I am the only devil in the whole world of cultivation

Chapter 76 Return to Jade City

When the three of them escorted the Crying Mountain Ghost back to Yujing City, it was already twilight all around.

Because of the incident about the ghosts in Wailing Mountain, the originally lively night in Yujing City became lonely.There were no stalls open on the streets that used to be crowded with people. Not long ago, there was a long queue to enter the city, but now there are only a few guards standing here and there.

When Xie Zhengliu and the others entered the city, a guard suddenly glanced at them, and then hurriedly came to greet them: "Are they the fellow Taoists who helped rescue the monks in our city yesterday?"

His words went around in Zhuang Youqian's head before the three of them reacted.

"It's us. How are the dozen fellow Taoists who were captured by the Crying Mountain Ghost now?" Because the situation was really bad at that time, Zhuang Youqian and the others were unable to escort those monks back.

However, there are many people with high cultivation among those dozen people, so nothing will happen to them.

Just when Yue Mingchou and Zhuang Youqian were worried, the guard seemed to see what they were thinking and immediately explained: "Don't worry, everyone, they have all returned safely and have now reunited with their relatives and friends. I wish I could wait for a few Taoist friends to come back and come to thank me in person."

The three people waved their hands quickly, indicating that they only did something small, so that they didn't need to be so polite.

The guard did not bother with them on this matter, but said: "The benevolent deeds of several fellow Taoists have reached the ears of our city lord. The city lord has previously told us that if they come back, we must go and give them to them." Report. I wonder if the three of you are free now, why don’t you go to the City Lord’s Mansion with us to meet the City Lord?”

"It just so happens that the Buddhist cultivator who was traveling with us has captured the Crying Mountain Ghost. We came back this time to hand over the Crying Mountain Ghost to the city lord." Xie Zhengliu and the other two people looked at each other and simply agreed. accepted the guard's request.

The city gate was not far from the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention that there were guards who specially summoned flying magic weapons, and the four of them appeared in front of the City Lord's Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Liu Yuansu, who had received the news from his subordinates, had been waiting in front of the mansion early. When he saw the three people escorting the Crying Mountain Ghost back, he took three steps at a time to greet them.

When he saw the appearance of the three of them clearly, Liu Yuansu's eyes became even more surprised: "It turns out that you three have saved so many monks. It seems that you three are really destined to our Yujing City!"

"The city lord is too polite. We just got the glory of Buddha Xuan Shu. It was Buddha who attracted the attention of two gangsters and gave us the chance to save people." Xie Zhengliu truthfully informed Liu Yuansu of the situation at that time. There is no intention to actively claim credit.

In fact, Liu Yuansu also learned about the situation at that time from the monks who escaped, but he did not agree with Xie Zhengliu's words: "Of course I know that Master Xuan Shu made a lot of contributions this time, but it is precisely because there are three of them here. Only a Buddhist can attract the attention of two villains without any worries."

"The three of them saved so many monks in our Jade City and escorted back the Crying Mountain Ghost. Such a great kindness cannot be wiped away with just a few words."

The other party talked about it for this reason, and Xie Zhengliu didn't shirk it anymore.

Originally, Liu Yuansu wanted to ask for more details, but because it was getting late and the three of them had been running hard outside for a long time, Liu Yuansu did not waste their time anymore.

He ordered the guards to imprison the Crying Mountain Ghost into the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, and also specifically asked them to set up several formations in the dungeon to prevent the Crying Mountain Ghost from escaping after waking up.

When Xie Zhengliu and the others saw that nothing happened to him, they said goodbye and left.

They returned to the inn where they stayed before. Fortunately, the innkeeper was a nice person. Although the three of them disappeared for no reason for a day and a night, he didn't ask any questions.

Seeing that they finally came back, the boss hurriedly stopped the three of them before they went upstairs: "The three of you have not been here from last night to this morning. The immortal who lives opposite the female immortal even specially looked for you. He really couldn't find anyone, so he left on his own. But before he left, he left a storage bag for the three of them, and also extended the room payment for the three of them for one night, saying that it was the reward of the three of them for rescuing him."

The boss presented a dusty storage bag, with no trace of the spiritual power restriction on it being opened.Xie Zhengliu frowned and took it: "I wonder if that person had anything else to say before he left?"

The boss shook his head: "The immortal master looked very anxious. He only said that he would come back to find the three of them after he finished handling his trivial matters."

Although I don't know what is in the storage bag, I don't know why Bu Zhiyi did this.But Xie Zhengliu and the others thanked their boss, then turned and went upstairs.

They did not rush back to their house, but followed Xie Zhengliu into her room.

After the three of them sat down, Xie Zhengliu released the restraint and poured out the contents of the storage bag.

The sound of crashing echoed in the house along with the sound of falling spiritual stones. By the time the three of them reacted, they were almost buried by the glittering spiritual stones on the ground.

Xie Zhengliu didn't dare to fall down anymore. She quickly put all the spirit stones back in the storage bag, and then her consciousness swept away, and she was stunned.

Not only her, but Yue Mingqiu and Zhuang Youqian on the side also scanned the storage bag with their spiritual consciousness. The huge number that popped up in their heads shocked the three of them deeply.

"Lao Yue, pinch me and let me see if I am dreaming!"

Yue Mingchou obediently gave Zhuang You a blow, and heard his screams as he wished.

After being slapped with each other like this, the three of them gradually calmed down.

They sat around the table, looking at the storage bags in front of them with mixed emotions.

"One hundred thousand mid-grade spiritual stones, this is one hundred thousand mid-grade spiritual stones! Didn't that man say that he is a casual cultivator? Are casual cultivators so rich now?" Zhuang Youqian, who loves money as much as his life, came here Said it was a huge temptation, "I have begun to regret my previous attitude towards him."

Yue Mingchou nodded in agreement.

Not to mention Zhuang Youyi, even Xie Zhengliu, who had always felt that Bu Zhiyi had evil intentions, felt a little regretful.

"It's okay." She comforted, "Didn't Bu Zhiyi say that he would come to us again later? When he appears again, we must be more enthusiastic and friendly to him. You must remember that we are not facing a human being. A simple casual cultivator, he is obviously a big treasure with a golden mountain in his heart!"

A person who can easily give away a hundred thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, no matter how bad he is, how bad can he be?

At this moment, Bu Zhiyi, also known as Shen Zhuoyu, who has been recognized by the three people as a good guy, is on his way to chase Xuan Shu.

Until the moon is in the middle of the sky, the night wind is blowing.

Xuan Shu, who was walking on the wasteland, finally stopped and looked at the darkness behind him: "My friends who followed me, don't you want to show up now?"

After his words fell, a dark figure finally appeared slowly.
