No taboos

Chapter 493 Unjust Money (Eight Thousand)

In just fifteen minutes, Xu Yuan had settled everything with the Zhu family, and the whole process could be described as "easy and pleasant".

When Zhu Yangping escorted Xu Yuan out, Xu Yuan was still confused: He thought it would be a tough negotiation!

The Zhu family only has one fourth-rate member.

This is their only claim to power as a prominent family in southern Jiaozhi.

If anything unexpected happens, the Zhu family's status will definitely plummet—how could they agree to help so easily?
In fact, as soon as Xu Yuan entered the Zhu family and met the elders, they readily agreed as soon as he opened his mouth!

They didn't even ask what kind of reward Xu Yuan was going to offer for helping them this time.

Then, the elders kindly inquired about some family matters from Xu Yuan.

They then treated Xu Yuan to another dish, which was said to be a specialty of the Zhu family called "Egg Ice Rice Wine," before seeing him off.

Several ancestors guaranteed that the fourth-rate member of the Zhu family would definitely arrive tonight.

The oldest is Zhu Yangping's grandmother, who is over 100 years old.

That fourth-rate Zhu Ben is her own son.

The old lady smiled and assured Xu Yuan, "Don't worry, if he dares not to go, I'll use my cane to make him go."

Xu Yuan always felt that... the Zhu family seemed to be treating him too well.

Could it be because of Zhu Zhanmei and Zhu Zhanlei?

Are they, siblings, that important in the family?

After returning from the Zhu family, he met up with Wenren Luo at Yaoji Inn.

The two whispered for a while, speculating about which forces might be behind this incident.

Wenren Luo was the one doing the talking, and Xu Yuan was listening.

Wenren Luo concluded that the root of the problem still lay in Beidu.

He then told Xu Yuan about all the forces in Beidu that might be involved in this matter.

Xu Yuan didn't know much about Beidu, so he didn't offer any random analysis. He kept everything in mind and would adapt to the situation later.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wenren Luo said, "Let's move out."

Wenren Luo went to the appointment alone.

After Xu Yuan waited for him to leave, he opened his mouth and spat out a dragon-spitting mirage, concealing himself and silently following behind.

With the advancement of the "Dragon Transformation Technique," the "Dragon Spitting Mirage" technique has become a fourth-rate technique.

Now, when it's used, it's almost flawless.

……

As the head of the Exorcism Department in Hue, Bi Bojie held a certain position in the city.

He lived in Huiyu Lane in the west of the city, and discreetly bought only a two-courtyard house.

It's just enough for one family.

Bi Bojie had wanted to leave for a long time and never intended to settle down in Hue.

This house is cheap, and it will be easy to sell in the future.

Wenren Luo rode his horse, the sound of hooves crisp and clear. When he arrived at the gate, a servant was waiting. He smiled and took the reins, helped Wenren Luo off the horse, and then tied the horse to a pillar next to the gate.

The house was ordinary; there were no hitching posts in front of the gate.

"My master and mistress are waiting for you inside, sir."

On the surface, Wenren Luo acted as if everything was normal, as if he had genuinely come to visit an old friend for a drink.

He and Bi Bojie actually had a very good relationship.

He had seen all of these servants when he last visited.

He had been secretly observing these servants.

It was secretly controlled by some means.

The servants behaved very naturally.

Wenren Luo frowned secretly; this was no ordinary method.

Today's game... looks like it's going to be tough.

Xu Yuan also opened the Hope of Destiny from behind.

These servants were clearly still alive and had not been transformed into evil spirits.

Xu Yuan couldn't figure out what methods these people were being controlled by, so he stopped dwelling on the question.

Because Xu Yuan himself had the means to "cure lice".

I believe no one else will notice.

But Xu Yuan reached behind him and grabbed Dafu: "Go and find out what's going on in the courtyard from the evil spirits around here."

Night was falling quickly, and the evil spirits within the city were already stirring.

Dafu then staggered away.

Wenren Luo entered the courtyard and was led by a servant to sit down in the main room. The servant said, "Please have a seat, sir. I will go and invite the master and madam right away."

Wenren Luo sat down without making a sound.

The moment his buttocks touched the chair, the chair suddenly opened like a gaping maw, and a series of sturdy gold locks snapped open, clamping Wenren Luo's hands, feet, and neck.

Several more fang-like blades shot out, aiming at Wenren Luo's vital points!
Wenren Luo remained motionless.

He even casually tapped the chair armrest with his fingers.

"As expected of someone from the Imperial Censor's faction, quite the audacity." A dry voice came from outside the door.

But the person didn't come in; instead, the whole house suddenly burst into flames.

In an instant, it transformed into a raging inferno!

Several figures emerged from the surrounding walls of fire.

There was only a blurry shape; the face was completely obscured.

Wenren Luo frowned: "This is... the evil burning of the Repentance Sect? Has your Repentance Sect also started to act as dogs for the powerful and wealthy in the court?"

The figures in the flames, unmoved by his provocation, calmly said, "Let's cooperate and each get what we need."

As they spoke, the fiery cage rapidly shrank, and the wall of fire advanced forward.

"Quite good at comforting yourself," Wenren Luo continued to mock.

The Hokage who spoke asked, "Where's that dog?"

Wenren Luo smiled and said, "He's at the inn."

The Hokage snorted coldly, and the flames drew closer once more.

The leader of the "Evil Burning" lineage of the Repentance Sect is named "Master Yan".

According to internal records of the Bureau of Purification, the Lord of the Divine Realm has not appeared for twenty years.

His condition is probably similar to that of the scoundrel.

However, the "Evil Burning" lineage under the Lord of the Divine Sect is the most "active" force in the Repentance Sect.

Their motto is "Everything will be reborn from destruction".

So they cause trouble everywhere, always looking for problems even when there aren't any.

These Hokage before me must be disciples of the Lord of the Dao, not him himself.

As the Fire Shadow activated, the wall of fire was already pressing in front of Wenren Luo. The flames ignited countless evil thoughts in people's hearts, making them irritable, violent, and vicious.

"As expected of the arrogant and conceited subordinates of the Supervisor," the Hokage said coldly. "I'll give you one more chance. Hand over that dog, and we'll give you a quick death! Otherwise..."

His hoarse voice turned ferocious: "We're also very interested in turning a subordinate of the Imperial Censor into a 'fire thief'!"

"You will be just like Bi Bojie and the others, completely at my beck and call from now on!"

Wenren Luo suddenly realized: "Bi Bojie's servants have all been turned into fire followers by you."

The Hokage sneered, "That's right! You..."

He was about to continue threatening when he saw Wenren Luo, who was huddled on the chair, suddenly open his mouth and inhale into the wall of fire in front of him!
He swallowed a stream of malevolent flames.

"Utterly stupid!" the Hokage sneered.

Sure enough, the ball of flame, after entering Wenren Luo's stomach, suddenly erupted and set Wenren Luo ablaze!
On the chair, Wenren Luo was burning fiercely, but he was not dead; his body was still moving.

The Hokage said, "You're eager to die? Don't want to bring shame to the disciples of the Kanjō sect? Heh heh, you're too naive. How can the methods of my Evil Burning lineage be judged by ordinary standards?"

By doing this, you'll only accelerate your path to becoming a fire demon!

But Wenren Luo, who was in the flames, spoke up: "I know. I just want to taste the flavor of this flame."

I've always been curious about what exactly your evil flames are.

He smacked his lips and nodded, saying, "Now I finally understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wenren Luo's body on the chair collapsed in the flames!

It transformed into various materials, burning with flames, and rolled off the chair.

"Huh?!" The surrounding fire figures were taken aback.

A hand reached out from behind, passed through the wall of fire, and grabbed the neck of the Hokage who had spoken.

The remaining Hokage immediately dispersed, each carrying a wall of fire.

Four Hokage, four walls of fire.

The one who was speaking was being held by that hand.

With a hoarse roar, he and the wall of fire transformed into billowing flames that burned backward along his hand.

But this hand stood there out of thin air.

It only goes up to the forearm, and then there's nothing there!

This arm is also quite special; it remains unaffected by the raging flames and continues to grip a "shadow" tightly!
Wenren Luo walked out from behind, one hand behind his back, a walnut clutched in his palm.

The other hand... is missing a section below the forearm.

That arrogant look on his face makes anyone want to punch him hard.

“You all underestimate the disciples of the Imperial Censor; you will be punished,” Wenren Luo said.

The shadow that was grabbed by that arm let out screams.

The other three fire shadows became wary, transforming their fire walls into fire-covered garments, which they then draped over themselves, swirling and moving around Wenren Luo with the speed of a raging wind.

But then, three more people named "Wenren Luo" walked out from all around!
"Outnumbered and outnumbered?" The four Wenren Luos spoke at the same time, grinning slyly: "What a coincidence! My method is least afraid of outnumbered attacks!"

How many of you are left? Call them all out at once.

The three fire shadows paused mid-air.

The client offered an extremely high price for this mission.

They happened to be in Hue, so they took the business.

I originally thought that even though we were from the Imperial Censor's faction, there was no reason for us to lose, even with four against one.

All four of them were fourth-rate, on par with Wenren Luo.

It's not that we don't want to send out a third-rate person.

However, within the "Evil Burning" lineage, there are no more top-tier members below the Lord of the Burning.

Or rather... if the Lord of the Dipper doesn't die, this lineage will never produce another top-tier member.

But now, things that seemed certain have changed!

The disciples of the Imperial Censor are indeed not to be underestimated!
The shadow, gripped tightly by that arm, hissed, "Go! I refuse to believe that every one of his clones is only a fourth-rate fighter!"

The other three fire shadows immediately understood: Wenren Luo's "method" was indeed amazing, but how could a fourth-rate person like him create four clones that were also fourth-rate?
"Bluster!" the three fire shadows cursed, then, enveloped in flames, charged towards one of the "Wenren Luo" figures.

The four "Wenren Luo" chuckled: "You really guessed wrong!"

He fearlessly stepped forward to meet them.

The three Hokage clashed with him simultaneously and immediately realized, "He's truly a fourth-rate bastard!"

……

Xu Yuan, standing outside the courtyard, craned his neck to look and exclaimed, "They've started fighting?"

(Why does my movement look more and more like daifuku?)

There were also seven or eight people guarding the courtyard closely.

Xu Yuan glanced at them and immediately recognized that it was Bi Bojie's family.

However, the situation in the courtyard is currently unclear.

Wenren Luo and Xu Yuan agreed on a secret code.

Wenren Luo gave Xu Yuan a walnut.

These walnuts were originally a pair.

In the northern capital, there was an old man who had been playing with walnuts for decades.

Every pair of walnuts he handled, if one broke, the other would break too.

When Wenren Luo and Xu Yuan were helping each other, they would crush walnuts, and then Xu Yuan would rush in.

So Xu Yuan just peeked out from outside the courtyard and thought, "Let them fight if they want to."

Don't rush if the walnuts aren't broken yet.

After a while, Xu Yuan saw Dafu staggering back.

The servant who delivered the invitation to Yao's Inn earlier had a fierce look on his face and was holding a kitchen knife. He was guarding a section of the wall.

Dafu clearly walked right past him, but he subconsciously ignored him and pretended not to see him.

Fu Ye returned to Fan Zhezi's side and told Xu Yuan what he had "inquired" about.

Speaking of which, Dafu really admires human intelligence.

The word "inquire" is a very vivid creation.

You can hear everything you want to know while you're typing.

There is an old locust tree in front of Bi Bojie's house, and a nest of magpies lives in it.

They saw that two hours earlier, five people had come to visit them.

Xu Yuan calculated that this obviously happened after he visited the young marquis and took the puppy away from the marquis's residence.

A gecko in a crack in the wall told Dafu that these people used the fire in their palms to ignite the fire in the eyes of the Bi Bojie family.

Furthermore, an altar was set up in the south wing of the courtyard, where a small shrine was enshrined.

The memorial tablet in front of the shrine has the character "炴" written on it.

That word is always burning.

The shortest of the five remained seated under the shrine in the south wing and never came out again.

Xu Yuan muttered to himself, "Repentance Sect? Master Yan?"

After experiencing the events involving the Scoundrel and the Great Sage of Heaven, Xu Yuan naturally focused on reviewing the records related to the Repentance Cult in the government office.

The Lord of Yan and his "Evil Burning" lineage are really too arrogant.

It can be said that any record from the Ming Dynasty related to the Repentance Teachings will mention them.

Their various methods are, of course, described in detail.

However, this practice of paying respects to the shrine upon entering the house is unprecedented.

Since the Lord of the Divine Realm has not yet become a worldly deity, how could he have a shrine and enjoy incense offerings?
Xu Yuan instinctively felt that something unexpected was about to happen.

"The Lord of Yan has been promoted?!"

Xu Yuan's eyes darted around, and he put his arm around Dafu and whispered something to him.

Xu Yuan was not comfortable leaving this matter to those evil spirits; it had to be done by Master Fu himself.

Dafu stared wide-eyed, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

Xu Yuan: "One hundred catties of live fish and two hundred catties of corn."

I don't like eating either of these daifuku.

But Dafu now has a large family to support.

Dafu had no concrete understanding of "one hundred jin" or "two hundred jin" and didn't have much doubt; Fanzhezi was just fooling himself.

Xu Yuan said in a deep voice, "That's a lot, it'll cost me a full five taels of silver!"

Dafu had no concept of "five taels of silver," but seeing Fan Zhezi's solemn expression, he figured it must be a lot.

Dafu felt embarrassed to ask for more, so he nodded vigorously: "I'll do it."

...In the courtyard, one of the four fire shadows was captured by Wenren Luo, while the other three were locked in a fierce battle with three "Wenren Luos".

Strangely, the aftershocks of the battle between the four factions did not leak out of this courtyard. Although Wenren Luo broke the Flame Cage of the Evil Burning lineage, the power of "Evil Burning" still enveloped the entire courtyard.

It contained the aftermath of the battle.

It wasn't because they cared about the local people, but because the financial backer behind them made this demand.

If the disturbance becomes too great, the city's Mountain and River Bureau will have no choice but to intervene.

By controlling the aftermath of the battle, the financial backer behind the scenes still has ways to keep the Shanhe Division inactive.

The Hokage grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed!

I really can't understand it. We're all fourth-rate, but Wenren Luo can split himself into four, so how can all four of his clones be fourth-rate?

They originally thought that Wenren Luo's four clones could not maintain this level for long.

However, in the blink of an eye, dozens of rounds had already passed, and Wenren Luo showed no signs of weakening.

Wenren Luo was equally sharp-tongued, and ever since the war began, he had been rambling on and on: "With your shallow understanding, of course you cannot fathom the methods of the Supervisor's Sect!"

"The Repentance Sect is nothing but a heretical sect; your foundation is far inferior."

"Before, you could hide in the southwest of Zhengzhou and eke out a living, but now that you've offended the Imperial Censor, just wait, your annihilation is coming soon..."

This last sentence made the Hokage feel uneasy.

I had only heard that the Chief Supervisor was unfathomable before!

The students under the supervision of the Imperial Supervisor are all outstanding individuals, with a wealth of talented people.

But legends aside, they had never experienced it firsthand before, so they weren't particularly afraid.

But now that I've witnessed Wenren Luo's methods... this guy isn't even that outstanding among the third generation of disciples of the adults.

That's some terrifying strength!

If the Supervisor were to eradicate the Repentance Cult... they felt that the Supervisor truly possessed such power!

Could it be that the downfall of the Repentance Sect was caused by a few of us?

Wenren Luo keenly noticed the change in these people's mentality and secretly sneered: A bunch of good-for-nothings!
Rats that hide in sewers and dark channels, unable to see the light of day.

His moral character is poorly cultivated.

Wenren Luo's method is called "Wan Ying Fa" (Universal Response Method).

But it's not as amazing as he claims.

His current limit is only that his three "incarnations" possess a fourth-rate level of skill.

However, each of the various manifestations actually uses the power of a single body.

However, the switching between the three avatars was extremely fast.

In other words, it appears that the three Hokage are each fighting against a clone.

In reality, it was three Hokage fighting against a fraction of "fourth-rate" power.

This was Wenren Luo's strategy.

With a single move, he used an arm-crafted artifact to restrain the strongest of the four Hokage.

The remaining three fire shadows were terrified of this body and dared not provoke it. Instead, they each sought out the other three clones.

If Wenren Luo were to fight with an additional incarnation, his power switching would be noticeably slowed down.

Of course, as a subordinate of the Imperial Censor, Wenren Luo's methods were not limited to these.

In addition, there are several trump cards up their sleeves.

They wouldn't necessarily be defeated and killed, but they certainly wouldn't be as relaxed and at ease as they are now.

Suddenly, Wenren glanced southwards from outside Luo.

When his "all-encompassing method" is activated, he becomes exceptionally sensitive to his surroundings.

They had already noticed that Dafu had quietly entered the house.

Wenren Luo nodded in satisfaction; Junior Brother Xu Yuan had indeed noticed something amiss in the room.

That being the case...

Wenren Luo crushed the walnut with a forceful squeeze of the hand behind his back.

When Xu Yuan saw the walnuts break, his expression changed. He stomped his feet, and the fire wheels rose from his feet, leaving two long trails of fire behind him as they rushed straight into the courtyard!
Bi Bojie and the others let out dry, hoarse roars, like wild beasts!

His face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression, and malevolent flames erupted from his eyes, the top of his head, and around his neck!
The fire of the Fire Disciple rises from within his heart.

This greatly enhanced their strength.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to launch his sword pellet, he saw an elderly man of about sixty years old walking towards him from the other end of the street.

Holding a long pole, he swung it around, making a few sweeping, chopping motions in the air—giving off the air the air of a master calligrapher or painter, wielding it with effortless grace.

Bi Bojie and the others were then swept up by some invisible force in the void.

It tumbled through the air a few times before crashing to the ground with a thud.

Zhu Ben waved his hand at Xu Yuan, meaning, "You can go in now; I'll take care of things here."

Xu Yuan bowed from afar, then propelled his fiery wheel and crashed headfirst into the courtyard.

A wave of intense heat hit me!
The power of evil burning has taken effect, stirring up all sorts of malice within Xu Yuan's heart.

Xu Yuan snorted coldly. Playing with fire with a fourth-rate alchemist?
Xu Yuan opened his mouth and spat towards the sky—

The fire inside his belly raged on and on, rising up in the courtyard and turning into a giant fire mushroom!
Faced with the sudden intruder, the four Hokage were not flustered, because the fifth among them, who had not yet made a move, was sitting in the shrine and borrowing the power of "Master of the Divine Beast" from afar.

Even if Lord Yan does nothing, as long as he continuously sends the power of this "evil flame," ordinary fourth-rate fighters will be too busy to cope and will be unable to intervene in the battle.

When they saw that this newly joined fourth-rate cultivator was actually a pill refiner, and that he was spewing out fire from his abdomen in an attempt to fight against the evil flames, they became even more certain that this person could not cause any trouble.

They only need to focus on dealing with the officials under the command of the Imperial Censor.

The Evil Burning Clan believes their "flame" is unparalleled in the world.

Coincidentally, Lord Xu also thinks so!
The greatest skill of the Evil Flame of the Evil Burning lineage is to amplify the evil thoughts in one's heart.

Everyone harbors various evil thoughts.

The Evil Burning lineage firmly believes that human nature is inherently evil.

The evil thoughts a person generates in their lifetime are more than a hundred times the good thoughts they generate!
Amplifying evil thoughts is a return to one's true nature!

We are unleashing human nature.

But to outsiders, the Evil Burning Clan is also "infecting" living people.

As long as the Lord of the Demons continues to send forth evil flames, they are confident that they can infect anyone in this world!

wrong……

They were being too confident; at least for now, they no longer had the confidence to corrupt the Chief Inspector.

In the south wing, the smallest person was kneeling under the shrine.

It was as withered and lifeless as a dried-up corpse.

After Xu Yuan rushed in, he raised his head slightly, his eyelids rolled up, and his two dry eyeballs moved.

Then it remained as steady as Mount Tai once again.

A hoarse chanting sound came from his mouth.

The sound was like a prayer, or perhaps a scripture.

It was more like a... desperate plea.

The character "炴" that was always burning on the memorial tablet in front of the shrine emitted even more flames.

The power of the evil flames in this small courtyard continued to increase.

Like fog, it grew thicker and thicker.

However, the situation that the Evil Burning lineage had hoped for—that the fire in the abdomen of the newly arrived alchemist would be tainted by evil—did not occur.

They soon discovered that within the fire inside this man's enormous mushroom-shaped abdomen lay a power that was incredibly firm and unyielding!
This force resisted the evil flames.

They were unaware that this was the power of the "Green Monument Fire".

Those who can leave their mark on history must have a firm will in their hearts, so how could they be easily tempted by evil thoughts?
Within the fire in his abdomen, there are several other types of "fire" power.

One of them is full of vitality and hope for everything.

This is optimistic, positive, and completely out of place with malignant inflammation.

This is the power of "spring fire," which wears down the evil flames.

The evil flames that the Lord of the Divine Realm sent over were consumed.

The power of the Lord of the Divine is immense, but the burden of teleporting over extremely long distances is also enormous.

This kind of consumption made him very dissatisfied!
Then they realized that there was another power of fire that was constantly devouring the evil flames!
"Hmm?" The members of the Evil Burning Clan, including the one kneeling in the south wing, all changed color at the same time.

If someone else were to devour the evil flames, they would only laugh.

Is there anyone who dares to devour the evil flames?

Is this because they're worried the malignant inflammation won't spread quickly enough?

But within the fire of this person before me lies a power that can stabilize oneself and resist the invasion of the evil flames.

In other words, once you eat it, you really have eaten it; it only causes harm to the malignant inflammation.

This is the power of "Dragon's Mouth Fire".

Greedy, cunning, ruthless, yet incredibly powerful.

After consuming the evil flames, the fire actually began to assimilate them!
This is the power of "Xiang She Huo".

This fire, within the body of the underworld official, can devour the "life" of evil spirits to strengthen itself.

After Xu Yuan refined the fire, some changes also occurred.

It can actually "digest" all kinds of evil and wicked forces!
"What's going on?!" The entire Evil Burning Clan in the courtyard cried out in unison.

They had never encountered this situation before.

In this world, those who can withstand the onslaught of this evil flame are extremely rare.

And this person... is simply the nemesis of their evil burning lineage!

It's not fair to say they're naive; Xu Yuan is the only person like him in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Wenren Luo watched from the side and burst into laughter.

My junior apprentice, although expensive, will always make you feel that the money is well spent!
The fire in Xu Yuan's abdomen shot straight into the night sky from the courtyard.

Magnificent and imposing, with overwhelming momentum.

The power of the evil flames sent by the Lord of the Darkness from afar was refined by Xu Yuan in just a few breaths.

In the south wing, the fifth person's chanting grew increasingly urgent.

At the same time, he kowtowed repeatedly to the shrine.

dong dong dong...

Soon, the ground in front of them was stained with blood.

Even without his plea, the Lord of Yan would not have given up easily.

Xu Yuan has offended him!

They will be punished...

The fifth person sensed the Lord's wrath and was overjoyed. The Lord would surely unleash a terrifying force to burn and cleanse the world…

Then there was a loud crash, and the shrine on the altar fell down!

"what?!"

The fifth person was speechless.

A large, white shadow flapped its wings and scurried away.

"A goose!" The fifth person could hardly believe his eyes.

Once the altar was set up, the surrounding area was filled with the power of malevolent flames.

The concentration was far greater than in the outer courtyard.

Anyone who enters this room, except for believers of the Lord, will be directly roasted into a dried corpse!
The reason he was so thin was because he was always the one who stayed behind to "accompany" the Lord during every mission.

He's a fourth-rate guy!
How could a goose have crept in so silently, completely unaffected by the evil flames, and with a single peck, destroyed the Lord's shrine!
The shrine fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The channel through which the Lord of the Divine Land sent supplies was immediately cut off!

The fifth man's eyes were bloodshot with rage; this was blasphemy against the Lord! He must be killed!
He rushed up to chase after Dafu.

Dafu was so frightened that he squealed and ran desperately toward the rice trough.

The rice ditch tricked me!
This job is indeed dangerous!
Increase the price! Next time, you absolutely must increase the price!

Xu Yuan saw Da Fu rush out, followed closely by a thin, fiery figure—Lord Xu was furious!
You may disrespect me, but you cannot bully my goose.

laugh--

The fifth Hokage only saw a flash of sword light before his eyes, and when he looked down, he saw a transparent hole in his chest.

Fourth-rate sword pellet!
It's so fast that people can't even react.

However, the subordinate Hokage twisted his body, and the flames rose again, filling the hole in his chest!

The methods of the Evil Burning Clan are also extraordinary.

The thin Hokage's voice was hoarse, yet full of piety: "My lord, grant me immortality!"

"An immortal body?" Xu Yuan sneered. The moment the sword pellet was launched, he activated his "Yin-Yang Eyes," illuminating everything about the thin Hokage with perfect clarity!
Xu Yuan reached out and grabbed the "canceling pen".

Xu Yuan has never used this underworld official's tool since he obtained it.

He flicked the pen through the air towards the top of the skinny Hokage's head.

The frail Hokage's soul was completely scattered!

Snapped!
The slender Hokage exploded, sending flames flying everywhere!
"This is impossible!" The other four Hokage exclaimed in shock.

The methods of the Evil Burning Clan are bizarre.

As long as their souls remain, no matter what injuries their bodies suffer, the evil flames can heal them.

Even if only a trace of the soul remains, they can ignite evil flames to repair it.

This method is similar to how they ignite the evil thoughts in their targets' hearts.

But even after repairs, it's still not the original soul... of course it isn't.

This involves the methods and schemes of the Lord of the Dipper.

But at least it did ensure their survival!
And almost all methods in this world that target the soul are difficult to directly destroy under the protection of the evil flames.

But then he ran into Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan completely suppressed the evil flame.

Xu Yuan also has a pen that can directly cause their souls to be scattered!
Wenren Luo, watching from the side, clapped his hands repeatedly and exclaimed, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

After Xu Yuan killed the skinny Hokage, he turned his attention to the other four Hokage.

boom--

One of the fiery figures burst forth with flames, exploding into a fireball three zhang in size!
Then, with a quick movement, he shrunk over the courtyard wall and tried to escape.

Xu Yuan's sword pellet followed in pursuit.

That person was quite skilled; in a chase, Xu Yuan rode his fiery wheels for hundreds of feet before finally killing him.

Upon returning, Xu Yuan discovered that the remaining three fire shadows had vanished.

Wenren Luo stood smiling in the courtyard, waiting for him.

Xu Yuan asked, "Did you kill them all?"

"They've all been captured." Wenren Luo took out a small cage woven with gold thread, inside which were the three Fire Shadows.

“Take this back to the advisor,” Wenren Luo snorted. “This Repentance Sect is getting more and more arrogant; they even dare to provoke us!”

Xu Yuan remained silent for a while before asking, "You could clearly handle these guys yourself, so why did you have to crush the walnut and make me do it?"

Wenren Luo's eyes widened: "What are you saying? Didn't I give you money? If you took the money, shouldn't you be doing the work?"

"This……"

Wenren Luo: "I paid you to do it, why should I do it myself? I'm the employer, you're the employee, so of course you should do the hardest work!"

Xu Yuan was both amused and exasperated, yet unable to refute it.

Wenren Luo grumbled, somewhat regretting, "If I had known these people were so useless, I wouldn't have wasted that money..."
