Chapter 257.

Ta-da.

The door of the small courtyard was knocked gently, in a polite rhythm.

Wang Dust, who was preparing to start dinner in the inner room, heard it and went out to open the door.

It was unknown which neighbor had come to visit.

When he opened the door, he saw a cultivator with a dry and thin figure standing in front of the door.

The other party was in his thirties or forties, his appearance was a bit ugly, and he was lewd with a thieving brow.

Wang Chen frowned, “Fellow Daoist Hou?”

This uninvited guest he recognized, his name was Hou Zheng, living in the most shabby house in the innermost part of the alley.

Usually idle, said to help others do some dirty things to live.

The reputation in the neighborhood is very bad.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, I’ve taken the liberty of disturbing you.”

Hou Zheng rubbed his hands together and flashed a fawning smile at Wang Chen, “I want to talk to you about something very important, something that concerns the life and limb of your family!”

“Important thing?”

Wang Dust hesitated and opened the door, “Then come in and talk.”

He brought the other party into the middle of the main house.

Wang Dust had just made a table full of food, and on the table were braised beast meat, steamed spirit fish, fragrant mixed seasonal vegetables, and so on.

Hou Zheng came in and saw it and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

He looked like he was salivating.

Wang Chen smiled and took out a set of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to him, “Fellow Daoist Hou, since you’re here, let’s eat together.”

Normally, he cultivated and rested underground.

But cooking and cooking were done in the ground kitchen, after all, the air circulation in the underground space was not very good.

“Thanks.”

Hou Zheng received the dishes.

He sat down opposite Wang Duan, but did not bother to move the delicious food on the table, a pair of narrow eyes staring blankly at Wang Duan, “Fellow Daoist Wang, I want to ask you something.”

Wang Dust nodded, “Go ahead and ask.”

Hou Zheng took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, “Yesterday, Dame Zhu asked you for help, why didn’t you help her?”

Wang Chen asked back, “Why would I help her?”

“You have spirit stones!”

Hou Zheng became steeply agitated, “I know you have spirit stones, you’re a talisman maker, you can sell a lot of talismans in the workshop market, you must have earned a lot of spirit stones, why didn’t you help her?”

“It’s my business if I earn a lot of spirit stones.”

Wang Dust said indifferently, “Helping someone is a favor, not helping is your business.”

“But you could have saved them!”

A vein blossomed on Hou Zheng’s forehead, his eyes turned a crimson color, and he gritted his teeth as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, “You obviously could have saved them, but you stood by and watched, aren’t you afraid of karmic retribution?”

“Not afraid.”

Wang Chen replied seriously, “I have a clear conscience!”

Karma?

It was simply a big joke.

He and the Zhu family were merely neighbors and did not have a deep friendship, and Zhu Xiaohu still owed gambling debts.

Most importantly, the Zhu family wasn’t really at the end of their rope.

And in fact Wang Chen had already done the other side a huge favor by destroying the Changle Gambling House and heavily damaging the Three Rivers Association.

They only needed to hold out for one day, and then things would take a big turn for the better.

As a result, they themselves went on a desperate path.

What did this have to do with Wang Dust?

Hou Zheng’s accusation made him feel very ridiculous: “You evil spirits, are your brains empty inside as well?”

When the word “evil spirits” came out of Wang Chen’s mouth, Hou Zheng, who was sitting opposite him, changed his color.

His eyes instantly turned black, a layer of greenish gray aura surfaced on his face, his fingernails became sharp like hooks and claws, and his face followed with distortions and changes.

In the blink of an eye, Hou Zheng’s appearance unexpectedly became exactly the same as Zhu Xiaohu!

It let out a low hiss, “Wang Xiu, you deserve to die!”

It opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of sinister Qi towards Wang Chen!

Wang Chuan wasn’t the least bit surprised by the shocking change in Hou Zheng.

Because as soon as he opened the door just now, he sensed the evil aura that existed in the other party’s body!

Wang Chuan had killed countless evil spirits, so even if “Hou Zheng’s” disguise was impeccable, it still couldn’t escape his soul insight and super-sense intuition!

What Wang Chen didn’t expect was that this evil spirit was Zhu Xiaohu.

It was thought that the other party was harboring great grievances before he killed himself, coupled with the fact that he was discovered a long time after his death, resulting in his soul’s grievances not being transcended in a timely manner, and ultimately evolving into a terrifying evil spirit.

However, Wang Chen did not have the slightest fear and looked at the other party with disdain and pity in his eyes.

This guy was really a wimp, even after he died and turned into an evil spirit, he only dared to take his anger out on the innocent!

Facing the sinister Qi spewed out by the evil sneak, Wang Dust waved his palm and slapped it out, easily dispersing it.

At the same time, a large net flew out from his sleeve, enveloping “Hou Zheng”.

The evil spirit obviously didn’t expect Wang Chuan’s reaction to be so swift and swift, and when it tried to break free from the evil-executing net that fell over it, it was horrified to find that the Yin Fi energy in its body was being absorbed by the net.

The Yin Fury Qi was the origin power of the evil spirit, and this was like skinning its flesh, knocking its bones and sucking its marrow, causing it to feel instinctive fear and pain.

“Ya~”

“Hou Zheng” struggled desperately in the Evil Punishing Net while letting out sharp whistles.

However, the more it struggled, the tighter the impenetrable net tightened.

Unperturbed, Wang Chen picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a piece of still-hot braised beast meat into his mouth.

He chewed slowly and ate with flavor.

If you don’t do anything wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night, so when evil spirits come, you naturally have to treat them with hospitality!

This is a resource that comes to the door.

But “Hou Zheng” obviously can not withstand such enthusiasm, its origin in a very short period of time by the evil net to draw clean, the whole person quickly turned into a dry corpse.

The size was only one-third of a normal adult!

Wang Chen retrieved the Evil Punishing Net with his probing hand, and at the same time “lifted” the drained corpse out of the room.

He followed up with a Fire Crow Technique and burned it cleanly.

Since the evil spirit had already been extinguished, there was no need for any more transcendence, so Wang Dust only used his Cleansing Technique to clean up the ashes on the floor.

At this point, the last trace of Zhu Xiaohu left in the world no longer existed!

Also vaporized was Hou Zheng, who was possessed by an evil spirit.

This guy is also unlucky, actually was Zhu Xiaohu selected as the object of possession.

It is estimated that there is a grudge between the two sides!

And after solving this evil spirit that was sent to his door, Wang Chen’s heart did not have any joy.

He had a vague feeling that similar things might occur again.

Dongwu Walled City was not an important place for the sect, and the outer sect lands of Yunyang Sect were protected by the Fixed Sun Clock, so it could be said that most of the casual cultivators here were under the threat of evil sneaks as well as powerful demonic beasts at all times.

What Wang Chen was worried about was that such threats would become more and more frequent as the Heaven and Earth Cataclysm approached!

He finished eating all the dishes he had made for the table.

Then he went back to the underground chamber to cultivate.

The most important thing to deal with threats was to have strength.

Wang Chen still had to work harder and harder!
