69: Section 69

“When we saw the situation was bad, we thought we could escape.”

“But who would have thought that the Black Bear Demon had evolved to the point where he could drain people's essence from a distance? My eldest brother and third brother's essence was sucked dry from hundreds of meters away.”

“I was also bitten by that Black Bear Demon, and only escaped by playing dead!”

Liao Ming looked at Xu Miaoyin at this moment.

“Fortunately, this Benefactor Xu gave up going to Black Wind Stronghold.”

“Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Su Mo and Xu Miaoyin were dumbfounded listening to Liao Ming's account.

Draining people's essence from a distance?

And from hundreds of meters away, two Martial Forest masters were drained dry.

This Dao.

Who knows how long he has Cultivated!

Immediately after, Liao Ming took out a smooth, flawless white bead.

“This is that Relic. It's fine for dealing with ordinary Demons, but it's not enough when encountering a great Demon who has Cultivated for hundreds of years.”

After speaking.

Liao Ming sighed deeply.

“If we didn't have this Relic, our three brothers wouldn't have been so confident, nor would we have met such an end.”

The Relic was like it was carved from white jade, crystal clear, delicate, and moist.

And the moment this Relic was taken out.

Su Mo felt the Haoran Righteousness in his chest react as if it had encountered some stimulus, causing his chest to begin pounding.

The Relic also emitted a faint glow, and a subtle, almost imperceptible pull was generated between the two.

Liao Ming noticed the change in the Relic in his hand.

His eyes showed some surprise.

“I didn't expect, Boss Su, that you would have such a strong connection to Buddhism, resonating with this Relic of mine.”

After speaking, Liao Ming placed the Relic in front of Su Mo.

“Since that's the case, I'll give you this Relic.”

“Consider it payment for the steamed buns I just ate.”

Facing the sudden valuable treasure, Su Mo subconsciously wanted to refuse.

“What's the value of my steamed buns?”

“This is a treasure.”

Liao Ming smiled bitterly.

“This Relic is useless to me now. The Demons it can deal with, I can deal with even without it.”

“The Demons it can't deal with, it won't help even if I take it out.”

“It's better to give it to you, who has a connection to Buddhism. Perhaps in the future, I might need your help in some way.”

After speaking.

Liao Ming glanced at the heavy rain outside.

“I cannot stay long. Next, I need to report this matter to County Magistrate Wang Qinghe so he can take precautions early.”

“Oh, and I will go to Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou Prefecture to invite Elder Fahai to come here to subdue Demons.”

“Elder Fahai has profound Dao. Although he is not a Martial Forest member, he is extremely skilled at dealing with Demons.”

“You can rest assured.”

After speaking, Liao Ming left the restaurant.

Looking at the departing Liao Ming, Su Mo didn't know what to say for a moment.

Then he turned his gaze to the Relic.

He picked up the Relic.

The surface of the Relic shimmered with treasure light, and its entire body emitted a peaceful aura.

He didn't know what Liao Ming's purpose or state of mind was, to just give it to him like that.

Xu Miaoyin was also happy for Su Mo in her heart.

“Boss Su, you are truly lucky.”

“Hehe.”

“Then let this be Linjiang Spring's most prized treasure.”

After speaking, Su Mo placed the Relic inside his inner clothing near his chest.

He wondered if it was an illusion.

He felt that the Haoran Righteousness within him seemed to have grown a bit stronger because of the Relic…

…

…

…

“Sister, Fahai, this Old Daoist has been staring at us relentlessly. What should we do now?”

Amidst the clouds.

Two women, as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals, were constantly flying forward.

And following them was a huge golden alms bowl emitting a golden glow.

The golden alms bowl was like it had a positioning and tracking System, relentlessly pursuing the two of them.

Looking closely.

The two women were Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.

Bai Suzhen's pretty, cold face was filled with anger.

She couldn't understand why Fahai kept pursuing them.

Could it be.

Because of the Arhat Golden Body that Su Lang from their previous life gave them.

Making Fahai mistakenly believe they killed an Arhat Reincarnation?

After much thought.

This was the only possibility.

Thinking of this.

Bai Suzhen looked at Xiao Qing.

“Xiao Qing, since Fahai won't let us go, let's go to the Yin Yang Market.”

“That place is between the Yin and Yang realms.”

“Fahai can't act freely there.”

“Okay!”

Then the two flew rapidly towards Qinglin County, and when Fahai saw their direction of flight, he immediately understood the two women's intentions.

If they truly escaped into the crevice between the Yin and Yang realms, he would have no reason to pursue them.

At the same time, the Arhat Golden Body on them would likely be targeted by other Demons.

Thinking of this.

Fahai no longer held back.

In an instant, the golden alms bowl burst forth with ten thousand golden rays, stretching tens of thousands of meters, directly enveloping Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing's bodies.

The golden light of the alms bowl had the effect of deterring and immobilizing Demons. The two women's bodies were as if time had stopped, frozen in the clouds.

Fahai burst into laughter.

Their bodies stopped; he finally caught these two snake Demons!

But the next second.

The Arhat Golden Body on Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing's wrists emitted an even purer light.

Releasing the two women from their immobilization, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing instantly transformed into green smoke and disappeared.

Fahai didn't expect such a change.

Caught off guard.

The two women actually escaped!

Fahai quickly recalled the golden alms bowl, wanting to deduce the two women's whereabouts.

But the future images displayed by the golden alms bowl were obscure and unclear, impossible to predict.

However, a Black Bear Demon and the surrounding bones in the image caught Fahai's attention.

In this era, there was actually a Prodigy who wanted to become human by eating people.

Damn it!

These two green and white snakes, for now, don't need to be dealt with.

Immediately, Fahai returned to Jinshan Temple.

Under the guidance of the golden alms bowl, as long as he stayed in Jinshan Temple, someone would naturally invite him to eliminate the Black Bear Demon!

Chapter 77: Huang Qingwan's Little Scheme, Sending Chun Zhu to Watch Su Mo

“Crackling…”

Amidst the sounds of firecrackers, Su Mo's “Linjiang Spring” restaurant officially opened.

However, rumors of Demons causing mischief had made every household afraid to go out during this period.

So, even though a restaurant partly owned by the Generals Residence was opening, only some wealthy families and government officials from the county came.

Wang Qinghe, due to his only daughter being captured, did not appear, only the County Magistrate's assistant came with officials to show support.

The officials from the Generals Residence and the County Government ate in two private rooms upstairs.

The wealthy families were arranged in window seats on the second floor.

Other nearby merchants and customers who came to eat were arranged in the restaurant's main hall.

The assistant cooks from the Generals Residence and Ma Master were all called over to help.

Plus, there were dedicated people to help with chopping vegetables and cleaning, so Su Mo had nothing else to do besides cooking.

In fact, due to the small number of customers, all the dishes were served in less than an hour.

Feeling an unusual sense of ease.

Su Mo had already decided to hire a few waiters, cooks, and odd-job workers in Linjiang City and the nearby countryside.

Since they lived nearby, they wouldn't need accommodation; one meal a day would be enough.

No matter what.

Ease was the priority.

…

At this time, the second floor was filled with the sounds of clinking glasses.

“Come, everyone, eat.”

“The taste of these dishes is really good. I've been to many prefectures and counties, but I've never tasted anything like this.”
