Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Deng Tong clapped his hands and laughed:

"Lord He truly has a wealth of talented people under his command."

He Yuntian's face darkened, his eyes wide with anger:

"Zhou Zhitian, I asked you to investigate, and this is the piece of junk you brought me?"

Zhou Zhitian sighed and looked at Xie Qiyun, saying:

"Qiyun, what would you do if it were you?"

Xie Qiyun raised an eyebrow and clenched his fist:

"I'm more inclined to agree with Lord He's idea: let's give them a good beating first."

After saying that, he was eager to try it out.

Zhou Zhitian rubbed his temples:

"I didn't ask any more questions."

The five men immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:

"We are loyal to the Demon Suppression Division and have always worked diligently to slay demons and monsters."

Zhou Zhitian's eyes lit up as he looked at Jiang Yu beside him:

"Young friend Jiang, you are an unofficial member of our Demon Suppression Division, and you shone brightly in the battle against the Tree Demons. Why don't you deduce who the murderer is?"

Deng Tong and He Yuntian also looked at Jiang Yu with curiosity:

"My niece and Zhou Zhitian both praise you highly, saying you have exceptional wisdom and resourcefulness. We also want to see your abilities."

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said:

"I have a way to find the demon, but I need someone's help."

"Oh? Who do you want?" Zhou Zhitian asked.

Jiang Yu cupped his hands and said:

"Please send someone to the Illusion Medicine Shop to invite a female medicine practitioner named Ali."

"No problem!" Zhou Zhitian readily agreed and gave the order:

"Wu Yun, go and invite the person that Jiang Xiaoyou is looking for."

Xie Qiyun said sarcastically:

"Jiang Yu, you really have a lot of luck with women."

"You've only been in the county town a short while, and you've already run into another girl, Ali. Add to that Yingning beside you, and you're truly blessed with good fortune."

Zhao Lei belatedly realized:

"Brother Yu, so you went to the Illusion Medicine Shop to pick up girls."

Zhang Tao gave a thumbs up and said:

"Brother Jiang is awesome."

Jiang Yu shrugged. What's all this about?

He bowed and said:

"I have always regarded women as mere rouge and skulls, and my relationship with the two ladies is completely innocent."

No one else believed it.

Fifteen minutes later.

When Ali arrived and saw Jiang Yu's handsome face, her face immediately turned red, and she said shyly:

"Greetings, my benefactor!"

Seeing this, everyone turned to Jiang Yu with scrutinizing eyes:

"And you still say you have nothing to do with each other?"

Jiang Yu didn't explain, but whispered a few words in A Li's ear.

Being so close to Jiang Yu, Ali's breathing quickened and her face flushed.

Ali took out the prepared medicine powder, blushing, and said:

"My benefactor, everything is prepared as you requested."

Jiang Yu nodded and said:

"Please apply this powder to these five people."

Ali nodded gently and, following Jiang Yu's instructions, applied the powder to the five suspects.

Jiang Yu explained to the others:

"This is a new demon-catching powder developed by the Illusion Medicine Workshop. It locks in demonic energy through direct contact with the skin, making the demons appear."

Zhou Zhitian was surprised:

"The Illusion Medicine Workshop has actually developed such a wonderful product. How come I've never heard them mention it before?"

Jiang Yu quickly said:

"This is something they just developed; I only managed to get some through connections."

Then, he had Ali cover each person's hands with a black cloth:

"Five minutes later, whoever has black spots on their palm is the demon."

Wu Yun, standing to the side, frowned.

He was the one who went to pick up the person, and the medicinal herbs he brought were all ordinary, common items that had no effect on detecting demons.

He thought hard for a moment, then slapped his forehead and whispered:

"I see, that's a good idea!"

Five minutes later.

Just as Jiang Yu was about to remove the black cloth, Wu Yun jumped out and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, let me do it."

Wu Yun first removed the black cloth from Lu Renjia's hands.

His hands were clean, without any black spots.

Wu Yun, with an expression that said, "I knew it all along," said:

"You are the demon."

Lu Renjia was in a state of panic.

Wu Yun became even more certain and spoke eloquently to the crowd:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have used a trick."

The residue left by the medicine will inevitably cause dark spots.

The demon, feeling guilty, deliberately blew away the powder, so the one with clean hands is the demon.

He looked at Jiang Yu and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, am I right?"

That's a load of rubbish.

Jiang Yu reluctantly removed the black cloths from the other people's hands. All five people's hands were clean, and none of them had black spots.

Wu Yun's eyes widened, and he said frantically:

"What's going on?"

Are all five of them demons?

Slaughter them all!

Everyone was speechless; this guy had gone mad.

Jiang Yu shook his head:

"The demon is not among these five people, but him."

After saying that, the Heavenly Thunder Pestle appeared in his hand and attacked the corpse at the bottom of the bed.

Faced with Jiang Yu's attack, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, got up, and fled.

However, the lightning released by the Thunder Pestle still struck his skin, revealing a hideous, crimson demon head.

Jiang Yu's lips curled into a smile:

"So you really are a demon in disguise. Who are you?"

Xue Laosi was astonished:

"I didn't expect you to see through my disguise. It's no wonder that Sixth Brother and Ninth Sister died at your hands."

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu found the demons so easily.

They wondered, how was this possible?

Even shrewd and calculating figures like He Yuntian and Deng Tong failed to see through it.

The two wondered: Could there really be such a brilliant and resourceful person in the world?

Wu Yun frantically grabbed his hair and asked Jiang Yu:

"Brother Jiang, please explain this to me."

Jiang Yu smiled slightly: "It's actually very simple."

He grabbed Ali's hand and gently stroked it, revealing a dense layer of red spots on her arm.

Yeah!

When Ali saw the change in her hand, she hurriedly pulled it back.

Jiang Yu explained:

"This girl, A-Li, has a special constitution and is extremely sensitive to demonic energy. She will develop red spots if she comes into close contact with it."

I deliberately used the pretense of applying medicinal powder to make him come into contact with each suspect, and naturally, we would find out who the demon was.

Jiang Yu observed that Ali showed no abnormalities when interacting with the five people, but developed red spots when standing next to the corpse.

Wu Yun's eyes widened:

"It's that simple?"

Jiang Yu nodded and said:

"It's that simple."

Wu Yun's face fell; he felt like a clown.

A brilliant line of reasoning, but actually a complete idiot.

Jiang Yu raised his hand, speaking meaningfully:

"You two actually knew the demon's identity all along, yet you still played along with our act. Thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhitian instantly understood.

How could He Yuntian and Deng Tong, the two most powerful cultivators in Guobei County, not be able to find out the disguise of a mere Painted Skin Ghost?

They were merely using this opportunity to assess the Demon Suppression Division's combat readiness.

Zhou Zhitian secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Jiang Yu was also a member of the Demon Suppression Division.

His decision to give Jiang Yu the title of non-member was truly prescient.

puff!

Xue Laosi released a cloud of purple poison gas from his mouth, attempting to escape the area.

Still want to leave?

A Yin spirit, several tens of meters in size, appeared behind He Yuntian. With a casual pinch, the Painted Skin Ghost Lao Si turned into dust and died.

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

This is the power of a Core Formation stage cultivator.
