These days, the civil servants of the Demon Suppression Bureau are miserable.

While Zhao Changhe was challenging the world with great spirit on Changhe Street, they were interrogating the disciples of the Demon Sect. While Zhao Changhe was cultivating with the female swordsman Miss Xiaoxiao at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, they were fighting and even getting injured.

It is not easy to investigate and capture the Maitreya Sect disciples in such a big city. It takes at least a month to complete this task. Not to mention, just the White Lotus Temple that was flattened that night, it took at least two or three days to search every corner.

Today, the members of the Demon Suppression Bureau who stayed in the White Lotus Temple to search the warehouse found a girl hidden in a corner of a pile of clothes. When they pulled her out, they saw that she had been tied up and starving for several days.

When asked, she said she was the Flower Picking Celestial of the White Lotus Temple... A few days ago, she was inexplicably knocked out and didn't know anything. When she woke up, she was already like this, and she even asked what year it was.

There were undercover agents from the Demon Suppression Bureau in the Maitreya Sect. Gong Chaoqun had known before that the Maitreya Sect's Flower Picking Celestial was planning to seduce Zhao Changhe. He had even intercepted Zhao Changhe on the road to remind him of the illusion problem of the celestial. The subsequent events became clear. The Flower Picking Celestial sent by the Maitreya Sect to seduce Zhao Changhe was called the Flower Picking Celestial... So where did this nearly starved Flower Picking Celestial come from?

Gong Chaoqun realized that something was wrong and quickly sent Tang Buqi to find Zhao Changhe.

When Zhao Changhe hurried to the Demon Suppression Bureau and saw the exhausted Flower Picking Celestial, her appearance was vaguely similar to the previous celestial, but overall, they were quite different. It can be said that she was very unfamiliar.

He squatted in front of her and asked, "Do you know me?"

The Flower Picking Celestial thought for a while with a confused expression, "Are you... the bloodthirsty Asura Zhao Changhe?"

Zhao Changhe twitched his mouth, "Yes. Did you guess that from my appearance?"

"I saw you enter the White Lotus Temple."

"...And then?"

"I only know that you went to find the Law Yuan Buddha, but I don't know what you talked about." The Flower Picking Celestial struggled to remember, "The Law Yuan Buddha mentioned to me earlier that if Zhao Changhe came, maybe it would be my mission... But I didn't receive this order that day, and suddenly I didn't know anything."

Zhao Changhe's expression became even stranger.

It seemed that someone had knocked out this girl and took her place... Not to mention the purpose of that person, just considering that the person was a fake celestial, how did they deceive the Maitreya Sect disciples?

Oh, right... Zhao Changhe tapped his head—That person disguised herself as Yue Hongling, and she looked very much like Yue Hongling. This caused the other Maitreya Sect disciples to not think too much...

This girl is so interesting. As a fake, she actually took the opportunity to stay in the Maitreya Sect by pretending to be Yue Hongling. She even resisted when the White Lotus Temple was attacked that night! This is amazing.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Changhe could even imagine a more interesting process:

For some reason, the fake celestial knocked out the Flower Picking Celestial. It was probably not for the purpose of taking her place, but for another reason. This can explain why she continued to stay in the White Lotus Temple afterwards, she had something to do.

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

But just after knocking her out, someone outside called for the Flower Picking Celestial to go on a mission and pretend to be Yue Hongling...

This time, the fake celestial was in a dilemma. She couldn't wake up the real one and let her do the work, right?

So, since she was in the warehouse where clothes were stored and the dressing room was nearby, she simply changed into a set of red female swordsman attire, made some changes to her appearance, and swaggered out pretending to be the Flower Picking Celestial.

Ordinary Maitreya Sect disciples wouldn't think too much about it. They even sent her to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and touched up her makeup to make her look more like Yue Hongling.

The more Zhao Changhe thought about it, the more interesting it became. What's even more interesting is that this girl, as a fake, actually cooperated with him and pretended that something happened between them. It was seamless. The real Flower Picking Celestial shouldn't have behaved like that. He mistakenly thought that she was a real celestial who hadn't been brainwashed...

Although he didn't know her original purpose or what changes in her thoughts occurred later, and what she intended to do... But the process should be like this, almost certain.

It's impossible for her to deliberately knock out the real celestial and take her place just to get close to him. That doesn't make sense, and it's not necessary. If she really wanted to get close to him, a clean identity would be much more useful than the identity of a celestial.

"It's okay." After thinking for a long time, Zhao Changhe finally turned to Gong Chaoqun, "This is just an ordinary Maitreya Sect celestial. Deal with her as you see fit."

Gong Chaoqun understood his meaning, "What about the previous one..."

"Please ask the Demon Suppression Bureau to help screen the background of this kind of person. Be smart and decisive, with a wicked nature, and be as carefree as a Maitreya celestial..."

Gong Chaoqun's expression became more and more strange, "Aren't you familiar with the Four Elephant Sect?"

Zhao Changhe was quite annoyed, "The Four Symbols Saintesses are not like that. They wouldn't flirt with people they don't like. You guys have a big misunderstanding!"

Tang Buqi spoke in a strange tone, "We don't understand the Four Symbols Saintesses as much as you do."

Zhao Changhe clenched his fist.

Tang Buqi took a step back.

Zhao Changhe didn't bother with him and continued, "Another clue is that she really knows the Maitreya Sect's techniques. I suspect that her immature fighting style at the time was due to her unfamiliarity with the Maitreya Sect's techniques. She should have another fundamental technique. Her cultivation level might not be too low, but it's significantly lower than Yue Hongling's. Anyway, this narrows down the scope. You guys should sift through this information and let me know if you find anything."

Gong Chaoqun was also processing this information in his mind. After a while, he shook his head and then nodded, "Alright, I'll sift through it carefully."

Tang Buqi's gaze shifted between the two, looking utterly confused.

Gong Chaoqun added, "There's another thing that I think Young Master Zhao would be interested in."

"Oh? What is it?"

"The correspondence between Fayuan and the Maitreya Sect's leader. You didn't read it when you gave it to me, did you?"

"No, there were so many letters. I didn't have the time to read them all... It's your job to keep track of the rebels' movements."

"Indeed, most of it is our business. But there's one thing that you might need." Gong Chaoqun smiled, "In the letter from Maitreya to Fayuan, it was mentioned that there might be a treasure for nurturing evil energy in the Jiangdong area. Fayuan should pay attention to it. The most likely place is Jinling, where Maitreya is currently located. Fayuan's reply was half-written, saying that there's definitely nothing in Yangzhou, and he suspects that Gusu is more likely."

Zhao Changhe listened quietly, his breathing noticeably heavier.

Tang Buqi asked from the side, "What is a treasure for nurturing evil energy?"

Gong Chaoqun laughed, "Just like the Maitreya Sect's doctrine of achieving Buddhahood through killing, many of their techniques are full of evil energy. The more murderous a person is, or the more people they kill, the more powerful these techniques become. That's why the Maitreya Sect was interested in recruiting Young Master Zhao. As a bloodthirsty Asura, he fits their doctrine of killing. In fact, the Blood God Sect also encourages killing. The more evil energy one has, the stronger they become. When practicing the Blood Evil Technique to the later stages, relying on one's own vitality is not enough, one must kill to nurture the evil energy."

Zhao Changhe didn't interrupt. He understood the principle very well.

A long time ago, he had to borrow Wang Dashan's head to break through.

Why did every battle, especially those involving bloodshed, help his Blood Evil Technique to break through? Why was his combat power at its peak after each breakthrough?

The basic principle of the Blood Evil Technique is based on this.

Tang Buqi continued to ask, "So there are treasures that can nurture this evil energy?"

"Whether it's a treasure, a location, or a special method, there must be something. It's impossible to rely solely on killing." Gong Chaoqun laughed, "Young Master Zhao gave us these letters. I thought this piece of information would be useful to you, so I'm returning the favor."

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath, "Thank you, it's indeed useful... very useful."

What was he just thinking about?

He had almost exhausted the benefits of his physique, and the next thing to consider was something non-human.

This evil energy is the most typical non-human thing in his Blood Evil Technique. If he wants to break through to the sixth level or even peek into the secret, he must focus on this.

But you can't just think about killing people, right?

Unexpectedly, he received news as soon as he turned his head.

He was still wondering where to go next... Forget about Wushan and the capital for now.

Want the subsequent secret manual of the Blood Evil Technique, but afraid of not being able to defeat Sect Leader Xue? Of course, the right way is to improve as much as possible before going.

There's no need to consider the next destination, it's Gusu.
