Chapter 139 Cheng Wu, what a mess you've made!
Chapter 139 Cheng Wu, what a mess you've made!
Fairy Shecai lived in the Immortal City for quite some time; in fact, it could be said that she contributed to the establishment of the Seven True Immortal City.
Now that I've returned, I know the inner and outer city like the back of my hand.
Using her method of finding people, she made her way to the outer gate of the inner city.
"His aura stopped here. Did this Golden Wutong Venerable really enter the inner city?"
The Fairy of Luxurious Colors paused, her brow furrowed in worry for a long time.
Things didn't seem to be as simple as she thought.
Is Master Jinwu really Luqiu...? If so, how dare he brazenly go right under the noses of the Seven Immortals?
If not, this person is skilled in paper folding, happens to be one of the people involved in the Seven Immortals' siege of the Hidden Dragon Lice swarm that day, and happened to return alive, and stayed in the Snake Sea where Luqiu last disappeared.
There is a conspiracy!
The more he thought about it, the more his head ached. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a sharp mind would have a headache.
The Fairy of Luxurious Colors covered her head, her hair ornaments swaying and jingling.
Since she began practicing the Extinction of Ignorance and Body Seizure Technique, she has frequently felt dizzy and lightheaded, and this state becomes more and more frequent the more she seizes a new body.
"What's wrong with staying here?"
Before long, Fairy Luxurious Colors released her grip and made a decision.
As long as she doesn't show herself, Luqiu won't be able to find her. It should be the other person who's panicking; being targeted by a Foundation Establishment cultivator is no pleasant experience.
This is what the higher authorities should be doing.
The lifeline of a Qi Refining cultivator lies in Foundation Establishment. She wanted to see if Luqiu would dare to go and collect the Heavenly Star Grass alone this time.
"Senior Brother Chengwu, we've now left the inner city. May I ask why you summoned me?"
Outside the inner city area.
Master Jinwu and Chengwu came out at the same time and talked along the way.
This scene was unexpected, and Fairy Shecai, who had been hiding in the shadows and anxiously looking over, immediately turned her gaze towards them.
Cheng Wu looked around for a while, then took Jin Wu Shangren's hand and said, "Junior brother, although you are a disciple of Master Bao Cheng, you should know my suffering."
As the two argued, one tried to appease the other, while the other hesitated, before heading towards a spirit restaurant in the outer city.
Only after the Seven True Sources were established did the cultivators of Xiaoxin Island realize that the demon beast Sea Owl had a piece of tender flesh on its lower jaw, which was the place where it made its cries. It was extremely smooth and tender, and after being processed by the spirit chef, it was filled with spiritual energy, which was very beneficial to cultivation.
Chengwu spent a considerable sum to prepare a grand memorial banquet, inviting Venerable Jinwu to speak.
When the wine was flowing freely...
Cheng Wu closed the doors and windows, his face ingratiating, and said, "Junior brother, you don't know, last year many of Uncle Baocheng's disciples died or were injured, all because of that She Cai's mistake, it had nothing to do with me. Besides, I later found out She Cai's identity, which can be considered as avenging you. Now that you are useful to Uncle Baocheng, why don't you help me make peace... At that time, I will repay you with treasures!"
The Venerable Jinwu was a heavy drinker, and he had another pot of spiritual wine at his lips when he heard this, so he was startled that he quickly put down his cup.
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
Master Jinwu rose from his seat and said, "I have troubled you today. Please do not see me off. I will inform my master when I return."
However, no peace talks should be made.
It turns out that many disciples under the Seven True Ones knew that Cheng Wu was in trouble. He was only concerned with pleasing his own sect and offended Master Baocheng, who then threatened to punish him.
Master Jinwu has a bright future ahead of him, so why would he want to get involved with Chengwu?
A fine banquet ended in discord.
Master Jinwu left the private room and went straight away.
Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of Xianxia novels.
Judging from their direction, they were heading straight for the inner city.
Downstairs in the private room, a pair of slightly cold eyes watched Jin Wu Shangren walk away. After hesitating for a moment, they gave up the pursuit and instead turned their gaze back to Cheng Wu inside the private room.
"So it was him!"
Fairy Luxurious Colors remained expressionless, but inwardly she was so angry she wanted to curse him out on the spot.
The one who reported Xiang Qizhen's true identity turned out to be such an insignificant Cheng Wu.
Yes, after 'Luqiu' faked her death, she won't personally show up to report it; she'll only use others to inform Qizhen that she's still alive.
Being a disciple of the Seven Immortals made it most convenient for him to act as a messenger. Furthermore, the fact that Luqiu knew the location of the Hidden Dragon Lice's nest and was able to seize the treasure ahead of time further indicated that the person had a deep relationship with the Seven Immortals.
In other words, Cheng Wu, who is currently in the upper private room, must have clues about Lu Qiu's true identity around him!
Thinking of this, Fairy Shecai, a dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, suppressed her anger and refrained from immediately confronting the enemy to avoid alerting them.
Just then, Cheng Wu, having finished tidying up inside the private room, came downstairs cursing and swearing, and stepped out the door, attracting the attention of the diners inside.
The Fairy of Luxurious Colors once again suppressed the urge to use her divine sense to track her, and instead got up and hid behind her, waiting for an opportunity.
the other side.
In the inner city area, the Golden Wu Master went directly to the cave of the Treasure City True Man, bowed and kowtowed, and told him about the appointment he had made with Cheng Wu that day, clearing himself of any involvement and admitting his guilt.
After a moment of silence inside the cave, Master Baocheng's voice rang out.
"understood."
Master Jinwu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when he heard Master Baocheng scolding him: "When I accepted you into the sect, I heard that you had a habit of being fond of drinking, and you still haven't changed it. You won't even know when you fell into a trap. Remember, you secretly practiced the Blood God Sect's methods, which damaged your vital energy. If you don't cultivate diligently, you should switch to cultivating the fundamental methods of my sect as soon as possible. In the end, you will be nothing more than a hundred-year-old skeleton."
"Master is right, disciple will remember this, and will definitely begin to abstain from alcohol from now on!" Venerable Jinwu hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Okay, go ahead, but don't get involved in other things. Focus on your work and spiritual practice."
After sending Master Jinwu away...
Inside the cave, Master Baocheng nodded slightly.
This newly accepted disciple is quite useful; he's cautious, obedient, and suits his needs perfectly. Most of his original disciples have died, so he's having to pick the best among the remaining ones—finding a satisfactory disciple is already a rare treat.
"...Junior Brother Baocheng, what do you think?"
The voices came clearly, as if they were right beside me.
Master Baocheng came to his senses. Six light screens floated around him, projecting images of the other six members of the Seven True Ones, plus himself. Today, the Seven True Ones had all gathered.
From within the light screen, a slightly aged voice spoke up: "Today, Cheng Wu voluntarily went out to the outer city, searching for his disciples to plead for him, even looking for Junior Brother Bao Cheng's disciples. And he hasn't returned yet, just wandering around the outer city, lingering there without coming back."
Upon hearing those words, a mocking smile flashed across Master Baocheng's face.
If he really wanted to kill Cheng Wu, would he still be alive now?
It was just an idea that the Seven Immortals discussed together. After losing track of Fairy Shecai, they used the most suspicious Chengwu as bait to see if they could catch her somewhere.
Even Chengwu's master, Master Baozhang, agreed to this. What's the harm in giving up a mere disciple?
"I thought this person had been well-behaved for a year, but today he's acting completely out of character, quite flamboyantly. Maybe he's taken the bait!"
Master Baocheng looked around and laughed loudly.
