I Have A Dual World Seal

After collecting more than twenty strands of the Light of Fortune, Lu Zheng quickly arrived at an estate at the foot of a mountain, more than sixty miles away from Wild Wolf Mountain, but closer to Wanfu County.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

"Creak!"

A lean, somewhat sleazy-looking man opened the door, glanced at Lu Zheng impatiently, and waved his hand dismissively, "Go away, go away. The family's out. We don't entertain guests or offer lodging."

"Huang Jing'Er?" Lu Zheng asked aloud.

"Huh?" Huang Jing'Er's eyes moved, and his body instantly retreated.

However, Lu Zheng smiled faintly, formed a Seal Technique with his hands, and in an instant, clouds gathered and dispersed. Huang Jing'Er let out a muffled grunt, then turned to escape.

"Abnormal People!"

"Hmm?" Lu Zheng blinked and nodded, "Your Dao Practice is indeed higher than the two others, no wonder you were sent here."

Huang Jing'Er's pupils contracted, and then he watched as Lu Zheng approached in a flash and slapped him on the shoulder.

With a light thud, Huang Jing'Er fell to the ground, unable to move, his eyes whirling as he looked at Lu Zheng in shock.

Is this Abnormal People coming to Subdue Demons and Exorcise Evil?

Ignoring Huang Jing'Er, who had fallen to one side, Lu Zheng entered the front courtyard and saw an elderly matron leaning on a cane, coming out from the rear courtyard.

"I am of the Huangfu Family. Greetings, young master!" The elderly matron bowed slightly, her expression calm.

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, surprised that this elderly matron could remain so composed.

But just then, two figures suddenly flipped over the wall and darted in, glanced at the fallen Huang Jing'Er, and then knelt in front of Lu Zheng, pleading urgently, "Young master, please listen. Our Huangfu Clan has always been benevolent, often helping the poor with charitable deeds, without any evil deeds. We beg for your mercy!"

"Third brother! Elder brother! Why have you both returned?" The elderly matron exclaimed in shock.

"We're here to rescue mother," said a middle-aged man with a small mustache, then turned to Lu Zheng, "Young master..."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Enough, no need to say more. I know your family's Erlang, Huangfu Xu."

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man was taken aback, but the elderly matron's eyes lit up.

...

"So, that's how it is. Now, of all those at Wild Wolf Mountain, he's the only one left alive." Lu Zheng pointed at Huang Jing'Er not far away, having just recounted how he slew Leng Jian.

And Huang Jing'Er's eyes were pleading with sincerity, making onlookers weep.

Huangfu Ning showed a look of disgust, "This Huang Jing'Er isn't a good person either!"

After mutual introductions, the two who had just climbed in were identified as the elderly matron's third son, named Huangfu Ru, and the other as Huangfu Xu's brother, named Huangfu Ning.

Lu Zheng nodded, "I'll take him away in a while; no need to dirty your estate's ground."

Huang Jing'Er shuddered at once.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Just then, another knock suddenly sounded.

"Hmm?"

"Maybe it's someone looking for lodging. I'll send them away," said Huangfu Ning as he went to open the door.

"Master..."

"Amitabha! I, a poor monk, misplaced my planned lodging in haste and wonder if I might rest at your esteemed estate for one night?"

"Master, save me!"

At that moment, Huang Jing'Er suddenly sprang up and rushed toward the estate gate.

"How bold!"

Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed as he stood up with a slap on the table, leaping into the front courtyard, whereupon a mass of clouds instantly appeared, covering the space in front of Huang Jing'Er.

"Amitabha!"

A Buddha's chant resounded, spreading an invisible ripple that blew away Lu Zheng's cloud.

However, as Huang Jing'Er tried to run, a wooden stick suddenly appeared in front of him, gleaming with golden light, stopping him and sending him back into the courtyard.

"Amitabha!"

After another Buddha's chant, Huangfu Ning quickly retreated to the courtyard.

Then footsteps echoed, and Lu Zheng saw a robust monk clad in a gray robe march in, holding a wooden stick.

"Master Guangyue of Rizhao Temple, greetings to everyone." The monk glanced around and addressed Lu Zheng seriously, "Daoist brother, why do you consort with demons and even aid them?"

Lu Zheng slightly narrowed his eyes, speaking lightly, "But Master also stepped in to save a demon."

"Amitabha, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. Even a demon shouldn't die in vain. Evil demons should be slain, but benign ones can be spared. Having come upon this, I must intervene, to discern right from wrong."

Lu Zheng sneered, implying, "Are you claiming I'm falsely accusing him?"

Guangyue shook his head, looked toward the foxes in the courtyard, and said earnestly, "This poor monk is only worried that you, Daoist brother, might be momentarily deceived by the demon. If we work together, there's less chance of error."

"Master, save me! Master, save me!" Huang Jing'Er repeatedly kowtowed, "I am wronged! I merely had previous hunting conflicts with this fox family in the forest, and they hold a grudge. They used the Fox Girl to seduce this Abnormal Person and brought me to their estate to kill me. If not for the Master, I would be dead by now!"

"Shameless! Nonsense!" Huangfu Ning rebuked angrily, about to argue.

Lu Zheng wasn't angry, simply held back Huangfu Ning, and smiled slightly at Huang Jing'Er.

Huang Jing'Er's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to seek help from the monk, he felt a palm land on the Baihui acupoint atop his head.

"Poof!"

A soft sound, and his head turned into mush, causing Huang Jing'Er to collapse softly on the ground, instantly reverting to his original form.

"Illusion Technique!"

Guangyue came to realize, seeing Lu Zheng appear behind Huang Jing'Er while another Lu Zheng in front slowly faded away.

"Amitabha!"

Guangyue chanted a Buddha phrase, eyes wide open, divine light flickering, seeing through Lu Zheng's Illusion Technique.

Hmm, still the original…

Because Lu Zheng had achieved his goal and dispersed the Illusion Technique.

"Master Guangyue, please be seated." Lu Zheng gestured invitationally as he walked past Guangyue. "The weasel has finished speaking. Now it's my turn."

Guangyue hesitated, realizing Lu Zheng first killed Huang Jing'Er to express his discontent toward him, now willing to explain as a courtesy.

Seeing matters as they stood, he could only hear things out.

"Amitabha! Daoist brother, please!"

...

Moments later.

"Was what the weasel said true?" Guangyue looked solemnly at Lu Zheng, surprisingly inquiring.

Lu Zheng frowned, "I just explained Wild Wolf Mountain to you, didn't I? Did you mishear?"

"Were you truly seduced by the Fox Girl?" Guangyue asked loudly.

Lu Zheng: ⚆_⚆?

"Daoist brother, to achieve such cultivation at a young age is remarkable, but you mustn't be led astray by the Fox Girl!" Guangyue earnestly cautioned.

"Master, this is my personal affair. No need for you to worry." Lu Zheng, bewildered, replied dryly, feeling utterly baffled as the hostility had been unexpectedly diminished by this rather silly remark.

My senior brother doesn't mind me. Why's a monk like you concerned? We're not that close, are we?

"No, that's unacceptable!" Guangyue waved a large hand, "How can I just watch as you fall from grace?"

Lu Zheng was dumbstruck, "I fall from grace?"

"Daoist brother, the ancient saying goes: 'A gentle hometown is a hero's grave.' Among women, Fox Girls are the most alluring, depleting your flesh and consuming your marrow. At best, it halts your cultivation, at worst, it diminishes your Dao Practice!" Guangyue solemnly declared, "Daoist brother, you should sever ties with the Fox Girl sooner rather than later!"

Lu Zheng, flabbergasted, ground his teeth. Who on earth told you this? Just my luck to encounter Fa Hai?

Sadly, I'm not Xu Xian. You can try to argue once you beat me...

Dusk was falling, and as Lu Zheng and Guangyue locked gazes, sparks flying, the Huangfu Family quickly prepared separate guestrooms for Lu Zheng and Guangyue to rest for the night.
