This concerns whether he can smoothly continue his cultivation, and Chen Yun naturally attaches great importance to it.
Just wanting to kill Lin Feiyun has an important problem, that is, needing to know where the other party is hiding.
After a little thinking, Chen Yun immediately knew what to do.
He applied the Jia Ma talisman and headed straight for Xigou City.
He arrived at Wu's residence.
Thud-thud, knocking on the door.
A voice from inside said, "Who is it? So early?"
Chen Yun announced his name and family: "I am Chen Yun from the Chuan Dao Temple. I have a history with Mr. Wu. I came specially to visit today."
The door was immediately opened from inside as soon as he finished speaking.
The guard, in his forties, smiled broadly and said, "Ah, it's Master Chen. Please come in. I'll go call the master right away."
Subsequently, Chen Yun was invited into the main hall.
The maids brought tea, water, and snacks.
After about three or four minutes, the sound of footsteps was heard outside.
Suddenly, before he saw anyone, Wu Xunsheng's cheerful laughter could be heard outside, "Master Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. What made you come visit me today?"
In his speech, Wu Xunsheng appeared at the door.
Chen Yun stood up, made a bow, and smiled, "Sir, I came today to inquire about something. It was quite bold of me to disturb you so early in the morning."
Wu Xunsheng eagerly wanted to establish a relationship with Chen Yun. While inviting him to sit down, he asked, "Tell me if there is anything you need."
He sat down as well.
Chen Yun took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder if Sir Wu knows someone named Liu Gui Bai?"
"Liu Xiuza?" Wu Xunsheng carefully remembered and said, "Of course, I know him. There are rumors that this person used to participate in the Imperial examinations in Tang Dynasty but failed, and later came to our Xigou City and spent a lot of money to build relationships with officials, he is a generous person. It has been several months since I last saw him, what do you need to see him for?"
"Xiuza" and "Jinshi" in Tang Dynasty are different from those in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there were "Xiuza exams" and "Jinshi exams." Any candidate who participated in these two types of exams was called a "Xiuza" or "Jinshi," not necessarily indicating that they had passed the examination with distinction.
Chen Yun blinked and said, "I really have something to do with Liu Xiuza. Does Sir Wu know where he lives?"
"Where does he live?" Wu Xunsheng hesitated for a moment, "I can't remember exactly. When you sold me the soap before, he came to my shop to buy some. It seems like he didn't have enough money at the time, so I had one of my assistants go with him to fetch the money. If I get the assistant, we can ask him and find out."
Chen Yun quickly said, "Thank you, Sir Wu. It's troublesome of you."
"Not a problem."
Sir Wu called for a servant to summon the assistant from the shop.
After waiting for about half an hour, a small page boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old and with a clear brow and beautiful eyes, walked in from outside.
Sir Wu asked directly, "Zhang Xu, do you remember when Liu Xiuza came to our shop to buy some soap about half a year ago?"
The page boy nodded and said, "Master, I remember. What's wrong?"
Sir Wu asked again, "You went with him to fetch money. Do you know where Liu Xiuza's home is?"
The page boy let out a cry, "Master, you see, I have a particularly clear memory of where Liu Xiuza lives. His house is located about twenty miles west of Xigou City. There are no other houses around it, just desolate mountains and wilds. Most people wouldn't dare to live there."
Chen Yun asked for more details about the location.
Although the page boy did not know him, he recognized Chen Yun as a "big man" sitting next to Mr. Wu. Therefore, he told everything he knew without any hesitation. He poured out all the information in a hurry.
Chen Yun probably had an idea in mind, so he thanked Mr. Wu and the page boy before standing up to take his leave.
...
Dusk.
Twenty miles west of Xigou City in the wilderness.
Lin Feiyun walked slowly on the official road.
Although her pace was slow, she didn't look hurried or impatient. However, her eyebrows remained knitted together, as if she had some concerns on her mind.
"Master has been looking for that scoundrel for several months now, but there hasn't been any news at all?"
Lin Feiyun felt strange about it. She even asked the higher-ups in the temple, but they didn't know where Zhang Qing had gone either.
At the time, she had a feeling of impending doom. She pondered if her master had suffered some misfortune.
However, Lin Feiyun also felt that it was unlikely.
After all, she knew that her teacher was someone who had a sense of proportion and wouldn't really cause trouble for Chen Yun.
Logically speaking, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for Chen Yun, Zhang Liquan wouldn't get personally involved.
Another point is that her master, Zhang Qing, is an exorcist immortal with the power comparable to the early stage of an upper-grade wizard. Chen Yun is only an eight-rank wizard. How could he cause any trouble for Zhang Qing?
She still remembered her first meeting with Chen Yun.
Moreover, she had never seen Chen Yun return to the end of the South Mountain.
Of course, Lin Feiyun did not believe that Chen Yun could pose any threat to her master.
"Since Liu Gui Bai died, the burden of cultivating relationships with the powerful has fallen on my shoulders. I have to deal with those lecherous men every day, which is very annoying."
Just thinking about being taken advantage of by mortals, Lin Feiyun's eyes again flashed with a hint of anger, "It's all that damned Chen Yun's fault. If he hadn't killed Liu Gui Bai, would I have to personally show my face and cultivate relationships with the powerful?"
I'm not sure if I'm just too angry with Chen Yun.
As she walked on the official road, she always felt that the person who was sitting cross-legged on a stone, with a deep yellow wood sword placed on his knees, seemed to be very similar to Chen Yun.
"It must be that I hate that scoundrel too much, so I see everyone as him."
Lin Feiyun first thought she had mistaken the person.
However, when she got closer, she suddenly realized that the young immortal sitting cross-legged on the stone was indeed Chen Yun!
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Yun's hands were resting on the deep yellow wood sword, and he was closing his eyes to cultivate. It was as if he was waiting for something. The golden cloak seemed to be wrapped around him as the sun rays shone on him.
At that moment when she was sure the person was Chen Yun, Lin Feiyun's heart pounded fiercely.
The foreboding feeling she had beforehand seemed to have been confirmed at that moment.
"Could Zhang Liquan really have descended personally to settle the affairs with my master?"
Thinking of this, Lin Feiyun felt a jolt in her heart and an instinctive fear for the seated Chen Yun.
Alternatively, she had an extreme fear for Chen Yun's deep background, afraid that she might again cause conflict with him, and that the higher-ups in the Chuan Dao Temple would personally come after her.
Therefore, Lin Feiyun pretended not to see Chen Yun and continued to walk at a leisurely pace.
She believed that by taking on a new body, Chen Yun should not recognize her.
Who would have thought that when Lin Feiyun was just walking near Chen Yun.
Chen Yun suddenly slowly opened his eyes and said coldly, "Lin Feiyun, let's settle our old scores!"
Lin Feiyun had already guessed that her master might have suffered some misfortune, and she was not about to admit her identity now.
She pretended to look confused and said, "Master, what are you saying? We seem to be strangers to each other. You must be mistaken."
Chen Yun chuckled and said, "Lin Feiyun, let's be straightforward. Your brother Liu Gui Bai was killed by my own hands."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feiyun still acted as if she were confused on her face, but her pupils contracted slightly.
Chen Yun slowly stood up, holding his blood gold chopping sword, "Secondly, your master Zhang Qing, he also caused me trouble and was sentenced by the underworld's Cao Si. Now he's stuffed in some sea cave."
Lin Feiyun's fist in her sleeve tightened secretly, but she still pretended as if she knew nothing, "Master, what are you talking about? I really don't know anyone named Liu Gui Bai or Zhang Qing."
Chen Yun calmly looked at her, "Oh, is that so? Do you recognize this move?"
Lin Feiyun was about to speak.
Suddenly!
Time seemed to flow faster.
The sky soon turned dark and murky.
It's not pitch black, but an evening with stars.
The stars shimmered in the sky.
Shooting stars pierced the night sky.
A sky full of stars, covering the blue sky in an instant.
It is magnificent and incredibly grand!
Lin Feiyun was greatly shocked in her heart. She never expected that in just a few months, Chen Yun had progressed from a mere eight-rank wizard to the realm where he could use the "River of Stars Vortex" technique!
It was known that even her brother Liu Gui Bai, who had just entered the seventh-rank wizard, still couldn't completely control the "River of Stars Vortex".
And now, Chen Yun had managed to use it without a sound?
Lin Feiyun knew that Chen Yun's current strength was probably not much weaker than hers.
However, she still didn't reveal any weaknesses, pretending to be panic-stricken and asking, "Oh, how did it get dark?"
Lin Feiyun was gambling that Chen Yun was bluffing and not actually realizing her true identity.
But Chen Yun paid no attention, "Since you still want to pretend, then die!"
As soon as the words fell, countless stars in the sky and star rivers began to spin violently.
The Milky Way seemed to break open, turning into a massive whirlpool of stars that kept pressing down!
In that moment, the whirlpool of stars had completely pressed down over Lin Feiyun's head, giving her a sense that the heavens were lower than the earth.
This little guy has actually recognized me!
If she doesn't take some action, she'll definitely die here today!
Lin Feiyun no longer cared about hiding and shouted softly, "Break!"
With her voice ringing out, a flash of golden light suddenly occurred.
Following that, the whirlpool of stars vanished.
The sunset remains the same, the official road still filled with twilight.
Only Chen Yun gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.
Lin Feiyun squinted her eyes and said, "You brat, do you really want to kill me? Did you hire someone to help? Bring out your hired help!"
Chen Yun looked at her calmly, speaking with an honest expression, "I haven't called anyone to help. I came here alone today, just to take your life!"
Lin Feiyun wasn't too sure, releasing her spiritual awareness to search the surroundings while delaying time with her mouth, "Haha, you dare to come here alone? Two or three months ago, you were just an eight-rank wizard. Even if your cultivation has made great progress in these two or three months, do you think you can be my opponent at the mid-stage of seventh-rank wizard?"
Chen Yun smiled for the first time, "Oh, really? Our sect has a technique called Observing Qi, which can detect another person's cultivation level. I believe your Yellow Flag Sect must have a similar technique as well. Why don't you use it to check my cultivation level and see how I am now."
Lin Feiyun didn't expect Chen Yun to actually let her check his cultivation level.
Although there was some confusion in her heart, she still used her spiritual awareness to investigate.
Not looking was better.
As soon as she looked, Lin Feiyun was scared stiff!
She never expected that Chen Yun had already approached Liu Gui Bai's level.
That is to say, he was about to reach the level of a lower-grade wizard!
What kind of cultivation method did this little thief use?
How could his cultivation grow so dramatically in just a few months?
While Lin Feiyun was secretly startled, for the first time she felt that Chen Yun posed a real threat to her life, and she became cautious.
Chen Yun simply held his divine sword and didn't make any offensive moves. He said coldly, "Show me your artifact. I hope you can give your all in today's battle. Otherwise…you will die here!"
Lin Feiyun asked some puzzles, "Just now, you could have secretly attacked me. Why did you reveal your identity and let me know your cultivation level, and even gave me time to prepare my artifact against you?"
Chen Yun looked calm and said, "I want to defeat the strongest you and prove that your strength is not as great as mine. Additionally, I didn't hire any help, so if you can kill me today, no one will come to avenge me. So you can rest assured and fight with all your might. Telling you all this is because I don't want you to have any burdens and can fully engage in battle with me."
"No assistants?" Lin Feiyun was first taken aback, then burst into a scornful "hahaha" laughter.
She slowly drew out a embroidered silk scarf from her sleeve, "I really don't know what kind of courage you have to come and challenge me in a duel today. I will definitely kill you today!"
Chen Yun laughed, "Where did I get my courage? It's given by Liang Jingru! Spare me your chatter, just attack when you're ready!"
Liang Jingru?
Who is this person?
Lin Feiyun was so confused that she couldn't understand what Chen Yun was talking about.
However, she knew now was not the time to ponder who Liang Jingru was.
If she couldn't defeat Chen Yun today, she might really die on this official road.
At the same time, Chen Yun also put away any signs of casualness, adjusting his state to its best.
The two stood still as the cold wind blew past.
A fierce battle is about to come!
