Chapter 833: Heartless and Loyal
"Fellow Daoist Ziyun, do you know where Zhuyin is?" Song Wen asked, changing the subject.
This was also one of the main reasons why he came to find Ziyun.
Ziyun was familiar with Zhuyin, and she should know Zhuyin's movements.
Ziyun's eyes suddenly turned cold when she heard this, and her voice was full of hatred.
"Zhuyin betrayed the human race and became a running dog of the demon race. In the battle of the Northern Territory 20 years ago, the human race was defeated. A big reason for this was that Zhuyin secretly colluded with the demon race and leaked the human race's deployment. As a result, the human race fell into the trap of the demon race, and countless comrades died tragically."
"Zhuyin defected to the demon race!" Song Wen's voice was mixed with a hint of disbelief.
Ziyun nodded heavily, with hatred in her eyes.
"She and Xing Wenyao, the two traitors, are now guests of honor of the demon race. It is said that she has obtained a lot of cultivation resources from the demon race, and now she has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
Song Wen sighed a little.
He knew that Zhuyin joined the demon clan not for cultivation resources, but to avenge her parents and clan members.
Getting rid of Yin Shuo was Zhuyin's real purpose.
"Daoyou Ziyun, do you know the current situation of Wuji Sect?" Song Wen asked.
Ziyun said, "Don't worry. Wuji Sect should not bother you again. In the battle of the Northern Territory, among the major forces of the human race, except for the Jing family, Wuji Sect suffered the most serious losses."
Back then, Song Wen did not obey the call of Wuji Sect and was regarded as a traitor by Wuji Sect, and the sect issued a killing order.
Ziyun mistakenly thought that Song Wen was worried that Wuji Sect would continue to hunt him down.
Hearing this, Song Wen's heart tightened inexplicably.
If Yin Shuo and Ye Hua were dead, then his idea of devouring their magic power and breaking through would be ruined.
"Then how are the Demon Lord Yin Shuo and Demon Lord Ye Hua doing?" Song Wen said.
Ziyun said, "In recent years, there has been little news about Yin Shuo. It seems that he is in seclusion. Ye Hua is basically in charge of all the affairs of Wuji Sect."
Next, Ziyun told Song Wen about the situation of various forces in the Sea of Chaos, and suddenly remembered something and said.
"Jiyin, a few years ago, someone asked me about you."
"Who?" Song Wen instantly became alert.
"Xing Shan. I remember that you recommended her to join Liangyi Sect." Ziyun said.
Song Wen frowned slightly and asked, "What did she ask me for?"
Ziyun shook his head, "I don't know. How about I send a message to inform her to come over? You ask her in person?"
Song Wen hesitated for a moment and said.
"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist."
Ziyun took out a jade slip for sending a message, and asked after sending a message to Xing Shan.
"Jiyin, what are your plans next? Do you have a place to go?"
Song Wen said, "I don't have a place to go yet."
Ziyun said, "Why don't you join our Liangyi Sect? Liangyi Sect is short of manpower right now, and you are a Nascent Soul cultivator. If you join Liangyi Sect, all the resources you need for cultivation will be provided by the sect, so you don't need to worry about it. Moreover, if there is no important matter, the sect will not disturb you at will, you just need to practice with peace of mind."
Song Wen frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.
Liangyi Sect is a suitable place for cultivation, but he came to the Sea of Chaos this time, not just for cultivation.
After thinking for a while, Song Wen decided to refuse Ziyun.
"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist. I am a corpse cultivator, and it is inconvenient to join your sect."
"Jiyin, will you consider it again?" Ziyun said.
Song Wen shook his head.
Seeing this, Ziyun said nothing more.
The two chatted for a while, and the doorman of the teahouse was suddenly knocked.
"Senior Ziyun, Xing Shan wants to see you."
"Come in." Ziyun said.
Xing Shan pushed open the door and walked in.
The message Ziyun sent her only said that someone wanted to see her, and did not mention Song Wen.
Therefore, when she saw Song Wen, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Her eyes stared at Song Wen for a long time.
After Xing Shan realized that she had lost her composure, she quickly retracted her gaze and bowed her head.
"Hello, Senior Ziyun, hello, Senior Jiyin."
From Xing Shan's eyes looking at him, Song Wen sensed a complaint and felt a little puzzled.
"Xing Shan, I heard from Daoist Ziyun that you had looked for me before, but I don't know why?"
"The person who wanted to find the senior was not a junior, but someone else." Xing Shan said mysteriously.
"Who?"
Song Wen asked knowingly, and he had already guessed who Xing Shan was referring to.
"Who else could it be except Shan Yue?" Xing Shan's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
Song Wen did not care about Xing Shan's attitude and asked lightly, "Shan Yue, is she okay?"
"She... is not well."
When she said the last three words, Xing Shan's tone was obviously heavier.
"What's wrong with her? If there is anything I can do, just ask." Song Wen said.
Although Song Wen did not want to have any disputes with Shan Yue anymore, but for the sake of their past friendship, if she encountered some minor troubles, Song Wen would not mind helping her.
"Senior, I'm afraid you can't help. Two years ago, she had already passed away." Xing Shan said.
"Dead?" Song Wen was a little surprised.
In his memory, Shan Yue should be less than two hundred years old. For a foundation-building cultivator, this age is still considered young.
And Xing Shan used the word "pass away", which means that Shan Yue died of natural causes.
"Why did she pass away so early?" Song Wen asked.
"She's sick from missing you!" Xing Shan said in a sad tone, "She's sick from missing you like poison. A great foundation-building cultivator died of exhaustion."
Song Wen was silent for a long time, then spoke slowly.
"Then she died of old age. For cultivators like me, this is a blessing."
"You..." Xing Shan looked a little angry.
......
After bidding farewell to Ziyun, Song Wen headed west, and after two days of swaying flight, he arrived at Wuji Island.
Song Wen passed through Shadow City and came to the Corpse King Valley where Wuji Sect was located, and walked into the Foreign Affairs Hall with ease.
He was received by a female cultivator in the middle stage of foundation-building.
"May I ask what you are here for, senior?"
Song Wen said, "I want to join Wuji Sect and become an outer sect elder of your sect."
The female cultivator said, "May I ask what your name is, senior, and what your cultivation level is?"
Song Wen said, "My name is Gou Jun, and I am in the late Jindan stage."
"Hello, senior Gou Jun. May I ask what your strengths are?" the female cultivator asked.
"I am proficient in alchemy," Song Wen said.
"Senior, are you good at alchemy?" the female cultivator's eyes lit up slightly.
Song Wen didn't know why the female cultivator had such a reaction, so he could only nod.
"I wonder if you are willing to become an inner sect elder of Wuji Sect?" the female cultivator asked.
"Inner sect elder?" Song Wen was a little surprised.
In the past, the inner sect elders of Wuji Sect were all disciples cultivated by Wuji Sect since childhood; outsiders could only be outer sect elders.
Could it be that Wuji Sect has changed the sect rules?
Song Wen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Please wait a moment, senior. Recruiting an inner sect elder is not something I can decide. I will notify the inner sect elder to come over right away." The female cultivator said.
