Chapter 75

"Dongzhu, I've heard that our county's Immortal Official has invited Xuanqing Daozhang to take action, and together they will eliminate the Evil Cultivator causing trouble in our county. You don't need to worry too much; it won't take long before the turmoil is completely eradicated!"

Aunt Li comforted.

"Aunt Li, what you said is correct!"

Liu Dongzhu's eyes lit up instantly; she knew Xuanqing Daozhang's abilities were top-notch, and even if the Evil Cultivator troubling Qingyang County were extremely powerful, he could never be a match for Xuanqing Daozhang.

What's more, Xuanqing Daozhang is also joining forces with the Immortal Official of Qingyang County!

Aunt Li smiled and said: "That's right, who doesn't know Xuanqing Daozhang's abilities?"

Suddenly.

Wang Ping'an's face suddenly turned grim; his Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, which he had commanded, had already reached the field where his grandparents were working, and his grandparents were safe and sound, with no trace of having been bitten by a poisonous snake.

In other words, everything this Aunt Li just said was false.

His grandfather wasn't bitten by a poisonous snake!

"Why did she come to my house to say this? Is she deliberately tricking my mother into going out, or deliberately tricking my mother into taking me out with her?"

Wang Ping'an's face grew solemn; as he was about to command, the sword apparatus forged from Sword Qi within his body, which he intended to use to slay the nearby Aunt Li, suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

He didn't know whether this Aunt Li before him was the mastermind behind the scenes or a subordinate of the mastermind.

Having already left Hutou Gou, no one knows if there are other villains lying in ambush nearby; his sword apparatus could easily slay the defenseless Aunt Li before him, but it would be difficult to kill a mastermind who is on guard.

First, drawing out the sword apparatus from within consumes enormous stamina and spirit power; second, once the mastermind takes precautions, even if he isn't a match, he can seize the chance to flee.

As the saying goes: "A thief can work for a thousand days, but who can guard against a thief for a thousand days?"

He will surely have a moment of laxity!

Therefore.

Before he clarifies whether Aunt Li is the mastermind or a subordinate of the mastermind, he cannot afford to act rashly.

"Aunt Li, I feel as if we've just walked this road."

Liu Dongzhu said with a bewildered expression.

"Walked? Have we walked it?"

"Aunt Li's face full of doubt, she guessed: 'Could it be that you, Dongzhu, just woke up and aren't fully awake yet?'"

"Not awake yet?"

Liu Dongzhu thought for a moment, maybe she hadn't woken up; otherwise, how could she have walked the same road over and over? She said: "Perhaps I'm not fully awake; otherwise, how could I feel that I've walked this road again and again!"

Not long after, Liu Dongzhu was panting, her face full of bewilderment.

Not long ago.

She wondered if she was hallucinating, having walked this road over and over, but after hearing Aunt Li's explanation, she suspected she hadn't slept enough and was hallucinating; although she wasn't sure whether it was still a hallucination, she had walked a long distance and was exhausted.

"Aunt Li……"

Liu Dongzhu was about to speak, asking Aunt Li whether she was still not awake or experiencing an abnormal condition, when Aunt Li interrupted and said:

"Dongzhu, you've only walked a short while; seeing you panting, could it be that you just gave birth and your body hasn't recovered? Give Ping'an to me, I'll hold him for you, after all, there's still some distance to your family's fields."

Liu Dongzhu refused: "Aunt Li, no need, I can hold him myself!"

Aunt Li said: "Dongzhu, don't refuse; we still need to hurry to your parents' field to see your father one last time, or else give Ping'an to me!"

Alright, thanks for the trouble, Aunt Li!

Liu Dongzhu said.

As Liu Dongzhu just handed Wang Ping'an over, Li Aunt snatched him away at a speed unbefitting her body, not waiting for Liu Dongzhu to speak, she interjected: 'Dongzhu, I'm leaving first, you hurry up and follow!' 'Aunt Li, wait for me!'

Liu Dongzhu blurted out a sentence instinctively; before she could finish speaking, she saw Li Aunt holding Wang Ping'an vanish from her sight at great speed, and she was instantly startled, her face full of panic.

She exerted all her strength, chasing after Li Aunt's disappearing figure at top speed.

Liu Dongzhu shouted while running: 'Ping'an, Ping'an, my Ping'an, Aunt Li, wait a moment!'

Wang Ping'an, held in Li Aunt's arms, looked back and saw his mother spinning in place; his heart jolted—there was an eighty to ninety percent chance this was the work of the hidden mastermind.

With such ability to trap his mother, it's likely also a Dao cultivator; recalling Li Aunt's earlier words, perhaps the hidden mastermind is the Evil Cultivator wreaking havoc in Qingyang County.

I just don't know whether this Evil Cultivator is the Li Aunt before us or the hidden mastermind behind her.

Just that.

He couldn't understand why his master, the Qingyang County Immortal Official, and even the county constables were searching the entire Qingyang County for the troublemaking Evil Cultivator, yet never considered that the Evil Cultivator wasn't hiding or had left Qingyang County.

He actually dared to come looking for trouble!

Ding! You have personally experienced a ghost wall; congratulations on earning the reward: Skill: Ghost Wall 【Entry Level】!

A mechanical, cold voice rang out, startling Wang Ping'an from his myriad thoughts; he instinctively looked up and saw Li Aunt holding him, having arrived at a secluded forest with a large tree nearby.

A Heipao Ren, completely covered and unidentifiable in gender, walked out from behind the large tree.

Li Aunt exclaimed joyfully: 'Master, I have followed your orders and snatched that infant over!'

Heipao Ren said: 'Hand him over to me!'

'Master, he has a thunderbolt talisman on him…'

Li Aunt blurted out instinctively; before she could finish speaking, strands of dark light emanated from her whole body, and in the next instant a bolt of lightning shot out from Wang Ping'an's embrace, striking her body, making her scream in anguish, and then she glared resentfully at the Heipao Ren.

Li Aunt pointed at the Heipao Ren, opened her mouth wanting to say something, but the words reached her lips and, due to severe injury, she had no strength to speak; she could only glare resentfully at the Heipao Ren and slump to the ground.

The next second.

A surge of black qi burst forth from Li Aunt's whole body!

Ding! You have witnessed a vicious ghost's gruesome death; congratulations on earning the reward: Skill: Ghost Possession 【Entry Level】!

Another mechanical, cold voice rang out in his mind, and Wang Ping'an was instantly startled; he had originally thought Li Aunt was either not the mastermind or a subordinate of the mastermind; he never would have imagined.

She would actually be controlled by a vicious ghost!

'Little thing, for your sake I actually sacrificed a vicious ghost!'

Seeing Wang Ping'an about to be flung out by Aunt Li, Heipao Ren stepped forward first, embraced Wang Ping'an, and with greedy eyes unabashedly fixed on Wang Ping'an, said:

"Little thing, I hope you don't let me down, otherwise not only you, but even your mother and your family will die!"

In the midst of speaking, Heipao Ren raised their right hand, their long, slender nails flashing with a faint eerie light, and lunged to grab at Wang Ping'an's heart.

If Wang Ping'an weren't so young, he would still want to play a bit!

"Pfft!"

A jet of fresh blood spurted out!
