Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World-Chapter 309: Vanquishing Evil

The greater the evil, the greater the epic. The greater the epic, the greater the halo of the hero.

In the realm of the Enlightened Monk, Jia Hao needed to not only wash his body with nine times, he also needed a huge amount of virtuous karma. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

If he resolves the issue of the corpse infant right now, it will bring him a lot of virtuous karma. However, the corpse infant hasn’t grown yet, so the karma will be less.

But, if Jia Hao lets it grow till it reaches its same phase as the Urban Fantasy game, and then he defeats it, the gain of virtuous karma will be greater.

’ Hmm, this is very plausible. Maybe, I should let the story grow as usual.’ Jia Hao rubbed his chin.

’ As for the Liu Family’s trouble, I think I know how to solve it.’

As Steward Rui and Feng Yunshi waited for Jia Hao, he soon returned from the hills.

" Whew, I think the work is done. I have surveyed the area." Jia Hao spoke. " I think I have a general understanding of what happened here."

" But before that, let’s go to the Liu Family estate first."

Not long after, they arrived at the Liu Family estate.

" Looks like there are other guests here." Feng Yunshi commented as she saw some luxury cars parked outside.

As they walked inside, they were greeted by two men.

" Steward Rui, you have returned." The eldest son, Liu Yan, spoke in a low voice.

" The Taoists from Wuxing Monastery already started their ritual."

" ARRGGHH!"

A sudden scream startled everyone. Making everyone rush towards the bedroom. Suddenly, Jia Hao’s eyes turned deep as he held Liu Yan and pulled him away.

*BOOM!*

The door shattered as a vase flew out. The vase crashed on the wall, leaving an impact.

" Th-Thank you." Liu Yan was momentarily stunned as his heart chilled. If Jia Hao hadn’t pulled him away, his head might have shattered.

" You all, stay away from this room." Jia Hao spoke in a serious voice. " I will see what’s happening inside."

It was the bedroom of the Liu Family’s patriarch. Yet, Jia Hao could smell the stench of swamp and rotting corpses from outside. A dark miasma permeated the room, almost looking like smoke.

" ... And the four heavenly venerables who look at the world, allow the virtue to surpass the evil..."

As Jia Hao stepped inside, he saw four taoist priests sitting before an altar, praying with peach blossom swords.

On the bed was the patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Hai. However, he barely looked like a human anymore.

The body shriveled like a person whose blood has been sucked, skin covered with wounds, oozing out rotten pus, and strange scales covering his arms and chest.

Talismans and enchanted ropes covered the bed, restraining Liu Hai. However, with his tremendous efforts to get free, the taoist priests faced great trouble in suppressing him.

" Head Priest, we are almost out of the enchanted dog blood." One taoist spoke in a gloomy voice. " Without it, the sacred beads won’t be able to stop that monster!"

" Damn it! Why the ritual isn’t working!? What kind of demon possessed him?"

" Tsk tsk, you are doing the Spirit Retuning Ritual, huh?" Jia Hao commented. " It’s a good choice for a normal occasion. However, right now, it’s the same as treating a person’s ailment rather than his root cause."

" Yo-You brat! Who are you to lecture us?" One of the priests barked at Jia Hao.

" Little brother, we are in a tough situation. Please, don’t distract us." The second priest tried to reason amicably. However, suddenly, Liu Hai raised his hand as a green glint flashed between his fingers.

*SWOOSH*

The head priest was in the middle of the chanting, unable to notice it. As for the other priests, it was already late when they noticed.

" Master!"

" Head Priest!"

Jia Hao’s hand moved like lightning as he caught the green flash.

*CLIINGGGG!*

Like a crisp ring of metal, Jia Hao caught the thing that aimed at the Head Priest’s forehead.

" Whoa, that was dangerous." Jia Hao commented as he looked at the item. It turned out to be a small green scale with a sharp point.

" You all keep chanting. I will be right back."

" Benefactor, wait!"

" It might be dangerous!"

The taoist priests were glad that Jia Hao managed to save the head priest. However, they still called him out with concern when Jia Hao walked past the protective ropes.

" What do we have here?"

" RAAHHHH!"

Liu Yan’s gaze fell on Jia Hao as he jumped at him. His nails were already elongated, turning into sharp, green nails.

However, there was no change in Jia Hao’s expression, as with his Divine Sage’s Eyes, he could see everything moving slowly.

" Don’t resist, Old Man!"

*BOOOM!*

Using the power of Golden Arhat Vajra Body Arts, Jia Hao’s palm glowed with bright buddhist light.

" Begone, Evil!"

" KUAHHHHH!"

Jia Hao’s palm was like a mountain, crushing the chest of Liu Yan under its absolute weight. Jia Hao’s fingers moved as he channeled the metal energy through his fingers.

With a sharp glint, he cut the waist of the Liu Yan and dug his finger inside.

" ARRGHHHH!"

Liu Yan screamed in agony, but Jia Hao kept it suppressed. With a bit of twist of his fingers, he managed to dig out something.

The taoist priests were stunned when they saw Liu Yan almost turning motionless the moment Jia Hao pulled out something weird from Liu Yan’s body.

" And now, let’s tidy it up a bit." Jia Hao pulled out his healing spray and applied it to the wound.

Soon enough, bleeding slowly stopped as the wound started to sizzle, as if it was rapidly closing.

" Hey priests, do the purification ritual and expel the remaining evil miasma from his body."

" Ye-Yes..."

The remaining three priests hurried to Liu Yan’s sleeping body. They tapped him with a peach sword while chanting taoist mantras, sprinkling sacred water on him.

" Thank you, fellow brother, for saving my life."

Jia Hao looked at the old Hed Priest, who already got up from his position.

" So, you were awake?" Jia Hao chuckled.

" I was, but I couldn’t have moved." Priest Ming joined his palms and bowed before Jia Hao.

" I have never seen such vicious evil in my life. But thanks to your help, we managed to resolve it."

" May I ask, which generation disciple of Golden Lotus Temple are you from?"

" Golden Lotus Temple? Haha, no, I am not from there." Jia Hao chuckled. " I am just a passerby, Head Priest."

The Golden Lotus Temple is another name for Shaolin in Tianshu Nation. Head Priest Ming naturally thought Jia Hao was from there, as he noticed the pure Buddhist energy he carried.

" Are you telling the truth?" Priest Ming was stunned. " But other than that place, no one could have used such a sophisticated technique."

" The world is vast, Priest Ming." Jia Hao laughed. " There are many things you haven’t seen."

" Right, you are completely right." Head Priest laughed in answer. " But I am curious, what did you dig out from Mr. Liu’s body?"

Jia Hao raised his bloodied fist as he channeled some of pure energy to cover it. " Be careful, it’s really evil."

When he opened his hand, Head Priest Ming was stunned when he saw it.

It was a small finger bone!

" A small finger bone carrying such evil? My goodness, it must be from some corpse demon." Priest Ming spoke in a gloomy voice.

" I believe the time Mr. Liu went to the factory, he must have visited the mountain stream. This must have come from the burial graves from the top of the mountain."

" That’s absurd. Normal gravesites shouldn’t contain such things." Priest Ming pondered. " Maybe after everything is over, we should head there to oversee the fengshui."

" Some other day, perhaps." Jia Hao chuckled. " I shall keep it with me so it won’t cause any damage to others."

" You are truly virtuous. May I know your good name?

Jia Hao turned around for the last time with a grin.

" It’s Jia Hao."

*Outside*

" JIA HAO! YOU MUST TEACH ME MAGIC!"

Jia Hao rubbed his face as he got pinned on the car bumper by Feng Yunshi.
