Half an hour later, a group of three cultivators came along the path that Chen Changsheng and Yan Laoqi had taken.
"Why is the mark gone?"
"Smell... there seems to be a burning smell in the air..."
"Did Old Seven capsize in the gutter?"
The three of them stared at each other with their eyes wide open.
"Let me try to cast a spell!"
One of them said this, muttering something under his breath, and released a stream of clear air from his right hand. After circulating around, the clear air returned to the person's hand, with some other colors in it, but they were all very light...
"How is it? Lao Wu, how is it?"
"There are indeed traces of two people using their magic power here, but it seems that there was no real fight. Or, they just tested each other briefly and then stopped!"
"Or... the winner was decided in an instant, and one of them died... There seemed to be a burnt smell in the air of the combiner, so I think the body must have been destroyed!" The fifth man replied.
"Destroy the body? Could it be that Lao Qi got some good stuff and kept it for himself?" Someone immediately got angry.
"Sixth Brother, don't worry. Eighth Brother, you and Seventh Brother saw that man together. What is his cultivation level?" asked Fifth Brother.
"It seems to be... the fourth level of Qi training..." Lao Ba replied.
"The fourth level of Qi training? There's no way Wu Lu could be a match for Old Seven. Could he have really run away? What kind of treasure could make him choose this path?" Old Six asked.
"It shouldn't be that serious... We all have the heart-eating poison planted by the boss. Is the seventh brother tired of living and dares to betray the boss?" The fifth brother frowned.
No matter how good something is, what’s the use if you’re dead?
"Could it be Old Seven who died? That's impossible. How could he have killed Old Seven at the fourth level of Qi training?"
"As for the question of whether you're afraid of death... have you forgotten Old Seven's origins?"
"Hehe, if he really comes across something that can revitalize their family, do you think he will run away?" Lao Liu sneered.
"The seventh brother is from the Yan family, which was originally a small family of immortal cultivators. They even occupied a second-rate spiritual vein. Unfortunately, the previous generation had a prodigal son as the head of the family. In order to break through to the foundation-building stage, he even sold the family spiritual vein in exchange for a black wind evil spirit. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. Not only did he lose himself, but even the family could not survive..." The eighth brother said slowly.
"Yes, Yan Laoqi's greatest wish is to redeem the spiritual vein and rebuild the Yan family. If he really comes across something useful for the reconstruction, will you run away?" Lao Liu said.
"This..." Lao Ba was speechless.
He also thinks that this possibility is very high!
"Then, should we continue chasing?" asked Lao Ba.
"Chase? There's no clue left, are you going to chase with your head?" Lao Liu rolled his eyes.
"Let's go, let's go back and tell the boss about this first!" The fifth brother finally made the decision, and the three of them had no choice but to return the same way...
Elsewhere, somewhere in a mountain stream, Chen Changsheng turned Yan Laoqi's storage bag upside down...
"You're only at the sixth level of Qi training, and you're still robbing people... Pah, you poor bastard!"
In the entire storage bag, apart from the long sword magic weapon used by Yan Laoqi himself, there were only a dozen or so spirit stones, some broken spirits, and talismans that were completely worthless to Chen Changsheng. Other than that, there was not a single elixir, magic weapon, or treasure from heaven or earth...
"Huh? There's actually a bug in this box... It's... a scent bug that can smell strange fragrances!"
Chen Changsheng once completed Lu Chengfeng's last wish. With the help of Chen Hu, he found Lu Tao, killed him, and took back the "Book of Controlling Insects". This scent-smelling insect is one of the strange insects recorded in the "Book of Controlling Insects"!
"And this talisman, eh... no, this talisman... why does it look so much like I drew it myself?"
Chen Changsheng checked the talismans one by one, and finally confirmed that these talismans were made by him!
"The talisman I drew actually appeared on the robber's body?"
"Interesting... Was it bought by the robber, or... was it given to the robber by those people?"
Instantly, Chen Changsheng's mind flashed back to the two people he had met at the Treasure Pavilion...
The murderous aura that hadn't dissipated and the evil spirit that almost filled his entire body...
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng took out the Wood Spirit Pearl and placed it close to the scent-sniffing insect. The scent-sniffing insect immediately began to twist its body frantically...
"As expected, this Wood Spirit Orb has been tampered with!"
"Manager Wan of Baibao Pavilion!"
"Yes, that's great!"
"I was wondering why I was so easily targeted the moment I left the market. Even disguises and clothes, like a warrior, couldn't help..."
"So it was you who did this!"
"Good, very good!"
"I haven't written my name in this little notebook since I entered the world of immortal cultivation. Okay, you're the first one!"
"No, there are also the Black and White Devils. Remember them too. Snakes and rats belong together!"
Chen Changsheng immediately took out his small notebook and solemnly wrote down the words: Wan, the treasurer of Baibao Pavilion, and the black and white evil spirits who were the robbers...
"Well, I haven't written in several years, but I'm still not rusty..."
After carefully putting away the small notebook, Chen Changsheng continued to head towards the mountain stream that Chen Xing mentioned.
Falling Star Mountain!
This is the base camp of the Black and White Devils!
As notorious robbers, they naturally did not rely on themselves alone, but also gathered a group of cultivators around them.
Although there are not many people, each of them is an elite!
"You said that Yan Laoqi ran away?" Heisha looked at the three people coldly.
"Yes, Boss. We followed the mark left by Yan Laoqi all the way, but the mark disappeared halfway. Then I used the tracking technique to extract traces of two cultivators fighting. I could even smell a slight burnt smell at the scene..."
"So, we infer that it must have been Yan Laoqi who did it himself. After slaughtering the fat sheep, he got some treasure and left directly!" Lao Wu replied.
"Leave? Humph, you guessed wrong... The one who died was not a fat sheep, but Yan Laoqi!" Heisha said coldly.
"What? The one who died was Yan Laoqi? This...how is this possible? I saw it with my own eyes, that man was only at the fourth level of Qi training, while Yan Laoqi was at the sixth level!" Lao Ba said anxiously.
"Can cultivation level explain everything? Besides... at the fourth level of Qi training... don't you know there's also the Breath Condensation Technique in this world?"
"The death of the heart-eating insect in Yan Laoqi's body is enough to explain all the problems!" Heisha said lightly.
It was he who planted the heart-eating poison on Yan Laoqi, so he could naturally sense the death of the poisonous insect.
"Ah? This... is my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me, Boss!"
Suddenly, the three of them knelt on the ground in fear...
At this moment, Chen Changsheng, who had killed Yan Laoqi, had appeared in a mountain stream. The ground was littered with corpses, and some wild wolves, tigers, leopards and other creatures were already eagerly enjoying the feast!
The flesh and blood of immortal cultivators are a great tonic for monsters, let alone ordinary wild beasts?
The beasts ate the flesh and blood of the cultivators. If the opportunity is right, they may become real monsters in the future!
