The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 599 True People

After listening to Meng Sicheng's account of the series of events that took place in the ruins, all the True Immortals were deeply shocked. They did not expect that this incident in Xuancheng would attract the attention of so many "Tao Lords" and "True Lords"-level beings.

Is the body of “True Lord Moyun” actually so attractive?

As for the fact that the descendants of "Mo Yun" who came in between saw through the plan of Lu Chunyang and Bodhisattva Liandu, counter-attacked them and extorted money from them, the real people did not take it too seriously.

At most, one can sigh that this young man is brave, decisive, and likes to take risks. A person who does not even have supernatural powers and only relies on external objects to obtain the blessing of a false "Dongxuan" talisman will not be seen by real people at all.

That kind of method would certainly not be able to last long, and as a descendant of the True Lord "Mo Yun", it was reasonable for the young man to have some adventure in this relic.

As for the technique he extorted? It was just the part below the "Dongxuan". Instead of caring about this, the real people wanted to find out what kind of opportunity Mu Zanglu got.

Judging from Meng Sicheng's description, Mu Zanglu might have already stepped half way into the "Shengxuan" realm.

Only Sima Jing, Li Yunzhi and Zheng Guang felt slightly moved after hearing what the so-called descendants of Demon Cloud had done.

Because they had guessed that this so-called descendant of the True Lord "Mo Yun" was the man who had scared away many True Lords with his terrifying magical powers by the Xuancheng River.

Li Yunzhi and Zheng Guang even guessed that this person was most likely Zhao Chen.

After all, he is the only young man who is close to "Sakura Dragon Fairy" so far.

Sima Jing, the "Seven Stars Fairy", did not have any thoughts of revenge. After all, the person who actually stole the magic weapon was Zheng Qingyan from the Zheng family, and she could not bring herself to take revenge on an unrelated junior.

What's more, just because the magic weapon falls into the hands of the Zheng family doesn't mean it's impossible to comprehend its inner rhythm.

The Zheng family started out as "sea merchants". Since they are businessmen, they should be able to gain opportunities for enlightenment by paying some price.

It’s just not as convenient as getting it yourself…

"Sea Queen" Li Yunzhi pays attention to Zhao Chen because she owes him a favor, but this karma is extremely difficult to repay, and she even suffered backlash for trying to figure this out.

So Li Yunzhi had been collecting all kinds of information about Zhao Chen, and that's why she recognized him at the first opportunity.

Zheng Guang, the "Grand Minister of the Jin Mansion", was no stranger to Zhao Chen, whether he was the "Dongxuan", a branch of the Zheng family, or a Taoist official in the Taoist Office. It was normal for him to devote some of his attention to him at this moment.

Of course, this is also because Zhao Chen did not deliberately cover it up. After all, it cannot be hidden at all.

His carriage drove into Xuancheng in a swagger, and the Mu family openly invited him. These things could not be concealed at all, and there was no way to get rid of suspicion, so Zhao Chen simply did the simplest cover-up and didn't let the news know.

Anyway, he helped Zheng Qingyan to obtain the magic weapon this time. Because of this favor, the Zheng family will definitely protect him and will not let anyone take him away for interrogation.

Back to the topic, after the immortals in the courtyard were silent for a while, Ming Yuzhang, the Six Gates' Divine Constable, was the first to break the silence:
"Master Mu Zanglu's soul suddenly transformed and he now possesses the rudiments of a spirit, right?"

There are nine divine detectives in the Six Gates, all of whom are immortals of the second level of "Dongxuan", and they are divided into guarding the Central Plains of Daxia and the eight directions.

As a member of the royal family, Ming Yuzhang is ranked among the top three in terms of strength among the nine divine detectives. He has already cultivated the "Dharma Domain", but he has no idea how to condense his primordial spirit, which is another condition for achieving "Ascendence".

Now that he sees Mu Zanglu, a junior who needed treasures to use his "Dharma Domain", suddenly has the rudiments of a soul, he is naturally extremely envious.

"Cut away the falsehood and reveal the true self... Although it seems to be a tricky secret method, from the description, it really looks like the original spirit...

"I just haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't judge its authenticity." Meng Zi Che said, stroking his beard.

He has a lot to say in this regard because he has witnessed his thirteenth brother achieve the state of the primordial spirit with his own eyes.

"Also, I heard from the senior mentioned by the Meng family kid that Mu Zanglu should have obtained an incomplete second-grade talisman from the 'Heart Realm'... This should be true, otherwise he would never have been able to escape from the hands of the 'big villain' in the 'Heart Realm'." Zheng Guang, the "Grand Minister of the Jin Mansion", was also jealous of Mu Zanglu's opportunity, but the thing of "faith" was too dangerous, and he would never dare to try it before he got the relevant secret method.

"A second-rank position... even if it's incomplete..." All the real people were eager for it, and secretly decided to visit Mu Zanglu as soon as he showed up. After digesting this news, Li Yunzhi asked about another person in Meng Sicheng's words: "Empress Pingxin in the underworld? Who is that person?"

However, Sima Jing and the others remained silent on this question. They either didn't know either, or they were from "Heaven" and it was inconvenient for them to explain.

Only Zheng Guang hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "This seems to be a member code name of an organization that has only appeared recently.

"This organization calls itself the 'Heavenly Court' and has many real people and even real monarchs within it.

“Although the provincial government has begun investigating, there hasn’t been much valuable intelligence so far.

"As far as we know, only the temple priest of the Dragon King Temple is the organization's Three Officials, and the Empress Hou Tu Ping Xin who appeared today must also be a top-notch Sheng Xuan Zhenjun."

Hearing this, Sima Jing nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Then, the man wearing the 'Xuanwu' mask who just fought with me must be the 'Xuanwu Zhiming God' of the 'Heavenly Court'?"

"That's right... This person once appeared at the Sword Contest in Jiange. That's why I guessed that 'Empress Pingxin' was from the 'Heavenly Court'." Zheng Guang nodded, and added, "The 'senior' who occupied the body of the young master of the Meng family and forced the palaces of the 'Heart Realm' and 'Underworld' to overlap with each other through the great way of cause and effect must also be from the 'Heavenly Court'.

"The Bodhisattva of Compassion called him Lü Chunyang, and he was summoned by Mu Zirong's inscription on the 'Lü Gong Tablet'... maybe his code name is 'Fuyou Emperor' or 'Miaodao Tianzun'?
"This is also supported by the fact that he was able to transfer the cause and effect of summoning himself to the Blue Lion...

"That blue lion must be the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. It is said that in ancient times, both Lü Zu and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva had opened temples in Mount Emei. Perhaps there is some connection between them."

After hearing this, the divine detective Ming Yuzhang sneered and said, "Using the name of Lü Zu as a code name? Isn't this 'Lü Chunyang' worried that the people of Danding Xianzong will cause trouble?"

"Danding Xianzong" is a holy place for spiritual practice, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. The ancestor they worship is Lu Zu. It is rumored that even Taihe Daojun had heard Lu Zu's preaching.

Of course, the current Taihe Taoist has already far surpassed Lu Zu in cultivation.

Only the Ming family dared to make a joke about the "Dan Ding Immortal Sect". Even if there were no descendants of the Immortal Sect here, the other real people did not comment on it. Li Yunzhi even changed the subject directly:
"We can only speculate now. We'll have to wait until we enter the ruins in three days to find clues before we know for sure...

"Well, speaking of which, the palace attracted the power of 'True Lord' and even 'Tao Lord', so the pollution must be huge. Fortunately, True Lord Yuantong took care of it, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get contaminated easily."

At this point, she exchanged glances with Sima Jing before continuing, "Since the portal to the ruins is in Xuancheng, it belongs to the territory of our northwestern states, so it should belong to us northwestern cultivators.

"Of course, we will not stop monks from other states and counties from exploring opportunities, but we have to discuss a rule on how to obtain the qualifications to enter."

Next, all the Immortals began to bargain on this issue, and even the other Immortals of the first realm of "Dongxuan" who had not spoken before joined in.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the severely injured "Blue and White Immortal Couple" supported each other and approached Meng Sicheng. Among them, Yuan Zhen Sanren asked hopefully: "Mr. Meng... I wonder if you have found the secret method of 'resurrection'?"

Regarding the secret method of "resurrection", Meng Sicheng, who was occupied by karma at the time, had also heard Lu Chunyang's comments. In addition, he couldn't bear to see the couple's desperate look, so after hesitating for a while, he nodded and said:
"The secret method of resurrection does exist... but I heard from that senior that the location where the ceremony is held is very dangerous. Even Chai Xun himself died there."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Qingbai Immortal Couple suddenly sparkled. They asked anxiously, "Sir, do you know where that place is?"

Meng Sicheng shook his head and said sincerely: "I don't know...but this secret method may be related to the thieves of the past. You can investigate from this aspect."

Although the couple was a little disappointed, now that they had a goal, they also had a direction to strive for, so they thanked him and said, "Thank you for telling me, young master."

The real people who were distracted and eavesdropped on their conversation had different reactions.

Some showed disdain, some showed pity, some were indifferent, and some looked thoughtful.

……

In an inn in a small town hundreds of miles away, Zhao Chen, who had worked hard for most of the night, finally woke up from his peaceful life.
