Chapter 144 Ghost (Subscribe)
The four immortal cultivators patrolling the area showed no expression at Wu Tao's timidity. One of the patrolling immortal cultivators said, "Bring your lease contract here, we're going to check it."
Wu Tao nodded immediately and said: "Please wait a moment, sir. The lease contract is in the room. I will get it right away."
After that, Wu Tao went back to his residence and dug out a box under the bed. As if he was really a low-level cultivator, he put all his precious things under the bed and locked them in the box. He opened the lock and took out the rental fee from it. contract.
Then he turned back and handed this over respectfully.
The patrol cultivator looked at it and asked, "Did you just move here today? Or is it a short-term contract?"
Hearing this, Wu Tao was keenly aware that when they heard about the short-term contract, the other patrol immortal cultivators were obviously on alert and all looked at him.
Wu Tao quickly pretended to be worried and said: "Sir, I did move here today..."
The immortal cultivator from the patrol team took out a treasured mirror to exorcise evil spirits, looked at Wu Tao, and said, "He doesn't have any ghost magic weapon on him..."
Then, he took out another magic weapon and said to Wu Tao: "Put your breath into it."
Wu Tao knew that this was a magic weapon for checking breath. If the breath was covered, it would be detected by the magic weapon. However, he was very confident in his master-level bone-transformation technique, so he was not afraid to transfer the breath into That magic weapon.
When he entered the aura, Wu Tao could notice that the vigilance of these patrol immortal cultivators had increased a bit, and they were ready to take action immediately if Wu Tao made the slightest move.
But as Wu Tao's breath entered, the magic weapon did not respond for a long time. Wu Tao looked at the other party and asked: "Sir, do you want to continue to enter the breath?"
The four patrol immortal cultivators breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
The patrol immortal cultivator who checked Wu Tao's breath said: "No need, go back to the house."
Wu Tao immediately stopped taking in the breath, turned around and went back to the house, slowly closed the door, and followed the crack in the door with his eyes, watching the four patrol immortal cultivators turning around and talking.
Wu Tao was in the marrow refining stage and his Qi refining level was higher than these four people, so he heard their conversation.
"Lao Yu, are we too nervous? Looking at his expression, he is submissive. It seems that he is a low-level casual cultivator, not a low-level casual cultivator. How can he pretend to be like this?"
"Old Zheng, it's not that we are nervous. You must know that those who have entered the city recently are our key targets for investigation... This time the Yinhun Sect came to Dongcheng. I heard that there is something important..."
"The Qingling Sect issued a death order, and we must find out all the Yinhun Sect's demon brats hiding in the East City..."
"This breath-detecting magic weapon can detect the Qi-refining stage. There is no problem with that person just now... Unless he is in the Foundation-building stage, but the Yinhun Sect demon cultivator in the Foundation-building stage, according to the intelligence above, has not come to the East City... …”
"What are some demon cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage coming to Dongcheng for?"
"It's not your place to ask. Don't ask blindly... Let's go and continue working. Don't underestimate this shanty town. It is said that strong men such as Jie Xiu are not hidden in shanty towns... You still have to be careful..."
Gradually going away, Wu Tao’s voice behind him was no longer heard.
He closed the door completely, then sat back on the futon, his eyes moved slightly, and said to himself: "It turns out that people from the Yinhun Sect came to Dongcheng. No wonder... Only people from the devil's way can lead to the right way when they come to the territory of the right way. With great fanfare..."
"Last time Wuquan Mountain and Ghost Dao Sect were also..."
"Isn't it possible that the Yinhun Sect also wants to fight with the Qingling Sect this time? It's possible that although the people in the demonic path are also a combination of interests, most of the demonic cultivators in them are not normal..."
The Yin Hun Sect is one of the six demon sects. As you can tell from the name, it is a demon sect that sacrifices and refines the ghosts.
Wu Tao once heard a legend about the Yin Hun Sect. It said that there was an old monster in the Yin Hun Sect who suddenly went crazy and ran to a city of immortal cultivators in Zijin Cave. Magical weapon.
The Yinhun Sect is one of the most powerful sects among the six sects of the Demonic Path.
"Could it be that you want to refine the casual cultivators from Dongcheng into magic weapons?"
This idea popped up in Wu Tao's mind unconsciously. Once it popped up, he became even more restless.
"It seems that we still need to occasionally inquire about the news. If we see something is wrong, we have to leave Dongcheng." The Yin Hun Sect massacred the city to sacrifice the Yin Hun. It is not that it has never happened before.
What if these Qi Refining Demonic Cultivators of the Yinhun Sect are just a cover?
And the real purpose is to turn Dongcheng's casual cultivators into ghosts?
If that's the case...
It was too late for Wu Tao to leave by then.
Always consider the worst, this is Wu Tao's survival principle.
"Even if the Yinhun Sect really plans to sacrifice the casual cultivators in the East City, they must contain the foundation-building immortal cultivators guarded by the Qingling Sect so that they can have time to perform the sacrifices. If the worst case scenario really happens, will this happen? "This is the best time for me to get out of the city."
As long as the foundation-building immortal cultivator cannot escape, Wu Tao is sure to escape with the help of the patrol team and the Qi refining period.
"Tomorrow, be careful and use the bone-transformation technique to find out the news."
Wu Tao made up his mind to continue practicing.
The day passed quickly.
On this day, nothing happened for the time being.
But Wu Tao still couldn't help but think of Chen Yao. Although he agreed to come for three days, he patched it up after three days. He had said before that he would be back that night.
Chen Yao will definitely be worried.
Wu Tao opened the door. It was just getting light outside. At this time, he could not find out anything by going outside. He took a look and saw that there were no casual cultivators outside. He closed the door again and planned to practice for an hour before going out.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon and consuming a purple spirit pill, Wu Tao went out.
Coming to an empty alley, he quickly changed his face with the bone-shifting and shape-changing technique, changed his breath, changed his clothes, and then went out.
After leaving the shantytown, he found that there were still casual cultivators on the street, and the shops on the market street were still open.
However, there were also checkpoints set up at the end of the street and alley. Whenever passing the checkpoints, the identity and breath identification had to be checked. As long as the demons came, this kind of search would become normal.
Wu Tao checked honestly, and the other party did not find out that he had changed his breath and face.
An hour later, Wu Tao returned to his residence.
The information he got was valid.
He did not dare to ask openly.
I can only rely on my keen hearing to go to those shops with Qingling Sect background to listen to the inside information of those shopkeepers.
Last night, three battles took place.
A battle at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Three demon cultivators from Yinhun Sect were found and fought on the spot.
One was seriously injured, one was captured, and another one escaped with minor injuries, and no one knew where he was hiding.
