Chapter 112 The Influence of the Ash Scatterer
“Junior Brother Qi Yuan, I have a question. Please forgive me for being foolish…”
A thousand feet below the ground of Lindong City, two figures were curled up into a ball and searching for light in the darkness.
The short Daoist priest, Jiu Wu, led the way and held a sword that was connected to its sheath in his hand.
“Qi Yuan”, who was also Li Changshou’s paper effigy, was following behind Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, slowly approaching the huge brothel that contained the demonic auras.
Jiu Wu turned his head and said, “Logically speaking, sneak attacks should be launched at night.”
He continued, “It’s broad daylight and bright, in the middle of the afternoon. Why don’t we attack directly?”
“Senior Brother, you are wrong.”
Li Changshou imitated his master’s voice and replied, “There are very few guests in this place. The mortals are resting. We’ve seen how lively this place gets at night last night.”
Jiu Wu nodded slowly and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to know this place quite well, Junior Brother Qi Yuan.”
“I heard Changshou mention it a few times.”
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. In order to protect his master’s reputation, he could only sacrifice himself.
Jiu Wu chuckled and said softly, “I believe you. Your eldest disciple’s heart has turned black like the ashes of a furnace! Once terrible thoughts manifest, even the Essence Immortals will really not be able to take it. The Perfected Immortals will fall. When he transcends the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation later, he’d probably dare to even plot against the Heaven Immortals.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
I’ll stab you with my sword!
“Ahem.” Li Changshou continued to use his master’s voice during voice transmission. “I’ve heard Changshou mention it before. He admires you very much, Senior Brother. He feels that you have contributed greatly to the Immortal Du Sect’s stability in both cultivation and internal affairs.”
“Sigh, it’s fine if I don’t mention it. I get worried at the mention of this. I’m always busy. I have to run everywhere. There are some places and people who can’t do without me…”
When he saw that Jiu Wu was about to start complaining, Li Changshou hurriedly interrupted him.
“Senior Brother, it’s best if we investigate more later. After we deal with these demons, we can talk throughout the night.”
“Yes, it’s not the right time to chat.” Jiu Wu smiled awkwardly and continued to move forward slowly.
As Jiu Wu did not have a deep understanding of the Earth Escape technique, he was unable to do it without making a sound.
While the two of them concealed their auras, Li Changshou secretly concealed their auras once again…
The scene made Li Changshou miss the experience of performing operations with Elder Wan Linyun.
They stealthily arrived on the ground of the brothel. The two of them began to investigate carefully and quickly found the source of the seven demonic auras.
“There were actually two Perfected Immortal realm demons.” Jiu Wu frowned. “They have occupied this place for quite some time. Why did no one notice them?”
Li Changshou replied, “It’s unlikely that ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators would come to such a place.”
Jiu Wu chuckled and said, “Junior Brother Qi Yuan, why did you come here previously?”
“Qi Yuan” sighed softly and said, “I want to find a place to drink to relieve my boredom. I recently received two letters…
“Senior Brother, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s eliminate the demons first.”
Letter?
Jiu Wu looked curious but did not ask further.
However, Li Changshou secretly observed the change in Uncle-Master Jiu Wu’s expression and knew that he had successfully planted a seed.
Soon, it would be reasonable for him to continue discussing that matter with his uncle-master.
“One step at a time, play by ear, hide your intentions.”—the ‘Theory of Tricks’, written by Li Changshou, a disciple of Ren School, Sect Master of the Sea G.o.d Sect.
The two of them looked at the bottom of the demonic creature. Uncle-Master Jiu Wu took out a long sword and was about to secretly attack. He then attacked and killed the two Perfected Immortal realm demons.
One of the two Perfected Immortal realm demons was the alluring manager of the place that they had seen previously.
At that moment, the demoness was in a small wooden hut. She was looking at two pretty young girls who were practicing the zither and playing the flute…
“Junior Brother Qi Yuan, help me out here.”
Jiu Wu said that because he obviously did not want Qi Yuan to fight.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy quickly took action and used his Turbid immortal power to stop Jiu Wu.
Could it be that the Immortal Du Sect’s most commonly used “pa.s.sive technique” is fighting head-on? “Senior Brother, since we already have the advantage of being in the dark, why don’t we maximize it? I have a few poisonous pills for longevity, filial piety, and self-defense. Senior Brother, why don’t you secretly activate them here, quietly kill the demonic creatures there, then take the treasures and leave…”
As he spoke, Li Changshou took out two bottles of incapacitating agents and poisonous pills that Elder Wan Linyun had given him and even specially explained how to use them.
In the dark and narrow rock layer underground, Jiu Wu looked at Qi Yuan suspiciously.
Jiu Wu smiled and said, “As expected…”
Li Changshou frowned secretly. He thought that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had seen through him.
However, Jiu Wu chuckled and said, “Disciple-Nephew Changshou is so smart. I didn’t expect him to be trained by you, Junior Brother. True masters don’t reveal their capabilities, Junior Brother Qi Yuan.”
“Qi Yuan” sighed. “The world is hard, and my powers are weak. I have to be careful.”
“Good.”
Then, Jiu Wu secretly made a move. He carefully controlled the dosage of the incapacitating agents and released the pills one by one. Very soon, two to three hundred figures were thrown down from the front and back courtyard of the brothel.
Although most of them were already asleep,
Li Changshou even reminded him that if a mortal were to be contaminated with such a drug, they would either die or be injured.
“The women in this place are all people who have lived hard lives. Senior Brother, just bewitch those demons that consume the essence of mortals here.”
“I can’t tell that you’re still so protective of women, Junior Brother Qi Yuan.”
“I’m just afraid of negative karma.”
“Don’t worry, Junior Brother.” Jiu Wu smiled and continued to activate the medicinal properties.
The manager of the brothel, who was holding a cigarette stick, could not help but raise his hand to support his forehead. He took two steps back and slowly leaned against the round chair.
The cigarette stick that was made of jade landed on the ground. She was completely intoxicated and her sleeping posture was a little disturbing.
Without Li Changshou’s reminder, Jiu Wu started to search carefully…
Overall, Elder Jiu Wu was more cautious than Elder Wan Linyun.
It did not matter if they did not search carefully. However, after carefully searching, both of them had eyeopeners.
Last night, when the lights were dim, there were many beautiful figures.
