I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 552 The Purpose of the Demon

"Money! Money! Give me money!"

"I, I want to make a lot of money! I can make a lot of money!"

"I want great wealth and success!"

The man tied up like a zongzi had red eyes, muttering to himself, gritting his teeth.

And the demonic qi on him surged intermittently, depleting his life force while strengthening his power.

Visibly, the thumb-thick hemp ropes were stretched to their limit, and there was every possibility that he might break them.

This was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

For cultivators, cultivation could be converted into demonic qi, but for ordinary people, they could only exchange life force for power.

And when he died, this unrestrained demonic qi would transfer to other people, using the human heart as a trigger, snowballing more and more.

"You think it's a good idea, but it's not very useful. Do you really believe the Anomaly Suppression Bureau and people like us are just for show? Even the slightest commotion will catch the attention of Abnormal People, and even if we can't kill him, healing the civilians isn't that hard, is it?"

"Like this time."

Guangyue, being the local landlord, naturally took charge of this matter.

Guangyue pinched a seal with his hand, then turned it into a "卍" character rune, pressing it onto the man's forehead.

The rune flashed a golden light, instantly entering the brain, merging into his divine soul. In the next moment, as if triggered by a reaction, his pupils turned pure black, but with faint golden light shining through, making it very eerie.

However, the source of demonic qi on him was just an inducement, with the rest of the demonic qi generated within him, far weaker than Guangyue.

After the rune entered his body, the demonic qi was expelled within a few breaths, wrapping around the source of the demonic qi.

"How is it?" Lu Zheng asked.

"He's an expert, no less than that Monk An," Guangyue replied, then infused Buddha Light into the man's body, the Buddha Light surged like a tide, eventually wearing down the source of the demonic qi.

However...

With the demonic qi expelled, the man rolled back his eyes and fainted straight away.

"This..."

"Master..."

"His divine soul is severely injured, very weakened, it will take at least three days to wake up, and he will often feel tired and lethargic, how long it takes to recover depends on his fate," Guangyue said.

"Thank you, master! Thank you, master!"

Being alive was enough, several people were full of gratitude, presumably all kin of the man, and a woman with a young child knelt down, kowtowing.

Guangyue reached out, lifting the several people off the ground with an invisible force, "Get up, tell me what's the situation with this person, how did he get possessed?"

Guangyue revealed his divine techniques, making the ordinary people even more reverent, hastily answering.

"Replying to the master, we are all residents of Dongxi Town, we live in the town daily, he is Wu Zhuang, making a living by selling small items in the villages under the town.

Since he returned from outside ten days ago, he has been muttering to himself, behaving oddly but not seriously. He spoke and acted normally until three days ago when he started asking people for money, hitting them if they didn't give, with great strength, refusing to listen to anyone, so we had to tie him up.

We called a doctor, who said he had hysteria, prescribed several types of medicine, but they were not effective, then suggested he might be possessed, perhaps encountering something unclean."

Guangyue frowned, "Are there others in Dongxi Town showing these signs?"

"This..."

People looked at each other, finally all shaking their heads, "Forgive us, master, we don't know."

Guangyue asked a few more questions, but clearly, the people knew nothing except ten days ago the man went to a village under Dongxi Town, Tian Family Village, located in the mountains, a remote location.

...

The people acquired a Buddha wooden statue made of sandalwood and some sandalwood incense, which could calm the mind and nourish the divine soul, then left with repeated thanks, taking the man away.

Guangyue and the others returned to the backyard wing-room, brewed some tea, and sat down.

"Not friendly visitors, this man's cultivation is not below that of Monk An," Guangyue confirmed again.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Inform the Anomaly Suppression Bureau and request Lord Chu's intervention."

Master Jue Xuan: ???

Guangyue, familiar with Lu Zheng's conduct, didn't argue, "Why not let Dao Brother go to Yizhou, and I'll go to Dongxi Town and Tian Family Village with Uncle Master to investigate first."

Although Guangyue was not strong, he possessed Light Relics, which specifically countered demons, and could be helpful even against old demons.

Lu Zheng nodded, "I have no objections."

"Uncle Master?" Guangyue looked at Master Jue Xuan.

Master Jue Xuan stroked his large beard, naturally without objection, "Le Yin will stay at the temple, we will leave now."

Letting the little novice monk lead Le Yin away, Master Jue Xuan took Guangyue into the air, then flew northeast.

Lu Zheng also took Shen Ying, flying all the way to Yizhou Prefecture.

On the way, Lu Zheng suddenly exclaimed, "You can leave so far now?"

Shen Ying smiled gently, "Not only has Lu Lang's Dao practice progressed rapidly, but I have not been idle over the years, through the Earth Realm of Yizhou, I can now move freely."

"Good, good, good!" Lu Zheng laughed, "The demon is not weak, let's hurry."

Lu Zheng wrapped his arm around Shen Ying's waist, casting the "Western Extreme Wind-Calling Curse," the clouds billowed, instantly accelerating, soon arriving at Yizhou Prefecture.

Moments later, a white cloud and a black light rose from the Anomaly Bureau, heading towards Pingtan County.

...

Pingtan County, Dongxi Town, Tian Family Village.

Seeing the six bound villagers and nearly twenty others rambling nonsensically, Master Jue Xuan waved his hand, expelling the demonic qi from them.

However, Guangyue frowned deeply, for according to the other villagers, nothing unusual had occurred in the village recently, and these people had experienced nothing special.

With such clarity, where could they find the demon?

Master Jue Xuan struck his Zen staff, shaking his head and saying, "The demon is cunning, not attracting civilians' attention, and has already left."

Guangyue asked, "Left?"

Master Jue Xuan nodded, saying, "The person with the lightest symptoms had demonic qi enter their body seven days ago, this demon was very cunning, leaving before the demon thoughts in the first batch of people burst forth."

As he finished speaking, Lu Zheng, Shen Ying, and Chu Jin descended from the sky together.

After Chu Jin and Master Jue Xuan greeted each other, Guangyue stepped forward and explained the situation.

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, determined to play guerrilla warfare?

Chu Jin said solemnly, "This demon is truly idle, spending over ten days affecting over a hundred civilians, only to be easily cured by us, what's his point?"

Guangyue pondered silently, as Lu Zheng and Shen Ying exchanged looks, unable to figure it out either.

Master Jue Xuan, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, slowly spoke, "Perhaps... looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?" Chu Jin questioned.

Master Jue Xuan nodded, "To find someone among the civilians suitable for cultivating demonic skill."

Chu Jin's eyes flashed with realization.

Lu Zheng also thought of the big-headed demon eradicated before in Peach Blossom Plain.

"I see."
