Ch 129: A Startling Secret Discovered!
Tonight, the moon hangs like a disc, its silvery light spilling across the heavens.
Lu Qing’an and Zhen Yongfu were flying through the night sky, heading towards the Alchemist Guild.
At this moment, Lu Qing’an held a delicate compass in his hand—the Search Demon Formation he had just rearranged.
The Search Demon Formation showed nothing.
“An Ge, it’s impossible for there to be Demon Race traces in Wangxu City, right? For the Demon Race, the Xianjian Sect is like a death trap; they couldn’t possibly infiltrate this place.” Zhen Yongfu looked at the formation in Lu Qing’an’s hand, somewhat excited, but then changed his tone, pouring cold water on Lu Qing’an’s enthusiasm.
Lu Qing’an said calmly, “I was just casually checking.”
He had just had Zhen Yongfu contact Murong Yinxue, confirming that she had finished her alchemy and could return to the Alchemist Guild. He was preparing to put on his mask and go buy some Immortal Medicine.
On the way, having nothing better to do, he took out the Search Demon Formation to see if there were any traces of the Demon Race in Wangxu City.
He also thought the probability of the Demon Race appearing in the Xianjian Sect was extremely low, but he couldn’t rule out the possibility. The reason he suddenly had this whimsical idea was a thought that flashed through his mind.
Under Panlong City lies a Demon Dragon, and he couldn’t help but wonder if there was also a powerful Demon Race figure lurking beneath Wangxu City, sealed in the depths of darkness.
Murong Qingming once said that the Demon Dragon sealed beneath Panlong City was a corner of the Vast Life Array, and that Wangxu City might also hide a part of the Vast Life Array, and it was also very likely to seal a strong Demon Race person, using their body to power the formation.
“An Ge, how much did you sell to Jubaozhai? Four hundred million Immortal Stones! It’s truly astonishing!”
Zhen Yongfu had already handed the Immortal Stones to Lu Qing’an, but the shock in his heart had not subsided.
This amount of Immortal Stones stunned him.
He doubted he would ever be able to save up this many Immortal Stones in his lifetime!
Lu Qing’an’s tone was calm, his expression indifferent: “I only sold a few Treasures, not many.”
Not many?
Zhen Yongfu looked at Lu Qing’an’s nonchalant expression, a bitter smile on his face.
Just tell me that, if others heard it, they’d definitely question their life choices.
It’s too crazy.
“So how do you plan to spend these Immortal Stones? All on buying Immortal Medicine?” Zhen Yongfu asked again.
Lu Qing’an said, “I’ll buy what I can. Mainly, I’m not very familiar with Wangxu City yet, and it’s relatively dangerous here. In the early stages, I’ll buy less and see how things go before deciding whether to buy more.”
Although Murong Yinxue promised not to reveal his whereabouts, there are no secrets that can’t be leaked. If he spent four hundred million Immortal Stones all at once, it would attract countless strong people to covet them.
So he could only spend the money in installments, slowly exchanging it for Immortal Medicine, converting it into lifespan.
The two flew through the air, and the outline of the Alchemist Guild gradually became clearer. Lu Qing’an had changed his clothes and disguised his appearance.
“An Ge, with this disguise, even I wouldn’t recognize you,” Zhen Yongfu joked.
Lu Qing’an nodded, “Wait here, I’ll be right back.”
Having said that, he was about to put away the Search Demon Formation when he suddenly paused, his expression under the mask instantly becoming solemn.
Seeing Lu Qing’an stop and stare intently at the compass in his hand, Zhen Yongfu asked, “An Ge, what’s wrong? Could it be that there are really Demon Race members hidden in Wangxu City?”
Lu Qing’an beckoned Zhen Yongfu closer.
Zhen Yongfu immediately leaned in, his gaze falling on the compass’s light screen.
He suddenly discovered that countless red dots appeared on the edge of the screen!
At this moment, he couldn’t help but gasp.
Lu Qing’an had just told him that if this happened, it meant the presence of the Demon Race!!
And these red dots, there were at least a hundred of them!
Clustered together, they looked like a giant red light cluster!
“This… so many?!”
Zhen Yongfu’s speech became slurred.
There are so many Demon Race members in Wangxu City?! How is this possible!
Lu Qing’an also frowned, saying, “Unlike the Demon Dragon in Panlong City, these are mostly small red dots, clearly the aura of ordinary Demon Race members.”
“Let’s go, let’s get closer and take a look!”
Lu Qing’an carefully led Zhen Yongfu closer to the dense red dots. They weren’t far from the Alchemist Guild; after flying for only a few dozen miles, they stopped again.
“Wow, I never expected this.”
Lu Qing’an found that the number of red dots was even clearer, and there were several larger red dots among them.
In his experience, they should have Huan Yu Realm cultivation!
Probably around the early to mid Huan Yu Realm!
In other words, there are several early to mid Huan Yu Realm Demon Race members hidden there!!
“It’s so close to the Alchemist Guild; could it have something to do with the Alchemist Guild?” Lu Qing’an looked at the towering building of the Alchemist Guild with a deep expression.
Zhen Yongfu whispered, “Should we pretend to pass by and investigate the situation?”
Lu Qing’an nodded, removed his mask, and changed back to his normal appearance. The two were relatively safe in Wangxu City; those Demon Race members wouldn’t dare act rashly, especially near the city center. The two slowly approached, and without incident, finally arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.
Zhen Yongfu’s heart was in his throat.
After they moved away from the mansion, he whispered in shock, “An Ge! Guess whose mansion that is?”
Lu Qing’an frowned slightly, “Whose?”
Zhen Yongfu took a deep breath and said, “The Wang Family!”
“Wang Xiaohong’s family?” Lu Qing’an asked.
“That’s right! They only moved into Wangxu City recently. They weren’t here before. They chose a location close to the Alchemist Guild for the convenience of Wang Xiaohong’s grandfather’s visits to the Alchemist Guild.” Zhen Yongfu was shocked, clearly not expecting that they would discover such a shocking secret.
“So, the Wang Family is colluding with the Demon Race.” Lu Qing’an hadn’t expected this discovery either.
He just wanted to see if there were any Demon Race members in Wangxu City, but he unexpectedly discovered the Wang Family’s secret!
“An Ge! What should we do? Pretend we didn’t see anything, or should we report this to the Xianjian Sect?” Zhen Yongfu wasn’t stupid; the Wang Family was clearly plotting something, or had something they couldn’t let others know, to collude with the Demon Race.
Lu Qing’an pondered for a moment and slowly said, “Let’s not act rashly for now; let’s wait and see.”
He felt that it was better to wait and see for now.
The Wang Family must have some big secret, and if they really spread the news about the Demon Race here, it might not be possible for the Xianjian Sect to kill all the Demon Race members here, and they might even bring fire upon themselves.
There were several Huan Yu Realm Demon Race members lurking within the Wang Family, and even for him, dealing with them would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, is there a possibility that someone within the Xianjian Sect is also colluding with these Demon Race members?
“Okay! I’ll listen to you!” Zhen Yongfu also knew that this matter was extremely serious; if not handled properly, it would lead to irreversible consequences.
From his Uncle-Master Bai Lu’s experience, it could be seen that the Wang Family was not to be trifled with.
“Mm, let’s keep this secret to ourselves for now and wait and see. Let’s take care of our own business first.” Lu Qing’an suppressed his curiosity, put away the Search Demon Formation, and then the two returned to the place they had previously agreed upon.
He put his mask back on and went to the Alchemist Guild to find Murong Yinxue.
Murong Yinxue was already waiting for him at the door. When she saw him, she smiled brightly and quickly went to greet him.
