Chapter 1217 - 340: Cloud Descending Sect Incident (3)
Just two days, and what he could see was just a deep forest.
"If it weren’t for Yi’Er bringing me here, I would never have found this place in my lifetime."
Yuchi marveled.
Putting away the Jiangzhou City Imperial Gazette, not to mention the Nine Regions, even the Third Region is vast and boundless. Without Yi’Er leading the way, he couldn’t have found such a place, a place that would disappear with just a glance from high above. Let alone looking from the sky, there is no difference visible at all.
At this moment, after arriving in the deep forest with Yi’Er, Yuchi unexpectedly discovered a place that resembled a temple. Surrounding the temple were several villages, Yuchi observed the temple with five courtyards to the left and five to the right, and the incense in the temple seemed quite prosperous.
He couldn’t help but chuckle.
Who would have thought that the Cloud Descending Sect was hiding in a temple, accompanied by many unsuspecting villagers who were helping to conceal its identity?
Inside the temple, a man who was quite a character approached, his thin face adorned with a mustache resembling that of a small rat.
"Another guest task, I don’t even know what to say, but these things are just like the Medicine Workshop, we’re all upstanding entities."
"I would rather the medicine gather dust on the shelf, and hope there are no patients in the world. With a horizontal banner ’A Healer’s Heart of Compassion’."
"Alright, let’s see who will be eliminated this time."
The man walked with Yi’Er through the temple, while Yuchi consumed an elixir to hide his presence as he followed along with the exchanged letters in the temple.
Earlier, Yuchi heard the man’s self-talk and couldn’t help but feel speechless.
"I’ve never seen such a brazen fellow. Since when did the Cloud Descending Sect become like the Medicine Workshop?"
"Moreover, the Medicine Workshop only exists among a small group of people; most of them are just selling medicine with eggs."
"Justice will be judged by the heart, after all, it’s just mutual benefits."
"The world is indeed a business, and human lives are just as so."
Following the man, Yuchi observed the situation around the temple.
Inside the temple, there were still many local villagers, who probably weren’t aware of the situation, and they were devoutly worshiping some statues.
The temple was dedicated to some statues, which didn’t resemble the living Buddhas of the previous life, appearing rather odd in form. Yuchi couldn’t recognize any of them, but there was one that looked somewhat like the Earth God, which was rather interesting.
Next to the Earth God, there was a couplet.
The right side was the upper part "Devoutness still requires offerings," the left was the lower part "Praying requires kneeling first," with a horizontal banner "Judged by the heart."
Yuchi: "..."
Well, what a bizarre way, does the Earth God in this world almost write "pay up" on their forehead? How direct! Totally unlike the Earth God from the previous world.
Then Yuchi could hear a lot of people around making prayers, asking for all sorts of things, mostly for a spouse, he couldn’t help it, if this Earth God really had a spouse, why would he be deceiving people outside like this?
"It’s just for peace of mind, but in an adult’s world, where is there peace of mind?"
"There’s only adapting to circumstances."
The disciples of the Cloud Descending Sect didn’t know Yuchi was trailing them, they twisted open a statue revealing a hidden passage behind it, which was dark and gloomy, leading the two disciples carrying letters into the area.
"So dark and cold," Yuchi mused leisurely.
Through observing the opponent’s talent, he could easily judge whether the other was a cultivator. Eventually, following someone, he arrived beneath the temple, where a hollowed-out space around two acres large contained a stone cave filled with various small stone houses.
"Similar to the previous Yatian Sect and Heaven’s Edge Sect."
"But this stone cave is the headquarters of the Cloud Descending Sect, with some powerful cultivators, yet they haven’t detected my presence yet."
Yuchi himself was a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage Ninth Layer, having consumed an elixir, unless the cultivator was higher than the Golden Core Stage Ninth Layer, they couldn’t detect him. Overall, these cultivators were indeed quite ordinary in skill.
Eventually, the letter was handed over to an individual.
The envelope was finally opened, a few people quickly gathered around to read it, immediately exclaiming.
"Hahaha, what is meant to come has finally come, someone wants to kill Chen Weiran!"
"Who wants Chen Weiran dead? They’re even getting our Cloud Descending Sect to do it!"
"Looking at the letter’s introduction, it’s someone named Yuchi."
"Yuchi?"
"This name sounds familiar."
"I know, this guy has some influence."
"He’s the president of the Xufu Town United Commerce Association, and he’s also the real leader behind the Jiangzhou City Immortal Robe Pavilion."
"Yes, seems like it. Speaking of which, we accepted the request from that sect’s Grand Elder to directly kill those women from the Immortal Robe Pavilion, but why now does Yuchi want us to kill Chen Weiran? Wasn’t he supposed to be retaliating against the Grand Elder?"
