One person: Twelve talismans, starting by beating up the old Celestial Master.

Because this was a scam from the start.

Besides, even if I don't kill that transmigrated Quanxing demon today, it probably won't be long before it attracts the company's attention.

During his years of spiritual practice at Longhu Mountain, he also interacted with people from the company's East China region.

He naturally knew that many of the people in the company were not easy to deal with.

If the people at the company find out and send people over, who knows what they might do to the villagers?

At this moment, he pushed open the door to Old Wang's house, and the big yellow dog that was responsible for guarding the yard immediately wagged its tail and came over.

Old Wang, who was inside the house, had already sobered up. Seeing Zhang Lingfeng return, he quickly pointed to the crying outside.

"Master, what are they doing...?"

Zhang Lingfeng sat down, took a sip of water, and then smiled at him.

"Evil spirits are dead."

"He is dead, and those clay figures created because of him have naturally crumbled, returning to dust and ashes."

Upon hearing this, the old man was so grateful that he was about to kneel down to Zhang Lingfeng again, but a gentle force stopped him.

"Alright, it's getting late. A group of people will probably be coming to the village to investigate soon, and then..."

The old man then hurriedly said

"I understand, Daoist Master. I won't reveal anything about you to them."

Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng laughed heartily.

"What are you talking about? I'm not some evil spirit or heretic; I'm a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain."

"Just be open and honest. Answer whatever they ask, say whatever comes to mind, don't worry."

"Don't worry, they won't confiscate the talismans I gave you."

.........

next morning

Zhang Lingfeng was also preparing to leave the small village, but just before leaving, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Old Man Wang.

"Uncle, would you like to take a walk with me?"

Old Man Wang readily agreed.

The old man and the young man slowly walked out of the village, and soon they saw the Prado parked at the village entrance.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

The old man smiled and pointed at the car.

Yes, this is my son's car.

Zhang Lingfeng smiled and nodded. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he opened the car door.

"Please go back first. Your son is my friend. I will take good care of him from now on."

What Old Wang couldn't see was that the male ghost, the female ghost, and the child ghost were all peering longingly at him through the car window.

Although they were deeply attached to it, they ultimately couldn't leave the car even for a moment.

This is why Zhang Lingfeng brought the elderly people here; his purpose was to let them see their loved ones one more time.

The male ghost was awkwardly controlling the Prado's tape recorder, thanking Zhang Lingfeng.

Thank you, Taoist priest, thank you for letting me see my father again.

Zhang Lingfeng simply chuckled at this.

"It's purely a coincidence. I never expected that the Quanxing demon I was supposed to kill was in your village, and I certainly didn't expect to run into your father."

"Don't worry, I left some talismans for the old man to ensure his safety."

After saying that, he paused again.

"As for you, if you behave well in the future, perhaps I can resurrect you in my own way."

The time traveler's method of resurrecting the dead using clay figures gave him some inspiration, since his own rat talisman abilities were actually quite similar to that of the time traveler.

Once he could create this family of three using 3D printing technology, he could use a rat charm to bring them to life, and at the same time, stuff their ghosts into that body.

This can be considered a form of resurrection for them.

Of course, all of this is a story for another time.

What he needs to do now is to return to Tianjin as soon as possible to prepare for the opening of his Yorozuya (Everything-Do-It-All) shop.

Chapter 17: I killed the man; are you two here to demand an explanation?

Three days later, an anime figure studio was established in Heping District, Tianjin.

The store wasn't big, but quite a few people came to support it on opening day.

According to some passersby, luxury cars were everywhere on the day the studio opened.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Mulsanne, Ferrari FUV were everywhere, and there was even a Hongqi L5 with a Beijing license plate bearing the number leopard.

It is said that later on, even the Feng family of the World Society got involved.

The president of the World Society, Feng Zhenghao, specially came by car.

Passersby were all amazed, wondering what kind of important figure could have alarmed the World Society.

They were astonished when they saw that the person running the studio was a silver-haired young man dressed in a black Taoist robe.

On one hand, they were captivated by the other person's unparalleled beauty; on the other hand, they were curious about the young man's background.

It wasn't just ordinary people who were curious; this matter also caused quite a stir within the community of people with supernatural abilities.

After all, some sharp-eyed people recognized that among those who came to support the opening day were not only Feng Zhenghao of the Tianxia Society.

There's even the current patriarch of the Lu family, one of the four great families, Lu Jin, the old master of the Lu family.

Including that guy who rode in the Leopard-themed Hongqi L5, the one from Xigu Pavilion in Beijing.

Two of the ten most famous figures in the circle came directly.

Another one is the younger brother of another member of the Ten Elders.

Who on earth could have such influence?!

But when they saw that the shop owner was Zhang Lingfeng, one of the two masters of the Jade Wind Sect of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, they all understood.

"Longhu Mountain and the Celestial Master's Mansion—these are indeed significant locations. The fact that they can attract so many big shots shows they have real substance."

"Fool, don't you know that the girl from the Lu family is engaged to Ling Feng, who is very likely to inherit the position of Celestial Master in the future? It's only natural that the Lu family would come to show their support."

"What I'm actually curious about are Feng Zhenghao and Ru Bao."

"Is it surprising that Feng Zhenghao came? After all, the World Society is also in Tianjin, and Ling Feng Zhenren, that old fox, naturally needs to be careful with his connections in Tianjin."

"Only that leopard from the Ancient Absorption Pavilion, I can't understand it."

"I can't see through him either, but that leopard knows both the legitimate and criminal worlds inside and out. Although his methods aren't as good as his second brother, that tiger, his insight is definitely the best among the three brothers."

"The world of the big shots is beyond our comprehension."

.........

Quanxing side

When Ding Shian and Tu Junfang learned of Yu Wa's death, they couldn't help but sigh.

They weren't lamenting the frog himself, but rather resentful of not knowing about the Jia Shen Rebellion that the other party had mentioned.

Tu Junfang took a sip of beer and pursed his lips.

"If only I had that brat from the Lü family next to Xia He use the Soul-Clearing Technique to extract that kid's memories beforehand."

Ding Shian shook his head dismissively at this.

"Come on, if you were really going to do that, you would have done it immediately. By the way, have they found Zhang Huaiyi's grave yet?"

Tu Junfang then downed the wine in his glass.

"Yes, we need to urge them to hurry up; the company has their eyes on us."

"That guy named Yu Wa, his body was taken away by the company the next day."

Ding Shian simply responded with an "oh".

"I have no interest in these things. My curiosity about the Jia Shen Rebellion stems from a desire to see if any survivors were found, and perhaps even to engage them in combat."

Tu Junfang chuckled.

"Me too. On the contrary, the Four Madmen are very interested in this kind of thing and are doing it themselves."

…………

That night

A woman with long, alluring pink hair was lounging on a sofa in a bar, next to a bespectacled young man.

They were surrounded by a group of men who were showering them with attention, their eyes fixed on the pink-haired woman on the sofa, as if she were already their prey.

These two were none other than Xia He, the "Bone-Scraping Knife" of Quanxing, and Lü Liang, the rebellious child of the Lü family.

Looking around, Lü Liang couldn't help but chuckle.

"As expected of Sister Xia, she's got them all completely mesmerized. That way, all the money for drinks is covered."

Xia He merely glanced at the dazed-looking crowd around her.

"Let's finish our drinks and continue searching for clues about Zhang Huaiyi."

Xia He had no interest in these people, as she was completely absorbed in a piece of information she had just received.

The masked man who recently joined Quanxing and provided crucial clues for everyone is dead.

Of course, Xia He didn't care whether he lived or died.

According to intelligence from informants, a major battle took place in the woods outside the village, during which golden light and thunder magic appeared intermittently.

This piqued Xia He's interest.
