CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 278: FUJI’S NEW DISCOVERY_3

After Xiaoxuan and the others discovered that these Stone Men were related to the Innate Tao Embryo, they made a tiny attempt.

They tried to see if they could use their Stone Man network on it, which was also a bit of verification for some ideas.

The Big Heads drew a "stone net" in a large city east of Cyan Thorn.

And the nodes of this net are Fuji.

Using the Big Heads as nodes, Fuji connected the Stone Man network to them with Stone Pills.

This method is quite strange, currently, only Fuji can do it, while others feel nothing with the Stone Pill.

...

Cyan Cloud City.

Fuji sat on the rooftop, watching the streets of the city.

Now, thanks to cultivating the Dharma Method from Medicine King Valley, she was no longer as afraid of the light as before, and her skin color could also be made to appear normal.

Additionally, with the Qinghe Association approaching, there were more cultivators in Cyan Thorn than usual, and people moving high up on the walls were seen every day.

So no one paid attention to Fuji’s behavior.

Fuji, bored and drowsy, suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards the east of the city.

It had nothing to do with her connection with the Stone Pill, but Fuji’s strange talent seemed to have discovered something not right.

In the back residence of the local noble family, Li Family, in Cyan Cloud City.

Patriarch Li was hosting guests, among whom only one was an elder, while the others were young.

"Having Elder He here is a fortune for my Li Family, let me toast to you."

"As a traveler, I don’t drink, but I appreciate the kind offer from the Liu Clan."

This cultivator, referred to as Elder Liu, was naturally also a Dark Agent of the Hundred Demons Sect. The reason for his presence was to escort Xiao Teng, their sect’s Heavenly Destiny Person, and provide a layer of cover for his identity.

Xiao Teng sat at the lower seat, his naturally bald head covered by a wig now, appearing as a dashing young gentleman.

Those Dark Helms were all consumables; once mixed in, it wouldn’t be easy to extricate himself, unlike the convenience of being disguised as a Loose Cultivator.

"Young Master, the daughter of this Li Family looks at you with deep affection, why don’t we trick her to join us?" A voice transmitted into Xiao Teng’s ear without anyone moving their mouths around him.

"Do not cause trouble." Xiao Teng also rebuked using a Secret Technique.

Their communications were very secretive, even the Li Clan elders with slightly higher cultivation did not notice.

Whether Xiao Teng, this ’Heavenly Destiny Person’ of the Hundred Demons Sect, has a firm fate and ability to gather people remains to be seen, but his father, the Grand Elder, does have such ability.

As someone groomed by his father since childhood, he was never short of attendants, but none of them could be called true close friends; they were all merely death warriors.

The one and only person who becomes immortal between heaven and earth.

This was what Xiao Teng had heard growing up.

As to who this immortal one is, whether it was him, his father Elder Yilong, or the never-seen Demon Sect Leader, everyone had their own opinion.

That mysterious Sect Leader is debatable, but others certainly think it’s themselves.

Xiao Teng sat quietly, listening to the pleasantries exchanged between Elder Liu and Patriarch Li as well as the clan elder, feeling somewhat annoyed.

His family was also considered a big family, and his father Yilong was quite the fertile figure, having seen this art of household governance openly and secretly countless times.

If there’s something to be said, say it directly, what’s with all the roundabout ways?

Just suddenly, he sensed that someone seemed to be observing him, Xiao Teng turned to look but saw nothing.

Only a few maids were peeking from the veranda outside, seeing Xiao Teng looking over, they giggled softly and then nudged each other away.

Feeling a bit uneasy, he used a Magical Artifact to scan the area again.

Nothing unusual.

In the sky.

Shi Xiu, grabbing Fuji, sighed, "You must be from the Sword Sect, right? This little girl is interesting, having discovered a big fish, how did she do it."

When he went to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion before, he hadn’t met Fuji, only heard of her legend. Just now, as he was passing by, he happened to see this little lass trying to sneak into this residence’s backyard, so he followed along. And when Fuji was about to be discovered, he protected her.

Unexpectedly, it seemed like they caught a big fish.

Although he didn’t know the names of the people inside the house, they were certainly not ordinary Dark Helms.

Shi Xiu had a fragment of the Innate Tao Embryo stuck in his mind, whose effects were different from Zhang Ze’s Innate Tao Pill.

It couldn’t divide Yin and Yang and return to chaos like Zhang Ze’s.

But it could discern Qi and recognize spirits, capturing even the most subtle changes in aura.

When the boy used the Magical Artifact in the house earlier, that fleeting aura was something Shi Xiu was very familiar with; he seemed to have felt it before on a certain elder of the Hundred Demons Sect.

"Who are you?" Fuji asked.

Just as Shi Xiu was about to embark on a dramatic self-introduction, a small hand suddenly extended from the void and punched him, then snatched Fuji away.

Xiaoxue, returning from Medicine King Valley, emerged from the void, "This is my apprentice, do not touch her."

Seeing it was Xiaoxue, Fuji joyously exclaimed, "Senior Sister, Master, hello!"

Shi Xiu, "?"

As soon as the two Harmonious Sect beings met, a territory of "no people allowed" immediately formed around them.

And Shi Xiu was that outsider.

He was isolated.

"Fuji, what did you discover?" Xiaoxue asked.

Xiaoxue had never fought with the Hundred Demons Sect elders, nor did she use radar to sense the aura of the Innate Tao Embryo in Li Family’s residence, having observed for quite a while and found nothing out of the ordinary here.

Fuji contemplated and carefully phrased her response.

"Well, inside the house, there’s someone who has eaten shit! He’s a bad person."

Xiaoxue, "Eh?"
