Chapter 224: I admit, you're just an idiot!

After leaving Great Dragon Temple, it was already noon.

Before parting, Qin Shuo asked Grand Master Liaokong for the cultivation methods of the Six-Zhang Golden Body and the Diamond Sun Wheel.

This is a necessary condition for refining the third level of the Dragon Elephant Divine Ability.

As for shaping the divine intent into form and condensing the golden dragon and white elephant, the Dragon Elephant Monk's Dragon Elephant Golden Body Divine Intent Diagram already contains a record.

He only needs to wait for the conditions to mature, then refine the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Divine Intent Diagram to condense the true form of the Dragon Elephant.

"The Six-Zhang Golden Body and the Diamond Sun Wheel are both divine abilities of our Buddhist sect; their cultivation methods exist only within Mituo Temple, one of the Five Great Dao Sects."

Perhaps out of gratitude for Qin Shuo returning the Dragon Elephant Monk's heirloom relic, Grand Master Liaokong held nothing back.

He told Qin Shuo that the Dragon Elephant Holy Monk did not appear out of nowhere back then, but came from Mituo Temple, one of the Five Great Dao Sects.

All of his martial arts also originated from Mituo Temple.

Therefore, if Qin Shuo wishes to cultivate the third level of the Dragon Elephant Divine Ability and follow the Dragon Elephant Holy Monk's footsteps to the Martial Saint's Absolute Peak, he must inevitably visit Mituo Temple.

According to the Barefoot Monk, back then the Dragon Elephant Holy Monk was sent by Mituo Temple to garrison Cloud Prefecture, and only then did he establish his sect here.

Thus, strictly speaking, Great Dragon Temple is actually a branch of Mituo Temple.

However, Mituo Temple lies far away on the Northwest Heavenly Wolf Road, thousands of miles from Cloud Prefecture, and with a thousand years having passed, the connection between the two temples has grown thin.

But Grand Master Liaokong still gave Qin Shuo a letter of recommendation, telling him,

"If he ever wishes to join Mituo Temple someday, he can use this letter to gain an opportunity."

He went down the mountain along the mountain path.

Without realizing it, Qin Shuo had left the territory of Great Dragon Temple and was walking on the official road back to the city.

He held the horse's reins with one hand and lightly touched its mane with the other, eyes closed, breathing quietly and focusing his spirit, with no intention of hurrying back.

He knew that from the moment he left Great Dragon Temple, someone had already set their sights on him.

But those people seemed to fear his strength, never making a move, merely following him from a distance.

From Great Dragon Temple to Cloud Prefecture City is only thirty-odd li.

However, relying on the flourishing incense of Great Dragon Temple, travelers thronged this route, carriages and horses filled the road, thereby supporting many teahouses and restaurants.

Almost every five li, there was a resting spot, and moreover a small market town, bustling extraordinarily.

Qin Shuo saw that those tailing him delayed action, as if they were waiting for someone,

so he simply ducked into a restaurant, ordered some meat and drink, and began to feast heartily.

He firmly believed that as long as Wang Liehu and Xiao Yingqi weren't stupid, they would surely come.

Because merely relying on his unusually talented monster-hunting skills, they wanted to turn the tables and pin the blame of framing the Xiao family on him, which was really a stretch.

But if he died, and died while fleeing to avoid punishment, then it would be different.

"If I were Xiao Yingqi, I'd put on a full act—sending people out of the city to kill me while simultaneously fabricating evidence of my collusion with demons at my home, so that by then the evidence would be mountains high and incontrovertible…"

"Huh?"

Thinking this through, Qin Shuo suddenly felt that the likelihood of them acting this way was very high.

Especially since the Xiao family itself had close ties with the Ghost Mother Sect, it would not be hard for them to frame him.

"Perhaps, by using Xiao Yingqi's hand, I could find the Ghost Mother Sect's nest of sewer rats hidden within Cloud Prefecture City."

Qin Shuo secretly pondered this in his heart.

Regarding the Ghost Mother Sect, he had always been wary.

When he first arrived in Cloud Prefecture City, he was attacked by the Snake-Eagle Ghost Elder, whose behind-the-scenes director was the Ghost Mother Sect.

But these rats hid themselves too deeply, and their identities were extremely deceptive, making it hard to uncover them all.

Take the Xiao family, for example,

If he hadn't accidentally discovered the Tree Sprite Spirit, who would believe that one of the Four Great Families of Cloud Prefecture would actually collude with the Ghost Mother Sect?

And the recently appeared Earth-Escape Zombies, without a doubt, are also the work of the Ghost Mother Sect.

But it's unclear what their fundamental purpose is for causing trouble at this time.

Could it be that they did this just so Xiao Yingqi could clear the Xiao family's name, thus laying groundwork early, sending Earth-Escape Zombies to cause trouble in order to frame him?

If that's the case, then the Xiao family, or rather Xiao Yingqi's relationship with the Ghost Mother Sect, must be quite important.

If they could capture Xiao Yingqi, they might be able to flush out the true Ghost Mother Sect big rat hiding behind the Xiao family.

Thinking this, the food and drink on the table were quickly swept clean by him.

Just as he hesitated about changing venues, a wave of malice like a tide suddenly surged in from outside the teahouse.

He turned his head and saw a burly, square-faced middle-aged man with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, striding over.

Who else could it be but Wang Liehu?

"Qin Shuo, your affair has erupted!"

He was like a fierce tiger, his voice like thunder exploding.

Wang Liehu rested his hand on his sword hilt, bared a row of stark white teeth, his eyes fierce, and charged straight at Qin Shuo.

Clatter—

The patrons in the restaurant were all quick-witted,

seeing this scene, they had no doubt what would happen next, and hurriedly fled the restaurant.

Even the restaurant boss retreated from the back kitchen, not daring to stay in the shop any longer.

"Inspector Wang is so imposing, so full of killing intent."

In the empty restaurant, Qin Shuo grasped the wine jar and slowly poured liquor: "I don't know what matter Inspector Wang refers to; what is it?"

"You have colluded with demons and fled to avoid punishment; I, the official, have come here especially to arrest you!"

Wang Liehu strode forward like a dragon and tiger, and while speaking he had already stood outside the restaurant door, less than three zhang from Qin Shuo.

"Fleeing to avoid punishment?"

Qin Shuo lightly twisted the wine bowl with his finger, sneering: "Exactly as I thought!"

Huh?

Wang Li Hu's brow twitched slightly, feeling something off, but upon realizing the opponent's strength was only on par with Organ Refinement Great Accomplishment, he immediately relaxed again and sneered:

"How? You admitted it?"

"Since you've admitted it, then bind your own hands and come back with this official..."

"I admit it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Shuo directly interrupted him, chuckling:

"You're an idiot!"

"Huh?"

Hum~

Golden light suddenly appeared, incredibly bright!

Without any warning, Qin Shuo, like a ghost, abruptly appeared before Wang Li Hu.

He threw a punch.

The latter hadn't even had time to react,

then he heard a tremendous, terrifying dragon roar, accompanied by the chanting of gods and Buddhas across the sky, exploding in his mind with a boom!

Roar——!
