Chapter 146 Yuanying Zhenjun's Hunt
Fenghua Sect.

With the death of He Shaogang, his soul lamp went out. As the next leader of Fenghua Sect, He Shaogang's death instantly shook the entire Fenghua Sect.

Finally, this matter alarmed a Yuanying Zhenjun. As the other party's direct descendant, He Shaogang had taken the Reincarnation Pill to build a solid foundation, so he had the hope of reaching the Yuanying realm.

Now that this hope was shattered, even Yuanying Zhenjun felt extremely angry.

"The murderer is in Xiancheng!"

He Zhangcheng made a hand gesture and then sensed the mark left by He Shaogang. The next moment, He Zhangcheng's figure disappeared and headed straight for the Immortal City.

If anyone dares to kill the next leader of Fenghua Sect, Fenghua Sect will never let it go. This is a matter of Fenghua Sect's reputation and dignity.

"Was it discovered so soon?"

In the southern part of the Immortal City, Gu Mo's incarnation felt the movement of the mark on his body. He knew that the people of Fenghua Sect had begun to track this mark.

But Gu Mo did not choose to escape, because with the mark, he could not escape at all, so Gu Mo chose to stay in the Immortal City.

No violence is allowed in the Immortal City. Gu Mo doesn't know whether the Immortal City can stick to its principles in the end, but at least the Immortal City will hesitate for a while.

And this time is enough for me to escape.

Before long, a terrifying Nascent Soul aura rapidly approached from the sky. Compared to the aura emitted by the Nascent Soul True Lords in the previous auction, this aura was filled with murderous intent.

"I wonder what has happened to make Brother He so angry?" A figure appeared in the sky above South City and blocked the murderous aura.

"There is a murderer in Xiancheng who killed the candidate for the leader of my Fenghua Sect. Please give me some relief, City Lord Yun." He Zhangcheng suppressed his anger and bowed.

If the murderer was from an ordinary sect, he would have rushed in and killed them long ago, but that was not the case with Yuntian Immortal City, and Fenghua Sect did not dare to provoke a force like Yuntian Immortal City.

"This is happening!"

Yun Chen was surprised. Which force was preparing to go to war with Fenghua Sect? Thinking of Fenghua Sect's overbearing behavior over the years, Fenghua Sect had already made many enemies.

It's just that because Fenghua Sect has two Nascent Soul True Lords in charge, many sects chose to tolerate it temporarily. But they never expected that someone would take action against Fenghua Sect so soon.

And he immediately killed the next leader of Fenghua Sect. It was a very cruel slap in the face.

Besides being surprised, Yun Chen also felt a headache. It was obvious that the murderer who killed the important members of Fenghua Sect was hiding in Xiancheng and was using Xiancheng as a shield.

Since the founding of the Immortal City, rules have been set that prohibit anyone from using force in the Immortal City. This rule is the foundation of the Immortal City. Therefore, it is impossible for Yun Chen to allow this Yuanying Zhenjun from Fenghua Sect to directly enter the Immortal City to arrest people.

But if they refuse, they will offend Fenghua Sect. Yuntian Immortal City is naturally not afraid of Fenghua Sect, but as a neutral force, Yuntian Immortal City has no need to offend anyone.

After thinking about it, Yun Chen sent a message to He Zhangcheng.

"can!"

Although He Zhangcheng was somewhat dissatisfied with the obstruction of the Immortal City, he also knew that the Immortal City would not allow him to break the rules. Before, when he came to participate in the Immortal City Grand Auction, he had faintly detected the aura of more than one Yuanying Zhenjun in the Immortal City.

If a conflict really breaks out with the Immortal City, the Fenghua Sect will definitely not end up well.

After reaching an agreement, He Zhangcheng withdrew. Subsequently, various rumors began to circulate in the Immortal City. Even the Yuanying Zhenjun could not take action in the Immortal City, which greatly enhanced the credibility of the Immortal City.

"Leaving now?"

Feeling the aura of Yuanying Zhenjun dissipate, Gu Mo frowned slightly. He didn't think that Fenghua Sect would just let it go. Since Fenghua Sect would not let it go, then the other party made the opposite move at this moment. The only explanation was that Fenghua Sect and Xiancheng reached some agreement.

As soon as Gu Mo had the thought, a figure appeared in front of him.

"Greetings to the Lord of the City!"

Seeing this figure suddenly appear, Gu Mo was startled, and then saluted. Gu Mo had seen this Lord of Yuntian Fairy City at the previous auction.

"How could a fake Dan like you be able to kill the candidate for the leader of Fenghua Sect?" Yun Chen looked at Gu Mo. Facing the close inspection of a Yuanying Zhenjun, Gu Mo's hidden cultivation level naturally could not be concealed.

However, the other party did not seem to realize that Gu Mo was an incarnation, or he did not even think about it in this way. How could a fake elixir cultivator have the resources to cultivate an incarnation? If he put these resources into his cultivation, he might be able to become a golden elixir cultivator directly.

"Lord City Lord, are you planning to capture me and send me to the Fenghua Sect?" Gu Mo asked. Anyway, he was just an incarnation, so he was not afraid of offending the Yuanying Zhenjun.

"You are just a fake Dan, how dare you let me take action?" Yun Chen's eyes focused, and the powerful Nascent Soul aura came pressing down.

If it weren't for the appearance of the Yuanying Zhenjun of Fenghua Sect, he would not have even taken a second look at a fake pill like Gu Mo. However, now it seems that this fake pill has nothing else but courage. Yes, who would dare to kill an important member of Fenghua Sect if he was not courageous.

"However, our Yuntian Immortal City does not welcome people who do evil. You should leave on your own." Yun Chen changed the subject. No force can be used in the Immortal City, but if the target leaves the Immortal City, then it naturally has nothing to do with the Immortal City.

This was also the agreement reached between Yun Chen and He Zhangcheng. He Zhangcheng abided by the rules of the Immortal City, while Yun Chen drove Gu Mo out of the Immortal City.

After all, rules are dead, but people are alive. As a commercial city, Xiancheng has always been good at adapting. It is not a fool for a fake alchemy cultivator to offend a large sect with two Nascent Soul True Lords, so Xiancheng will naturally not do that.

Besides, this fake Dan monk has no interest in anything with the Immortal City, and the Immortal City has no reason to shelter a stranger.

"really……"

Gu Mo sighed lightly. This result was almost expected. Fortunately, Gu Mo did not count on the Immortal City. All he had to do was delay time and buy time for himself to escape.

"My Lord City Lord, I can leave. However, can you agree to one of my requests?" Gu Mo bowed. He was not angry about the result that he had anticipated. At this moment, the wisest choice was to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits.

"Are you making a request of me?"

Yun Chen was a little stunned. It had been a long, long time since anyone dared to propose conditions to him in person.

"Your Excellency the City Lord has misunderstood. Yuntian Fairy City is a commercial city. I just want to make a deal with you." Gu Mo changed his words.

Although he was just an incarnation, he was not afraid of Yuanying Zhenjun, but there was no need, and he did not want to offend a Yuanying Zhenjun. After all, the other party could have made him disappear quietly, but it was not cost-effective to do so, so the other party did not take action.

"Go ahead." Yun Chen expressed his approval of Gu Mo's new statement. At this moment, he also had some appreciation for this fake Dan cultivator. After all, there were not many fake Dan cultivators who dared to make conditions with him.

Besides, he had no grudge against the fake Dan cultivator in front of him, and this person was the one He Zhangcheng wanted. Yun Chen would naturally not take action against Gu Mo. Otherwise, if he failed to hand over the person, He Zhangcheng might think that the Immortal City wanted to protect the other party.

"Lord City Lord, I have a contract with the Lu family to provide them with shelter. However, it seems that I can no longer fulfill the contract. I wonder if Lord City Lord can provide them with shelter?" Gu Mo took out the contract with Fang Jiaoyan.

Gu Mo couldn't hide the fact that he had rented the Lu family's spiritual field from others. He was worried that the Fenghua Sect would target the Lu family. If he could get the mayor of the Immortal City to give him some protection, then the safety of the Lu family would be assured.

"can!"

Yun Chen nodded. This was just a small matter for him. The person He Zhangcheng wanted was just the fake pill in front of him, and he had no information about the Lu family. If He Zhangcheng wanted to ask for people again in the future, it would mean that the other party was ignorant. Xiancheng could cooperate once because the other party was a Yuanying Zhenjun.

But it is impossible to cooperate all the time, otherwise, wouldn’t it show the weakness of the Immortal City?

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

Gu Mo handed over the contract and prepared to leave. At this time, his original body had already boarded the departing merchant ship, and the incarnation's purpose of delaying time had been achieved.

"Wait!"

Yun Chen called out to Gu Mo. When Gu Mo was confused, a powerful force enveloped him. Then, Gu Mo's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

In just a few breaths, Gu Mo had completely left the sphere of influence of Yuntian Immortal City. It was obvious that the Lord of Yun City did not want Gu Mo to be captured as soon as he left the city, so he threw Gu Mo far away so that no matter what happened, it would have nothing to do with Yuntian Immortal City.

Of course, this move also bought Gu Moduo some time, but this time was not of much use. If the mark on the fake Dan incarnation was not removed, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of Yuanying Zhenjun.

At this moment, the mark on Gu Mo's body was glowing slightly, and it was obvious that the Yuanying Zhenjun was activating the mark to locate him.

"Well, I'll wait until I become stronger and then come back to fight." Gu Mo took out the bamboo sword. This time, this top-grade magic weapon would be destroyed here along with him. However, thinking that he had obtained two top-grade magic weapons from He Shaogang, it seemed that this was not a big loss.

It didn't take long before a vast energy like the ocean locked onto Gu Mo. Under the lock of this energy, Gu Mo had difficulty moving, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.

"You are the one who killed Shao Gang?"

While Gu Mo was struggling to hold on, an indifferent voice sounded. He Zhangcheng looked at the fake elixir cultivator in front of him, his eyes full of doubt. How could a fake elixir cultivator kill He Shaogang who was in the Golden Core realm and even make him unable to use his trump card to save his life?

But the mark that He Shao had released before his death was on the body of the fake Dan cultivator in front of him. This made He Zhangcheng very puzzled, but it was not a big problem.

When the time comes, we will search his soul and know everything.

Thinking of this, He Zhangcheng raised his hand and condensed the true energy of Yuanying Zhenjun into a big hand to grab Gu Mo. Seeing this, Gu Mo directly shattered the fake pill in his body. He knew that he would die this time, but it was not his style to just surrender. No matter what Yuanying Zhenjun was, he would still break a few of his teeth.

The powerful elixir force released by the shattering of the fake elixir allowed Gu Mo to barely move under the locked aura of Yuanying Zhenjun. Afterwards, Gu Mo used the sword return technique in the sword manual. Gu Mo knew very well that his own strength could not hurt a Yuanying Zhenjun, but if he used the power of Yuanying Zhenjun to fight back, it should be effective.

The Sword Return in the Sword Classic is a sword technique that uses the opponent's force to counterattack. It is also the only move that Gu Mo currently has that has a hope of hurting Yuanying Zhenjun.

Although Gu Mo has not yet fully understood this sword return move, who cares? He'll just give it a try.

Gu Mo turned the bamboo sword into a big sword and held it in his hand, horizontally in front of him. He stared at the huge hand of true energy that kept falling, and recalled the essence of the sword return move over and over in his mind.

"Ding!"

When the fingertips of the True Energy Hand touched the bamboo sword, the terrifying power almost instantly tore apart the body of Gu Mo's fake elixir incarnation. At this moment, a flash of enlightenment suddenly emerged in Gu Mo's mind.

Then, Gu Mo swung his sword.

"puff!"

The moment Gu Mo swung his sword, a finger of the Zhenyuan hand was instantly cut off. He successfully borrowed a part of the power of Yuanying Zhenjun and cut off a finger of the Zhenyuan hand. The price was that the body of his incarnation was on the verge of breaking.

It's a pity that after paying such a price, Gu Mo only cut off a finger of the big hand of true energy condensed by Yuanying Zhenjun, which is still a long way from hurting Yuanying Zhenjun.

But seeing the surprise on the other party's face, Gu Mo felt that this attack did have some effect.

Giving a middle finger to the Yuanying Zhenjun, Gu Mo mobilized the last bit of Dan power in his body and shattered this body that was already overwhelmed. I won’t play with you anymore.

"It's not that easy to die!"

He Zhangcheng had a gloomy face and took out a bell. It was an evil magic weapon, the Soul-Capturing Bell, which could imprison souls.

"Jingle Bell!"

He Zhangcheng shook the soul-capturing bell, but no soul appeared in the bell. Gu Mo had already retracted his consciousness when he self-destructed his fake pill incarnation, so it would be strange if he could capture a soul.

“This is the incarnation!”

After a moment of surprise, He Zhangcheng realized that he was facing just an incarnation, which made He Zhangcheng's face look extremely ugly.

This was even more of a slap in the face than when Gu Mo cut off the fingers of his True Energy Hand just now. He, a dignified Yuanying Zhenjun, was actually fooled by someone.

"Very good, do you really think you can escape like this?" The furious He Zhangcheng grabbed at the void, and suddenly, a faint aura was caught by He Zhangcheng.

Afterwards, He Zhangcheng took out a magical weapon that looked like a Si Nan and threw the energy into it. Then, the Si Nan magical weapon began to rotate and finally pointed to a direction.

It is obvious that this Si Nan is a magical tool for tracking and exploration, but compared to a mark, this Si Nan magical tool can only point out a rough direction and cannot lock it accurately.

But this was enough for He Zhangcheng. He had already memorized the scent of the little thief and could spot him as long as he got close.

In the boundless ocean, a huge treasure ship broke through the wind and waves and sailed towards the endless depths of the sea.

In a room on the treasure ship, Gu Mo slowly opened his eyes and carefully felt the feeling of performing the Sword Return just now. At the cost of losing the fake elixir incarnation, Gu Mo finally reached the threshold of the Sword Return.

Although the loss was not small this time, he escaped successfully, which was still pretty good. After he finds a place to develop well for a few years, he will come and cause trouble for the Fenghua Sect.
