This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 392: Chapter 270: You Can’t Grasp It!

“Daring to take down female ghosts, Ma Long would risk it all!”

With a death-defying look, Ma Long strode into the park’s main entrance.

However, as soon as he entered the park, he started to regret it.

Inside the park, it was pitch black.

Outside the park, it was a hot summer night, and even the night breeze carried a hint of heat.

Inside the park, the temperature dropped sharply.

It was as if he had stepped from summer into early winter in one stride!

In the night sky, the chilling Yin wind blew through. Ma Long shivered unconsciously and asked, “Xu Yang… are you sure there’s no problem?”

“Don’t worry, Ma Long.”

Xu Yang put an Invisibility Talisman on himself and said, “With me here, what do you have to worry about?”

“You make a fair point.”

Ma Long nodded, feeling much more relaxed.

Xu Yang whispered, “Don’t talk to me now. I’m worried that the malevolent being in Yingze Lake Garden will be too scared to show up once they discover me… It won’t be too late for me to make a move after they come after you.”

The two of them walked into Yingze Lake Garden, one in front and one behind, one in the light and the other in the dark.

Suddenly.

Ma Long’s spirits surged.

He saw two ghostly figures intertwined on a bench near the bushes in front of him, accompanied by strange moaning sounds.

The park was too dark.

Ma Long could only see a vague silhouette.

He bent down and fumbled on the ground for a moment before picking up a stick.

In his heart…

Thoughts flickered.

“Ever since I first saw a ghost, I’ve always been bullied by them!”

“Today, I’m going to reverse the situation and bully a ghost!”

“Besides, with Xu Yang here, what do I have to fear?”

He grabbed the stick and charged straight at the figures, swinging it at them.

“Holy shit!”

Xu Yang was shocked. He wanted to call out and stop Ma Long, but he noticed a strong Yin energy approaching from a distance. On top of that Yin energy, a layer of faint gray mist could be seen. He immediately suppressed his voice in shock.

“Ah!”

“Ah…”

Two screams, one male and one female, came from the bench.

The man and woman jumped up, hurriedly putting on their pants. The man angrily said, “Who the fuck are you, and why did you hit me?”

Ma Long: “…..”

He hesitated for a moment.

Then he snapped back to his senses, a flash of inspiration crossing his mind. His eyes filled with a glimmer of wisdom, and he clutched the stick in his hand, speaking in a hoarse, slow, and deep voice, “You adulterers! In the dead of night, you dare come to my territory to engage in such sordid deeds? Today, I’ll swallow you alive!”

The man was startled, remembering the rumors about Yingze Lake Garden being haunted. He took a closer look and, due to the darkness, only saw Ma Long’s chubby, black face. He immediately shivered and cried out, “Your Highness, spare me!” before running away in panic, dragging the woman with him.

Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief, cursing, “Fuck… that was close. I almost got beaten up!”

He gripped the stick and continued to head deeper into Yingze Lake Garden.

Behind him, Xu Yang, under the effect of the Invisibility Talisman, wore a solemn expression on his face.

He had seen…

The gray mist, filled with a sinister aura, hovering behind Ma Long.

Xu Yang was all too familiar with the aura the gray mist emitted!

An evil deity!

The malevolent being in Yingze Lake Garden was actually an evil deity!

“This evil deity’s aura is much stronger than the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple, and even stronger than the Japanese officer I killed last night… Its power surely reaches the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm and Daoist Refining Spirit Realm. No wonder the Jin Province branch office couldn’t handle it.”

Xu Yang secretly thought.

In his eyes, a faint glimmer of excitement emerged!

How much merit could he accumulate by dealing with an evil deity that was on par with the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm and Daoist Refining Spirit Realm for a whole night?

More importantly, Yingze Lake Garden had a huge area, and it was empty inside. Even if a big battle erupted, there was no need to worry about harming the common people.

“However, I can’t make a move now!”

“I must wait for the evil deity to show itself… If I startle it first and let it escape, won’t it be like making a wasted trip?”

Soon.

Ma Long arrived at the side of Yingze Lake.

A seven-hole stone bridge spanned the lake.

The “Heavenly Maiden Incident” from years ago took place right here.

In the center of the lake, there was a pavilion.

At this moment, a gracefully formed woman was sitting there.

Red candles flickered while red curtains of gauze hung from the pavilion, swaying as the Yin wind blew. The woman’s clothes and hair fluttered along with it, creating quite a poetic scene.

Xu Yang saw that a wisp of gray mist behind Ma Long flashed and disappeared into the woman’s body.

The woman then turned her head with a smile and said to Ma Long, “What brings you here, sir, in the middle of the night?”

Xu Yang was taken aback, thinking the woman had discovered him. But he quickly realized…

The woman’s words were directed at Ma Long!

Ma Long had now cultivated his “Yin deity” and reached the “Night Wandering Realm.” His Yin deity’s strength was stronger than that of an average red-clothed person—ordinary Yin spirits and malevolent beings couldn’t detect it, but the woman could.

As soon as he saw the woman, Ma Long instinctively turned to run.

But he felt a strong hand on his back, steadying him. He looked towards the center of the lake and said, “It’s a long night, I couldn’t sleep, so I came for a walk… Can’t you sleep either, miss?”

Xu Yang: “…”

What the hell is this way of starting a conversation?

The woman covered her mouth with a light laugh and said, “Indeed, I cannot sleep… Since we’ve met by chance, sir, why don’t we have a few drinks together?”

With a wave of her hand,

the water on the lake’s surface began to ripple. The waves soared into the air and didn’t fall back into the lake. Instead, they formed a “water carpet” beneath Ma Long’s feet.

Ma Long wanted to ask a question, but remembering Xu Yang’s words earlier…

Without further delay, he took a step forward, intending to step on the water carpet and test the depth of the “female ghost” for Xu Yang.

“Ma Long!”

However, as he took a step, Xu Yang stopped him.

Ma Long looked back and saw Xu Yang walking out of the darkness. With a smile, he said, “Ma Long, this woman is too powerful for you to handle… Let me do it!”

By “too powerful,” he meant her strength, not her figure.

With one step, Xu Yang landed on the “water carpet.”

“Ding!”

“The evil god has been startled. Merit points +1000, Water Manipulation Skill +1, Interrupting Flow +1.”

In the center of the lake, the woman was greatly surprised. She swiftly stood up, and with a flash of brilliance in her eyes, she stared at Xu Yang and asked, “Who are you?”

How could she not be shocked?

From the moment Ma Long entered Yingze Lake Garden, she had noticed him.

After all, the “extreme Yin aura” on Ma Long was too attractive to her.

However, Ma Long was a living person who had cultivated the skills of the Underworld Palace and even manifested a “Yin deity.” This made her somewhat wary. She didn’t attack immediately but covertly influenced Ma Long with an invisible strand of her aura. She lured him to the lakeside before gradually revealing herself!

In other words…

Throughout Ma Long’s journey, he had been under her watchful eye.

And this man had been following Ma Long the whole time without her knowing?

Not just her.

Hearing the system prompt, Xu Yang was also surprised.

Merit points and Water Manipulation Skill…

Those were within his expectations.

However, the “Interrupting Flow +1” was certainly unexpected!

What is “Interrupting Flow”?

“Interrupting Flow” is one of the 72 Earth-Devil Skills. As the name suggests, it can cause rivers to cease flowing!

Of course.

The biggest use of “Interrupting Flow” is that one can enter and exit the Dragon Palace using this divine power!

For a moment, Xu Yang became even more excited!

Let’s not mention merit points for now. If he could master “Interrupting Flow” tonight, it would be a successful trip!

Although it seemed like a long conversation, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

From the moment Xu Yang appeared until he stepped onto the “water carpet,” the woman was shocked. With a wave of her hand, the “water carpet” beneath Xu Yang’s feet shattered with a splash, turning into a string of water droplets and scattering… However, Xu Yang didn’t fall into the lake as the woman had imagined.

He stepped on the lake’s surface as if walking on flat ground and strode towards the pavilion in the center of the lake, smiling and introducing himself, “I am Xu Yang, the sect leader of the Jingming Sect of the Daoist martial world. People have given me a nickname, the Northwest Hammer King. Have you ever heard of it, elder sister?”

As soon as he finished speaking,

he leaped into the pavilion.
