The operation to kill the tiger using the powerful weapons of the Divine Machine Camp has come to an end. The Tiger Lord has been killed. However, Wei Yuan still feels complex emotions. The Mountain God Temple has been continuously bombed by rockets and has collapsed completely after the death of the "Shan Jun" who sacrificed himself. The previously sturdy beams have visibly rotted. The troops quickly climbed up the lying tiger mountain. They found a mass grave behind the Mountain God Temple. All the missing people, numbering over a hundred, were killed by monsters. This scene is truly shocking in the peaceful country of Hua. While the soldiers were dealing with the Mountain God Temple, Wei Yuan looked at the huge tiger corpse and felt the lying tiger waist badge still emitting a hot sensation. He drew his broken sword and followed the feeling from the badge to the strongest point of induction, which was the bird-faced sore. He inserted the broken sword into the sore, cutting it open. He heard a low tiger roar in his ear, followed by the resentful bird cries, which gathered extreme resentment and anger in the bird-faced sore, stirring up a strong wind. Finally, it turned into a delicately textured feather, slowly falling into Wei Yuan's palm. There was a crazy aura of monsters ready to devour people, which was then covered by the lying tiger waist badge and sucked into it.

"What happened?"

Zhou Yi stood beside him. Wei Yuan put away his broken sword and didn't know how to explain for a moment. After thinking about it, he said, "The Tiger Lord had a bird-faced sore."

"And there are still doubts about this matter."

He put away his sword and said, "The real Shan Jun may still be alive."

......

In the rear command post, Wei Yuan and the first batch of special forces and special action group members who went up the mountain have all returned. However, he felt the strange gazes of those around him, as if they were looking at a rare animal in a zoo. The calm officer looked at Wei Yuan with a complicated expression. After listening to Wei Yuan's statement that Shan Jun may still be alive, he fell silent for a moment and said, "First of all, before that...we need to confirm Mr. Wei Yuan's identity."

"Identity?"

The officer nodded.

This was a military camp, and he also wanted to confirm his doubts. The Tiger Lord did say that, but his reason told him that even the most powerful person could not live as long as a monster. After thinking about it, he chose the most direct military style and asked, pressing a button.

The part of the last communication where Shan Jun spoke echoed in the room. The communication officer in the rear had already experienced a shock once, but he managed to maintain his composure. However, the faces of members who went up the mountain with Wei Yuan changed drastically, and they turned to look at Wei Yuan, as if they saw an old monster. Several Taoist priests from the Heavenly Master's Mansion stared at him tightly, as if they were ready to carry him back to the mountain once he admitted his identity. Even if the old ancestor was still alive, they would tie him up.

Wei Yuan was stunned and said, "Wasn't the message interfered with by monster power? When the Tiger Lord spoke, he said, 'It was you guys, not me.' As for the next sentence he said, 'Your ancestors suppressed me here,' he mentioned Zhang Daoling, the Heavenly Master..."

Wei Yuan's voice paused for a moment, and he said with a smile, "Probably because I used the talisman of the Heavenly Master's Mansion's Taoist priests.""So he mistook me for a disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion and sought revenge on me, a junior, because he believed that the Celestial Master Zhang had passed away. Do you really believe that I am a cultivator from two thousand years ago? The first generation Celestial Master Zhang has already ascended to immortality. How could I still be alive today?"

"Moreover, my birthplace and records should be in the household database."

"This can't be faked, can it?"

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

Wei Yuan remained calm and explained his words clearly. Compared to being an elder of the same generation as Zhang Daoling, his explanation was more convincing and in line with the common sense of modern people. At least, everyone was more willing to accept it. The officer exhaled and said:

"I see. It was just a misunderstanding."

"But Mr. Wei, you mentioned that Shan Jun is not dead. What do you mean?"

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and said:

"When I was cleaning up my ancestral home, I found a fragment of an ancient book. There was a portrait of a demon in this mountain temple on it. When we killed the Bone Skin Ghost Lady earlier, part of the portrait became dark. But when we killed Shan Jun just now, it wasn't Shan Jun who became dark, but his subordinate."

"And Shan Jun had a bird-faced sore on his body. I suspect that the one we killed was just his substitute."

................

Wei Yuan did not go back to the museum to retrieve the Strange and Divine Scroll. Instead, he quietly stamped the Lying Tiger Waist Badge on a piece of white paper, and the paper showed portraits with a hint of spirituality. When he wiped out the two demons, the paper turned yellow and extremely ancient, as if it was burning. He handed the Strange and Divine Scroll to the military.

After Wei Yuan saw the Special Operations team members and an old man with white hair in a video call, his face looked a little unpleasant. The old man looked in Wei Yuan's direction and smiled slightly before ending the call.

The Taoist from the Celestial Master's Mansion who had cast the Breaking Evil and Exorcising Demons Talisman on Wei Yuan said:

"According to the elders of our Celestial Master's Mansion, there is indeed such a method, but it is generally used to remind the guards when the demon becomes active after being defeated and sealed due to certain reasons, and to leave a trace of the demon's soul. So Shan Jun is really still alive and we don't know where he went."

The faces of everyone present darkened slightly. Wei Yuan thought of the words Bone Skin Ghost Lady said when she begged for mercy. A normal rich girl from ancient times could become cunning and deceitful after thousands of years. What about a tiger in the mountains with unknown cultivation? It was the opponent of the first generation Celestial Master Zhang Daoling, and of course, it would not be such a simple character.

But even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Wei Yuan's current strength was enough to deal with some small demons and monsters. As for such a big demon, it was better to leave it to the current generation of Celestial Masters and Zen Masters to deal with. They had a bunch of talismans and faced the weakened version of the fake, they could only entangle it a bit. Wei Yuan could only deliver takeout with a slip and slide.

After realizing that there was nothing for him to do next, Wei Yuan took the initiative to say goodbye and left. After he left, the officer took a sip of water, and the communicator beside him took off his glasses and said in a familiar tone, "Old Li, do you really believe what Wei Yuan said? His records are normal, but his skills are quite abnormal."

"And there were many coincidences in his explanation just now. I can tell that it's not that simple."The officer shook his head, interrupting him, and said:

"Alright, alright, stop..."

"Everyone has secrets. They helped us, so there's no need to dig deep into it."

"And what if it's true? What if it's really an old demon? Do you really plan to have another living ancestor in your sect? Zhang Daoling's old friend, what would the current Heavenly Master think? The Heavenly Master might not care, but what about his disciples? What would they think?"

"It's better to do less than more. If he says he's an ordinary person, then let it be..."

"In the vastness of Shen Zhou, there's room for all kinds of extraordinary people."

………………

Zhang Yue finished his day of live streaming.

With his growing fame, he had already quit his original job, no longer needed to drive outside, and no longer had to do live streams late at night.

Today, a wealthy fan made a bold statement on the spot, promising a big reward if he could eat a whole sheep tomorrow.

It was a number that Zhang Yue was looking forward to.

But he knew his appetite, and even with the addition of that seasoning, he couldn't eat a whole sheep.

What should he do?

Zhang Yue thought about it while setting the table with food.

His daughter sat quietly across from him, her face seemingly paler.

Zhang Yue served his daughter some food, and while eating, he pondered the problem. The little girl glanced at her father cautiously and said:

"Daddy, daddy, why are your teeth getting sharper?"

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "If my teeth weren't sharp, how could I bite through bones and chew through muscles to eat?"

The little girl nodded, then whispered:

"Daddy, daddy, why are your eyes getting redder?"

Zhang Yue replied, "It's probably because I look at the screen every day, and it's making the corners of my eyes red."

"Daddy, daddy, why is your face getting paler the more you eat?"

Zhang Yue laughed and replied, "Maybe it's because I'm not eating enough?"

"How else can I cure your illness?"

He thought of a way to eat a whole sheep, adding more of that seasoning should do the trick.

The little girl lowered her head and muttered:

"But, daddy, daddy."

"I'm not sick..."
