“What does my relationship with Old Liu have to do with you?” Mu Xuan said bluntly.
“It seems like you want to do this the hard way!” Zhang San said coldly. “Don’t beg for mercy later!” In the next moment, a black whip appeared in Zhang San’s hand!
[Whip Sly] !
[Whipping Evil] Species: Tool/Sly Spirit
Level: One Star, Level 5 Quality: Normal
Skill: Pain Whip
Introduction: It was originally a tool used by a certain brothel to train women. Because it was wrapped in too much resentment, it transformed into an evil spirit after the baptism of the evil spirit’s vitality. The more painful the person being whipped was, the happier the person being whipped was!
In the next moment, Zhang San suddenly swung his long whip at Mu Xuan!
Mu Xuan saw the opportunity and instantly attacked, accurately grabbing the whip!
In an instant, the whip demon let out a sobbing cry.
Zhang Sangeng was shocked by Mu Xuan’s actions. In the past, when he whipped others, no one could resist!
Mu Xuan smiled. “Give it to me!”
Immediately, Zhang San felt a huge force coming. His body was uncontrollably pulled over by the other party, and even the long whip in his hand was snatched away by the other party.
“Not good!” Before Zhang San could react, he saw that the long whip had already swung at him…
“Don’t—I’
The intense pain instantly spread throughout his entire body, making Zhang San involuntarily let out a scream.
Mu Xuan felt a sense of joy rise from the bottom of his heart. It was the long whip in his hand!
“Is this a mystic spirit?” Mu Xuan said in surprise. Then, he whipped Zhang
San. “Hehehe, I haven’t felt this way in a long time.”
“Pa, pa, pa, pa…”
“Ahhh—”
Zhang San finally understood the feelings of those people in the past. It was simply too f*cking painful. Boohoo, Mom, I want to go home…
After the whipping, Mu Xuan smiled and said, “Tell me, why did you tie me up here?”
Zhang San said with a trembling voice, “I… I was just ordered to monitor Liu Cheng… That old guy!”
In the intermittent interrogation, Mu Xuan finally understood the cause and effect. To put it simply, Zhang Sangeng originally planned to join the Pure Night Division, but he didn’t pass the trial in the end… Later on, he was ordered by a higher-up of the Pure Night Division to monitor Liu City for a long time as an unofficial night watchman.
Seeing Mu Xuan come out with a smile, she wanted to know what Mu Xuan had obtained from Liu Cheng. That was all.
Mu Xuan looked at Zhang Sangeng under his feet and thought to himself that this guy was lucky to have survived until now. If it were an ordinary level 6 Bizzare Manipulator, he would have long killed this guy.
“As a level 1 Bizzare Manipulator, why didn’t you pass the final trial?” Mu Xuan asked curiously.
Zhang San’s face flushed red. After a long time, he said, “Because my whip is too weak. I can’t even defeat a level 1 warrior.”
‘ Mu Xuan looked at the whip in his hand and agreed. “It’s indeed too weak, but if it’s used in the room to liven things up, it should be a good evil spirit.”
Zhang San: “…”
Mu Xuan was telling the truth. This whip was really too weak. He wouldn’t want it even if it was given to him!
Then, Mu Xuan looked at the whip in his hand and asked about many evil spirits. He learned from Zhang San that controlling evil spirits in this world was also a contract called the Blood Contract.
Through the blood contract, humans let the evil spirits enter their bodies and provide them with food to help the evil spirits grow, while the evil spirits were in charge of exerting strength.
However, unlike the Beast Taming Contract, the blood contract was very fragile. Not only would the blood essence and mental strength be absorbed every time the Bizzare Manipulator was invited to attack, but it might also consume its life force. It might even lose control and go crazy, directly sucking the Bizzare Manipulator dry!
It could be said that the Bizzare Manipulator was not a good profession…
Mu Xuan looked at Zhang Sanzi and said calmly, “Zhang Sanzi, it’s time for us to talk about compensation. 500 taels and this matter will end. What do you think?!”
“5… 500 taels?” Zhang San stared and almost said, “You’d better kill me!”
“Big… Big Brother, I don’t have money…” Zhang San said with a long face. In a godforsaken place like Shangtang Town, he only earned 20 to 30 taels a month. After deducting the labor expenses, it was already not bad for him to have 30 taels a month.
In the end, Mu Xuan received 130 taels of spirit compensation from Zhang Sanzi and left coolly.
As for the whip evil spirit, what was the use of it?!
Taking the 130 taels, Mu Xuan slept happily. The next morning, he hired a carriage and headed to Lin’an City.
Shangtang Town was a full 60 kilometers away from Lin’an City. It was said that there were also bandits and bullies on the way. It was only because Mu Xuan was skilled and bold that he dared to go to Lin’an City alone.
“Damn, what kind of weather is this?!” Mu Xuan was very angry. Along the way, he didn’t encounter the rumored bandits and bullies, but he encountered bad weather. The abnormally sudden rain forced him to find a dilapidated temple to stay in.
However, this rain seemed to have a grudge against him. It actually rained for an entire afternoon, completely ruining his plan to reach Lin’an City before dark.
“Boss, it’s too dangerous for us to stay in a dilapidated temple on a desolate mountain!” The coachman said with a trembling expression. As a native of Shangtang Town, he had naturally heard of all kinds of strange incidents. Among them was a big case where a group of people went missing overnight in the desolate mountains!
The dilapidated temple was very dilapidated and had not been maintained for a long time. Even the Buddha statue had already collapsed. The gloomy environment made the coachman even more afraid.
“Don’t be afraid. I can deal with this situation!” Mu Xuan said. With that said,
he had already built a fire to dispel the gloom of the dilapidated temple, making the coachman’s terrified expression finally ease.
There were no evil spirits in the dilapidated temple, but in the wilderness, where the essence of evil spirits gathered, it was very easy for evil spirits to be born.
Just as night was about to fall, the door of the dilapidated temple creaked. A young girl walked in under the protection of a maid and an old butler. When she saw Mu Xuan and the coachman, she immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
“I didn’t expect there to be someone else. That’s great!”
The old butler revealed a vigilant expression. “I’ll stay with my young lady for the night. Please do me a favor!”
Mu Xuan waved his hand and said, “Make yourself at home. I’m also a guest!”
With that said, Mu Xuan’s gaze had already swept past the three of them without a trace. He saw the background of the three of them. They were all ordinary people and were nothing to worry about.
The real danger should be at night!
Mu Xuan could sense that there seemed to be danger hidden outside the dilapidated temple. This was the extraordinary intuition of a god!
In the gloomy dilapidated temple, the five of them surrounded the fire to warm themselves and did not speak,
Suddenly, Miss An Ruo smiled and said, “Xiao Ning, those books say that there’s definitely danger in a deserted mountain and dilapidated temple. Looks like those literati authors made it up!”
Before the maidservant Xiao Ning could answer, Butler Zhang hurriedly replied, “Miss, you can’t say that. You might attract those things!”
The maid, Xiao Ning, also hurriedly said, “Miss, this can’t be a joke. My father was once… was…”
With that said, she looked at the collapsed Buddha statue and thought of something. Her predecessor came to the Buddha statue and said, “Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, my Miss didn’t mean to offend you. Please bless Miss to be safe and sound!”
Mu Xuan shook his head secretly and thought to himself that this young lady was like a sparrow in the deep palace. She didn’t know the dangers of the world and would encounter a calamity sooner or later.
He was about to tease the maid, Xiao Ning, when he suddenly sensed a strange aura forming!
Not long after, Mu Xuan was shocked to see that an information panel was forming on the Buddha statue!
It was an evil spirit!
A legendary-level evil spirit!
