The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma?

Xia Chuan and his two companions entered the restaurant, ordered several servings of mutton soup, and sat down on the second floor.

While waiting, Gao Haoguang leaned against the window.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, he asked in a puzzled tone:

"Are there really Nirvana corpses here?"

This doesn't seem like it at all. Could it be that that guy has already left?

Xia Chuan sighed, flicked Gao Haoguang's forehead with his finger, the force neither too light nor too heavy, producing a crisp "snap":

"Stupid Gray Cub."

Have you forgotten Senior Zhao Yan?

Sanchuan Town is less than a third the size of Xi'an, and from a distance, it doesn't look peaceful at all.

He looked at the crowds coming and going on the street and sighed.

"In the end, in this day and age, it's not surprising at all that someone dies in the gutter."

Everyone fell silent.

Gao Haoguang rubbed his forehead, which had been flicked red, and remained silent.

Xia Chuan shook his head and pushed a steaming bowl of mutton soup in front of him:

Let's not talk about this anymore.

We still need to wait for information from the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

Just like Sanchuan Town, if it weren't for the Wu family's bounty and Senior Zhao Yan's voluntary appearance, we don't know how long it would have taken to find him.

He was determined to escape, and we really couldn't do anything about it.

He glanced at the theater across the street and lowered his voice:

"It would be bad to alert the enemy rashly."

Gao Haoguang nodded knowingly, picked up the bowl, and took a sip of soup.

Hai Shan sat opposite Xia Chuan, breaking open a steamed bun while watching Chu Kui perform in the theater across the street, his movements unhurried and relaxed.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke:

"Senior brother, do you think there's something wrong with this Chu Kui?"

Xia Chuan nodded.

Hai Shan hesitated for a moment, put down the steamed bun in his hand, and said seriously:

"Actually, I don't think Chu Kui has any particularly big problems."

He must be a self-taught seeker of the Dharma.

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow: "A wild seeker of the Dharma?"

Hai Shan nodded:

"It's a guy who doesn't have a master, but by chance receives the inheritance, and happens to have the talent of a seeker of the Dharma."

His cultivation level was relatively low, and he was completely ignorant of the common knowledge of the supernatural world.

He looked at Gao Haoguang:

"To be honest, if we don't have the same month order, Brother Haoguang and you guys are pretty much the same as wild seekers of the Dharma."

Gao Haoguang glared at him, clearly annoyed.

"You idiot, Haishan!"

Hai Shan ignored him and continued:

"Secondly, it is based on information from the Thousand Machines Hall."

Chu Kui is a native of Xi'an. After growing up, he traveled all over the country with his troupe, leaving his mark everywhere.

Xia Chuan nodded.

This is indeed a piece of evidence that can significantly reduce suspicion, after all, the Nirvana Corpse they are looking for only recently awakened.

"and."

Hai Shan spoke slowly, a thoughtful glint in his heterochromatic eyes.

"Don't you think the person he's looking for looks somewhat similar to the Nirvana Corpse we're looking for?"

Gao Haoguang was startled:

"You mean, his earlier appearance wasn't just a performance?"

Xia Chuan thoughtfully:

"That's possible."

But why is Chu Kui looking for the Nirvana Corpse?

As I was pondering, I heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell.

Jin Miao, along with Bai Xiaoxiao and Hu Dasheng, hurried up, looking anxious, with a layer of fine sweat on their foreheads.

"Everyone, we have news."

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

Jin Miao sat down and took the teapot handed to her by the waiter.

I poured myself a glass, gulped it down, and only then did I catch my breath.

She put down her teacup, her expression grave.

"According to reports from our companions in the city, a place called the Immortal Pavilion has recently appeared in the city."

They would open the door in the middle of the night, and every man who went there looked haggard.

Even after leaving, I couldn't forget that place.

Upon hearing this, Hai Shan was greatly alarmed:

"Could it be that kind of thing?"

If a pedestrian accidentally enters, their vital energy will be drained by the thing hidden there.

What if you couldn't find the place when you woke up the next day?

Gao Haoguang gasped.

He had only ever seen such eerie places in picture books.

I never expected that the Nirvana Corpse I encountered this time would use such methods.

No wonder the Three Truths Pursuit of Emptiness Seal sometimes appears and sometimes disappears.

"What are you thinking?"

Jin Miao looked at the two of them with a rather strange expression:

"That was a brothel."

The two of them were immediately stunned.

Gao Haoguang's lips twitched, and he lowered his head to drink his soup to hide his embarrassment.

Jin Miao continued:

"A body that had been drained of its life force was recently found in that place."

She narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice even further.

"Perhaps it's related to the Nirvana Corpse we're looking for."

Xia Chuan put down his chopsticks:

"Are you still sure that guy is in the city?"

Jin Miao nodded:

"The last time the Three Truths Pursuit of Emptiness Seal was activated, it pointed to this city of Xi'an."

The other party has been staying here for seven days, seemingly waiting or searching for something.

Xia Chuan frowned.

What are they looking for?

Gao Haoguang's eyes lit up: "That could be our opportunity!"

Jin Miao sighed: "But we also have some bad news."

Natsukawa: "What bad news?"

Jin Miao tapped her fingers lightly twice on the table:

"Not long ago, five drops of true blood of myriad karmas descended in this vicinity and transformed into five Dharma corpses."

It seems that the Nine Realms Gate used some kind of remote means to bring the five newly born Dharma Corpses to this location.

She paused, her gaze turning serious:

"In other words, the one we encountered at the Immortal Pavilion."

It may not be the powerful, magical corpse we are searching for.

Hai Shan asked, "So, what does Your Excellency mean?"

Jin Miaoyi gritted her teeth:

"What I mean is, let's focus on finding that great supernatural being first."

If you find a medium-level magical corpse, release it.

"Once we find the great supernatural being, everything will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Gao Haoguang and Bai Xiaoxiao's expressions changed.

What Nirvana Corpse doesn't eat people?

If the Nirvana Corpse is left unattended...

Gao Haoguang reacted violently, slamming his hand on the table, causing the bowls and plates to jump.

"Isn't this just letting them eat people in the city?"

Jin Miao looked helpless:

"But if we attack that intermediate-level Nirvana Corpse, wouldn't that just cause the advanced-level Nirvana Corpse to flee at the mere sight of us?"

She looked at Gao Haoguang and patiently explained:

"Once the other party leaves Xi'an."

Finding it again next time will be incredibly difficult.

Gao Haoguang was speechless for a moment.

"This is the only option. Between two evils, choose the lesser."

Hai Shan sighed.

He could understand Jin Miao's actions, after all, the Great Divine Power Nirvana Corpse was not something that could be compared to several Middle Divine Powers combined.

Their top priority is indeed to find that great supernatural being.

To put it bluntly, their only mission is to find that mysterious leader; the lives of ordinary people can be disregarded.

As everyone remained locked in a stalemate, Xia Chuan's voice could be heard.

"There's no need for such trouble."

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up:

"I have a plan."

He looked at Jin Miao: "Those Nirvana Corpses were summoned by the Nine Realms Gate, weren't they?"

Jin Miao nodded, not quite sure why Xia Chuan asked that question.

Xia Chuan seemed lost in thought, slowly drawing circles on the table with his finger:

"But now, the people from the Nine Realms Gate aren't in the city?"

Jin Miao nodded blankly:

"With the sect leader taking action earlier, naturally no disciple of the Nine Realms Sect would dare to linger."

Xia Chuan's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh:

"The Nine Realms Gate has left."

Why don't we become the Nine Realms Gate?
