Chapter 42: The Secret Realm of the White Tiger (14)
The three of them followed the traces left by Feng Xiao'e and Zhang Susu until they saw the body of a male cultivator on the side of the road.
"There are no traces here. Could it be that Junior Sister Feng and the others killed the male cultivator and escaped successfully?" Shi Zhongtian guessed, looking at the male cultivator's body.
"Impossible, this male cultivator at least had the cultivation of golden elixir during his lifetime.
Feng Xiao'e and Zhang Susu are only in the early stage of foundation building, so even if they have the talismans presented by many fellow Taoists, there is absolutely no possibility of counterattack to kill the golden elixir."
Pei Xiyun shook his head rationally and denied this possibility.
Immediately afterwards, he expressed his thoughts again, "Someone should have rescued them.".
"If someone really saved them, then they should be safe now, right?" Xu Tao guessed.
Pei Xiyun: "It may be safe, or it may not be safe.".
"Yes, who knows who rescued them? What if they are also people with bad intentions, wouldn't it be..." They just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again!
The more Shi Zhongtian thought about it, the more worried he became.
"Can you tell which way they went?" Xu Tao thought about it. This is the world of immortality. People who do good things to others are not necessarily good people.
"Someone erased their traces, and now nothing can be seen." Pei Xiyun said with a frown.
The traces disappeared, and the three of them could only continue to search nearby, hoping that the person was not far away.
The three of them searched around the area, but did not find the person they were looking for. Instead, they met two monks who were also looking for someone.
"Three fellow Taoists, I wonder if you have ever met two female cultivators. They are both dressed in purple and their appearance is..." The two male cultivators gesticulated to describe the appearance of the two female cultivators.
"We have never seen the female nuns you mentioned. In fact, we are also looking for people. We are also looking for two female nuns. They..." Shi Zhongtian gave a brief description of Feng Xiao'e and Zhang Susu's clothing and appearance.
After a while.
The two men shook their heads and said that they had never seen a female nun dressed like this.
"What is the relationship between the female nuns you are looking for and you? Did they also disappear around here?" Xu Tao asked as she poked her head out from behind Shi Zhongtian.
"We are monks from the Yanggu sect. I am Zhang Cheng, and this is my junior brother Fang Yong.
The two of us are looking for our two junior sisters, Fang Xiaorou and Du Liniang."
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhang and I have been looking for the two Junior Sisters for two days. Unfortunately, we have searched all the way and still can't see the two Junior Sisters." Fang Yong said worriedly.
"You don't have to worry too much. Maybe they just got lost and will appear in front of you in a few days." Xu Tao comforted.
"No, they are not lost, they are in trouble!" Fang Yong suddenly became excited.
"Why is Fellow Daoist Fang so sure that something happened to Junior Sister Ling?" Shi Zhongtian's eyes held a hint of doubt.
Zhang Cheng sighed and explained the reason.
"The thing is like this, before we entered the White Tiger Secret Realm, we and the two junior sisters had already agreed on a gathering place, but it has been several days and we still haven't seen the two junior sisters coming to join us.
At first, we thought that the two junior sisters had been teleported to a far away place and it would be difficult to get over for a while.
But just two days ago, we two junior brothers met a friend we met in Baihu City in a secret realm. The friend said that he saw our junior sister being taken away by Liu Tianci, who is known as the man who discovered the beauty.
Got it!
Liu Tianci has never had a good reputation. Since we, the two junior brothers, learned about this incident, we have been looking for traces of the two junior sisters.
I heard before that someone saw them leaving in this direction, so we chased them, but unfortunately we still couldn't find the two junior sisters."
"Tanhua Lang? Is there also an imperial examination in the world of immortality?!" Xu Tao tilted his head in confusion.
"This Tanhua is not the other Tanhua. The Tanhualang mentioned by these two fellow Taoists refers to Liu Tianci, the grandson of senior Liu Wuzhen, because that person..."
Shi Zhongtian explained to Xu Tao the reason why Liu Tianci was called Tanhua Lang.
There is no such thing as imperial examination in the world of cultivating immortals. The term "tanhualang" is just a more elegant way of saying "flower picker".
Whoever calls someone who has a Mahayana grandmother can't openly call the grandson of a Mahayana ancestor a flower-picking thief.
I don't know who gave Liu Tianci such a nickname. Later, the nickname spread in the world of immortal cultivation, and everyone followed suit.
Liu Tianci himself knew this nickname, but not only was he not ashamed of it, but he was also proud of it and quite fond of it.
"Since that Liu Tianci has such a profound background, are you sure you can rescue your junior sister?" Xu Tao told the truth.
Zhang Cheng and Fang Yong sighed helplessly, "No matter what, we must try our best. We can't just watch something happen to the two junior sisters."
Fortunately, although Liu Tianci likes beauty, he doesn't like killing people.
The two junior sisters fell into the hands of Liu Tianci. Their innocence may not be guaranteed, but their lives can still be saved.
Now the two of them can only comfort themselves in this way.
"You just said that Liu Tianci brought people over here. Is it possible..." Pei Xiyun, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"You suspect that Liu Tianci took away Su Su and Xiao'e!" Xu Tao's eyes widened suddenly.
Pei Xiyun nodded and said, "It's possible. After all, Liu Tianci is a famous womanizer."
Although Zhang Susu and Feng Xiao'e are not considered great beauties, they can be regarded as little beauties with their own characteristics. No one knows whether Liu Tianci is good at this.
"If this is really the case, that would be terrible!" After being reminded by Pei Xiyun, Shi Zhongtian had to admit that there was a high possibility that the two junior sisters would fall into Liu Tianci's hands.
He had the ability to kill a golden elixir monk, was able to save Feng Xiao'e and Zhang Susu, and was still going in this direction. No matter how you thought about it, Liu Tianci was a serious suspect.
If the two junior sisters really fall into the hands of Liu Tianci, it will be really terrible!
Knowing that Shi Zhongtian's junior sister might have fallen into the hands of Liu Tianci, Zhang Cheng and Fang Yong decided to search for the person together with Shi Zhongtian and others.
Now the team looking for someone suddenly grew from three people to five people.
On the other side, Liu Tianci, Feng Xiaoe and Zhang Susu were on their way.
After walking for who knows how long, Liu Tianci finally ordered everyone to rest where they were.
Feng Xiao'e, Zhang Susu and two other female cultivators were sitting on one side, while Liu Tianci sat on the other side alone with two maids.
Liu Tianci didn't seem to really worry about them escaping. He didn't lock them tightly to him, but instead gave them a certain amount of freedom.
"Are you two okay? How did you fall into his hands?" Feng Xiao'e finally had the opportunity to talk to the two female cultivators, and she immediately asked in a low voice.
