If he hadn't said anything, Wen Yuan might have punched him to pieces.
"I will do this. It's all because I received a commission from the head of the Du family. He said that as long as I help him complete this matter, he will let me join Chengyao Tower."
What's so good about this place? He was actually willing to sacrifice his own cultivation to join.
The man seemed to have noticed Wen Yuan's doubts and explained it specifically: "There are many top practitioners in Chengyao Tower who have never seen each other in their lives. Their families often have extremely rich families, and they control the The power of life and death in the world."
Wen Yuan still didn't understand. Doesn't the emperor care about this matter?
"How can such a thing exist if the whole world is not the royal land? Doesn't the imperial court care about it?"
Hearing her words, the man laughed wildly, "Court? The emperor is a member of the Pantheon, how could the court care about it? It's just that I heard that there was something wrong with the Pantheon recently, and the manipulator behind it has now been lost. All connections, I don’t know when I can come back, and the Pantheon is in chaos now, so Chengyao Tower must take this opportunity to develop itself.”
It sounded like two pagan organizations... But Wen Yuan didn't find that the old emperor was actually a member of this organization. It seemed that he really wanted to become a god.
Wen Yuan was curious, "Do you know who is behind the Pantheon?"
"How could I know such a top-secret thing? I haven't even joined Chengyao Tower yet, and you have ruined it all!"
As the man spoke, he sat on the ground and cried, blowing his nose while crying, "This was obviously my best chance to change my destiny, but it was ruined by you, a stinky woman. Why am I so unlucky!"
Wen Yuan couldn't help but slap him, "Cry, cry, cry, grown man, why are you crying? Tell me, what's so good about Chengyao Building that makes you have to go in."
"The Chengyao Tower is similar to the Pantheon, that is... after entering, you will get better resources, become rich, and your cultivation will be improved to a higher level, and you may even have the chance to become a demon clan."
ha? Become a demon clan? Wen Yuan's facial features were wrinkled, "Can you really become a demon? How?"
"It seems like a blood exchange or something... It's better to grab the demon elixirs from those low-level demon clans. Anyway, you can become a demon clan."
This method... is indeed useful, but how could anyone in Chengyao Tower know about this taboo method.
It seems that there is a big problem between Wanmoyuan and the human world of gods. "Then do you know who is behind the Chengyao Tower?"
"I don't know, but I heard that it has something to do with the leader of the demon clan. I don't know the specifics. It's probably some high-ranking member of the demon clan. Otherwise, how could he know such a taboo magic to turn people into demons?"
Indeed... the man's words hit the point right away. Wen Yuan, the thinker, told Xue Rui to investigate the matter quietly, "Remember, it doesn't matter if you investigate a little slower, but you must find out the whole story and finish the book." Check properly."
The two of them spoke so quietly that the man didn't hear them, and he wasn't interested anyway.
The only thing he is interested in now is that he has not completed the task well. Those old foxes in Chengyao Tower will definitely not let him join.
Wen Yuan looked at the lost man and asked who he meant by them, "So are these people you are talking about practicing some incredible magic? They actually need human souls."
"Yes. It is an original spell in Chengyao Tower. It absorbs other people's souls to achieve the effect of breaking through bottlenecks and accelerating cultivation. However, this method will cause backlash if not paid attention to, so they are very cautious and wait for a long time. It only happens once in a while, who knew I would bump into you this time, I am so unlucky!"
After shouting endlessly, Wen Yuan hit him again, "Who are they? Where do they live in the city? Take me there!"
"I don't dare to take you there. You have to go by yourself. I won't go... I live in the center of the city. In the Du Mansion, just ask anyone and they will all know. Auntie, I told you So much, please let me go. I have a seventy-year-old mother and a three-year-old baby waiting to be fed. I really can’t die, so just let me go!"
Wen Yuan laughed angrily at him again, "Okay, okay, go away and stop doing such evil things. I tell you, you don't have to believe in many things in this world, but you must believe in cause and effect."
After saying that, she let the man leave. Wen Yuan looked at Shen Huaiyan and thought about what the man had just said. Shen Huaiyan immediately understood what she meant, "Let's go, let's go find Du Mansion."
He naturally held Wen Yuan's hand, and a warm feeling spread all over Wen Yuan's body. She didn't even know that she was blushing, and she looked so cute.
Back in the city, many people were already out for activities. The heavy snow finally stopped, so it was time to go out and clear the snow.
Wen Yuan asked about the address of Du Mansion along the way, and quickly found this magnificent mansion along the road. "It does look like a wealthy family. The gates are so eye-catching."
She walked up and knocked on the door, and soon someone came inside and opened the door, looking at Wen Yuan warily, "Who are you two looking for?"
"We want to see the head of the Du family."
"My master has no guests, please come back." As he said this, the man was about to close the door, but luckily Shen Huaiyan stopped him in time.
"We have something very important to meet with Master Du." He leaned suspiciously into the concierge's ear and whispered, "It's about Chengyao Tower."
Upon hearing the words "Chengyao Tower", the concierge did not stop him and led the two of them in, "Since you are from Chengyao Tower, you must know that the head of my family has a bad temper. He should act and speak carefully. Understand. Yet?"
The concierge's voice became louder when he returned to the house. He asked the two of them to wait in the front hall, "The master of the house will be here soon, you can do whatever you want."
Wen Yuan sat aside and played with the silk handkerchief in his hand, "I don't know what kind of organization this is. Let's take a look at the head of the family first."
Soon, the head of the Du family came in from outside. As soon as he saw Wen Yuan and the others, he immediately called his servants, "Catch them! They are not from Chengyao Tower at all!"
"Master Du, if we were not from Chengyao Tower, how could we find you here? It would be better for you not to have a big fight with us. It will be good for you and me."
The man looked at Wen Yuan and Shen Huaiyan suspiciously, and was keenly aware of the demonic aura in them, "Where did you come from?"
Wen Yuan calmed the servants beside her and walked towards the main seat. She didn't speak until she sat down, "You must have noticed the auras of the two of us. This is all done intentionally by me, so... we can have a good talk. Have we talked about it? Head of the Du family?"
"You all go down." He dismissed the servants around him, "Okay, can you two express your intention now?"
"Aren't you curious about my identity?"
The head of the Du family was curious, but he didn't want to speak, "You are nothing more than a demon who has been practicing for thousands of years, with such a powerful and rich demon spirit."
Wen Yuan covered his face with a smile, pointed at Shen Huaiyan and said: "He is the demon who has been practicing for a thousand years. I have only been practicing for more than twenty years."
As soon as he heard what she said, the head of the Du family immediately changed his attitude. It turned out that he was just a little monster who had been practicing for more than 20 years, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
He completely ignored Shen Huaiyan next to Wen Yuan, nor did he consider how Wen Yuan could have cultivated the human form if he had simply practiced for more than twenty years.
"I'm not interested in what you're here for, you might as well just say it."
Wen Yuan happened to see a huge spider at this time. She put the spider in her hand and played with it. The Du family leader felt disgusted, but he didn't know that this spider was closely connected with his fate. "The Du family leader... We want to know everything about Chengyao Tower."
"How can I let you know, stop dreaming, if you are here just to talk these big words, I advise you to leave."
"Oh? Really?" Wen Yuan pulled the spider's leg for a day, and the head of the Du family immediately felt pain in his calf, as if someone had kicked him hard.
Wen Yuan ignored the grinning look and used magic to hang the spider in the air. The head of the Du family, who was sitting peacefully on the chair, suddenly rose into the air, as if he was suspended in mid-air by an invisible rope.
He kept struggling, "Let...let me go..."
"beg me."
Wen Yuan smiled jokingly and hoisted the spider higher, followed by the head of the Du family.
The man had no choice but to lower his head and beg her. Wen Yuan smiled and put him down from the sky. "You still have to recognize the reality. I am ordering you now, not begging you. Do you understand?"
The head of the Du family understood from what she just said. Wen Yuan's strength is not like what she said after only practicing for more than twenty years. "You lied to me. It's impossible for your demon power to be obtained by practicing for more than twenty years. I'm afraid it will It takes hundreds of thousands of years to have such terrifying power, who are you?!"
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know... I came to see you personally just to know everything about Chengyao Tower. If you don't tell me, then you are useless to me. For useless things, I usually kill them.”
Her words really frightened the head of the Du family, but the man still chose to hide the incident in Chengyao Tower, "Did you know... We are all being monitored, and every move is controlled on the day after joining..."
When he said this, the man's expression was very unnatural. Wen Yuan saw that he really couldn't get any useful information from him, so he stopped pestering him, "I will find out if you don't tell me. Now tell me, where is the secret in Chengyao Building?" If there are any big shots, I will go find them personally. If you don’t tell me, I don’t care if you are being watched or not, I will kill you.”
"I really cried knowing that there are levels here. I belong to the lowest level and can only come into contact with people of the same level as me. We don't know about the higher levels, but I can tell you... …The higher the level, the greater the power, and those on the top floor of Chengyao Tower are also at the top of the food chain in this world."
This was considered a relatively useful piece of news. Wen Yuan nodded and led Shen Huaiyan away without embarrassing the man again, "Okay, I understand."
