Fated Cultivation: I Have Max-Level Divination Skills Chapter 104 – The One Who Tied the Bell Must

Chapter 104: Chapter 14: The One Who Tied the Bell Must

Be the One to Untie It

Afterward, Zhao Huai told Lu Wanqiu about the Bat Demon incident at night.

She also said she would report it to the sect personally and would not involve Zhao Huai.

After bidding farewell, Zhao Huai walked down the street, still thinking about their conversation.

In the path of cultivation, all lives are equal.

This sentence does not seem to come from this world of the survival of the fittest; perhaps it was once said by a mighty figure.

It makes sense; there is no absolute right and wrong, nor black and white; there is always a balance.

With that in mind, Zhao Huai was no longer troubled.

Today, Madam was watching the pawnshop, and there was still plenty of time left.

If the demons in Jinzhou were not eliminated, the future would only be filled with misfortunes.

The divination said that only the one who tied the bell could untie it; did it mean that he needed to learn more about demons to fight demons effectively?

The problem was where to find a demon. If a demon was close enough, he could sense it, but if it was too far away, he could only rely on his Demon -Viewing Eye.

Zhao Huai activated his Demon-Viewing Eye and began searching along the streets.

He walked through numerous streets and alleys, and surprisingly, he saw a faint trace of black smoke in front of him.

Did he find it already?

Zhao Huai raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

He followed the black smoke, eventually reaching a pharmacy called “Sun’s

Pharmacy.”

The black smoke led directly to a small dwarf with a cloth wrapped around his face, looking quite small like a child; he could easily go unnoticed if one didn’t look closely.

Was the demonic qi on this demon too weak?

Zhao Huai thought secretly that he had killed many demons before but had never seen one with such pitifully weak demonic qi; if it were not for the faint black smoke guiding him, he would have doubted his findings.

If demons had different levels, this one in front of him must be the weakest he had ever seen.

“Boss, how much is this medicine?”

“Three taels of silver.” “Okay, here’s the money.”

“Thanks, come again next time.”

The little dwarf threw a bag of silver and took the medicinal herbs, then turned around and left.

Zhao Huai pretended to be selecting medicinal herbs nearby while observing him with Divine Insight, so the dwarf didn’t notice he was being watched.

Do demons also pay money?

Zhao Huai was stunned, feeling rather puzzled.

Suppressing his doubts, he decided to follow the dwarf and see what he was up to.

Outside Jinzhou City, the mountain forest was quiet.

Zhao Huai walked alone on a small path where leaves fluttered in the wind.

This place was the rear mountain of Jinzhou, not very large, just a small hill; since the resources were sparse and the vegetation didn’t grow very high, human traces were also rare; the strong wind brought a trace of dampness from the mountain forest.

Zhao Huai’s eyes followed the faint black smoke that kept entwining, leading the way; he didn’t let his guard down, hiding his figure and breath, blending into the mountain forest.

He followed the little dwarf’s figure until they reached a hidden tree hollow in a pine forest.

If it weren’t for the Demon-Viewing Eye tracking, he would never have found this place; on the surface, it appeared as a tree hollow, but underground, it must lead to an Immortal’s Cave.

Zhao Huai didn’t hesitate, pulling out his spiritual sword and plunging it into the ground, amassing a large amount of thunder-element qi, as electric arcs surged continuously.

Combining thunder magic with sword technique would undoubtedly unleash great power.

Boom!

A loua noise ecnoea as tne grouna tremD1ea, snattermg tne rocKS ana exposing the space beneath.

It was pitch black, and besides the winding tree roots, there was even a stone gate.

“Damn it!”

“Who’s making a ruckus and disturbing this lord?!”

The loud noise apparently disturbed the people inside, and a furious roar came from the other side of the stone gate.

Thud.As the stone door was opened, a huge pig head emerged.

Based on its appearance, it was a wild boar, with one purple, swollen eye. Its face looked like it had just woken up, plump and humanoid, yet its pig hooves, tail, and head were identical to those of a wild boar.

Obviously, it was a little demon that couldn’t fully transform, its demonic qi weak and pitiful. It was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, looking rather strange.

It is said that amongst demons, the ones that look more human possess greater cultivation levels. Some terrifyingly powerful demons can take human form and not even a cultivator in the Initiation Stage would be able to see through their disguise.

Zhao Huai spread out his Divine Insight and found that the surrounding demonic qi was weak, easily vanquished with one slash.

There was no need to hurry, so he decided to ask a few questions first.

Thus, Zhao Huai politely smiled and said, “I am a True Disciple from the Immortal Yearning Sect. I came here to investigate some matters. May I come in and talk?”

“Ha…” Upon seeing a human, the little boar demon yawned, but soon froze, its eyes widened, and its drowsiness disappeared: “What, Immortal Yearning Sect?!”

“Yes.”

Zhao Huai nodded slowly.

“Oh no!” The little boar demon was scared witless, letting out a shrill scream. Its plump body suddenly dashed off, wailing and peeing as it ran away, shouting in a hoarse voice:

“The King, the King! We’re done for! The sect is here!”

“What? The sect!”

“How can the sect find us!”

“What are you waiting for? Run!”

Instantly, the entire cave echoed with many pig squeals, their voices panicked and flustered.

Seeing this, Zhao Huai understood.

These little demons were terrified of sects, fear ingrained deep within their bones.

Although cultivation did not discriminate between high and low, ultimately, the world was for humans, and demons could only live in hiding. Naturally, these little demons didn’t have much room for survival.

Seeing that no one appeared after waiting for a long time, Zhao Huai decided to go in unceremoniously, slowly pushing open the door.

Upon entering, he glanced around the cave and saw that it was mostly mud except for a bed made of tree bark. There seemed to be nothing else. On the tree bark bed sat a pig demon with the appearance of a burly man. His form was slightly better than the others’, with his pig head looking more domineering, complete with two tusks and a taller stature. However, other parts of his body showed limited transformation. “Are you the ‘King’ they were talking about?”

Zhao Huai raised an eyelid, staring at him.

The Wild Boar King seemed to have just gotten up from bed and struggled to get up.

Thump!

“Let me live, great one!” The Wild Boar King pleaded pitifully.

Unexpectedly, the Wild Boar King actually knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhao Huai’s expression was odd.

The fact that the black pig head had a human expression made the scene somewhat amusing.

“I haven’t eaten a single human or done any harm since I started cultivating!” The Wild Boar King whined again.

He was afraid that Zhao Huai would kill him on the spot.

Zhao Huai ignored him and instead focused on the other pig demons around.

There were about ten or so, most without human forms, simply resembling pigs. The one who had been watching the door at least had a humanoid form. These pigs probably hadn’t even managed to cultivate demonic qi.

Each one of them lay on the ground: black, white, pink, black and white-striped, with spotted eyes. Wild boars, mountain boars, domesticated pigs…

The little dwarf from before was also among them, a rare little demon with a human form.

“Just answer my questions when I ask,”

Zhao Huai’s gaze returned to the Wild Boar King.

“Ask away, great one. I will definitely tell you everything I know!” The Wild Boar King patted his chest.

Zhao Huai asked, “Do you know about the Bat Demon?”

“Bat Demon? Of course, I know! Not only do I know, but I am also very familiar with them! I live in this cave because of the trouble they caused!”

Upon hearing this, the Wild Boar King was in tears and spoke miserably.

Zhao Huai was quite surprised.

There seemed to be some story behind this?
