Chapter 124: Chicken Spirit and Dog Monster

Limited by the perceptions of his past life, these types of Yinchai should not be as useful as the Yinchai who were human in their past lives, and they could only handle some unimportant matters. Seeing that Ji Laowu had a strong desire to confide, shaking his head and chattering endlessly, looking as if he would not stop until he had finished speaking, Su Yuanshan had no choice but to cough heavily, hoping he would have some self-awareness, but Ji Laowu still babbled on and on, spraying spittle everywhere.

However, just as he was at the height of his excitement, he felt Gou Laoliu kick him, and he froze for a moment, appearing somewhat dissatisfied.

"Laoliu, what are you doing? I..."

Seeing Gou Laoliu pout at him, he finally realized he had displeased his superior, and could not help but break out in a cold sweat, hurriedly apologizing to Su Yuanshan.

"This subordinate is guilty. The Prefect is busy with ten thousand matters a day, yet I am here chattering about trivial trifles, wasting your precious time; I truly deserve to die."

As he spoke, he even remorsefully hammered his own head with his hand.

Su Yuanshan thought to himself, this guy really has the brain capacity of a chicken; even that Gou Laoliu is much better than him.

At this moment, he saw Gou Laoliu cup his hands and ask.

"I wonder why the Prefect has appeared in this place? And... these mortals behind you... are?"

Glancing at the unconscious Lv Qingshan, Cailian, Xie Lingyu, and the others, Gou Laoliu did not dare to ask further.

Su Yuanshan pointed at Lv Qingshan and Cailian, and said indifferently.

"These two are from the Profound Cloud Temple, and the other two are from the Jade Light Sword Sect. They have some connection with this seat. The reason I summoned you here is to have you send them safely back to their sects. Can you do it?"

The two Yinchai looked at each other and said in unison.

"No!"

"What?" Su Yuanshan was stunned, and let out a cold snort!

Gou Laoliu hurriedly said.

"The Prefect's affairs are our affairs. What we meant was that for such matters, the Prefect does not need to ask for our opinions at all; just command us directly!"

Su Yuanshan: "..."

He thought to himself, so that's how it is; I actually thought they were going to rebel!

As expected, the comprehension of chickens and dogs is different from that of humans!

So he nodded and said.

"Then go and do it quickly. Remember, you must send them safely to their destination; otherwise, this seat will hold you accountable!"

"Understood! We are off!"

Ji Laowu and Gou Laoliu instantly transformed into a gust of ghostly wind, swept up Lv Qingshan, Xie Lingyu, and the others, and drifted toward the sky.

Seeing them fly higher and higher until they gradually disappeared from sight, Su Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief and said with his hands behind his back.

"With this matter finished, I should return as well! I must go back and properly prepare for how to eliminate Baie Hou! Now that his three Blood Slaves have been slain, causing him to completely lose his ability to be immortal, this must be his weakest moment. But I must also act with caution; I will return to the Huangliang County Chenghuang Temple to plan carefully with everyone, striving for absolute certainty!"

Baie Hou, oh Baie Hou, the matter between you and me can finally be settled! I want to see what the result of your so-called 'the green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow forever,' and your so-called 'repaying a hundredfold' will be! That's right, I am waiting, I have always been waiting! Waiting for the moment you pay the true price for provoking this seat!"

Su Yuanshan was just about to leave when he suddenly felt his body jolt, and a surge of Qi and blood churned within his internal organs. He hurriedly circulated his Qi to regulate it, and it took quite a while to recover, but he was very surprised internally.

He was somewhat confused! He looked vigilantly at the surrounding ancient graves, withered grass, cold wind, and bright moon, and could not help but place a question mark in his heart.

What is going on?

Could someone be plotting against me?

His divine sense swept over the surroundings of the Gumu, but he did not discover anything unusual.

Or is it that I was plotted against while inside the Taoyuan Jinxu, but never noticed it?

Su Yuanshan used his divine sense to check his own body and his Spirit Void Ring, and finally, he found the source of the abnormality.

The source was precisely the Chenghuang Demon-Slaying Sword. He saw that an extremely tiny crack had appeared on the hilt, so tiny that it could not be seen with the naked eye, a hundred times thinner than a hair, and the crack was extremely short. Perhaps others would not consider this a big problem.

But out of caution, Su Yuanshan listed it as a major problem! After all, the Chenghuang Demon-Slaying Sword is one of his tools for survival; he cannot allow any problems, not even the smallest one.

After all, the lesson that a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant nest is too profound! Who knows if this small problem will accumulate over time, produce a chain reaction, and become a big problem?

But he had no clue for the moment on how to repair this Chenghuang Demon-Slaying Sword.

It is certainly impossible to just find any random blacksmith to repair this thing.

The materials for its repair and the person to perform the repair are likely not easy to find.

Forget it, I will go back and ask Wen Panguan and the others later.

Su Yuanshan made up his mind, then used his 'Cloud Raising' divine office to summon clouds and mist, and then rode the clouds and mist toward the Huangliang County Chenghuang Temple.

Upon landing, Su Yuanshan originally thought that Wen Panguan, Wu Panguan, and the stewards of the other six divisions would come to welcome him, but not a single one of them came out. The first one to run over excitedly when he returned was the little white fox, followed by several ghost officials.

Seeing Su Yuanshan, they all bowed in unison.

"Respectfully welcome the Prefect back to the residence!"

The temple keeper was originally in his room reading intently when he suddenly felt a gust of ghostly wind blow past, causing the candlelight to flicker and dim.

He hurriedly shielded the candle flame with his hand. Feeling that there seemed to be some movement outside, he put on his clothes, picked up his night-patrol paper lantern, and pushed the door open to walk out, wanting to see what the situation was and if a thief had entered the Chenghuang Temple.

However, he carried the paper lantern and walked around the temple, but found nothing. In fact, he did not know at all that while he was patrolling the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple,

Su Yuanshan and several ghost officials were talking in the hall, but he could not see anything. He even walked through the bodies of the ghost officials; to him, it felt like just a patch of transparent air. It was only when passing through the bodies of the ghost officials that he felt a bit cold; he even blew on his hands, trying to make them warmer. In his view, it was late autumn after all, so it was normal to be cold, and he did not think much of it.

Su Yuanshan chose to ignore the temple keeper who came to patrol; he ignored him when he arrived, and he ignored him when he left. However, the little white fox saw the temple keeper coming and hurriedly hid behind the statue. It was not until the temple keeper had carried his lantern and left the main hall, and his footsteps had gradually disappeared, that it crawled out from behind the statue, jumped in front of Su Yuanshan, and said in a shrill voice.

"Prefect, you have finally come. Xiaobai was worried to death. After I finished handling the matter, I originally wanted to go back to find you, but I don't know what happened; I just couldn't find the entrance to the Taoyuan Xujing."

Su Yuanshan nodded slightly and asked.

"How did you handle that matter? Did you see that cultivator? Did he say anything strange to you? Who did you take with you?"

The little white fox replied.

"I originally did intend to take a few Yinchai with me, but then I thought, this is a task you entrusted to me, and it is very simple. If I couldn't even handle this little thing, wouldn't I be failing your cultivation? So I went by myself. Fortunately, I found that person, but his condition didn't seem very good; he had lost a lot of blood, but he didn't say anything strange. He just asked me to pass on one word to you."
