Han Wu jumped away from the window. Before leaving, I did not forget to drink the only cup of tea left in the room.
Chen Yuan did not agree to Han Wu's request, but he also did not refuse.
Escorting the dynasty's important weapons back to the imperial capital is by no means an easy task, let alone as simple as what you see in front of you. There is always a conspiracy behind it, as if someone is controlling everything.
Chen Yuan is not the kind of person who passively endures. Although he has been involved in secular disputes, he still has to fight for the best interests for himself.
If one day, great changes occur in the Daqi Dynasty, survival is the most important thing.
Neither the fate of the dynasty nor the Nine Dragons Jade Seal has anything to do with him. I will not sacrifice my life for something that has nothing to do with it.
In fact, he is not the only one who thinks the same as Chen Yuan. Most monks have self-interest. After all, they have basically separated from the mortal world after becoming monks. However, their current level is too low and they cannot completely escape from the mortal world.
Once they reach the foundation building stage, even if they reach the peak of Qi refining like the Son of Blood God, they will no longer have anything to do with the mortal world.
Another thing that fetters Chen Yuan and other low-level monks is that the temptation given by the Ninth Prince is too great, so they have to obey the arrangement. Even as a mortal, a figure like the Ninth Prince can still control monks who are stronger than him.
After all, monks are also human beings, not real immortals.
For the sake of temptation, or to get rid of the shackles of the mortal world, there will definitely be many low-level monks involved in this imperial power dispute in the mortal world.
If Chen Yuan wants to protect himself, he must prepare for the worst.
He has a lot of magic weapons on his body, close to ten of them, middle-grade or low-grade. There is no need to use the Yin-Yang Cauldron to upgrade them in a short period of time. What he lacks most now is a flying magic weapon or a quick movement technique.
During the escort trip, dangers are everywhere. If you can't defeat them, you can use flying magic weapons to escape.
Huiyue City is a city larger than Luochen, and the Ninth Prince is in charge. There are naturally many secular shops and monk shops in the city, and merchants such as Shendan Hall naturally have a branch.
The Ninth Prince said that in three days, someone would come to him and discuss escorting him for a long journey. However, Chen Yuan practiced in the inn for a month and saw no one. Only Han Wu took the initiative to come a few times.
Opening his eyes and waking up from his practice, Chen Yuan planned to visit the city in the city.
The monk's market is generally separated from the commercial streets of the mortal world. Chen Yuan walked slowly all the way and finally found a "Ma Liu Street" in the southeast corner of Huiyue City.
There are small immortal cultivating clans like the Guo clan in Luochen County, and there are naturally also Huiyuecheng clans, and there are three clans, namely the Ma clan, the Liu clan and the Zhang clan.
Chen Yuan didn't understand the power situation in Huiyue City. He just wanted to buy a useful flying magic weapon or a body skill secret book.
Walking into Maliufang City, it was not as prosperous as imagined. It was not even as prosperous as the black market in Leisure City. There were only a few vendors and a few pedestrians, and everyone's face showed uneasiness.
Frowning slightly, the strange atmosphere made Chen Yuan unwilling to stay too long and went directly to a small shop selling magical artifacts.
"All items in our store are half price. What do you want objectively?"
The waiter in the shop was a young monk on the second floor of Qi Refining. When Chen Yuan walked in, he was packing up the few items left in the shop.
"Do you have any flying magic weapons?" Chen Yuan said directly.
"No. I'm so uneasy about returning to Yuecheng now that all the magic tools and talismans that can help me escape have been sold out long ago. Sir, you'd better go to other places to have a look."
The waiter didn't even look at Chen Yuan, and just kept packing his belongings, looking very impatient.
Chen Yuan went to three or five other shops and got almost the same answer.
There were only a few people in the supposedly crowded market. The shop waiter was so impatient that all the magic weapons and talismans related to escape and flight were swept away. This made Chen Yuan realize that things might have developed beyond his expectations.
It is no longer safe to return to Yuecheng and we must leave immediately.
Unable to buy the flying magic weapon, Chen Yuan could only temporarily look for Han Wu. Perhaps only he knew what happened during the month he returned to Yuecheng.
After meeting Chen Yuan several times, Han Wu said that if he wanted to find him, he could just go to the City God's Temple outside the city.
After leaving Fangshi, Chen Yuan noticed that the streets of Huiyuecheng today had completely changed from the first time he came there.
There are no martial arts knights carrying swords, no monks in a hurry, and not even many ordinary mortals. All of them looked panicked and had haggard faces, and many of them were even stained with blood, as if they had just experienced a battle.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
The pace of his feet inevitably accelerated a bit.
The Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city is a ruined temple where many homeless beggars live.
When Chen Yuan appeared in the ruined temple, several ragged children were fighting for a roast chicken in Han Wu's hand.
Seeing Chen Yuan appear, Han Wu threw the roast chicken in his hand to a thin girl, then came to Chen Yuan with a smile and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen has figured it out. Do you want to go on this escort journey with me?"
"You know what I want to know. Please tell the truth, fellow Taoist Han." The development of the matter was so sudden that Chen Yuan had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter before he could make the final plan.
"Actually, the matter is very simple. Everything is related to the Nine Dragons Jade Seal."
Han Wu waved his hand, and the children who were snatching the roast chicken consciously walked away.
The Nine Dragons Jade Seal symbolizes imperial power and status. All nine princes of the Da Qi Dynasty wanted to get it.
Half a year ago, the Ninth Prince obtained the Nine Dragons Jade Seal. Naturally, the other eight princes wanted to snatch it, so the ninth prince had to find someone to escort the important weapon.
Once the Nine Dragons Jade Seal successfully reaches the imperial city, the Ninth Prince can rely on the Jade Seal to successfully ascend the throne.
In order to protect the Nine Dragons Jade Seal, the Ninth Prince found the Luoxia Sect, Sun Moon Sect and other monk sects with only one purpose, and that was to successfully escort the Nine Dragons Jade Seal back to the imperial city.
The prince who competed most with the Ninth Prince also found many sects to help him. Among them, the most powerful and powerful one was the Yinsha Sect. I heard that the Yinsha Sect not only had foundation-building powerhouses, but also a A strong man in the elixir formation stage who has been in seclusion for half a year.
There are good and upright families in the world, but naturally there are also evil ones.
The Yinsha Sect is a powerful demonic sect in the Daqi Dynasty, and is more than a star and a half stronger than the vulnerable Tianmo Sect.
The reason why Huiyue City is now deserted is entirely because the Ninth Prince has left and the Snowland Escort Agency has also set out in great force.
"Now that the Ninth Prince's people have left, the city should return to calm. Why is everyone so panicked, as if a disaster is about to happen."
Chen Yuan asked puzzledly.
"It's still because of the Nine Dragons Jade Seal. The eldest prince suspected that the Ninth Prince did not take the Nine Dragons Jade Seal with him, nor did he let the Snowland Escort Bureau escort him, but placed it on a certain cultivator in the city. If they want the Jade Seal, they naturally have to get it from Attack the stray cultivators in the city."
There are not many fools in the world, and the Ninth Prince made several excuses for the Yuxi. If the eldest prince wants the jade seal, he must break all the pretense before he can finally determine where the jade seal is.
"So, wouldn't we become cannon fodder for the Ninth Prince to resist the First Prince?"
After listening to Han Wu's narration, Chen Yuan suddenly felt chills on his back. He originally thought that he would be safer after agreeing to the Ninth Prince's request, but he was tricked anyway without thinking about him.
It can be said that not only Chen Yuan himself, but almost all the casual cultivators in Huiyue City were passively turned into pawns for the Ninth Prince to escort Yuxi.
This Ninth Prince's thoughtfulness is simply terrifying. On the surface, he used a big temptation to make the loose cultivators in the world work for him, but secretly it became his stepping stone.
Chen Yuan frowned, he must not be able to stay back in Yuecheng. No matter how strong the Yin Sha Sect is or what kind of strong men it will send, it will be a big crisis for a casual cultivator like me.
"Fellow Daoist Han seems to have a countermeasure." Chen Yuan looked at Han Wu, who was always smiling.
"The so-called countermeasures are nothing more than water and earth. The only way to escape from the Yinsha Sect is to hide. Since the ninth prince wants to escort Yuxi to the imperial capital, we might as well go and help him. The Yinsha Sect's The ultimate goal is also the Jade Seal, and the final target is also the Ninth Prince. With a big guy like him standing in front of us, the possibility of us becoming a target will naturally become smaller."
"Even if we are targeted by the Yin Sha Sect, as long as we follow the Ninth Prince's team closely, our lives can almost be saved."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yuan believed that Han Wu's plan was very effective. Since the Ninth Prince treated them as pawns, he might as well treat him as a pawn to save his life.
For the sake of imperial power, the Ninth Prince must have many masters around him.
"In this case, let's set off now. The Ninth Prince has just set off not long ago, and we can still catch up with him."
After saying this, Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly fell on the beggars and children who were snatching the chicken legs. Chen Yuan didn't understand why Han Wu, as a monk, wanted to hang out with the beggars.
"If you want to set off, there is no rush for now. Before we actually set off, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Chen for a small favor. Afterwards, you may be able to get a lot of benefits."
Han Wu naturally understood Chen Yuan's purpose in looking at the beggars, but he did not say how to deal with them.
"Fellow Daoist Han, just tell me if you have anything to say. Since I came to see you today, I have decided to form a team with you."
With a smile on her lips, Chen Yuanjing waited for Han Wu's next words.
"There are three major monk families in Huiyue City, namely, the Ma, Liu, and Zhang clans. Although their strength is not very strong, they have been passed down for more than three hundred years. The main reason why they can have monks appearing from generation to generation is because A small secret realm. But because no one among the three tribes has successfully built a foundation in hundreds of years, it is impossible to open all the secret realms."
"The Yinsha Sect has been abusing recently. In order to preserve the foundation of the race, the three major clans plan to open a secret realm and invite some monks above the third level to explore the secret realm together. What they want is nothing else but to leave a monk foundation for the three clans."
What Han Wu said surprised Chen Yuan. At the same time, another doubt forced him to be cautious.
