Minglong

Chapter 58: Trick the Pervert Into Killing Him
The upper reaches of Huaijiang River.

The five-story ship was bustling with activity. The men's cheering and the crisp drumbeats could be heard clearly below the ship.
"Dongdongqiang~Dongdongqiang..."

"Four, five, six, you lose a lot if you take a small loss!"

“So tender…”

Xie Jinhuan quietly jumped onto the deck of the treasure ship. After making sure that he did not alarm anyone on the ship, he disguised himself as an ordinary tourist and walked to the corner of the ship.

After a quick look, there were not many people on the deck. They were all gambling thugs who maintained order and waiters who served tea and water. There was no one who was particularly powerful among them.

The scene inside the ship's tower really shocked Xie Jinhuan!
The five-story ship tower is quite large, with a hollow interior and a hall in the middle supported by huge pillars.

The hall was surrounded by gambling tables, and in the center was a high platform with a huge drum on it and ribbons hanging from the dome.

Dancers in colorful clothes, with ribbons twirling in their hands, sway back and forth in the hall, sometimes tapping the drum with their bare feet, making pleasant sounds, while drummers around them are beating the drums diligently.

Originally, this scene was just more gorgeous and not particularly special.

But when Xie Jinhuan looked carefully, he found that there was a colorful figure swaying above the hall. He was wearing a colorful mask, and his gauze skirt was shrouded in mist and was almost translucent. Sometimes he would do a split in the air.

If you stand right below and look up, you should be able to see the door open...

Because of this, the hall was packed with people, all trying to squeeze in. The edges of the several layers of fences were also filled with people, howling like wolves:
“Wow~——”

"another one……"

"What a white butt..."

The gamblers who were playing dice and Pai Gow also looked up frequently.

"This is what we call a nightclub..."

Xie Jinhuan had lived two lifetimes, but this was the first time he had seen such an energetic art performance. He tilted his head to see if there was any vacuum, but he couldn't see it because of the angle.

Ye Hongshang leaned against the other side of the window, and seeing Xie Jinhuan staring at him, he reminded him:
"This is a man. I don't know what kind of weird technique he practiced to become this androgynous appearance."

"what?!"

Xie Jinhuan squinted his eyes and looked carefully. He found that there really was an Adam's apple. He felt a chill in his heart and quickly turned his eyes away.

"Is this demon causing trouble?"

"It's just a minion."

Ye Hongshang looked around the noisy hall and asked:

"What did you see inside this ship?"

Xie Jinhuan looked around carefully and saw that the entire hall was already overcrowded. There were also private rooms for distinguished guests inside the fences on all sides. It was estimated that there were no less than five or six hundred people crammed into the entire ship. The cheers of the perverts and the excited roars of the gamblers mixed together, and one could also smell the strong smell of alcohol and cigarettes.

Most of the gamblers inside were all excited, and it looked like they were winning money, because there were "dancers" with their spring hair exposed above their heads, and deep in their eyes there was a deep hunger...

Xie Jinhuan sensed the strange atmosphere on the entire ship and whispered:

"What's going on with these people?"

"Greed and lust are the easiest ways to make people lose themselves, but the demonic path goes against human nature and can be used to stimulate the body and elevate cultivation."

Ye Hongshang gestured to the crowd gathered together:

"The Crazy Corpse Flower can cause these people to become extremely excited, and then push their greed and lust to the extreme, causing them to dissipate all their blood and essence in bliss. When refined, it can condense into a relatively special pill, which should be able to reach the super level of demonic realm."

In order to investigate the origins of the ghost wife, Xie Jinhuan followed the government to investigate cases these days and learned a lot of information about demons. Upon hearing this, he immediately understood the demon bandit's intention - the Blood Demon Pill.

The Blood Demon Pill, like the 'Evil Breaking Pill' in martial arts, is a must-have item for reaching the super-level realm.

The demon's super-grade medicine is called "Wanting Desire", so the method of refining this medicine is quite special. It is necessary to arouse the strong desire of the sacrifice and take the essence and soul in the bliss, so that the pill can be made.

If the monk is a male, then the required sacrifices must be men, and preferably those with strong greed and lust.

This big ship is a gambling ship, and it is still performing a show to build up its excitement. The targets selected are basically of this type.

The reason they chose to strike on Mid-Autumn Night was because there were tens of thousands of people enjoying the Peony Pond, and only today could they reasonably gather so many easily controllable targets...

Thinking of this, Xie Jinhuan's heart sank, and he looked around cautiously:

"The Blood Demon Pill contains a person's essence. It is said that its medicinal properties will dissipate in three days. It is usually prepared and consumed immediately. Is there a peak-level demon bandit on board?"

Ye Hongshang shook his head. "Across the river is Jingzhao Prefecture. Such a powerful demon Daoist wouldn't dare to show up easily. These demon bandits are probably his lackeys, here to do odd jobs and help with alchemy." Xie Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no first-rank demon Daoist was showing up, but soon another thought occurred to him:
After the witch cult rebellion, there were very few powerful demon cultivators in Daqian, and no super-level demons had ever been seen.

Although a first-grade demon is still a long way from a super-grade one, as long as he puts in his best effort, he can still barely create the sky-high blood evil of Zihui Mountain!
Danyang is such a small place, there can't be two super-class demonic ruthless characters at the same time...

Therefore, as long as the conspiracy of this group of evil bandits is exposed, the blame for the evil spirit rising from Zihui Mountain can basically be put directly on him. If the imperial court follows the evil bandits to investigate further, won't he be able to get away with it?
Thinking of this, Xie Jinhuan suddenly became alert and turned to look at the river bank, wanting to find a Wuzu officer to report the news.

But at this moment, the ghost wife who was observing the situation suddenly looked up:

"Beware!"

Xie Jinhuan immediately regained his composure and without any hesitation, he turned over and hid in the window. Then a voice came from above the ship:
"Duwu~..."

The mysterious whistle sounded through several corridors and reached Xie Jinhuan's ears. He felt as if he had been hit on the head. His vision was spinning and he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

However, in the critical situation, Xie Jinhuan rushed into the crowded crowd with the force of thunder.

next moment!
woohoo...

Two figures appeared outside the ship's hall window.

Tai Shudan was wearing a thick tea-green cloak and holding a rattan stick in his hand. He glanced at the crowded crowd in the hall with a frown on his face.

He Can landed beside him, holding a ghost umbrella, and also searched the hall with a puzzled look on his face:
"Was there someone there just now?"

"Have."

Tai Shudan scanned the hall. There were too many people and the scene was chaotic. He couldn't identify any suspicious people. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"His perception is even higher than mine, but his cultivation level is not high. He must be carrying some kind of surveying tool."

He Can looked back at the riverbank which was gradually moving away:
"We're too close to the peony pond. The poison hasn't taken effect yet, so it's inappropriate to take action. What should we do now?"

"Everything remains the same. Master is watching here. If he doesn't show up, he will die in there. He will show up sooner or later."

……
-
"Two, three, three, take the big one and lose the small one!"

"pretty!……"

"Beauty, come here!"

The ship's main hall was brightly lit, and beneath the dense drumbeats were lust, greed, and excitement, gradually turning into madness.

Xie Jinhuan dived into the crowd, as if he had plunged into a crowded nightclub. The smell of alcohol, cigarettes, and the strange aroma that aroused a man's most primitive impulses lingered around his nose, making people instinctively feel their blood boiling.

The monster hanging on the ribbon would occasionally fly over the head.

But Xie Jinhuan didn't have the energy to look up at this moment. He suppressed the dizziness that seemed like a concussion, blended into the crowd, and asked in a low voice:

"What was that just now?"

"An old man in a cloak whistled. He must be the leader on the ship."

"A whistle made me like this?!"

Xie Jinhuan had been attacked by a ghost witch in Jiguanling before, but the attack was just a little chaotic. But just now, he felt like he was hit on the head with a club. He said in disbelief:
"What kind of skills?"

"He's in the middle stage of the third rank, but his style is quite diverse. He practices both magic and lich, and also has a puppet imp."

Before Xie Jinhuan lost his memory, he was still an eighth-rank fry. He really didn't understand the top tier, so he asked:
"I'm at the peak of the fourth rank, and he's at the middle of the third rank. Can the gap be so huge?"

Ye Hongshang explained, "There's a huge gap between the third and fourth ranks. Those above the third rank in the Wu Cult are considered 'mediums', and can already use spells to directly attack the soul. You haven't even reached the third rank yet, so you have no way to resist. This gap is normal."

Since Xie Jinhuan woke up in the Demon Suppression Mausoleum, he had not encountered a Xuanmen opponent with a higher realm than him. At this moment, he suppressed his thoughts and asked:

"Is there any chance of counterattack?"

Ye Hongshang had indeed not expected that when Xie Jinhuan encountered an enemy that was difficult to defeat, his first thought was how to kill him. She observed briefly and responded:

"It's difficult. If you can't resist the spell, you will definitely suffer. Besides, there are a lot of helpers. It's safer to break through and call for help.

"This person wants to refine the Blood Demon Pill. The poison of the Crazy Corpse Flower has already been spread. He can't give up halfway. As soon as the flower poison takes effect, he must control the situation and temper his blood essence. I will help you create some chaos, and you can fight your way out."

Seeing that his chances of winning were too low, Xie Jinhuan stopped talking and blended into the crowd to conceal his presence, carefully waiting for his opportunity...
