I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 73 The Secret of Demonization
"Do you know the identity of 'Master Yu'?"

After hearing Fang Shuan’s words, Li Qingyun became even more curious.

Fang Shuan blinked her little bitch eyes:
"Of course I know. His real name is Pang Yu, and he is the son of the current Grand Tutor Pang Ji."

So that's how it is. No wonder he looks so arrogant and deserves a beating. It turns out he is the son of an official... Li Qingyun suddenly realized, and then he suddenly remembered something.

The day before yesterday, when he saw Shi Tiezheng of Taishan Sect fighting with a mutant monster in the East Market, he had heard Song Ke say that raising monsters was originally prohibited in the Song Dynasty, but later Jinfengxiyu Tower somehow got through to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and obtained permission, which turned the human-beast battle into a profitable business.

Now it seems that the so-called way probably refers to Pang Yu.

Moreover, it is hard to say who actually makes the money.

No wonder Chen Jin and others followed his lead, it turns out they were all birds of a feather.

He thought to himself, but said with some disapproval:
"Why, Kaifeng Prefecture is afraid of Master Pang? Isn't Lord Bao an upright and honest official?"

Fang Shuan chuckled and said:
“Kaifeng Prefecture is certainly not afraid of Pang Ji, but that doesn’t mean you can investigate his son recklessly.

"Let me put it this way. First of all, if you want to attack him, you have to guard against his revenge in secret. The Grand Tutor's Mansion is full of masters, and they are on good terms with many major sects in the martial arts world. If someone really wants to use his connections to deal with someone, let alone you are just a low-level martial artist, even if a superb figure like me comes, he may not be able to get away with it.

“Of course, if you can really get solid evidence, Lord Bao will naturally make the decision for you. However, if you want to bring down a person like Pang Yu, it is not enough to have witnesses and physical evidence alone. At least two or three pieces of solid evidence must be combined together. Otherwise, with the power of the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, it will not be difficult to get away with the crime. At most, you can ask the emperor for mercy and be released after two years in prison. Wouldn’t that be courting disaster?

"It's true that Lord Bao is an upright official, but he is made of iron. How many nails can he hammer? So I advise you to stay out of these matters. Pang Yu doesn't think highly of a small character like you. He may not be willing to take the risk of offending Kaifeng Prefecture to deal with you. If you really provoke him, no one can protect you."

Li Qingyun nodded, thinking that Fang Shuan was indeed a veteran and his analysis made sense, but he still felt a little unwilling.

He went to Zuiyang Tower for a banquet tonight. The most important thing was of course to rescue Song Ke, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to establish his authority so that the other party would not dare to find trouble against the Changle Gang unscrupulously.

At the same time, he hoped to find out the details of Jinfengxiyu Tower, and then find some flaws of Chen Jin, so as to seize the opportunity to overthrow him and replace him, and advance the power of Changle Gang a big step forward.

Of these three things, the first two were completed, but the last one was only half successful.

Although he found out that there was something wrong with the Jinfengxiyu Tower, he didn't expect Pang Yu to appear in front of him halfway, which made him cautious and unable to move forward in a big way.

But no matter what, the feud has already been formed, and he cannot hope that the other party will stop because they are afraid of Kaifeng Prefecture. That would be too passive.

We must be prepared to deal with Pang Yu at any time.

If we can't investigate openly, we can collect clues secretly.

Others don't have this ability, but he has the method of divination, which can conceal his identity to the greatest extent.

After figuring this out, Li Qingyun came up with a plan, but he still said to Fang Shuan calmly:

"Thank you Captain Fang for your advice. I won't act rashly."

He thought for a moment and added, "I have almost finished all the chores here. Tomorrow morning, I will report to Kaifeng Prefecture and start my official duties."

Fang Shuan smiled and said:
"That's great. We've been dealing with a lot of cases lately, and there's also the trouble with the Wu Shi Cult. We've always been short-handed, and your coming here would be a great help."

……

After parting with Fang Shuan and Han Tianjin, Li Qingyun returned to his own residence. After washing up, he sat at the table, pondered for a long time, and then began to meditate and do divination.

"The reason why Tang Tiefeng turned into a demon..."

Li Qingyun has now entered the second realm. His magical powers are more powerful and the information he obtains is more complete and comprehensive. After he used the "Soul Devouring" magical power to absorb the foul aura of Tang Tiefeng after he turned into a demon, he established a connection with the other party in a certain sense and could use it for divination.

Sure enough, as his qi and blood were sacrificed, he saw very real pictures...

Tang Tiefeng staggered down the dark stairs and came to a gloomy cave.

The ground underfoot was slippery and muddy, with dirt mixed with feces and the smell of blood, emitting a disgusting odor.

Tang Tiefeng covered his nose and walked to the end of the stairs. He saw huge holes in the stone walls on both sides, surrounded by iron fences, forming independent large prisons.

In the dirty and dark cell, scarred bodies lay in a "swamp" made of mud and excrement, twisting and howling, their faces and bodies covered with filth, unconsciously swallowing the black paste on the ground, occasionally looking up to the front, but their eyes were dark and lifeless.

There are prisons like this, and there are at least hundreds of them, with countless people imprisoned.

Tang Tiefeng, with white hair and a hunched body, looked around with compassion in his eyes and walked slowly forward.

After walking forward for dozens of feet and turning a corner, he found himself standing in front of a huge pool of blood.

This place is more than ten feet in radius, with scarlet viscous liquid churning inside and emitting gurgling bubbles, as if there is life stirring inside.

There were two sturdy men holding wooden barrels and pouring all kinds of strange medicinal powders into them.

"You're here, are you ready?"

A voice sounded behind Tang Tiefeng, cold and emotionless.

He was a tall man wearing a silver mask, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

Hearing this, Tang Tiefeng said sadly:

"What can I prepare..."

The masked man said calmly:
"I'll repeat myself, if you enter the Dragon Pond, your chance of survival is only 20%.

"If I fail, I will naturally become nutrients here. If I succeed by chance, I can only serve you in the future. Do you understand?"

Tang Tiefeng laughed bitterly:
"I know everything. I'm already in this state. What's there to be afraid of? It's just a matter of death. Let's get started. I can't hold on any longer."

The masked man nodded, took out a small bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, handed it to Tang Tiefeng and said:
"Eat it and stay inside for a quarter of an hour, then you will gain the power of a monster and regain your youth."

There was a ruthless light in Tang Tiefeng's eyes. He grabbed the pill and swallowed it. Then he took off his shirt, revealing his shriveled body. He jumped into the pool of blood without hesitation.
