Chapter 794: Backlash

Wild boars, jackals...

Regardless of whether they were originally carnivores or herbivores, the beasts were now all merged into one group, which was truly incredible.

And when the Inspector saw this, his first thought was... could there be a mountain fire behind them?

Only in this way could it be explained why these animals were fleeing for their lives together!

But the next moment, he was submerged by the herd of beasts!

Several wild wolves, their emerald eyes full of cunning light, bit into his vital points such as his arms, ankles, and lower abdomen...

"How can these wolves work together to attack me while fleeing for their lives? No... this isn't right!"

A huge doubt emerged in the Inspector's heart, and then his right wrist was bitten hard; he let out a scream, a sharp pain also came from his ankle, and he fell to the ground, was trampled by the herd of wild boars, and then there was no more sound...

Those Detectives received the same treatment as him.

Those government soldiers should have all died; even if some were not dead, they had not seen his true form.

"That's not right..." Cangsong denied it himself first: "Law Does Not Apply to the Noble; although Sun Hua is only a Ninth Rank, he has the majesty of the public office before the prefectural government... To want to harm him with Daoism, at least a True Person must act, but with the dignity of a True Person, why bear the Backlash and provoke the displeasure of the Dragon Qi?"

He muttered a complaint in his heart, and with a dry laugh on his face, he said: "So that's how it is... It seems the Daoism of the Candle Dragon Sect is quite profound."

He solemnly thanked Aaron again: "I have no way to repay the kindness of saving my life; if the benefactor has any orders in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"So... this White Tiger is a Spirit Beast raised by you, fellow Daoist?"

If one could be thorough in every aspect, that would be a prominent school within the Daoist Gate! For instance, the currently most popular Chongming Sect!

The Daoist Lineage to which this Daoist belongs must be the most skilled at taming beasts.

Dulongzi felt a tightness in his heart, then revealed a look of grief and indignation: "The Imperial Court destroyed my Daoist Lineage, killed my Master and Disciple... I am at irreconcilable odds with them. As long as this old Daoist is not dead, I will surely travel the world, point out the true Dragon Cave, and bury this Great Song Dynasty!!!"

"So that was an accident?" Daoist Cangyun stroked his beard and asked his own disciple: "How are your injuries?"

Dulongzi bowed deeply to the ground, respectfully seeing off Aaron, who was riding the White Tiger.

"I don't know..."

'Hmm, if I go and kill a few more officials to test it, won't it be perfectly clear?'

'How can the Backlash of your native world hurt the Spirituality of my other world? This is very reasonable!'

At this moment, Aaron walked out of the dense forest in a leisurely manner and came before the White Tiger, loving it more the more he looked at it.

Aaron nodded; this matter was too big, and his predecessor Fang La had heard a whisper of it.

"Master..."

Thinking of this, he coughed twice on purpose: "It's passable, passable... I have secret medicine from my sect to sustain me, so there is no major issue."

If one practiced that, wouldn't it just be creating a weakness for oneself for nothing?

"Go slowly, fellow Daoist!"

Several yamen runners and servants were like sculptures, and only then did they react, stepping forward to help Sun Hua with clumsy hands: "Master... Master..."

But Sun Hua was not trying to move Provincial Graduate Gu, he was only moving Fang La!

Although what Aaron performed seemed like a spell, in essence, it was still his own Spirituality Simulation!

Chunfeng Tower.

"Since you have already been wanted by the government, where do you intend to go in the future, fellow Daoist?" Aaron asked again.

"It has nothing to do with us!" Several yamen runners waved their hands hurriedly: "Just now... an eagle descended from the sky and scratched the official!"

"Look at you, you must have taken quite a bit of silver from them, right?" Sun Hua laughed and scolded, but it was nothing for the gatekeeper and personal attendants to take bribes; the most important thing was loyalty: "Fine... I'll give old Daoist Cangyun some face."

On the surface, Sun Hua was calm and composed, but in reality, this feeling of controlling other people's Fate, with everything hanging on his own whim, was truly very good, making him somewhat unable to stop.

"What?"

'So the native cultivation system is so troublesome and miserable... No wonder there are almost no Demons...'

Dulongzi had drifted to various places over these years, and could be considered well-traveled and experienced, having seen all kinds of strange and bizarre things.

"An eagle?"

However, this was also normal; every Daoist Lineage had its specialties.

Dulongzi had no doubt about this at all, and looking at the White Tiger, Huabao, and wild wolves guarding Aaron... a look of extreme envy could not help but appear on his face.

"That has to be told from the beginning. My sect was founded by Dongming Daozu, who once met a divine person in a deep pool and was granted the Refining Elixir Jade Liquid and the Purple Mansion Golden Book... and subsequently entered the Dao and founded the Daoist Lineage..."

Alas... this person does not understand human relationships and worldly wisdom!

"He looks upright, but is actually greedy... However, looking at his Qi Number, he should still be able to serve as a Daoist Official for a few more years, but his later years will be miserable..." Daoist Cangyun replied.

'When I killed the Inspector just now, I didn't feel the slightest Backlash... This shows that this so-called Backlash system is... completely ineffective against me!!!'

"Seeing that you are all white and snow-like and cute, I will call you Xiaoyu from now on."

In the distance, Aaron sat by the window of the restaurant, calmly watching this scene.

Speaking of killing officials, the first one Aaron thought of was the Ninth Rank Daoist Official—Sun Hua!

He always took revenge without delay!

"Daoist Official!"

'How can Spirituality be such an inconvenient thing?'

The tiger roared in the mountain forest, and Xiaoyu ran like the wind; it didn't take long to reach the vicinity of Jiangzhou Fucheng.

When Aaron raised his hand, the White Tiger voluntarily lowered its head, allowing Aaron to stroke the "King" pattern on the tiger's forehead.

Speaking of the past, Dulongzi could not help but sigh: "It was passed down for seven generations, and the Wind and Water Geomancy became more and more profound, capable of Dragon Pointing... Later, my master was invited by the Prince of Hening to perform Dragon Pointing for him... Afterwards, this matter was leaked, the Prince of Hening was ordered to commit suicide, and my Candle Dragon Sect was completely exterminated, leaving only this old Daoist..."

However, the true power of a Juren lies in his teachers and classmates, who can form a network of relationships, where pulling one hair affects the whole body.

He thought for a moment and chose to trust his own divination: "Since that is the case, I wish the Daoist good luck. The mountains are high and the roads are long, let us part here..."

As trusted servants, they and their master truly shared honor and disgrace together.

Sun Hua was reviewing an official document.

Anyway, it's just mutual flattery in business; who doesn't know how to do that?

Dulongzi, however, revealed a worried look: "Is the fellow Daoist's body well? Law Does Not Apply to the Noble... That person at least has a From Ninth Rank official status. Although the fellow Daoist used a Beast Taming Technique to cause his death, as long as it is a Daoist Technique, harming an official will result in a Backlash..."

He looked toward the north again: "Very good... Since I, this old Daoist, have survived this mortal tribulation, it is now the Great Song Dynasty's turn... With chaotic times approaching, the Flying Dragon in the Sky Cave that I, this old Daoist, had such a hard time finding before will soon be of use!"

'But are you sure this is a Dragon Cave you've marked, and not a Dead Point?'

Just as Dulongzi was stunned, Aaron calmly coaxed quite a bit more information out of him, which counted as gaining a rough understanding of the local Daoist Gate cultivation system.

"Xiaoyu, let's go!"

After speaking, he looked at the Inspector's corpse, couldn't help but sneer, flashed his figure, plunged into the dense forest, and disappeared...

Cangyun the old Daoist poured a cup of tea for Cangsong Daoren: "The one to be invited today is Daoist Official Sun Hua. If we can befriend this person, it will be much more convenient for Junior Brother to do anything in Jiangzhou Prefecture..."

"The fellow Daoist's Beast Taming Technique of this Daoist Lineage is truly the best in the world."

Cangyun and Cangsong both stood up, their expressions surprised: "Flying Eagle Pecks the Eyes? Is that a Daoist Technique?"

Daoist Association Office.

He widened his eyes, only to be stunned to find that the wild beasts on both sides automatically bypassed him, forming a small empty space.

"What about this person?" Cangsong asked.

……

Not until the other party's Shadow was gone did he sigh: "This fellow Daoist is truly no ordinary person..."

Dulongzi widened his eyes, watching Aaron, who was dressed in a Daoist robe, come out to interact with the White Tiger. He had a subtle illusion, then performed a Daoist salute and said with a solemn face: "This poor Daoist Dulongzi, many thanks to the fellow Daoist for saving my life!"

Aaron dismissed the jackals, wolves, and leopards, leaving only one White Tiger to ride on as he traveled, feeling the wind on both sides, which was quite satisfying.

Listening to Dulongzi's rambling, Aaron felt a stir in his heart:

'What Backlash? Why can't I feel it?'

'No wonder that Sun Hua had a Ninth Rank official status and dared to order me around, not fearing at all that I might possess some Strange Art... So there is an iron rule that Law Does Not Apply to the Noble?'

'Keeping this person is actually auspicious for me?'

Sun Hua thought casually, saw that it was time to close the office, and walked out of the government office with his hands behind his back.

'It seems this is common knowledge?'

……

He looked at the people around him with a fierce gaze, like a vicious wolf.

Sun Hua's face was covered in claw marks, almost deep enough to reach the bone!

The most terrifying thing was that both eyeballs were broken, resembling two black holes, making the wailing Sun Hua look like a malicious ghost!

Therefore, as long as Dulongzi is finished off, everything will be fine and clean! This matter will absolutely not implicate him!

A moment later, a minor official walked in and whispered some news.

If this Fang La were sensible and brought a heavy gift to pull strings after being reprimanded, it wouldn't be impossible to spare him.

A Presented Scholar can almost run rampant in a county, but in a prefecture city? It's just so-so!

Not to mention anything else, if a Presented Scholar fails the imperial examination and voluntarily seeks an official post, they usually go to the county school to be an Instructor, From Ninth Rank, one level lower than Sun Hua!

As a Daoist Official, he could completely suppress the other party.

However, before the murderous intent flashed, Aaron first calculated a hexagram in his heart regarding this matter and arrived at a surprising result:

"Hmm, I mainly did it to save it; you were just incidental."

For example, his lineage is good at finding Dragon Caves and Point Acupuncture, while some Daoist Lineages are good at alchemy, some at Qi Gazing, and some at Physiognomy.

"Greed is good, greed is good." Cangsong Daoren smiled.

Sun Hua is also a person in the circle; knowing that Daoist Technique cannot break Official Qi, he naturally had the confidence to scold other Daoists at will and enjoy his power.

Just as Sun Hua was spiritedly waiting for his servants to bring the carriage, a black Shadow seemed to flash in the sky!

Then, he felt great pain on his face, his vision went black, and he couldn't help but scream, falling to the ground, covering his face with both hands as a large amount of blood sprayed out!

'However... Law Does Not Apply to the Noble? A True Cultivator killing an official must have a Backlash? Official status is immune to all evils, and Dragon Qi repels all techniques? This is a flaw in your local cultivation system; what does it have to do with my Spirituality?'

'Hmm... sure enough, there is no mistake. When I use Daoist Technique to deal with noble officials, there is no Backlash at all! The Fire Jujube having an effect on the Presented Scholar earlier is also for this reason!'

Awoo!

But he dared to swear that nothing could be more magical than what he was experiencing now!

A moment later, the herd of beasts gradually dispersed, leaving only one leopard with a dozen wolves surrounding the White Tiger, leaving Dulongzi dumbfounded.

Dulongzi gave a bitter smile, knowing he couldn't shirk it, and could only say truthfully: "Does the fellow Daoist know of the 'Candle Dragon Dao'?"

The Daoist Gate advocates 'the highest good is like water'; regardless of Daoist Technique or philosophy, it emphasizes a subtle influence and would not be so direct and violent.

Aaron waved his hand, said a plain truth, and then looked at the Inspector's corpse on the ground: "Government soldiers? What crime did you commit?"

The personal attendant asked Sun Hua to open his hands and couldn't help but be startled.

Aaron did not choose to ride the White Tiger through the streets, but let Xiaoyu wait for him in the nearby forest, and he himself entered the city again in a low-key manner.

The personal attendant had just driven the carriage over and, seeing this scene, was so scared that he was terrified: "Master, what happened to you? What happened?"

He patted the White Tiger he was sitting on and smiled triumphantly.

At the same time, he recalled what Dulongzi had said about 'Law Does Not Apply to the Noble'.

And under the influence of the 'Beast Taming Technique', the White Tiger's large eyes gradually became confused, its original wildness and ferocity gradually disappeared, replaced by a docile look.

Not only him, but even that White Tiger received the same treatment.

One person and one tiger, like two reefs in a torrent, stood firm.

Inside a private room.

"Ah!"

The bailiffs on both sides hurriedly saluted.

"So it was the treason case of the Prince of Hening!"

Aaron only believed at most half of what this person said.

"I had the famous doctor Lin Laoxing look at him; he said that if he can survive these few days without developing a fever, he might live... but his eyes are completely blind, and there is no saving them!" The apprentice was a meticulous person and had managed to find out even this.

Just then, the room door suddenly opened, and a Daoist walked in: "Uncle-Master, Master... the Daoist Official had his eyes pecked out by an eagle at the entrance of the prefectural government office; I fear he will not be able to attend the banquet."

After Sun Hua finished listening, the tip of his brush paused slightly, and then he sneered: "I thought it was some great Buddha, but it turns out it was just finding a path through a rural scholar..."

'What is going on with this world? Isn't it a bit too harsh on practitioners?'

He feared trouble most of all; at this moment, hearing that the other party was a rebel, he was already considering the issues of exposure and insurance.

Under this herd of beasts, one would either be trampled to death or torn apart and eaten by the pack of animals... or one could try to outrun these mountain animals, and then choose to jump off a cliff or into a river!

Dulongzi lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.

With the connections of a Taoist Master, it would be easier to find Sun Hua's superior to discipline him.

"You all be careful, do not hurt my mount."

Beside him, a personal attendant stepped forward and smiled obsequiously: "The Abbot of Wuyun Temple wants to host a banquet for you this evening, and is setting up the feast at Chunfeng Tower... He sent an invitation earlier, saying he hopes you will definitely grace him with your presence!"

What's more... a cultivation method with such huge flaws, he wouldn't even want it if it were given to him!

Thinking of this, he paid the bill and drifted away.

Aaron did not have any thoughts of extorting a heritage; after all, a Daoist Lineage is the lifeblood of someone else's sect, and even with a good relationship, they would fight to the death over it.

Cangsong Daoren sighed: "This Sun Hua is finished, Senior Brother, cancel the banquet..."

Being an official emphasizes the Official Body most of all; not to mention having a disability, even if one's facial features are slightly irregular, one would be at a great disadvantage when being selected for office.

A blind man still wants to continue being a Daoist Official? He's dreaming!
