Chapter Sixty: The Demon-Suppressing Edict

  Seven people sat around a table, Chen Yunfeng smiled and said to Cheng Ying and others:

  "These three are friends I met a year ago, Guo Fu little sister, Wu Xiwen and Wu Dunru two brothers, let's get familiar with each other, so that in the future when we meet on the rivers and lakes, we can also lend each other a helping hand."

  Guo Fu still had some arrogance, but she was no longer as conceited as before. She nodded at Lu Wushuang and the others, who also smiled politely. Only Cheng Ying couldn't reveal her identity, as the three people in front of her were actually her junior apprentices, and it would be embarrassing for Guo Fu and the two Wu brothers if they found out.

  After finishing a meal, Guo Fu and the others mentioned going to Dàshèngguān. Chen Yunfeng nodded in agreement as he was also heading that way before returning to Xiangyang. They chatted for a while before preparing to leave together.

  With more people, it became much livelier. Chen Yunfeng drove the horse carriage, while Guo Fu often rode his red horse to chat with him casually, and Cheng Ying had no choice but to follow slowly behind.

  They soon arrived at Xiangyang, and Guo Fu and others bid farewell to Huang Rong and Guo Jing who had left Lujiazhuang. Chen Yunfeng also temporarily did not see the two, and with a reluctant Guo Fu bidding farewell, the horse carriage entered Xiangyang.

  Back home, Chen Yunfeng finally relaxed. With some days to go before the Daxingguan Wulin Conference, he planned to first treat Lu Wushuang's broken leg and then continue with his plan.

  As soon as she entered the house, Sima Lingxiao quickly ran out. Originally, she wanted to rush into Chen Yunfeng's arms, but seeing two beautiful girls following behind him, she could only say in a low voice with a blush:

  "Sir, are these all your friends?"

  Several girls along the way knew that Chen Yunfeng's family had a young concubine who had not yet been received, and although these girls were from the jianghu, they wouldn't find this strange. Meanwhile, Cheng Ying slowly lifted her bamboo hat, Lu Wushuang saw Cheng Ying for the first time and was startled by her human skin mask. When Cheng Ying tore off the mask, she looked at her for a while, feeling more and more familiar, and suddenly let out a cry of surprise:

  "You're my cousin."

  Cheng Ying nodded and walked in front of her, pulling up her small hand, saying:

  "It's me, your cousin. You've had a tough time these years, but you finally escaped that female devil's clutches. I'll talk to you again later."

  Lu Wushuang suddenly rushed into Cheng Ying's arms, her shoulders shaking with tears that poured down. After Cheng Ying comforted her for a while, Lu Wushuang finally stopped crying. Seeing that Cheng Ying had finally recognized Lu Wushuang, Chen Yunfeng led Sima Lingxuan to his side and introduced him.

  "Zheng Xing, this is Cheng Ying, this is Lu Wushuang, and lastly this is my disciple Wan Yanping. They are all younger than you, so just call them little sisters. Later, let Xiao Niu and his mother come over to meet them, they will be living here."

  "Alright, hello to the sisters. My name is Sima Lingxing, the concubine of Master. I'll arrange your rooms later, just let me know if you need anything." Sima Lingxing said curiously as she sized up the three beautiful but completely different sisters.

  "Hello, Ling Xing Jie." The three girls also hurriedly said with a smile.

  Especially Lu Wushuang, upon learning that her surgery required Sima Lingxing's assistance, was even more unusually polite. Cheng Ying studied under Huang Yaoshi and his medical skills were also among the best in Jianghu. It was said that Lu Wushuang's foot could be cured, which piqued her interest. She went to Chen Yunfeng's house not only because she had a good impression of him but also due to her pursuit of medical knowledge.

  Chen Yunfeng let the girls get familiar with their surroundings on their own, telling them that he needed to rest for a while before leaving. He returned to his room and pulled a mechanism behind a row of bookshelves, which slowly opened up to reveal a small door amidst creaking sounds. After entering through the door, the bookshelf closed again. Chen Yunfeng lit a candle and sat quietly on the bed, calming down his emotions.

  The time spent outside wasn't very long, but Chen Yunfeng had let Xiaolongnu escape from the wolf's kiss, gone down the mountain to rescue Lu Wushuang, fought with Li Mochou, robbed the Ye family, then had a great battle with the three tigers of the Xiao family, and even met a ghost he never thought he would see. All these events were slowly suppressed in his heart, and only after calming down did he carefully recall the Mao Shan Ding Gui Lu that the Wine Master had shown him.

  He didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but after seeing a ghost in the broken temple, he finally understood that if he could die and be reborn, then what else couldn't happen.

  After recalling it carefully several times and confirming that he hadn't missed anything, he took out the Demon-Suppressing Seal from his bosom, which he had taken from the Ye family. Following the method of the Imperial Instrument, he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of hot blood containing scorching true energy onto the seal. The hot blood carrying true energy was instantly absorbed into the seal, causing him to feel slightly surprised before he began to nourish this so-called treasure with his true energy, which the wine dao cultivator had said could suppress evil ghosts and demons.

  This artifact needs to be carried with you at all times, nourished by true energy, and after 49 days of seclusion, it can be used. Chen Yunfeng had seen Jiudao Ren use the Peach Wood Flying Sword to fight against evil spirits before, but Jiudao Ren's true energy level was too low, so he relied on his own Jiu Yang True Energy to eliminate the evil spirit. Although these demons and monsters are rarely seen, if you encounter something with a bit of background, it will also give him more confidence.

  He didn't have to come here at this time to do these things, Cheng Ying had just recognized Lu Wushuang, and Cheng Ying would definitely tell Lu Wushuang the news that his parents were already dead. His current identity is not good for intervening in this matter, so he simply let the girls settle the matter themselves.

  After a night of careful consideration of the Mao Shan Ding Gui Lu, Chen Yunfeng confirmed that he could try according to the many requirements above before leaving the secret room. As soon as he walked out of the room, Sima Lingxing was already waiting for him in the room.

  "Master, yesterday Cheng Ying's sister told Wu Shuang's sister that her parents had passed away and been buried. They have already rushed to Jiaxing for the memorial service. Cheng Ying's sister asked me to inform Master that they will return within a month at most." Sima Lingxuan said after helping Chen Yunfeng smooth out his clothes.

  Chen Yunfeng nodded, he knew that Lu Wushuang would go to pay his respects to his parents and come back to treat his foot injury. Afterwards, he will definitely go find Li Mochou to take revenge. Chen Yunfeng was very familiar with Li Mochou, from a girl who refused to be bound and oppressed, growing up to become the so-called Red Practice Demon Head today, the root of the problem lies in the stinky rules of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

  At first, she went down the mountain and killed all the men who coveted her beauty. She unexpectedly became a female demon head, but Lu Zhan-yuan used his good looks to deceive her emotions. In the end, he fell in love with He Yu-jun, the escaped daughter of Wu San-tong, and from start to finish, Chen Yun-feng never found anything wrong with Li Mo-xiu, yet she became the most venomous so-called female demon head in The Return of the Condor Hero.

  "What is the world's affection, teaching life and death to each other." Li Mo Xiu's unforgettable words vaguely reveal the injustice of the world. What is evil and what is right? Without those greedy and evil so-called gentlemen, without the hypocritical Lu Zhiyuan, she would not have become a ruthless female demon who kills people without blinking an eye.
