Wei Zifu suddenly felt something and turned to look at the group of people waiting beside him. His gaze suddenly froze as he stared at one of the veiled women.

The female Daoist also noticed Wei Zifu walking out of the Ye family and looked over.

Their gazes met, and sparks flew.

“Demonic cultivator! Don’t think about leaving!”

Wei Zifu’s expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he shouted and strode forward.

“Damn it, why is this accursed fellow chasing after me again!”

The female Daoist, Mei Zhanqing, was shocked and complained in her heart.

This old bull had been chasing her for more than half a year, fighting from the north to the south. He was like a vengeful ghost that would not let her go no matter what. It was really annoying.

Moreover, this old Daoist actually came out of the Ye family… Could he be an old friend of Perfected Master Windwalker?

Or was this Old Bull Nose also planning to cooperate and ask the Perfected One to deal with her?

All kinds of guesses appeared in Mei Lieqing’s heart. She felt an endless hatred.

Why was someone else ahead of her again?

Why was she always one step behind!

She immediately denied it and pretended to be angry. She reprimanded, “Daoist, you’re so rude! I’ve never seen you before. Why are you calling me a demonic cultivator?”

Things suddenly took a turn. The Zhang family’s guards beside him immediately approached and protected Mei Lieqing, preventing Wei Zifu from approaching.

Wei Zifu could only stop and speak through the human wall,

“Mei Zhanqing! Don’t pretend not to know me. You used sorcery to harm others, harmed others for your own benefit, and committed evil deeds. You will naturally receive your retribution. This Daoist has chased you for half a year and I vow to kill you!”

Mei Zhanqing frowned and pretended to be dissatisfied, “What Mei Zhanqing? You must be mistaken. My name is Yu Xin, and my Daoist name is Scholar Iron Heart. I’ve never heard of you, let alone know you!”

“Don’t deny it. So what if you change your name? Do you think I don’t recognize you?”

Wei Zifu shouted back adamantly.

“That’s right, that’s right. I’ve seen you too, and you almost plucked my yang to nourish my yin. It’s a pity for you… Fortunately, you didn’t manage to take advantage of me.” Li Qingyang chimed in and nodded repeatedly.

Mei Zhanqing immediately felt furious and glared at Li Qingyang. Li Qingyang was so frightened that he shrank his neck and hid behind his master.

At this moment, the leader of the Zhang family stepped forward. He frowned as he questioned,

“I’m Zhang Wentao, the head of the Zhang family’s main branch. Scholar Iron Heart is an honored guest of the Zhang family. What do you mean by offending her? Who are you?”

Wei Zifu restrained his temper and bowed. He said in a deep voice, “This poor Daoist is Wei Zifu. Greetings, Lord Zhang. Lord Zhang, please listen to me. The real name of the female Daoist beside you is Mei Zhanqing. She once used the name of Scholar Plum Blossom to commit heavy crimes in the north and used spell techniques to harm many people. I’ve been chasing her for more than half a year, but she has escaped time and time again. Lord Zhang, don’t be bewitched by this demon.”

However, Zhang Wentao only snorted coldly,

“Ridiculous! How can I take the one-sided story of an unknown Daoist seriously? Scholar Iron Heart has extraordinary self-restraint, but you’re the one who’s slandering her and deceiving the public. I think you’re the one who’s like a demon! I’m here to visit Perfected Master Windwalker at the request of Scholar Iron Heart this time. It has nothing to do with unrelated people. If you still refuse to make way, don’t blame me for being rude and taking you down on the street!”

Mei Zhanqing was secretly delighted, but she pretended to be calm as she chimed in,

“Daoist Wei, I’ve never seen you before, let alone the person you’re talking about. You’re spreading rumors and dirtying my reputation. I respect your old age and don’t want to pursue the matter. You should know your place. Don’t be disrespectful for your old age and pester a woman like me on the street. How scandalous!”

When Wei Zifu heard this, he knew that he would not be able to persuade the masses. He frowned as he looked at the current situation, feeling quite afraid.

He still had to worry about the laws of the Imperial Court. It was not easy to just start an attack in the street. Moreover, there were more than ten of the Zhang family guards beside him. Although he was quite skilled, he was old and weak after all, and his spells were not geared towards fighting and attacking. He did not know if he could deal with these guards just by himself.

For a moment, both sides were in a stalemate.

The commoners who were also queuing outside the Ye family mansion watched curiously. Although they did not know what was going on, it did not stop them from joining in the fun.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew.

Huu…

Everyone looked up and saw Zhou Jing riding the wind. He flew out of the Ye family and landed lightly in between the two groups of people.

“It’s Perfected Master Windwalker!”

Many citizens hurriedly knelt down in excitement.

Zhang Wentao quickly changed his expression and went forward to greet him, “Greetings, Perfected One.”

Zhou Jing nodded in return. Then, he looked around before his gaze finally landed on Mei Zhanqing.

“Are you treating our Ye Family as nothing by confronting us in front of the Ye Family entrance?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants of the Ye family, who were hesitating and watching from the side, trembled. They were excited and surprised, and their faces were filled with honor.

The Perfected One actually took the initiative to protect our Ye family?!

Hua la la ——

In an instant, a large number of guards surged out of the Ye family’s mansion, separating the Zhang family and Wei Zifu’s group. They protected Zhou Jing in the middle, looking like they were saying, “Whoever dares to touch the Perfected One will be going against our Ye family.” They only listened to Zhou Jing and waited for his order at any time. All of them looked as though they would attack without hesitation.

Immediately after, Zhou Jing looked at Zhang Wentao, whose expression had changed slightly.

“This Priest Wei is my esteemed guest. Benefactor Zhang, don’t bully him. While I’m not talented, I’m willing to be a witness. Whether I’m upright or not, I have my own judgment. If there’s anything, you both can speak properly in front of me!”
