Clear clothes and immortals

Chapter 177 A Conspiracy

"What are you talking about, my lord? How dare I have such thoughts? I'm just curious about people who can teach such a character as your lord."

After hearing Shuxuan's words, the man was afraid that she would misunderstand what he thought of her because of this, so he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Shut up your curiosity. Don't ask if you shouldn't know. It's not good for you to know more. You should continue to tell me about the outside things!"

Shu Xuan looked at the man coldly and said, there was no expression on his face, the man was a little scared seeing Shu Xuan's appearance, so he nodded repeatedly.

"Senior, just now I said that the lords of the three cities here are all at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but there is no peace between these three cities, and each of them is secretly trying to swallow the other."

"It's just that the three city lords have taken root here for a long time, and each of them has attracted many high-level monks. The three parties are not sure that they can annex other cities. I am accumulating strength in the dark, I hope that one day I can annihilate the other party in one fell swoop."

"Then which city lord do you belong to? What's his purpose in sending you to this village?"

After listening to the man's words, Shuxuan asked a question that shocked the man.

"You... what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand?"

The man's eyes widened in shock from Shuxuan's question, he looked at Shuxuan and stammered.He thought about what he said after meeting Shuxuan, and found that there was nothing special?How did you get suspected?
"You don't have to pretend. Although you didn't say anything after you appeared, you don't think about it. You, a cultivator in the foundation stage, don't practice well. Instead, you go to such an ordinary small mountain village and kill livestock every day to frighten people. , and then murdered and skinned people, are these things normal? Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Shu Xuan looked at the man kneeling on the ground with a mocking face and said.

"Senior, I did these things, but no one arranged for me to do them. I will do this and that because I have enmity with these people in this village. My parents were killed by them back then. I At that time, I was only five years old and was forced to leave here, but later I had the opportunity to embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and now I have finally achieved success in cultivation, since I want to come back to seek revenge from those people."

After listening to Shuxuan's words, the man lowered his head and said, with a hint of resentment in his tone, as if he really had some serious enmity with the people in this village.

"Oh! Do you really think I'm a fool? You said you came back for revenge? But do you know what the elixir you took out just now? This kind of thing is not something you can get as a young monk in the foundation period .”

Shuxuan sneered when he heard the man's sophistry, and exposed him.

"Pillions? That was when I accidentally entered a magical place, and that's where I got these elixirs."

The man didn't panic when he heard Shuxuan's questioning, but quickly gave a reason.

"You really don't cry when you see the coffin! Do you think this is just an ordinary medicine? You really don't know its efficacy and special features!"

Shu Xuan looked at the man kneeling on the ground who was lying and lying vigorously, and said with a sneer.

"Senior, isn't this a pill that can control people? It shouldn't be surprising, right?"

The man was confused by Shuxuan's words, looked at Shuxuan uncertainly and asked.

"Not surprising? Then do you know what your elixir is called? Do you know that if you want to practice this elixir completely, you must have the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul stage? You said that the highest in this space A person with a cultivation level is the Nascent Soul stage, but the elixir can only control those who have cultivated at the Foundation Establishment stage at most. Do you think any monks at the Nascent Soul stage will refine this kind of thing that is useless to them? What about the elixir? Besides, your elixir is basically a semi-finished product, and the elixir formula obtained by alchemists is probably incomplete."

Shu Xuan exposed the loopholes in the man's words without hesitation.

"Senior, didn't you say that this elixir is incomplete? Maybe the person who refined this elixir has not reached this level of cultivation, so the elixir has flaws!"

When the man heard Shuxuan's words, he immediately caught the loophole in her words, he looked at Shuxuan and argued.

"Oh! The reaction is quite fast! It's just a pity that the reason why I told you that this elixir is incomplete is to test whether you are honest, but I didn't expect that you would really think about how to lie to me at any time. Well, I kept an eye on it, otherwise I would just jump and cheat like this."

Shuxuan slapped the man angrily, and after sending him flying, she said, if she didn't think that this is a completely unfamiliar space, and she still needs to inquire about the news with the aborigines here, Shuxuan would not be bothered to talk to him. So much nonsense here!

"Are you lying to me? Is this pill not damaged?"

The man didn't seem to think that Shuxuan would cheat him, and said in surprise.

"I'm not lying to you. This elixir is indeed flawed, but it doesn't mean that the difficulty of refining it can be reduced. This flaw will only affect its efficacy. And it is precisely because of this It is incomplete, so it must be taken within one month after the refining is completed, otherwise it will lose its medicinal effect, and I have seen the medicine you gave me just now, and its medicinal effect is still there!"

Shu Xuan looked at the man kneeling there in disbelief and said.

"This...how did this happen?"

The man was dumbfounded after hearing this explanation, and sat down on the ground indignantly and said to Shuxuan, "It seems that you already knew that I came for another purpose, so why did you tell me so much just now?"

After being exposed by Shuxuan, the man no longer concealed it. He felt that Shuxuan would definitely not be able to block him, and he also rushed a lot when talking to Shuxuan, and he felt a bit self-defeating.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask. Now can you tell me who is behind you? And what is the purpose of sending you here?"

Seeing the man like this, Shuxuan asked what she wanted to know.

"I won't say that."

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head repeatedly when he heard Shuxuan's words.

"Didn't realize that you have such backbone? You would rather die than betray your master."

Seeing the man's reaction, Shuxuan said strangely, judging from his previous behavior, he didn't look like such a man of integrity.

"Senior, it was my fault for offending you before. Your lord has a lot, please forgive me this time! If my master knows that I revealed his news, he will never let me go. Senior, you She looks so good-looking and must have a kind heart, so please don't argue with me any more!"

But the man was not as strong as Shuxuan imagined, he quickly knelt down in front of Shuxuan and begged for mercy.

"Stop! Don't you think I won't ask if you're like this? How is this possible? I was attacked so inexplicably by you because of this matter. Don't you think I will just give up if I don't find out what's going on? ? As for your master will not let you go after you say it, but do you think I will let you go if you don't say it?"

As Shuxuan said, she also released coercion on the man. Shuxuan also felt very depressed when she encountered today's incident. You said that she just wanted to ask for directions, but who knew that she would encounter such a bad thing. If she left like this, others would still think of her as a timid person. Even if Shuxuan didn't cause trouble because of this in the future, she still had to figure it out first.

"Forget it! Anyway, I'm going to die anyway, so I'll tell you directly! Maybe he won't even know that I leaked the news, so that I can escape!"

The man was lying on the ground under the coercion released by Shuxuan, unable to move. As the coercion gradually increased, Shuxuan could even hear the sound of the man's bones, and beads of sweat kept dripping Roll off his face.

In the end, the man also succumbed to this coercion, as if he had made up his mind so much, he looked at Shu Xuan as if I was going all out and said.

"Go ahead!"

Shuxuan withdrew her coercion and looked at the man leisurely, waiting for his next words.

"I said before that there are three cities here, and the person behind me is the lord of one of the cities 'Black City'. I am just an ordinary person. It was impossible for me to get in touch with these cities in my capacity. When I was there, I happened to meet my master, and my master was the head of the guards of the city lord's mansion, so I was lucky to join the city lord's mansion, but in fact I was just an errand person, and I knew nothing about these things. There are not many people, I only know that this is something arranged by the big shots in the city lord's mansion, and a lot of people have been arranged in other places. As for the elixir I gave you just now, it was also given to you by my master when I came out. Mine, it is said that everyone who comes out this time will have this pill, as for more, I don’t know.”

"That's all? Then you just had an expression that you would rather die than tell?"

Although the man said so much to Shuxuan, he didn't have any useful information at all. After hearing this, Shuxuan frowned suspiciously and asked.

"But before these things came out, my master told me many times not to tell anyone, otherwise if something happened, no one would be able to protect me. Now I will tell you all these things, I can't go back to the Black City, and I have to hide my whereabouts in the future, so as not to be caught by the people of the Black City."

After finishing speaking, the man sat on the ground in frustration, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, what are you doing with this look? Hearing you say that, the Lord of your Black City is not a good person, so it's fine if you leave."

Shuxuan thought about the message the man gave, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out what the purpose of doing this was.

Shuxuan couldn't figure it out, so she just didn't want to think about it, but who knew that she saw the man like that, so she kicked him and said.

"To put it simply, I thought of betraying me, Heicheng, by doing this. You don't know how much punishment Heicheng imposes on betrayers. But today I met a senior, and I was lucky to get my life back. Let's talk about it when they find out!"

Seeing that the matter had developed to such a point, the man no longer struggled with it, but cheered himself up and comforted himself.

"Then tell me about the situation outside! This is the first time I've been to these cities, so it's better to understand some of the situation first."

Seeing the man recovering from his decadent state, Shuxuan asked him about the outside world again.

After all, according to the news I have now, this should belong to a small independent space. If you want to find a way out, you have to go outside to inquire, and the most likely to know the news is the so-called city lord of the three cities up.

"When I left here, although I was wandering outside all the time, I was only thinking of ways to keep myself alive, and I didn't know much about the outside world. I didn't settle down until I was taken in by my master. It’s just that at that time, in order to come back to avenge me, I kept focusing on my cultivation. Besides knowing that the city lords of each city were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, there was also the city lord of Heicheng who suddenly announced that he was going to retreat before I came out. , now the steward of the City Lord's Mansion is in charge, and they have recruited a large number of experts, and they don't know much about other situations."

Hearing Shuxuan's words, the man originally wanted to say something useful in exchange for Shuxuan's favor, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that his news was too lacking, so he could only say it in frustration.

"You really are..."

Shuxuan was also speechless looking at the man, she really didn't know how he developed such a weird temperament.

"Oh! By the way, I heard before I came here that the City Lord's Mansion has recently been recruiting a large number of talents. As long as seniors are so powerful, they will definitely be discovered and drawn by them as soon as they go out. Whether seniors are willing or not, It’s better to be mentally prepared.”

Hearing Shuxuan's words, the man felt that he was being despised, and a feeling of reluctance to admit defeat suddenly arose in his heart. He racked his brains to think if there was any news he had missed, but he didn't expect that his thought would really make him feel ashamed. He thought of it.He regained his energy in an instant, and excitedly said to Shuxuan.

"Your news is still useful. Although there are masters in several cities, I believe that those masters will not wander around in the downtown area without incident, right? The concealment technique that my master gave me is not something that ordinary people can see through. Yes, I think if it wasn't for someone going outside to talk nonsense, no one would be able to detect my cultivation, right?"

Shuxuan looked at the man and smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone, but the meaning in the words was still obvious.

"Senior, don't worry, I will naturally not tell others about the senior."

The man shuddered from the fear in Shuxuan's eyes, and quickly promised.

"Don't tell others? Then whose person are you? You will tell your own people, right?"

Shu Xuan wouldn't be coaxed by a man, this kind of simple word game, I don't know how many modern novels I've read, how could I be fooled.

"Senior, how could I be that kind of person? I said something wrong just now, and I promise not to tell anyone? Besides, now that this matter has been messed up by me, how dare I go back?"

The man looked at Shu Xuan helplessly and said.
