Chapter 303: The Disciple Also Wants to Contribute to the Sect
“Is your surname Wu, friend?”
Elder Guan did not rush to question Wu Laoda; he simply smiled and asked.
Though he had already reviewed the information collected about the people below, it indicated that the man in front of him was merely an obscure little pawn in Heaven Demon City. While he had some cleverness, in Elder Guan’s eyes, he was nothing special.
However, upon seeing Wu Laoda himself, Elder Guan began to doubt the accuracy of that information.
After all, this was just a Golden Core stage cultivator, yet he showed no fear in front of two elders of the Heaven Demon Sect and maintained an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant. This clearly indicated something significant was at play.
Thus, Elder Guan decided to investigate this man’s background and identity first.
Although the Heaven Demon Sect was a top-tier demonic sect that feared no one, even a top sect would not recklessly offend other cultivators. Moreover, the demonic path had more than one major sect.
Seeing Elder Guan’s friendly smile, Wu Laoda felt reassured.
This was someone on his side; there was no doubt!
“My surname is indeed Wu. Since I am the eldest in my family, my friends in the path have given me the nickname Wu Laoda.”
Wu Laoda explained with a smile.
Elder Guan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this answer and continued to ask,
“I noticed that you just purchased so many spiritual grains and spiritual plants at the auction. I wonder what you plan to do with them?”
After he spoke, Elder Guan fixed his gaze on Wu Laoda. His powerful primordial spirit energy had already scanned the area; if Wu Laoda’s answer was false, it would indicate he had something to hide, and they could naturally use other means to inquire further.
Hearing this question, Wu Laoda paused for a moment.
Indeed, this elder was unaware that these spiritual plants were purchased on Ji Yang’s behalf. It was evident that while this elder was on their side, he wasn’t entirely on their side. Otherwise, why would Ji Yang keep this secret?
Looking over at Ji Yang beside him, Wu Laoda noticed he didn’t offer any reminders and clearly didn’t want these two elders to know.
Understanding this, Wu Laoda didn’t contemplate too long and replied,
“What I purchased is all for my family’s needs. My family plans to retreat from the world for a hundred years, so we are preparing various types of spiritual grains and spiritual plant seeds to cultivate.”
Elder Guan slightly furrowed his brows.
The Wu family, he thought he had not heard much about them, but a family capable of purchasing so many spiritual grains and spiritual plants likely wasn’t too small. Spiritual grains were one thing, but cultivating high-level spiritual plant seeds was not something an ordinary family could achieve.
Moreover, he did not sense any abnormal fluctuations in Wu Laoda’s primordial spirit energy, indicating that Wu Laoda had not lied.
The significant disparity in their strengths also did not lead Elder Guan to suspect anything further.
Although this man had some spiritual stones, he didn’t seem to have any direct connections to Ji Yang.
As for the spiritual stones Wu Laoda spent on spiritual grains and spiritual intelligence at the auction, they were insignificant in Elder Guan’s eyes.
He had initially hoped to gain some clues about Ji Yang from this man, but it seemed he had gained nothing.
“Elder, is there anything wrong?” Wu Laoda feigned a frown and asked.
Elder Guan immediately smiled,
“There is nothing wrong. Friend, you were quite generous with your purchases at our Heaven Demon Pavilion, so I specially invited you here to express my gratitude for your trust in our establishment. Next time you come to our Heaven Demon Pavilion, you can enjoy VIP treatment, with a ten percent discount on all your purchases. I hope you won’t mind.”
Wu Laoda felt a surge of joy upon hearing this. It seemed he was indeed among friends.
He never expected that he could become a guest of honor at the Heaven Demon Pavilion.
“In that case, I would like to thank the elder on behalf of my family!”
Wu Laoda cupped his hands and replied.
After clearing Wu Laoda of any suspicions, he quickly left the Heaven Demon Pavilion.
Once Wu Laoda departed, the smile faded from Elder Guan’s face. He turned to Elder Qu beside him and asked,
“Elder Qu, did you gain anything useful?”
Elder Qu slightly shook his head.
“This person’s attitude is confident, and his primordial spirit remains steady while speaking; it seems he really has no connection to that Ji Yang.”
“However, to be safe, let’s send someone to follow him.”
“I had the same thought!”
Elder Guan nodded. Although there were no issues at the moment, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. This instinct came from his experience as a high-level cultivator.
From this person’s demeanor and his actions at the auction, it appeared he had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Heaven Demon Sect but instead held a friendly attitude.
There might be a problem, but it was not serious.
“Elder, now that I have joined the Heaven Demon Sect, let me take on the task of following this person. I also want to contribute to the sect!”
Ji Yang stepped forward, cupping his hands in respect.
Seeing Ji Yang eager to assist before even holding the initiation ceremony, Elder Guan nodded slightly and immediately said,
“Very well, I will place this matter in your hands!”
“Uncle Guan, I will go with Feng Yu!”
At this moment, Ren Yuning suddenly spoke up.
Elder Guan smiled and replied,
“It’s just a small task. Since you wish to go, then go ahead.”
“Elder Qu will set up the Heaven’s Secret Great Formation, expected to be completed tomorrow. At that time, Ji Yang won’t be able to escape! Once we capture him, we will return to the sect together!”
Soon, the two left the Heaven Demon Pavilion.
With the information from the Heaven Demon Pavilion, Wu Laoda’s whereabouts were naturally monitored.
“Senior sister, let’s allow Junior Brother to handle this small matter. Tomorrow Elder Qu will finish the Heaven’s Secret Great Formation, and we will surely catch that detestable Ji Yang!”
On the way, Ji Yang said.
Ren Yuning shook her head.
“Let’s go together. I have a feeling there’s something off about this person.”
“The Heaven’s Secret Great Formation won’t be ready until tomorrow, so there’s no rush.”
“Alright then, let’s go together.”
Ji Yang agreed with a nod.
“Hehe, kid, although I just used a Secret Technique to deceive those two elders, this girl has incredible intuition. Her sensitivity to primordial spirit energy is much sharper than those two elders in the Heaven Demon Sect. You’d better wish for good fortune.”
At this moment, Ji Yang heard the voice of the middle-aged man in his mind.
Ji Yang did not respond but was also pondering what to do.
He had suggested following Wu Laoda to retrieve his belongings and then leave Heaven Demon City, but as for the Heaven’s Secret Great Formation, Ji Yang naturally did not want to put himself at risk.
Now with Ren Yuning alongside him, the risk was undoubtedly greater.
At this point, Ji Yang considered getting rid of Ren Yuning before escaping.
This thought flashed across his mind but quickly dissipated. It wasn’t convenient to take action here, and another reason for not moving was that he sensed Ren Yuning was more dangerous this time. She seemed to possess an extraordinary treasure prepared specifically for him.
This made Ji Yang very cautious; if he exposed himself here, escape would be even more difficult, especially with more than a couple of elders from the Heaven Demon Sect still in the city.
