Chapter 700: Tailing and Tracking

The night was getting darker and darker, the crescent moon hung in the sky, the river water occasionally shone silver, the cool breeze blew, the leaves made a rustling sound, breaking the tranquility of the night sky.

Two figures stepped lightly on the treetops without making any sound. Although the two used the magic talisman to hurry on their way, their speed was not slow at all.

These two people were the low-level demon cultivators He Zhongheng and Yang Qiongying who were hidden among mortals.

These two people were the grandchildren of Lu Shaoling and had been hiding in Yu State for sixty years.

In order to prevent suspicion, the two changed their identities two or three times. Even after the establishment of Ziyang Sect, because they were hidden among mortals, the two were not in danger for the time being.

After He and Yang met, their faces were a little ugly.

Because their master sent them a message today through the parasitic method. This was the first time their master Wu Tiecheng contacted them in the past thirty years. From Wu Tiecheng, they already knew that their senior brother Tang Yinglai's soul lamp had been extinguished.

Wu Tiecheng told the two that the ancestor had given up Yu Country and asked them to rush to Wanghai Town, Jiangkou County and wait for orders.

Although the two had successfully condensed their essence, their methods were superior to those of the foundation-building cultivators.

Especially He Zhongheng, who was only one step away from successfully controlling his desires and being on par with the Purple Mansion Realm.

Unfortunately, in the environment of Yu Country, the two had to be extremely cautious, and even ordinary mortals did not dare to embarrass them.

Once their whereabouts were revealed, not to mention the foundation-building magic cultivators like them, even the magic masters of the top level of magic pills like Lu Shaoling would not dare to easily provoke Ziyang Sect.

Whether it was Chen Yunfeng, Qingchan, or Liu Guyan, they could wipe him out.

After the two met up, they discussed a few words, and then hid during the day and went out at night, rushing to Wanghai Town, Jiangkou County without stopping.

Behind them, there were three or four cultivators hiding in the invisibility talisman.

"Uncle Zhang's eyesight is really good. He recognized the demon cultivator early and laid a long line to catch the big fish and stared at these two people. Now the water has been muddied and these two people have started to act. Should we report it to the sect and notify the Jindan Patriarch to come and see?"

Watching He Yang and the other two walking away, Zhang Sihong frowned, feeling a little unsure.

Although notifying the Jindan Patriarch can shirk responsibility, if the big fish is not caught in the end, it will waste the energy and time of the Jindan cultivator. Even if he is a member of the head clan, he will be reprimanded at the least, and his good deeds will be confiscated at the worst.

No matter how serious it is, this matter will eventually make him lose face and become a laughing stock of the sect.

Although closing the net at this time may have a small effect, it is a pity that it is easy to alert the enemy.

Once the demon cultivator takes a big action, the opportunity will inevitably be missed.

As a purple mansion cultivator, he dare not take any responsibility at all. Even if the head of the sect takes care of him, there will be no future.

How to grasp it still needs Zhang Sihong to weigh and measure it himself.

Zhang Sihong was cautious by nature. He had noticed someone leaving the city at night the last time.

Through clues, he had locked onto He Zhongheng.

As a Purple Mansion cultivator, Zhang Sihong could have captured this person alive, but in order to play the long game, he had remained silent these days. Now that he finally found a clue, he was a little embarrassed about how to deal with him.

Watching the two people going further and further away, Zhang Sihong pondered for a moment and said, "I will keep an eye on them first. You report the news to the sect. Don't alarm the Jindan Patriarch for the time being. Let's see what these two people are planning behind the scenes?"

Hongshan City is 20,000 miles away from Wanghai County. It takes six or seven days to travel at the normal speed of a foundation-building cultivator.

But He Yang and the others did not dare to fly away openly, and could only hide in the wilderness at night like a mole.

Hiding during the day and going out at night, the time to travel will inevitably be reduced by half.

It took 23 days to travel a short distance of 20,000 miles.

Seeing that He Yang and the others were so careful and were heading towards Jiangkou County, Zhang Sihong gradually felt that the situation might be more serious.

He was a cultivator from the Yu Kingdom, so of course he had heard rumors about Liang Rusheng, Lu Shaoling and other masters of the magic path.

So halfway through, Zhang Sihong passed the news to Qingchan through the fourth-level sound transmission note.

He didn't know that Zhang Zhixuan had come out of retreat, so he could only inform Qingchan, who had the highest cultivation level.

He thought very clearly that even if he made a mistake and delayed the time of the Golden Core Patriarch, Qingchan would never punish him too severely because of their family relationship.

And if the situation became serious and he provoked a high-level demon cultivator without knowing his own strength, he would probably be robbed because of this.

Compared with the path of Taoism, face is not worth mentioning at all.

Moreover, after following the two demons for a few days, Zhang Sihong was already 30% to 40% sure that there must be something fishy behind the demon cultivator.

Qingchan had cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core for 36 years, and had accumulated enough foundation to impact the Nascent Soul realm.

Although he absorbed most of the memories of his previous life and was a cultivator of the Heavenly Spirit Root, it was a pity that he did not have the external objects to form a Nascent Soul, so Qingchan's chance of refining a Nascent Soul was still less than half.

The spiritual objects for forming infants are very rare. The best one is the sixth-grade Duchen Pill, and the second is the Nine Heavens Gangyu, a natural treasure.

These two spiritual objects are extremely rare.

Although the recipe of the Duchen Pill is still collected by the big sects, it is a pity that the main ingredient, the Immortal Fate Grass, has become extinct in this world, and no one can make this pill. The only Duchen Pills left are the harvests of digging ancient caves, which requires extremely extraordinary opportunities.

The Nine Heavens Gangyu is also an object from outside the world. To obtain it, you need to break through the Nine Heavens Gangqi. It is very dangerous outside the Nine Heavens Gangqi. Not only are there fierce and alien Gangfeng, but also various kinds of thunder and fire from the sky are also very difficult to deal with. Even for the late Yuanying cultivators, breaking through the Nine Heavens Gangqi still has many disasters.

In the entire Da Zhou sect, only fierce people like Qingyunzi and Yu Daoren can occasionally collect some.

Even if there is only one of these two spiritual objects, Qing Chan has a 70% to 80% chance of forming a baby.

The effects are much worse than the Duchen Pill, which are the three sixth-level middle-grade spiritual pills: the Infant Transformation Pill, the Infant Nurturing Pill, and the Infant Cultivation Pill.

These three sixth-level middle-grade spiritual pills can increase the chance of forming a baby by 10% to 20%.

Taking any of the above three infant-forming spiritual pills, Qing Chan still has more than 50% chance of successfully forming a baby.

Unfortunately, the Ziyang Sect is still shallow and does not have any external objects to assist in forming a baby.

Even the tricky treasures such as the sixth-level Soul Nurturing Wood have long been consumed.

Whether it is Qing Chan or Liu Guyan, or even Zhang Zhixuan in the future, if they want to form a baby, they can only fight against the sky, rely on great magic power and great perseverance to break through the realm, and do not use external objects to break through.

To do this, you need to try and fail many times, and fail several times in a row.

Even if Qing Chan is a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, it is very difficult to take this step.

Qing Chan originally planned to break through in seclusion, but after receiving Si Hong's sound transmission note, he was a little worried about Zhang Zhixuan taking risks alone.

The backer behind the Yu Kingdom's demon cultivators is Lu Shaoling.

Unless someone like Liu Yian is ignorant of his own depth, ordinary demon cultivators will not rashly enter the territory where Liang Rusheng and Lu Shaoling are active.

Although Zhang Zhixuan has broken through to the eighth level of the Golden Core, he has a chance of winning in a fight with Lu Shaoling.

However, demon cultivators are strange and cunning, and often do not fight head-on. Once he falls into Lu Shaoling's ambush, Zhang Zhixuan alone is still in great danger.

For this reason, Qingchan thought for a while and decided to act together with Zhang Zhixuan to take care of each other.

The couple can already be on par with Yuanying stage cultivators when they join forces.

Even if Lu Shaoling really sets an ambush, he can't beat Qingchan.
