The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 800 Huaixi

In a remote hut in Shenmu District, Beijing.

A pale-faced man was sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing qigong. His forehead was covered in sweat, as if he was experiencing great pain.

After an unknown amount of time, the man suddenly bent over and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The blood fell to the ground, but quickly "evaporated" up and turned into a ghost-faced little man who pounced towards him fiercely.

But the man was obviously prepared for this. He made a gesture with one hand and made a leaf-shaped jade talisman in front of the bed fly in front of him, unfolding a green barrier.

The next moment, the ghost-faced man was wrapped in layers of green barriers, and no matter how he struggled, he could not break free.

At the same time, the leaf-shaped jade talisman fell back onto the bed, its color dimming a little.

"It's a curse!" Seeing this, the man's face became even uglier, and he gritted his teeth and said, "My good sixth brother, I never thought that you would collude with outsiders for the position of gang leader and even frame your own brothers!"

This man was none other than Qiu Wuyan, the former young leader of the Shenmu Gang and the elder brother of “Qianye Soul-Sucking” Qiu Wufeng.

Qiu Wuyan was a young talent in the capital a few years ago. Although he could not be compared with the so-called "Six Young Masters of the Central Plains" or "Thirteen Famous Swordsmen of Kyushu", he was also a person who had improved his "magic power" at the age of twenty and had achieved perfection in "Gangsha" before he was thirty. People nicknamed him "Cui Ye Ning Feng".

Unfortunately, a few years ago, while traveling, he encountered a demon's followers and was poisoned, which resulted in all his magical powers being wasted.

This was also the beginning of all the disasters that befell the Qiu family.

His second brother Qiu Wuhen bumped into King Liang in the street and was beaten severely by King Liang's attendants. He has been bedridden ever since.

His third brother Qiu Wuxin was blinded by the enemy's magic during a fighting competition, which resulted in his inner world being incomplete and he stopped at the Refining Qi Stage.

His fourth brother was instigated by a servant to kill someone, and was caught on the spot by the head of the Six Gates Constables and sent to the "Xuan Du Wei", where he never had freedom again.

His fifth brother...

Although some of these brothers were not born of the same mother as him, Qiu Wuyan, as the eldest brother, always treated them as his own family members. How could he not be heartbroken when he saw himself and his brothers encountering misfortunes!

Fortunately, after the originally dissolute sixth brother cheered up, the family's fortunes finally changed, and the father, who was originally exhausted, felt better.

Qiu Wuyan had originally accepted his fate, thinking that it would be a good idea for his sixth brother Qiu Wufeng to be in charge of the gang in the future. But a day ago, his father suddenly called him back home while his sixth brother was out, and gave him a method to remove the curse and a talisman that could contain the curse.

At the same time, he was also told that it was his sixth brother who colluded with outsiders and framed his brothers one after another. Even his father, a powerful monk, was controlled by his sixth brother's collaborators and was only awake occasionally.

“The organization that is cooperating with Qiu Wufeng should be a powerful organization. They are so powerful that they can even influence the Six Gates, Daoguan Office, and even various royal palaces!
"It is unwise to confront him head-on. After you remove the curse, immediately go to the secret realm of Huaixi Garden in the northern suburbs to receive inheritance and become the leader of the gang to prevent Qiu Wufeng's conspiracy from succeeding."

Qiu Wuyan recalled the words his father had said when he was desperately fighting against control, his face full of ferocity.

At the same time, he wondered puzzledly: "Where did Qiu Wufeng find such a powerful helper?

“My father is a cultivator with magical powers, yet he can be controlled… If the secret of the inheritance land had not been protected by the token, Qiu Wufeng would have found the secret place long ago.

"Well, it is said that he is going to be engaged to the daughter of the Yu family, a prominent family in Yanzhou. Moreover, this Miss Yu is the younger sister of Yu Chao, the Thousand-Eyed Flying Swallow Sword, one of the 'Thirteen Swords of Jiuzhou'. It is even rumored that the mother of this Miss Yu is a real daughter of an aristocratic family...

"How ridiculous! If she is really a legitimate daughter of the Yu family, how could she marry the young leader of a gang?" And as far as I know, Yu Chao is also a concubine's daughter. It's just that she was born under the name of the mistress of the family because of her outstanding talent.

"Wait... Speaking of which, Yu Chao's rise is similar to Qiu Wufeng's. They both suddenly showed their talent and their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds...

"Are they working for the same organization?"

The more Qiu Wuyan thought about it, the more he felt that the water here was unfathomable, but now the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot. After all, his father had been controlled by them, and there was no telling when he would reveal that he had seen him.

Even in order to avoid being killed easily, he has to obtain the inheritance of his own gang.

Qiu Wuyan secretly encouraged himself, then pretended to be decadent and went out. He had a big meal at a nearby restaurant to restore some of the energy he had lost in the past few years, and then pretended to stroll aimlessly, getting closer to the northern suburbs.

Soon, he arrived at the northern suburbs and turned into an alley, then climbed over the wall behind him and entered the "Huaixi Garden".

Of course, only his father and he knew the name "Huaixi Garden". In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a holiday villa of the "Shenmu Gang".

There were not many gang members in "Huaixi Garden". Since they only did some cleaning work on weekdays, their strength was not very strong. Therefore, Qiu Wuyan easily bypassed the guards and came to a rockery in the backyard.

Qiu Wuyan followed the spell given by his father and performed a simple ritual. It took less than an incense stick of time for a big door to appear at the foot of the rockery.

The former "Cui Ye Ning Feng" walked straight into the door without any hesitation.

Just after he entered the gate on the rockery, three figures appeared out of nowhere and landed at the place where Qiu Wuyan had just stood.

The three people, two men and one woman, looked at each other, then left one man outside the rockery while the other two followed him into the room.

On the other side, Qiu Wuyan’s eyes blurred after he stepped through the gate. When he regained his sight, he found himself in a spacious independent space.

The scale of this space was not small, and it was a huge maze overall, and he was at the "entrance" of the maze.

"This should be the 'secret realm' that my father mentioned... The inheritance token is in the deepest part of the maze... This maze is a test for the next 'gang leader'."

As his thoughts turned, Qiu Wuyan took out his magical sword and stepped into the maze cautiously.

The so-called "secret realm" is generally a space solidified by the heaven and earth within the body of a cultivator with supernatural powers or above. Of course, it can also be opened up and solidified on an object by a cultivator who is good at spatial supernatural powers. For example, the castle inside Zhao Chen's magical weapon "Fengyun Heming Ring" is actually a secret realm.

There are often powerful formations set up in secret realms, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators with supernatural powers to escape once they are trapped in them.

However, Qiu Wuyan was not afraid. Even though he encountered many illusions along the way, he still walked towards the deepest part firmly.

……

At the same time, the man who was standing on guard with a sword in front of the rockery in the backyard of "Huaixi Garden" suddenly trembled all over, then his eyes became blurred, and he collapsed to the ground.

The next moment, Zhao Chen emerged from his shadow and used his "Dongxu Eyes" to carefully examine the gate on the rockery.
