System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Just as Chen Xuan was passing through the Five Elements Maze on his way down the mountain on his sword, he suddenly heard someone shouting for help.

Chen Xuan frowned and waved his hand, and the mist around the mountain path below disappeared completely.

A herb gatherer accidentally wandered into a maze.

"It's really strange. I've been collecting herbs in these mountains for thirty years, and this is the first time I've ever gotten lost!"

The formation was dispelled, the five elements were no longer confused, and the surrounding mist dissipated. The herb gatherer, filled with doubt, stopped going up the mountain and hurried down. Today was too strange.

This scene, witnessed by Chen Xuan, evoked a sense of helplessness.

Although Feixian Temple is built on Tangwu Mountain, the entire mountain does not belong to Feixian Temple.

Indeed, some villages at the foot of the mountain have relied on collecting medicinal herbs for generations, and what I am doing is indeed inappropriate.

Chen Xuan frowned in thought and disappeared into the clouds as he flew down the mountain.

"What the hell is this place? There's not even a path leading up the mountain!"

"I've been rushing around these past few days, my legs are killing me. Am I saying this is a mountain path to some Taoist temple?"

"Who cares what he does? Grandma already said that this stinking Taoist priest ruined the Ancestor's plans and he must pay the price!"

"That little brat is definitely looking for trouble. We'll see if I take care of him when we go up the mountain!"

On the trail leading up the mountain at the foot of the hill, three or five men and women were cursing and swearing. Their voices weren't loud, but you could tell they didn't have a local Tangwu accent.

"Hey, what do we do now that we've found that stinky Taoist priest?"

"What can we do? We can't kill him, so we can only teach him a lesson, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I've heard that it takes an hour to climb this mountain if there's a path, and two and a half hours if there isn't. You might as well hurry up and walk!"

Just as the five were talking, a gust of wind suddenly came down from the mountain and flew past at high speed.

Neither of them were ordinary people; in the instant their paths crossed, they both turned and saw each other.

Chen Xuan glanced at them coldly, assuming they were just curious tourists climbing the mountain, and didn't ask any questions. Instead, he quickly rode his flying sword into the clouds and disappeared.

Chen Xuan left gracefully, but the fifth person standing on the mountain road was stunned.

Flying on a sword under a clear blue sky?

"Hey, holy crap, was I seeing things?"

"Damn it, even if you're seeing things, I'm not. Is that really a person?"

"Flying to immortality on a sword? Holy crap..."

Just then, a woman wearing a yellow T-shirt vaguely felt that the person who had just flown by looked somewhat familiar.

She took out her phone, found a photo of her enemy, and gasped in shock upon seeing it.

Seeing her companion sighing with emotion and still wanting to climb the mountain, she immediately grabbed him.

"Don't go up there, let's go home!"

"what?"

"Huang Shanshan, what do you mean? I drove thousands of miles and finally got here. You want us to turn back the way we came?"

"What's wrong, Shanshan? With your great-grandmother in the Huang family, what are you afraid of?"

Huang Shanshan didn't explain anything, but took out her phone to show everyone the pictures on it.

"This is the enemy who ruined our ancestors' opportunity."

"Let me see what's going on? Does he look fierce?"

A man took Huang Shanshan's phone, glanced at it, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He stared wide-eyed at Huang Shanshan, "You mean, this person is our enemy? We're going to get revenge on him?"

Huang Shanshan nodded solemnly.

"Holy crap...is this some kind of joke?"

"What's going on? Let me see what's going on?"

Then one by one, they took Huang Shanshan's phone and looked at the photos from Chen Xuan's live stream.

Looking at the photos and comparing them with the powerful figure who had previously flown on a sword and disappeared into the clouds, one can see the difference.

Everyone held their breath, and this time, without Huang Shanshan saying anything more, the group of five slunk down the mountain.

"What the hell? What does this mean? Aren't we being sent to our deaths?"

"What should we do now?"

The group slunk back to the car, the atmosphere heavy with unease. After wasting so many days and finally arriving at their destination, they were terrified upon seeing each other.

"I think we should just go to the Taoist temple and ask one of the Taoist masters to come out of seclusion."

"Yes, when we came here, Grandma told us that this matter must be done. If we just go back like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"Alright, let's go to the Chuma Dao Sect."

"No, do you really think that senior from the shamanic path can fight against a master who can fly on a sword? Where do you get your confidence?"

……

"No matter what, we have to tell that person about this. If he's afraid to go, how can he just go back the way he came? After all, this is beyond our scope of handling."

"Damn it, why didn't I think of that? Let's go now!"

at the same time.

Chen Xuan had just landed on the top floor of a tall building when he immediately received a call from Li Jianguo.

"Master, where are you?"

Chen Xuan scanned the area and described the structures on the ground.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there to pick you up."

"Hard."

Three minutes later, Chen Xuan got into Li Jianguo's car.

After two days apart, Li Jianguo looked very unwell, as if his aura was disordered.

"Master, please keep this. This is already the fastest it can be."

Chen Xuan took the ID card handed to him by Li Jianguo, and when he looked down, he saw that it was his disciple Jiang Linglong's Longxia ID card.

"Thank you, Captain Li."

"Master, you are too kind. If it weren't for your help, my youngest daughter's life would have been ruined."

As the people chatted along the way, Chen Xuan took the opportunity to ask Li Jianguo what he had been busy with lately.

"Oh, the day before yesterday, a major incident occurred at the border river between Tangwu City and Jiangbei City. More than a dozen people died unexpectedly that night. This shocking case directly alarmed the high-level officials of Jiangnan Province. The high-level officials attached great importance to it and ordered our two places to cooperate to solve the case as soon as possible, so... sigh."

After Li Jianguo finished speaking, he added, "I'm in charge of the Bianyi River case, and the Second Brigade is in charge of the super event of the 108 natural disasters in the Shenxian Mountain Range. Oh my, if this matter hadn't been suppressed by higher-ups, it would probably have been a hot topic on the morning news long ago."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Chen Xuan smiled, "108 people died overnight, how could such a major case be suppressed?"

"Who says otherwise? I was there too. My God, the entire Shenxian Mountain Range, along with that Taoist temple, collapsed overnight. This couldn't possibly be caused by human intervention. Moreover, when the criminal investigation team went in to investigate, they found that most of the more than one hundred dead people were perfectly healthy without any wounds. They just died sitting cross-legged. Isn't that strange?"

"Divine punishment, it's definitely divine punishment!"

Chen Xuan laughed, "You government officials still believe in this?"

"No, we have witnesses, and that's what they all say."

Chen Xuan smiled but didn't reply. Then, Li Jianguo left Chen Xuan at the entrance of the jade trading market.

Before leaving, Chen Xuan gave Li Jianguo a protective amulet.

"Take this talisman with you; it might come in handy at a crucial moment."

"Thank you, Daoist Master, thank you..." Li Jianguo held Chen Xuan in high esteem. Daoist talismans were treasures that the high-ranking officials of Tangwu City dreamed of. He never expected that he could get a Daoist talisman just by helping the Daoist Master get an ID card.

What Li Jianguo didn't expect was that this very talisman would indirectly save his life tonight.
