Shi Xuan looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. It was not because of the cruelty and terror that caused him to be unable to calm down. The Blood Demon Sect was much more cruel and terrifying.
Instead, he thought that under the supervision of the great formation, it would not be difficult to do bad things such as stealing chickens and dogs, bribing and smuggling people, but it was impossible for such a big case to happen. Even if it did happen, the public security officers would track it down immediately through the great formation of the empire. Thus, no one would take the risk out of desperation. But now, it seemed that it was not the case!
"I wonder if those women have been found?" Shi Xuan pretended to ask casually.
The black-robed driver shook his head, a look of pity on his face. "I'm afraid they have been killed. It has been so long. Sigh, I used to think that in the mountains, underground, beyond the sea, and other places where the great formation of the empire is weak would be very dangerous. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in a place like the imperial capital. Moreover, there is no trace of them. Humph, in my opinion, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that there is a spy of the Nascent Fetus Sect among those who control the great formation of the imperial capital. Otherwise, how could this happen! "
Shi Xuan nodded. Without a Sky Immortal, the great formation still needed many people to control it, and there were all kinds of loopholes that people could take advantage of. However, Shi Xuan did not ask any more questions, lest he exposed his lack of common sense. Later, he would go to the library and read the information in the shop to understand.
Seeing that Shi Xuan did not say anything, the black-robed man showed a panicked expression and apologized. "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Mister Shi doesn't like to listen to these things."
Shi Xuan said gently, "It is not your fault. It is just that I feel a little sad because of this matter."
The black-robed man finally let go of the fear in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything more. He quietly drove Shi Xuan back to the building.
For the rest of the day, Shi Xuan did not look for other jobs. It must be known that the two hours of preaching the Dao in the General's Mansion every day was worth several times more than any other job except for the cultivator corps. In addition, Shi Xuan did not have much of a need for yuan coins. Thus, Shi Xuan used this time to make up for his lack of general knowledge.
It turned out that Celestial Master Xu Qing was preparing to go through the third Deva's Blight in his Minor Chiliocosm. Out of caution, he sealed and sealed the Minor Chiliocosm. But he did not expect that he would be unable to go through the third Deva's Blight. After he died, no one could find the hidden and sealed Minor Chiliocosm.
As a result, the core of the empire's array had always been temporary. In addition, all kinds of dao techniques, immortal techniques, magic treasures, spiritual treasures, and secret treasures disappeared from the Minor Chiliocosm. As time passed, the highest cultivation level of the cultivators of the empire became lower and lower.
As a result, the power of the empire's array became weaker and weaker, and the range of control gradually shrunk. Now, the array in some remote mountains, underground abyss, deserted islands, and stars became weaker and weaker. At the same time, the array in the city also had some loopholes that could be exploited.
…
While waiting to climb the ladder, Shi Xuan, Li Wei, and Huang Xiao happened to meet each other. They couldn't help but smile at each other and chat.
Seeing Huang Xiao's bulging belly, Shi Xuan remembered the Yuanfetus Sect that the black-robed driver had mentioned just now. He cautiously reminded them, "When I came back just now, I heard from the driver that the Yuanfetus Sect in the imperial capital has revived. In the past month, 36 women who are about to give birth have disappeared. You two must be extremely careful."
"What? Yuanfetus Sect?!" Li Wei shouted in panic. Huang Xiao's face became extremely pale, as if the ghost story she had heard when she was young had appeared in front of her eyes.
Shi Xuan nodded cautiously.
Li Wei was at a loss as to what to do. "It's not that I don't believe you, Brother Shi. It's just that this matter is too unbelievable. The catastrophe that happened a hundred years ago was the nightmare of the previous generations. Moreover, I have many classmates and friends in the imperial city, but none of them have mentioned this case.
Shi Xuan understood their feelings, so he replied, "This case is what I heard from the driver of the general's residence. It should not be wrong. Hmm, I is currently the teacher of the general's residence. "He added the last sentence after seeing the shocked expressions of the two.
Huang Xiao muttered to herself, "Since it is news from the general's residence, it should not be wrong. I just hope that the Yuanfetus Sect will not focus their attention on a small city like ours."
There was a moment of silence. Although Li Wei and Huang Xiao knew the news, they were too weak and could not think of anything else. They could only follow Shi Xuan into the cloud ascending stairs gloomily.
When they reached the eighteenth floor, the three of them separated. Li Wei forced a smile and said, "I haven't congratulated Brother Shi on becoming the teacher of the general's residence. You are indeed a graduate of the Xu Qing Daoist Academy." He wanted to congratulate Shi Xuan, but he was suppressed by the news. His smile was uglier than crying.
Shi Xuan comforted the couple with a few words. This kind of thing could only be taken precautions for now. Who knew where the Yuanfetus Sect was?
…
After teaching Xiao Yingyu for eight days, Shi Xuan finally met the Linyuan General, Xiao Huarong, for the first time.
Xiao Huarong's face was pale and beardless, and his eyes were clear and bright. He was simply the appearance of Xiao Yingyu when he grew up. He was welcomed by two rows of guards, servants, odd-job workers, and maids. He walked through the opened door, and it could be considered a triumphant return.
"Congratulations to the general for eliminating the Gold Core ghost." The people on both sides of the road congratulated him in unison.
Meanwhile, Shi Xuan, Xiao Cangtian, and Xiao Huarong's wife were standing at the side of the hall with Xiao Yingyu. When they saw Xiao Huarong walking over, Xiao Yingyu stumbled and ran out happily, throwing himself into Xiao Huarong's arms.
"You must be Mr. Shi, right? I have some business to attend to, so I have neglected you. "After teasing Xiao Yingyu for a while, Xiao Huarong turned to look at Shi Xuan with a gentle expression. Shi Xuan was a cultivator whose soul had reached the consummate stage for many years. It was unknown whether he was waiting for a chance to obtain a High Grade Gold Core, but he had not taken any medicinal pills to advance.
Shi Xuan smiled faintly and said, "General Xiao, you are too polite." Normally, according to the rules, a teacher would have to humbly flatter him, but this was not in line with Shi Xuan's temperament, so he did not mention it.
Xiao Huarong glanced at Shi Xuan with a smile. In his heart, he regarded Shi Xuan as a talented and aloof young man, so he did not care about it. He entered the hall while chatting and laughing with Shi Xuan and Xiao Cangtian.
After chatting for a while, the topic naturally shifted to the Yuantai Sect that shocked the imperial city. Xiao Huarong frowned and said, "I didn't expect that in just a hundred years, the Yuantai Sect would make a comeback. This is a great threat to the world."
Some of the subordinates beside him did not seem to be uneasy at all and said with a smile, "General, you are worrying too much. As long as Lord Weimu is still here, the Yuantai Sect will definitely be beheaded soon."
A hundred years ago, when the Heavenly Scum Boy founded the Yuantai Sect, the emperor did not care about the affairs of the world. The aristocratic families only cared about protecting themselves and were unwilling to consume their own strength. Therefore, Lord Weimu stood out and fought all over the world, forming the Weimu Corps. In the end, he killed the Heavenly Scum Boy overseas.
The Weimu Corps was formed by three Yin God Lords and sixty Jindan Grandmaster. Once they set up their secret battle formation, even those Yin God Lords with magic treasures or perfect natal spiritual weapons would not be a match for them. Later on, they became the capital of Lord Weimu and the aristocratic families.
Xiao Cangtian shook his head and said, "Now that Lord Weimu is competing with us aristocratic families for supremacy, there is an 80 to 90% chance that he will support the bandits to strengthen himself."
Xiao Huarong also had the same thought, so he nodded and said, "Granduncle is right. Ever since the Heavenly Scum Boy was killed, everyone knew that one of their objectives was to find the Lesser Chiliocosm of Heavenly Lord Xu Qing through the secret treasure. Maybe many people will just sit by and watch, adding fuel to the fire and waiting for the right time."
"Hehe, I heard that the Lesser Chiliocosm is hidden in the depths of the void formation?" Shi Xuan interrupted as he recalled the jade slip he saw by chance some time ago.
Xiao Huarong smiled and said, "Mister Shi also knows about this rumor? But I can't be sure where the Lesser Chiliocosm is. After all, the Heavenly Scum Boy is dead. "
Shi Xuan didn't say anything else. He quietly listened to their discussion and absorbed information from it.
… …
One month later, in the middle of the night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Shi Xuan was regulating his breathing when a faint fluctuation of magic came from outside the window next door. If it wasn't for Shi Xuan's sensitive divine sense, no cultivator in the Qi Gatherer Stage would be able to detect it.
The green coat of arms on Shi Xuan's left hand instantly turned purple. He spread out his divine sense and found that outside the window of Li Wei and Huang Xiao's room, there was a green and gloomy ghost that looked like a baby. It was leaving three faint horizontal lines on the windowsill.
Leaving a mark? Could it be that it has to be close to the birth stage? Shi Xuan thought as he looked at the baby ghost's behavior.
The mark was very faint. At least, only Jindan Grandmaster could find it. The baby ghost left with satisfaction. It was so fast that it disappeared on the other side of the city in the blink of an eye.
Shi Xuan wiped it with his divine sense and the mark disappeared. Then Shi Xuan turned into a wisp of wind and followed the baby ghost that he had locked on to.
This green baby ghost wandered around Overlooking Abyss City, looking for pregnant women. Once it found them, it would leave a mark in their residence. For some reason, the formation surveillance directly passed through the baby ghost and didn't find this strange thing. Shi Xuan also paid attention to not going to those places where the formation surveillance was very strict. The formation surveillance in general places, after Shi Xuan used the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror, naturally couldn't catch the trace.
After several observations, Shi Xuan found that one line meant the birth stage was near, two lines meant there was still one month left, and so on. Of course, after Shi Xuan finished looking, he directly erased the mark.
Thus, in Overlooking Abyss City, there appeared a scene of random scribbling in front and continuous erasing at the back, and in the process, Shi Xuan found another four baby ghosts.
Around the fourth watch, the five baby ghosts seemed to have searched the whole city once, then turned into green smoke and flew out of the city.
Shi Xuan followed these ghosts from afar, merging with the wind, out of Overlooking Abyss City, passing through the outskirts where Spirit Grains and Spirit Grass were planted, and came to a wilderness.
After passing through a small part of the wilderness, there appeared a large crack that led straight to the ground in front of him, deep and dark.
Without the slightest hesitation, the five ghosts directly rushed into the crack. After thinking for a while, Shi Xuan followed them with his divine sense, waiting in the same place for a while, and then went down.
The underground Yin wind blew, but to Shi Xuan, it was not dangerous at all, just like a breeze blowing on his face.
The Earth Terminus Yin Wind gradually became stronger, and the Yin Wind Ghosts also began to appear. The five ghosts mixed among them were quite difficult to find, but at this time they did not continue to go down, but flew to a hidden, horizontal crack on the side.
