"What is this?!" Everyone was stunned by the scene before them, and the bolder women nearly fainted from fear.
"This is the raw material made from the Betel Nut you consume!" Wei Ning shouted.
"Who are you?!" The Fat Officer's mind short-circuited for a moment, and he immediately felt his stomach churn. With a loud retch, he vomited, and the others followed suit, almost emptying their stomachs of last night's meal.
In contrast to their reactions, Zhang Ye's demeanor could only be described as calm.
After a long while, the Fat Officer finally stood up, half-digested fish still visible in his vomit, indicating that dinner had been quite good. "Take it away, take it away, get it out of here..."
The nearby police officers clutched their stomachs, looking at Old Man Shi with disgust, barely able to stand.
Wei Ning fixed a piercing gaze on Old Man Shi and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have long since ceased to exist in this world."
Old Man Shi, caught out but unfazed, replied lightly, "Indeed, I am not of this world. To remain here, I had no choice but to borrow Yang Person's Lifespan. I am forced to do so because I am waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone? You resort to such sinister means—using corpse oil as a medium to borrow Yang Person's lifespan—are you not afraid of condemnation?"
"It's merely a matter of circumstance," Old Man Shi said. "By using corpse oil as a medium and borrowing their lifespan, I can wait for the person I need to meet; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay in this world at all."
Wei Ning stared intently at Old Man Shi and asked each word deliberately, "Tell me who you really are and who it is you are waiting for."
"Corpse Demon!" The three words left Old Man Shi's mouth, and Wei Ning's expression changed dramatically; he had heard of the Corpse Demon before.
"The person he is waiting for is me." Suddenly, someone stepped forward from the crowd and declared loudly.
"Master!" Wei Ning couldn't help but exclaim as the newcomer was indeed Wang Tuozi.
Old Man Shi glanced at Wang Tuozi and then at Wei Ning, saying, "Wang Tuozi, he is your disciple."
Wang Tuozi nodded and replied, "We'll discuss this later. Let's go; Wei, you come along." With that, he started to leave with Old Man Shi.
Wei Ning stepped forward, blocking Wang Tuozi's path. "Master, this person has a wicked heart; he used corpse oil to borrow the lifespan of ordinary people..."
Wang Tuozi waved his hand dismissively. "We'll deal with this later; I have more important matters to attend to. Let's go..."
But Wei Ning's feet seemed rooted to the ground as he stood there, motionless. He looked up to meet Wang Tuozi's gaze and said, "Master, I just mentioned that this person has committed such a heinous act. If he doesn't receive the punishment he deserves, it would be unfair to the victims."
Wang Tuozi replied angrily, "Did you not hear what I said? We'll handle this later."
Wei Ning shook his head. "This matter must be resolved now. Otherwise, I won't let him go."
Wang Tuozi looked at Wei Ning and suddenly let out a few cold laughs. "Alright, alright. You've grown wings now; you think you don't have to listen to your master anymore, is that it?"
Wei Ning stood firm and declared, "Master, I will never forget your kindness towards me for my entire life. However, on this matter, I hope you can give these suffering villagers a fair resolution. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Wang Tuozi said coldly. "You would kill me along with him, right?"
Wei Ning lowered his head and replied, "The disciple wouldn't dare; it's just..."
"There's nothing to discuss," Wang Tuozi said as he grabbed Old Man Shi and turned to leave. "I have urgent matters today, and I'll settle this account with you later." Little did he know, Wei Ning had seized Old Man Shi's other hand and refused to let go.
Wang Tuozi snapped, "Wei Ning, are you really going against me?!"
Wei Ning replied earnestly, "Master, as cultivators, our purpose is to help the world and save lives, to punish the wicked and eliminate evil. If we let this old man go today, how can we still call ourselves Disciples of Blessing? How can we claim to be cultivators?"
"Alright, alright," Wang Tuozi said with a mocking smile instead of anger. "Now it's your turn to lecture me on morality. I'm taking this person away today; if you have the ability, try to keep us here!"
The Fat Officer, who had been watching impatiently from the side, pulled out his gun and shouted, "You bunch of monsters won't escape! I'm here to uphold justice and will arrest all of you..."
With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Tuozi unleashed a gust of wind that knocked the Fat Officer to the ground, sending him tumbling several times and leaving him bruised and battered. "You trash, stop making noise here; it's annoying!"
"Master, this murder and corpse refining oil is a serious crime. Old Man Shi is responsible for several lives; how can we let him go free..."
"Life? Ha!" Wang Tuozi replied sarcastically. "How much is a life worth? I carry thousands of lives on my back; why hasn't anyone come to arrest me? Today, if you turn a blind eye, that's fine. Otherwise, I'll take you down with me!"
With a clever maneuver, he broke free from Wei Ning's grasp and held onto Old Man Shi as he pushed through the crowd. Everyone felt a flash before losing sight of Wang Tuozi and Old Man Shi.
"Chase them!" Wei Ning exchanged glances with Zhang Ye before taking off after them.
Wang Tuozi used the Blessing Method to gain speed, running faster and faster. However, Wei Ning was no ordinary person; his speed was unmatched by Wang Tuozi. In no time at all, he intercepted the two in a desolate area.
"Master!"
"Get lost, I'm not your master. Aren't you supposed to be a superhero saving the Earth? You do your thing as a chivalrous hero for the country and the people, and I'll do my thing as a cunning person. From now on, we owe each other nothing. Don't get in my way, or don't blame me for being rude."
"But those villagers are innocent! They suffered a loss of life just because they mistakenly consumed that old man's Betel Nut. It's unfair to them."
Wang Tuozi glared at Wei Ning, who stood his ground without flinching. The two locked eyes for a long moment before Wang Tuozi sighed deeply and said, "You always have to be so stubborn. Fine, fine." He then pulled out several talismans from his pocket and handed them to Wei Ning. "Have those who mistakenly ate the Betel Nut burn these talismans and then consume the ashes. It might help a little. But this Old Man Shi is of great importance; I absolutely cannot hand him over to you. This is my bottom line. Do you really want to see us come to blows?"
Wei Ning fell silent.
At that moment, Zhang Ye rushed over, panting heavily.
At this point, even if Old Man Shi were handed over to the police, what would happen? A sentence? But the villagers could never regain their lost years of life. Wei Ning could only do his best to save them, hoping that these talismans would help. As for how many he could actually save, that was left to fate.
He could only wait until he mastered his skills further and try to make amends then. Wei Ning sighed inwardly.
Wang Tuozi grunted softly, knowing that Wei Ning wouldn't stop him, and took Old Man Shi away.
Wei Ning handed the talismans to Zhang Ye, gave him a few instructions, and then followed Wang Tuozi up.
As they walked, the master and disciple remained silent after their argument, each harboring their grievances and ignoring one another as they made their way toward Wind Gate.
