Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 458 The Little Beggar's Counterattack and Ascension 57

"Friend Xuan, how are you?"

"Senior Chu! Why are you the one welcoming the guests in person?"

"Knowing that you were coming, I naturally had to come and greet you in person. It's been a while since we last met. If it weren't for this sect competition, we might not have been able to meet again so soon."

"It is an honor for us to be so kind to you, Senior Chu."

"Alright, alright, don't just stand here, let's go in quickly. Little friend Gu is here too!"

Although Chu Qingyi's question was a question, his tone was affirmative.

He already knew who the elder leading the Cangyue Sect would be this time, and he also knew that the legendary figure on the continent, Gu Qian, would also be coming, but would not participate in the competition.

He thought it was normal that Gu Qian did not participate in the competition. After all, although Gu Qian was young, her cultivation was not to be underestimated. Even those who were hundreds of years older than her might not be able to beat her.

"Senior Chu, I'm here! What's the matter? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you thinking about me?" Gu Qian walked to the front from behind the crowd.

The moment he saw Gu Qian, Chu Qingyi's pupils shrank slightly.

The breath has become stronger again!

Is this Mr. Gu really the man of destiny?

It's only been a few years, but she already gives me a different feeling.

"You kid, you still speak so directly!" Chu Qingyi laughed out loud, but then his eyes darkened.

"There is something I want you to help me with."

Seeing him like this, Gu Qian was worried but didn't show it on her face.

She pretended to be relaxed and asked, "What's the matter? Senior, there's nothing you can do about it?"

"I can't help it. I just happened to hear that you guys were coming over, so I thought of you. How about coming with me to the sect to chat?"

"Okay, since you invited me, I will naturally accept it. What about the people from my sect?"

"Don't worry, my disciples will make proper arrangements and won't let them down."

"That's good." Gu Qian nodded and looked at Xuan Lanyue, "You take them there. I'll go with Senior Chu to take a look."

"You..." Xuan Lanyue looked hesitant. He didn't want to miss anything related to Gu Qian.

But the sect is also his responsibility, and the sect leader has repeatedly instructed him to take good care of it.

"Go ahead. You're the only one familiar with this. We'll come back to you in a bit."

"Okay, then come back soon."

Gu Qian nodded, turned around and followed Chu Qingyi.

Enter the backyard and stop at the door of a room.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"How brave is Gu Xiaoyou?"

"It's OK. Normal things don't scare me."

"That's good. Little friend Gu, please prepare yourself mentally before you go in. The person imprisoned in here is a disciple of the head of Zhuqing Sect. He went out on business a month ago, and when he came back, he inexplicably became..."

Chu Qingyi had a conflicted look on his face, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

"It's okay, let's go in and take a look."

Chu Qingyi opened the door and a foul smell hit him in the face.

Gu Qian frowned slightly but did not back down.

The light in the room was dim, and a person could be vaguely seen curled up in the corner.

"Ah..." The man howled in pain when he noticed someone coming in.

Gu Qian walked closer to take a closer look, only to see that the disciple from Zhuqing Sect had red eyes, his skin was a strange blue-gray color, and his body twitched from time to time.

"He looks like... he's been bewitched." Gu Qian quickly determined the situation.

Chu Qingyi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Little friend Gu knows! Is there a solution?"

Gu Qian took out a few silver needles from the storage bag and inserted them into the disciple's acupuncture points.

As the silver needle entered his body, the disciple gradually calmed down.

"This method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. To completely eliminate the problem, we need to find the person who cast the spell or know what evil spell the person has cast?" said Gu Qian.

Chu Qingyi looked solemn: "I sent people to investigate for many days, but found nothing. He happened to be out alone that day, and I couldn't find any other related things or people."

Gu Qian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "My great-grandfather has learned a method of retrospection, and perhaps I can find some clues about what he experienced that day."

"Then..." Chu Qingyi's eyes lit up and he looked at Yuanyuan and Chiyan behind Gu Qian with a glowing look.

"Could you please help me find some clues, seniors? This is not just for my disciple, but the recent unrest around Xianri City is very likely related to this."

"You don't need to worry about what you need. As long as you are willing to help, I will owe you another favor. How about that?"

Gu Qian nodded, gave Yuanyuan a look, and told her to check it out quickly.

"Of course I can help you with this little favor. It doesn't require anything. But, is there something wrong in Xianri City?"

Chu Qingyi sighed deeply, "Yes! Some time ago, people disappeared in the villages around Xianri City. At first we thought it was just a coincidence, but later we found a special spiritual power fluctuation left at the scene."

"The spiritual power fluctuations are exactly the same as those of this disciple, so the perpetrators must be the same group of people."

"The people around here are in a panic. As the largest sect nearby, our Zhuqing Sect cannot just sit back and watch."

Gu Qian's expression turned serious after hearing this. "It seems that things are far more complicated than I imagined."

At this moment, Yuanyuan's voice came: "The aura on his body is consistent with a hidden underground passage a hundred miles away, and..."

Everyone looked at Yuanyuan, who continued, "It seems that he knows the person who hurt him."

Chu Qingyi was shocked, "Know him?! Impossible..."

"Because he had no defenses at all before he became like this. This is almost impossible for the monks, unless they know him and trust him."

"No matter what, we must stop them. Now that we know about the underground passage, let's find their traces first."

"Yes, what Gu Xiaoyou said is right." Chu Qingyi calmed down, "I will send someone to solve this matter immediately. Thank you for your help. I will repay you when I have the chance."

Yuanyuan seemed to be hesitant to speak. Gu Qian saw it but did not say anything immediately. Instead, she took him out.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Gu Qian said to Yuanyuan in his heart.

"Okay. Then we'll go back first. Seniors, please be careful."

After the two of them came out, Yuanyuan told them what he had discovered.

"Master, what I didn't say is that when I was investigating just now, I seemed to have discovered the shadow of the demon cultivator, the great guardian..."

"Demon Cultivator, Great Protector? Are you saying this matter is related to the Demon Cultivator again? That Lian Mingyu?"

"It's hard to say, but their original powers are very similar. Most of the demon cultivators have been eliminated by us before, and the ones now are probably just the ones that slipped through the net."

"There is nothing unspeakable about this matter. You didn't say it just now, there must be a reason."

"Well, I just checked and found that Xuan Lanyue's demon heart is very similar to their original power. The two are from the same root. I was worried that Xuan Lanyue would be involved in this matter, so I didn't say it directly."

Gu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "If it is true as you said, it must be extraordinary. It is very likely that the thing came from above, just like the Demon Heart."

"So, I can't just sit there and watch. I have to get involved..."

"Master, I can find them using tracking techniques."

"Go back first and inform Xuan Lanyue."

The two returned to the place arranged by Zhuqing Sect for Cangyue Sect, found Xuan Lanyue, and told him what had happened.
