Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 225 Goodbye Wu De

The demon stood up and dusted himself off, while the Thousand-Faced Gentleman slumped in the pit, coughing up blood.

"Thousand Faces, didn't you say you were looking for the Qiankun Bag? Why did you suddenly stop walking!"

"And then you suddenly stopped, causing me to fall into the pit with you!"

The demon scolded him angrily, suppressing the urge to explode.

Ever since she met the man with a thousand faces, nothing has gone smoothly for her. It's as if bad luck follows her wherever she goes.

It was as if she and the man of a thousand faces were destined to be incompatible, and that misfortune would befall them if they spent too much time together.

However, she could only keep these thoughts to herself, since it seemed that the Thousand-Faced Gentleman was even more unfortunate than she, the demon.

"You still dare to talk! If it weren't for your unreasonable arguments, which allowed me to sense and track you immediately, would the mark on my Qiankun bag have been refined by someone else?"

"I was so close! I could have pinpointed the exact location and caught that damn thief."

Now that the mark has been refined, I can only determine the location where the mark last appeared.

Dan City is so big, finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack, and the person who can refine my mark must be at least a powerful being.

Moreover, if this person were to return Ji Daoyi to the Pill Hall…

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman kept complaining and criticizing the demons. He, who was originally very confident, became dejected due to the continuous setbacks.

He originally thought that his Qiankun Bag would never be able to return to his hands.

When he mentioned Ji Daoyi, the key figure immediately came to mind!

The thousand-faced man's eyes lit up again, and he did a somersault to his feet!

"Demon, let's go!"

Once I enter Dan City and find Ji Daoyi again, I'll know who took my Qiankun Bag and shamelessly caused us such a mess.

I'm going to keep him locked up in the latrine for a hundred years, no, for ten thousand years, so he can become filthy and flavorful!

I'll make him wish he were dead, I want to see him eat shit every day!

"Aren't you celebrating too soon? If that person had saved Ji Daoyi, do you think you would have been subdued by the Pill Palace and then punished by many holy lands if you entered Dan City now!"

"Haha, you demon, don't forget my name, Thousand Faces! I, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, am not called that for nothing."

The Thousand-Faced Gentleman spun around in front of the demons and then transformed into a completely different appearance!

"So, can you still recognize me?"

He said this with a smug look on his face, showing no trace of his previous dejection.

"Now I finally understand why you were able to evade so many holy lands' pursuit. Your ability to change your appearance is truly remarkable; you can not only alter your looks but also the aura you exude!"

"Of course! Otherwise, do you really think I, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, could have survived in the martial world for so many years without some skill? I'd be buried long ago!"

"Then which version of you is the real you?"

The man with a thousand faces was taken aback, then smiled, "All forms are me!"

The demon never expected the Thousand-Faced Gentleman to answer her like that.

……

After obtaining the true scriptures from Elder Yi Hai, Wu De returned to his own courtyard.

He had just reached the door when he saw Ji Dao cautiously observing his surroundings and tiptoeing outwards.

Wu De found it quite interesting and tiptoed to the door.

He suddenly spoke up: "Hey! Brother Daoyi, we meet again!"

Ji Daoyi was startled by the sudden sound, and after seeing who it was, he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It's you! Were you also captured by the Lotus Sect?"

“Yes, I was arrested too. So, to avoid physical punishment, I confessed to them that the scriptures were with you.”

"They also said that I should atone for my crimes by doing good deeds. They said that as long as you give me the scriptures, they will release you and won't do anything to you, since you are also a member of the Pill Hall."

Ji Daoyi believed that Wu De had been arrested like him when he heard the first part, but when he heard the second part, he felt something was strange!

Since they were both arrested, and it was an interrogation, it was impossible to interrogate only one person. Moreover, since they were arrested for the scriptures, and they knew that the scriptures were in his possession, shouldn't they have come to him to get the scriptures themselves as soon as possible?

How could we let Wu De, who was arrested, take it? Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

Ji Daoyi immediately realized what was happening!

(Wait, this shouldn't be the Lotus Sect. Could it be that I've been saved, and the person who saved me is the fat guy in front of me?)

As soon as Ji Daoyi thought about it, he carefully spread his spiritual power outwards.

They soon learned his current location: the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in Dan City.

When he first woke up, he didn't use his mental power because he was afraid that if he suddenly used it, the powerful would discover it.

Because unfamiliar spiritual power can easily alert powerful individuals, many forces have set up spiritual power and divine sense detection and early warning formations.

An alert will be issued if the person is a stranger!

Just like now, Ji Daoyi had just released his spiritual power when he was immediately discovered by the experts from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and they arrived at an incredibly fast speed.

"who is it?"

"Holy Son, are you alright?"

Guard Li Wei rushed over. Because he was closest, he was the first to discover Ji Daoyi's spiritual power.

Wu De was also disturbed by Li Wei's sudden appearance. His original intention was to scare Ji Daoyi and see if he could get the scriptures from Ji Daoyi without any effort.

Unexpectedly, when Li Wei arrived, he directly called him the Holy Son, and Wu De knew that he could no longer pretend!

Because he saw Ji Daoyi looking at him strangely, and with a meaningful expression.

"I'm fine. Guard Li, what brings you here?"

Li Wei said, "I just sensed an unfamiliar spiritual force spying on the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and the source of that spiritual force is right here. I was worried that it might harm you, Holy Son, so I rushed over."

“Oh, I see.

"Guard Li, thank you. I'll put in a good word for you with Elder Yi in the future. The person you're looking for isn't here, and my friend and I didn't notice anything unusual while chatting here."

Li Wei glanced at Ji Daoyi and then at Wu De, "If you need anything, please call me. I will be ready to serve you at any time!"

He finished speaking and didn't linger; he turned and left immediately.

They obeyed Wu De's orders very well.

Ji Daoyi looked at Wu De with a half-smile: "Holy Son? It seems you have quite a background, Fatty. You've become the Holy Son of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in just a few days!"

"You're still putting on an act here, saying you were also captured by the Lotus Sect and want to trick me into giving you scriptures?"

When his lie was exposed, Wu De gave an awkward laugh, and then said something surprising, "I never expected that you, Brother Dao Yi, could cultivate spiritual power at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. That's unheard of in the Central Continent!"

Ji Daoyi neither denied nor admitted it.

Instead, she changed the subject, "So, you're the one who rescued me from the clutches of the Thousand-Faced Gentleman?"

"A thousand-faced gentleman? What thousand-faced gentleman? I picked you up by the corner of the wall next to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. When I found you, you were still unconscious. I thought you were drunk and just found a place to rest!"
