Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 26: The Advantage is Mine, What Are You Afraid Of?

Xu You recalled Bai Genshuo's actions just now, and thought about that faint but familiar scent. A strange premonition surged in his heart.

"The method you mentioned couldn't be..."

"That's right, just as you thought," Bai Genshuo explained. "At present, there is no other scent that can better track down the culprit than the essence within this body. It's the fastest and most accurate. I have no other choice."

Xu You was dumbfounded. "So, that fragrance just now? You used this method too?"

"It's the same method."

Thinking of Bai Genshuo's wet hands earlier, Xu You silently took two steps back and asked somewhat incredulously, "Did you directly sniff it with your nose?"

"I'm not that perverted. I have hands, don't I?" Bai Genshuo retorted.

Xu You fell silent.

This Bai Genshuo is truly a genius!

Could there really be such an unpredictable method in the world?

Tracking someone by scent?

What a skill!

Xu You completely changed his view of Bai Genshuo. He was now very curious about the kind of education Bai Genshuo had received since childhood that allowed him to possess such astonishing Divine Ability.

He was even more curious about what kind of experiences had enabled him to handle such matters with such ease and speed.

At this moment, Xu You had only one realization.

I am not as talented as him.

"The culprit is in the city, let's go quickly. If we're late, we won't be able to catch up," Bai Genshuo urged.

Xu You took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and was about to follow Bai Genshuo when he suddenly summoned his flying sword and slashed towards a forest on the right.

In an instant, his fiery Divine Ability turned the forest into a blazing inferno, with flames reaching the sky.

"What's going on?" Bai Genshuo was startled.

"It's nothing, maybe I was just being sensitive," Xu You retracted his fiery moral sword and said, "I felt like someone was hiding there just now."

Bai Genshuo turned to look at the completely burnt forest, and cautiously said, "Let's investigate the surroundings more carefully, just to be safe."

"Alright."

The two of them carefully searched the area within a few miles, confirming that there were no traces of a third party. Only then did they hurry back to Falling Maple City together.

Soon, they returned to the city. It was already late at night, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets.

As soon as Bai Genshuo entered the city, he quickly formed hand seals with both hands again, and finally shouted, "Heaven and earth have no limits, track for thousands of miles!"

The world changed in his perception, and he immediately flew towards the city, with Xu You closely following.

The two of them went deep into the city, and finally Bai Genshuo stopped in front of a quiet street.

The street here was wide, and the surrounding houses belonged to the wealthy and powerful of Falling Maple City.

"We can only track up to here. The scent completely disappears here," Bai Genshuo said somewhat helplessly.

Xu You looked around and finally set his gaze on the magnificent mansion to his right.

Bai Genshuo also looked over. "This is the residence of the Great Zhou royal family. I checked before coming here. The owner is a distant branch of the royal family, although they have no real power now.

But they are still considered a high-ranking branch of the royal family in Falling Maple City."

The Great Zhou royal family has been passed down for so many years, and no one knows how many people with the surname Zhou are part of the royal family. But each generation's title is lower than the previous one, and this mansion is just a general's mansion with an empty title.

Xu You and Bai Genshuo didn't need to be cautious, but after all, the owner had the words "royal family" attached to them, so it wouldn't be good to offend them easily.

"Since the aura disappeared here, I have reason to suspect that this matter is related to this mansion. What do you think, should we go in and investigate?" Bai Genshuo asked.

"Without any evidence, even if you go in, you won't find anything. It's not advisable to alert the enemy now," Xu You shook his head and continued.

"Let's wait and see, and let the other party take the bait. Since you have recorded the aura of this Demonic Cultivator, when they come to cause trouble again, there will definitely be an aura leak under the fluctuation of their magical techniques."

"That makes sense. Leave it to me. If they come, I will be able to detect them immediately," Bai Genshuo agreed with Xu You's plan.

The two of them silently noted down all the surrounding buildings. When they were about to sneak back, Xu You suddenly shouted towards the corner on the left front side.

"Who?"

As he spoke, he formed hand seals, and a thread of fiery light silently cut through.

A figure disappeared in an instant, and even Bai Genshuo saw it this time.

When the two of them chased after, there was no trace left.

"It seems that someone was indeed secretly spying on us outside the city," Bai Genshuo immediately sniffed his nose and calmed down. "This aura was not left by the murderer.

Huh? It seems there is a faint fragrance, like the scent of sandalwood burning in the Fragrant Garden, and another unique woman's fragrance. This fragrance is somewhat familiar, but I'm not sure whose it is. But I can be sure that it belongs to one of the girls we just saw!"

Xu You narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Glancing at Bai Genshuo, he had to admit that his Divine Ability of smelling was truly impressive.

Without a nose like a hound, this mission would be quite difficult.

"Have we been targeted?" Bai Genshuo squeezed next to Xu You, feeling a bit scared. "The other party's strength is obviously stronger than ours.

To be able to deceive us like this, I estimate their cultivation is at the Fourth Realm."

Xu You immediately said, "Let's go back to the Fragrant Garden and call all the girls we just saw. No, let's call all the girls who have been in their rooms during the time we were away.

You sniff each one of them to see if you can identify anything."

"Alright, I'm good at this. Maybe the culprit is in the Fragrant Garden. This thief has been targeting people in the Fragrant Garden all along, and I've suspected this for a while," Bai Genshuo nodded excitedly, then hesitated.

"But if the other party is stronger than us, what if they get angry and attack us if we happen to find them?"

Xu You said, "The fact that they didn't make a move on us twice just now means they won't attack us. I have the advantage, so what are you afraid of?"

"You always think things through," Bai Genshuo stopped saying more and immediately rushed back with Xu You.

When they returned to the Fragrant Garden, the first brothel in Falling Maple City became even more lively. Even though two people had just died, these pleasure seekers were still indulging themselves here.

Xu You went straight to the madam and instructed her not to arouse suspicion and call all the girls again. He said that Bai Genshuo was generously spending money to spend the night with the girls.

The madam didn't understand, but she was very efficient. A few moments later, she followed Xu You's instructions. All the girls who had been idle in their rooms since they left were called out and lined up on the corridor outside.

Xu You stood by the window, looking at the night outside, while Bai Genshuo sat there like a master, his eyes shining as he called each girl in and then sniffed them one by one.

His thick eyebrows twitched, matching his narrowed eyes, giving off a very lewd vibe.

Each girl who came in was very cooperative and well-behaved. They were used to situations like this where they had to be chosen by their scent. Some of the more flirtatious ones even teased Bai Genshuo a bit.
