On the ground, Su Yun saw some dried bloodstains.

His expression was cold; this blood must have come from those innocent children!

After searching around, I found nothing useful.

"How cunning! Instead of waiting here, they waited until the child was captured here to make sure there was no risk of exposure before coming here to cultivate?"

Su Yun guessed that this was probably the case.

Judging from this, the other party is a cunning old fox, and he is very careful about his identity, leaving no trace, for fear of being exposed!

“I didn’t think so before, but now it seems I need to find an opportunity to talk to the abbot of Dayan Temple and see if he can investigate within the temple.”

If these people who practice evil arts are not eliminated soon, more innocent children will suffer their cruelty!

After leaving the cave, he set up a few small tricks outside.

This is a restriction he learned previously.

It simply won't intercept others, nor will it let others discover it; it will only sense when someone comes here.

"We'll know when they make their next move."

After completing the necessary procedures, Su Yun left the place.

Riding the white horse, we returned to the ancient city of Mingyuan.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped just as they arrived at the outskirts of Mingyuan Ancient City, before they could even enter the city.

Ahead, there were several people there, and they all walked over after seeing him.

Su Yun glanced at them; there were three people in total, all at the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm.

Moreover, they were all wearing Xuanhong Sect attire!

The three of them walked up.

The man in the lead, around thirty years old, smiled and said to Su Yun, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

Upon seeing this, Su Yun stopped the white horse, sat on its back, and looked down at the three people, asking, "What do you want?"

"It is like this, I am Cheng Dun, a deacon of the Xuanhong Sect branch. I am waiting for you here because I am acting on the orders of the sect's alchemist Heiyan, who wants us to invite you over to discuss some matters."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Su would do me the honor of joining us?"

Cheng Dun had a smile on his face and looked quite kind.

Su Yun frowned upon hearing this and said, "No need. Go back and tell Hei Yan that I'm not selling the item. Let him give up on that idea as soon as possible."

After these words were spoken, Cheng Dun paused slightly.

The two younger disciples behind him looked somewhat hostile, but they did not retaliate yet.

Cheng Dun continued, "Fellow Daoist Su, Alchemist Hei Yan said that if you are willing, he can provide an additional 50,000 spirit stones on top of the previous conditions."

"Would you like to consider this?"

Cheng Dun was very polite because he knew that Su Yun's identity seemed extraordinary, and he appeared to be a mid-level alchemist as well.

As a branch steward, he is very careful in his dealings with people and never easily offends others.

Su Yun raised an eyebrow.

This person isn't completely brain-dead; they even know there's a price to pay?

However, tens of thousands of spirit stones were still pitifully few and far between, not enough to buy the White Jade Bodhi Root.

Moreover, he never intended to sell!

He said calmly, "I've made myself very clear, I'm not selling."

"Can you move aside now?"

Seeing Su Yun's resolute attitude, Cheng Dun knew that continuing the conversation would be inappropriate.

Just as he was about to respond, he heard his fellow disciple from behind shout, "Hey, you surnamed Su! Who do you think you are?"

"The three of us have been waiting for you here for ages, and you still won't give us any face, you won't even dismount your horse!"

"Who do you think you are? Master Hei Yan is only asking you out because you're doing me a favor!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Dun's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Sun, don't say anything more."

This junior brother came from within the sect. He was already at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm in his early twenties. He was used to being arrogant, so naturally he was somewhat unconvinced.

Su Yun glanced at him and said, "What, did I tell you to wait for me here?"

Sun Yan snorted coldly and said, "You have to go today, whether you like it or not, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
