ninety thousand miles

Chapter 447 Reputation
It wasn't a White Walker or a Soul Eater, and no other strange things were found.

After a careful inspection, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Could it be that her coming to Tianju Mountain had nothing to do with the demon spirit? Was she just offending the Imperial Observatory and came to seek refuge with her little sister?
Thinking of this, Li Chuan felt a little uneasy and checked it again carefully.

Still don't see the problem.

He was slightly distracted, and then he heard the conversation between Wen Guying and Xiao Xiang.

"This...I can't say." Xiao Xiang said.

Wen Guying changed the question, "Then tell me, what have you done for Prince Su?"

"I can't say that either." Xiao Xiang said.

Her past flows on the mirror as she recalls the past, constantly blending and swirling.

"Think about it carefully, can't we say anything at all? For example, some trivial matters?" Wen Guying said.

Xiao Xiang began to think about it.

In the pool of water, the runes that trapped her soul flickered a few times, and the formation changed, but Xiao Xiang was unaware.

The image on the mirror gradually became blurred and difficult to recognize.

The restraining force of the oath or the prohibition was unable to break through the limitation of Wen Guying's pursuit even with the help of the Soul Observation Formation and the Abyss Fire Mirror.

The power of law?

Where does this power come from?

Demon spirit? It couldn't be her. She had been hiding by the dark river in the Heart Abyss. She was forced to leave the Heart Abyss after the sweet spring reappeared. Xiao Xiang made the vow more than ten or twenty years ago.

Immortal? Only immortal. Which immortal? It must be the immortal who ascended to heaven after the great catastrophe of gods and demons. Then, there is a record.

Xiao Xiang seemed to have finally thought of something. She said, "When I was following Master Turtle, he once asked me to go to the forest outside Qingtan County. He didn't say what it was. I waited there for three days. Nothing happened, so I went back. Does this count as well?"

"When did it happen?" Wen Guying asked?
"It was last fall, I don't remember the exact date," Xiao Xiang said.

Xiao Xiang felt a little dizzy and said, "I have already answered three questions, is that enough?"

"Okay." Wen Guying said.

"Can I go now?" Xiao Xiang asked.

"Okay." Wen Guying said.

Xiao Xiang turned around and just took a step, she felt dizzy. Runes penetrated her body one by one, and she felt something being peeled off from her.

"You..." She was speechless.

"Brother Li, rub the Tianyin pot to make the place surge. Please try to be faster." Wen Guying said to Li Chuan.

"Okay." Li Chuan had not yet exited his mysterious state. He took out the Tianyin pot by feel and rubbed it quickly, causing ripples to surge. During this time, he heard a muffled groan, but he didn't pay attention to it and concentrated on controlling the surge of ripples.

The image on the Yuanhuo Mirror gradually began to become clear.

Sure enough, the laws of immortals will become ineffective in the surge.

Wen Guying's mind sank into the Abyss Fire Mirror. He grasped the trace of information revealed by Xiao Xiang and kept tracing it in the vortex.

After three breaths, he said to Li Chuan: "Okay, that's enough."

Li Chuan stopped immediately. When his vision returned to normal, he saw a ferret lying on its stomach at the edge of the pond in the center of the formation, its eyes closed, and it was unknown whether it was alive or dead.

"What's wrong with her?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying withdrew the formation, walked to Li Chuan, shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, you are a scholar after all, how come you don't know how to be gentle with women?"

As soon as Li Chuan heard Wen Guying's tone, he knew that he had gotten what he wanted. So he relaxed and argued, "What does this have to do with me? I'm here now, and I haven't moved a step, okay?"

"When we sank into the Heart Abyss before, didn't you also put a Deep Silk on us?" Wen Guying said, "A little demon who has been here for eight hundred years, his mind is not on cultivation, and he is messing around everywhere. How much cultivation can he have?"

"What should we do now?" Li Chuan asked.

As soon as he finished asking, he saw Yao Shuang take a step forward, reach out and pull a red-black snake out of the ground.

The snake rolled and struggled, and actually broke free.

Yao Shuang was about to chase after him when Wen Guying spoke up. He said, "No need to chase after him." Then he looked up into the air and said, "Daoyou Liu, come back."

A moment later, the pointed-faced banshee appeared on the other side of the formation. She looked at the little snow ferret by the pond, then at the three people with Wen Guying, and asked very cautiously, "Master Wen, you said you would only ask three questions."

Wen Guying said: "I just asked three questions. If you don't believe me, ask her yourself."

The little ferret's eyelids moved, then it turned over and curled up into a ball, shivering.

The pointy-faced banshee looked better. She asked, "Can I take her away now?"

"She can stay." Wen Guying said.

The pointed-faced banshee showed no joy on her face, but said calmly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Wen."

She walked over, picked up the little ferret, turned around and walked out.

As she walked past Li Chuan, Li Chuan felt that she seemed to glance at him.

After the pointy-faced witch left, Wen Guying said, "Let's find a place to talk."

"When do we set off?" Yao Shuang asked?
"Anytime is fine." Wen Guying said casually.

"Then tomorrow, don't delay any longer, I have already made all the preparations." Yao Shuang said. This time she did not lower her head, but looked directly at Wen Guying.

"Okay." Wen Guying agreed.

After getting the answer, Yao Shuang said, "I'll tell the headmaster, and you also remember to tell the old palace master." After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

Probably he went to see Sect Leader Chu.

After Li Chuan put away the Tianyin pot, he asked, "What did you see?"

Wen Guying asked: "What about you? Is there anything wrong with her?"

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "No, I looked carefully. Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now."

Wen Guying said: "When it surged, the restrictions that trapped her loosened, allowing me to glimpse some of her past."

"She...she also participated in the battle of Heyuan Town, but when the two sides were fighting fiercely, she was still involved with a scholar. By the time Yanyunke, the old turtle, went to Yashan County, she was still not clearly involved." Wen Guying said.

"This..." Li Chuan didn't know how to comment for a moment.

"They must be short of manpower over there, so they notified her to go to Yashan County. Also because of her, her cultivation was too poor, and she was always entangled with mortals, so she didn't come into contact with much." Wen Guying said.

"Then why do they still need her?" Li Chuan was puzzled.

"There aren't many reliable people, so how many reliable monsters can there be?" Wen Guying asked back. Before Li Chuan could speak, he said, "It's nothing more than that she is unreliable in this aspect, while others are unreliable in other aspects."

"Compared to her shortcomings, she has many good points. For example, her friendship with Fellow Daoist Liu. In addition to Fellow Daoist Liu, she has many other friends."

"That's it." Li Chuan said.

"In her memory, there is a blessed place, a place full of spiritual energy. She didn't practice at all there..." Wen Guying continued, "She later returned to Yashan County. Maybe they thought she was useless, so they asked her to guard a secret passage in the forest outside Qingtan County."

"Secret passage?" Li Chuan asked.

"Well, there is a secret passage? The one she said waited for three days and went back without any problem... yes..." Wen Guying couldn't help but sigh and said, "They transferred her away first because they were afraid that she would cause trouble. If you calculate the time, it should be the time it took for the servants in the general's mansion to be transported to the manor."

"She's quite smart then." Li Chuan said.

It not only answered Wen Guying's question, but also confirmed that the ban was avoided.

"It seems that because of what Daoist Fellow Liu said to her before, she often pretends to be stupid and deliberately avoids certain things. So she really hasn't killed many people." Wen Guying said, "The demon cultivators who have lived for a long time all have ways to protect themselves. But her desire to avenge the Spirit Fish King also seems to be genuine."

"The King of Spirit Fish? Not Prince Su?" Li Chuan was stunned.

"Well, she wants to rescue Prince Su and reopen the paradise. Then she and her friends will concentrate on practicing in it. When they become stronger, they will come out to kill Gong Wuguang." Wen Guying said.

"Very ambitious." Li Chuan commented.

"I didn't see any footage of Qinling. But I guess the location of that paradise should be in Qinling, not somewhere in Yashan County as she remembered." Wen Guying's face became serious. "She knew about that nunnery and had been there, but her memory of it was erased. I can only guess from some remaining footage that she probably entered the secret passage."

"Erase? Isn't there a ban?" Li Chuan was stunned.

"Yes, but the relevant memories have been erased?" Wen Guying said, "That's roughly what I know."

"Why didn't we use this method when we interrogated Prince Su last time?" Li Chuan suddenly thought of this, "The Abyss Fire Mirror was also repaired by then."

"Prince Su is a mortal, let alone the surge, he can't even withstand the spiritual observation array. Even if the immortal's restriction fails during the surge, the immortal's power will still have an impact after the surge ends." Wen Guying looked helpless, "Didn't you see what happened to the little snow ferret? Fellow Daoist Liu's eyes almost swallowed me up. You are indeed a member of the Imperial Observatory, and your methods are cruel."

"Didn't she reveal her true form?" Li Chuan was puzzled.

"Eight hundred years of cultivation are all gone." Wen Guying said: "She can only speak now? I don't know what will happen to my reputation as Senior Brother Wen in the future."

"Ah?" Li Chuan didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

"So, let's go to Yashan County tomorrow." Wen Guying said, "Senior Sister Yao said we are ready, so we are ready."

"What about Xiaoxiang's life?" Li Chuan asked.

"She is safe, and it's not completely without benefits. Her spirit is more concentrated than before. After the messy spiritual energy dissipates, if she can really concentrate on cultivation, she will be much better than before." Wen Guying answered. He glanced at Li Chuan and said, "Are you starting to be gentle with her now?"

"Her prototype is quite pretty." said Li Chuan.

"No wonder you were unmoved by her seductive techniques. It turns out that this is what you like." Wen Guying said.

"Charm?" Li Chuan was confused again, "Did she use it on me?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think the old palace master threw me here in such a hurry?" Wen Guying said unhappily, "When you meet a female demon, you should be more careful."

"But Senior Sister Yao is here." Li Chuan felt that he was being very careful.

"She..." Wen Guying shook his head, hesitating and saying, "You will know later."

"By the way, Xiao Xiang also became a demon because of the black stone. Could this black stone be related to the demons? Will there be any problems?" Li Chuan asked.

"We don't know yet, let's wait and see." Wen Guying said.

After leaving Zhonghe Hall, Wen Guying continued to go to the old palace master, while Li Chuan returned to his residence.

Thinking that he would leave for Yashan County tomorrow, he sorted out the things in the Bishui Ring and Zuihong Ring, repaired the two swords that Cen the blacksmith had asked Tong Luo to give him, and then wrote a letter to Gong Er Pang San.

The letter was placed on the table in their room, weighed down by the sword.

Then he went to Elder Mi's Sword Island and picked out a sword that he could carry. Mu Ling was there at the time, so he said goodbye to him.

When I returned, it was already dark.

Before going to bed, he finally remembered the little mouse, called him out, listened to him chattering for a long time, and then fell asleep amid the complaints.
