The Path to Immortality

For Fang Ping, he thought that the chance encounter between Shen Huaiqian and Sun Yun'er was just a trivial matter.

As the foundation-building monk Shen Huaiqian and the deacon of the Alchemy Hall, he could use some personal connections to help Sun Yun'er find out the whereabouts of several monks.

As long as he shows some strength and provides some care during this period, it shouldn't be a problem to win the heart of this female cultivator.

But what he didn't expect was that less than ten days later, Shen Huaiqian found him with a frown on his face.

"What are you talking about? A large number of Qi practicing monks have disappeared in Fuyun Shanfang City recently?"

Fang Ping was slightly shocked.

Shen Huaiqian nodded heavily: "As you know, I have been helping to inquire about the whereabouts of the Sun family recently. But the results of the inquiry are really shocking. In the past two months, at least the Qi practicing monks who have been in and out of Fuyun Shanfang City have disappeared. Hundreds of them. Among them, some of the weakest are in the middle stage of Qi training, and some of the strongest are even in the middle of Qi training!"

Hundreds of Qi Practitioners missing?

This is indeed a bit appalling.

That is to say, the evil tribulation broke out recently, the situation was chaotic, and there were too many monks coming and going, which covered up the matter to a certain extent. At any other time, such a large-scale disappearance would have caused turmoil and panic.

Fang Ping pondered for a few breaths and asked, "Is your information accurate? Is it possible that the monks encountered some accidents on the way, or were assigned to them differently, but it was difficult to determine their whereabouts in a hurry?"

Shen Huaiqian shook his head: "It's not impossible what you said, but there won't be so many people. And according to my investigation, many of the missing people were attracted by the rewards and took the initiative to hunt down the devil. How could these people just leave? Not long after arriving in Fuyun Shanfang City, he didn’t even arrive at the frontline stronghold, and there was no record of boarding the Immortal Alliance flying boat. He just mysteriously disappeared? "

Seeing Shen Huaiqian say this, Fang Ping also felt very suspicious.

However, even if someone is interested in these Qi-training monks, what is their purpose?

Could it be that the Jie Xiu gang was responsible for killing people and selling goods?

Or maybe there is a small group of demons with outstanding strength who were lucky enough not to be discovered by the frontline monks and wandered all the way from the Qingyuan Demon Realm to the vicinity of Fuyun Shanfang City?

He thought for a while and said: "If this matter is left unchecked, the number of monks who will disappear in the future may be far more than these hundreds... What are you going to do?"

Shen Huaiqian didn't seem to have figured out how to investigate, and said awkwardly: "It's hard to say for the time being. Without specific clues, trying to find these missing monks is like finding a needle in a haystack. I have already reported the news to Senior Brother Luo and Fellow Daoist Duan. I believe that the local controller of Fang City will send someone to investigate secretly later, and I will continue to pay attention to it in the near future. If you find any clues, remember to inform me as soon as possible!"

"This is a matter of duty!"

Fang Ping agreed immediately.

Seeing that he agreed to help out of dignity, Shen Huaiqian thanked him and left quickly.

Send Shen Huaiqian away.

Fang Ping walked around the cave a few times and made a decision in his mind. He used the Phantom Body Technique to change his body shape, got up and went to Fangshi, where he inquired and explored everywhere.

Although the matter seemed to have nothing to do with him, the disappearance of hundreds of Qi-training monks was by no means a trivial matter.

If there is any conspiracy, it might affect the safety of Fuyun Shanfang City.

By then, he who is sitting here will inevitably be implicated.

For this reason, the smart way is to find out the root of the problem as soon as possible and solve the person behind the disappearance case in one fell swoop.

However, it is too difficult to rashly investigate such cases without clear clues and in an unfamiliar place.

Fang Ping spent several days to conduct a general tour of Fang City. During this period, he even disguised himself as a qi-training monk and walked around twice outside Fang City. He did not find any clues. Instead, he hooked up a late-stage qi-training monk. The calamity of cultivation.

But no matter how you look at it, a robbery cultivator of this level cannot be related to the disappearance case.

After a preliminary interrogation, it was confirmed that this person was just an ordinary lone robber cultivator, and Fang Ping, who had nothing else to gain, could only temporarily stop his aimless search.

………

Three days later.

The demonic realm of Qingyuan City suddenly erupted into violent fluctuations, and the endless demonic energy seemed to turn into a great tide, pouring out from the passages between the two realms.

Affected by this, more demons poured into the immortal world of Liang Kingdom. Following the spread of the demonic tide, they launched a new round of fierce attacks on the immortal monks on the Yuehe Plain.

Among them, there were even several golden elixir demons!

This violent attack without warning immediately alarmed the five immortal sects.

Just half a day later, the shocking changes in the Demon Realm of Qingyuan City, as well as the attacks on the defense lines and strongholds in Yingzhou, were reported to several Jindan ancestors on the front line by the foundation-building monks who specialized in monitoring the situation in the Demon Realm.

"This time the demonic tide surged again, and several golden elixir demons actually appeared in one fell swoop. Even if we look at all the demonic tribulations in the past, there are only a handful of them... Could there be some unprecedented change in the Qingyuan Demonic Domain? "

Fairy Qinghe from the Hehuan sect asked in surprise.

She is the least accomplished among the four golden elixir monks of the Hehuan Sect. She only formed the elixir sixty years ago and is still in the early stage of the golden elixir.

On the Luoyang Sect's side, the Jindan monks stationed on the front line are Taoist Taoists.

He and Old Taoist Han Chi, the golden elixir monk of the Spiritual Beast Sect, looked at each other and guessed something. Their faces were not surprised, but rather smiling.

Noticing the expressions of the two of them, Fairy Qinghe seemed to have noticed something, and asked: "Two fellow Taoists, is it possible that what Qinghe said is wrong?"

Old Taoist Han Chi twisted his beard and smiled, and said: "The fairy said it herself, similar situations have been rare in the past. This time the demonic tribulation broke out early, and it is reasonable to say that the stamina will be even less powerful, but it was uncharacteristically violent, and it broke out so violently. Don't you think it's a little strange? ?”

"this……"

Fairy Qinghe calmed down after being reminded by him.

After reviewing the collected information again, I realized that something was fishy.

But even so, Qingyuan Demon Realm is so abnormal, so we still have to go and investigate, right? What if something unexpected happened?

Taoist Zhaixing spoke slowly and said: "To be honest with Fairy Qinghe, our Luoyang Sect has received a secret report before. An old Jindan demon from the Huanmo Sect has secretly sneaked into the immortal world of Liang Kingdom. We don't know the specific plan of this person for the time being. . But you can probably guess that they are here to delay our efforts to quell the demonic calamity and create more chaos."

"What?"

This top-secret information made Fairy Qinghe change her appearance slightly.

She couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me which golden elixir devil it is?"

The Taoist Taoist Master mused: "Based on the current news, it should be the [Blood Yaksha] Yin Jue Sect."

"Is it him!?"

Fairy Qinghe has long heard of this demon's illustrious reputation.

Although his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Golden Core, he is cautious by nature, decisive and ruthless in his actions, and he is also good at stealth and sneak attacks. However, he is loyal to the Demon Lord.

During the battles in the world of immortality cultivation in the Chen and Yue Kingdoms, he struck out several times, severely injuring and assassinating three Jindan monks from the Immortal Sect. He made great contributions to the Illusion Demon Sect and made the Yue Kingdom's Immortal Sect extremely fearful.

There are rumors that this demon has been personally praised by the Demon Lord and is regarded as one of the four confidants under the Demon Lord.
