Chapter 146

During the time Tang Xuejian left, Xu Changqing released the Thunder Spirit Bead from Yun Ting's body and sealed it for preservation.

Yun Ting, who lost the Thunder Spirit Bead, was a bit listless. This was a spiritual object that had grown up with him since childhood, and its sudden removal still had some impact.

Chu Yang saw this and fed him a Blood Bodhi, and the other's complexion quickly returned to normal.

"Finally got rid of this curse. From now on, I, Yun Ting, can be considered a free person."

Yun Ting's smile carried a hint of bitterness. He thought of his lover who passed away on their wedding night. If Xu Changqing and the others had come earlier, perhaps the tragedy wouldn't have happened.

It can only be said that fate plays with people!

Chu Yang said softly: "Young Master Yun, the days ahead are still long. You have plenty of time and opportunities to experience. The dead are gone, and the living must continue to face life."

Yun Ting cupped his hands: "I will keep the Daoist's teachings in mind."

"Why don't you all rest here for a night and wait for Brother Jingtian and Miss Tang to return? Now that the dark clouds have dispersed, Leizhou City is very lively everywhere. Why not play for a while before leaving."

Xu Changqing shook his head: "The situation is urgent, we don't have time to rest. Every minute of delay adds a point of danger to Mount Shu."

Lin Yueru advised: "Daoist Xu, let's wait. Xuejian needs time to stabilize her emotions. We can't leave her behind, can we? She's a girl, what if something happens..."

Li Xiaoyao nodded quickly: "Yes, Brother Xu, that girl looks like she doesn't have a good brain. If she is sold by someone halfway, we will be in big trouble!"

Xu Changqing smiled bitterly: "What are you all talking about?"

Chu Yang patted Xu Changqing on the shoulder: "Senior Brother, we found the Earth Spirit Bead and the Thunder Spirit Bead so quickly, which is already very smooth. Be careful not to overdo it."

"Alright... We've been rushing for the past two days, you must be tired too, so let's take a rest."

Saying that, Xu Changqing walked alone outside the Yun Mansion: "I'll walk around nearby, you don't need to look for me."

"Sigh! Brother Xu..."

Li Xiaoyao wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Chu Yang.

"He probably wants to catch demons nearby. So many demon souls escaped from the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and he has been thinking about this matter. It's more uncomfortable for him to rest than to kill him."

Li Xiaoyao sighed when he heard this.

Lin Yueru couldn't help but be moved: "Daoist Xu is truly chivalrous and admirable."

Just kidding!

The next sect leader designated by the Mount Shu Sect naturally has his character recognized by Qing Wei and others.

The sky was getting late.

Jingtian and Tang Xuejian had not returned yet.

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru went to the street, but they played their own games. Judging from the current situation, there should be no further intersection.

Chu Yang stayed in the Yun Mansion alone, feeling a bit like an empty-nester, so he simply dived into the Soul Palace.

In the palace, the three brothers were still working day and night.

Magic Chu Yang, Pirate Chu Yang, Marvel Chu Yang.

The Golden Silkworm Gu had only completed the extraction of bloodline factors and had not yet further attempted replication experiments.

The three of them wanted to overcome the difficulties of the Demon-Eating Gu first, and then study the Golden Silkworm Gu.

After all, you have to eat one bite at a time.

Xianxia Chu Yang brought good news, which was that it might be possible to get Demon Lord Zhong Lou's bloodline factors in the future.

The three were excited after hearing this.

The Demon Lord's bloodline power is much more awesome than the Otsutsuki bloodline.

There are two reasons why Chu Yang has not added new bloodline factors to himself.

First, he has not broken through the limiter, and rashly adding other bloodline factors may cause conflicts. This point has already been verified in the One Punch world.

Secondly, among so many bloodline factors, there is no power significantly stronger than the Otsutsuki bloodline, so it is not worth making any attempts.

But the Demon Lord's bloodline factors are a different matter.

Magic Chu Yang joked: "If the Soul Palace can truly communicate with all worlds in the future, we can become an existence similar to the Main God Space, using bloodline factors as rewards to cultivate our own forces."

Marvel Chu Yang then thought seriously and nodded: "Theoretically, it is feasible. I now intend to cultivate Hydra, letting them become super-powered people through bloodline factors."

Pirate Chu Yang spread his hands, his tone carrying a sense of giving up: "You go ahead, I don't need such a grand plan anymore, we cleared the level."

Marvel Chu Yang turned his head away angrily.

What are you showing off?

Xianxia Chu Yang leaned forward and asked curiously: "How is Vegapunk's infinite energy research going?"

Pirate Chu Yang had a headache: "If I hadn't stopped him last time, he would have almost dismantled Pluton's power source. Progress is slow, but it is proceeding steadily."

Marvel Chu Yang suddenly asked: "Has the research on artificial Devil Fruits stopped? That thing might be quite useful in other worlds."

"Caesar, Queen, and Judge, the three of them are still researching. It is estimated that there will be a breakthrough in a while."

Pirate Chu Yang noticed Marvel Chu Yang's idea and pointed it out: "You want to learn from Professor Charles in X-Men and start a super-powered school, right?"

"Use fake super-powered people created by bloodline factors to attract those real super-powered people, and then fleece them, stealing their bloodline factors?"

Marvel Chu Yang said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, what is stealing? Can a scientist's business be called stealing?"

Magic Chu Yang smacked his lips: "It's old Kong Yiji."

Xianxia Chu Yang suddenly realized a problem: "Will the backdoors you left in the bloodline factors fail? Don't let the host bite us back after their strength improves."

Magic Chu Yang shook his hair and showed a confident smile: "Put your heart in your stomach. If the host wants to break through our control, they must be proficient in magic, ninjutsu, curse arts, and ghost way at the same time. I have to add spells later."

Xianxia Chu Yang shivered: "Sometimes you are really scary."

Magic Chu Yang glanced at him and sighed: "If there was another Hogyoku, integrating these spell skills would be much more convenient."

Pirate Chu Yang took a deep breath: "We are determined to get the incomplete Hogyoku in Aizen's hands. If he doesn't attack the Soul Society, we might have to take the initiative."

Magic Chu Yang nodded: "Let's talk about it when Bleach Chu Yang comes next time."

The four chatted for a while, and Xianxia Chu Yang returned to the Legend of Sword and Fairy world again.

Yun Mansion.

A whole night passed.

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru returned first, sleeping soundly in their respective rooms.

Jingtian and Tang Xuejian returned a little later, and their behavior seemed a bit more intimate than before.

And Xu Changqing...

Did not return all night.

"Something's wrong. This thick-browed and big-eyed guy has never stayed out all night. Something must have happened."

Chu Yang was a bit worried, but then thought, the Demon Lord didn't jump out to find him for the second round of competition, so Xu Changqing shouldn't have encountered a life-or-death crisis.

"Have to go out and look..."

"Get up, all of you, one by one, how can you sleep at your age!"

Early in the morning, Chu Yang knocked on everyone's doors very violently.

Two men and two women walked out of the room with dark circles under their eyes, listless, looking like four people playing in an internet cafe.

The four looked at Chu Yang with unkind expressions. Chu Yang's next sentence made them tremble.

"Senior Brother is lost, hurry up and find him!"

A whole day passed.

Everyone searched the vicinity of Leizhou City but couldn't find Xu Changqing.

It stands to reason that in one night, no matter how far he walked, he couldn't leave Leizhou.

But he just couldn't be found.

Observation Haki couldn't sense Xu Changqing either.

There are two reasons for this situation: either Xu Changqing is no longer in Leizhou, or there is an existence similar to Zhao Ling Er beside him, constantly emitting spiritual power, interfering with the perception of Observation Haki.

A figure suddenly flashed in Chu Yang's mind.

Zi Xuan!

Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan had a great possibility of meeting last night, and thinking of Xu Changqing not returning all night...

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yang's mouth.

Good for you, thick-browed and big-eyed first disciple of Mount Shu, actually playing so fancy behind our backs? Just as Chu Yang intended to let everyone call it a day, the Demon Sword behind Jingtian suddenly flew out, spinning in the sky.

After a night of getting along, Jingtian and Tang Xuejian already knew about Long Kui. They kept waving at the sky, shouting, "Long Kui, come down quickly!"

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were confused.

Long Kui's abnormal behavior made Chu Yang feel something was wrong. He reached out and used Almighty Push to suck Long Kui down from the sky.

Jingtian stepped forward quickly, Chu Yang handed him the Demon Sword, and then said: "Ask her what's going on?"

Jingtian held the Demon Sword and asked Long Kui with his heart, but the answer he got made his face change.

"Long Kui said she smelled the scent of resentment, and it was a very strong resentment! That resentment had been in the Demon-Suppressing Tower for decades and came out of the tower with her."

Jingtian's voice was trembling.

"Could it be that thing Brother Xu mentioned to us?!" Lin Yueru looked panicked, "The evil thoughts of the Mount Shu Sect leader and the four elders."

Chu Yang took a deep breath: "It's the Evil Sword Immortal."

Li Xiaoyao asked eagerly: "Was Brother Xu captured by the Evil Sword Immortal? That guy should want to grab the Five Spirit Beads, right?"

"My attention was all on Bai Yue, but I ignored this guy..."

Chu Yang had a headache.

Xu Changqing was likely ambushed by the Evil Sword Immortal while catching demons in the wild, and then rescued by Zi Xuan.

Just don't know where Zi Xuan took him.

Jingtian asked: "Daoist Chu, what should we do now? Should we go back to Mount Shu and tell the Mount Shu Sect leader?"

Tang Xuejian also echoed: "Yes, maybe the experts of the Mount Shu Sect can find Xu Changqing! It's better than us running around like headless flies now, right?"

Chu Yang signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Don't worry about Senior Brother's safety. Since Demon Lord Zhong Lou promised me that he would appear at a dangerous moment, he will not break his promise. Everyone, stay calm and focus on finding Senior Brother's traces."

Chu Yang knew they still had many questions, but finding Xu Changqing was more important now. He vaguely felt that the other's situation was not optimistic at the moment.

There are many things in the world that are more uncomfortable than death.

Everyone said no more and started searching aimlessly again. Chu Yang, who realized the seriousness of the matter, quietly released shadow clones to help when others were not paying attention.

Thousands of shadow clones left the Leizhou territory and went to more distant places to find Xu Changqing's traces.

After a day, the shadow clones sent back news.

Xu Changqing was indeed no longer in Leizhou, but in a place Chu Yang didn't expect.

Fengdu.

Knowing Xu Changqing's location, Chu Yang immediately called everyone to leave Leizhou. This time he no longer hid his strength, using sword flight to drag everyone to the Ghost City of Fengdu.

As soon as he entered the city, Chu Yang felt the restlessness of 【Fengdu】 in the depths of his soul.

The Fengdu City in Legend of Sword and Fairy leads directly to the Ghost Realm, and the wandering ghosts in the Ghost Realm are all great supplements to Chu Yang's 【Fengdu】.

"Wow! Why is it so gloomy here, it feels so scary..."

Tang Xuejian's hair stood on end, and she hid behind Jingtian silently, always feeling that something was peeking at her in the dark.

Jingtian protected Tang Xuejian with his hand, but was knocked on the back of his hand by the Demon Sword. He cried out in pain, and then heard Long Kui's laughter.

"Why does she have such a naughty side?"

Jingtian thought helplessly.

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were bold. Not only were they not afraid, they looked around with curiosity. If it weren't for Xu Changqing's safety, they would have probably disappeared long ago.

From the perspective of simple travel, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru are indeed very good partners.

Tang Xuejian pointed not far away and muttered: "Daoist Chu, let's go find Daoist Xu quickly, okay? There is someone looking at us strangely over there."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and saw a middle-aged man with a hunched posture, thin figure, and lewd appearance.

The middle-aged man met Chu Yang and the others' eyes, and he was not afraid, walking over swaggeringly.

"I am Zhao Wuyan. Seeing you all, it seems like your first time in Fengdu City. If you need anything, you can ask me. In this territory, there is nothing I can't handle."

Zhao Wuyan looked at everyone with a grin, his eyes wandering between Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru.

The lewd temperament of the other party made the two show expressions of disgust.

Chu Yang said coldly: "Take us to Aunt Ma's inn."

Zhao Wuyan's eyes turned around, and he said sneakily: "Are the distinguished guests here for fun? Or is there something important to do? Are you interested in a tour of the Ghost Realm? I have a good thing here, it only takes a very cheap price to..."

Before Zhao Wuyan finished speaking, his shoulder was pierced by sword energy, and he let out a miserable howl on the street.

Other passersby took a look and quickly quickened their pace, fearing that they would be implicated.

"I know you are a ghost messenger, walking between the yin and yang realms, knowing some ways, and also knowing that you use herbal tea as Soul-Leaving Soup to deceive others."

"Don't play those little tricks in front of me. I'm afraid I can't help it and really send you down, and you won't be able to come back in this life."

Chu Yang's tone was chillingly indifferent.

Zhao Wuyan heard that his background was exposed by the stranger in front of him, and immediately understood that he had encountered a tough guy, so he said no more and silently led Chu Yang and the others to the inn.

Just after Chu Yang walked into the inn, Zhao Wuyan started to talk nonsense.

"If you have the ability, don't let me meet you below, otherwise you will have a hard time!"

After saying the harsh words, Zhao Wuyan disappeared under everyone's eyes.

Lin Yueru and Tang Xuejian stomped their feet in anger.

Tang Xuejian scolded: "Bad thing! You are the one who shouldn't let me meet you! Otherwise, I will beat you until you find your teeth all over the floor!"

Lin Yueru was also scolding people.

The voices of the two attracted the innkeeper, Aunt Ma. The chubby Aunt Ma walked over with a smile and asked: "I heard Zhao Wuyan scolding people from far away. It seems he didn't get any benefits from you guests. Many people were deceived by him in previous years!"

Aunt Ma sighed: "Most of the people who want to go to the Ghost Realm are poor people who are obsessed. Among them, the infatuated men and resentful women are the most. Just listening to their stories is heartbreaking. I don't know how that bastard Zhao Wuyan can do it!"
