It's still quite a long drive from the pier to the city of Fusi, and Shen Hao will not be idle on the carriage. He directly asks Wang Jian, who has come to pick him up, about the trace of the person he cares most about in the city of Fusi.
Master Bai Gu, the founder of the Zhengyang Sect, and the master of Chen Zhidong, the current leader of the Zhengyang Sect, speculated that he had traveled to sea and traveled around until he returned. At the same time, Shen Hao speculated that it was most likely some kind of substitute method found by Lang San, similar to Qing Chi pretends to be Yang Xin.
"Sir, my subordinates are also planning to report this matter to you. This morning, an informant saw a monk dressed as a scribe in white outside the gate of Zhengyang Sect. He was very tall, very thin, with skin as pale as paper. His aura is very strong, at least he is in the Xuanhai realm. Because he is a stranger, I took note of the other person’s appearance with eyeliner and used the portrait to identify him. It was the same as the portrait of Bai Gu provided by Xuanqing Weili, and the information about Bai Gu in the City of Wasted Death. The appearance description is basically the same.
But there must be something wrong with this Bai Gu, he is definitely not someone who just came back from overseas! "Wang Jian's last words were firm and his eyes were shining.
"Oh? What did you find?" Shen Hao leaned on the back of the chair and sat upright. He looked at Wang Jian with interest. Although he also guessed that Bai Gu had a problem, it was all reasoning without evidence. Now Wang Jian Jian must have gotten the other party's tail, otherwise he would never be so confident.
"Sir, Tan Bin and the others have been in Waishi City for several years. They are following boats, racing cars and horse racing shops. It can be said that they are well aware of all the businesses in Waishi City, at least on the surface. It is rare to hide something from them.
So after the eyeliner checked Bai Gu's identity, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with the other party.
Because the sea close to the city of Fusi is the Sea of Treasures, and another characteristic of Treasures is that the sun is scorching all year round, and the sea wind is very strong. Generally, people who go to sea will lose several layers of skin even in just a few months, especially their hair, which will become very rough. Can't watch. People who go to sea all year round will not only have their skin turn dark, but also develop a layer of dead skin like keratin, which looks very obvious. And because the hair will be eroded and difficult to take care of, people will choose to go bald.
If the monks on the boat can withstand the sun, they will never be able to withstand the erosion of the sea breeze. Even if their hair is not corroded like ordinary people, it will definitely not be unscathed. This has recently been verified by many monks who have returned from overseas travels in Wusi City.
And that Bai Gu not only had smooth skin, but also smooth hair, which was darker and shinier than those of his subordinates who stayed indoors all day. Do you think he could have returned from traveling overseas? "
The corners of Shen Hao's mouth turned up slightly, which confirmed his previous guess about Bai Gu's identity.
A person with a high level of cultivation, but he only showed up when he founded the Zhengyang Sect, then disappeared for many years, and then suddenly appeared again now.
Traveling overseas? It has now been proven to be false. Could it be that he has been in retreat? Naturally it's impossible. Just like Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi who claimed to be dead a long time ago. Although ordinary people didn't know that they were still sitting in Fenghong Villa, who in the sect with some status didn't know that they were still alive and well? It's not a top secret. Who would cover up the whereabouts of a person in seclusion so tightly? This makes no sense.
If you can't figure it out, if according to Shen Hao's guess, Bai Gu is not a "living person" but just a cover for Lang San to act at the front desk, then everything can be easily explained.
Just like a tool, it is naturally taken out when it is needed and stored when not in use.
After that, Wang Jian kept briefing Shen Hao on all kinds of information about Wusi City. Because there have been countless changes in Waishi City recently, including some old monsters returning from overseas, some mergers and combinations between forces, and various rumors about Shen Hao...
There was too much news that could not be described in a thousand miles of notes before. Now Wang Jian could only report to Shen Hao in as much detail as possible in person, trying not to miss anything.
"Sir, there are currently many monks in the City of Fusi who are hostile to you, especially those old monsters who have returned from overseas. It is said that they are at the fifth or sixth level of the Xuanhai Realm. They are ruthless and cunning. It is said that they plan to kidnap you after entering the underground palace. Walk......"
In the eyes of the four members of Blackwater, including Wang Jian himself, Master Shen's trip to the underground palace in Death City was too dangerous. What is dangerous is not only the ever-changing environment in the underground palace, but also the situation of entering the underground palace this time.
It can be said that most of the people who went to the underground palace this time went there because of the kind of opportunity Master Shen got last time. Especially those old monsters who have returned from overseas travels. Those people have fought against the Jing Dynasty in the early years. They can be fearless in order to cultivate themselves. If they say they want to kidnap people, they are very likely to do so. Really do it.
Let’s look at the power of Master Shen guarding Fenghong Villa? Even though he was taking it seriously, he still felt that he was outnumbered, which really didn't make people feel at ease.
Wang Jian didn't want Mr. Shen to be trapped in the underground palace again or have any accidents. Wouldn't it be nice to live a peaceful life for a few years?
Of course, Wang Jian didn't dare to question Master Shen's actions, he just wanted to dissuade him from the side again.
"Old monster? Haha." Shen Hao sneered, but didn't say much to Wang Jian. How could he not know the danger of going to the underground palace this time? But he certainly had enough confidence to dare to come. His confidence is not Fenghong Villa, nor the name of Jingjiu Dynasty, but himself and the Bai Wu in his body.
When he arrived at the camp in the city where Shen Hao had been, Shen Hao was still shocked by the scene in front of him. Although we know that there are thousands of people who enter the underground palace every year, and their origins are different, they are just casual cultivators. People with sects usually live together in groups. In addition to those who enter the underground palace, there will also be some aftermath or The responders stayed outside in case of accidents. That would add up to another 20 to 30% more people.
But is this too much in front of me? Has everyone gathered in this place?
It even gave Shen Hao the illusion of being in a large military camp.
"Are you Shen Hao?"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded behind Shen Hao. He turned around and saw an old man in strange clothes. Who is this?
On the side, Wang Jian quickly introduced in Shen Hao's ear that this person was one of those old monsters who had returned from overseas travels. His surname was Chen, and he was an elder with considerable influence in the city of Wanxing. After leaving Yunyou, the force he belonged to had been destroyed, and even his enemies had been destroyed by others. It took him two hundred years to come back, but his cultivation was already at the fourth level of the Xuanhai realm. This person was among the people who clamored to abduct Shen Hao. He screamed fiercely and had a special appearance, so Wang Jian had an impression of this person.
