...
Two days later.
When there were still several hundred miles to the imperial city.
Zhang Feng suddenly discovered an interesting thing today.
In a small county town ten miles away, a shape-shifting wolf demon in human disguise was negotiating a 'costless trade' with a wealthy gentleman.
Basically, it involved using magic to deceive people.
For example, the wolf demon Daoist would first create a commotion in someone's home, giving the illusion of 'ghost possession.'
Then the wealthy gentleman, using his identity in the county, claimed to know a certain high-ranking individual.
What followed was a typical scam, the gentleman taking the wolf demon Daoist along to solve the 'ghost possession' with a grand ritual.
In reality, it was all their doing.
Zhang Feng found this childishly simple scam quite amusing.
Because they were also saying it was hard to operate locally and suggested testing it on outsiders first.
