Chapter 381 Bait
Manager Wu's thoughts went through countless circles in his mind, but in just a moment, he nodded and said:
"Although I have never heard of the origin of You Xiong, but since Master Xu said so, the person who stole from my Jingmiao Pavilion is most likely the son of the demon named You Xiong."
Xu Zhenfeng saw that although he said this, there was a look of disapproval in his eyes.
He sighed, and then solemnly explained to Chief Wu in detail the characteristics of You Xiong and the fact that he could achieve the Heavenly Level in a few decades.
I saw that Manager Wu's expression gradually became surprised.
After Xu Zhenfeng finished speaking, he looked a little horrified.
"That You Xiong is so cruel. If he were to grow up, how many human cultivators would be killed or injured in this world?"
"It's not just the human race. It is said that ancient books record that the You Xiong only listens to the creatures that raise him. The creatures that can raise the You Xiong are either demons or monsters."
After Xu Zhenfeng said this, he stopped talking.
Manager Wu reacted immediately, "Whether it was the demons or monsters who raised You Xiong, the underworld would definitely be in trouble."
Then, he continued, “This matter must be made known to the underworld.”
Xu Zhenfeng thought to himself that the underworld already knew about it now, but only one person in the underworld, whose life was in danger at any time, knew about it.
"Then we have to inform the underworld as soon as possible. Now that the evil spirit has appeared, they have to do their part."
After hearing what Manager Wu said, Xu Zhenfeng's expression became a little strange.
Manager Wu didn't notice the expression on Xu Zhenfeng's face. As he spoke, he walked to the big table and shook a bell.
After the bell rang, several monks quickly came up from downstairs, and Master Wu no longer avoided Xu Zhenfeng at this time.
He took a pen and started writing on a piece of paper. After he finished, he gave it to one of the monks and asked him to copy ten copies and distribute them to the ten branch pavilions closest to Jingmiao Pavilion in Dazhou City.
Xu Zhenfeng didn't even look at what Manager Wu wrote. He just looked around the pile of shelves still on the third floor.
I kept thinking in my mind, if the thief was really that evil guy, then why did he keep stealing the magical instruments from Jingmiao Pavilion?
Moreover, not all the magical instruments he stole were valuable and rare.
Sometimes, he even just stole a low-grade guiding magic weapon that was displayed in the Jingmiao Pavilion for show.
Xu Zhen knew that the thing was equivalent to a compass.
In Jingmiao Pavilion, that thing is used as an ornamental display simply because it is exquisitely made and beautiful.
But it was still stolen by this elusive thief as if it were his daily routine.
The more Xu Zhenfeng thought about it, the more confused he became. Even he began to hesitate. Was that thing really that dangerous?
He listened to Chu Tongxuan's introduction and learned that the thing had no racial consciousness and almost killed people, monsters, ghosts and demons.
Only the demon or monster that raised him can control him.
Once the demon that raised him dies, this thing will kill indiscriminately according to its own will.
Why would such a vicious creature only steal things? Only steal magical instruments? And steal things that are worth more than three or two?
How could such a bloodthirsty and brutal creature as Chu Tongxuan described refrain from killing people and only lurk and hide to steal?
All we can say is that there is a demon or devil behind him controlling his behavior.
The only one who can control him should be the demon that raised him.
Manager Wu was busy for a while, and after arranging things, he pulled Xu Zhenfeng aside, wanting to learn more about You Xiong from him.
However, Xu Zhenfeng only learned about this from Chu Tongxuan today, and he has already told Manager Wu everything he knows.
There is nothing else to say.
Xu Zhenfeng and Manager Wu discussed some possible ways to trap the thief.
Since the formation doesn't work, the only option is to set up a preset mechanism.
But with things like mechanisms, you have to make sure that the target has entered the mechanism before you can activate it to trap him.
But when will that thing come?
Where do you come from?
Which magical weapon is he going to steal?
It's all very random.
It must be an extremely ingenious mechanism. Once the monks find that the magic weapon has disappeared, they will immediately activate the mechanism and imprison the thief inside.
Even so, if you want to catch the thief, you still need luck.
There has never been any theft in Jingmiao Pavilion since its establishment.
Although there were some small devices in the attic to deal with theft, they were of no use at all against this particular thief.
It is necessary to build a huge mechanism that can surround all the magical weapons.
Jingmiao Pavilion is already building such a mechanism, but it will take some time to complete.
After discussing with Manager Wu for a while, Xu Zhenfeng hurried back to the house that Jingmiao Pavilion had provided for them to temporarily stay.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiong Da and Chu Tongxuan sitting on each side, with their heads turned in the opposite direction of each other.
Judging from the situation, the demon and the ghost seemed to be sulking.
Seeing Xu Zhenfeng coming back, Xiong Da hurried to complain first.
"Zhen Feng, this Chu Da Yinsi is really ignorant. I have come up with a good idea. Since the evil You Xiong can devour ghosts to practice, let him go to Jingmiao Pavilion as bait.
If we can trick that evil spirit into revealing its true form and devouring him, we can seize the opportunity to capture him. Wouldn't that make this matter easier to resolve?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Tongxuan with an unhappy look on his face, "Who would have thought that this great underworld official was extremely afraid of death and would not agree to anything."
Chu Tongxuan's emotions were originally quite stable, but after hearing what Xiong Da said, he became so angry that he felt like a ghost all over.
"How many times have I told you this? My ghost body is at its weakest right now. If I become the bait, my soul will be shattered if I make a mistake."
"What are you afraid of? Jingmiao Pavilion has a great master of the Heavenly Rank, and we are here too. Can you really let that evil man devour you?"
Chu Tongxuan was so angry that his voice became a little sharp, "How can I, the dignified underworld, be used as bait for the affairs of the human world?"
"Is that just a matter of the human world? You said it yourself, You Xiong can devour souls to cultivate.
You are also making this bait for your underworld, not just for the human race."
"But I can't show up in the human world right now. Once the evil spirits in the underworld know that I'm here, the consequences will be disastrous."
"There are so many wandering ghosts in this world, all you need to do is change this damn underworld official robe you're wearing.
With your shabby appearance now, even if I tell others that you are the Great Hades of the Underworld, no one will believe it. "
Xiong Da countered Chu Tongxuan's words one by one.
Chu Tongxuan was so angry that he suddenly stood up and shouted at him, "Yes, I am afraid of death. I am afraid of my soul being scattered. Is that okay?"
Xiong Da said with disdain: "If you are afraid of death, then why didn't you say so earlier? Why are you making up so many excuses?"
Seeing that Chu Tongxuan was so angry that he almost lost his soul on the spot, Xu Zhenfeng quickly scolded Xiong Da.
He turned around and comforted Chu Tongxuan, "Chu Da Yinsi, he is just a brainless and crude demon, don't bother with him.
Even if we really need bait to lure that evil spirit to reveal his true form, we can't let you, a great underworld official, do such a thing."
