Shen Zhao: "Yes, there are many. But they usually hide their identities and are protected by experts around them."
While the two were chatting, two figures fell from the sky and landed not far away.
Wu Bei took a look and saw that the people who came were not weak in cultivation. One of them must be a middle-aged man in the third realm of earthly immortals, and the other one was in the same cultivation level as human immortals like him.
The Earth Immortal had a gray beard and his clothes were mushy and torn, as if he had just been burned by fire. He looked anxious and said to the young man who was traveling with him: "Wash your face quickly and run for your life!"
The young man was in his early twenties. He was also very embarrassed, his clothes were torn and his hair was burnt. He plopped on the ground and said gratefully: "Master, I'm sorry for you!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
The young man kowtowed three times, turned around and ran out. He was not an earthly immortal and could not fly for a long time, but his running speed was not slow and he disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.
Seeing the young man walking away, the middle-aged man sighed softly, then turned to look at Shenzhao.
Shenzhao closed his eyes, as if he didn't see anything. Wu Bei did the same. He turned away and silently ate the fruit Lan Yue gave him.
The middle-aged man looked at it for a few times and then suddenly came over.
When he was more than ten steps away from Shenzhao, the latter opened his eyes and said coldly: "One step closer and I will take action!"
The middle-aged man said coldly: "I have no interest in fighting with people I don't know. I'm here to warn you two. It's best not to tell others about what you just saw!"
Shenzhao said calmly: "Don't worry, we don't like to meddle in other people's business. If you want to kill, just kill him."
The middle-aged man took a deep look at Wu Bei and Shenzhao, then turned to look in the direction in which the young man was escaping. He pointed his hand in the air and a gray light flew out.
Wu Bei's eyesight was very good. He saw that the gray light was actually a rusty dagger. It flew out like lightning. Half a minute later, the dagger flew back again and he put it in his sleeve.
Wu Bei could clearly see that there was a trace of blood on the dagger. Did he kill the young man just now?
Putting away the dagger, the middle-aged man sighed lightly, stamped his feet and flew away.
In the real world, flying is relatively easy, and it can fly a long distance, and the speed is faster than airplanes outside.
After the middle-aged man left, Shenzhao immediately stood up and said: "Master, let's leave quickly!"
Wu Bei didn't ask any questions, and the two quickly left the scene. Within half a minute of their departure, the middle-aged man left and returned. Only this time he brought another Earth Immortal with a higher cultivation level than him!
Seeing that Wu Bei and Shenzhao were gone, the middle-aged man with a gray beard snorted: "You ran pretty fast!"
The person who came with him was older, and he said: "Junior brother, you and I made a mistake in refining a batch of 'Longmen Dan'. The Danding Sect spent hundreds of years in order to collect this batch of medicinal materials, and the loss was huge! If
If it weren’t for your apprentices to take care of us, we would all be severely punished by the sect leader!”
The middle-aged man with a gray beard sighed softly and said: "Senior brother, I have already arranged the scene. Then we will say that the elixir was stolen by him. In this case, although you and I are also guilty, the crime will not lead to death!
"
The senior brother nodded: "That's all. But why did you let those two people see you, master and disciple?"
The middle-aged man showed a sinister smile and said: "With the sect master's shrewdness, he will definitely pursue the investigation. So we must make up the story. Once he investigates, we will say that the matter is related to these two people. These two
One of them is not inferior to me in cultivation, and the other is a human immortal with excellent bones. He must have taken some precious medicine. The best thing is that they have no obvious sect marks on their bodies, and most of them are wild cultivators.
Putting all these conditions together, it would be perfect to frame them!"
The senior brother nodded repeatedly and said: "At that time, we will hand over the portraits of these two people to the master of the sect, and say that he took the elixir, so that he can't say anything about it."
Wu Bei didn't know it yet, but someone he didn't know had somehow plotted against him. He and Shenzhao came to a quiet woods and stopped to rest.
He couldn't help but ask: "Old God, why did that man kill his apprentice just now?"
Shenzhao: "I don't know. I only know that he deliberately killed people in front of us. Most likely he wanted to divert trouble to others and had no good intentions!"
Wu Bei thought for a while and said: "Based on my experience, those two people should have failed in refining the alchemy and exploded the alchemy furnace. This situation is called furnace explosion."
Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Exploding the furnace?"
Wu Bei nodded: "Yes, it's a furnace explosion! From their bodies, I smelled the smell of several elixirs. If my judgment is correct, what they want to refine is probably a kind of elixir to help high-level earth immortals break through.
, the value is very high. The energy of high-grade elixirs is very strong, and if you don’t control it well during refining, it can easily explode the furnace.”
Shenzhao quickly asked: "Master, what is the approximate level of the elixir you are talking about?"
Wu Bei thought for a while: "I feel that nine out of ten of them are elixirs that are helpful to the True Lord. The medicinal materials used in such elixirs are generally very precious."
Shenzhao is a human spirit. He thought for a moment and said: "I understand. The Earth Immortal must have had problems refining the alchemy, so he put the blame on his apprentice. He probably did this to avoid punishment from the sect."
Wu Bei asked: "Can you tell which force he comes from?"
Shenzhao shook his head: "It's hard to say. There are many big forces capable of raising alchemists, and there are even several forces specializing in alchemy."
Wu Bei: "It seems that he is an alchemy master, but his alchemy skills are too poor, and he has wasted a batch of precious elixirs."
After saying this, he still felt puzzled and said: "But what does this matter have to do with us? How can we divert the misfortune to the east?"
Shenzhao said: "The master has just come to the immortal world, and he doesn't know how cruel it is here. As I expected, after that man goes back, he will definitely put all the blame on his dead disciples. We are also very likely to be implicated.
Among them, for example, he can say that we are the instigators behind his apprentice."
Wu Bei's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Did we instigate it? How can we frame others so randomly?"
Shenzhao said calmly: "Master, you may not have noticed that your bones are extremely good and the treasure is exposed. In this situation, it is very much like you have just taken the elixir."
Wu Bei was speechless for a while: "Would the forces behind them believe such nonsense?"
Shen Zhao: "If the master wants to explain to them, then you have to tell all your secrets. Is the master willing?"
Wu Bei was stunned: "Of course I refuse."
Shen Zhao: "If the master refuses, it will be equivalent to being convicted, and then you can only let them do whatever they want."
Wu Bei was so angry that his stomach hurt: "This is really unreasonable!"
Shenzhao: "People in the Earthly Immortal Realm never talk about reason. They only talk about fists and background."
After speaking, he added: "The main reason is that neither my master nor I have the marks of the sect. He must think that you and I are wild cultivators, so he dared to frame us boldly."
Wu Bei: "In the earthly immortal world, do wild cultivators have such no status?"
Shen Zhao: "Yes. The living environment of wild cultivators is very harsh, and they often become the targets of big forces. If not, I would not have taken refuge in that force back then."
