Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 152 Tracking
Li Yangwei can also deal with the fake Dan Zhenren.

After all, they are directly under the command of Li Yang Zhenren and are responsible for the public security of Li Yang Fairy City. Although Gu Zongyuan is the commander, he is not the strongest among the Li Yang Guards.

In the Liyang Guard, besides Xiao Changqing, there are two genuine captains at the Fake Dan Zhenren level!

However, these two fake Dan Zhenren are usually free to move around without restrictions, just like Xiao Changqing, and will only participate in emergencies.

of course.

Although Gu Zongyuan had only completed his cultivation at the foundation building stage, his strength was not much worse than that of an ordinary fake dan true person.

With the cooperation of the Li Yang Guard team and the use of formations, Gu Zongyuan can even suppress most of the fake Dan Zhenren!
However, this time they are trying to kill the cultivator who is most likely at the fake pill level. It is not enough to rely solely on Gu Zongyuan and ordinary Li Yang guards. They have to mobilize the real fake pill level combat power.

Originally, if Xiao Changqing had not come today, Gu Zongyuan was planning to ask one of the other two fake Dan captains to join him in the fight.

But when Xiao Changqing came, he changed his mind temporarily.

First of all, there is basically no danger in this matter. On the contrary, if the arrest is successful, it will definitely make a lot of money. This kind of long-term thief, who has committed countless crimes, has killed countless cultivators. Naturally, the wealth accumulated by this person is also a very astonishing figure.

Therefore, for the Li Yang Guards, hunting down robbers of this level is not entirely a hard job, and there is a high possibility of rich rewards.

Secondly, the two captains of the Liyang Guard who were in the Fake Dan Realm were both old men who were nearly 300 years old and had a lot of experience. Gu Zongyuan respected them, but he was more happy and relaxed when getting along with Xiao Changqing.

He would rather go out on a mission with Xiao Changqing.

There is an additional reason, which is that although Xiao Changqing joined Liyang Guard on a temporary basis, Gu Zongyuan did not intend to let him work wholeheartedly and devote himself to the cause.

But you still have to show your skills and do something.

By the way, this time he wanted to truly test how strong Xiao Changqing was.

The last time I fought with Song Changning, Song Changning was too weak to take the beating and was almost killed instantly. It was impossible to tell his strength at all.

If I can participate in the encirclement and suppression of fake Dan Jie cultivators this time, perhaps I can see it.

"How about it, Brother Bai, are you interested?" Gu Zongyuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

Xiao Changqing asked: "What is the name of this robbery cultivator?"

"Uh..." Gu Zongyuan pondered for a moment. Liyangwei has rules. If you are not involved in the mission, you cannot disclose intelligence information to other people, even those from Liyangwei.

However, Xiao Changqing's identity was different, so Gu Zongyuan still handed Xiao Changqing a jade slip, which included the identity of the evil cultivator and some clue information.

"Puppet Evil Monarch, I have heard of it..."

Xiao Changqing looked at the information in the jade slip and nodded.

This person is indeed considered an extremely vicious cultivator in the entire Dayu cultivation world. He is much more famous than the 'Five Evils of Yunwu' who were eliminated by Xiao Changqing in the Yunwu Mountains.

The reason why he is called the Evil Puppet King is because he is very likely a second-level top-grade puppeteer. According to incomplete statistics, he has had up to eleven second-level top-grade puppets on his body at the same time!
A second-grade top-quality puppet is equivalent to a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage in terms of combat power.

Although puppets are not as flexible and versatile as monks, they also have advantages, that is, they are fearless and can be used as "Deadpool"!
The Puppet Evil King once brutally raped and killed the beloved disciple of a Jindan early stage real person. The Jindan real person was so furious that he went to great lengths to track him down and hunt him down.

In the end, the Puppet Evil King used these eleven second-grade top-quality puppets to continuously launch suicidal attacks to cover his retreat and buy him a chance to escape.

The clues about the Puppet Evil King were found this time, but it was not actually Li Yangwei’s credit.

Instead, this person committed evil deeds around Liyang Fairy City and launched a sneak attack on the Liu family, one of the top ten families in Liyang Fairy City.

Among the top ten families in Liyang Fairy City, the Liu family is also among the top, not much worse than the Song family.

Although the Liu family does not have a real person at the Jindan or Jiadan level, their family is very good at taming beasts, and there are more than a dozen second-level spirit beasts in the family.

Of course, the Liu family has backers behind them.

His backer was none other than Gu Zongyuan.

This time, the Puppet Evil King launched a sneak attack on a team of Liu family, killing people and stealing treasures, but he was also invisibly locked by the Liu family's tracking methods.

"I can join."

Xiao Changqing agreed.

Now that you have joined the Liyang Guard, you should occasionally carry out missions.

Judging from the years and times this Puppet Evil King committed crimes, he must have accumulated more treasures than the Five Evils of Cloud and Mist. After Xiao Changqing bought the Jiaolong Essence Pill at the auction, he didn't have many spirit stones left, so it was time to replenish them.

And he is also quite interested in puppets.

With his inventory at his disposal, if he could successfully encircle and destroy the Puppet Evil King, he would most likely obtain his inheritance...

"Very good! Puppet masters like Puppet Evil King are most afraid of powerful soul masters like you, Brother Bai!" Gu Zongyuan's eyes lit up and he said happily: "To drive puppets, you need to use your soul to control them. Even if Puppet Evil King is really a fake Dan cultivator, your soul secret method only needs to interfere with him, so that his puppet army formation cannot form an effective attack, and it will be much easier to kill him."

……

It is not too late.

After confirming that Xiao Changqing had joined the team to encircle and suppress the Puppet Evil King, Gu Zongyuan immediately notified the Liu family and prepared for action.

The Liu family’s tracking methods are not complicated.

Their family has a spiritual beast that is extremely good at tracking and can produce a special liquid.

Once contaminated with this liquid, the spirit beast can track its location even if it is hundreds or thousands of miles away.

In order to prevent accidents outside, the core disciples of the Liu family carry this special liquid on their bodies. If they encounter danger, they will find a way to let the murderer be contaminated with the liquid quietly.

In this way, it would be much easier for the Liu family to avenge their disciple.

This liquid is colorless and odorless, and even a Jindan Zhenren would find it difficult to detect any clues.

The same is true for the Puppet Evil King.

After robbing and killing a group of people from the Liu family, he might have thought that he had done it without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that he had been targeted by the Liu family.

Under the leadership of Gu Zongyuan, in addition to Xiao Changqing, the Liyang Guards also dispatched eighteen cultivators in the late foundation building stage.

With the cooperation of these eighteen Li Yang guards forming a battle formation, his strength will increase dramatically, and his magic power will be even stronger than that of the average fake Dan Zhenren, which can make up for the lack of magic power of the foundation-building cultivator.

Coupled with his own trump card, he has the power to kill most of the fake Dan Zhenren.

Liu Ke, the head of the Liu family, naturally followed suit.

Tracking down the Puppet Evil King would be impossible without the Liu family's spiritual beast.

Moreover, the reason why the Li Yang Guards were hunting down the Puppet Evil King this time was to avenge their Liu family disciples; plus, the Liu family has always been tied to Gu Zongyuan, and the Liu family's many businesses have been able to flourish in the Li Yang Fairy City in recent years and rank among the top five of the ten major families, all thanks to Gu Zongyuan's support.

Since Gu Zongyuan has already gone out today, it would be unreasonable for the head of the Liu family not to show up in person.

A group of twenty-one people set out quietly from Liyang Fairy City, boarded a flying boat, and, under the guidance of a spirit beast, sped towards the north.

What the few people didn't know was that when they left Liyangxian City, someone had been watching them from afar in secret.

After they left, he quickly went to report the news. A moment later, a monk in a black cloak also left Liyang Immortal City.

The direction of departure was exactly the direction in which Gu Zongyuan, Xiao Changqing, Liu Ke and his group were tracking the Puppet Evil King!

……

……

In the speeding flying boat, everyone was closing their eyes to rest, trying to adjust their condition to the best to prepare for the next battle.

After all, what they are facing this time is the Puppet Evil King, who is notorious in the immortal world of Dayu and is able to escape from the hands of a Jindan Zhenren.

Only Xiao Changqing suddenly took out the tortoise shell and started to tell fortunes.

"Brother Bai, are you also proficient in the art of divination?" Gu Zongyuan asked in surprise.

Fortune tellers are definitely a rare existence in the world of immortal cultivation in Dayu.

In a prosperous city of immortal cultivation like Liyang Immortal City, there are countless alchemists, talisman masters, and weapon refiners, and there are even third-level masters.

But there is not even one fortune teller who has reached the second level!

If he is just a first-level fortune teller, he will be of no use to the foundation-building cultivators, especially those in the middle and late stages of foundation-building.

The difference is too great, a first-level fortune teller cannot accurately predict the fortune of a cultivator in the middle or late stages of foundation building.

"I can't say I'm proficient in it, I just know the basics."

His attainments in divination are currently only at the upper level of the first grade.

Because fortune tellers are too rare, the tools and treasures used for fortune telling are also rare. So even though Xiao Changqing has always wanted to improve his fortune telling skills, he has no chance.

However, he was now fortune-telling for himself, not for others.

Therefore, even if he only had the first-class upper-grade attainment in divination, he could still vaguely deduce some things.

It's not very accurate, but it's a general direction.

Soon, Xiao Changqing made several divinations in a row, but the results made him frown.

Seeing this, Gu Zongyuan also looked a little nervous and asked, "Brother Bai, is the hexagram a bad omen? An ominous omen?"

"It can't be said to be a bad omen. It's just a little confusing and full of variables. Judging from the hexagram, I'm afraid our encirclement and suppression of the Puppet Evil King will not be very smooth, and there will be many twists and turns." Xiao Changqing said.

"There will be twists and turns? That means this Puppet Evil King is even more powerful than we imagined, right..." Gu Zongyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not a bad omen.

As for the twists and turns, they were reasonable in his opinion.

After all, the Puppet Evil King is a notorious robber in the world of immortal cultivation in Dayu. He has committed so many murders, but he is still able to get away with it. His means of preserving his life must be extraordinary.

On the surface, he only has the strength of the great perfection of foundation building, and with his puppet army formation, he is enough to deal with the fake elixir cultivators.

Gu Zongyuan guessed that this person might have formed a golden elixir once, but just failed to successfully condense the golden elixir and became a fake elixir true person.

But no one knows what the actual situation is and whether he has any trump cards other than the puppet army.

But as long as it is not an ominous omen, it is not that bad.

At best... you will return empty-handed.

Xiao Changqing put away the tortoise shell, but was a little doubtful and was considering whether to persuade Gu Zongyuan to give up this action.

In his opinion, although it was not a very bad omen, there would be twists and turns and unexpected events, which he just could not accept.

He doesn't like surprises, he only likes absolute certainty!

Even if there was only a one percent risk, he didn't want to try it.

He is a man with a golden finger, he just needs to be steady and develop himself, why bother taking risks and fighting for his life?

And there is another very important factor. He naturally makes divinations based on his strongest strength, not as Gu Zongyuan believed, that only his spirit is strong enough to be comparable to that of a fake Dan Zhenren.

With his current normal strength, without using any forbidden techniques, he is already enough to sweep away most of the real people in the middle stage of Jindan!
If there are still twists and turns, it means that the Puppet Evil King is not simple, at least much stronger than the Fake Dan Zhenren!
Otherwise, even if they had refined their own magic weapon, Xiao Changqing would be able to deal with the best fake elixir masters like Liang Yuehua and Zhou Songbai without any unexpected twists and turns.

Or...

This evil puppet king has accomplices behind him.

Xiao Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering, hesitating and thinking.

He had not thought of fortune-telling at first, but the moment he left Liyang Fairy City, he suddenly felt something moved in his heart.

This feeling is like a highly alert wild animal being able to sense the hunter's trap.

Xiao Changqing's powerful spiritual sense vaguely felt that someone seemed to be spying on them in secret.

But when he carefully sensed and looked around, he did not find any follower.

In order to ease his inner anxiety, he took out the long-sealed tortoise shell in the flying boat and tried to tell fortunes.

The results were indeed not very good.

"It is unlikely that the Puppet Evil King has a cultivation level above the middle stage of the Golden Core."

"Not only for cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan, there are many legitimate ways to make money. There is no need to commit the crime of being an evil cultivator. Moreover, with the cruel style of the Puppet Evil King, if he had the strength of a middle stage of Jindan and really wanted to make spirit stones, he could have done a few big ones instead of specifically robbing and killing cultivators in the foundation building stage. He could have targeted fake Dan Zhenren or even Jindan Zhenren."

"Even more than ten years ago, he would not have been chased and killed by cultivators in the early stage of Jindan and had to flee in a panic."

"If my perception when I left Liyang Fairy City was not an illusion..."

"Then... the greater possibility is that there is someone behind the Puppet Evil King! This person is even more powerful than the Puppet Evil King..."

"In fact... this time the Puppet Evil King attacked and killed the children of the Liu family deliberately! As for the purpose..."

Xiao Changqing glanced back and forth between Gu Zongyuan and Liu family head Liu Ke.

"If it is really as I guessed, then this person's purpose is either the Liu family or Gu Zongyuan?"

Subsequently.

Xiao Changqing thought about himself again.

If there was a conspiracy, it probably wasn't directed at him.

After all, his joining in this encirclement and suppression operation was completely accidental and a spur-of-the-moment decision.

So even if there is a conspiracy, it should not involve him.
