Chen Fan's Essence Soul quickly returned.
Behind him, the innkeeper and the waiter were stunned.
They didn't see how Chen Fan killed the demon. They only saw a lot of lightning flashing around Chen Fan's body and that he wasn't injured at all, which shocked them.
Chen Fan's Essence Soul returned and he opened his eyes, which were shining brightly.
The lightning on his body quickly disappeared into his body.
His black and white Daoist robe was brand new, as if it was his first time wearing it.
"Gulp!"
The shopkeeper gulped.
"An accomplished expert. This Taoist priest is a god!”
The waiter knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Fan.
He thought he was going to die when the female ghost possessed him. Fortunately, Chen Fan saved him in time.
"Daoist Priest, I was blind just now. Please forgive me.”
The shopkeeper also hurriedly cupped his hands, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Not long ago, he had thought that such an accomplished expert was just a young boy.
He did not expect it to be so powerful. It was simply unbelievable.
Chen Fan looked at them and said,""Shopkeeper, do you remember that there was a picture of a beautiful woman with a full moon in the Sky Room? Who placed it here?”
The shopkeeper lowered his head and pondered for a moment."I remember now. It was left behind by a guest who stayed in the hotel. He said that he painted this painting himself and it was very beautiful.”
"Is there a problem?"
Chen Fan said," That's a big problem. The female ghost walked out of the painting. Obviously, that person left it there on purpose."”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was shocked and exclaimed,"How is that possible? Isn't it just a painting?”
However, he knew that Chen Fan wouldn't lie to him.
There was no need for that.
"It's true. If you don't believe me, come with me!”
Chen Fan took him to the first room of the Heaven Character. The painting had been half destroyed by him.
However, it could still be seen that there was no longer a beautiful woman in the full moon.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that there was not a trace of warmth in his body.
"This…It's actually true. Why did that person harm me like this?”The shopkeeper couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"Do you remember what that person looked like?" Chen Fan asked.”
The shopkeeper calmed down and thought for a while before saying,""I have a very deep impression of that person. He wore a large black robe and his gaze was very dark, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.”
"Oh right, there's also a bean-sized mole on his forehead. It's the most eye-catching.”
"There is also a white lotus flower on his black robe. It is very eye-catching.”
"White lotus?"
Chen Fan immediately knew who the culprit was.
Other than the White Lotus Cult, who else would dare to inscribe a white lotus flower on their body? Wasn't this courting death?
"This Penniless Priest already knows that they are from the White Lotus Society. There is no reason for them to harm others.”Chen Fan said slowly.
As he said this, he remembered that the first time he killed a ghost, it was very likely to be the White Lotus Society.
Hearing these three words.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that his entire body trembled. His legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
The White Lotus Society was a notorious evil cult. Just hearing its name could scare people half to death.
Moreover, he had actually come into contact with the people of the White Lotus Cult. This was too terrifying.
"Thank you for your help today, Daoist Priest. I'm eternally grateful!”The shopkeeper thanked Chen Fan and said,""May I know your name?"
"My Daoist name is Tai Xuan." Chen Fan smiled.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately revealed a surprised expression and continued to ask,"Could it be that Taishao Mystic Sword Immortal who saved people in distress?”
He had heard of this name many times, and it was like thunder in his ears.
"I don't deserve it. I'm only the eldest disciple of Mao Mountain. The Taixuan Sword Immortal is just a good name for everyone!”
"Sword Immortal, you are too humble. Please accept my bow!”
The shopkeeper knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Fan.
He also gave a reason.
"Not long ago, my old mother went out to seek medicine. In the end, she encountered demons and ghosts and almost died in the mouth of the monsters.”
"Fortunately, she said that a Taixuan Sword Immortal helped to kill the fiendish demon on the way, so there were no accidents.”
"You are my benefactor!"
After saying this, he kowtowed a few more times.
Chen Fan glanced at him and thought that people in this era really liked to kowtow.
However, he did not say anything. After all, everyone wanted to be grateful in different ways.
Since he thought that kowtowing could be a form of gratitude, then he would kowtow a few times to repay the favor.
"Alright, stand up, Shopkeeper. It is the duty of Mao Mountain disciples to kill demons and devils.”
The shopkeeper wanted to continue kowtowing, but an invisible force dragged him up, making him unable to continue kneeling.
The shopkeeper thanked Chen Fan on behalf of his mother.
However, it was getting late and it was not good to wake his mother up, so he did not invite her.
Chen Fan understood and waved his hand, telling him to leave.
The female ghost had already been eliminated, and the next room could continue to live in.
The shopkeeper thanked Chen Fan again and ordered the servants to serve him some delicious wine and meat.
……………
The next day.
A red sun rose from the east and illuminated the earth.
The golden light spread across the mountains, rivers, and buildings until it illuminated the entire land, bringing vitality.
Chen Fan had already woken up and was absorbing the Spirit Qi in the morning sun.
Among the spiritual qi, there was also the Connate Purple Qi, which was also guided by him and fused into his body to strengthen his magic power.
……………
On the other side.
In the mansion of Minister Li.
It was just noon, and the sun should have been high in the sky, but the sky was very gloomy. There were no clouds for thousands of miles, and the sun's light could not shine here at all.
With this mansion as the center, the surrounding hundreds of meters were covered in black clouds.
The black clouds suddenly gathered and blocked all light, leaving only endless darkness.
It was clearly daytime, but it was like night, so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers.
Only by lighting up the candles in the surroundings could the mansion be illuminated.
Minister Li was very nervous. He stood at the door of a room and clenched his fists, not daring to sit down.
Now that he sat down, he felt uneasy.
Because today was the day the Ghost King was going to get married, he would definitely send ghosts over.
"Wuwuwu!"
Sobbing sounds came from the room. It sounded like a woman crying.
The voice was extremely pleasant to the ear, like a beautiful lark. However, when it cried, it gave off a feeling of sadness.
It was simply making people cry and listeners sad.
When Minister Li heard the crying, his heart ached.
He looked through the window at the woman in the wedding dress.
What kind of face was that?
Her skin was like butter, it could be broken by bullets, her eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows were all beautiful, she had a beauty that could topple a country.
That woman was his daughter, Li Xiaodie, a famous beauty in White Cloud Town.
She had a gentle temperament, treated people kindly, and was very attractive. She was only twenty years old now, and it should have been time for her to choose a good son-in-law. However, she had caught the Ghost King's eye.
This was a huge disaster for the Li family.
Originally, he did not agree to his daughter's marriage, but Li Xiaodie took the initiative to tell him that she wanted to marry.
She did not want to see the Li family destroyed, nor did she want to see the people of White Cloud Town die because of her.
This Ghost King was not an ordinary Ghost King. He had once slaughtered an entire town, and ordinary cultivators could not do anything to him.
Therefore, Li Xiaodie had to sacrifice herself. Otherwise, everyone would suffer.
And today's crying was just to vent the grievances in his heart.
"Xiao Die, you've suffered!" Minister Li's voice came from outside.
Li Xiaodie wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said,""Father, as long as I can protect you and White Cloud Town, I won't suffer.”
Hearing this.
Minister Li felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife.
This daughter of his was really too sensible and made his heart ache.
He wished he had the ability to kill the Ghost King.
However, this was just a thought.
