Chapter 70: Bi Luo Mansion’s Token

Jiuyuan mountain range.

Liu Yuan stood in the air, looking down from the top of a relatively high mountain. Compared to the map in the game, there was not much difference in the terrain. There were only some differences in the details, so it would take time to identify.

For Liu Yuan, this memory was already a little blurry, and it was more troublesome to recall.

“It should be around the right direction from here.”

Liu Yuan looked at the final confirmed location and flew forward. Many of the remains here were quite small. They were basically the corpses and items left behind by people who died here. There was a chance of dropping equipment if they encountered monsters.

For example, there was a chance that he would meet a Psychic Monkey and end up becoming enemies with a group of monkeys after drinking monkey wine.

This time, he had learned his lesson. He first used his perception to clean up the surroundings to make sure that nothing strange would suddenly pop out. Then, he separated the vines and grass and found a broken skeleton buried in soil and weeds, and a longbow beside it.

The body of the bow was black and carved with red cloud patterns. Compared to its original owner, it was bright and beautiful, and was well-preserved.

Liu Yuan first cleaned up the remains and reburied them before taking the Scarlet Cloud bow. After all, he had taken someone else’s things. It would be too immoral to say that he did nothing. At least, he had to help clean up the remains.

However, when he was cleaning up, he found a token under the bones and clothes.

“Is this the token of… Bi Luo Mansion?”

Liu Yuan was holding a small token in his hand. It was about five centimeters long and one centimeter wide. It was shaped like a small piece of metal, with the number ’37’ on it. It was also the code name of an ordinary member, like Lady Wan’s number 11, or Ding Liu’s number 6.

It was not unusual for the people of Bi Luo Mansion to die anywhere, and this man had been dead for some years, but he died in a hidden way, so his companions could not find him.

“I remember that the rule of Bi Luo Mansion is that the token must be returned after three months of losing contact with a member… Maybe a special case among special cases. After all, the terrain of the Jiuyuan mountain range is complicated and dangerous, so it’s normal that we can’t find the body.”

Liu Yuan kept the token for the time being.

“But since he died here, it means that something or someone killed him. I can ask Ding Liu.”

Liu Yuan returned the way he came. Fortunately, this place was on the same route as Chiyu Villa and Water Moon Dock, so it was more convenient. He could just ask along the way.

Liu Yuan walked around the town and saw Ding Liu.

He called out to the fatty. Ding Liu maintained his flattering smile and turned around vigilantly. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Liu Yuan.

He looked at Liu Yuan awkwardly. The experience of fighting the moment they met last time was a little embarrassing, and it should be said that he had repaid kindness with ingratitude in theory. He was really a little ashamed to face Liu Yuan.

“Has your knee recovered?” Liu Yuan asked.

Ding Liu smiled and nodded. “Alright…”

Ding Liu rubbed his hands together, not knowing what to say.

Liu Yuan took out the token and showed the number side, “I found a corpse in the Jiuyuan mountain range with this.”

Ding Liu raised his head and looked at the token. His pupils shrank, and he subconsciously took a deep breath.

“It seems like he is related to you. Otherwise, there are so many people in Bi Luo Mansion. I wouldn’t be so surprised if I have never seen his code name before. Calculating the time, you came here 20 years ago, and this man has been dead for many years. He probably escaped with you?”

Liu Yuan kept the token.

Ding Liu wanted to ask for it, but he stopped in his tracks. His expression was very stiff. “You… What do you know?”

Liu Yuan thought to himself that there was really a secret, but on the surface, he said, “I can choose not to know anything, or I can choose to know everything. It’s up to you.”

Ding Liu seemed to have understood something. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “What do you want?”

It seemed that they had found some important clues… this must have something to do with the reason for their defection, or it was found by Bi Luo Mansion. In short, it must be of great value for Ding Liu to directly ask him what he wanted.

Liu Yuan thought for a moment and said, “I don’t have anything that I want from you. You can’t give it to me. To be honest, you two are just ordinary members of Bi Luo Mansion. The things that you treasure are just ordinary things to me.”

“I’ve already taken the price. That Scarlet Cloud Bow is pretty good.”

Ding Liu was taken aback. He thought of the injury to his knee that he had healed and was momentarily speechless. It was too difficult to make them believe in others. However, there seemed to be no other reason for a dignified Nascent Soul stage Immortal cultivator to take the Scarlet Cloud Bow, other than to make a show of helping them pay the price.

No, you’re too much to look so moved.

Was it really embarrassing for a Nascent Soul cultivator to have a level 20 weapon?

“But since you attacked me last time, I’ll reluctantly give you something useful as compensation,” Liu Yuan said.

‘This is something useful to me’ was an easy excuse, and it could be understood in any way.

Ambiguous words were the best way to fool people.

But the main thing was that he was being looked down on. If he did not take something, he would feel like he was at a loss.

He threw the identity token over. “37’s whereabouts are deep in the Jiuyuan mountain range. I guess you can’t enter even if you know. I’ll take you in personally in a few days.”

“Lady Wan was too impulsive about what happened last time,” Ding Liu quickly added.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and sighed. “I don’t care about your petty tricks. I don’t care. You’re on your own.”

Ding Liu still wanted to say something, but Liu Yuan had already disappeared.

…

Zou Wenrui walked slowly along the lakeside. He measured a few steps and put down the last Crossing Karma Stone. He looked at the center of the lake. A half-formed array gradually stabilized five feet above the lake.

The blood-red runes outlined the complete appearance of the hundred-foot-wide magic array formation. It was reflected on the calm lake, twisted and flowing, emitting a strange and evil aura.

This was the Blood Sacrifice Array.

Zou Wenrui stared at the center of the formation and mumbled, “I’m only missing one offering.”

He would use half of his life as a sacrifice.

This price was too great, so much so that no one dared to question whether he was faking it or not. Instead, many people advised him not to be impulsive.

But who knew how many people were cheering behind his back?

However, the sacrifice needed to be offered to the Ghost Messengers of the world of spirits and souls. However, the Gate of Hell of Fengdu could never be opened.

The so-called incomplete page that could summon Ghost Messengers was also fake.

These people did not know anything.

“Hehe… they humiliated me to this extent. I’ve cultivated for hundreds of years, but I’ve never been so embarrassed.” Zou Wenrui’s eyes were filled with madness. He thought of how he was in front of Ning Tingshan, who had been suppressing him, and how he was just careless. His Dantian was sealed in one move and he was even humiliated with words. He felt that his dignity had been swept to the ground and he almost wanted to commit suicide.

He looked at the surface of the lake with a twisted expression. As long as he could successfully release that guy…
