Chen Mo grabbed Sang Tugong by the neck with one hand, as if he were holding a chick.

Sang Tugong's face turned red, his limbs struggled in vain, and his eyes were filled with fear.

He now regrets why he had to be the first to stick his neck out.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

Chen Mo looked at him and asked softly, "Benefactor, do you know your mistake?"

Sang Tugong nodded with difficulty, making a 'hoarse' sound in his throat, as if to express that he would never dare to do it again.

"very good."

Chen Mo nodded. "It's good that you know you were wrong."

"This humble monk will now escort you before the Buddha so that you may properly repent!"

ah?!!

Before Sang Tugong could react, he felt a surge of powerful true energy enter his body.

"Well!!"

His whole body trembled violently, his eyes bulged out, and his heart meridian was instantly severed!

Chen Mo casually tossed it aside, just like throwing away a piece of trash.

The entire venue was deathly silent!

Amidst the crackling of the campfire, Boss Wu and the others exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

This little monk is a ruthless person!

He takes lives with ease and ruthlessness!

Just when everyone was at a loss, the appearance of one person broke the silence.

"Master, you've gone a bit too far!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw a man in a long robe walk out.

The man looked to be around fifty years old, with a straight posture and deep-set eyes.

“Buddhism teaches compassion. Even if Sangtugong was wrong to begin with, his crime did not warrant death.”

"Master, you resorted to such a vicious act without a word of argument. Doesn't that go against the true meaning of Buddhism?"

Mu Wanqing gave a soft snort and was about to speak when Chen Mo raised his hand to stop her.

He looked the man up and down. "Isn't his crime punishable by death?"

"This person uses poisoned hidden weapons from the start; taking a life is just a matter of a thought."

"If it weren't for my limited knowledge of self-defense techniques, I would probably be the one lying on the ground right now."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then continued, "Buddhism is compassionate, and it also teaches how to subdue demons."

“This benefactor is deeply wicked. If we spare his life, it will likely bring harm to many more innocent people.”

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "The evil monk! He's the evil monk!!"

"Monk?!"

Someone realized, "It's that... the demonic monk who killed the Starry Night Old Monster with a single finger at Leigu Mountain?!"

"No doubt about it! So young, so decisive in killing, and accompanied by two stunningly beautiful women, it must be that demonic monk!"

"Rumor has it that he wears white robes stained with blood, kills people with a smile, and his martial arts are extremely strange!"

"..."

The crowd immediately began to discuss the matter.

Chapter 97 Life and Death Talisman

"Shut up!"

Boss Wu's face darkened, and his voice suddenly rose, silencing the murmurs of the crowd.

"What 'evil monk'?"

"This is absolutely a misunderstanding of the master by people in the martial arts world."

He looked at Chen Mo, a fawning smile plastered on his face, "The moment I saw you, Master, I felt an instant connection. The title of 'evil monk' is truly undeserved."

"This...this is clearly slanderous talk from jealous and envious people!"

As he spoke, he gave a wink to the Taoist priest standing to the side.

The Unjust Taoist immediately understood, flicked his whisk, and laughed, "Hahaha, Boss Wu is right!"

"The master's eradication of the Xingxiu Sect and his elimination of this scourge for the people is a blessing for the martial arts world."

"Sang Tugong just now used a sneak attack; he deserves to die, he deserves to die!"

The people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands are all shrewd and cunning individuals who have lived on the edge of a knife. How could they not understand the intentions of Boss Wu and the Unjust Taoist?

Clearly, they wanted to recruit this unpredictable 'demon monk' to their side to jointly deal with Lingjiu Palace.

In an instant, the tense atmosphere suddenly changed.

Everyone forced smiles and chimed in with their own opinions.

"Yes, yes, that scoundrel Sangtugong has always been treacherous; he deserves to die!"

"We admire the master for punishing evil and promoting good!"

"I was very offensive just now, please forgive me, Master..."

"..."

As for Sangtugong, who had just died, he was just unlucky. He acted before he understood the situation and was killed. Who can he blame?

Boss Wu immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master, ladies, we were very rude just now. It was all a misunderstanding. Please forgive us."

"To be honest, Master, we have no choice but to gather here."

Then he recounted the wicked ways of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny, who had planted life-and-death talismans on them.

The people around them all showed expressions of grief and indignation.

"master."

Old Wu's voice choked with emotion as he clasped his hands and bowed deeply. "That old woman treated us like pigs and dogs, and would use the Life and Death Talisman to torment us at the slightest provocation."

"Over the years, we don't know how many things we've done against our conscience for her, or how much innocent blood we've spilled on our hands!"

"It's truly... worse than death!"

"Please, Master, save us!"

"Master, your martial arts are unparalleled. You were even able to eliminate the Star Constellation Old Monster. You can definitely deal with that Child Granny!"

"Yes, Master, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda! Please have mercy and help us!"

"As long as this life-and-death talisman can be broken, we are willing to go through fire and water for you, Master!"

"..."

In an instant, cries of pleas, sobs, and indignation filled the air.

Amidst the commotion, Chen Mo's gaze fell upon the little girl curled up to the side, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

To be honest, Tong Lao's acting skills are so good that she would definitely be nominated for Best Actress in modern times.

"Husband."

Mu Wanqing tugged at Chen Mo's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what this Life and Death Talisman is?"

"They all seemed very frightened and uneasy."

Chen Mo nodded, "This Life and Death Talisman is considered one of the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny's unique hidden weapons."

"Those who have been through the life-and-death talisman in junior high school will find that the wound is getting itchier and itchier."

"Moreover, the intense itching gradually penetrated deeper, and within the time it takes to eat a meal, even the internal organs seemed to itch."

"Making people wish they were dead."

He paused, then continued, "When this Life and Death Talisman takes effect, it becomes more severe each day, with the intense itching and pain increasing for eighty-one days."

"Then it gradually decreases, and after eighty-one days it increases again, and so on, endlessly."

"And this life-and-death talisman... can only be neutralized by the caster himself."

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing frowned deeply. "No wonder these people are so desperate..."

Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard this; this Life and Death Talisman was awesome!

It's even more domineering than the methods their Yin Kui Sect uses to control people with those ghostly drugs.

She was tempted, even more so than if she wanted the "Northern Darkness Divine Art"!

Once planted, life and death are in one's own hands, with no way to undo it or stop it; it is simply the only way to control people's hearts!

If we could obtain this method...

Thinking of this, her face flushed, and she became slightly excited.

"Please, Master, save us!"

Boss Wu was the first to kneel down.

Seeing this, the others also knelt down, crying out, "Master, please save us!"

"Amitabha."

Chen Mo clasped his hands together and said calmly, "Everyone, actually, Tong Lao is my wife's senior martial aunt."

"According to seniority, this humble monk should naturally address the old woman as my senior master."

"Now you want me to help you capture your own master's uncle alive? Isn't that going a bit too far..."

These words were spoken.

The noisy crowd immediately fell silent, everyone's expression frozen, and a spark crackled from the campfire.
