Chapter 365 Involvement
"How could this happen?!"

Yumu's face darkened, and he didn't care about hiding anything from Wang Yuchen anymore: "Yuchen, follow me as a teacher!"

As he spoke, he turned into a ray of light and flew up, quickly heading towards the ordinary town, leaving behind words at the same time:
"Go and inform Elder Chen. If he no longer retreats, ask him to come too."

"Yes!"

Although Elder Jindan also wanted to follow him immediately to see how his disciple died.

But Yumu had already spoken, and he could only rush to Chen Yuan's cave first.

Although Wang Yuchen didn't know what kind of riddle they were playing, they actually wanted to alarm Chen Yuan, which proved that this matter was unusual.

He turned into a escaping light and followed Yumu. As he gradually approached the ordinary town, he seemed to have guessed something and said with a slight frown:

"Master?"

"...He Lanxin suffered a severe illness last night and died."

Yumu was silent for a moment, knowing that he could no longer hide the matter, so he told him the reason directly.

But when he said this, his consciousness couldn't help but stare closely at Wang Yuchen, for fear that he would get excited.

Fortunately, Wang Yuchen was only slightly surprised, but not very excited.

After the master and apprentice were silent for a moment, Wang Yuchen spoke out:
"Since she died of a sudden illness, why did Master come in such a hurry?"

"The heirs that He Lanxin left for you are also the disciples and grandsons of the master. They are blessed with the best golden spiritual roots. The disciples of the master's sect secretly guard their mother and daughter."

Hearing this, Wang Yuchen had already reacted, his face condensed slightly and he sped up:
"Master, disciple, go first."

Just now Elder Jindan said that his disciple was also dead, which proved that there might be something fishy about He Lanxin's death.

If there is no one to look after him, will the child suffer?

He was unkind to He Lanxin, but he was not ruthless to his own heirs.

With anxiety in his heart, he opened his mouth and spit out the flying sword, and directly used the human sword to merge into one, turning into a bright sword and flying towards the ordinary town.

Yumu looked anxious and hurriedly used his sword to unite.

But his escape speed was not as good as Wang Yuchen's, and he could only watch Wang Yuchen's sword light disappear into the sky.

"If I had known better, I should have talked about it there."

Yu Mu secretly regretted it, and at the same time hoped that Chen Yuan was not in retreat.

On the other side, the Jindan elder rushed outside Chen Yuan's cave and took a look inside the cave, but only saw the halo of the misty formation.

Concerned about the death of his disciple, he ignored his restraint and fear and shouted towards the cave with his hands bowed:

"Elder Chen, this junior is Zhang Wang, the elder of the Iron Sword Sect. You are here unexpectedly because the master wants to invite you to the place where He Lanxin lives."

In the cave, Chen Yuan, who had just gone through the refining techniques in his mind and was about to start refining the low-end version of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, opened his eyes.

"Yumu won't come looking for him in a casual matter, so what trouble did He Lanxin cause again?"

Chen Yuan frowned and muttered to himself, suppressing the thought of refining the weapon for the time being, collecting the materials and moving outside the cave:
"What happened? Why didn't Yumu come?"

"He Lanxin died suddenly of a serious illness last night. The boss has rushed over first." Zhang Wang hurriedly bowed and responded.

"Dead suddenly?"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and saw that his expression was quite anxious, so he led him towards the ordinary town and said at the same time:
"Then He Lanxin will die as soon as he dies. Why did he attract Yumu to come?"

"The junior disciple has been secretly watching over He Lanxin and his daughter, but the junior disciple also died not long ago."

"Oh?"

Chen Yuan squinted his eyes, and after moving again, he caught up with Yu Mu and took him to the ordinary town, appearing in the house where Wang Yuchen and He Lanxin lived before.

Yumu felt his eyes flash, and the person had already arrived in the house, and Chen Yuan was standing beside him, saying hurriedly: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

"polite."

Chen Yuan responded, raised his eyes to look at the horizon, and saw Wang Yuchen rushing towards him with his sword and man merging into one.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Yuan spread out his consciousness to explore the house.

But in the main room of the house, He Lanxin was completely dead, her pale and haggard face was very calm, and it seemed that she had not suffered any pain before her death.

Contrary to her, there was a disciple in front of the door who was wearing Iron Sword Sect costume. His face was ferocious and twisted, and he was holding a long sword in his right hand and piercing his heart.

The sword came out of his body and nailed himself to the door panel.

In the courtyard, the nanny and servants had been killed. Their death condition was similar to that of He Lanxin, with no pain on their faces.

That Zhang Wang also arrived and saw the miserable condition of his disciple, and said with an ugly face: "How could this happen!?"

Yu Mu on the side also had an ugly expression, because his consciousness had searched the entire house, even the town, but could not find any trace of the child.

Sure enough, he came for that child!
Before he could speak, Wang Yuchen's sword light had arrived.

Before he landed, he had already penetrated the house with his spiritual consciousness and saw the situation in the house.

He Lanxin is dead, but the child is missing.

He paused in mid-air of the house, holding a flying sword in his hand and asked angrily:

"Who is it?! Bring the child back!"

The coercion and sharp sword intent of the late Nascent Soul emanated, causing the entire town to feel a bit desolate.

No one responded, and the mortals in the city felt uneasy as they looked at Wang Yuchen standing in the sky.

Yumu felt regretful and helpless, and called out: "Yuchen, come down first."

Wang Yuchen lowered his head and looked at Yumu, then at the ordinary people in the city.

Seeing the frightened expressions on their faces, Wang Yuchen felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. He raised his sword and looked around in confusion.

"Cultivating immortals, what exactly is cultivating?"

"You forget your love and loyalty, you can't even protect your bloodline heirs, and you have been practicing hard for many years, just for yourself?"

He lowered his head and looked at Yumu, as if a disciple was asking his master, but in fact he was asking himself.

Chen Yuan could tell at a glance that he was going crazy, and he used the secret technique in "The Hundred Worlds of Cycles" and shouted in a loud voice:

"wake up!"

The shouts combined with this secret technique were like a wake-up call, which made Wang Yuchen, who was slightly obsessed, startled, and then he heard Chen Yuandao:
"The purpose of cultivating immortality is to be good at yourself. Only when you are strong can you be able to protect the things you want to protect. If you cannot protect your bloodline, it is just because you are not strong enough!"

"Besides, there is nothing we can do now. You should come down first."

Hearing this, a look of hope appeared on Yumu's face, and Wang Yuchen also broke out in a layer of sweat from his back, and flew down to Chen Yuan with a hint of fear:
"Thank you, Elder Chen, for waking up this junior."

After a pause, he said with expectation and prayer: "Elder Chen said there is a way, but I don't know what it is?"

"You are the child's biological father, and you are connected by blood with her. Using your blood for divination, you should be able to find the whereabouts of the child."

With that said, Chen Yuan raised his hand and made a move.

On the small bed in the main room, a rice pillow was filmed flying into his hand.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spit out the turtle's body.

Holding the turtle divination in one hand and the rice pillow in the other, he looked at Wang Yuchen and said:

"Three drops of essence and blood are enough."

Wang Yuchen didn't doubt that he was there, so he immediately pierced his fingertip with his sword and forced out three drops of red blood.

"Old Turtle, could you please do some divination?"

Chen Yuan took these three drops of essence and blood together with the rice pillow into the body of the turtle divination.

The tortoise divination grew slightly larger, and after accepting these two things, the divination lines on the tortoise shell appeared, and the sixty-four images of the Eight Trigrams changed indefinitely.

After a while, the hexagrams stopped, but it was Feng Di who was observing the hexagrams, which made Chen Yuan's expression slightly condensed.

Turtle Divination’s voice also sounded:

"When looking at the hexagram of wind and earth, the upper hexagram Xun is the wind, and the lower hexagram Kun is the earth. The wind is above and the earth is below. The wind travels on the earth and can see all directions."

Hearing this, the three people from the Iron Sword Sect who were not proficient in hexagrams looked at Chen Yuan in confusion.

"I mean it's hard to find." Chen Yuan frowned slightly and looked at Turtle Divination: "Is there any way?"

"Yes." Turtle Bu spat out a rice pillow stained red by essence and blood:
"The first way is for you to take this kid back to the sect to look for Gui Shou. With Gui Shou's divination skills, you will be able to deduce the whereabouts of the child."

"It's just that even with your escape speed, if you rush back to the sect to find Queen Gui Shou, the person who kidnapped the child will probably be far away."

"Is there a faster way?" Chen Yuan said solemnly.

"Using this kid's soul to make a soul-inducing lamp, I can find the whereabouts of his bloodline."

Hearing that Yi Po was involved, Yu Mu's face changed slightly. Just when he was about to ask whether this would be harmful to Wang Yuchen, Wang Yuchen already said:

"I'll do it!" "Okay, as long as the soul in the soul-inducing lamp returns to your body within three seconds, it won't do you any harm."

The turtle divination responded, and then passed on to Chen Yuan the method of refining the soul-inducing lamp.

Chen Yuanjing looked at it for a moment and found that it was not difficult to make this soul-inducing lamp, and the materials required were also common spiritual materials.

Without wasting time, he took out the materials from the storage bag and started refining.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he had a lantern in his hand. He handed the lantern to Wang Yuchen and said:

"Using your essence and blood as a guide, I will help you draw out your seventh soul. Without this soul, you will temporarily lose your sense of smell and consciousness."

"Thank you, Elder Chen."

Wang Yuchen took the lantern, cut his wrist and forced out the blood, which landed on the guide plate in the center of the lantern.

While Chen Yuan recited the mantra, at the same time his spiritual consciousness transformed into crystal and penetrated into Wang Yuchen's body.

Wang Yuchen's three souls and seven souls, which were already somewhat loosened by the influence of the mantra, were separated by the crystal needle of divine consciousness. The seventh soul was immediately separated and fell into the soul-inducing lamp in his hand.

But Wang Yuchen only felt a brief sting in his soul, and then he felt like something was missing.

Before he could feel it any more, the soul-inducing lamp in his hand lit up with a faint blue luster.

There were strands of evil wind emerging before his eyes. It was unknown where these evil winds came from and where they were going.

They fill the whole world, and their tracks are chaotic.

Faced with such a situation, he had no clue, but the soul-inducing lamp in his hand floated toward the northeast.

He subconsciously looked at Chen Yuan: "Over there?"

Chen Yuan's spiritual power circulated, wrapping up the three people from Tiejianmen and moving towards the northeast.

After moving continuously for nearly half an hour, Chen Yuan glanced at the soul-inducing lamp that was still floating to the northeast with a slightly condensed expression:

"Ahead is the boundary of Gangqimen."

After the collapse of the sky in the middle realm, Gangqi Gate, Qingzhu Taoist Temple, and Sanyang Heavenly Palace moved to the northern realm.

Now that the soul-inducing lamp is pointing to the realm of Gangqimen, could it be that the people from Gangqimen took a fancy to this child's top-grade gold spiritual root, so they started killing people?
But the Gangqi Sect is a first-class sect after all. There is a Returning Immortal in the sect, so they would not do such a despicable thing...
Chen Yuan was thinking in his heart, and when he saw Yumu and the other three people looking forward to it, but not daring to look at him urgently, he still took out the Wanli Telecommunication Talisman.

Sensing the auras of several Taoist spirits inside the talisman, after thinking for a moment, he tried to send a spiritual thought to Taoist Mu Cheng:
"Mu Chengdao Zun, are you free?"

Why does it feel like I was chatting on a dating app in my previous life...
Chen Yuan was thinking in his mind, and then heard Taoist Mu Cheng's response:
"It's rare for you to use this talisman. What's the matter?"

"Something happened to the Iron Sword Sect where this junior is in charge. After tracking it all the way, I found that the matter involved the Gangqi Sect's territory, so..."

"Just wait there, I will come over soon."

"Excuse me, Taoist sir."

Chen Yuan responded respectfully, then put away the Ten Thousand Miles Transmission Symbol and waited.

After a few breaths, Mu Cheng appeared in front of everyone. Yu Mu was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Tiejianmen Yumu, I have met Taoist Mu Cheng!"

With him taking the lead, Wang Yuchen and Na Zhangwang quickly followed suit.

Mu Cheng glanced at Wang Yuchen who was holding the soul-inducing lamp, waved his hand to let them get up, and looked at Chen Yuan curiously:
"What happened? Let me tell you in detail."

"Yes!" Chen Yuan responded, telling the story of the future.

After hearing this, Mu Cheng nodded slightly: "In that case, let's go for a walk."

After that, he took a few people and took the initiative to move into the realm of Gangqi Gate.

After just one move, Chen Yuan saw the mountain gate of Gangqi Gate.

However, the soul-inducing lamp in Wang Yuchen's hand was not pointed in the direction of the mountain gate of Gangqi Gate, but towards the ordinary town under the mountain gate of Gangqi Gate.

Having already arrived here, Mu Cheng was not polite.

The coercion of the Return to Void Stage fell on the Return to Void Town, suppressing mortals to the point of being unable to move, and seedlings began to grow in the seven holes in the bodies of those who had cultivated themselves.

This sudden release of pressure caused Dao Zun Gangxing in the Gangqi Sect to suddenly open his eyes.

He ducked and moved in front of Mu Cheng and the others, and said solemnly:
"Fellow Daoist Mu Cheng, what happened to make you so violent?"

Mu Cheng arrived at his mountain gate and started to attack him without informing him, which surprised him.

Mu Cheng came so suddenly. Could it be that he discovered the secret discussion between him and Di Yang?
Mu Cheng glanced at him and said calmly:

"Fellow Daoist Gangxing, there is an evil cultivator who has kidnapped people in your realm. I am following you here to find the blood relatives of your sect."

It turned out to be for this matter.

Dao Zun Gangxing felt slightly relieved, and then looked at the ordinary town with a look of shock and anger: "There are evil cultivators lurking here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint power of movement flashed through the ordinary town.

But in front of the two returning immortals, the power of movement was as obvious as a torch in the dark night.

Mu Cheng sneered and moved away with Chen Yuan and others. Gangxing Taoist Master's pretended anger became a little more annoyed.

Someone was actually causing trouble on his property, right in front of his mountain gate!
Do you really think he is just for show? !

In the wilderness, a man with seven orifices sprouting seedlings and a pale face suddenly appeared.

As soon as he appeared, he saw Mu Cheng and others waiting for him.

At the same time, the flesh and blood on his body quickly turned into wood, and roots sprouted from the soles of his feet and penetrated into the ground. Only his head was still flesh and blood.

In the blink of an eye, he was firmly locked in place by this weird secret technique.

"With your cultivation in the transformation stage, you can still use secret techniques to move under the pressure of me. Are you an overseas demon cultivator?"

Mu Cheng looked at the man with interest, and Dao Zun Gangxing moved over with an ugly expression:

"If fellow Taoist Mu Cheng hadn't come here today, wouldn't this have become a stronghold for you to hide your filth?!"

As he said that, he looked at Mu Cheng:

"Fellow Daoist Mu Cheng, how about you and I searching for souls together?"

"Ha." However, the man sneered, and his head, which was still flesh and blood, suddenly exploded, with red and white pieces flying everywhere.

At the same time, a space crack suddenly appeared behind the man's wooden body.

A ghost claw protruded from it, grabbed the man's spirit, and immediately retracted into the space crack.

"How brave! You rob someone in front of me, do you think I'm dead?!"

Mu Cheng's face darkened as a large number of roots and vines emerged from the ground or even from the air, forcefully piercing into the narrow cracks in space and wrapping around the ghost's claws.

Gangxing Taoist Master also had quick eyes and quick hands. He moved his hands to the left and right: "Open!"

Big hands condensed with Gang Qi appeared out of thin air on both sides of the space crack, pulling it apart, allowing more roots and vines to get into it, wrapping around the ghost claws and dragging it out.

However, as the space crack was stretched wider and wider, Chen Yuan and others also saw the body of the ghost claw behind the crack.

Densely packed ghost claws are located on both sides of the body, and faces of crying, laughing, sad or ferocious faces are crowded on the ghost body.

"Thousands of arms and thousands of faces!"

Mu Cheng's face was solemn, and when he was about to use the primitive wood world, the ghost with thousands of arms and faces had crushed the man's soul and took the initiative to cut off the ghost claws entangled by the vine roots.

Without the pull of roots and vines, this ghost with thousands of arms and faces disappeared behind the crack.

Unable to leave the ghost behind, Mu Cheng and Gang Xing were silent for a long time.

At this time, Gu Bu secretly sent a message to Chen Yuan, asking him to return Wang Yuchen's seventh soul to his body first. If he drags it any longer, it will damage his roots.

Seeing that Chen Yuan couldn't get involved in the matter here, he raised his hands to Taoist Mu Cheng and said:
"Tao Zun, this junior will first let him take the seventh soul back into his body."

Mu Cheng glanced at Wang Yuchen, and with a wave of his hand, the seventh soul in the soul-inducing lamp returned to Wang Yuchen's body, and even gave him the pure Yimu energy.

"Thank you, Taoist Master." Wang Yuchen saluted hurriedly.

Mu Cheng nodded and tapped the wooden corpse left by the man in the air.

A hole opened in the wooden corpse, and a Sumeru bead flew out. The inside was not broken, revealing an entrance.

"Go in and see if there is the person you are looking for."

Wang Yuchen's face showed joy, and after thanking him again, he flew into the Sumeru Bead.

Dao Zun Gangxing waited for Mu Cheng to deal with these matters before he spoke:

"There are such a level of heavenly ghosts in the earthly immortal world. Fellow Daoist Mu Cheng thinks this matter is related to the two top ghost sects in the southern realm?"

"Xuanyin Sect and Lingguiyuan? The members of these two sects are all ghosts and have never absorbed a living person. Such kidnapping does not seem like their doing."
