Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 141 This is a war!
Don't let the scholar's seemingly gentle nature fool you; he has a ruthless streak deep down.

Despite enduring several hardships, he never gave up. This sense of responsibility and perseverance moved Xiaoqian, which led to the later incident where he instructed Yan Chixia to hide in the City God Temple.

As for the scholar himself, he was placed in another safe location.

Now that Guo Bei is acting strangely, their original hiding place is no longer safe, so Xiaoqian brought Ning Shusheng to the City God Temple.

Xu Xuan: Is that even possible?
Excellent, excellent, as expected of Ning Caichen! He truly has some skill.

What was omitted during that time was nothing more than whispering sweet nothings in their hiding place and guessing the threads of their affection.

The female ghost's eyes would occasionally glance worriedly at the wailing scholar, a somewhat sticky feeling about them. Hehe.

Of course, Ning's sense of responsibility and courage at critical moments truly surpassed that of most people.

He won the favor of the female ghost with sheer passion.

"I see, that's right."

"Miss Xiaoqian, has the locust tree spirit in Lanruo Temple been making any unusual moves lately?"

Xiaoqian refused to answer; she was still very afraid of her grandmother.

Moreover, the ashes are still in the hands of the other party, leaving him at their mercy.

Xu Xuan nodded and didn't insist; he was a reasonable and good monk.

Since this female ghost refused to collude with the goddess outside, it shows that she still has a bottom line; she just lacks a little help and courage.

He turned around, pulled up Ning Caichen who was still crying, and took him to a corner to talk to him alone.

After a while.

"What! Really?"

"I have never done anything without certainty. I simply need Miss Xiaoqian's help. Could you please assist me?"

"Xiaoqian is a good girl, very sensible. I'll go talk to her."

Ning Caichen was incredibly brave; we have no idea how they got along before.

He rushed forward, grabbed the other person's wrist, and pulled Xiaoqian aside, gesturing wildly and talking about something.

Xu Xuan looked at the wall, as if he hadn't done anything.

Yan Chixia and the others felt that the incredible plan was very likely to succeed.

No one knows what the two said, but Xiaoqian was actually turned to their side.

It was so smooth that someone didn't know what to say. How come it feels like Ning's skill level is higher than mine?
Ahem, the group then gathered around the table to continue the initial operational meeting.

"Young Master Xu, I don't know if you can succeed."

"If it is successful, please help me retrieve my ashes and send them into the cycle of reincarnation."

Everyone naturally agreed to this perfectly reasonable request.

"Grandma told us to go down the mountain to find the person who caused the upheaval in Guobei. It is said that this person will threaten it."

The group looked at Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan looked at Master Mao.

"Then congratulations on finding him. Master Mao is that person."

Instructor Xu cheerfully began his tactical deception.

It's not that I don't believe in Xiaoqian, but that I don't believe in the Tree Demon Granny.

What if this old fox evolves some new methods after being baptized by the laws of the underworld? Xiaoqian is deep behind enemy lines, and it is easy for her intelligence to be detected, so an extra layer of disguise is still necessary.

Master Mao, being a wandering cultivator who had been in the martial arts world for many years, naturally had good judgment and immediately put on the airs of a reclusive master.

Well. Although Xiaoqian didn't quite believe that the Taoist priest who had been chased so badly before was that person, who could say for sure what would happen if things changed?

"How can I help you?"

Xu Xuan asked, "What is the Longevity Fruit?"

"It is the body of the scholar who died earlier."

Several people felt nauseous; it turned out that what Guo Bei and his men had been scrambling for was actually this kind of thing. Xu Xuan also felt somewhat disgusted—what kind of human-body fruit was this?
That means we can only make a batch of imitations, and we can't let those guys actually get their hands on them and eat them.

Then he gave the ghost a task that would surprise it.

"It's very simple. I have a list here. Please take these half-human, half-ghost monsters back to Grandma as offerings."

Without hesitation, Xu Xuan wrote down a list of the most powerful leaders he had learned about while gathering information in the city.

Previously, they were the most domineering big shots in Guo Beili, and after becoming half-human and half-ghost, they were among the most severely demonized.

He is usually surrounded by a group of cowardly thugs who bully the weak and fear the strong.

A snake cannot function without a head; this multi-headed decapitation tactic is designed to clear obstacles.

Xiaoqian was a little confused after hearing this. "What are you going to do with them if you take them all away?"

"Unify Guobei!"

Counterattack Lanruo!

Xu Xuan was prepared to be consumed by karmic flames, but it would be too cruel to personally slaughter a city of people protected by destiny; he was kind-hearted.

Yan Chixia also couldn't accept it, or rather, everyone could accept the death of all the villains, but they couldn't accept being killed by another human.

This is the compassion within the race, which is why great figures like Lord Wu'an are remembered in history for so long.

Left with no other choice, Mr. Xu had to opt for a slightly more troublesome approach.

After all, the mission of the Justice Squad cannot be too evil.

The only option is to let these half-human, half-ghost creatures get intimate with the tree spirit.

What kind of skill is it to extract marrow from bones? In the eyes of the holy monk, the value of this group of combustible trash should be utilized until they are reduced to ashes!
Besides, it's not difficult for someone to start such a small war.

"Oh, and bring a few more goddesses who usually have high performance and don't get along with you."

"it works."

Even Xiaoqian, a ghost, felt a chill in her heart, gave the monk a deep look, and nodded in agreement.

She was a well-bred lady in life, but after her death, she witnessed so much darkness in people's hearts and became extremely accepting of deceit and treachery.

Besides, there's no risk in doing this, and it'll also please Grandma.

After exchanging a few words with Ning Caichen, he drifted away and went to arrest people according to the list.

Many ghosts, surrounded by followers, were taken away by the goddess and used as sacrifices without knowing why.

The Justice Squad can't easily use magic, but Xiaoqian doesn't care about that.

In an instant, Guo Bei was completely thrown into chaos.

When Granny Lanruo Temple saw the seven or eight half-human, half-ghost creatures that had been brought there, she was bewildered. But after hearing that they were all prominent figures in the city, she drained them all dry.

Even if they aren't the threatening person, they can still be a side dish.

"Xiaoqian did a great job this time, keep it up."

Many female ghosts retreated, among them a female ghost who had always disliked Xiaoqian, who smiled sinisterly.

"I thought Sister Xiaoqian was some kind of refined lady, but it turns out she's no different from us."

"Yes, yes"

Hearing the cacophony of sarcastic remarks, Xiaoqian didn't pretend not to hear them as she usually did. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and made a few sarcastic comments.

The female ghosts' faces contorted with rage, and ghost fire suddenly burst forth.

Seeing that Xiaoqian seemed to be in a hurry to go down the mountain, he hurriedly followed her to teach this slut a lesson.

As soon as they entered the city, they were captured by Yan Chixia and Master Mao and taken back to the dilapidated temple.

If you can't beat the tree demon, can't you beat the female ghost?
Xu Xuan smiled as he looked at the several terrified female ghosts who were locked up. Pretty efficient, huh?

“Young Master Xu, I have also discovered that the tree demon’s roots have extended from the mountaintop to the mountainside, where there are many more locust trees. Please be careful.”

This woman was truly head over heels in love with Ning Caichen. After deciding to rebel, she took the initiative and uncovered a great deal of intelligence.
