This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 53 The Japanese Cause Trouble, the So-Called Shikigami
After dinner, Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhong Bai, whose expression was calm and expressionless, hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to break the silence.

"Fellow Daoist Qianhe, may I ask what is so special about Jiuquan Town?"

Even now, Zhang Zhiwei still doesn't understand what made that Japanese sorcerer choose to stay in Jiuquan Town and indiscriminately kill innocent people right under his nose.

Last time he was followed, Zhang Zhiyi's Dao Yang Five Thunders almost seriously injured him. Without sufficient profit to drive him, that Japanese sorcerer shouldn't have stayed here.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Zhang doesn't know?"

Zhong Bai didn't say that on purpose. Although Jiuquan Town is under the jurisdiction of Maoshan, Longhushan should be aware of places like the Three Killings Position.

"Ahem, to be honest, Fellow Daoist Qianhe, before I went down the mountain, I was engrossed in cultivating thunder magic and comprehending the Daoist canon, and I didn't pay much attention to the situation down the mountain."

"Haha, I see. So, Fellow Daoist Zhang hasn't delved into Feng Shui, Qimen Dunjia, or Bagua either. Otherwise, you wouldn't have failed to see that the entire Jiuquan Town is at the center of a gathering of malevolent energy!"
The entire town is located at the site of the Three Fiends, so it's likely that the Japanese sorcerer's presence in Jiuquan Town causing trouble is related to this situation.

"The Three Killings Position!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately frowned and said, "I see, I see!"
For most people, the Three Killings position is something to be avoided at all costs.

But these Japanese sorcerers are different.

His skill in controlling shikigami requires him to devour living souls to continuously improve.

Since Jiuquan Town is located in the Three Killings position, the shikigami (spirits) are more likely to digest living souls under the impact of the killing energy. No wonder this beast is causing trouble even more frequently!

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing the ultimate killing intent towards that Japanese sorcerer!
“Indeed, but Fellow Daoist Zhang need not worry. Now that I have returned to Jiuquan Town, I will never tolerate such a beast from Japan continuing to harm the people of Kyushu!”

"Fellow Daoist Qianhe..."

Just as Zhang Zhiwei was about to say something more, Zhong Bai's brows furrowed.

"The seal within the church!"

Zhong Bai stood up, his eyes filled with anger. He had only just mentioned the Three Fiends position, but the Japanese sorcerer was so impatient that he had actually found the seal of the Three Fiends position.

He probably wanted to break the seal and use the evil energy to accelerate the growth of his shikigami. Unfortunately, he did not expect that the church where the three evil positions were sealed was so close to Zhong Bai's courtyard.

"Dare to touch the tiger's backside... Fellow Daoist Zhang, I think that Japanese sorcerer won't live past tonight!"

Zhang Zhiwei, who was initially a little confused, also got up.

He turned his head to look in the direction Zhong Bai was looking.

A malevolent aura began to gather above the church, clearly not formed naturally!
"Spring flowers and summer lotus, you should stay in the courtyard and not go out. This humble Taoist priest and I, Master Zhang, need to make a trip!"

"Yes, sir, please go ahead without worry!"

Chunhua and Xiahe were very sensible. Zhong Bai looked at Zhang Zhiwei, and in the instant their eyes met, they both understood what the other meant.

With a whoosh, Zhong Bai transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot.

Zhang Zhiwei was no less impressive; he moved like a bird, his toes lightly touching the ground before his body flew away at lightning speed.

......................................................

Inside the church.

After Zhong Bai killed the vampire, the Yang family handed it over to Zhong Bai to handle. Although Zhong Bai didn't find it very useful, he kept it closed and wouldn't open it again.

But at this moment, inside the church hall, a man dressed in black was excitedly staring at what was in front of him. "Hehehe, I never thought my luck would be so strong. With the living souls of the people of Kyushu combined with the dense evil energy of this place, my shikigami will surely advance even further. At that time, what can that little Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain do to me!"

Kyushu will one day become a slaughterhouse for the Japanese…

With a strange smile on her lips, Hua Teng Qian Shu began to determine the location based on the amount of malevolent energy.

Before long, he discovered a well in the church that was sealed with countless yellow talismans.

"The source of this malevolent energy is right here..."

Hua Teng Qian Shu was extremely excited. He was about to reach out and smash the yellow talisman in front of him when, in the next second, a purple streak of light flashed through the void and landed right in front of him.

Before he could even see what was coming, Zhong Bai, who was standing opposite him, was already barely able to contain his anger!

"Japanese devils... It seems you beasts don't understand the power of Kyushu."

They actually dared to set their sights on my Daoist temple, killing the people of my Nine Provinces…

Zhong Bai's voice was extremely cold. Hua Teng Qian Shu opposite him had an extremely solemn expression. The young Taoist in front of him felt even more terrifying than the disciple from Longhu Mountain!
"People from Kyushu!"

No sooner had she said that than several darts flew out from Hua Teng Qian Shu’s hand, heading straight for Zhong Bai’s brow. Zhong Bai didn’t even bother to dodge; his internal energy surged, and the darts, which had been unstoppable, were knocked away when they were only three feet away from him.

"how come!"

Seeing this, Hua Tengqianshu was somewhat surprised. After all, in his understanding, most of the young Taoists in Kyushu practiced supernatural powers and magic, which were probably very effective against demons and evil spirits.

However, when it comes to throwing knives, he is quite inadequate. It was precisely because of his superb skill in using hidden weapons that he was able to escape from Zhang Zhiwei's hands several times.

But now... the Taoist priest opposite him doesn't seem to be afraid of his ninjutsu.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Qianhe to be able to form Qi and Blood into Qi and Blood. That's quite rare."

Just as Hua Tengqianshu was sweating profusely, Zhang Zhiwei's voice rang out behind her. Without even turning around, Hua Tengqianshu knew that she was surrounded.

"People of Kyushu, I am a member of the Hua Teng family, you cannot kill me!"

? ? ? ? ?

Zhong Bai was stunned upon hearing this.

Similarly, Zhang Zhiwei laughed out loud when he heard this.

“Fellow Daoist Qianhe, this beast from Japan knows how to use a big flag to intimidate others. Unfortunately, the little Hua Teng family is nothing to Japan, let alone the whole of Japan. Even if you are that damned Emperor of Japan, you would only have the fate of waiting to be slaughtered in front of the two of us!”

Isn't it a little ridiculous?
Using their families to threaten Maoshan and Longhushan?
Knowing the outcome would be this way, Hanafuchi Chishu completely gave up on begging for mercy and compromising.

"If you want to kill me, you'd better have the strength!"
"Great shikigami samurai, emerge!"

The moment the words fell, Hua Teng Qian Shu spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and in an instant, wisps of black smoke billowed from his body.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes slightly, while Zhong Bai was somewhat curious about what this so-called shikigami was.

Soon, black smoke billowed out, and a humanoid black figure about two meters tall stood in front of Hua Teng Qian Shu, exuding a ghostly aura and gathering a lot of malevolent energy.

Zhong Bai roughly understood what a shikigami was.
