Chapter 101 Meeting an Old Friend. Finding a Cultivator from the Evil Soul Palace!
【Contract Beast: Bai Xian'er】
[Current Location: Lingcao Milk Tea Shop, Jianmin Road, Yancheng]
"A bubble tea shop?" Shen Yun raised an eyebrow, banishing the image of a little fox drinking bubble tea from his mind, and pressed the voice recorder button:
"Xian'er, have you noticed?"
[Bai Xian'er: Brother Yun, you're awake! I've detected the aura of an evil cultivator! This person's bloodlust is extremely strong, as if he's sucked the blood of many people. Come and take a look!]
"I'm coming right now!" Shen Yun put away his phone and leaped off the hotel balcony...
……
Yancheng was brightly lit at night, with crowds of pedestrians.
For ordinary people, life goes on even though they play games.
Meanwhile, some special shops have appeared on the streets: such as monster material recycling shops, low-level magic weapon crafting shops, cultivation schools, treasure pavilions, and so on.
Following Bai Xian'er's map, Shen Yun arrived at a milk tea shop on the street.
【Lingcao Milk Tea Shop】
"Our shop is now offering Tier 1 Spirit Herb Milk Tea! It'll give you a boost of energy! You'll be a monster-slaying powerhouse!"
The automated announcements were full of passion!
The effect was amazing; more than a dozen customers were standing in front of the shop late at night, waiting for milk tea.
'They deserve to make money...' Shen Yun thought to himself, admiring the way the shop assistant's hands moved so fast they were almost blurry.
Although the environment is gradually changing, people are adaptable and will create industrial chains that adapt to the trend.
Shen Yun scanned the store and quickly spotted Bai Xian'er.
The girl had turned into a cub with only one tail, making it impossible to tell whether she was a dog or a cat. She was standing in the corner licking a bowl of milk tea that a milk tea shop employee had poured for her.
Seeing Shen Yun approach, Bai Xian'er wiggled her bottom and ran over happily, climbing up his trouser leg and onto his shoulder.
"Handsome, is this your pet?" The shop manager, busy calculating the bill, glanced at it, his tone quite regretful.
"I thought it was unclaimed and was planning to adopt it."
"Haha, the little guy's been naughty and given you all a lot of trouble," Shen Yun laughed.
"Give me a hundred cups."
"Haha, it's nothing... Huh?" Not only the store manager, but also the surrounding employees' hands trembled slightly:
"Bro, it's almost time to get off work! Are you trying to kill us with exhaustion?!"
The other people in the store also looked at Shen Yun.
The milk tea wasn't expensive, only 100 yuan a cup; everyone was just curious about the cat's owner.
Upon seeing Shen Yun's strikingly handsome face, two female customers in the shop widened their eyes and immediately spat out their milk tea.
"Pfft! It's Shen Yun! Cough cough! Shen Yun!!"
"It really is Shen Yun from Haicheng! So handsome!!"
"Where is he?! Where is Boss Shen?!" The store was instantly in an uproar.
This guy is the top rising star of the Demon Suppression Division and the number one on the Chinese Divine Weapon Ranking. Who wouldn't be excited to meet him?!
'I knew Yun-ge was captivating wherever he went…' Bai Xian'er rolled her eyes at the women's gleaming eyes.
"Brother Yun, the target is in the right corner; he's already stood up."
Without Bai Xian'er's reminder, Shen Yun had already spotted the target.
But at this moment, his expression was quite strange: 'Li Youran?!'
He remembered!
In her past life, Li Youran loved drinking milk tea, and she never expected to run into it here.
She was not a cultivator of the Evil Soul Hall; on the contrary, she had a blood feud with the other party.
She must have learned of the Evil Soul Hall's conspiracy and is planning to secretly gain some benefits. Don't forget, this woman raises Gu poisons, and is most skilled at using the blood of the dead to refine them!
She likely intends to seize the city's blood essence when the beast tide arrives!
Seeing Li Youran walking through the crowd with her head down, clearly not wanting to be noticed, Shen Yun first had Bai Xian'er follow, and after scanning the code to pay, they left the milk tea shop.
He spent all his savings on games, but the company is still flush with cash.
"Mr. Shen, don't go! I'm a huge fan! How can I join your company?"
"Hey Boss Shen! Do you need a girlfriend?! Boss Shen~!!"
……
'Oh no! Why is he targeting me?!' In the dark alley, Li Youran stared at the white fox glowing in the night, her heart pounding in her chest.
She felt extremely uneasy knowing that she was a cultivator hiding in the shadows while her opponent was the strongest rising star of the Demon Suppression Division.
Turning around and seeing Shen Yun right in front of her, Li Youran could only feign composure and helplessly shrug.
“Mr. Shen, I don’t think I have offended you.”
Shen Yun cut to the chase: "Where are the people from the Evil Soul Hall? I need to deal with them."
'Good heavens, they actually dare to cause trouble for the Evil Soul Hall!' Li Youran, her mind racing, stared at Shen Yun:
"I can tell you, but I hope you'll keep it a secret!"
She couldn't afford to offend Shen Yun.
The same goes for the Hall of Evil Souls.
Right now, her only priority is to save her life.
"Of course." Shen Yun nodded slightly.
Li Youran did not hide anything and said frankly:
"They will deploy their forces in the city's sewers, but I don't know their exact location."
She overheard this information by chance from an underground black market, but the details remain unknown.
"The sewers..." Shen Yun turned and left.
Li Youran had done him a favor, but now that he was trying to be friendly, it was like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken; the already wary Li Youran would definitely think twice.
It's better to let things take their course and deal with it later.
But the way he turned and left actually made Li Youran relax:
'With his strength, killing the cultivators of the Evil Soul Hall would be a piece of cake! Why not follow him and give it a shot…'
Thinking of this, Li Youran decided to take the risk and quickly stepped forward.
She came here on an adventurous journey of raising Gu poison, mainly to become stronger!
Following Shen Yun naturally carries risks, but her path of cultivation is inherently fraught with danger. As long as the benefits are great enough, she is willing to give it a try!
Li Youran approached and whispered:
"I thought Mr. Shen would kill me to silence me."
Shen Yun glanced at her and smiled faintly:
“I am good at deduction. Although you are a Gu cultivator, you do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Your method of refining Gu worms is simply to go into the mountains to find corpses. Why would I kill you?”
With just a simple sentence, he won Li Youran's great favor!
Her eyes even reddened with excitement. Her secret technique of refining poison was obtained through character feedback. However, the methods were too evil and would be unacceptable to the world, so she could only practice it in secret.
Unexpectedly, this young man, who was a few years older than her, had such a broad vision and magnanimous heart!
Shen Yun accepted her cultivation method!
It felt like she was walking on a dark road when suddenly a bright light appeared ahead, illuminating her path.
"Seeing is believing!" Li Youran rarely showed a smile:
"Mr. Shen is not only incredibly capable, but his mindset is also something I greatly admire!"
"Stop flattering me. Once I've killed someone, the corpses will be your reward for providing the information."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen!!" Li Youran's eyes lit up. It seemed that his Gu worms were going to have a good meal today!
After Shen Yun mounted the white fox, he gestured to Li Youran:
"Let's go, let's deal with them as soon as possible."
"Huh? I can ride it too?!" Li Youran was secretly envious of this most beautiful mount on the entire internet.
I never expected that today I could not only hug someone's leg, but also ride a bike. It's a small fulfillment of my wish!
But the white fox glared at her:
"Who told you to sit here! See my big paws?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xian'er grabbed the embarrassed Li You by the back of the collar with one claw and vanished into thin air...
……
Four men and women dressed in black robes stood in the stench-filled sewer.
Beneath their feet, two unidentified liquids stretched for an unknown distance on both sides of the steps.
"We've spent so much on these potions to set up this array; hopefully, we'll reap good rewards after the beast tide..." The leading elder took a crystal skull from his pocket and placed it in the center of the crimson array at his feet:
"I've already made arrangements with the monsters of Tiandang Mountain. Tonight, the beast tide will storm Yancheng! You all must keep a close watch on the city's formations. Anyone who enters the sewers will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, leader!" the three replied enthusiastically.
This time, the Evil Soul Palace has brought out a terrifying ancestor-level being from the secret realm. It is said that this person is one of the cultivators of Baiyujing!
It should be known that the Baiyujing organization was the strongest cultivation force created by the Eternal Emperor during the ancient Qi Refining era!
The fact that such a person could live for so long shows just how formidable they are.
Once they regain some of their soul, even if they can't dominate the entire Blue Star, at least within China, their Evil Soul Hall can rise from the shadows to the forefront!
After Yancheng was breached, the souls within the corpses scattered everywhere were enough for them to collect a good amount!
But just then...
The leader of the Evil Soul Hall, who was activating the formation, discovered this.
Suddenly, a huge white beast claw appeared on the crystal skull!
