The three on the ground couldn’t help but blame themselves. In just one night, they had messed up so badly, they felt deeply sorry for failing the trust of the Elder.
“It’s all right. Fortunately, the few people who appeared here last night had low cultivation levels. The Church has been cautious beforehand and left a detection Array here, allowing us to possibkly mitigate the damage in time.” From the information left by the detection Array last night, the Qi of these people has been basically locked: there are only four of them.
One Golden Core Daoist and three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, and they are cultivators from another place. They are not from the Immortal City.”
Now, based on the residual Qi, you immediately mobilize your subordinates to find the traces of the four.”
After finding anything, report it immediately, do not take matters into your own hands, and listen to my instructions.”
“Yes.”
The trio hastily obeyed and prepared to leave, but the Elder of the Church of All Beings issued a warning again.
“You must be cautious this time. Although the hounds in Cleaning Department have withdrawn, there may still be spies in the Lower City. Be careful not to expose yourselves.”
If it wasn’t for the urgency of the matter regarding the Teleportation Array, I wouldn’t want you to show yourselves and increase the problems.”
“Elder, rest assured, we will be careful.”
After the three left, the Elder of the Church of All Beings sighed and wore a puzzled expression on his face.
“Why do these four people have the Qi of natives from the Desolate Regions? Are they really from the Desolate Regions? But how did they know the location of the Teleportation Array here?”
The Elder of the Church of All Beings was extremely puzzled, but now he didn’t dare to leave this place and decided to personally guard here.
The Teleportation Array is the most critical existence for the Church of All Beings. He won’t allow taking anything lightly before the situation is clear.
At this moment, Liang Sheng, who was hiding in the dark, didn’t make any rash moves. He didn’t expect that the Church of All Beings had set up a Teleportation Array right under the City Lord Mansion’s nose.
The Church of All Beings is really amazing.
Liang Sheng thought for a moment and decided to hold off on taking action for now, waiting to see how the situation develops. After all, the Church of All Beings, which has been able to survive under the full force of the City Lord Mansion, must have its trump cards.
To deal with them, he must be cautious. Otherwise, why bother with all this trouble when he could have simply slapped them away earlier?
He has an abundant lifespan. He has plenty of time to slowly investigate the situation here. Staying safe has always been his top priority.
After confirming the existence of the Teleportation Array arranged by the Church of All Beings, he quietly returned to Chen Family Manor, as this matter needed further deliberation.
So, the night passed without incident.
The next day, Liang Sheng stretched his body and smelled the wine on his body, extremely satisfied.
At this time, he walked along the Gourmet Street and found out that Old Yang from the wonton stall had appeared again.
It seems that the crisis of the Church of All Beings has been temporarily resolved. Otherwise, Old Yang wouldn’t have appeared. Since that was the case, Liang Sheng didn’t show any abnormal reactions.
“Ten bowls of wontons, no chopped green onions.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
As before, the delicious wontons were devoured, and Liang Sheng left a mid-grade spirit stone and left directly.
This made other vendors around even more envious. Damn it, didn’t they say that something happened at his house? Why did he come back so early?
In the past few days when Old Yang was absent, several other shops benefited from it. Fortunately, Old Yang kept a low profile and others couldn’t see his depth, so they restrained themselves for the time being.
Old Yang secretly noted the instructions of the upper echelons of the Church of All Beings and didn’t make any moves. He only needed to observe “Chen Quan” daily, and he didn’t have to do anything else.
On the other hand, Liang Sheng continued wandering around and unconsciously arrived at Yue Lai Inn.
Without thinking twice, he entered the inn directly. At this moment, looking at the guests in the inn, he couldn’t help shaking his head.
It seems that the young members of the Zhou family have been exposed already.
“Shopkeeper, please serve us one of each of your signature dishes.”
Many people in the Lower City didn’t recognize Liang Sheng, but how could any slightly capable cultivator not pay attention to “Chen Quan,” the Nascent Soul Master?
Previously, the story of Bodhisattva’s Giving one-night Qi Refinement Completion and the rumors of casually rewarding a mid-grade spirit stone made the shopkeeper of Yue Lai Inn extremely excited.
“Senior, please wait a moment.”
Then, the shopkeeper personally went to the kitchen to make sure the quality was guaranteed. As for the atmosphere in the hall, it was a bit strange.
The people of the Church of All Beings were unnaturally nervous. Why did “Chen Quan” suddenly come here? If that was the case, they dared not take direct action now.
They were originally planning to strike first and find the few people with the same aura as the teleportation array. According to the Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Technique, they locked onto Yue Lai Inn using the residual aura of the teleportation array.
However, Yue Lai Inn naturally had a protection formation, so they were not sure exactly who it was. But they were not worried, after all, they were led by a Nascent Soul Daoist, and taking down a Golden Core Daoist couldn’t be easier.
However, “Chen Quan’s” sudden appearance disrupted their plan. Afterwards, under a series of eye signals, someone pretended to be full and left after paying the bill.
In front of “Chen Quan,” using communication techniques was not safe. It was still more appropriate to use a slightly slower method. They didn’t make any moves afterwards, just observing “Chen Quan” and hoping his presence was just a coincidence.
It didn’t take long for the shopkeeper to bring the delicious dishes with the help of the waiters, and Liang Sheng started eating right away. The shopkeeper was a bit nervous on the side.
Fortunately, “Chen Quan” seemed very satisfied, quickly finishing the food in front of him. Without saying a word, Liang Sheng threw a mid-grade spirit stone, got up, and left.
“Thank you, Senior, for your reward.”
Seeing “Chen Quan” leave, the people from the Church of All Beings couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then another person entered the inn, looking somewhat strange.
Where’s “Chen Quan”?
After exchanging glances with the previous person, he knew that “Chen Quan” had left and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was just a coincidence.
Upstairs.
The young members of the Zhou Family were full of worry. Beneath the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil technique, they felt that as soon as they went out, it would be a sign of great misfortune.
At this moment, the four Zhou Family members suddenly changed their expressions.
Huh?
Why suddenly a great fortune omen?
As they were stunned, the Nascent Soul Daoist leader of the Church of All Beings from below suddenly changed his expression. Why did the aura sensed earlier suddenly disappear?
They were staying here in order to wait for the target to appear and quietly take them away at an opportune moment. However, now that the Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Technique suddenly sensed that the person was not there, they were shocked.
Did the person escape?
At this moment, the young members of the Zhou Family just happened to come downstairs. The people of the Church of All Beings glanced at them and didn’t care. Their auras were not the ones they were looking for.
At this moment, the aura sensed by the Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Technique was getting farther and farther away from here. Finally, they couldn’t bear it any longer and left after settling the bill.
At the same time, they reported the situation to the hidden Elder of the Church of All Beings through communication, and they quickly received a reply, “Chase!”
By now, the Zhou family’s young members had already checked out. After all, the sign of bad luck from earlier made them dare not to act rashly.
Shortly after, they hurriedly left, and turned the corner to find someone with a grin — who else could it be but Liang Sheng?
How could the Church of All Beings’ concealment techniques compare to his? Just as Liang Sheng was feeling proud, his face suddenly changed. Left Envoy Qingfeng sent him a message, ordering him to temporarily return to the Upper City.
No matter what, he was the Deputy Commander of the Cleaning Department, and at this moment, he had no choice but to appear in the Upper City.
Because City Lord Zhen Yuan had left the retreat!
