Chapter 309: Chapter 145 Red Moon Relics

Xu Residence.

Fayue hurriedly came.

Xu Qing saw his expression and knew something was wrong. He sighed and said, "Has something happened to Abbot Yankong?"

Fayue nodded: "Xu Jieyuan has already guessed. Please hurry and follow me up the mountain."

Xu Qing turned to Feng Wu and said, "You come with me."

Feng Wu was an expert at Divine Soul Manifestation, and her combat power was even higher than Fayue’s.

What’s more, leaving Feng Wu alone, it was hard to predict, if something happened to Yankong, whether he would come to the Xu Residence.

Xu Qing called for a horse, and he rode the Fire Cloud Horse together with Feng Wu.

On the way, Xu Qing handed the Peach Wood Sword to Feng Wu.

Feng Wu had often played with this sword, and it carried his scent. As an expert at Manifestation, although she had not refined the Peach Wood Sword, she could wield it like a typical Magic Artifact.

But she was not as adept as Xu Qing, who could use it as naturally as moving his own limbs.

"Don’t worry about me. Because your Divine Soul is strong, wielding this sword in battle will help me even more," thought Xu Qing on the way.

If Yankong has a problem, one must not be distracted in dealing with him, engaging in clever and complicated tactics to defeat the opponent.

Because when facing a truly formidable expert, the more complex the approach, the more likely problems will arise.

Like in Jin Yong’s novels, no matter how unpredictable the Luoying Divine Sword Palm is, full of feints and illusions, it’s still not as effective as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Yankong’s predicament was something Xu Qing had anticipated early on.

Therefore, when the situation arose, he was not panicked.

At the same time, Xu Qing’s heartbeat was slower than usual. With the Fire Cloud Horse saving him the energy to climb the mountain, Xu Qing continuously adjusted his mindset to ensure that by the time they reached the monastery, he was in his best possible state.

Upon entering the Golden Ray Monastery, Xu Qing didn’t go to the abbot’s chambers but headed straight for the Relic Pagoda.

Along the way, he saw several monks lying on the ground, their Qi-Blood weakened, but they still had faint breathing.

It looked like some of their Qi-Blood had been drained, but there was no threat to their lives.

Seeing this, Xu Qing knew that the situation was more complex than he had imagined.

Yankong’s actions should not have been a total loss of control, otherwise, there would have been corpses on the ground.

Total loss of control would have been predictable.

This semi-demonic state could still retain human rationale and control over information about Xu Qing.

Even though his Golden Light Spell was theoretically capable of restraining Yankong, it was still unpredictable when it came to actual battle.

The most painful thing for Xu Qing was that if Yankong became demonized, he would lose an extremely important supporter.

Even Feng Wu’s achievement of Divine Soul Manifestation could not compensate for this.

Her foundation was still too shallow.

Feng Wu closely followed behind Xu Qing.

Xu Qing did not use his full movement technique, instead constantly adjusting his breath and extending his senses.

There was noise and chaos in many parts of the Golden Ray Monastery, but only the direction of the Relic Pagoda was eerily silent.

This was sufficient to indicate that Yankong had already reached the Relic Pagoda.

The situation had deteriorated faster than he had imagined.

Xu Qing could not blame Fayue for reporting too late, as the deterioration of the condition on Yankong’s body had likely been faster than even Yankong had anticipated.

And all this happened during the busiest days of Xu Qing’s wedding.

This made Xu Qing realize even deeper the demonic nature afflicting Yankong.

It was clear that Yankong himself had underestimated the horrifying nature of the demon.

Arriving close to the Relic Pagoda, Xu Qing cautiously stopped.

Feng Wu and Fayue quickly caught up.

However, Feng Wu was noticeably panting; after all, her Martial Arts skills were still far inferior to Xu Qing’s, while Fayue’s Kung Fu had considerably improved recently, but he still hadn’t grasped the essence of Refining Internal, and his Divine Soul Cultivation was not as advanced as Feng Wu’s now.

This was the best help Xu Qing could find at the moment.

A fierce and evil aura emerged from the pagoda. Out of the small door at the bottom of the pagoda, a monster appeared.

The monster, looking like a dog, was stocky and as big as a lion, with a ferocious aura, golden fur, and an air of death about it.

Undoubtedly, this was the Evil Demon suppressed within the pagoda.

Its true form was indeed like this.

And atop the pagoda, a handsome and eerily beautiful red-haired man was looking down at Xu Qing and his companions, with a carefree attitude that carried a strange quality.

"Are you Abbot Yankong, or is it the reincarnation of Red Moon Zen Master?"

He didn’t ask if the eerie red-haired man was the incarnation of the golden-haired monster because it was clear the golden-haired monster was in awe of the eerie man, yet their relationship didn’t seem to be that of master and servant.

"Xu Gongming, to think you would find your way here so quickly; it truly is beyond my expectations," the man spoke with an unnaturally calm tone, devoid of any madness.

A sinking feeling in his heart, Xu Qing realized that this person’s rationale exceeded his expectations, complicating the impending battle.

Calmly, Xu Qing said, "If you insist on making things difficult for me, now would be my best opportunity, and therefore the best time for me to come."

"Well said, worthy of being Xu Gongming."

"Master!" Fayue called out loudly.

The red-haired man looked at Fayue and smiled, "Good disciple, you were not indecisive this time. I am very gratified."

Fayue, instead of feeling gratified upon hearing the conversation, felt a chill run down his spine, "You are not my master."

The red-haired man sighed, "Fayue, do I really need to bring up the times you wet your bed when you were little, or when you learned to peek at the beautiful female Bodhisattvas?"

Fayue was visibly shaken. His mind wavered—could it really be his master? With this thought, his fear intensified.

"Be careful." Just as Fayue’s mind wavered, Xu Qing spoke with a Thunder Sound, alerting him.

At that moment, before Fayue’s eyes, the red-haired man approached within a few feet of Fayue and reached out with both hands towards Fayue’s face.
