Chapter Fifty-Three A Tattered Piece of Cloth

  It's a terribly embarrassing thing, because of a momentary greed, he ended up losing so big, if the people on the mountain knew about it, wouldn't they laugh him to death?!

  Now, the Great Han is in an awkward situation, his hands must be constantly stretched out, so as to ensure that the millet light covered with gray cloth on his palm can pin down Kong Zhui's Mud Ball Palace, making his primordial spirit unable to move. And as soon as he relaxes his hand, Kong Zhui's primordial spirit will be free, and at that time, it will be their turn to be unlucky.

  According to their usual procedure, Kong Zhen should have been minced meat by now and it's impossible for him to be standing there like that.

  So now this great Han began to be in a dilemma.

  "Landlord...?" Two young men stopped their futile efforts and looked at the big man with their limp hands.

  The big Han's face also showed a hint of anxiety, since one's own family knows their own affairs. The light on his hand can't last for long, when the time comes, once the light goes out, this fat guy in front of him who is currently impervious to swords and spears will surely beat himself to death?

  This is a matter of life and death, but at the same time, it's also an unsolvable problem.

  After a while, Kong Zhuang seemed to understand the other's predicament as well, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

  The faint light gradually weakened, and a bean-sized sweat bead appeared on Da Han's forehead, dripping down one by one. This time, it wasn't like the fake ones from earlier, but real sweat brought out by fear.

  "What a delightful baby!" When the aura dissipated to a certain extent, although the Mud Ball Palace was still nailed by Kong Zhuan, it could no longer restrain Kong Zhuan's primordial spirit.

  That big man was thinking hard at this time, wondering how to stabilize Kong Zhuo after the millet light disappeared. Unexpectedly, before the millet light had even disappeared, his hand was firmly grasped by Kong Zhuo.

  The intense pain caused Da Han to let out a loud roar, the only fortunate thing was that Kong Zhuo's hand was very measured and did not crush his bones.

  "It seems we need to have a good talk! " Kong Zhan said with a smile, looking around, at this time, the people on the official road were gradually increasing, and almost all of them stopped their steps far away.

  These people watched the two young men holding knives and randomly chopping Kong Zhuo, naturally no one dared to get close, but they wanted to see the excitement, so slowly, they formed a circle around twenty or thirty feet away.

  This makes Kong Zhuang feel like a monkey.

  He wasn't a monkey, nor did he like being treated as one, so he didn't linger on the official road. He grasped the wrist of the big man, his body slightly condensed, and transformed into a yellow smoke that went straight into the ground, making him escape through the earth.

  A moment later, about a hundred miles away from the official road, in a secluded mountain valley, a burst of yellow smoke emerged, followed by the figures of Kong Zhuang and the big man.

  "Damn it, escaping with someone is really damn tiring!" Kong Zhuo secretly complained.

  The big man's body swayed, his face covered in dust, and he looked around dazedly. After taking in the precipice, steep cliffs, and dark mountains, his expression changed drastically, and the initial arrogance and confidence were nowhere to be seen.

  "Spare my life, great immortal!!!"

  His legs suddenly went limp and he collapsed onto the ground.

  Isn't this gap too big?

  Kong Zhan seemed somewhat unaccustomed to such a transformation, looking at the man with an odd expression, "Hey, what are you doing? Stand up and talk!"

  "Spare my life, Immortal! The man cried out again and didn't get up, but instead knelt on the ground. "Spare my life, Immortal! My family has an 80-year-old mother at home and a three-year-old child. If I die, they won't survive either!"

  This rascal

  He's absolutely a cunning and crafty bastard!

  "Alright, alright, I won't kill you, get up and talk!"

  "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The man exclaimed repeatedly, then stood up from the ground and respectfully stood beside Kong Zhuo.

  Shaking his head secretly, he felt extremely embarrassed that he was restrained by such a guy just now, but it didn't show on his face.

  "Listen, I'm not a bandit or an immortal, so you don't have to be afraid of me. Bringing you here doesn't mean anything else, it's just that there are too many people on the official road and it's inconvenient to talk!"

  "Yes, yes! " He nodded repeatedly again.

  "Tell me, how did you know it was I who brought your group down?" Kong Zhuo asked lightly.

  He didn't directly ask what kind of treasure this guy had on him or where he got it from, but instead asked a question like that and then looked at the man with a smile.

  The man gave a sudden start, looked up at Kong Zhan with one eye, and then lowered his eyelids again, forcing out a smile that was even uglier than crying. "This humble person doesn't have the ability to discover the immortal's trickery, it all depends on this treasure!"

  As they spoke, he opened his palm and revealed a piece of gray cloth wrapped around the copper mirror that had been pinched in his hand.

  Kong Zhan furrowed his brow and this time directly reached out to pull away the gray cloth.

  "Are you kidding me?"

  After the grey cloth was lifted, the man's palm was empty, with nothing in it. Kong Zhuo couldn't help but change color with anger.

  "No, it's not!" The man hastily said, "It's this one!" He pointed at the gray cloth that Kong Zhan was holding.

  "What the...?!" Kong Zhan was stunned, his face flushed bright red. No matter what he said, he was a cultivator and a person of some accomplishment. To say nothing of other things, he should at least be able to recognize treasures. But now, it had actually come into his own hands, yet he couldn't recognize it - this was truly too embarrassing.

  He looked at that man with some embarrassment, and then he brought the gray cloth to his eyes and began to examine it carefully.

  It's gray and dusty, and I don't know how long it hasn't been washed. Only when the eyes are strained can one barely see through the thick dust and oil stains on its surface to reveal some faint floral patterns underneath.

  Flower pattern?

  No, this is not a floral pattern, it's an extremely mysterious and obscure spell!

  Although he couldn't understand what kind of spell it was, Kong Zhuo could judge that the spell on this thing was more mysterious than those extremely profound spells he had learned and studied in Luofu.

  It was this talisman that made Kong Zhuan confirm that the piece of gray cloth was indeed the treasure in the man's mouth, rather than the "magic mirror" he had specially taken out to intimidate people.

  Kong Zhan lightly unfolded the gray cloth, took a deep breath, and no longer paid attention to the man standing beside him with a desperate face, concentrating all his attention on this piece of gray cloth.

  This is certainly not gray cloth, it's a flag.

  Triangle flag

  Kong Zhan looked at the flag again from top to bottom and asked, "How can this thing be so fake?"

  "Hmm, this...!" The big man looked at Kong Zhuo with some embarrassment, thought for a moment, and then said something that made Kong Zhuo smile bitterly.

  This man was a sensible person. After falling into the current situation, he concealed nothing and told everything about him and the flag from start to finish.

  This man's surname is Wu and his name is Youfu. He is the master of Wuliuzhuang in Lingming County, Shangyang Prefecture, not far from here.

  In short, it's just a landlord.

  Wu Liu Zhuang and this flag were passed down from his ancestors, but the flag had always been used as a rag by the people in their family to wrap up miscellaneous items, and was placed in the storage room at home, where no one ever paid attention to it.

  The change happened three years ago.

  Once Wu Youfu went to the storage room to look for other things, he accidentally touched this piece of cloth that he thought was a rag at the time, and at that moment, he felt a warm current flowing out of his body from the cloth.

  He was an extremely intelligent person, and now in this world where evil spirits run rampant, the way of the sword is revered, and magical techniques and treasures are not mere fantasy. So he paid attention to it and took out this tattered cloth for research.

  However, apart from feeling a warm flow at the beginning and making him feel comfortable, it became no different from ordinary rags later on. He studied for a long time but couldn't figure out anything, nor did he dare to ask around randomly. Although he didn't read many books, he understood the principle of "an innocent man is not guilty, but one who holds jade is guilty". So, he kept it in his own hands and didn't let outsiders know about it.

  Another year passed, and during this year, he felt the warmth flowing from the cloth into his body several times. Although it didn't happen often, each time after it did, he could clearly feel that his body had become much stronger than before. So, he kept the cloth in his bosom all along.

  Then one day, suddenly there was a demon invasion of Lingming County.

  In this mortal world, humans and demons coexist. Although humans have their own territories and demons have their own domains, there are some demons that are not yet enlightened and do not follow the rules. They do not know good from bad and do not know life from death, often harassing humans, and in the beginning, it is usually humans who suffer heavy losses.

  Wuyi Village was also in Lingming County and was affected by the monster disturbance, naturally it couldn't escape being drawn into it.

  What to do with mischievous monsters?

  Someone catch the monster!

  Demon catcher is a sideline of cultivators and one of the sources of pocket money.

  It was just that this demon's disturbance was too sudden, so that for a while no one in the nearby area could find a cultivator capable of exorcising it. As a result, all humans in Lingming County began to flee, and Wuyi Village was no exception.

  Unfortunately, Wu Youfu led the villagers of Zhuangzhong to escape from Lingming County, but encountered a monster halfway.
