Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 34 - : Re-encountering the Women of the Red House

On this day, Duan Yun arrived at Fenglin Town.

Upon reaching this place, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

According to the information he gathered, from Fenglin Town, heading straight east, it would only take a day's walk to reach Wangchun City.

This place could already be considered the outskirts of Wangchun City.

In fact, he had sensed the aura of Wangchun City two days ago.

It can only be said that the closer one gets to Wangchun City, the higher the prices become; the day before, ten copper coins could buy two baked buns, but now they could only buy one.

After such a long journey, he was finally about to arrive.

In Fenglin Town, both inside and outside the town, tall maple trees were planted. In this season, they brought waves of cool shade.

Duan Yun even felt that the whole town was somewhat eerie.

At this moment, he noticed several Martial World individuals standing in front of a wall plastered with papers, chatting away.

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

He knew at a glance that it was a bounty wall.

Thinking of the ever-rising prices, Duan Yun wanted to earn some silver, so he approached.

Fenglin Town was just a small place, and there weren't many bounty posters, but as soon as Duan Yun came close, his spirits lifted.

This was due to a few key terms that spilled out of the mouths of those Martial World individuals—"Lu family, Red Building Fairy, bounty."

Duan Yun looked at the wall and realized that it actually aligned with his expertise.

It turned out that the town's Lu family had been persecuted by the Red Building Fairy, several of the men inside had been violated to death, but that fairy still refused to spare them, hence the bounty was posted.

"Brother Li, are you going? Mr. Lu is sure to be generous."

"But that's the Red Building Fairy. Aren't you afraid of being violated to death?"

"Who have I ever feared when it comes to competing in violation?"

"Besides, it's said that the Lu family has invited the high monks from Tieshui Temple, we're just going to scrounge a meal."

"Brother Wang is right, after all, it's just going to lend a hand."

For these wandering Martial World people, lending a hand is one of their main sources of income.

At this point, that Brother Li hesitated and said, "Lend a hand? Have you heard about the incident in Yellow Water City? There's a Demon causing chaos, nowadays even lending a hand is risky."

"If we don't lend a hand, then what kind of Martial World life are we leading? I've been strapped for cash lately, if you're not going, I'm not!"

While those several people were still discussing whether to go or not, Duan Yun had already memorized the address and left before them.

He already had a grudge against the Red Building Fairy, so for a matter that could both settle a score and receive compensation while Acting for Heaven, why wait?

This was simply tailor-made for Young Hero Duan!

Although along the way, his reputation as Demon Duan had been sensational, the name of Young Hero Duan had barely made the rounds, but he knew this was temporary, a misunderstanding by others.

As long as he conducted this righteous deed well, impressively, truly making a hero's name for himself as Hua Wu did, naturally no one would misunderstand him anymore.

...

The Lu Mansion had a profound courtyard, and at this moment, the slanting setting sun added a touch of profundity to it.

Under the lead of Housekeeper Lu, Duan Yun made his way to the main hall.

Upon arriving at the hall, he found that there were quite a few Martial World peers there.

Although they were all peers, peers were still ranked.

Sitting in the chief seat of the hall was a monk, bare-chested.

The monk's body was embroidered with three huge Azure Dragons, two of which had their right eyes located at the chest's two protrusions, making them look like cyclopes, giving off a fierce and evil aura.

What an imposing monk!

This must be the high monk from Tieshui Temple as rumored, indeed looking formidable.

Beside the main seat were a male and a female Taoist, both carrying swords, looking to be a Daoist couple, and there was also a large man with iron gauntlets on his hands as black as coal.

At a glance, these were all prominent figures, while Duan Yun could only stand at the back with a group of peers, mingling with the family servants.

Just great, standing around like a lackey again.

Duan Yun didn't mind, as long as he could kill the Red House Mad Woman and get the reward, anything he did was just part of the job.

"Can such a person really make a living?" someone whispered.

Even though he was just standing there like a foot soldier, wielding a cheap iron sword, Duan Yun was still looked down upon by certain peers.

He wasn't angry, after all, these martial artists weren't renowned for their intelligence.

Although Housekeeper Lu was polite, he didn't introduce him and just had him stand with the Lu Mansion's other enforcers, clearly not expecting much, merely seeing him as an extra headcount.

There was no helping it; he was young and handsome, not like those odd-looking experts, and exuded an aura of someone just trying to get by.

At that moment, a young man came over and said, "Brother, are you here to scrape a living too?"

The young man had fair skin, a handsome face, and like Duan Yun, radiated an air of muddling along for survival.

Duan Yun raised an eyebrow and replied, "Something like that."

"Stay back when the time comes. See that big monk? The high monk from Tieshui Temple, known as the 'One-eyed Green Dragon,' he doesn't know when to stop once he starts killing, and might even hit one of our own in his frenzy," the young man said quietly.

His voice was so low, if not for Duan Yun's good hearing, he might have mistaken it for a mosquito buzzing.

"If he even hits his own people, why call him 'One-eyed'? Isn't that just blind?" Duan Yun couldn't help but retort sarcastically.

He didn't have a good impression of monks to begin with, and from what was said, although this One-eyed Green Dragon Monk wasn't some demonic monk from Dusk Temple, he still didn't seem like an easy opponent.

Hearing his comment, those nearby retreated a few steps, fearing they would invite trouble.

The young man also became nervous and covertly glanced over at the big monk before relaxing slightly after seeing him still meditating with eyes closed.

"Brother, you sure dare to speak."

Saying so, he also distanced himself a bit from Duan Yun.

Because he realized that not only was Duan Yun filled with the air of someone scraping by, but he also exuded a vibe of bringing trouble upon himself.

It was then that the male Taoist had a sip of tea and said, "Master, it's almost dark."

The big monk opened his eyes and said, "What, you stinky Taoist are scared?"

The middle-aged Taoist laughed and said, "Scared of what?"

"You lot of stinky Taoists just know how to pretend. Why don't you and your wife lead the charge later?" the big monk said mockingly.

With that, the Taoist fell silent.

The big monk didn't give him any face and continued to taunt, "You don't dare? If you don't dare, how are you any different from those fools who are just here for a meal?"

Duan Yun looked over at the group labeled as "fools" and thought the big monk was very "polite"!

He was interested to see what skills this monk possessed; if the monk turned out to be less capable than himself, he wanted to teach him some "physics" for that mouth.

On the way here, Duan Yun had gotten a rough idea of the Red House Mad Woman's modus operandi.

Mr. Lu, old and lustful, had married a Red House Mad Woman pretending to be young. As a result, the Mad Woman not only cuckolded him but also killed his two sons and two bodyguards.

During the act, she didn't just drain their Yang Qi but could even consume their flesh and blood.

The Mad Woman even declared she wanted to be with all the males in Mr. Lu's family forever, just as she had consumed their flesh, never to part.

The Mad Woman came to the mansion every night to seek her prey, and tonight was the fifth night. If not for the high monk from Tieshui Temple taking the lead, there wouldn't be many willing to come for a meal.

After all, the Red Building Fairy was the nightmare of many men.

...

Night had fallen, with a thin crescent moon hanging in the sky, its light frosty.

The great hall of the Lu Mansion was surrounded by lanterns, as if, in the hearts of people, a plethora of lanterns could frighten away the Red Building Fairy.

"Dammit, bullies the weak and fears the strong. Lord Buddha is here, and that mad woman dares not to show up."

The big monk took a sip of tea, spat it out, and a few tea leaves flew onto the face of the female Taoist sitting next to him.

Duan Yun saw it clearly; the female Taoist wore a shocked and disgusted expression but dared not say anything.

She looked towards her Daoist couple brother; the middle-aged Taoist had a pained expression but didn't dare do anything, simply silently holding the female Taoist's hand, signaling her to endure.

Just then, a cold wind blew through, causing the lanterns outside and the candles inside the hall to flicker violently, as if they might go out at any moment.

"Here she comes! She's coming!"

Suddenly, a servant outside screamed in panic, tumbling and scrambling towards inside the hall.
