Chapter 184 Wan Xiulin, Trouble Comes Knocking

"How did he survive?"

"I don't know."

Su Wuchen and Zhao Fei stared at each other, completely baffled. They had just been slashed by the assassins and were lying in a pool of blood, so how did they suddenly get up perfectly fine?

This is so strange!

Not only Su Wuchen and his companion found it strange, but many onlookers also showed surprise when they saw the woman in sunglasses stand up.

"How did she come back to life?"

"Could she be a theater choreographer?"

"She must be a magician. I remember magicians have a technique called 'substitute bride,' which can transfer injuries to other objects when in danger!"

"A substitute bride?"

The whispers of the surrounding crowd reached Su Wuchen and his companion's ears.

The two couldn't help but feel a bit curious about this strange technique.

If she could transfer her injuries to other objects when in danger, she would naturally be unharmed.

"I never expected that Xi Xiu would have such methods; it's truly unbelievable."

Su Wuchen smacked his lips. With such heaven-defying magic, wouldn't that mean he could always escape danger when attacked by others?

Zhao Fei: "This technique is somewhat abnormal; it will inevitably have very serious consequences."

"Like those forbidden techniques?"

Su Wuchen turned his head to look at Zhao Fei and understood what he meant.

If such a heaven-defying technique didn't have extremely strong side effects, wouldn't Xi Xiu be an invincible existence?

In reality, however, the path of cultivation is a very niche one. Even the thieves we encountered before were far more powerful than those who practiced the path of cultivation.

Zhao Fei: "That must be it."

The woman in sunglasses questioned the two captured assassins, but it seemed she didn't get any information out of them.

At the same time.

The constables from Tiandu City have arrived.

After quickly understanding the situation, the head constable immediately detained the two assassins and took them away.

What exactly they're going to do is self-evident.

On the main street of Tiandu, someone actually carried out an assassination attempt. We must find out the details of the perpetrator.

Otherwise, Tiandu will inevitably be labeled as having poor public security.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at Wanxiulin."

Having witnessed the power and strangeness of the Xi Xiu, Su Wuchen couldn't wait to go to the Wan Xiu Forest.

Wanxiu Forest is a very unique place in Tiandu City.

What makes it unique is that within the Ten Thousand Cultivation Forest, one can observe the battle traces of many powerful cultivators.

This naturally includes the actor who plays the role!

Zhao Fei did not refuse Su Wuchen's suggestion.

Because of this internal competition, no one knows who their opponents will be; at least, no one has released any information from above.

If they don't understand the strengths and weaknesses of different types of cultivators, they might encounter opponents like the "playful cultivator."

Once they encounter the enemy, how should they defeat them?

This is a headache.

The reason why Wanxiu Forest is called a forest is because the methods of various cultivators are recorded here, just like a tree, hence the name.

Su Wuchen and his companion paid the money and entered the Wanxiu Forest.

Before one's eyes, there were cultivators sitting cross-legged in front of strange trees that looked like wooden stakes, practicing their cultivation.

According to the rules of Wanxiulin, the price varies for each path of cultivation.

The most basic Buddhist cultivation, martial arts cultivation, and immortal cultivation are the cheapest, requiring only a few thousand yuan to view.

However, some obscure cultivation methods are very expensive.

Su Wuchen and his companion wandered around the Ten Thousand Cultivation Forest. Su Wuchen quickly discovered the cultivation methods of the Thieves' Sect.

The price is very high; it costs 30,000 yuan to practice in front of the Dharma stake for just one hour!

"The methods of thieves?"

Zhao Fei glanced at the inscription on the ritual stake and said with a smile, "Why are you interested in this?"

"I just happened to find it here and took a look around."

Su Wuchen casually remarked, then gestured towards the cultivators sitting cross-legged in front of the Thieves' Sect's ritual pillars, "It seems quite a few people have been patronized by the Thieves' Sect's cultivators."

Zhao Fei whispered, "Don't forget, quite a few people have come to Tiandu these past two days. Who knows if any of them are from the Thieves' Guild?"

The busier the place, the more likely there is to be thieves.

Only a lively, large-scale event can attract passersby to watch, thus making it easier for thieves to carry out their schemes.

Nowadays, it's hard to say that these people aren't checking the thief's seals to prevent their belongings from being mysteriously stolen by thieves.

after all.

Most cultivators keep their wealth in their storage bags.

If the door is stolen, all the money and treasures you've worked so hard to accumulate will be gone.

Compared to tens of thousands of yuan, personal wealth is undoubtedly more important.

"I just checked, and the ritual stakes for the opera are right ahead. Shall we go take a look?"

"Walk."

Su Wuchen nodded and arrived with Zhao Fei in front of the magic stake of the opera cultivator.

fifty thousand!

The price is indeed very high, even higher than the price of the thieves' gang's magic stakes!

"have a look?"

"look."

The two paid the money and then sat down in front of the ritual stake.

Immediately, a figure appeared in front of Su Wuchen. It was a cultivator, but his appearance and gender were unclear.

But the next second, the other person's appearance became clear, and it turned out to be Su Wuming.

Su Wuchen frowned without realizing it. What was going on?

Just as Su Wuchen was filled with doubt, Su Wuming walked up to him with a smile. "Brother, I have prepared some protective talismans for you. Please accept them."

Su Wuchen curiously accepted the storage bag handed to him by Su Wuming.

Upon opening it, Su Wuchen was even more bewildered.

Inside the storage bag, there were indeed some talismans, including familiar ones like the Qi-gathering talisman, as well as many unfamiliar ones.

"Brother, I'm already in the Immortal Sect, which is enough to ensure my safety. But your cultivation is too weak. Keep these talismans. If you encounter any trouble you can't handle, you can use these talismans to protect yourself, and then I'll deal with it!"

Looking at Su Wuming's sincere face, Su Wuchen couldn't help but think of the armor Su Wuming had prepared for him before.

Just then, Su Wuming suddenly raised his hand and plunged a dagger into his heart.

Su Wuchen was so startled that his anus tightened instantly. When he looked at Su Wuming again, the other party was not Su Wuming at all, but the strange person whose appearance was unclear and whose gender could not be distinguished before.

this----

"The actor is unpredictable; he could be your enemy, or he could be your family!"

The sound that rang in his ears made Su Wuchen suddenly realize what was going on.

This method doesn't teach people how to guard against charlatanry through demonstration, but rather lets them know the terrifying nature of charlatanry through direct experience.

A qualified actor can portray a thousand different characters with a thousand different expressions; that's what's truly terrifying.

If you become his enemy and are targeted by him, he is very likely to transform into anyone around him and launch an attack!

There are indeed some tricks to it.

Su Wuchen nodded to himself, and then he became curious about why the Xi Xiu could transfer his injuries to other objects.

The moment this thought arose in Su Wuchen's mind, the figure in front of him revealed its true form.

An ordinary-looking monk.

Under Su Wuchen's gaze, the other party removed a strand of their hair and, using their blood as a medium, tied it to a puppet.

Su Wuchen's heart stirred. Was this the so-called secret technique of acting and substituting for marriage?

Suddenly, a cultivator appeared and pierced the former's heart with a single sword strike before disappearing without a trace.

But the next second, Xi Xiu, whose heart had been pierced, did not die. Instead, he stood up from the pool of blood, his face deathly pale. The puppet he had used to shield himself from the disaster was now shattered into pieces.

Is it just the loss of a puppet?

wrong!

Su Wuchen keenly noticed that Xi Xiu's aura had weakened considerably.

It's like a seriously ill patient who has just undergone surgery and is being wheeled out of the ICU.

really.

Su Wuchen immediately smiled; his and Zhao Fei's guesses were correct.

Xi Xiu did indeed have a way to save his life, but it was also extremely taxing. Although the puppet saved him from certain death, his body was severely damaged as a result.

If it happens again, you'll surely die!

and so.

The strongest way for a cultivator to kill an enemy is through unpredictable and daring attacks. As for methods of self-preservation, although they are somewhat peculiar, they are not invincible.

After figuring out the methods of the cultivator, Su Wuchen ended his cultivation and opened his eyes to see Zhao Fei deep in thought.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking about how much money Wan Xiulin brings to Tiandu every day."

"————?"

Su Wuchen looked astonished.

To my utter surprise, Zhao Fei was thinking about this.

Why do you say that?

"Why can't they just build a training room and put all the contents of these meditation postures there?"

Zhao Fei said speechlessly, "Look at this, they charged us 50,000 yuan just for explaining these two methods."

"This is simply exploiting people."

If that's the case, it doesn't seem wrong.

After all, the construction of a Dharma stake only requires the cost of basic construction, but once completed, it can generate a continuous stream of income.

If you don't want to be tricked by other cultivators, you need to figure out their methods.

Those with sects are a little better off, as they can pass on the knowledge by word of mouth and be careful and vigilant. But for people like them who don't belong to any sect, they can only spend money to come here to study.

However, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of cultivation methods.

Every cultivation method can yield a substantial harvest.

"This was done by the higher-ups."

Su Wuchen simply said one sentence and then said nothing more.

Zhao Fei shrugged and said no more.

"Let's go check out the others, just in case."

"good!"

Two hours later, Su Wuchen and Zhao Fei emerged from Wanxiu Forest.

The unique cultivation methods in Wanxiu Forest truly broadened Su Wuchen and his companion's horizons, giving them a certain understanding of some strange and unusual techniques.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Zhao Fei was extremely confident about this internal competition.

"I think you want to stay in Tiandu."

"Don't you want to?"

"Hard to say."

Su Wuchen laughed heartily, and the two walked side by side toward the headquarters of the Inspection Department.

Upon returning to the headquarters of the Inspection Department, Su Wuchen and his companion immediately sensed that something was amiss, especially in the courtyard area where the Inspection Department members from Huzhou were located, where there was a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

During this time, some people from the Inspection Department pointed at them and whispered among themselves.

"Something happened?"

Su Wuchen and Zhao Fei exchanged a glance, both realizing the problem.

Su Wuchen immediately headed towards the courtyard. As he approached, he saw some colleagues gathered outside the courtyard who had not yet left.

"What's wrong?"

"Su Wuchen, you're finally back."

"Someone is causing trouble in your yard."

"What the heck?"

Su Wuchen was somewhat bewildered.

make trouble?

Are you causing trouble in my yard?

Do you want to die?

Seeing this, Wu Feiyu said with a smile, "I heard that the person your cousin beat up seems to be the young master of the Fuzhou Inspection Department."

isn't it?

Su Wuchen was greatly surprised. He had only been gone for a short while, so how could he have caused trouble?

"The people from Fuzhou have already gone to see the director."

Zhang Quan whispered, "Should we go find Lord Zhou?"

Su Wuchen frowned, thanked them, and then walked through the crowd into the courtyard.

Inside the room, Long Yujun was busy playing a game, but it wasn't the game he had played before; it was Nine Suns United.

Besides--

Who are these two people?

Su Wuchen pointed in astonishment at the two men who had been tied up and thrown to the ground by Long Yujun, and asked, "How did they get here?"

Long Yujun turned and glanced at him, saying, "These two guys were rude and I taught them a lesson. You can handle it when you get back."

Su Wuchen:

Okay.

They not only beat the person up, but also detained them.

No wonder those people were still gathered outside the courtyard, especially Wu Feiyu, who clearly wanted to watch the show.

Su Wuchen looked at the two guys on the ground. They stared at him with wide eyes, as if to say, "Let me go!"

popping.

Su Wuchen stepped forward and slapped the two people on the ground several times.

The sudden slap knocked the two people on the ground unconscious.

Long Yujun was also somewhat surprised, "What are you doing?"

Su Wuchen said calmly, "They spoke rudely, so naturally they need to be taught a lesson!"

Long Yujun gave Su Wuchen a strange look. "Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble by doing this?"

Su Wuchen immediately laughed. At this point, why be afraid of causing trouble?

Even if he sincerely apologizes and sends them away, it might be too late.

"It's alright."

Su Wuchen shook his head. "Since they spoke rudely to you, it's only right to teach them a lesson."

Even if Lord Zhou asks, we will not panic at all.

"Su Wuchen, get out here right now."

Just then, an angry voice came from outside the courtyard. Judging from the tone, it must be those people from Fuzhou who had arrived, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant.

Long Yujun suddenly stood up, but Su Wuchen stopped him with a raised hand, "Don't rush, I'll go out and take a look first."

If Long Yujun were to actually show up, who knows what kind of commotion it would cause.
