Chapter 1030 Disaster Strikes From the Sky
After a lot of effort, Song Wen disguised himself as an old man in the Spiritualization Stage, and then put on a black cloak.
Then, he walked out of the restaurant under the strange gaze of the shopkeeper and several servants.
Song Wen spent fifty medium-grade spirit stones to book a private room, but did not order any food or drinks, and then left in a hidden way; it was hard not to attract attention.
However, the shopkeeper and the servant did not interfere.
In the world of immortal cultivation, who doesn't have some secrets!
After leaving the restaurant, Song Wen thought about it, took out Shi Man's communication jade slip, and replied.
[Senior Shi Man, I wonder why you asked me to go to Yanyue Hall? ]
It was just his guess that Shi Man might be unfavorable to him.
After ensuring his own safety, Song Wen still planned to ask clearly.
Shi Man soon sent a reply, and his tone seemed extremely unhappy.
[Gou Jun, why are you dragging your feet and taking so long to reply! The stall owner you mentioned last time has been found. He is a casual cultivator named ‘Shi Chang’. His appearance is not only similar to the image you drew, but he is also a poison cultivator and a spiritual transformation cultivator, which is completely consistent with the information you provided. But after all, we have never seen the stall owner in person. Master Chi Pei specially ordered you to go to Shi Chang’s lair with me to identify this person. 】
After reading the message, Song Wen’s expression became a little strange.
First, he was too suspicious, and his previous disguise was a waste of effort.
Second, Yanyue Hall actually found someone who looked like ‘Master Jiyin’.
This poison cultivator named Shi Chang was targeted by Yanyue Hall and would definitely suffer an unprovoked disaster.
Could it be that he did something that was abhorrent to both humans and gods? This low probability thing could also be encountered by him.
[Senior Shiman, please forgive me. I am refining a corpse puppet, so I was unable to reply to your message in time. I will stop refining and go to Yanyue Hall. 】
【You don't need to come to Yanyue Hall. Just wait in the sky above Yunyin City. 】Shi Man said in a commanding manner.
Song Wen put away the jade slip of the message, hurriedly walked into an inn, and disguised himself as the bald 'Gou Jun' again.
Then, he flew to the sky above Yunyin City and saw Shi Man waiting there.
Next to her, there was another person standing.
He was a male cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, with a faint corpse aura on his body, obviously a corpse cultivator.
"Senior Shi Man, I am late and made you wait for a long time. Please forgive me."
"Forget it this time. If there is a next time, don't blame this elder for not remembering the past friendship." Shi Man scolded sternly.
Then, she pointed at the male cultivator beside her, "This is Wu Yuan, the deacon of Yanyue Hall. He is in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm and is extremely powerful. With Deacon Wu Yuan here, you and I will definitely be able to rest assured on this trip."
Song Wen clasped his hands together and bowed to Wu Yuan.
"Hello, Senior Wu Yuan."
Wu Yuan heard this and just glanced at Song Wen lightly, then looked away without making any response.
Completely ignoring Song Wen, a casual cultivator, also somewhat offended Shi Man's face.
Although Shi Man's cultivation was not as good as Wu Yuan's, he was an outer sect elder of Yanyue Hall. In terms of status, he was much higher than Wu Yuan.
However, Wu Yuan did not have much respect for Shi Man, either because he disdained to associate with someone like Shi Man who relied on shortcuts to get to the top, or because he knew Shi Man's future fate and despised him in his heart.
Wu Yuan waved his hand and summoned a spaceship.
"You are too slow. I will take you there in a spaceship. Go quickly and come back quickly."
Shi Man did not express any contempt for Wu Yuan. He called Song Wen and boarded the spaceship.
The spaceship flew northwest for hundreds of miles and arrived above a dead valley.
The valley was shrouded in a layer of gray poisonous fog.
The poison escaped, causing no grass to grow within a thousand miles, and there was no vitality.
"Shi Chang, I am Master Man, the head of the outer sect of Yanyue Hall. Why don't you come out and greet me quickly." Shi Man poured his magic power into his voice, which was loud enough to stop the world.
The poisonous fog flowed slowly and sank downwards, revealing a transparent barrier.
Inside the barrier, the ground of the valley was covered with a thick layer of corpses, both human and monster.
These corpses exuded wisps of gray poisonous gas.
A thin figure stood on the layers of bones.
Song Wen's eyes flashed with surprise.
This man looks exactly like his respected master.
Even the mustache on his mouth is exactly the same.
"Hello, Elder Shi Man. I wonder why the three of you are here?"
Shi Man said, "Shi Chang, I heard that you can refine a poison called "Fu Xin Han". Is this true?"
Shi Chang's face flashed with a panic that was difficult to hide.
He subconsciously thought that someone in Yan Yue Tang died because of Fu Xin Han, and Song Wen and the other two came here to catch the murderer.
And obviously, Yan Yue Tang got the wrong information from somewhere, thinking that he could refine Fu Xin Han and regarded him as the murderer.
"Elder Shi Man, I have never refined Fu Xin Han. In fact, I have never heard of this poison."
Shi Man said, "Shi Chang, don't try to deny it! The person next to me once bought Fu Xin Han from you."
Shi Chang looked at Song Wen in the direction of Shi Man's finger.
"This... master, we seem to have never met before!"
Song Wen was a little speechless.
The three of them were clearly here to ask for medicine, but Shi Man had an aggressive attitude.
Really, with Yan Yue Tang behind him, he was used to being arrogant.
And Wu Yuan did not object to Shi Man's behavior, as if it was natural.
It seemed as if all the cultivators in the entire Qicang area should obey the orders of Yanyuetang.
Shi Chang was just a casual cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, so he should naturally obey orders.
"Gou Jun, is he the stall owner you have seen before?" Shi Man asked.
"I can't be sure. The appearance is very similar, but the aura seems to be slightly different. At that time, the stall owner intentionally concealed his aura. I am too low in cultivation to identify his true aura." Song Wen looked at Shi Chang carefully, frowned slightly, and gave an ambiguous answer.
Shi Chang's appearance is too similar to Master Jiyin. If he directly rejected it, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Shi Man and Wu Yuan.
And if he gave a positive answer, once Shi Chang had nothing related to Fu Xinhan, Song Wen's lie would be self-defeating.
"Elder Shi Man, please understand, I am really not the stall owner you are looking for." Shi Chang hurriedly explained.
Shi Man was undecided for a while and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Wu Yuan shouted.
"This is simple. Shi Chang, you unlock the valley formation by yourself, and let us search your cave and storage ring. If there is nothing related to Fu Xinhan, it will naturally prove your innocence. Otherwise, I will forcibly break the formation and search your soul."
