Chapter 66: Where to Go "The Immortal Venerable specifically told me not to tell...
Xie Wuyang paused, frowned, and half-crouched. He met Jiang Shutong's eyes with a stern expression. "Can you sense me? Who are you?"
Yun Wanzhou is a cautious person. If they are close friends, they must have known each other for many years.
But many years ago, Jiang Shutong was just an ordinary disciple. How did he get to know the Immortal Master and even become close friends with him?
Xie Wuyang has reached the Golden Core stage. Although Jiang Shutong's cultivation is higher than Xie Wuyang's, it is only at the Nascent Soul stage, which is not enough to see through the invisibility technique superimposed by the Golden Core.
Jiang Shutong's expression did not change. He lowered his eyes and stood up. The piled clothes stretched out and swayed with his movements.
Jiang Shutong stood in front of the tablet of the successive leaders of the Lianwu sect and lit the agarwood next to it.
When offering sacrifices to their ancestors, disciples of the immortal sect must be sincere in heart and calm in body, and must not be distracted.
I don’t know if Jiang Shutong saw him.
It was not until the aroma of burning agarwood filled half of the ancestral hall that Jiang Shutong finally took other actions.
The tablets in front are arranged neatly, and the one in the center is the ancestor of the Lianwu Sect - Yun Xiuxianzun.
When this immortal was alive, he was unrivaled in the world of cultivation. Later, he founded the Lianwu Sect and became a famous immortal master.
After the Lianwu Sect was founded by Immortal Master Benyun Xiu, it was born to punish evil and eliminate evil. Unexpectedly, hundreds of years after the Immortal Master's death, it fell into the hands of Jiang Lin, and became a state of internal turmoil and external troubles.
"But you're a disciple of Immortal Yun." Jiang Shutong said indifferently, "Immortal Yun was talking to me about you yesterday. I didn't expect you to actually come today."
"Do you know where my master is?" Xie Wuyang suddenly grabbed Jiang Shutong's right arm, his tone urgent.
Jiang Shutong glanced sideways, frowned, and did not answer directly.
Xie Wuyang had been worried for more than a month. He had finally gotten clues about Yun Wanzhou, so how could he give up so easily?
Seeing that Jiang Shutong had not responded for a long time, Xie Wuyang remembered that he was still under the spell of invisibility. In a hurry, he raised his index finger and broke the spell in front of him without thinking.
The spiritual power scattered, and Xie Wuyang's true body gradually appeared.
Before he could reveal his true identity, Xie Wuyang impatiently turned to Jiang Shutong and asked, "Where is my master now?"
"Are you crazy?!" Jiang Shutong grabbed Xie Wuyang's arm with his backhand, frowned, and his tone suddenly became fierce.
At the same time, the voice of the guarding disciple came from outside the ancestral hall, "Senior Brother Jiang, what happened?"
Jiang Shutong pursed his lips and replied coldly, "Nothing, don't come in."
"But Senior Brother Jiang, the sect rules state that you are not allowed in the ancestral hall..."
"I'm just here to gain enlightenment. Do you also want to mention these sect rules?"
The disciple guarding the door was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his confidence was obviously much weaker, "Then if Senior Brother Jiang has anything to do, you must summon us."
"I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shutong turned his palm, spiritual power burst out, and the door of the ancestral hall closed instantly.
Under the flickering candlelight, Jiang Shutong looked at Xie Wuyang with a hint of anger, but he suppressed it in an instant, "The Immortal Venerable specifically told me not to tell you where he is."
"Oh?" Xie Wuyang's eyes darkened, "Then why do you know that?"
Jiang Shutong said, "Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing. The Immortal Venerable is protecting you."
"Master Jiang's cultivation is outstanding, so he naturally doesn't need outsiders to protect him," Xie Wuyang said with a hint of thorns, "but it's Master's job to protect me. Now that he is trapped here, I naturally want to help my Master escape. Master Jiang, are you really unwilling to tell me?"
For some reason, he really didn't like Jiang Shutong from the first time he saw him, and it was even worse now that they were talking.
"I've already promised the Immortal Venerable, so I naturally have to honor my promise. No matter how large the Lianwu Sect is, it's only a few locations. The southwest dungeon is easy to find, and the disciples' quarters in the east are even easier. If you're truly determined, how can you not find them?"
Southwest dungeon, east disciple room...
Xie Wuyang stared at Jiang Shutong, carefully savoring his words for a while.
Jiang Lin certainly wouldn't dare to lock Yun Wanzhou up in the dungeon, because then the only place left would be the disciples' quarters, right?
Thinking of this, Xie Wuyang's eyes lit up, and he raised his head with a raised brow, "Since Sect Leader Jiang doesn't want to talk more, there's no need for me to stay here any longer. I'll say goodbye."
Jiang Shutong nodded, waved his sleeves, and dispersed the barrier on the door.
When the door opened, Xie Wuyang skillfully cast two layers of invisibility spells on himself, and then he swaggered out of the door under the noses of the two disciples.
…
As Jiang Shutong said, the disciple's residence is very easy to find.
Not long after Xie Wuyang walked towards the east, he suddenly saw more disciples passing by on the roadside.
The courtyard was brightly lit with candles. The houses were close to each other, and a wooden sign was hung in front of each door with the name of the disciple living in the room written on it.
Xie Wuyang walked through the corridor and his eyes quickly passed by the door.
At first, he just wanted to try to find the familiar name on a sign, but then he suddenly remembered that Yun Wanzhou was not a disciple of the Lianwu Sect, so how could his name appear here like theirs?
Furthermore, no matter what, Yun Wanzhou is still the Immortal Lord of the Sky, and Jiang Lin did not trap him here openly, so he would never dare to be so ostentatious.
So Xie Wuyang could only concentrate his spiritual power, and the moment he passed by the house, he quietly released a trace of spiritual power to explore.
The residence of the disciples of the Lianwu Sect was not big, and it didn’t take long to reach the end. There were not many inner disciples, and the rest were outer disciples living at the foot of the mountain.
It is easy for outer disciples to leave the mountain but difficult to enter. Since Jiang Lin wants to trap Yun Wanning, it is impossible for him to be placed in such a place.
Could it be that Jiang Shutong lied to him?
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Xie Wuyang's eyes.
Just as he was recounting Jiang Shutong's words in detail, footsteps were heard from the door on Xie Wuyang's right.
With a creaky sound, the tightly closed door was opened a crack.
A man suddenly appeared in the door. He was wearing a white inner garment and a wax apple disciple uniform casually draped over his body, with a tired look on his face.
Xie Wuyang's invisibility spell was still very effective for ordinary disciples. At least this disciple did not expose him on the spot like Jiang Lin did. He just yawned and walked out of the door in black boots.
If disciples go out at this time, unless they have official business, they usually go out to get up at night.
Xie Wuyang didn't take him seriously at first.
Until the disciple passed by him, he raised his hand and his sleeves, which were not tied around his wrists, fell off, and a jade pendant fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" sound.
"This jade pendant is a fairy item. I can sell it for a lot of money when I go down the mountain. I must not break it..." He muttered to himself for a long time, then bent down slowly to pick up the jade pendant.
The jade pendant was as white as snow, with a mellow color and well-proportioned patterns all over the jade body, making it look particularly noble.
Xie Wuyang had seen this thing many times before. Yun Wanzhou tied it around his waist and never took it off.
The last time Xie Wuyang saw this thing was when they sneaked into Lianwu more than a month ago. Yun Wanzhou deliberately left this jade pendant to Jiang Shutong.
Jiang Shutong...
Xie Wuyang's eyes flashed, and three words came out of his lips silently.
He and Yun Wanzhou had not been in contact for a long time. Xie Wuyang had no idea when Jiang Shutong and Yun Wanzhou met, or whether he had returned the jade pendant to him.
Did this disciple get the jade pendant from Jiang Shutong, or...
It's related to Yun Wanzhou...
Just as the disciple picked up the jade pendant and wiped it back and forth with his sleeves clenched, a spiritual light flashed in Xie Wuyang's palm.
In a flash, the disciple didn't even have time to react before Xie Wuyang suddenly appeared and grabbed his shoulder.
"Where did you get this jade pendant?" Xie Wuyang narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know where the owner of this jade pendant is now?"
Hearing the word "jade pendant", the disciple struggled to move his shoulders. Even though he used his spiritual power, he was unable to move the person behind him at all.
Although he is not the best in the Lianwu Sect, he is also a mid-level disciple in the Jindan period.
The person behind him was able to suppress him and make him unable to move with just one palm, so you can imagine how powerful he is.
Could it be that this person has reached the Nascent Soul stage like Jiang Shutong?
When did such a person appear in the world of cultivation?
The Lianwu disciple pursed his lips, the fear in his eyes difficult to conceal. He hid the jade pendant in his sleeve and said with forced composure, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you in Lianwu Sect?"
"Where is he?" Xie Wuyang's grip suddenly intensified, his tone darkening, "Take me to find him."
"This jade pendant originally belonged to me..."
A ball of black mist came out from nowhere and landed in front of him.
The moment Lianwu disciple's gaze fell, his voice paused and suddenly fell silent.
He suddenly realized that the person behind him had never revealed any trace of aura since he appeared. Even if his cultivation level was overwhelmingly higher, it was impossible for him to be so foolproof when using his spiritual power.
It was not until they saw the black fog that the lotus-mist disciples realized the answer.
He had been searching for the cultivator's spiritual energy, but ignored the subtle strangeness in his breath.
Demonic energy...
The Lianwu disciple's pupils shrank, and then his eyes widened suddenly, "Are you a demon?!"
After his identity was exposed, Xie Wuyang did not panic at all. Instead, he became more calm and composed. "Do you know the difference between the cultivation methods of the demons and the immortals?"
At this point, Xie Wuyang chuckled and leaned close to Lianwu's ear, "Demons generally survive by devouring."
"Do you think you can scare me with just two words? Don't think I don't know. Devouring is usually done by evil cultivators, not..."
Xie Wuyang's other hand passed from the lotus disciple's shoulder to his eyes and said sinisterly, "So, do you think I look like him?"
The Lianwu disciple paused and followed Xie Wuyang's movements and placed his hand on his.
I don’t know what he saw, but his expression suddenly became terrified.
Those were densely packed protruding dark purple veins that stretched from the fingertips all the way into the sleeves.
Although the disciples of the immortal sect often traveled in the world and were knowledgeable, they rarely saw evil cultivators in their lifetime, let alone one like the one in front of them, who could only see countless people devoured and experienced countless backlashes at a glance.
Even though he knew that he couldn't show any weakness in such a situation, Lianwu disciple still looked as pale as paper and broke out in cold sweat.
"You...what exactly do you want to do?"
"I have a grudge against the owner of this jade pendant and have been searching for him for years. Since you have it, I believe you have a close relationship with him." Xie Wuyang paused, his expression suddenly becoming more ferocious. "Since I can't find him, killing you is a good way to vent my anger."
As he spoke, the demonic energy that had almost dissipated suddenly returned, and murderous intent burst out in an instant.
The moment the pressure fell, Lianwu disciple closed his eyes and spoke anxiously, "I found it in the abandoned courtyard next to the disciple dormitory!"
