Chapter 13: The Beast-Transformation Spell
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Just moments ago, they had clearly been goats; yet now, they had turned into young, beautiful women. The sight was beyond shocking. It sent chills down the spines of all who witnessed it.
At this moment, the four rescued maidens sobbed and kowtowed to Li Yanchu, their voices trembling with gratitude.
“You... you’re Miss Sun Xiuyun of the Sun family, the renowned salt merchants of Wei City?” an elderly man suddenly asked hesitantly.
Upon receiving a tearful confirmation, the crowd erupted in astonishment.
“Quick! Hurry and notify the county office and the families. Tell them the missing girls have been found, they’re at the Taiping Inn!”
In recent days, four young noblewomen had vanished in Wei City, throwing the entire city into a state of fear. No one could have imagined they had been transformed into goats. Now, they had finally been saved by Daoist Master Yanchu!
“Could it be... Daoist Master Yanchu saw something suspicious about those two men and struck them down to stop their evil?”
A bold thought surfaced in everyone's minds, and they felt they had likely arrived at the truth. Those who had just been condemning Li Yanchu for being too heavy-handed now felt their faces burning with shame and guilt.
“So Daoist Master Yanchu was fighting human traffickers, vile criminals who kidnapped and sold women!”
In an instant, the way everyone looked at Li Yanchu completely changed. At this moment, their eyes were full of awe and respect.
“We owe Daoist Master Yanchu an apology. What we said earlier was truly out of line. Please, Daoist Master Yanchu, forgive our ignorance!”
