Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, he saw a fire-red figure in the bushes ahead.

"What is that?"

He quickly approached with curiosity.

Once he saw clearly what the fire-red figure was, he fell into a state of stupor.

It was the Red Fierce Monkey.

The Red Fierce Monkey's fur was long and needle-like, emitting a strange Demon Energy all over.

It was very easy to recognize.

Initially, Duan Gujin thought he might have seen wrong, but after a longstanding Divine Sense Inspection, he confirmed that he hadn't made a mistake. The fire-red figure he saw was indeed the Red Fierce Monkey.

At this moment, the Red Fierce Monkey was lying motionless in the bushes, as if it was sleeping or perhaps seriously injured.

"My god! My god! The Red Fierce Monkey has always been following Zhao Wuji, could it be that it's injured now?"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his mind spinning rapidly as he pondered what to do.

"Is it sleeping now, or is it seriously wounded and unable to get up?"

After careful observation for a while, he finally confirmed that the Red Fierce Monkey in front of him was indeed seriously injured, and he decisively made his move.

Whoosh!

He stretched out his hands and his body turned into a bolt of lightning rushing forward. With the swiftness of thunder catching one unaware, he directly restrained the limbs of the Red Fierce Monkey and then tied it up with a rope.

After all was done, he exhaled a lungful of turbid air, knowing he had finally succeeded in capturing the Red Fierce Monkey.

Even if the Red Fierce Monkey he had caught was not the one that belonged to Zhao Wuji, it would not be a loss to him. He knew that Red Fierce Monkeys were not ordinary members of the Devil Clan; they could continuously cultivate and break through to become Demon Emperors.

Demon Emperor, a presence that is one level higher than Demon Saint.

The Red Fierce Monkey soon woke up, and when it saw its limbs captured, it started chattering.

Duan Gujin immediately transmitted a Divine Thought to it, attempting to communicate.

But after a while, the fierce monkey never responded to his Divine Thought.

"Who are you, exactly? Where is the Ultimate Demon Emperor?"

"Where is your master right now?"

Duan Gujin kept questioning the Red Fierce Monkey, but it did not respond at all.

It was just chattering away as if it were a very ordinary demon monkey.

Duan Gujin sneered. He was not without means to deal with the Red Fierce Monkey.

With a thought, he prepared himself and then released the Divine Control Technique on the Red Fierce Monkey.

However, when he deployed the Divine Control Technique, he found that it was struck by a red light in the brain of the Red Fierce Monkey. The Divine Control Telekinesis he had emitted instantly turned to ashes.

"This Red Fierce Monkey must be the one owned by the Ultimate Demon Emperor! There is strong Forbidden Power protecting its soul sea!"

Duan Gujin guessed that Zhao Wuji must have tampered with the soul sea of the Red Fierce Monkey, protecting it from memory extraction by others or soul control by others.

"So what should I do now? Kill it? Killing it would not benefit me! What if Zhao Wuji finds out it was me who killed his monkey, wouldn't he bear a grudge against me?"

After pondering for a while, Duan Gujin decided to let the monkey go.

Just as he was about to release it, suddenly, he noticed the color on the Red Fierce Monkey's body was darkening bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What's going on here?"

Faced with this anomaly, Duan Gujin decided to first observe for a while.

After two hours, he saw that the originally blood-red fur of the Red Fierce Monkey had turned gray.

He rubbed his temples vigorously, feeling as if he had seen a ghost.

"Dizzying! What's going on here?"

Duan Gujin's brain went into overdrive. He pondered why the Red Fierce Monkey's fur color had changed from blood-red to gray.

"Could it be that its Primordial Power has been exhausted, so that's why this change occurred?"

Duan Gujin felt there was too much mystery surrounding the Red Fierce Monkey.

After a while, he sent his Divine Sense into the Red Fierce Monkey's body.

Very quickly, he discovered that the Primordial Power inside the Red Fierce Monkey was indeed exhausted, and its meridians suffered severe trauma.

"Its internal organs have all suffered severe injuries!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his eyes flickering for a moment.

After a while, he decided to treat the Red Fierce Monkey himself.

"This Red Fierce Monkey is Zhao Wuji's pet, and it will become a Demon Emperor in a thousand years. Healing it now, I'm not sure if it's right or wrong!"

He pondered repeatedly, and finally decided to heal the Red Fierce Monkey.

With a thought, he reached into his storage ring and took out the Soul Transformation Seal, originally intending to see if he could control the monkey with it.

But the next moment, he realized that the Soul Transformation Seal was unable to control the monkey. The Forbidden Power within the monkey's Divine Soul was truly formidable, blocking the assault of the Soul Transformation Seal.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin gasped in shock, convinced that the Red Fierce Monkey before him was indeed the Ultimate Demon Emperor Zhao Wuji's pet.

"It's injured now, and it will probably take some time to recover. I don't need to worry too much about it for the moment!"

Thus, he brought the Red Fierce Monkey to where Tie Yi lived.

He brought some Spiritual Medicine to Tie Yi to take care of the Red Fierce Monkey.

"What a cute monkey!"

Tie Yi looked at the gray monkey with surprise filling her face.

Monkeys did not exist on the Fire Cloud Continent; in her eyes, the monkey that Duan Gujin had brought was quite adorable.

"Cute?"

Duan Gujin chuckled dryly, then disclosed the true identity of the gray monkey to Tie Yi.

Of course, he didn't tell Tie Yi about what would happen in a thousand years.

When Tie Yi heard that the gray monkey before her was the same Red Fierce Monkey they had encountered in the thick fog area, she gasped and felt a shiver down her spine.

"No way? Isn't this monkey very dangerous? What will I use to control it if you're not here?"

Tie Yi asked in alarm.

"It's seriously injured now. As long as we seal it, it shouldn't launch a sneak attack on us!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Just sealing it should suffice?"

Tie Yi still harbored doubts.

"Yes, it will work. I've just checked its strength and found that it likely only has the Cultivation of Martial Monarch First Layer. As long as I tie up its limbs, it won't launch surprise attacks on us! You just need to take care of it here and make sure it doesn't starve. Let's address the future issues in the future!"

Duan Gujin said.

He figured that for Tie Yi, taking care of a Demon Clan member who was currently severely injured, had low Cultivation, and whose limbs were fully bound wouldn't pose much difficulty.

"Tie Yi, don't loosen the ropes on its body. You've seen how savage it was before! If we let it go, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Duan Gujin earnestly cautioned.

"Okay!"

Tie Yi quickly nodded in agreement, having witnessed herself the Red Fierce Monkey's brutal slaughter of the Human Clan. She knew just how terrifying the monkey before her was.

After setting up the Red Fierce Monkey, Duan Gujin went to several locations indicated on the map where Fire Poison Bees could be found.

It took him four busy days to finally complete the task.

He had dealt with Fire Poison Bees in his previous life, and upon detecting their presence nearby, he laid out some insects and scattered some medicinal powder around them.

The medicinal powder attracted the Fire Poison Bees, and when they saw the insects, they would come to capture them.

Once they descended near the insects, they were caught by the sticky liquid Duan Gujin had prepared.

This method of capturing Fire Poison Bees was a unique technique Duan Gujin had learned from a beekeeper in his former life. Now applying it again, it took him four days to finally capture a hundred Fire Poison Bees.

He needed to spend four days because he found that there weren't many Fire Poison Bees around, and he had to move from one place to another in search of them.

Despite taking four days, Duan Gujin was still very pleased to have completed the task.

Of course, he would definitely not spend four days just to catch a hundred Fire Poison Bees next time; he would pick other tasks that could be easily accomplished.

From an efficiency standpoint, spending four days for a thousand Merit Points was a poor deal for him.

It meant he would need eight days to earn enough to stay in the Outer Sect for a month.

He contemplated picking other tasks that would allow him to quickly earn a lot of Merit Points.
