Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe was startled to find a sleazy middle-aged man suddenly in the room. He stared at the uninvited guest with wide eyes and said coldly, "Senior, your uninvited presence is a violation of the mall's rules. If I shout, someone will come immediately. By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to. If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened."

The man who came was Zhou Baitong. He replied in a frivolous tone, "Boy, do you think I'm afraid? I'm telling you, I've set up a barrier. Even if you scream at the top of your lungs, no one will hear you. The more you scream, the more excited I get."

Zhao Shanhe felt a wave of nausea wash over him upon hearing this. He had never imagined that someone so perverted could exist in the world of immortal cultivation. He was enraged. With a flash of his body, he instantly grabbed Zhou Baitong's neck and slapped him hard several times. In the blink of an eye, a perfect pig's head appeared before his eyes.

You know, Zhou Baitong was at least at the Spiritualization Stage, but what shocked him was that he was completely powerless in the opponent's hands. Despite struggling hard, his body was unable to break free. Just as his spirit was about to leave his body, he felt a sudden and powerful suction force, which frightened him to death and he hurriedly pulled his spirit back. Only then did he realize, as if awakened from a dream, that the person before him was not a small cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, but a terrifying demon at the Spiritualization Stage. So, he begged for mercy in horror, "Senior, I am here to search for lost items under the orders of Miss Qian Er. I mean no offense. Please, for the sake of the Merchant Alliance Leader, let me go."

Zhao Shanhe's face darkened, and he said coldly, "You're using your wealth to pressure me, but I haven't settled my accounts with him yet. If you want to survive, it depends on whether the price you pay is enough to appease my wrath."

Zhou Baitong reluctantly handed over the storage ring. Zhao Shanhe examined it and was quite satisfied. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage wasn't that easy to kill. If he put up a fight, the outcome would be unpredictable. It was best to withdraw while the going was good. So, he said, "How did you find me? Don't even think about lying. I'm an expert in mind reading."

"Replying to Senior, I use my sense of smell."

Zhao Shanhe nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are quite honest."

Zhou Baitong felt relieved, secretly rejoicing that his life had finally been saved! However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp pain suddenly came from his nose.

"Ah!" He couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Zhao Shanhe snorted coldly and said, "If you dare to sniff it again, I'll cut off your nose! Get out now."

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Baitong took off running, fearing the demon would change its mind and return to killing him. Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but sigh. The world is truly full of wonders. Someone could actually find him using just their nose. That Divine Transformation cultivator just now was a bit too cowardly. He really should have asked his name.

At the same time, Qian Shishi suddenly saw a monster with a pig's head and a human body appear in front of her, and she was immediately frightened and turned pale. She screamed loudly, "Zhou Baitong, you damn bastard! You actually disguised yourself as a pig demon to scare me! Brother Ouyang, I'm so scared, hold me tight!"

Ouyang Shaogong helplessly hugged Qian Shishi in his arms, and couldn't help sighing in his heart that it was really shameless for a Yuanying stage cultivator to need the protection of a Jindan stage cultivator. He couldn't even show his disgust on his face, and he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong.

Zhou Baitong said aggrievedly, "Second Miss, I didn't want this to happen either. That thief was the Demon King in disguise. After he beat me up, the swelling on my face hasn't gone down."

Qian Shishi didn't feel any sympathy after hearing this. Instead, she flew into a rage and shouted, "Nonsense! If the Demon King had come to the mall, how could I not know? Come over here, I'll help you figure out what's going on."

Zhou Baitong walked over. Qian Shishi examined him, thought for a moment, and said, "So he was hit by the Vajra Fist. No wonder the swelling can't go away. This person must be a remnant of the Vajra Sect. Take my token and capture him for me. You must recover Brother Ouyang's things."

"Second Miss, my nose was broken, and it will be difficult to find this person. Let's just forget it." Zhou Baitong was scared after being beaten, and he felt that the man was a devil.

When Ouyang Shaogong heard the Vajra Fist, he suddenly thought of Zhao Shanhe and couldn't help but wonder, could it be him? He quickly dismissed the idea, feeling that he was being too fanciful. Zhou Baitong was a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage. How could he be beaten by Zhao Shanhe?

Qian Shishi said coldly, "When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. No matter who it is, they have to pay the price. Go and do it."

Zhou Baitong left with the token Qian Shishi had dropped. Accompanied by several Spiritualization Stage cultivators, he felt much bolder, searching for the man who had assaulted him. Zhao Shanhe, of course, wasn't going to stay in the inn like a fool; he had already changed his appearance and left.

After days of searching, several Divine Transformation cultivators still couldn't find any trace of the man Zhou Baitong had mentioned. It was as if he had vanished without a trace. In desperation, they turned to Tianjizi, hoping his divination skills could help them deduce information about the thief.

Tianjizi took out his divination tools and fiddled with them for a while before suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Qian, the person you are looking for is named Zhao Shanhe. He is currently located in the northwest. Do not provoke him unless necessary."

Upon hearing this, the Qian family's Spiritualization Stage cultivator frowned and asked, "Why?"

Tianjizi sighed and said, "This man is a calamity sent down to earth. Wherever he passes, corpses are left strewn and rivers of blood flow. That's all I have to say. Everyone, take care of yourselves and return."

After hearing this, everyone bid farewell to Tianjizi. Zhou Baitong looked troubled and advised the Divine Transformation cultivator surnamed Qian, "Fellow Daoist Qian, in my opinion, let's just drop this matter. I'll go back and explain clearly to the Second Young Lady that we can't find the person."

However, the Divine Transformation cultivator surnamed Qian responded with disdain, "Humph! I'm not as cowardly and incompetent as you."

Zhao Shanhe was about to leave via the teleportation array when he saw a group of people approaching, a feeling of unease rising within him. Zhou Baitong spotted someone in the crowd brimming with alluring energy, arousing his suspicion. Though their appearance and aura had completely changed, he was certain it was the demon. He said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, it seems to be that person." Zhou Baitong wasn't pointing to Zhao Shanhe's location, but to the Nascent Soul cultivator beside him.

As the teleportation array activated, Zhao Shanhe left the mall. Zhou Baitong said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, I was mistaken. This person is not him."

The Divine Transformation cultivator surnamed Qian said, "Zhou Baitong, did you do this on purpose? That person was right inside the teleportation array."

Zhou Baitong replied, "Fellow Daoist Qian, it's better to have less trouble than more. I'm doing this for your own good."
