Jian Chen showed a smile on his face and said, "After the matter is completed, I hope the city lord will not regret it."
"Hahaha, fellow Taoist, where are you? Fellow Taoist is capable of resolving such a catastrophe for me. How could I offend someone like fellow Taoist just because of a mere quota?" Tan Yuxianzun said with a smile.
, he had already guessed in his heart that the mysterious man in front of him, who had hidden all his aura and cultivation, had an extremely impressive background.
"That's very good, but when the time comes, I still need the city lord's help." Jian Chen said.
Hearing this, the smile on Tan Yuxian Zun's face slowly faded, and he said seriously, "I wonder what you need me to do?"
"Simple, I need you to lead these people into a wilderness thousands of miles away, and then set up a shielding formation around them." Jian Chen said.
"Deploy a shielding array?" Tan Yuxianzun looked startled. The situation seemed to be a little different from what he thought. The light in his eyes flickered a few times and said, "Please forgive me for asking, what specific method did fellow Taoist use to resolve the problem?"
Is this disaster in our Fengxian City?"
"The city lord is also a person who has been here before, so why ask questions knowingly?" Jian Chen said.
Tan Yuxianzun's pupils shrank slightly. He instantly understood the meaning of Jian Chen's words, and his heart was filled with waves.
Immediately, the way he looked at Jian Chen changed subtly, and he said cautiously, "Fellow Taoist, you must have noticed that my injuries are extremely serious. I'm afraid I won't be able to be of much help by then."
"I don't need much help from you. I just need to set up a large shielding formation to cover it up. By the way, apart from those people in the formation, are there any other forces involved this time?" Jian Chen said.
Tan Yuxianzun's eyes flashed slightly, he hesitated a little, and finally said, "The high-grade artifact activated by many powerful men of the Dongxu Sect is called the Soul-Eating Furnace, and it comes from the Huatian Dao Sect."
"And I have just received the news that the saint of the Dongxu Sect has been married to an extraordinary disciple of the Huatian Dao Sect. This son is most likely a direct descendant of the Nirvana Ancestor."
Upon hearing the name Huatian Dao Sect, Jian Chen frowned slightly, because this sect is the second-ranked existence among the many top forces in the Tang Yao Heaven Realm.
After pondering slightly, Jian Chen stared at Immortal Tan Yu with piercing eyes and said, "Then
What is the cultivation level of Nirvana Patriarch?"
"The fifth level of Immortal Realm, master the way of divine fire." Immortal Tan Yu's expression suddenly became solemn.
For him, a strong man in the second heaven of the Immortal Realm, the fifth heaven should have a huge deterrent effect.
At this moment, Jian Chen's heart moved, and a ray of spiritual consciousness entered Taichu Temple. Immediately, he heard the strange laughter of the Thousand Soul Demon Lord, "Jie Jie Jie Jie, Sect Master, I will use the soul searching method to find those you want."
Information, the person behind this Immortal Emperor is the Nirvana Ancestor of the Huatian Dao Sect."
"On the surface, the Nirvana Ancestor is sanctimonious, possesses great righteousness, and has an upright demeanor of the Immortal Family, but in fact, he is secretly doing things that only us demons can do."
Jian Chen frowned slightly and said, "Let me tell you in detail."
"In the Huxiao family, the physical remains of any female fairy who has been drained of their essence by the method of collecting yin and replenishing yang will be collected by them, and then refined into a kind of nutrient using a special method, and these nutrients are added every other day.
It will be taken away by the people sent by the Nirvana Ancestor for a period of time." Qianhun Demon Lord said.
"Nutrition?" Jian Chen subconsciously thought of the ashes that had been transformed into mountains of corpses of countless female fairies.
"Could it be that the ashes turned into by those corpses are the so-called nutrients?" Jian Chen thought to himself.
Qianhun Demon Lord continued, "I learned from the memory of this Immortal Emperor of the Huxiao family that he didn't know exactly what the Nirvana Ancestor wanted these slough nutrients for, but I am also a person of the demonic path, so I can guess.
You can guess that it is nothing more than used to nourish some kind of powerful magical artifact."
"And such magical artifacts usually have certain unique functions and can restrain the powerful in the fairy world."
"In addition to the physical remains, the Nirvana ancestor also asked the Huxiao family to collect the souls of immortals for him. Once the female immortals imprisoned in the Huxiao family die, their souls will be absorbed by the soul-absorbing jade."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this soul-absorbing jade is rare.
The treasure you saw is extremely precious in the demon world. Even when I was at my peak, I only had a few pieces of it on my body. They were truly priceless and unmarketable. How dare the Nirvana ancestor of Huatian Dao Sect give away such a precious piece of soul-absorbing treasure?
If the jade is placed in the Huxiao family, aren't you worried that it will be taken away?"
"Soul-absorbing jade? But I didn't find this object in the Huxiao family." Jian Chen whispered.
"Jiejiejiejiejie, the sect master doesn't know something. The soul-absorbing jade has been filled with immortal souls. It was taken away by the Nirvana Ancestor ten years ago. It's a pity." Qianhun Demon Lord said.
Immediately, he seemed to remember something, the demonic flames in his eyes jumped, and said, "In Tangyaotian Realm, there are several forces like the Huxiao Family that serve the Nirvana Ancestor, and they all do the same thing as the Huxiao Family.
The trick is to wonder if there are still soul-absorbing jade among these forces."
Having said this, the Qianhun Demon Lord gritted his teeth and said, "Sect Master, why not find some time to uproot these forces as well, so that they will not continue to do evil and kill innocent female fairies one after another."
"I'm afraid you are eyeing the soul-absorbing jade." Jian Chen glanced at the Thousand-Soul Demon Lord.
Having seen through his mind at a glance, the Thousand Soul Demon Lord was not embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "Yes, I want the soul-absorbing jade. The sect master will do justice for heaven, punish rape and eliminate evil."
A wisp of Jian Chen's consciousness withdrew from the Taichu Temple, and the city lord of Fengxian City, Tan Yuxianzun, saw that Jian Chen had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of anxiety in his eyes, asking, "Is it possible that fellow Taoists are afraid of the Huatian Dao Sect? If so,
, Fellow Taoist, you don’t have to worry, even though a saint from the Dongxu Sect is married to someone from the Huatian Dao Sect, the Huatian Dao Sect will not take the initiative to become our enemy just for the sake of a mere saint."
"So, we only need to target Master Wukun of the Dongxu Sect and the Kunshan Sword Sect. If we don't take the initiative to provoke the Huatian Dao Sect, we can live in peace."
Tan Yuxianzun was obviously wary of the Huatian Dao Sect.
Jian Chen calmed down and said with a smile, "The city lord is worrying too much. Since I have agreed to resolve this disaster for you, even if the Huatian Dao Sect participates, nothing will be changed."
"go back
I still have to make some preparations after that, and I will do it in half a month, so I will take my leave today."
Jian Chen turned around and left the City Lord's Mansion.
After he left, the two deputy city lords Qiu Wanqian and He Luo appeared quietly in the hall.
"City Lord, do you really believe this person? If this person is really unafraid of the powerful strength of Patriarch Dongxu and Master Wukun, then if he wants to seize the Sky Sword Sutra from the hands of the City Lord, wouldn't it be like picking something out of a bag?
Is it that simple?" Qiu Wanqian said, cupping his fists, with a look of worry in his eyes.
"Brother Wan Qian is right, because I also have such worries. After all, under normal circumstances, everyone will achieve the greatest results in the least labor-saving way. But in the current situation, if it is the most labor-saving way, it is undoubtedly to directly obtain the results from the city lord.
Seize the Sky Sword Scripture in your hands instead of going to great lengths and risking offending the Huatian Dao Sect to become enemies with Patriarch Dongxu and Master Wukun." He Luo also expressed his worries.
"In my opinion, that person is most likely to be with Patriarch Dongxu and the others. As for his purpose, he probably wants to lure the city lord out of Fengxian City. After all, there are still many powerful people stationed in Fengxian City.
I am also worried that breaking the formation with force will harm others, especially top powers like the Xingyao Chamber of Commerce. If they are offended, even the Huatian Dao Sect will have to shed a layer of skin." Qiu Wanqian analyzed.
Tan Yuxianzun sat in the city lord's seat and listened quietly to the analysis of the two people. He had been silent for a long time before a voice finally came out, "So according to your opinion, Yang Yutian is not trustworthy?"
"City Lord, we have to be on guard, unless we let him go out alone to deal with Dongxu Sect and Master Wukun." Qiu Wanqian said worriedly.
He Luo's eyes flashed and he said, "City Lord, how about I take action personally and go to test it out?"
"No!" Tan Yuxianzun immediately stopped him and said, "If fellow Taoist Yang Yutian is not what you think, but is really capable of resolving this disaster for us, then if you rashly go to test it, wouldn't it be self-defeating.
"
"There is no need to talk about this matter. Now that even the Huatian Dao Sect is involved, we have no choice but to retreat. In that case, why can't we take a gamble?" Tan Yuxianzun said decisively.
