The journey that originally took an hour took Gu Zhao only half an hour to reach his destination despite his anxiety.

From a distance, he could see Tao Nansi's anxious expression, and... Lu Sheng lying on the ground.

The two of them had no time to reminisce about the past, so Gu Zhao asked directly: "What's going on? What happened?"

Tao Nansi's answer was very concise, "That Cao An took away the soul of the second senior brother. It happened suddenly, and after he succeeded, he turned into black smoke and disappeared. I didn't catch up."

"Black smoke?"

Gu Zhao immediately remembered something. She took out the photo stone and showed Tao Nansi the scene when Shen Biyue escaped.

After reading it, Tao Nansi nodded solemnly, "Yes, it's this kind of black smoke."

Gu Zhao's face darkened, "It seems that this Cao An is also an evil cultivator, and maybe he is related to Shen Biyue."

"It must be related." Tao Nansi said firmly, "The technique of turning into black smoke and escaping is very special. It is not something ordinary evil cultivators can do."

What she didn't tell Gu Zhao was that she had an unforgettable memory of this black smoke because the group of people who killed her parents knew this technique.

After the group of people were killed by the master, she had never seen this kind of black smoke in Fengji Continent in the past few years, and she never expected to encounter it again under such circumstances.

However, there is no need to tell the junior sister these things at the moment. It will only cause more troubles and will not do any good.

Gu Zhao knew that Tao Nansi knew a lot about evil cultivators because of her Heavenly Evil body, so she didn't think much about it.

"Did Shen Biyue instigate Cao An to do it?" Gu Zhao guessed.

After saying that, he shook his head again, feeling something was wrong.

If Shen Biyue had such a good opportunity, why would she take away the soul of her second senior brother? Wouldn't it be better to just kill the second senior brother and steal the Chaos Tree sap?

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her.

She raised her head in shock and looked at Tao Nansi, and they both said in unison: "Second Senior Brother's younger brother!"

Only he needs Lu Sheng's soul to replenish his soul.

Now that the truth is revealed, they were still careless. They did not expect that the parents of the second senior brother would know their whereabouts, nor did they expect that they would collude with evil cultivators.

In addition, Cao An saved his second senior brother and kept a low profile on the road, so no one noticed that there was something wrong with him.

Without saying anything, Gu Zhao immediately used the family searching formation to try to find traces of the second senior brother and his family.

But I don’t know whether it was because they were too far away or because they were prepared and failed.

By now, Gu Zhao and Tao Nansi had calmed down.

Tao Nansi analyzed rationally, "Their purpose of taking the second senior brother's soul is simply to use the soul to replenish the soul. However, this evil method requires at least the second senior brother's soul to be refined with secret methods for seven days and seven nights in advance to ensure that the two souls are completely compatible. , so we currently have seven days to save."

"As long as we rescue the second senior brother's soul within seven days, everything will still be possible."

Hearing that there was still a chance, Gu Zhao was sure, so she took out the golden cage given to her by Li Xiaoqi and locked Lu Sheng's body in it.

"Let's go find Sang Zhi."

Half an hour later.

Sang Zhi looked at the two people hurriedly in front of him with a confused look on his face.

What's wrong with Gu Zhao's expression as if he's seeing his own brother?

How many times have I told him not to be so enthusiastic? He is so scared!

However, after the two explained their intentions, Sang Zhi's originally unserious expression gradually became serious.

"What black smoke?" The expression on Sang Zhi's face was unprecedentedly solemn.

Seeing this, Gu Zhao was startled. Sang Zhi's reaction was not right. Could it be that he had also seen this kind of black smoke?

As she spoke, she played the image recorded on the photo stone.

Seeing Shen Biyue running away, his eyes suddenly shrank, obviously thinking of something.

"Have you seen it?" Who asked, but Gu Zhao's tone was affirmative.

Sang Zhi took a deep breath and said, "This matter is of great importance. I have to go back to the pavilion."

After saying that, he hurriedly took a few drops of blood from Lu Sheng's fingertips and blended them into a compass-shaped magical weapon.

After doing all this, he handed the compass to Gu Zhao, "Follow the instructions of the compass and you can find the location of Lu Sheng's soul."

"I'll lend you the compass first and return it to me next time we meet."

After taking the compass, Gu Zhao wanted to ask something else. Unexpectedly, this guy used some secret method to run faster than a rabbit. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Seeing his eager look, Tao Nansi's heart sank slightly.

"Little junior sister, do you still remember the history of the Numerology Pavilion that I told you before?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhao subconsciously replied: "Remember, it is said that the Numerology Pavilion was once very popular in Fengji Continent thousands of years ago, but then something unexpected happened and the whole pavilion suddenly disappeared..."

At this point, she paused, and a terrible thought came to her mind.

Based on Sang Zhi's performance just now, could it be that the reason why the Numerology Pavilion was hidden from the world ten thousand years ago is also related to the black smoke?

Her heart sank slightly, but now was not the time to dwell on this, saving the second senior brother was the most important thing.

She said: "Put everything else aside for now. Let's go find the second senior brother first."

Tao Nansi nodded, but the sense of urgency in her heart became stronger and stronger.

Originally, she just thought that her encounter with the group of evil cultivators was an accident. After all, she is the body of the evil spirit and can easily provoke them. But now it seems that there is always a force unknown to her behind all of this?

Tao Nansi secretly clenched her fists. Her strength was improving too slowly!

The two of them were already in a hurry, and because they had other things on their minds, they hurried on at an unprecedented speed. It only took them less than a day and a half to find the location indicated by the compass...

Luoyan City.

Luo Yancheng was quite far away from Lu Sheng's original home, Dahang Mountain. It seemed that his parents had moved in advance.

"Sisi, do you think the people in the city are a little weird?"

As soon as he entered the city, Gu Zhao noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the city. Although the people walking on the street looked normal, upon closer inspection, there was a dark aura lingering between their brows.

"This is raising food."

Tao Nansi has dealt with evil cultivators a lot, and she could see the problem at a glance, "There should be evil cultivators in the city. The monks living in the city will be affected subtly. Over time, they will become silent." The rest becomes 'food' for evil cultivators."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao rolled his eyes and noticed something.

"Then what we look like now isn't it too eye-catching?"

Tao Nansi looked at her and understood what she meant instantly.

The two of them concealed their presence and secretly went to a house to get two pieces of inconspicuous clothes.

After putting on her clothes, Gu Zhao used the evil energy from the Nine Bone Sword to disguise it as black energy, and applied it to her and Tao Nansi's eyebrows.

The other two people also put on some disguises on their faces, and they looked like two ordinary-looking young monks in the Qi training period.

After disguising themselves, they did not rush to find anyone. Instead, they quietly wandered around the city to find out the news.
