Chapter 414: My Father is Cai Yangqian (Second update, requesting everything)

Mental Shock!

Just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng activated the Mental Shock Secret Technique Imprint, transforming it into an invisible Mental Power shockwave that acted directly upon the young Monster Tamer's Consciousness Sea.

Boom~

The young Monster Tamer suddenly threw his head back, feeling a burst of explosive pain strike him; the Mental Power he had been gathering was instantly scattered, and the tremors in his Consciousness Sea showed signs of worsening.

Pfft~

The young Monster Tamer spat out another mouthful of blood, collapsed limply onto the ground, and fainted dead away.

The two sides appeared to be only one rank apart, but Li Zhangsheng's was Liquid Mental Power, which was naturally far superior in strength to the young Monster Tamer's Mental Power, not to mention that the young Monster Tamer himself was already in a state of mental concussion.

"Go!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the Three-Legged Fire Crow grabbed the young Monster Tamer and brought him into the depths of a nearby forest.

Splash~

The Giant Whale Kun used its tail to stand upright, sprayed a small Water Column from its mouth, and doused the young Monster Tamer's face.

Li Zhangsheng held a Jade Bottle in his hand, which contained a Mengpo Pill.

Under the impact of the cold Water Column, the young Monster Tamer groaned and woke up, clutching his head.

When the young Monster Tamer saw the situation clearly, his face instantly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with panic.

However, at the thought of his dead Terror Wolf, the young Monster Tamer could not help but feel a bit more resentment in his eyes.

Cultivating a Demon Pet requires a great deal of energy and time.

He had originally hoped to advance to the Fourth Rank this year, but now that he had lost the Terror Wolf, he feared it would take another year or two.

The young Monster Tamer did not give up hope and began to shout in a weak voice: "Who are you, and why do you want to harm me? My father is the Cai Clan Clan Leader Cai Yangqian, and he is also a Fifth Rank Stronger. If you kill me, my father will never let you go!"

The young Monster Tamer immediately revealed his backing, hoping that Li Zhangsheng would fear his father and retreat.

Upon hearing that he was Cai Yangqian's son, Li Zhangsheng's expression turned ferocious; he had not expected his luck to be so good that he would randomly capture someone and happen to run into Cai Yangqian's son.

Wearing a ferocious smile, Li Zhangsheng casually put away the Mengpo Pill.

"Your eyes make me very uncomfortable. Aixi, teach him a lesson!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng summoned Aixi.

A huge shadow enveloped the young Monster Tamer; Aixi stared at him for a moment, and without waiting for him to speak, opened its mouth and bit off his left hand.

Crack!

"Ah!"

The young Monster Tamer let out a miserable scream, his face twisted in pain, and he curled up on the ground like a boiled shrimp, then stared at Li Zhangsheng with increasingly resentful eyes, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

Aixi looked down at him, then spat out his left hand with an expression of utter disgust.

"I ask, you answer! If your answers satisfy me, perhaps I will spare your life!"

Li Zhangsheng began to repeat the interrogation pattern he had used on the Four-Winged Fallen Angel yesterday; like the Four-Winged Fallen Angel, he did not intend to leave any survivors.

Since he was Cai Yangqian's son, how could Li Zhangsheng possibly let him go?

Li Zhangsheng naturally understood the principle that if you do not pull out the weeds by the roots, they will grow again in the spring breeze; he could not give the other party a chance to take revenge.

The young Monster Tamer finally caught his breath and panted, "Will you really spare me?"

"Do you think you have any other choice? Of course, you can choose not to answer, but you should know the consequences!"

The young Monster Tamer was silent for a long time, and in order to survive, he could only choose to agree in the end.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng took out the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl, which hovered slightly in front of him, emitting a water-blue halo.

"This is a lie-detecting treasure; as long as you lie, it will light up. If I find out you are lying, you will become its dinner!"

The Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl naturally had no lie-detecting function; Li Zhangsheng was merely trying to bluff the young Monster Tamer to avoid the possibility of being deceived.

If the other party recognized the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl, Li Zhangsheng would just have to accept his bad luck.

Aixi, standing to the side, cooperated by baring its full set of fangs, four of which were as sharp as swords and quite terrifying.

"Ask away!"

Seeing Aixi's fangs, the young Monster Tamer shuddered and could not help but tremble all over.

Li Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, looked down at the young Monster Tamer, and asked: "First question, what is your name?"

"Caimingshu!"

Caimingshu looked at Li Zhangsheng and answered weakly.

"Second question, what family members do you have?"

Li Zhangsheng had investigated Cai Yangqian's family in advance, and this time he just wanted to confirm it.

Hearing this question, Caimingshu could not help but hesitate.

"You can choose not to answer!" Li Zhangsheng shrugged and signaled to Aixi with his eyes.

Aixi took a step forward, and Caimingshu was startled, hurriedly saying: "I'll say, I'll say! Besides my father, I have a brother!"

As Caimingshu spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl.

"What about your mother?"

"She passed away five years ago!" Caimingshu counted on his fingers, afraid of remembering the year wrong.

A smile appeared on Li Zhangsheng's face; Caimingshu's answer was consistent with the intelligence he had gathered, and at least so far, he had not lied.

"Where is your brother?"

"He is at the Manor right now!"

Caimingshu did not hesitate; his relationship with his younger brother was not good because his father, Cai Yangqian, clearly favored his brother.

Li Zhangsheng asked casually: "Then what about your father?"

This was Li Zhangsheng's most important question.

Caimingshu did not suspect anything and answered honestly: "Father went on a long trip last night and has not returned yet; I don't know where he went either!"

Just at this moment, the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl lit up.

"You are lying!" Li Zhangsheng scolded, and Aixi, at his side, took a step forward, filled with deep malice.

Caimingshu's eyes were full of astonishment, followed immediately by panic, "No, I didn't say..."

Before Caimingshu could finish, Aixi raised her right claw, which was as large as a washbasin, and with a shrill whistling of wind, she swiped it directly across.

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Caimingshu's head twisted violently, and a huge gash appeared on his neck, nearly separating his head from his body, as countless blood sprayed out like a fountain.

Caimingshu clutched his neck in pain, his eyes filled with confusion and unwillingness.

I really didn't lie!

In the span of two or three breaths, Caimingshu stopped moving entirely.

Li Zhangsheng retracted the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl and, looking down at Caimingshu's corpse, said, "Rest assured, you won't be lonely!"

Soon, Li Zhangsheng disposed of Caimingshu's corpse.

Li Zhangsheng naturally did not forget to loot Caimingshu's personal belongings, though unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng did not find any of them worth his notice, so he casually put them away.

After confirming that Cai Yangqian had not returned all night, Li Zhangsheng took out a map.

This was a map of Yuan Province, which he had exchanged for using his Authority at the Yuanling Academy; it was far more detailed than an ordinary map.

Li Zhangsheng carefully compared the map and finally decided to head to the Red Maple Forest near Liyang City to set an ambush.

This was also the best ambush location nearby.

If Cai Yangqian had truly gone to Luojing Mountain, there was a high probability he would pass through the Red Maple Forest on his return journey.

The Three-Legged Fire Crow was extremely fast, and in just five minutes, Li Zhangsheng entered the territory of the Red Maple Forest.

The Red Maple Forest was just as its name suggested; what it had most were maple trees. Once early autumn arrived, the maple leaves would turn bright red, resembling a sea of fire.

Under Li Zhangsheng's guidance, the Three-Legged Fire Crow circled and landed on a maple tree. Because the Three-Legged Fire Crow's aura was too intense, the wild Spirit Beasts nearby fled in panic.

The Red Maple Forest was not large, covering only about a dozen miles, which was one of the reasons Li Zhangsheng chose this place.

"Three-Legged Fire Crow, Cold Jade Rabbit, try your best to restrain your auras!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head; if these two fellows did not actively restrain their auras, they would be like lights in the darkness, and an ambush would become a pipe dream.

The Three-Legged Fire Crow nodded in a human-like manner and tried its best to restrain its aura.

The Cold Jade Rabbit in Li Zhangsheng's arms did not pay much attention to him, but when Li Zhangsheng took out a carrot, its eyes immediately lit up.

"Cold Jade Rabbit, as long as you are obedient, you will have all the carrots you can eat!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, and a small mountain of carrots appeared on the ground; these were what Ning Bizhen had given him.

Ning Bizhen knew the Cold Jade Rabbit's personality very well; if one wanted it to exert effort, carrots were a necessity.

Mi~

The Cold Jade Rabbit hurriedly nodded, trying its best to restrain its aura, then moved its short legs and quickly pounced toward the mountain of carrots.

In the blink of an eye, the Cold Jade Rabbit was submerged by the carrot mountain and disappeared from sight.

Li Zhangsheng shook his head with amusement; if the Cold Jade Rabbit were his Demon Pet, he feared he would have to start a life of small fights every three days and big fights every five days.

Li Zhangsheng did not summon his own Demon Pets, as that would be too eye-catching and easily detected by Cai Yangqian.

A Fifth-tier Beastmaster like Cai Yangqian had extremely keen senses, and his subconscious awareness of danger was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

What followed was only waiting; Li Zhangsheng did not even release his Mental Power, and could only use the sharp eyes of the Three-Legged Fire Crow to capture the surrounding environment.

If it were a place with open terrain, the Three-Legged Fire Crow could see scenes a hundred miles away, and even in the dense Red Maple Forest, it was enough to take in the entire forest.

During the wait, time passed slowly, and the sun gradually moved from the center to the western mountains, casting a dim, yellow glow.

Soon, night began to fall.

A crescent moon began to appear on the horizon, casting a faint light dotted by starlight.

Li Zhangsheng had plenty of patience; like a hunter, he waited quietly in the dark.

However, Li Zhangsheng could not help but feel a bit anxious, fearing that Cai Yangqian had already returned to the Cai Clan Manor.

Li Zhangsheng could not attack the Cai Clan Manor alone; otherwise, only failure would await him.

Suddenly, the Three-Legged Fire Crow at his side landed silently, patted Li Zhangsheng with its wing, and then pointed in one direction with its claw, signaling that someone was coming.

If nothing went wrong, the prey was about to enter the trap.

Today's goal: Three, Pig, Evidence!
