Other things could deceive people, but eerie qi could not. No one in the human race could use eerie qi.
Li Qingxian pointed at the blue token again and gestured.
The Blood-Mouth Devil Child spent a while guessing before finally understanding. He nodded. "The Devil Sect is supremely benevolent. I understand your meaning. Anyone holding a blue token is one of us, and anyone holding a white token is an enemy. Rest assured, anyone I see holding a white token must be a lackey of the White-Clad Men and will very likely try to hunt me down. I will certainly strike, to avenge what the White-Clad Men did to me."
The Blood-Mouth Devil Child lowered his head to examine his injuries and sighed softly.
Then Li Qingxian turned and walked away, taking out the Green Bamboo Strip and pretending to tap and knock at things nearby.
The Blood-Mouth Devil Child glanced at the Green Bamboo Strip, and every last doubt in his mind vanished. The sheer density of the eerie qi it contained was unimaginable.
Once he was far from the Blood-Mouth Devil Child, Li Qingxian returned to the alley where he had hidden earlier. The Four-Tiger Deer-Pointing Cart and the giant frog had stayed there, wandering aimlessly.
Li Qingxian recalled the images he had seen on the Blood-Mouth Devil Child, slowly working through them and considering every detail.
As long as the Devil God Portrait is there, whoever attacks him dies...
Li Qingxian continued searching for Edicts. Every sign indicated that only by finding more Edicts could he better unravel the eerie.
Li Qingxian searched for a while without finding anything, but noticed that the Blue-Clad Men and White-Clad Men nearby had clearly increased in number.
Sometimes they were on every street, leaving him no way to avoid them.
