Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The True Purpose, Fox Demon Human Puppet
“Demon -Viewing Eye?”
Looking at the new destiny before him, Zhao Huai felt a slight surprise and delight in his heart.
For him right now, this destiny was extremely useful.
It could sense the presence of lurking demonic creatures, even if they were disguised as humans, he could quickly locate them.
Moreover, it had a special see-through effect. As long as he found the true body of the demon, he could lock onto it, rendering it unable to escape.

It was like a tracking compass.
The final characteristic of revealing weaknesses was also crucial because dealing with demons would be much easier after their weaknesses were exposed. [Merge Destiny]
Merge.
Zhao Huai muttered in his heart.
The next moment, the bright orange [Demon-Seeing Eye] destiny light cluster burst into brilliance.
It turned into a stream of light, entering Zhao Huai’s eyes.
He only felt his eyes suddenly become scorching hot, as if a fiery flower bloomed in his eye sockets.
At the same time, accompanied by a torrential influx of spiritual qi, Zhao Huai’s eyes were faintly glowing.
After a while, it subsided.
There wasn’t much change in Zhao Huai’s pupils and the surface of his eyes visible to others.
But in his own eyes, it was a completely different scene.
His eyes were bright and alert, everything in front of him became dim, even the gorgeous peonies in the vase next to his bed was no exception. He could see wisps of black lines in his vision, clearly leading outside the house.
With this destiny, he no longer had to worry about demons lurking around him.
That’s what Zhao Huai thought with satisfaction.
Relying on the [Demon-Viewing Eye], he could sense the presence of faint demonic qi around him.
The source of these demonic qi was all from Li Yanqing who was lying in bed.
At this moment, Li Yanqing was like a furnace producing demonic qi, with a continuous flow of demonic qi overflowing from his body.
Zhao Huai guessed that the guards and stewards in the house had been controlled by someone, and the root of it all must be the black qi on Li Yanqing.
This black qi could affect people’s brains, causing hallucinations and agitation.
However, the black qi was now suppressed by the talismans set up by Zhao Huai.
“Brother Zhao, I’m glad you were here.”
Yan Jing saw the situation stabilized and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, young hero…”
Li Chong bowed his hand to Zhao Huai, although his voice was trembling slightly with fear.
He felt his legs were soft.
If it hadn’t been for Zhao Huai, he might have met his end today.
“Why did these demons target my son?” Li Chong looked at his son lying in bed, sighed, and couldn’t help but ask.
Zhao Huai’s treasured sword hadn’t been put away yet and was still planted in the ground. He said indifferently, “Is it possible that the demon’s original target was not your son, but you?” “How did the young hero figure that out?”
Li Chong was astonished.
“At first, I wasn’t sure until I heard the demon say ‘the next target is Jinzhou City’, and I finally realized.”
Zhao Huai had just wondered why the fox demon would place such an important mark on Li Yanqing, who was just a wasteful son.
The demonic qi mark was like a brand, difficult to create and consuming a lot of effort.
It could allow the demon’s spiritual mark to descend upon a person’s body.
There must be a reason for placing it on Li Yanqing.
There was only one explanation right now.
The person the fox demon wanted to kill.
Or rather, the person it wanted to control was actually Governor Li.
She controlled Li Yanqing in order to get closer to the governor’s mansion.
The target of the servants she had controlled earlier was also Li Chong. It was evident that the fox demon indeed wanted to deal with Li Chong.
“But why would she target me?”
Li Chong was puzzled.
Yan Jing thought for a moment, and soon came up with an answer. He said solemnly:
“Because the governor is in control of the entire Jinzhou. If you fall or are controlled by demons, the entire Jinzhou would be finished.”
“Without the government office’s support, there would be no one to report to the sect, which would greatly slow down the arrival of the sect disciples here.”
“That’s right.”
Zhao Huai nodded slowly.That was precisely what he was thinking.
“This demonic creature is really cunning and sinister?”
After hearing Yan Jing’s words, Li Chong’s face showed surprise, apparently not expecting the demons to have this move up their sleeve.
Zhao Huai walked to the door, looking at the courtyard with a calm expression:
“The crisis is not over yet, the true body of the fox demon hasn’t arrived, and it could still attack.”
At the same time, he glanced at the hexagram in front of him, which still read “Misfortune. ”
That is to say, there are still unknown dangers waiting for him.
Zhao Huai pondered.
What could the phrase “demons look at multiple divine pupils” mean?
Does it refer to looking at the eyes, and whose eyes?
The demon’s? Or his own Demon-Viewing Eye?
The divination result remained unchanged, indicating that he had not found the key.
He simply started drawing talismans, painting the new ones he had learned at the center of the courtyard.
Black Wood Thunder Talisman.
Born to guard the residence, it could block demons. Unless faced with a powerful demon at the Initiation Realm, a single talisman could block their way.
In this way, the safety of the people in the house need not be worried about.
“Boom! Boom!”
At this moment, the vermilion door of the mansion was suddenly knocked on by someone.
The loud knocking made a great commotion, with the sound being very urgent.
Zhao Huai came to the door but did not open it.
There must be demons in everything. At this point, the sun was about to set, and the daylight was fading in the west.
Who would knock on the governor’s mansion door?
Moreover, the knocking was so urgent and loud, completely lacking any etiquette.
Zhao Huai narrowed his eyes, and the [Demon-Seeing Eye] destiny opened.
A bundle of black smoke threads could be seen leading outside the door.
That’s right, not just one bundle, roughly counting, there were as many as seven or eight.
Of course, Zhao Huai wouldn’t open the door.
Not only would he not open it, but he would also draw several more talismans at the door.
He drew the Five Elements Thunder Talisman at the door in advance. He needed to draw them on the door and on the door’s sides.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The knocking noises continued without pause.
After a long silence in the air.
“Bang!”
There was a loud noise and the vermilion door was blown open.
Zhao Huai, seeing this, immediately detonated the Taoist talisman on the door.
“Boom!”
Huge flames burst out from the entrance, like a monstrous wave choosing its prey, rushing towards the outside.
With a “sizzle” sound, something was scorched and sent flying out of the door.
Only when it was calm again did Zhao Huai’s [Demon-Seeing Eye] examine the situation.
The surrounding black threads had been broken.
A weak, sly-looking man with lifeless eyes lay on the ground, staring blankly.
Moreover, it wasn’t just him. There were also several other pale-skinned men lying around silently.
Zhao Huai looked carefully, realizing that these were corpses, no longer human.
Even the bones were gone, leaving only a completely dried-out skin! The shriveled human skin, driven by the demon’s power, could barely move.
“Is this a Human Puppet?”
Zhao Huai muttered, now knowing that all these things before him were human puppets refined by the fox demon.
At this time, his Demon-Viewing Eye detected an anomaly.
Wherever his gaze went, a large amount of black smoke gathered together.
Transforming into a person.
