Everyone knelt on the ground in unison.
He kowtowed to Chen Fan.
"The might of the Taixuan Sword Immortal!"
" Invincible Sword Immortal!"
"Thank you, Sword Immortal, for killing the fiendish demon!"
“………………”
Everyone kowtowed devoutly.
Chen Fan raised his hand and said," Everyone, please get up."”
"This Penniless Priest happens to be hungry. Prepare some good wine and food. Only when you're full will you have the strength to kill ghosts!”
An invisible force dragged everyone up, making it impossible for them to continue kneeling.
Everyone was shocked. He was really an immortal. The Taixuan Sword Immortal was too powerful for ordinary methods.
"Alright!" Minister Li nodded repeatedly. I'll get someone to prepare the food and wine now."
Now that the sky was getting dark, it was time for dinner.
………………
As time passed, the dishes were soon served on the table, and a fragrance pervaded the air.
Although Chen Fan had just eaten a meal not long ago, when he saw the table full of delicious food, he smiled and started eating.
The taste of these delicacies was not inferior to those made in the inn. The meat was fresh and delicious.
"Are you satisfied?" Minister Li smiled.
He didn't know what Chen Fan's taste was, so he just gave the order to follow the highest standards.
"Not bad!"
Chen Fan nodded.
Li Xiaodie was also sitting at the table, taking small bites of food, looking like a lady from a wealthy family.
She stole glances at Chen Fan from time to time.
It was like a dream to be able to sit and eat with the legendary Taixuan Sword Immortal.
This was the person she idolized.
Chen Fan felt Li Xiaodie's gaze and could tell that she admired him.
However, he did not say anything.
"Right, what do I need to prepare to get rid of the Ghost King? Do I need an altar or something?”Minister Li asked.
There were rumors in the world that those who had attained the Dao needed to cast spells on the altar and recite incantations.
Chen Fan smiled and said," It's too troublesome to cast spells on the altar. They're just little ghosts. I can kill them easily!"”
Everyone was stunned by Chen Fan's words.
That was a vicious and evil ghost king. It could easily slaughter a person in the mayor's office. How terrifying was that?
However, Chen Fan said it as if it was just an ant. It was really domineering and shocking.
"Taixuan Sword Immortal is really powerful. His Dharmic powers are extraordinary!”Minister Li was stunned for a long time, but he still said this with a smile.
He didn't know how to evaluate Chen Fan. He was indeed powerful.
Moreover, he was so confident. Presumably, the Ghost King was really nothing in his eyes.
However, Chen Fan didn't expect that his words would make others respect him even more.
Not many people dared to look him in the eye.
The others felt more stressed when they were with Chen Fan than when they were with the Emperor, so they had to breathe carefully.
"How domineering. If only I could learn Dao techniques too.”Li Xiaodie looked at Chen Fan with admiration.
Chen Fan continued to eat and ignored the thoughts of the others.
………………
Paper can't hide fire.
The news of Chen Fan killing the ghost quickly spread throughout White Cloud Town.
This was ruining the Ghost King's plans.
Countless people were terrified. When they recalled that the Ghost King had once massacred a town, all the townspeople were so scared that their scalps went numb. They felt that the sky was about to collapse.
This was too terrifying. The Ghost King would definitely punish them. At that time, they might all die.
Especially some young people, they were still in their prime and did not want to die at all.
At the mayor's mansion.
A slightly plump man with a beard was pacing back and forth in the living room. His eyes were filled with worry.
As he walked, he even casually picked up a teacup and threw it on the ground.
The teacup shattered with a bang, and the tea spilled onto the ground, giving everyone present a fright.
"Where did this Taoist priest come from? Why did he ruin the Ghost King's plans?”
"It's over now. The Ghost King will definitely punish us!”
This person was the mayor of White Cloud Town. He had been managing this place conscientiously for many years, but he did not expect to cause such a big trouble.
In front of the Ghost King, whether it was the mayor or anyone else, they would probably die.
"Mayor Wang, we still have a way to remedy this. Hurry up and go to the Li family and arrest all of them. Also, tie up that stinky Taoist priest and apologize to the Ghost King!”
A shifty-eyed man below suggested.
The mayor stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes. He felt that this was a good thing.
"Good idea."
A smile appeared on the mayor's face as he thought of the wealth of the Li family. He was famous for his wealth, and everyone in the countryside knew his name.
He was especially good at making money. His family had a lot of businesses. Even if he lay down and relied on those businesses, he would not have to worry about food and drink for a few lifetimes.
This kind of wealth had been coveted by the mayor for a long time.
However, Minister Li was famous for being a good person, and there were too many people who accepted his kindness.
If they didn't have a good reason to raid Li Yuanwai's house, it would probably cause public anger.
However, it was different now. Minister Li had offended the Ghost King, so wasn't this a reason for him to come knocking on his door?
The mayor laughed proudly in his heart.
On the surface, he ran White Cloud Town conscientiously, but in reality, he was very greedy and had high requirements for taxes.
He said that it was for the construction of White Cloud Town, but in fact, a lot of money was embezzled by him.
He only wanted to earn more money.
"Little Six, call someone to make a trip to Minister Li's house.”
He waved his hand, and the shifty-eyed young man from before nodded and hurriedly went to call for help.
Soon, a large group of aggressive guards from the City Lord's Estate was called over. There were more than 30 of them, all of whom were holding cold weapons in their hands, ready to punish them.
Moreover, the mayor also called a seemingly refined person to write a list of crimes. The crimes of Minister Li were all written on it.
Only then would he be able to go out and settle the score with the other party.
After writing the letter of conviction, the mayor grinned and personally pasted the letter of conviction outside the door. Then, he aggressively led a group of people towards Minister Li's mansion.
………………
Not long after they left.
A group of townspeople came out to look at the list of crimes.
"Official Li, the first crime is to repeatedly invite Taoist priests to eliminate ghosts, offend the Ghost King, and harm the entire town!”
"The second crime is harboring evil intentions and repeatedly going against the wishes of the mayor, unwilling to marry off his daughter.”
"The third crime is to kill the Ghost King's envoy and completely anger the Ghost King.”
There were still a lot of crimes behind them, so they had a good reason to do so.
And they died at the end. Today, they must marry Little Butterfly to the Ghost King and kill the Ghost King's envoy. They would capture her and personally offer her to the Ghost King.
Please do not panic.
When many people saw these crimes, their expressions turned ugly. For a moment, they did not know what to say.
Minister Li was such a good person, but he was accused of being worse than an animal.
Besides, Minister Li had already done a lot for White Cloud Town by marrying off his daughter.
However, they had invited a powerful Taoist priest who had killed a few evil ghosts. They couldn't be happier.
Although some people were afraid.
However, in White Cloud Town, many people were still grateful to Minister Li.
After all, he had helped them time and time again and made their lives better.
"Sigh! What a sin!"
"Now, Mayor Wang really can't tolerate Official Li anymore.”
“…………”
Many people knew in their hearts that the mayor had his eyes on the wealth of Li Yuanwai's family.
However, no one said it out loud. After all, these words offended people.
Of course, there were also people who clapped and cheered.
"Minister Li, you're unwilling to marry your daughter and harmed the entire town. You really deserve to be killed!”
The person who spoke was a man in his twenties.
This was an extremely selfish person. He did not feel grateful to anyone who had helped him before.
He even said that those people sucked his blood and that none of them were good.
Everyone shook their heads. They couldn't be bothered to stay here and see this person in front of them.
