Chapter 144: Gufeng
As the words left the innkeeper’s lips, a surge of murderous intent filled the shadowy alley.
The fierce black dog, who had cast aside his humanity to cultivate along the Beast Dao, revealed a face full of shock and terror. This alluring woman was clearly no ordinary person.
The little girl with the high ponytail, Hutou, narrowed her eyes, and a cold glint flashed within her gaze. “Interesting... I really misjudged you. A master like you was hiding right under our noses.”
Hearing this, the innkeeper gave a slow, bewitching smile. “You two are quite amusing yourselves, one who abandoned being human to become a dog, and the other an evil spirit hiding in a child’s corpse, trying to cultivate a human body.”
Just then, the girl’s face flickered with surprise. The beautiful innkeeper of the Taiping Inn had seen through her cultivation Dao at a single glance!
The innkeeper let out a soft chuckle. “So now the Bare Body Sect really takes in all kinds of monsters and freaks? Even Gufeng doesn't rein you in?”
This time, Hutou’s expression changed completely.
She blurted out in alarm, “Who... who are you!?”
The name “Gufeng” was not just casual, it referred to one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Bare Body Sect, Lord Gufeng[1] himself.
All of them served under his command. And the Bare Body Sect operated in deep secrecy, so no outsider should have known about its hierarchy.
Yet this woman...
At this time, the innkeeper smiled faintly. “I’m just the innkeeper of the Taiping Inn. Didn’t you two want to catch me to threaten my man?”
