He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

[Spirit Devouring Pure Essence Talisman] activated!

The remnant soul of Wu Jing was absorbed and purified by the magic talisman, transforming into a tonic to nourish Pei Si's soul.

"Knock knock knock".

The ground is shaking.

Pei Si heard the military orders and the neighing of horses.

The city guards and the Eagle Banner troops have arrived.

"We, Yuan Hua, Commander of the City Guard, and Xia Miao, Commander of the Eagle Banner Prefecture, pay our respects to the Immortal Master!"

The two armored men dismounted and bowed to Pei Si with their hands clasped in salute.

The two looked around and saw that the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Palace had collapsed, and red lanterns hung in the sky.

A Taoist priest with an otherworldly air stood before a large incense burner, and beside him stood a tall woman wearing a red veil.

Pei Si's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he calmly replied, "Hmm."

Neither the county magistrate nor the Eagle-Flying General showed up.

Seeing Pei Si's attitude, Yuan Hua and Xia Miao exchanged glances, both of them breaking out in a cold sweat.

The fact that there was something fishy about the Da Luo Guo Temple was an open secret among the county government and military officials; it was best to just pretend they hadn't seen anything.

Who would have thought that this Taoist priest, who appeared out of nowhere, would simply overturn the table?

This whole mess has made everyone lose face.

Pei Si narrowed his eyes. Judging from the reactions of Wu Jing, Yuan Hua, and Xia Miao, he seemed to have made a huge blunder.

Did you kill the important person's mount?

These two might be thinking to themselves that he lacks a sense of propriety.

"Commander Xia, Commander Yuan, can anyone tell me about the origins of the strange creature in the Great Luo State Temple?"

"Could it be that you two regard me as a monstrous threat?"

Pei Si spoke calmly and slowly.

These words plunged Xia and Yuan into an icy abyss.

Yuan Hua nudged Xia Miao with his elbow. Xia Miao cursed inwardly but forced a smile and said, "This kind of ghost is naturally something that evil spirits can only become ghosts after cultivating to a certain level."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hua silently gave Xia Miao a thumbs up.

After listening to your words...

Pei Si walked between the two, glanced at Xia Miao, and said coldly, "Xia Miao, are you so afraid of trouble even among the Sixteen Guards directly under Yingyang Prefecture?"

"Fine."

Pei Si turned and left.

…………

Pei Si calculated.

The person behind the scenes is of high status, brazenly raising treacherous individuals in a royal temple like the Da Luo Guo Temple, and keeping the Yingyang Prefecture, which is directly under the central government of Da Qian, silent in fear.

This place is not far from Shu County.

The Shu Commandery has a Demon Suppression Division stationed there. Are they going to pretend to be blind?

Pei Si took a deep breath, his gaze intense.

…………

The Eagle-like General of Luohan County was named Zu Dalu.

Zu Dalu's residence is about to welcome an uninvited guest.

This martial artist, at the third level of the Outer Strength Realm, sat in a grand chair, leisurely sipping his tea.

"Husband, the monster in the Da Luo Temple during the day was killed by a young immortal master. Has this affected you?" A beautiful woman poured tea for Zu Dalu.

Zu Dalu snorted coldly, grabbed the beautiful woman, and began to roam over her voluptuous body.

"Husband...husband, we're talking about serious matters..."

"Wrap it up for me," Zu Dalu said nonchalantly.

"I wonder which mountain that person came from. He's so arrogant and ignorant. That skeleton bodhisattva in the temple is kept by some big shot in the county."

"Even the Demon Suppression Bureau doesn't dare to interfere, so why is he meddling in other people's business like a dog trying to catch a mouse?"

Zu Dalu's voice rose and fell.

A moment later, the beautiful woman looked up, her face flushed, her throat bobbing, and she mumbled indistinctly:

"But that person killed the White Bone Bodhisattva. Won't that important figure in the county hold a grudge against us?"

"No way! I'll just pretend I don't see it. Do you expect me to guard that White Bone Bodhisattva?" Zu Dalu snorted coldly, looking displeased.

"So they were colluding with the wicked, what a fine Eagle Yang Mansion." A cold voice rang out.

Hearing the sound.

Zu Dalu pulled up his trousers, while the beautiful woman hurriedly straightened her clothes.

A figure stood behind the screen.

Pei Si picked up a chair and sat down.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my residence! Are you trying to assassinate me?!" Zu Dalu stood up, his massive body gleaming with a fierce light in his eyes.

"I am the kind of arrogant person you're talking about," Pei Si said with a smile, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

A big shot in the county? How big is he?

"Don't call anyone, I've already put all your guards to sleep."

Pei Si said with a smile.

"General Zu, it was no easy feat to rise to this position. Tell me the name and official title of the person behind you, and I will spare your life." Pei Si released his blood aura.

"Arrogant!"

Zu Dalu could no longer tolerate it.

How dare a martial artist at the second level of the Outer Strength Realm overstep his bounds!

He stepped forward and threw a punch!

Pei Si did not draw his sword. He stood up, took a step forward, and delivered a powerful elbow strike to the heart!

The outer three layers should be paired with the outer two layers, and the upper cultivation should be used to attack the lower cultivation.

boom!

Zu Dalu's burly body flew several meters backward, crashing through the bed and breaking the wall.

A red thread shot out and tied Zu Dalu's head. Pei Si flicked his finger and pulled Zu Dalu back into the house.

The beautiful woman beside her was already slumped on the ground, her skirt wet with urine, and the smell of urine filled the room.

"General Zu, aren't you going to talk? You're quite loyal." Pei Si shook his head and summoned the headless white bone monster.

"Make him speak."

Upon seeing the headless, white-boned monster, Zu Dalu's pupils dilated in shock.

The White Bone Bodhisattva is not dead?

Instead, they were transformed into a force that could be commanded by the person before them?! Just who is this person?!

The headless, white-boned monster, with a wave of its tiny arm, released black flies, which attached themselves to Zu Dalu's third leg.

"No, no!"

Zu Dalu looked terrified; he had personally witnessed the ferocity of these black flies.

In the blink of an eye, it can devour a person's flesh and blood, leaving only bones.

Even with a miraculous medicine that can heal flesh and bones, it will still take quite a while to recover!

"I...I'll talk!" Zu Dalu lowered his head, biting his lip until blood seeped out.

"The important figure in the prefecture is named Mi..."

As soon as Zu Dalu uttered the word "mi," his pupils suddenly turned white, his whole body trembled, and his tongue protruded from his mouth.

A long, pale white candle suddenly appeared and stuck to Zu Dalu's tongue.

The white candle suddenly burst into green flames.

At the same time, the beautiful woman beside him suddenly rolled her eyes back, reacting in the same way as Zu Dalu!

Two long tongues dangled on the ground, with long, pale candles burning with green flames nailed to them, giving off an indescribable eeriness.

Pei Si squinted, holding the red light in front of him.

He placed his palm on the hilt of the knife and observed it quietly.

Suddenly a cool breeze swept over me, and the green flame flickered violently, as if a demon was crouching beside the candle, exhaling rapidly and blowing it out.

"Strange," Hongdeng uttered a single word.

A red light appeared.

The next moment, Pei Si's figure disappeared.

"No." Pei Si said coldly.

In his field of vision, there was no eerie shadowy body, nor any hideous scars as a medium.

Click!

A sound like metal clashing rang out.

The two long, pale white candles suddenly went out!

At the same time, Zu Dalu and his wife's bodies rapidly withered and died.

Two human skins were stuck to the ground, as if they had been carefully ironed.

Pei Si's expression remained unchanged as he activated the [Spirit Devouring Pure Essence Talisman], but there was no reaction.

"Just for having the thought of revealing someone's name, you were targeted by the person behind the scenes?"

"A long, pale white candle, a chilling wind, trimming the candle."
