Half a year later, in a place dozens of miles away from the capital, 50 strong men with long sabers at their waists were escorting an exquisite carriage, slowly moving forward on the official road.
There was a flag on the carriage with the words' Wei Yuan Escort Agency 'written on it.
A dignified yellow-robed old man sat in front of the carriage. It was Liu Ping.
Inside the carriage, Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. His left arm was stretched out, swollen and shining with blood.
Compared to half a year ago, Wang Changsheng's complexion was much better.
It didn't take long for Wang Changsheng's left arm to return to normal and he opened his eyes.
After half a year of recuperation, Wang Changsheng's injuries had healed.
He was cultivating the Calamity Dissolving Secret Technique attached to the Bloodfire Scripture. The Bloodfire Scripture was one of the three greatest cultivation techniques of the Bloodfire Sect, but it was not complete. It only contained the cultivation method before the early stage of Yuanying.
Wang Changsheng naturally wouldn't cultivate the Bloodfire Scripture, but he could cultivate some of the secret techniques attached to it.
The Calamity Dissolving Secret Technique cultivated a part of one's body into a substitute puppet. When one encountered an attack that one couldn't resist, one could use one's body to bear the calamity. It was especially effective against curses.
The Spirit-Dissolving Talisman also had the effect of dissolving calamity, but it didn't require the use of one's body. However, after using it once, it had to be stored in the body for several years before it could be used again. Wang Changsheng was worried that he didn't have many life-saving methods. After obtaining the cultivation method of the Calamity Dissolving Secret Technique, he cultivated this secret technique.
In addition to the Calamity Dissolving Secret Technique, Wang Changsheng also cultivated a secret technique called the Sanguine Doppelganger Technique.
The Sanguine Doppelganger Technique had a total of three levels. Every time he cultivated a level, he could create a figure with the same aura as the main body. When he cultivated the third level, he could create nine figures with the same aura as the main body. Ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Speaking of which, the secret technique Wang Changsheng had obtained from the Demon Yang Sect, the Demonic Shadow Technique could also create clones that were identical to the main body. The difference was that the Demonic Shadow Technique could only create three clones, and they couldn't be too far away from the caster. The clones would perform the same actions as the main body. On the other hand, the clones created by the Blood Ray Doppelganger Technique could be far away from the caster, but they couldn't perform the same actions as the main body.
Simply put, the Demonic Shadow Technique was a slightly more advanced illusion technique, while the Blood Ray Split Shadow Technique was an escape technique.
The Bloodfire Sutra also had two secret techniques, the Bloodfire Finger and the Blood Spirit Palm. Unfortunately, these two secret techniques required one to cultivate to the tenth layer of the Bloodfire Sutra. Moreover, every time one used these two secret techniques, a large amount of blood essence would be consumed.
The capital city was the most prosperous place in the Great Song Dynasty. It was also the place where various powers converged. Crooks mixed in with the honest folk. Cultivators from various sects and schools who committed crimes would all run to the capital city to seek protection. Furthermore, the law enforcement disciples of various sects and schools would not enter the capital city to arrest people.
After so many years of development, the strength of the Imperial family was not below that of any of the mid-sized sects and schools. Thus, both the righteous and demonic sects had to give face to the Imperial family.
Wang Changsheng came to the capital city this time for two reasons. First, he wanted to purchase some materials. Second, he wanted to inquire about some information.
Li Yutang's body was severely damaged and could not be refined into a Sky Corpse. He could only find another cultivator with a Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root.
In the files of the Taiqing Palace, there was only one Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, Li Yutang. Wang Changsheng could only inquire about information from other powers.
"Young Master Wang, there is a tea shed in front of us. Would you like to rest there for a while?" Liu Ping's extremely respectful voice came from outside.
"How far are we from the capital city? Can we reach the capital city before dusk? "Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked.
"Less than thirty miles. According to our speed, we can reach the capital city by dusk." Liu Ping answered truthfully.
"Alright! Then let's rest in the tea shed in front. "Wang Changsheng agreed.
Not long after, the carriage stopped. Wang Changsheng also walked out of the carriage.
At this time, they were in a dense forest near the official road. A tea shed was set up in the dense forest.
More than ten guests were drinking tea and resting in the tea shed. At one of the tables sat a woman and a man.
The man had handsome facial features and wore a white scholarly robe. The woman had fair skin and beautiful features and wore a yellow palace dress. Both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The woman in the yellow robe had delicate facial features and snow-white skin. She wore a snow-white bracelet on her right hand.
When Wang Changsheng saw the woman in the yellow robe, he felt that he had seen her somewhere before. However, for a moment, he could not remember who she was.
Wang Changsheng shook his head and did not think about it anymore. He sat down at a table.
Liu Ping also sat down and used a silver needle to test the tea and snacks. After confirming that there was no poison, he let Wang Changsheng drink.
"Young Master Wang, please have some tea." Liu Ping poured a cup of tea for Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Escort Chief Liu, after entering the capital, your mission will be completed. I will pay the rest of the remuneration. When the time comes, you can do as you please." Wang Changsheng said calmly.
Hearing this, Liu Ping's face lit up with joy as he responded.
"Oh no, this tea is poisoned." Suddenly, Liu Xin shouted from the side. After saying that, he blacked out and fainted.
Liu Ping's face changed greatly. He immediately stood up, but his body swayed a few times before falling to the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng's expression was normal.
The escorts and the guests in the tea house fell down one after another, as if they had been drugged by some kind of powerful knockout drug.
A middle-aged man with a determined face and three green-robed servants quickly walked forward and surrounded the woman in the yellow robe.
Judging from the spiritual energy fluctuations of the middle-aged man and the other three, they were also Foundation Establishment cultivators. Their auras were even stronger than the woman in the yellow robe.
"Junior Sister Huang, we are from the enforcement team. If you know what's good for you, you will obediently return with us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite." The middle-aged man looked at the woman in the yellow robe and said in a deep voice.
"What, enforcement team? I won't go back with you. I don't want to marry that Old Monster Wuya as a concubine! "The woman in the yellow robe's face changed and she said resolutely.
After saying that, she hurriedly touched the storage pouch at her waist and a green bead appeared in her hand.
After she poured her spiritual energy into the green bead, a green light flashed and a thick green light curtain suddenly appeared, covering her and the man in the white robe.
The woman in the yellow robe patted the storage pouch at her waist and a short sword glittering with blue light flew out.
"Senior Brothers, Junior Sister Huang and I are truly in love. Seeing that we are from the same sect, please let us go! We will be very grateful. "The man in the white robe begged bitterly.
"Hmph, capturing you is a great merit. Do you think I will throw away such a great merit?" The middle-aged man snorted and sneered. He paused for a moment and then said, "Junior Brother Li, you have guts. You actually dared to kidnap Junior Sister Huang. Don't you know that she is Senior Wuya's concubine? If you offend Senior Wuya, our entire Yellow Saint Sect will not have an easy time. "
The middle-aged man and the other three took out their magic tools and surrounded the woman in the yellow robe. They didn't have any intention to attack and seemed to be waiting for something.
"I, Huang Pingping, will not go back with you even if I die. I don't want to marry that old monster as a concubine!" The woman in the yellow robe's attitude was quite resolute.
"Junior Sister Huang, don't be ungrateful. You are only a rogue cultivator. If it weren't for the sect, you probably wouldn't have reached the Foundation Establishment stage! Moreover, Senior Wuya is a Yuanying cultivator. Being able to marry him as a concubine is a good thing that many people would be envious of. It's fine if you don't agree, but you dare to run away with Junior Brother Li. Do you think you will be safe after escaping to the capital? What a joke. "The middle-aged man sneered with a trace of ridicule.
"Humph, even if I don't enter the Yellow Saint Sect, with my Dual Spiritual Roots, other sects will still accept me. The sect has nurtured me and I will repay it, but I definitely won't use my life's happiness to repay it. Senior Wuya is famous for his lecherous nature. If he doesn't have a hundred concubines, he has at least eighty. If the sect marries me to him as a concubine, wouldn't it be the same as jumping into a fire pit?" The woman in the yellow robe retorted with an expression of dissatisfaction.
After saying this, the green light screen wildly flashed a few times before disappearing.
"Spirit Dispelling Powder! You put Spirit Dispelling Powder in the tea! "Huang Pingping's expression greatly changed as she involuntarily cried out in surprise.
When the white-robed man saw this, his face paled.
"Hehe, if we weren't worried about hurting you, why would we pretend to be tea sellers and put Spirit Dispelling Powder in the tea? Unless one's Fa Li is strong, they won't be able to use Fa Li for two hours." The middle-aged man laughed mischievously and said somewhat proudly.
At the same time, the two green-robed servants shook their sleeves and a yellow light flashed out of each of their sleeves.
"Keng, keng," the woman in the yellow robe and the white-robed man felt their hands go numb. The magic tools in their hands flew out and the blue short sword fell beside Wang Changsheng.
The other green-robed servant shook his sleeve and two yellow ropes flashed out. They quickly tied up the woman in the yellow robe and the white-robed man, making them unable to move.
Wang Changsheng beckoned with one hand and the blue short sword flew into his hand.
The blue short sword was less than two feet long and the hilt was engraved with a lifelike blue snake.
He looked at the blue short sword in his hand and his face revealed an expression of reminiscence.
"Fellow Daoist, please return this magic tool to us. This is the magic tool of our Yellow Saint Sect's disciples." The middle-aged man walked over and said with a sincere face.
He had put Spirit Dispelling Powder and Ecstasy Powder in the tea. If Wang Changsheng was a mortal, he would have already fainted. However, he couldn't clearly see Wang Changsheng's cultivation and didn't dare to rashly offend Wang Changsheng.
"This Blue Snake Sword is mine." Wang Changsheng said indifferently with an extremely serious expression.
"What? Yours? What does Fellow Daoist mean? This top-grade magic tool, the Blue Snake Sword, is Junior Martial Sister Huang's personal item. How could it be yours? "The middle-aged man frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
"If I say it's mine, then it's mine." Wang Changsheng's eyes narrowed. After he finished speaking, his body exploded with a shocking amount of spiritual pressure.
The middle-aged man's face turned pale and he took a few steps back. Even breathing was difficult.
"Senior, please don't misunderstand. This junior has eyes but failed to see. I hope that senior can spare this junior for the sake of the Yellow Saint Sect. Since senior likes this magic tool, then I'll give it to senior." The middle-aged man's face changed greatly and he hurriedly explained.
At this moment, how could he not know that Wang Changsheng was a high-level cultivator?
"Give it to me? I said that this magic tool is mine. "Wang Changsheng's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's senior's." The middle-aged man naturally didn't dare to say no and his face was extremely pale.
"Leave those two behind. You can leave." Wang Changsheng withdrew his spiritual pressure and ordered without any trace of politeness.
"Senior, this is our Yellow Saint Sect's matter. You …" The middle-aged man heard this and he looked a little embarrassed. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Changsheng. "I'll give you ten breaths of time. If you don't want to live, then stay here."
"This junior will leave immediately. Junior Zhou, retreat quickly." The middle-aged man heard this and his heart trembled. He hurriedly ordered his companions loudly.
After he finished speaking, he released a yellow flying boat and quickly left with his three companions.
"Thank you for your help, senior. We are very grateful." The white-clothed man and Huang Pingping looked at each other. The two of them quickly walked forward and expressed their gratitude.
Wang Changsheng's figure flashed and appeared beside Huang Pingping. A silver talisman was immediately placed on her body.
"Senior, you …" Huang Pingping's face changed greatly.
Seeing this, the white-clothed man had a vigilant look on his face and protected Huang Pingping behind him.
"Don't worry, this is just a Truth Questioning Talisman. I just want to ask you a few questions. If you're lying, this Truth Questioning Talisman will be able to detect it." Wang Changsheng said indifferently.
"May I know what senior wants to ask? This junior will definitely answer truthfully. "Huang Pingping said cautiously.
"Where did you get this Blue Serpent Sword from?" Wang Changsheng waved the blue short sword in his hand and asked.
"This was passed down to me by my mother. When this junior could remember, my mother gave this Blue Serpent Sword to me. She said that my uncle gave it to me. She also gave me this Green Garment Bead." Huang Pingping opened her right hand and a green bead appeared in her hand.
"Uncle? What's your mother's name? What about your father? "Wang Changsheng heard this and took a deep breath. He was a little excited as he asked.
"My mother's name is Wang Zhangxue. My father's name is Huang Qiping." Huang Pingping replied cautiously. She looked a little nervous.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng was ecstatic. He continued to ask, "Does your mother have any sisters or brothers?"
"My mother said that she has a younger brother and a younger sister. However, I've never seen them before." Huang Pingping thought carefully and replied.
"Is your uncle called Wang Changsheng? Is your aunt called Wang Zhangyue?" Wang Changsheng asked. He looked very excited.
"How did senior know?" Huang Pingping's eyes widened. Her face was full of shock. She immediately thought of something and gulped. She asked cautiously, "How should I address senior? Do you know my mother? "
"My name is Wang Changsheng. I'm your mother's younger brother. According to seniority, you should call me uncle." Wang Changsheng smiled at Huang Pingping and said word by word.
He thought that Wang Zhangyue was the only family left in the world. He didn't expect his elder sister's daughter to still be alive.
"Uncle?" Huang Pingping blinked. Her eyes were full of confusion.
Wang Changsheng nodded and said with a smile, "I'm the real deal. This Blue Serpent Sword and Green Garment Bead were given to you by me when you were born. I've even carried you before! By the way, how's your mother? "
"My mother and father have passed away many years ago." Huang Pingping's expression was a little sad. She hesitated and asked doubtfully, "Senior, are you really my uncle?"
"It's normal for you to doubt me. Something happened back then and I lost contact with your mother. I didn't expect it to be more than a hundred years. You're wearing your mother's protective magic tool right? Your mother was wearing this bracelet before she got married. "Wang Changsheng sighed and pointed at the snow-white bracelet on Huang Pingping's hand.
Hearing this, the confusion in Huang Pingping's eyes lessened.
"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else. Don't worry, with your uncle here, I won't let you marry anyone as a concubine." Wang Changsheng looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Huang Pingping's heart warmed. She immediately thought of something and pointed at the white clothed man. "By the way, senior, this is my senior brother, Li Shaobai."
"Junior Li Shaobai greets senior." The white clothed man bowed to Wang Changsheng. His expression was a little nervous.
"If you have anything to say, say it later! All of you, come with me. "Wang Changsheng nodded and instructed.
