Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Still the Same Bad to the Bone_1

In the eastern part of the city, Li Xuan, who initially thought he would soon be entering a coffin, discovered that he had actually resisted the oppression of Demoness Zidie’s consciousness.

At this moment, the land between him and Demoness Zidie was constantly splitting, revealing profound cracks. Frost and purple flames confronted each other above this fracture, with a distinct demarcation line between them that was spreading towards the surrounding buildings.

But Li Xuan couldn’t feel happy about this. It is one thing to resist this pressure, but real combat is another matter.

Moreover, Li Xuan was feeling the icy sensation spreading from his chest again.

This is also life-threatening! The only difference is one is a deferred sentence, and the other is immediate execution.

What’s more miserable is Li Dalu and the group of terrified laborers. The latter had already fainted one by one, whereas the former was covered in frost and struggling severely against the Cold Power’s invasion.

He was only a few years older than Li Xuan, yet he had a four-story realm cultivation. Apart from serving as the original’s attendant, he was also the latter’s bodyguard, a gold medal fighter.

But at this moment, as the cold dissipated from the red-clothed female ghost, Li Dalu was struggling extremely hard to resist it.

“The Frozen Cold? It seems I underestimated you,”

Demoness Zidie stared at the thin ice in front of Li Xuan with an extremely solemn expression, then laughed coldly, “Weren’t you going to catch me? Why aren’t you making a move?”

Li Xuan was secretly puzzled; this seems questionable. Why isn’t this demoness making a move?

He soon realized something, looking around at the surrounding residences. Was this woman worried about losing control and causing collateral damage to innocent bystanders if they start a fight?

Li Xuan thought there might be a chance. His anxiety subsided and he sighed without showing any changes in his expression, “I said before, it’s just a coincidence. If I wanted to catch you, I wouldn’t choose this place, and I wouldn’t come with just one person.”

Demoness Zidie was slightly taken aback, then her eyes showed hesitation. Was it possible that she was mistaken this whole time? Why would this man continually block her path? Was he showing off his ability to anticipate her moves?

“If you’re not here to block me, what are you doing here?”

“Like you, I’m here to deliver something.” Li Xuan pointed to the sack on Li Dalu’s body. “You should have seen my family’s carriage outside the alley.”

Just then, the door of the thatched cottage in the distance suddenly opened. Yuaner, a little girl from Granny Li’s house, ran out hurriedly with a money bag in her hand. “Young master, your accompanying brother dropped his wallet,” she said.

At that moment, both Zidie and Li Xuan changed their expressions. The former quickly retracted her purple flames, but Li Xuan couldn’t think of what to do. However, at that moment, he saw a blood-red ribbon swing out, wrapping up the unconscious little girl, and sending her to a safe distance.

Upon seeing this, Zidie’s expression relaxed a little, but then her pupils constricted and more surprise appeared in her eyes. “Being able to use levitation to this extent, you surely aren’t simple,” she commented.

She then sneered, “So this is what it’s about, you were buying time for reinforcements from the Liudao Division? Unfortunately, your observation skills are lacking. I won’t let you have this opportunity!”

Li Xuan was still perplexed and confused. All of a sudden, Zidie’s figure turned into thousands of butterflies and scattered. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

Did she just run away?

Li Xuan looked around, but couldn’t find any trace of Zidie.

At this moment, Li Dalu finally responded. His teeth chattered and he pointed trembling, “Was that… was that Demoness Zidie?”

“Yes.”

Li Xuan appeared calm, but he was actually in a post-traumatic state of weak legs. He made a great effort to maintain his composure, “That’s the Zidie who you said doesn’t have a clue.”

Li Dalu turned pale, thinking they were in a terrible situation. Making bad comments behind someone’s back and being overheard by them was one thing; the problem was that the person was an advanced practitioner, ranked seventh on the blacklist of the Liudao Division.

“Why did she suddenly leave? And who was confronting her just now?”

Li Dalu had been entirely focused on resisting the cold power and the two strong intentions just now, and he hadn’t been able to pay any attention to the surroundings.

Despite enduring it, he still felt as though his entire body were frozen, incapacitated for now.

“How should I know?”

Li Xuan answered, slightly irritated. He too was baffled as to why the Demoness Zidie had suddenly left.

Allegedly, he lacked observation power. Could it be the same as before, where her actual body had already left, leaving only an illusionary double behind?

He couldn’t worry about that anymore. He immediately unbuttoned his clothes and looked at his chest. The ghastly green patch had expanded to the size of a hand. The talisman bestowed by Master Chenghuang also lost much of its glow.

As he was stressing about this, a familiar figure suddenly came into his vision.

“Li Xuan, what are you doing here?”

Li Xuan was surprised, raising his eyebrows: “Uncle Qiu?”

In front of him was Qiu Qianqiu, clad in a fiery red cloak and donning a farmer hat.

Li Xuan finally understood why Zidie ran away; a high ranking member from Liudao Division was here.

“The spirit detector had sensed the presence of Demoness Zidie around here.” Qiu Qianqiu looked around confusedly before asking Li Xuan: “Since you are here, you must have seen her, right?”

“Yes, I did. About twenty moments ago, she was here.”

Li Xuan replied truthfully. Then he pointed at a group of unconscious men: “Just now, that demoness arrived with these men.”

Qiu Qianqiu didn’t show any care towards the unconscious men. He didn’t ask where Zidie escaped to either. He asked again: “Have you seen any ghostly spirits nearby?”

Li Xuan felt a slight tightening in his chest; his face showed confusion and he asked: “Earlier, Demoness Zidie was confronting someone. Was that a ghostly spirit?”

He was immensely thankful for his award-winning acting skills at this very moment.

Among the people present there, including a young girl named Yuaner, the majority were unconscious. The only one left, Li Dalu, seemed confused as well.

※※※※

This thrilling episode delayed Li Xuan for at least half an hour. Afterwards, numerous people from Liudao Division came to question him.

As the only eyewitness, Li Xuan was questioned repeatedly.

He didn’t escape without slip-ups, especially with the hard-to-explain signs at the scene. Those unconscious men fainted after he met with Zidie.

But the woman in the red dress had an extraordinary Jianzhi Barrier. The higher-ups had never suspected him. For any questions from his colleagues, Li Xuan pushed the blame onto not knowing, saying he was nearly unconscious due to Zidie’s Divine Consciousness.

As for why there weren’t any abnormalities on his body – the fact that he carried the Kuiniu luminous armor, justified it all.

Half an hour later, Li Xuan and the others were finally let go to continue their city-warming activities. Yet Li Dalu, who was nearby, kept looking at Li Xuan with doubtful eyes.

Li Xuan ignored him, until Li Dalu hesitated to say something numerous times. This made Li Xuan look glower at him.

“Shut up! Don’t ask! Moreover, if you dare to leak a word about today, I’ll coax my mom to marry Tao off to someone else.”

Tao was a maid in Mrs. Liu’s house, very beautiful and charming, of whom, Li Dalu was extremely fond.

Indeed, Li Dalu turned pale, and from then, he remained silent and obedient.

He deeply realized that although his young master seemed to have become a completely different person these days, at his core he was as bad as ever.
