The slums in Yaoguang City.
There are not only low-level monks, but also a small number of mortals.
The most intuitive feeling here is poverty. More than 90% of the houses are not protected by formations, and many people share a yard. The animal skin in the previous life was not obtained from anyone, but was found in an abandoned house.
Xie Jiuniang wandered around the slums.
I couldn’t find the house from my previous life for a while.
The environment is somewhat different from that of the previous life.
After a comparison, she finally discovered that the deserted house in her previous life was now in good condition and there were people living in it.
Xie Jiuniang was speechless for a moment.
The sword spirit learned of the master's embarrassment and rolled around in the contract space with joy, "Master, do you want to go in and take a look? The cultivation of the two people inside is not high, only the second level of Qi training."
"Need not."
Xie Jiuniang rejected His proposal.
Other people’s low level of cultivation is not a reason to climb over their walls.
But once you get here, you can't go back empty-handed.
"Little bitch, is there a similar animal skin in the house?" Xie Jiuniang took out half a piece of animal skin she got from Gongsun Xue.
The sword spirit carefully checked and searched, and then told her regretfully: "There is no animal skin, but... there is a person imprisoned in that cellar."
"Didn't I notice it just now?" Xie Jiuniang was surprised.
"There is a formation in the cellar that blocks divine sense detection."
"I wonder how you found out?"
"The world seen by spirits is different from that seen by humans." The sword spirit himself couldn't explain exactly how it was different, after all, he was not human.
Xie Jiuniang followed the location pointed out by the sword spirit and used her spiritual sense to check, and indeed she found the problem.
I was hesitating in my heart, should I save him
She didn't know who the prisoner was or what his identity was. Before rescuing him, she had to at least find out the reason.
Half of Xie Jiuniang didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but at this moment, her little voice started again: "Oh my, that man is so pitiful and weird. He is obviously not very old, how come he is almost dead?"
"Isn't it common for a thousand-year-old monster in the world of immortal cultivation to have a face that looks like a teenager?"
"Master is so stupid, do I look at your face?"
The sword spirit's words made Xie Jiuniang stunned.
Xie Jiuniang asked: "Please describe it in detail, don't be vague."
"Oh, his bone age is only in his early twenties, and he has already established his foundation. Logically, he should have a lifespan of at least two hundred years. But now he looks like he is about to die. At most, he can only hold on for two or three years."
"He was fatally wounded."
"No, it's not surprising if that's the case." The sword spirit couldn't explain the reason for a while.
Xie Jiuniang was aroused by the sword spirit's words.
Before she could take the next step, she suddenly saw a veiled nun hurriedly passing by, as if she was looking for something.
There was no one at the place where Xie Jiuniang was currently, which could be considered a blind spot. In addition, she used the invisibility talisman and the hiding talisman, so the female cultivator did not notice her when she passed by.
Xie Jiuniang was surprised, "White Peony?"
"It's her." The sword spirit confirmed, "She's not looking for the person in the cellar, is she?"
Xie Jiuniang asked back, "Is it really that ridiculous?"
"Of course, how about we make a bet?" The sword spirit suddenly had an idea and wanted to cheat the master of some spiritual stones. The little baby voice couldn't help but amplify it by two points, "How about betting a hundred spiritual stones? I bet Bai Mudan is looking for the person in the cellar."
"You lost, do you have any spirit stones for me?"
"I won't lose!"
"Ahh... I've already told you, dog owner, I won't lose."
"Haha, you're bound to win the bet, why should I bet with you?"
"This..." The sword spirit was exhausted and said listlessly, "The man in the cellar is related to Bai Mudan by blood, and their soul origins are very close."
Xie Jiuniang's smile disappeared instantly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"It doesn't matter if you tell me earlier or later. It won't benefit me." The sword spirit left with his spirit stone in grievance, "I haven't tasted the flavor of spirit stone for a long time, alas."
"Okay, I'll give you a hundred." Xie Jiuniang took out a hundred spirit stones.
As soon as the one hundred spirit stones appeared, they were swept away by a sword light and disappeared.
Then Xie Jiuniang heard the sound of something gnawing on a stone in the contract space.
Until now she still couldn't understand how a broken sword could make such a crackling sound
Then think about the issue of saving lives.
Xie Jiuniang was conflicted for a moment.
If I intervene in this matter rashly, will I still have that half piece of animal skin
But she made a decision quickly, took out Bai Mudan's sound transmission note and said, "Senior Sister Bai, was it you who just passed by? I'm in the slums of Yaoguang City..."
The note flew away.
Then, Xie Jiuniang showed up and walked out of the blind spot.
After a while, seeing Bai Mudan coming back, Xie Jiuniang waved at her.
Bai Mudan saw a half-grown boy waving at her and wanted to ignore him, but the man suddenly called her. When she got closer, she found out it was Xie Jiuniang.
"Junior Sister Xie, how did you get here?" Bai Mudan asked.
"I came out to gain experience." Xie Jiuniang didn't beat around the bush and pointed to the room next door. "Senior Sister Bai, are you looking for someone? I just saw a person imprisoned in the cellar of this room. He looks a bit like you."
The reasons given are not too elaborate, as long as the key information is included.
Bai Mudan was excited when she heard this and grabbed Xie Jiuniang's arm: "Really?"
Xie Jiuniang nodded and pointed to the location of the cellar.
Bai Mudan swept her spiritual sense and saw that there were only two low-level Qi training people inside, so she rushed in immediately.
Just as the two were about to ask who the visitor was, Bai Mudan threw out a rope, which tied them up tightly, preventing them from even sending a sound transmission talisman.
Bai Mudan came to the entrance of the cellar.
If she wanted to get in, she had to break the formation first, so she took out her magic weapon to attack the formation.
Xie Jiuniang was speechless and reminded: "Senior Sister Bai, these two people's cultivation is not high, they should have jade tokens on them."
"Master Xie is right to remind me." Bai Mudan was too nervous and didn't think of it for a moment.
After searching the two people, they found a jade token for entry and exit.
Bai Mudan successfully entered the cellar.
Not long after, Xie Jiuniang saw Bai Mudan coming out carrying a man on her back.
The man was very weak, his body was extremely thin, his face and eye sockets were sunken, it was quite miserable. Only the sword spirit could tell that the two were brother and sister. It would be difficult for a normal person to tell.
Bai Mudan raised her hand and killed the two people, then destroyed the bodies without even asking them a single question. She carried them on her back and walked out: "Xie Shijie, let's go quickly, the people from Tianji Tower will be here soon."
"Tianji Tower?" Xie Jiuniang's eyes turned cold.
Bai Mudan said anxiously: "I'll tell you later, we need to leave the city immediately."
"Okay." Xie Jiuniang strode after her.
