I slowly released my hand and stood up. My back felt like it was breaking!
"Boss, you go ahead," Mengmeng whispered. "I'll handle things here."
"Alright, call if you need anything." I said. Although the few of them had come to Fucheng in their beast forms, they had brought their phones. Like modern humans, phones had become an indispensable part of demon life.
Leaving Jiuxian Cave, I used my binoculars to observe Shabiya's formation in Fucheng below the mountain. I searched for a long time but couldn't see a single person. Only by activating my Qi Sensing technique could I detect their hiding spots. Their martial arts might not be high, but their stealth was exceptional.
I hoped these "amateurs" wouldn't be needed.
Just then, a convoy of vehicles slowly approached from the other side of the village. There were three cars in total. I zoomed in with my binoculars and saw the lead car had a license plate starting with Ji C, a vehicle from Shanhaiguan. Sha Wuji had arrived. I quickly called the Shabiya leader of Fucheng who was ambushed in the desolate village, telling him not to attack, as they were their own people.
A few minutes later, Sha Wuji's convoy passed through the desolate village and wound its way up the mountain. I also descended to the front of Hanyin Temple. He had brought six helpers: two demons and three humans. The demons were dressed strangely, perhaps his fellow actors, all of them Great Blue Qi demons. The three humans were all wearing Taoist robes and were also at the Blue Qi level, but they were all High-rank Blue Qi. If we didn't compare them to the Mohe, their strength was considerable. However, after experiencing so much, I now saw all Blue Qi practitioners as "amateurs."
Still, having them was better than not having them, especially since they had come to help voluntarily. One should be grateful.
Sha Wuji introduced us. When introducing me, Sha Wuji called me a consultant for the Shabiya headquarters, which undoubtedly elevated my status. The five people on the other side immediately looked at me with respect, and the two demons even showed a hint of awe. However, the three Taoists did not. Sha Wuji introduced them as the "Three Pure Ones" from Shanhaiguan in Shanhaiguan, with the titles "Tiaoqing," "Tongqing," and "Wanqing." Fine, their titles were quite grand, and their cars were also quite large. The three cars were driven by these three brothers: a BMW 7 Series, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and an Audi A8. The BBA trio was complete, and now for a royal flush!
The two demons, one named Li Bing and the other Li Hong, claimed to be siblings. I didn't know what kind of demons they were.
"Boss Wu," Sha Wuji addressed me, just like his sister, "are you worried about the Mohe coming for revenge?"
"It's not a worry, it's a certainty. After all, two of their three core leaders are still alive! We didn't engage in a full-blown fight then because they were wary of the Yin soldiers. But now I don't have any Yin soldiers with me, and their intelligence network is extensive. They'll know we're here soon. Therefore, through Brother Sha, I've invited everyone here to guard Mujige. I thank you all in advance!" I said, cupping my hands.
They all responded politely. I noticed a flicker of hesitation in Sha Wuji's eyes, as if he had something to say but found it inconvenient. I called Xingyao over and asked him to entertain our five guests. After they entered Hanyin Temple, I asked Sha Wuji, "Brother, whatever you have to say, please speak freely."
Sha Wuji whispered, "I just got the news on the way here. A 'friend' from within the Mohe told me."
"What news?" I asked.
"You killed Song Shanhe in this operation, and it has forced out the big boss behind the Mohe..."
"What?" I was startled. "Isn't Song Shanhe the main leader of the Mohe?"
"I always thought the Mohe belonged to the Song family, but my friend said that's not the case. The Mohe is a joint-stock company. The Song family only owns 20% of the shares, with Song Shanhe alone holding 10% and acting as the spokesperson for the Mohe. Behind them, 80% of the shares are controlled by someone named 'Long Yue.' As for whether she's the final boss, my friend isn't entirely sure. In any case, about an hour ago, that big boss appeared and severely reprimanded the Mohe's elite Purple Qi experts, saying they couldn't even protect a puppet. He berated them so badly that they didn't dare to look up."
"Could it be a super expert?" I asked. "At the level of the Miao King?"
