C779 Good-bye Old Charlatan

After Lee Zhuohua left City Lord's Mansion, he planned to find a place to settle down first. He now knew where Demon Lord had gone to. Originally, he wanted to go to Demon Realm through the teleportation array in City Lord's Mansion.

But he hadn't expected the lord of the city to ask him for such a thing, so he didn't bring up the matter of using the portal. He thought that he would wait until he had settled the matter of the successor, and then he would think that the other wouldn't refuse.

"What the hell is this power of faith? I feel like my bottleneck is loosening just by absorbing the power of faith from someone else. If I absorb the power of faith from a world, wouldn't I be able to become a god?" Lee Zhuohua walked along the road while thinking about the power of faith.

The Moonlight Sect had always been very mysterious, and rarely showed itself in front of the public. After Lee Zhuohua found out that the Moonlight Sect had the power of faith, he felt that there was something wrong with this force.

"But while the power of faith has a mysterious effect, it doesn't seem to last long. If those who provide it no longer believe it, not only will it vanish, but it will damage those who provide it." Lee Zhuohua had discovered this flaw when he came into contact with the power of faith.

But if this kind of power was extremely powerful, it could create countless experts. It was also an extremely terrifying thing.

Just as Lee Zhuohua was thinking about the power of faith.

"Don't run, you old fraud. Give me back my money. You damned liar." A curse came from afar.

Lee Zhuohua lifted his head and saw the old man who gave him the Secret Book being chased by a group of people. He looked extremely miserable.

Lee Zhuohua did not expect to meet him here again, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to have deceived a lot of people. He shook his head and walked over.

"It's you? Kid, on account of the fact that I gave you a peerless divine technique, quickly help me. These bunch of ignorant fellows have no idea what treasure I gave them." When the old swindler saw Lee Zhuohua, he was also stunned for a moment and then said anxiously.

Seeing the old fortune-teller like this, Lee Zhuohua laughed.

"What are you laughing about? Hurry up and help me stop this group of people. Otherwise, my old bones will die in their hands." The old swindler said unhappily when he saw Lee Zhuohua smiling.

The men who had been chasing him had also come running, and when they saw that the old man had stopped running, they thought that he couldn't run any longer, but they had chased him for several blocks and still hadn't caught up with him, which made them furious.

Now that they had caught up to him, they had to teach this old swindler a good lesson. However, they also saw Lee Zhuohua at the side.

"This has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way. This old brat cheated us." The person shouted at Lee Zhuohua, telling him to move to the side.

As for the old swindler, he used Lee Zhuohua as a shield and hid behind him.

Seeing this, the smile on Lee Zhuohua's face also disappeared.

"How much money did he cheat you? I'll give it to you on his behalf." Lee Zhuohua said.

"Quickly get out of the way! You will... Wait? You said you will return it to him for him? " The person thought that Lee Zhuohua was not going to move aside. He was about to berate him again before he reacted to Lee Zhuohua's words.

"Yes, I'll return it for him. Tell me, how much money did he cheat you?" Lee Zhuohua said with a calm expression.

After confirming that Lee Zhuohua wasn't lying to them, the man rubbed his hands and walked over.

"We have five people. He sold us five lousy books for ten taels of silver each." The man said.

Lee Zhuohua didn't say anything when he heard that. He directly took out a gold ingot from his pocket and threw it over. This was what he had obtained from Ma Zhangfeng when he was in Gu Yang.

That person was caught off guard by Lee Zhuohua's actions. After receiving the gold, he finally saw the thing in his hand.

He did not expect that Lee Zhuohua would be so generous. He directly threw out a handful of gold, which far exceeded the fifty taels of silver. His face revealed a greedy expression, and his companions also quickly approached him.

"All right, let's go." Lee Zhuohua said with a calm expression. He did not care about the value of the gold at all.

"Hey, hey, alright. Let's just forget about this matter." The man was afraid that Lee Zhuohua would go back on his word, so he quickly put away the gold and turned around to leave with the others.

After these people left, the old swindler walked out from behind Lee Zhuohua.

"Phew, you scared me to death. I thought I was going to die here today." The old swindler let out a long breath and turned to look at Lee Zhuohua: "I didn't expect you to be so rich. I still have a few Secret Books here, how about you give me gold too? I'll sell them all to you."

Seeing the old swindler's appearance, Lee Zhuohua was also a little speechless.

"I said, stop pretending. Even if I am not here, these people will not be able to catch up to you. I just can't understand why you would be like this with these ordinary people." Lee Zhuohua stared at the old swindler and said.

He had already sensed the aura of a cultivator from the old swindler's body. In his senses, the old swindler was at least at the Earth Surge Realm. It was a bit strange for a cultivator to be chased by a group of ordinary people.

"What am I pretending for?" The old fraud shouted.

"Let me ask you, what is your relationship with the Moonlight Sect?" Lee Zhuohua suddenly asked. He always felt that this old fraud had some sort of connection with the Moonlight Sect. From the cultivation technique that he gave him, it could be seen that this person seemed to be collecting the power of faith.

The cultivation method described in the peerless art was to provide one's faith to a powerful individual and receive the power of feedback from him.

When the old swindler heard Lee Zhuohua's question, his expression changed slightly, and his entire temperament changed.

"I didn't expect that you would find out. Who are you?" The old swindler's entire aura began to radiate. He looked at Lee Zhuohua and said calmly.

Looking at the other party's appearance, the corner of Lee Zhuohua's mouth raised into a smile.

"It's not important who I am. It's just that you spread your Secret Books around so that you can absorb the power of faith from others. If I'm not mistaken, you are the target of visualization in those techniques." Lee Zhuohua said with a smile that was not a smile.

When he heard Lee Zhuohua reveal the secret of his cultivation technique, the old swindler immediately frowned.

His goal was indeed what Lee Zhuohua had said. The purpose of spreading the Secret Book was to absorb the Power of Faith of others, but how did the other party find out? He felt that this was strange. The Power of Faith was unique to Moonlight Sect. How did the other party know that he was from Moonlight Sect? Could it be that the other party had come into contact with people from Moonlight Sect?

"Seems like you have dealt with that kid Jee Yichuan," said the old fraudster, his eyes narrowing.

"That's quite accurate. If I'm not mistaken, you are the one who will succeed the position of the city lord," Lee Zhuohua said.

"Jee Yichuan even told you this? It seems that he intends to ask you for help. When the time comes, stand up and oppose me. I just can't figure out what ability you have to help him." The expression in the old man's eyes changed.

"Hahaha." Hearing the old swindler's words, Lee Zhuohua laughed.

Following that, a tyrannical aura spread out from his body. This aura swept across the old fraud's body, causing his expression to change once again.
