In the small courtyard, in front of the stone table, Su Chen, Feng Wentian and Wu Qiankun were sitting opposite each other, with smoke curling from a pot of spiritual tea and the fragrance of tea overflowing.
Wu Qiankun slowly recounted his experiences over the past thousand years.
It turns out that Wu Qiankun single-handedly used the Qiankun Demon Sealing Formation to seal the Sea of the Abyss thousands of years ago, but he himself also suffered unimaginable backlash, and his foundation was almost half destroyed.
For hundreds of years, he spent most of his time in seclusion.
Wu Qiankun is a casual cultivator, not a member of the sect. Although his talent is unparalleled and his formation skills are superb, he also has many enemies.
Therefore, he mostly stayed anonymous, cultivating in the mountains and fields, and gradually faded out of people's sight. Many people even thought that he had fallen.
However, Wu Qiankun's injuries were extremely serious, and even though he had searched for a superb alchemy saint, he was unable to do anything.
He could only watch as his martial arts spirit gradually dissipated and his cultivation gradually declined, which was extremely painful.
Decades ago, his cultivation had fallen to the Yuan Dan realm, and it was no longer safe for him to live in seclusion in the mountains.
As the saying goes, it is hidden in the city.
He came to the nearby ancient city of Nanhuang, bought a small courtyard, and lived a life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes.
In fact, Wu Qiankun has already planned for the rest of his life.
Wu Ming and Wu Ruoruo, a pair of brothers and sisters, were picked up by Wu Qiankun from a dilapidated mountain temple outside the city on a snowy night more than ten years ago.
From then on, he treated Wu Ming and Wu Ruoruo as his own and took good care of them.
But an accident five years ago left him seriously injured. Although he escaped death, he was infected with the power of evil.
"...Five years ago, I wanted to build a foundation for my two children. I bought some precious medicine and demonic beast essence blood to temper their bodies. I took out a volume of secret techniques and went to the Yuan family's Qizhen Tower. However, I was stopped by Yuan's family.
An elder of the family targeted him and wanted to kill someone to seize the treasure. Although I unleashed my secret technique and severely injured him, I escaped death, but I was also infected with the power of evil spirits..."
Wu Qiankun slowly recounted his experiences over the years.
After Su Chen and Feng Wentian heard this, they were both filled with emotion.
None of them thought that the majestic Formation Saint, the peerless genius from ten thousand years ago, would actually fall into this fate.
If there had been no Su Chen today, Wu Qiankun would have died tragically in this small courtyard.
Wu Qiankun's words made Feng Wentian's expression become extremely solemn.
"Senior Wu, are you saying that someone from the Yuan family is colluding with evil spirits from outside the territory?"
When Feng Wentian heard this, he was naturally shocked and angry.
If this is the case, then the Yuan family is colluding with evil spirits from outside the territory under the nose of Wanbao Pavilion, and may also have evil intentions towards Wanbao Pavilion.
"It should be! The elder of the Yuan family was forced by me to burst out the secret technique of the extraterrestrial evil spirit and severely injured me! Over the years, the Yuan family has been searching for my whereabouts. If it weren't for me, I still have some means.
, I’m afraid I’d have been captured by them long ago!”
Wu Qiankun smiled bitterly.
"This matter is of great importance. I must go and investigate! If the Yuan family really colludes with evil spirits from outside the territory, then they really deserve to die!"
Feng Wentian's eyes were extremely gloomy, revealing a cold murderous intent.
"Elder Feng, if you want to investigate, please do it secretly and don't alert the enemy! If the Yuan family colludes with evil spirits from outside the territory, then Wanbao Pavilion..."
Su Chen said meaningfully.
"You mean... there are people in Wanbao Pavilion who are colluding with evil spirits from outside the territory?!"
Feng Wentian was shocked all over.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high.
Immediately, he couldn't sit still.
"Sir Su Chen, this matter is of great importance. I can't accompany you here anymore! But I have informed the lady and she will come to you soon!"
Feng Wentian said apologetically.
"No problem! Elder Feng, just go ahead and do your work!"
Su Chen smiled calmly and said.
He naturally understood that Feng Wentian was extremely worried and angry when he heard that someone in Wanbao Pavilion might be colluding with evil spirits from outside the territory.
This is a matter of life and death for Wanbao Pavilion!
In fact, Su Chen had a vague feeling in his heart that this might have something to do with Jiuyang Divine Sect.
Feng Wentian bowed his hands apologetically to Su Chen and Wu Qiankun, and then left in a hurry!
