Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 366 The Silent Taoist Priest

"What are you doing here again?"

Ruan Ayao has adjusted her mindset.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuyao hesitated for a moment. Why did Ruan Ayao's attitude seem to have worsened this time?

She reflected on herself and was certain that she had not caused any trouble for the Taibai Sect.

I feel a little embarrassed.

But considering that there were plenty of spirit stones in the storage bag, and that it wasn't a one-sided demand without Ruan Ayao being taken advantage of, he immediately said, though not entirely justified:

"I wonder if your sect has any missions outside the city recently? Could I tag along with the Taibai Sect's team and cross the border?"

"Don't worry, the spirit stones will definitely arrive!"

Ruan Ayao suddenly stopped twirling the long flute in her hand and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Judging from her tone, it seems she is unaware that the Juque Sect is looking for her, and only assumes that things are tense recently.

But upon closer reflection...

Perhaps the killer really was that silent Taoist priest.

Instead of the person in front of me, Luoye Yaoqiu, otherwise, given the recent actions of the Juque Sect, he should have some idea of ​​what was going on.

Her ignorant and fearless demeanor suggests that this matter has nothing to do with her.

Ruan Ayao's bad attitude towards Zhu Wuyao was because two Golden Core cultivators from the Juque Sect were killed, and the Juque Sect came to her door.

Being implicated for no reason is naturally unpleasant.

Now that he has guessed that this matter has nothing to do with Zhu Wuyao, he has no intention of telling anyone or "asking for credit or reward".

He simply softened his tone and reminded her:

"Two Golden Core stage disciples of the Juque Sect have recently gone missing, which may be related to a Daoist named 'Silent One.' The sect has been in the spotlight lately precisely because of this matter."

Ah...ah? Ah!

Zhu Wuyao was stunned for a moment, and almost let out a surprised exclamation of doubt, confusion, hesitation and shock.

She slammed her mouth shut.

This is the emotional control ability of a Golden Core stage cultivator!

Then, Zhu Wuyao nodded calmly and said in a composed tone:

"So this is ah."

Is that really how it is?!

It's truly despicable. She only killed two evil Golden Core cultivators, yet the Giant Que Sect actually wants to capture her.

They weren't even willing to line up properly; one by one, they crashed into the bladeless sword and committed suicide!

When navigating the world of martial arts, one must always have a disguise.

Fortunately, she had a "fleeting trace" buff, so no divination or fortune-telling method could determine that she was the one who committed the murder.

If we can't catch her here, we can deal with her using any of the other methods in the cultivation world.

In particular, he also possesses "a thousand forms".

What does the Juque Sect's attempt to capture Wuyan have to do with me, Zhu Wuyao?

While Zhu Wuyao was lost in thought, Ruan Ayao was also pondering—

Believe it or not, the Taibai Sect has actually had to go out of the city recently.

Although the matter of the two Golden Core cultivators from the Juque Sect had nothing to do with her, based on the various information she had obtained, this Luoye Yaoqiu was clearly not a law-abiding and cautious person.

If placed within the territory of the Taibai Sect, there might be unforeseen circumstances.

It would be better to take it out and harm other people.

Moreover... this person is indeed quite capable. If he is in the team and encounters any crisis on the road, he can lend a hand.

However, risks are relative.

Perhaps this Fallen Leaf Inviting Autumn will actually bring risks to the Taibai Sect.

After a moment's consideration, Ruan Ayao asked:

"The Taibai Sect is indeed going to leave the city soon, heading towards Tongzhou. You can pretend to be a disciple of our sect and travel south together."

"no problem!"

It's good that I can get out.

She's already searched this map; she has to switch to another map to continue her search.

As for disguising himself as a disciple of the Taibai Sect, that's a piece of cake.

Zhu Wuyao doesn't dare to show his true face in the territory of the Juque Sect now. It would be better to first change his appearance to that of a disciple of the Taibai Sect, and then take the opportunity to leave the group and change into another appearance.

After thinking this through, Zhu Wuyao took out the Thousand Images and covered his face with it.

He changed his appearance to that of the disciple he had just met who had come to deliver the message.

Seeing this, Ruan Ayao fixed her gaze on her, narrowed her eyes, and asked:

"Master Wuyan?"

what?

There are quite a few people who can change their appearance, so how could Ruan Ayao reveal her identity in just a few words?

Zhu Wuyao removed his mask and asked with a hint of doubt:

"Master Wuyan?"

Seeing that the silent Taoist priest was still feigning ignorance, Ruan Ayao placed her long flute on the table, her previously relaxed posture shifting to a forward lean, seemingly quite interested, and said:

"There are neither many nor few people who can change their appearance."

"I had some doubts before, when did such a person appear among the rogue cultivators, who could kill two Golden Core cultivators by himself and escape unscathed."

It's important to understand that even within a sect, not everyone can reach the Golden Core stage.

As independent cultivators, they lack cultivation techniques and resources, and they may not be able to compete with sect disciples for rare and precious materials. They also face the risk of death at any time, making it difficult to safely advance to the Golden Core stage.

This is also the reason why "Illusionary Butterfly Mountain" has been gaining momentum recently.

The two leading figures were genuine Golden Core cultivators.

He also had the demeanor of a rough-and-tumble hero.

If there are no powerful enemies, they can protect a small force. If they proceed steadily, they might even be able to transform themselves, retire from their criminal activities, and become a legitimate small sect.

A strong wind reveals the strength of the grass; if one can grow up in such a harsh environment, then one can truly be considered a remarkable person.

But the key point is that such a person would never be unknown.

Seeing that his disguise had been exposed, Zhu Wuyao stopped trying to deny it.

She suddenly remembered that many years ago, in Beixuan City, she had used the name "Master Wuyan" with her real identity and appearance.

If someone makes the connection, verification is not difficult.

It seems this identity might be problematic; it's best to use it sparingly in the future.

Even if you have to use it, try your best to eliminate the enemy completely.

Just as she was about to nod and acknowledge the identity of "Master Silent," a disciple of the Taibai Sect entered from outside the door and loudly proclaimed:

"Senior Sister Ruan! News has come from Daoist Wuyan!"

Ah...ah? Ah!

Zhu Wuyao hesitated, wanting to speak but ultimately choosing to remain silent.

The disciple from the Taibai Sect who was there to deliver the message entered. At Ruan Ayao's prompting, he did not avoid Zhu Wuyao and directly relayed the news about Daoist Wuyan:

"Senior Sister Ruan, about an hour ago, news came from Tongzhou that Master Wuyan had appeared. He drew his sword in the middle of the city and protected a mother and daughter who were being chased. Everyone who saw it praised him."

"Then he left in a carefree manner, seemingly using an extremely fast escape technique!"

Ruan Ayao frowned slightly. She glanced at Zhu Wuyao, then turned her gaze to the disciple and asked:

"Is this information...reliable?"

"Senior Sister Ruan, this is firsthand information from our sect, so it's absolutely true. Should we secretly protect this Daoist Wuyan?"

Ruan Ayao glanced at Zhu Wuyao again, then nodded with a slight hesitation.

The disciple, having received permission, bid farewell and departed.

Ruan Ayao asked, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Zhu Wuyao said solemnly:

What I was about to say was—

"That Daoist Master Wuyan is not only highly skilled, but also chivalrous and righteous. He is a man of great integrity and a hero of the mortal world. How could I possibly be her, such a peerless person?"

Ruan Ayao lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"It really doesn't look like it..."

Wishing you no invitation: ?
