Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

It's no different from shifting the blame.

"Is there anything special about the Youyu tribe?" White Peacock was quite interested in these secrets from ancient times.

"He likes to be blindfolded, and then hold the 'Eye of Three Lights' in his hand to replace his sight. It can be understood as holding a magical eye weapon."

Although Bu Miao was quite interested, she knew the discussion was going in the wrong direction:

"We are now investigating this disciple as a clue. Even if her name was replaced by someone else, we can still find out who she had close contact with recently."

At this time, the benefits of Chu Wuzhi's newly activated relationships were revealed.

He saluted Elder Shoujiao and said:

"Senior, could you please investigate this 'You Yuqing'? If I were to encounter a five-toed pig while visiting the common people, I would definitely hire an escort agency to bring them here at a substantial cost!"

"You're welcome, young friend. I'll arrange it for you right away!"

Elder Shoujiao summoned his disciples and quickly found a senior disciple who was in charge of the affairs of Jieshi City to investigate which disciple this "You Yuqing" was.

The eldest disciple recalled for a moment and said:

"She was from the outer sect and wasn't recruited by any of the elders. I remember she's dead. She was responsible for gaining the trust of the Jieshi City Lord so that she could trick him into amassing wealth. During the Dragon King Ceremony, an assassin of unknown origin attacked and killed her. Even the City Lord was assassinated."

Elder Shoujiao did not follow this matter personally. Collecting wealth and treasures from a small secular town was not an important operation and did not require his personal involvement, but he was clear about the subsequent situation.

"I remember that after the assassination, the operation in Jieshi City was forced to end, right?"

The eldest disciple of Elder Shoujiao's lineage nodded:

"Yes, but it didn't have much of an impact, because we had already taken away the valuables. It was just that we missed out on the last wave."

The most valuable things in the treasure house of Lord Feijiao City must have been taken away by high-level officials such as Elder Shoujiao, but they looked down on gold, silver and money, so the disciples divided up these mundane things.

At the time when Chu Wuzhi entered the scene, Jieshi City was already in ruins, with no money to be squeezed out. There were more merchants than buyers, and not many customers could afford the things there.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect planned to organize a publicity campaign, claiming that they wanted to expand Jieshi City and attract more merchants to buy those useless shops with large sums of money. Once they got the money, they would leave.

Now that this wave is missing, the disciples are the ones who feel sorry, and Elder Shoujiao is too lazy to care.

Therefore, even if an assassination occurred, he was too lazy to investigate it.

Chu Wuji was stunned when he heard this information:

"So he was just casually beaten to death... What's the origin of this 'You Yu Qing'?"

The Hehuan Sect is very serious about inquiring about the backgrounds of the disciples who join. No matter how dark their resume is, they will accept them as long as they can practice.

The eldest disciple walked around the storeroom for a while, flipped through a document, found the corresponding location, and said:

"In her early years, she was just a village girl, with a name like Tieniu. She met a few casual cultivators and learned the basics of cultivation. Then she changed her name and joined the Hehuan Sect. Later, she learned the art of disguise and gave herself a beautiful face. Otherwise, no one would practice with her."

It turned out that he had changed his name. I was wondering how he could be so weak that he died in one hit.

No matter how weak the members of Wuzhong are, they are still at the same level. Even the weakest Wuqi people have magical skills that surpass the vast majority of cultivators.

"Is it a coincidence? He just happened to change his name?" Aunt Qingshe muttered.

Xuan Yi said lightly:

"How could there be so many coincidences? With a village woman's experience, the most she could do is take the surname of someone from the neighboring village. How could she directly take the surname of an ancient tribe? Most likely, those wandering cultivators used her as a shield to infiltrate the Hehuan Sect."

Chu Wuji agreed with this inference:

"Then it seems that we need to focus on the independent cultivators she has come into contact with. I just don't know if we can find them."

Aunt Green Snake didn't say anything. Her snake head was resting on the collar of her clothes, her eyes fixed on one of Chu Wuzhi's sleeves.

That's her cave...

How could Xuan Yi just move in as if nothing had happened and now chat with her with a clear conscience!

Chapter 433: Yu Shiqi’s proactive contact?

Chu Wuji looked at Elder Shoujiao and said:

"Senior, are there any of those independent cultivators that Yu Qing has come into contact with? Is it convenient to contact them?"

Elder Shoujiao was looking at Chu Wuzhi with regret, feeling very sad.

Just now he didn't notice the demon on Chu Wuzhi's body, because Bai Sujin and others were deliberately suppressing their aura, but after a few words, Elder Shoujiao noticed their existence and their extraordinary strength.

Humans and demons have different paths. How can this young man hang out with the demons?

He sighed in regret and threw the question to his eldest disciple, saying:

"Can these people be found?"

"Those wandering cultivators and Yu Qing have appeared in the Hehuan Sect's holy land before, and they even built a small cave nearby. I wonder if they are still around there."

The Hehuan Sect only conducts strict background checks upon the initiation of the sect, but the supervision becomes lax afterwards. If they do not see each disciple occasionally, they may not know the whereabouts of every disciple. They are not like the immortals, who watch over the initiators as if they were treasures and rush to rescue them in time at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Opening a cave near the holy land? Does the Hehuan Sect also rent out its own territory like Kunlun Ruins?" Chu Wuji asked curiously.

"No, it's in a remote place outside the Holy Land. It's just like using the spiritual energy from the corners of the Holy Land. It's not worth building a cave. The predecessors probably left a lot of abandoned ones. We can just use them directly."

The eldest disciple spoke very vaguely in front of outsiders.

If you have a lower EQ, you would just say, "This is a deserted place with plenty of open space for you to use as your cave."

He took out a feng shui map. The terrain on it had been specially painted, making it difficult for outsiders to understand.

In fact, this is the holy land map of the Hehuan Sect.

"Lady Saint, if you want to try to find those wandering cultivators, you might want to look around here. I remember that Yu Qing's cave is probably within this area."

The implication was that he would not accompany her to look for her, and that he was already being very considerate by cooperating and chatting to this extent.

The guy guarding the door needs to respect Bu Miao, but as the eldest disciple of Elder Shoujiao, he will not obey the orders of the Saint Lady, because he has sufficient background and strength... and can run away!

Besides, Elder Shoujiao was right next to them, so when beating the dog, one had to look at the owner.

Chu Wuji didn't want anyone else to follow him, so he said:

"Okay, then we'll look for it later, no need to bother!"

Saint Hehuan followed with a polite remark:

"Elder Shoujiao, if we do find the suspicious person later, we will definitely not forget your contribution."

The man in the Confucian robe with a strange face nodded calmly, without even glancing at the pure and beautiful saint. Instead, his gaze fell on Chu Wuji, and his expression became meaningful, full of appreciation of an elder who is promoting a younger generation.

He did not say anything bad about those demons to their faces. They were able to hide their aura under his nose until now, so their strength must be at least the same as his.

Elder Shoujiao gave a heartfelt exhortation:

"My friend, you are so confused! I hope you will come to your senses and return to the right path. If you are desperate in the future, bring a five-toed pig and come to me. I will definitely find a place to take you in!"

Chu Wuji was numb, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Bu Miao trying to hold back a smile.

It’s so hard to bear!

......

The process of seeking clues from Elder Shoujiao went more smoothly than expected.

Not only did they not encounter the imagined situation of "evil cultivators challenging the status of the saint", but even the investigation clues went exceptionally smoothly and they did not return empty-handed.

After they left Hongchen Ferry, Bu Miao finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When her smile faded, she gave a thumbs-up to the speechless Chu Wuji:

"I admire you so much! I thought White Peacock was the one who was good at getting along with everyone, but I didn't expect Mr. Chu to be the hero among men~

Not only does he have such a close relationship with the immortals, but now that he has come to the territory of the Hehuan Sect, he is actually chatting enthusiastically with Elder Shoujiao, as if they were old friends right away! "

The Hehuan Sect's ethos was not bound by chastity, but it was not without limits.

In the past, the Hehuan Sect did not have high requirements for Taoist partners. You could change them frequently, but at least they had to be of the opposite sex.

Otherwise, the yin and yang will be out of balance and the exercises will not work.

The current Hehuan Sect, after having Elder Shoujiao, feels that it was a bit harsh in the past, and as long as the Taoist partner behaves like a human being, it is fine.

It can be seen that Elder Shoujiao is so different that even the evil cultivators think he is a bit weird and cannot talk to him.

The several branches within the Hehuan Sect only interacted with Elder Shoujiao in a superficial way, maintaining a superficial friendship between fellow disciples.

Cases like Chu Wuji's are rare!

Xuan Yi couldn't help but feel worried. She and Chu Wuji had been separated for too long and didn't know much about his growth in the past year. She asked with concern:

"Bai Sujin taught you this?"

Bai Sujin didn't want to pay any attention to Xuanyi. She was the one who ruined everything for her!

She said indifferently, "Xiaoqing taught her bad things."

After losing her territory, Aunt Green Snake felt that there was nothing left to be nostalgic for. She said weakly:

"Sister, go fight Xuan Yi and leave the territory to me..."

Chu Wuji was afraid that the two mothers would fight over something that was not true, so he said:

"I was just playing along. I had to force myself to talk in order to gather intelligence smoothly. Otherwise, Elder Shoujiao might not have specially called in his disciples to cooperate with us in searching for clues!"

Saint Hehuan stopped teasing. She returned to her normal expression and agreed:

"That's true. In the Demonic Sect, everyone isn't very close. They've shown great kindness by allowing us to investigate. Whether or not we find any clues is irrelevant to you.

Let me lead the way to the place on the feng shui map."

The white peacock asked:

"Is there anything I need to be careful about? After all, we're close to the Hehuan Sect's holy land. If we're not careful, we might get into unnecessary conflicts and delay our trip."

The three big dragons on Chu Wu Ji's body alone are enough to make him feel confident in not fearing any trouble, but too much friction can still be annoying.

Saint Hehuan shrugged her shoulders and sighed softly:

"I'm back near the sect's holy land. With my identity, I won't have any troubles. It's actually me who needs to worry."

"Why?" The white peacock was puzzled.

Chu Wuji thought of the time when they met at Tinglei Ridge, when Bu Miao was besieged by a group of evil cultivators, and he was probably worried about this.

"Will anyone be concerned about your status?"

"Right. The Saint Maiden candidates are like this. Every time one of them dies, another one comes along. It's just like the power struggles among the royal families of those countries."

Bu Miao used to be close friends and playmates with several girls of the same generation. They were the elders' first disciples and grew up together. At that time, Bu Miao did not quite understand the intrigues and deceptions within the magic sect.

After she became the Saint of the sect, the atmosphere changed. She went to train with her peers and close friends to fight against demons.

Before the demon was dead, her close friends started to attack her, catching Bu Miao off guard. If the demon had not pointed its spear at them at that time, Bu Miao felt that she was in great danger.

By the way, the demon at that time was the Scorpion Spirit who was unable to control herself. When she was out of control, she was much stronger than when she was in control of herself. This was really a helpless thing.

From then on, Bu Miao would rather trust people outside than give his trust to his colleagues in the sect.

Colleagues, colleagues, they will show their fangs if you are not careful.

Sometimes she really envied the mutual trust and mutual assistance among the immortal monks.

Unfortunately, her starting point in Bu Miao was in the Demonic Sect, and it would be useless to move elsewhere.

Even if she killed an elder of the Hehuan Sect, she could not use it as a token of allegiance to the immortals, because in the eyes of the immortals, infighting among the evil cultivators was too normal.

You can't expect everyone to believe that you have turned from evil to good just because you have finished your internal struggle and decided the winner, right?

The number of evil cultivators killed by the high-level evil cultivators in the demonic path is probably more than that of the immortal cultivators.

It's useless for Bu Miao to betray the sect. Now he is only being hostile to by some disciples. If he really betrays his master, the elders will not mind taking action in secret.

It is true that neither side is human.

......

We walked for quite a while, and for almost half a day there was no sign of human habitation, not even a single bird was visible.

Chu Wuji never thought that the holy land of the Hehuan Sect was in such a remote place.

The ancestor of the Hehuan Sect was also a genius, able to find such a place.

"It's so remote, and you haven't arrived yet?" Chu Wuji was surprised.
