Chapter 37 Exposed? Seeking Asylum!
Purple Cloud Sect.
Inside the Elder's Cave!
Zhao Tianhai was enveloped in overwhelming killing intent as he coldly stared at Hong Ming, who was kneeling before him.
He said in a deep voice, "Tell me, why did he die when you and Wu'er went to search for that person's whereabouts?"
His voice was cold and indifferent, and his terrifying killing intent was chilling to the bone!
Hong Ming was drenched in cold sweat and his body trembled uncontrollably.
But he knew that his life was now in Zhao Tianhai's hands.
If you answer poorly, the only consequence is death!
Bang bang bang!
Hong Ming kowtowed three times with a look of terror on his face, completely unaware that blood was flowing from his head.
"Elder Zhao! That person killed Senior Brother Zhao!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianhai's expression changed, and his killing intent vanished instantly.
Compared to the Earth's core fire crystal, my grandson is nothing!
He flashed in front of Hong Ming and grabbed him.
He demanded, "Have you discovered who took the Earth Core Fire Crystal?"
Feeling the vanished, unseen killing intent, Hong Ming was secretly delighted.
You made the right bet!
He immediately replied, "It's absolutely true, Elder! It's in Xiaozhai Village, Wuhe County, Qing Kingdom!"
Apart from that village, all the other mortals in Wuhe County were sacrificed by evil cultivators.
When my senior brother Zhao and I heard the news, we had some doubts.
He then went to inspect the area.
Sure enough, they found the person!
However, that person was very strong, and he had a lot of second-tier spirit talismans. My senior brother Zhao and I were no match for him, so we chose to split up and run away. We would try to escape as many people as we could and then come back to report so we could go and capture him!
"I just learned of Senior Brother Zhao's death myself!"
After hearing Zhang Xuanchen's exact location, Zhao Tianhai lost interest in listening to anything else.
As long as I can get the Earth Core Fire Crystal, I don't care if one of my grandsons dies, or even if all my grandsons die.
He immediately carried Hong Ming to the sect leader's main hall.
Before long, the Purple Cloud Sect dispatched most of its disciples to various teleportation arrays, markets, and other locations to guard and patrol!
……
Zhang Xuanchen was completely unaware of the Purple Cloud Sect's actions.
He had successfully boarded the teleportation array to Black Dragon Immortal City.
He learned this after asking the locals.
Half a month ago, the major powers were extremely domineering.
Unless you belong to a Golden Core faction, you must have your storage bag checked before you can live peacefully in the city.
At that moment, he was secretly rejoicing.
"Indeed, staying in Xiaozhai Village for twenty days was the right thing to do, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."
As the teleportation array activated, Zhang Xuanchen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and the next moment he arrived in Black Dragon Immortal City.
Looking at the Soul-Stabilizing Jade in his hand.
Tsk amazed.
This is really a good thing. It seems I should cook more meals for Sister Ruyu in the future.
For example, the spicy soup from my hometown in my previous life.
And sweet tofu pudding with added white sugar.
After all, I've been using teleportation arrays quite a lot lately, and this jade has been of great help to me.
After playing with it for a while, I went to a secluded place and quickly changed into a new face.
A wandering swordsman with a weathered face.
As soon as I stepped out, I sensed something was amiss.
A group of cultivators dressed in matching purple robes appeared in the teleportation array!
It's the Purple Cloud Sect!
not good!
Had I been discovered?
No, that's impossible.
Although they were not very convinced that they had been discovered, they quickly took action.
That means finding a powerful backer!
If there's anyone in the Ziyun Sect that they wouldn't dare investigate, it's the Tianya Restaurant!
No force in the South China Sea Immortal Continent is willing to provoke this mysterious power.
"I hope the token that Sister Ruyu gave me will be useful. It would be even better if she were still around."
Now he needs to enter the Tianya Restaurant and find the manager before the disciples of the Ziyun Sect and other forces can react.
However, one must not show any eagerness.
The disciples haven't started the investigation yet, probably because they're worried about not having enough manpower or someone resisting.
If you give yourself away because you're too eager and get caught, you'll be in trouble.
"Halt! This is an operation by the Purple Cloud Sect! Please show us your storage bags so we can check them!"
The sound coming from behind instantly froze Zhang Xuanchen in place.
Cold sweat dripped down his face.
If discovered here, the probability of escaping Black Dragon Immortal City is almost zero.
In other words, there is a very high chance that he will be suppressed by the Ziyun Sect.
"How dare you! A mere outer disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect dares to investigate me! Get out of here! My Bai family is a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, how can we allow you to bully us!"
"Damn it! I've come all this way to do business, and this is what I get! What bad luck!"
Hearing the young man cursing not far behind him, Zhang Xuanchen breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt as if a huge mountain that had been pressing down on me had suddenly collapsed.
The person shouting wasn't calling out to themselves.
"Yes! That's it! Resist him! Fight him! Because there won't be another chance!"
Zhang Xuanchen was well aware that right now, the Ziyun Sect was just one Golden Core power, but after a while, it would be a partnership of several Golden Core powers.
At that time, the young masters of these Foundation Establishment families will also have to obediently accept the investigation.
Zhang Xuanchen kept walking and asking questions along the way, and finally arrived at Tianya Restaurant safely before Black Dragon Master gave the order.
At this time, the entire Black Dragon Immortal City was under martial law, and even a dog had to be checked!
We arrived at the counter of the restaurant.
"Sir, there are menus on the table, so there's no need to come to the counter to order."
The slightly overweight middle-aged man, who was working on his abacus, looked at the weathered-looking man in front of him and offered a reminder.
Zhang Xuanchen naturally knew there was a menu on the table; it was his suggestion to Yan Ruyu, and she subsequently promoted this measure to all branches of Tianya Restaurant.
But he didn't come here for a meal; he came seeking refuge.
To avoid attracting attention, Zhang Xuanchen took out a pink token engraved with the character "jade" and handed it to the shopkeeper.
He transmitted his voice, "I wonder if your esteemed establishment, the residence of Yan Ruyu, is located here?"
Fifth Miss's Token!
This guy managed to get the Fifth Miss's token even after blowing up several of his ancestral graves!
The slightly overweight middle-aged man was immediately filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
He worked diligently for 120 years, yet he never exchanged more than 20 words with the Fifth Miss.
What has this kid done to deserve this...?
Forget it, the person with this token is probably someone I can't afford to offend.
He immediately smiled and said, "Yes, sir. The Fifth Miss is cultivating in the training room downstairs. I'll take you there to find her."
He smiled brightly, his tone even somewhat fawning.
Zhang Xuanchen took in all the changes in the slightly overweight middle-aged man's expression.
I was incredibly surprised.
With his spiritual power, he was able to detect those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
But at this time, nothing could be detected.
This proves that the person in front of you is a cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment or above.
A mere token was enough to make the other party fawn over him.
Yan Ruyu must hold a high position at Tianya Restaurant.
Am I being a bully who borrows the tiger's power or a freeloader?
It was actually pretty enjoyable.
Follow the slightly overweight middle-aged man to the entrance of a cave at the deepest part of the basement.
"Fifth Miss, an official carrying your token is looking for you."
As soon as the voice fell, a seductive voice came from inside the cave.
"I understand, you may leave."
