I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 150 - 130: The Storm Approaches

"Hard to say." The old beggar chuckled: "But don’t worry, that demon was hit by a mud pellet mixed with black dog blood, breaking its cultivation. It will surely leave a wound on its face that cannot heal. Little brother, if you encounter someone with a round black scar on their face in the future, pay extra attention."

"Oh." Qin Yuesheng nodded.

As soon as Eldest Granny Wen disappeared, the household servants immediately rushed forward to lift the unconscious Master Sun from the ground.

"Master? Master?"

Amidst the calls, Master Sun slowly opened his eyes.

"Where am I? What happened to me?" Feeling pain on his forehead, Master Sun quickly reached out to touch it, finding his hand covered in mud and blood.

The household servants recounted everything that had happened to Master Sun.

"I see." Master Sun immediately stepped in front of Qin Yuesheng and the old beggar, respectfully and gratefully clasping his hands: "Thank you both for your help. Without you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have escaped this calamity."

"Hey." The old beggar smiled: "You have accumulated virtue and moral courage for protection. When faced with danger, the Celestial Dao will naturally lend a hand, allowing us to coincidentally learn of your family’s troubles and rush to assist you. Even without us, with such accumulated virtue and moral courage, there would surely be others appearing to help you overcome difficulties. This is causality and blessings."

"The old gentleman’s words are profound. Although I don’t quite understand them, I know clearly that the gentleman is indeed an extraordinary person." Master Sun grabbed the old beggar’s arm: "Please, stay at my mansion for a few days, both of you, so that I can properly thank you.

At this moment, Master Sun no longer minded the old beggar’s dirty appearance, instead showing great warmth, which made Qin Yuesheng secretly click his tongue.

However, Qin Yuesheng took note of the old beggar’s words, wondering if accumulating virtue and moral courage and the Celestial Dao were truly so profound.

"Since this matter is resolved, I will take my leave. Master Sun, most of the credit for this goes to this old gentleman, I merely lent a bit of strength. Give him the hundred taels of gold." Qin Yuesheng said.

The old beggar immediately scratched his chin in excitement: "I’m grateful, I’m grateful. Little brother, you’re generous and righteous, the old man remembers you."

Qin Yuesheng smiled without speaking.

In Qin Yuesheng’s eyes, this old beggar still seemed unfathomable. During this operation, he merely deployed seemingly simple yet crucial techniques. Without the old beggar’s methods, Qin Yuesheng wouldn’t have managed anything despite his skills.

Moreover, the old beggar was very knowledgeable, with a scope and experience far beyond Qin Yuesheng, sparking his curiosity further.

Why did such a mysterious person suddenly appear in Cyan Yang City at this critical moment? Just passing by? Or here for some specific purpose?

Not accepting Master Sun’s invitation to stay, Qin Yuesheng decided to leave since the matter was resolved.

On his way out of the mansion, he could still smell the pungent stench, as if it originated within the mansion itself.

Qin Yuesheng instinctively took out the Spirit Fox’s Vision to observe the surroundings and saw a black aura rising from the northeast corner of Sun Mansion. He immediately stopped.

The household servant leading him couldn’t help but ask, "Young hero, what’s the matter?"

"What is that place?" Qin Yuesheng pointed in the direction of the rising black aura.

"That’s the rear chamber, where the master’s female relatives reside."

During his daytime inspection of Sun Mansion, Qin Yuesheng hadn’t noticed anything peculiar like this.

And considering the previous encounter with many Ghost Race members at Cold Mountain Temple during the day, it proved the appearance of the black aura was unrelated to day or night.

Qin Yuesheng suddenly had a thought.

There might be a member of the Ghost Race hiding in Sun Mansion, possessing some means to conceal the ominous aura emanating from themselves.

And now, those means had been broken, which was why the ominous aura appeared.

"Eldest Granny Wen is not dead; she’s the Ghost Race member, hiding among the females in Sun Mansion!" Qin Yuesheng realized.

The reason for such happenings was likely due to the old beggar hitting Eldest Granny Wen with that black dog blood mud pellet, whose function evidently wasn’t as simple as the old beggar claimed.

Qin Yuesheng squinted his eyes, suddenly exclaiming while pointing in another direction: "Look! Someone’s on the moon!"

The household servant immediately looked up: "Where? Where?"

Qin Yuesheng swiftly chopped the servant’s neck, knocking him unconscious.

He moved the unconscious servant behind a nearby rockery to avoid detection, then took out the golden mask he had stored in the Celestial Demon pouch when he returned home, put it on, and quickly used his Lightweight Skill, rushing toward the source of the black aura.

...

"Ah!" The woman clutched her face in pain, her expression filled with ferocity.

Just as the old beggar said, there indeed was a round scar on her face, as if scalded, very noticeable.

"Those two damn beasts." The woman snarled, her face immediately wrinkling, grotesque.

"Is anyone outside? Come in quickly."

Hearing the voice from the room, the maidservants guarding the door exchanged glances, then cautiously pushed the door open and entered.
