You stingy guy, you'll die if you tell her something about heaven to satisfy her curiosity.
[Since that person is so powerful, did you just tell me, Eight Patriarch, not to take that person too seriously?] It was really easy for Eight Patriarchs to say that they did not take such a powerful person seriously.
[Do you think he dares to do things like collecting luck from the lower realms openly? 】
[Even if he comes secretly, he can still kill me secretly!]
It's all done secretly anyway, so it probably wouldn't be difficult to secretly pull a dirty trick on her.
[You are really overthinking, there is more than one chess piece in that man's hands to seize the fate of the lower world for him, Su Youran.
Even if Su Youran fails, he probably won’t go into details.】
[What if he wants to dig deeper?] Xu Tao still felt a little unsafe.
[Haha, then you can only blame your own bad luck.] The Eighth Patriarch chuckled.
After chatting with Bazu for a while, Xu Tao began to think about the feasibility of getting rid of Su Youran.
Xu Tao cherishes her life very much, because the person who arranged the layout in the lower realm is a big boss who can destroy the world with just a few clicks of his fingers.
Xu Tao didn't dare and didn't want to face such a big shot.
But Su Youran is still determined to take action against her, and she doesn't want to be stuck with such a piece of dog-skin plaster.
Although Su Youran can't do anything to her as long as she doesn't turn black, but it's quite annoying for her to be remembered all the time.
After thinking for a long time whether she should take action or not, she couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only put the matter aside and not think about it for the time being.
…
"Xu Daojun, ahead is Xinghua Village." A God-Transforming Sword Cultivator from the Cangwu Sect pointed to the village ahead and said to Xu Tao.
This sword cultivator, named Changyun, is one of the ascetic monks of the Cangwu Sect.
Normally, except when doing sect tasks, he spends most of his time practicing swordsmanship in seclusion within the sect, and does not spend much time in front of others.
Xu Tao also happened to meet the other person. When he was called to do a sect mission, he happened to take on the same mission as Chang Yun, and they both went to Xinghua Village to eliminate demons.
Xinghua Village is a village under the jurisdiction of the Cangwu Sect. This village sent a distress signal to the Cangwu Sect half a month ago.
Originally, the Cangwu Sect sent other disciples to check, but unexpectedly, all the disciples who went there never returned.
Even the Nascent Soul disciples were trapped in Xinghua Village!
Only then did the Cangwu Sect raise the task level to a level acceptable to the cultivators of the Transformation of Gods.
"Is this village a little too quiet?" Xu Tao said with a frown.
"It's indeed too quiet. It's almost noon, and there are no smokes burning in the village, and no children are playing in the village."
Changyun looked at the peaceful village and said with a solemn expression.
"Without the smell of blood, everyone should still be alive." Xu Tao sniffed.
"There is a breath of living people, and there are still people in the village." Changyun said.
While talking, the two of them had slowly landed in the center of the village.
"Here is the chief of Xinghua Village. I am a monk of the Cangwu Sect, and I am here on orders from my master." Chang Yun's voice spread in all directions.
This voice carries spiritual power, I believe anyone who is not deaf should hear it.
The villagers hiding in the cellar did hear it. After hesitating for a while, the village chief came out of his cellar.
As a wooden door slowly opened, an old man with gray hair walked out of the house with a cane.
"Two immortals are very polite. This little old man is Changjiang You of Xinghua Village." The village chief came out, and the villagers also cautiously walked out of their homes one after another.
"It's almost noon, why don't you see any smoke from every household, and all the villagers are hiding in their homes?" Chang Yun looked at the village chief and asked.
"The two immortals don't know something, so we have no choice but to do this.
People disappeared one after another in the village, and even the immortal chief who came to investigate also disappeared.
The villagers were afraid, so they hid, and they didn't even dare to light a fire to cook, for fear of causing trouble."
The village chief sighed and said with a bitter look on his face.
"If you don't make a fire to cook, what will you eat?" Xu Tao asked.
"In order not to light a fire, every household had prepared some food in advance, including dried sweet potatoes and pre-baked wild vegetable and grain pancakes. With these, I could barely eat half full."
This is too miserable!
Xu Tao sighed secretly.
Changyun: "First tell us how those people disappeared before. Did any strange things happen before they disappeared..."
…
Cangwu Sect
"Master, the mission of Xinghua Village has been jointly taken over by Senior Brother Changyun and Fellow Daoist Xu.
The two of them have probably arrived at Xinghua Village now." Lu Yingzhou looked at Akashi sitting on the throne of the leader and said with a serious face.
"Yeah." Head Akashi was looking at the sect's expenditure details for this month, and his expression was a little uncomfortable.
"Why did we overspend so much this month? Where have all the spiritual stones been used?" Akashi asked with a sullen face.
"...A few days ago, Master Tan Yue had a sword fight with someone and defeated half of the city. The city lord ran to the gate of our sect to hold a banner. We can only help Master Tan Yue compensate the other party first.
Spiritual stone.
Now we still owe him about 300,000 high-grade spiritual stones without compensation." Lu Yingzhou sighed and said.
"It's Tan Yue again! Next time, you don't have to help him pay back the spiritual stones he owes. Let him pay it himself!" Ever since Tan Yue took over the position of Taishang Elder, I don't know how many troubles he has caused.
The Cangwu sect, which was not already wealthy, was made worse by such a thorn in the side. The entire sect could hardly afford to eat!
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult..." Lu Yingzhou said with a troubled face.
"If Master Tan can be compensated with spiritual stones, people won't have to go to the door of our Cangwu Sect to hold banners." Who doesn't know that Master Tan is an iron rooster who never pulls out his hair?
If you want to get the spiritual stone from his hand, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Where's Tan Yue?" Akashi forced himself to calm down the anger in his heart, not even bothering to say the word "Tai Shang Elder".
"This disciple is worried about changes in Xinghua Village, so he asked Master Tan Yue to stop by and take a look. He should be almost at Xinghua Village now." Lu Yingzhou calculated the time and then said.
"By the way? Where did he go?" Akashi asked.
"I should have gone to Beiming City to find someone to compete with for swordsmanship." Anyway, since Uncle Tan Yue came back, apart from finding someone to compete with swordsmen, I haven't seen him do anything else.
"Assign more tasks to him and don't let him be idle." This supreme elder likes to get into trouble whenever he is free.
After so many more times, he, the leader, no longer wants to do it.
…
"Just ahead, the immortals who came back from last time discovered this cave. One of the immortals said that there was evil energy in the cave.
Several immortals said they wanted to go inside and have a look, and they would go back immediately. Unexpectedly, they didn't come back for several days.
Everyone was afraid that something might happen to some of the immortal elders, so they contacted the Cangwu Sect again." The person who spoke was the son of the village chief.
