Volume 2: Wu Enters Witchcraft Chapter 98: The Grand Birthday of King Liang

  This golden ring girl is the daughter of King Liang, named Liang Luoshi. King Liang has more than a dozen sons, but only one daughter, who is the princess of Qingzhou and the apple of King Liang's eye. More than a dozen brothers are extremely fond of her and let her do whatever she wants.

  Liang Luoshi occasionally discovered that there was a young flower fox in the Hundred Flowers Valley. Although this flower fox was still young, it was an ancient rare species after all. Ordinary witches were no match for it, and the Hundred Flowers Valley was full of dangers, with monsters everywhere. Launching a large-scale attack on the Hundred Flowers Valley would definitely result in heavy casualties.

  She didn't make a sound, fearing that this ancient strange beast would be taken away by others. In secret, she ordered people to use poisonous snakes, insects and ants as bait to lure the flower fox out of the Hundred Flowers Valley, then led the witches to surround it, forcing it into this small mountain.

  Liang Luoshi had raised a golden eagle, which had already become a demon. She ordered the golden eagle to monitor Huahua's movements from high altitude and set up a trap to capture her. Just as she was about to succeed, not only did Huahua fall into someone else's hands, but even her own golden eagle mysteriously died, provoking true anger in her heart.

  "Did these people go to Qingzhou?"

  Liang Luoshi's face was as cold as frost, and he sneered: "Most of them are wizards who came to pay their respects to my father. What a big nerve, even daring to snatch the things I've set my eyes on! These people deserve to die! Liang Rong, send someone to search for me, even if we have to dig up all of Qingzhou, we must find these reckless and arrogant individuals and hang their corpses as an example!"

  "Yes!" Dozens of wizards responded in unison and headed towards Qingzhou.

  Ye Xue and others had not yet reached Qingzhou City when they saw five or six groups of Wuist priests rushing past them, heading straight for Qingzhou. These people were dressed in bright clothes and riding angry horses, some even rode on demonic beasts, lions, tigers, antelopes, and all sorts of strange creatures.

  "Shao Bao, what's going on with these people? How does everyone know how to use the yuanqi mask?"

  Zhou Shiwen saw these people raise their jade towers, and the jade towers hung down bronze bell-like yuanqi screens, covering their bodies, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

  Fang Chen's face turned gloomy and he said, "Shao Bao, the two techniques you taught us shouldn't be something that everyone understands, right?"

  Zhou Shiwen nodded repeatedly and said: "Absolutely a big road goods!"

  Ye Xuan coughed twice and smiled, saying: "You two gentlemen, the yuanqi mask technique that I'm teaching you is a unique secret skill of my Ye family, absolutely different from theirs..."

  Suddenly, more than a dozen wizards rushed past them, one of whom was a young wizard who turned his head and stared at Gan Chai Jiao with greed in his eyes, saying: "What a fine beast, like a dragon! Big brother, this horse is so divine, no different from the Dragon, worth a city, why not seize it and present it to King Liang, our brothers will definitely be appreciated by King Liang!"

  The leader of the bandits looked around and saw that there was only one old man on this road, sneered and said: "Rob them of their horses, these people will still report to King Liang, it's better to kill them all, leaving only that little girl, let us have some fun for a few days!"

  Another wizard sneered: "These few people are obviously country bumpkins from the countryside, and their cultivation is not high. Even if they were killed, no one would avenge them!"

  Before he could finish speaking, a rocket suddenly shot out of his throat and pierced through his neck!

  "Fourth brother!"

  The leading sorcerer's eyes were about to split open, and he let out a furious roar. Suddenly, two tentacles pierced his neck, and his body instantly withered away.

  The remaining dozen or so wizards shouted loudly, a burst of light flashed by, and they all raised their jade towers, the yuanqi canopy hanging down, protecting themselves, shouting: "Kill them all, avenge Big Brother and Fourth!"

  "Laozi was beaten to death by Ye Shaobao all the way, with a stomach full of anger. You are looking for your own death, and it's just right to use you to vent your anger!" Zhou Shiwen laughed loudly and rushed into the crowd like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

  The Blood Demon's heart behind Fang Chen thumped, its eight tentacles waving about as it wrapped around a wizard, crushing his yuanqi shield. A hint of red appeared on its face before turning pale again. It licked its lips: "It's been so long since I've tasted the flavor of blood... If I don't feed the Blood Demon's yuan soul, it'll suck my own blood..."

  The two of them encountered many masters along the way, all of whom were abnormal-level figures. Moreover, they had clashed with Ye Xu dozens of times on their journey and were always suppressed by him. As a result, although the two men's cultivation advanced rapidly, they were never able to demonstrate their true strength.

  At this moment, encountering these witches allows them to display the results of their hard work for many days!

  Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, opening up a killing spree. Compared to Ye Xu, they were slightly inferior, but compared to these people, they had an overwhelming advantage!

  Ye Xu hadn't even had time to react when the two of them slaughtered all these people.

  An old man nearby stopped in his tracks, standing aside to watch. He saw the jade towers bursting one after another, turning into spiritual energy and dissolving. The things stored in the jade towers fell from the sky with a rustling sound, piling up on the ground. He sighed: "Alas, the twelve brothers of the Zheng family were once powerful, but they offended someone they shouldn't have. They tried to rob, but ended up losing their lives..."

  The old man had a goatee tied up with a thin rope, and he was obviously very fond of his whiskers. Although he was advanced in years, his eyes were bright and his spirit was vigorous, and he was also a wizard.

  "What should I call you, sir?" Ye Xuyuan asked with a distant bow.

  That old man's cultivation was not high, his primordial energy was like a scorching sun, and he should be in the Solid Origin stage. With an air of autumnal elegance, he said: "I am Gong Yangxian, you few juniors have decent cultivation, but your methods are too ruthless, leaving no room for mercy, which harms the harmony of heaven..."

  He suddenly saw a blood-red caterpillar on his shoulder, and his face changed slightly. He hurriedly smiled: "It turns out that you are the high-ranking members of the Five Poison Sect. I didn't know your identities, so I was rude to you. Forgive me, forgive me!"

  "Five Poisons Sect? Could it be related to the Gu insect I've been cultivating?" Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, responding vaguely.

  The old man's thoughts were further solidified, and he thought to himself: "The Five Poisons Sect is a notorious demonic sect in Lingnan, it's said that the disciples of this sect are ruthless and cruel, they kill people without batting an eye, using live humans to cultivate witchcraft and refine witch treasures. How did these evil people end up in Zhongyuan? Are they also here to congratulate King Liang on his birthday? But what about the little girl next to him, who's raising a demonic beast - could she be from the Hundred Flowers Palace? It's strange, why would the Hundred Flowers Palace be mixed up with the Five Poisons Sect..."

  He secretly glanced at Su Qiaoqiao and muttered to himself: "Being able to get along with the little demon head of the Five Poisons Sect, she's probably a female demon head too..."

  "Finally made it, old man!"

  Zhou Shiwen swept away the belongings of the Zheng brothers, exclaiming with glee: "These guys are simply bandits at heart, they have a lot of gold and silver treasures, as well as many materials for refining witch soldiers! Unfortunately, there is no finished witch soldier! Shaobao, you didn't make a move, so these things aren't yours to share. They all belong to me and Xiaobai!"

  Fang Chen licked his lips, smiled faintly and said: "Robbery is indeed the best way to make a fortune. Why not take advantage of King Liang's birthday celebration, kill all the guests who come to congratulate him, rob their gifts, and give one to King Liang as well!"

  Gong Yang's face turned dark as he silently cursed, "Shameless! They robbed someone of a gift meant for the King of Liang and then had the audacity to present another one to him? The Five Poisons Sect's young demons are indeed ruthless and unreasonable..."

  Zhou Shiwen suddenly saw him and vigilantly said: "Who is this old man? Should we take care of him too?"

  Gong Yangping knew that the Five Poisons Sect's people had always been lawless, so how could they still dare to rely on their seniority? He hastily smiled and said: "You gentlemen are visiting Qingzhou for the first time, do you need a guide?"

  Ye Xuheng's mind stirred, and four blood silkworms flew out from his shoulders. He smiled and said, "Please don't blame us, Senior Gong Yang. My junior brother and I are new to the Central Plains and unfamiliar with its customs, so we may have unintentionally offended you."

  The old goat let out a sigh of relief, seeing that he was much easier to talk to than the big-bearded bandit and the vicious-looking young white face. He quickly took a few steps closer to Ye Xu, and said intimately: "I feel like I've known you for a long time, calling you 'senior' would be too formal. I'm an old man with a thick skin, so just call me 'older brother'. You don't have to be shy, just call me that. My home is not far from here, in Qingfeng Ridge. If anyone knows Qingzhou well, I'd say I'm second only to one person!"

  Ye Xu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, this old man's face was thick-skinned to the point of being terrifying.

  However, he came to Qingzhou for the first time and knew nothing about its geography and humanities. Although Gong Yangxian was not very powerful, he was a local of Qingzhou after all. With him by his side, there would be fewer misunderstandings, and he could also see the young talents of Qingzhou through him.

  "Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that those people from earlier also knew the method of collecting objects with Jade Building!" Zhou Shiwen's face turned gloomy, his eyes gleaming with malice.

  "Cough cough, the method I'm teaching you is absolutely different from theirs..."

  Ye Xuhardened his scalp, refused to admit defeat, and hastily asked Gong Yang: "Gong Yang brother, what other forces are there in Qingzhou besides the Liang Wangfu?"

  The flower fox stood on their shoulders, sweetly calling out: "Tickets~"
