Tai He Appeared

Fang Pengyi led his men to search every inch of Pill Peak, including Song Wen's cave abode and the Human-Snake Cavern, but they found no trace of Song Wen.

"Could it be that Wu Sheng has betrayed the sect?"

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Fang Pengyi's heart.

This morning, 'Wu Sheng' took away from him corpse path spiritual materials worth millions, as well as four Star Star-Soul Grass.

News came from Spirit Beast Peak that 'Wu Sheng' had also taken away two thousand flesh balls.

Moreover, 'Wu Sheng' purchased a large quantity of spirit medicine and pills.

In addition, 'Wu Sheng' stole the Earthcore Smelting Flame.

All signs indicate that this was a premeditated defection.

Fang Pengyi's face grew increasingly gloomy.

Although the treasures that 'Wu Sheng' absconded with were quite valuable, they were of little consequence to the Beast Taming Sect.

However, Wu Sheng is involved in the refining of the Man-Snake Profound Corpse. Wu Sheng has suddenly disappeared. Where can a suitable person be found to refine the corpse in an instant?

How can I explain to the First Supreme Being that the refining of the Man-Snake Profound Corpse has been delayed?

Fang Pengyi was in a state of turmoil.

Just as they were about to head to the Law Enforcement Hall to retrieve Song Wen's Soul Lamp and use secret techniques to search for Song Wen's whereabouts, they received a report from the Law Enforcement Hall.

About an incense stick's time later, 'Wu Sheng's' Soul Lamp went out.

"What? Wu Sheng?"

Fang Pengyi looked on incredulously.

How did Wu Sheng suddenly die?

How could Wu Sheng have died?

Fang Pengyi knew there was something fishy about this matter.

It is highly likely that 'Wu Sheng' is still alive, but it is unknown how he managed to extinguish the Soul Lamp in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Without the Soul Lamp, the only way to find Wu Sheng's whereabouts is to start with the people around him.

Therefore, Zhou Siyi, Rong Jingyun, Liu Jiang, Zhang Bing, and Li Shi, who usually had close ties with Song Wen, became the main targets of questioning.

However, after several inquiries, no useful information was obtained.

While investigating Song Wen, Fang Pengyi could only begin searching for people skilled in corpse refining.

Time flies.

Just when Fang Pengyi was about to forget about 'Wu Sheng'.

Outside the Beast Taming Sect, a man and a woman arrived.

The man was dressed in a blue robe, had a square face, and exuded an air of righteousness.

The woman was Yan Yiwen, who had escaped from Song Wen's clutches.

The square-faced man is her master, the one who will plunder her cultivation and Yin Essence. He is the Supreme Elder of the Nine Palaces Sect, Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator Tai He.

The two did not enter the Beast Taming Sect, but stopped on a mountain peak dozens of miles outside the Beast Taming Sect.

Tai He flicked his finger, unleashing a burst of magical Law Power.

A burst of Law Power pierced through the air and landed deep within the Beast Taming Sect.

A few dozen breaths later, a figure flew out from the Beast Taming Sect and arrived at the mountain peak where the two were.

"Tai He, your Nine Palaces Sect disregards the greater good of the world and has betrayed the righteous path as a whole. You even dare to venture alone into the territory of the righteous path. Aren't you afraid of being besieged by the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the righteous path and perishing here?"

The newcomer was a female cultivator, dressed in a dark blue long robe.

Her long hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, with a few strands dancing lightly in the wind, giving her a rather carefree appearance.

The woman's face was serene, and her eyes were deep.

She was Mi He, the second Supreme Elder of the Beast Mi He Beast Taming Sect and a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.

"Mi He, it's been so many years since we last met. Are you going to threaten your old friend as soon as we reunite?" Tai He.

"Old friend? I wouldn't dare accept that title."

Mi He cut to the chase, asking, "You've come all this way from afar, surely not just to chat idly?"

Tai He, "I want to ask you for someone, a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect."

Mi He sneered, "What makes you think I'll give you people just because you want them?"

Tai He, "Don't you want to hear my conditions? I only want a Foundation Establishment cultivator; I won't make things difficult for you."

"Our Beast Taming Sect is a righteous sect with its own principles of conduct. How could we, like you Heretical Demons and Outer Dao, disregard the safety of our disciples for petty gains? Let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator, we would never entrust even a newly initiated disciple to you."

Mi He's voice was firm and resolute, her expression resolute and determined.

"One hundred Superior Spirit Stones."

"Heh..." Mi He disdainful.

"Two hundred Superior Spirit Stones."

"Tai He, you'd better leave quickly. Yang Yu hasn't been in the sect lately. If he happens to return, it won't be so easy for you to leave."

"Five hundred Superior Spirit Stones are far too little for a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"Do you Mi He, am someone who lacks a few hundred Spirit Stone?" Mi He said mockingly.

Tai He remained silent for a moment, looking pained, then gritted his teeth and said, "A 'Minor Teleportation Talisman'."

Upon Mi He, Mihe's lips curled into a smug smile.

He looked as if his scheme had succeeded.

She held out a hand. "And we'll add the five hundred Spirit Stone from before."

Tai He, "Mi He, you have quite the appetite. A Foundation Establishment cultivator wants one of my 'Minor Teleportation Talisman' and five hundred Superior Spirit Stones."

Mi He, "A transaction naturally requires mutual consent."

Tai He, "Okay, deal."

Without him making any move, a portrait appeared out of thin air.

The person in the portrait is none other than Song Wen in disguise, 'Wu Sheng'.

Mi He stared at the portrait for a moment, then took out a blank Jade Slip inscribed some information on it.

With a wave of his hand, the Jade Slip flew towards the Beast Taming Sect.

"Wait a moment, someone will bring you the person you requested."

Tai He nodded and said nothing more.

Upon seeing this, Yan Yiwen looked at Tai He with gratitude.

"I will forever remember your kindness, Master."

Tai He remained calm. "This is an agreement we made long ago. Your request will be granted soon. Don't go back on your promise."

Two hundred years ago, Tai He obtained the method of drawing Minor Teleportation Talisman in a High Antiquity secret realm.

The materials required for this talisman are extremely precious, and the process of creating it is incredibly difficult.

After Tai He obtained the method of drawing this talisman, he passed it on to other Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Nine Palaces Sect.

To date, only Tai He in the entire Heavenly Origin Realm has successfully drawn Minor Teleportation Talisman, and the success rate is extremely low.

The Minor Teleportation Talisman is like a portable miniature Teleportation Array, capable of instantly transporting a person randomly to a distance of two or three hundred miles.

Unlike the Blood Shield spell, it does not consume Essence Blood with each cast.

The Minor Teleportation Talisman has virtually no side effects.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Minor Teleportation Talisman that Tai He dared to venture alone into the territory of the righteous path.

The fact that he could exchange a Minor Teleportation Talisman for Song Wen shows how much he values Yan Yiwen.

A moment later.

The three did not see Song Wen, but instead met Fang Pengyi sect leader.

"Why did you come alone? Where are the people I asked you to bring?"

Mi He displeased.

She had already agreed on a price with Tai He and promised to hand the person over to Tai He.

Fang Pengyi's failure to bring the person made her feel humiliated.

Fang Pengyi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that man's name was 'Wu Sheng,' and he suddenly disappeared a year ago. His Soul Lamp has also been extinguished."

Yan Yiwen escaped from Song Wen's clutches, but was seriously injured.

She found a secluded place to treat her injuries before setting off back to the Nine Palaces Sect.

A year has passed in this period.
