Chapter 65: Chapter 64 Green-clothed Evil Ghost

Red Candle Town, a small town located along the Mo River in Shanyang County.

When night fell, Red Candle Town was ablaze with lights, and the sounds of gongs and drums filled the air.

On the left bank of the Mo River, there was a crowd dressed in green, all followers of the Green Robe Association, while on the right bank, a group of strong men from the River God Gang were gathered.

Ning Daoran and two others disguised themselves as ordinary citizens and mingled in with the crowd of the Green Robe Association.

“Junior Brother…”

Lin Sheng hesitated a bit, “This place is an outpost of the Green Robe Association. These followers of the Green-clothed Lady have long been blinded. Let’s not cause any trouble.”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother!”

Ning Daoran was somewhat speechless.

After the expedition to the Secret Realm, the previously courageous and diligent Lin Sheng had become cautious, which was not his usual style.

“Senior Brother.”

Dressed as a peasant girl, Han Bing, although clothed in coarse fabric, couldn’t hide her beauty, “When do we make our move? The Branch Leader should appear soon.”

“No rush.”

Ning Daoran said, “I heard that tonight is the day the Green Robe Association and the River God Gang are to fight a duel on the river. After their duel, we’ll follow the Branch Leader and take him out when he’s alone.”

“Got it!”

Han Bing’s eyes sparkled, trusting in her senior brother’s judgment.

Lin Sheng nodded repeatedly.

…

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Amid the sounds of gongs and drums, a middle-aged man dressed in a green long shirt and wearing a White Jade Crown took the stage and said in a deep voice:

“Today, our Green Robe Association will settle a score with the River God Gang on this river. Regardless of the outcome, we must not tarnish the majesty of the Green-clothed Lady!”

Immediately, the dense crowd of followers started raising their arms as if performing some ritual, continuously shouting:

“Ghost Path Correction Method, Green Robes cleanse the mortal realm!”

“Ghost Path Correction Method, Green Robes cleanse the mortal realm!”

“Ghost Path Correction Method, Green Robes cleanse the mortal realm!”

The crowd shouted until they were red in the face and visibly exhilarated.

On the opposite bank, the River God Gang was also gearing up, with a Hall Master raising his palm, causing the drums to beat loudly.

Both sides sent out more than a dozen boats, setting up a platform in the middle of the Mo River, and each sent some people to prepare for the Fight Technique.

The first battle.

The River God Gang sent out a lean man who, muttering words, swiftly grew back a new arm after slicing off his own—a sight that amazed the onlookers.

The Green Robe Association, not to be outdone, sent a woman onto the stage who, with a Golden Needle, peeled off a layer of her own skin and shakily walked two rounds before putting it back on.

“What a Tailor…”

The Hall Master of the River God Gang blushed, “We, the River God Gang, concede this round.”

“Senior Brother, is it really that amazing?” Han Bing was dumbfounded.

Ning Daoran, however, had been probing with his Divine Sense all along and shook his head, “These are all trivial Jianghu Illusion Techniques.”

“I see…”

The second battle.

The Green Robe Association heated a large pot of oil until boiling and then sent a skinny man to bathe and change clothes in that scalding oil, looking completely at ease.

The people of the River God Gang were shocked, and their Hall Master turned pale.

Although they sent someone who could walk despite having a spear thrust through his abdomen, they clearly lost another round.

“After three rounds, you’ve already lost two, what more is there to say?”

The Green Robe Association Branch Leader said with a fierce glare, “From today onwards, Red Candle Town is under our control, the River God Gang should no longer interfere in these matters!”

“Xu the Third, you’re ruthless!”

The Hall Master of the River God Gang left in anger.

Suddenly, the crowd watching along the riverbanks loudly shouted the name of the Green Robe Association, with many declaring on the spot their intention to join, shouting “Ghost Path Correction Method, Green Robes cleanse the mortal realm.”

Indeed, there was no real order in the Cultivation World.

“Let’s go.”

Ning Daoran frowned, “Follow the Branch Leader, and watch for my signal on what to do next!”

“Let’s go!”

Lin Sheng nodded, and the two, along with their Junior Sister, disappeared into the night.

…

Inside a large courtyard in Red Candle Town.

The Green Robe Association Branch Leader returned with a group of core followers, then dismissed them and entered a room by himself, taking a cup of tea from a Maid and sipping it continuously.

Ning Daoran floated out from atop a wall.

This courtyard was set with a First-tier Lower Grade Array, and Ning Daoran continuously cast spells, causing ripples to spread, breaking the array directly.@@novelbin@@

“Who’s there?!”

The Branch Leader came out, his gaze fierce, “Who could break my Array?”

“We’ve come to take your life!”

Lin Sheng immediately drew his sword, the power of the True Yang Furnace Technique surging through him, finally regaining some of his old prowess.

“In your dreams!”

The Branch Leader lightly stood up, patting a large crimson drum behind him, and said gravely, “Come out, welcome our guests tonight!”

Suddenly, a cold wind arose, sending shivers down the spine, and from that drum floated out a blood-red figure, shockingly an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Evil Spirit.

“Junior Brother, let me handle this.”

Lin Sheng charged forward, his body pulsing with the power of the True Yang Furnace Technique.

He mainly practiced Pure Yang, naturally able to suppress Evil Spirits, so even as a Qi Refining Ninth Level, facing such an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Evil Spirit might not necessarily put him at a disadvantage.

Amid a chilling roar, Lin Sheng and the red-clothed Evil Ghost smashed through a wall and battled into another courtyard.

True Yang Intense Flames clashed with the sinister ghostly aura, leaving the followers of the Green Robe Association dumbfounded, daring not to intervene, and could only watch from afar.

“Sister, go help Senior Brother Lin, leave this place to me and Old Lu,” said Ning Daoran.

“Got it, Senior Brother!”

Han Bing floated off, her sword radiating Sword Intent, her strength seemingly even greater than Lin Sheng’s.
