Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 167 Mr. Karen
A few days later, Li Kunshan returned to Hehuan Town.

Even for Zhengyi, investigating all the sects, families, and even individual people in the entire spiritual world is a huge project that cannot be completed in ten days or half a month.

As for how to deal with and respond to the invasion of vampires, an alien species, we will have to wait until the investigation is completed and decide based on the situation.

During this period, as a disciple of Zhengyi, Li Kunshan was on standby at all times.

At night, Li Kunshan sat cross-legged on the bed when a shadow suddenly flew out from his head. It was his soul.

Huh~!

Floating above the rooftops, determining the direction, and flying straight to the northwest.

With his magical powers, he could ride on the wind and control the air, and travel all over the mountains and peaks in one day. The mountains and rivers under the clouds changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he was already thousands of miles away.

"right here."

After a while, Li Kunshan stopped in front of a mountain range, surrounded by undulating peaks.

Confirming that it was correct, Li Kunshan went straight up the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, where are you from? You have visited our Ge Zao Sect at night. I don't know what your purpose is."

I had just taken two steps when a voice came out.

The sound was not very loud, but it was particularly clear in the night.

Buzz~!

At the same time, an invisible force blocked Li Kunshan's way.

Good means.

Li Kunshan secretly admired, then stood in mid-air, bowed respectfully towards the voice and said.

"I, Li Kunshan from Maoshan, have come to see Master Ge."

"Maoshan? You must be Li Kunshan."

The other party's voice was slightly surprised, and then praised.

"At such a young age, you have already achieved such a high level of inner alchemy cultivation. When I heard all about you before, I thought you were exaggerating. Now it seems that you were too conservative."

"You are too kind to praise me. I feel unworthy of it."

"Haha, no shame, come in."

The other party smiled, and the next moment, the barrier in front of Li Kunshan suddenly disappeared.

"Disciple thanks you."

Li Kunshan was delighted, saluted again, and continued to move forward.

As soon as he flew into the mountains, he saw an old Taoist with white beard sitting on a large bluestone, smiling and waving at Li Kunshan.

"Come with me."

"Yes."

This was the person who had just spoken, and Li Kunshan hurriedly followed.

Li Kunshan's soul had left his body and he had the ability to travel in the spirit world. The other person looked to be at least eighty or ninety years old, but his steps were as light as his.

In just a moment, they crossed the mountain and came to a group of buildings, then passed through pavilions and towers, and finally arrived in front of a quiet room.

The old man smiled and then left.

Li Kunshan calmed himself down a little, walked forward, knocked on the door and said.

"Li Kunshan of Maoshan, begging to see Master Ge."

Squeak~!

With a slight sound, the door opened automatically.

Li Kunshan adjusted himself again before stepping in.

The room was not big, with only a table and a half-lit candle. Under the dim candlelight, a middle-aged man was sitting on a cushion, meditating.

About ten years ago, the leader of Gezhao Mountain passed away and passed the throne to his son, who was about middle-aged.

I think this person should be the current leader of Gezhao Mountain.

"Disciple Li Kunshan, I pay my respects to Master Ge."

Li Kunshan did not dare to be negligent and hurried forward to salute.

"Ah."

Master Ge opened his eyes, glanced at Li Kunshan, nodded slightly, and then spoke directly.

"Your spirit has left your body and you come to see me late at night. What's the reason?"

"Allow me to return this item."

Li Kunshan paused slightly, took out the soul-shaking bell, and presented it with both hands.

"Ok?"

Master Ge looked at it but did not answer.

"You helped Gezhao Mountain to find the traitor. This is a reward for you. Why send it back at night?"

"This one……"

I had already thought of what to say, but now facing Master Ge, I couldn't find the words. I subconsciously took a deep breath and spoke directly.

"Disciple, I dare to return this item. I hope that the Immortal can grant me the Ge Zao Mountain Thunder Technique!"

"Lefa?"

Hearing this, even Master Ge was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised.

Then he looked Li Kunshan up and down again, with a slight smile on his face.

"I heard that you mastered the Lightning Thunder Fist at such a young age. A few years ago, Tianshi Zhang also taught you the Dragon Tiger Mountain Crimson Palace Thunder. Now, you come to me to learn the Thunder Method again. Could it be that you want to practice the Three Mountains Thunder Method as well?"

"My disciple is not talented, and this is exactly what I mean!"

As the saying goes, don't tell lies in front of real people, Li Kunshan just said whatever he thought.

"I first practiced Maoshan Thunder Method, then Longhushan Thunder Method. Only then did I realize that the two complement each other and benefit greatly! I was greedy and wanted more, so I coveted Gezhaoshan Thunder Method!"

"Haha, how greedy and covetous you are."

Instead of getting angry, Master Ge laughed out loud twice, and looked at Li Kunshan with some approval.

"Thinking of your sincerity."

He nodded slightly, then raised his hand and took back the Soul-Shaking Bell.

"Master, you promised!"

Since he took back the Soul-Shaking Bell, it meant that he was willing to teach him the Thunder Technique. Li Kunshan's face immediately became excited.

"Thank you, Zhen..."

"Stop! No need to thank me."

Master Ge stopped Li Kunshan who was about to salute in time and spoke directly.

"Although you are not a disciple of my Gezhao Mountain, you are also a disciple of Zhengyi. The talismans of the three mountains are originally one. It is not impossible for me to teach you the Gezhao Mountain Thunder Method. However..."

"Master, if you have any requests, just tell me. I will definitely fulfill them at the risk of my life!"

"You are indeed smart. Don't worry, you don't have to risk your life. If you lose your life, I'm afraid Master Xuanyi will be very angry with me."

Master Ge smiled again, then his face darkened and he continued.

"Western zombies have invaded our East and dared to reach out to Zhengyi. Their hearts are worthy of death and they must be exterminated! Next, we will eliminate the Western zombies. If you have made sufficient achievements in the process, as a reward, I can teach you the Gezhao Mountain Thunder Method."

"so……"

"Okay, go back and figure it out."

Without waiting for Li Kunshan to say more, Master Ge shouted softly and then waved his sleeves.

Li Kunshan shuddered, and his soul immediately returned to his body.

"As expected of Master Ge."

Looking at his room, Li Kunshan came to his senses and was shocked again.

You know, even if he traveled in his mind and rode the wind and controlled the air, it would still take him a while to reach Gezhao Mountain.

Master Ge simply waved his hand and sent him back. This method was simply miraculous.

But that’s true, after all, the other party is the leader of Lingbao Sect.

"Enough merit..."

Without thinking about anything else, Li Kunshan wondered in his heart, what exactly would be considered sufficient merit as Master Ge said?

Li Kunshan thought about this problem for three consecutive days.

After much thought, there is still no clear standard.

Then he figured it out. Since he didn't know whether the other party's standard was six or seven, he would just do eight or nine, or even ten, no more, no less.

To put it bluntly, as long as his contribution is great enough, so great that the immortals nod their heads repeatedly, it will naturally be enough, and he can also pass on the Ge Zao Mountain Thunder Method. The next question is simple, how to make it big!

For example, find out the leader of this gang of vampires and kill him.

In fact, if Li Kunshan could find the culprit behind this vampire invasion, his contribution would be great enough.

But it's not easy.

"Concession?"

Li Kunshan had already started tracking down the 'master' of these vampires, and the dragon-slaying wizard who had been deliberately let go was still under his surveillance.

But until now, the Dragon Slayer has not seen the so-called 'master'.

However, one thing caught Li Kunshan's attention.

More than half a month ago, the Dragon Slayer entered the British Concession in Guangdong and has stayed there ever since and has not come out yet.

The vampire's 'master' was extremely cautious. Li Kunshan estimated that he was the only one who could find others, and no one else could find him on their own initiative.

In other words, probably no one or only a few close confidants know his specific identity and whereabouts.

However, he always has a general range of activities.

Li Kunshan speculated that the British Concession might be within that range.

The 'master' of these vampires is hiding in the British Concession!
The small ones hide in the wild, the big ones hide in the city. As the 'master' of the vampire, the source of all Western zombies is most likely a Western vampire.

In this case, it would be more concealed for him to hide in the British Concession than in the wilderness.

It is for this reason that the Dragon Slayer has been staying in the British Concession.

"Definitely is!"

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Li Kunshan was almost certain that the vampire leader was in the British Concession.

But even if I knew this, it still wouldn’t work.

After all, the concession is so big and there are so many foreigners in it, how can we know who the leader of the vampires is?

We can't use the Apparition Spell on each of them one by one, that would take forever. Besides, as a 'real' vampire, the Apparition Spell may not be effective against Western zombies.

"In that case."

Li Kunshan pondered for a long time, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It would definitely not work if he just waited for the dragon slayer, so he might as well go find him himself!

That night, a tall man, covered in a cloak, came out of Li Kunshan's yard.

He walked out of the town quickly and pulled down his cloak, revealing a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner, who was none other than Blood God No. 5.

After looking around and applying the Earth-Shrinking Talisman, No. 5 headed straight to the southwest.

The distance was not very far. Before dawn, we arrived at the British Concession in Guangdong.

"Find a place to stay first."

Compared with other places, as a concession, the buildings here are full of Western style, and the various facilities are obviously much more upscale and modern.

The most important thing is that when walking on the street, No. 5, who looks completely Western, does not look out of place at all, because the people living here are Westerners like him.

Of course, there were Chinese people in the concession, but they basically did some hard labor and had a relatively low status.

Before daybreak, Number Five walked into a restaurant called 'Howard'.

The restaurants here are not places to eat, but mainly for accommodation, similar to inns. As for the names, they sound quite foreign, but in fact they have similar meanings to Li Ji Restaurant or Wang’s Butcher Shop.

"Sir, please show me your ID."

As the largest hotel in the concession, it is open 24 hours a day. At the front desk on the first floor, a handsome young Chinese man said respectfully.

Number Five opened the suitcase, took out the documents and placed them on the counter.

As an illegal immigrant, he had no documents, and everything, including his suitcase, was a decoy made of blinding beads. To facilitate his movements, Li Kunshan specifically gave the blinding beads to No. 5.

"Mr. Cullen, please follow me."

After completing the check-in formalities, the waiter led No. 5 to the third floor and, as he requested, to the innermost room.

Pulling back the curtains, you can see the street below.

"very good."

Number Five nodded, closed the curtains again, locked the door, and told the waiter not to disturb him.

After dawn, No. 5 did not go out, but stayed in the room to cultivate his Qi and transform his spirit.

The [Vampire Baron] attribute is activated. In addition to the physical enhancement, he also becomes disgusted with sunlight.

Of course, this is not the key point. The fundamental reason is that he now has to maintain his vampire persona.

It was not until the sun set and night fell again that Li Kunshan's soul flew over and took over No. 5's body before leaving the room.

"Where are we going?"

Li Kunshan speculated that the vampire leader was in this concession.

But he is hiding very deeply, and it is basically impossible to find him. So there is only one way, to make him show up on his own initiative!

As for how to make him show up, Li Kunshan already has an idea.

However, at least you have to have some interaction with the other party first.

To put it bluntly, the other party doesn't know who Li Kunshan is and what kind of person he is.

The key issue now is how to intersect with the vampire leader.

"Just give it a try."

Li Kunshan has already had some ideas about this.

But we have to try it to know whether it works or not.

After arriving at the lobby on the first floor and asking the front desk about the situation in the concession, Li Kunshan walked out of the hotel.

Taking advantage of the night, I wandered around the concession, especially some entertainment venues and alleys and lanes with few pedestrians.

The decadence, chaos and darkness were very consistent with the background of this era and the environment of the concession, but nothing was discovered.

It was not until late at night that Li Kunshan arrived at the police station.

It was already past one in the middle of the night, and there was no one in the police station. Li Kunshan left his body again, asked No. 5 to wait outside on the street, and he went straight in through the wall.

"here."

It was pitch black inside, and after searching for a while, Li Kunshan finally found the archive room.

Then, he began to look through the recent case files.

There are all kinds of cases, including armed fights, thefts, and robberies, and there are many of them, but most of them have not been closed.

Most of the police officers of this era had no faith, only a desire to make money. So whether a case was closed, and how it was closed, depended on who paid the money and whether the money was enough.

The policemen in the concessions are the henchmen of these "foreign masters" and are only responsible for safeguarding the interests of the "foreign masters".

Li Kunshan is actually not interested in these.

"……found it!"

After looking through the books for more than half an hour, I gradually found a few cases.

These were all murders that occurred at midnight. Some of the deceased were discovered at the time, while others were not discovered until some time later. However, they all had one thing in common: there were no serious external injuries, but there was a large amount of blood loss!
"It must be!"

The leader of vampires must also be a vampire, and as a vampire, he must suck blood.

Li Kunshan suspected that these people were harmed by vampires.

Therefore, as long as we start with these cases, even if we can't find the vampires, at least we can establish a connection with them, and that's enough.

"Ok?"

Just as Li Kunshan was thinking, there was suddenly a noise.

Li Kunshan put all the case files back in their original places. Then, a young man pushed the door open and began to look through the case files.

After a while, many cases were picked out.

"interesting."

Li Kunshan stood by and watched, and couldn't help but smile.

Some of the cases this person was looking for were the ones he had just seen.

Could it be that this person is also investigating vampires?
"I must catch you!"

After carefully comparing and studying several cases, the man took out a map of the concession and marked all the crime scenes, which were roughly a circle.

After taking one last look and putting all the case files back in place, the man quickly left, not forgetting to lock the door before leaving.

Li Kunshan thought about it and returned to body number five.

At this time, the man jumped over the wall of the courtyard, looked around, and walked quickly in one direction.

Li Kunshan smiled lightly and followed immediately.
