Chapter 747: Chapter 561 Night Exploration Outside Jinling Town

"Yue’er, of course I trust Brother’s abilities!"

Upon hearing Wang Yang’s question, Su Yue eagerly replied. In her heart, Wang Yang was capable of anything, but the Black Water Mysterious Snake was a Great Demon that could fight an Earth Immortal after all, so she couldn’t help but worry a bit.

"Alright, I understand you’re worried about my safety, but a mere little snake like this, Brother Wang can suppress it with a flip of my hand, you can rest easy."

Wang Yang naturally knew Su Yue’s concerns and reassured her with a smile.

"Mm!"

Thus, the two of them hurried on their way, heading towards Western Suburb Town three hundred miles away.

Two hundred miles from Western Suburb Town lies Jinling Town!

At this time, the sun had already set, and darkness was gradually enveloping the sky.

Wang Yang looked up at the sky and then turned to Su Yue.

"Yue’er, let’s stay in Jinling Town for tonight!"

They had been traveling the whole way, and it was time for a rest. Although Wang Yang wasn’t tired, Su Yue seemed somewhat fatigued.

"Mm! I’ll listen to Brother!"

Su Yue nodded obediently. Whatever Wang Yang said, she would follow.

Wang Yang smiled and led Su Yue into Jinling Town.

Surveying his surroundings, Wang Yang found that Jinling Town was not large, but it was very lively. At this sunset hour, the streets of the town were still bustling with traffic and crowded with people.

Su Yue followed closely behind Wang Yang, afraid to get lost, but her big eyes couldn’t stop looking around curiously.

"Sugar Man, Sugar Man, two coins each!"

"Top-quality silk fabrics, don’t miss out if you pass by!"

"Rouge and face powder from the Capital City’s Hundred Flowers Place. Would you like to try it, miss?"

"Precious porcelain, tenfold refund if fake!"

"..."

From both sides of the street, ceaseless hawkers’ cries and vendors’ shouts rang out. The dazzling array of goods overwhelmed Su Yue.

"Young master, this is the jewelry most adored by the officials and nobles in Luoyang City. It’s the genuine article, won’t you let the miss have a look?"

As they walked, they passed a jewelry stall when a middle-aged woman called out to Wang Yang.

It must be said, the middle-aged woman had a keen eye, instantly recognizing Wang Yang’s extraordinary demeanor. Although he was not dressed in brocade robe and luxurious clothes, his noble bearing was impossible to conceal.

That’s what made him stand out from the endless crowd.

Wang Yang stopped walking, and before he could speak, Su Yue eagerly stepped forward, her eyes revealing barely concealed excitement as she gazed at the sparkling jewelry.

"Ah!"

Wang Yang let out a wry smile and sighed. His fingers curved slightly, and a strong suction force suddenly burst from his palm, grabbing a few pebbles by the roadside in his hand.

Spiritual Energy surged, and in an instant, the pebbles slowly took on a layer of gold, turning into bars of gold.

Turning stone into gold!

The woman naturally didn’t notice Wang Yang’s sleight of hand, as she was earnestly introducing the adornments to Su Yue.

"Miss, you are a natural beauty, this glazed jade hairpin suits your temperament perfectly!"

"Really?"

"Would I dare to deceive the miss? Let me put it on for you!"

Upon hearing Su Yue’s interest, the woman promptly reached out to help Su Yue put on the jade hairpin, and moved the bronze mirror over conveniently.

It had to be said, Su Yue was truly a beautiful woman. As she donned the golden glazed jade hairpin, her elegant demeanor became instantly apparent.

"So beautiful! This jade hairpin seems like it was custom-made for the miss!"

Seeing the smile on Su Yue’s face, the woman eagerly spoke again, encouraging her enthusiasm.

Su Yue looked in the mirror, liking it more and more, but hesitated to ask the price, prompting the owner’s gaze to shift to Wang Yang.

"Young master! What do you think?"

The woman’s intentions could hardly escape Wang Yang’s eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a bar of gold landed in the woman’s hand.

"Is this enough?"

"Enough, more than enough! Would the young master like to select any other ornaments for the miss?"

Wang Yang’s lavish spending impressed the woman, such a grand gesture surely came from a prestigious family!

A bar of gold was enough to buy half her stall!

"Yue’er, would you like to look at others?"

Yue’er shook her head, and Wang Yang didn’t pursue further. Turning to the woman, he asked.

"May I ask the lady, how do I get to the best inn in this town?"

"Is the young master a traveler from afar?"

Upon Wang Yang’s inquiry, the woman’s expression subtly changed, and she cautiously asked back.

Wang Yang noticed the change in the woman’s demeanor and nodded slightly, awaiting her explanation.

"This humble one doesn’t know where you are heading, but could I please implore the young master not to head west?"

"Why is that?"

Wang Yang’s curiosity piqued upon hearing the woman’s words.

The woman glanced around before leaning in to whisper softly.

"The young master may not be aware, but there is a dilapidated temple on the west side of Jinling Town. At night, it is fraught with illusions, said to contain the burials of wronged spirits that prey on the soul energy of passersby!"

"Especially men with strong yang energies like the young master!"

"Oh? You’re saying it happens at night, so I can walk there during the day, right?"

"Not during the day, either. These wronged spirits are not afraid of the sunlight and can alter the route westward, leading travelers into ghostly paths of the Underworld, never to return!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang became even more curious. Wronged spirits not fearing sunlight might mean they had become enlightened, stepping into the Cultivation Realm!

"How long has this been going on? Haven’t you reported this to the Imperial Court, or hasn’t the local Prefect intervened to resolve it?"

Wang Yang couldn’t help but ask. In this Square World where Demons and Ghosts roam without fear, the power of the Imperial Court and the Royal Family to suppress them was not minor, especially the military, which sought military glory by hunting Demons and Monsters. How could they ignore such matters?
