Chapter 665: Butterfly Slave (32)
Along the way, everything Wen Wan saw could also be seen by Gu Liuyun, who was wearing the same heart bracelet with her. Her eyes were just like Gu Liuyun's eyes. If possible, she could even switch bodies with Gu Liuyun and let Gu Liuyun experience it for her. However, they were still on their way, so there was no need for that.
When we arrived at the medicine city, it was incredibly lively.
Chen Han: "Let's rest here for two days and also inquire about Chiang Rai town."
Lin Sheng: "Let's book an inn first, it's getting dark."
So the group went to the largest inn, because the large flow of people meant they could get more information.
Lin Sheng stepped forward and said, "I need three superior rooms."
"Three superior rooms? So you're a disciple of the Tianli Sect. These three superior rooms cost twelve medium-grade spirit stones a day, so I'll charge ten spirit stones a day," the innkeeper said.
Wen Wan looked at the innkeeper and realized he was quite savvy, actually wearing clan robes. This really had many advantages; at least he could save money by staying at the inn.
Many people in the inn were watching them.
Tianli Sect is the number one immortal cultivation sect in the world.
To my surprise, we found one alive.
That's really strange.
Lin Sheng took out thirty medium-grade spirit stones. "I'll reserve three days' worth first."
"Okay." Soon the boss took out three signs. "Fellow immortals, these are your room signs."
Lin Sheng took it.
Wen Wan and Lu Ping shared a room, the other three shared two rooms, Chu Yao and Lin Sheng shared a room, and Senior Brother Chen Han shared a room alone.
"Boss, bring us a table full of dishes." Wen Wan suddenly called out and started ordering. The boss was a little surprised, but didn't say anything. "Coming right away, please wait a moment, fellow cultivators."
Wen Wan pulled Lu Ping to find the most conspicuous spot to sit down.
Lu Ping sighed and smiled. She knew how obsessed her junior sister was with food.
Many people were paying attention to them, but no one came up to talk to them, after all, Tian Lizong was very aloof.
However, this situation was soon disrupted, and Wen Wan began her social journey with a pot of wine in hand.
"Brother, this is top-quality prickly pear wine. We've never been able to get our hands on this before. I heard you mention Chiang Rai Town earlier. You guessed it. We're here on orders to eliminate the demons in Chiang Rai Town. So if you know anything, please tell us everything you know."
The other party was also generous, accepting Wen Wan's wine and starting to talk.
And people around would occasionally chime in with their own comments.
Wen Wan chatted with them while eating, and Chen Han and Lu Ping only needed to write it down.
Chen Han: "I have to say, our junior sister is quite capable."
Lu Ping: "That's Junior Sister's skill. She can make everyone lower their guard. Didn't you see us? Nobody dared to come?"
Chen Han had a rugged appearance, Chu Yao had the air of a noble young master, and even Lin Sheng was an unapproachable and aloof person.
It really takes a lively and cheerful person like my junior sister to get these people to lower their guard and talk so much.
It turns out that the reason why the town of Chiang Rai attracted the demons was because of the Wood Spirit Fruit. This Wood Spirit Fruit is a top-tier fruit, and it is very attractive even to experts at the Martial God level.
What makes it most special is that it can not only enhance those in the Martial God Mirror, giving them more opportunities to enter the legendary Holy Lord Mirror, but it is also an invaluable tonic for the Demon Race, which explains why it attracted Demon Generals.
"I feel something's not right," Wen Wan said to Gu Liuyun. The two were connected in spirit, so Wen Wan was able to communicate with Gu Liuyun.
Gu Liuyun: "If it really is the Wood Spirit Immortal Fruit, then it can't just be a Demon General level demon. After all, even a Demon King would find this thing very attractive. And other sects couldn't possibly be completely unaware of it. So your mission this time seems to be quite complicated."
Wen Yan: "..."
I got scammed.
This quest hall is such a rip-off! Is this even a quest they're supposed to be able to complete?
However, we can't really blame the Mission Hall, because the news about the Wood Spirit Fruit only came out in the last few days. After all, the demons aren't stupid; how could they possibly spread news about the Wood Spirit Fruit? So, the information the Mission Hall received was simply that the demons had invaded.
"Never mind, if it gets too bad, we'll just call for reinforcements. If we can't win, we'll just run away. It's not shameful anyway."
Gu Liuyun chuckled.
The news of the Wood Spirit Immortal Fruit shocked Chen Han and his companions, who also realized that this task seemed unlikely to be easy to complete.
Lu Ping: "Why don't we pass the message on to the elders first?"
Chen Han shook his head. "Wait a minute. Have you forgotten that the gains from this training belong to the disciples and do not need to be handed over to the sect? So, are you really willing to give up the Wood Spirit Immortal Fruit?"
Others: "..."
How could I possibly give up!
Chu Yao: "Senior Brother Chen is right, and we are not without the ability to compete. This news should not have spread to other major sects yet, but it is only a matter of time. However, we have gained the upper hand, so it is possible."
Lin Sheng: "Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll ask for help."
Wen Wan ordered drinks for everyone before returning. She found that her senior brothers and sisters had already made their decisions, and she had no objections. At worst, she could just run away; it wasn't anything shameful anyway.
To avoid attracting more people who would try to steal the goods, the group quickly rested and set off for Chiang Rai town.
Wen Wan suggested in advance, "Why don't we change into some more ordinary clothes? That way, it won't be embarrassing if we fail. Besides, if others are watching us, they'll definitely want to deal with us first, their formidable rival. It would be foolish to show off now."
Chen Han thought it made sense, and no one else objected, so they went and bought a few sets of convenient clothes.
Wen Wan chatted with Gu Liuyun while picking out clothes.
"Senior Brother Liuyun, do you think this green one looks better or that light pink one?"
Gu Liuyun: "..."
"They all look good."
"So, if we absolutely have to choose one?"
Gu Liuyun looked at the two dresses through Wen Wan's eyes and then said, "The pink ones, right?"
"Senior brother has excellent taste; I also prefer pink."
Gu Liuyun: Since you already have a choice you prefer, why ask him?
After that, they went to pick out jewelry. Gu Liuyun, a straight man who knew nothing about these things, was really forced to make the choice.
On the other side, the senior brothers and sisters who had chosen their junior sister earlier watched her crazy behavior. Chen Han and the other men couldn't understand it. Wasn't this just to go on a mission? Why did she have to dress up so nicely?
Lu Ping: "You don't understand, young girls all love to look beautiful."
Chen Han: "..." They don't understand.
However, Wen Wan didn't waste much time, and soon the group arrived in Chiang Rai Town. Along the way, they encountered some disciples from small sects and some independent cultivators who knew the news.
However, no major conflict occurred, as Chen Han and Lu Ping were both very strong.
Upon arriving in Chiang Rai town, there was a protective barrier set up by cultivators dispatched by the city lord of Yao City to prevent the demons from entering other towns and causing even greater losses.
Upon seeing them, Chen Han handed them their identification tags.
The other party immediately became respectful, "So you are fellow immortals from the Tianli Sect. This time, we'll have to rely on you."
"This Chiang Rai town is so quiet, it feels like a dead town." Wen Wan looked at the silent town. The streets were lined with stalls, and every household had their doors and windows closed, although many doors and windows were open. However, she couldn't sense any signs of life.
"The villagers must have been taken away by the demons."
“This fellow immortal is right. All the villagers have been captured by the demons. That’s why we dare not lead our troops in on our own. We can only rely on you.”
Wen Yan: "..."
What kind of logic is that?
If you can't rush in, won't the demons go crazy if we do?
Chen Han: "In that case, let's go in and take a look. We'll contact you as soon as we have any news. We also need the exact location of the Wood Spirit Fruit."
The other party shook their head, "We only sensed the aura of the Wood Spirit Fruit, but we don't know its exact location. However, it's definitely in Chiang Rai Town."
Wen Wan: "Senior Brother Liuyun, I feel like this place is strange. There are many things that don't make sense. The City Lord's Mansion shouldn't lack cultivators, right? If there really is a Wood Spirit Immortal Fruit, would they tell us? Shouldn't they keep it for themselves?"
Gu Liuyun: "It is a bit strange, you guys be careful."
“I suspect there’s definitely a trap. Maybe it’s not a demon general at all, but the demon king. The city lord’s mansion tried to find one, but failed, so they had to ask us to handle it.”
Gu Liuyun: "Be careful, if things get too difficult, seek help from the elders."
Wen Wan: "Senior brother is so worried about me! Don't worry, I value my life and will never take any risks. Isn't that what you're here for? If I really can't beat them, I'll let you take my place. You'll definitely be able to handle it then."
Gu Liuyun: "..."
He really couldn't accept entering Wen Wan's body for the time being, after all, men and women are different.
Wen Wan and her group entered Chiang Rai Town, which was filled with demonic energy and was completely deserted.
Chen Han took out a compass. "This can detect the place where the demonic energy is most concentrated. That should be where the demon general is."
Wen Wan: "Are we just going to storm in? Is that so drastic? Don't we have a plan? The demons aren't stupid, are they?"
Chen Han: "So, junior sister, what are your thoughts?"
Wen Wan: "You guys are really skilled and daring, so reckless? Never mind, I'll have to rely on you."
Wen Wan began rummaging through her storage bag. After all, she came from the Abyss of Evil, and when it came to understanding demons, Chen Han and the others really didn't know as much as she did.
Wen Wan took out a porcelain bottle and poured out five pills.
"Your aura and spiritual power are like a cat standing out among a bunch of tigers. Isn't that conspicuous? This is a pill that can conceal your presence."
Chen Han: "Where did you get this junior sister from?"
"It was given by Elder Qian. After all, he is now very accommodating to my every request. I had already made ample preparations before coming here."
Chen Han and the others were stunned. In their eyes, their junior sister, who was the most unreliable, was actually so reliable at the crucial moment.
Wen Wan laughed, "Just kidding, you can't complete the mission without me. Also, there's an invisibility pill here that can make you invisible for an hour. Even the Demon King won't be able to detect you. I'll go check the situation first. You guys wait for me here."
Lu Ping: "Why don't we go instead?"
Wen Wan: "I'll go. I brought a lot of treasures with me, so everything will be fine."
Wen Wan took the invisibility pill, then took Chen Han's compass and headed towards the place where the demonic energy was most concentrated. Gu Liuyun didn't expect Wen Wan to do this. "Aren't you afraid?" After all, this junior sister was the most timid and afraid of death. She couldn't endure hardship, didn't take cultivation seriously, and often cheated.
