Chapter 181 The Red-Pink Skull and the Cloud Temple
"Heh~ My little brother and I really have great chemistry."
The great demon in the attic paused for a moment, then spoke in a provocative tone.
"really."
Chu Yang nodded and smashed the wooden door of the attic with a punch. A cloud of pink mist rushed towards him, and he immediately focused his mind and held his breath.
With his current level of Qi cultivation, he can enter a state of embryonic breathing at any time, without breathing through his mouth and nose, and can hold his breath for several days and nights without any problem.
"Young man, you're really fierce! My attic took a lot of effort to build, and you've damaged my wooden door. You should make amends to me!"
The woman's voice gradually turned cold from its sweet, delicate tone.
"Oh, how will you compensate me?"
Chu Yang strode towards the direction from which the sound came from the mist.
"Give me your best flesh and blood as compensation!"
A startling red light surged from the pink mist, and the great demon's voice suddenly became shrill!
"Come and get it if you want it!"
Chu Yang suddenly threw a punch forward, unleashing the power of a hundred dragons and a hundred elephants, distorting the space in front of him and creating a thunderous explosion.
The ever-flowing mist suddenly stopped, then was blasted apart by the fist, revealing a terrified demon deep within.
It is a skeleton with some flesh and blood condensed into it!
Red and pink muscles hung on its body, like a gauze garment sewn from flesh and blood.
"Aaaaaah!"
The skeleton let out a scream, seemingly terrified that others would see her like this. A moment later, she transformed into human form, concealing her true form.
She was a woman who still possessed a certain charm. In Chu Yang's eyes, she was seven points in looks and ten points in figure.
"Haha, what a pitiful sight, a beautiful but ugly skeleton! You wretched creature, you have to steal someone else's skin to cover your ugliness!"
Chu Yang mocked the other party without giving him any face.
"This is exactly how I used to be!"
The pink skull's voice turned frantic; Chu Yang's words seemed to have struck a nerve with her!
She reached out and grabbed at the surrounding pink mist, which transformed into a long whip that lashed out fiercely at Chu Yang, the sound of it cutting through the air buzzing loudly.
Chu Yang's figure vanished abruptly, his whip missing its mark and striking the stone wall beside him!
Snapped!
The stone wall shattered, revealing a narrow crack, as if it had been struck by an iron hammer. Judging from the force, it weighed tens of thousands of pounds, comparable to a top-tier martial arts master.
"You run really fast!"
The pink skull said angrily, and then lashed out with its whip again.
"run?"
Chu Yang smiled disdainfully and actually stood still, watching the whip lash towards him.
"He's got a fiery temper; I love brainless brutes like you!"
The pink skull's shrill laughter echoed in the attic.
suddenly!
A blinding light emanated from Chu Yang, like the sun shining brightly across the sky, illuminating countless mountains and rivers. Both the long whip in the hands of the pink skull and the pink mist surrounding her melted away in an instant.
Then another bright moon rose.
The extraordinary phenomenon of the sun and moon appearing in the same sky unfolded slowly behind him like a scroll painting, covering the sky and the sun, extremely terrifying. As soon as this phenomenon appeared, the entire Paradise Tower shook violently.
Even the powerful demon, the pink skeleton, changed her expression!
She had never seen such a terrifying human powerhouse before.
Chu Yang pushed forward with both palms, and the light of the sun and moon transformed into a millstone, grinding forward fiercely.
The pink skull let out a shriek, disregarding its "beauty," and transformed back into its original skeletal form. Within its pure white body, thirty-six bones were emitting a pale purple glow.
Each bone was crystal clear, like a gemstone, and the purple light connected to form a purple light curtain, which actually withstood the crushing light of the sun and moon.
"Those are relics?" Chu Yang said with considerable surprise, "You, a demon, actually have thirty-six relics left behind by a high monk when he passed away, and you've even condensed them into a unified magic weapon."
"The Buddha's light should be golden, but it has been tainted by your demonic aura and turned purple. What a waste of its precious resources."
Countless rays of light collided violently in the small attic, and the space in front of them was almost torn apart by the powerful force!
Chu Yang unleashed [Fengdu], preparing to bring this battle to a close.
The Yellow Springs emerged from the void, like a boundless, rootless river, pouring out towards the purple light curtain.
Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come down from the sky?
Just as the Yellow Springs were relentlessly engulfing the pavilion, the pink skull disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of broken bones!
"She ran really fast, but she won't live much longer."
Chu Yang continued upstairs and found Lu Xiaofeng, who was on the verge of death, in a small compartment at the top of the pavilion. Then he found Hua Manlou in another compartment.
Compared to Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou looked much better. Apart from being pale and looking somewhat weak, he had no other problems.
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were dark, his breath was faint, and his vital essence was almost depleted. If he had arrived any later, he probably would have died here!
"You sucker, what are you doing here?"
In a daze, Lu Xiaofeng saw a familiar face.
"Little Lu, your father wants money for your drinks."
Chu Yang's face turned ashen. That bastard actually called him a sucker. He had originally wanted to help him, but it seemed he should just let him suffer a little longer.
"Thank you for your help. Are you a friend of Lu Xiaofeng?"
Hua Manlou was blind and could not see Chu Yang. He could only turn his head slightly to listen to the sounds around him. He could hear the sound of rushing water, but he did not know where so much water was coming from.
"Not a friend! He's a creditor! This guy owes me a ton of money for drinks!"
Chu Yang said irritably.
The more he looked at Lu Xiaofeng, the angrier he became. He really wanted to kick him to death right there!
"So you're friends then," Hua Manlou said with a slight smile. "These days, there aren't many friends you can owe money for drinks to, especially not to him."
Lu Xiaofeng didn't hear what the two were saying, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
"Can you still walk?"
"able."
Chu Yang lifted Lu Xiaofeng up with one hand, turned around and went downstairs, then had Fengdu take back the Yellow Springs.
The Yellow Springs come from the void and return to the void.
With his keen hearing, Hua Manlou looked bewildered, as if he were hallucinating, and silently followed behind Chu Yang.
When the two returned to the first floor, the crowded casino was completely deserted.
A panicked Li Gexiao rushed in from outside and shouted when she saw Chu Yang, "Your Highness! This Pleasure Pavilion was shaking so much just now, I thought it was going to collapse!"
As he spoke, he noticed Lu Xiaofeng being held by Chu Yang and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Xiaofeng? Why isn't she moving? Could she be dead?"
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly trembled and made a faint sound.
"I can still be saved."
"Where is Master Qian?"
"I saw him trying to run away, so I killed him with one slash, and I also took care of those masked thugs."
"Well done."
"What kind of monster lives in the Paradise Tower?"
"It's a skeleton that became a spirit after a person died, and it even has the Buddha's relics on its body. I don't know where it got them from."
Chu Yang explained the true origin of the great demon in the pavilion, then pushed Lu Xiaofeng to Li Gexiao, who quickly helped him up.
Li Ge asked with a smile, "Where is that great demon?"
Chu Yang shrugged and said, "She got away! Her Buddha relic is indeed powerful; she actually managed to escape from me alive."
"But she still won't survive tonight—"
Li Gexiao scratched his head and asked, "Should we continue chasing?"
"Go after it! Why don't you go after it? The Buddha's relics are incredibly rare and precious." Chu Yang clicked his tongue and said.
T
These days, highly accomplished monks are a rare breed.
Hua Manlou frowned slightly and asked softly, "I might know where that monster came from—"
Chu Yang and Li Ge smiled and turned to look at him.
Hua Manlou said, "Before coming to the Paradise Tower with Lu Xiaofeng, I visited a temple called Yunjian Temple. The nearby villages were all plagued by demonic energy, but Yunjian Temple was peaceful. At the time, I thought the abbot there was a Buddhist master. Now that I think about it, the whole temple seems a bit strange."
"A temple large enough to accommodate a hundred or so novices had only one old abbot and a young girl who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist prayers for her mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaofeng's weak voice rang out again.
"Let's go to Yunjian Temple —"
Seeing that he had difficulty speaking, Chu Yang feared that he might really die here, so he transferred some of his life force to him.
Li Ge chuckled and teased, "You're practically on your last breath, and you're still thinking about solving cases? How about I write you a letter of recommendation sometime, and you can apply for a job at the Six Doors!"
Lu Xiaofeng chuckled and said, panting, "I'm afraid people will beat me up if they hear you introduced me. Your reputation as a drunkard isn't much better than mine."
"Hahaha!!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Gexiao and Chu Yang burst into laughter.
Hearing their hearty laughter, Hua Manlou couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill. He thought that the two of them dared to break into the great demon's lair for Lu Xiaofeng, which not only showed their extraordinary courage and righteousness, but also their outstanding martial arts skills.
He was inclined to make friends with them.
"My name is Hua Manlou. May I ask how you two are addressed?"
Lu Xiaofeng coughed and laughed first, "One of them is a penniless drunkard, and the other is a rich young master who indulges in all five vices: eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, and prostitution."
"Just call them Drunkard and Young Master!"
Hua Manlou shook his head. "Thank you both for saving me. It's our first time meeting, so how could I spout nonsense like you?"
Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes.
Li Gexiao said, "Just call me Li Gexiao. This gentleman beside me is Young Master Chu Yang."
"Hero Li and Young Master Chu, is that right?" Hua Manlou tilted his head, seemingly remembering something, and asked in confusion, "However, I think I heard someone call out 'Your Highness' just now?"
Lu Xiaofeng scoffed, "Look at them, which one of them looks like a prince?"
"If there really is a prince among them, I, Lu Xiaofeng, will truly change my name to Lu Xiaoji from now on!"
Li Ge patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
Lu Xiaofeng froze, his expression changing drastically. "It can't really be?!"
Chu Yang laughed loudly, "He's just trying to scare you, you idiot!"
Li Ge laughed heartily.
"You scared the hell out of me! If you keep doing this, next time I'll pee in your wine." Lu Xiaofeng clutched his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
The three of them left the Blissful Pavilion while arguing.
The moment they stepped out of the Blissful Pavilion, a deafening roar erupted, and the entire mountain collapsed, burying the pavilion beneath it.
The mountain's interior already had many gaps, and with the addition of a jar of Yellow Spring Water, these gaps could no longer support the enormous Paradise Tower.
Li Gexiao whistled as he walked out into the wilderness.
"What are you doing? Are there still your troops lying in ambush outside?"
Lu Xiaofeng said in a sarcastic tone.
The next second, a huge wolfhound, even more imposing than a tiger, leaped out of the dark woods, startling Lu Xiaofeng.
"You were right!" Li Gexiao patted the dog's head and said, "This is my Wangcai, come and say hello."
The wolfhound looked at Li Gexiao with a puzzled expression. Didn't we agree that it would be called Xiaofeng? It's only been a short time since we last met and it's already changed its name?
The wolfhound shook its head, seemingly not liking the name.
Lu Xiaofeng seized the opportunity to laugh and scold, "Even a dog wouldn't like your name. You really have no knowledge at all; you're hopeless."
Chu Yang suddenly spoke up, "I think it sounds pretty good."
Lu Xiaofeng said, "Nice to hear, my foot!"
Hua Manlou subtly tugged at Lu Xiaofeng's sleeve.
"what?"
"Young Master Chu seems to be in a bad mood. I'm afraid you'll get beaten up."
"I didn't curse at him, why did he hit me?"
"What if Young Master Chu chose the name?"
"Forehead----"
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.
The large wolfhound, whose intelligence was almost on par with that of a spirit demon, also realized the seriousness of the situation and could naturally understand what Chu Yang and the others were saying.
The large wolfhound wagged its tail immediately, approached Chu Yang, and barked softly, as if to show that it actually liked the name very much.
"Is it too late for me to apologize now?"
Lu Xiaofeng said sincerely to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang shook his head, disregarding the extent of his injuries, and kicked him away, then placed his hand on the big wolfhound's head.
Wangcai stuck out its tongue and revealed a fawning smile.
"I've got you here to keep watch outside beforehand. If you can't find that skeleton, I'll make a dog meat hotpot today."
With a howl, Wangcai dashed off, using its excellent sense of smell to detect the demonic aura emanating from the pink skull, and led the way for everyone.
The group traveled day and night to Yunjian Temple, which was mentioned by Huamanlou.
In the original storyline, Yue Qing, who was in charge of making counterfeit banknotes, hid in Yunjian Temple. He was coerced by Boss Qian and a constable named Luo Ma to make a large number of counterfeit banknotes to make money for them.
In order to successfully retire from their criminal activities, the two tried to use the Paradise Tower to divert everyone's attention and fake their deaths to escape, but Lu Xiaofeng saw through their scheme at a glance.
The constable Luo Ma does not exist in this world; only Boss Qian distributes those silver notes tainted with demonic power.
The one in the Blissful Pavilion is also a pink skeleton demon that feeds on those who are succumbing to desire, making its connection with the Cloud Temple increasingly mysterious.
With the plot spiraling out of control, what Chu Yang knew was no longer of any value. He was also curious about the relationship between Yunjian Temple and the Red Powder Skull.
As the night grew colder, when they rushed to Yunjian Temple, they found that the once solemn and dignified Buddhist temple had become eerily cold, like a hellish underworld.
