The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 77 Information Exposure
Following Duan Bai and others, about thirty miles away, Zhang Jingyuan was hanging slowly not far or near.

Duan Bai and the others probably never imagined that the marks they made on their bodies had already been eaten by Duan Bai and would remain for at least three months, instead of just being slapped on their bodies.

He had already considered before that if it were simply patted on the body like Mu Lanhua, wouldn't it be gone as soon as Duan Bai took a shower or changed clothes?

It was about two hours ago. He had just come out of the cave and before he passed through the waterfall, he smelled a faint smell of ruby ​​grass. He immediately knew that Duan Bai might be here, because he was there before. , and I haven’t smelled any ruby ​​grass around the lake.

Putting on the invisibility cloak, he went out to take a look, and sure enough, Duan Bai and several Qi Refining monks were like headless flies, wandering around the lake, almost turning over the ground around the lake.

But little did they know that they had been right under their noses.

To be honest, after doing this now, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly felt reluctant to sell the invisibility cloak.

Although the invisibility cloak did not improve his combat power in any way, it was quite easy to do such sneaky things, at least until he met the foundation-building monks.

"Let you live a little longer first."

Looking at Duan Bai and others from a distance, Zhang Jingyuan said with a playful expression.

He was not afraid of Duan Bai and the other seven, he felt that not only did they have Qi Refining Dzogchen cultivators, but they were also powerful in numbers.

He just didn't want to do anything in Canglang Demonic Mountain. Since Duan Bai's family already knew that Duan Bai came to find him, but these people died in Canglang Demonic Mountain, then he naturally became the biggest suspect. .

But if he leaves Canglang Demon Mountain, it is best to be near Yongjia City or Yunhua City. As long as his hands and feet are clean, no one will doubt him.

After all these years, he didn't believe that the Duan family didn't even have any enemies.

Besides, can't he still pretend to be a magic cultivator?

Anyway, no matter what, the deaths of Duan Bai and his seven people will not be related to him, a mountain remnant who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, thousands of miles away, and whose whereabouts were unknown.

"What's wrong, Uncle Liu?"

It felt like Uncle Liu was always looking in one direction behind him, so Duan Bai couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. I always have a bad feeling, as if someone is watching us. It must be my imagination."

He glanced behind again suspiciously, and after confirming that there was indeed no one, Uncle Liu said calmly.

But after all, he took out the survey mirror and looked at it carefully to make sure that the token was still in the lake and there was no trace of movement. Only then did he feel relieved.

How did Uncle Liu know that Zhang Jingyuan threw away the token as soon as he came out of the waterfall?

He had no hope, so he took Duan Bai's token and ran to Yongjia City to eat and drink.

After all, once Duan Bai and the others are dead, and he still dares to take Duan Bai's token and use it in Yongjia City, then I'm afraid Duan Bai's father and ancestor will make a show for him. He would rather kill the wrong one than let it go. coming.

"Some advantages are not so easy to take advantage of. If you don't take advantage of them, you will die." Zhang Jingyuan said quietly.

"Uncle Liu, the older you get, the less courageous you become. If this Jingyuan saw us coming to your door, he would be a ghost if he couldn't run as fast as a rabbit. How dare he have the courage to follow us."

Duan Bai rolled his eyes and said incredulously.

He now somewhat understands Uncle Liu, why he has not broken through to the foundation building stage for so long, because he is too timid.

Zhang Jingyuan is a little grasshopper at the fourth level of Qi refining. Well, he admits that Zhang Jingyuan's actual strength is at least in the late stage of Qi refining.

But you must know that they have six Qi Refining Stages and one Qi Refining Dzogchen. How dare Zhang Jingyuan follow them behind.

"Master Sun's words make sense."

Uncle Liu said something casually, and then he did whatever he needed to do.

It took Zhang Jingyuan almost ten days to get to Dahu from Liujiacun. But now, it is not known whether Duan Bai was eager for revenge or because his target was determined. However, in just five days, Zhang Jingyuan followed Duan Bai and others. , came to Liujiacun.

After arriving at Liujia Village and staying at the inn, a monk in the middle stage of Qi Refining came over immediately to pay his respects.

"Xiaotian, is there any new information at home?"

Duan Bai sat on the main seat with a golden sword, but it was Uncle Liu who asked the question. The thirty-year-old man in front of him is one of the sons who have been trained by the Duan family since childhood. Although his cultivation level is not high and he only has five spiritual roots, he is more intelligent than others and has been responsible for collecting and transmitting information at home.

"Uncle Liu, after receiving the summons from Master Sun, we started to investigate this person named Zhang Jingyuan, and took his portrait to the villages around Canglang Demon Mountain to ask if we had seen this person, but basically found nothing. This The man seemed to have appeared out of thin air from the ground. No one in the twenty or so villages around Canglang Demon Mountain claimed to have seen him, and the last place he appeared was Liujia Village."

"Here he met a man who often sells fake magic weapons at Sanpo Fair. The man's name is Liu Jinhai. Zhang Jingyuan also bought five things from Liu Jinhai. This is our investigation of those five things. , nothing has been investigated yet.”

Duan Xiaotian said calmly, and put all his investigation records, including Liu Jinhai's testimony, the drawings of the five things Liu Jinhai sold to Zhang Jingyuan, and the investigation reports on these five things, one by one, in Duan Bai In front of Uncle Liu.

"In other words, after all your efforts, you still haven't found this person named Zhang Jingyuan? Did he really pop out of the mud?"

Without even looking at these investigation reports, Duan Bai said angrily.

Duan Xiaotian had been talking for a long time, but he just meant the same thing. Not only could they not find Zhang Jingyuan's person, but all the clues were also broken!
Uncle Liu glanced at Duan Bai with a complicated look. Why did he feel that Duan Bai was incompetent now?

If something doesn't go as well as he wants, how can he be the master of the Duan family in the future?

Well, if Duan Bai can't build the foundation, it is estimated that when he dies of old age, the master will still be alive, and even the eldest young master will not be able to take charge of the family, let alone Duan Bai, the young master Sun.

However, Duan Bai's performance this time strengthened his idea of ​​​​advising the master to take concubines and have children for the Duan family.

After all, if it were the Duan family, and Duan Bai was the heir, the Duan family would be destroyed!

"Master Dasun, don't be impatient first, and then listen to Xiaotian continue."

After taking a look at Duan Xiaotian's investigation records, especially the testimony of Liu Jinhai, and the investigation reports on the five items, Uncle Liu found that there was indeed nothing useful.

After all, Liu Jinhai had only met Zhang Jingyuan once, and some of the five items were forged by Liu Jinhai, some were collected from others, and it was unknown how many people had passed through their hands.

And so many people didn't see anything extraordinary about these things. How could Zhang Jingyuan, a young boy, see it?

He was more inclined to think that Liu Jinhai's line was really useless, and the five things Zhang Jingyuan bought were nothing special, he just wanted to buy them.

Duan Xiaotian glanced at Uncle Liu gratefully, and then said: "We really didn't gain anything from the mountain survivors, and we couldn't find any trace of Zhang Jingyuan's existence. So, we changed our minds and considered whether this Zhang Jingyuan, It is possible that they are not the remnants of the mountains, but the people living in the city."

Hearing this, Duan Bai's expression changed drastically. He wanted to refute something, but he found that Duan Xiaotian's words made sense.

"After inquiries, we found more than 300 people named Zhang Jingyuan in the entire Yunhua Star. Then after a large amount of data comparison, we locked in a young man named Zhang Jingyuan in Yanyang City. He was born in a mortal family and was widowed. Raised by his mother alone, this boy is sixteen years old. He just took the spiritual root test this year and was finally rated as a fourth-class mid-level..."

Before Duan Xiaotian finished speaking, Duan Bai shouted loudly: "This is impossible. Zhang Jingyuan cannot be only sixteen years old. He now has at least the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining. His true state cannot be lower than the sixth level of Qi Refining. You tell me I, a fourth-level mid-level mortal, have cultivated to the sixth level of Qi refining in just over half a year, are you kidding me?"

"Furthermore, based on Zhang Jingyuan's familiarity with Canglang Demonic Mountain, he has lived in Canglang Demonic Mountain for at least five years, or even more than ten years. You can't tell me that when Zhang Jingyuan was six years old, he lived in Canglang Demonic Mountain. Are the Yaoshan guys hanging out together?"

After calmly listening to Duan Bai's roar and venting, Duan Xiaotian said: "I have a portrait of Zhang Jingyuan here that I kept from Yunhuaxing Yamen. Master Sun, please take a look to see if it is the person you are looking for."

With that said, Duan Xiaotian took out a portrait from his arms and handed it to Duan Bai.

As soon as he took the portrait, Duan Bai felt like he was struck by lightning. He was stunned for a moment. If the person in the portrait was not Zhang Jingyuan, who could he be?

Zhang Jingyuan always had a faint smirk on his lips, which he would never forget.

"It's really him!"

After a few breaths, Duan Bai weakly threw the portrait in his hand to the ground. Now he really had to accept that the person who tortured him before was the sixteen-year-old fourth-level person who had just tested his spiritual roots for more than half a year. A middle-grade boy.

As for how he reached the sixth level of Qi Refining in just six months and possessed the strength of the late stage of Qi Refining, he didn't know and didn't want to know, but that was the fact.

"This son cannot be kept. Xiaotian, please summon him now and ask someone to take down his mother first. Once such a person is allowed to escape, the destruction of our Duan family will not be far away."

Uncle Liu said decisively.

He doesn't care what adventures Zhang Jingyuan has, but in just six months, Zhang Jingyuan has accomplished this. Once he grows up, he really can't imagine it.

"Actually, I don't want to do it now."

However, at this moment, a black shadow passed through the window silently and said in a sad tone.
