Under the night sky.

Even though the Faceless Sui Demon had no facial features, it could clearly sense fear at this moment.

The person in front of it was peeling its skin alive without a care for his own life, making him seem more like a demon than the Sui Demon itself.

At the same time, it felt that it should have checked the almanac before leaving home tonight.

Out of four targets, it had the misfortune to pick the toughest one to deal with.

"Not done yet? That's not going to work," Li Shiwuwu tossed another shriveled, hollow face to the ground.

Seeing this, the Sui Demon was at a loss for words.

It didn't want to stick to the yellow paper contract either.

But its existence in this world was based on signing contracts, peeling faces, getting paid, and repeating the cycle.

Therefore, it couldn't break the rules.

"Master, Daoist Master!"

"I'm begging you, please stop peeling, okay?"

The towering figure, like a small giant, actually knelt down.

With a sobbing voice, it continued, "I'm out of money, really out of money."

"I changed my face to a woman's and sang in the brothels of Tang City for a hundred years, trying every way to save up that much gold."

"I spent it all, it's all gone, boo hoo..."

At this moment.

In the distance, the old monk and the other two, even the woman from the Ten Aspects Sect, were all dumbfounded, their eyes twitching uncontrollably.

Even Li Shiwuwu paused his actions.

He just felt that this thing in front of him was incredibly bizarre.

"Uh, so what now?" he couldn't help but ask.

The Faceless Sui Demon, still crying, replied, "You've peeled thirty-two faces, and I've only paid you two hundred gold."

"Therefore, I still owe you one hundred and twenty gold."

"Next, I must repay the gold within a year, or I'll be erased by the life contract..."

Li Shiwuwu acknowledged with a sound, then resumed peeling faces.

"In that case, let's round it up to two hundred gold."

In the distance.

The woman from the Ten Aspects Sect's eyes sparkled, and she casually asked, "What's that Daoist's name?"

The Basket Woman replied, "Reporting to you, it's Li Shiwuwu."

The woman nodded, took out her pen, and opened a white booklet to start writing.

'Dayao, within the borders of Bingzhou, Tang City.'

'There is a Faceless Sui Demon peeling skin and harming people, causing countless deaths and injuries.'

'There is a Daoist named Li Shiwuwu, with a face like the moon of mid-autumn, a complexion like the flowers of spring dawn, tall and graceful, like an immortal descended to the mortal world.'

'The two met, and battled for ten days and nights.'

'In the end, the Sui Demon bowed its head and was executed, honoring the deceased.'

'Only my Fifteen Dao Lord, with a robe as black as ink, remained unstained by dust.'

Hearing the woman muttering to herself, the young man with the sword couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What the hell?"

"That Li guy, even a dog looks better than him, and you call him like an immortal?"

"And look at him, covered in blood like a demon, and you say his clothes are unstained by dust?"

However, the Basket Woman frantically signaled him to stop talking.

In the scene.

Li Shiwuwu was at a loss, feeling that with his current methods, he couldn't kill the Sui Demon in front of him.

So he turned around and looked at the four people.

"Hey, over there, can I ask you something?"

"Does anyone know how to kill this thing?"

Upon hearing this, the Faceless Sui Demon also looked over.

After observing for a while, it felt that the woman in the white floral dress was the easiest to bully, as people with a constant smile like hers were usually fresh out of the nest.

So it threatened fiercely, "You four, do you also want to subdue this demon?"

"Little girl, what are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyes out?"

Seeing this, the woman from the Ten Aspects Sect merely produced a thunder whip, which extended to a hundred meters in the wind, crackling with lightning and exuding a formidable aura.

She chuckled lightly, "Oh, a Sui Demon that hasn't been around for long, yet so bold."

In an instant, thunder roared, and the sound of the whip echoed continuously.

What followed was the Sui Demon's endless, mournful cries.

After a short while.

The woman from the Ten Aspects Sect smiled and nodded at Li Shiwuwu.

"Daoist Li, this Sui Demon is quite interesting; you can keep it."

"Besides, although you possess supernatural abilities, it seems you haven't officially embarked on the path of cultivation, so take care of yourself."

With that, her entire figure vanished like the wind, leaving no trace.

As she disappeared into the distance.

The young man with the sword continued to chatter, "That Li guy, and you call him an immortal descended to earth, unstained by dust?"

The Basket Woman smiled wryly, "You can't say that."

"That woman is from the Ten Aspects Sect, with the Pen Aspect, Shengfei Pen."

"Shengfei Pen implies causing trouble and stirring up disputes."

"In Dayao, it's said that even in death, you can't afford to be targeted by their pen, or you'll never have a peaceful day again."

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but shiver.

His gaze towards Li Shiwuwu was filled with pity.

As for Li himself, he was staring at the Sui Demon in front of him, troubled.

"Let me ask, if you kill me, does that mean the contract is void, and you don't have to repay me the gold?"

The Faceless Sui Demon shook its head, "No, if that happens, I'll die too."

The next day.

The world was shrouded in drizzle, and the ground was muddy.

In Jule Town, the town protector Liu Shaohu arranged a small courtyard for them to stay temporarily.

At this moment, watching the chaotic raindrops outside the window, Li Shiwuwu was particularly anxious.

Turning back, he angrily said, "Faceless Man, can you get lost? Stop following me, I don't care about your two hundred gold."

The Faceless Sui Demon, still wearing a gray cloak and without facial features, claimed it considered itself male.

"No."

"I must repay you two hundred gold within a year, or I'll be erased by the life contract, so I can't lose track of you."

Li Shiwuwu frowned and looked at the old monk in the yellow robe, "Master, quickly subdue this demon."

The old monk performed a Buddhist salute, then shook his head, "Benefactor Li, from what I see, my Buddhist skills are somewhat lacking."

The young man with the sword followed with schadenfreude, "Oh wow, the immortal descended to earth, unstained by dust, Dao Lord Li is also helpless?"

At this moment, the town protector Liu Shaohu entered the courtyard.

Seeing the Faceless Man, he shivered.

Quickly averting his gaze, he said to Li Shiwuwu, "Daoist Master, I've found out."

"The one hundred and two people who died in town, each household received a hundred gold coins."

"I found it strange, their family members died, yet they weren't upset, even acting cheerful as if nothing happened."

The Faceless Man came over, quite proud, "That's how this demon does things, with such attention to detail."

Li Shiwuwu casually asked, "Those people died from having their faces peeled, isn't that a bit much?"

The Faceless Man explained, "When I peel faces, I usually extract their essence, energy, and spirit, then fuse it into the human face."

"In that case, why didn't you do that when I peeled your face last night?"

"Uh, your face is too ugly, only worth ten gold," the Faceless Man stammered, "and who would've thought your face would keep growing back..."

Li Shiwuwu: "Outrageous, where's my knife..."
