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 knowledge. 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 hear about these things."
Shi Xuan said gently, "It's not your fault. It's just that I feel a little emotional because of this matter."
Only then did the black-robed man 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 pass through the third Deva's Blight in his Minor Chiliocosm. Out of caution, he sealed the Minor Chiliocosm and sealed it. But he did not expect that he would not be able to pass through the Deva's Blight. After his death, 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, the various 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 shrank. Now, the array in some remote mountains, underground abyss, deserted islands, and stars in the sky 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 protruding belly, Shi Xuan remembered what the black-robed driver said about the Origin Fetus Sect. He cautiously reminded them, "When I came back just now, I heard from the driver that the Origin Fetus 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? Origin Fetus Sect?!" Li Wei shouted in panic. Huang Xiao's face became extremely pale. It was as if the ghost story she 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, "I heard this case from the driver of the general's mansion. It should not be wrong. Hmm, I is currently the teacher of the general's mansion. "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 mansion, it should not be wrong. I just hope that the Origin Fetus Sect will not focus 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 to do anything. They could only follow Shi Xuan into the Cloud Ascending Ladder 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 for becoming the teacher of the general's mansion. 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. This kind of thing could only be taken precautions for now. Who knew where the Origin Fetus 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 fair and beardless, and his eyes were clear and bright. He looked exactly like Xiao Yingyu when he grew up. Under the welcome of two rows of guards, servants, odd-job workers, and maids, he walked through the opened door. 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. Seeing 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 around and looked at Shi Xuan with a gentle expression. He was a cultivator with a perfect spirit 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." Originally, 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 feel uneasy at all and said with a smile, "General, you worry too much. Venerable Weimu is still here, so the Yuantai Sect will definitely be eliminated 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, and the aristocratic families only cared about protecting themselves and were unwilling to waste their strength. Therefore, Venerable Weimu stood out and fought all over the world, forming the Weimu Army and finally killed the Heavenly Scum Boy overseas.
The Weimu Army was formed by three Yin God Venerables and sixty Jindan Grandmaster. Once they set up their secret battle formation, even those Yin God Venerables who had perfected their Natal Spiritual Weapons or treasures were no match for them. Later on, they became the capital of Venerable Weimu and the aristocratic families.
Xiao Cangtian shook his head and said, "Venerable Weimu is now competing with us aristocratic families for supremacy, so there is an 80 to 90% chance that he will support us."
Xiao Huarong also had the same thought, so he nodded and said, "Granduncle is right. Ever since the Heavenly Scum Boy was killed, everyone knows that one of their goals is 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 remembered the jade slip he saw by chance some time ago and interrupted.
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 in the midst of regulating his breathing when a faint ripple of a spell came from outside the window next door. If it wasn't for the sensitivity of Shi Xuan's divine sense, any Qi Gatherer cultivator's spiritual sense would not have been able to detect it.
The green emblem 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 left a mark in their residence. For some reason, the Formation Surveillance passed directly through the baby ghost and didn't find this strange thing. Shi Xuan also paid attention to not follow the 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 his trace.
After several observations, Shi Xuan found that one line meant the birth stage was near, two lines meant it was one month away, and so on. Of course, after Shi Xuan finished looking at it, he directly erased the mark.
Thus, in Overlooking Abyss City, there appeared a scene of scribbling at the front and constantly erasing at the back. In the process, Shi Xuan found another four baby ghosts.
Around four o 'clock, 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 them from afar, merging with the wind and leaving Overlooking Abyss City. He passed through the outskirts of the city 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. It was deep and dark.
The five ghosts didn't hesitate and directly rushed into the crack. After thinking for a while, Shi Xuan followed them with his divine sense and waited in place for a while before going down.
The underground Yin wind blew, but it didn't pose any danger to Shi Xuan. It was just like a breeze blowing on his face.
The Earth Terminus Yin Wind gradually became stronger and the Yin Wind Ghosts began to appear. The five ghosts mixed among them were quite difficult to find, but this time they didn't continue to go down. Instead, they flew into a hidden, horizontal crack.
