Chapter Nine, Striking it Rich

Wang Peng looked at Song Xiao with a serious expression and said, "I will keep it confidential from outsiders..."

You take the lead, I will just have some soup and gain some tangible benefits.

How could one possibly be trapped

Exerting all my strength, I mobilized the spiritual energy within me to continue performing the Sword Control Technique

At least several dozen pounds

Wang Peng remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Song Xiao and said, "Brother, killing a level 3 monster is no small feat"

When a person dies, they become a ghost; when a ghost dies...! ... then their soul will be scattered!

The last sentence is the key - if you do not cooperate, you will perish

Wang Peng let out a hiss, first shaking his head at Song Xiao, signaling him not to mention it here

"Have you been subjected to a restriction?" Song Xiao inquired

A face full of shock, astonishment, and bewilderment

As Song Xiao unleashed the swordsmanship technique, sending forth the tea knife in an instant, he began to pray in his heart

The contents inside are to be shared equally between two people, but the credit for slaying the demon belongs to Brother Wang!

At the same time, there is also the storage bag that the other party clutches tightly in their hand until death

If you are the top achiever, the light integration can enable you to accomplish many things

Song Xiao moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, he had run a considerable distance to a secluded spot

Whether it is setting up restrictions or breaking them, for someone like him who has dealt with the ethereal for many years, it is not a difficult task

Song Xiao no longer declined, putting away the storage bag and long knife: "I just asked those who are floating, and it is said that the one who imposed the restrictions is someone with the surname ... ... "

I hope that the knife of the Tea Sage Grandpa is not merely used for cutting tea

The space inside is not large, but at a glance, it is filled with sparkling fragments of crystal.

This matter today is not so simple

This fellow is impressive! We have struck gold this time!

Song Xiao smiled and said, "This is simple!"

You still belong to us!

Wang Peng was momentarily taken aback, but eventually regained his composure

Song Xiao looked at him and said, "I am a person from the Heavenly Court, there is no need to deceive you. Moreover, you have no choice now, do you?"

Half an hour later

If this were a person, he might hesitate for a moment

I said, you two little minions of the heavenly court, no one is allowed to escape today

Song Xiao silently kept it in her heart, gazing at the middle-aged man

Wang Peng let out a furious roar, expending his last ounce of strength, and swung the long knife in his hand in a wide arc, directly severing the massive bull's head.

Very precise

It has not been mentioned that there may be other individuals behind this group of floating entities and bull-headed demons

Just like a professional locksmith opening a lock

Previously, it was unclear, but now it is as clear as a mirror in my heart

It is indeed a string of nonsense

At that moment, an unexpected change occurred

With a puff, it struck right at the center of its back.

This is your merit; I will certainly report it truthfully to the higher authorities later

This gave Song Xiao a sense of intuition: it seemed that the Heavenly Court was not entirely united internally

spat a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva onto the ground

Crystal Sand

I can lift the restrictions placed upon you

Gathering strength in secret, preparing to strike back!

At this moment, the Bull-headed Demon intensified its assault, the alloy long sword emitted a whirring sound, the blade light severed large trees and shattered massive rocks

Song Xiao looked at the group of spirit beings, now devoid of malice, and said, "Wait for me here for a few days, and I will fulfill my promise to each of you by gifting a mountain of gold."

The bull-headed demon roared loudly: "Don't let this kid escape, hold him down for me!"

This strike was too sudden, and the bull-headed demon was completely unprepared.

He shouted loudly: "I surrender! I am willing to submit to you, do not kill me!"

The master is dead, and Song Xiao effortlessly opened it using the method taught by his master in his early years

Zhong Piao chased until he was about ten meters away from Song Xiao, and then they all stopped.

Song Xiao casually cast a dispersing soul spell, which with a bang shattered the soul of the bull-headed demon in a space invisible to Wang Peng

Indeed, having just joined the Heavenly Court, one quickly gains notoriety and becomes an easy target for scrutiny

The middle-aged man nodded with a pained expression: "When we first arrived here, it was said that for the sake of management convenience, and out of fear that we might not comply, restrictions were imposed... As long as the ten-year term is reached, our freedom will surely be restored"

Especially after realizing the true purpose behind the other's support for them, they were filled with a mix of anger and fear.

As for it and the people behind those spirits... you should keep it to yourself for now, as speaking out will not benefit us!

fool

Wearing a grimace, one hesitates to step forward

I plead: "I have treasures, many treasures, willing to buy my life with money, spare me..."

Song Xiao's heart began to beat uncontrollably with intense fervor

If it weren't for the scene in the darkroom just now, perhaps I would still have the courage to rush up and give it a try

Zheng Ting immediately agreed and couldn't help but praise Song Xiao profusely

On the way back, Wang Peng used the token's communication system to report his safety to Zheng Ting and briefly recounted the events that occurred tonight

Having made a vow, Song Xiao did not go back on his word and took action to解除 the restrictions placed upon them.

Wang Peng found it difficult to withstand and kept retreating

Look at your sister

Song Xiao looked at him and said, "Do you understand now?"

After listening to Wang Peng's report, Zheng Ting over there took it very seriously and instructed him to immediately bring the demon corpse back

The middle-aged man exchanged a glance with several ethereal beings who clearly exhibited fluctuations of energy, and quickly made a decision

The middle-aged man smiled wryly: "There is no way to not believe it; the other party is very powerful and ruthless. Once they come, there is no turning back."

"Listen well, everyone. He is about to run away, and you will all die!"

From the direction behind the Bull-headed Demon, a streak of light shot forth without any warning

Yet still maintaining composure

A glimmer of greed appeared in Song Xiao's eyes, yet he secretly maneuvered the Tea Saint's Blade and plunged it deeper into the wound of the Bull-headed Demon

Returning to the room, it was already late at night, yet he felt no trace of drowsiness after tossing and turning for half the night

Even if one's mind is not particularly sharp, it does not mean that one is foolish

Its other hand tightly gripped the hilt of the unmatched sharp alloy long knife

Subsequently, this area became filled with a chilling aura, while flickering golden lights continued to illuminate the surroundings

The corners of the mouth were forced to bleed by the tremendous impact

The gaze directed at Song Xiao was filled with gratitude: "Brother, I was just a bit confused a moment ago"

In the moment the bull-headed demon had its head severed, its soul emerged from its body, its eyes wide open in shock, glaring angrily at Song Xiao

This is no trivial matter; for them, it has become the most solemn vow.

If you do not return, I will undoubtedly die today

After much effort, he pried open the bull-headed demon's hand and grasped the storage bag, examining it with a hint of curiosity.

The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment, then looked at Song Xiao: "Can you really lift the restrictions placed upon us?"

Song Xiao nodded, allowing Wang Peng to rest here for a while to regain his strength

At this moment, he had already sustained an injury, with a wound of over ten centimeters on his shoulder, the flesh turned outward, and blood flowing profusely

Song Xiao looked at the group of men, women, and children before him, the spirits of the dead: "After we eliminate the Bull-Headed Demon, I will reward each of you with a mountain of gold!"

The bull-headed demon let out a mournful howl

Not only is it impossible to enter the cycle of reincarnation, but one must also experience the scene of death every day

Meanwhile

The middle-aged man repeatedly assured, "Rest assured, my lord, I swear that if I dare to speak of this matter, I will surely fall into the eighteen layers of hell and never be reborn for eternity"

Is this devil in front of me really so kind-hearted?

Each strike is incredibly fierce

Since you have made your decision, the storage bag and its contents will all belong to you; otherwise, I would feel guilty in my heart

Song Xiao quickly came over to lick the bag

Without the protection of the token, he would have likely been split in half by the bull-headed demon

It seems that I have... become wealthy?

In the dark room, Song Xiao regarded that group of terrifying spirits as if they were divine beings!

Take out that storage bag at the first opportunity

I understand, now you all need to cooperate with me to perform a play

The group has regained its freedom, and the painful obsessions have also vanished

Go to hell

In contrast, although the person before them is also quite ruthless, he is willing to grant them freedom

To be able to be transcended by eminent monks and virtuous individuals is something they yearn for deeply

Fearing that Song Xiao might not understand, he further explained: "Heavenly Court points can not only be exchanged for reading time in the Scripture Pavilion, but also for various cultivation resources and equipment, which are even more important than money"

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed from a distance, the sound was highly penetrating, and even Wang Peng could hear it

did not die immediately

Song Xiao rolled her eyes and said with a head full of black lines, "Do you all believe it too?"

Wang Peng suddenly smiled, looked deeply at Song Xiao, and said with some emotion: "In this regard, I am not as good as you!"

He then walked a short distance to find the group of timid individuals huddled together, too afraid to approach.

Wang Peng suggested that it is not appropriate for Song Xiao to appear together at this time, and also mentioned some of Song Xiao's concerns

Lifting the restrictions, Song Xiao began to chant the scriptures to guide them to the afterlife

After the matter is accomplished, not only will you gain freedom, but I can also help you transcend, allowing you to be free from your attachments

Looking at the middle-aged man: "What happened here today..."

He has long set his sights on that alloy knife

The middle-aged man lowered his head in contemplation

But you must first answer me a question

Wang Peng felt somewhat anxious, yet he believed that he should not feel this way

Song Xiao then took a taxi back to the hotel

It is not suitable to draw too much attention

At this moment, Wang Peng also regained some composure, simply bandaging his wounds. After discarding the corpse of the bull-headed demon into the token, he came over to find Song Xiao to leave.

Aow!

A group of corpses exchanged glances with one another, and could only grit their teeth and pursue in the direction where Song Xiao had fled.

Now, even with their combined courage, they do not dare to approach Song Xiao again

Stop in your tracks and wait for the group of spirits behind you

Furthermore, that knife possesses a self-repairing memory function, which is clearly a high-tech product

Then he said: "Although third-level demons are not weak, they indeed should not possess the ability to seal powerful ghosts"

This monster that seeks their lives... must not be spared!

Filled with anger and resentment

Before he finished speaking, Song Xiao smiled and said, "This thing is a storage bag, right?"

Although it has suffered severe setbacks, it has demonstrated remarkable vitality

A sense of bitterness arises within me, feeling that today may be the day I meet my end here

As fast as lightning

Song Xiao nodded

Really

Over there, Wang Peng is engaged in battle, and the Minotaur, who has already gained an overwhelming advantage, cannot help but burst into laughter upon seeing this

At this moment, Wang Peng felt as if his body had been completely drained, and he could no longer stand, collapsing onto the ground.

You should be cautious even when holding it, and do not show it to others easily

As long as those two give rise to greed, they are doomed to die

At this moment, I am completely convinced of this great deity, and I am endlessly grateful to Song Xiao, following his words and plans without question

The bull-headed demon was stunned by this two-hit combo

Song Xiao inquired: "Who exactly are the ones who have ensnared you and placed restrictions upon you? Don't tell me it is that bull-headed monster; it is unworthy of such a title"

Turning his head to Wang Peng, he said: "Congratulations, Brother Wang, on achieving the Level 3 Monster Kill accomplishment!"

If they dare to utter even half a word about today's matter, it is hard to say how the two ruthless figures from the Heavenly Court who slay demons will act, but they will certainly die

One can enter the cycle of reincarnation, or one can happily live in the underworld, becoming a joyful spirit

Saying this, he took out a storage bag and trembled as he held it high

Isn't this deceiving the ghosts

The one who truly governs us on weekdays is that bull-headed demon, and it is very ferocious! It shouts for violence and killing at the slightest disagreement

If I could truly break the restrictions on my body, I would undoubtedly escape from here without hesitation

Moo!

Certainly, all of this is attributed to his excellent master

Now, even if he wants to escape, it is almost impossible for him to do so

The moment the storage bag was opened, his eyes immediately widened.

The middle-aged man nodded to the group of floating figures behind him

However, the defense system of the token is also on the verge of falling into a predicament of energy depletion at this moment

Lord, how should we cooperate?

We have some private speculations about his identity... Perhaps he comes from the wealthy Dong family, which possesses substantial financial resources and has been quite generous towards us

Other spirits also swore in unison

In fact, this group of deeply obsessed spirits lives in great suffering

The bull-headed demon was taken aback and instinctively looked over in that direction

Pull out the tea knife...! ... Then stab it fiercely back into the original wound!

As the tea knife plunged into the heart of the bull-headed demon with a soft thud, Song Xiao nearly jumped up in excitement

Do not hesitate any longer, that is what you deserve

In fact, we truly did not deceive you earlier, we do not know much, said the middle-aged man sincerely, we only know that the person's surname is Dong, possesses great power, and has a mysterious whereabouts

and penetrate deeper

Song Xiao smiled and said: "As a newcomer in the Heavenly Court, I am just a small fry, how could I possibly have the ability to slay demons?"

Song Xiao continued to shake her head in refusal: "Brother Wang, to be honest, I am just a newcomer, still in a state of confusion, and I do not understand anything."

I actually killed a level 3 monster

Let out a cry of pain

A roll to evade the strike from Wang Peng, who took the opportunity to slash with his sword.

I hope the old man did not deceive him

Pah

After entering the city, Wang Peng casually found a place to drop off Song Xiao, waved his hand, and left first
