Chapter 71 Golden Light Master
Two days after the decisive battle at the Lu family.
The sun had just crossed the mountain ridge.
On an unnamed gravelly mountain road about twenty miles from Lujia Town.
Four figures were walking southwest under the sun.
At the very front was an old man with thinning hair.
Ghost Hand King.
His current appearance is no longer as slovenly as when he first met Li Cunzhen in the small town at the foot of the mountain. His mandarin jacket is clean and tidy, his sparse hair on his head shows signs of combing, and even his wrinkles seem to have faded a lot.
On the surface, Ghost Hand King doesn't look like a Quanxing demon, but rather like a kind old man next door.
Of course, if someone with a keen eye looks closely, they can still discover the unique arrogance and eccentricity of the Ghost Hand King deep in his eyes.
He suppressed part of his personality simply so that the story could be passed down from all directions.
The only remaining malevolent aura had truly vanished because of the saving of eight hundred people.
Ghost Hand King walked along the mountain path, clutching a letter in his arms.
Three people followed behind him.
The closest person was a young man.
The young man wore a tattered short jacket that had been washed until it was almost white, with loose threads at the shoulders. His hair was neither long nor short, sticking out spiky on his forehead, giving him a carefree and reckless look.
At the very back were an old man and a young man.
The old man was a Taoist priest. His robe was tattered and filthy, as if it had never been washed. His cloth shoes were also worn through.
The youngest was a little girl wearing round-framed glasses. She was the weakest and struggled to keep up with the others. Her face was covered in sweat, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound.
At this moment, the four of them had just crossed a small hill.
Ghost Hand King paused, then pulled the letter from his pocket.
Then he turned his head, his narrow eyes glancing sideways at the young man in the short jacket beside him.
"Here's the news that just came from the Lu family. I want to see if they'll agree to let you go."
The young man with the short patch didn't reply and continued walking at his own unhurried pace.
Seeing his expression, Ghost Hand King felt a little bored, pursed his lips, and brought the letter closer to his eyes.
His gaze swept over the first line of text.
Suddenly, his mocking gaze froze, the wrinkles on his face twitched, and his eyes revealed obvious surprise.
"Hey! Wugensheng, you're really something! They're willing to give you a guarantee."
Ghost Hand King couldn't help but praise him.
The young man called Wugensheng remained unmoved by these words, not even flinching.
He remained expressionless as he stared at the mountain path ahead, nodding slightly without any reaction, as if the contents of the letter in Ghost Hand King's hand had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Ghost Hand King frowned, took a big step forward, and blocked Wugensheng's path.
"What on earth are you thinking, kid?"
"That's Lu Family Town! All the prestigious sects in the world are eyeing that place. Now that the letter has given a guarantee, you should at least breathe a sigh of relief. Why are you standing there like a wooden statue, not moving an inch?"
Wugensheng stopped and looked at Ghost Hand King, who was blocking the middle of the road.
He spread his hands and smiled faintly.
"Whether the Celestial Master and the Left Sect Leader approve or not, I will go to witness it. It's a matter of accepting predestined connections, and I am also the acting leader of your Quanxing Sect!"
"How could the sect leader be absent from such a lively event?"
Wugensheng began to explain to Ghost Hand King, his voice low but calm.
"I asked you to send this letter simply as a courtesy from a guest."
"You can't just show up uninvited without saying hello."

Upon hearing this...
Ghost Hand King curled his lips and let out a cold snort.
"Alright! Kid! You're pretty arrogant! I've been roaming the martial world for most of my life, and I've never seen anyone more ignorant of their own limitations than you."
"No wonder even that old fellow, Venerable Jin Guang, is willing to follow you around everywhere."
At this point, Ghost Hand King suddenly paused.
He pointed to himself and corrected himself loudly.
"However, you're wrong about one thing."
"I'm not Quanxing anymore!"
"Li Xiaozhi and Zuo Ruotong are willing to vouch for me, which is more than enough. If I were to continue following you and ruin their reputation, wouldn't I be worse than an animal?"
Before Ghost Hand King could finish speaking, and before Wugensheng could even reply...
The old Taoist priest known as Master Jin Guang, who had been trailing behind, caught up and said with a smile.
"Old Wang, don't talk nonsense! It's not that I, Venerable Jin Guang, insisted on following him! It was Wu Gengsheng who insisted that I follow him!"
"He begged me for ages, crying and saying that as long as I was there, if anything really went wrong, at least I could run faster! For me, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"
Upon hearing this, Wugensheng gave a bitter smile.
He reached out and patted the Golden Light Master's shoulder hard, then sighed.
"Old Taoist Jin Guang, I am still your sect leader."
"We're walking on the main road right here. When we're out in public, you should at least give me some face."
However, upon hearing this, Venerable Jin Guang twisted his mouth, straightened his neck, and loudly emphasized.
"The successor! The successor of the sect leader!"
Wugensheng was speechless, but shook his head with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
Ghost Hand King stood aside and watched.
Suddenly, he pointed to the little girl with glasses who was following at the back and asked again.
"Jin Guang, I remember that your escape techniques are not very good. You usually get exhausted just by carrying one extra person with you."
"If something really happens after we get to Lujia Town, what do you plan to do with this little girl? Leave her there as a snack for the righteous sects?"
As far as Ghost Hand King knows, the Golden Light Master's technique is called Golden Escape Flowing Light, which is derived from the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
They can travel a thousand miles a day, or even cross several provinces in half an hour.
It's far more powerful than any of those tricks like Jia Ma.
However, the consumption is also enormous.
At full speed, Master Jin Guang can only travel about a thousand miles a day. If he wants to carry people, he will have to use some life-burning pills or methods.
Not to mention bringing two people.
He, Venerable Jin Guang, absolutely does not have that ability.
Master Jinguang was about to speak.
Wugensheng spoke first.
"Don't worry about Jin Feng, she wanted to come along herself."
The little girl, called Jin Feng, instantly became determined upon hearing her name.
She looked at Ghost Hand King as if to testify for Wugensheng.
"That's right! I followed the sect leader voluntarily! If anything happens, it's my own fate, not the sect leader's problem. I didn't come here to be a burden."
Ghost Hand King stared in surprise at the little girl who was barely taller than a car wheel.
He then shook his head with a wry smile.
"You little girl, you're really quite infatuated. He doesn't even care about you, but you're still rushing headlong into this mess."

He really couldn't understand what kind of magic Wugensheng possessed that could make Jinfeng follow him so devotedly.
