Fan Chichi, who was bragging with other sect leaders, felt a pang of anxiety when he heard Elder Huang's words. He covered his head with a headache and asked, "What happened again?"
Elder Huang wiped his sweat and said, "Xie Qingzhu escaped from the dungeon."
Although the leaders of the five sects withdrew in the second half of the sect competition, someone would naturally use the photo stone to record everything Xie Qingzhu did and tell them everything.
They were planning to discuss how to deal with her after they returned, but they didn't expect that Xie Qingzhu had escaped before they returned.
Wu Changwei, the leader of the Shenyi Sect, faced the inquiring gazes of the crowd and broke out in a cold sweat. "Everyone, allow me to send someone to use the soul lamp to find the whereabouts of that evildoer."
Xiao Wu listened to their words, strode forward, and bowed, "Master, fellow sect leaders, after Xie Qingzhu was exposed, I cast a tracking spell on her. She is now heading southwest of Yuankong City."
"I think we can first send people to the southwest to search. Once Sect Leader Wu figures out Xie Qingzhu's exact location, it will be easier to capture him then, right?"
Wu Changwei nodded, "Okay! I'll do as you say. Xiaowu, you are such a thoughtful and kind child."
He turned his head and instructed two of the elders who had accompanied him, "Old Xu, Old Ma, take a few of my disciples and a group of inner disciples and head southwest to search for the whereabouts of that evil creature."
Although Xie Qingzhu was Wu Changwei's direct disciple, she had colluded with the ghost clan, which was a serious crime. Naturally, the people from other sects would not stand idly by. They all sent an elder and a team of inner disciples to assist.
Even the leader of the Chanxin Sect, Ji Wu, sent Fu Feng to lead several fellow disciples to assist them. After all, they, the Buddhists, were the best at dealing with ghosts.
Fu Feng obeyed the order obediently, his thin lips slightly raised.
Before leaving, Ji Wu glanced at Xiao Wu twice more, then suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. Looking at the child's face, it was indeed the face of someone whose parents had died young. However, a closer look at her facial features revealed that her parents hadn't completely passed away. How strange...
"Amitabha, child, may I ask how your father is doing?"
Xiao Wu didn't expect him to suddenly ask about his parents' situation, so he quickly bowed and said, "Master, my parents are in good health and nothing serious is wrong with them. May I ask, Master, is there anything wrong with my parents at home?"
When Shou Lian Hou sent them spirit stones not long ago, he also sent her a message saying that they were in good health, could eat, run, and catch pigs that jumped ship.
After hearing her words, Ji Wu calculated a few more times, muttered something, shook his head, stared at his hands, and said in confusion: "Strange, strange, your parents are fine, so why does your face show a sign of their early death?"
Xiao Wu opened his mouth, a chill suddenly rising in his heart. Could it be that the original body's parents were actually spirits in disguise? No way, no way?
The onlookers who were about to leave slowed down their pace and listened carefully.
"Amitabha, could you please hold out your palms so I can read your fortune again?"
Xiao Wu spread out his palm for him to see. After Ji Wu finished reading it, he shook his head and sighed with a heavy face. Just when everyone thought he had figured out something terrible, he suddenly muttered, "Alas, such a good Buddhist cultivator, and he was taken away by that old bastard."
Fan Chichi, who was standing aside, almost stepped forward to hit someone. It was another old scoundrel who wanted to steal his precious disciple!
Ji Wu seemed to have just discovered Fan Chi Chi. He narrowed his eyes, smiled and said hello, then looked at Xiao Wu with clear and bright eyes and bowed, "Son, if you have time, you'd better go back and ask your parents."
"Thank you, Master Jiwu." Xiao Wu felt heavy in his heart and also performed a Buddhist salute.
It seems that she needs to go home early to pick up her parents, and then find a way to get them to talk after settling them down.
Thinking of his home, Xiao Wu was suddenly shocked. It turned out that the original owner's home was also in the southwest of Yuankong City!
Was Xie Qingzhu doing this intentionally or unintentionally? She couldn't guarantee it. Since she had taken over the original owner's body, she naturally had to protect Xiao's father and mother and let them enjoy their old age.
"Brother and sister, my home is also in the southwest of Yuankong City. I must go home now."
Li Fengyao looked at her solemn face, and thinking about the relationship between the junior sister and Xie Qingzhu, it was clear to him, "Well, senior brother will accompany you."
Jiang Yuqing and the others also came over, "Junior sister, let's go too. One more person means more protection."
Fu Feng came over with a bag on his back. When he heard that they were also heading to the southwest of Yuankong City, he narrowed his eyes, said goodbye to Ji Wu first, and then came up to Xiao Wu and the others.
"Amitabha, since all of you donors are also heading southwest, how about taking the spirit ship together? You can also provide us with the specific location of the person who is colluding with the ghost clan."
Chen Yan retreated with his fellow apprentices and gave Xiao Wu a cold look, "Are you going or not? The spirit ship is about to leave."
The spirit ship belongs to the Divine Will Sect. Since Chen Yan has invited them, Li Fengyao and the others naturally would not refuse. After all, the speed of the spirit ship is much faster than flying with a sword.
After saying goodbye to Fan Chichi and several elders, Li Fengyao, along with his fellow junior brothers and sisters and a team of inner disciples, followed Elder Huang onto the spirit ship.
That’s right, it’s Elder Huang, the lovely old man, who is leading the team again.
After everyone was on board, the spirit ship started and headed non-stop towards the southwest of Yuankong City.
The spirit ship sailed for several hours and gradually approached the territory of Shenyi Sect. Xiao Wu's parents' home was at the southernmost end of Shenyi Sect's territory. She carefully felt the pull of the tracking technique, and Xie Qingzhu's whereabouts indeed appeared in the territory of Shenyi Sect.
Seeing her open her eyes, Chen Yan asked anxiously, "How is it? Can you sense Xie Qingzhu's trace?"
Xiao Wu's eyes were cold. "Yes, and she also went to the south. It seems that she is going to my house."
She originally wanted to confirm it carefully, but she didn't expect that the tracking technique was broken. She probably was discovered by Xie Qingzhu's ghost master.
"She was discovered. She erased the tracking spell I cast on her."
After listening to this, Chen Yan frowned and turned to discuss the next itinerary with the elders.
The tracking was broken, and everyone lost their target. After much discussion, they finally decided to divide all the people into three groups.
Some people searched around the place where Xie Qingzhu was last seen, some people searched around the place where Xie Qingzhu might be, and the last group followed Xiao Wu back home.
When the first and second waves of people got off the spirit ship, Xiao Wu gave them a few flares. After they found Xie Qingzhu's trace, they directly released flares to summon people for support.
Fu Feng looked at the flare in her hand and remembered the firework he saw that night. His eyes flickered a few times. So this was the flare?
The spirit ship continued to sail for another half a minute, and a small village full of greenery and original ecology appeared in everyone's sight.
