Chapter 627: Traitors (Plus 400)

Qingfeng Ao.

This is the ancestral home of an Immortal Cultivator family in the Lin Kingdom.

It was originally a place of green hills and clear waters, surrounded by dense fog.

But at this moment, the fog has dispersed, revealing a scene of broken walls and ruins; even the Spirit Fields have been contaminated, the spirit rice within withered and emitting all sorts of rotting, fishy odors.

"To actually go as far as to contaminate the Spirit Vein... truly the style of the Demonic Dao."

A white cloud descended, and it was none other than Aaron!

He held a Task Jade Slip in his hand and muttered to himself: "The Qingfeng Hollow He Family? An Immortal Cultivator family wiped out directly by the Thieving Maidens... The Foundation Establishment cultivator of this family passed away over a decade ago, so they became a soft persimmon?"

Aaron could feel the other party's vast memories surfacing before him like a movie, passing by in a blur.

This is a matter for the Sanshan Association, so the Sanshan Association must handle it!

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a Green Leaf-shaped Magic Tool flew over slowly.

"And... most crucially, he knows that among the Thieving Maidens, a Foundation Establishment cultivator has indeed recently emerged... it's just that their identity is still being kept secret."

The reason he had been so careful to protect this Qi Refining cultivator's sea of consciousness earlier was precisely to leave behind a healthy living witness to serve as human evidence, wasn't it?

"After all, I am only a Guest Elder; doing the duty of a Guest Elder is enough."

If things had been normal before, then under his 'Soul Bewitching Technique', the other party's display of genuine emotion was somewhat abnormal—it was too urgent!

For them, the Immortal Cultivators, a cold and thin nature is the norm for the majority!

Looking at Aaron's smile, Wu Yuqi felt a sense of foreboding, and a bead with flames burning inside landed in his palm.

Aaron did not have the arrogance to enter a tiger's den alone; instead, he immediately took out a Transmission Talisman, preparing to call for help.

"Eh?"

Furthermore, the memories obtained might be very blurry and incomplete; in reality, they can only be considered a chicken rib.

The next moment, his palm was cleanly severed as if by an invisible blade, and that bead fell into Aaron's hand.

What does it matter if a few outsiders died?

Why be so united against a common enemy? Why be so impatient?

Among them, the most frequent scenes were the indescribable acts between this man and a gorgeous woman.

"And... as long as it is something I believe, I never care for evidence!" Aaron chuckled.

"Oh, don't be surprised... because this Magic Tool was refined by me."

Facing this Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator who had come openly to slack off, Wu Yuqi was stunned and hesitated for a moment before saying: "This junior believes... this task of eliminating demons and defending the Tao brooks no delay... those demonesses are cunning and vigilant; they might just run away!"

Aaron reached out and grabbed the air; a large hand made of Dharma Power picked up Wu Yuqi and brought him before him.

This person was quite lucky; encountering his max-level Soul Searching Technique, the process was only a bit painful, not enough to leave him an idiot or damage his sea of consciousness afterward.

It seems... too smooth, a bit too coincidental?

Thinking of this, his eyes shone slightly, and he had secretly used the 'Soul Bewitching Technique': "The matter of the Thieving Maidens is not urgent... since I'm already here, let's rest for a while first."

A Qi Refining cultivator with a fawning expression jumped down from it and bowed: "Wu Yuqi greets the Elder!"

It could even specifically search for keywords.

"The Immortal Cultivation World is truly dangerous!"

It was not strange at all that this Wu Yuqi had bought a Magic Tool he had refined!

"Elder, spare me! Elder, spare me!"

A playful smile appeared on Aaron's face.

Aaron scanned with his Divine Sense and found that the cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Middle Stage, his face expressionless: "Tell me the details of the matter..."

"Haha... the way you speak is also very pleasant." Aaron hadn't thought much of it before, but now he felt something was a bit off.

Aaron looked at the various shifting expressions on Wu Yuqi's face with amusement and said slowly.

"Yin Fire Bead? This is the best among Mid-grade Magical Tools... although it is a one-time-use Magic Tool, its explosive power is enough to rival a High-grade Magical Tool... and the accompanying Yin Fire is extremely vicious; even a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator would not dare to take it head-on..."

After slacking off for so long, Aaron finally started to take action.

"Sure enough... this man had taken a concubine before, and ended up being bewitched by her, betraying the Sanshan Association!"

"Many thanks, Elder, many thanks..." Wu Yuqi's face was full of joy: "This junior has also pursued and investigated many times, and can confirm a stronghold of the Thieving Maidens, but fearing their formidable strength, I was just waiting for the Elder to come and make the decision for us, to clear the clouds and see the blue sky."

"I don't need what you think, I want what I think!"

After Wu Yuqi's face changed like a dye shop, he didn't run away or fight for his life, but knelt down directly: "This lowly one was momentarily confused, bewitched by the demonesses, and is willing to atone for my crimes and report them! They are planning a major event... this lowly one is willing to tell all!"

This is also normal; without a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how would they dare to plot against others of the same realm?

"It's troublesome; better call for backup."

Aaron nodded in realization and looked at this person: "Your analysis is not bad; you seem to be a talent!"

Aaron thought for a moment, raised his hand, and cast a 'Transmission Talisman'; the talisman turned into a flash of fire and vanished in an instant.

"For things that are too dangerous, it's better to leave them to others."

Aaron threw the wide-eyed, unconscious Wu Yuqi onto the ground.

"Such a Magic Tool might cost nearly a hundred Spirit Stones; how can you, a mere Qi Refining Middle Stage cultivator, afford it?"

After all, with First-tier Artifact Refining maxed out, he could only refine Mid and Low-grade Magic Tools; if he couldn't use them, he naturally had to sell them.

Nowadays, he controls at least forty percent of the market for various vicious Mid and Low-grade Magic Tools in Sanshan Market!

"This time... the Thieving Maidens really want to play a big game; that so-called stronghold is a trap! They have set up Array Formations all around, just waiting for me to walk right into the net!"

"Yes, Elder, about a few months ago..." Wu Yuqi recounted in detail, speaking in a logical and coherent manner: "... Later, after investigation, it was confirmed that it was not a vendetta or a struggle for territory. After all, for any Immortal Cultivator family, this Spirit Vein land is the greatest wealth... the only ones who could be so heartless are spies from the Wu Country!"

For example, when he thought of 'Thieving Maidens', scenes would surface one after another.

A Qi Refining cultivator, facing a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, is just this weak!

"Soul Searching Technique!"

A Foundation Establishment spell—Soul Searching!

This technique is not only extremely difficult to cultivate, but the person being searched will also suffer extreme pain, and may even become an idiot!

"It seems... it really is the Thieving Maidens."

"No need! I will do it myself!"

Following this, wisps of black Qi emerged on Aaron's jade-like palm as he pressed it onto the person's head.

"Regardless, I should first ask the local Sanshan Association cultivators about the situation."

However, after grinding to the max level, the situation was different.

Aaron carried Wu Yuqi with peace of mind and flew toward his residence.

According to this person's memory, he also had a concubine from the Thieving Maidens hidden away in a golden house; I cannot let her get away...
