The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 429 Baili Shang's Midnight Visit

Although he was asking for consent, Huo Jinchuan's tone was full of threat.

It seemed that if any of the three dared to refuse, their fate would definitely not be good.

The atmosphere on the spirit boat suddenly turned gloomy.

Huo Jinchuan turned on us as soon as we entered the Central Domain; he was quick to do so.

But all three of them came in with their own purposes, so they had naturally anticipated this and were mentally prepared.

"it is good."

The young master of the Demon Clan, Baili Shang, was the first to agree.

Xiao Heyun could only nod with an ambiguous expression, leaving Song Wanning as the only one who had not yet expressed her opinion.

Huo Jinchuan looked at her, his eyes scrutinizing her.

This woman possesses the strongest fortune; we must first find an excuse to keep her here, and then devise a plan to gradually win her over.

These three are extremely wary; if we don't find some excuse, they might become suspicious instead.

Within his mind, his inner voice could be clearly heard.

The incomplete formula was not the real purpose; it was merely an excuse to stall the group.

Upon hearing this, Song Wanning blinked and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course, we were able to come in thanks to you, young master."

Her smile was full of warmth, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.

Huo Jinchuan nodded without changing his expression, "In that case, you should study the pill formula carefully first. When you arrive at the Pill Sect, you can visit and learn from it."

After saying that, he ignored the three of them and continued to urge the spirit boat on its way.

Song Wanning exchanged a glance with Baili Shang, then they both looked away and went back to studying the pill formula.

Xiao Heyun didn't doubt Huo Jinchuan's purpose and thought that the other party had brought them in because of the pill formula.

"I lost to them in the previous competition, but I can't afford to lose to them again in Danfang!"

"System, I need to study this pill formula carefully now, so please don't bother me."

After saying that, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to studying the elixir formula, appearing extremely diligent.

Song Wanning glanced at him, a cold smile appearing in her eyes.

Both of them are intruders, and now they are completely at odds. If she guesses correctly, Huo Jinchuan will not let anyone go. Will Xiao Heyun's luck be able to be preserved?

She was extremely curious.

She was also very curious about Huo Jinchuan's ability to see through destiny, which was much more interesting than these pill formulas.

……

Two weeks later, the spirit boat finally came to a stop.

The maid's injuries had long since healed, and she followed Huo Jinchuan obediently, no longer daring to be rude to Song Wanning and the others.

Song Wanning and the other two looked up and saw a sect hidden in the clouds, its towering buildings majestic and imposing, clearly indicating its extraordinary heritage.

At the main entrance, a tall furnace cauldron, about ten meters high, was placed, emitting the fragrance of medicinal pills that made one feel comfortable just by smelling it.

Although it is affiliated with the Huo family, the strength of the Dan Sect is inferior to that of the Medicine King Sect.

As soon as Huo Jinchuan appeared, the more than twenty disciples on guard duty bowed and greeted him, their greetings echoing throughout the surrounding area.

This is a much bigger spectacle than when Song Wanning was in the Song family.

The resources of the Central Domain are almost entirely monopolized by these families. In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are not as happy as the cultivators of the Four Domains.

Huo Jinchuan nodded and led Song Wanning and the others toward the interior of the Dan Sect.

Upon entering the Dan Sect, the rich aroma of medicine became even purer, and the disciples passing by were in a hurry, some even reciting pill formulas as they walked, looking extremely diligent.

When the sect leader of Danzong learned that Huo Jinchuan had arrived, he quickly led a group of people to greet him.

"These three are from another region, and have come here specifically to learn the alchemy techniques of the Dan Sect. You may exchange a few pointers."

Huo Jinchuan introduced the identities of Song Wanning and the other two, and then mentioned the results of their competition. The way the others looked at Song Wanning changed.

Even they had never witnessed any extraordinary phenomena in alchemy. This woman's talent was so great that she could join the Pill Sect.

Dan Zongzong took the initiative and readily agreed with a smile. He then followed the instructions and led Song Wanning and the other two to Welcoming Guest Peak.

"Young master, you have other matters to attend to these few days, so please stay at Welcoming Guest Peak for the time being. Rest here tonight, and I will send someone to show you around the Pill Sect tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master."

Song Wanning smiled and thanked her.

Of the three, Baili Shang spoke very little, and Xiao Heyun had to maintain his fake persona, so she was the only one who could handle it.

"Get some rest."

The sect leader nodded and quickly left with his men.

On the vast Welcoming Peak, only the three of them remained.

They each chose a room and went in to rest.

……

"Rumble--"

Huo Jinchuan opened the secret room and strode inside.

Chief Huo was meditating inside when he heard this and opened his eyes.

"You're back? Did you find the person?"

His gaze toward Huo Jinchuan was devoid of any emotion, only filled with endless coldness.

"We brought it back, and it's now settled in the Pill Sect."

Huo Jinchuan walked over, picked up the incense sticks beside him, lit them, and placed them on the altar.

Chief Huo glanced at him, gave a faint "hmm," and then closed his eyes again.

Huo Jinchuan's fists clenched silently at his sides as he stared intently at the lit cigarette.

The secret room fell silent once again.

……

On Yingke Peak, the moonlight shone softly down. Song Wanning was meditating when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

She opened her eyes, and with a wave of her hand, the door opened.

"Sorry for bothering you."

Baili Shang strode in and then closed the door.

"sit."

Song Wanning pointed to the stool, got up and sat down, and poured Baili Shang a cup of tea.

"What business does the young master have with me?"

She took a sip of tea and looked at Baili Shang with curiosity.

Actually, when Baili Shang waited for her to go to the City Lord's Mansion together, Song Wanning had already sensed his intentions.

He came to find her as soon as he arrived at the Pill Sect.

Baili Shang picked up his tea and took a sip without ceremony before speaking, "Fellow Daoist Song must have already noticed the problem, right? But you still chose to come in, so you must have your own purpose."

"But you've seen Huo Jinchuan's attitude. Not to mention you, even I would have a hard time escaping."

He turned sideways, leaned slightly forward, stared into Song Wanning's eyes, and said directly, "Only if we cooperate, will we have a glimmer of hope. I just don't know if Fellow Daoist Song is willing to do so?"

A smile appeared on his lips, but it didn't reach his eyes.

Song Wanning remained seated lazily, as if she had expected this.

"I am merely a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage. Does the young master need to cooperate with me?"

She was filled with vigilance. Putting aside the fact that Baili Shang was a member of the demon race, she had to be wary of his cultivation level alone.

Otherwise, you'll be harmed by the other party while still helping them count spirit stones!

Baili Shang wasn't annoyed. He slowly took out a white piece of paper from his storage ring.
