“Are you sure this time? If you mess with my mood like before, I'll twist you into a pretzel!” growled the head of the bandaged men.

The second bandaged man gave an awkward smile and puffed out his chest, promising, “Big brother, those were accidents before. I guarantee there won't be any problems this time.”

The pair had been tracking Jiang Xiaobai's qi, but their methods were a bit unconventional. They couldn't lock onto Jiang Xiaobai himself and had to follow the residual qi prints.

This meant that wherever Jiang Xiaobai went, they had to follow his trail.

Thus, the duo followed him from the dilapidated mansion all the way to

Tianyuan City. They staked out at the doors of the Golden Pavilion, thinking Jiang Xiaobai was inside. But discovered that their tracking method was delayed, Jiang Xiaobai had already left.

The bandaged leader could understand this special method, but what followed really ruffled his feathers.

The two stopped in the middle of a mountain range and on a tree branch, even tracking him down to a lake. They lingered there for an hour, only to conclude that Jiang Xiaobai had peed there.

Furious, the bandaged leader nearly twisted number two into a pretzel.

Glaring fiercely at number two, the bandaged leader leaped into Spring Lake City and began to lay low and wait.

Early in the morning, Jiang Xiaobai came out of his room, stretching lazily with a look of contentment on his face.

“Travelling like this is so boring. Always just flying. It'd be great if I could teleport anywhere,” he muttered to himself, yawning.

By this time, over a dozen maids had come up to attend to Jiang Xiaobai. But having no interest in such things, he dismissed them. After washing up on his own, he went outside.

A maid who had been waiting outside led him to the main hall, where he had breakfast with Li Muzhou and his daughter. Afterwards, he was bombarded with questions about cultivation by Li Qingzhou.

Having nothing else on his plate, he spent the whole day chatting with Li Qingzhou.

In the evening, Sun Shouheng and Taoist Changfeng arrived at the Li family again. Even though they had some unpleasantness with Jiang Xiaobai before, this time, they came for serious business.

“Master Li, truth be told, I've brought Taoist Changfeng here to exterminate the monsters in the Southern Mountain,” said Sun Shouheng. “According to my information, the last person to see the monster with their own eyes was your daughter, so we're here to ask for some information. It would greatly aid Taoist Changfeng in dealing with these fiends.”

This matter was a top priority for Spring Lake City. There could be no carelessness.

Upon hearing this, Li Muzhou's face hardened. He immediately sent for Li Qingzhou, and when Jiang Xiaobai heard about it, he also came.

“Qingzhou, can you recall anything about the monster you saw?” asked Taoist Changfeng, his face carefree. “This information is crucial for me to exterminate the monster. Please tell me everything you know.”

Li Qingzhou gave Taoist Changfeng a sullen look. She clearly remembered how he had scorned Jiang Xiaobai in the courtyard the day before. Although she had been unable to speak, that didn't mean she hadn't seen or heard everything.

The Taoist exasperated her.

Knowing his daughter's temper, Li Muzhou cleared his throat and said,

“Qingzhou, don't be petulant.”

Li Qingzhou pouted a bit, but she knew that the monster in the South Mountain must be eradicated. Only then did she reluctantly start speaking of the monster.

“The monster had a human form, but a tiger's head, and it was shrouded in black Qi. I only caught a glimpse of it from the foot of the mountain. It felt like being under a spell.”

Recalling the scenario of that day felt like reliving a nightmare for Li Qingzhou. That monster was indeed terrifying.

As she had only managed to get a distant look at it, Li Qingzhou could only provide this much information. Had she come face-to-face with the monster, she wouldn't have returned.

“Hmm, this gives me a rough idea,” Taoist Changfeng commented, his expression cool.

“Taoist Changfeng, is this monster dangerous?” Sun Shouheng hurriedly asked.

A relaxed smile spread across Taoist Changfeng's face. “Judging from the young lady's description, that monster is merely at the Qi refining stage. It's no match for me, but for you mortals, merely a glance can allow the monster's Qi to seep into your body.”

At this, Sun Shouheng relaxed. Since Taoist Changfeng could handle the monster, he didn't need to worry.

“If that's the case, then let's slay the monster tomorrow,” proposed Sun Shouheng.

Changfeng nodded his head, then looked contemptuously towards Jiang Xiaobai. “Qi refining kid, do you want to come with me to the mountain tomorrow to see how I exterminate demons and monsters?”

His words sounded as if he wanted to broaden Jiang Xiaobai's horizons, but Jiang Xiaobai didn't see it that way.

This wicked old man was undoubtedly scheming. If he were only at the Qi refining stage and actually went to the mountain with him, it would likely be a one-way trip.

But Jiang Xiaobai was aware of his own strength. Why would he be afraid? “Of course, I'd be delighted. Seeing Taoist Changfeng slay a monster would be extremely helpful to me,” said Jiang Xiaobai, smiling.

Changfeng's face displayed a look of 'I knew you'd say that'. After all, witnessing a superior practitioner in action is a valuable experience.

“This kid, who's just a Qi refiner, won't refuse this kind of opportunity,” he thought.

“The fact that he has those elixirs proves that he has a lot of valuable things on him. If I were to casually kill him in the mountains tomorrow and blame it on the monster, wouldn't all his possessions become mine?”

Taoist Changfeng sneered in his heart, his eyes flashing a streak of greed, which quickly faded.

At that moment, Li Qingzhou suddenly cried out, “Can I come with you?”

“Nonsense! This is a mission for the Taoists to exterminate the monster. You think it's a hunting trip? If something happened to you, what would I do?” Li Muzhou immediately rebuked.

Li Qingzhou pouted, looking very unhappy. She dreamed about cultivation all day and didn't want to miss an opportunity to see a Taoist in action.

“Dad, please let me go. Taoist Changfeng is so powerful, he can definitely protect me.”

Changfeng just smiled. “Master Li, it's no trouble. I'll ensure her safety. Everyone can come and watch me kill the monster tomorrow. Seeing the monster eliminated with your own eyes will put your minds at ease.”

Li Qingzhou jumped up excitedly and clapped her hands in mid-air. Li Muzhou could only sigh. After all, with Taoist Changfeng making such a promise, he had no choice but to agree.

“Alright, alright. I'll let you have your way… just this once,” Li Muzhou conceded reluctantly.

Then Changfeng turned to Jiang Xiaobai. “Well, it's settled then. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning. No delay will be tolerated..”
