Chapter 262: One Yaksha Pill

That night, Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan left under the cover of night.

Meilong Town was not the previous Guanglu Prefecture, so the city walls were naturally far inferior.

How could the land of a prefecture and the land of a town be mentioned in the same breath?

"This Fang Yiliu is also a talent; after his spirit beast died, he actually left his hometown directly."

"Sure enough, everyone has their own horizons." Chu Danqing looked at the wooden house not far away.

During the day, Chu Danqing had inquired about Fang Yiliu; he couldn't be called heinous, but he was indeed wicked to the core.

Without the spirit beast Black-Horned Dog, he himself didn't deserve to die.

These retaliations might not count for much individually, but piled together, they could potentially take his life.

Not long after the news of his Black-Horned Dog's death spread, he had already packed his gold and silver and run away.

Now the other party was staying in a dilapidated wooden house, which should be a temporary residence built by a hunter or a medicinal farmer.

However, it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and it was rare for anyone to live there.

"This person can be considered clever; if he were a bit more diligent and used it on the right path, his life would at least be lived with relish." Yang Qianyuan followed and said.

The two had been squatting here for half an hour, chatting intermittently.

As for what the opportunity was, neither of them knew.

Yang Qianyuan did think about performing another heavenly calculation, but was stopped by Chu Danqing.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it wasn't necessary.

Heavenly calculation wasn't just about consuming some energy; it would also reduce one's lifespan.

It was just that Yang Qianyuan's strength wasn't enough, and the results of the heavenly calculation were blurry, so the reduction was small.

Chu Danqing had learned this later.

Last time, Yang Qianyuan used heavenly calculation to help him find the spirit beast he needed, which not only caused the Prophecy Spider to suffer backlash for exceeding its ability but also cost Yang Qianyuan at least a year of his life.

Yang Qianyuan didn't say it, but Chu Danqing wasn't dead, so he naturally would inquire about the news himself.

He kept these things in his heart, waiting for a chance to sign an alliance and then buy some life-extending pills from the Guo family.

With life-extending pills, Yang Qianyuan wouldn't be invincible, but he would be unique.

"Silence, Fei Di says someone is coming." Yang Qianyuan reminded him immediately.

About a minute later, a faint light flashed in the sky.

"Good boy, I finally found you." They saw an old man sitting on a huge bat, landing directly in front of the wooden house.

Chu Danqing recognized this bat; it was called the Nether-Wing Night Bat, a spirit beast that could only exert its full power at night, belonging to nocturnal spirit beasts.

During those days coming to Meilong Town, Chu Danqing hadn't just been cultivating Da Bao; he had also purchased quite a few books related to spirit beasts to supplement his knowledge.

Among them were naturally illustrated books, which allowed him to recognize many types of spirit beasts.

The old man's Nether-Wing Night Bat tore open the wooden house door with one claw; Fang Yiliu was scared out of his wits, and after seeing who it was, he hugged the old man's thigh with a thud.

"Senior, it wasn't that I ran away on purpose, it was really because I..." Fang Yiliu wailed, but was interrupted by the old man before he could finish.

"Shut up, let me ask you, where is the person who contacted you before? Why are they all dead?" The old man first scolded him, then asked coldly.

He didn't care what happened to this rascal; the point was that the transit station he had planted before had been wiped out.

It should have happened last night.

Li Fengjie could be transported out without anyone knowing, besides the seven people at the Wilderness Inn, it was also thanks to his mediation.

Otherwise, how could Fang Yiliu have done it alone?

As for why he didn't do it himself despite being so strong, it was simple: he had already guessed from Prince Ning's series of layouts that the other party was going to rebel.

If he wanted to move from the shadows to the light in the future, he had to do less of this kind of dirty work.

So he found a scapegoat to do it for him.

If anything happened in the future, it wouldn't fall on him.

He waited a day and prepared to ask how the situation of sending Li Fengjie out went, but everyone was gone.

According to the traces at the scene, he dug up the corpses of the personnel and spirit beasts.

But he only found these clues; the rest of the traces had been buried.

After thinking about it, he could only come to ask Fang Yiliu.

And then a more problematic thing happened: he couldn't find Fang Yiliu after arriving in Meilong Town, and upon inquiring, he learned that he had run away.

And the landlady of the Dragon-Phoenix Inn, whom they had kidnapped, had also returned.

Under this coincidence, it was clear that he knew something; otherwise, why would Fang Yiliu run?

Fortunately, he was finally found.

"Dead? That shouldn't be... I don't know." Fang Yiliu felt his hair stand on end.

Then he understood that he had been drawn into some vortex, but he was also sharp-minded and found the clue immediately.

"I know, it was those two people who saved Li Fengjie; they did it." Fang Yiliu wasn't making baseless guesses and immediately told what he had encountered today.

However, he distorted and tampered with some of it during the process.

The old man's eyes flickered after listening.

When there are too many coincidences, it's not a coincidence.

"Spirit beast died, Purple Mansion backlashed, you are now useless." The old man said, taking out a blood-red crystal: "It's not convenient for me to take action on this matter."

"But you are useless, and it just so happens I have a Yaksha Pill; if you take it, you can gain the power of a Yaksha."

"Initially, you will be a Yaksha Soldier; if you find some blood food to supplement, you can have the power of a Yaksha General with at most ten or so people."

"Although it's not as good as a spirit beast, it's far from ordinary; it won't be difficult to bypass those two people's spirit beasts and capture them."

"If you are still not sure, you can supplement with another hundred people and gain the power of a Yaksha King."

"Meilong Town is just a poor place with no strong people; you will definitely be able to capture them alive." After saying this, the old man violently shoved the so-called Yaksha Pill into Fang Yiliu's mouth.

Fang Yiliu couldn't react, and the Yaksha Pill was already in his stomach.

The next moment, power that didn't belong to humans but to spirit beasts surged within his body.

The power of the Yaksha surged from the inside out, forming bat wings on his back and simultaneously covering his face, turning into a mask similar to a Yaksha face.

The expansion of power made Fang Yiliu look intoxicated.

"Thank you, Senior, I..." Fang Yiliu knelt and said gratefully, but the next moment, the Yaksha power condensed into a steel fork in his hand, piercing through the old man's chest in an instant.

"I have nothing to repay you with, I can only send you on your way, Senior."

Fang Yiliu stood up slowly and pulled out the steel fork fiercely.

"Those two look extraordinary; how much chance of winning does the Yaksha power have?" Fang Yiliu was very clear-headed.

Since the old man could find out his situation and catch up, how could he not know Li Fengjie's situation?

Then the question arose: why did the old man go to the trouble of letting him take action to capture people?

Fang Yiliu only reached one conclusion: the old man wasn't an opponent either and wanted him to be cannon fodder to attract attention.

So he struck first.

"You, you, how dare you..." Before the old man could finish his sentence, he died on the spot.

The Nether-Wing Night Bat didn't have time to act before it suffered backlash due to its master's death.

After a mournful cry, it collapsed powerlessly.

Fang Yiliu naturally chose to cut weeds and eliminate roots, holding the steel fork and stabbing it into the Nether-Wing Night Bat's head.

The spirit beast's strength was far superior to humans; even though the Nether-Wing Night Bat suffered backlash, it wasn't killed by one fork.

Fang Yiliu didn't relax until he had used the fork to smash the Nether-Wing Night Bat's head into a pulp.

"Hoo, hoo, I must leave as soon as possible to find blood food." Fang Yiliu could feel the Yaksha power in his body receding.

Whether it was the bat wings, the steel fork, or the enhancement of his own strength, they all consumed Yaksha power.

This power wasn't permanent; once it hit bottom, it would disappear completely.

So he needed blood food to maintain and grow.

As for returning to Meilong Town for revenge? He didn't have that thought at all.

It wouldn't be too late to come back after the Yaksha power in his body grew to the level of a Yaksha King.

"I hope this old thing has some silver on him." Fang Yiliu withdrew the Yaksha power into his body and prepared to loot the corpse.

"No need to be so troublesome; I can burn some for you after you die."

Not far away, a voice that made Fang Yiliu's hair stand on end appeared.

This voice was exactly the person who killed his Purple Mansion spirit beast, the Black-Horned Dog, during the day.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a blood shadow coming toward him in the night.

Without a word, the Yaksha power that had just been restrained was released in an instant, turning into bat wings to take flight, and he turned and ran.

But the whistling wind behind him made Fang Yiliu's heart sink lower and lower.

Although he didn't turn his head to look, it didn't hinder his perception.

After all, he had the Yaksha power blessing his body.

Rip~

The sound of cloth tearing behind him entered his ears first, followed by a burning pain in his back.

But this was just the beginning; the sharp claws sank into his flesh and blood, and he could feel the Yaksha power in his body beginning to dissipate.

"No, I..." Fang Yiliu wanted to beg for mercy, but he was a step too late.

Da Bao's sharp claws pierced through his back into his body, grabbing his heart in an instant.

The next moment, it was forcibly pulled out and crushed into meat paste.

Because of the host's death, the Yaksha power dissipated instantly.

At the same time, an excellent-tier treasure chest appeared on his corpse.

Da Bao brought it back directly.

Chu Danqing saw it and didn't care much.

An excellent-tier treasure chest was basically equivalent to a chicken rib.

If it had shining patterns, it would be a good thing, but unfortunately, it didn't.

He threw it into his storage space casually, waiting to open it when he had time.

"The opportunity should be on this old man, right?" Chu Danqing squatted down and looked at the old man's corpse, asking.

"Yes, but it should be related to that so-called Yaksha Pill." Yang Qianyuan said: "This thing is indeed miraculous, actually being able to make people possess the power of a spirit beast."

Chu Danqing began to loot the corpse; the old man's body was stuffed full of things.

Most of them were pills, and there were also some books among them; he didn't know how this person could carry so many things.

It could only be said that this clothing was indeed sturdy and durable.
