Outside Myo Xian City, people came and went in a bustling and noisy scene.
Not all cultivators were willing to spend spirit stones to enter the city, but they needed a place to rest, so merchants seized the opportunity and built inns, tea houses, and even restaurants outside the city.
Although they were not protected by Myo Shou Palace disciples, merchants could hire cultivators to guard their shops, and major accidents generally did not occur.
Chen Changsheng sat in a lively tea house, chatting and laughing with a group of passing cultivators while drinking tea, playing chess, and listening to stories.
The Myo Shou Palace disciples lurking around also saw Chen Changsheng completely immersed in the atmosphere and couldn't help but wonder if he had forgotten his task for the day.
Was he blending in too naturally? It was as if he had come out specifically to drink tea!
Should they remind him?
In this lively atmosphere, Chen Changsheng played from morning to afternoon, while the Myo Shou Palace disciples cautiously observed their surroundings, carefully examining every passerby.
Until the sun set, and the twilight shone like gold leaf on the official road, dazzling and beautiful.
The liveliness in the tea house continued, but Chen Changsheng used rest as an excuse to leisurely drink tea and silently watch the chess game without saying a word.
At this moment, a familiar figure quietly followed behind a group of merchants.
Lan Mian wore a relaxed smile, dressed in a pure white robe, and gently fanned himself with a folding fan, exuding an elegant and approachable temperament.
No one would think he was a bad person, but rather a learned scholar.
Chen Changsheng in the tea house seemed to catch a glimpse of him and immediately waved to him with a smile: "Brother Lan, come over and play chess and drink tea together!"
Lan Mian heard this and stopped waving his folding fan.
He walked over with a smile: "Isn't this the owner of Dao Bao Pavilion? Why are you drinking tea and playing chess here? What about the little girl in your shop? You wouldn't have left her alone in Dao Bao Pavilion, would you?"
The cultivators outside the city cast their gazes, realizing that something was happening here.
Lan Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face gradually became indifferent and cold: "You want to attack me without any evidence. Myo Shou Palace is really tyrannical and overbearing!"
"Moral kidnapping? Sorry, I don't represent Myo Shou Palace. Honestly confess and you'll be spared the pain of flesh and blood."
Chen Changsheng exerted a slight force with his palm, making Lan Mian's face turn pale.
Suddenly, Lan Mian threw a white object into the crowd. The Myo Shou Palace disciples were immediately shocked and hurriedly used their spells to prepare to resist.
As a result, the object skillfully bypassed everyone and flew hundreds of meters away.
While the Myo Shou Palace disciples were puzzled, they saw Lan Mian in Chen Changsheng's hand suddenly turn into a white paper doll.
And Lan Mian stood hundreds of meters away, his position exactly swapped with the paper doll!
"You're forcing me to take action! Don't you really think you can catch me with just a few pieces of trash like you?"
He looked at the crowd with a handsome and cold face.
Strands of red blood lines floated from his ten fingers, connecting into the void, emitting an eerie aura.
"Still want to resist? Surrender immediately. If you are wronged, we won't make things difficult for you."
A Foundation Establishment stage Myo Shou Palace disciple shouted loudly.
In an instant, more than a dozen array flags flew out from different people's hands, and one by one fell into the array positions. The Second-Grade Trapping Array instantly formed and enveloped the area.
Lan Mian stood in the center of the array, exuding an evil aura, completely different from his previous temperament.
As he bent his ten fingers forcefully, ten deep purple cracks suddenly opened in the void, and slender, white arms stretched out from the cracks.
"I didn't want to reveal my identity, but you don't know how to appreciate favors."
Lan Mian sneered, and ten naked figures walked out of the cracks. Their skin was pale and bloodless, and their eyes were gray and white like the eyes of the dead.
After seeing the faces of the ten figures clearly, the Myo Shou Palace disciples were filled with grief and anger.
Because three of them were the missing junior sisters of Myo Shou Palace!
Lan Mian not only killed them but also controlled their corpses and stripped them naked for all to see, which was extremely insulting!
"Damn evil cultivator!! Capture him for me!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator of Myo Shou Palace angrily sacrificed his magical artifact and attacked Lan Mian with the force of thunder.
The cultivators outside the city immediately retreated, and some cultivators recognized Lan Mian's identity and couldn't help but exclaim.
"I recognize this person! He is the recently famous Corpse Gathering Young Master!"
"What the heck? Corpse Gathering?"
"Exactly as you think. This person is proficient in the art of harvesting and replenishing, but what he harvests and replenishes are corpses."
"Moreover, his evil art is not to directly harvest and replenish corpses but to harvest and replenish living people to death and continue to harvest and replenish the corpses for three days and three nights, so as to obtain the Taoist methods learned by the deceased during their lifetime."
"This guy is cunning, insidious, and powerful. Many female cultivators from various sects are terrified of him. I didn't expect him to have set his sights on the female cultivators of Myo Shou Palace!"
Hearing the informed person's explanation, the surrounding people felt a chill in their bones.
An evil cultivator with only Qi Refining cultivation had caused such a big sensation. If he was allowed to grow, who knows how many female cultivators would suffer.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator of Myo Shou Palace showed no mercy and directly used his strongest Taoist method, wanting to kill Lan Mian with lightning speed.
However, the strength of the ten female corpses was quite powerful. The demonic and evil Taoist methods combined together stubbornly blocked all the Myo Shou Palace disciples, including the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Lan Mian showed a smug look on his face, and his smile became sinister and ferocious: "A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to try to catch me? I possess the strongest foundation in the world. Even with Qi Refining, I can kill Foundation Establishment!"
"I wanted to play with you in the identity of an ordinary person, but it's a pity you don't know how to appreciate favors. Then all of you die here!"
"Let me see how many people can survive from my hands before the Golden Core cultivator of your Myo Shou Palace arrives?"
"Afterwards, I will continue to retaliate against the female cultivators of your Myo Shou Palace. The taste of your three junior sisters was not bad. I'm already starting to miss it."
Lan Mian laughed wildly, and his Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation gradually increased. The intensity of the erupted true energy alone was comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
His gaze then locked onto Chen Changsheng.
Compared to the Myo Shou Palace disciples, he hated this self-righteous outsider even more.
He was clearly just the owner of Dao Bao Pavilion, but he inexplicably wanted to interfere in the affairs of Myo Shou Palace. It was simply courting death!
"I've been tolerating you for a long time. You've only just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so you really think you're a big deal?"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Lan Mian's figure appeared in front of Chen Changsheng. His five fingers were bent like a swimming dragon probing its claws, fiercely and sharply grabbing towards Chen Changsheng's chest.
He wanted to peel Chen Changsheng's heart alive and let the other party watch his beating heart be crushed by him on the spot!
"Young Master, be careful!!"
The Myo Shou Palace disciples couldn't help but cry out.
At this time, Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Lan Mian, who was close at hand, with a strange expression. Then, his figure moved, and his palm suddenly pressed on Lan Mian's face one step faster.
Immediately afterwards, a roaring explosion erupted!
Lan Mian's face was pinched by the sudden palm, and his entire body fell to the ground without resistance.
The moment his head collided with the ground, the ground shattered inch by inch, stirring up dust!
