Wrongly practicing evil skills, imitating the laws of nature

The usually bustling Jade Stone Town was stirred up and frightened by the appearance of Old Devil Duan, alarming many.

Among those who reacted fastest, it wasn't the Fourth Elder Jin Ladi of the Thunder Lord Mother Sect, nor Hong Ying, the Red Mansion Elder with a vendetta against Old Devil Duan for killing her daughter, but a "bird."

A bird hailed as the most beautiful in the world.

The Peacock soared into the sky, like a peacock spreading its tail, a sight of great beauty.

His movements were swift, extraordinarily so, leaving a trail of afterimages in the dim night.

Spreading his arms, he flew out of the town, resembling a feathered bird demon in the night.

However, he couldn't catch up with Old Devil Duan.

The Peacock stood by the lake, gazing at the dark and deep water, murmuring, "Old Devil Duan, are you afraid?"

Inside the carriage, Hua Wen and Hua Wu, hearing the commotion, were already huddled together tightly.

The name Old Devil Duan seemed to possess a magical power, especially knowing he was nearby, the two sisters felt a deep sense of fear.

Now, they only hoped that Old Devil Duan and the Peacock would be mutually injured, preferably perishing together.

Only then would they, the pitiful and miserable sisters, have a chance at survival.

The emerald green lake carried a bone-chilling cold.

Duan Yun swam in the lake, no slower than a fish.

Aside from the last time he entered the water to drag up the chest containing Shen Ying, this could be considered his first night swim in this lake.

Tonight, there was no moon, only a few stars, Duan Yun submerged himself in the water and could see the starlight through the surface.

He felt like a fish, swimming freely in the water.

The lake in the night seemed bottomless, a complete darkness with a little more depth.

Duan Yun tried diving deep, discovering that the lake was truly unfathomable.

After diving into the deep water for a while, Young Master Duan instinctively felt afraid, as if he was isolated from people, heading towards an unknown underworld.

In the pitch-black water, the currents often fluctuated, as if man-eating fish demons were wandering around, ready to devour people.

Duan Yun couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard in the town.

There was a giant carp in this lake, which had lived for an unknown amount of time, eating many children who played by the lake and fishermen.

Afterward, Duan Yun floated to the surface.

Afa and Ali were two Jianghu travelers, and also two fishing enthusiasts.

Besides knives and sticks, they were also skilled with fishing gear.

The fishhook hanging on the fishing rod had hooked the necks of enemies like hidden weapons many times.

So, for them, fishing was a pleasure and a form of cultivation.

The reason they encountered Old Devil Duan's violence tonight was because they had bad luck and hadn't caught any fish for a long time, so they decided to change locations.

Honestly, even now, the two were still terrified.

The scene of Old Devil Duan holding down the head of a member of the Thunder Lord Mother Sect and sucking was too terrifying.

They sat here, fearing that Old Devil Duan would suddenly appear behind them, tell them after careful consideration, he still had to kill them to silence them, and then suck their heads one in each hand.

At this time, the town, where heroes were clearly gathering, was safer, but Afa and Ali were still insisting on fishing.

As Afa said, how could a fisherman return empty-handed?

If they really went back empty-handed, they would probably be laughed to death by their wives.

So, they continued to fish here, trembling with fear.

The lake surface in the night was very quiet, with some withered leaves floating on the shore.

Logically, there should be fish here, big fish.

But they had been fishing for an hour and only caught three small fish.

At this time, Ali said, "Brother Fa, there are three here, although they are small, it's not completely empty. Sitting here, I always feel uneasy."

Afa was about to mock him for being timid when suddenly, with a splash, a loud noise came from the water.

Big fish!

"Ghost!"

The next moment, the fishing rod in Afa's hand flew out in fright.

It wasn't until the "water ghost" climbed ashore that the two saw clearly that it was a person with a lot of seaweed wrapped around his head.

At this time, the man asked, "How much are these fish?"

"These fish aren't for sale! You really scared us like a ghost in the middle of the night!"

Afa and Ali were frightened by the swimmer and were furious, so their tone was very unfriendly.

The next moment, Afa's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

He held the fish basket, saying with a trembling voice, "So it's Young Master Duan, these are a gift from us."

It was only when the other party pulled the seaweed off his head that they realized, wasn't this the Old Devil Duan who was just sucking people?

Was he really here to find them?

Duan Yun said, seeing this, "How can that be? You have to pay for things, I'm not those bullies."

Afa reacted the fastest, saying, "Young Master is right, but these fish are indeed not big, just give us whatever you think is appropriate."

Duan Yun paid a tael of silver, picked up the fish basket, and left.

Afa and Ali watched his back disappear into the night.

Ali said, "Brother Li, Old Devil Duan really paid for the fish."

Afa's temples throbbed, saying, "The fact that this kind of person pays for things is what makes him the most terrifying."

For a moment, Afa felt that the broken silver in his hand was like money for his life.

When Duan Yun returned to Jade Pearl Villa, Shen Ying had already returned.

She and the Murong brothers looked at him, soaked all over, with a surprised expression.

"What did you go to do?" Shen Ying asked, puzzled.

Duan Yun carried the bamboo basket, saying, "I suddenly wanted to eat fish, so I went into the water to catch some."

The Murong brothers complained, "Looking at you, I thought you dragged another box containing your sister back. Is that it? So small?"

Duan Yun looked at the three small fish he bought and said, "You can tell you've never fished at night, it's pitch black underwater, the only reason I could catch these three is because I'm a one-in-a-million fishing genius, okay?"

Duan Yun's words were half true, half false.

The truth was that fishing at night was really difficult, it was pitch black, he really fished for a while, and ended up with a head full of seaweed, not even touching a hair.

The false part was that these fish were so small, it wasn't like he caught them, he bought them with silver.

At this time, the Murong brothers began to lecture the "two siblings," saying, "You two siblings, one only knows how to watch plays all day, and the other doesn't do proper work at night, not going to find your sister, but going to the lake to catch fish, don't you know it's very chaotic outside?"

"Are you teaching us what to do?" Duan Yun's face darkened.

Shen Ying followed, saying, "That's right, do you think we don't know it's chaotic outside?"

Duan Yun nodded, saying, "You're the weakest, take care of yourself. Don't wait until your older sister and younger sister come to kill you again, and we have to help you deal with them."

"That's right!" Shen Ying strongly agreed.

Listening to the brother and sister singing in harmony, the Murong brothers felt cold and trembled, unable to speak for a moment.

There was no way, he was indeed the weakest one when killing the eunuch last time.

In Jade Pearl Villa, weakness is the original sin.

At the same time, in the Thunder Lord Mother Sect's residence, Fourth Elder Jin Ladi looked at the corpses on the ground who had perished together, his eyes deep, saying, "We can't wait any longer, select two young disciples to come over, we can only use that method to find that demon."

"We must find him!"

As he spoke, the life flute on his head couldn't help but tremble, causing people's eardrums to ache.

This meant that Jin Ladi was angry.

Let's get started tomorrow.
