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

Chapter 363 Restless and Impatient, Yet Relaxed and Delighted

Whether Fallen Leaves Inviting Autumn will thank her remains to be seen.

But Master Wuyan was truly grateful to her...

The Juque Sect cultivators stationed in the disputed territory between the two sects in the far south were ridiculed by Ruan Ayao, and were filled with resentment.

Upon returning to his own territory, he immediately summoned several leaders and angrily declared:

"try to find!

"We'll dig three feet into the ground and find that Silent Taoist Priest!"

"I want to see if this person really has the ability to intercept and kill two Golden Core cultivators by himself. Once we catch him, let's see who Ruan Ayao of the Taibai Sect can blame for this!"

He clearly did not believe Ruan Ayao's explanation.

Although he had heard a little about Master Wuyan's deeds, in his opinion, this person was nothing more than a fraudster who knew a little bit of magic.

They are nothing but people who seek fame and fortune.

They might not even qualify as proper cultivators!

Therefore, he specifically instructed that they should not alert the enemy, and that no matter if it was the Silent Daoist or any other rogue cultivator, they should not let any of the strangely behaving cultivators or Daoists go unnoticed.

Zhu Wuyao was eating a kind of roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) on the street, looking at the sudden increase in the patrol frequency of the Juque Sect cultivators, and was a little confused.

what happened?

What happened in this remote place?

Why do the Juque Sect cultivators look as if they are facing a formidable enemy?

From small things, one can see the big picture; from a single leaf, one can foresee the coming of autumn.

Judging from the unusual behavior of the Juque Sect cultivators, Zhu Wuyao deduced that there might be powerful demonic beasts causing trouble nearby.

Or perhaps, this disputed area is finally going to escalate into a fight.

"No wonder those two Juque Sect cultivators traveled all the way here a while ago; they definitely had ulterior motives!"

That makes sense now.

It seems that something big is about to happen in this area, which is why the two cultivators named Wang Cheng Zhang Hua came to provide support.

Now, all the cities in the vicinity have strengthened their defenses, and Juque Sect cultivators are stationed and patrolling them.

Zhu Wuyao was even hesitant to fully unleash his divine sense.

This significantly reduced her efficiency in collecting anecdotes and stories, forcing her to wander the streets and alleys and chat like an ordinary person, no longer able to be a gossip receiver.

She was munching on a pancake.

He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion.

"It seems something big is about to happen...?"

This place is no longer a safe haven. If cultivators from the Juque Sect were to fight against demons and other cultivators, I, being just a minor Golden Core cultivator, would be caught in the crossfire, which would be an undeserved disaster.

Moreover, although Zhu Wuyao considered himself to be of upright character.

But if she were discovered by the disciples of the Giant Que Sect, they might not believe her, even if she, a cultivator from the Star-Picking Pavilion, claimed to be looking for someone.

Moreover, he actually killed the two cultivators who came to provide support.

It seems that the blame can be shifted to the source of the recent "chaos".

This is so intriguing! I really want to have my fortune told...

Zhu Wuyao restrained his impulse and sat by the roadside, concentrating on eating his pancake. He only got up after the patrol was over.

"Don't stay here for long!"

Although she didn't know what had happened, she remained extra vigilant. If she stayed any longer, she might unwittingly get herself into trouble.

She had just declared to Gu Yiguan that she would "obey orders but not proclamations."

If we accidentally get caught by the Juque Sect cultivators, and then have to ask the Zhaixing Tower to come and bail us out, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Losing face is a small matter.

If the other party decides to go all the way and kills her outright rather than let the innocent go free, then that would be extremely unlucky.

Therefore, I wish you a well-deserved decision.

Let's take a look around the territory of Taibai Sect first!

Anyway, judging from the map, the territory of the Taibai Sect is also within the scope of the investigation.

Taibai Sect.

Ruan Ayao was lying on the rooftop, resting with her eyes closed. The trees beside the house were lush and green, their branches and leaves covering the top, blocking the high-hanging sunlight and leaving only dappled light.

When the wind blows, it rustles.

It was exceptionally leisurely and relaxed.

This trip south was not entirely due to my master's orders.

Both of her major setbacks on her path of cultivation were related to Gu Yiguan.

The first time was back then.

Although he was lucky enough to escape with his life and was saved by Gu Yiguan, his cultivation level dropped and he encountered obstacles in his cultivation process after that.

The four sects' most outstanding disciples, plus A-Die.

Three people died that year, and she also suffered setbacks. Only Gu Yiguan's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. In fact, many people made speculations about this matter back then.

It is said that Gu Yiguan was jealous of the talents of others and, for the benefit of Zhaixinglou, set a trap to harm the geniuses of other sects.

Ruan Ayao, however, did not think so.

Was Gu Yiguan jealous of others' talent?

It's nonsense.

Of the five people back then, none of them were less talented than the others, but Gu Yiguan was the most skilled and the most reliable.

If it's about sacrificing friendship for the sake of the sect's interests... Ruan Ayao had to admit that she had the same guess.

In particular, Gu Yiguan's explanation was completely untenable.

But there is no evidence.

Ruan Ayao dared not search for him, fearing that the evidence she found would negate the years they had spent traveling together in the martial world, and that it would solidify Gu Yiguan's guilt.

She desperately wanted to believe Gu Yiguan, but she couldn't pretend to be blind and deaf.

The second time was a few years ago.

She had to admit that she had acted impulsively at the time, not only bringing up old stories rashly but also taking the initiative to attack Gu Yiguan.

Ruan Ayao didn't know what she was thinking about this matter.

So after recovering and leaving seclusion, she came here.

I revisited this place, hoping to uncover the truth.

According to the information received by the Taibai Sect, there are traces of witchcraft and curses in this place. Ruan Ayao has been here for many days but has not found any clues.

She raised her wrist and gently placed it on her forehead.

A leaf fell beside her face, but Ruan Ayao was too lazy to even use her spiritual power to brush it away.

Until a strong wind blew in, more and more leaves fell, rustling loudly, and the leisurely and comfortable atmosphere was gone.

Ruan Ayao suddenly sat up on the roof.

She frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Why am I feeling so restless and agitated? Is my Dao heart unstable?"

When it comes to protecting his own safety, Zhu Wuyao has always been extremely proactive.

After finishing the cake, she left the city and headed to the territory of the Taibai Sect, secretly crossing the disputed area between the two sects.

The four major sects.

The Qingyun Sect has the potential to become the leader of the four sects, and the Juque Sect is also powerful, but its reputation is much worse.

Taibai Sect and Zhaixing Tower were on good terms.

Upon arriving at his neighbor's territory, Zhu Wuyao felt refreshed and even straightened his back as he walked.

I have no idea what Ruan Ayao is doing.

I suppose she's busy with her sect's tasks, so it's best not to disturb her. I wonder if the recent unusual activity of the Juque Sect's cultivators is related to the Taibai Sect.

But considering how close the two are, there shouldn't be any need for me to remind them if there's any unusual activity.

What an eventful year it has been.

The Taibai Sect sent Ruan Ayao here, and the Juque Sect sent two Golden Core cultivators to reinforce us. I must be careful with my words and actions and must not get involved in this mess.
