Starting Cultivation During a Trip-Chapter 113 - 93: Wang Family of the Worshiping Star Sect! Bus Route 310
Early in the morning, Zhang Fan left his home.
Today, he arranged to meet Li Yishan before going to work, as he had to return to East University to retrieve his alumni card and personal records.
"I’m so damn upset, you should take a day off tomorrow."
Last night, the first thing Zhang Fan said to Li Yishan when he picked up the phone was to vent his grievances.
"What’s going on?"
"Do you still remember Qin Yilong? The senior who was three years ahead of us?"
"I remember, weren’t you quite close to him?" Zhang Fan replied.
"Yesterday, his wife came to find me..."
On the other end, Li Yishan’s voice became hesitant.
Turns out, Qin Yilong and his wife had been married for almost two years but couldn’t conceive a child. They went to the hospital, and it turned out the problem was with the husband; they would need IVF to have a child.
However, the upfront cost was fifty thousand, which they couldn’t afford. But they wanted a child.
"So Brother Long had his wife come to me..." Li Yishan paused, leaving Zhang Fan dumbfounded.
"Damn it, how do you end up in these situations? Are you even human?"
"I was really hesitant at the time and directly said it wasn’t right, feeling guilty towards Brother Long..." Li Yishan lamented, "At least wait until Brother Long isn’t home, or do it at a hotel..."
"I hadn’t even finished speaking when his wife slapped me across the face."
"Why?" Zhang Fan asked in confusion.
"She said they wouldn’t borrow the money from us."
"..."
"Do you think I was wronged for being well-intentioned?"
"You totally deserve it." Zhang Fan burst into laughter and could only agree with Li Yishan.
"That cracked me up."
After a night, Zhang Fan thought of this matter again, and couldn’t help but smile.
Just as he left Hongfu Garden, a large excavator parked at the entrance, standing out in front of this dilapidated old neighborhood.
"Brother Fan."
Xiong Ba rolled down the car window and waved.
"Hmm!?"
Zhang Fan was surprised; he didn’t expect Xiong Ba to appear at his door early in the morning.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Fan walked over, unable to help but ask.
"Let’s talk in the car, traffic will start soon." Xiong Ba hesitated.
Zhang Fan paused for a moment, opened the car door, and sat down, then saw a familiar face in the back seat.
"Xiong Qianqiu."
"Morning." Xiong Qianqiu didn’t even turn her head, greeting coldly while looking out the car window.
Logically, Zhang Fan had crippled her cultivation; the two should have been rivals, yet right now, Xiong Qianqiu’s attitude was quite mysterious.
"Why is she here too? Isn’t she your nemesis?" Zhang Fan whispered.
"I can hear you." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Xiong Qianqiu’s voice came from the back.
"Xiong Qianxing is dead."
Xiong Ba started the car and suddenly spoke.
"Dead? How did he die?" Zhang Fan was stunned. When he left Xiong Family Village, the man was alive and well.
In fact, that day, a person like Xiong Qianxing didn’t even have the qualifications to make a move, was completely intact, so how could he be dead overnight?
At this moment, through the rearview mirror, Zhang Fan noticed Xiong Qianqiu staring at him with a suspicious look.
"Wait a second... you don’t suspect I did it, do you!?" Zhang Fan’s eyebrows raised, he said solemnly, "Murder is a crime... it’s wrong."
"Someone does indeed suspect..." Xiong Ba shook his head. "But the family elders side with you."
"With Xiong Sanqi backing you, who wouldn’t stand by?" Xiong Qianqiu said flatly.
"What exactly happened?" Zhang Fan pursed his lips and asked.
"He was found in the morning, as well as Gu Mingchen, and when he returned, he was already very weak..."
Xiong Ba said in a deep voice, "The family elders have checked, and their Primordial Spirits are gone."
"Their Primordial Spirits gone!?" Zhang Fan’s eyes narrowed, and a name surfaced in his mind.
"Wuwei Sect!?"
"Perhaps... the family has already reported this incident to the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance." Xiong Ba said in a serious tone.
Although he didn’t get along with Xiong Qianxing, he didn’t have much feeling about the other’s death. But he was part of the Xiong Family, and the situation of dying without a Primordial Spirit is no small matter.
"Any matter related to Wuwei Sect, the Daoist Alliances everywhere have to report to the Yujing White Crane Temple." Xiong Qianqiu suddenly said.
"Before daylight today, experts from the Daoist Alliance have come to investigate."
"Most likely it’s the Wuwei Demons, they are becoming increasingly reckless." Xiong Qianqiu said in a serious tone.
Sixty years ago, during the Jiazi Demon-Vanquishing, the top cultivator [Three Corpses Daoist] had a magical combat with Chu Chaoran at the East Peak of Mount Tai, encountered tribulation, perished, and vanished.
Since then, Wuwei Sect disappeared, remaining hidden without a trace.
Who would expect, many years after the Jiazi, the Wuwei Sect seems to have revived recently. These demons act mysteriously and dominantly, as if nothing is off-limits.
"Things being unusual usually involve demons." Zhang Fan said calmly.
The resurgence of the Wuwei Sect surely wasn’t just recent, but their sudden boldness, even not hiding their traces, indicates only one possibility...
"These people have found sufficient backing and confidence."
"Why did you come find me?" Zhang Fan suppressed his guesses and asked.
"There’s a gathering today; it was supposed to be Xiong Qianshan who attended, but now he’s busy with his brother’s funeral, so I have to go instead." Xiong Ba said, somewhat reluctantly.
A person’s brother has died, so naturally, he has no interest in dealing with other trivial matters.
"Gathering? What gathering? What does it have to do with me?"
"Worshiping Star Sect’s Wang Family’s gathering."
At this point, Xiong Qianqiu spoke.
In Yujing City, the Wang Family is a major clan not inferior to the Xiong Family, their lineage stems from the [Worshiping Star Sect].
Worshiping Star originates from the Dragon Tiger Zhang Family; originally it was a ritual to eliminate disasters, grant blessings, and extend life, known as [True Worship and Star Worship]. Later, a branch of Daoists devoted solely to the Beidou Seven Stars as their main deity, developing Daoist Skills, and calling themselves the [Worshiping Star Sect].
