When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 776: Shengjing Encounter
The three of them were trying to figure out who the owner of Qingcheng Pavilion was.

However, the statements of the heads of each disciplinary office are different.

Some said he was a nobleman in the capital, some said he was a big shot in the army, and some said he was a member of a prominent family.

But one clue is very clear: the best "goods" from Qingcheng Pavilions in various places were all shipped to Shengjing.

So, even if Xu Zhi’s incident had not happened, the destination of the three would only be Shengjing.

However, after entering Shengjing City, the three of them became cautious.

It is still unknown whether the highest level of power in this world has the level of Yuanshen.
But there are quite a few Yangshen Venerables.

In the previous provincial capital, the three of them had encountered a Yang God, but the magical powers and magic weapons of this venerable one were sparse and ordinary, even far inferior to those of the casual cultivators in the earthly immortal world.

Both Zhang Fuxiang and Li You had the ability to defeat him in one-on-one combat. Under the siege of the two, he couldn't hold out for long and died on the spot.

But these few people would not underestimate the Yang God here because of this.

If it were a Yang God who had not learned the great Tiangang supernatural power, but had only cultivated ordinary supernatural powers to perfection and had a magical weapon at hand, it would be difficult for both of them to deal with him.

Compared with Tang Yuan's accumulation in the Yin Shen realm, Li You and Zhang Fuxiang are still far behind.

And now that he has come to Shengjing City, there is no need to say much about Yang Shen who can gain a foothold in the capital. Most likely, he will not be like before, trapped in a coffin and lying in a dead grave.

Therefore, the decision of several people to hide themselves was naturally the right one.

Fortunately, Shengjing's pedestrian throughput is very large.

There is no need for other states. Every day, countless people travel back and forth between Shengjing and the 81 states directly under its jurisdiction.

Therefore, there was no strict check of their identity certificates. The three of them just made a simple disguise, pretending to be children of noble families who came to the capital to see the world, and they successfully got in.

The three of them set two goals for this trip, one was to find out the details of Qingcheng Pavilion, and the other was to find Xu Zhi and reunite with her.

Let’s talk about the news of Qingcheng Pavilion first.

There was no need to deliberately explore the part floating on the water. The tallest and most luxurious building in Dukangfang was Qingcheng Pavilion, which was well-known to everyone in Shengjing.

The three of them had been there several times, but because they were new faces, they had no chance to experience the services hidden underwater in Qingcheng Pavilion, and they only heard a few songs.

If someone who does not understand its nature comes here for the first time, he will only think that this place is indeed simple and elegant, and it should be a good place for disciples of aristocratic families and literati and poets.

The matter of Qingcheng Pavilion was progressing slowly, so the few of them decided to focus on finding Xu Zhi first.

Moreover, several people felt that if she was really reborn in Shengjing, she should be well aware of the various forces in this city.

Who knows, when the time comes, we just need to ask and we will know who is behind Qingcheng Pavilion.

However, except for the first time, Guo Yang never felt even the slightest fluctuation of the mark again.

Even after he deliberately activated the secret technique twice, there was still no response.

So, the three of them investigated for more than half a month, but there was no obvious progress.

……

That day, when Guo Yang was about to go to another market to investigate, Zhang Fuxiang walked in. He pointed inside the house and explained, "Don't go out yet. I may have heard about Xu Zhi."

"Any news about Master's Aunt?"

Guo Yang's face was filled with excitement. If he counted from the time his memory awakened, he hadn't seen Zhou Ju and Xu Zhi for more than ten years.

You have to know that this world is a strange place after all. In addition to the natives, there are also many cultivators who roam the world of immortals.

Every spot in the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly is extremely precious, so Guo Yang naturally doesn't want Sanxian Island to lose points with him.

Therefore, Guo Yang is always very cautious and under a lot of pressure when making any decision.

Now that Yu has found his backbone again and no longer has to make decisions or bear pressure on his own, he is naturally very happy.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fuxiang waved his hand, motioning him to sit down and listen first.

After they were seated, Zhang Fuxiang slowly spoke, "I have been trying to blend into the circle of Shengjing's aristocratic family children these days, and was only initially accepted a week ago."

"I think given Fellow Daoist Xu Zhi's personality, he shouldn't be too secretive after awakening his memory. He should have already shown some of his talents by now."

"So I set my sights on those influential figures in Shengjing."

Guo Yang nodded slightly to show his agreement.

In fact, after seeing the style of the aristocratic families in this world and the true appearance of Shengjing City.

What he was most worried about was whether his master, Xu Zhi, who was so impatient, could endure such filth.

He was always afraid that if Xu Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, she would kill him in a rage. In the end, he would be caught by the great monks of this world and be out of the game. What should he do?

Moreover, the fact that Guo Yang no longer felt Xu Zhi's breath or the movement of the secret technique seemed to support this hypothesis.

"After my elimination, I initially set two goals."

Zhang Fuxiang pointed out two fingers, "One of them is Princess Zhuoqing, who is quite famous in Shengjing today. She is the daughter of the powerful Wang family. Four years ago, she came to Shengjing on behalf of the Wang family to manage the family business."

"As soon as she arrived in Shengjing, she was granted the title of Princess by the Great Sheng Emperor. After that, she showed her ability to socialize with people. She soon became the object of competition among the children of the Shengjing noble families, and attracted countless people to be obsessed with her."

"Now she is even known as the most beautiful woman in Dajian."

Li You frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Four to five years ago, that was when our memories awakened."

After several comparisons, Li You and others inferred that the time it takes for memory to recover is likely related to one's own cultivation.

The weaker your cultivation, the sooner you will recover.

Li You and Zhang Fuxiang only recovered their memories four or five years ago, but Guo Yang recovered them about five years earlier than them.

Calculated in this way, the time when Princess Zhuoqing was active is quite consistent with Xu Zhiyin's cultivation level.

But Guo Yang shook his head slightly and denied it: "If it was really Master Aunt, she would never do such a social thing to please both sides, unless something unexpected happened, causing her memory to be distorted, resulting in a drastic change in her personality."

Zhang Fuxiang's face straightened, and he replied seriously: "Although I haven't had much contact with Fellow Daoist Xu Zhi, I don't think she is such a flamboyant person. Now that my nephew has given a negative opinion, I think we can roughly rule out her possibility."

Li You, on the side, added: "However, the timing of this woman's appearance is strange, and everything she does shows that she has ulterior motives. She is most likely one of our companions, but we don't know where she is." After entering this world, it goes without saying that she concealed her original appearance, so Li You, Guo Yang and others were able to recognize each other.

It was because they happened to track down a noble family and recognized the Taoist methods of each family that they recognized each other.

Guo Yang tapped lightly with one finger of his right hand, thinking about Kun Xiu who was attending the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly this time.

"It is not necessarily limited to the Yin God realm. Perhaps it is possible to be in the Jindan realm like me. If she also spent four or five years to recover her cultivation and get to know this world before returning to the secular world, it is also possible. In this way, the timeline can also match up."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fuxiang glanced at him and smiled gently, "Nephew, don't worry about it. Although Zhuoqing is a princess, it is still unclear whether she is a Kun Xiu. Those people from the Demon Sect may deliberately confuse gender to confuse others."

"Besides, even if this Princess Zhuoqing is telling the truth in everything, she may just be a puppet target that was ejected to trick us."

"Given its flamboyant attitude, this possibility is not small."

"Senior is indeed very thoughtful. I took things for granted." Guo Yang bowed, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although he had also walked out of the mountain gate in the past to seek out the power of Qi and refine the evil spirits before achieving the golden elixir, he had quite a lot of experience.

But compared to them, he seemed too immature, and he couldn't grasp the temperament of the evil monsters accurately.

Zhang Fuxiang nodded slightly. Then he continued, "If Princess Zhuoqing doesn't look like her, I've heard a piece of news that she looks a bit like Fellow Daoist Xu Zhi."

"It turned out that the King of Chu, one of the four great princes of Shengjing, had a daughter who was very naughty when she was young. When she grew up, she ran away from home to escape the engagement with the son of the Minister of Rites."

"In order to avoid being caught, she even scattered all the things in her boudoir throughout Shengdajing."

Guo Yang thought about it. Although he didn't want to admit it, such a fantastic idea was something his master's aunt could do. He could only whisper: "Acting this way is somewhat similar to my master's aunt."

"This is not the end. Half a year after the disappearance of the King of Chu's daughter, the entire Weiyang Marquis family was wiped out. It is said that many people saw that the King of Chu's daughter appeared in Xishanfang covered in blood that night. The latter is the district where the Weiyang Marquis's mansion is located."

"Cut the grass at its roots" and "wipe out the entire family"!
The more Guo Yang listened, the more he felt that this was something his invincible master would do. However, it didn't sound very good, as it didn't sound like something from a reputable and upright family.

A few drops of cold sweat dripped from Guo Yang's forehead.

"But according to my investigation, the Weiyang Marquis' Mansion is not a good place. Apart from the Qingguo Pavilion, the brothel business in Shengjing is managed by the Weiyang Mansion."

"And compared to the Qingguo Pavilion, they are more naked and have special goods for the enjoyment of the city's nobles."

Zhang Fuxiang paused, then said in a deep voice: "The so-called goods are the mortals of Shenlinfang."

Guo Yang finally let out the breath that had been stuck in his throat and immediately said, "This sounds very much like the work of my master."

"May I ask where is Miss Chu now?"

Zhang Fuxiang shook his head slightly and said, "Since that night, there has been no news of Miss Chu. She hasn't even shown her face since then."

"Could he have been captured by the King of Chu, or has something unexpected happened?" Guo Yang speculated and denied.

Then he said firmly: "Although Sister Xu Zhi has an impatient temper, she will plan everything carefully before doing anything. It is impossible for her to massacre the Weiyang Marquis family without any preparation. She must have left a way out for herself in advance. It is very likely that she has already left Shengjing."

"Since we already have a clue, let's follow it and continue our search."

Li You suggested, "I will keep an eye on the Chu Mansion, while my nephew Guo Yang will go to Shenlinfang to check. I think if the Princess of Chu is really Fellow Daoist Xu Zhi, she must destroy the Weiyang Marquis' family, which may be related to that business."

Zhang Fuxiang pointed at himself and said, "Then I will continue to mingle in that small circle of aristocratic families and see if I can find out any useful information. I can also check where Zhuo Qing comes from.

"Brother, you have been investigating me for a long time. Have you found anything?"

At a boat party hosted by the children of aristocratic families, Princess Zhuoqing suddenly walked up to Zhang Fuxiang with a wine glass in hand and whispered softly.

Zhang Fuxiang's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly, "I don't know what Princess Zhuoqing means, but I don't quite understand."

Zhuo Qing's graceful body almost squeezed into Zhang Fuxiang's arms. The orchid fragrance from her mouth lingered around her ears. Her slender, jade-white fingers brushed across Zhang Fuxiang's cheek. The scene was so tempting.

The faces of the several princes who had been pursuing Zhuo Qing were now filled with anger, and they wished they could tear the guy in front of them to pieces.

But the evil woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and her coquettish voice went straight into Zhang Fuxiang's mind.

"You can hold a beautiful woman in your arms without getting distracted. This alone has exposed you. Most of the cultivators in this world don't cultivate their minds. How can they resist my charm? I don't know which Taoist disciple you are. I am also a Taoist. Please don't test me, okay?"

Before Zhang Fuxiang could answer, Princess Zhuoqing suddenly stood up, waved her sleeves, and said lazily, "This young man is extremely talented and is a distinguished guest whom this princess has admired for a long time. Please take a seat immediately."

Shenlinfang.

A narrow alley.

Several dark shadows appeared in front of Guo Yang.

"Whatever you are searching for, and perhaps you have found something, I advise you not to search any further. It will do no good to either you or me."

"This is Shengjing, not the provincial capital down there."

Guo Yang said coldly: "How dare you, a coward who hides his head and shows his tail, speak so arrogantly."

Before he finished speaking, five colors rotated behind him, instantly covering the surroundings and covering the people on their heads.

In just one round, several people on the opposite side were suppressed on the spot. Guo Yang walked forward with his brows tightly furrowed.

Because the people in front of him were just young cultivators practicing Qigong, and he looked into their eyes and examined their spirits.

Obviously someone is controlling him.
But just now, Guo Yang didn't feel anything unusual, which only meant that the other party was extremely good at this kind of spiritual and mysterious method.

Therefore, Guo Yang was cautious and stopped exploring. Instead, he concealed his breath, changed his appearance, and walked towards the place where the previous people had agreed to meet.

Prince Chu's Mansion.

The King of Chu brought out a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Li You, saying in a muffled voice: "My tea-making skills are not good, so you just have to deal with it."

"After you finish drinking, I have something to ask you."

Facing a Yang Body Venerable who could suddenly appear behind him without him noticing, Li You did not show any fear.

Still calmly speaking, "King Chu, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

The King of Chu first looked at Li You deeply, and then said in a deep voice, word by word, "Existences like you, are they possessed by evil spirits, or have they awakened their wisdom from past lives?"

"If reincarnation is true, why have I never seen it before you?"
