”Then when we came in earlier, what was that bewitching illusion?”
Qianhe Zi sighed and said tiredly, ”This is the demon qi in my body. This kind of demon qi is very insidious. It can invade the body, and just a little bit can cause people to hallucinate and consume their Profound Qi.”
Looking at the Qian He in front of me, my mind raced as I pondered the sequence of events. After a long while, the corner of my mouth drew out a smile as I sneered, ”Qian He Zi, Bai He, you really know how to scheme. Although your story can barely explain a lot of things and your act is very similar, you have overlooked a person.”
”What do you mean?” Do you not believe me? ” A hint of anger emerged from Qian Hezi's tone, and he acted very well.
”It's not that I don't believe you, but rather, you're not Thousand Crane Zi at all. Where did I get this trust from?”
”If I am not Qianhe Zi, then who is?”
”Qian Hezi, I do not know why your name is Qian Hezi. However, as I've said before, you have neglected a person.”
”Who?”
”Ouyang Yuan!”
”Yuan'er?”
I quietly took a few steps back and stood in front of Zhan Tian, blocking his unconscious body. ”You said that Ouyang Yuan hadn't recovered yet because of the demonic energy entering his body. That's why he looked like that old woman, but you didn't know that she only revealed her true appearance a few days ago. She thought I couldn't see her, but in truth, I can see her better than anyone else!” ”Also, I'm a soul cultivator. I used my soul piece to check her body, but there aren't any injuries at all. Her face is the same as yours, fake!”
”Impossible!”
Qianhe Zi revealed a vicious look as his eyes burned with anger. He glared at me and said in a stern voice, ”She can't betray me, White Fox, I don't know what methods you used to make her betray me, but today, you won't be able to walk out of here!”
”Hahahaha, you really aren't Qian He!”
Qian Hezi was stunned for a moment and suddenly reacted, ”You lied to me!”
”Humph, demonic energy? One yuan? Simply put, I have seen demonic qi and it has no such effect. With your cultivation, a mere demonic qi would last for tens of years. Why would you need to spend hundreds of years to force it out? Yiyuan, do you think I don't know anything about Yi Yuan School? Yi Yuan School indeed only has a master and disciple, but they haven't seen each other for a long time, so how do you have the opportunity to get to know Yuanzi? Moreover, Yi Yuan School and Nanke Immortal Sect are related, and with the cultivation level you described, it is simply impossible to hurt him, so how can we perish together? The illusion that we saw just now was not caused by demonic energy at all, it was clearly a magical technique! If I guessed correctly, you aren't a real person. The word 'Thousand Mirage Faction', 'Illusion', is also what it is! ”
When Qian Hezi heard it, he suddenly laughed out loud and sent a palm strike over. I also sent out a palm strike and it pierced through her body. With a 'peng' sound, her entire body exploded outwards, turning into a fist-sized ice crane and slowly broke into pieces.
”Ji Shi's eyesight is really good, it's good to deduce!”
Although I didn't turn around, I could clearly see the fate soul within Zhan Tian's body. The current Qian Hezi looked exactly the same as the one before, but the veil on his face hadn't been lifted at all, and his voice wasn't as old as before.
”Yuan Ziyu's injuries must be fake, right?”
”It is indeed fake, but I have caused some small spells. She will wake up after a few hours without any injuries. The reason why I asked her to act out this play is to see if you would ignore the details because of your emotions.”
”Then why are you doing all this?”
Chieko walked slowly to the stage and looked down at me. ”For you!”
I was shocked. ”Me?”
”That's right!” ”White Fox, you're a Soul Cultivator. I knew about you from Yuan-er Qing'er. However, I can't be at ease without personally seeing your abilities. I'll entrust this task to you.”
”Delegation? You want me to do something for you? ”
”No, it's a deal!”
”You want to make a deal with me? ”What kind of deal?”
Bai Xianzi sat cross-legged and looked at me calmly. However, she probably didn't know that I wasn't blind when I said I could see.
I can already see your level of power, a cultivation base comparable to the Heavenly Dipper Realm. I truly want to see your eyes, and with the Soul Cultivator's special methods, you can complete the mission I've entrusted to you. As for you, you can also get something from me that will benefit you.
”Tell me what you want me to do first.”
”I want you to help me investigate Yi Yuan School!”
”Yi Yuan School again?” The stories that your clone told us earlier were all lies, right? ”
Qianhe Zi smiled. Due to the veil, I could only see a vague outline. I didn't know what the smile meant.
”Guess?”
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. ”Where should I guess?”
”Go to Yi Yuan School and see if you can find Yuanzi. When you find him, hand this jade pendant over to him!”
Qian Hezi stretched out his hand and handed me a jade pendant that was slightly bigger than a fingernail. The jade pendant was very ordinary and didn't have any spiritual energy fluctuations.
”Yi Yuan School is extremely mysterious, I don't even know where the gate to the sect is, how can I find it?”
”Actually, it's very easy to find. Go to the old city, there is a mountain there, and it's very ordinary. It's called Mount Qiao Mu. If they didn't leave, they would have been there.”
”Since you know the address, why don't you go yourself? Or send your disciples? ”Why did you pick me?”
