Fox Demon Crossing

Suddenly, he came back in a panic, shouting, "Master, there's a ghost! There's a ghost coming!"

"Senior brother."

When Lin Jiu saw the man coming in, he was immediately overjoyed and hurried forward to greet him. At the same time, he asked in confusion: "Junior Brother Qianhe, I just sent out a distress message for more than an hour. How come you are here so quickly? Were you nearby at that time?"

"That's not the case. It's because of my apprentice's methods." Qianhe smiled slightly and did not explain too much on this issue.

Lin Jiu did not continue to ask, but looked at Jin Renfeng who was half a step behind Qianhe. Jin Renfeng bowed politely and said, "Nephew Wang Yang, I pay my respects to Uncle Lin."

"Well, my nephew is really handsome."

"Alas... Unlike my two useless disciples, who are old and still cause trouble for me all day, I can't have a peaceful day. When it comes to taking in disciples, Junior Brother Qianhe is really far behind me."

Lin Jiu carefully looked at Jin Renfeng, his eyes flashing with admiration, restrained his breath, and stood there naturally and decently, like an ordinary person. Of course, he would not think that Jin Renfeng's cultivation was low. In fact, he had already learned from Maoshan that Jin Renfeng had cultivated the Yin God and his cultivation was not inferior to his.

Four years of hard work in cultivating spiritual energy and five years in refining the Yin Spirit.

Thinking back to when Lin Fengjiao started practicing, he had worked hard for decades to achieve his current achievements. His talent was also among the best among his peers, except that he was not as good as their senior brother, the Lightning King Shi Jian.

He soon calmed down and realized that this was a matter of personal fate and destiny. He inadvertently glanced at Wencai and Qiu Sheng behind him and could not help but shake his head and sigh.

"Uncle Qianhe." Qiu Sheng walked forward and greeted him.

Wencai also came forward to greet them.

After some polite exchanges, Qianhe and Jin Renfeng were invited into the house.

As soon as he sat down, Qianhe asked, "Brother, did something big happen when you issued the Maoshan Request for Help this time?"

Lin Jiu did not hide anything and told him exactly what his two evil disciples had done.

After listening to this, Qianhe looked at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who seemed a little embarrassed, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "Attacking the ghost messenger and releasing a large number of dead souls, Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, I really didn't expect it. After all, you have followed my brother for many years, how could you do such a stupid thing?"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai lowered their heads in shame.

"The souls of all of them have been taken away by the female ghost. They have no self-control at all. Don't they understand what she is saying?" Lin Jiu looked disappointed.

During this period, Jin Renfeng said almost nothing.

Considering that it was getting late, they arranged two rooms for Qiu Sheng and Wencai to rest for the night.

The next day, five o'clock in the afternoon.

Taoist priests from Mount Mao came one after another.

Qianhe brought Jin Renfeng to introduce them to everyone one by one. They gathered in a side hall with a Yin-Yang Bagua diagram hanging on the middle wall.

Lin Jiu saw that the time was almost up, and all the Maoshan disciples who could arrive in the day should have arrived, except for that...

"My fellow disciples, all the ghosts within a hundred miles of the town have escaped. If we don't catch them again, they will wreak havoc everywhere. If we delay for too long, they will form a force and we will be in trouble."

"But there are so many ghosts that I cannot capture them all by myself in a short period of time." Lin Jiu said with a guilty look on his face: "It's all my fault that I, Lin Jiu, didn't teach them well, which is why they made such a big mistake. I had no choice but to ask for help from you brothers."

"Brother, you are too polite. We are all from Maoshan and we are all one. If you are in trouble, how can we not help you with all our heart?" Qianhe said.

"Yes, that's right..."

Everyone agreed, but one of them suggested, "Brother, let's wait for Brother Jian to come before making a decision."

Qiu Sheng, who was standing behind Lin Jiu at this time, couldn't help but complain: "There are so many of us waiting for him, who does he think he is?!"

"Yeah, who the hell is he?!"

Wencai folded his arms across his chest and echoed.

"Ok?"

Lin Jiu glared at them and scolded them, "How disrespectful! My senior brother is your uncle!"

"Master Uncle, Master Uncle..."

There was a call from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.

A middle-aged Taoist priest with sword-like eyebrows, eagle eyes and a hint of murderousness in the corners of his eyes, wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe, followed by a young man whose hair covered half of his face.

The two of them stepped inside.

They seemed to totally ignore the people present.

At this moment, both Jin Renfeng's master Qianhe and the host Lin Jiu stood up and stepped forward to greet them.

"Meet senior brother (Master uncle)!"

Shi Jian glanced at Lin Jiu, waved his hand, and walked straight to the only main seat in front.

After sitting down, Shi Jian asked, "Who caused this?"

Lin Jiu stepped forward and replied, "They are my two unsuccessful disciples, Wencai and Qiusheng."

"What do you mean by unsuccessful?"

Shi Shaojian at the side took over the conversation: "Master, the so-called failure is nothing more than stupidity or clumsiness, or else it is idiocy."

"you……"

Qiu Sheng clenched his fists and wanted to rush up to teach him a lesson, but Lin Jiu stopped him with his hand.

Lin Jiu said: "My two disciples were careless for a moment..."

However, before he could finish his words, Shi Jian interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Can you shirk your responsibility by saying it was negligence if you failed to teach well?"

"I asked you to come here today, do you want me to take the blame for you?" Shi Jian's face was full of sarcasm.

Lin Jiu frowned slightly and explained, "We have just discussed it and plan to use the Xiantian Bagua Formation to subdue these ghosts."

"Since you have already discussed it, then why did you invite me here?" Shi Jian's eyes swept across the crowd. All the Maoshan disciples who were touched by his eyes did not dare to look at him.

"I wonder what senior brother thinks?" Qianhe asked at this time.

Shi Jian glanced at him, then inadvertently glanced at the Golden Human Phoenix not far behind Qianhe. He lowered his head slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Let's use the Xiantian Bagua Formation to deal with them, but the question is who will lure these guys out?" Everyone was silent.

Seeing this, Shi Shaojian, who was standing next to Shi Jian, stepped out with his hands behind his back and said with a proud look on his face, "I think this difficult task is best for me."

"Good! Good! Good!" Qiu Sheng immediately applauded in agreement.

Shi Jian glared at Shi Shaojian, causing him to involuntarily take a half step back and shrink back. Then, Shi Jian looked at Lin Jiu and said in a subtle tone: "It would be great if one person could do the work and take the responsibility alone..."

Lin Jiu had no choice but to agree on behalf of Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

That night, they set up a huge innate Bagua formation on a piece of empty land outside the town, waiting for Qiu Sheng and Wencai to lead the ghosts into the formation.

"Master, save me!"

"coming."

Qianhe, who was hiding in the dark, reminded: "Xiaoyang, these ghosts have not done anything unscrupulous. You should be careful when you attack them. You must not beat them too hard to make their souls fly away. Doing so will damage your Yin De."

"Master, don't worry."

Lin Jiu stood alone in the center of the formation, and saw that his two disciples successfully guided all the ghosts into the range of the formation.

Everyone worked together to activate the formation.

"Do it!"

Everyone showed off their skills, ran into the formation, and used magic weapons to catch ghosts. Lin Jiu held a black jar in his hand, pointed the jar at the ghosts, and in an instant, the ghosts were sucked into the jar. Qianhe held a cloth bag and put it over the ghost's head, and the ghost was sucked into the bag, which quickly swelled up.

At this moment, some people were waving flags, some were holding up umbrellas, and everyone was using their own magical powers.

Jin Renfeng stood inside the formation, and his majestic attire made the ghosts dare not approach him. He reached out and touched the jade order in his arms, but he didn't take it out after thinking about it. Once he activated the jade order to open the Ghost Gate and release the ghosts, it would definitely alert the ghosts guarding the checkpoint, and then it would be equivalent to harming his uncle. Because according to Uncle Lin Jiu, he had reached an agreement with the ghosts escorting the ghosts. As long as they caught the escaped ghosts before the Ghost Gate closed, there would be no trouble, and the ghosts would not report the matter to their superiors. At most, Uncle Lin Jiu would spend some money to shut them up.

Jin Renfeng looked around and suddenly found that Shi Jian's movements were different. His fists were carrying electric currents. When he punched out, a ghost screamed amidst the lightning and thunder, and its soul immediately flew away.

Lightning Thunder Fist - This is a unique Taoist technique created by Shi Jian's lineage ancestor by combining the Taoist thunder method with the fist method. It is not comparable to ordinary Taoist techniques. It can even enhance physical strength. In essence, it is a technique that combines magic and martial arts. Unfortunately, Jin Renfeng did not learn this technique during his training in Maoshan. Lightning Thunder Fist is the exclusive secret skill of another Yangshen ancestor. Although Maoshan advocates that fellow disciples are one family, if someone is unwilling to teach, you can't force them.

Lin Jiu noticed this and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them. He stepped forward and said, "Big Brother, if you use the Lightning Thunder Fist, those homeless souls will never be able to reincarnate."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Shi Shaojian replied: "This will completely solve our worries and we won't have to let them continue to wander around."

"Do you want to make a decision for those homeless souls?" Shi Jian stared at Lin Jiu with cold eyes, as if he would beat him up if he dared to talk back again.

Lin Jiu remained silent upon seeing this. Shi Jian sneered and ignored him. He turned around and used the Lightning Thunder Fist, absorbing a trace of thunder power in the air and released it, once again killing the two nearby ghosts.

Lin Jiu could only stand aside and stare blankly. Whether in terms of Maoshan's status or strength, he could not be compared with Shi Jian.

Jin Renfeng stood in a corner of the formation, admiring the various methods used by the Maoshan Taoists to catch ghosts. However, he was perceptive and suddenly discovered that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had worked together to release a female ghost in purple clothes.

He quietly watched the development of the situation, without any intention of intervening. At this moment, he seemed to be just a bystander.

Since that night, most of the escaped ghosts have been recaptured.

The next morning, most of the Maoshan disciples chose to resign and leave. Since the matter had been dealt with, there was no need for them to stay any longer, after all, everyone had their own things to do.

Jin Renfeng and his master Qianhe did not return immediately. Although Qianhe and Lin Jiu were not from the same lineage, they had a very deep friendship, so they decided to stay for another day to help with some chores.

In the afternoon, Jin Renfeng saw Master Qianhe returning to Uncle Jiu’s charity home in anger and asked, “Master, who made you angry?”

"That's your uncle." Qian He sat on the chair and drank the tea on the table in one breath, and said angrily: "Big Brother is unreasonable. He is stealing Brother Lin's business on Brother Lin's territory."

Jin Renfeng nodded silently in his heart. As expected, Shi Jian had seized Lin Jiu's business, and Shi Jian's apprentice and son Shi Shaojian had evil intentions towards his employer's daughter. He planned to cast a spell that night to make his soul leave his body so that he could do whatever he wanted.
