Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 33: Conspiracy

"Ji Yao Bureau's Fang Yuan has met the two young friends. Are you both disciples of the Kunlun Immortal Sect?" Fang Yuan quickly walked up the corridor and respectfully greeted Xu You with a cupped fist salute.

His voice and etiquette were somewhat contradictory to his fierce face.

Bai Genshuo glared at the madam beside him, who quickly waved her hand and shook her head, indicating that she did not leak the information.

"We have met Director Fang, but we wonder how Director Fang knew our identities," Xu You returned the salute and asked.

Fang Yuan said, "I have seen Immortal Gate disciples several times before. The two of you have a unique temperament in this Fragrant Garden. You both have the style of the Immortal Gate. Furthermore, I knew that the Kunlun Immortal Sect would send people to investigate this Fragrant Garden, so I approached you."

"I am Xu You, and he is Bai Genshuo." Xu You admitted openly.

Fang Yuan sighed emotionally and said, "Both of you, as Immortal Masters, have reached the third realm at such a young age. You are truly heroes among the youth."

It was no wonder that others were amazed. Compared to him, a cultivator who had only just entered the fourth realm after many years of struggle, the elite disciples of the Kunlun Immortal Sect were like heaven and earth.

It could be said that all cultivators in the world envied the disciples of the Five Sects and Seven Schools. They were the true geniuses of the cultivation world.

Xu You naturally humbly replied, while Bai Genshuo enjoyed the praise and interacted enthusiastically with Director Fang.

Xu You always wore a faint smile, his mind filled with thoughts.

"I wonder if Young Master Bai has discovered anything in the investigation. This criminal has caused panic among the people of Luofeng City for so many days. If this continues, our livelihoods will be affected."

"To be honest, I searched for a long time before, but I couldn't find anything useful," Fang Yuan chatted with Bai Genshuo for a while. When the atmosphere was right, he casually asked.

Slap!

Bai Genshuo clapped his hands heavily and angrily said, "This guy is truly cunning. Since we arrived here, we haven't found any clues at all. We haven't found anything useful. We have let down the Immortal Gate."

Saying that, Bai Genshuo bowed apologetically towards the direction of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, almost bursting into tears.

Xu You glanced at Bai Genshuo, who was acting, and smiled lightly in his heart. His cleverness would never disappoint him.

Fang Yuan sighed deeply and said, "This matter has indeed been difficult for the two young heroes."

"Come, let's not talk about these troublesome matters for now. I feel a deep connection with Director Fang. Although you are much older than me, I dare to have a drink with Director Fang." Bai Genshuo somehow took out a jug of wine and started drinking with Fang Yuan on the corridor.

Naturally, Fang Yuan did not object and accompanied him.

For Bai Genshuo, who was good at socializing, the atmosphere naturally did not cool down. After drinking for half an hour, Fang Yuan bid farewell and left, leaving a message that if they needed any help, they could just ask.

Throughout the process, Xu You, except for a few words at the beginning, remained calm and closed his eyes to nurture his spirit, displaying the demeanor of an arrogant disciple of the Immortal Gate.

"These official cultivators are boring. We Immortal Gate disciples are much more free-spirited." Bai Genshuo, who didn't know where he found a bag of melon seeds, cracked them open and said, "You don't seem to trust Director Fang very much."

Xu You narrowed his eyes and said, "With so many murder cases happening, it's hard to believe that the Ji Yao Bureau has no clue. Even if they are incompetent, it shouldn't be to this extent."

Furthermore, we've only been here for a day and he's already come looking for us. Who knows what other intentions he might have.

And the most important thing is that according to the procedure, they can't handle this matter. At the very least, the Western River County's Ji Yao headquarters should have a say in it.

But besides us coming, it seems like there isn't anyone else. Although it can be said that the Ji Yao Department believes in our abilities, I suspect that Fang Yuan didn't even report this matter to the Western River County, but only reported it to our sect.

If you ask me, I don't believe there won't be any problems. But let's not worry about his intentions, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble."

"That makes sense." Bai Genshuo agreed and asked, "What's the plan next?"

"Wait."

"Oh, alright. You take your time, I'll go downstairs and take a look around." Bai Genshuo happily went downstairs.

On a small hill about ten miles outside the western city of Luo Feng City, Fang Yuan stood with his hands tied under a big tree, facing a man in his thirties.

The man had a sinister appearance, with pitch-black eyes without any whites, dressed in black clothes. His cultivation was powerful and he seemed to be at the Late Stage of the fourth realm.

"Brother Xue, using the Qi Discernment technique you taught me, I did indeed sense the presence of a Joyous Union Sect disciple at the Fragrant Drifting Garden. I also inquired and found out that a new courtesan arrived two days ago." Fang Yuan handed a drawing paper to the man.

The drawing clearly depicted Luo Qiaoqiao's appearance, although it was only about sixty to seventy percent similar, the charm was evident.

Xue Beishang took the drawing paper, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and finally said, "It's her, proceed according to the plan, we'll make our move tomorrow night."

"Alright." Fang Yuan nodded.

"Hehehehe." Xue Beishang laughed wildly and turned into a black streak of light shooting off into the distance.

Fang Yuan watched him leave from where he stood, and after a while, another person came from a different direction on a flying device.

The newcomer was a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in white, with a pale and ethereal complexion, giving off a sense of gloominess.

He had a slender figure and wore loose robes, looking like someone whose body had been drained by indulgence in alcohol and pleasure.

Fang Yuan turned to look at the young man and said, "Indeed, two people from the Kunlun Immortal Sect have arrived, both at the Mid Stage of the third realm. They are currently in the Fragrant Drifting Garden."

"Truly worthy of Brother Fang!" Zhou Changkun's pale face showed excitement as he bowed to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan waved his hand slightly, "It's also for my own sake. After we finish this, we'll stop. I don't think anyone will be able to find out about the two of us."

"That's natural." Zhou Changkun nodded in agreement.

Both Fang Yuan and Zhou Changkun had legitimate identities. Zhou Changkun was the legitimate son of a distant branch of the imperial family in Luo Feng City, and he was the young master of the mansion that Xu You and Bai Genshuo tracked down that night.

As for Fang Yuan, he had been working for the Ji Yao Department for over twenty years, with a clean background that wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Both of them were disciples of the Connected Tranquility Valley now, following the path of the Connected Tranquility Valley.

Apart from the core disciples who needed to stay at the main base, the Connected Tranquility Valley's disciples were basically scattered all over the place like scattered flowers.

Fang Yuan and Zhou Changkun were both accepted into the Connected Tranquility Valley by chance.

In fact, many cultivators or independent cultivators voluntarily joined this cult. These people had one thing in common, they had the ability to cultivate, but their talent for cultivation was average or even poor.

If they were to follow the righteous path, there would be no hope for them to achieve the Great Dao. But once they embarked on the path of cultivation, they couldn't simply stop as desires would drive them to destroy their Dao heart.
