Chapter 060 The Enchantress
Seeing the restaurant owner's panicked state, Du Zizhan, who was sitting at the head of the table, spoke up: "Brother Ye, Brother Bai is right. The poisoning has nothing to do with the restaurant owner. Why should Brother Ye make things difficult for him?"
His gaze was intense as he looked up and said, "You heretics think you can deal with us righteous people with your little tricks of poison? You underestimate us too much. Now that you're here, why don't you show yourselves and meet us!"
No sooner had Du Zizhan finished speaking than a laugh rang out: "As expected of Du Zizhan, the man of the Azure Sky and the Blood of Loyalty, ranked seventh on the Wind and Cloud Ranking. He was actually able to sense our presence."
As they spoke, a dozen or so people jumped down from the rooftop. Each of them was dressed differently, but they all exuded an eerie aura.
"The Extinction Dao Sect, the Great Zen Asura Temple, the Blood Slaughter Gate, and the White Lotus Sect—four of the Eight Evil Paths have arrived at once." Du Zizhan sized up these people and said coldly, "You heretics dare to show yourselves here? You have no respect for us righteous people!"
"Heh heh, Young Master Du. Your Southern Tang martial arts world wants to unite and annihilate us. Are we just going to surrender without a fight?" One of them sneered sinisterly. "Today's banquet is our welcome feast for you! You'll get what's coming to you!"
Another person chimed in, "Consider this a small gift from us to you all. We advise you to head home as soon as possible. Otherwise, there are more surprises waiting for you later!"
As they spoke, the group burst into laughter and leaped off the ground, preparing to disperse.
These heretics' purpose was merely to probe the strength of the righteous path. The righteous people present were not to be trifled with; they were far from sufficient to eliminate these heretics.
"Now that you're here, leaving won't be so easy!" Du Zizhan, abandoning his previous gentlemanly demeanor, instantly unleashed a fierce killing intent, a long sword suddenly appearing in his hand: "Leave them all here!"
"The boundless falling leaves rustle down, the endless river rolls on!" In an instant, the entire restaurant was filled with Du Zizhan's sword energy. With the flashing sword light, even the righteous people present mobilized their true energy to protect themselves.
The Du family's Mountain and River Sword Manual, in Du Zizhan's hands, was completely different from the way Du Ziming used it back then.
"The Mountain and River Sword Manual! This guy has actually reached this level!" someone exclaimed. "This person cannot be dealt with by one person alone. Everyone, let's join forces to fight him!"
The scattered members of the evil sect instantly regrouped and used all their skills to resist Du Zizhan's sword strike.
These dozen or so unorthodox individuals were also experts in the Acupoint Realm, most of them even being listed on the Ranks of Heroes. It was only through the combined strength of these ten or so that they barely managed to block Du Zizhan's sword strike.
"Pfft!" The dozen or so members of the heretical sect all coughed up blood. Du Zizhan's sword had actually injured these dozen or so people who had joined forces, but the sword light that filled the sky had also disappeared.
"As expected of an eight-aperture master, Du Zizhan of the Azure Sky and Blood Sect, you are indeed formidable!" One of them wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled sinisterly, "However, with your abilities, you think you can wipe out my Eight Evil Sects? That's just wishful thinking! Hehe, Young Master Du, my young sect leader has also come to Jiangxia County this time. He asked me to tell you that the last battle ended in a draw, and this time he wants to learn a few moves from Young Master Du!"
"What, that guy is here too?" Du Zizhan was slightly taken aback, clearly he was quite wary of the person the other party was talking about.
"Retreat!" Just as Du Zizhan was slightly stunned, more than a dozen evil martial arts experts scattered like birds and beasts and rushed out of the restaurant.
"Hmph, since I said I was going to keep you here, none of you will escape!" Du Zizhan snapped out of his daze, snorted coldly, and instantly rushed out of the restaurant. Du Ziming and the Jiangxia County Magistrate followed behind Du Zizhan, rushing out of the restaurant as well.
"Hmph, coming and going as you please. You heretics think too highly of yourselves!" Bai Shiyi sneered, and the two from the Peerless Sword Sect also chased after him.
"Bai Shiyi, we are both disciples of the Four Great Sword Sects, let's have a contest to see whose sword is more effective at slaying demons!" Ye Fei, not to be outdone, followed closely behind with Ye Kai.
"Damn it! I was having a nice drink, and you bastards made me drink all the time without eating a single bite!" Zhong Lijiang slammed his wine glass on the table. "Xiao Fu, come with me and teach these bastards a lesson!"
"Amitabha! It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. Xu Hui, follow your senior brother to subdue the demons!" The two monks vanished from the restaurant in a flash.
In an instant, everyone in the restaurant chased after the fleeing demons, leaving only Lin Fei and Yuan Daotong behind.
"Brother, let's go too, and teach these evil heretics a lesson!" Yuan Daotong's "little pageboy" Yuan Qing clenched his fists, his face flushed, looking very excited.
Yuan Daotong, however, seemed somewhat uninterested, and even stretched: "With Brother Zizhan personally taking action, those guys won't get far, so we don't need to waste our energy. Let's just wait here for everyone's good news!"
Yuan Qing pouted in dissatisfaction: "Brother, you're always so unmotivated. Let's not do anything this time, and wait until we get back to see how Father will deal with you!"
"You little rascal... I told you to study hard, all you do is slack off all day." Yuan Daotong raised his hand and flicked Yuan Qing's forehead with a flick: "Who said that staying here means we're not doing anything?"
He gestured towards Lin Fei and the other person with his lip: "Didn't you see the two Taoist priests still sitting there as steady as Mount Tai?"
Yuan Daotong looked at Lin Fei and the other man with a smile: "You two Daoist masters, this is a great opportunity to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, and greatly enhance your reputation. Why don't you two Daoist masters go and join in the fun?"
In fact, Mingci wanted to chase after him immediately, but Lin Fei secretly stopped her. Mingci didn't know why. When Yuan Daotong asked, she could only look at Lin Fei.
"Brother Yuan, are you testing me?" Lin Fei stood up without hesitation, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the restaurant owner who was slumped on the ground: "Why should we bother chasing after him? Isn't the real culprit right here?"
The restaurant owner was startled and forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Master, what are you saying? I have absolutely no connection with those evil spirits! I've been running this restaurant in Lujiang Town since my grandfather's generation. Please don't wrong me, Master!"
"Hmph, still being stubborn?" Lin Fei smiled contemptuously, then suddenly raised his hand and struck the restaurant owner with a palm strike from a distance.
With a loud bang, Lin Fei punched a large hole in the floor, and the restaurant owner, who had been lying on the ground, stunned, suddenly flipped over like a rabbit and jumped a long way away.
"Young Taoist priest, you really hit hard! If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I would probably have died from your palm strike!" The lewd-looking restaurant owner suddenly covered his mouth and giggled. His voice was like a silver bell, and his lewd appearance exuded an incomparably seductive charm.
