If he hadn’t insisted on coming to the rescue, none of this would have happened.

Still...

Those two fools looked like young people who had little experience of the world. Although they possessed the terrifying power to kill his revered ancestor, those two were still too young in the end and had been fooled by his clever tricks, allowing Taoist Priest Yuan to escape.

At the same time, he was also aware that he could no longer stay at his Taoist Temple, and he couldn’t even return to the county city where he had lived before.

He absolutely had to leave this place under cover of night, and it would be best to find a secluded place to hide for a while.

As long as he avoided the limelight for some time and later used the art of disguise to change his appearance,

he would be able to remain safe and unscathed.

As for a confrontation?

Only a ghost would think about fighting back!

Taoist Priest Yuan knew full well what he was capable of. The female cultivator seemed a bit weaker, but that so-called Daoist Priest Fan from Qiulong Temple who was all muscle was definitely not a simple existence!

Daoist Priest Yuan was confident he could defeat Yun Jiuqing, but he had no confidence whatsoever in overcoming Fan Wu.

So...

He ran!

And he ran with all his might, his poor old arms and legs pumping as hard as they could.

However.

Just when he thought he would be out of danger once he made it past the dense forest, he suddenly noticed something stirring behind him, which frightened him into looking back fiercely.

There seemed to be nothing there, but the noise from just before definitely wasn’t fake.

He was old, yes, but there was nothing wrong with his ears.

And it was impossible that he had heard wrong.

Under heightened alert,

Taoist Priest Yuan slowly stopped, his right hand grasping a Peach Wood Sword without his knowing when he had prepared it.

He looked extremely cautious,

and his murky old eyes wandered around incessantly behind him, as if trying to discern the cause of the noise before daring to continue his flight.

After all, if the noise was from pursuers, blindly running could be disastrous if someone attacked from behind.

"Who’s skulking behind me? Is it you two fools?" Taoist Priest Yuan’s harsh shout mentioned two people, clearly referring to Yun Jiuqing and Fan Wu.

But there was no response.

He took out a Capturing Talisman, wiping it over his eyes, but still, he saw nothing.

His brows furrowed tightly, "Could it be... that I’m just being paranoid? Perhaps it was merely a rabbit in the forest, or a weasel?"

Perhaps...

It was because he was too anxious and tense,

perceiving the normal sounds of the forest as if they were pursuers catching up to him?

Whew! Surely that must be it, right?

Thinking this, perhaps relaxing a bit, Taoist Priest Yuan prepared to turn around and continue his escape.

But then.

This turn.

Frightened him to the point where his soul nearly left his body, and he almost dropped the Peach Wood Sword in his hand. The pupils in his cloudy old eyes contracted to the size of pinpricks. As if seeing a ghost in broad daylight, he stared at the towering figure before him.

He was dumbfounded!

Jaw dropped in shock!

Eyes filled with horror!

Because he saw that man—the so-called Daoist Priest Fan from Qiulong Temple, who for some reason was shirtless, displaying an incredibly muscular torso! When had this person... this person appeared here?

"You..." Just as Taoist Priest Yuan was about to say something, the words he wanted to utter were all stuck in his throat, because his windpipe was gripped by a large hand.

Only to see Fan Wu, with one hand seizing Taoist Priest Yuan’s throat, effortlessly lifted him into the air,

leaving the old priest’s feet dangling several inches off the ground.

[Evildoer Taoist Priest Yuan——Life: 677——Power: 22——Skill...]

These were the attribute values of the opponent in Fan Wu’s eyes.

Very weak.

Barely stronger than some of the ordinary Ghost Soldiers under the Ghost King of the Ten Halls, just a bit stronger than Yun Jiuqing, the trinket.

Not even as strong as a Ghost General of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls.

Not to mention the amnesic Nanjun County Prince.

Just trash.

In his other hand which still clutched the City God’s Command, he could see the word "Evil" on it was emitting a faint red glow... and the command itself trembled slightly.

"It really can distinguish good from evil, huh! I just wonder if it really doubles its power against the great wicked, making their injuries even more severe?" Fan Wu looked at Taoist Priest Yuan with curiosity—a perfect test subject before his eyes, wasn’t it?

The hand that Fan Wu had around the other’s neck...

Suddenly released its grip.

However...

As Taoist Priest Yuan’s feet were just about to touch the ground, Fan Wu’s other hand holding the City God’s Command slapped the opponent with it as easily as swatting a fly.

The moment he was able to breathe again, Taoist Priest Yuan felt an unbearable sharp pain on his face,

along with a powerful force.

His head turned sharply.

His body flew to the side like a rag doll, slamming and breaking a large tree,

then continuing to crash into the trunk of another tree.

He almost knocked that one down too.

"Aaaaaaah!!!" A ghostly scream of terror echoed from the living man’s mouth. When the City God’s Command smacked his face, he felt as if both his body and soul were suffering unbearable agony.

The sensation was like being thrown into a boiling hot oil pan, frying him alive.
