Chapter 340: Things Have Reached This Point, Is There Still Any Hope?

After a moment of shock and suspicion, Qi Yuan forcibly suppressed the nervousness in his heart and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Tu, didn't you say before that the demonic cultivator's destiny was special and couldn't be divined or deduced… Why can you confirm the other party's whereabouts now?"

"Brother Qi might not be aware." Faced with this question, Tu Ruoxu had no suspicions and explained with a smile, "How can there be absolute things in this world? Although the Devil Head Qi Da's destiny is the [Demon Star Reverses Fate] and his fate trajectory is difficult to peek at, he is carrying several items he obtained from me."

"If the divination does not involve that Demon Star, but only locates the lost items, the result of the divination will not be affected."

"Currently, those lost items must be with the person we are looking for. As long as we find them, we can naturally drag the target out."

"These dozen or so Heaven Derivation Copper Coins are divination treasures personally bestowed by Grandmaster Baili, and they can just happen to be used to deduce the whereabouts of the lost items…"

"Oh, I see. That is truly great. Fellow Daoist Tu is indeed full of wisdom and cleverness; This Qi admires you."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan pretended to be enlightened on the surface, but felt like he had encountered a master in his heart.

You have to admit, this "star of wisdom" really has some skills to be able to come up with such a novel idea.

He was indeed carrying the "stolen goods" snatched from the other party and had never realized the risk. If he hadn't known about this, in a moment of carelessness, he might have really capsized in the gutter…

"Hehe." Tu Ruoxu smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said, "Just a mere petty trick, not worth mentioning."

Just as the two were speaking, Ji Tianpeng on the side urged impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. Isn't it just killing a demonic heretic? Since the direction has been confirmed, just rush over and slaughter the person. Why are you dawdling?"

Seeing this, a flash of displeasure crossed the face of the Boundless Holy Land Dao Child, Zhuang Qingyun, and he retorted with an unkind tone, "None of us invited you to participate in this pursuit operation; it was you who insisted on getting involved. If you have something to do, please go back. Even without you, we can still eliminate the target."

He had always been brooding over the matter of Ji Tianpeng "deliberately spreading rumors about the Linglong Saintess" and held a deep grudge.

If he had been wary of Ji Tianpeng's cultivation before, now that he himself had broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, he was naturally not afraid.

Seeing that the Dao Child of Wuya was constantly clashing with him as if he had eaten gunpowder, even if Ji Tianpeng had a good temper, he would still get angry, not to mention that he was an arrogant and domineering person himself. He immediately scolded angrily, "Are you f***ing sick? Did I provoke you? Do you need to speak so aggressively? If you dare to nag one more word, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"You surnamed Ji, you are the one who is f***ing sick!" Zhuang Qingyun was instantly furious and retorted tit-for-tat, "Don't think that no one knows about the filthy things you did last time. I'm telling you, it's not certain who will be impolite to whom. Do you want to try?"

Hearing this, Ji Tianpeng was slightly stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, mocking, "Zhuang Qingyun, although I don't understand what you are talking about, if you want to ask for a beating, I won't indulge you. Why don't we find a place to spar?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Xiao Yueni couldn't help but frown and spoke up to dissuade them, "Enough! Don't forget that we are out to eliminate demons and defend the path this time. Everyone is a fellow practitioner and should be united. How can you have internal strife over such a small matter?"

"Fairy Xiao is right. The most important thing now is to find that peerless Devil Head who has committed many evils. Will the two Fellow Daoists please calm down."

Tu Ruoxu also hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. After Ji Tianpeng and Zhuang Qingyun glared at each other, they both turned their heads away and stopped paying attention to each other. This discordant little interlude was barely considered to have subsided.

During this period, Qi Yuan had been secretly observing the taciturn Female Sword Immortal not far away, and found that the other party seemed to be immersed in her own world, with no reaction to everything happening around her.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier separating her from the outside world.

Thinking of Xiao Yueni's previous description, Qi Yuan's face couldn't help but become a bit more solemn.

Qin Lingxue's mental state seemed to have really developed a problem!

Compared to when they met last time, it even had a trend of getting worse. Perhaps… that System mission could not be delayed any longer…

Just as he was deep in thought, Tu Ruoxu once again summoned the copper coins in his hand and said in a deep voice, "After such a long delay, the target's position might have changed. Let this Tu perform the Heaven Derivation Divine Art to check."

As he spoke, he scattered the copper coins into the void, pinched seals with both hands, and his lips kept opening and closing, chanting a long string of awkward and lengthy incantations.

Hearing this, Xiao Yueni, Qin Lingxue, Zhuang Qingyun, and Ji Tianpeng immediately gathered around, watching Tu Ruoxu's spellcasting movements with solemn expressions, with wisps of Killing Intent permeating their bodies.

As the top Heavenly Talents of the Righteous Path in the world, no matter how many conflicts they had in normal times, when it came to issues involving the Demonic Path, everyone's stance was consistent.

Of course, except for a certain Dao Child who was secretly feeling guilty…

The next moment, all the dozen or so Heaven Derivation Copper Coins floated up, kept flying in mid-air, and slowly moved, forming the shape of an arrow.

And the tip of the arrow pointed straight in one direction.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the arrow, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a familiar and upright figure.

Qi Yuan: "…"

Good heavens, the Heaven Derivation Copper Coins were pointing at him!

Facing the gazes of everyone looking over, the expression on someone's face was a bit stiff, and he had a feeling of breaking out into a cold sweat.

It's over, it's over!

If he had known this would happen, he would rather die than carry Tu Ruoxu's storage bracelet on him.

If the matter that the Dao Child of Tai Xuan was the Demonic Sect's direct disciple "Qi Da" was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Out of guilt, Qi Yuan subconsciously wanted to turn sideways to avoid it, but he quickly forced himself to endure it.

Because as long as he changed his position, the "arrow" would definitely move along with it, and it would likely arouse greater suspicion by then.

Speaking of which… things have reached this point, is there still any hope?

In a slightly awkward atmosphere, Qi Yuan secretly swallowed his saliva, his heart pounding…
