Chapter 105 - Cultivator Ignited Tavern on Fire with Thrower to Apprehend Human Trafficker. His Name is Not Hans.

The mission indeed inclined toward his goals. Fu Tong was pleasantly surprised.

’Are those what I was planning to do?’

Since the system wanted him to get in Pei Guihong’s way, Fu Tong had no reason not to. He flew home.

-

Hours later, Fu Tong returned to the sect. However, he stopped by the village south of the Divine Could Mountain.

The village, where cultivators gathered to prepare for the exam event, seemed restless. Men formed groups and patrolled the area as though they were looking for a criminal. Twenty female cultivators assembled in the plaza’s center, encircled by men forming a protective perimeter. It seemed they were protecting the women, not bullying them.

Curious about the event, Fu Tong descended to the village.

He inspired both fear and respect in the cultivators, who flinched at his gaze. They recognized his golden-core aura. Because they were weak Qi Condensation cultivators, they bowed down to Fu Tong.

Fu Tong approached a group of men, who formed a wall around the group of women. He asked.

"What happened here?"

The men recognized the uniform of Fu Tong and cupped their fists. They reported.

"Senior, sir. Good timing. There’s a kidnapper on the loose. About a hundred women have gone missing, including commoners. We have been searching for the culprit and the victims, but we found nothing."

Fu Tong’s eyes narrowed. He knew the pattern.

It was indeed Pei Guihong’s work. Among the seven protagonists, he was the only dual cultivator.

Four abilities compelled that man to perform atrocities exceeding those of third-rate villains.

In the game, Pei Guihong’s harem size was comparable to a country. Any female cultivator who looked into his eyes would be instantly hypnotized due to the Eye of Lust God, his soul-bound artifact. Not even Li Wushuang or Tang Youyan were immune to this ability.

The second cheat was his skill-steal abilities. He needed to dual-cultivate with the hypnotized women first to steal their Qi and skills. However, as his dantian was currently broken, he could not sustain the absorbed Qi. Only by consuming the Peach of Rebirth could his dantian be recovered.

His third ability was his knowledge. He could craft various types of talismans, and he was an expert in concealment arrays. Once his arrays had been activated, he and the brainwashed women were undetectable to ordinary people and cultivators.

And lastly, his fourth ability could only be used after Pei Guihong got his hands on the Peach of Rebirth. His body would always be immune to damage as long as his opponents were men, and their cultivation was in the mortal realm.

Players had to stop the protagonist from becoming overpowered by preventing him from accumulating skills and techniques from female cultivators. To kill him, though, players will have to fight through his bodyguards, a group of brainwashed women acting as meat shields.

"Have you contacted the sect?" Fu Tong asked.

"Yes, senior. But the elders can’t do anything. They said the culprit was not in the area, but a farmer’s young wife had just disappeared last night. The women are panicking."

Fu Tong turned to the women and questioned them. "Then why are they still here? Why aren’t you going home?"

The girls looked at each other and gritted their teeth. They cupped their fists while one of them confessed.

"We’ve heard rumors of heaven-grade cultivation manuals at the Divine Cloud Sect, so we’re here to try our luck. We’d rather risk our lives and dignity here. It’s better to live as a cultivator than becoming a commoner or someone’s concubine."

Fu Tong pitied them. In this dog-eat-dog world, women always fell victim to brutes and bandits. No laws could be enforced on cultivators who eluded the cities and authorities.

"Fine. I’ll help you look for the culprits." Fu Tong promised.

"R-Really?!"

"Say, I’ve been outside for a long time and I’ve just returned. When will the examination start?"

"Next week, senior brother."

"Alright."

Fu Tong thought of something and came up with an idea. He placed karma coins around the village and drew an array. He also ordered the candidates.

"No matter what happens, do not leave the village. Stay within the dome, alright? Also, if someone suddenly starts screaming and running around in flame, that’s the culprit."

The young cultivators were confused, but they listened. Everybody watched Fu Tong work.

Fu Tong smirked. He had a plan to flush out the rat.

—

After an hour, the array was completed. He buried 100,000 karma coins at the heart of the formation. He hoped that it was enough to remove Pei Guihong’s protective talismans in one shot.

He activated the array.

A semi-transparent blue dome manifested, covering the entire village. Everybody looked around and clamored as they had never seen an array barrier from the inside before.

But they had no time for sightseeing.

A pillar of flame emerged, shooting out of the tavern’s roof.

"AAAAAHHH!!"

The sound came from the tavern. Everybody turned to the source of the noise, and one of them rushed to see the commotion.

A fire broke out in a tavern’s room. A naked man jumped out of the top-floor window while he was on fire. He tumbled to the ground and pulled out a fire-warding talisman to remove the flame, but it didn’t work.

As for the person in flame, he was none other than Pei Guihong.

Fu Tong raised his head to look. He was about to move, but the heart of the array glued him on the spot.

The array specified Pei Guihong as a target. In exchange for the effect, it required him to keep touching the written pattern on the ground, or the array would be disabled.

Meanwhile, a cultivator busted into Pei Guihong’s burning room and found the missing young woman lying unconscious.

He shouted. "WE’VE FOUND THE MISSING WOMAN!!"

All cultivators leaped into action, surrounding Pei Guihong. The women also gathered to get a good look at the pervert’s face.
