Chapter 512 is not a coincidence
Chapter 512 is not a coincidence
"Shi Chun, Wu Jinliang..." Lou Xiuwenming pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Are they the two from the Sky Rain Meteor Conference and the Divine Fire Region?"
The cloaked man said, "Yes, it's them. Although their cultivation is low, they are not ordinary people. Winning once can be considered luck, but winning twice is enough to make people feel amazing. It is enough to show that these two people are not good. You must be extremely careful when dealing with them."
"Yes." Lou Xiu agreed and then asked, "Why did the Jihuo Sect look for them?"
The cloaked man said: "On the surface, the two were in the capital of Shengshenzhou, but they actually appeared here. The Jihuo Sect wanted to see what the two were doing secretly. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The Jihuo Sect will eventually take action against them. They want to capture them alive, bring them back to the Jihuo Sect, and dig out the secrets of the two. However, the two have a lot of magic weapons on them, so people dare not act rashly, otherwise the people from the Jihuo Sect who were here before would have taken action."
Hearing this, Lou Xiu felt secretly shocked, it seemed that there were his own people among the high-ranking officials of Jihuo Sect.
He didn't dare to say this thought out loud, but asked in a different way, "Then what should I do?"
Cloaked Man: "Be friends with them!"
"Be friends?" Lou Xiu was stunned, wondering what the meaning of this was.
The cloaked man said, "You have the convenience of your position here and the power in your hands. If the Jihuo Sect wants to make a move on him, it will just be a good opportunity for you to gain their friendship. The situation with these two people is a bit complicated. Apart from other things, they may have the method of refining the fifth-grade immobilization talisman. The higher-ups are also very interested in their secrets. Secondly, they are optimistic about their abilities, but they are also worried that they are from other sects. So we have to wait and see what we should do. You have only one goal now, to be friends with them, and then decide based on the situation."
Lou Xiu said seriously, "As long as the people are still in the city, it won't be difficult to find them. However, I just came here and I don't have any reliable personnel to use. I'm afraid it's not convenient to transfer the suitable personnel from Da Dacheng for the time being. I'm afraid it's too late to transfer them now..."
Before he finished speaking, the cloaked man had already tapped the paper that had been placed on the table in advance. "The people on this list are our own people. You can use them. They have been sent to guard the four city gates. As long as the people from the Extreme Fire Sect arrive, they will follow them. If they find anything, they will contact you in time."
"Your Excellency is very considerate." Lou Xiu quickly flattered him.
The cloaked man said, "I'm telling you, if this matter is done, you will be qualified to enter the inner altar and receive the righteous Dharma inheritance. You can't make the same mistake as the one that happened to Dazhicheng again. Even the higher-ups are keeping an eye on this matter. If something goes wrong again, I can't protect you!"
Hearing that he would be able to enter the inner altar to receive the true inheritance, Lou Xiu's eyes lit up, and he repeatedly assured, "Don't worry, sir. I guarantee that this time everything will be fine!"
The identity and background of Yin Xu, the proprietress of Zhulang Pavilion, was directly passed to Shi Chun before dawn that night, via the mother-child talisman.
When it comes to gathering information on certain aspects, Shi Chun actually had no other way except to find Master Nan. After the information reached Master Nan's hands after several twists and turns across borders, he received a reply quickly, probably because the information was easier to obtain this time.
Of course, the speed of reply is also determined by Shi Chun himself.
When he sent out the message he wanted to find out, he also passed on the message to the several message transmission nodes set up by Mingshan Sect, telling them that if the message was not long, they should not come in person to deliver it. It was also not confidential information, so the mother-and-child talisman could be used to deliver the message directly.
It can also enable him to obtain information more conveniently.
The reason why he inquired about Yin Xu's news was because he suspected that the two people who were following him were sent by Yin Xu. After all, he was followed since he came out of Zhulang Pavilion.
The two parties have just met, so they are definitely not friends. He doesn't know whether the other party has bad intentions, and stalking is definitely a negative behavior. He must find out the details and take more precautions.
The mother-and-child talisman could not convey too much information at one time. The messages that came in several segments also said that Yin Xu was a fox demon, and her cultivation might have reached the great perfection realm of human immortals. It was said that she might be from the Qingqiu fox clan, and now she was the woman of a certain domain lord in Xiniu. She was not the only woman of that domain lord, but probably one of his lovers.
It was also with the help of the domain lord's background that the Zhulang Pavilion was run in Yaoshan City. Except for not engaging in erotic business, the pavilion sells a full range of businesses such as food, drink and entertainment.
However, from Master Nan's perspective, with this scale, not much can be earned from this transaction, and the real profit comes from the influence of the domain lord.
Zhulang Pavilion has a business of "sending guests away". No matter who you are or what you have done, as long as it is something that the domain lord's influence can cover, once you enter Zhulang Pavilion and pay the corresponding money, Zhulang Pavilion can find a way to send you out of Juku State.
The price is calculated based on the size of the matter. If the matter is too big to be settled, people won't cause trouble for themselves and won't take it no matter how much money they are offered.
That's basically the situation. Young Master Nan said that if you want to know any specific details, he can help to investigate further.
Shi Chun doesn't have any detailed requirements for the time being.
Wu Jinliang, who was watching from the side, was amazed after seeing the content of the message, and felt a little regretful. He had previously had ulterior motives for his tall and mighty masculinity, and he also felt that he was rich, and that the proprietress was just a small businessman. Now he knew that she was the woman of a certain domain lord, and that she was doing shady work behind the scenes. He immediately gave up those messy thoughts, knowing that she was not someone he could easily provoke.
The owner of Yuelai Inn was a little happy. Before daybreak, a lot of customers suddenly came and filled up the vacant guest rooms in no time.
As Shi Chun didn't know the purpose of the two followers, he was on guard and frequently consumed his energy. He also had to open his right eye from time to time to look around alertly. Suddenly, he found that there were many more guests.
He stood up from his meditation on the couch, walked to a wall and stared at it.
Wu Jinliang, who was also meditating, was awakened by his movement. Seeing him facing the wall, he stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Chun said in a somewhat surprised tone: "The leader of the Jihuo Sect is here. What's the name of the one from the Shenhuo Territory?" Wu Jinliang asked in astonishment: "Yin Tian Lu?"
Shi Chun: "Yes, I have already met up with those two from last night. Quite a few people from the Jihuo Sect came, and those two were also from the Jihuo Sect."
He didn't recognize that the two people who were following him were from the Jihuo Sect, even though he had used the special ability of his right eye to observe them a long time ago. Until the Yintianlu appeared, he might not be able to remember everything else. How could he not recognize them after absorbing the source of the divine fire?
A demon cultivator with similar cultivation level, who had also absorbed three divine fires, it would be strange if he couldn't tell that it was Yin Tianlu who came.
It was also because of the arrival of Yin Tian Lu that he picked up the memory of the similar source of law for this group of people. All of these people practiced the fire-based skills of the Jihuo Sect, including the two people who were following them.
When Wu Jinliang heard that someone from Jihuo Sect was coming, he became a little nervous. Although Chuntian had already made a deal with Jihuo Sect for the three sets of items in Qiyun Valley and they had agreed not to pursue the matter, when someone from Jihuo Sect showed up again at this time, he didn't believe that they were not here for the treasure.
The key is that he still killed Hei Hu. Those open assurances were useless in secret.
He couldn't help but frowned, stroking his chin and muttering, "We made a wrong judgment. Wasn't he sent by that woman? Or does the Extreme Fire Sect have a close relationship with that woman?"
Shi Chun: "That's easy. We can move to another place after daybreak. Isn't Zhulang Pavilion also available for accommodation? We can try it out there. We are still in the city and at the foot of the sacred mountain. We have the Phoenix Clan as our backer, so we don't have to be afraid of the Extreme Fire Sect. As long as we don't leave the city, they won't dare to move without permission, otherwise they would have moved long ago."
Having said that, Wu Jinliang did not dare to be careless. He put another gourd on his back and took out the three sets of magic weapons to keep watch at night in case of any accidents...
Inside a simple little house in the city, the lights in the windows were dim.
Two men, one strong and one thin, passed by the wall. They looked around and suddenly climbed over the yard. The moment they landed, they made a series of crackling sounds.
The two looked down and saw a pile of dried fruit shells on the ground.
"Who?" A vigilant shout immediately came from inside the house.
The two looked at each other, and the door opened at this time. The person who appeared was none other than Hua Chong, who had served as a guide to Shi Chun and the others.
The thin man turned up his sleeve and took out a silver token. On it was a pattern of a roaring tiger, which was lifelike and very majestic.
When Hua Chong saw the token, he immediately calmed down, retreated back into the door, and tilted his head to signal for someone to come in.
The two men immediately walked in quickly. Hua Chong went to the door and took a look outside before going back and quickly closing the door.
After turning around and facing the two people, he did not ask their names. In short, he did not ask questions that he should not ask. People would naturally tell when they could, and he just bowed politely.
The thin man asked first: "Where is the person?"
Both of them were sent by the Bai family to observe Wu Jinliang and Shi Chun.
It was really because Shi Chun and the other two left too suddenly. They went straight to Shenshan without giving Bai Qiru any chance to prepare.
After Bai Qiru informed the Bai family of the situation, the Bai family did not have time to send anyone to Yaoshan City to make preparations in advance. However, they estimated that Shi Chun and the others would settle in Yaoshan City first, so they had to notify the Bai family's spy here, Hua Chong.
I have to say that Hua Chong was quite capable. Although he was alone, he always estimated which city gate Shi Chun and the others would enter from, and then kept an eye on Shi Chun and the others.
The fact that Shi Chun and Shi Chun chose Hua Chong as their guide was naturally also due to Hua Chong's performance.
All in all, it is no coincidence that Hua Chong can become the guide of Shi Chun and others.
"They are staying at the 'Yue Lai Inn' in the city, but I suggest you don't follow them rashly. The two people have been targeted. I had just parted with them when I was intercepted by the people from Zhu Lang Pavilion, who asked me a lot about them." Hua Chong's face was solemn, and there was no trace of his previous rogue look.
The thin man said in a deep voice: "Why is Zhu Langge staring at them?"
Hua Chong shook his head, "I don't know, they just went to Zhulang Pavilion for a meal. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be targeted just for a meal, and it was the second manager of Zhulang Pavilion who came to question me personally, so I don't know what it is. But because of this, it doesn't seem to be a big deal..."
At Yuelai Inn, the leader of Jihuo Sect, Xi Quan, was discussing the situation with a group of fellow disciples when he suddenly frowned and took out a mother-child talisman. After reading the contents on it, his face darkened and he said to the person sitting above him, "Master, the people who were following us have sent us news that the bastard named Hua Chong is not a simple person and may have other names."
He was also going to ask Hua Chong questions, but he saw that Hua Chong was intercepted by Zhu Langge's people. So he didn't dare to act rashly. He secretly sent people to observe Hua Chong, intending to find Hua Chong to ask about the situation after confirming that there was no worry. However, he found something unusual in Hua Chong.
