Witch, please have some self-respect!

"There is some information about the owner of that blessed land. My investigation revealed that it was the blessed land of a second-level weapon refiner a hundred years ago. He probably failed to break through to become a weapon refiner master and passed away there."

He has occupied that hidden blessed land all by himself, and it has remained untouched for the past hundred years; the cave dwelling must be extremely wealthy.

Bai Yan'er continued to escalate the temptation.

"Could this be a weapon forged from six different materials?"

"Well... it's hard to say, but there will definitely be some forged to the fourth or fifth level." Bai Yan'er was taken aback for a moment, then said.

"War armor might not be out of the question."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

Putting aside whether there are any high-grade or low-grade treasures or armor, Bai Yan'er's eagerness to tempt him is definitely suspicious.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Bai Yan'er. However, I have reached a critical stage in my cultivation recently and truly cannot leave."

Shen Yun shook his head again in refusal.

Seeing that none of this had moved Shen Yun, Bai Yan'er couldn't help but feel regretful.

Since Shen Yun had refused, she didn't press the matter further.

If you are too hasty, you will definitely be noticed as to something is wrong.

"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer. But please keep today's events a secret, Brother Shen. I will go and find someone else."

If Brother Shen changes his mind, be sure to tell me immediately. They will definitely give him priority in getting a seat.

Bai Yan'er said with a regretful expression.

"Okay, Miss Bai Yan'er, don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret."

Bai Yan'er didn't linger there, but left immediately, making it seem as if she was going to find someone else.

Shen Yun also got up to see them off.

After seeing Bai Yan'er off, Shen Yun always felt that something was wrong.

First, a few days ago, Bai Yan'er rushed to his door to cooperate, which allowed him to gain a considerable advantage and make a lot of money.

Today, she revealed the hidden cave dwelling again, tempting him repeatedly.

He didn't think he had such great charm that Bai Yan'er thought so highly of him.

Although Shen Yun had already refused, he was still worried.

He also wanted to know whether this trip would bring good or bad fortune.

If there really is a problem, he can take precautions.

In the quiet room, Shen Yun closed the door and went to the table.

He took out the divination tube that he had previously obtained from the thief Jia Tian from the void bag.

He began to calculate Bai Yan'er's invitation to go on a journey to the wilderness.

He then took out two more source stones, put them into the divination tube, and bowed to the half-stick on the altar.

A light tap on the divination tube was accompanied by a soft shout.

"fall"

The divination sticks broke free of the silver film and fell into the tube, exactly seventy-two sticks, no more and no less, all of them disappearing into the divination tube.

"Connecting heaven and earth, establishing the universe... Stone and wood forever treasure the true meaning, a single hexagram clearly reveals the heavens and earth..."

After Shen Yun went through all the procedures, several bamboo sticks that popped out of the divination tube fell onto the table one by one.

[Great Evil]

Upon hearing the result, Shen Yun's face darkened, and his eyes grew even colder.

"This journey is one of no return; there's no way to resist!"

There was definitely something wrong with this, thankfully he refused.

There's something really wrong with Bai Yan'er!

Shen Yun was lost in thought, believing that he had not offended anyone.

He has always been kind to others.

Besides reporting on the demon race, he was also investigated by people suspected of being from the demon race.

However, the people from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau also investigated him.

However, the Heavenly Crafts Bureau would never take action against him, as this involves the very foundation of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau's existence.

Could they be demons?

For the next few days, Shen Yun stayed in the manor to cultivate and did not go out.

Life went on as usual, and nothing unusual happened.

A few days later, Bai Yan'er hurriedly arrived at No. 18 Qianlongfang again.

It disrupted the original peace.

"Brother Shen, I've come again to ask for your help." Then, Bai Yan'er added with a worried expression, "We went to the blessed land a few days ago..."

Bai Yan'er explained the situation there to Shen Yun in a simple and detailed manner.

It turned out that after Shen Yun rejected Bai Yan'er, she found a talisman master and a talisman array master to go treasure hunting and break the array together.

The Runestone Master is responsible for creating the Runestones that break the seal, while the Rune Array Master is responsible for indicating the release direction.

One of them was from the Holy Sect, and the other was from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau; they didn't know each other.

While joining forces to break the formation, they also checked and balanced each other.

However, it was ultimately a formation set up by the Blood Sea Realm, connected to the earth's veins. Even though it was on the verge of collapse, it was not so easy to break through.

The three tried for several days, but still couldn't break it open.

Fearing that it would cause too much of a stir, they had no choice but to return and have Bai Yan'er find another outside help.

Shen Yun understood; the implication was that he still wanted Shen Yun to come along.

If they attack simultaneously, they will definitely be able to break the formation.

Bai Yan'er was afraid that Shen Yun would refuse again, so she quickly continued, "I am very sincere."

The two auxiliary disciples traveling with me are You Feng, who cultivates array formations in the Holy Sect, and Chen Xin from the Talisman Hall of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace. You can check them out; they are both trustworthy people.

With Brother Shen joining us, this operation has at least an 80% chance of success!

"Brother Shen, come with me! We've seen quite a few good things amidst the flashing formations; we might reap a great reward!"

Bai Yan'er, once again using a coquettish tone, tried to get Shen Yun to make a move.

A chill ran through Shen Yun's heart.

He had previously divined a terrible omen, but when Bai Yan'er and the others went out, it did not come true.

They returned safely.

Doesn't this prove that this ominous sign wasn't specifically targeting him?

"Senior Sister Qingzhi had something she needed me to handle this time... I'll definitely do it next time!"

Shen Yun clearly sensed that something was wrong with Bai Yan'er and was very wary of her, so how could he possibly agree?

However, he didn't give her a cold rejection, but continued to play along with her in a roundabout way.

Having already realized the danger, directly exposing it would only turn on Bai Yan'er and put her on guard, without much benefit.

Moreover, Bai Yan'er doesn't seem very smart, so if she were to face a different enemy, she might be even more difficult to deal with.

Shen Yun decided to calm her down first, and then find out the reason before making any further decisions.

Bai Yan'er alone is not enough to cause a major ominous sign.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Bai Yan'er left, disappointed.

After leaving Shen Yun Manor, they quickly left Qianlongfang.

Bai Yan'er walked down the street, her face not looking too good.

He cursed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yun was so wary and afraid of death.

Cowardly as a mouse!

This plan to lure him out of the city has likely failed.

During this period, in an effort to befriend Shen Yun, she sold him so many auxiliary materials at low prices, but she still failed to achieve her goal.

This is true; Bai Yan'er's collaboration with Shen Yunwangyuezhai resulted in her earning absolutely nothing.

Sometimes they even have to pay out of their own Originium, essentially working for Shen Yun!

Damn it!

.....

[Senior Sister Qingzhi, I think I'm being watched. They've tried to lure me out several times. Could you help me investigate You Feng of the Holy Sect, Chen Xin of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau, and Bai Yan'er?]

After seeing Bai Yan'er off, Shen Yun immediately took out a communication stone and sent a message to Fairy Qingzhi.

[Okay, I'll investigate carefully. As long as you don't leave Qianlongfang, there won't be any problems.]

A reply came quickly from the other side.

Shen Yun put down the talisman. Fairy Qingzhi was a steward of the Law Enforcement Hall, so it would be easy for You Feng of the Holy Sect to investigate her.

Even for disciples of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau, it wouldn't be difficult.

Since the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace could exist peacefully within the Holy Sect's territory, it was naturally subject to regulation.

After informing Fairy Qingzhi, the message arrived very quickly.

The next day, Feng Lei Wind Power came to the door, and Shen Yun served them tea from the small pavilion surrounded by the pond.

The two came at the behest of Fairy Qingzhi.

They've been at the Holy Sect for almost a year now, and the two of them have reached the sixth level of the Body Nourishing Realm.

Wu Rou was promoted to a true disciple, the demon-hunting team was disbanded, and they returned to work for Fairy Qingzhi.

Feng Lei took out a booklet from his empty bag and respectfully handed it to Shen Yun.

"Uncle Shen, these are the things that Senior Sister Qingzhi asked us to bring. Everything you asked for has been investigated and is listed here."

Compared to before, the two of them have become increasingly respectful of Shen Yun.

Shen Yun took the booklet and chatted with Feng Lei and Feng Dian for a few minutes. He learned that the two of them had been secretly investigating Xiong Gang's connections, and the matter was quite complicated.

Then he started complaining to Shen Yun about everything that had happened recently.

According to them, Xiong Gang has a very complicated network of relationships, which has caused them to not have a proper rest for half a month.

Being sent to deliver the booklet to Shen Yun this time is a good opportunity to take a short rest.

After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Yun began to look through the results of his investigation in the booklet.

Fairy Qingzhi has already seen it.

Based on this available information, none of the three seem to have any problems.

Shen Yun himself also wanted to see it.

It seems that Chen Xin is fine; he is a talisman master from the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau.

The skill level is just so-so.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, he seems to be Bai Yan'er's sycophant, and it is worth mentioning that his family background is not bad.

As for the other two...

As Shen Yun scrolled through the information on You Feng and Bai Yan'er, especially their relationship online, he saw a name that left a deep impression on him.

Plain water fragrance!

Both of them had some kind of contact with Bai Shuixiang.

You Feng is directly under Bai Shuixiang's control, while Bai Yan'er has had contact with Bai Shuixiang.

Shen Yun frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of the people whose favorability ratings were similar to Xiong Gang's when the ancient scroll was used to test them at the True Disciple Banquet.

Xiong Gang has been confirmed to be a demon.

Shen Yun estimated that Elder Hu Lan, the second-tier rune array expert Bai Shuixiang, and the second-tier weapon forging expert Feng Shouyi were all about the same.

After all, a favorability rating of over -80 is rare, and they don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other.

Therefore, it seems that these people may all be working for the demon race.

Why would Bai Yan'er of Tiangong Mansion have contact with Bai Shuixiang?

Bai Yan'er... Bai Shuixiang...

"Could Bai Yan'er also be a demon? And that You Feng, it's hard to say either."

Shen Yun looked at the booklet in front of him with a very unpleasant expression.

Most people wouldn't be able to tell these things; they would just think they're normal.

Shen Yun was different; he knew the outcome.

Bai Shuixiang is a demon, there's something wrong with her!

Once you understand the results, deriving the process becomes much simpler.

If Bai Yan'er is also a demon, then everything makes sense; the demons are after Shen Yun.

This is a problem that Fairy Qingzhi discovered through her investigation of Xiong Gang.

Bai Yan'er first approached him by posing as a business partner, gaining his trust.

Then, under the pretext of searching for a blessed land, they lured him out of the city.

The so-called blessed land may actually be a trap.

Seeing Shen Yun examining the booklet so intently, Feng Lei and Feng Dian, who were standing nearby, did not make a sound to disturb him.

Instead, he leaned against the railing, watching the small fish swimming happily in the pond with a relaxed expression.

The koi carp stirred up ripples on the surface of the pond in the center.

A moment later, Shen Yun looked up at the two people beside him who seemed completely relaxed.

I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.

If this were their previous lives, the two of them would only be high school students at this age, and just watching Xiaoyu would make them feel happy and relaxed.

"Uncle Shen, Senior Sister Qingzhi said you can rest assured, she will take care of all these things for you."

Seeing Shen Yun's slightly worried expression, Feng Lei relayed Qingzhi Fairy's guarantee.

Moreover, these people have already left the Holy City, probably heading west of it, seemingly to search for treasure.

After staying there for a while, the two left.

Besides delivering the booklet, Fenglei Wind Power had other tasks to complete and couldn't stay any longer.

Shen Yun didn't tell the two of them his guess, but instead tapped the table lightly in thought.

He had not previously reported Hu Lan, Bai Shuixiang, and Feng Shouyi.

Because he had no reason.

Even if it were true, his report would likely arouse suspicion.

"How did you know that?" This single question alone is enough to pique the interest of many people.

Now, facing Bai Yan'er, Shen Yun is 80% certain that she is a demon.

Even if they are not demons, they are still related to demons.

It's not easy to directly report Hu Lan and the others; the demon race's secrets aren't easy to uncover, and Shen Yun has no reason to do so.

But Bai Yan'er's situation was much simpler; Shen Yun could just make up a reason out of thin air.

In any case, Fairy Qingzhi trusted Shen Yun more than Bai Yan'er.

Given the previous incident of reporting Xiong Gang, Fairy Qingzhi is definitely interested in Bai Yan'er.

This boosted her sales performance.

Besides, even if it's fake, it won't cause any major harm.

Shen Yun did not report it directly. In the evening, he called a dragon-scale carriage and went to the Holy Treasure Pavilion.

I selected a demon-testing disc from the Sacred Treasure Pavilion, priced at 500 Origin Stones.

After returning home, Shen Yun and Su Wan'er ate dinner and then went back to their meditation room to cultivate, acting as if nothing had happened.

No matter when or what situation you face, you must not forget to practice daily.

This is what I truly rely on.

After taking out the Dragon Elephant Muscle-Melting Ointment, he casually applied a little and began to absorb the energy.

Although it's only 60 points of progress each day, it adds up.

He had already broken through to the Great Completion stage just four days ago.

[Flesh Heaven Technique (Mastery 180/1)] +60

......

The following days passed peacefully without Bai Yan'er's interference, and Shen Yun continued his steady progress as usual.

Bai Yan'er seems to have really gone out of the city on an adventure; there has been no trace of her in the Holy City for the past few days.

When Shen Yun woke up that morning, he saw a message from Fairy Qingzhi.

Bai Yan'er returned to the Holy City with two sycophants and a talisman master from the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace.

The group genuinely looked like they had just returned from a treasure hunt.

"It does seem quite plausible." Shen Yun shook his head and smiled.

Whether it's a trap or a truly blessed place, he would rather die than go there.

Because Shen Yun had consulted the oracle again, and it was still considered very unlucky.

His arrival brought great misfortune, while Bai Yan'er and the others gained something from their trip.

It would be strange if there weren't ghosts!

While Fairy Qingzhi was still investigating, Bai Yan'er came to deliver the goods again in the afternoon.

There's never a moment's rest!

Shen Yun received Bai Yan'er in the courtyard.

He secretly hid the demon-detecting disc under the table from the void bag, waiting for Bai Yan'er's arrival.

Several other protective runes were kept in his bosom, ready to be activated at any time.

"Brother Shen, you can sell these auxiliary materials first. I won't be in town these few days, it's a pity you didn't go..."

As they talked, Bai Yan'er steered the conversation back to exploring the blessed land.
