    “But how are you going to track him? Just to be clear, I don’t possess that kind of skill.”


    “Don’t worry, my Barry has not grown big over the years for nothing.”<div>


    “Barry? Does it possess such a skill?”


    “Normally no, but in Undying Bird form, it can.”


    Dragon Town wasn’t clear about Barry’s mimicry ability, didn’t really understand.


    “What Undying Bird? Have you contracted another pet beast?”


    “Just wait and see, you’ll know soon.”


    Vincent Wolf was full of confidence.


    The bidding in the venue was nearing its end.


    Eventually, the Eight Treasures Seeking Immortal Bell and Qianyuan Tribtion Transformation Pill sold for 1.5 billion and 2.3 billion respectively, thus bringing a satisfactory end to the auction. Those who had won bids were all smiles, while those who didn’t were extremely disappointed.


    A member of Bai Gui Hui, standing to the right of the statue of Ling Niangniang, said:


    “Those who did not get the tribtion holy objects, do not be hasty, there will be many more opportunities at future assemblies. As long as you sincerely believe in Ling Niangniang, the great Ling Niangniang will certainly bless you.”


    Upon hearing this, the followers seemed to be guided by an invisible force, uniformly kneeling on the ground. Their faces were full of reverence and awe, as if they were interacting directly with the deity. Their hands folded together, foreheads touching the cold ground, their hearts filled with gratitude and<div>


    reverence.


    Seeing them like this, Vincent Wolf understood that the meeting was about to end. He immediately told Barry to transform into Undying Bird Form.


    In a dim corner, Barry’s originally plump body suddenly began violent distortions. As if crushed by a heavy object, it quickly ttened, like a squashed sphere. Then, its body seemed to be pulled by an invisible pair ofrge hands, constantly stretching and changing shape.


    In an instant, its body elongated, bing thinner. Its arms became unusually long and curved, and its legs turned into sharp ws. Its face underwent drastic changes—the round cheeks became sharp, its eyes shimmered with red light, and the mouth morphed into a sharp beak.


    Eventually, Barry lookedpletely different—it was no longer a plump creature, but an undying bird standing in the darkness.


    In this form, Barry shed its water and death attributes and took on fire and life attributes instead.


    The species level changed from High-Level Commanders to a Low-level Monarch, although the growth level still remained as a High-Level Commander.


    “Barry, apply the [Life Mark] on those two by the statue!”


    Life Mark is a low-grade life attribute skill that can sense the life aura of other creatures and mark them.


    The Undying Bird could use this mark for long-distance tracking of targets, and could also sense changes in their life aura.


    The most crucial point was that the release of this skill was silent and would not draw the target’s attention. So it was very handy.<div>


    Barry shed lightly twice, and then told Vincent Wolf that the marking was sessful.


    Hearing of its sess, Vincent Wolf looked ahead once more and saw that everything was normal. The other party indeed didn’t notice anything unusual and was still worshipping. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Just like when he arrived, Vincent Wolf carefully retreated and left the Ghost House with an Instant Step.


    He went to the restroom again to change back to his own clothes before setting off to meet up with Miyazaki Saeri.


    Soon, Vincent Wolf found Miyazaki Saeri. She was having fun in an arcade.


    “Saeri, how do you like ying these kinds of things?” Vincent Wolf asked curiously from beside a King of Fighters Arcade Machine.


    “It’s all because I was forced to stay in the shrine when I was a kid. I heard my ssmates bragging about ying these things when I was in school, and I’ve always envied them. It was only after I became an adult and gained abilities that I got to y with these things. Even though they weren’t as fun as I thought, I still like to y when I have the chance.” Miyazaki Saeri replied after KOing her opponent with a heavy punch.


    “It seems being a Shrine Maiden isn’t easy.”


    “There’s a lot to learn, like those sacrificial dances and rituals… Let’s not talk about this anymore, I haven’t seen anymotion over here. Did something happen? Couldn’t find the people from Bai Gui Hui?”


    “No, I found them.”


    “Then why is there nomotion? Are they too weak, or did you ambush them?”<div>


    “I didn’t make a move.”


    Miyazaki Saeri was somewhat surprised.


    “Why didn’t you? Didn’t youe here to take them down? Have you changed your mind?”


    “No, I want to cast a long line to catch a big fish. They’re just pawns, I want to find the guys behind them.”


    Miyazaki Saeri shrugged, her face indifferent.


    “Alright then, whatever you say. Anyway, I have money now. Even if those Bai Gui Hui guys cause trouble, and there are no more devotees at the Shrine, I won’t have to worry about my pet beast starving at home. So, no matter when you eliminate them, it won’t affect me.”


    “What if I didn’t give you this money?” Vincent Wolf asked, jokingly.


    “I would surely be nagging in your ear to finish them off quickly.” Miyazaki


    Saeri alsoughed, “Just don’t go beyond a week, as that’s when the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade begins.”


    “A week?” Vincent Wolf frowned.


    To eliminate Bai Gui Hui of Qingchuan Ind within a week or else it will be the time for Hundred Ghosts Night Parade. When so many things happen, there would be too many variables and it would be difficult to make a move.


    No, the sooner the better. Otherwise, even if the Ind Owner wanted to help Vincent Wolf, he would prioritize the event of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.


    Vincent Wolfmunicated with Barry and found that the mark it made was still in ce and hadn’t left. It seemed like things wouldn’t be resolved anytime soon.


    “Looks like all we can do is wait.”


    Then, Vincent Wolf and Miyazaki Saeri strolled around the streets. With all the money she got, Saeri bought anything and everything she wanted in the endless shopping spree. Vincent Wolf was only able to keep up thanks to his enhanced stamina.


    After three hours, Vincent Wolf finally got an update from Barry.


    Barry said that the first target marked had stopped at a certain location, while the second target had gone elsewhere.


    The first target was the person to the left of Ling Niangniang’s statue, and the second target was on the right.


    Vincent Wolf opened the map, letting Barry pinpoint the marked locations.


    Barry closed its eyes to get a precise fix, then mimicked a hand to point twice on the map.


    “The first one… is in a high-end residentialplex. The second one… Whoa! That guy is in an upscale club!”


    Vincent Wolf was furious.


    “You cultists dare to use the money scammed from followers to consume in such a filthy ce! Today I will act on behalf of heaven!”


    Angry as he was, Vincent Wolf bid goodbye to Saeri and took Barry to apprehend the criminals..
