After flying for thousands of miles, Chen Chen stopped, found a deep mountain, hid in it, took off his mask, and restored his original appearance.
The moment he just killed Peach Blossom Sect Master, he used the Haoran Holy Light Art to purify the opponent's sea of consciousness. However, his consciousness had entered the middle stage of distraction, and after absorbing the consciousness of the early stage of distraction, the improvement seemed to be very small.
Shaking his head, Chen Chen took out the summons token.
"Master, I escaped, how about you?"
"As long as you're fine, I'm fine too. You hurry back to the sect. Once inside the sect, even that demon lord can't do anything to us."
Chen Chen breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing his master's message.
He didn't know what was going on with the Peach Blossom Sect now, nor how the Second Demon Lord would react when he found out that the Peach Blossom Sect leader had died.
He only knew that he needed to rest now. Forget about overcoming the tribulation along the way, he still had to fight wits and courage with the Peach Blossom Sect Master. The blow just now drained away almost all his strength.
At this point, he just wanted to lie down and sleep.
…
In this way, half a day later, Chen Chen woke up from his sleep. Although his brain was still a little groggy, the spiritual power in his body had recovered a lot.
Without any delay, Chen Chen flew directly towards the Jade Cauldron Sect, making a large circle in the process and avoiding the Peach Blossom Sect at a distance.
When he returned to the sect, the first person he met was of course his master.
Although the master was smiling all over his face at this time, Chen Chen could see sadness and self-blame deep in his eyes.
Chen Chen sighed inwardly. The reason why his master was like this must be because of Fairy Wu Nian.
Fairy Wu Nian went missing because she went out to look for her master. It would be impossible for her master not to blame himself.
If this matter cannot be resolved, I am afraid it will become Master's obsession.
"Master, what was the important treasure that day?"
Although Chen Chen knew it well, he still mentioned it in order to change the topic.
"It's Linglong Divine Gold." Qing Mu had nothing to hide from Chen Chen and replied directly.
"Whose hands did that exquisite divine gold end up in?" Chen Chen asked curiously.
“I’m not sure, but it’s definitely in the hands of our group of people who participated in the auction.
After the auction that day, a fight broke out, during which some of the auctioneer's disciples actually took the opportunity to leave the auction house.
I guess the Linglong Divine Gold was taken away by one of those people. Anyway, it was definitely not taken by someone inside the auction house.
I heard my master mention that the city lord of Lingjin City does not seek advancement. When faced with something like Linglong Divine Gold, he would only stay away from it. "
Chen Chen nodded after hearing this and said softly: "Those who can produce so many spirit stones... are most likely to be cultivators in the realm of the gods, and this monks in the realm of the gods are not as profound as ordinary ones."
"It's hard to say, but after the auction ended that day, the two people who started the dispute were the two cultivators from the Distraction Realm who participated in the auction. The two of them joined forces to suppress all of us Lianxu and find the Linglong Divine Gold, but Not long after we took action, the two Demon Lords of the Scarlet Demon Sect came and killed them all in one fell swoop."
Qingmu shook his head, his eyes full of doubts.
Chen Chen's eyes flickered when he heard this, and asked: "Master, who among you told the Second Demon Lord of the Scarlet Demon Sect that it was possible that Lingjin City was destroyed because of the internal auction at the Lingjin City Auction House?"
"It seems... what's the name of Master Yunshui? He was the first to take action that day."
Qingmu recalled it and said.
Upon hearing this answer, a thought flashed through Chen Chen's mind.
That exquisite divine gold was most likely taken by the layman Yunshui.
Although this person is a cultivator in the realm of distraction, he is very rational and knows that with his own cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to guard the exquisite divine gold.
The first move that day was to mislead the monks, making them think that he was not the one who took the photo of the exquisite gold.
Later, he was accidentally captured by the Second Demon Lord and misled the Second Demon Lord, causing the destruction of Lingjin City.
Although there was no evidence, Chen Chen had a sixth sense that it was this person.
This person is still the master of Zhou Lu. Why would Zhou Lu, a monk in the late stage of cultivation, dare to rescue his master alone after his master disappeared for so many days
You must know that he does not have as many trump cards as himself, nor is he as witty as himself.
As for valuing love and righteousness...
Chen Chen closed his eyes and thought about it carefully.
In the secret prison, Zhou Lu looked happy after seeing his master saved, but there seemed to be something wrong with that joyful emotion.
It's not like the kind of excitement after a loved one is saved, but rather like the kind of relief you feel after surviving a disaster.
Thinking again of the layman Yunshui... the person who ran away before him seemed to be him!
When he ran away, he didn't even glance at his apprentice. How could this look like a pair of master and apprentice with deep feelings? Let alone master and apprentice, the relationship is not as good as that between myself and my master.
After these scenes overlapped, Chen Chen became more and more convinced of his judgment.
Master Yunshui probably took the Linglong Divine Gold, and after getting it, he gave it to Zhou Lu, and asked Zhou Lu to leave Lingjin City with the Linglong Divine Gold.
After that, he made a big fuss at the auction house again... and the reason why he was so relieved about Zhou Lu was probably because Zhou Lu had a fatal clue in his hands.
This was also the reason why Zhou Lu had to venture back to Lingjin City to save layman Yunshui.
"I see, this Layman Yunshui has such a deep plan."
Chen Chen murmured, then his eyes lit up again, and he turned around and flew towards the outside of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
"Chen Chen, where are you going?"
Master's voice came from behind.
"I'm going out to find something. I'll be back soon!" Chen Chen replied loudly.
…
Within an hour, Chen Chen came to the ruins of Lingjin City again.
If Zhou Lu had a fatal clue in the hands of Master Yunshui, then he must not have that much trust in Master Yunshui.
In this case, it is impossible to bring the Linglong Divine Gold back to the residence of layman Yunshui.
If he were Zhou Lu, he would definitely hide the Linglong Divine Gold in a place that only he knew, and then tell the layman Yunshui the place after the handle was resolved.
This kind of place must meet one characteristic, that is, it is easy to access, so that it is convenient for Yunshui lay people to get it.
Maybe, just pick a dense forest and bury it.
Possibilities flashed through his mind. Chen Chen took a deep breath, without thinking any more, and began to ask the system: "System, use a ten-thousand-mile tracking to find the Linglong Divine Gold."
"Underground three thousand two hundred miles west of the host."
Hearing this answer, Chen Chen's eyes flashed with excitement. As expected, Zhou Lu really hid the Linglong Divine Gold in a very casual place near Lingjin City!
Now his natal magic weapon is waiting to be refined, and what he lacks is high-quality refining materials.
In this case, he met Linglong Divine Gold, which he absolutely cannot miss.
…
An hour later.
Chen Chen really found a storage ring under a stone in a deep mountain forest, and in the storage ring he found an exquisite piece of divine gold the size of a human head.
After receiving the divine gold, Chen Chen left immediately.
…
And just half a quarter of an hour after he left, someone came here.
However, this person is not layman Yunshui, but Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu was in a very excited mood at this moment. On that day, the master gave him a storage ring in the auction house and made him take a highly poisonous elixir.
Only his master had the antidote for this kind of elixir, so he didn't dare to run away with the treasure. After his master disappeared, he had to find a way to rescue him.
After learning that it was the Scarlet Demon Sect who had done this, he was already in despair. Unexpectedly, he met Zhang Ji halfway and actually rescued his master.
After both of them escaped, the first thing they discussed was of course the treasure.
Since the treasure was in his hand, he proposed to get the antidote first, and then leave. After he was far away from Master Yunshui, he would then inform Master Yunshui where the treasure was hidden through a summons token.
Master Yunshui desperately wanted to get the Linglong Divine Gold, but in the end he had no choice but to compromise, but he...
But he reported a false location far away from here!
Thinking of this, he laughed twice and carefully moved the stone away.
The next second, his body suddenly froze, because the storage ring hidden under the stone disappeared.
What's even more frightening is... At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded behind him.
"Disciple, you are still a bit immature when it comes to scheming as a master."
