Yang Tiangang directly decided not to interfere in the affairs next door anymore. Luo Chen, on the other hand, watched the paper effigy with great interest. The paper effigy had no expression of its own, and its smiling face was simply painted on. At this very moment, in the courtyard of Luo Chen, the old beggar had already appeared, no one knew exactly when. The old beggar held that flag in his hand, his face bearing a gloomy smile. “You have quite some courage. Seeing my paper effigy, you are actually not afraid!” “It is a pity that when the King of Hell demands your life at the third watch, how can he let you live until the fifth watch?” The old beggar laughed bizarrely, his whole body filled with a cold and sinister aura. He stood in the corner of the courtyard, staring at Luo Chen as coldly as a snake. In his eyes, Luo Chen was already meat on a chopping block, ready to be cut however he pleased. After all, he was a spirit medium. Dealing with an ordinary young man was child’s play. “So confident?” Luo Chen asked in return. “Hehe, it is good to be young. Because of ignorance, you can be fearless,” the old beggar sneered. “You are at the door of death, yet you do not even know it?” the old beggar suddenly said arrogantly. “Is a spirit medium someone that a tiny mortal like you can afford to offend?” “To make an enemy of an immortal is a capital crime, it is grossly insubordinate!” the old beggar said, pointing at Luo Chen, his posture and manner as if he truly were an immortal. But Luo Chen paid no mind to his posture and momentum. “Now, in the name of the immortals, I sentence you to death!” The old beggar waved his hand, and the paper effigy walked towards Luo Chen, wearing a sinister smile on its face, looking exceptionally terrifying. “In the name of the immortals?” Luo Chen was amused. But the next moment, the face of Luo Chen darkened. “Not to mention a mere ant like you, even if a true immortal were to come, they would not dare to say such a thing in front of me, Luo!” Luo Chen rebuked. Who was he? The Supreme Sovereign among immortals! That status and reputation were fought for and earned. Any true immortal would have to bow their head upon seeing Luo Chen! How would they dare sentence him to death? The paper effigy had already pounced. This paper effigy was very strange. It could not harm physical objects, but it could damage the soul of a person. Cold winds blew through the courtyard, as if the Gates of Hell had been opened, and even the moonlight above was no longer visible. The entire courtyard was filled with looming ghostly shadows, looking exceptionally frightening. As the paper effigy walked, it turned into two, then four, and finally, the courtyard was filled with paper effigies. This move was the ultimate killing technique of the old beggar. Even an ordinary grandmaster would have to kneel upon encountering it, let alone an ordinary young man. Moreover, after this paper effigy killed him, it would absorb and imprison his soul, turning into a new paper effigy. In other words, all the paper effigies filling the courtyard were people who had been killed by the old beggar previously. But just at the moment the paper effigies were about to attack Luo Chen, he gently blew a breath towards them. This breath contained the Essence of Li Fire. In an instant, those paper effigies did not even have time to scream or react before directly turning into black ashes. “A cultivation practitioner?” The expression of the old beggar changed drastically. With just a single breath, all his paper effigies were burned to nothing. This was undoubtedly a cultivation practitioner. After all, an expert reveals their skill with a single move. However, the old beggar had come prepared after all. Seeing the change of events, he did not panic. Instead, he took out a human skin mask and put it on his face. This human skin mask was something he had accidentally obtained while travelling in western Hunan. Once worn, it could temporarily grant him a physical body as powerful as that of a corpse king. After putting on the human skin mask, the old man charged directly at Luo Chen. At this moment, his strength was as immense as a mountain, and his whole body was as hard as iron. Cultivation practitioners feared nothing more than encountering someone with strength as immense as a mountain and a body as hard as iron at close range. After all, the physical durability of a cultivation practitioner was not as high as that of a martial artist! “So what if you are a cultivation practitioner?” the old beggar sneered repeatedly. “In the face of this physical body, you can only be crushed!” The old beggar raised his palm with an arrogant look, intending to smash Luo Chen to pieces with a single slap. If it had been an ordinary cultivation practitioner, they would have certainly met their doom today. But unfortunately for him, the old beggar had run into Luo Chen! Just as the arm, full of corpse energy, swung down, Luo Chen made his move. He slapped back, with speed reaching its absolute extreme. The old beggar had not even reacted before he was instantly blown to pieces with a loud bang while still alive. “Too weak.” Luo Chen shook his head. Crystal clear blood and flesh flew through the air, burning up before it even hit the ground. In an instant, even the ashes disappeared. Luo Chen concealed the commotion over here. Next door, Yang Tiangang and Yang Ruyu naturally had no idea what had actually happened. Having listened for a long time without hearing any movement from the courtyard next door, a trace of mockery appeared at the corner of the mouth of Yang Ruyu. It seemed Luo Chen had already been killed. This was the consequence of being arrogant. If he had been willing to bow his head back then and take her ancestor as his master, how could he have ended up like this? Even if you are a young master from a wealthy family, you still cannot afford to offend a spirit medium! What a waste of his prime youth. Yang Ruyu shook her head and fell into a deep sleep. Before dawn broke, the old and young pair arrived at the back mountain once again. However, as soon as they arrived, Yang Ruyu was startled. They had thought Luo Chen was dead, but to their surprise, he was actually sitting there with his legs crossed, completely unharmed. “You are not dead?” Not only was Yang Ruyu surprised, but Yang Tiangang was also astonished. “Very surprising?” Luo Chen asked in return. Yang Ruyu was about to say something, but Yang Tiangang gestured for her to stay silent. Yang Tiangang frowned and thought for a while. In the end, after teaching Yang Ruyu a set of boxing exercises, he took her and left. “Ancestor, he…” Yang Ruyu was very surprised that Luo Chen had not died. “It must be that the spirit medium has not made his move yet.” Yang Tiangang thought carefully, and this was the only possible result. Otherwise, there could be no other reason. After all, that was a spirit medium, and even he had to be slightly wary of them. If the other party had truly made a move, there was no way Luo Chen could have survived. “He is just lucky!” Yang Ruyu said resentfully. After Yang Ruyu and the others left, and when the sky was fully bright, the phone of Luo Chen actually rang. “Hello, good morning. Is this Mr Luo?” A strange voice came from the other end of the phone. “I am Zhao Lixin. I am in charge of things here in the Northern Province.” Zhao Lixin smiled. Zhao Lixin, the top leader of the Northern Province! He had heard from Yanjing that Luo Chen had come to his territory. Regardless of anything else, Luo Chen was currently the number one person on the Huaxia Heavenly Dragon List, and a Major General! This identity and status explained everything. Therefore, upon learning this news, Zhao Lixin called Luo Chen at the very first opportunity. Originally, he had planned to rush to Bo City in person, but he happened to have several important meetings, so he could not come for the time being. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Lixin did not have any other intentions. He simply hoped Luo Chen would have a good time in Bo City. Of course, if he could latch onto Luo Chen as a powerful backer, Zhao Lixin would naturally be more than willing. Subsequently, Zhao Lixin called Tian Yongchang, the top leader of Bozhou City, instructing Tian Yongchang to find a way to please Luo Chen. Upon hearing that Luo Chen had arrived, Tian Yongchang was startled. However, when Tian Yongchang asked for the phone number of Luo Chen, Zhao Lixin deliberately refused to give it. He only told Tian Yongchang that Luo Chen was in Bocheng County! Tian Yongchang hung up the phone with a frown. This was a VIP. If he served him well, he might just soar to success in the future. But if he failed to serve him well, this matter would be extremely troublesome. Just at this moment, a person dressed extremely like a young master walked in. “Uncle, I need to go to Bo City. A friend of mine ran into a bit of trouble over there.”
