Chapter 198 Another Incident
Daqian Immortal Kingdom, the well-deserved Supreme Immortal City, is of course the Daqian Immortal Capital, also known as Qiandu.
This fairy city has a history of eight thousand years.
There is no controversy at all about the second fairy city, which is the capital of Shu.
The history of the capital of Shu is much longer than that of Qiandu, with a history of tens of thousands of years.
In addition to Qiandu and Shudu, there are several fairy cities, which can be called large fairy cities. Among them, there are eight in Qianzhou and five in Shuzhou.
In Qianzhou, there are Yujing, Wanxing, Taixu, Chixiao, Jinyun, Baxing, Zhenyao, and Yuding.
Shuzhou, on the other hand, is divided into two parts: South Dou, Zhen North, Wanfa, Pingnan, and Tongyun.
What Han Yi saw at this moment was Jinyun Fairy City, one of the large fairy cities.
The grandeur of Jinyun Immortal City is of course far less than that of Qiandu and Shudu, but it is also much more shocking to Han Yi than other giant cities.
This large city is more than ten times larger than the five immortal cities outside Xuandan Sect, namely Duping, Dongding, Likang, Tongbao, and Hongluan combined. However, compared with Qiandu or Shudu, it is Less than one percent of the two one-state central fairy cities.
Outside Jinyun Immortal City, there were no monks from the Six Tribes of Dagan patrolling the city. However, when entering the Immortal City, Han Yi noticed that the spiritual consciousness of the Jindan monks swept over his body.
but.
The spiritual consciousness scanned was not particularly detailed, and was just a routine inspection.
Han Yi first followed the information given by Liu Ruyan and went straight to Wanxian Pavilion.
That's right, it's not Xuanxian Pavilion, but Wanxian Pavilion.
After entering the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion, Han Yi showed the Ten Thousand Immortals Token. The shopkeeper who received him had a respectful expression. A foundation-building monk who can possess the Ten Thousand Immortals Token is by no means a simple foundation-building monk. In the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Immortals Token, It is for important customers. Only such customers whose strength or financial resources exceed those of ordinary monks are qualified to receive the Ten Thousand Immortals Order.
"Shopkeeper, look at this sword for me."
Han Yi took out the damaged black light broken sword and handed it to the shopkeeper with an angry look on his face.
"This sword is called the Black Light Sword. I bought it from Xuanxian Pavilion half a year ago. I just entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and faced off against a demon cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. This sword was killed by that sword. Demon cultivator, use your innate magical power to crush it."
"Hmph, you are so angry at me. Isn't this a complete deception?"
"Come and help me identify whether this sword is a lower-grade spiritual sword?"
"If so, I have to go find the shopkeeper named Zhuo Qun to settle the score."
Han Yi's appearance at this moment is not his original appearance, nor is it the appearance of Han Yi on Earth.
Instead, he transformed into a qi practitioner brother he met at Xiaolingxu Peak. That senior brother was tall and thick, with a fleshy face, huge pupils, and a terrifying look. At first glance, he looked like a type that was not easy to mess with. His aura also maintains his true cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building.
This is his plan.
It took him ten days to get from Qiandu to Jinyun Immortal City. During these ten days, some superficial clues had been wiped out long ago. It would not be easy to investigate.
Moreover, if someone really targets Xuanxian Pavilion, it is absolutely impossible not to expect that Xuandan Sect will send people to investigate later. Will it set a trap for the monks who come to investigate later?
The possibility of this guess was very high, so Han Yi decided to break out of the script framework and chose to examine the disappearance of Senior Brother Zhuo Qun from a more peripheral perspective, not as a monk of Xuan Dan Sect.
Wanxian Pavilion was his first stop.
The shopkeeper in the later stage of foundation building respectfully took the Black Light Broken Sword, placed it on the table, and began to use probing spells to taste it carefully, and to identify it through vision, touch, spiritual consciousness, mana, etc.
After appraising for a full quarter of an hour, he put down the broken sword. After all, according to the requirements of the pavilion, for the monks who have the Ten Thousand Immortals Order, the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion needs to provide the best service.
"Fellow Daoist, this sword of yours was indeed a spiritual sword before it fell down the ranks. It is completely black in color, with the word "black light" printed on the sword. However, this sword was originally a broken sword, and the tip of the sword is The time of rupture should have been close to eighty years."
The shopkeeper's face was a little confused, because Han Yi said that the sword was in good condition when he bought it from Xuanxian Pavilion, but he determined that from various data, this spiritual sword was indeed broken by nearly 80 years. Years have passed.
"However, this crack that spread from the cross-section of the broken sword to the hilt only appeared recently."
In the end, although the shopkeeper was confused, he still made a conclusion after professional identification techniques.
"In short, the name of this sword should be Black Light. It is a spiritual sword. Eighty years ago, the tip of the sword was cut off. It fell from a magic weapon to a top-quality magic weapon. In recent years, it has been mixed with some hard weapons. The collision of the magic weapon caused the sword to crack, and it was on the verge of being completely scrapped."
Han Yi transformed into a strong man with a sinister face. He had to admire the shopkeeper's professionalism in his heart, but he snorted heavily on his face. This sound was just a loud voice and had no other effect, but it also It attracted the attention of other monks around him.
"It's a joke. This sword was obviously sold to me by Zhuo Qun, the shopkeeper of Xuanxian Pavilion. I'm not blind. Of course I can see whether the sword has a point or not, unless Zhuo Qun used a grafting method to replace the sword. , set a trap for me."
"Shopkeeper, let's go, follow me to Xuanxian Pavilion and confront Zhuo Qun. He dares to sell me fake magic weapons. I must smash his sign."
Han Yiteng stood up with a loud sound and was about to walk outside.
Although his face was fierce, Han Yi's heart was already tense at this moment. What he did did not exceed the line. In addition, with the Ten Thousand Immortals Order, even the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion would never do anything to him.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay."
The shopkeeper who appraised the Black Light Broken Sword quickly called Han Yi, with a troubled look on his face: "Fellow Taoist, even if you go to Xuanxian Pavilion now, you won't be able to find Zhuo Qun."
Hearing this, Han Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't expect that he would be rewarded at the first stop.
His original plan was to make a scene in Wanxian Pavilion first and give everyone a certain impression. As for the shopkeeper, he guessed that it would be absolutely impossible for him to go out with him.
Next, he will go to Xuanxian Pavilion to falsely accuse Zhuo Qun of selling the Black Light Broken Sword to him. Anyway, Zhuo Qun is missing. He also knows about Zhuo Qun, plus various information obtained from Liu Ruyan. , no matter what Xuanxian Pavilion said, it couldn't be said against him.
By then, he was the creditor of Xuanxian Pavilion. After a big fuss, he firmly demanded an explanation from Xuanxian Pavilion. However, Zhuo Qun had disappeared, and only Zhuo Qun's apprentice, Wei Tushen, was left in Xuanxian Pavilion. Wei Tushen naturally had no way to deal with this situation.
Next, Han Yi will go to Zhuo Qun openly, with the purpose of taking revenge.
In this way, something should be gained.
Of course, this was Han Yi's initial idea. In another capacity, he would intervene in the disappearance of Zhuo Qun, and then take one step at a time. If an enemy beyond his own strength appeared, he would naturally choose to issue an inspection order and borrow the help of Da Gan. The strength of the six tribes even directly hid in the palace of the six tribes of Da Gan, waiting for Zhuge Wuyou's arrival.
but.
He didn't expect that even an ordinary shopkeeper in Wanxian Pavilion would know that Zhuo Qun was missing. Something must have happened during the ten days he was on the road.
"Um?"
The thoughts in his heart flickered. Han Yi turned his head and raised his thick brows. In his doubtful expression, a ferocious aura was invisible, which made the shopkeeper's face change slightly. Han Yi's appearance was really too... Too fierce, as if if they disagree, a fight will start the next moment.
Although there are Jindan monks sitting in the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion, they will not interfere unless it is absolutely necessary. Especially Han Yi's behavior is reasonable and not inappropriate. He does not scare him or use his momentum to intimidate him.
"Can't find it? What do you mean?"
Although it was doubtful, Han Yi vividly demonstrated the aura of drawing out his sword and killing people at the next moment.
The shopkeeper touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
"Don't be anxious, fellow Taoist. Sit down first and let me explain it to you slowly."
This time, Han Yi did not refuse. He walked back to the shopkeeper and sat down. The other monks around him looked away when they saw that there was no good show to watch. Han Yi, who was walking back, noticed another spiritual consciousness. Scanning his body, he was already prepared, calm and unresponsive.
"Fellow Taoist, to tell you the truth, Zhuo Qun from Xuanxian Pavilion disappeared ten days ago." The shopkeeper explained.
Han Yi was confused: "Missing? Do you mean he is dead? What about my sword?"
Han Yi didn't beat around the bush, showing an expression of obvious disbelief, and asked again before the shopkeeper finished speaking.
"Moreover, how did you know that he was dead? You Wanxian Pavilion and Xuanxian Pavilion are business rivals. Did you kill him?"
Han Yi's words frightened the shopkeeper. His face straightened and he suddenly became serious.
"Fellow Taoist, don't talk nonsense. I, Wanxian Pavilion, have been working in Da Da for so many years and have never seen anything bad. No matter how bad it is, I will never attack a shopkeeper."
Although Han Yi felt that it was impossible for Wanxian Pavilion to do it, this possibility was not completely impossible.
There is a saying that was circulated in my previous life:
False business wars are strategizing and intrigues. Both parties fight back and forth in the business war and win by outsmarting them.
A real business war involves taking secret photos over the wall, poisoning drugs, snatching official seals, snatching computers, and signing fake contracts. It is rough and direct.
Therefore, Wanxian Pavilion is not without suspicion of committing a crime, but this suspicion is very small.
"Tell me, what happened? I just came back from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, and you told me that Zhuo Qun was missing. After you finish speaking, I will go to Xuanxian Pavilion to have a look, and I will naturally know."
Han Yi's expression was still confused, but the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. The monk in front of him with the Ten Thousand Immortals Order was not an unreasonable person. It was best if he could communicate.
"Fellow Taoist, even if you go to Xuanxian Pavilion now, you probably won't be able to find anyone."
"Zhuo Qun of Wanxian Pavilion disappeared. His disciple, Wei Disciple Shen, went crazy on the spot in Xuanxian Pavilion on the third day after his disappearance. He killed three qi-training monks who entered Xuanxian Pavilion to buy magic weapons, and then He even rushed out of Xuanxian Pavilion and attacked the monks who were passing by, but was killed on the spot. "
"These are the conclusions reached by the investigation of the Six Departments of Da Gan. Now the monks of Xuandan Sect are required not to leave the station. They need to wait for people from Xuandan Sect to come to the Immortal Officials Department to cooperate with the investigation before the formation that seals Xuanxian Pavilion can be lifted. ”
"Furthermore, I heard that the order was given by someone from the Demon Slayer Army. I don't know why the Demon Slayer Army is involved."
"This matter is already making a big fuss. The entire Jinyun Immortal City is aware of it. Fellow Taoist go out and find a restaurant, inn or business to inquire, and you will naturally know whether it is true or false."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking in one breath, Han Yi was greatly shocked, but he still suppressed his expression and remained unchanged.
"Really?" Han Yi still looked a little unbelieving.
"That's true." The shopkeeper responded resolutely.
"Doesn't that mean that I can't find the creditor for this sword?"
"No, Xuanxian Pavilion is the property of Xuandan Sect. I can go to other immortal cities to find Xuanxian Pavilion, but words are not enough. There is no evidence."
"No, I have to go to Xuanxian Pavilion to take a look. Even if the person is dead, the magic tools and treasures in the pavilion are definitely too early. I have to compensate me with a magic tool to make up for the price of selling a fake sword."
"Hmph!"
Han Yi snorted heavily, turned around and walked away. He took two steps and turned back before the shopkeeper behind him breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, if you need the shopkeeper to testify that there is a problem with this sword, the shopkeeper should not refuse."
"Of course, I will pay and make you satisfied."
After saying this, Han Yi left with murderous intent and headed straight for Xuanxian Pavilion.
Behind him, the shopkeeper wiped his sweat again. For some reason, he always felt that Han Yi was like a ferocious demon tiger, which made him terrified and even felt like facing the golden elixir in the pavilion.
Finally, he sent the evil man away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side.
Han Yi strode out of the Wanxian Pavilion, and then, following the address given by Liu Ruyan, flew up on his sword and headed straight for the Xuanxian Pavilion.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he had already landed outside the Xuanxian Pavilion.
At this moment.
The Xuanxian Pavilion, which occupies a large area, has been sealed, and there is a forbidden formation to seal this attic, preventing cultivators from entering and leaving.
Han Yi tried to reach out and press the door of the attic, and pushed hard inside, but felt a huge recoil force that pushed him back three or four steps.
He frowned. This forbidden formation was definitely above the third level, which means that only Jindan cultivators could break it.
It was daytime at this moment, and people were coming and going on the street outside the attic. Han Yi naturally couldn't try further, so he had to show a fierce expression, stepped back a few steps, looked around, and his eyes lit up. There happened to be a Wanxian Inn diagonally opposite.
Walking into the Wanxian Inn, Han Yi directly showed the Wanxian Order, and then he learned about what happened in Xuanxian Pavilion from the respectful shopkeeper.
After listening to the words, the shopkeeper's words were the same as the shopkeeper who received Han Yi in Wanxian Pavilion, but Han Yi learned more details.
Ten days ago, Zhuo Qun disappeared. In fact, people outside didn't know about it, because Wei Tu Shen of Xuanxian Pavilion only announced to the outside that his master, the big shopkeeper of Xuanxian Pavilion, was in seclusion.
But seven days ago, Wei Tu Shen suddenly went crazy in Xuanxian Pavilion and killed several Qi training monks who bought magic tools in Xuanxian Pavilion. Then, he rushed out of Xuanxian Pavilion and wanted to attack outsiders, but he was killed on the spot by a foundation building monk passing by.
"Did the shopkeeper see the person who killed Wei Tu Shen?" Han Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"No, that man must have killed Wei Tushen to protect himself, and then found out that it was the shopkeeper in Xuanxian Pavilion, so he left in a hurry."
"Of course, this is my guess."
The shopkeeper was an old man, and he smiled and shook his head.
"Who would have thought that Elder Zhuo, who was usually gentle and kind, and gave me some Shuzhou specialties when he opened the business, would disappear. Wei Daoyou also had some friendship with me, but he suddenly went crazy and was as fierce as a monster. He suffered a disaster. It's really unpredictable."
Han Yi really had no choice at this time. He just told the story of buying a fake magic weapon in Xuanxian Pavilion, and then directly booked a room in Wanxian Inn.
He was not worried that his publicity would ruin the reputation of Xuanxian Pavilion. If it was so easy to ruin the reputation, Xuanxian Pavilion would have been squeezed out long ago.
Late at night.
A black shadow quietly jumped out of the window of Wanxian Inn. The black shadow was silent and completely merged into the wind.
This figure was naturally Han Yi. Although he was not covering his face at the moment, his body shape had changed. He became a medium-sized man with a black face. This man looked like Zheng Hai.
Han Yi found that it was more handy to use the monks he knew as a template to disguise himself.
In less than two breaths, he had appeared on the side of Xuanxian Pavilion, and then a dagger appeared in his hand.
This dagger was golden in color, and two words were engraved on it.
Demon Slayer.
This was a low-grade magic weapon obtained from the Tianji Monument. It was also Han Yi's second magic weapon besides the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword, the Demon Slayer Dagger.
In terms of sharpness, this magic weapon was sharper than the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword. Moreover, in the experiment half a year ago, Han Yi also found that this dagger could destroy most spiritual energy, such as magic arrays, such as the protective shield formed by talismans, such as defensive spells, etc.
From the name, Han Yi also deduced that this low-grade magic weapon has a restraining effect on the Heavenly Demon, or the demons that are basically extinct in the Yuheng Realm.
Sharp, soul-breaking, demon-killing, these are the labels of this dagger.
The golden dagger, with just a light stroke, cut a hole in the formation that sealed the Xuanxian Pavilion. This hole was only one meter long, as if a zipper was suddenly opened on the spirit formation.
The spirit formation flickered and repaired instantly, but before it repaired, Han Yi had already escaped into the formation.
The Xuanxian Pavilion in Jinyun Immortal City also has four floors. Han Yi first went to the third floor, carefully and carefully searched it, but only found a few pools of blood. Apart from that, the entire third floor was a little messy. It can be seen that after Wei Tu Shen went crazy, the other inner disciples should have withdrawn in a hurry.
Zhuo Qun came to Jinyun Xiancheng to establish a branch of Xuanxian Pavilion. Of course, he did not only bring Wei Tushen with him, but also seven or eight other inner disciples. Those inner disciples should still be stationed behind Xuanxian Pavilion. However, Han Yi did not want to contact them too quickly, especially as an elder of Xuandan Sect.
It was not that he had a conspiracy theory, but he was cautious to prevent someone from watching them.
Han Yi's plan was to wait for his own investigation and then decide whether to contact other disciples depending on the situation.
After checking the third floor, Han Yi went up and found a secret compartment in the middle of the corridor from the third floor to the fourth floor. He took out a stack of documents from it.
This is a secret compartment that only cultivators above the elders of Xuanxian Pavilion know about. Han Yi came in tonight mainly for this secret compartment.
The clues at the scene were found out when the cultivators of the six major departments of Dagan sealed Xuanxian Pavilion.
However
This secret compartment was specially set up by Xuanxian Pavilion. Only the foundation-building elders knew about it. Moreover, the secret compartment was made of special materials, so it was absolutely undetectable even with divine sense.
The secret compartment was only allowed to contain paper documents, and to avoid magical instruments or jade plates and butterflies, which were spiritual items that could be detected by special instruments.
Before Han Yi opened the file, there was a note on the top of the file, with four words written in a messy manner.
"Yuan Beast, Que Chen!"
