"Yes, we can't rely on the law of the king, and we can't expect the justice of heaven. It seems that we can only rely on ourselves!" Xiaopang then sneered.
"Master, will you allow me to take revenge?" Zhang Derong couldn't help but said in surprise after hearing this.
"I have just injected some magic power into Master Pang's body. Although it's not much, with your strength, it's impossible to hurt him again!" Xiaopang shook his head.
"What should we do?" Zhang Derong said in great grief and anger after hearing this.
"Well, since I'm already involved in this, let me just end it! Just follow me!" Xiaopang said, and strode out.
When Master Pang and the others outside saw Xiao Pang coming out, they immediately surrounded him. Master Pang smiled and said, "Master, do you know what the ghost is inside?"
"I've seen the ghost inside. He said his name is Zhang Derong!" Xiaopang said, staring into Master Pang's eyes.
Upon hearing these three words, Master Pang's face changed slightly, but then returned to normal and said nonchalantly: "Zhang Derong? Who is that? Why haven't I heard of him?" As he spoke, he also asked the people around him.
The people around had already been shocked by Xiaopang's words, but after being reminded by Master Pang, they immediately came to their senses and shook their heads and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it!" Although they said this, the panic expressions on their faces betrayed their inner thoughts.
Looking at their ugly appearance, Xiao Pang sneered and said, "Is that really the case? Zhang Derong, tell me!"
"They are lying!" The excited Zhang Derong rushed out from the shadows regardless of the sunlight outside, pointed at Master Pang's nose and cursed: "You old thief, you have ruined my family just for the sake of coveting my family's famous paintings! I will fight you!" As he said that, he rushed forward.
"Ah!" Master Pang was frightened by Zhang Derong's ferocious face and his face turned pale. When he saw the other party rushing towards him, he had no time to dodge and could only shout, "Master, save me, save me!"
Xiao Pang naturally didn't bother to pay attention. However, Master Pang didn't do anything. Instead, Zhang Derong was shocked by the spiritual energy contained in Master Pang the moment he met him. At the same time, he let out a shrill scream, obviously injured by the spiritual energy.
Seeing this situation, Master Pang was surprised and delighted. Then he was no longer afraid. Instead, he smiled and said proudly: "Haha, I am a person protected by righteousness. You, a mere evil spirit, can't do anything to me!"
"He can't do anything to you, so what can I do?" Xiaopang suddenly sneered.
"Ah?" After hearing this, Master Pang immediately asked in surprise, "Why are you saying that, Immortal? You are here to protect me, aren't you?"
"You are the Grand Master, but for your own selfishness, you have ruined the family. You are such a despicable person, and you still have the nerve to ask me to protect you?" Xiao Pang sneered, "Do you think that my Xuantian Villa is a lackey who helps the tyrant to do evil?"
"Master, what you said is wrong!" Seeing this, Master Pang hurriedly said, "Master, you are a Taoist master, and all you seek is the way of heaven and the way of man. From the perspective of heaven, this person is a vicious ghost that harms people. As a master, you should eliminate this evil from the world. From the perspective of humanity, I have a very good relationship with your Xuantian Temple, and I have always been filial to you. Even if it is for the sake of the friendship between the two families, you should help me. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Master should stand on my side, instead of associating with this evil ghost that harms people!"
"Haha, you are worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty!" After hearing the other party's brilliant sophistry, Xiaopang couldn't help but admire him and said, "The way of heaven and the way of man, you have completely wronged it!"
"You are too kind, Immortal! I am just a fool!" Seeing that Xiao Pang had calmed down, Master Pang thought that he had persuaded him, so he immediately continued, "This time, Immortal saved me from the water and fire. I am very grateful. I will definitely give you a heavy gift to repay you." As he said this, he also glanced coldly at Zhang Derong who was hiding in the shadows. The meaning couldn't be clearer. If you help me, you will get benefits, but if you help that ghost, I am afraid you will not get anything. Where to go? Is there any need to ask?
Facing Master Pang's temptation, Xiao Pang did not respond directly. He just put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, paused for a moment, and then said lightly: "Whether it's the way of heaven or the way of man, in fact, they don't agree with me! It's not my way!"
After hearing this, Master Pang's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself that something was wrong. He hurriedly asked, "What is the immortal's Tao?"
"My way is not the way of heaven, nor the way of man, but the way of myself. I only seek to have a clear conscience, clear thoughts, and point the sword to my heart!" Xiao Pang said proudly. After that, he did not give Master Pang any more chance to talk nonsense. He stretched out his finger, and the Golden Eagle Sword appeared instantly, turning into a golden sword light more than ten feet long, sweeping horizontally. Master Pang, his three sons and six sons-in-law, and other messy people, all those in this courtyard, without exception, were all cut in half!
These people did not die immediately after being beheaded. They wailed in pain, rolled left and right, and their blood and intestines were all over the ground. But Master Pang glared at Xiao Pang with his eyes, and kept saying, "You, you, how are you?" Before he finished speaking, he died.
"Hahaha, they're all dead at last!" Zhang Derong was so excited upon seeing this that he jumped and danced in the sun, totally unconcerned about the damage the sun was causing to his Yin energy.
Seeing this, Xiao Pang sighed and said, "Zhang Derong, now that you have avenged your great hatred and your resentment has subsided, I'm afraid you can no longer maintain this ghost body!"
"Haha, so what? I don't want to be a ghost anyway, so I'll just go down there and reunite with my family!" Zhang Derong said, and then he knelt on the ground: "My benefactor! Zhang Derong has nothing to repay you with, but this painting "Moon Over Spring River" is something I can show off, and I'm willing to give it to you!"
"You underestimate me!" Xiao Pang said calmly, "If it's for the sake of things, I'll help Master Pang kill you and get more!"
"Yes, yes, I know. But if you don't take the painting away, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of some relative of Grand Tutor Pang. I, I really can't accept that!" Zhang Derong said.
"Is that so? Do you have any relatives?" Xiaopang said, "The Moon Over the Spring River is your family heirloom. I can help you return it to your family!"
"My benefactor, I will never forget your kindness to my family!" Zhang Derong then said, "I have a cousin in my hometown who is also a descendant of the Zhang family. He is a loyal person and knows what you have done for my family. He will definitely give you everything he has to repay you!"
"I said, I don't want your thank-you gifts. Mortal things are useless to cultivators like us. I do this just because I want to." After saying this, Xiaopang didn't waste any more words. After asking for the address of Zhang Derong's hometown and his cousin's name, he put away the "Moon Over the Spring River" and flew away on his sword, turning invisible.
As for Zhang Derong, after his great revenge was achieved and his resentment dissipated, he soon disappeared between heaven and earth and was reincarnated.
