I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 116: Lu Xuan’s Reward

The sky is gradually brightening, at a small village located more than ten miles from Yinshi Town.

An old man wearing a blue Profound Bird uniform sits cross-legged at the empty entrance of the village.

In the distant sky, a black spot appears, moving toward the old man; it is a small black bird.

And that old man is the Profound Envoy of Jingtai Prefecture, Mo Ronghua!

As the black Profound Bird lands on his shoulder, the old man’s tightly closed eyes slowly open.

The old man speaks casually as if inquiring, seemingly talking to the black bird perched on his shoulder.

This black bird is a black Profound Bird, only possessed by the Profound Envoy of the Profound Bird Guard.

It’s the means by which Mo Ronghua has been tracking the two great demons these days.

"Have you found the whereabouts of those two great demons?"

But to Mo Ronghua’s disappointment, the black Profound Bird on his shoulder shakes its head human-like, indicating it hasn’t found them.

Mo Ronghua came to this village because the black Profound Bird led him here.

While pursuing the two fox demons in Jingtai Prefecture, Mo Ronghua had already tasked the black Profound Bird with recording their aura.

To prevent losing track of the two great demons.

"Have they disappeared?"

"Those two damned beasts have escaped!"

"You go fetch those few Envoys back; I’ll head to a nearby town first."

"Those two demons enjoy consuming human Martial Artists; they’ll certainly appear where many gather."

As soon as Mo Ronghua finished speaking, the black Profound Bird understood his intention, instantly soared into the sky, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Shortly after the black Profound Bird left, Mo Ronghua fished out a yellowed map from his chest and opened it to examine it closely.

This map he acquired from the Chief Constable while passing through Fenglin County’s capital.

As for why he got it from the Chief Constable.

Because nearly all the county officials are already dead.

"There seems to be a town nearby."

"Yinshi Town?"

Upon seeing a big town marked on the map, Mo Ronghua swiftly put the map away.

"Alas!"

"Li Chengfeng, that old fellow, upon hearing this news will surely come rushing."

"Only hope those two great demons are slain by me before Li Chengfeng arrives."

"Otherwise......"

Because this incident is an oversight of the Profound Bird Guard of Jingtai Prefecture.

Allowing those two great demons to escape from Jingtai Prefecture to White Dao Prefecture, causing devastation to Fenglin County, resulting in severe loss.

The only remedy now is to slay the two great demons promptly.

At that point, not only gaining the prime meat of those two great demons but also receiving the reward for completing a dire-level task.

The reward for slaying these two great demons is two impressive medium-grade Heaven-Earth Spiritual Objects.

This is why Mo Ronghua relentlessly pursued them from Jingtai Prefecture to White Dao Prefecture.

However, time is running out for him.

Li Chengfeng, that old fellow, is almost here.

If Li Chengfeng arrives, the credit for slaying these two great demons will be uncertain.

After all, it’s his fault first, letting those two great demons run to White Dao Prefecture, wreaking havoc in Fenglin County.

This grave consequence must be borne by the Profound Bird Guard of Jingtai Prefecture.

Yinshi Town!

On the town streets, it resembles a dead silence, empty with no one in sight.

As the surviving townsfolk have hurried home to hide, afraid to come out.

They fear those two monsters from last night are still in town, rampantly eating people.

At this moment, Lu Xuan has arrived in Yinshi Town and requisitioned a large inn in town.

In the inn’s hall, the tables and chairs had been moved to a corner by Zhao Sheng, freeing up a large space.

On the open space, lie the enormous bodies of two great beasts!

"Zhao Sheng, Yao Feng, you two step outside first."

"Remember, without my command, nobody is allowed to enter."

Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng immediately responded to Lu Xuan’s words.

"Yes, honored Envoy!"

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, they walked towards the inn’s entrance.

Just as Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng reached the door.

A massive object, accompanied by a whistling wind sound, flew towards them.

Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng, realizing this, simultaneously turned back, stretched out their hands, and caught the enormous object.

This was a massive beast’s head.

"Take this beast’s head and calm the townsfolk, afterward you two are free to handle it yourselves."

As soon as the words fell, the inn’s door seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and then closed.

"Thank you for the grace, honored Envoy!"

After listening to Lu Xuan, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng showed a shocked expression, then revealed a look of incredulity.

Exchanging glances with each other, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng knelt down on one knee before the inn entrance.

To express their respect to Lu Xuan.

Because this is the flesh of a great demon!

Holding the beast’s head in his hand, Zhao Sheng felt like he was in a dream!

Beside him, Yao Feng stood up, looking at Zhao Sheng, seemingly struggling with words.

However, Yao Feng, after a brief consideration, spoke anyway.

"Zhao, I have two apprentices also in Yinshi Town."

"If you don’t mind, may I let them taste this demon beast’s flesh as well?"

"As you know, in half a month, the Martial Artist below the rank of Profound Bird Guard competition begins."

"If they could refine even a trace of this great demon’s flesh, it would be a great opportunity for them!"

"Even striving for first place would no longer be a dream."

For the future of his two apprentices, Yao Feng could only muster up the courage to ask Zhao Sheng.

"Oy, Yao, what do you mean by that!"

"This stuff belonged to you in the first place; I’m the one taking advantage of your generosity."

"Were it not for this valuable demon flesh, I wouldn’t want to take it."

"I’ll take just a quarter, and you can have the remaining three-quarters."

Zhao Sheng spoke candidly without any hesitation.

Acquiring this great demon flesh was like a pie falling from the sky.

After Yao Feng risked his life for a night, Zhao Sheng, having done nothing, got the great demon flesh.

If not for its substantial help to him, he wouldn’t want it, preferring to give it all to Yao Feng.

Yao Feng’s face changed, hastily refusing: "Zhao, this is too unfair, no, I...."

"Enough, Yao, let’s not argue, it’s decided."

"Let’s focus on completing the task entrusted by the honored Envoy first."

Zhao Sheng didn’t give Yao Feng a chance to continue, lifted the beast head on his own, and walked towards the street.

Seeing this, Yao Feng could only sigh helplessly, following in Zhao Sheng’s direction.
