Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 244 Yuding Tower, weird atmosphere!

The nephew Ji that the Three Corpses Demon mentioned was obviously Ji Canghai, the true disciple of the Yuanming Sect... and the person from the Yuanming Sect that Gu Yuan had met before, apart from the Three Corpses Demon, was only Ji Canghai.

However, I don't know how this old demon Sanshi knew about this...

Did someone tell him, or was there some other reason?

The Three Corpses Demon's eyes flickered, and after a moment's thought, he said, "I wonder if my nephew has ever said anything to you?"

Gu Yuan's expression was indifferent: "Whether I spoke or not, it seems to have nothing to do with you, and why should I tell you?"

After saying that, he was too lazy to waste any more time talking to the other party, so he raised his sword and flew away.

Although he had a grudge against the old demon, he also knew that the previous battle had consumed a lot of his cultivation and he really couldn't defeat the other party.

And even if he was in his prime, he might not be a match for this old demon, at least he would not be sure to stop him.

The Three Corpses Demon is not comparable to the likes of Aoki Zhenren.

This old demon has a very high level of cultivation. Each of the three good corpses, the evil corpse, and the corpse-controlling god and demon is probably more powerful than Master Qingmu.

When the three corpses merge into one, they become their natal god and demon, and their cultivation level is not far from the realm of Yin God.

Even though what was in front of him was just one of his clones, Gu Yuan did not dare to underestimate it.

Therefore, since we can't win now, there is no need to take action.

Seeing Gu Yuan leave so decisively, the Three Corpses Demon frowned slightly, then sneered, turned around, and disappeared.

……

After Gu Yuan returned to Qiongmingfang Market, he first returned to his residence calmly.

After spending two days recuperating from his injuries, which were not serious to begin with, and recovering his lost cultivation, he went out and headed straight for Yuding Tower.

As Gu Yuan expected, the atmosphere in Yuding Tower was obviously different at this time.

The disciples coming and going were in a hurry, not as casual as before.

Some even looked more sorrowful and anxious.

When they saw Gu Yuan, they looked surprised, but no one paid any attention to them.

However, Feng Shaojie, a follower of Situ Yan, got the news and hurried over with a slightly annoyed look on his face.

"Junior Brother Gu, why are you here?"

Seeing Gu Yuan, Feng Shaojie took him upstairs and asked curiously.

But in terms of attitude, he was obviously much more polite than before.

Gu Yuan was naturally well aware of this, because of the reputation he gained after his last battle with Lu Kun on the life and death stage.

Even Lu Kun, a true disciple of the Gu God Sect, died once at the hands of Gu Yuan. Naturally, he would not underestimate Gu Yuan. Instead, he elevated Gu Yuan's status and position in his heart.

Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he casually explained, "I've encountered some problems with alchemy recently, so I came to ask for advice from Uncle Situ."

As he spoke, he pretended to be confused, pretending to be clueless, "By the way, Senior Brother, why do I feel like something is amiss at Yuding Tower today? Did something happen?"

Hearing this, Feng Shaojie sighed deeply. His expression was gloomy but also complicated. He did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, something did happen."

He looked around and then whispered, "The day before yesterday, news came from the sect that Senior Brother Qingmu's soul lamp was extinguished."

"What? The soul lamp was extinguished?!"

Gu Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in shock: "Master Qingmu is a great cultivator who has achieved the highest level of elixir cultivation. Who could have such ability to kill him?"

The soul lamp is a special magical instrument, mostly used by disciples of large sects or families of practitioners.

Once blood essence is dripped onto the lamp, after a simple ritual, it will establish an unfathomable connection with the cultivator. If the cultivator dies, the soul fire on the soul lamp will be extinguished.

Even if one is injured and his vitality is severely damaged, the soul fire will become weaker.

Through this item, one can often see some clues about the monk.

However, this kind of thing is often difficult to refine and is quite precious, so even in Yaowang Mountain, only a few people are qualified to own it.

For example, the elders, the sect leaders, some powerful and accomplished old men, and the true disciples.

With Master Qingmu's cultivation level, he is also qualified to obtain this item.

"Alas, Master has already known about this matter and has sent people to investigate everywhere. He has also obtained some information."

"It's said that this incident is related to Master Qingmu's apprentice Ma Feng. Someone deliberately set up a trap to lure Ma Feng out of the city, and then somehow lured Master Qingmu out as well. After that, Master Qingmu's soul lamp went out."

Feng Shaojie sighed, with a hint of shock and anger on his face.

This is certainly no small matter!
Yaowang Mountain is the largest sect in Qinzhou and has a great reputation. It is well-known throughout the entire southern Xinjiang.

Who would dare to touch the tiger's whiskers on Yaowang Mountain on ordinary days?
Even if an outer disciple died, it would probably cause some waves. After a thorough investigation, the matter would definitely be resolved.

As long as it's not a major cultivation sect like the Gushen Sect or the Xinghe Sword Sect, it will definitely pay a heavy price! Now, the one who died in Yaowang Mountain is a Jindan!
A great Jindan monk!

Such people are big names no matter where they are. Even in Yaowang Mountain, there are definitely not many of them. They are the backbone of Yaowang Mountain and can be regarded as its top leaders.

Such a person has now been murdered by someone, which will obviously cause a huge stir.

How can we stop if we don't find out the reason, investigate the murderer and get to the bottom of it?

However, this matter was so big that even Feng Shaojie himself felt a little uneasy.

Masamune Aoki has offended many people. If it was just a revenge, it would be fine, but if it was for other reasons, that would be a bit bad.

If the person behind this incident is the Gushen Cult or a major sect like the Xinghe Sword Sect, it will inevitably cause a conflict.

But if this was done by the Yuanming Sect, then it would be a huge matter!
Feng Shaojie was worried, but Gu Yuan didn't say much.

He naturally noticed Feng Shaojie's worries, but since he was the culprit in this matter, he naturally didn't take Feng Shaojie's worries to heart.

As for the consequences of doing this...

When the sky falls, there is a tall person holding it up.

After all, this matter has something to do with Situ Yan, and things went quite smoothly.

Under normal circumstances, this matter would not be exposed.

The most important point is that he did not kill Aoki Masamune for no reason, but Aoki Masamune colluded with outsiders to frame him several times.

So, there is a reason for this incident.

Even if the matter is exposed, with his current reputation and the protection of Situ Yan and He Ling Zhenren, he will be fine.

So Gu Yuan was very calm.

After talking to Feng Shaojie for a few more words, Gu Yuan came to the alchemy room under the guidance of the former.

Feng Shaojie didn't stay long and quickly said goodbye and left to take care of other things.

"I've met my uncle!"

After greeting, Gu Yuan sat down in front of Situ Yan, looking quite relaxed and somewhat lazy and casual.
