Chapter 524: In the Purple Mist
"The sacred object is lost?"
When Ye Shuo and Wang Longqi arrived at the inn, they brought unexpected news.
"When I returned to the inn, Shen Gongdao and the holy object I had placed disappeared." Ye Shuo said with a gloomy face, "Maybe he heard me talking to Brother Wang through the wall last night, and found the place where I placed the holy object, so he had evil intentions."
"You said... Is there such a possibility?" Wang Longqi also frowned and said, "It was the holy object that kidnapped Shen Gongdao."
"..." Ye Shuo was speechless.
"Because Young Master Shen doesn't seem like the kind of person who would steal or do bad things. He is loyal and righteous. He is willing to risk his life to save two unrelated people like us. How could he covet a treasure..." Wang Longqi said weakly.
"I only left the holy object there because I thought he was not that kind of person. Who would have thought that he, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, could do such a thing." Ye Shuo shook his head. "You can only know a person's appearance but not his heart."
Li Chu immediately said: "There is no point in talking more. When was the last time you left?"
Ye Shuo said: "Even this morning, he was injured and should not have walked very far. But the Eternal City is connected in all directions and there are many roads. I don't know which direction to follow."
"I know, he is going to seek the disciple of Bodhisattva Aurora." Wang Longqi said.
"If that's the case, then it's easy to handle." Ye Shuo said, "Then I'll go back to Wanfa Mountain in a while and see if I can wait for him to arrive."
"Let me try first..." Li Chu said, "What does that person look like?"
"He was about the same height as me, with blond hair and blue eyes, and he was carrying a very long stick..."
Li Chu closed his eyes and swept his spiritual sense across, like a giant ripple rolling in all directions.
After a moment, he actually saw this person's trace.
He was about the same height as Wang Longqi, carrying a stick on his back, had blond hair, and his eyes were closed...
That's right, he was dragged along the ground by several monsters with his eyes closed. Looking ahead, it was... a place covered by purple fog.
There are restrictions blocking the spread of spiritual consciousness.
Li Chu opened his eyes: "I think I found him, but he is unconscious now, and is being dragged by several monsters...towards a purple area that cannot be seen clearly by spiritual sense."
“Hiss…” Ye Shuo suddenly showed a difficult expression, “The area that the divine sense cannot penetrate, could it be the Purple Moon Country, 300 miles to the west?”
"Purple Moon Country?" Dulanke was also surprised when he heard the name, "Isn't that the legendary place full of demons..."
"That's right..." Ye Shuo nodded, "If the holy things were to end up there, it would be difficult to deal with. In the Western Regions, no one dares to set foot in the Purple Moon Country. It is a demon country where evil spirits run rampant and monsters gather."
"Evil spirits are rampant, monsters are gathering..." Li Chu silently recited these two sentences, and his eyes lit up noticeably.
Du Lanke looked at him and said to himself, "Master, why are you feeling so excited?"
He said hurriedly: "The Purple Moon Country is really not a casual place. It is now the lair of the strange demon sect. Even Baiyujing or Wanfa Mountain in the Western Regions have not completely eradicated this den of demons, which shows how strong they are."
"Hehe..." The old Taoist priest who was listening from behind smiled slightly, "Tong Wudi or Aurora Bodhisattva didn't take action because they were worried that the giant Kun that had been sleeping in the North Sea for many years would appear behind the little Kun King. Before that, that should be the only existence that Tong Wudi was not sure he could defeat. As for the gathering of all the monsters, what's the big deal?"
Li Chu heard the contempt in his master's voice and said, "Then we..."
"Hey, stop it. Let's not..." Yu Qian'an said, "I mean it's okay for you to go alone, but it will be difficult for us to escape if we go to the demon's lair. Rather than adding to the burden, it's better for us to wait for you here."
"Master Li, can you help us go to Ziyue Country?" Ye Shuo asked in surprise.
"It's worth a visit." Li Chu nodded and looked towards the west.
There, there was a faint purple light in the sky.
…
"Eternal King, your conditions are too extreme..."
In the hall filled with purple air, several phantoms were high above in the clouds and mist.
The person who spoke was a tall figure in a Taoist robe and cloud-like hair, standing in the fog. It was none other than Zigong Zhenren from his appearance.
"Giving you one or two cities to settle down in is already a big risk. You insist that the territory cannot be smaller than that of Purple Moon Country, which means you want to open up another Purple Moon Country. If we had the ability to do so, wouldn't we have already started it? Why would we wait until today? Are you asking us to give up Purple Moon Country to you?"
The huge shadows were talking, their voices rumbling like thunder, full of intimidation.
Opposite him was a shadowy figure in a yellow robe, vaguely it was the King Wanshi who had once been to Deyun Temple.
"Master Zigong, no matter whether it is the Purple Moon Nation or the Yiyao Sect, they are only temporary. But the elixir of immortality can make you immortal and exist for thousands of years." The answer of the Wanshi King was equally firm, "How valuable is the elixir of immortality? Haven't you realized it yet?"
Another faint voice rang out, coming from a black shadow in the center of the hall, as if it were an abyss.
"Eternal King, we know your elixir of immortality is precious. But no matter how precious it is, you have to offer a bargaining chip that is within our capabilities. The Purple Moon Nation has been in the Western Regions for many years, which is already very difficult. If we expand outward, every city and pond will be closely watched by Baiyujing and Wanfashan, including the Western Regions. They may unite to deal with us. The risk is too great."
"And your elixir of immortality is indeed priceless to humans with a short lifespan. But for us demons, it may not be... Your offer is indeed too high."
"King Kun, if you think my offer is too high, then you don't have to make this deal." King Wanshi did not give in. "The longer you live, the more afraid you are of death. I understand this very well. So what if you demons have a long lifespan? Aren't you afraid of the day that comes? Or is there another way in the world that can make you immortal?"
“It’s possible…” Immortal Zigong said, “Haven’t you ever heard of the concept of immortal fate?”
“Hahaha…” The Wanshi King laughed like thunder, “The person with the immortal destiny, do you know where that person with the immortal destiny is? Do you know who that person with the immortal destiny is?”
Zigong Zhenren said loudly: "The person with the immortal fate is Yu Qian'an, the master of Jiangnan Deyun Temple. He is in the Bulao City in the Western Region at this moment!"
"Huh?" Several ancestors of the strange demon sects around exclaimed in surprise.
"So you knew Xianyuan's whereabouts long ago?"
"Why don't you tell me..."
"Do you want to eat alone?"
“…”
Zigong Zhenren paused and said, "I'm not telling you because it's for your own good."
"Indeed." Without waiting for the other ancestors to speak, the Wanshi King nodded in agreement, "Why do you think I gave up the huge foundation of the Golden State and came to the Western Regions to live under someone else's roof? Everyone, I sincerely advise you that the water of immortal fate is too deep, you can't grasp it... Yu Qi'an's cultivation is unfathomable, even his apprentice has cultivated to the level of a god. If you can really capture the person with immortal fate, then what's the difficulty in me offering the immortality recipe for free?"
"Oh?" Hearing his words, the phantom existence that was like a dark abyss suddenly lit up with two scarlet lights.
That was King Kun opening his eyes, revealing a strong desire to fight.
"Then I'd like to give it a try..."
