Chapter 333 – Trial and Suspicion
Chapter 333 – Trial and Suspicion
Zhuge Yun’s gaze took on some vague scrutiny as it fell on Xu Chuniang’s body.
Noticing his line of sight, Xu Chuniang raised her head to reveal a hint of a smile.
“I’ve hunted some demonic beasts these days, and since those demonic beasts from before were those that senior brother went to sell, then I’ll ask senior brother to help with these in my hands as well.”
With that, she handed over the storage bag containing the demonic beasts.
This little matter, Zhuge Yun nodded his head and agreed.
He took over the storage bag and swept his divine sense, probing clearly that there were no less than ten demonic beasts inside, and in his heart, he believed in 90% of what Xu Chuniang said.
To her cultivation really want to go to the secret realm, right now may not be able to sit here properly.
Just that she acted privately, in the end it was too risky ……
Zhuge frowned, his face showing displeasure.
“You are too bold and adventurous for this trip, if something goes wrong, how am I going to explain it to the sect and to Thousand Chance Peak?”
“It can’t be helped, a few of us are out of spirit stones, so we can only take the risk to earn them. After senior brother left, only I have the highest cultivation, I can’t let the three of them go.”
Huo Chunyan’s three cultivation levels are all at the second level of Foundation Establishment, and their real-world combat abilities can only be considered average; if they are really allowed to go with them, Xu Chuniang alone will definitely not be able to protect them.
And Xu Chuniang went alone to hunt beasts, in the end also with him leaving a few people related to ……
Zhuge Yun unnaturally coughed lightly, “If you are short of spirit stones, say it with me, and you must not take matters into your own hands in the future.”
“Elder brother is extremely right, seeing that we have to pay for the house again, why don’t you give us some spirit stones first, so that we can deal with the emergency. When these ferocious beasts are sold for money, then we can deduct them from it.”
Xu Chuniang nodded her head with a smile on her face, looking as if she had taken the words in.
Zhao Xing San looked at Zhuge Yun and then at Xu Chuniang, a look of incomprehensibility flashing across his face.
It always felt like the things that Senior Brother Zhuge and Senior Sister Xu did were not reassuring ah.
Zhuge Yun choked and actually took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage ring.
“Here is 20,000 spirit stones, you guys take it and share it, in the end, staying in Mixed Yuan City so far, is because of me. It’s just that something happened in the secret realm, the city lord’s residence Xie San Gongzi disappeared, want to go out of the city still have to wait for some days.”
Xu Chuniang recalled, the party entered the city with a very careful check, and the tightness on the exit side of the city had to be taken to a higher level.
On her way back to the inn, she had listened to the news all the way and knew that the evil cultivator couple was most likely still hiding somewhere in the city.
So now the whole mixed yuan city is heavily guarded, in and out are controlled.
While she was pondering, she heard Huo Chunyan ask, “Since Senior Brother Zhuge has entered the Tian Yuan Mysterious Realm, do you know what the reason is for the disappearance of that Third Prince Xie?”
Zhuge Yun shook his head, “I entered the secret realm to search for spirit herbs that would be beneficial to restoring the Dao Heart, and I have no knowledge of this person’s disappearance.”
Several people were delighted at his words, “Then, Senior Brother, have you recovered your Dao Heart?”
“It’s not that easy,” Zhuge Yun had a bitter look on his face, which was immediately hidden.
“But there will always be a way, you don’t have to worry. In these few days, you stay in the inn, never walk around the city freely, wait for the wind to pass.”
Huo Chunyan nods her head and responds with a straight face, and only after returning to her room and checking that everything in the formation is as normal, does she speak out her guesses towards Xu Chuniang with a mysterious look on her face.
“I always feel that Xie Changyuan’s disappearance has nothing to do with Senior Brother Zhuge.”
Xu Chuniang asked after him without moving, “How can you see that?”
“Have you forgotten how Senior Brother Zhuge’s dao heart, was damaged?” Huo Chunyan winked suggestively, “Destroying someone’s cultivation and taking someone’s love, such great hatred is not shared! I think it’s more like Elder Brother entered the secret realm for the sake of revenge, rather than searching for spirit herbs as he said.”
Xu Chuniang naturally hadn’t forgotten, but Senior Brother Zhuge’s strength was such that he couldn’t even defeat Xie Changyuan alone, let alone a group of people from the City Lord’s Mansion.
For him to act rashly would be nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, seeking his own death.
Moreover, according to the news she had just heard, the City Lord’s Mansion was clearly focusing their search on the male cultivator she had incarnated, as well as the evil cultivator couple, and the group of people who had set up the formation to ambush them.
As for Zhuge senior brother, from the beginning to the end did not show up, no one to pull him to this matter above ……
Not right!
Xu Chuniang’s heart suddenly moved, if Zhuge senior brother is really like her, changed his face?
No one knows better than her how Xie Changyuan disappeared.
It was just that before encountering those two red phosphorus rattlesnakes, there were still about ten people in the City Lord’s Mansion’s party, but when they arrived near the exit of the secret realm, there were only five or six people left, and they were also injured and poisoned.
Because they were in such a poor state, it didn’t take long for them to lose their lives in the battle, and in the end, Xie Changyuan was the only one left, chasing after her along the formation that she had torn apart.
Xu Chuniang inexplicably recalled the red-clothed female cultivator who seemed to be entangled with Xie Changyuan, she was extremely restless along the way, I wonder what role she played in this?
She settled down and said, “Even if senior brother wants to take revenge, but his strength is there, I’m only afraid that he can’t do anything about it.”
Huo Chunyan thinks about this, and says, “At this juncture, it would be better if senior brother doesn’t get involved with Xie Changyuan.
Xu Chuniang stayed in the secret realm for a month, and then killed in Wind Weeping Mountain for a few days, and has long been tired, so after chatting, she went back to the house and slept a lot.
When she woke up again, it was already three days later.
She was hesitant to open another room so that she could enter the small world to find out some information from Xie Changyuan, when she received Zhuge Yun’s voice transmission.
When Xu Chuniang walked out of her bedroom, Huo Chunyan was preparing to go out, and when she saw that she had finally woken up from her nap, a smile appeared on her face.
“You’re finally awake, did senior brother Zhuge receive his voice transmission, I heard that senior sister Shangguan is here and is calling us all to go over.”
Xu Chuniang nodded, and the two of them headed to Zhuge Yun’s room together.
The moment she stepped into the room, her footsteps suddenly lurched, and then she walked in with a normal demeanor.
And Shangguan Xue seemed to sense something and looked over towards where the two were.
Seeing that the people were all together, Zhuge Yun did not talk nonsense, “Senior Sister Shangguan will be traveling with us since today.”
Zhang Yu first reveals a smile, then doubts, “Is Senior Sister Shangguan the only one?”
Shangguan Xue slightly lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
“Those few senior brothers last time, who accompanied me into the Tian Yuan secret realm …… have unfortunately perished.”
The room was quiet for a moment, everyone was digesting this unfortunate news.
Zhao Yu and Huo Chunyan, on the other hand, were glad that they had not been able to enter the Mysterious Realm, waiting to pick up a life.
Xu Chuniang looked over towards Shangguan Xue, “I wonder if senior sister can tell us how those two fellow disciples, actually perished?”
“They encountered a demonic beast in the secret realm, and I didn’t have time to save them.”
Shangguan Xue’s face was calm, as if she had already accepted this reality.
Xu Chuniang’s gaze fell on Shangguan Xue, and the words she uttered were somewhat aggressive.
“Their cultivation is not high, and by bringing them into the secret realm, Senior Sister is doing them harm.”
