21: Keep a low profile

"This commoner does not know!"

"You do not know?"

"I only wanted to find some Spiritual Plants in the forest to sell for some qi gathering pills. I didn't expect the sky to collapse and the earth to split; I just fainted. When I woke up, I saw this fairy lying on the ground."

Wu Jun's gaze was like a torch as he sized Chen Xian up from head to toe.

Ultimately, he couldn't find any flaws.

He flicked a finger.

A storage ring appeared in front of Chen Xian.

"Take this, it's enough for you to buy pills. Never speak a word of this matter, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing this, Chen Xian nodded repeatedly.

"Go!"

Only then did Chen Xian hurriedly lead Da Huang away from this place of trouble.

However, he had just walked out of there.

The System's voice echoed in his mind.

【Ding! Today's intelligence has been reorganized!】

【Intelligence 1: Wu Jun has long been infatuated with Liu Ruyan and delusional enough to want to usurp the Host's credit.】

Heh!

Do you think I'm an idiot and can't see that?

Chen Xian took out the storage ring; there were one million Spirit Stones inside.

This was not a small amount for any Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator.

But for someone who saved the Commander of Jubei City, it was a mere drop in the bucket.

He had saved Liu Ruyan, the Commander of Jubei City. The rewards from the imperial court alone would be more than this.

Wu Jun was claiming credit for himself, but Chen Xian didn't care at all.

Right now, he not only had that sword casket, the beast bone sword, the Invincible Sword Body, and the Fearless Sword Technique, but also the curse of the Joyous Union Sect.

None of these things could be known by the imperial court.

Otherwise, he could expect these things to be divided up and stripped away.

So Wu Jun's selfish thoughts were, in a way, doing him a favor.

Otherwise, Chen Xian wouldn't have left so quickly.

【Today's Intelligence 2: The Demonic Cultivators did not retreat completely, but are instead lurking in Jubei City.】

Holy crap?

Chen Xian had been strolling in with Da Huang.

But seeing this piece of intelligence, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Damn it, are they trying to throw Jubei City into chaos?

What exactly do the Demonic Cultivators want to do?

Dormant for a thousand years.

This time, it seems they aren't just looking to cause a few minor conflicts and call it a day!

Chen Xian continued to look down.

【Today's Intelligence 3: True Prodigies and elites from the Southern Continent will arrive here within three days!】

Chen Xian: "..."

The original owner lived here for over twenty years without a single thing happening.

Then I transmigrate here.

First Demonic Cultivators, then the Southern Continent.

What exactly do they want to do?

And that Wu Jun.

A third-rank civil official of the Da Gan Dynasty.

At his age, that rank is indeed not low.

Is it necessary to go this far for some Demonic Cultivators?

For a moment, Chen Xian was a bit confused.

But he didn't want to think about those things now.

He returned to Juxian Tower.

First, he took out the items swallowed by Da Huang and categorized them one by one.

Then he began to identify them using the heaven concealing mirror.

He wouldn't have known without identifying them, but once he did, he was shocked.

Chen Xian didn't expect that for these items from the Joyous Union Sect, even a single brick or tile was practically fired using Heavenly Fire and Supreme Divine Soil.

It seems the status of the top Sect in the North Continent back then wasn't just talk.

Then another thought occurred to him.

That phantom had said everyone from the Joyous Union Sect deserved to die; especially judging by her tone, she absolutely loathed the people of the Joyous Union Sect to the bone.

Chen Xian let out a sigh.

It seems that to investigate this period of history, he would need to use some methods.

Late at night!

Cloaked in a black robe.

He vanished into the night.

At the same time.

On the top floor of Juxian Tower, Zi Yun and a beautiful middle-aged woman stood in the room, facing each other.

"Zi Yun, is this true?"

Zi Yun's face was deathly pale.

If it weren't for the fact that they needed to engage in Yin and Yang union every seven days, she probably wouldn't have spoken of this for the rest of her life.

But now, in order to avoid her body exploding, she could only bite the bullet and admit it.

However, in her account, she omitted many of the steps she had taken with Chen Xian, simply saying she had been plotted against and fed a hehuan pill.

Zhang Qingxue's face was grim.

Her Disciple, her pride and joy, had actually been plotted against.

"Do you know the strength of that phantom?"

Zi Yun hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This Disciple guesses she was at least a Saint!"

Hiss!

Hearing this, Zhang Qingxue...

...immediately felt her heart sink.

At the same time, she felt it was somewhat reasonable.

After all, according to Zi Yun's description, what could a powerhouse who could annihilate the Joyous Union Sect be if not a Saint!

"Revered Master, what should this Disciple do now?"

Zhang Qingxue looked at Zi Yun's miserable face.

She comforted her, "There will surely be a way. It's just that I haven't thought of it for the moment. Before the seven days are up, I will definitely make sure you survive. Don't worry, my Disciple!"

...In the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Even though it was the middle of the night.

The interior was still brightly lit.

After Chen Xian entered in disguise, someone quickly went up to greet him.

"This guest, what kind of business do you wish to conduct?"

"I heard the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has a Wanbao Vault that can investigate all things in the world. I wish to check it!"

The servant was stunned upon hearing this.

But just then, a dark shadow appeared behind him.

"You may leave. I will personally receive this distinguished guest!"

The shadow stepped out from the darkness.

It was precisely a Woman in Black Dress, with fair skin and an enchanting expression.

Just one look made Chen Xian's heart throb wildly.

Reasonably speaking, he had seen Liu Ruyan and Zi Yun, and had even had deep interactions with them.

Ordinary women wouldn't catch his eye.

But this one before him, he had to say, was not inferior to Liu Ruyan or Zi Yun in the slightest.

It's not as if his luck was only bad;

his luck with women hadn't been hindered at all.

"Fellow Daoist, the Wanbao Vault is not something just anyone can see. Entering requires not only money but also status!"

She looked at Chen Xian with a smile.

"I wonder what qualifications you have?"

Chen Xian gave a cold laugh.

He placed his hand on his face, and in an instant, his original face appeared before the woman.

"I wonder if this identity is enough?"

When the Woman in Black Dress saw Chen Xian's face,

she was stunned on the spot for several seconds before recovering.

"Hahahaha, so it's the Eldest Young Master of the Marquis of Jubei. My apologies!"

"If it is you, then naturally you may!"

"Please follow me!"

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at the Wanbao Vault.

But before entering, Chen Xian still threw a storage ring in front of her.

"This is the entry fee. I don't like owing people in my life!"

After throwing it to her,

Chen Xian walked straight inside.

The Woman in Black Dress toyed with the storage ring.

"Tsk tsk, wasn't it said that this Eldest Young Master was so poor he even sold his manor? How does he still have money?"

She thought that day, when Chen Xian walked out of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he would be targeted and beaten to death.

Unexpectedly, he not only survived,

but also seemed to be living quite well.

"Someone, investigate Chen Xian's recent movements for me!"

"Yes!"

Inside the Wanbao Vault.

Chen Xian quickly found the history regarding the Joyous Union Sect.

This was not compiled by the Joyous Union Sect itself, but by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion using its powerful intelligence network and a group of researchers of past history!
