He used his lightness skills to run quickly.

"Leave the mountain and enter the city!" The little Taoist nun said weakly as she lay on Xu Sheng's back.

Xu Sheng nodded and said, "I understand!"

Xu Sheng had thought to himself before: Aren’t the immortal cultivators in this world too weak?

But Xu Sheng also talked a lot with the little Taoist nun these days.

I know that these immortal cultivators in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio are actually not that strong.

When they use their magic power, they do have extraordinary strength.

But they cannot use their magic power indiscriminately!

They all spend their money as carefully and meticulously as poor people do!

They generally don't show their extraordinary qualities in front of ordinary people.

He will not show off his power in front of people in the city.

Because these may become causal relationships!

For example, after you show your prowess in front of others, some dignitaries will insist on pestering you to do something for them, which will be a problem.

Worse still, if the entire imperial court’s ideology were to target you, you’d be in big trouble!

Can you kill one or two officials, one or two gangs of constables, and one or two thousand soldiers?

But what if the entire court is looking for trouble with you?

If you are targeted by someone, just waste your mana to wipe out the root of the problem and you'll be fine.

But once being targeted by the "ideology" of the dynasty, it will become a nightmare for the practitioners in this world!

Unless you can kill all the people in the world or change the dynasty directly!

Otherwise your troubles will never end.

Because as long as the dynasty's "ideology" does not die.

When a group of officials, constables and soldiers died, a new group would take their place.

Endless!

Never stop!

How can a monk like you who doesn't even have that much mana to use resist? !

In short, all these factors that prevent them from practicing with peace of mind can easily cause them to be exhausted and thus delay their path to becoming immortals.

Therefore, these practitioners basically do not show off their power in front of others.

The reason why many people live in seclusion and cut off all emotions and love is that they don’t want to be involved in cause and effect!

They hope to be able to practice in a peaceful environment that will not consume their potential to become immortals.

Every time you use your magic power, it is a waste of resources and becomes a stumbling block on the road to becoming an immortal!

It is so difficult to be an immortal cultivator in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio!

If their magic power could be used endlessly, why would they be willing to hide in the mountains?

He had already come out to suppress the army and unify the world with his magical powers, and was worshipped by millions of people!

A few hours later.

Xu Sheng brought the little nun into a city ruled by the Zhao warlord.

Chun Yangzi did not follow.

"How is it, fairy nun, are you okay?" Xu Sheng turned his head and asked the little Taoist nun he was carrying on his back as he walked on the busy street.

"I'm not dead yet, I'm just running out of mana and injured."

The Taoist girl said with a pale face: "Hurry up and find an inn to stay. I must absorb your Yang Qi as soon as possible to restore my magic power and then use the magic power to heal my own injuries. Otherwise, if I delay too long, my Taoism will probably fall!"

Xu Sheng had talked a lot with the little nun before.

I know that among practitioners like the little Taoist nun, there are two concepts: Taoism and magical power.

The level of Taoism is the realm!

Mana power is equivalent to internal strength in martial arts.

Every time the nun uses her magic power and consumes it, she absorbs Xu Sheng's yang energy to restore her magic power.

However, she needs to improve her Taoism through her own practice.

"There's an inn over there!"

Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Fairy, please bear with it for a while!"

"Let's go now!" He carried the little nun on his back and quickly walked through the crowd towards the inn.

Ten minutes later.

In the inn room.

"Xu Longsheng, my limbs are a little weak now. It's inconvenient for me to move, so you have to move."

The little nun lay on the bed with a pale face. She pursed her delicate lips and said, "Come closer!"

"Fairy, would you like to drink some water first?"

Xu Sheng hurried forward: "Do you want me to pour you a glass of water?"

"Need not."

The little nun shook her head gently, and then she opened her lips and whispered, "Amitabha!"

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

Xu Sheng carried the little nun on his back and came to the city gate of another city ruled by the Zhao warlord.

Of course, the little Taoist nun had recovered all her magic power at this time.

"The fight against that old man half a month ago was the first time I used my magic power so recklessly."

The little nun, still brooding over what happened a month ago, now leaned on Xu Sheng's back and sighed, "What a pity! That old man is too powerful! Even if I don't hesitate to use my magic power, I still can't kill him!"

Her soft voice accidentally touched Xu Sheng's neck, causing a slight itchy feeling.

"After we catch the Painted Skin Demon and your Taoism improves, go kill him."

Xu Sheng said: "Aren't we already in this city?"

When entering the city, Xu Sheng of course put the little nun off his back.

"Fairy, are you sure the Painted Skin Demon is really in this city?"

Xu Sheng couldn't help but ask as he looked at the people coming and going on the streets of the city, who were no different from the human cities he had seen before.

He had never known that there were fairies and immortal cultivators walking around in such a city.

The same city now has a different color in Xu Sheng's eyes.

"I'm not sure."

The little nun said, "But since there has been a case of dismemberment here, it is possible that it was done by the Painted Skin Demon!"

That’s right, the clue to the so-called Painted Skin Demon by the little nun was a dismemberment case.

The Painted Skin Demon in the movie Xu Sheng watched when he was on Earth was very arrogant when eating people's hearts.

It would just grab the person's heart with its sharp claws, dig it out and eat it, then just leave the body there and ignore it.

Anyone who sees a corpse like that would exclaim that it was a demon.

Of course, the ending of the movie is that this arrogant Painted Skin Demon was killed by human warriors and Taoist masters.

Before dying, the painted skin demon was still crying and moving himself, saying that he sacrificed himself for love.

Xu Sheng really wanted to say that it was obvious that you didn't have enough strength yet you were so arrogant and courted death, okay?

Originally, Xu Sheng also thought that the Painted Skin Demon in this world was the same as the one in the movie.

I thought that when I arrived at the target city, I would see the residents talking about the terrifying incident of a monster eating people's hearts.

At that time, he and the little Taoist nun stepped forward and displayed their divine power, causing the people to exclaim that they were masters and then to bow down to them one by one!

It’s a pity that people here are not discussing the Painted Skin Demon at all!

They don't even know the existence of the Painted Skin Demon.

Because this painted skin demon is not that stupid nor that arrogant!

The bodies of those who died after their hearts were eaten by it were chopped into pieces!

It used very clever means to disguise it as an ordinary dismemberment homicide.

A few hours later.

"Our next step is to get detailed information about the files of this dismemberment case in the government office!"

The young nun said solemnly: "In this way, we can more accurately judge whether this is a case of dismemberment committed by humans, or a case of dismemberment disguised by the Painted Skin Demon to eat the heart. We do this..." She planned all kinds of things.

"You want the dossier?"

But Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why bother? It's just a matter of one sentence."

"you mean?"

The little nun was stunned for a moment: "You have someone in the government office here too?"

“I remember there should be!”

Xu Sheng nodded: "Give me some time, I'll contact them!"

When Xu Sheng left, Xu Huateng handed Xu Sheng a list.

Xu Sheng can transfer Xu's undercover personnel all over the world at will.

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

"Is this the file? Did you really get it?"

The little nun opened her cherry lips again as she looked at the file that Xu Sheng handed over.

"Damn warlord son!" she snorted.

Of course Xu Sheng just smiled at this.

He knew that the little nun certainly didn't think he was really hateful.

Instead, she was expressing her envy and jealousy towards Xu Sheng, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

But how could she know that Xu Sheng's current noble birth was also the foundation laid by him in his previous life.

If he had not accumulated a lot of wealth in his previous life and had a large number of descendants and scattered his descendants and wealth all over the world.

How did he come from the Xu family warlord, one of the seven major forces in the world? And how did he come from his noble background as a warlord's son?

A quarter of an hour later.

"It should be the work of the Painted Skin Spirit."

After the little nun finished reading the file carefully, she said, "That's right!"

"Why? How did you know that?"

Xu Sheng asked in confusion: "I have read the file several times, but it seems to me that this is no different from a common case of dismemberment committed by a human murderer?"

"Intuition!" the little nun said confidently.

"???" Xu Sheng opened his mouth wide: "That's it?"

"No way?" the little nun asked confidently.

"..."Xu Sheng.

Afterwards, the little nun explained that she didn't have any special magical tool to sense the presence of monsters.

"I can only rely on my own senses. But this will only work when the demon uses its demonic power!"

The little nun continued, "When she doesn't use her magic, she's just like an ordinary person. I have no way of telling whether she's a human or a demon. Especially the Painted Skin Fairy, whose camouflage ability is second to none among the fairies."

"I see." Xu Sheng nodded.

Thinking about it, it was no wonder that he and Lu Chengzhong and others had been following Hu Xinfeng and Xiao You for several years, but the two monsters didn't discover them!

It is very likely that Hu Xinfeng and Xiao You did not use their magic power at that time, and lived like two normal people.

That's why they didn't realize that Xu Sheng and the others were following them.

Xu Sheng and the others did not notice anything unusual about Hu Xinfeng and Xiao You at that time.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past month, Xu Sheng and the little nun have traveled to dozens of nearby cities.

I got the files of relevant dismemberment cases from the government offices in various cities.

Most cities directly used Xu's undercover personnel to retrieve the files.

Some of the cities could only be stolen by Xu Sheng by using his superb martial arts skills to sneak in late at night.

There are some mechanisms that cannot be opened by martial arts or will cause too much damage if opened, so the only way is for the little Taoist nun to use her magic power to open them and get them.

In short, they successfully got all the files they wanted.

Because I can’t find the monster!

To catch a monster, we have to investigate the case first!

Then the two of them began to analyze the files and look for clues.

However, no special clues were found in the end.

In the end, the little nun told Xu Sheng that they could only try their luck in the city where the Painted Skin Demon might appear based on some small clues in the files.

"The fairies are very secretive when they are in human cities! Those fairies who are not extremely powerful but are very arrogant and do not hide themselves or do not know how to hide themselves have died long ago! They were either strangled by the army or taken in and refined by human cultivators!"

But the little nun explained: "Subduing demons and monsters depends on a certain amount of luck. Otherwise, why do those practitioners travel all over the world? You must have seen some monks and some old Taoists walking around in various cities, right? They are just trying their luck!"

Xu Sheng opened his mouth wide.

But he was speechless.

Because what the little nun said made a lot of sense.
