Chapter 160 Clues
Fei Tutian said warily, "Are you from the Ghost Market? You've trespassed into the important territory of Dongtu Gate. Have you thought about the consequences?"
The man in black robes remained silent, only letting out a soft chuckle. He even approached him, casually saying, "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a few questions."
But Fei Tutian was naturally nervous. He had been on edge these past few days because of An Rui being targeted. Seeing the man enter Dongtu Gate without a word and remain as if taking a leisurely stroll despite Fei Tutian's verbal threats, he was like a frightened bird.
As the two sides drew closer, the taut string in Fetutian's mind snapped.
He saw an opening, summoned his natal magic weapon, and charged a few steps toward the man in black robes.
Then he turned and ran.
He concentrated almost all his spiritual power in his legs as he sprinted into the cave.
To maintain the secluded environment, each cave was separated by an array to block out the movements of other caves, so that even if someone called for help, they would not be heard.
However, there is a safety stone inside the cave, which was placed there to prevent disciples from going astray during cultivation. When this communication stone is broken, it will naturally send an alarm to the sect's discipline team.
He couldn't even see through this person's cultivation level, and he couldn't defeat him, so he had to ask for help.
Even if the man in black robes knew those things and told his fellow disciples who had rushed over, as long as there was no irrefutable evidence, his fellow disciples would not easily do anything to Fei Tutian, even if they had doubts.
It will be easier to run it then.
Although Fei Tutian is a bad guy, he is still quite smart, at least smarter than An Rui.
Su Yu sighed, "He's really impatient."
Why are you running so fast?
There's no escaping it.
As he spoke, Su Yu flicked her wrist and threw a dagger, which grazed Fei Tutian's neck, passed through his left collar, and then embedded itself hard in the stone wall outside the cave.
On the rough, rugged stone wall, there are many marks from being cleaved by knives and axes, traces left by the disciples of the Dongtu Sect through years of cultivation.
But at this moment, a dagger, exquisitely crafted yet exuding a cold and dangerous aura, was halfway embedded in the stone wall, with only the handle remaining outside still trembling and humming due to the residual force.
For a moment, Fei Tutian's mind went blank. When he came to his senses, he was about to tear off his collar and run away.
As his limbs moved erratically, his fingertips traced a triangular shape on the stone wall in front of him.
But then he heard a cold, eerie voice coming from behind him.
"If you keep moving around, it won't just be the collar that gets sewn on."
Fetutian could feel the man's cold gaze sweep over his neck, then sweep over his shoulders and arms, probably looking for the most convenient way to nail him to the wall.
He was sweating profusely and dared not move.
"Your Excellency, let's talk this out. Everything can be discussed."
"Really?" Su Yu asked slowly and deliberately, "What if I asked you to poison Dongtumen?"
"No problem, no problem at all! If you can provide the props, I'll do it right away!"
"..." Su Yu was speechless for a moment, then sighed, "This is really boring."
This person is just too thoroughly evil.
If it were just ordinary bad behavior, Su Yu would have just wanted to scare him a little. But with Fei Tutian looking like this, Su Yu didn't even have the intention to scare him anymore.
So he used illusion magic to obtain the information.
This time, however, there was a different discovery.
Two days ago, Fei Tutian received orders to collect the spirit plant Linglong Fruit and deliver it to Alchemy Room B2 at the headquarters of the Free Domain Alchemy Alliance Association. This was originally supposed to be delivered by An Rui, but An Rui encountered a problem, so the Linglong Fruit is still in Fei Tutian's hands.
This exquisite fruit was one of the prizes in the internal competition of the Dongtu Sect two years ago. Fei Tutian hadn't even used it yet after getting it, and was about to hand it over to Suiying as material for reshaping his physical body.
Two days ago, Su Yu and the Shadow Demon King must have just entered the Upper Spirit Realm. It seems that the Shadow Demon King found someone to give orders as soon as he arrived in the Upper Spirit Realm.
But this Dan Alliance...
The Pill Alliance also has some shops in the Demon Realm, but there are relatively few demons in the Demon Realm who are skilled in alchemy, so most of them are just small shops.
It is also a force that spans two realms, but its headquarters are in the spirit realm. It is an alliance of alchemists, which provides protection and benefits to alchemists. Its operation is different from that of the ghost market.
This is the dungeon Su Yao needs to complete. Her fake identity, Miss Mu, will become the honorary vice leader of the Pill Alliance. This is a main storyline that she must follow.
Su Yu quickly recalled the plot.
It's probably not time for her to become the honorary vice leader yet, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to cause trouble in the Dan Alliance.
He breathed a sigh of relief and promptly gave Feitutian a free, long-lasting illusion spell.
Then, with a hint of heartache, she pulled out the dagger, put it back in its sheath, and pinned Fei Tutian back to the stone wall.
His hand moved too fast on its own; he hadn't intended to use the dagger directly.
This dagger is a product of the system. Like a game item, it has a three-second stun effect that ignores level. It is a pair with the dagger given to A Yao, and the scabbard is the same.
In order to leave a clue for A Yao, he specially dug out the dagger that he usually kept hidden away.
My heart aches so much from the dust.
Su Yu stood there nonchalantly, pretending that the person hanging on the stone wall was no longer there. She took out a piece of silk cloth to wipe the dagger clean, then found a suitable scabbard to put the dagger away. Only then did she feel at ease putting the dagger back.
Then he stepped forward, lifted up Fei Tutian's body, took a look, and couldn't help but complain, "This triangle is really ugly."
But you should be able to tell it's a sign of a ghost market.
Su Yu quickly added an illusion to the triangle as well, ensuring that only Su Yao could see it.
He wanted to leave clues for Ayao, but he didn't expect to involve the Ghost Market in the eyes of the various forces in the spirit world.
Great, except for a slight mishap when searching An Rui earlier, which was witnessed by A Yao and the others, everything else went smoothly.
Su Yu's lips curled slightly behind her mask as she turned to leave.
Then they saw Su Yao and Lin Zhisui, who had already reached the foot of the back mountain of Dongtu Sect. The two of them had even changed into the disciple robes of Dongtu Sect.
...Forgot, Su Yao, as the protagonist, spends years in various dangerous places eavesdropping and obtaining crucial information, so infiltrating the Dongtu Sect is a bit too easy for her.
What a blunder!
Su Yu reflected for a moment, then openly and honestly took off on her sword.
He cast an illusion on himself, making himself appear as a disciple of Dongtu in the eyes of others.
However, Su Yao and Lin Zhisui are exceptions.
In their eyes, Su Yu was still wearing a black robe and mask, but from a distance, they couldn't quite see the patterns on the mask that represented the Ghost Lord.
Su Yu did it on purpose.
It's so much fun teasing my little sister.
At the foot of the mountain, Su Yao and Lin Zhisui looked up, then down again, and asked the Dongtu disciple in charge of registration, "What was that person who just flew out about?"
The registered disciple remained calm: "How would I know? He must be a senior or junior brother who just came out of seclusion."
"Here, these are the remaining vacant cave dwellings. You two should choose quickly, as the spirit stones have already been paid and are non-refundable."
Su Yao and Lin Zhisui understood; only the two of them had seen the original black-robed figure.
...Is this man in black robes so free?
The man in black had disappeared in a few breaths; it seemed impossible to catch him.
But with such blatant provocation, she wanted to see what this person had left on the mountain.
Su Yao: "Let's choose the cave near where that person just flew out, so we can share in the joy of successfully emerging from seclusion."
