Chapter 345 Curiosity Kills People
"Shadow Trace Technique!"

Li Lengchan's face looked even uglier than after eating Xiang.

"Fixing Space Nail" and "Shadow Trace Technique" are legendary spells that even the powerful Nascent Soul might not be able to cast, and he had only seen them in his master's sect.

The shadows on the ground became more and more lively, and their clothes became fluttering. Slowly, they stood up directly and stood in front of Li Lengchan.

The shadow's face was not clear, but he could only see that he was wearing a large robe and had a pair of strange light green pupils.

Li Lengchan hurriedly held the knife in front of him.

"Are you a weapon?"

Shadow's eyes flickered and he asked coldly.

"What kind of weapon? I'm afraid I got the wrong person, senior. I'm a staff member of the Shadow Market. This is my identity plate."

Li Lengchan was stared at by those strange eyes, and he hurriedly took out his market nameplate to prove his identity, hoping to use the reputation of the market to scare away the opponent.

The shadow moved slightly and became slender, swimming over like a rope.

Li Lengchan was horrified and exclaimed: "Senior, what are you going to do? Stop! If you don't stop, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that his sword power was fully unleashed, a blade of light struck at the shadow.

But like penetration, it cannot have any impact on the shadow.

Li Lengchan's face was ashen, and the shadow shuttled back and forth a few times, then tied him up tightly, and then penetrated his mouth with the front end.

"Wow, woohoo..."

Li Lengchan struggled desperately, but more and more shadows penetrated, and all of them penetrated in a few times.

His neck and head swelled, his eyes bulged, and he desperately covered his neck with his hands, struggling painfully.

"It's not a weapon!"

A sudden shout came from the shadow inside the body: "Where is the weapon?"

Li Lengchan's body expanded violently, and finally exploded with a "bang", turning into pieces of flesh and blood, flying all over the sky.

The shadow inside was spinning rapidly, wrapped in a mass of soul, constantly extracting memories.

Eventually the soul loses its form and turns into pure energy and disperses into nothingness.

The shadow turned back into a human form and fell on the ground. Its strange eyes flickered as it looked in the direction of Lingxi Island. With a cold snort, it stopped talking and stood motionless.

After a few hours, a light suddenly appeared on the shadow's body, and the hem of his clothes began to flutter again, becoming real little by little.

A man wearing a strange black robe appeared on the ground. He wore a shiny earring on his left ear, which looked like a silver crescent and a hexagon overlapped to form a lunar totem.

That black robe depicts a suffocating sense of depression.

A strange big tree is depicted with dark red lines, with countless dead ghosts entwined on it. The face is full of pain and despair. The branches and leaves are like iron, nailing the souls tightly to the tree. They are dripping with blood and their facial features are distorted. The ground was covered with dead bones, as if filled with never-ending wailing and despair.

The man's face was covered by the brim of his black robe, revealing only a pair of strange green eyes, which were deep and cold.

His figure suddenly became blurred and disappeared.

The space nail not far away also disappeared, leaving only a hollow in the rock.

……

Island in the sky.

Zhao Wuchen came out of the main hall with a worried look on his face, turned into a stream of light, and returned to his side hall.

Emperor Gangdao summoned them and told them about Li Mingde's injury and some information about Xie Huan, and asked him to rush to Suzaku Sea immediately to investigate Xie Huan's whereabouts.

He was about to summon some fellow Taoists and subordinates to go together, when suddenly a voice came from outside the hall asking for an audience: "Yang San, the head of the Benming Department, has something to meet with Senior Zhao Wuchen."

Zhao Wuchen's expression changed slightly and he said, "Come in."

The natal department is the place responsible for taking care of the natal cards of Sky Island disciples.

Yang San is the person that all the monks on Sky Island least want to see.

"Senior, just now, a life tablet was broken in the natal department. I checked it and found that it was placed under senior's life tablet."

Yang San was a middle-aged man with stubble on his face, wearing a simple Taoist robe. He respectfully handed over a life tablet, which had been split in half.

Zhao Wuchen's face was ugly. When he saw the name on the fate card clearly, he was stunned and subconsciously asked: "Where was it broken?"

"Judging from the display on the jade plaque, it should be near the Vermillion Bird Sea, Lingxiao Island or Lingxi Island."

Yang San replied.

"understood."

Zhao Wuchen waved his hand.

Yang San respectfully stepped down.

Zhao Wuchen's eyes fell on the broken jade plaque, which had three words written on it: Li Lengchan. His eyes were a little misty, and an angular face and a period of the past flashed in his mind:

Li Lengchan was one of his disciples back then. He was extremely talented in swordsmanship and was highly valued by him. He was expected to become the core disciple on the island.

But during a secret realm experience, in order to compete for a spiritual grass, he was plotted by a core disciple and almost died in it. So Li Lengchan became furious and found an opportunity to kill the core disciple.

After returning, the sect of that core disciple came forward and wanted to punish Li Lengchan severely and convict him of killing a fellow sect member. A large number of fellow disciples testified that the core disciple was innocent.

Under pressure, Zhao Wuchen expelled Li Lengchan from the sect, which was actually a way of protecting him.

Li Lengchan knew his master's painstaking efforts. He knelt outside the door for a day and a night. After kowtowing three times, he left resolutely and was never heard from again.

Zhao Wuchen's eyes swept over the natal jade tablet, he grabbed it and put it in his hand. He stroked it gently, put it into his storage bag, and said loudly: "All disciples, listen to the order and prepare to go to the Vermillion Bird Sea."

……

After Xie Huan said goodbye to Li Lengchan, he quickly flew to Lingxi Island.

His escape light at this moment was completely shrouded in silver thunder and lightning.Thunder of different colors will have certain attribute preferences. For example, blue thunder has the aura of circulation, purple thunder has the energy to destroy evil and maintain integrity, and silver thunder has the attributes of erratic, lightness, and agility, so the silver thunder supports The speed of escaping light is the fastest.

Xie Huan has already formed a pill at this moment, and the transformation of thunder attribute can be maintained for a long time.

After he flew for a while, the lingering feeling of heart palpitations gradually weakened, like a haze blocking his heart that was slowly dissipating.

It seemed that there was really a big danger in that place just now. I wonder what happened to Li Lengchan and whether he left as he said.

But what is the danger?

Could it be that it could cause me such intense discomfort...

Xie Huan thought of the group of black-robed men related to Pei Hua, and his heart trembled, guessing that it was probably them.

I couldn't help but feel nervous, speeding up my escape technique to Lingxi Island.

But after a moment, it stopped again, sacrificed the fish with sea scales, and flew down.

A piece of water surged up from the fish, wrapping it around him, then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, and then changed direction, preparing to take a longer path back to Lingxi Island.

The man in black robe is so powerful that even Nascent Soul can be easily obliterated. If he really wants to chase him, he might have some powerful tracking skills, so it's better to be careful.

After taking a long detour, it took about two months to walk for a full four months before entering the waters of Lingxi Island.

He did not land on the island directly, but came to the giant boat in the Shadow Market.

"I want to buy some information."

Xie Huan looked at Lan Lu in front of him and explained his intention.

"what's the message?"

Lan Lu asked calmly.

Her interest in Xie Huan gradually waned. After several marketing campaigns, she could not pull out half of his hair. She had already included him in the list of low-value customers in her heart, so her attitude was not enthusiastic.

"There is a group of people wearing black robes. Their strength is incredible. They are at least Nascent Soul and above. The robes depict the scene of eighteen mud plows. I want to know the origins of this group of people."

Xie Huan said calmly.

Lan Lu's face changed slightly, two rays of light shot out from her eyes, she looked at Xie Huan again, and then she said in surprise: "Have you formed a pill?"

Xie Huan nodded: "It's a fluke."

"Once you have formed a core, you can apply for membership directly without paying annual membership fees. However, if you want to upgrade your membership, you still have to pay, but it is much cheaper."

Lan Lu said with a smile.

"The information I want to buy..."

"Wait a minute, let me check. I seem to have some impression of what you said."

Lan Lu turned around and walked into the cabin.

After a while, she came out, and the expression on her face became solemn, even a little weird.

"How not?"

Xie Huan asked speculatively.

"not have."

Lan Lu stared at him and said seriously: "It's just that the information level is extremely high, and I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the remuneration."

"how much is it?"

Xie Huan was mentally prepared to be stabbed, but he didn't expect the price to make him dumbfounded on the spot.

"One billion middle-grade spiritual stones."

Lan Lu said every word, and then added: "This is just the starting price."

Xie Huan: "..."

Lan Lu shook his head and said: "Young man, it is a good thing to be curious. There are too many strange and unknown things in this sea that we need to explore, but at the same time we must also look at our own strength and wealth. Level, if you explore in the wrong direction, it will be a small matter to lose your fortune, but your life may very well be lost.

"The information on each of the people you want to investigate is more than one billion mid-grade spiritual stones, and each of them has more than one information. One billion mid-grade spiritual stones are not even enough to pay for the ticket. Is there anyone who investigates these people? Wouldn’t it be nice to have some leisure time and money, eat well, drink well, pick up girls, and have fun everywhere?”

"I was abrupt."

Xie Huan's head was full of black lines, and then he asked: "Do you have any atlas of strange sea islands in your market? I would like to buy one. The more detailed the better."

"The sea is vast and boundless. In addition to the territories occupied by the human race, there are also hundreds of tribes lurking. The detailed information is very vast. I need to sort it out, and the price is not cheap."

"If it's not cheap, how much is it?"

Xie Huan was frightened by the previous price and quickly asked for details.

"It must be a million middle-grade spiritual stones."

"Uh, it's okay, okay."

Xie Huan touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Haha."

Seeing his naive look, Lan Lu couldn't help but laugh: "Wait a minute, I'll have someone sort it out."

This price is already very expensive for a nautical map.

After a while, Xie Huan handed over a pile of jade slips, said goodbye to Lan Lu, and turned into a stream of light and left.

Lan Lu looked at his disappearing back and murmured to herself: "This kid actually wants to investigate Dao Yin Wuchang. What's going on? At his level, he should be completely out of reach."

After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said: "Whatever, this guy's strength is a bit weird. He might have a very good background. I'm only responsible for making money, nothing else has to do with me."
