The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 557 Speculation
Speaking of which, after Zhao Chen accepted the assessment task from the Daoist government office, he used his connections to conduct some investigations in Fenglin Village. Even Lin Feng and Chu Yunmo were sent there as scouts after he "hinted" through Xingcha.

He had originally planned to travel all the way to Suzhou and then go to Fenglin Village to investigate... but who would have thought that such a big change would happen now.

This is a real world! It's not that "events" will happen wherever I go...

After sighing a few words in his heart, Zhao Chen, who had already entered the "Great Sun Star Chariot", turned his attention to the page about Lin Feng in the "Jade Book".

Because his relevant "introduction" has changed!

It was precisely because of this change that Zhao Chen took the initiative to check the memories of Lin Feng and Chu Yunmo and learned what happened in Fenglin Village.

"Inside Lin Feng's soul... is there a remnant of the so-called 'Five-Power God' hidden?

"No wonder the 'Golden Box Five Keys' was so close to him and favored him... and even opened some of its functions to him.

"However, the remaining soul of the 'Five-way God' may not have good intentions towards him... After all, Lin Feng is not like me who can pay with 'star coins'. When he uses the functions of the 'Golden Box Five-way Key', even if he sacrifices many 'spiritual objects' on the surface, it is likely that he will still consume his own 'life'.

"Once his 'fate' is reduced to a certain limit, he will most likely be contaminated by the remnant soul without a sound, and then completely replaced.

“He is able to maintain his identity after obtaining some of the memories of the Five Gods. Perhaps he should thank the fact that he has become my ‘property’.

"Why didn't 'Xing Cha' detect the remaining soul at the beginning?
"The so-called 'Five-Power God' is already so powerful that it can conceal the 'Great Sun Star Chariot'?

"No... the more likely possibility is that the 'Five-way God' itself is inextricably linked to the 'Great Sun Star Chariot' and even possesses certain authority, so the 'Jade Book' did not list all the information until it was actively exposed and gradually improved."

After staring at the "Product Introduction" on the "Jade Book" for a long time, Zhao Chen sighed and said, "It seems that the 'Star Chariot' is not omnipotent...

"If you encounter the original owner of this 'Star Raft Accessory', or other powerful people who have had contact with the 'Star Raft', the information it provides may not be credible."

After closing the Jade Book, Zhao Chen leaned back on the Six-Dragon Chair and tapped the armrest unconsciously with his fingers, thinking to himself:
“The displacement of the Heart Realm ruins corresponding to Fenglin Village must be related to the changes in Xuancheng.

"This is not just a coincidence in time, but also the result of what I just observed at the station -

"The power that envelopes Xuancheng originates from the 'Heart Realm'!
“And the so-called ‘wedding’ of the Mu family tonight might be some kind of ceremony… I just don’t know what the mastermind behind it wants to do.

"The treasure of the Chai family, the place where the evil spirit needed for the great supernatural power of Emperor Zhao Song, the clues to the complete supernatural power of the All-Seeing God Society, the island of the heart realm that is inextricably linked to the Five-Directional God... plus the source of power used by the mysterious person to arrange the ceremony...

"Taking all these together, the ruins may be more troublesome than I thought! Unfortunately, even in Lin Fengxin's newly acquired memories, there is not much information about the ruins...

"No wonder the people from the 'All Stars Society' would send people here at this critical moment... No, maybe it's not just the 'All Stars Society'." Since it involves the Heart Realm, the 'Xinguan Temple' may not necessarily send people here... There may even be other forces that covet the ruins and will take action... For example, the real person from the 'Mu Clan' in Jinzhou that I met before.

“It seems that even if Qingyan finds someone to report the Xuancheng incident, the Daxia authorities may not be able to respond quickly. They may be suppressed by some force behind the scenes.

"The only good news is that with so many forces entangled, the mastermind behind the scenes may not be able to completely control the situation, so it will be much easier to fish in troubled waters... and in terms of combat power alone, I will also be at the quasi-'Dongxuan' level in a short period of time, but others don't know this!
"Also, according to what Ouyang Sheng said, the so-called 'candidates' will only die of their own fate before 'ascending to Xuan'... Although I am not a real 'candidate', someone, or several people who want to disguise me as a 'candidate', I think they don't want me to die easily.

"So, as long as I don't go to a place where I know there is great danger and try to die, my general actions can still be relatively 'bold', right?"

Although Zhao Chen really doesn't like the feeling of being "manipulated", since he can't resist, he has no choice but to "adapt" to it. This way he can gain the greatest benefit for himself and get rid of this state of being at the mercy of others as soon as possible.

"Insufficient intelligence. Although the specific purpose of the person setting up the scheme in Xuancheng is unclear, we can guess a few general directions:
"First, assuming that the person who entered the ruins from the Fenglin Village entrance before was this person, and its main target is inside the ruins, then since it continues to cause trouble, it obviously failed to achieve its goal... Based on this inference, the ceremony in Xuancheng is probably to break the restrictions in the ruins, or to further obtain the authority of the ruins.

“According to this idea, Xuancheng…maybe a sacrifice!

"Secondly, if that person's main target is Xuancheng, then it diverted the ruins in the Heart Realm. It was either part of some kind of 'ritual' or just a 'bait'...

“A bait to attract many forces!
"Including me, talents from many forces are necessary for the 'ritual'.

"Third, he actually has no purpose. He simply wants people from many forces to gather here to create chaos and killing...

"This is either its interest, or it is collecting extreme desires and emotions similar to Ma Guangliang's 'Seven Deadly Sins'.

"These three are just general directions. The specific purpose of that person may be even more unexpected... But no matter which possibility it is, the people of Xuancheng will probably face a disaster...

"At the very least, you will get a serious illness, at the worst, your soul will be destroyed!"

After sighing, Zhao Chen continued to think: "What we can be sure of now is that the person behind the scenes is good at using the 'charm' type of magical power, and with the addition of the power of the 'heart realm', even an ordinary 'Dongxuan' real person would find it difficult to completely break the 'charm' effect.

"After all, 'charm' is only an inducement, the root cause is that people's own 'desires' have been magnified.

“If we want to completely solve the problem, we must first move the ‘Heart Realm Ruins’ away from the corresponding location in Xuancheng.

"Of course, if there is a real person who is good at 'mind', it can also be done... For example, the 'Taixu Heart Sword' of the aristocratic Meng family should be able to do it.

"By the way, one of the protagonists of tonight's 'wedding' is a fairy from the Meng family... Should I ask Qingyan to send a message to the Meng family?"
