C348 Backtrack
Xu Yanzhou tried to persuade Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao to stay, but Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao still left.
But to be on the safe side, before leaving, Lin Cheng sealed all the meridians in the manager's body. If the manager was really a devil, then if he had any unusual movements... The Spirit Power that Lin Cheng left in his body would immediately explode, causing his body to explode and die in an instant.
Seeing Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao quickly flying away, Xu Yanzhou cupped his fists towards their backs gratefully, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "As a rogue cultivator, these two men are really extraordinary to have such powerful strength."
After sighing, he quickly took out a Jade Chip and sent a message to the sect.
About four hours later, a few figures flew over from afar. When Xu Yanzhou saw them, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Disciple Xu Yanzhou greets the Third Elder and all the seniors."
When his gaze landed on one of the young girls, he immediately felt stunned. However, when he thought of the fact that this was a disciple of an expert from the Southern Domain, his strength was many times greater than his. He quickly shifted his gaze away, not daring to look at her any longer.
The one called Third Elder was a middle-aged Male Cultivator. He saw the corpse on the ground with a glance, and his face darkened as he asked, "What's going on?"
"The three of us were ordered to investigate the matter of the evil devils, but we didn't expect to be suddenly attacked..."
Xu Yanzhou quickly explained what happened in detail. When he mentioned that he was rescued by two rogue cultivators, the Third Elder only slightly nodded his head, but didn't say anything else. To the experts of the sect, rogue cultivators without any foundation were not worth mentioning.
After listening to Xu Yanzhou's narration, the Third Elder turned his head and said to a Formally Dressed Woman, "Senior sister Ming, this is another demonized human. Up until now, there are already dozens of living creatures showing signs of demonization."
The one called senior sister Ming was a charming and moving Formally Dressed Woman. She swept a glance at the corpse of the devil on the ground and said, "This person is only a mortal. He was only corroded by the Devil Qi. This means that he had come into contact with the devil or appeared near the devil."
The Third Elder nodded and said, "I think so too. It seems that there are definitely evil demons hiding in this generation."
When Xu Yanzhou heard their conversation, he couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "What?! This isn't a demon?"
He had personally experienced the scariness of this waiter before. His two brothers didn't even have the ability to resist and died under the sharp claws of this waiter. And he was also sent flying. Such a terrifying monster... And it wasn't a demon, but a mortal?
"Chi!"
At this time, a young man beside Formally Dressed Woman couldn't help but laugh. "If this was really a devil, you would have turned into a corpse by now. You can still stand here and speak? Not to mention two rogue cultivators, even if it was a Peak of Incarnation Stage cultivator, I might not be able to save you in the hands of demons!"
Xu Yanzhou's face immediately turned red. When he saw the disdainful look in the young man's eyes, he opened his mouth but did not dare to refute.
He knew that just like the stunning young girl, this handsome young man was also a disciple of Formally Dressed Woman. They were all experts from the Southern Domain. Even the elders and Sect Master had to receive them in an amicable manner. What's more, he was just a tiny Core Sea Stage cultivator?
"That might not be the case."
At this moment, the young girl who was wearing a tight suit said, "Although this shop assistant is just a mortal, he has been corrupted and demonized by the Devil Qi of the Evil Devils. He has become infinitely powerful, and his speed is also extremely fast. However, he doesn't know any combat techniques or magic techniques. He only knows how to rely on brute force. As long as he can deal with it properly, even if it's just an ordinary Core Sea Stage cultivator... We can also kill him."
"Junior sister, if it's a Core Sea Stage cultivator from our Southern Domain, then we can naturally kill those demonized humans with ease, but this cultivator from the Dongzhou..."
The young man shook his head. A look of disdain flashed across his eyes. He did not continue speaking, but the meaning behind his words could not be clearer. Obviously, in his opinion, the cultivator of the Dongzhou couldn't be compared to the cultivator of the Southern Domain.
Hearing this, the other few cultivators couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The Third Elder of Heavenly Star Sect couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times. As the elder of the biggest sect in Dongzhou, when he heard the young man from Southern Domain evaluating the Dongzhou in front of him, he naturally felt a little awkward.
"Qian Feng!"
Formally Dressed Woman glared at her disciple and said, "The Dongzhou only has a lack of spiritual energy and resources, but the natural talent of the Fellow Taoist in the Dongzhou is not necessarily worse than that of the Southern Domain."
The young man called Qian Feng hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Master. Disciple has misspoken."
The Third Elder laughed and said, "Senior sister Ming is right. Actually, the natural endowment of the cultivator in Dongzhou is not bad. Some people's natural talent is quite good, but they are affected by the lack of resources and spiritual energy. It's because of this that those geniuses with outstanding talent are unable to receive better cultivation. If Senior Sister Ming can bring some people with outstanding talent to the Southern Domain this time, becoming a disciple of the Formless Immortal Sect will be a great fortune for them."
Formally Dressed Woman waved her hand and said, "If there are talented people, it is not impossible to bring them to the Southern Domain. However, the main task this time is to investigate the matter of the evil devils. Since this mortal was corroded by the Devil Qi, it means that there were some Evil Devils hiding here. Let's make the best use of our time to investigate."
The Third Elder immediately nodded and said, "As the number one sect in Dongzhou, it is naturally our duty to investigate these evil devils..."
Xu Yanzhou immediately said, "Third Elder, this man is the owner of that restaurant. Because they are worried that he might be a hidden evil devil, the two rogue cultivators had sealed off his meridians before they left."
"Wuwuwu..."2
The owner of the restaurant was so scared that his entire body went limp. His face was deathly pale, and he couldn't even speak. He could only make wuwu sounds from his mouth, and his eyes were begging for mercy.
The Third Elder released the spiritual sense and inspected his body for a moment. Then, he shook his head and said, "This man isn't corroded by the Devil Qi, and he isn't a hidden evil demon."
He casually removed the Inhibition from the restaurant owner's body, and asked him about the waiter. However, the shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, and his heart was filled with panic. As for why the waiter had turned into a demon, he couldn't answer at all.
At this moment, the streets of this small town were already empty. Ever since they found out that there were devils here, no matter if it was the Adventurer or the people of this small town, they were already scared to death, and they hurriedly ran away.
In the end, the Third Elder and the others couldn't find anyone to ask even if they wanted to.
"Hu!"
The Third Elder waved his hand, and a space seemed to appear out of thin air in front of them. Within that space appeared the figures of the waiter and the shopkeeper. At the same time, it seemed as if the entire restaurant had appeared in front of them.
Formally Dressed Woman raised her eyebrows, "Divine ability, reversing to the source."
The beautiful girl immediately asked in a low voice, "Master, is this a divine ability?"
Formally Dressed Woman nodded and said, "That's right. This is a kind of divine power. It can detect what happened in a certain place or someone's body. The scene in front of us is so clear. It seems that the Third Elder's strength is extraordinary."
Third Elder used the divine ability as he said humbly, "Senior Sister Ming, you are too kind. This is only a support divine ability that cannot be displayed on the surface. It can only be used to check some things in the past. Moreover, my Cultivation Level is limited. I can only investigate what happened a few days ago. I won't be able to see it any further. "
Formally Dressed Woman did not speak. In her opinion, this divine ability that traced back to the source was indeed just a support divine ability that was not on the surface. It did not have any power to deal with an enemy. Very few experts in Southern Domain would cultivate this kind of useless divine ability.
However, this divine ability was most suitable to be used at this moment. She could clearly see who the waiter had met and where he had been in the past period of time.
However, she had some doubts. The Third Elder could only find out what had happened within a few days. She might not be able to find out how the waiter had been corroded by the Devil Qi, because she could tell from the corpse. The waiter had almost completely turned into a devil. It wouldn't be a day or two since he was corroded by the Devil Qi. Perhaps he had been corroded a long time ago.
Of course, there was also a possibility. The Devil Qi that the waiter had come into contact with in the past few days was extremely dense, so the demonization was very fast.
However, along with the passage of time in the scene displayed by the divine ability... The waiter was very normal. He had never even taken half a step out of the restaurant. It wasn't until the three disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect arrived that he revealed signs of devilization.
Very quickly, the scene of the devilized waiter attacking the trio of Xu Yanzhou appeared in his divine ability. Two cultivator were killed one after another, causing the expressions of the Third Elder and the other few cultivators of the Heavenly Star Sect to turn ugly.
A look of disdain flashed across Qian Feng's eyes. He curled his lips. What a pity! The Heavenly Star Sect was known as the number one sect in the Dongzhou, but the disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect didn't even have the courage to resist. And this was only when facing a demonized human. If they were really facing a devil... These people would only die for sure.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Formally Dressed Woman was slightly surprised and her eyes slightly widened. In her line of sight, a young man and a woman appeared in the scene of the Third Elder's divine ability.
These two people were Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao. Soon after, the scene of Lin Cheng and the devil fighting appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The beautiful girl immediately asked, "Master, did you see the devil? Could it be that there is something wrong with this young man?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including the Third Elder, looked at Formally Dressed Woman.
"No!"
Shaking her head slightly, Formally Dressed Woman's eyes fell on a corner of the scene and asked, "Is this girl another rogue cultivator?"
Xu Yanzhou was stunned. Following Formally Dressed Woman's gaze, he immediately saw a bright and beautiful young lady holding a knife to the shopkeeper's neck and restraining him.
"Replying to senior, this is another rogue cultivator." Xu Yanzhou hurriedly cupped his fists and said.
"Do you know their identity?" Formally Dressed Woman immediately asked, "Where did they go?"
"Senior sister Ming, could it be that there is something wrong with this girl?" Third Elder immediately asked.
