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 God 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 “passive 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.

However, their makeup had faded in the day, and they looked much older.

Those mortal women were considered good-looking. Without their rouge, face powder, and dim lighting from the candlelight, their faces looked slightly different.

The five Courtesan Belles were demons whose cultivation levels were in the Essence Immortal realm. They were currently in a daze, revealing their true forms. There were three flying beasts and two white foxes…

The real custom-made Primordial version of Phantom Tank.

Jiu Wu shook his head and sighed. “How can those mortals like this?”

“They’ve just been blinded by their appearance,” Li Changshou said. However, he was monitoring the movements from hundreds of kilometers away.

Jiu Wu decisively attacked and used the Heaven Immortal Poison to quietly kill the five “Little Demon Immortals”.

In this place, they were shielded by the brothel. They usually relied on absorbing the Yang of mortals to cultivate. Their demonic powers were impure. At that moment, they were completely unable to resist the toxicity of the poisonous pills. Their souls dissipated instantly.

The method they used to cultivate was actually rather brilliant.

They received many guests, and they usually took action on more than one mortal. They would not take the lives of the mortals.

An example would be the ‘Young Master Xia’ who had been chased out yesterday. He had almost lost both his Yang and his family fortune, but he had not lost his life. It was just that he did not have much life span left.

“I killed a few little demons and I actually still gained merit,” Jiu Wu muttered softly and continued to attack.

This time, he was going to deal with the two Perfected Immortal demons.

One of the centipede demons kicked its legs on the spot.

However, the brothel manager, who had yet to reveal her true form, had a faint golden glow around her…

The light condensed into the appearance of a snow-white fox. There were six tails on its back that were resisting the invisible poisons around it.

Jiu Wu frowned and was about to add more poison when Li Changshou suddenly said, “Senior Brother, take back the poison.

This demon cannot be dealt with so easily!”

“Oh?”

Although Jiu Wu was confused, he stopped in time.

He also sensed that the light-gold glow was not simple. It was emitting a small amount of power of merit.

The merit and purity that the two of them had sensed previously did not seem to be from treasures, but the merit that the brothel manager had.

Or perhaps, the treasure was with the brothel manager…

The short Daoist priest was very careful. He first retrieved the surrounding poison and used his immortal power to bind it. Then, he carefully put the porcelain bottle into an abandoned storage Dharma artifact. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Jiu Wu frowned and said, “Junior Brother Qi Yuan, what do you think is going on? Could it be that the demons have opened up another brothel and are doing good deeds again? They actually accumulated so much merit!”

Li Changshou asked, “Senior Brother, do you have any Dharma treasures that can be used to store living humans?”

“I didn’t prepare any…”

“It’s fine. I did.”

“You did… eh?”

Jiu Wu looked at Qi Yuan and said with a bitter smile, “Junior Brother, why did you come out? You have Dharma treasures meant for storing humans, and poisonous pills…”

Li Changshou sighed and said, “Unfortunately, I’m just a Turbid Immortal. There’s no hope of fighting them head-on.”

“I understand, I understand.”

Jiu Wu looked ashamed, but he felt that he should not have said those things. He had struck a sour chord in Qi Yuan.

Li Changshou took out the spiritual beast hide pouch from his master and instructed, “Give this demon more incapacitating agents. We’ll think of a way to deal with it later.

“Senior Brother, take the demons and leave this place temporarily. Go to the edge of the East Ocean. I’ll make some arrangements here to prevent others from seeing through me.”

“Good.”

Jiu Wu quickly crawled out of the ground and stored the flirtatious and sultry lady boss in the spiritual beast hide pouch. Then, he soared into the sky and flew towards the East Ocean.

The moment Jiu Wu left, the brothel was enveloped by an isolation array formation. A few figures emerged from the ground. They were naturally formed by the original paper effigies.

Li Changshou had purposely asked Jiu Wu to leave because he did not want to expose all of that.

He searched the place carefully and transported the corpses of the demons to a remote backyard.

The paper effigies moved quickly and efficiently.

He chanted the sutras, rang the bell, activated the Soul-Bewitching Pearl, and restrained his remnant soul.

Then, the trumpet rang, and the demons began wailing. The yellow paper and lonely ghosts… Not long after, there were only some ashes left.

Most of the ashes he scattered previously were in the deep mountains and dense forests. That was the first time that he had seen such a beautiful and elegant brothel with a rich cultural vibe.

Li Changshou was disguised as his master’s face and he shook his sleeves. The pile of ashes in front of him scattered and turned into a pile of soil.

The touch was indeed different.

“Since you have come to the humans’ world to do evil, it is your fate to have encountered this calamity.”

With that, Li Changshou put away the paper effigies and the array formations in the area. He left some medicinal powder in the air to make the mortals sober up.

His immortal senses captured that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had already brought the beautiful demoness to hundreds of kilometers away.

For the sake of the harmony of the Jiu Immortals, Li Changshou chased after them…

In the straw hut of Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou’s main body heard a sound coming from outside the straw hut. He opened his eyes and saw his aunt-master and junior sister playing on a boat on the lake.

Previously, he did not think that it was too obvious. He had just walked around in the brothel in the mortal world twice. Now, looking at it again…

Not only is Uncle-Master well-endowed, but her figure also is wonderful. Her waist is slender, and her face is beautiful.

Junior Sister is even more elegant and charming. She has a gorgeous appearance, a slim figure that is really exquisite, and a face that is beautiful and extraordinary… At that moment, Li Changshou was filled with emotions.

Whether he cultivated or not, the impact was too great.

His attention quickly returned to the paper effigy. He frowned when he saw the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the Earth Escape.

The Perfected Immortal realm demonic centipede that he killed just now had something to do with his arrival in Lindong City!

This time, he was correct.
