Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Shen Xu frowned when he heard the words, "What do you mean, senior?"

"That ghost cultivator has probably already sneaked into Yuzhou City."

"Then what should we do now?"

"What else can I do, I can only inform you, my good Taoist companion, to let them strengthen the defense in Yuzhou City. But I guess the notification is useless. Ghost cultivators have always been elusive, and it is not easy to catch them."

Shen Xu rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Senior has rich experience, so he must have a way, right?"

Venerable Ghost Corpse's attitude this time is very decisive, "I won't help you this time."

"Why?"

"I'm also a demon cultivator anyway. How could I help the orthodox cultivator? Don't even think about it!"

Shen Xu was not in a hurry, and said flatly, "Since that's the case, I won't tell senior where Lan Jin's descendants are."

Venerable Ghost Corpse stared at Shen Xu, "You kid actually threatened me! Have you forgotten who saved your little life?!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten! But let me watch the innocent people in Yuzhou City be killed, I can't do it!"

Venerable Ghost Corpse's complexion suddenly darkened, "You seem to have not straightened out your identity until now, Shen Xu."

Shen Xu was immediately overwhelmed by Venerable Ghost Corpse's aura, and was unable to speak for a moment.

The venerable ghost corpse floated in front of Shen Xu, raised his chin with his index finger and said softly, "Why do you think I saved you in the first place? It was simply because I was a remnant soul, and I could only use someone else's hands to fulfill my wish. But don't think that I'm an easy-talking person because of this. And, do you really think that I have no means of guarding against you when I save you?"

Shen Xu frowned, "Senior, what do you mean?"

"Although the elixir I gave you is indeed a high-level elixir that nourishes the body, but I put a little 'good stuff' in it. If you dare to resist me, then you will know how it feels."

Shen Xu was used to being plotted against, except that he was a little surprised at first, but he calmed down in a blink of an eye.

So this time he is also going to open the skylight to speak out. "Senior, I don't know the personalities of the people you have met. But I, Shen Xu, am a person who knows how to repay you. Since you saved my life, I will definitely repay you. But you It’s kind of sad to be honest with me.”

After finishing speaking, Shen Xu bowed his head and began to sob.

Venerable Ghost Corpse saw that he was just playing, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.Then Shen Xu cried loudly, so he quickly said, "It's okay, I'm afraid of you. As long as you help me find Lan Jin's descendants, I will naturally give you the antidote."

Shen Xu sniffled, "Senior, what about this matter in Yuzhou City?"

"I can only tell you that on the fifteenth day of every month, ghost cultivators usually release their hunted souls in places like mass graves to absorb their grievances and grievances. As for the others, I have nothing to say." , Venerable Ghost Corpse got into the inheritance jade again.

Shen Xu held the jade and said thank you three times, then hurriedly went to the Chen Mansion to find Jiang Xun and the others.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by several monks as soon as he arrived outside the Chen residence.With heartache, Shen Xu took out many spirit stones and bribed the monks to take him into Chen's residence.

As soon as Shen Xu entered the Chen residence, he rushed to Jiang Xun's courtyard.Seeing this, the monks following him hurriedly tried to stop Shen Xu, but they were stopped by Jiang Xun who was oncoming.

After driving away the housekeeper monks, Jiang Xun led Shen Xu to the courtyard.After getting him a cup of tea, he asked slowly, "What's the matter?"

Shen Xu was a little too anxious to drink tea, and when he heard Jiang Xun's question, he immediately coughed violently.

Jiang Xun gently patted him on the back a few times, and then said softly, "Don't worry, I have something to say later."

After Shen Xu coughed a few times, he calmed down.Then he told Jiang Xun what Venerable Ghost Corpse had said and the murder that happened in the inn where he was staying.

Jiang Xun frowned slightly when he heard this.

To be honest, Shen Xu was really not sure about the credibility of Venerable Ghost Corpse's words.However, ghost cultivators have always been extremely mysterious, and there are not many people among demon cultivators who know about them.Venerable Ghost Corpse is still a ghost cultivator, so what he said still has some practical reference value.

After verifying that Ghost Xiu had sneaked into Yuzhou City, Jiang Xun and Shen Xu began to spread rumors that Chen Chao had recovered.

But in the blink of an eye, it has been three days since the news spread, and there has been no murder case in the city.However, Super Chen was not feeling well.

Ye Chen held down Super Chen, who was struggling and screaming wildly, and looked at the disciples of the Alchemy Sect beside him, asking, "What's wrong with Super Chen? Wasn't he still fine before?"

The Dan sect disciple replied, "Chen Chao's soul may have been imprinted on his body after passing through the ghost cultivator's soul refining array. The ghost cultivator heard the news that Chen Chao had recovered, so he opened the soul refining array again. I am afraid that he intends to see what you spread. Is the news true?"

"What is the purpose of this ghost cultivator? If it is said that he has a deep hatred with the Wuyou Sect and the Feijian Sect, but he has already wiped out these two sects, and the hatred should be avenged. Why did he let Chao Chen go? life, but continue to torture him?”

Shen Xu thought for a moment after hearing the words, and then replied, "I think that ghost cultivator actually didn't want to let Super Chen go. It was because of pressure that he had to let go."

Ye Chen frowned when he heard the words, "What do you mean?"

"Let's think back to the cause of the incident. It was because the ghost cultivator destroyed Wuyouzong and Feijianzong. But everyone, don't forget what the witnesses said. They said that the murderer was a child who was nearly seventeen or eighteen years old. Like this For a child of this age, no matter how high his cultivation level is, he is probably at the level of the Golden Core Stage. But both the Wuyou Sect and the Flying Sword Sect have Nascent Soul Stage masters in charge, how can he be able to do so at a young Golden Core Stage? Can you handle it? So I guess, there is someone behind this Guixiu boy to help him."

Ye Chen suddenly realized, "Could it be that you have other magicians to help?"

Shen Xu nodded, "It should be so."

"Then why did you send Chao Chen back to Yuzhou City?"

"My guess is that a certain leader of Moxiu asked him to do something on the condition of helping him destroy Wuyouzong and Feijianzong. And this thing can only be done if Chen Chao survives, and I'm afraid it will involve The safety of the people in Yuzhou City."

Ye Chen's expression darkened immediately after hearing Shen Xu's words. "So what should we do now?"

Shen Xu glanced at Jiang Xun, and then said, "Are there any mass graves near Yuzhou City?"

Ye Chen frowned, "It seems that there are, why are you asking this?"

"I'm going to have a look, maybe I'll find something."

So, on a dark and stormy night, Shen Xu took Ye Chen to the mass grave in the outskirts of Yuzhou City.
