On the flying boat.
Zhao Wuwei, who claimed to be a member of the Immortal Patrol Bureau, possessed a powerful aura of Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator, with a faint military aura emanating from him. It was likely that if he clashed with a cultivator in seclusion, he would shatter the cultivator's aura, demonstrating that he was truly a person who held the power of life and death.
A strange light flickered in Zhao Wuwei's eyes, which triggered Chen Shuangbai's Divine Sense. Chen Shuangbai instinctively retaliated against this strange movement.
Zhao Wuwei staggered back half a step, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with only surprise and uncertainty.
Seeing this, the two men behind him stepped forward, drew their swords, and shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
Zhao Wuwei raised his hand to stop his two subordinates behind him. His gaze was solemn as he looked at Chen Shuangbai, who had remained silent throughout. His tone softened slightly as he raised his hand in greeting. " With High-Grade Law Treasure weapon protecting you, you are not some rogue Rogue Cultivator without a sect."
Please don't make things difficult for me.
Chen Shuangbai stared silently at the group of people before her, her mind racing.
The Great Chu Dynasty has a tight legal system. While I could certainly kill the people in front of me, they probably have a life-soul connection with the Immortal Patrol Bureau. Killing them might attract the attention of Spirit Transformation cultivators, or even Nascent Soul Transformation cultivators.
Chen Shuangbai understood.
My immediate priority is to go to Pillow Stream Mountain to find out where the ancestral temple is and whether the Heavenly River Lineage has been completely eradicated, rather than getting into conflict with the Great Chu Dynasty.
Having made up his mind, Chen Shuangbai smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I am indeed not Rogue Cultivator, but a cultivator from the Azure Creek Sect Cloud Kingdom."
"This misunderstanding arose because I was unfamiliar with the customs within the Great Chu territory. My apologies."
Chen Shuangbai smiled and took out a brocade pouch from her sleeve. She used her Law Power to present it to the three of them. A clinking sound came from the pouch, and many Spirit Stone collided inside.
Since it is a dynasty, it is impossible for it to be without corrupt officials.
Chen Shuangbai had already heard the rumors along the way in the markets and towns. The job of the Immortal Patrol Bureau was both a tough and a lucrative one.
Furthermore, Chen Shuangbai learned from casual conversations that the Azure Creek Sect did indeed exist within the Cloud Kingdom.
Furthermore, Cloud Kingdom is outside of Great Chu, so even if Great Chu wanted to investigate, it would take time.
Zhao Wuwei lowered his gaze slightly, glanced at the brocade pouch floating in front of him, but did not immediately reach out to take it.
However, his two subordinates behind him showed signs of interest.
"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood."
To Chen Shuangbai's surprise, Zhao Wuwei did not reach out to take it, but instead pushed the brocade pouch away.
The Golden Core soldier, with a dignified and solemn expression, said, "We, the Immortal Patrol Bureau, are performing our duties and cannot accept bribes. Otherwise, when I return, our entire team will be punished."
"So, fellow Daoist, you mean...?"
Chen Shuangbai pretended not to understand, and then saw the soldier in front of her raise his hand and a piece of iron token appear. It was shining with light and already had many names and Law Power imprints on it.
Zhao Wuwei said, "Judging from your pure aura, you must be a recluse cultivating in the mountains and rivers... According to the rules of our Immortal Patrol Bureau, please leave your real name and Law Power imprint, and the registration will be complete."
"Afterwards, within the territory of my Great Chu, as long as you do not violate the laws of my Great Chu, you will naturally be safe and sound."
So that's how it is.
Chen Shuangbai feigned sudden realization, raised her hand, and a wisp of Law Power landed on it, followed by the name [ Deng Li ].
Seeing that he had lost his title and Law Power, Zhao Wuwei felt somewhat relieved.
The two exchanged a few more words, and the man was about to leave when Chen Shuangbai stopped him, asking, "May I ask... I noticed that those two fellow Daoists behind me have a faint Sha Qi, and their Law Power seems unstable. Were they just engaged in combat?"
Zhao Wuwei gave Chen Shuangbai a meaningful look, thinking to himself that although this person was only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he was surprisingly perceptive, but he said nothing, only saying, "This matter involves military secrets."
After saying this, the man turned and left.
Before long, the seven flying dragon boats freed themselves from the chains binding Chen Shuangbai's flying boat, and after a burst of bright light, they gradually disappeared into the clouds.
After they had completely departed, Feiguang finally stepped out of the boat. Looking in the direction they had gone, he said somewhat impatiently, "My lord, the name 'Immortal Patrol Bureau '... is quite prestigious!"
The Immortal Patrol Bureau Immortal Patrol Bureau... isn't this tantamount to a dynasty placing itself above the Immortal Dao?
This is undoubtedly an insult to those who pursue a carefree life in the immortal Immortal Dao!
No wonder, there are basically no strong immortal sects in the Great Chu territory.
However, Chen Shuangbai did not intend to focus his energy on the establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty, but rather on the pure demonic energy swirling around these people.
Judging from their hurried expressions, these people must have something important to do.
And that Zhao Wuwei, probably realizing that I was a bit troublesome, decided to settle for second best, only letting me leave a Law Power imprint and my name, and then sending a flying dragon boat far behind, probably wanting to test my true strength.
Of course, Chen Shuangbai could understand these things.
only...
"I just tried to pry open this person's memories using the Supreme Yin Illusory Spirit Method, but I discovered a unique sealing restriction that sealed this person's sea of consciousness inside and out. I almost didn't find it at all."
Although Chen Shuangbai didn't possess particularly profound illusion techniques, the Supreme Yin Illusory Spirit Method he had acquired was mysteriously designed, naturally surpassing many illusion techniques. Coupled with his Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation, how could Zhao Wuwei, Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator, possibly defend against it?
"A seal left behind by Spirit Transformation... or some kind of Spirit Treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Feiguang also abandoned his contempt.
A glimpse of the whole picture through a tube!
Chen Shuangbai could discover a lot from this person alone, which showed that the Great Chu was able to occupy the fertile Eastern Domain, support millions of ordinary people, and provide for many military cultivators. Naturally, it had its own methods and resources!
The airship continued its journey.
After following Chen Shuangbai had indeed not done anything out of line, decided to leave.
The flying boat flew forward for several more days before slowly landing in a county town.
After Chen Shuangbai cast an illusion spell on Feiguang to conceal his aura and true appearance, Feiguang plunged into the crowd to gather information.
Chen Shuangbai then stayed at a cultivator's residence in the city.
Not long after.
Feiguang is back.
He pushed open the door and entered, his face showing a hint of seriousness. He slowly recounted the information he had gathered:
" The Great Chu is very good at keeping news secret; what's circulating in the public now is probably just bits and pieces."
"However, some news also came that the Huang Clan family, a cultivation Lineage in the neighboring Anyang Commandery, was causing trouble. They were practicing Evil Dao and Devil Cultivation Method without authorization, and they set up a demonic altar in Anyang Commandery, sacrificing all the people of the county to bring down a demon."
"Currently, the Divine Martial Bureau of the Great Chu has dispatched several Nascent Soul cultivators to hunt down that demon, and as a result... has taken control of more than a dozen nearby counties. Therefore, the Immortal Patrol Bureau is constantly searching along the way for those of unknown origin."
"A demon?" Chen Shuangbai, somewhat surprised.
According to the pamphlet he had previously obtained, these evil spirits are generally remnants of the four major demonic sects, and are probably evil creatures such as the Secret Devil, the Blood Devil, and the Heavenly Devil.
This is a trick that several of the Seven Devil Sects are most adept at... I'm afraid someone is using the Huang Clan as a front to deliberately cause trouble for the Great Chu!
Feiguang nodded slightly; he thought so too.
"No wonder there are so many guards patrolling this market town; you need to register your name, place of origin, and Law Power imprint to enter."
After a moment's thought, Chen Shuangbai decided not to stay there any longer.
"No!"
"With this commotion, that demon is probably not easy to deal with. If we don't leave now, it will be even more difficult to leave later!"
