Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 901 - 268: Inheritance Scroll (2)

Shen Shiqi followed behind Chen Yan, staring in astonishment as Chen Yan charged in, killing all around, and couldn’t help but grin.

"Fellow Daoist... your, your, your style of doing things..."

"What’s the matter? We’ve come for a fight, why waste words and time, just kill them; once they’re all dead, it’ll be peaceful."

Shen Shiqi frowned and said, "Actually, we could leave someone alive and ask some questions..."

"A pack of beasts, what can you ask them?" Chen Yan shook his head.

"Beasts?"

Chen Yan laughed heartily, glanced at Shen Shiqi: "Although you have secrets, your body is too weak, not initiated, not enlightened; theoretically you know a lot, but in practice, you can’t use any spell.

I’ve already seen through the true identities of these house servants and steward! They are nothing but souls of beasts captured, then stuffed into talisman paper, transformed into human form through spells."

Saying this, Chen Yan walked over and lifted the head of the first little old man he had killed.

Amazingly, this guy’s head was still intact!

"This steward’s body is the most solidly made, but a beast is just a beast; it was tamed by the master here and forced to learn human mimicry. In truth, it has no intelligence, works mechanically following its tamed routine."

Sure enough, the head of the little old man, once lifted, was still clamouring: "Give me back my body, give me back my body... No noise in front of Li Mansion!"

Chen Yan sighed, tossed the head on the ground, and stomped it flat!

With a bang, it turned into green smoke and disappeared.

Chen Yan looked at Shen Shiqi, pointed at his own eyes: "My eyes have a supernatural ability, capable of seeing through the true forms of these evils."

A bit like Sun Wukong’s fiery eyes—of course, Chen Yan knew he was far inferior.

These eyes of his seemed strange ever since returning from the Domain Realm.

At home, they could see the translucent Lu Sisi clearly!

And here, they could immediately see through these house servants!

In Chen Yan’s eyes, what stood before him were not house servants and steward, but paper men!

And faintly, there were translucent souls stuck on them.

For example, that little old man was a gray canine-shaped soul.

And those house servants included snakes and rats!

As for the supernatural ability of these eyes...

Chen Yan had actually already figured it out.

It was something Senior Brother Wang had given him to eat!

Back then, he felt immediately that his eyes were modified, yet didn’t know it would have such miraculous effects!

Indeed, coming from a sweeping monk from the Saint Sect, how could it be ordinary?

Faced with Chen Yan’s explanation, Shen Shiqi examined Chen Yan’s eyes, nodded, without much curiosity on his face, and said blandly: "I see, your eyes should have ’Illusion Breaking’ power."

"Illusion Breaking?"

"Hm, it’s a kind of Divine Technique, but a postnatal Divine Technique. Some Demon Race creatures naturally have similar innate divine powers."

"Like Sun Wukong’s fiery..."

"You’re thinking too much, it’s far inferior to that." Shen Shiqi shook his head, then frowned and looked at Chen Yan: "Did you eat something special? Technically, no one in this world should train to have ’Illusion Breaking’."

"Does fish oil from childhood count?"

Chen Yan spoke nonsensically.

Shen Shiqi rolled his eyes: "Okay, you have your secrets, I won’t pursue them."

The two continued to casually chat as they walked toward the main hall.

They had caused quite a commotion in the front yard, prompting servants to rush in and shut the main hall door.

Now, reaching the front of the hall, they saw the door closed, and the silhouette inside seemed to be trembling.

Chen Yan sighed: "The master here, why employ rats as house servants."

Just as he finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly came from inside the main hall.

"The guest speaks rightly, indeed, these cowardly mice let the guest down."

As the words fell, the tightly closed door of the hall suddenly opened, and a tall figure emerged.

This person was not short, dressed in a long white robe, with a scholar’s square cap on his head, possessing a certain demeanour.

As he stepped out, he was holding a scroll in hand, a faint cold smile on his face.

Upon stepping out, he faced Chen Yan and Shen Shiqi standing below the steps, first slightly stunned, then shook his head, saying: "You’re all called cowardly mice, losing the face of my Li Mansion, hurry up and get out to be punished."

At his words, the few house servants hiding in the hall shivered and joined together, tremblingly walking out, kneeling beside the scholar.

The scholar glanced coldly at everyone, shaking his head as he spoke with some displeasure: "How have I taught you rules before!

Beasts are indeed beasts, no matter how much they learn human ways, it doesn’t stick. Just a little trouble and they panic and flee, truly wasting my efforts!"

After finishing, the scholar picked up the scroll in his hand and tapped it casually.

Bang bang bang, streams of green smoke rose, and the house servants instantly screamed as they vanished in the rising smoke.

Chen Yan glimpsed the scroll in the scholar’s hand, clearly emitting a faint golden light, and his eyes lit up.

It’s a treasure indeed!

Sure enough, the scholar smiled slightly at the two, even bowing in greeting.

"Originally, it was esteemed guests visiting, deserving good hospitality; I didn’t expect these beasts to become human, only gaining human form, not human heart, neglecting to offend the guests, sorry for the trouble."

Saying this, he looked at the side door that had been broken in the courtyard, and the two overturned flower stands from the collision earlier.
