Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

After the Shenlong Dharma Assembly ended, most of the villagers in the town had dispersed and returned to their homes.

The three young people who had previously received special attention from Shuangwei did not leave immediately, but instead went into a teahouse in town.

As soon as they sat down, Li Murui, the only woman among the three, angrily cursed:

"This is outrageous! I never imagined these people would be so audacious as to impersonate some dragon messenger to deceive the people! They deserve to die!"

Lu Yang quickly glanced around, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention to the three of them did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He then looked at Li Murui and whispered a warning:

"Grandma, please keep your voice down! Everyone in Jinghe Town has complete faith in that dragon messenger. If our actions are accidentally exposed and we alert them, we'll be in big trouble!"

Li Murui glanced at Lu Yang, gave a soft snort, and said nothing more.

Lu Yang then looked at Cheng Yao, who was sitting opposite them, and asked, "Brother Yao, what do you think of that middle-aged Taoist priest we met today? What should our next move be?"

Cheng Yao pondered, "That Taoist's strength is mediocre. Dealing with him would be quite easy. However, we've heard of no fewer than ten Divine Dragon Messengers along our journey, indicating that they've clearly formed an organization. We know almost nothing about this organization. I think we should play it safe for now and not act rashly. Our priority should be gathering intelligence on them!"

Lu Yang nodded: "I think the same as Brother Yao! Since this organization dares to make money in the name of Shenlong, there must be someone above it!"

Li Murui frowned. "You mean, there are court officials secretly instructing this, colluding with this organization?"

Cheng Yao shook his head slightly, "It may not necessarily be someone from the imperial court; local sects are also suspects."

Since the great battle at Wanren Peak decades ago, the Great Qian Dynasty signed an agreement with the martial arts forces led by the Three Great Sects, canceling several treaties that restricted martial arts sects and no longer restricting their development and expansion.

This decision, while eliminating external enemies for the Great Qian Dynasty, has, over the decades, resulted in a significant increase in the strength of various sects, which are now showing signs of rivaling the imperial court.

In such an environment, the imperial court's supervision and control over various regions naturally decreased.

Lu Yang sighed, "The Great Qian Dynasty has only been peaceful for a short time, and these people have already caused such trouble again. I really hope that the Divine Dragon God can appear again and punish these villains properly."

Li Murui immediately rolled her eyes. "If that Divine Dragon Lord really exists, how could he tolerate these villains using his name to swindle and deceive people?"

Seeing is believing. Although the legend of the dragon is exaggerated and thousands of people witnessed the tsunami that struck Dragon Village, she still expressed skepticism.

Lu Yang knew the other person's personality well and was too lazy to argue with her. He looked at Cheng Yao and had a sudden idea. He said, "Just now, I seemed to notice a young man in the crowd donating a gold ingot to the offering cauldron. The middle-aged Taoist priest even called him over. Perhaps this person can become a breakthrough for our investigation of this organization!"

"You mean, we should recruit that person into our camp?"

Cheng Yao countered with a question.

He also had a deep impression of that person.

"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

As Li Murui recalled the man's appearance, she said, "What if that person betrays us, succumbs to temptation, and reveals our plan? Wouldn't everything be for nothing?"

"I don't think so."

Lu Yang said, "Judging from that person's demeanor, he doesn't seem like someone who's only after profit. I'm not sure if he'll agree to join us, but I think the kind of thing you're talking about is almost impossible."

Lu Yang didn't know why, but when he saw that person for the first time, he felt a great sense of familiarity, as if he were seeing his master.

It was precisely because of this feeling that he developed such great trust in the other person despite being complete strangers.

"what?"

Li Murui, unaware of Lu Yang's thoughts, glanced at him with great surprise.

Cheng Yao thought about it carefully and said, "To be on the safe side, let's make contact with that person first."

After discussing their next move, the three of them didn't linger and immediately headed towards the Shenlong Temple.

When the three arrived at Shenlong Temple, they happened to see the middle-aged Taoist priest and Jiang Yuchuan chatting and laughing as they walked out of their residence behind the temple.

In order not to attract the attention of the middle-aged Taoist priest, the three of them hid immediately and secretly observed the middle-aged Taoist priest and Jiang Yuchuan.

"Judging from how these two are chatting and laughing, could it be that this person has already joined that organization?"

Li Murui guessed in a low voice.

"That organization probably isn't that easy to join."

Cheng Yao shared his thoughts, "Perhaps this person made a good impression on that Taoist priest, and is therefore still under observation?"

As they were talking, the three saw Jiang Yuchuan part ways with the middle-aged Taoist priest and slowly walk out of the town.

"Let's go! We'll follow them!"

After Jiang Yuchuan had walked a certain distance, Li Murui threw down a sentence and chased after him with Lu Yang and Cheng Yao.

To their surprise, when the three of them reached the corner of the long street, they discovered that their target had suddenly vanished without a trace.

"What about people?"

Li Murui's face was filled with disbelief.

The distance between them and that person was only a dozen or so feet. Even if that person was fast, he couldn't just disappear in the time it took to turn a corner.

Lu Yang and Cheng Yao were also caught in deep suspicion.

In their perception, Jiang Yuchuan was at most a third-rate martial artist who had not yet cultivated internal energy, and it was impossible for him to suddenly disappear without a trace while they were tracking him.

Unless they misjudged the opponent's strength from the very beginning!

"It seems we underestimated them and were discovered ahead of time."

Cheng Yao shook his head regretfully.

The plan was declared a failure before it even began.

The three had no choice but to return the way they came, back to the inn where they had stayed in town, to discuss the matter further.

After some further discussion, the three decided to go all the way and kidnap the middle-aged Taoist priest to force him to reveal information about the organization.

The reason they chose such a brutal and direct method was that the three of them believed that anyone who joined the organization was a greedy and fearful person. They thought that once they had someone in their grasp, they would be unable to withstand the coercion and intimidation and would reveal everything they knew.

The Divine Dragon Dharma Assembly had just ended, and the middle-aged Taoist priest would not leave until early tomorrow morning.

To ensure the process of helping others went smoothly and without any unexpected incidents, the three decided to wait until late at night to begin their operation.
