This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

That night.

It was a dark and windy night.

Xu Yang, carrying a hammer, entered the broken temple.

He searched all around, not sparing any corner, saying things like “hide well,” “found you,” and “I’ll hammer you to death when I find you,” as he mentally oppressed the four female ghosts!

“Ding!”

“A female ghost was frightened, +20 merit points.”

“Ding!”

“A female ghost was frightened, +30 merit points.”

“Ding…”

The four female ghosts hid in the shadows, restraining their Yin energy, not daring to move at all.

The black-nailed female ghost was hiding in a pottery jar, which was casually thrown in a corner, inconspicuous.

She curled up in the jar as Yin energy, trembling as she listened to the approaching footsteps… only to belatedly breathe a sigh of relief when the footsteps retreated.

However, in the next moment, the pottery jar was suddenly grabbed.

An eye appeared above the jar opening.

“Haha, found you!”

Xu Yang laughed, smashing the jar on the ground with a loud crash, releasing billowing black smoke, which turned into the black-nailed female ghost.

“Ahhhh!

“Daoist Master, spare me… elder sister, save me!”

The black-nailed female ghost was so frightened that her hair stood on end, turning into a wisp of Yin energy and fleeing in all directions, while Xu Yang, holding the hammer, chased her around, sneering: “Little darling, why are you running?”

“I told you, once I find you, I’ll hammer you to death…”

“Surrender obediently, and I’ll give you a quick end!”

“Ding!”

“A female ghost was frightened, +20 merit points.”

“Ding…”

For a time, the merit points began to skyrocket again.

Moreover, this scene caused the other three hidden female ghosts to develop a significant psychological shadow, granting Xu Yang a wave of merit points as well.

Looking at his attribute panel and the merit points that approached 3000 again, he couldn’t help but say, “Once 1 drain these four female ghosts, I can reach not only the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm, but even the ninth level!”

“By that time, I can accumulate more power, enter the Dao, and have a place in this vast martial world… huh?”

Suddenly.

Xu Yang stopped.

He noticed that Ma Long had woken up, watching him with a confused expression. “Old Xu, what are you doing?”

“I’m catching ghosts.”

Xu Yang replied truthfully.

Ma Long blinked, somewhat in disbelief.

Catching ghosts?

Who catches ghosts with a hammer?

He had been awake for over ten seconds, witnessing Xu Yang chasing the female ghost with a hammer and a hearty laughter, while the female ghost was running around in panic, wailing continuously…

Something seemed off!

Ma Long tried to get up, only to yelp in pain as he clutched his neck. “What happened to me? Why does my neck hurt so much… Old Xu, did you hit me?”

Xu Yang walked over to Ma Long, calmly denying it: “How could I possibly hit you? You were drunk and sleeping, maybe you had a nightmare?”

“Nightmare?”

Ma Long recalled, murmuring, “What’s wrong with me? Why are my dreams so vivid lately? 1 dreamt you sent me to a ghost’s lair like a package, and then knocked me out with a chop…”

Not letting him finish, Xu Yang interjected: “Alright, alright, don’t think too much about it… By the way, can you help me?”

He took out his phone, turned on the video.

Xu Yang said, “I’m going to catch ghosts in a while. You help me record it… then 1’11 send it to the Spirits Management Bureau as proof of me catching ghosts!”

Although the act seemed a bit…

Money knows no shame.

According to the Spirits Management Bureau’s classification, the four female ghosts were all B-ranked Yin spirits. Each was worth 500,000, so four would be 2 million, enough to buy a large flat in Wu City.

If he continued working hard, he didn’t need to dig up Liu Shishi’s burial items; he could afford a villa on his own.

Ma Long took the phone and started recording with it focused on Xu Yang.

However, it was dark, making the recording not very clear; Xu Yang said, “Wait a moment.”

He ran out of the broken temple, catching the drifting human head lanterns outside, tying them up with ink lines from the ink bucket, and hanging them in the broken temple, instantly illuminating the temple with a dark red glow.

One of the human head lanterns shook in fear, extinguishing its red candle.

Xu Yang slapped it, angrily scolding, “Don’t you fucking tremble, you damn thing…”

As he spoke,

he flicked his fingers, igniting the red candle with a burst of flame.

He recalled the live broadcast he had seen and greeted the screen, “Wang Lin, Bai Wei, hello… I am now at Naitou Mountain’s broken temple…”

“The mastermind behind the heavy-reward-for-child case has been investigated. It was four B-ranked female ghosts. They are hiding now, and I am about to find and hammer them to death, one by one.”

“Come on, record it, and keep the camera on me.”

Late at night.

Silver City.

Supernatural Affairs Bureau Branch.

After a day of meetings, they finally ended.

Wang Lin found Bai Wei and said, “Bai Wei, Master Xu called this afternoon and said he found some clues about the heavy-reward-for-child case.”

“Oh?”

Bai Wei’s face lit up, “It seems like our choice to ask Master Xu for help was the right one… By the way, where’s the team leader?”

“The team leader went to the Bureau Chief… I heard he ran into big trouble this time and wanted the Bureau Chief to help with a powerful zombie..”
