Reencounter with Zhou Xue

Upon entering the town, Fang Wang and Zhou Xingshi didn't immediately inquire about Fang Hanyu's whereabouts; instead, they decided to explore first. ☺🐯 ➅9ร𝐇𝕌𝕩.COM 💲🐉

He had previously asked Zhou Xingshi how to identify demonic cultivators, and Zhou Xingshi's answer was not to judge whether someone was a demonic cultivator based on their appearance or aura, but rather on their environment and actions.

The cultivators in this town are a mixed bag, and it's not yet clear what side the town is on.

As they traveled, Fang Wang heard the names of many sects and families along the way. This place seemed to be a market where independent cultivators gathered, with shops everywhere trading cultivation resources, and no one patrolling.

"You stay here first, I'll go investigate the clues alone," Zhou Xingshi transmitted to Fang Wang.

Fang Wang replied using telepathy, "How can that be? You came here to help me, how can I do nothing?"

"Although I come from a family of cultivators, I have been traveling the world since I was ten years old and have already ventured into the cultivation world. I am confident that I can find clues about Fang Hanyu. You are stronger than me. If we encounter danger, we will need your help sooner or later. There are so many cultivators in this town. I'm afraid something big is about to happen. It would be better if we split up and act separately," Zhou Xingshi explained telepathically.

Fang Wang thought about it and agreed. He knew that his understanding of the cultivation world was indeed not as good as Zhou Xingshi's.

The two then found an inn, booked a room, and Fang Wang went upstairs, while Zhou Xingshi left the inn to continue his investigation.

Upon entering the guest room, Fang Wang closed the door, sat on the bed, and began his cultivation.

Although he only had the cultivation of the third level of the Spirit Shaping Realm, he was confident that he could sweep through the Spirit Shaping Realm. After all, he had mastered so many perfected techniques and the Heavenly Palace Halberd, which was suspected to be a Heavenly Yuan Treasure Spirit.

Even though he was full of confidence, he didn't want to waste time, since even the most powerful internal energy needs time to accumulate.

Sunset and moonrise.

As night fell, the town became quiet. Fang Wang occasionally sensed a presence passing by the window, indicating that the night was not going to be peaceful.

He's too lazy to go out and see anything unless someone bothers him.

One night passed.

As the sun rose, the town came alive again, and the streets were bustling with noise. Fang Wang could hear some of the sounds.

"The disciples of Qingchan Valley died on the bridge to the east."

"Who did this? Could it be Huang Yushan?"

"These two major sects have been very active lately, as if they're searching for something."

"It is said that the ruins of the cave dwelling of a great cultivator of the Jihao Sect have been discovered in the demon realm, 500 miles to the west."

"That person died a horrible death; their eyes were gouged out."

Fang Wang slowly opened his eyes inside the room. It seemed that the news had spread, making it even more troublesome to find Fang Hanyu.

This Heavenly Divine Body True Skill needs to be put on hold; it cannot be forced.

Fang Wang pondered this in his mind and decided to leave once he found Fang Hanyu.

Zhou Xingshi didn't return all night; could he have run into trouble?

Fang Wang's eyes flickered. He remained wary of Zhou Xingshi, worried that Guang Qiuxian and Yang Yuanzi might try to scheme against him. But then he thought, he was only at the Spirit Shaping Realm. If Guang Qiuxian and Yang Yuanzi really wanted to seize his treasure spirit, why would they go to such lengths?

He suppressed his suspicions and waited. If Zhou Xingshi had not returned by noon, he would have to act alone.

Fortunately, things weren't as bad as he thought. An hour later, Zhou Xingshi returned.

After entering the house, Zhou Xingshi closed all the doors and windows.

"The situation is not good. Our disciple may have really obtained the inheritance. Qingchan Valley and Huangyu Mountain are both searching for the whereabouts of the Taiyuan Sect disciple." Zhou Xingshi sat in front of Fang Wang and continued to communicate using telepathy.

Fang Wang also used telepathy to ask, "Do you have any information about Fang Hanyu?"

"Four months ago, Fang Hanyu did appear in this town, but he was pursued by Qingchan Valley and fled into the deep mountains. This was witnessed by many merchants who lived in the town..."

Zhou Xingshi hesitated for a moment, then continued to transmit his voice: "They have been chased by Qingchan Valley for four months and still have not returned to their sect."

He is probably...

He didn't finish his sentence, but Fang Wang understood.

The odds are against them!

Fang Wang frowned. He and Fang Hanyu were only close when they were young, but no matter what, they both had the surname Fang, and he had promised Zhou Xue that he would take good care of these clansmen.

"By the way, Zhou Xue is from your clan, right? Is she trustworthy?" Zhou Xingshi suddenly asked telepathically.

Fang Wang raised an eyebrow and asked telepathically, "Why do you ask that? Have you seen her?"

"That's right, she was the one who killed the Qingchan Valley disciple last night. She was ruthless, using Qingchan Valley's methods, and gouged out that person's eyes..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xingshi couldn't help but shudder, his eyes filled with fear.

Upon hearing this, Fang Wang was pleasantly surprised. With Zhou Xue here, the chances of finding Fang Hanyu were much greater.

He replied telepathically, "She's trustworthy. We've been through life and death together. You've seen her; didn't she notice you?"

He was suspicious. Could Zhou Xingshi's experience in the cultivation world be as rich as Zhou Xue's?

Zhou Xingshi shook his head and was about to reply telepathically when the door suddenly opened, startling the two of them to their feet. They stared intently as a woman in red, wearing a bamboo hat, walked in. She looked up and gave Fang Wang and the other man a disdainful smile.

If it's not Zhou Xue, then who is it?

"you……"

Zhou Xingshi was shocked and instinctively stepped in front of Fang Wang.

Zhou Xue laughed and said, "I was wondering why there were Taiyuan Sect disciples investigating Fang Hanyu's whereabouts. Although that kid has good talent, he started late and needs time to mature. Taiyuan Sect shouldn't care about him. So it turns out you're the one behind this. How did you two end up together?"

Several months had passed, and Zhou Xue's beauty had only grown stronger, yet Fang Wang still couldn't fathom her cultivation level.

No, I must learn her method of concealing her cultivation level!

Fang Wang said helplessly, "Could you close the door before you talk?"

Zhou Xue raised her hand and closed the door behind her from a distance. She walked to the table and sat down, saying irritably, "Everyone in the inn has gone out to watch the excitement. I told you to be careful and to use telepathy to communicate, but you dared to come here. You are really reckless. The Jihao Sect's legacy has spread. Even if you have reached the Spirit Shaping Realm, it is still very dangerous."

Her gaze was intense as she looked at Fang Wang, making him feel uneasy.

Fang Wang coughed lightly and said, "It's because Fang Hanyu has disappeared that I had to come. You entrusted me to take care of them."

"You were supposed to be taken care of within the sect, so why did you run off? You've only been in the Taiyuan Sect for less than a year, and you're already at the third level of the Spirit Shaping Realm. You should focus on your cultivation. Maybe you can reach the Spirit Pill Realm in ten years. Then you can travel the cultivation world freely." Zhou Xue glared at Fang Wang and scolded him, her expression full of disappointment.

Zhou Xingshi walked to the side. He was curious about why Zhou Xue and Fang Wang were so close, but what shocked him even more was that Fang Wang had actually reached the third level of the Spirit Shaping Realm.

The two of them were both Spirit Shaping on the same day, but he hadn't even broken through to the second level of the Spirit Shaping Realm yet...

Is this the difference between the Mysterious Origin Treasure Spirit and the Heavenly Origin Treasure Spirit?

Fang Wang wasn't angry when Zhou Xue scolded him; instead, he felt a warmth in his heart.

In this unfamiliar land, with the fate of his people unknown, he was caught in a dilemma when Zhou Xue's appearance brought him hope.

This is a reborn immortal; following her will certainly increase our chances of survival.

"By the way, what rank are you a spirit treasure? Have you reached the Earthly Elemental Spirit level?" Zhou Xue asked.

The natal spirit is special; as long as the cultivator does not reveal it, it is difficult for outsiders to see it. It is said that the natal spirit is hidden in the soul, and even divine sense cannot see it from the outside.

Fang Wang nodded. Before the Heavenly Palace made its move, his sword-shaped treasure spirit could indeed reach the level of an Earthly Origin Treasure Spirit. It seems that Zhou Xue had a sharp eye and recognized it at a glance.

Zhou Xingshi roared inwardly, "It's not just an Earthly Yuan Treasure Spirit, it's a Heavenly Yuan Treasure Spirit!"

It is precisely because Fang Wang's natal spirit is the Heavenly Origin Spirit that he finds himself in his current awkward situation, being pressured by the three and wavering between them.

"Let's talk about Fang Hanyu. Aren't you going to be away for several years? After we find Fang Hanyu, I'll bring him back, and you can continue your adventures."

Fang Wang changed the subject, saying that the longer they delayed, the greater the chance that Fang Hanyu would encounter danger.

Zhou Xue suppressed her smile and said calmly, "He's not dead yet. As for how I know, I can't tell you for now. I'll go save him. You all go back to the righteous territory and find a place to wait for me."

Fang Wang frowned and said, "Zhou Xue, I can help you. In any case, you and I embarked on the path of cultivation at the same time, so our strengths are unlikely to be too different."

With Zhou Xingshi standing nearby, he couldn't say anything too explicit.

Zhou Xue couldn't help but recall the night of the massacre. That night, she was indeed careless. If Fang Wang hadn't intervened, she probably would have had to abandon the Fang family and escape alone. Then, just like in her previous life, she would have had to carry the blood feud into the world of cultivation. How could she be as carefree as she is now?

"We may encounter experts at the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm during this operation. You should be mentally prepared," Zhou Xue said solemnly.

Zhou Xingshi's eyelids twitched, and he clenched his fists.

Fang Wang asked in surprise, "There's definitely no way a Spirit Core Realm expert will appear?"

Zhou Xue glanced at him and said, "According to my investigation, it's at least 90%."

Fang Wang immediately understood. Zhou Xue from his previous life must have been involved in this matter or known about it, which is why she dared to be so certain. The remaining 10% was a variable, and nothing in this world is certain.

"Then let's go!" Fang Wang said in a deep voice.

The ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm?

It's unclear whether it can withstand the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Spirit, the Great Perfection Profound Yang Scripture, the Great Perfection Amazing Divine Sword Technique, and the Great Perfection Heavenly Lightning Summoning Technique...

Fang Wang has always harbored a fighting spirit to pursue the strongest, so he really wants to know how strong he is when he goes all out right now.

If the opponent is at the Spirit Core Realm, it's best for him to run away. But if it's just at the Spirit Shaping Realm, then I'm sorry, my sword might not be at a disadvantage either!

"No rush, wait five more days. You can cultivate here first, I have things to do."

After saying that, Zhou Xue got up and prepared to leave the house.

"Wait, could you..." Fang Wang hurriedly said, but Zhou Xue left without turning her head.

She came quickly and left quickly.

Fang Wang sighed; it seemed she had guessed what he wanted to say.

Zhou Xingshi closed the door and asked cautiously, "Is she really cultivating immortality at the same time as you? Why didn't we notice her approaching before?"

Fang Wang thought to himself, "How could you possibly imagine the Immortal Venerable's methods?" He replied dismissively, "How would I know? Go ask her."

Zhou Xingshi immediately shook his head when he thought of Zhou Xue's methods last night.

and many more!

This week, Xue looks like a demonic cultivator!

That Fang Wang...

Upon thinking of this, Zhou Xingshi felt a chill run down his spine and dared not even look at Fang Wang.
