I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

After everyone left, two figures teleported back to the place.

It was Bai Wuchen and Zhao Shanhe.

Then, a few figures joined them swiftly.

Bai Wuchen and Zhao Shanhe looked serious. “Greetings to Master Yao.”

Yao Mengji grabbed his long beard and smiled. “Everyone here’s a guest of Mr. Li. Don’t be so courteous.”

He had a white fox in hand, too, which he simply let go.

The ‘Nine-Tailed Fox’ was a decoy. It was just an ordinary white fox. Yao Mengji had cast an illusion spell on it, making others think it had nine tails.

They came up with the plan and executed it perfectly.

They thought about chasing the cultivators away, but that would displease the cultivators for sure. If they started a fight, it would disturb the expert. If they talked to them nicely, it would cause conflict because no one would listen to them.

They went through their options and came up with this plan. They acted and fooled the cultivators without disturbing the expert. It was perfect.

The Holy Emperor gestured, “Master Yao, you were the one with tricks up your sleeves. All credit goes to you.”

“We did it together. Besides, I’m grateful to be able to help Mr. Li,” laughed Yao Mengji.

He was in a great mood. There was a chance that he would visit the expert.

“Haha, Master Yao, are you going to visit Mr. Li?” laughed Bai Wuchen.

“I intend to, but not right now,” Yao Mengji nodded. Then, he said, “Mr. Li just regained peace, so I don’t think it’s the right time for a visit. We wouldn’t want to disturb him. I plan to visit after a while.”

Zhao Shanhe said, “Master Yao, you’re truly considerate and wise.”

If Li Nianfan wanted to enjoy peace and quiet, they should think twice before visiting him.

Then, everyone said their goodbyes and left.

Qin Manyun and her Master did not leave, though. They went to a tavern in the Fallen Town.

A sanctuary of an immortal heightened the place.

They intend to stick close to the expert. It was incomparable to divine places.

“Master, when are you going to visit the expert?” asked Qin Manyun.

Yao Mengji looked composed, and said in a low voice, “At the right time!”

He solved the issue but something was off. He felt like he missed out on something and could not visit the expert yet.

The assignment from the expert was way too easy, almost too easy to be true.

His gut feeling was never wrong.

Somehow he felt like there was a hidden hint!

Yao Mengji was deep in thought. He looked at Qin Manyun and said, “Manyun, please recall carefully and tell me what the expert said. I want you to repeat every word he said to you!”

Qin Manyun tensed up and recalled as best as she could.

After an hour, she reenacted the memory of her visit. She mimicked Li Nianfan and said, “Recently, there seem to be cultivators all around me. I can’t go out and it’s impossible to go hunting in the mountains. Can you help me find out what’s going on?”

Yao Mengji was taken aback. He seemed to have caught a glimpse of something.

He brushed his long beard while decoding the meaning of the sentence. He even wrote it down.

He was thinking hard. Then, he said slowly, “I have to figure out what the expert truly means. Otherwise, the expert would be displeased.”

It took him three days to think. Meanwhile, Qin Manyun also attempted to decode the sentence. However, it was useless. She had no clues or leads.

It was dark at night.

It was dark everywhere in the mountains except for one spot. There was fire coming from that spot and it was noisy.

It was the turf of the Silver Moon Demon King. There were countless demons. His demon disciples were causing a ruckus. They were arrogant and loud.

The demons wore animal heads as hats and they were chatting and laughing devilishly from time to time. They also had glaring eyes.

They were all looking at a big metal cage that had a hundred captured humans inside.

The humans were terrified. Some of them fainted at least once because they were surrounded by so many demons.

“Haha, look at that pretty lady over there. She has smooth, pale skin.”

“How dare you. We’re saving those for the king. We’re getting the meat of old men.”

“Old men’s meat sounds nice, to be honest. It’s better than the meat of a grandpa.”

The humans heard their conversations. They all went pale and were shivering in fear.

Suddenly, a demonic windstorm erupted. A dark, shadowy figure was levitating in the middle of it.

The dark shadowy figure had wings up to six feet long. With each flap, he raised dark clouds behind him. He flew at a high speed.

Vroom!

He flapped his wings three times before landing on a giant rock. His wings were covered in black feathers, which he retracted into his back.

He was a Mountain Eagle Demon!

The demons all bowed. “Greetings to the King!”

The Mountain Eagle Demon stood tall on the rock and glanced at his disciples. He was glaringly scary and everyone went silent.

“My King, this is the food we’ve prepared for you,” said a Pig Demon that wore a pig head. He pointed at the cage.

The Silver Moon Demon King glanced at the cage. He looked displeased and said in a low voice, “I ordered you to find the Nine-Tailed Fox. How was it?”

“This…”

The Pig Demon said timidly, “We haven’t found it yet.”

“Useless!” The Silver Moon Demon King roared. He slapped the Pig Demon and he went flying. It was very abusive.

“A bunch of useless demons!” He glared at them like he wanted to devour them.

Two weeks ago, he sent two demon kings to search for the Nine-Tailed Fox. However, those two losers went missing.

At that time, the Nine-Tailed Fox was covered with demon scent because she went through a transformation. It was the best time to track her down. Now that her scent was gone, it was way harder to look for her unless they had special skills!

Those two idiots! They made the Silver Moon Demon King miss his best shot at tracking her!
