Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 624 Gang Fight and Jade Theft
"Boom..."

A thunderclap boomed in the sky outside the hospital, immediately startling many people.

In Bone Spirit Street, behind some doors and windows that have been closed for years, pairs of eyes opened and looked out in confusion.

Li Ji, who was on night watch, stopped and looked into the distance with a heavy expression. After a moment, he snorted coldly, "Serves him right!"

He then ignored them and continued his night watch.

At that moment, Xingbaozhu looked towards the hospital from the rooftop and chuckled.

"Having their divine status severed is truly retribution. Now, the Seven Evil Gods are down to six."

After a burst of laughter, Xingbao Master's eyes darted around, and he produced a compass in his hand to try and figure out what was going on.

The result of this calculation was a hazy, indistinct view, as if one were in a heavy snowfall, unable to see anything.

"Hmm, the Immortal's Crossing, such a rare destiny, even though it is incomplete, is already quite remarkable. Could it be that it has been planned for a long time?"

The Star Treasure Master calculated and calculated, but couldn't figure it out. So, with a look of utter displeasure, he threw the compass aside and said, "It's only right that you, Changchun, would suffer this calamity. Someone has removed this thorn from your side, saving us the trouble of taking action ourselves."

"died!!"

Qieyu trembled all over, staring blankly at Xingxie's severed head, an unprecedented sense of fear washing over him.

Never before had he felt such fear.

That's a god, a god descending in person. Although it might be considered a violation of the rules, it's still a close call, since he was personally summoned by the altar.

However, it is unbelievable that such an evil god, whom the Changchun Society had to worship with utmost care, was beheaded in an instant.

Instantly, a strong sense of unfamiliarity arose in Qieyu's heart. He had been in the Lost City for countless years.

Thinking he was very familiar with the Lost City, Qieyu realized at this moment that he was wrong, terribly wrong. The Lost City's mystery was beyond their comprehension. Just like this Plum Blossom Taoist, he was unheard of, yet his power was unbelievable.

At this moment, Xing Xie, whose head had been severed, could still speak. His eyes, still hurting, cursed, "Plum Blossom Taoist, you dare to sever my divine status! We, the Seven Evil Gods, will never let this go. You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them forever. Even a tiger has its moments of weakness."

Plum Blossom Taoist ignored Xing Xie and instead stomped Xing Xie's head under his foot. He then threw the pagoda in his hand up, which transformed into a three-meter-wide and five-meter-high pagoda to suppress it.

Plum Blossom Taoist severed Xingxie's divine status, but it's still far from being completely destroyed; at least the creature's original form is still intact.

However, this wisp of divine essence is a good thing; suppressing it might come in handy later.

After dealing with Xingxie, Plum Blossom Taoist glanced at Qieyu. With just a glance, Qieyu nearly collapsed, even disregarding his dignity, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground.

"Senior, please spare my life! I had no idea about your relationship with them. Please be merciful. I promise that I will never dare to cause them any trouble again. I swear that from now on, if I see them, I will avoid them and never dare to offend them again."

"Holy crap, is this old scoundrel really that shameless? He was just yelling that we'd all suffer a terrible death, and now he's sliding to his knees at lightning speed. He's so skilled at it."

Upon seeing this, the people behind Zhao Hongzhong were once again shocked by the shamelessness of the theft of the jade.

One of the four leaders of the prestigious Changchun Society, known as the Jade Thief who could steal the world, is so despicable. It is truly disappointing.

It's all for naught that when he appeared, he seemed to possess an aura of overwhelming power, as if he could pluck the sun and moon from the sky, and as if he were the only one worthy of respect, with an otherworldly and otherworldly demeanor like a god.

It's only because the people from the Changchun Society are all dead, otherwise I really wanted to show them the pathetic state of their leader.

"Wrong. He's lived to this age; how could he not understand the difference between face and substance?"

The old demon Qinghai and Liumu did not look down on the jade thief; face was the least valuable thing.

Those who are willing to throw away their pride and trample on it are often the ones who are truly capable of great things.

If someone can't even save face, then that person is destined for failure.

Despite the Jade Thief's pleas for mercy, Plum Blossom Taoist ignored him. His gaze seemed to pierce through the Jade Thief, locking onto the trembling evil spirit hiding behind him.

"It turns out to be you."

Plum Blossom Taoist glanced at him and immediately felt that the figure looked familiar. After a moment, he remembered that this evil spirit had once shared a life-or-death bond with him.

"When you meet someone you know, why don't you come out and say hello?"

As he spoke, Plum Blossom Taoist reached out and grabbed at the back of Qieyu, pulling out the ghostly shadow behind him.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the evil spirit only had an upper body and no lower body.

Held in the hands of Plum Blossom Taoist, it curled up into a ball and trembled like a little chick.

Well, this was a powerful evil spirit that had come to power, so how did it end up in the hands of Plum Blossom Taoist and become even worse than the Jade Thief?

However, Plum Blossom Taoist's next words immediately enlightened everyone. Plum Blossom Taoist said, "Back then, I was in a hurry and only had time to cut you once. When I looked back, I found that you had actually run away, leaving only half of your buttocks behind. I thought I would never have the chance to see you again, but I never thought that you would still be alive today."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.

No wonder this evil spirit was so terrified; it must be because of their close relationship.

Plum Blossom Taoist examined the man closely and noticed something unusual about him.

Upon closer inspection, and then looking at the jade-stealing creature lying prostrate on the ground, he immediately understood the reason. "So that's how it is. You're getting worse and worse. A mere mortal managed to control you and bury you in my plum blossom grove. It's almost beneath the dignity of my plum blossom grove."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Qieyu.

This guy is one of the four great leaders, he can even control evil spirits.

Little did people know that this wasn't entirely due to his skill in stealing jade; this guy had already been crippled after being slashed by the Plum Blossom Taoist.

Later, Changchun stepped in and took him in, slowly raising him to his current state. During this process, Qieyu secretly used some methods to gradually control the evil spirit, turning it into his personal servant.

Otherwise, how could the Jade Stealer have traveled such a long distance so quickly, using the ability of his primordial spirit to leave his body?

Without this great evil spirit acting as a power bank, this would never have been possible.

With a flick of his finger, Plum Blossom Taoist sent a plum blossom flying past. Qieyu trembled violently, feeling as light as a gust of wind.

His expression changed instantly, realizing that the connection between him and the evil spirit had been severed by the Plum Blossom Taoist.

But he's in a bind now, unable to say a word against it.

Fortunately, Plum Blossom Taoist had no interest in stealing the jade, or rather, he didn't take it seriously at all.

After severing the connection between the two, he tossed it behind him: "I'm short of a cat-feeding job here, so you can just do it for now. It'll be a way of repaying the debt I incurred for cutting you back then."

The evil spirit landed on the ground and transformed into a child with only half a body. It bowed respectfully to Plum Blossom Taoist and stood aside with a relaxed expression on its face.

Of course, his eyes would occasionally dart over Qieyu, filled with hatred.

However, Plum Blossom Taoist would not take action against the Jade Thief. It is best for mortals to resolve their own affairs. What would it mean for him to intervene? Would he be bullying a child?
Plum Blossom Taoist couldn't bear the shame.

So he said calmly, "It's up to you."

After saying this, Plum Blossom Taoist flicked his sleeve, and everyone's vision blurred. When they came to their senses, they found themselves back in the hospital.

Looking at the painting again, one could see that in addition to the black cat, there was also a half-child figure in the painting.

"So that's how it is. No wonder, Xing Xie's loss was not unjust."

Upon seeing this, Liu Mu suddenly realized that they had actually been drawn into the painting when Plum Blossom Taoist made his move. Being on someone else's territory, their lives were already in someone else's hands.

Plum Blossom Taoist did not leave. Instead, he turned and walked into the hospital, heading straight for Xiao Ran.

After Plum Blossom Taoist left, Liu Mu and the others all turned their attention to the jade-stealing figure who was crawling on the ground.

Without the support of that great evil spirit, the wisp of Qieyu's primordial spirit had no power to fight back.

When he saw Liu Mu and the others surrounding him, his expression turned even more unpleasant.

"What...what are you going to do??"

"doing what?"

The group exchanged glances, but before they could speak, Jin Chanzi rushed over, stuck two yellow talismans on his feet, and then kicked the jade-stealing boy in the head with his big foot.

"Forget what they're doing, let's beat them up first! Don't just stand there, everyone attack!"

"That Taoist priest is something else!"

Everyone agreed with this reasoning, and they were not about to let Qieyu off the hook. They vented all the suffering and anger they had endured from the Ghost Doctor on Qieyu.

After Zhao Hongzhong and his men fought for a while and realized they couldn't harm the Jade Thief, they were feeling frustrated when Jin Chanzi slapped a talisman on them, instantly protecting them with golden light. When they attacked again, every punch landed squarely.

This time, Qieyu was immediately knocked to the ground and rolled around. It wasn't that he lacked strength, but without the support of the great evil spirit that powered him, he was now even weaker than an ordinary vengeful ghost.

At this moment, Plum Blossom Taoist had already arrived behind Xiao Ran.

Watching Xiao Ran slowly guide two different runes into the girl's body, his eyes changed slightly, but he stood quietly by and watched.

Guiding the fusion of the two types of runes with the runes within the girl's body was clearly a very difficult and thankless task.

However, the girl's body was too weak, making it impossible for her to complete the absorption of the curse runes and advance in a short period of time.

This is why, despite the chaos outside, Xiao Ran was unable to leave.

Watching him manipulate the silver threads with his fingers to stitch the three incantations together, Plum Blossom Taoist sighed: "Great progress, but the method is too clumsy."

When Plum Blossom Taoist spoke, Xiao Ran was startled. She turned around and saw that it was Plum Blossom Taoist before she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes immediately lighting up: "You have a way?"

"It's very simple, but I have one condition."

"condition?"

Xiao Ran was surprised, not expecting that Plum Blossom Taoist would set conditions for her. It wasn't that she shouldn't, but rather that with Plum Blossom Taoist's strength, what could she possibly do? So she asked, "What conditions?"

The Plum Blossom Taoist pointed at the girl in front of him: "I want her..."
