Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

The next morning, as soon as Wan Yi opened the door, he saw a figure riding a black magical artifact, hurriedly leaving the mortuary.

Who else could it be but Qian Zhuo?

They seem to be in such a hurry that they really need to collect spirit stones.

So, does that mean Chen Zizhi is already being imprisoned in the cellar by him?

Wan Yi stood at the door and glanced into the courtyard.

Although he knew that Chen Zizhi was currently being held captive in the cellar of the morgue by Qian Zhuo.

But he had no idea where the cellar was.

However, if I'm going to report it myself, instead of going to rescue someone personally, why bother looking for a cellar?

All we need to know is that the person is in the morgue.

The time has come; it's time to carry out the whistleblowing program.

Without further hesitation, Wan Yi left the Corpse-Sewing Room, found a secluded spot, took out the Apricot Yellow Boat from his storage bag, and transformed into a streak of light, flying swiftly towards the Corpse Puppet Hall.

In no time at all, Wan Yi arrived at the Corpse Puppet Palace.

Upon entering the first-floor lobby of the Corpse Puppet Hall, his gaze immediately fell upon the notice board on one side of the lobby.

If the Chen family wants to find Chen Zizhi, they'll probably issue a bounty.

Wan Yi squeezed to the front of the notice board and began to browse carefully, his eyes quickly scanning each task.

Not long after, he found the task he was looking for.

A prominent reward notice is posted on the bulletin board.

They were searching for Chen Zizhi's whereabouts.

Sure enough, there was a bounty mission.

Wan Yi was secretly delighted.

So, as long as you accept the task, you can report Qian Zhuo.

However, the risks must also be taken into account.

If Qian Zhuo had relied on the protagonist's divine power to avoid being killed by the Chen family, and instead found out that it was he who reported him.

Then I'll be in big trouble.

Being targeted by a main character means you're definitely not going to have a good time.

Although he had already set his sights on her and intended to use her as material for puppet making.

But Wan Yi didn't want to attract more hatred.

Only by remaining behind the scenes can one exert a greater influence on the situation.

Thinking about this, Wan Yi began to ponder.

I need to find a way to both report Qian Zhuo and hide in the shadows so that Qian Zhuo can't find me.

I wish someone could report it for me.

But I don't know anyone in the sect...

Just then, a familiar figure came into view.

Jiang Chuan was seen busy behind the counter.

Wan Yi instantly had an idea.

Senior Brother Jiang Chuan, I'm about to give you a great achievement.

A perfect plan took shape in Wan Yi's mind.

Imagine a disciple working in the mortuary accidentally witnessing the head of the mortuary doing dirty work. He then confides in a trusted senior brother and inadvertently reveals that the head of the mortuary is involved with the missing direct descendant of the Chen family.

So, how would a disciple of the Demonic Sect, who is solely driven by profit, act?

The answer doesn't seem too hard to guess.

Wan Yi pretended to be troubled and slowly walked up to Jiang Chuan.

When Jiang Chuan saw Wan Yi approaching, a warm smile appeared on his face: "Oh, Junior Brother Wan, what brings you here?"

"Could it be that we've come to receive a new mission?"

"Look at you, all gloomy. Was the mortuary sewing task your senior brother introduced you to the other day not good enough?"

Wan Yi lowered his head, feigning a hesitant and troubled expression, and sighed:

"Senior Brother Jiang, the tasks in the mortuary are not bad, and you can earn a lot of contribution points. It's just that... I encountered something last night and I'm feeling very uneasy. I'd like to ask you for some advice."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan became curious. Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many people in the Corpse Puppet Hall and he had nothing else to do, he pulled Wan Yi to a quiet corner and asked in a low voice:

"What happened?"

"Tell me what you need. If I can help, I will."

Wan Yi raised his head, his eyes full of hesitation, and said cautiously:

"Senior brother, I accidentally bumped into Senior Brother Qian Zhuo in the backyard of the mortuary last night. It seems he was doing dirty work in private, secretly disposing of the corpses of other disciples, and he was acting very suspiciously."

"I was terrified, but I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that he would find out and retaliate against me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan did not show any surprise on his face.

The morgue is a place for disposing of corpses, so it's not surprising that Qian Zhuo would dispose of corpses for others in private.

He had heard some rumors before, but there was never any concrete evidence.

Jiang Chuan immediately started making plans in his mind.

As the head of the mortuary, Qian Zhuo's act of privately disposing of the corpses of disciples within the sect is a serious crime that violates the sect's rules.

If we can find evidence, whether it's to blackmail Qian Zhuo into giving us benefits or to report him directly to the Enforcement Hall and seek a reward, we can make a fortune.

This is practically a gift delivered to our doorstep!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan quickly pressed Wan Yi, "Junior brother, think carefully again, did you hear anything else last night?"

"For example, who was that corpse?"

"Are there any special characteristics?"

"As long as I can find evidence, I will go to the Enforcement Hall and report this matter. I will be able to severely punish that scoundrel Qian Zhuo and ensure your safety, preventing him from retaliating against you."

Wan Yi was secretly delighted.

Become!

This guy really fell for it.

Wan Yi deliberately frowned, looking as if deep in thought, and slowly said:

"I was hiding in the shadows at the time, not daring to get too close, and I didn't hear much noise. I only vaguely heard Qian Zhuo, the person in charge, talking to a cultivator whose face I couldn't see. He said that the corpse was something like Senior Sister Chen's, and that we must handle it properly and not let the news leak out, or we would get into big trouble."

Jiang Chuan frowned when he heard the words "Senior Sister Chen".

Why does that sound so familiar...?

He pondered for a moment, then his expression changed instantly.

Could it be Chen Zizhi?!

Chen Zizhi was a direct descendant of the Chen family in Yandang Valley.

The Chen family is a Foundation Establishment family, and their ancestors were disciples of the sect.

Today, everyone in the sect, from outer disciples to Foundation Establishment cultivators, is a member of the Chen family.

Its power is immense.

Chen Zizhi disappeared yesterday, and the Chen family has even issued a reward for information leading to her whereabouts.

Could it really be her?

The more Jiang Chuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the more excited he became.

After all, there weren't many places inside the gate to dispose of corpses.

There are even fewer outside the gate.

I never expected that Qian Zhuo would get involved in Chen Zizhi's disappearance.

This is simply courting death.

If I could inform the Chen family about this, I could both receive the mission reward and curry favor with them.

Perhaps they can even gain the favor of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Chen family, and naturally, there will be many benefits to their cultivation within the sect in the future.

However, the most important thing right now is to stabilize Wan Yi.

Jiang Chuan quickly patted Wan Yi on the shoulder, his tone serious: "Junior brother, this matter is of utmost importance. You should go back to the mortuary immediately and pretend that nothing happened. Under no circumstances should you tell anyone about this, and you should not let Qian Zhuo notice anything unusual."

"Leave the rest to your senior brother."

Wan Yi nodded quickly: "I will do whatever you say, Senior Brother. I will keep my mouth shut and will not divulge a single word."

But just as he turned to leave, Jiang Chuan suddenly called him back, took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag, and handed them to him with a hint of concern in his voice:

"Junior brother, if Qian Zhuo notices anything amiss, he will definitely try to harm you. Take this stack of talismans; they can save your life in a critical moment."

Wan Yi took the talisman, looked down at it, and was somewhat speechless.

This so-called life-saving talisman was actually just a basic talisman, not even a low-grade talisman.

Each attack is at most equivalent to a full-force strike from a cultivator specializing in fetal breathing.

Jiang Chuan is far too stingy.

You're just fooling yourself with this stuff.

But Wan Yi had already achieved his goal, yet he still wore a grateful expression on his face:

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I will never forget your great kindness."
