Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 555 Map of the Giant Que Sect

Song Kezi persisted in urging Zhu Wuyao to hide in the mountains with him to escape the increasingly urgent pursuit.

In the previous few years, the two had a relatively smooth journey through the world.

Zhu Wuyao was able to lead him out of various encirclements and retreat safely, and he was able to handle various assassination attempts with ease. He could even watch the excitement, not only kicking the enemy when they were down, but also occasionally kicking Zhu Wuyao when he was down.

But recently, Song Kezi sensed danger.

Zhu Wuyao's alarmed demeanor, in particular, gave him a bad feeling.

"If only the leader of the Juque Sect could die out of nowhere..."

Song Kezi muttered to himself, utterly despondent.

Zhu Wuyao glanced at him. After spending many years together, Song Kezi had not only gradually figured out Zhu Wuyao's strength, but Zhu Wuyao also knew how to better utilize Song Kezi's abilities.

They can even use experience to judge which of his words might come true and which are useless.

Such a seemingly absurd and ridiculous curse... might actually come true.

"Let's run!"

Zhu Wuyao slowly shook his head.

Having just used the Endless Image to predict the future, she knew that Ge Mingsheng might be in danger. This is why, despite knowing that it would be easier to hide in the wilderness, she still chose to appear in towns all these years.

Zhu Wuyao could escape, but the people she cared about couldn't.

She was afraid that if she ran away, she would regret it and feel a sense of irreversible regret.

Moreover, the whereabouts of a fragment of the Heavenly Dao within the Juque Sect are still unknown. Neither Gu Yiguan nor Zhang Zhihan have been able to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao fragment.

She frowned almost imperceptibly.

The four sects and even the demon race all made extraordinary use of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, placing them in obvious yet unexpected places.

I like to play the "blind spot" game.

Despite Ge Mingsheng's years of lurking in the shadows, he has yet to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao fragments within the Juque Sect and send the news back to Gu Yiguan.

In fact, Zhang Zhihan almost drew a map of the Juque Sect's interior underground, using those small animals as a guide.

Still nothing has been found.

Did she see it but not realize it, or did the fragment of the Heavenly Dao of the Giant Que Sect not appear at all, or was it melted into the Giant Que Sect's Mountain and River Formation?

Zhu Wuyao looked at Song Kezi and said:

"Give up, I'm not going to return you to the Star-Picking Tower."

She has now figured it out: Song Kezi is a deterrent weapon. If the Juque Sect really drives her to the brink of despair one day, having Song Kezi in hand might give her a glimmer of hope and a final deterrent measure.

The fact that Sect Leader Fang handed Song Kezi over to him can be considered a form of "trust".

She continued, "Not only that, if I am surrounded by the Juque Sect, I will definitely take you down with me before I die."

Song Kezi trembled with cold.

For so many years, he has been persistently trying to win over Zhu Wuyao's favor, hoping that she would spare his life in a critical moment.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Wuyao was heartless and remained completely unmoved!

"So, if you don't want to die, then help me figure out where the Juque Sect has hidden the secret treasure that can determine the survival of a sect."

Song Kezi is not only a deterrent weapon, but it can also be very useful at times.

Ignoring Song Kezi's resistance, Zhu Wuyao took out paper and pen, and began writing and drawing on the blank Xuan paper with charcoal. Then, he pulled Song Kezi to the front and said:

"think."

"What is this?"

"Map of the Juque School".

"what?!"

Song Kezi stared wide-eyed at the simple sketch in front of him. He quickly realized that the map was both rudimentary and exceptionally detailed.

It is described as rudimentary because the markings and drawings are rather random and lack any discernible pattern, making some parts incomprehensible. This is not Zhu Wuyao's fault.

Because that's how the map Zhang Zhihan drew was.

There were some markings that Zhu Wuyao couldn't understand either, as they were drawn based on the map she had secretly observed at Gu Yiguan's place.

The reason it is described as detailed is that it marks not only the buildings on the surface, but also the buildings within the area covered by the sect's protective formation and underground structures.

This is a multi-layered map.

"Zhu Wuyao, where did you get this map? It's quite something. Someone actually managed to dig tunnels all over the Juque Sect's underground..."

Song Kezi's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation as he continued:

"Judging from the cartographic logic of this map, many landmarks are marked with simple line drawings, which are definitely not drawn by you."

"Although Zhaixinglou is one of the four sects, it definitely didn't have the ability to create such a detailed map when I left. Hmm... it looks like a compilation of multiple maps!"

"The most important part is that the cartographer is oblivious to worldly affairs and enjoys himself, completely disregarding whether others can understand it. This person is so selfish, with no spirit of sharing whatsoever. Zhu Wuyao, did you steal this? -- Ouch!"

Zhu Wuyao slapped him on the back of the head and said:

"Don't worry about these useless things. I showed you the picture so you could guess who drew it or how I got it."

"Search carefully. If the Juque Sect wanted to hide one of its most important treasures, where would they hide it?"

Life goes on, and so does the trial.

Song Kezi looked at the map while muttering to himself:

"There's a spy in the Giant Gate Sect who's been hiding for years, right? This person has a close relationship with you and might even hold a high position."

"They're almost in power, free to come and go as they please, yet they still haven't betrayed the Star-Picking Tower. Gratitude and loyalty aren't such strong constraints; it must be a deep-seated hatred..."

"But that doesn't make sense either. It can't be someone who specifically maintains the formation, otherwise how could they move around so freely within the Giant Sword Sect..."

"Besides, the Juque Sect is one of the four major sects, surely they can find a spy... Strange."

Ge Mingsheng did indeed face dangerous situations on several occasions.

Zhu Wuyao is also having a headache.

Ge Mingsheng probably thinks he's lucky, because he doesn't retire after achieving his goal and go back to Zhaixing Tower to enjoy his life.

If Zhang Zhihan hadn't been nearby, she might have been able to use this opportunity to unleash her infinite potential and do something shady, and Ge Mingsheng would have died countless times already.

Over the years, she has also attempted to assassinate elders of the Juque Sect.

However, this could easily expose Zhang Zhihan's scheme, and it was also not an easy task, as elders who could rise to the top all had their own methods.

Take, for example, Elder Wu Wei, the master of Wu Guihong and Zhao Huaiyi. He always had arrays around him, so that not even a mosquito could hide, let alone a rabbit.

If she intends to use various coincidences to orchestrate a plan, Wu Wei will sense the slightest aversion and immediately use the trap array around him to shift everything.

This is equivalent to changing the formation arrangement.

In the eyes of the Juque Sect's array cultivators, this is to shift the positions of the surrounding objects and disrupt the layout within a small space.

In the eyes of the Zhaixinglou Guaxiu, this means that the original connections and causal relationships between things have been severed.

However, in the eyes of the sword cultivators of Qingyun Sect, the aura around him had changed, making it difficult for sword energy to reach him;

In the eyes of the Taibai Sect, this approach is a kind of "disturbance" that facilitates escape, breaking harmony with chaos.
