Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Bai Jiu's house occupies a large area. Even though it has lacked some maintenance in recent years, it was only a little dirty and messy. After Zhao Yuanzhou used a few dust-purifying techniques, it became clean. Wen Xiao lit some incense, and the musty smell in the house was soon swept away.

Although Bai Jiu's father still looked confused due to years of drunkenness, after hearing that everyone was Bai Jiu's friend, he kept muttering something like asking Bai Jiu to treat everyone well. Bai Jiu helped his father into the house with a helpless look on his face and went to the corridor to get the medicine jar to cook sobering soup.

At night, everyone discussed countermeasures at Bai Jiu's house. Wen Xiao suggested that Bai Jiu stay in Tiandu City and pay close attention to the news of Jixin Hall. "I am not letting Xiao Jiu act alone, but everyone knows that Xiao Jiu was born in Jixin Hall. If Xiao Jiu leaves with us, I am afraid that the other party will be suspicious."

Bai Jiu agreed with Wen Xiao's suggestion very much. "I think so too. It was inappropriate for me not to go to Jixin Hall to check the situation right away today. If everyone 'left' tomorrow and I stayed quietly, that would be justified."

Zhuo Yichen looked at Ying Lei and said, "Why not let the little mountain god stay with Xiao Jiu openly? This way, he can take care of us. Anyway, the little mountain god has already shown his face."

So on the surface, what Ying Lei and Bai Jiu were going to do was settled.

Pei Sijing volunteered to monitor the actions of the Chongwu Camp: "I had some prestige when I was in the Chongwu Camp, so I can definitely find out some details. The most important thing for us right now is to determine the whereabouts of Doctor Wen and whether he is the one who led the underground experiments in Jixin Hall."

Zhuo Yichen took the black market mission: "I know how Chongwu Camp sells monster fur and flesh, and I also know the location of the black market in Tiandu City, so I will go to the black market to inquire about the information."

Wen Xiao objected: "None of us familiar faces can go to the black market, as it would easily alert the enemy. Why not ask Yuan Xin or Zhao Yuanzhou to go and take a look?"

Jiang Xinxin accepted the task directly: "I'll go to the black market. If I encounter any living monsters, I can take them away."

Zhao Yuanzhou saw that he could not help in any way, so he looked at the two younger ones, Yinglei and Baijiu, and suggested, "I will follow Yinglei and Baijiu secretly. The two of them are staying here alone on the surface, especially Yinglei, who is a mountain god. It would be bad if he was secretly detained by Wen Zongyu."

Ying Lei immediately jumped up to refute, feeling that Zhao Yuanzhou had underestimated him: "What are you talking about? How can I be the kind of loser who can be easily caught by a mere mortal!"

Is Zhao Yuanzhou still afraid of Ying Lei? He just gave him a casual look and said, "Then let's play two more times?"

Yinglei was speechless for a moment and sat back obediently.

Bai Jiu looked at Zhao Yuanzhou and remembered something, but he didn't know whether he should say it at this time. Everyone saw that he seemed to have something to say to Zhao Yuanzhou, so they prepared to create an opportunity for him and Zhao Yuanzhou to be alone together. So Zhuo Yichen asked everyone to go back to the Demon Hunting Bureau first, and signaled Zhao Yuanzhou to stay.

Seeing this, Bai Jiu felt that some things could no longer be concealed, so he asked everyone to stay and listen together.

Bai Jiu organized his words a bit before saying, "After I joined the Monster Hunting Division, I went back and told my master about Brother Zhao..."

"At that time, my master said that Brother Zhao was most likely the culprit for my mother's disappearance, and he needed Brother Zhao's inner elixir to save her, so he asked me to secretly drug Brother Zhao and make him gradually lose his five senses, so that his inner elixir would naturally leave his body, and he could take Brother Zhao's inner elixir..."

After hearing what Bai Jiu said, except for Jiang Xinxin, who had been prepared and had convicted Wen Zongyu of the crime, everyone else couldn't help but gasp.

Zhuo Yichen glanced at Zhao Yuanzhou nervously, and quickly asked Bai Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, how long have you been using that medicine?"

Bai Jiu waved his hand quickly: "It didn't take long, it was only once. I used the medicine once when Brother Zhao was injured before, and I didn't plan to continue!"

Wen Xiao was wondering what effect the demon clan's inner elixir could have on humans. In the past, she had only heard that the demon clan's inner elixir could help humans practice, but after all, they were different species, and humans were generally weak in physical fitness. She always felt that if humans used the demon clan's inner elixir, it would cause irreparable consequences.

Pei Sijing was also a little hesitant to speak, Jiang Xinxin noticed it and asked, "Miss Pei, you haven't heard anything here, have you?"

Although it has been confirmed that Zhao Yuanzhou is indeed harmless, Pei Sijing still remembers Zhu Yan's out-of-control rage eight years ago. Since Bai Jiu exposed his past today, she took advantage of the atmosphere to reveal a little about herself: "I haven't completely cut off contact with Chongwu Camp. Last night, someone asked me to mention Sinan Water Town under Kunlun Mountain in front of everyone."

Jiang Xinxin held her forehead with her hand and said, "It seems that someone has already set up a trap in Sinan Water Town, waiting for us to come to their door."

"But fortunately, the Shanhai Cun Realm in Yinglei's hands has not been exposed yet. We still have time to investigate Wen Zongyu's affairs first. And now it seems that Wen Zongyu is really colluding with some monsters in the Great Wilderness. One of them is plotting Bai Ze Ling, and the other is plotting Zhu Yan's inner elixir."

Ying Lei had vaguely heard about some things, and at this moment he couldn't help but bring it up: "I seem to have heard a demon complain, saying that they didn't know why the divine beast Bai Ze chose a human to lead the demon tribe, when the demon tribe could solve its own problems. Now, even the safety of the Great Wilderness depends on the goddess Bai Ze. After hearing this, many demon tribes are actually dissatisfied with the goddess Bai Ze."

Wen Xiao's face suddenly dimmed. She could not remember what happened at the beginning, which caused the Bai Ze Order to suddenly lose its effect, causing the Great Wilderness to lose balance and the environment to become harsh. However, even though she heard today that the demons in the Great Wilderness were no longer willing to be led by her, the Bai Ze Goddess, she was only slightly depressed for a moment, and immediately cheered up. Anyway, she would not admit defeat.

Zhuo Yichen saw that Wen Xiao had quickly regained his composure, so he continued to arrange tomorrow's affairs: "Then let's make arrangements like this for tomorrow. Wen Xiao and I will pretend to be on our way. Once we have fooled those people who are secretly following us, we will come back to Xiao Jiu and be ready to support everyone at any time."

Everyone had no objection and went back to the Monster Hunting Bureau together.

Early the next morning, the Demon Hunting Bureau and their group left the city in the morning light. Ying Lei and Bai Jiu found an excuse to leave the team and returned to Tiandu City. The rest of the people also left the team one by one according to the original arrangement. In the end, only Zhuo Yi Chen and Wen Xiao were left, who rode their horses to a small town a hundred miles away from Tiandu City and stayed in an inn.

However, Ying Lei used the Shanhai Cunjing to bring Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao back from Bai Jiu's house at night. Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao then pretended to leave overnight, causing the people who were secretly following them to completely lose track of the monster-hunting team.
