Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Who else could this person be if not Yi Chen?

To facilitate his actions, he deliberately changed into the attire of the Sky-Turning Falcon from Ping'an County.

However, after wandering around Lingyang City for quite a while, he hadn't found a single clue. Instead, he happened to see two chubby girls with four underlings bullying a boy.

Listening carefully, it turned out that the two girls were bullying a mute girl in a private school, and this average Joe of a little boy stood up for her.

How could he tolerate this? He was already feeling irritable.

Just as Yi Chen was about to step in, he heard the little boy suddenly start chanting "three, two, one" as if he knew Yi Chen would intervene.

This infuriated him, so he deliberately slowed down his response.

Without a word, he restrained his strength, and in a flash, the six of them, including the chubby girls, found themselves pummeled against the wall. They plastered there for a while before sliding down.

All six spat out a mouthful of broken teeth.

The chubby girl immediately burst into loud sobs.

Yi Chen had no intention of holding back just because the chubby girl was a child – although children are like flowers, some flowers are born as poppy buds, which are poisonous and are they really worth cherishing and protecting?

Thinking of the juvenile delinquent protection laws from his previous life, Yi Chen felt his blood boil.

The four enforcers struggled to stand up. One of them, who seemed to be a leader, said viciously, "Outsider, you… you've messed with our Young Miss. You're done for, just wait to be fed to the fishes in the Emerald River."

This person had his mouthful of teeth knocked out by Yi Chen, which made his speech whistling and unclear. He pulled out a firecracker, lit it with a firestarter, and tossed it into the air.

"You… you wait, if you dare, don't run away," another one threatened.

Yi Chen folded his arms and coldly observed their actions.

He was speechless for a moment.

He thought he would be fishing, but never imagined that with his current cultivation, he would still have to fight with mortal gangs…

Really, what an accomplishment.

These fools had no idea how hard he worked to only knock out their teeth with a slap without taking their lives.

"Who is this loser, daring to hit the daughter of our Fierce Tiger Gang's boss, you're tired of living…"
Your journey continues on empire

A middle-aged man with a slight amount of Inner Qi and wielding a firewood knife rushed over with a dozen brothers, each armed with eyebrow sticks.

They arrived with bluster, but upon seeing Yi Chen's figure, they all sucked in a breath of cold air, their curses stuck in their throat, unable to utter another word.

The man with the firewood knife mustered his courage and said, "Hero, which path are you from? We're all brothers on the road; surely we can speak openly."

"I'm from the road? Are you blind, can't you see I'm a monk? I'm the master of a Taoist temple," Yi Chen pointed to his nose and said in surprise.

The Fierce Tiger Gang members, looking at Yi Chen dressed in brocade robes and with arms thicker than their waists, fell into contemplation.

Soon enough, they didn't need to think anymore. A series of cracking sounds followed, and a dozen or so people ended up stacked against the wall like a pagoda, each with broken bones at the least.

"Dare to retaliate against this little boy and I'll kill your whole gang. I'll pay a visit to your boss in a couple of days if I'm free. The name 'Fierce Tiger Gang' doesn't sound very lucky," Yi Chen said as he turned a firewood knife into iron powder with a kick, then walked away with the little boy, leaving only wails behind.

Taoist Yi Chengzi always saw his good deeds through to the end; he was not the type to only please himself.

The little girl from Mu Yang County was handled this way.

And so was this little boy.

Some young heroes don't play by the martial code – after making a name for themselves, they just leave, and once they're gone, the bullies come back and kill the victims...

"It's still up to me," Yi Chen secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

"Taoist Yi, big brother, never mind them, they don't dare to take revenge," Duck Egg suddenly spoke up.

In an instant, Yi Chen's pupils shook violently.

This ordinary child was able to see through his disguise, an event more surprising to him than speculators going to Heigang to speculate on houses or looking for sister Shuangzi at postpartum care centers to place orders.

It truly was an encounter with a ghost.

"Taoist big brother, you're a good person. You should run away quickly in the next two days. There will be a massive disaster in Lingyang City soon, with many, many people dying," Duck Egg said, sniffling.

"I've told many people, but they don't believe me," Duck Egg said, sniveling.

What the hell, this is a ghost!

Yi Chen's pupils shook again ~

"I believe you!" Yi Chen nodded in response.

…

…

In Lingyang City, Mu district.

In the courtyard of a certain residence.

The evening breeze was gentle, and Ming Yue (the bright moon) hung high in the sky, as if draping a light gauze over the earth.

Yi Chen sat opposite a little boy who sniffled incessantly while wearing a padded jacket, on a table laden with all sorts of melons, fruits, preserved sweets, and snacks bought by Yi Chen.

Duck Egg was devouring the food ravenously.

Yi Chen looked at the little boy in front of him with a complex expression.

It was an encounter with a ghost; such things still happened in the world. According to Duck Egg, he was fishing in the Emerald River when he reeled in a red fruit. It looked like a wild fruit to him, and following the principle of not wasting, he ate it because he hadn't caught anything that day and didn't want to return empty-handed.

After hearing the description of the red fruit and Duck Egg's abnormal reactions, Yi Chen was more than 90% certain that what Duck Egg had fished out of the Emerald River was the third-ranked supernatural item on the list of heavenly and earthly wonders, the Creation Mysterious Yuan Fruit.

Such information about the wonders of heaven and earth was naturally a focus of Yi Chen's intensive study in the Scripture Pavilion at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The Creation Mysterious Yuan Fruit, once consumed, could predict the future, witnessing many fragments of it. It's miraculous, enabling the user to choose the best course of action and reap all the benefits.

However, this kind of fortune was a burdensome gift for Duck Egg; without mana and a weak spirit, he was passively sustaining the consumption by burning his life force.
