Chapter 58: Do You Understand the Expert’s Hints?

‘The Nine-Tailed Fox must be injured, but you useless idiots can’t even trace her? What am I keeping you all for?’ the Silver Moon Demon King thought to himself and looked more menacing.

A Cow Demon stepped out and said, “My King, the Nine-Tailed Fox was taken away by the Linxian Palace.”

“What?!”

His eyes went dark and he was shaking in rage. The Demon King looked like he was ready to kill someone.

The demon disciples all knelt to the ground in fear.

“However, My King, we’ve discovered a Six-Tailed Fox,” said the Cow Demon.

“Oh?” The Silver Moon Demon King was intrigued.

The Cow Demon continued, “This Six-Tailed Fox appears to be the sister of the Nine-Tailed Fox.”

Sister?

The Silver Moon Demon King could not help but grin.

He needed to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox not only because of her transformation, but because he needed to know the Nine-Tailed Fox secrets!

There had to be some sort of secret to be able to transform into a Nine-Tailed Fox!

Three years ago, the Nine-Tailed Fox was captured and badly injured. She was near death. How did she recover in an instant? She must have discovered something by luck!

He got a feeling that he would be able to rule the world once he discovered the secret!

Since the Nine-Tailed Fox was captured by the Linxian Palace, he had to leave it be and capture her sister instead. He might discover something useful!

The Silver Moon Demon King stared at the Cow Demon and asked, “Where is the Six-Tailed Fox?”

“My King, she’s in the nearby woods,” replied the Cow Demon.

“Good job!”

The Silver Moon Demon King howled, “This time, I’ll do it myself!”

His wings spread out and he flew into the sky. His demon disciples followed him. It was a terrifying demonic night.

At the Fallen Town tavern, only one room was still lit. An oil lamp was hung up, swinging slightly from the wind.

Yao Mengji propped his head up in his hands. He was still staring at that sentence, thinking hard.

It had been three days and three nights. He did not rest because he swore to decode the expert’s hints.

Experts loved spiritual knowledge. Only those who possessed spiritual knowledge could decode their hints. It was the only way to impress him!

He felt like he was onto something but he lost it every time.

Suddenly, he felt something. He looked out to the forest under the night sky.

“What? A strong demonic aura!”

A strong demonic aura like this could only mean that a powerful demon was on the move. Was it the Silver Moon Demon King?

Hold on!

The Silver Moon Demon King!

Yao Mengji had an epiphany. He looked excited.

I get it! This was what the expert meant!

He was happier.

“Haha, of course! I see!” Yao Mengji cackled. He looked like a wise man who had just figured it out. “I get it now!”

Qin Manyun who was training next door opened her eyes and rushed to his room.

“Master, you decoded the expert’s message?” asked Qin Manyun.

“Manyun, it seems like you still have a lot to figure out!”

Yao Mengji nodded and lectured her, “Remember, if you’re unsure of the expert’s hints, don’t disturb the expert without a proper reason! The expert saw the Heaven and Earth dimension as a chess game. To him, we are like chess pieces. It’s an honor to be chosen, an enormous blessing!

“However…a chess piece could be a sacrificial piece! Therefore, we have to understand his every hint and show the expert that we’re valuable to him! Some would settle being just pawns, but that’s not how we do things here. We should be the most important chess pieces to the expert!”

He was passionate even if he was describing himself as a chess piece.

At this point in his life, he had seen it all and realized a lot of things. Was it such a bad thing to be a pawn if it was in the hands of an expert?

On the contrary, no!

Qin Manyun humbly requested, “Master, please teach me your ways!”

“Look carefully at this phrase,” Yao Menji said. “This sentence could be dissected into two parts. The first part is, ‘recently, there seem to be cultivators all around me’, we already solved that. But the key is the second part. There is a hidden task in there.”

The second part of the sentence was… ‘I can’t go out and it’s impossible to go hunting in the mountains. Can you help me find out what’s going on?’

Hunting in the mountains?

Find out what?

Yikes!

Qin Manyun had an epiphany. She had goosebumps all over.

She got it!

She understood!

‘Find out’ contained another meaning. It meant looking for the source, which was the Silver Moon Demon King that spread the news of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Since the expert already knew the reason, what he truly meant was, get rid of the Silver Moon Demon King!

As for ‘hunting in the mountains’, the expert would not hunt normal animals for sport. His ‘prey’ was, of course, the Silver Moon Demon King!

The Silver Moon Demon King offended the expert. He would not let him be.

‘Why did I not think of that? I almost missed a request from the expert,’ Qin Manyun thought to herself and sighed in relief. Thankfully, the Master figured it out. Otherwise, she would have missed the request and failed the expert.

“I knew it. The expert would never assign us something so simple. No wonder something felt off!” Yao Mengji sighed in relief, too.

The Silver Moon Demon King ruled the area for four thousand years. His status was as high as Yao Mengji in the Demon Realm.

Nobody dared to mess with a powerful Demon King like him.

However, he offended the expert, so by default, he chose death!

The expert did not feel like killing the Demon King himself. But as a chess piece, he had to help the expert!

Yao Mengji had a menacing look in his eye!

Huh. The Demon King was on the move tonight after he crossed the expert? He must have a deathwish!

Fools like him created an opportunity for Yao Mengji. He had to seize the chance and get rid of the Silver Moon Demon King!

“Let’s go. We have a Silver Moon Demon King to kill!”

He brought Qin Manyun along and departed for the hunt.
