Chapter 406: Getting Wealth and Eliminating Disasters
"Feng Li has three businesses in Jiuzhu City. One of them is called Lingbo Tower, which is the leader of the brothel industry in Jiuzhu City. The woman is very mysterious. She is a seventh-level divine dramatist. No one has ever seen her true face. It is said that she is connected to a major force in the Boyun Continent."

Shi Qiyuan gave a brief introduction. He said that he had traveled to the chaotic Jiuzhu City and had a drink with his friends at Lingbo Tower.

Although he knew that most of the monks in Jiuzhu City were engaged in shady businesses and did all kinds of evil things behind the scenes, he did not expect that Fengli, such a delicate woman with a high value, would give up her comfortable life and run to Qiaojiao Mountain to rob people personally.

This time he has suffered a heavy blow and his property will also change hands.

You are a beautiful woman, but why do you want to be a thief?

Xu Yuanchang put away the two flying knives that were circling in the air and landed in front of the old man's corpse lying in the mud.

He took out a black bottle, pinched the soul-collecting technique with his hand, and quickly pointed his finger to collect the old man's broken soul into the bottle. Then he used his magic power to turn the old man's body over, and used the light rain technique to wash the old man's hideous and bloody face clean.

His hands were not idle. He quickly took off the silver ring and the silver circlet on the old man's wrist and collected all the treasures from his body, even the purple gold hairpin that held his hair together.

A flying knife stabbed into the old man's chest, piercing through his black clothes and entering the flesh only an inch.

Xu Yuanchang pulled out the seventh-level flying knife. The fact that he was able to kill the old man cleanly and efficiently was due to the proper tactics he had deduced and formulated.

He used the puppet soul as cannon fodder to delay the old man for a moment, then he used the invisible phantom waves of the magic glass mirror to influence the opponent, making him passive, delaying time for the subsequent hand gestures, and then used the illusion of floating life to kill him.

Even though the power of the illusion rules that he had comprehended was insufficient, he could still launch an unexpected soul attack using illusion as the sword, severely damaging the soul of the old man on the seventh floor, causing him to almost lose his defense ability in a short period of time.

In a fight between people of the same level, victory or defeat often depends on how to take advantage of conditions that are favorable to oneself.

His only advantage is that he can see into the subtle details of the world and his invisible form, which makes him invincible.

Pineapple in the dark used strange sword skills to launch several sneak attacks, but failed repeatedly. Seeing his old companion killed, he dared not stay here and fled long ago.

Shi Qiyuan was floating in the air and recognized the dead old man. After seeing that Fellow Daoist Xu was done, he took the initiative to say, "The old fellow you shot dead had a nickname called 'Drilling Dragon'. His subordinates all called him 'Master Hao'. It seems that he owned two or three shops. Brother Xu is amazing. He was able to kill a late seventh-floor old thief in just five moves under the siege of the Drilling Dragon and the Pineapple. It must have shocked all the peers. I admire you!"

There were two piercing knife wounds on the old man's forehead and neck.

He couldn't understand for a moment, how could Xu Yuanchang kill the burrowing dragon with just three willow-leaf flying knives?

Given the cunningness and rich combat experience of the drill dragon, and with the help of the pineapple, it is impossible for it to be killed by three seventh-level flying knives, or even a rain of flying knives.

Do you really think that an old fellow in the late seventh floor who had fought his way out of the chaotic area is made of mud?

He guessed that Brother Xu used his unknown magical powers to secretly plot against the burrowing dragon.

Xu Yuanchang collected the old man's corpse into his space and stored it separately. He still wanted to do something with his spiritual space. He smiled and said modestly: "Thank you for your praise, brother. It was just a fluke. I am still scared." He invited again: "I have to trouble you to accompany me to the Black Wind Sea to help me strengthen my reputation."

Shi Qiyuan naturally agreed and smiled.

He understood that the other party wanted him to be a witness, but was also worried that he might encounter Pineapple on the way and call in experts who would kill him out of desperation.

Xu Yuanchang did not leave in a hurry. He took out a black bottle, set up a small restriction to block the yang energy, then took out a shadow stone, activated it, and floated it in the air, releasing the remaining soul of the old man in the bottle.

Before he began to ask questions, the remnant soul's black energy transformed into the blurry figure of an old man, who clasped his hands and begged for mercy:

"Fellow Daoist, please be merciful and spare me this time. I was deceived and bewitched by that bitch Fengli. I coveted your wealth and treasures, and came to Qiaojiao Mountain to rob you. I am not capable enough, so I have no one to blame for my death. Please let my remaining soul go to the netherworld, and I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Drill Dragon, please stand up. I want to ask you a few questions. If your answers satisfy me, I can consider sending your remaining soul to the underworld."

Seeing that the other party was sensible, Xu Yuanchang decided not to torture the remaining soul and spoke in a gentle manner.

When the old man heard that there was still a chance to enter the netherworld and reincarnate, he hurriedly replied: "Fellow Daoist Xu, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

The road has come to an end in this life, but perhaps there will be a chance to walk it again in the next life.

The old man is like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. He will not give up easily and will not care about anything else.

Xu Yuanchang asked, "Who plotted against and murdered several of our Wuliu Mountain's fourth- and fifth-floor disciples a few days ago?"

"Friend Xu, you must know that all seven low-level disciples of Wuliu Mountain were killed by Fengli's 'Windless Sword'. That woman is not only a seventh-level divine performer, proficient in transformation, concealment, and concealment, but also good at sword control, which is not much worse than a seventh-level swordsman. She said that before you return, Friend Xu, you don't need me to take action, so as not to expose my whereabouts and leak the news. I can only use the earth escape technique, close combat and some bravery."

The old man didn't dare to say it too simply, so he just revealed the details of the woman who escaped alone.

He wanted to take the initiative and did not need to be asked questions by the Taoist priest who controlled the life and death of his remaining soul.

Xu Yuanchang was impressed by the woman's strange flying sword skills and invisibility skills, and continued to ask: "Who in Jiuzhu City or other continents ordered Fengli to come to deal with me? You can not tell the truth, but when I find out the truth, don't blame me for being cruel."

Shi Qiyuan was listening at the side, so there was no need for him to ask any questions.

He just needs to do his duty as a witness.

The blurry figure of the old man transformed by the residual soul trembled for a moment, and he said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I have fallen into such a miserable situation. There is no need to cover up for anyone. Fengli told me that after robbing you, she wanted to get one treasure first, and the other treasures would be divided equally. I asked her who was behind it, and she said no one was behind it. She also said that the opportunity was rare. Otherwise, in twenty or thirty years, when Brother Xu comprehends the power of rules, it will be impossible to rob..."

Xu Yuanchang, who was outside the photo stone, waved his hand to stop the remnant soul from going any further.

His magical attack was the evolution of the power of rules, and he didn't want the old man to say something like soul attack.

He controlled the direction of the interrogation in order to leave evidence that would be favorable to him.

If Shi Qiyuan, who was standing nearby, heard this and misunderstood that he had already condensed the power of rules, it would not be a big deal and would be more reasonable.

Xu Yuanchang asked again: "Even if you succeed in the robbery, don't you worry that Wuliushan will spend a lot of money to hire a magician to deduce and find out the robber? Then you will be alive to get the money but not live to enjoy it?"

The old man would not talk about the power of rules to make himself boring, so he honestly betrayed the woman and said, "Pineapple has a treasure that can cover up the disturbance of the heaven's secrets. It is a palm-sized disk with a black Bagua pattern inside and Zhou Tian star runes drawn on the outside."

"She even showed it to me to gain my trust, saying that a seventh-level magician would have no chance of finding any clues. Even if we spent a huge amount of money to invite Master An from the Cloud Bo Continent, it would take so long before he could figure it out. Alas, I was so blinded by greed that I followed her hundreds of thousands of miles to do this in an unfamiliar place. I regret it now."

Seeing that the evidence was sufficient, Xu Yuanchang asked a few more questions about the properties of Jiuzhu City and received satisfactory answers. The old man said that he would give all three properties of Jiuzhu City to him as compensation, just to be able to enter the netherworld.

Xu Yuanchang did not comment. Jiuzhu City does not allow outside sects to interfere in the management of shops. This is a rule formed over thousands of years, unless they want to support a group of forces, but Wuliu Mountain itself does not have enough power.

Any tedious business matters will be handed over to Senior Brother Cao for handling once we arrive in the Black Wind Sea.

With my brother’s wisdom that even a mosquito’s leg is still meat, he will definitely be able to squeeze out the benefits.

He put away the image stone, put the old man's remaining soul into a bottle, and threw it into the space. Later on the way, he would use his spiritual sense to ask Pineapple about some secrets, such as Pineapple's strange swordsmanship and invisibility.

He would not hand over the old man's remaining soul.

When it comes to one's own magical powers and secret techniques, even if the remaining soul is sent to the underworld, it will not be allowed to be taken away by others.

He took out the flying sword for communication, meditated for a moment, then raised his hand to send it out, so that his senior brother could understand the situation in advance so that he could prepare for it.

"Thank you for waiting, brother. I still have to pass by Wuliu Mountain."

"It's okay. There's no need for us to be polite. On the way, please tell me how you opened the Yunyin Secret Realm so that I can learn more."

Shi Qiyuan was very envious of Taoist Xu's good luck.

He had been training in the Black Wind Sea for more than 30 years, so how come he had never encountered the sea eye?
Of course, with his original cultivation level, being sucked into the sea eye would probably mean death.

He also felt sorry for his friend. The power of Wuliu Mountain was too weak. If the Yunyin Secret Realm was discovered by the monks of Hufeng Mountain, the price that Liuyun Sect would have to pay would be at least twice as much. That was a huge secret realm that had not been opened for eight thousand years.

As they were talking, the two of them landed on the open space in front of the mountain gate of Wuliu Mountain.

Xu Yuanchang released Peng Guihe, who was leading the way, from the Huanxian Ring Room and gave him a few instructions, telling him that he had killed a thief from the Seventh Floor who had done evil, but the other mastermind was still at large. He had to go to the Black Wind Sea, so the disciples in the sect should not go out for the time being.

After watching Peng Guihe, who was so happy that he lost his way, walk into the fog, Xu Yuanchang stretched out his hand to say hello, and flew to the northeast with Shi Qiyuan.

The two chatted all the way, and Xu Yuanchang also used his spiritual sense to interrogate the remaining soul of the burrowing dragon to learn more about the pineapple.

According to Zuandilong, after the truth is revealed, Pineapple will rush to Liuyun City or Boyun Continent as soon as possible, and take advantage of the only available time to take the cross-border teleportation formation and escape to the Great Wilderness Mountain in the Chaos Realm.

Otherwise, once Wuliushan takes the evidence to communicate with the monks of Liuyun Sect and pays a price to ask Liuyun Sect for help, Fengli will probably find it difficult to escape from Liuyun Domain.

Monks in their profession would rather start over than put their heads on someone else's belt.

When we arrived at the rocky island in the Black Wind Sea, the sun had just passed noon.

Cao Wanxin bowed to Shi Qiyuan, who had been accompanying him on the journey, and said "thank you for your hard work" to his junior brother, who had solved the case after a day and a night of traveling back and forth. He then brought the two of them to the circular stone fortress in the center of the island, where he met Si Shaoqiu, a great monk from the eighth floor of Liuyun Sect, who was already waiting there.

Xu Yuanchang briefly recounted the incident and took out the remains of the burrowing dragon and the photo stone for interrogating the remaining soul.

After reading the photo stone, Si Shaoqiu did not ask the witness Shi Qiyuan any more questions. A sneer appeared on his face and he said, "The forces in Jiuzhu City are getting bolder and bolder. They dare to set their sights on the heart of Liuyun Continent."

Looking at the young man standing beside him, he ordered, "Ji Cheng, tell the monks guarding the inter-boundary teleportation array on the three continents, if they find out that Pineapple from Jiuzhu City took the teleportation array, they must be captured, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

The man bowed and accepted the order, then hurried out of the stone fortress.

In fact, everyone knew that issuing an order to capture pineapples at this time would be of no avail.

What Cao Wanxin needs is the attitude of Liuyun Sect, and Liuyun Sect needs a reason with solid evidence to deter and suppress the complicated forces in Jiuzhu City, and warn all forces that Liuyun Domain is a place with rules.

Si Shaoqiu looked at the Taoist priest below with a gentle expression on his face. He smiled and said, "Xu Yuanzhang, you are amazing. You escaped from the sneak attack of two late seventh-floor monks by yourself without any damage, and even killed the earth-drilling dragon. It's amazing."

Xu Yuanchang hurriedly clasped his fists and replied respectfully: "Senior Si, you are too kind. I happen to be good at illusions for escaping. I narrowly escaped from their plot and took advantage of their unpreparedness to use that illusion weapon to confuse the earth-drilling dragon for a moment, and then I succeeded in counterattacking and killing it."

"It is rare to be neither arrogant nor impatient. Go down and rest first."

Si Shaoqiu nodded slightly.

She knew that the seventh-floor monk who mastered the power of the rules of illusion was very good at escaping and could not be surrounded and killed by three or two people of the same level.

What's more, Taoist Xu has a very impressive seventh-level phantom weapon treasure in his hand.

Pineapples and earthworms failed miserably and suffered a huge loss.

Xu Yuanchang and Shi Qiyuan hurriedly bowed and took their leave.

Cao Wanxin stayed to discuss the major issue of industrial replacement, but he was only talking with two other cultivators from the seventh floor of Liuyun Sect.

Si Shaoqiu didn't ask about the specific and complicated matters and went straight to the backyard.

Soon after Xu Yuanchang and Shi Qiyuan left the sect, they went their separate ways. Shi Qiyuan was going to the sect's temporary base to visit his senior brother who was stationed there.

Xu Yuanchang returned to the courtyard and went into his room to meditate and regulate his breathing.

After dark, Cao Wanxin came back refreshed. Seeing his junior brother opening the door and coming out, he laughed and said, "Junior brother, you are really the lucky star of Wuliu Mountain. We have received confirmed news that the thief Fengli escaped from Liuyun City in advance by taking the cross-border teleportation formation. It will be almost impossible for her to return to Liuyun Territory in the future."

"Her assets, the three shops of Zuandilong, and the staff will be divided equally between Wuliu Mountain, Liuyun Sect, and Dongque Mountain of Boyun Continent. I will exchange them for two shops in Liuyun City, and you can take over next year."

"There are also some materials and resources that will be distributed in the next few days."
