Chapter 1239: Chapter 952: Delivered to My Doorstep
"That’s right! Why didn’t I think of this before?" Peng Dahai suddenly felt enlightened, his heart brightening.
Since the Mountain Master is willing to shelter people from various backgrounds and has set up many arrays for protection, it shows he stands on the opposite side of the Righteous Cultivators. He’s heard rumors that the Mountain Master was chased by Righteous Cultivators in the Wilderness years ago, and had to hide in Qihan Mountain to survive.
This place is located at the Extreme North border, and with the Mountain Master having the advantage of time, location, and people, the so-called Righteous Cultivators can’t do anything, so they turn a blind eye and keep quiet.
Now thinking back, the rumors must be true!
Other Demon Cultivators disappearing for no reason have no one looking for them;
The Money Tree disappears offline, I can seek help from the Mountain Master! Even if it means offering more money, it’s easier than risking danger trying to develop an offline network, persuading them to seduce and allure the lustful.
Now the offline members haven’t been gone for long, they might not have left Qihan Mountain!
Thinking of this, the desperate Peng Dahai sincerely knelt facing the stone wall, placing his hands on it, and murmured, "Omnipotent Mountain Master of Qihan Mountain, your believer Peng Dahai seeks your help..."
On the other side, Jiang Yuan absorbed the lifespan from ten Evil Cultivators and completed interrogations. The information obtained was not very different.
Just small fry, can’t access the high-level management of the Leisure Sect, since their upper line is the old man Peng Dahai, let’s go capture him and interrogate his upper line!
But returning to the cave, the stall and the old man had long disappeared.
"Isn’t this a coincidence? Guess who just asked me for help?" Mist Dragon’s shadow swayed on the stone wall, laughing, "It’s exactly the old man you’re looking for! He’s in the Money Pit, let’s deal with this together, follow me."
Indeed, having the Mountain Master to lean on is handy; collaborating with the Mountain Master of Qihan Mountain makes it easy to locate whoever you want to catch, so convenient!
Walking through the rocky cave, Jiang Yuan was in a great mood.
This trip not only gained over a thousand years of lifespan but also sent about twenty subordinates to the old teacher. Gotta hurry into the dungeon for slicing later.
[Side Mission: Eliminate the Leisure Sect]
[Mission 3: Kill one hundred Leisure Sect members (9/100). Reward: Farmland Upgrade Card +100]
The latest message flashed in the vision, the old teacher successfully contaminated another one.
Becoming a freak at that moment, they are deemed dead by the system. So, not only can you farm missions for rewards but also gain a theoretically infinite slicing strong laborer; this is a big win!
Following Mist Dragon’s shadow, taking shortcuts in the occasionally opened paths, it wasn’t long before Jiang Yuan stood at the entrance of Money Pit.
The cave entrance had a huge, worn stone plaque, engraved with the words "Money Pit," made even more bleak and dim by the flickering flames on both sides.
But at a glance, inside it was rich and colorful.
Various flags hung in front of the entrance, the calls, and laughter mixed together, completely unlike the scene he had imagined, feeling more like a shopping street.
"Fourth house on the right, the shopfront with a pile of junk is Peng Dahai’s base." Mist Dragon directed, "He’s inside now, muttering at the stone wall."
Jiang Yuan couldn’t wait to push the door open.
"Creak~"
The old wooden door let out a low, aged sound, startling Peng Dahai, who was immersed in seeking the last straw for help. Turning his head, he was instantly stunned, "Hey? You, you..."
The Mountain Master manifested!
At that moment, Peng Dahai was both shocked and delighted, couldn’t care about anything else, jumped up and grabbed the boy wearing a bronze mask angrily, "Where did you take my girls?"
Surprised by the immediate arrival after begging the Mountain Master for help; delighted at finally being able to locate the whereabouts of the offline members, with the Mountain Master backing him, he didn’t believe this boy could escape!
Even Jiang Yuan didn’t expect the other party to be so proactive and enthusiastic, eagerly bringing himself to him, immediately grabbing back with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’ll take you to see them now."
Before the words were finished, the narrow, cramped, and dim shop already had no one inside.
"Tsk tsk, how exactly did you do it? Such quick, zero-spiritual-power fluctuation teleportation, really impressive!" Mist Dragon observed several times seriously, still baffled, could only quietly praise the other party’s clever methods.
Peng Dahai hadn’t responded yet, everything happening today was unexpected one after another. Stunned, he realized this place was already not his shop, but inside a magnificent and resplendent building.
No, didn’t the Mountain Master respond to my request, bringing this boy to the shop?
He himself had delivered on the doorstep, now, now what’s going on?
"You, you... is this the legendary Soul-Devouring Demon Skill?! You are also an Evil Cultivator!" Peng Dahai belatedly recognized, realizing all his spiritual power and vitality were being forcefully drawn out, his face turned deathly pale, shocked into a stupor.
Skillfully draining the other party to near life-and-death, Jiang Yuan let go, asking, "Answer my questions truthfully, and I can spare your life."
Peng Dahai never dreamed that pleading with the Mountain Master would effortlessly lead him face-to-face with the culprit. Facing prey voluntarily delivered, he had no power to resist, not only brought to this strange place but also had his lifespan drained.
Frightened and worried he might never regain his longevity, he lay trembling on the ground, asking, "Who the hell are you? I don’t recall ever having ties with you; no grudges in the past nor enmity recently, why are you targeting us?"
