87: Su Yuntao was numb

Su Yuntao's mouth hung open as he stared blankly at Yu Mengzhang, his face flushing red and his body trembling slightly.

The elderly woman grabbed his hand and led him to stand before Yu Mengzhang.

“Lord High Priest, this is my son, Su Yuntao. He's quite a talent! He's a Spirit Master! And he's even from Spirit Hall!”

The elderly woman introduced him eagerly, her tone filled with pride.

Without a doubt, Su Yuntao was her pride and joy.

Yu Mengzhang nodded slightly and glanced at Su Yuntao.

He had heard what Su Yuntao said earlier and guessed that Spirit Hall might harbor ill intentions, but none of that mattered.

“I want to ask, what is the reputation of that Viscount Jack nearby? Has he been involved in kidnapping young girls?” Yu Mengzhang asked.

The elderly woman was stunned for a moment. “Kidnapping young girls?”

Su Yuntao kept his head low and his eyes downcast, pretending to know nothing.

“There's such a thing? Some people indeed said they lost their daughters and came here looking for them, but no one ever found anything...”

“Yuntao, what do you say? Could that fellow Viscount Jack have done such a thing?”

The elderly woman tugged at Su Yuntao's sleeve.

The blood in Su Yuntao's face was so intense it almost seemed ready to seep through his skin.

“I... I don't know...”

Su Yuntao said weakly.

Staring at his toes, he looked as if he wanted to sink into the ground at any moment.

Yu Mengzhang glanced toward Viscount Jack's manor and said, “Then it is fine.”

However, the elderly woman grabbed Su Yuntao and chased after him, saying hurriedly, “Lord High Priest, our Yuntao is a Spirit Master from Spirit Hall. If he wants to investigate Viscount Jack's manor, he'll definitely be allowed in!”

A strained, ugly smile appeared on Su Yuntao's face.

“Mom...”

After glancing at Yu Mengzhang, Su Yuntao quickly withdrew his gaze, feeling like crying inside.

Why did he have to encounter this kind of situation?

He had already broken up with Sisi.

If the Hall Master found out he was acting alongside the High Priest, he would surely be severely punished!

“Very well, let us go together then.”

Yu Mengzhang nodded slightly.

Su Yuntao didn't dare refuse and could only follow beside him as they headed to Viscount Jack's manor... The two arrived at the manor.

Su Yuntao knocked on the door and announced his name, and then the main gates opened.

“Mr. Su, why are you...”

A flash of purple light suddenly crashed in.

It knocked down the guard at the gate.

Luo San Pao was the first to charge into the courtyard, letting out several angry “Luo Luo” cries.

Having been strengthened by Yu Mengzhang, although Luo San Pao still had his original shape, his abilities were now quite extraordinary.

His nose was sharper than a dog's!

“Luo Luo...!” Luo San Pao barked twice at Yu Mengzhang.

“Follow him.”

Yu Mengzhang followed.

Su Yuntao sighed and could only follow as well.

The guards were shocked at the sight. “What are you doing...?”

Before he could finish his sentence, two children appeared at the door and knocked him unconscious, leaving him slumped on the ground.

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and said helplessly, “Xiao Wu, we shouldn't do this. We'll be retaliated against. At least we should have evidence first...”

“The Lord High Priest is the evidence! And didn't you see what that dog smelled?” Xiao Wu said argumentatively.

Tang San looked embarrassed and sighed, “That seems to be my teacher's Spirit. It's a... unique Spirit with no real abilities.”

“Oh, stop your nonsense! If you're too scared, then get lost! Don't bother me!”

Xiao Wu said mercilessly.

“It's not that!” Tang San's expression changed, and he didn't dare to persuade her further, fearing he would make Xiao Wu unhappy... Luo San Pao was sprinting ahead.

Some guards spotted it and brandished their weapons to stop it.

But Luo San Pao was completely fearless and extraordinarily brave, knocking down all the guards as he headed toward a specific room.

Su Yuntao followed beside Yu Mengzhang, his expression already numb.

It was over. Offending Viscount Jack so severely while acting with the High Priest meant the Hall Master would definitely punish him harshly!

He might even be handed over to Viscount Jack to make amends!

Would Viscount Jack think he was the one who started the trouble?

Thinking this, Su Yuntao simply gave up on caring—whatever happens, happens!

Yu Mengzhang followed Luo San Pao and soon stopped at the door of a room.

Luo San Pao barked impatiently.

“Luo Luo...!”

Yu Mengzhang nodded.

Luo San Pao immediately burst through the door.

A series of exclamations rang out from inside.

Immediately after, a golden light erupted; it was Luo San Pao activating a Spirit Ability.

A group of people were blasted out from within.

“Luo Luo...!” Luo San Pao roared.

The guards who could still stand retreated far away, not daring to approach. Luo San Pao dragged out a man with pale skin and a body as thin as a skeleton by his clothes.

The man was Viscount Jack himself. Held in Luo San Pao's mouth, he was trembling with fear.

He couldn't even speak.

“Lord Jack...!”

“Let go of our master! You beast!”

“...”

The guards were already backing up against the wall, yet they were still shouting performatively.

Yu Mengzhang ignored the noisy scene and entered the room.

Su Yuntao followed behind. Seeing Viscount Jack's wretched and ugly state, he shook his head, a bit more resolve appearing on his face.

The room was luxuriously decorated, but in the corner, many young girls around eight or nine years old were huddled together, clutching their knees and looking at the outside world with eyes full of terror.

Yu Mengzhang frowned slightly. This time, he truly felt murderous intent.

Viscount Jack truly deserved to die!

He pointed a finger at him, placing a mark on his body.

This way, no matter where Viscount Jack ran, he could not escape his perception.

“Su Yuntao, return all these children to their homes.”

Yu Mengzhang said suddenly.

Su Yuntao stared blankly at the group of children, then suddenly snapped back to his senses. “Yes... Yes! I will certainly do it!”

Anger quickly surfaced on Su Yuntao's face.

He clenched his fists, his Soul Power erupting as he glared hatefully at Viscount Jack, who was pinned down by Luo San Pao.

At this moment, he truly wanted to give Viscount Jack a severe lesson.

Even if he knew he would be punished by the Hall Master!

“A Spirit Master from Spirit Hall? Come and save me quickly! How many gold coins have I donated to your Spirit Hall? Your Hall Master is my friend...”

Viscount Jack suddenly shouted loudly.

Luo San Pao immediately released a light flame, burning Viscount Jack's back.

Yu Mengzhang nodded slightly to Su Yuntao, and his figure gradually blurred into nothingness.

Seeing Viscount Jack's bestial behavior, he felt there must be many similar crimes, so he might as well wait to wipe them all out at once!

If he killed Viscount Jack now, the other nobles would likely flee... Outside the door, Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had just rushed over, also saw the scene inside.

The triumphant Luo San Pao had actually left those guards completely helpless.

Tang San was greatly shocked. According to his teacher, Luo San Pao was supposed to be a Waste Spirit, wasn't he?

Why did he have such miraculous power now?!

“You bastard! I won't let him off!”

“Watch my Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop!!!”

Xiao Wu suddenly charged into the room, threw Viscount Jack into the air, and jumped up after him...
