Chapter 152 The Three Parties Gather at the Serpent Sea
Chapter 152 The Three Parties Gather at the Serpent Sea
What Master Baocheng disliked was not that his own disciples had been arrested.
Rather, he had long planned to capture Fairy Shecai, but feared that Bao Wu would interrogate her properly, find clues, and seize the initiative, so he was naturally displeased.
However, this decision was made internally by the Seven Immortals, and Master Baocheng had no choice but to accept it.
"In another month or so, the repair of the great formation will be completed. At that time, the Seven True Ones will go out together to cooperate with the great formation to monitor the situation. Instead of searching for treasures in the sea, they will search the island. No matter who is hiding in the shadows, they will dismantle this Xiaoxin Island and find out the truth."
"It all depends on whether Bao Wu makes a statement first..."
Master Baocheng shifted his gaze away from that area in the inner city.
He suspected that the person who was so audacious as to secretly plot against him and the enchantress Shecai was the one who dared to do so.
I just don't know how well Bao Wu Zhenren's review is going.
In response to the Seven True Ones' decision, Master Baocheng had already taken away all the young bloodline descendants he had found from the Western Sea, leaving only a few people to serve him.
"—Huh?"
Master Baocheng held the array plate in his hand, then suddenly frowned, sensing something and his expression changed slightly.
He stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then vanished from the spot.
At the foot of the south wall of the inner city.
Cheng Wu was holding a sound transmission jade talisman, listening to something.
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that his master, Master Baocheng, was already in front of him.
"What language are they speaking over there?"
Master Baocheng asked.
Cheng Wu immediately said, "It's a letter from the northern land reclamation area that I'm in charge of. It seems there's been some change."
Master Baocheng remained expressionless. After a moment, he shook his head and sighed, "I've been monitoring the Immortal City and have often heard that you send messages out through secret passages, which even the great formation can't intercept. I didn't believe it at first, but I stumbled upon it today."
Cheng Wu, who was none other than the Venerable Jinwu, changed his expression drastically upon hearing this, and bowed his head, saying, "This disciple was merely arranging the spiritual land in the north; please, Master, discern the truth!"
"No need to say anything more!"
Master Baocheng raised his hand and pointed, igniting a yellow light at his fingertip. The Golden Wutong Master felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and was immobilized in place.
Master Baocheng used his magic to draw the sound transmission jade talisman in his hand, and then struck out with his palm, aiming directly at the forehead of Master Jinwu.
"Chengwu, I saw you once before Chengwu lured out the bewitching demon. You were actually a suspect. But I kept you in charge of some administrative tasks because I didn't have many clever people under my command."
"The grand formation is nearing completion, and I've witnessed it now. No need for further words; I will ask the questions myself!"
This was the divine thought of the Foundation Establishment stage, which directly entered the mind of Venerable Jinwu.
Before Master Jinwu could react, Master Baocheng had already struck him on the head with a palm.
Why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator need to interrogate a Qi Refining disciple he suspects?
Just start searching for their souls!
"So that's how it is... What a confused and distorted soul."
After a while.
Using his magical power, Master Baocheng pulled out several Fire Separation Talismans from the sleeve of the still immobilized Golden Wu Shangren. These were the very talismans that the Blood Slave was originally meant to use for self-immolation at any time.
Master Baocheng had only recently witnessed this matter, so he was naturally on guard now.
He never expected that after personally inspecting for so long, he would have to trace it back to his own disciple before finally finding the real culprit.
"It's really hard to see what kind of methods he's been using. Cheng Wu looks like an ordinary person, but his soul is completely oblivious. I highly recommend 'Blood Clan Cultivation Notes'! Click to go directly to the story world. What kind of methods are they using to deceive him... There are still methods in the East Sea that my Ruyi Immortal Sect cannot recognize. How strange."
Master Baocheng searched Jinwu Shangren's soul for a while, but couldn't figure out who was behind it from that ignorant soul. He thought to himself, no wonder Baowu's investigation had taken so long without any results.
However, one location remembered in the soul of Venerable Jinwu is worth noting.
"The Serpent Sea... this jade talisman's voice transmission must have originated from there..."
Bao Cheng Zhenren felt as if he had caught a big fish.
In this way, his long-term surveillance, working day and night, has not been in vain.
Without notifying anyone else, he simply locked Jinwu Shangren in his cave, while Baocheng Zhenren quietly left the city and headed north.
With the sword pointing, the mountain rocks are cleared into a path.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Master Baocheng traveled from the Immortal City across the northern lands and arrived at the Overseas Snake Sea.
During this journey, he also deciphered the communication jade talisman of the Golden Wutong Master, and learned that Fairy Shecai had appeared in the Northern Serpent Sea and was directly slaughtering people.
"Even that vixen Shecai has come here; something's definitely up!"
Bao Cheng Zhenren became more and more excited as he thought about it, and hurriedly crossed the waters of the Snake Sea.
In the middle of it, a group of local cultivators from the Serpent Sea who had been captured by Fairy Shecai bumped into True Person Baocheng. As soon as they recognized Lingguang's face, they immediately cried out for help from the sect.
Master Baocheng had no patience for them. He grabbed the two men and skillfully performed a soul search. Upon learning that Fairy Shecai was still in the north, he immediately abandoned the two cultivators who had been left in a daze by the soul search.
With a roaring sound all the way, we arrived at the northwest side of the Snake Sea.
Outside Blood Bamboo Island, miasma lingers and thick fog rises into the sky.
Master Baocheng arrived excitedly, pointed his magic sword, and used his signature technique, the Zhengyao Wantu Guiliu Sword Art, to cleave Blood Bamboo Island in two from top to bottom.
The miasma dissipated, and Master Baocheng swooped down.
"She Cai, you really are here! Who's the other person?"
"Don't go! Let's have a proper talk!"
As Master Baocheng landed, he hastily probed with his divine sense and saw a three-foot-long snake being forcibly torn in two, from which boundless miasma leaked out, engulfing his probing divine sense.
"It hurts so much!"
Bao Cheng arrived in an instant and left just as quickly, flying through the area of Blood Bamboo Island while clutching his head.
Amidst the miasma, Master Baocheng heard Shecai's shouts again, pleading with someone in the other direction, "Don't go any further! You've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage; your cultivation has reached its limit. Will you go or not?"
Indeed, this is a groundbreaking achievement in foundation building!
Once the miasma dissipated, Blood Bamboo Island, now split in two, was left behind. Master Baocheng looked around and saw that Shecai and the other person had vanished without a trace. It seemed that neither side took him, the troublemaker, seriously.
"They escaped pretty quickly..."
Master Baocheng held a wisp of poisonous miasma in his hand, secretly regretting it.
He wanted to scheme against Shecai, but unfortunately, the other side didn't give him any chance.
After thoroughly searching Blood Bamboo Island, they found only a trace of the miasma in their hands. Master Baocheng cursed his bad luck.
"...Once the great formation is repaired, I'll find you two sooner or later!"
Helpless, Master Baocheng turned back and arrived in the middle of the Snake Sea.
A group of cultivators who had been captured by Shecai cried out for help again.
Master Baocheng smiled and said, "Never mind right or wrong, let's take you away for thorough questioning first!"
Immediately, Master Baocheng cast a spell, holding a white, shimmering pearl-like spiritual artifact, and took away the people whose muscles and bones were weak in the water. Those who had escaped were apprehended by the Seven True Ones in the name of the cultivators who had opened up the desolate spiritual lands on either side.
After several days of work, Master Baocheng finally took all the cultivators from the Serpent Sea away, as if they were carrying a load of goods.
