Chapter 322 After the Terrorist Attack

A hundred miles away, in the small town of Jingle at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain.

In a room of an inn, an old Taoist was meditating with his eyes closed on a cushion.

Suddenly, an oil lamp in front of him went out without wind.

This oil lamp was different from ordinary oil lamps. It was enough to prolong Yan Jiansheng's life because there were two wicks burning inside.

The old Taoist was a little confused. He tried several times but couldn't relight it. His expression gradually became gloomy.

"It seems that they are both dead."

The old Taoist was surprised but not surprised. He knew that there were many masters in that place. Once the hijacking plan went wrong, the probability of his two souls escaping would be infinitely close to zero.

He took out a new wick and put it in the oil lamp to light it.

Then he cast a spell, and pictures appeared in his mind.

"Huh?" The old Taoist's expression gradually became surprised.

Seeing that the hijacking plan went very smoothly in the early stage, he thought that the barrier failed to unfold smoothly and his soul was besieged and killed by masters. Or the innate ancestor of Taoxian Mansion took action and killed his soul with thunder.

As a result, he never expected that an unexpected Blood Demon kid would use the power of Taoyuan's protection to take advantage of the trapped Dharma image and forcibly kill the flesh body in which his two souls were parasitic.

"I failed at the last minute! It's fate! It's a pity that I paid the price of two souls, and I couldn't even test whether the old thing Tao Fu Zhenren was dead or not."

"What should I do?"

The old Taoist calculated that there was still about half a month of window period for Taoyuan's protection. If he wanted, he could send another soul to sneak in and cause trouble.

Although he certainly couldn't get the ancestral treasure he wanted, at least he could assassinate the Blood Demon kid who ruined his business and relieve his hatred.

He pinched his fingers a few times and made a little divination.

"It's uncertain? That's it. It's not easy to refine my soul. Each one requires hundreds of soul cultivation in the realm of controlling things.

Why waste another soul just to vent your anger!"

The old Taoist sat down cross-legged and continued to close his eyes and meditate.

He had been against Taoyuan City for many years, and every time he appeared, Madam Zhuohua would feel like a thorn in her throat. It was this determination that made him never impulsive. He didn't mind waiting for another nine years.

...

The sudden hijacking incident did not have too much negative impact on the Taoxian Festival, at least on the surface.

There were not many casualties in this incident. The casualties outside Taoxian Mansion were mainly the group of unlucky monks who were killed by the Xuanhuai Patriarch as an example.

Taoxian Mansion lost two loyal late-stage Sun Tour Realm warriors, which was a big loss.

After that, it was compensation. All the hostages in the barrier at that time received a certain amount of compensation.

The compensation for the dead was divided according to the realm, ranging from 10 to 50 pieces of Xuan crystals.

Among the hostages, those in the Yuwu Realm and Yeyou Realm could get one to four pieces of Xuan crystals, and those in the Konghuan Realm could get 500 taels of gold.

Many people were only tied up for a short time and they were compensated. Taoxian Mansion, as the holy land of soul cultivation in Yunzhou, was very generous.

Of course, Taoxian Mansion did this to suppress the adverse effects of the terrorist attack and allow the celebration to continue.

The next day.

The battle that was delayed for one day was held as usual, and there were even more spectators than yesterday.

The masters of the soul division realm of various sects also gathered in the VIP room to watch their own geniuses at close range to prevent any more accidents.

As one of the main contributors to the resolution of the terrorist attack crisis, Gu Xia was now lying on the bed, feeling a little anxious.

After a long time, he sat up and planned to drink a cup of tea to calm his mind.

Then, someone outside the door immediately said: "Does Mr. Ye need anything?"

"Nothing, I'll drink some tea, you guys can leave."

"Okay."

Gu Xia picked up the tea and drank it all, and his heart was suddenly much calmer.

"It's worthy of being the famous tea of ​​Taoxian Mansion. If there's nothing else, I'll ask Li Qingyun for two pounds."

At this moment, Gu Xia's body was in a weak state due to the use of the blood burning technique, which is estimated to last for more than half a month.

However, Gu Xia's anxiety was not because of the sharp drop in combat power, but because he was not in the inn now, but in the VIP reception room deep in the inner city of Taoxian Mansion.

There were a bunch of masters outside the door, even a deputy commander of the Wulingwei in the marrow transformation realm and two masters in the day tour realm.

Taoxian Mansion said that it was to prevent people from the Spiritual Medicine Valley from lurking and waiting for revenge, but Gu Xia didn't know whether it was protection or surveillance.

If he had been upright before, he wouldn't have worried about anything.

It's just that this time he used the blood demon Xuan Gong to kill the Xuanhuai Patriarch.

Although Taoyuan Shelter was shielded by the Black Sky Barrier at that time, and Xingchen used the power of Taoling to disguise all the blood demon Xuanli, he was still worried that Taoxian Mansion would detect some traces afterwards.

This Gu Xia might also be able to argue that there were Origin Cultists among the terrorists.

But Gu Xia also did something that he couldn't explain. When the energy in the Taoxian Guardian Ring was exhausted, he used his two blood lotuses to recharge the Taoyuan Guardian.

The ring was not picky and could be charged with any type of mysterious energy.

It was because he consumed two Origin Glass Crystals worth ten thousand people that he had the power to turn the tables.

But now the question is, will Taoxian Mansion detect that he used Origin Glass Crystals to recharge the ring?

That's why Gu Xia was uneasy and even wanted to run away.

As a result, Taoxian Mansion didn't give him a chance and took him back to the depths of the inner city and asked experts to take care of him.

Gu Xia was so anxious that three days passed quickly.

The celebrations were held as usual these days, and Taoxian Mansion also offered discounts on various products, which increased the daily turnover by several percent, and the compensation paid for the terrorist attack was almost earned back.

And Taoxian Mansion also treated Gu Xia well, except for not letting him leave, and all other requests were met without any delay.

…

That morning.

Knock, knock, knock!

Someone knocked on Gu Xia's door.

"Come in!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and several people came in. The two people in the lead were Li Qingyun and Li Lingyan, the master and servant.

Li Qingyun saluted.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, I'm here to visit you."
