I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master Chapter 191 - The Rumor of the Demon

Chapter 191: The Rumor of the Demon

“Strange, what’s going on?”
Liu Changgong was very confused.
He went to the tavern to buy some roast chicken and saw that the tavern owner was also worried. He asked, “Shopkeeper, may I ask what happened to the Grand Moon Sect?”
The tavern owner looked around and made sure that he was not idle. Then, he pulled Liu Changgong aside and said in a low voice, “Mr. Liu, you have been engrossed in poetry and painting all day. Maybe you don’t know what’s going on in the outside world.”
“It’s not that something happened to the Grand Moon Sect, but something big happened in the cultivation world!”
“I heard that two demons appeared in the cultivation world. They seemed to be looking for something and were killing people everywhere. Several sects of the same scale as the Grand Moon Sect were exterminated by them. The demon was extremely cruel and didn’t even spare mortals. Therefore, everyone was in danger and didn’t want to stay for too long. Who knew if the demon would come to the Grand Moon Sect in the next moment? Right now, the sect is deserted and business isn’t good, and even lives are in danger. Mr. Liu, you have to make preparations early. The demon won’t spare you just because you are a high-class person.”
Listening to the shopkeeper’s introduction, Liu Changgong was amazed.
As expected, mortals were like ants in the world of cultivation.
Although he had made a name for himself in the circle of cultivators by relying on his ‘skills’ and the cultivators called him Senior when they saw him, he still had to run around like an ordinary mortal in this kind of situation, without a fixed place to live.
The thing that made Wang Yuyan nervous today was probably the birth of the demon.
The possibility was very high.
Unfortunately, he was only a mortal and couldn’t help much.
Liu Changgong was thinking about whether he could send a few paintings to help Wang Yuyan and the others ease their mood, when he heard the restaurant manager say to him:
“Mr. Liu, let me remind you. The two demons, one old and one young, are full of old hair, and there are no pupils in their eyes. One is black and the other is white. If you have seen them before, you must stay away from them to avoid unexpected disasters.”
“Okay.”
Liu Changgong was about to thank them when he suddenly thought of Weiqi who was still in the small courtyard. His eyelids twitched.
Twitching eyelids was not a good sign.
Liu Changgong asked, “Manager, what do you think that demon looks like?”
“One old and one young…”
“Not that, the specific characteristics.”
“White hair, two-colored eyes, one black and one white…”
“I got it. Thank you, shopkeeper. I’ll write it for you for free later.”
Liu Changgong thanked the shopkeeper and turned around with the beef roast chicken in his hand. His face was full of surprise and bewilderment.
White hair, one black and one white eye. Why did they look so similar to Qi’er?
Could it be that the two demons that appeared out of nowhere had something to do with Qi’er?
Liu Changgong instantly thought of countless possibilities. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He hurriedly returned to the small courtyard.
As soon as he entered the door, Qi’er obediently took something for him.
Liu Changgong’s expression was complicated. How could such a cute Qi’er look like the devil?
Liu Changgong sat down and recalled the series of events that happened after he met Qi’er.
The cultivators who saw Qi’er, even high-level cultivators like Lord Xinghe, had strange expressions when they saw Qi’er.
At first, Liu Changgong thought that they were so frightened by Qi’er’s appearance. He did not expect that they were worried about Qi’er’s identity.
Just now, Shopkeeper Huang said that the two demons were looking for something. Could it be that they were looking for Qi’er?
The other party could even destroy a sect like the Grand Moon Sect…
Liu Changgong pulled Qi’er’s hand and sat down. He tried to ask in the most natural way possible, “Qi’er, have you ever seen someone who looks like you?”
Qi’er covered her little head and began to think. She remembered that her previous owner seemed to have a tool spirit that looked similar to her, so she nodded and said, “Yes.”
Liu Changgong sucked in a breath of cold air. He asked somewhat worriedly, “Qi’er, have you ever killed people with them?”
Qi’er was silent for a moment. She lowered her head and answered softly, “Master, from now on, Qi’er will never kill anyone randomly. The last time I killed someone, it was to protect the little fox. Qi’er killed bad people.”
Liu Changgong’s heart pounded. He looked at Qi’er’s dodging manner and comforted her:
“Qi’er, don’t be afraid. I believe in you.”
Liu Changgong patted Qi’er’s little head and told her to play by the side. However, his heart was like lightning.
Liu Changgong guessed from the plot of the novel he had read in his previous life that Qi’er and the two demons must have come from the same place.
Weiqi had been groomed by the two demons since she was young and cultivated the demon technique. She had killed a lot of people and became like this, neither human nor ghost.
Perhaps for some reason, Weiqi had escaped. The two demons could not find her, so they were so angry that they killed people everywhere.
Her previous guess was completely wrong.
It turned out that Qi’er’s background was even more pitiful. She was not some slave who was enslaved, but a little girl who was forced to practice demonic techniques.
Those memories that caused her incomparable pain should be the experience of being forced to kill people.
No wonder Lord Xinghe, Yu Hongye, and the others were so concerned about Qi’er’s situation, constantly sending over some things to nurture Qi’er’s body.
They probably saw that Qi’er’s condition was relatively stable by his side and did not want her to return to her old job.
Thinking of this, all the doubts in Liu Changgong’s mind disappeared.
Liu Changgong’s heart was filled with complicated feelings as he thought to himself, ‘This kind of plot, where a killer washed his hands and was chased down by his fellow disciples, actually happened to me.’
He had thought things through, but the problem was far from being solved.
Liu Changgong frowned. If his guess was correct, those two demons would sooner or later find him and take her away by force.
He was just a mortal. How could he fight against the demons?
It seemed that he could only look for Lord Xinghe and the others.
However, they might not be able to defeat the demons.
He had encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Liu Changgong’s first reaction was to run.
But he quickly suppressed it.
If that demon could find him, no matter where he went with Weiqi, he would be found.
No, he could not sit still and wait for death.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Liu Changgong called out, and Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi pushed the door open and entered.
“Senior, I have returned that thing to the Li Xuanmen you mentioned.”
Liu Changgong had already forgotten about this matter. His mind was now on the demons.
“Have you heard about the appearance of the demons in the Southern Territory?”
Jianglu replied, “I heard a little on the way back.”
Liu Changgong asked in a deep voice, “Then, with your strength, can you get rid of that demon?”
Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
“Far from it.”
Liu Changgong’s face revealed a deep disappointment. He nodded and waved his hand.
“Alright, I got it. You can leave first.”
“Yes, Senior.”
Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi left with perturbed expressions.
After leaving the door, Lou Hongzhi asked, “Is Senior testing us?”
Jianglu nodded.
“It should be. This should be an opportunity given by Senior. If we can solve the problem of the demon coming into being, perhaps Senior can break the rule and take us as disciples.”
Lou Hongzhi sighed. “But, we are not strong enough. Even a Sacred Lord-level powerhouse was seriously injured by that demon and escaped. What can we two Dharma Idol realm cultivators do?”
Jianglu sighed and smiled bitterly. “Senior’s requirements for accepting disciples are too high. Even if you gave us this opportunity, we wouldn’t be able to grasp it.”
The two left dejectedly.
