Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

As the old Taoist priest spoke, a greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

I didn't expect that after just closing a deal with Tianxian Academy, two more would come knocking on my door.

We have to finish this quickly, otherwise we'll suffer a huge loss if someone else captures us.

Upon hearing the old Taoist's words, the young man beside him quickly took out the prisoner, about to make a move, when he heard the old Taoist say in a somewhat exasperated tone.

"Fool! Use the Golden Lock Talisman! Who told you to use the Fiery Talisman? We're going to capture you alive!"

"But Master, didn't you say that everyone has the right to kill him?"

Compared to the so-called capture alive, the boy's simple sense of right and wrong told him that killing the other party directly and decisively might be the best choice.

"Shut up! Use the Golden Lock Talisman right now!"

"Do you know how much she's worth?!"

The old Taoist roared, "This rare and exquisite creature could fetch an astonishing price if sold to the Celestial Academy. How could I possibly kill it?"

As for those so-called righteous words from before.

It's only used to deal with silly boys.

The young man was silent.

Urged by his master, he changed the talisman.

A golden lock suddenly appeared.

In the distance, a commotion seemed to be rising from the crowd, as if the Taoist priests of the Celestial Academy had discovered the demon race.

. . . . . .

In the small courtyard.

Having almost completely washed away the bloodstains on the ground, and with dinner in mind, Lin Yu put down the broom, stretched, and glanced at the sky.

"What did those two little girls buy? They haven't come back for so long."

Lin Yu muttered something under his breath, and was about to go to the kitchen to start a fire and do some preparations when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came running straight towards the courtyard, filled with a sense of panic.

Lin Yu, still in the kitchen, frowned slightly.

Having spent so much time with the two little girls, I naturally remember some small details, like the sound of their footsteps.

However, what Lin Yu cared about even more was that he only heard Tu Shan Rongrong's footsteps, but not Tu Shan Honghong's.

'Has something happened?'

Lin Yu put down the kitchen knife, turned around and went into the yard, heading towards the door.

The sounds around him became clearer as Lin Yu drew closer.

He could hear other footsteps behind Tu Shan Rongrong.

"Squeak."

Lin Yu opened the door.

As soon as it was opened, Tu Shan Rongrong's pale face, filled with panic, came into view.

The tear glistening in the corner of her eye conveyed helplessness and terror, evoking pity in the viewer.

"what happened?"

Lin Yu's voice remained calm and gentle.

"Sister, sister, she's been arrested!"

Seeing Lin Yu was like finding a source of comfort and a reliable support for Tu Shan Rongrong.

She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu gently placed his hand on Tu Shan Rongrong's head. Before he could offer any words of comfort, the sound of footsteps following closely behind her was already approaching.

"right here!"

"So you really had accomplices! You have some nerve!"

"How dare you harbor a demon! This is a heinous crime punishable by death!"

Lin Yu raised his eyes slightly and saw two figures in dark blue walking towards him from not far away.

The two were dressed in Taoist robes, with hairpins in their hair, making them look like Taoist priests.

However, they were different from the Dao Alliance cultivators that Lin Yu had met before.

"Celestial Academy?"

Looking at the person who had arrived, Lin Yu said calmly.

"If you know that, then get out of my way and stay put. I'll deal with this little demon first, and then I'll deal with you, you scum of humanity."

"Daring to collude with the demon race is courting death."

The speaker was a thin, bony man with triangular eyes.

Although he was wearing a Taoist robe and looked quite proper, he didn't give off any sense of otherworldly elegance; instead, he had a sharp and mean expression.

As he spoke, the man slowly pulled a talisman from his pocket, his eyes fixed on Tu Shan Rongrong with greed.

"I didn't expect to be so lucky today, to run into a little fox of this kind."

In the eyes of this Taoist priest, Lin Yu was completely invisible. He seemed to have assumed that Lin Yu was just an ordinary person who would not dare to defy him, a deity.

As the other party drew closer, Tu Shan Rongrong's shoulders trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear.

Especially the yellow talisman in the other party's hand.

"Honghong was kidnapped by them, right?"

Just as Tu Shan Rongrong was filled with fear, Lin Yu's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Yes, that's them."

Tu Shan Rongrong spoke with a trembling voice.

"Kid, you want to stand up for this demon?"

It seemed that they sensed something unusual in Lin Yu's words.

The guy with the triangular eyes grinned, looking at Lin Yu with a mocking expression in his eyes.

"Yes, so what?"

Lin Yu pulled Tu Shan Rongrong behind him and walked towards the two Taoist priests on his own.

"how?"

"I was originally planning to leave you for last, but since you're courting death, I'll take pity on you and grant your wish."

The man with the triangular eyes sneered as he watched Lin Yu reach into his robes and another talisman appear in his hand.

Chapter 59 A Powerful Suppression: It's Time to Settle the Score

"disease!"

I didn't see him making any moves.

I didn't hear any long incantations.

With just a single, brief word, the talisman in his hand suddenly burst into flames.

Lin Yu watched the other person's movements, his steps remained unchanged, and he did not change his stance because of the other person.

Although this was his first time facing a human cultivator.

But there was no ripple in my heart.

If it were a cultivator from the Dao Alliance, he might take it more seriously.

But if he's just a guy from the Celestial Academy, sorry, this guy with the triangular eyes isn't worthy of the title.

As the talisman in his hand burned, a surge of heat suddenly appeared in the air.

Like a magical spell, a fireball half the height of a person appeared in front of Lin Yu, burning fiercely and radiating intense heat. The surrounding air was slightly distorted due to the high temperature.

Fireball?

Watching the opponent's offensive, Lin Yu remained calm, without even frowning.

Instead, a sense of interest arose in my heart.

He was wondering what methods the other party would use, judging from their appearance, they were the lowest level among cultivators.

It seems there wasn't even a flying sword; it turns out there was this kind of method after all this time.

Looking at the enormous fireball hurtling towards him at incredible speed, Lin Yu's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He did not use any internal energy, nor did his body shimmer with golden light.

He simply made the most basic movement: clench his fist, raise his hand, and throw a punch!

"Boom!"
