Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 804 The Great Dream Returns 13

Since Cheng Huang was expelled from the Great Wilderness, Jiang Xinxin had no interest in taking him back to the Great Wilderness. Besides, he might not be willing to go back, and might only bring harm to the Great Wilderness if he went back.

After making sure that Cheng Huang, who was inside the barrier, had not been alarmed, Jiang Xinxin quickly signaled Zhao Yuanzhou to leave together. The two of them temporarily made note of the matter at the observatory and prepared to go back and tell Zhuo Yichen and the others. However, as soon as they returned to the Monster Hunting Division, someone reported that two murders had occurred in the city, and marks similar to deer antlers were left at the crime scenes.

The first person Zhao Yuanzhou thought of was Cheng Huang, because this matter was too much of a coincidence.

Bai Jiu ran over and asked Jiang Xinxin and Zhao Yuanzhou if they wanted to take him out for a walk, perhaps they could come across a murder scene.

Seeing Bai Jiu already carrying the medicine box on his back, ready to go at any time, Jiang Xinxin said with a smile, "We already have some clues here. Why don't we wait for Commander Zhuo and the others to come back and exchange information with each other."

Bai Jiu was a little disappointed, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Xinxin's arrangement, so he had to put the medicine box down again and bicker with Zhao Yuanzhou to pass the time.

After noon, Zhuo Yichen finally returned to the Monster Hunting Department with the somewhat tired Wen Xiao and the solemn-looking Pei Sijing.

Bai Jiu immediately rushed forward upon hearing the voice and announced loudly: "Commander Zhuo, Sister Wen Xiao and Sister Pei, Lord Yuan Xin has found some clues about the murder case in front of us!"

Zhao Yuanzhou immediately complained: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about! I was the first one to discover the information about the deer antlers!"

Wen Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Is there any great demon that Zhu Yan doesn't know?"

Jiang Xinxin had been paying attention to Pei Sijing. Seeing her serious expression, it was obvious that she had discovered many clues. She bypassed Bai Jiu and Zhao Yuanzhou who were bickering again, and said to Pei Sijing, Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao, "Before, I followed Lingdie to an observatory where Zhao Yuanzhou said it was the residence of Cheng Huang, the mount of the first Bai Ze Goddess. I found that the observatory was decorated with barriers and formations, so I didn't act rashly and went back to the Monster Hunting Division with Zhao Yuanzhou first."

"Then I heard that several cases had occurred in Tiandu City. I also heard that there were deer antler marks left at the scene. It was Zhao Yuanzhou who told me about the monster with deer antler marks. The most famous one happened to be Cheng Huang."

At this point, Pei Sijing had nothing to hide, and she laid it out to everyone: "My brother Pei Siheng was shot dead by me about two months ago, because I found that he had turned into a half-demon and appeared at the murder scene in black. After I shot him, I cremated his body according to the regulations of Chongwu Camp."

Pei Sijing paused for a moment, as if she couldn't continue. Wen Xiao took over and said, "But when Xiao Zhuo and I found Xiao Jing today, we happened to discover a murder case, and Master Pei appeared at the scene again. We also fought and confirmed that the other party was indeed Xiao Jing's brother Pei Siheng."

Zhuo Yichen concluded: "So, based on the clues we have now, it is very likely that Xiao Pei's brother was transformed into a demon by Cheng Huang."

Bai Jiu listened for a while and found it a little unbelievable. "But according to the records, Cheng Huang, as the mount of the first generation of Bai Ze Goddess, can make the person riding him immortal. It is an auspicious sign certified by our ancestors!"

Jiang Xinxin reminded Bai Jiu: "But the first generation of goddess did die, and later Cheng Huang was driven out of the wilderness because of his mistakes. Before he left, he opened the gate of the God Realm, allowing many monsters to escape to the human world. From this point of view, his actions do not seem to be worthy of the reputation of the human race."

Zhao Yuanzhou realized that if the demon that was causing trouble this time was really Cheng Huang, then the enemy they were facing would be even more powerful than Li Lun. He didn't want to say much, but he remembered what Zhuo Yichen had said before that he didn't trust the demon hunting team. He hesitated and spoke: "Master Yuan Xin is right. As far as I know, Cheng Huang was expelled from the God Realm because of his brutal act of sucking human blood for nutrients, and later he was expelled from the Great Wilderness."

"So if the demon causing trouble this time is really Cheng Huang, we can only rely on Master Yuan Xin."

Pei Sijing took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the observatory to investigate as soon as possible."

The sundial placed in the center of the observatory was the center of the formation set by Cheng Huang. Jiang Xinxin was about to go in, but was stopped by Zhao Yuanzhou: "We don't know anything about the situation in this formation. It's okay for me and Lord Yuan Xin, but you guys are prone to getting hurt or even losing your lives."

As he spoke, Zhao Yuanzhou suggested that everyone tie themselves together with ropes so that they could act together. As for Bai Jiu, he needed to stay outside to guard the center of the formation in case of any accidents.

Bai Jiu knew that there were some excitements that he could not join in, so he carried the medicine box and left the area where the sundial was. He watched Jiang Xinxin take the lead and Zhao Yuanzhou finish, and no one was sucked into the formation by the sundial.

As soon as she entered the formation, Pei Sijing faced Pei Siheng, who was dressed in black and was about to be shot by her. Pei Sijing ignored everything and asked directly: "Don't you know what our Pei family does? Why do you want to turn yourself into a... a half-demon?!"

Pei Siheng was even more excited than her. "We are both of Pei family bloodline, so why have you been considered the successor to the family's will since childhood, while I have become a waste just because I am weak and sickly?!"

Pei Siheng's questioning with red eyes and tears blocked all of Pei Sijing's words in her throat. She turned her head away, not wanting Pei Siheng to see her crying. She felt that all her efforts since childhood seemed to be worthless.

Pei Siheng calmed down and said with a serious face: "I am also a member of the Pei family. Even if I am not in good health, I always hope to contribute to the reputation of the Pei family and make my own contribution to the human race. But I can't do anything because of my poor health. If I want to make progress, I can only think of unconventional ways, and of course, I can't do anything shameful."

Pei Sijing let out a long breath and tried her best to maintain her emotions: "Okay, even if you are determined to make progress, it is inevitable that you will use unorthodox methods, but why did you become a murderer and an executioner?"

Pei Siheng smiled bitterly: "What's the point of saying this now? You never listen to me."

As he said that, Pei Siheng snatched away Pei Sijing's demon-hunting sword. Pei Sijing had no intention of chasing him, but she walked out of the illusion with a gloomy heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she saw a puppet falling at her feet.

Pei Sijing holding the puppet walked out of the formation in just two steps. Bai Jiu was still surprised, but before he could ask anything, Pei Sijing took a deep breath and entered the formation again. Bai Jiu felt that this observatory seemed to be more and more scary to him, but he was a little hesitant to enter the formation. He just put on the medicine box and stared at the center of the formation without blinking.

The other four people entered a place called Tianxiang Pavilion. Jiang Xinxin, who was very experienced, knew it was a brothel as soon as she saw the name. She and Wen Xiao were stopped outside the door and were not allowed to enter. Jiang Xinxin smiled and said to Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen, "You two grown men should not be careless. Wen Xiao and I will never tell anyone about your embarrassing visit to the brothel."

Wen Xiao knew Tiandu City like the back of her hand. Although she had never been to Tianxiang Pavilion, she knew what kind of place it was. She lowered her head and tried to hold back her laughter, nodding her head, "Yes, Xiaozhuo, there is no such thing between us."

Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen rushed into Tianxiang Pavilion, but after a round, they found that Zhuo Yichen was a little embarrassed by the enthusiastic crowd of girls, while Zhao Yuanzhou even liked this lively place a little. They didn't notice anything unusual until they went out and entered again. Then they heard several girls talking about a girl named Zhimei who missed the flowering period. Only then did they realize that the girls dancing on the stage below had changed their lead dancer.

When they came out again, Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen told everyone about the anomaly, and Wen Xiao thought that the center of this illusion should be the girl Zhimei.

Jiang Xinxin also confirmed some things: "This illusion is caused by obsession. Xiao Pei is obsessed with her brother, so even though we are clearly tied together, she still separated from us. And the four of us are not obsessed to some extent, or our obsession is not deep enough for Cheng Huang, and has no use value, so we came here randomly."
