Li Shuang looked at Ye Zhaozhao's expression and found it quite amusing.
No wonder Ye Zhaozhao used to enjoy these tricks so much. Now that she was turning the tables, she found it quite fun herself.
Sheng Yuan looked at the situation and felt that something was off.
But he quickly suppressed that feeling and said coldly, "What's there to say about Ye Zhaozhao? Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there should be no problem with us helping out with this mission, right?"
"No matter what you say, this Fang Qingyu is still of unknown origin," Luo Mingyue said coldly. "Sheng Yuan, you are naturally foolish. If you want to believe her, believe her yourself, but don't drag us into it."
Ye Zhaozhao also started to get annoyed. How could these people from Ruthless Peak be so stubborn?
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in her mind.
"To gain their trust, you naturally have to give something first," the system's voice was steady. "Looking at the direction they're heading... Host, repeat what I say."
He was an abyssal demon seed, a born demon! And what was called the demonic path in this world were merely humans who cultivated demonic techniques, belonging to acquired demons. Although his current strength was weak, as long as it was a demonic technique, it couldn't escape his detection.
If it was the demonic path nearby...
The system already had a plan.
Ye Zhaozhao's eyes flickered, and she relayed the system's words: "Fellow Daoists, I am just a rogue cultivator, so it's normal for you not to trust me. However... if I may venture a guess, is your mission this time in Chengping Town?"
Luo Mingyue immediately looked at her with icy eyes, her hand already on the hilt of her sword.
Their mission was in Chengping Town. How did Fang Qingyu know about this?
Ye Zhaozhao quickly said, "A few months ago, I just came from the direction of Chengping Town. I have a magical artifact that can sense demonic energy. I sensed that in that small town, the demonic energy was overwhelming! I'm afraid there are many demons hidden there! My cultivation is low, and I knew I couldn't solve the problem of Chengping Town alone, so I had to leave first. Now that I've met you all, if we go together, we will surely be able to clear out the evil."
A small bell appeared in Ye Zhaozhao's hand: "This is a Demon-Attracting Bell. Once it senses demonic energy, it will react. With this bell, I think I can be of some help."
Li Shuang looked at the Demon-Attracting Bell, her eyes subtly moving.
The biggest difficulty in eliminating the demonic path was finding the people first.
After all, these demonic cultivators were becoming increasingly cunning. Since they dared to operate so close to the Sword Sect, their concealment methods must be extraordinary, and they wouldn't easily reveal demonic energy.
And this Ye Zhaozhao could directly find the demons.
Wouldn't this be a great help?
Moreover.
Ye Zhaozhao was parasitic on her, and she only targeted herself.
Based on her previous performance, she would not do anything bad to Luo Mingyue and the others; instead, she would try to curry favor with them.
To gain the trust of her senior brothers and sisters, Ye Zhaozhao would definitely put in a lot of effort for this demon-extermination mission!
Li Shuang had originally wanted to keep Ye Zhaozhao by her side to induce her to reveal her true colors.
Now.
Ye Zhaozhao had even brought out the Demon-Attracting Bell to gain everyone's trust.
What reason was there to refuse her?
Li Shuang looked at Luo Mingyue and the others: "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, this Fellow Daoist Fang does seem like a good person. Why don't we invite them along?"
Li Shuang suddenly changed her tone.
Luo Mingyue and the others' eyes flickered slightly, and they immediately agreed with Li Shuang's words.
Ye Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes at the situation.
These people from Ruthless Peak seemed to be led by Luo Mingyue, but the one actually controlling everything was Li Shuang?
Heh.
These people from Ruthless Peak indeed trusted Li Shuang enough.
And only such trust, once it collapsed, would make Li Shuang feel despair again!
"Then thank you all for your trust, fellow Daoists," Ye Zhaozhao suppressed her thoughts and said with a smile.
"Since you three want to join, you must follow my command throughout and not act without authorization. Do you understand?" Luo Mingyue said.
Sheng Yuan couldn't help but say, "We're here to help. If you don't thank us, fine, but how can you..."
Shen Yue tugged at his sleeve.
Sheng Yuan's face turned ugly, and he reluctantly shut his mouth.
"Senior Sister Luo, we understand," Shen Yue quickly said.
Ye Zhaozhao also nodded.
The group then headed towards Chengping Town.
When they arrived near Chengping Town, they landed, disguised themselves, and then entered the town like ordinary mortals.
As soon as they walked in.
A crowd of people suddenly surrounded them!
"Are you passing through? You seem to be new faces?"
"We have a good business opportunity here. Are you interested?"
Although it was a question, a pile of flyers was already shoved into their arms.
"Look. This is the 'Building a Home Together' plan. As long as you pay ten low-grade spirit stones in advance, you can join our plan. Afterwards, for every new person you introduce, you will get five low-grade spirit stones! Ten new people, that's fifty! New people bring in new people, layer by layer, how can you not get rich?"
"Our plan has low investment and high returns! Join us, and you will never regret it."
"If you're not satisfied with that, we also have a 'Golden Sunshine' plan here. This plan is amazing! Do you see this golden bottle in our hands? It contains light particles collected by a powerful being from the Sun Star! Mortals only need to carry the bottle with them to strengthen their bodies, and if they wear it for a long time, there's even a chance to spontaneously generate a fire spirit root! Such a thing that can change the future now only costs one mid-grade spirit stone! Do you want to buy a bottle and try it? If you like it for yourself, you can also get goods from me and sell them elsewhere! The wholesale price is one mid-grade spirit stone, but this item is so miraculous, selling it for several high-grade spirit stones later will be simple, won't it?"
"I have some here, I have some here too..."
These people eagerly pushed their wares.
Ye Zhaozhao was dumbfounded.
What the hell was this?
A pyramid scheme?
Was she not the only transmigrator in this world?
Ye Zhaozhao couldn't help but become a little wary.
Just as the group was surrounded.
An arrogant and overbearing voice rang out.
"Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way for this young master!"
Hearing this voice, everyone quickly made way.
Li Shuang looked in the direction of the voice.
She saw a round-bodied man holding a folding fan, fanning himself, and walking towards them with an arrogant swagger.
Li Shuang subconsciously glanced at Luo Mingyue and the others.
But they had already lowered their heads immediately, looking as if they couldn't bear to watch.
Li Shuang: "???"
"What are you all fighting for! These ones are Young Master Huang's people! All of you, scram!" the man said domineianly.
The people around him dared not object and scattered.
"Follow me!" the man raised an eyebrow, turned, and led the way.
Luo Mingyue and the others followed with desperate expressions.
Li Shuang: "..."
She asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister, is this..."
Luo Mingyue looked utterly lifeless, and she slowly nodded: "Although I really don't want to admit it, you guessed right."
Li Shuang couldn't help but glance at the man's back again.
This... was the legendary Third Senior Brother, Sui Jin?
