On the second morning, I woke up early, left a note for He Ying, and quietly departed from her place with my luggage. The reason I chose not to say goodbye to He Ying was mainly because of Liu Zhenxian.
Last night, Liu Zhenxian had sealed Wang Hongtao's soul within He Ying's body. He feared that Wang Hongtao might reveal his identity to her.
Liu Zhenxian was still unsure how to face He Ying, which is why he opted for my discreet exit.
However, what Liu Zhenxian did not know was that around one in the morning, He Ying had already learned about his identity from Wang Hongtao. From that moment on, she could not shake off her drowsiness; she stared blankly at the ceiling, uncertain of what to do.
It wasn't until I left with Liu Zhenxian that He Ying finally emerged from her bedroom. She looked at the closed door in front of her, realizing Liu Zhenxian's figure was no longer inside.
"Ha, now I'm all alone. Liu Zhenxian, why won't you stay and keep me company?" He Ying said with a tone full of resentment. For some reason, as she thought about the time spent with Liu Zhenxian, her originally resolute expression suddenly turned sorrowful. Her eyes quickly reddened, and tears streamed down her cheeks like a flowing river.
Neither Liu Zhenxian nor I knew what was happening inside the room. Concerned for Lan Yue and Hu Yalong's safety, I took a taxi to the airport early.
Time was too tight; if I were to drive there, it would take at least an hour or two. If Lan Yue and Hu Yalong were indeed in danger, I worried they might not hold out much longer if I delayed.
After boarding the plane, it took over three hours before I returned to the city where I had attended high school. Then, I quickly took a taxi to the location where Lan Yue was staying.
By the time I arrived at the restaurant, it was already around six or seven in the evening, and the outside light was beginning to fade.
Standing in front of the restaurant, I looked up and noticed it was shrouded in a sinister aura. This Evil Qi felt different from mere Eerie Aura or ominous Corpse Qi; despite my careful observation, I couldn't discern its origin.
Furrowing my brow, I reached into my backpack for my Demon-Subduing Staff and said aloud, "It seems my guess was correct; someone is indeed setting a trap for me here. I wonder how Hu Yalong and Lan Yue are faring."
"Doo doo~~" Just as I hesitated about whether to go inside, my phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw that it was the number from Lan Yue.
After a moment of hesitation, I finally answered the call. Taking a deep breath, I spoke calmly, "Hey, Lan Yue, I'm now at the entrance of the restaurant. Where are you?"
"Hehe, kiddo, you don't need to put on an act outside. I advise you to come in quickly; otherwise, I can't guarantee that your friends will continue living," a sharp voice came through the phone. The moment I heard that voice, I knew it wasn't Hu Yalong or Lan Yue. In fact, I couldn't even tell if the person on the other end was male or female.
After finishing their sentence, the caller hung up without a hint of concern that I wouldn't walk in.
"Crack~~ creak~~" At that moment, all the lights in the restaurant turned on. I saw three familiar figures standing at the second-floor window: Hu Yalong, Lan Yue, and Li Hongze. They were my three best friends from high school.
My eyesight was fairly good; although the second floor was a bit far from where I stood, I could still see that all three of them had injuries. The worst off was Hu Yalong, whose face looked like it had been beaten to a pulp; his eyes were so swollen that they were nearly unrecognizable.
Seeing their condition ignited a surge of anger within me. I pointed at the restaurant and shouted loudly, "Damn it! Who dares to lay a hand on my brothers, Jiang Ling? You better wait for me; I'll catch every last one of you and make you pay!"
With that, I gripped my Demon-Subduing Staff and rushed toward the restaurant.
At that moment, Lan Yue suddenly shouted at me from the second floor, " Jiang Ling, get out! Don't go into this restaurant!"
Despite enduring excruciating pain, Hu Yalong managed to open his eyes just a slit. He looked in my direction and yelled, " Brother Jiang Ling, don’t worry about us! You need to leave as soon as possible! Once your Cultivation is strong enough, then come back for revenge."
I forced a smile onto my face and gave them a reassuring nod. "Don't worry; I'll definitely save you. Just wait for me."
Although my heart was filled with rage, hearing Hu Yalong's words calmed me down somewhat. Instead of recklessly charging into the restaurant, I paused at the entrance and began to secretly channel my inner Buddhist Power. Meanwhile, I recited softly, "Buddhist Sect says: All beings have spirits! Life and death are fated; all things share the same realm! Descend from the immortal mountain and return to your homeland! Evil spirits cling to dust and harm living beings! Fall into the Suffering Sea, but turning back is salvation! Summoning Buddha's Law, awaken with the Buddha's staff! Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
As soon as my words fell, I quickly raised the Demon-Subduing Staff in my hand and smashed it toward the nearby tavern.
"Bang~~" A loud noise erupted not far in front of me. Just moments ago, the Demon-Subduing Staff in my hand emitted a Golden Buddha Light. Initially, I only intended to test it out, but unexpectedly, the staff struck two Ghostly Beings hiding in the shadows.
These two Ghostly Beings had reached the Millennium Ghost General level. Although they suffered a blow from the Buddhist Sect's demon-subduing technique, they were not severely harmed. They glared at me with eyes full of resentment and let out a roar, shouting, "Roar~~ Stinky Taoist, you will pay for this!"
In an instant, the two Ghostly Beings swayed and transformed into afterimages, lunging at me from both sides.
"Heh heh, you two dare to attack me? You truly don't know when to quit." I scoffed disdainfully, quickly pulling out the Rusty Sword from my backpack. With my left hand gripping the sword and my right hand holding the staff, I charged fearlessly toward the two Ghostly Beings.
