Chapter 772: Meeting Jing Daoxian Again
Zhou Wen was so angry that he wanted to gather his strength to break free from the old man's hand. An Sheng also realized that something was wrong and stared at the old man, ready to take action at any time.
To Zhou Wen's surprise, the old man released his hand, picked up a wooden treasure map, and handed it to Zhou Wen. He smiled and said, "Young man, this treasure map is free for you. Go dig for it first. If you can find any treasure, you can come back to me to buy the treasure map."
Zhou Wen stared at the old man, but apart from his eyes, there was nothing about the old man that looked like Jing Daoxian. He couldn't even sense the fluctuations of vital energy and the vigorous vitality that a cultivator should have from him. If the old man hadn't grabbed him just now, Zhou Wen would have thought he was just an ordinary person.
"Don't be polite with me, an old man. Just take it and dig. Maybe you can dig up the treasure of the immortals. However, not everyone can get the treasure of the immortals. If you don't have the method to confuse the immortals, I'm afraid you will never come back." The old man stuffed the treasure map into Zhou Wen's hand.
After hearing this, Zhou Wen felt even more strongly that the old man in front of him was most likely Jing Daoxian, otherwise why would he say the word "Mixian".
"Young Master Wen?" An Sheng walked to Zhou Wen's side, but his eyes were still staring vigilantly at the old man squatting behind the stall.
Zhou Wen didn't want to take the treasure map at first, but he couldn't avoid it. The treasure map was stuffed directly into his hand. Holding the treasure map, Zhou Wen's vitality was ready to burst out at any time.
The old man slowly packed up his things, put everything on the stall into a bag, and then stood up to leave, shaking his head and sighing as he walked away: "This world is really getting harder and harder to survive."
"Master Wen, do you know that old man?" An Sheng couldn't help but ask when he saw that the old man had walked halfway down the street, but Zhou Wen was still staring at the old man's back.
"I suspect he is Jing Daoxian." Zhou Wen said in a low voice.
An Sheng shuddered when he heard this, and said in disbelief, "You know Jing Daoxian?"
"I've met him once before. Although he looked different then, I think it must be him." Zhou Wen was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should chase after him.
Zhou Wen really wanted to find out what the Mysterious Immortal Scripture was all about, but the man in front of him was the most legendary villain in the history of the Federation.
Although there were many big demons in the early days of the Federation, and various demons continued to appear later, such as Yak and others, who may have killed more people than Jing Daoxian, but no one could be as legendary as Jing Daoxian.
Zhou Wen knew even more deeply how terrifying Jing Daoxian was. Jiuye and Xia Jiuhuang were both old and cunning guys, but they were all played around by Jing Daoxian.
Even though Zhou Wen has achieved some success now, he still doesn't dare to look down on such a person.
Zhou Wen had also secretly investigated the matter of Jing Daoxian before, but the information he obtained was very limited. He only knew that Jing Daoxian was seriously injured in a dimensional field and almost became a disabled person, so the Supervisory Bureau took the opportunity to hunt down Jing Daoxian.
Even so, the Supervisory Bureau's pursuit operation failed and they were unable to capture Jing Daoxian, who was almost a disabled person.
It was during that time that Zhou Wen met Jing Daoxian and obtained the Mixian Sutra.
Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and stood up to chase after him. Although Jing Daoxian was very scary, running away was not a solution. There were some things that only Jing Daoxian could give him the answers to.
Ansheng followed Zhou Wen to chase after him, but they saw the old man in front of them turn a corner. When they ran there, they found that the old man was nowhere to be seen, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Zhou Wen had been using Di Ting to monitor the old man, but he couldn't find out how he disappeared, as if he had teleported.
After searching everywhere, Zhou Wen still couldn't find any trace of the old man. An idea came to his mind, and he picked up the treasure map in his hand. He saw that the treasure map was just a wooden sign with a simple map on the front and a time written on the back. He knew at a glance that it had just been written.
"It seems that it really could be Jing Daoxian. Master Wen, are you going?" An Sheng asked while looking at the time on the treasure map.
"I have some questions that only the Well Immortal can answer." Zhou Wen handed the treasure map to An Sheng: "Can you help me see where the location marked on this map is?"
"The location is in front of the land temple. Converted into universal time, it should be 3:30 in the morning." An Sheng looked for a while and said.
"Okay, let's come back at night." Zhou Wen said.
"Master Wen, please find a place to rest first. I'll go and do some preparations." An Sheng said.
Zhou Wen was in no mood to go to the land temple to worship the God of Land, so he found a hotel in the small town and stayed there, waiting for the night to come.
An Sheng didn't return until three in the morning. When he came back, he said to Zhou Wen, "Time is too short. I tried to make some preparations, but if the other party is really Jing Daoxian, my preparations may not be of much use. Young Master, you still need to be careful."
Zhou Wen nodded and said nothing.
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Wen took Ansheng to the land temple.
The area in front of the land temple at night is naturally not as lively as during the day. There are basically no people around. However, in the same location, the old man is still setting up a stall there.
"The monitoring companion pets I set up didn't work. They didn't even notice when he entered the land temple." An Sheng whispered to Zhou Wen.
"It's okay." Zhou Wen shook his head slightly, then walked towards the old man.
As he walked towards the old man, Zhou Wen also activated the killer soul and prepared to summon his half-life pet. As long as there was anything wrong, he would immediately attack with all his strength.
"You finally came." The old man said to Zhou Wen with a smile.
"You've come to my door, is there any point for me to hide?" Zhou Wen said as he walked towards the old man.
The old man remained silent, gazing at Zhou Wen as if admiring some treasure. He said, "I originally thought you were dead. Even if you weren't dead, you'd be crazy by now. But not only are you alive and well, you appear to be alive and well."
"Because of the Mixian Sutra?" Zhou Wen asked. This was exactly the question he wanted to find out. He had never known the origin of the Mixian Sutra.
Now it is basically certain that the old man in front of us is undoubtedly Jing Daoxian.
"That's right." Jing Daoxian nodded and said, "When I first saw you, I liked you and wanted to give you my 'True Explanation of the Heavenly Demon' to practice for fun. Who knew you would actually refuse me? No one in this world can refuse me, and even if someone does, they'll have to pay a price. So I gave you the Lost Immortal Scripture. In fact, before you, the Lost Immortal Scripture had changed several masters. Each of them either died or went insane. Even I suffered greatly. If it weren't for this scripture, I wouldn't have suffered so badly in the dimensional realm."
