Hotel Manager: “…”

He looked at the mess and ruins before him, feeling as if his heart was bleeding! Although he was just the hotel lobby manager, in reality, the hotel was run by his family and was meant for him to inherit. He knew very well the amount of money spent to build the main hot spring pool!

Several million…

Gone!

However, when his gaze shifted to the “corpses” lying on the ground, he couldn’t help but jump up, his eyes red, and scream: “What is that? What is that? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t kill anyone?”

Without the hot spring, it could be rebuilt. At worst, business would be delayed for a while, as the hotel guests were tourists from all over the country who were transient anyway, so they didn’t fear not having people to stay!

But if a dozen people really died today, how the hell would you run a hotel?

Xu Yang: “…”

It was at that point that he remembered the receptionist and the dozen or so disciples of the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple!

The Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple, with his “spiritual splitting,” had possessed them and hid in the nearby towns and cities, bewitching people’s hearts.

To deal with Xu Yang, he had gathered these people, merging their forms as one.

As for those who had been “possessed ” by him, they had fainted after the “Gray Mist” left their bodies, all lying on the ground, as many as eighteen people.

“It’s over!”

Xu Yang’s heart skipped a beat!

The aftermath of the battle was too strong, and he had forgotten about these people, fearing that they were already dead.

He immediately went over to check and found that they still had a heartbeat and were just unconscious. He was relieved and straightened up, saying indifferently, “What are you yelling about? They’re not dead, just unconscious… I said I wouldn’t kill anyone, and I absolutely won’t kill anyone. Rest assured!”

“Are they really not dead?”

The lobby manager was overjoyed, and upon checking, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, hotel staff and startled guests rushed over. Xu Yang took out his badge with a casual wave, saying, “Criminal police team is investigating, bystanders must leave immediately… don’t take photos, don’t take videos!” Someone had just taken out their phone.

They saw a beautiful girl, holding a watermelon knife and cursing: “Fucking hell, they said no photos and no videos, is Xu Yang’s word just a fart to you?” “Put it away, or I’ll cut you!”

The scene was soon cleared.

The hotel guests and staff, each wearing a bewildered expression, left just as bewildered.

As for Xu Yang’s claim of a “criminal police team investigating,” most people didn’t believe it!

What kind of case were they handling?

Would the criminal police team handling a case cause such a commotion?

Was the suspect carrying a bomb?

Just now, there were lightning and thunder, and people yelling, saying things hke “destroy my golden body” and “the world can’t contain me”… many guests heard it all too clearly!

Besides, since when do criminal police team members wear Daoist robes when handling cases?

Of course.

How they felt was up to them.

Xu Yang didn’t care about how to deal with the aftermath. That was Zhou Jie’s responsibility to handle.

Once the crowd had dispersed, Xu Yang took out his phone and called Zhou Jie explaining truthfully: “I’m at the Lintong Yuet Chun Hot Springs Hotel. The ’ Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple tried to kill me, but I took him down… however, there was a bit of a commotion and the hotel’s hot spring was blown up. Send someone to handle it and discuss compensation with the hotel.”

Hearing the word “compensation,” the heartbroken hotel lobby manager’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly approached, saying, “Sir… will you really compensate?”

“Of course!”

Xu Yang impatiently pushed the lobby manager away, saying, “We are members of a secret state organization, dedicated to protecting the country and the safety of the people… with such an incident happening, we will naturally not wrong you.”

“Someone will come to handle this matter soon. Call for the security guards to bring these eighteen people to the hotel lobby, and I will treat them.”

With that said, Xu Yang left with Liu Shishi and Yun Mengxi without looking back.

Arriving at the hotel, Xu Yang lit a cigarette and sat down in the lobby.

Meanwhile, Yun Mengxi and Liu Shishi returned to their rooms.

Before long, hotel staff brought the unconscious eighteen people to the hotel lobby.

The eighteen people were laid out in a straight line, creating an impressive scene.

There were still some guests in the lobby, and they were incredibly curious about the situation, wanting to take out their smartphones to capture the moment. However, Xu Yang stopped them with a single glance… now that he was so skilled in Taoist arts, his gaze held intense pressure for ordinary people! “Master… what’s going on with these people?”

The lobby manager trotted over to Xu Yang and said, “Their breathing and heartbeats are normal, but they can’t be awakened no matter how hard we try I tried to resuscitate them, but it didn’t work.”

His address to Xu Yang had changed.

After all, at this moment, Xu Yang wore a Daoist robe, possessed an extraordinary temperament, and indeed looked like a wise man.

Xu Yang glanced at the unconscious people on the ground and noticed one had a broken upper lip, bleeding, and a swollen face with distinct fingerprint marks.

What the hell!

Is this resuscitation?

Pinching the Renzhong acupoint?

Slapping their face?

More importantly, you’ve pinched their lips and slapped their faces so damn hard!

Of course, they were already very lucky.
