain some problems.

Although this mirage pearl was very important to her, she didn't want to take the risk and didn't need to take the risk.

As long as it was something that could be solved with money, it was not a big deal for her.

There were many rich people in Blue Moon City and she could earn more money after spending it.

Xue Yi threw a coquettish glance at Xia Wuji and said, "I'm just joking with you. How could I covet my little brother's things?"

Xia Wuji nodded slightly but didn't say anything.

Xue Yi was a little helpless and could only say, "How about this? 1,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. Don't worry, this is definitely a very high price in Blue Moon City. Of course, I can't guarantee anything outside of Blue Moon City. It may be low or high. "

Xia Wuji withdrew his aura and said, "Deal."

Xue Yi didn't expect Xia Wuji to agree so readily. This was completely different from the overbearing aura he suddenly showed just now.

But since Xia Wuji was so straightforward, she didn't need to say anything else. She immediately took out 600 low-grade Spirit Stones from the storage bag at her waist.

"I only have 600 low-grade Spirit Stones for the time being. How about I pay the rest with banknotes?"

"Sure."

Xia Wuji took the Spirit Stones and put them into his storage bag. In fact, the Spirit Stones entered the black cauldron inside his body in the blink of an eye and quickly turned into green gas.

Xue Yi's expression was a little strange. She was secretly guessing why Xia Wuji wanted so many spirit stones.

Martial artists were unable to absorb the Spirit Qi in Spirit Stones unless they had other cultivators in their family.

Or perhaps it was used to set up formations.

But since she had given it to him, she didn't think too much about it.

He then took out a stack of banknotes and handed it over, "According to Blue Moon City's market price, five hundred and fifty taels of banknotes can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone. Four hundred low-grade spirit stones are exactly two hundred and twenty thousand taels of banknotes. You can count them."

Xia Wuji took it and counted it in front of him.

This transaction could be said to be a fruitful one. He was in a good mood, his eyes were shining, and a smile bloomed on his face.

Xue Yi quietly touched her face.

Was his face really that old?

Such a beautiful face couldn't attract this young man in the slightest. It was as if the banknotes in his hand were far more beautiful.

Xue Yi felt like she had failed.

"I remember that there were also people from the Demon Suppression Department on the ship. Where are they?"

Xue Yi asked.

"They are upstairs."

Xia Wuji put away the banknotes and looked up.

"Why aren't they coming down?"

Xue Yi asked.

Xia Wuji shook his head. "They can't come down."

Xue Yi was stunned. "They can't come down? What's going on? "

"Sister Xue Yi, you'll know when you go up. Please. "

With that, Xia Wuji gestured for her to go up.

Xue Yi turned and walked up the stairs. Xia Wuji followed behind.

Looking at Xue Yi's swaying waist and plump buttocks, Xia Wuji's eyes flickered.

This woman had her back to him, leaving her open. It was almost as if she was defenseless. And at such a close distance, he felt confident that he could blow her up with one punch.

But he didn't have any plans to kill demons.

Although he suspected that Xue Yi might be a demon, it was just a suspicion.

Besides, even if she was a demon, she didn't have any evil intentions towards him. Why should he do something unnecessary?

Blue Moon City had the City Lord's Mansion, the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion and Fairy Pavilion, which were guarded by the imperial court. There were so many immortals here. He didn't believe that no one would discover that Xue Yi from Rouge District was a demon.

The waters of Blue Moon City were very deep.

Therefore, Xia Wuji didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. He only wanted to raise his cultivation so that he wouldn't be eaten alive in this world where demons and ghosts ran rampant.

As soon as they reached the first floor, a group of beautiful women surrounded them. They looked at Xue Yi and Xia Wuji with strange expressions.

So fast?

Xue Yi immediately knew what these women were thinking. She rolled her eyes flirtatiously and said, "I'll go upstairs and take a look. You guys stay downstairs."

"Yes."

The group of beautiful women responded charmingly.

When they reached the second floor, Xue Yi was shocked when she saw the clothes and powder in them. She blurted out, "Devil!"

Xia Wuji was stunned. "What devil?"

Xue Yi's expression was somewhat grave as she said, "Only Ghost Demons can completely devour a person's physical essence and soul."

She then looked at Xia Wuji with a puzzled expression. "You're with them. How can you be fine?"

Xia Wuji spread his hands. "How would I know? Maybe the ghosts are afraid of me."

"Ghosts are afraid of people?"

Xue Yi sneered. "You can only fool children with those words."

"If ghosts are afraid of people, there wouldn't be so many deaths. You must have something on you that the ghosts are afraid of or afraid of, that's why it's like this. "

Xia Wuji didn't comment.

He then said to Xue Yi, "I'll have to trouble Sister Xue Yi to inform the Demon Suppression Department and have them send someone here. I need to explain the situation here in person."

Cheng Shan and the others had died mysteriously on Xiuyue's pleasure boat. It was necessary for him to come with them and explain the situation.

Xue Yi didn't make things difficult for him. "Okay."

With that, she turned and left.

Xia Wuji didn't know what method she would use to inform the Demon Suppression Department, but he knew that the Rouge Workshop must have a special way of communicating with these special departments.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to arrive.

A young man in embroidered robes in his thirties, a middle-aged man in his forties in short black robes, and two blade-wielding attendants arrived.

Xia Wuji had just met the young man in brocade and the middle-aged man in black at the Demon Suppression Department.

The young man in embroidered robes was the Demon Suppression Department's secretary, Tan Jian, and the middle-aged man was the second brigade's commander, Xiao Sanlang.

Xia Wuji walked forward and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Sir Secretary."

He then cupped his fists at the middle-aged man. "Captain Xiao."

Tan Jian didn't say anything. He frowned as he looked at the robes and medallions on the ground. His expression was somewhat gloomy.

"It's the devil again!"

He turned to Xia Wuji, his gaze like lightning. "They're all dead. How come you're fine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Sanlang beside him exploded with a terrifying aura. His body swayed, and his large hands stretched out like eagle claws toward Xia Wuji.

Chapter 32

Xiao Sanlang, also known as Xiao Tie Shou, was extremely skilled in martial arts. If an ordinary expert was caught by him, they would either have a hole in their body or be killed on the spot.

Xia Wuji narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp.

He did not expect that the first thing these two people would do when they arrived was to attack him.

He took a step forward and stomped on the ground, causing the entire ship to shake violently.

He punched out.

Tiger Descends the Mountain!

Xiao Sanlang's face was filled with disdain.

The momentum was not small, but the Tiger Fist was only an ordinary martial art.

Trying to block his Iron Eagle Grappling Hand with an ordinary Tiger Fist was simply a dream …

But at this moment, Xiao Sanlang's expression changed. Even Tan Jian's expression changed.

Xia Wuji punched out. Everyone present could faintly hear the roar of a tiger in the forest. Then, a pair of terrifying tiger eyes appeared above Xia Wuji's head. It was so lifelike that it caused fear in people's hearts.

Fist Force!

He had actually mastered Force!

He had revealed the essence of the Ferocious Tiger Fists!

This kind of Force that only the masters of the Martial Taoist sect could master was actually mastered by a young man!

The Tiger Fist was an ordinary martial art, but in Xia Wuji's hands, it displayed a terrifying power.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Wuji's fist landed on Xiao Sanlang's iron hand like lightning.

Crack!

Xiao Sanlang immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain.

His fingers were broken and his wrist bone was broken.

His body flew backwards. If Tan Jian had not suddenly intervened, he would have broken the boat's window and fallen into the lake.

Clang!

The two followers immediately drew their swords and were about to step forward.

Xiao Sanlang was shocked. At the same time, a murderous aura appeared on his face. He used his left hand to draw his sword.

Not only was he skilled in martial arts, he was also a left-handed swordsman.

Xia Wuji's eyes suddenly turned cold. He clenched his fists and a murderous aura rose.

Give him an inch and he wants a mile!

Since they dared to attack again, they should be prepared to die!

Once they attacked, he wouldn't hold back in the slightest and would kill them with a single strike.

He even wondered if he should kill Tan Jian as well.

According to his own judgment, once he released the Ghost King's clone, he was sure that he would have enough time to kill the four of them while they were distracted.

The battle was about to begin.

At this moment.

"Enough!"

Tan Jian shouted coldly.

Xiao Sanlang and his two attendants stopped and stared at Xia Wuji with an unfriendly look.

Xia Wuji looked at Tan Jian and said with an indifferent expression, "Division Head, is this how the Devil Suppression Department treats its guests?"

Tan Jian did not seem to notice the indifference on Xia Wuji's face. He smiled and said, "The outside world has always said that the Young Master of Xia family is not only a good-for-nothing in cultivation, but also a good-for-nothing in martial arts. But who would have thought that you are actually a powerful martial arts genius? It can be seen that many rumors are not true."

"I was just testing the waters just now. If Ghost Demon had devoured my body and soul, I wouldn't have been able to unleash such power. I hope Young Master Xia can forgive me."

In fact, he had been shocked the whole time.

Xiao Sanlang was a Houtian expert who had opened the Twelve Principal Meridians and Three Extraordinary Eight Meridians. Very few people could withstand his sudden attack.

He did not expect that Xia Wuji would easily defeat him and even injure him.

To master 'Shi' at such a young age, he could be considered a master of the Martial Taoist sect! It could be seen that Xia Wuji's talent in martial arts was extraordinary. The rumors that the Young Master of Xia family was a good-for-nothing were all fake.

Mastering 'Shi' would greatly increase the power of ordinary fist techniques.

He even wondered if he would be able to withstand Xia Wuji's ferocious punch if Xia Wuji got close to him.

Of course, this was just a hypothesis.

If they really fought, it was almost impossible for Xia Wuji to get close to him.

He was confident.

And he did not think that it would be difficult to kill Xia Wuji.

Very few people knew that he was not only an accomplished martial artist, but also an Immortal cultivator.

Immortal cultivators had an innate advantage over martial artists.

With a spell, even if the opponent did not die, they would lose a layer of skin.

However, this Xia Wuji would not be easy to kill. He was the descendant of an Immortal cultivator and probably had many defensive artifacts on him.

Xia Wuji did not know what Tan Jian was thinking. Seeing that Tan Jian was being polite, his expression relaxed.

If it was not necessary, he did not want to go against the Demon Suppression Department.

He then said indifferently, "Can you tell now?"

Tan Jian smiled, "Of course. Young Master Xia is powerful and does not fear Ghost Demon. We can naturally tell. "

"Young Master Xia, please rest assured. The reward for helping the Demon Suppression Department will not be less. We will need Young Master Xia's help in the next few days."

Xia Wuji said indifferently, "As long as the money is in place, everything can be discussed."

Tan Jian laughed, "Don't worry, the money is definitely not a problem."

He looked out the window and said, "It's still early. Young Master Xia, why don't you come with me to West City to take a look? Last night, the sixty-three members of the Hong family were all devoured by Ghost Demon. "

"Sixty-three people were all devoured by Ghost Demon!"

Xia Wuji was shocked, "Why haven't I heard of this?"

Tan Jian sighed slightly and said, "This matter was covered up because we were afraid of causing panic. Ghost Demons are vicious and cunning, difficult to capture and kill. Even the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion's Lord is helpless. "

"Therefore, I would like to invite Young Master Xia to help resolve this matter."

Xia Wuji shook his head slightly and said, "Sir, you think too highly of me. Since even the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion is at their wit's end, what can I do?"

"You can't say that. Even if the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion's Lord is unable to resolve this matter, Young Master Xia might be able to. This can be seen from the fact that Cheng Shan and the rest are all dead while Young Master Xia is completely unharmed."

Tan Jian said.

Xia Wuji was not moved at all. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Tan Jian say, "If Young Master Xia can resolve this matter, we will give you another ten thousand taels of silver in addition to the normal reward."

Xia Wuji sighed, "Alright, since the Division Head has repeatedly invited me, it would be unreasonable of me to refuse."

After a pause, he said seriously, "This is really not about money."

Tan Jian nodded, "I know."

Then he said to Xiao Sanlang and his two followers, "You guys take care of this matter. After this, give Cheng Shan and the rest a sum of compensation and build a cenotaph for them."

"Yes, Lord."

Xiao Sanlang and the rest replied.

Tan Jian turned to Xia Wuji and said, "Young Master Xia, please."

Xia Wuji nodded, then turned and followed Tan Jian out.

He walked to Xiao Sanlang's side, paused for a moment, and said, "I was a little heavy-handed just now. Captain Xiao, you don't mind, right?"

Xiao Sanlang's pale face twitched. Three of his fingers were broken, and his wrist was fractured. He was in extreme pain. You ask me if I mind?

"It's nothing, just a small injury."

Xiao Sanlang squeezed out a smile and said.

"That's good."

Xia Wuji nodded, then walked out.

Xue Yi was still downstairs with a group of beauties. When she saw Tan Jian and Xia Wuji coming down, she immediately went to greet them.

What surprised Xia Wuji was that Tan Jian was very polite to Xue Yi.

He cupped his fist and said to Xue Yi, "Miss Xue, please forgive us for disturbing you this time."

Xue Yi's eyes were bright, and she smiled charmingly, "What are you saying, Division Head? I still have to thank Division Head and Young Master Xia. If not for Young Master Xia's profound strength and killing the Devil, we sisters would not be able to open for business for a long time. I'm afraid we would have to starve during this time."

Then she sighed and said with a sad expression, "People outside think that it's easy to make money here, but who knows that we spend a lot of money? It's really hard to save some private money."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji pretended not to see, and looked down with a calm expression.

Chapter 33

Tan Jian didn't know what was going on. Xue Yi didn't mention anything about the Sea Serpent's Pearl. She even disposed of the shell.

Tan Jian smiled and said, "When we're done here, we'll definitely come and support you. Miss Xue, please don't chase us away."

"Of course not. You have to keep your word."

Xue Yi raised her eyebrows and said.

"Of course, of course."

Tan Jian said, "We still have things to do now. Miss Xue, please stay. We'll take our leave first."

Then, he cupped his fists and left with Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji followed Tan Jian all the way to the West City. He thought to himself, "This Xue Yi isn't as simple as she looks. Otherwise, Tan Jian wouldn't be so polite to her."

However, this had nothing to do with him. What he wanted to do now was to kill the Ghost Demon in the West City and then go home to improve his strength.

The 600 inferior-grade Spirit Stones had completely turned into green gas in the black cauldron, waiting for him to level up.

West City.

The Hong Family was pitch black. Even the moonlight couldn't shine into the house.

It was as if the entire Hong Family was isolated from the world.

There was a talisman at every corner of the wall. The talismans were shining with golden light. They were used to suppress the Ghost Demon in the Hong Family.

However, they would dim soon and need to be injected with Dharmic powers continuously.

When the talisman couldn't withstand the Dharmic powers anymore, it would need to be replaced with new talismans.

It was obvious that the Ghost Demon inside was very powerful.

The two young men were busy with their work.

Once they couldn't suppress it, the Ghost Demon would come out and eat too many souls and become a Ghost General.

At that time, it would be very troublesome.

Without a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be impossible to subdue it.

However, how could a Foundation Establishment cultivator have so much time to care about this? Moreover, it wasn't easy to invite a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if they did, the price would be high.

Just as the two of them were busy, Xia Wuji and Tan Jian arrived.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Tan Jian cupped his fists.

"Oh, it's Lord Tan. You came at the right time. Quickly go to the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion and ask the Pavilion Master for help.

We can't suppress the Ghost Demon here, "one of the young men said immediately.

Xia Wuji could tell at a glance that these two were immortal cultivators. Their auras were exactly the same as the auras of his parents.

And judging from the looks of it, his cultivation was not low, at least at the Mortal Realm Stage 6.

"You can't hold on anymore?"

Tan Jian was shocked. He knew that Wang Chu and Han Zhiwen were both at the peak of the Mortal Realm Stage Six. Even if they couldn't kill Ghost, they could still suppress him.

But now, the two of them were actually saying that they couldn't hold on anymore.

"Could it be that Devil evolved so quickly?"

Wang Chu, the young man who spoke just now, said with a serious expression, "Logically speaking, a member of the Hong Family shouldn't have evolved so quickly after devouring it last night. Unless the Hong Family has some extremely powerful evil item, and after Ghost obtained it, it evolved ahead of time."

"But no matter what, the Devil is now extremely powerful, and the seal can no longer hold on. I estimate that we can only hold on for six hours at most."

Six hours …

Tan Jian looked at Xia Wuji and said with a serious expression, "Young master Xia, it seems that we have to ask for your help."

Xia Wuji glanced at him. Don't be fooled by this guy's pitiful look. In fact, this guy was just trying to make a Hail Mary effort.

It would be great if he could deal with it, but if he could, it could also prolong the time that Ghost was suppressed.

Even if it didn't prolong the time, it didn't matter.

If he died, it would save them a lot of money.

There would be no loss to the Demon Suppression Division.

Wang Chu and Han Zhiwen, who were busy, were shocked.

Wang Chu said, "Nonsense! If he goes in as a martial artist, it's the same as sending himself to his death. It might even strengthen Ghost. "

Until now, the two of them didn't even look at Xia Wuji in the eye.

To immortal cultivators, martial artists were inferior people in their eyes.

Tan Jian quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Wang, you are overthinking. He is not an ordinary person. Just now, at the Rouge House …"

Then, he explained the situation at the Rouge House.

"What? You can kill Ghost?! "

Wang Chu and Han Zhiwen were shocked. Only then did they look at Xia Wuji up and down.

A martial artist that they looked down on could actually kill Ghost, which even immortal cultivators like them couldn't deal with. This shocked them.

"How did you do it?"

Wang Chu asked.

"By relying on some treasures."

Xia Wuji said indifferently.

"So it's a treasure. It should be a magic treasure."

Wang Chu looked at Xia Wuji arrogantly.

"Since you have a magic treasure, please give it to us. We will kill Ghost. Don't worry, we won't covet your treasure. "

Xia Wuji shook his head lightly and didn't say anything.

Wang Chu frowned slightly and said, "How can a martial artist like you activate a magic treasure? Only when we activate it can it exert its full power. Do you think we want to steal your magic treasure? "

Xia Wuji said indifferently, "Why should I give you my own things? Didn't the director say it clearly just now? I used this treasure to kill Ghost. Why should I let you use it? "

Wang Chu froze and was slightly annoyed.

They were immortal cultivators. When ordinary people talked to them, they would always be careful and smile.

However, this kid didn't have the slightest awareness of being inferior and dared to talk to them in such a tone.

However, this anger only lasted for a moment. His attention was quickly attracted by the treasure Xia Wuji mentioned.

He and Han Zhiwen looked at each other. Both of them instantly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Obviously, this martial artist must have an amazing magic treasure that was more powerful than they imagined.

It was also because of this that a martial artist could kill Ghost so easily.

A trace of greed flashed in their eyes.

If they had such a treasure to kill Ghost, not only would the difficulty of killing Ghost be greatly reduced, but it would also bring them considerable benefits.

Wang Chu's expression was indifferent as he said, "Uh … Since you can kill Ghost Demons, then try it."

He thought for a moment and said, "What do you need? Just say it."

It would be best if Xia Wuji could kill Ghost, but if he couldn't, at least he could cause great damage to Ghost. At that time, they would be able to get twice the result with half the effort and even directly obtain the "ghost killing treasure" in Xia Wuji's hands.

Xia Wuji was about to enter, but when he heard Wang Chu's words, his heart skipped a beat.

He stopped and turned to Tan Jian and said, "Director, the two masters just said that the Ghost Demon is very powerful. I'm afraid my treasure won't be able to suppress it. I need some Spirit Stones to activate the treasure."

Spirit Stones?

Tan Jian frowned slightly. "How much?"

Xia Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Well … at least 100. I'm not sure. It depends on how strong the Ghost Demon is."

He wanted to say 200, but he was afraid that if he said too much, it would arouse the two's suspicion.

Then, he added, "If it's too strong, I might need more."

Asking for a hundred spirit stones right off the bat!

Tan Jian felt that this guy was doing it on purpose, but he had no evidence.

"Give it to him."

Wang Chu said.

Tan Jian was stunned and then said embarrassedly, "Master Wang, I don't have that many Spirit Stones. Unless I go to the City Lord's Mansion to apply."

Although he was the director of the Demon Suppression Department, the items in the warehouse didn't belong to him, but were shared property.

And now, there weren't that many Spirit Stones in the shared property.

If there was a special need, he would have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to apply.

Wang Chu looked at Han Zhiwen and said, "Brother Han, what do you think?"

Han Zhiwen said, "Killing the Ghost Demon is more important. Lend it to Master Tan first and return it to us later."

Wang Chu nodded. "Okay."

He then said to Tan Jian, "What do you think, Master Tan?"

How could Tan Jian disagree? He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Two masters are benevolent. I thank you on behalf of the people of Blue Moon City."

Wang Chu nodded and then took out a small pile of low-grade Spirit Stones from his storage bag. He said to Xia Wuji indifferently, "I don't have many Spirit Stones here, only 130. How about this, I'll give them all to you. "

Xia Wuji was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He took the Spirit Stones and said with a solemn expression, "Master is righteous!"

Wang Chu nodded indifferently.

Xia Wuji put away the Spirit Stones. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped again and turned to Tan Jian. "Director, let's make it clear. These Spirit Stones aren't borrowed. They're used to kill the Ghost Demon, so they can't be counted as my reward."

Tan Jian squeezed out a smile and said, "Of course."

Xia Wuji nodded. "Mm, then I'm relieved."

He turned to look at the door and said with a serious expression, "Open the door."

Chapter 34

Han Zhiwen walked in front of the door, formed a seal with both hands, and used his magic power to seal the talisman on the door.

With a flash of light, the talisman on the door floated down and was caught in his hand.

The door opened automatically.

It was pitch black inside, as if it was the underworld, and there were faint ghostly cries and howls, making people feel intimidated.

Tan Jian, Wang Chu, and Han Zhiwen looked at Xia Wuji.

But they saw Xia Wuji's face was solemn and firm, he took a deep breath, then walked in with his head held high and his chest out.

The three of them praised him in their hearts.

Not to mention anything else, just this fearless spirit was enough to make them look at him in a different light.

Unfortunately, he was just a martial artist …

When Xia Wuji walked in, the three of them looked indifferent.

The door closed with a bang, and Han Zhiwen stuck the talisman on the door again.

At this moment, Xia Wuji felt that he had suddenly entered another world.

It was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything. Cold, evil, dark, bloody, ferocious, fearful, and other negative things formed in his mind.

With a thought, the Ghost King appeared behind him, and a hundred feet of Ghost Domain spread out.

With the appearance of the Ghost Domain, everything changed.

Countless Ghost Qi quickly entered the Ghost King's body on his back like swallows returning to their nest, and his eyes suddenly became bright.

Soon, a monster appeared in Xia Wuji's sight.

This was a monster that looked like a vicious dog, standing upright in the hall in front of him. It had three heads, six arms, and many faces on its body. There were countless eyes on its arms, and it looked extremely terrifying.

The monster opened its mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs. "Human! You broke this king's spell! You deserve to die! "

As it spoke, the monster suddenly rushed out, its speed was as fast as lightning, as if it teleported, and rushed in front of Xia Wuji in the blink of an eye.

Xia Wuji's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his body's aura soared, he lowered his waist and threw out a punch!

Tiger's Might Kill!

A pair of tiger eyes suddenly appeared above his head, emitting a murderous aura.

Boom — —

A powerful force suddenly burst out, and poured down on the monster in an instant.

Poof!

His fist punched through the monster's back and came out. Foul blood splattered everywhere.

However, Xia Wuji knew that this was just an illusion.

This monster did not have a physical body at all.

It was a ghost demon.

A Ghost Devil who was about to become a Ghost General!

The Ghost Demon was so powerful that physical attacks were useless against it.

However, Ghost's face was filled with fear. Only now did he realize that he had entered a domain.

That was the King's domain!

In this domain, it was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Its body was now firmly bound by the King's power.

The Ghost King walked out from behind Xia Wuji.

He grabbed the monster's neck.

The monster couldn't even speak before it turned into a mass of black smoke and was swallowed by the Ghost King.

His Ghost Body became even more solid, and the Ghost Domain expanded to a diameter of 120 feet!

Fragments of memories flooded into Xia Wuji's mind.

These were the remnant memories of the Hong Family members that Ghost Demon had devoured.

The reason why these memories existed was because they were too deep. Even if they died, they could not be easily erased.

Xia Wuji skimmed through these memories with ease. The memories were messy and appeared in fragments.

As he looked through these memory fragments, his expression gradually changed from indifference to shock.

From these memory fragments, he discovered a shocking secret.

The reason why the Hong Family was annihilated was not by chance, but by a man-made massacre.

The appearance of Ghost Demon was also not a coincidence, but a man-made indulgence.

Ghost Demon was the killer, and no one would know who the real culprit was.

And the source of all this was actually related to the snake demon.

Piecing these memory fragments together, he discovered that the final source was actually Fairy Pavilion.

There was a woman in the Hong Family who was raped by the snake demon in Fairy Pavilion. Her Primordial Yin Qi was absorbed and she eventually died.

A Fairy Pavilion that was personally consecrated by the Emperor of Dachu, praised and revered by everyone, was actually related to the snake demon.

In the memory fragments, there were also some pregnant women and babies.

Unfortunately, the memory fragments were too messy and blurry. Many things could not be connected, and the reason could not be found.

"This Blue Moon City's waters … I'm afraid it's not ordinary."

Xia Wuji opened his eyes, his gaze deep.

The most important thing now was to raise his cultivation as soon as possible.

However, while they had not discovered that Ghost Demon had been killed by him, it was best to search the Hong Family and see what he could find.

For example, banknotes or something.

He was now very interested in valuable things.

His figure quickly swept out, smashing everywhere as he began to search everywhere.

Needless to say, he found quite a lot of banknotes in some boxes.

These boxes were all locked, but they were all opened by him with brute force, and the banknotes inside were all swept clean, including a few gold ingots.

After searching through all the rooms, he was just about to leave. However, when he passed by the backyard, his heart suddenly throbbed. There seemed to be something he needed here.

Following his premonition, he searched around the backyard.

Finally, he found a clue at the rockery in the middle of the pond in the middle of the courtyard.

Twisting aside a huge rock, a cave entrance appeared in the rockery.

The feeling that made his heart throb was coming from this cave.

Xia Wuji did not hesitate and immediately walked in.

He found that this was a passage that led downwards.

Following the passage, he came to an underground secret room.

There was a table in the secret room, and on the table was a sword.

Under the table was a big metal box with a big lock on it.

However, Xia Wuji's gaze was on the wall.

There was a fist-sized red crystal on the wall, emitting a red light.

The entire secret room relied on this crystal for illumination.

And what attracted him was this red crystal used for illumination.

He touched it with his hand …

As soon as he touched the red crystal, his mind entered the space of the black cauldron.

At this moment, one of the nine doors lit up, and a message was transmitted to his mind.

"Second clone, mechanical body!"

Xia Wuji was shocked.

The mechanical body was shattered in a battle, and its various parts were scattered in this space-time.

If all the parts were gathered together, they could form a new mechanical body, which would be a great help to him.

According to the message, this red crystal used to be a part of the mechanical body. It was an existence similar to a heart, and it stored the energy of the stars.

With this "heart", he could find other parts within a certain range.

As he found more and more parts, the range of his senses would also increase.

"Could this mechanical body be a Mech?"

Xia Wuji muttered.

Unfortunately, no one answered.

With a thought, a caption appeared in front of him.

[Second clone: Mechanical body (recovering)]

[Ability: Critical Hit, Disintegration Recovery]

Chapter 35

Xia Wuji was very satisfied with the ability of his second doppelganger.

Unfortunately, he needed to collect all the parts to become his auxiliary combat power.

Then, he looked at the sword on the table.

It was a sword with a greenish hue. He couldn't tell what was so special about it with his eyesight, but since it was enshrined here, it shouldn't be an ordinary steel sword.

It's okay, I'll keep it first.

He kept the sword.

Then, he pulled out the big box.

He punched the big lock.

Huala, the lock was smashed open.

He opened the box and found a pile of Spirit Stones inside.

He counted and found that there were a total of 500 yuan.

Why did the Hong Family store these Spirit Stones here?

Did the Hong Family have cultivators?

However, all this wasn't important. Anyway, the Hong Family was all dead. These Spirit Stones were all his!

Xia Wuji's eyes were full of golden light.

Without saying anything, he immediately put all the Spirit Stones into the black cauldron.

It was safer to put the Spirit Stones here than anywhere else.

The 500 Spirit Stones quickly turned into green gas.

He casually took the red crystal from the wall.

The red crystal quickly disappeared into the door. Xia Wuji looked around, then turned and walked out.

At this time, Wang Chu, Han Zhiwen, and Tan Jian had already felt the black gas in the Hong Family dissipating. The Ghost Demon seemed to have disappeared.

The three of them immediately opened the door and saw the Hong Family in a mess.

Good lord! What kind of battle did they go through? From the front hall to the backyard, there was no place in the entire Hong Family that was intact.

With a loud bang, a figure holding a thick machete rushed out of the rockery.

The three of them immediately rushed over, only to see Xia Wuji standing in the courtyard with a dusty face. His breathing was a little short, but his expression was cold and his eyes were sharp.

"How was it?"

Tan Jian asked.

"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint. Killed."

Xia Wuji said.

"Good!"

Tan Jian was overjoyed.

Xia Wuji said, "Director-General, I'm a little tired. I'll go back first."

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. I'll hold a banquet for you in a few days."

Tan Jian said.

"Thank you. This one will take his leave. "

Xia Wuji cupped his fists towards Wang Chu and Han Zhiwen before turning around and leaving.

Wang Chu and Han Zhiwen's eyes flashed as they watched Xia Wuji's back disappear into the distance. However, they soon turned their heads around as if nothing had happened and began to check their surroundings.

Not long after leaving the Hong Family, Xia Wuji returned to normal. His breathing was steady, and his gaze was deep and reserved.

He brushed off the dust on his body and walked back to his house.

At this time, it was already late at night. Even the most bustling Fairy Street was deserted, and the other streets were even more deserted.

Moonlight sprinkled over the city like water. Occasionally, a few night cats would pass through the top of the wall and disappear into the night in the blink of an eye.

Stone Statue Street was named because there were three stone statues erected in three places on this street. It was where the Yao Clan was located.

But now, this street was somewhat desolate.

Ever since the plague struck the Yao Clan ten years ago, 236 people had died in a single night. The entire Yao Clan had become a haunted house. The nearby residents moved away from this place one after another, causing Stone Statue Street to become the most deserted street in the city.

Even during the day, very few people passed by this street. At night, this street was even more deserted. Other than the occasional squeaking of mice, it was completely silent.

Xia Wuji chose to walk on Stone Statue Street purely as a shortcut.

As for whether there were ghosts or not, he didn't care.

Even if there were ghosts, it would only make the Ghost King's avatar more solid.

However, he didn't encounter any ghosts, but a person.

A person dressed in black who hid himself in the darkness.

Stone Statue Street. The three stone statues stood on the two sides and the middle of the street respectively.

When passing by the first stone statue, most people would subconsciously glance at the three-meter tall stone statue with a somewhat ferocious face.

Especially at night, it was even more so.

At this time, people would be nervous and more focused.

When passing by the second stone statue, people would have already gotten used to it, but they would still pay attention.

When passing by the third stone statue, most people would relax and wouldn't even look at the stone statue.

The person in the darkness was hiding behind the third stone statue.

When Xia Wuji passed by, he didn't appear immediately. When Xia Wuji had taken three steps, the assassin appeared.

This was an assassin who had undergone strict training. Not only was he as steady as a boulder when hiding, his breathing had stopped, and his timing was impeccable. Even the sword in his hand was black, not revealing a single trace of light under the night sky.

Swish –

The sword stabbed into Xia Wuji's back.

At this moment, Xia Wuji shifted his center of gravity, and the black sword suddenly stabbed into the thick saber on his back.

Clang ~

Sparks flew.

Xia Wuji had just turned around when he saw a shiny silver dagger suddenly appear in the assassin's left hand. It was dazzling under the moonlight as it suddenly stabbed toward Xia Wuji's chest.

At the same time, a terrifying murderous aura swept toward Xia Wuji like a storm.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have lost their mind in an instant.

But Xia Wuji's expression was calm, and he even looked at the assassin with ridicule in his eyes.

Ridicule?

A ripple appeared in the assassin's calm heart.

Then, at this very moment, this tiny ripple transformed into a shocking wave that made his heart tremble.

He saw Xia Wuji punch his dagger, and a circle of golden light appeared on his fist.

Clang!

He punched the tip of the dagger.

What made the assassin almost collapse was that this bright silver dagger, which could destroy gold and iron, was instantly shattered by Xia Wuji's fist.

But this was not the end.

After smashing the dagger, the fist didn't stop, and the golden fist followed the dagger and smashed into the assassin's hand like lightning.

Too fast!

The assassin didn't have time to react. His hand and arm were shattered under the golden fist, blooming in all directions like fireworks.

Then, like a hot knife through butter, his entire left arm and shoulder were blown apart by this punch.

The intense pain and the rapid loss of blood caused the assassin's eyes to go black.

A strong aura of death assaulted his mind.

His many years as an assassin made him know that he couldn't be blinded at this time. He had to see his opponent's attack path clearly, or he would die.

When his left arm and shoulder were blown apart, he almost instinctively retreated. When he tried to open his eyes, he saw the golden fist smashing toward his head.

I'm screwed this time!

This was the last thought in the assassin's mind.

Bang!

The assassin's head exploded like a watermelon, and his headless corpse flew out and hit the stone statue. It slid down and dyed the stone statue red, which looked even more sinister and strange under the moonlight.

Xia Wuji didn't mind. He squatted down and searched the assassin's body.

But unfortunately, there was nothing.

He shook his head slightly, took the assassin's black sword, and left.
