33: If we talk about relatives, the master's wife is the closest.
Chapter 33: If we're talking about close relatives, my Shiniang is the closest.
Li Yunshu did not stay long at Tianquan Sect; he still needed to enter Wumeng Mountain as quickly as possible.
Of course, Di Bing did not let him leave empty-handed.
She not only gave him a flying Magical Artifact but also slipped him a communication jade talisman and several bottles of Medicinal Pills.
Grain-abstinence pills, detoxification pills, healing pills, and Medicinal Pills to help improve cultivation—one could say everything was prepared meticulously.
On the flying boat, Li Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If we're talking about close relatives, my Shiniang is the closest.
Li Yunshu glanced at the map given by the Empress and headed straight for his destination—Wumeng Mountain.
To be safe, he continuously held the Soul Banner in his hand, and the White-robed Yin Spirit stood beside him.
Flying over Baishui Town, Li Yunshu's eyebrows twitched; there was an acquaintance ahead.
Bai Lang!
He merely glanced, then immediately turned his head, remaining silent, planning to pretend not to recognize him.
After all, he was currently in the guise of Zhao Qian, and no one knew him.
However, to his surprise, Bai Lang flew directly towards him.
Li Yunshu's heart tightened, unsure what the other party intended to do.
Bai Lang landed on his flying boat, then cautiously looked left and right.
"Why are you here?"
Li Yunshu's eyes widened, asking with some disbelief.
"You can recognize me?"
One must know that even Liu Yiyi hadn't seen through his illusion art.
Bai Lang took out a portrait from his In my arms.
"You're quite famous now."
Li Yunshu took the portrait doubtfully, only to see that the person in the drawing was himself.
Below, there were a few lines of text.
"[Li Yunshu, a Daoist from Jingming Temple in the Great Chu Capital, bounty amount: 100,000 Spirit Stones.]"
"What's going on!"
Li Yunshu's head buzzed; when had he been placed under a bounty?
A bounty of 100,000 Spirit Stones—what a grand gesture! He probably couldn't earn that many Spirit Stones in his lifetime.
The first person he suspected was Zhao Youde; only he had the motive and the financial means.
Bai Lang whispered.
"The Night Assassin issued a bounty order not long ago. Now, not to mention Night Assassin killers, the entire Great Chu knows your head is worth 100,000 Spirit Stones."
Li Yunshu touched his neck, feeling a chill run through him.
Money truly allows one to do whatever one desires!
Zhao Youde actually thought of such a vicious method as publicly placing a bounty on his head!
Thinking of this, Li Yunshu couldn't help but glance at Bai Lang again.
"Facing 100,000 Spirit Stones, Brother Bai is actually unmoved."
"What are you saying, what is this!" Bai Lang said indignantly, "I treat you as a brother; am I that kind of person?"
Li Yunshu smiled and apologized.
"It was I who judged a gentleman with a villain's heart."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Bai Lang silently put away the Soul-Shattering Powder in his sleeve, and a spatial crack behind him slowly closed silently.
Only then did Li Yunshu notice that the title above Bai Lang's head had changed.
"[Searching for the Saint Lord's Reincarnation]" had become "[Holy Fire shines, Holy Light glows, Long Live the Holy Sect!]"
Bai Lang's subsequent words directly resolved the doubts in his heart.
"The Saint Lord has been found, why are you still in the Town Demon Division?"
Li Yunshu's mind raced; the Heavenly Demon Sect Master's Reincarnation had been found!
Last time, when he met Bai Lang, he used the excuse that he was an undercover agent in the Town Demon Division to search for the Saint Lord's Reincarnation.
He didn't expect that the Heavenly Demon Sect's Saint Lord would appear so quickly.
"I had no choice." After Li Yunshu vaguely replied, he immediately changed the topic, "How did you see through my illusion art?"
"My current eyes have been cultivated to the Void Refining Realm; they can break through all illusions below the Void Refining Stage."
"Void Refining..."
From Bai Lang's words, Li Yunshu roughly understood that Cultivators at the Void Refining Stage could see through his illusion art.
Bai Lang was slightly smug but still pretended to be modest.
"It's just that my eyes have reached Void Refining."
In fact, he had thanked Li Yunshu countless times in his heart during this period.
In just one month, he had leaped from the Early Stage Golden Core to the Nascent Soul Stage, all thanks to the Secret Realm map in that fat guy's Cosmos Sack.
After thinking for a moment, he still reminded him.
"You should still travel by flying boat; flying through the air is too conspicuous."
Li Yunshu looked in the direction of Wumeng Mountain.
"Let's descend when we reach Wumeng Mountain."
"You're going to Wumeng Mountain?"
Hearing Bai Lang's tone, Li Yunshu immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.
After all, he wasn't a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so there were certainly some things he wouldn't know.
"I haven't been in the Capital recently; did something happen?"
He knew that Bai Lang might be suspicious of his identity, he just didn't know if his words could dispel the other party's doubts.
To his relief, Bai Lang did not doubt his words.
"This matter is extremely secretive; it's normal that you wouldn't know.
The Saint Lord has already arranged for people to set up the Blood Spirit Grand Formation in Wumeng Mountain. If you go in now, you'll just be buried with the Tianquan Sect."
Blood Spirit Grand Formation, Li Yunshu didn't know what kind of Formation it was, nor did he know its power.
He only knew that things had changed, and Sun Shichang's Secret Realm was temporarily inaccessible.
On one hand, Night Assassin killers were secretly trying to harm him, and on the other hand, Wumeng Mountain had become a dangerous place.
Li Yunshu thought for a moment and put away the Soul Banner.
Then he lowered his flying boat and landed in Baishui Town.
"In that case, I'll stay in Baishui Town for now."
Bai Lang agreed.
"Perfect, I also need to settle down in Baishui Town."
Li Yunshu's eyes flickered, then he looked at the pedestrians on the streets of Baishui Town, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.
Looking at the titles above these pedestrians' heads, there were quite a few members of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Could Baishui Town be the Heavenly Demon Sect's old lair?
Although he had doubts, Li Yunshu knew that the more he spoke, the more likely he was to make mistakes, so he didn't ask any questions.
Bai Lang spoke.
"Let's stay in the same inn."
"Okay."
Li Yunshu didn't refuse either. The two walked a short distance down the street and found an inn to check into.
As soon as they entered the inn, Li Yunshu heard people discussing him.
"Where exactly is this Li Yunshu?"
"I only heard that he left the Capital and came to Yunzhou; who knows where exactly he is."
Li Yunshu and Bai Lang exchanged glances, neither speaking.
After paying and going upstairs, Bai Lang followed Li Yunshu into his room.
"You heard it all, didn't you?"
Li Yunshu nodded.
"What kind of Formation is the Blood Spirit Grand Formation?"
"The Blood Spirit Grand Formation can sacrifice Souls and flesh. The power unleashed by the Tianquan Sect Disciples participating in the trial, plus the Yao Beasts in Wumeng Mountain, is enough to kill Zhao Shijie."
Zhao Shijie, Li Yunshu was not unfamiliar with this name; he was the Sect Master of Tianquan Sect.
"Brother Bai, there's something I'd like your help with."
"What is it?"
Li Yunshu said word by word.
"Release news that Li Yunshu has been found in Wumeng Mountain."
Before Tianquan Sect sealed the mountain, trick all those holding bounty orders into Wumeng Mountain.
Use the power of the Blood Spirit Grand Formation to slaughter all these people.
This would also benefit the Heavenly Demon Sect, as these people could further amplify the power of the Blood Spirit Grand Formation.
"Brilliant!" Bai Lang's eyes lit up. "I'll go now."
