Volume 2: Ren Ping Sheng Chapter 120: Possession

  Congratulations to Liao Zhai on the birth of its third leader "Dawn Break"!

  In the late afternoon, the twilight merged into four directions. I don't know when the wind started to blow, it was blowing strongly and cutting my face with a faintly sharp chill.

  But what's even colder is the inner horror——

  A wolf that looked ordinary suddenly spoke in human language, saying: "This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me; if you want to pass through this road, leave your life and wealth behind!"

  Such words, if spoken by a group of mountain bandits, would be majestic and murderous, but when uttered by Lang Huan, they could make people feel a chill run down their spine, from the tailbone to the top of their head, spreading throughout their body, making them shiver all over, and feeling as if every hair on their body was standing on end.

  Bam!

  The guardian, who was originally holding a knife to drive away the wolf, inexplicably felt a chill of fear, his five fingers loosened, and the blade fell to the ground: "Monster!" He let out a loud howl, his liver and gallbladder splitting apart, and unconsciously turned around and ran away in a flash.

  After all, it was just a small courtyard, and although he had some skills, he had never been in any real battles. As soon as he encountered something strange, his courage and spirit were immediately disrupted.

  He could only hate his parents for giving birth to him with two legs, and the official didn't care about that either, fleeing hastily down the mountain.

  There were leaders among them, and two other sedan chair bearers also panicked and wanted to run away.

  "Don't go!"

  At the critical moment, Li Yifeng let out a loud shout. Although he was only a scholar, with more poetry and books in his belly than strength in his arms, his bravery in the face of danger was far superior to that of those martial artists.

  He crawled out of the sedan chair and grabbed Zhang Tian Shi by the side: "With Master Heavenly in charge, what's there to fear from a wolf monster?"

  As expected, as soon as this sentence came out, the two guards' hearts were much more at ease. After all, Zhang Tian Shi was skilled in flying sword techniques and could kill a hundred-year-old snake from a hundred miles away. With him around, even if jackals became demons, they wouldn't be afraid.

  "Haha! What a load of nonsense, Zhang Tian Shi is just a swindler who deceives the world with his fake reputation."

  At this time, the jackal spoke again and then used its two hind legs as feet, swaggering over.

  Li Yifeng and others were shocked, immediately hiding behind Zhang Tianshi, saying: "Tianshi, quickly release the flying sword!"

  Zhang Ziran's forehead was sweating profusely, his back had been drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly: I've got a farting sword coming out, and I'm so scared that I've pissed out a bubble...

  Although he was a swindling Taoist, after all, he had practiced meditation in Mount Longhu for some time and had gained some superficial understanding of the Taoist way through ear and eye contact. So Zhang naturally could see that the wolf in front of him was not a fully formed demon, but rather a person possessed by a certain cultivator's yin spirit, whose body had been taken over by a demonic entity.

  The reason he could come to such a conclusion was that Zhang naturally observed that this wolf that could speak human language did not conform to the habits of a wolf demon in its words and deeds, and its voice didn't sound like it either. It was more likely that it had been possessed by the yin spirit of some female immortal cultivator, manipulating it to do strange things to scare people.

  It's not just about scaring people, a wolf will also bite when it attacks.

  Possession by a yin spirit, transmigration of souls...

  Someone with such abilities must have condensed a Golden Elixir or higher cultivation. If it's just ordinary cultivation, and only the yin spirit is released, they wouldn't dare to easily seize and possess another body, because the yin spirit is unstable and can easily be counterattacked by the object of possession. With slight carelessness, one would instead be struck and their soul would scatter, turning into dust.

  Compared to humans, it's easier with birds and beasts, but still requires a Golden Elixir cultivation - this is an important threshold.

  However, no matter what, the person behind this wolf was not someone that Zhang Tian Shi could afford to offend, and even if he was scolded as a charlatan, he did not dare to retort.

  "Heavenly Master, quickly release your flying sword!"

  "Cough... This big official, I used too much of my magical powers last time, now I can't even release a flying sword..."

  "What?"

  Li Yifeng was suddenly panicked, the usual elegance, the usual dignity, the usual grandeur of his family's wealth and power, even the prestige of being a scholar that could make thousands of people tremble with fear, all lost their meaning in an instant, light as a feather, without any weight or effect.

  Would a wolf demon be intimidated by his identity and status in front of him?

  Monsters and humans are on different paths, belonging to two separate worlds. The rules of the human world have little constraint or restriction on the power of monsters.

  It turns out that monsters really exist in this world...

  "What's to be done? You're a master, you must have a way."

  A rabbit will bite when it's anxious; Mr. Li was so anxious that he had to grab Zhang Tian Shi and demand that he think of a solution.

  Zhang Tian Shi furrowed his brow, and an idea struck him. He steeled himself and said, "Your Honor, I have a solution. The truth is that this wolf hasn't become a demon; it's been possessed by someone who has taken over its body to transmit their spirit."

  Immediately express what you think in your heart carefully.

  The jackal and wolf had now come close, and heard clearly. The wolf sneered coldly: "So you still have some sense after all!"

  Li Yifeng took a deep breath after hearing this, but since he knew the other party was not a monster, but a human cultivator, he felt less panicked: "You, who are you? Why did you pretend to be a ghost and scare people?"

  The jackal let out a cold snort: "Let me tell you, I'm not here to scare people, I'm here to eat people."

  With a fierce cry, he suddenly sprang up and bit at Li Yifeng with a vicious mouth.

  "Ouch..."

  Li Da Guan Ren reacted quickly, a donkey rolls out - unfortunately, he often lingered in the midst of wind, flowers, snow and moon, his body had been tossed about until it was almost gone, this move only made the "donkey" come out, but the "roll" did not roll out, so he sat down on the ground, shouting loudly: "Di Zi, Mo Qian Feng, who can kill this wolf, a reward of 1,000 taels!"

  Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. The two guards who heard about it earlier also said that this wolf was not a monster, but a person possessed by evil spirits to make trouble. Their courage increased several times, they exchanged a glance, shouted in unison and charged forward with their knives.

  Only Zhang Tian Shi understood in his heart that if the mastermind behind the scenes took action, they would not even qualify as cannon fodder, so he rolled his eyes and found an opportunity to turn around and run down the mountain.

  Li Yifeng saw it, shocked and angry, already had a few points of clarity in his heart, gritted his teeth, regardless of three seven twenty one, followed by running.

  "Ha! Your masters have all escaped, are you two thinking of being the scapegoats?"

  The jackal dodged and weaved nimbly in the flashing blades, without launching a fierce attack, as if playing.

  Na Di Zi and Mo Qian Feng turned their heads to look, not only did the big official run away, but Zhang Tian Shi seemed to have run even faster. They suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, immediately made a mistake, didn't care about anything else, and turned around to run.

  Then, on the winding mountain path, a strange and somewhat comical scene appeared - at the very front, a Taoist priest was running extremely fast, not daring to look back; behind the Taoist priest was an official wearing magnificent attire and high-heeled shoes, panting heavily; further behind were two agile men, striding swiftly.

  Soon, the two men surpassed Li Yifeng.

  Li Yifeng saw that and almost fainted on the spot. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "You guys hurry up and piggyback me, I can't run!"

  The two men looked at each other hesitantly, but then a stern voice came from behind: "Those who are not afraid of death, stay and carry him!"

  Turning back to look, he saw that the wolf was already three steps behind Li Yifeng.

  In this situation, the two guards didn't dare to stay any longer and ran even faster. Nuo Qianfeng shouted as he ran: "Master, we'll go down the mountain to call for help!"

  "Bastards! You two bastards, get back here!"

  Li Yifeng shouted with all his might, his footsteps staggering, almost falling to the ground; while his usual subordinates who would come and go at his beck and call never looked back.

  "Hehe......"

  The jackal's laughter was close to his ears, filled with a playful meaning.
