Chapter 46: Yellow Turban Strongman
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“Master, help!”
Seeing Lin Qi arrive on a rumbling atmosphere, Yang Qingqiu immediately cried out for help as if grabbing at a lifeline.
“Master? Hmph, so you really are a lowborn wretch. My aunt’s body isn’t even cold, and you, a mere serving girl, have already sold yourself to another as a slave.”
“And you still say you two dogs didn’t conspire to murder my aunt!”
The Donkey-Faced Daoist immediately stamped his feet. Amid his eruption into a silent storm of profanity, a streak of cold light suddenly shot from his mouth toward Lin Qi.
Lin Qi frowned slightly, casually sidestepping the cold light spat out by the Donkey-Faced Daoist. “Fellow Daoist, hold your hand for now. Let’s talk this through properly.”
Lin Qi had just arrived and did not know the Donkey-Faced Daoist’s background, so he was in no hurry to strike. He wanted to understand the situation first.
Especially since Yang Qingqiu had suddenly called him Master, clearly trying to drag him into the water.
Though he had agreed to protect Yang Qingqiu for a year, he would not be so foolish as to let her use him as a hired thug.
“A fool who crawled out of nowhere to collude with a serving girl for money and murder.”
“And you think you deserve to call me Fellow Daoist?!”
The Donkey-Faced Daoist let out a cold laugh. He extended a hand and released a beam of golden light in the Great Handprint. Seeing that Lin Qi would dodge again, his eyes shifted, and he turned his hand to strike at Yang Qingqiu instead.
Lin Qi’s mind stirred. In the blink of an eye, he swapped positions and shielded Yang Qingqiu, blocking the golden Great Handprint. His voice was cold. “Fellow Daoist, you are being so unreasonable. Do you truly take me for easy prey?”
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Lin Qi suddenly sensed a fierce wind and thunder behind him.
A wisp of golden light flared, then transformed into a towering figure wearing a yellow turban. Its gaze was indifferent, like an immortal or a Buddha. Its hands, large as millstones, pressed toward Lin Qi in a clasping motion.
Lin Qi’s eyes gleamed. There was no time to turn and look. He pulled back and retreated urgently.
“Hmph!”
A cold shout came from the sky.
“Within the Market, Dharma contests are strictly forbidden.”
“You have violated the Market’s prohibition. This Venerable has been ordered to enforce the law and apprehend you.”
“Do you accept this?!”
A figure appeared from atop the towering yellow-turbaned body, looking down from above as he questioned them.
The Donkey-Faced Daoist immediately answered, “Steward Chen enforces the law impartially. We naturally accept wholeheartedly. But please, Steward Chen, see the truth clearly.”
“This serving girl colluded with an outsider for money and murder. After killing my aunt, to keep things from being exposed, she colluded with this thieving cultivator again, trying to kill me to silence me.”
“Fortunately, Steward Chen arrived in time and saved my life.”
