Chapter 153 Walking Away
The two cultivators Luo Xuanyi observed were naturally the powerful Dong E and Yang Zongchun, who followed him. The fisherman they were questioning was none other than Yu Mi's brother, Yu Cheng.
Out of caution, Luo Xuanyi planned to observe the situation first. After all, she wasn't sure if the two monks were here to investigate. If they were, she could show up directly and let them spread the bad reputation of Chen Ranming, thus preventing her real name from being used in a curse.
As for whether Shen Ranming would be affected by the curse, that was none of her business.
However, if Yu Cheng revealed the name "Xuan Yi," she could use it to perjure Dong E and the others, making them believe that the name "Xuan Yi" was a pseudonym, as most demon cultivators protected their real names. She was only worried that Dong E and the others didn't trust her "Qu Qitao's last words," or that they had no idea about demon cultivators and their preference for pseudonyms.
In short, from the questions the two people asked Yu Cheng, we can get a glimpse of Zhengdao's views and understanding of himself.
While Luo Xuanyi secretly observed, Yang Zongchun, the more adept of the two at mundane communication, struck up a conversation with Yu Cheng, who was furling the cable. After a few casual words, Yang Zongchun finally and unintentionally got to the point.
"...So what a shame! I didn't expect to miss the bell ringing ceremony by arriving a few days late. I heard from a fellow Taoist that this bell ringing ceremony was also very lively."
Yu Cheng's interest was piqued. "Are you good friends with the immortal masters who came this year?"
"Yes, but this year they said they met a strange person who also came to the bell ringing ceremony." Yang Zongchun's eyes were fixed on Yu Cheng. "They said he was wearing black and red clothes, and he was very impressive. I really want to meet him. Have you seen him?"
Yu Cheng's hands were still unhurriedly gathering the ropes. After a moment's thought, he shook his head apologetically, "On the day Immortal Master came, I remember encountering a boat carrying new students. There were so many people that I didn't dare to look closely. I really don't remember. I'm sorry, Immortal Master."
"But, what happened?"
Yu Cheng naturally couldn't forget. Luo Xuanyi brought the two ships back, and both Yu Cheng and Yu Mi were deeply grateful to her, but they didn't have the chance to help. Yu Cheng always kept it in his mind. He also remembered that Luo Xuanyi returned that evening wearing Qu Qitao's clothes, clearly having encountered something.
Regardless of whether it was for good or evil, Yu Cheng, as a child of the underworld, would never betray his benefactor. Furthermore, the two men had been trying to get information from him in a roundabout way, and Yu Cheng had a hunch that they had a deliberately concealed murderous intent.
If they really wanted to harm Luo Xuanyi, Yu Cheng planned to find a time to go to the palace and pass the news to Luo Xuanyi, which could be regarded as repaying the favor.
"Is that so?" Yang Zongchun said regretfully. He didn't suspect Yu Cheng of lying. After all, it was his impression that mortals found it difficult to look cultivators in the eye, and he guessed Yu Cheng wouldn't have the guts to lie to them.
Unless the demon cultivator helped the fisherman in front of him, but how could that be possible? Demon cultivators are all evil.
Yu Cheng in front of him also showed no signs of being brainwashed. Yang Zongchun secretly gave Dong E a look, turned around and waved at Yang Zongchun: "It's okay, it's okay, but remember not to tell anyone that we asked about this."
"But if you see or hear Shen Ranming, you must pretend nothing happened, and then find an opportunity to report to the government office and have them contact the monks."
Dong E pulled out a scroll and gently shook it, unfolding it before Yu Cheng, revealing a portrait painted in red ink. The figure bore a striking resemblance to Luo Xuanyi, dressed in black and red, with a stone slab and a storage bag dangling from her waist. Yu Cheng frowned as he saw the three characters "Chen Ranming" written in bold, flamboyant strokes at the bottom of the portrait.
Could it be that Xuan Yi was a pseudonym for his benefactor? Yu Cheng didn't think it was likely, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded curiously and asked, "I understand. I just don't know what this strange name... Shen Ranming, has done wrong?"
"This is something within the Immortal Sect, you don't need to know about it." Yang Zongchun said solemnly, "You just need to know that this is a demon cultivator."
After confirming that Yu Cheng had finished looking at the portrait, Dong E carefully put it away and looked in the direction of Fuji Town: "Then let's go to the town and ask."
Seeing this, Luo Xuanyi felt that almost everything she wanted to know had come out. Although she was a little surprised that Yu Cheng not only didn't tell her about himself, but also tried to trick her, now was not the time to pay attention to such things.
Apparently, Dong E and the righteous forces behind them had accepted Luo Xuanyi's "true name" as "Chen Ranming." To the arrogant Immortal Alliance, a cultivator's final words naturally carried more weight than a group of mortals from Longlan City. This was a good thing. Furthermore, it seemed they were trying to avoid publicity and were still searching for him in secret.
This won't do. Luo Xuanyi must make her presence more prominent. These two cultivators could be the perfect opportunity to discover her.
Luo Xuanyi made a decision in her heart.
Just as Dong E and Yang Zongchun were about to continue walking towards Fuji Town, they were suddenly shocked!
An evil aura that was obviously different from that of a cultivator suddenly appeared on Fu Jishan!
"This aura... is from an evil cultivator? No, I have never felt the same aura before. Yes, this must be the evil cultivator from the Zang Yao Sect!" Dong E, who had wiped out the nests of evil cultivators several times, reacted more quickly than Yang Zongchun. She gently released her spiritual sense to conceal her and Yang Zongchun's auras so that Luo Xuanyi would not notice.
She felt the aura gently brush past her, and for a moment, hatred surged through her mind, and she almost rushed out to fight. But her sense of responsibility for the righteous path held her back. Soon, the aura shifted, and Luo Xuanyi didn't seem to notice them.
Luo Xuanyi chose a direction, turned into a black light, and streaked towards the sky.
"Hide your aura! Let's chase her! Don't let her have the chance to do anything more evil!" Dong E acted decisively. Yang Zongchun, reacting quickly, immediately demonstrated his fundamental skills as a Midie Sect cultivator. With a silent incantation, Dong E and his flying magical device completely concealed their auras. After confirming there were no flaws, the two of them followed Luo Xuanyi from a distance.
"She didn't notice us... She seems to be at the Jindan stage as well," Dong E observed. "Junior Brother Yang, can you mark her and track her?"
"If I get a chance to get close to her, as long as I'm no more than ten feet away, I can locate her."
Ten feet is too close. A Jindan-stage cultivator's spiritual awareness is already powerful, and ten feet is equivalent to direct combat.
Yang Zongchun naturally understood, but he had a solution: "If she stops moving for a while, I have a way to place a mark without her realizing it, but I need an opportunity to make her stop."
The two were in a state of panic, unable to think of a solution. At this moment, Luo Xuanyi, who was flying far away in the sky, seemed to have lost her way and began to slowly slow down her escape technique, and unexpectedly stopped.
Sister Yi: That’s easy, I’ll find a way.
The pseudonym used to resist the curse hh cannot be chosen casually, because if the curse is not implemented, it will be discovered that it is a pseudonym, so the magic cultivator will use the real name of the living enemy as his pseudonym~ (People who are too famous are not allowed. Anyway, the principle of the curse will be explained later.
There is also a new volume to fill in the outline. I have never written according to the outline before. Now I will try to write a detailed outline first. Will it look better? So I will update once every few days~
