When the villain knows the plot

"Roar——" Under the dying struggle, this old beast turned into a god, but still smashed the head of a disciple of the Yingzhou sect with one claw.

This is the most powerful monster they have encountered since they stepped into the blessed land, and it has reached the realm of transforming gods!Fortunately, this black unicorn is extremely weak, it seems that the old wound has not healed, and it can only use [-] to [-]% of its strength.Even so, it took dozens of breaths for everyone to grind him to death.

One person died in battle, Elder Jing and two disciples were slightly injured, and the others were more or less killed, which can be described as a heavy loss.

"If I didn't take that elixir last night, and I'm still seriously injured..." Xie Xiaoqing was secretly startled, if he was still injured, he might not be able to dodge Hei Qilin's desperate blow just now Drive away, and then his head will be smashed like this dead disciple!

If he was in danger...others would not care about him, he glanced at the plain-robed figure with a calm expression, Master would never do anything for him, right?

On the road of seeking the Tao, one should indeed only rely on one's own strength.He shouldn't still be subconsciously relying on the master... Let the master hear it, maybe if he doesn't say it on the surface, he is laughing at himself in his heart, right?

Everyone didn't dare to delay in this forest, and continued on their way with injuries.The next half day was uneventful.

In the evening, they had entered a gorgeous peach forest.According to his spiritual sense, the breath of the monster has completely disappeared.In front of you is a towering pavilion.Nine-story terraces, eaves and corners, and golden glazed tiles are shining.Several peach trees surround the building, almost covering the entrance.

This is the destination of their trip!

Everyone was not in a hurry to step into this seemingly exquisite pavilion.Fairy Qinghe stopped first and glanced at the elders, and everyone came to understand and spit out spiritual power from their palms.All kinds of brilliance gathered in one place, forming an eight trigrams array on the ground.

Suddenly, a pillar of snowy light gushed out from the center of the magic circle, reaching the sky, almost piercing through the gloomy sky.Fairy Qinghe and Elder Chen Hong each threw a jade slip into the circle.After three breaths, Yujian disappeared in the beam of light.

Since they came here to scout the way for the sect, they naturally wanted to report everything they had gained from the scouting.In the jade slips of the two of them, what happened along the way, what kind of dangers they encountered along the way, and the details of the road map of the Heavenly Immortal Mansion are written.At this moment, the jade slips have been sent back to their respective sects.

After completing the mission of the sect, everyone looked at the pavilion in front of them again.They all know that the danger hidden inside is much greater than this blessed land outside.

After stepping in, whether it is life or death, besides fighting for oneself, one has to fulfill God's will.

But it's all come here, how can anyone want to back down?The Yuanying elders relied on their cultivation, while the Jindan disciples also longed for the "opportunity to ascend to immortality" that Fairy Qinghe said.

Xie Xiaoqing naturally had to follow his master, but why didn't the other disciples know the danger and volunteered?If you are a timid person, you will not join this trip at all.

"There are no traces of monsters here, and we don't have to wait until dawn," Fairy Qinghe said, "Let's rest here for two hours and recover a bit before entering the building. I know everyone can't wait anymore .”

No matter which celestial being once lived here, he must not want to see monsters wandering outside the house.A magic circle to drive away monsters should be set up near this pavilion, so it is a safe place.

"That's right." Chen Hong said with a smile, "Now we have reported back all the information we have found, and we will plan for ourselves in the future. According to the rumors and the terrain map, there are actually nine checkpoints in this building , there are a lot of treasures in the building, and the route is extremely complicated, even if you come several times, you won’t be able to move them out. Except for the exercises, secret books, and prescriptions that we can share with others, the magic treasures, elixir, and even the secret treasures that we have obtained It belongs to whoever gets it, and it can be exchanged with each other, but you are not allowed to fight for it! Otherwise, I am afraid that you will die to seize the treasure, but you will not die out of this building!"

At the end, the voice turned harsh.

"That's natural." "Elder Chen is right." Everyone said one after another.

They all sat down and began to adjust their spiritual energy.At present, everyone dare not slack off.

The three people who were slightly injured also quickly swallowed the elixir in order to recover from their injuries as soon as possible.

……

Two hours later, everyone turned their lights to escape to the entrance of the small building.

Ling Lian stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed Xie Xiaoqing's hand who also turned into light and flew away.

"Master?"

"Follow closely." Ling Lian said lightly.

In a blink of an eye, they were already in a place with a faint mist. The size of this place seemed to be far from what the small building could bear.The pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings seem to be just appearances.

The fog here is not as thick as the mirage, and it can still be noticed that there are other people nearby.They seem to have been scattered to all corners of the place.

For a while, everyone was silent. "Zhi Zhi" "Zhi Zhi" shrill mouse sounds sounded in the dense fog, as if tens of millions of rats were lurking underground.

Ling Lian knew that Xie Xiaoqing obediently let him hold his hand, and was standing beside him right now.

As for the others, according to their spiritual sense, the one closest to them is also tens of feet away.

Ling Lian laughed in his heart.Take your time to break through the first three checkpoints.

The first three levels were not difficult, but they were quite time-consuming, and the things he produced were not what he wanted.

Taking advantage of this time, he naturally wanted to take Xie Xiaoqing to a more useful place.

After chanting the mantra silently, a misty light floated up from his body, covering him and Xie Xiaoqing.Ling Lian used this concealment technique to prevent others from spying on his actions, and then recruited from his dantian the jade slip obtained from the highly poisonous cultivator of transforming spirits.

Stretching out a hand, the jade was shattered into powder, and a small and exquisite sapphire talisman protruded from it.

This sapphire talisman is the token for entering the hidden place, and it was brought out by the cultivator who transformed himself into it by mistake.

He waited until Xie Xiaoqing came out of the building and brought the antidote to him in the dense forest, then broke open the jade slip and gave Xie Xiaoqing this sapphire talisman as a last thank you gift.Xie Xiaoqing had to go back to the building again, and walking up again was considered a toil.

Knowing the secret of the sky, it will save a lot of trouble.

Ling Lian glanced at him, while Xie Xiaoqing was watching his actions in astonishment.

Ling Lian did not explain, holding him with one hand, and urged the sapphire talisman with the other.

In the blink of an eye, they were already in a valley full of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

"Master, what is this place?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.

"The hidden place outside the nine checkpoints." Ling Lian said lightly.

"We're the only ones here?" Xie Xiaoqing showed a look of surprise, "You wouldn't use that topographic map to lure everyone else in..."

He's suspecting that he's doing something bad again, isn't he?

Ling Lian smiled slightly.

"They went to the place where they were supposed to go. No matter whether they live or die, I can't blame me. It's just another chance for me to bring you here."

Regardless of whether Xie Xiaoqing believed it or not, he turned around and left.

Xie Xiaoqing also followed up.

This hidden place may seem peaceful, but in fact it also hides murderous intentions. It is not a place for competent people to stand and chat.The cultivator who transformed himself accidentally got poisoned here.However, Ling Lian's body is also heavily poisoned at the moment, even if he gets hit again, there will be no hindrance.

……

Big blue-purple double-petaled flowers spread all over the ground, and the rich fragrance of flowers blows over us.

Flying closer, only to find that among the waist-high flowers, there are several beautiful women picking flowers in bamboo baskets.

"There are other people here?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.

As soon as the words came out, he had already reacted.

"Yes, those are just puppets." Ling Lian said.

Puppet dummy... But he didn't know that what Xie Xiaoqing thought of was the "Master" he had transformed into a wooden statue to relieve his missing... It's just that these dummy seem to be much more cleverly made.

"Be careful." Flying over the sky full of flowers, Ling Lian suddenly uttered a sentence.

At this moment, among the gorgeous and fragrant flowers on the ground, countless bright yellow insects flew out, like a burst of sand dust raised from the ground.

Ling Lian waved his sleeve, and a large black flame gushed out from the bottom of the sleeve. At the same time, the Jinyun Phantom Umbrella flew out from his storage bag, and three golden brocade clouds swirled on the umbrella cover, releasing a seemingly virtual yet real Hua Guang, protect them in it.

Xie Xiaoqing also quickly waved a cloud of green rain, and these bugs melted when they met the rain, and the surroundings immediately became clear.

Although their moves are formidable, these bright yellow beeswax worms are more in number, coming to Huaguang one after another.Fortunately, the Jinyun Magic Light Umbrella is a fairy weapon, so it will be safe for a while.

"Master, those dummies are also attacking!" Xie Xiaoqing said.

Naturally, Ling Lian had already discovered that the puppets carrying the flower baskets had also attacked them.Every flower in the basket was thrown by them as a sharp weapon.

On their beautiful faces, which were supposed to be cold and expressionless, there were strange smiles on their faces!

Under the control of Xie Xiaoqing's mind, emerald green vines emerged from the ground continuously, entwining them like a thousand snakes dancing wildly, but they could only entangle them for a moment before being freed.

Under the siege, both of them remained calm.Once a puppet shows its flaws, it will be killed with a thunderous blow.

However, there are quite a few puppets, and they can't be killed all at once.

The flowers they threw hit the brilliance of the phantom umbrella like a shower, and they made a clanging sound of gold and iron.

These flowers are the most terrifying things, and the wax worms are only poisonous because they sucked the nectar.

The brilliance of the phantom umbrella flickered, and it was almost unbearable.Xie Xiaoqing's Slashing Sword also shot out, emitting bursts of black evil energy to strengthen the barrier for the phantom umbrella.

These puppets are not manipulated by people, but obey the central command...

Among them, one is the center!

While Ling Lian was fighting hard, she was thinking in her heart.But which of these puppets with different appearances but no difference other than that is the center?

He fled under the protection of the phantom umbrella and Zhanye sword all the way, flicked his fingers all the way, and moved with his thoughts, dozens of black flames attacked everywhere trickily.

When attacking various puppets, their actions will be slightly different.

The other puppets are controlled by the center, so the movements should be half a minute slower.And no matter which puppet his Red Lotus Fire is attacking, the center will first ensure its own safety and avoid it immediately to avoid accidental injury.

It was her... Ling Lian finally locked on a beautiful woman with plum blossom makeup on her forehead.

He flew out of the phantom umbrella without hesitation.The crumbling brilliance shrank again, only covering Xie Xiaoqing, and at this moment the brilliance became more stable.

Ling Lian has turned into lightning and turned into a sword with his fingertips. The fingertips condensed great power and passed through the heart of the central puppet.

This blow is so fast that no one can dodge it!

All puppets stopped abruptly.

But the bright yellow beeswax worms were still rushing towards him frantically.

"Master!" Xie Xiaoqing's voice trembled, and his tone had changed.

He rushed forward and hugged him in his arms, and the double defensive barrier of the Phantom Umbrella and the Zhanye Sword enveloped the two of them again.

After two breaths, they finally flew out of the sea of ​​blue and purple flowers and landed by a lake.

"It's safe here." Ling Lian said.

Xie Xiaoqing quickly let go of him and checked his injuries.He only took a moment to break out of the defensive barrier, and he was already bleeding through his clothes!

He looked anxious, but Ling Lian didn't take it seriously: "It's just some flesh and blood wounds. The poison carried by these beeswax insects is the most terrifying. But I have already been infected with severe poison, so I don't care about more. It's you ..."

He glanced at Xie Xiaoqing's hand, only then did Xie Xiaoqing feel that his fingertips were itching, and when he looked down, it turned black and swollen.

But when he hugged Ling Lian just now, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect that drilled on his skin.

Xie Xiaoqing's body shook, and he looked at him in a daze.

"Master..."

The poisonous blood from his fingertips had melted into Ling Lian's mouth.

Ling Lian put his hand down, and instead of correcting him that he should call him "Master", he responded with a faint "Mmm".

He sat down on the spot, crushed a poison-fixing pill and put it in his mouth, and began to adjust his breath to suppress the poisonous gas surging up in his body.

Xie Xiaoqing looked down at him, and asked softly after a long time, "You know it's me, why didn't you kill me?"

"You have died in my hands once, don't you know me enough?" Ling Lian glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Of course it's because you are useful to me. So whether you want to kill me for revenge or stop me from doing evil, you can You don't have to keep your hands. I don't care about the friendship between master and apprentice."

He smiled again and said: "Since you dare to come back, you must have something to rely on. I think your cultivation level is probably more than golden core, right? It must be the earth spirit of Chaomu blessed land who has covered you up. But you have to deal with me, you Such a realm is far from enough.”

He didn't say it arrogantly, because it was a fact.

Xie Xiaoqing should see this, and grow up...

The land spirit of Canghai Island told him that Xie Xiaoqing's fate should be his fate.And the "nine" of the Nine Heavens Tribulation is a definite number. If the disasters are eliminated before they take shape, new disasters will evolve.

Ling Lian was naturally unwilling to do so.Known disasters are better than unknown disasters.Not to mention Xie Xiaoqing who already knew him thoroughly.

No matter what he was thinking in his heart or what he looked like... Ling Lian was sure enough to deal with him.

"I do want you to give me an explanation for the people you killed, but I don't want to kill you."

After hearing what he said, Xie Xiaoqing shook her head with gentle eyes: "Even if you kill me, I don't want you to die..."

"If one day, I really think you must die, and I will die with you after I kill you."

Ling Lian had already closed her eyes and was absorbed in concentration, without answering him.

What Xie Xiaoqing said, he still heard clearly in his ears.

There was a rare emotion in his heart.Back then when he was Yuan Xiu of the Canghai School, his feelings were actually very indifferent. Even when he became a Taoist couple with Zhuo Zhiyuan, he just felt congenial and not very unforgettable.

But even such a heart was betrayed.For the next few hundred years, he remained alone.

Although he did not practice the path of ruthlessness, he went further and further on the path of ruthlessness.

If he had met Xie Xiaoqing back then...and embarked on a different path, maybe he would have become a different person?

However, it was too late.

He concentrated on exercising his energy, while Xie Xiaoqing in his spiritual consciousness was always watching him quietly.
