Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 206 The only loophole

After traveling for more than ten days, among the rolling mountains, the majestic Jade Emperor City came into view clearly.

That Yuning Town is already vaguely visible.

Inexplicably, the spirit that had been tense for more than ten days couldn't help but relax a little.

This distance range can still guarantee a certain degree of safety.

After walking a few steps forward, it seemed that he was within the sound transmission distance of the sound transmission talisman, and the sound transmission talisman in his arms was also vibrating continuously.

Take it out casually, and a dozen or so sound transmissions are heard one after another.

The first few sound transmissions were all trivial matters.

Although Xu Yuan has moved to Yuning Town, out of caution, Chu Mu still keeps him in a state of strangers.

Today, he lives in a small town and has quit his work in the spiritual field, relying on the spiritual stone pills he gave him, and is practicing in the small town with peace of mind.

It can also be regarded as his eyes and ears in the small town. After all, he lives in the town, often retreats to practice, or wanders around the black market, and pays little attention to the outside world.

A few voice transmissions and some trivial matters also gave him a clear understanding of the situation in the Tianyu Imperial City and the town.

But the next few sound transmissions made Chu Mu relax a little, and then he became a little dignified.

"Law enforcement team, count the household register?"

Chu Mu frowned. According to what Xu Yuan said, the Jade Emperor City Law Enforcement Team appeared in the town recently and was going door-to-door to make statistics and register.

Chu Mu was a little hesitant. The registration in the world of cultivating immortals is not simply a name.

It's like renting a house in Fangshi, where the soul breath is directly registered.

With his false identity, if he hadn't bribed him, he would not have been able to rent a house under normal procedures.

Right now, Yuning Town is suddenly like this...

Thinking of the chaos in the outside world, Chu Mu also seemed to understand something.

In such a chaotic situation, it is normal for the Longevity Sect to rectify several small towns outside the city.

There are many loopholes in the previous free-range management.

It is very clear to compare him with himself when he kills and steals goods outside, and is a good townsman of the Longevity Sect in the town.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu didn't take it too seriously.

After all, how did he bypass the management of Changshengzong and rent a house in Yuning Town?

It's just local snakes passing through Yuning Town, some second-hand traffickers.

And where did these second-hand dealers get the energy to cross the Jade Emperor City and the Longevity Sect?
Just like the black market around, like the gray order in the town, like Wang Mazi who was caught in the braid...

The ultimate benefit still lies in the Longevity Sect, but it is not the Longevity Sect as a whole, but the individuals and groups within the Longevity Sect.

In this kind of thing, the final result will only be loud thunder and little rain.

In this aspect, the world of cultivating immortals is no different from the secular world.

As far as Yuning Town, on the streets, as expected, there were already many disciples of the Longevity Sect. Those dressed in pure white robes were undoubtedly extremely conspicuous in this dilapidated town.

The superiority originating from the disciples of the sect can also be clearly perceived.

Glancing at these Longevity Sect disciples, Chu Mu pursed his lips. Inexplicably, Chu Mu couldn't help but recall the jungle-like chaos outside the city.

Family and sect.

In this world of cultivating immortals in Great Chu, there are two systems that are indistinguishable from each other, but there are extremely weird contradictions.

It's like... the two systems of centralization and enfeoffment.

The Longevity Sect wants to centralize power, and the many families that are attached to the Longevity Sect are obviously not willing to give up their interests.

Therein lies the contradiction.

In all honesty, he was really not optimistic about the Longevity Sect.

Even from the current point of view, the power of the Longevity Sect seems to be coercing all the families.

Just like the Zhou Dynasty when it was strong in the previous life, it suppressed the princes, and they dare not refuse.

But there is a very clear reality, that is, immortal cultivators are also human beings!
The couple of wealth and land, the couple of Taoism ranked second.

Although it is difficult for immortal cultivators to reproduce, compared with the long life span, offspring must be indispensable.

With descendants, bloodlines will gradually form.

In the end, it will also become a so-called family.

Just like a Jindan Daoist, with a lifespan of hundreds of years, if he gave birth to offspring when he was young, how many offspring can he reproduce by the end of the Jindan Daoist's lifespan?

It will inevitably be a huge number, there will inevitably be a huge demand for resources, and there will be a huge profit orientation!

And a Jindan real person needs huge resources.

To have a family power that completely obeys his orders, and this family power will serve him wholeheartedly...

Who will refuse?

Who can sacrifice their own interests for the sect?
Even if there were, how many such people could there be?

There are countless such existences that have built up the huge whole of the Longevity Sect, but now, the Longevity Sect wants to weaken and suppress this huge foundation.

Even if he wins this time, so what?

Those immortal cultivators who follow the Changshengzong to suppress the family now will slowly evolve into large and small families as time goes by.

It's only a few hundred years at most, and it's just another reincarnation.

Even so, Chu Mu still had some inexplicable admiration for the lord of the Longevity Sect.

Most immortal cultivators regard their interests as king. No matter what the reasons are, it is really rare for a strong Nascent Soul to be able to do so for the interests of the sect.

Of course, this is only limited to moral admiration, as for others, that's gone.

After all, even if the Longevity Sect succeeds, it has nothing to do with him.

Needless to say, the turmoil caused by this will also cause damage to him.

As thoughts flowed, there was a sudden throbbing, but it completely dissipated these thoughts in an instant.

Chu Mu's pupils shrunk slightly, sensing the warning from the Divine Soul Sword, his originally relaxed state of mind became tense to the extreme.

He... is now in Yuning Town!
Why peep?

Chu Mu's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to walk slowly.

His eyes looked around seemingly inadvertently.

The sound transmission talisman in the bosom is already moving with the consciousness, and a sound transmission is also issued quietly.

After a while, the door of a house not far away opened, Xu Yuan led Wangcai out, and the two walked past each other like strangers.

Wangcai also understands human nature, the excitement of the past is gone, one person and one dog, there is no obstacle along the way, but in just a moment, he has left this Yuning Town.

"so……"

Chu Mu pursed his lips, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He is already cautious.

And the warning from the Divine Soul Saber made this cautiousness a bit more secure.

If someone had been following him, it was impossible for him to find out now.

Therefore, it was not that someone directly targeted him, but found him indirectly through other means.

And Xu Yuan's success in leaving the town just now proved that it was not Chu Mu who was targeted, nor the temporary identities that changed every time he left Fangshi and Yuning Town.

It was Li Gang who lived in the city before, or Xu Tao who now lives in Yuning Town.

And these two identities, the only loophole...

"Wang Mazi..."

A series of guesses flickered rapidly, and finally, it was fixed on the name.

At this moment, Chu Mu's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

If there is a problem with these two identities, it is directly related to Yangmai Pill and his identity as an alchemist...

Was it Wang Mazi who betrayed him?Or was Wang Mazi arrested?
The possibility of Wang Mazi betraying him is obviously not high.

If he really wanted to betray him, he wouldn't have been wanted by the Changshengzong back then, and he wouldn't have abandoned the network environment he had managed for decades to escape from the Jade Emperor Valley.

The most important reason why he didn't change his identity at the beginning was also because of this.

After all, with Wang Mazi's old fritters abandoning everything and running away, he must disappear without a trace, and the possibility of being caught is really too low.

Moreover, given the recent situation, other families obviously will not help the Longevity Sect arrest people.

So... this is infallible, really lost?
Wang Mazi was arrested?

Although this fact seems a little unbelievable, but right now, it seems that this is the only possibility.

Chu Mu observed casually.

What he needs to determine most now is who is following him.

Only after confirming who is eyeing him, can one determine... what the other party's intentions are.
