Chapter 99

Intelligence on the Moon Toad, Heavenly Secrets Pavilion

The Jade Wall Secret Chamber is extremely well hidden and equipped with a soundproof array.

Even the Demon Suppression Division's henchmen couldn't track down this place.

Pei Si gripped his sword, traversed space, and left the county town.

If the Demon Suppression Division comes after us, we'll just kill them.

Return to the cliff caves of Huanlong Valley.

Pei Si took stock of his gains.

The incense and offering money, when collected, amount to about three sticks.

The jade stone appears to be a material for a magic array.

Pei Si plans to sell his antiques and collectibles on the black market once things have calmed down.

The warrior Pei Si flew into the cave.

"I've discovered traces of the Moon Toad!" the warrior Pei Si declared confidently.

A quarter of an hour later, Pei Si realized.

It turns out that the highest leader in this Dragon Ring Valley is the Moon Toad.

The beast tide also arose because of the moon toad.

To be promoted to the rank of shepherd, three items are required.

The Wind-Stabilizing Pearl of the Wind-Thunder Centipede, the Fire-Cloud Pill of the Fire-Cloud Spirit Fox, and the Toad Skin shed by the Moon Toad of the Moon.

"Rumor has it that the Moon Toad is unpredictable; I'll try to make contact with it," Pei Si thought to himself.

This matter can be left to the martial artist Pei Si. He himself needs to go back to Qingcheng Mountain to repair that strange artifact.

Once the plan is set, it will be executed immediately.

As dawn broke, Pei Si rode his copper bell and headed towards Mount Qingcheng.

The copper bell, adorned with the Divine Speed ​​Talisman, naturally spurred the horse to full speed, arriving at Mount Qingcheng in less than half a day.

Perfect timing! I should place the bronze bell in the painting of the divine steed to nurture it.

The Temple and Monastery of Slaying the Dragon.

Senior sisters Qingfeng and Mingyue are doing their morning practice.

Master is not here.

Pei Si sat next to Senior Sister Qingfeng and they did their morning lessons together.

Morning class finished.

The three of them stood up.

Mingyue stood up casually, put her arm around Pei Si's neck, and said with a grin, "Junior Brother, why are you back on the mountain so soon? Did you find a suitable spiritual object?"

"Where did you come from?"

Pei Si smiled wryly: "I'm not that lucky. I was rushing back from Shu County this morning."

"Then you must have used the Divine Speed ​​Talisman I drew." Mingyue said with considerable pride.

The junior brother was secretly pleased that he could use the talisman she drew.

"I just missed my two senior sisters, so I came back to the mountain to visit them," Pei Si chuckled.

"Get lost! You lie without even thinking. Ask Qingfeng, she won't believe you." Mingyue rolled her eyes at Pei Si.

Suddenly called out, Qingfeng blinked his peach blossom eyes and whispered, "Junior brother, please speak plainly if you have something to say."

Pei Si scratched his head; his two senior sisters were like tapeworms.

"To be honest, Senior Sister, I killed a ghost and got a broken ghost artifact. I want to use the channels on our mountain to repair it."

"Tsk, junior brother is a real workaholic, always slaying monsters as soon as he steps out the door."

"I heard that Luohan County is plagued by a strange calamity. Could it be that Junior Brother killed this very monster?" Mingyue asked curiously.

"Indeed, someone kept a skeleton monster in the Da Luo Guo Temple and made it impersonate a Bodhisattva, which I suppressed."

The person behind it all, along with the prefect…”

There are no taboos or secrets between me and my two senior sisters.

He recounted the whole story.

"Such a thing happened! Junior Brother actually managed to suppress that human skin monster so easily." Qingfeng gave Pei Si a thumbs up.

Her junior brother taught her this gesture, saying it was a custom from their hometown and a way to express praise.

Good junior brother, just like her!

"The Demon Suppression Division is rotten to the core," Mingyue sighed.

The demon slayer in charge was betrayed by his colleagues, and the demon slayer, who was in charge of slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits, became a powerful tool to protect evil spirits.

The world is impermanent.

"Take a look at that strange artifact." Mingyue raised her chin.

A broken sewing machine was placed in front of everyone.

Looking at the knife marks that almost split the sewing machine in two, Mingyue's lips twitched, and she said, "Good junior brother, you've got some strength."

Qingfeng pinched his chin with his fingers, examining the strange artifact with great interest, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"The Human Skin Demon is used to process skins, thereby achieving the ability to move freely between skins." Qingfeng also noticed the words engraved on the sewing machine.

"Perhaps there exists an organization that specializes in providing artifacts for the supernatural," Qingfeng murmured to himself.

Pei Si suddenly remembered that the veil on the red lantern was also a trick.

"Senior sisters, let me show you my newly acquired top-notch henchman. Please take a look and give me your opinion," Pei Si said with a smile, giving a heads-up beforehand.

Pei Si summoned the red lantern.

A woman in an eight-foot-long wedding dress, wearing a red veil, stood before the crowd.

"Is it the Red Lantern Ghost from Yang'an County? Junior Brother is the one destined to be punished by the Red Lantern Ghost. I thought the Red Lantern Ghost had long since been reduced to fragments." Mingyue glanced at Pei Si with a hint of surprise.

"Hmm, Junior Brother, did you refine the red lanterns into soldiers and horses?" Qingfeng, seeing through the trick, asked curiously.

"Senior sister has a discerning eye; she has indeed turned the Red Lanterns into a powerful army for me to command."

"He is cunning, unpredictable, and violent. You must be on high alert," Mingyue instructed solemnly.

"Yes, Senior Sister."

"Look at the veil on the red lantern, it is a treacherous weapon that once blocked one of my blades."

"It hasn't been repaired and is now slowly recovering. What could be the reason for this?" Pei Si asked.

Qingfeng: "Hmm... There are differences between different kinds of magical artifacts. Junior brother, look at Hongdeng's attire. She is wearing a wedding dress and a veil, which complements her perfectly. Theoretically speaking, the more complete the imagery of the artifact, the stronger its combat power."

"This red veil must be connected to Hong Deng's destiny. As Hong Deng gradually recovers her strength, the red veil will also slowly recover."

"I see." Pei Si looked at the red light. "Is Senior Sister right?"

"Just as the female Taoist priest said," Red Lantern said softly.

As expected of the master's senior sister, she is very knowledgeable.

"Where did you get your red veil?"

"My lord, you may not know this, but when humans kill monsters, they obtain fragments of the monster's essence. These fragments can be given to professionals to be crafted into monster artifacts, which can then be used to fight monsters."

"Among the mysterious, there are also such craftsmen. As far as I know, there are organizations that specialize in making mysterious artifacts. They travel around the four kingdoms of Qian, Xuan, Yin, and Yan all year round. Those who are exceptionally skilled in making mysterious artifacts are called legendary craftsmen."

Hong Deng spoke with absolute certainty, without any concealment, and thus committed a treacherous act.

"This red veil was made for me by the legendary craftsman known as Hurricane Guest."

"The original plan was to finish making the red veil, then gather materials to make a pair of embroidered shoes."

The words fell.

The three exchanged a glance, understanding each other's meaning.

Is this the world of ghosts?

"The legendary strategist... could he be a dwarf?" Pei Si thought to himself.

"The world of the uncanny is so perfectly structured," Mingyue remarked.

"Red Light, are you a local ghost?" Qingfeng asked a question that most people wouldn't think of.

Hongdeng removed her veil, a look of reminiscence appearing in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "Speaking of which, I was not a citizen of Qian Kingdom in my previous life."

"I arrived in Yang'an County after learning about the situation from Tianji Tower. They said that Yang'an was weak and that a great opportunity awaited me."

"Don't keep me in suspense. What kind of organization is Tianji Tower? Does it sell intelligence?" Pei Si frowned slightly.

"Master is right. The main business of Tianji Tower is selling information."

"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has branches in half of the dynasties of Dongcang."
