Sword Pointing at Qing Yuan

Starting from Shen's house, going to the Earth Temple on the outskirts of the city, almost crosses the entire Yangliu Town.

Thinking that the disciples of Qingyuan Sect were acting low-key this time, and they must be trying to hide their eyes and ears at this time, Shen Yu thoughtfully prepared light gauze hats for them.Shen Zhou didn't refuse, and motioned his juniors to bring them.

In the early morning, in the vague white mist, Shen Yu led the four Shen family nursing homes, with the members of the Qingyuan Sect behind them, and the mighty group of people walked quickly from the busy city.

After walking out of the city gate for only [-] steps, they saw a dilapidated blue brick house.Half of the outer wall has already collapsed, and there are few good tiles on the roof. The bare beams are half exposed, and the door is hung crookedly. Weeds are overgrown at the door.

Pushing open the weeds at half a person's height, the door fell to the ground with a slight touch, and a burst of dust flew up.Shen Yu covered his nose and waved his sleeves, and stood aside, "Please come in, Taoist priest."

Shen Zhou didn't give in, and walked ahead of the crowd, stepping into the temple first.

The inside of the temple is not much better than the outside, with cobwebs hanging all over the corners, and the statue of the land god is missing a hand.The wax table was tilted to this side, the incense burner was missing, the dust on the incense table was nearly a foot thick, the red cylinders had faded here and there, and the ground was full of fallen leaves and weeds.

The most striking thing is the three corpses lying on the ground...

The three corpses were all facing upwards. As Shen Yu said, a big hole was dug out in the chest area, blood flowed all over the floor, and the clothes on their bodies were also soaked in blood. It has long been condensed into black lumps, and the smell is choking.Fortunately, it's the winter season, and the corpse hasn't started to visibly decompose yet.

The strange thing is that all three of them had smiles on their faces, as if they were dreaming a sweet dream, ready to wake up at any time, instead of dying with their chests hollowed out...

"Master Shen, please go back first, we will take care of the rest." Through the light veil, Han Xiu's voice was even more solemn.

The unspeakable gloomy atmosphere in the temple has long made Shen Yu and others uncomfortable. Shen Yu bowed his head and hurried away with the nurse.

"It's such a demonic aura..." Shen Zhou stared at the corpse on the ground, and said quietly, "This is the aura of that demon cultivator, right? Junior Sister."

In the midst of contemplation, Tang Yunling was called out unexpectedly. Tang Yunling hesitated, "... Yunling is not sure, senior brother can make his own decision."

Shen Zhou glanced at her from behind the white gauze, but didn't speak.

"Oh? Since Junior Sister is not sure, why don't you go forward and examine the corpse carefully."

"..." If someone else said this, Tang Yunling would definitely argue.It happened to come from Han Xiu's mouth, even Xu Hui, who had always been neither big nor small, dared not speak.

Han Xiu's tone was flat, and he seemed to be discussing but with an undeniable momentum. Tang Yunling blanched, clenched his hands, and walked slowly from the door.

"Squat down and get a better look."

"……Yes."

Enduring the nausea and smell, Tang Yunling reached for the wound of one of the corpses with trembling hands. The white hand was surrounded by white aura, just after it was placed in the big hole in the chest, the naked eye could see strands of light blue floating upwards, and it was about to climb up. When he pointed, Tang Yunling immediately closed his hands and stood up.

"……It's him."

Shen Zhou nodded, turned around and stepped out the door in silence, followed by everyone.Tang Yunling clenched her fists, took one last look at the corpse, and followed her out.Han Xiu stayed at the end, and when everyone walked away, he closed the temple door and set fire to the Earth Temple.

When they returned to Shen's mansion, they found that the door of Shen's mansion was closed tightly, and several people in hard attire stood by the door with nervous expressions on their faces.Seeing Shen Zhou and the others, one of them hurried forward and typed, "The priests are back, the third young master has been waiting in the mansion for a long time, please come here."

A few people by the door opened the door quickly, Shen Zhou didn't ask much, followed the guard in black, stepped into the gate, walked through the main hall, and stopped behind a rockery in the backyard.The nurse in black took out a jade tablet and inserted it into an inconspicuous gap, and the rockery that was originally integrated was split in the middle, revealing an entrance that only allowed one person to walk.

"Taoist chief, please." After speaking, the nursing home took a step ahead.

Entering the slit, there is a narrow passage inside, and people file in, and they enter a small room within the time of walking for a cup of tea.In the empty small room, there was only a desk and a bookshelf in the middle, and the guard stepped forward to pick up the pen holder on the desk and put it in the bookshelf, and the wall behind the desk moved in response, forming another passage.

……

Turning left and right following the nursing courtyard, everyone finally saw Shen Yu in a stone room.

To everyone's surprise, this stone room was actually surrounded by formations. Seeing that there was enough aura in front of it, the person who set up this formation must have surpassed Sword Master and Spirit Master!

There are such advanced people in the Shen residence?Looking at the entire Canglan Continent, there are no more than ten people with such a cultivation level, and their Qingyuan Sect is only comparable to Master Zhangjiao and Master Chiyu!

Everyone was in shock, when Shen Yu saw the person coming, he took off the jade pendant around his waist, put on the aura mask with one hand, activated the formation, and removed the aura layer by layer.

It wasn't until he stepped into the formation that Shen Zhou realized that there were more than a dozen formations, layer upon layer, interlocking one after another, increasing in power. Although they were allowed to enter, it implied deterrence!

Tang Yunling, Xu Hui and the others immediately turned pale. They couldn't see the meaning of these formations, but the suppressed murderous aura permeated the formation, suppressing their aura, and hurriedly gathered all the spiritual power in their bodies to protect their bodies, startling them. Looking at Shen Zhou in fear.

Seeing Shen Zhou's gentle expression as usual, everyone felt relieved. Since the elder brother didn't think there was anything wrong, they didn't need to worry too much.

... Shen Zhou felt something was wrong everywhere!

Outside the formation, one could feel the murderous aura hidden in the aura, but only after stepping inside did one realize that there was such a cumbersome advanced formation inside, and finally set up a heavenly extinction formation!

The other disciples didn't know about Shen Zhou, but they knew it in their hearts.The Heavenly Extermination Formation, as the name suggests, once activated, will destroy all the creatures in the formation, and the power of heaven will be hard to return!Once, when Master mentioned this formation, Shen Zhou still remembered the seriousness on his face. Unexpectedly, he saw it here in person... Didn't Master say that this formation has been lost?

...But Shen Zhou felt that he was not mistaken about the formation talisman formed by the weird spiritual power. How many other formations can remove the spiritual power and forcefully suppress the spiritual power of the people in the formation?

"Master Daoist, please come here, I really need to discuss something..." Shen Yu's face was gloomy, with an ugly expression.

As soon as Shen Yu opened his mouth, several people looked at him in shock, until he couldn't even maintain a serious expression, secretly scrutinizing whether there was anything wrong with him.

Can you not be shocked?As kendo monks, although they dare not say how strong they are, they are still the best among the same level of monks, and they are all suppressed to the point of being unable to stand. Shen Yu is an ordinary person, why can he stay in this battle so easily for so long time? !

Shen Zhou glanced at the fat-white jade pendant in Shen Yu's hand, took a step forward, distracted everyone's attention, and asked, "It's okay for Third Young Master Shen to be straightforward, I don't know what's the matter?"

Shen Yu suppressed the doubts in his heart, looked at Shen Zhou, and said in a deep voice: "To tell the truth, Daoist Shen, our Shen residence has been attacked by thieves..."

I'm afraid this thief is not easy...

Shen Yu was obviously waiting for him to answer, Shen Zhou secretly sighed, resigned himself to his fate and said, "I don't know what's missing?"

"...The Lingzhu was stolen."

Shen Yu stammered, as if a few words were stuck in his throat, but everyone in the morning session was monks, with sharp eyes and ears, and could hear clearly.

"You all go outside and wait." Shen Zhou said with a solemn expression.

Although they don't know what the Lingzhu is, it deserves the senior brother's attention, and they want to send them away, everyone still goes out as promised.

After everyone walked out of the gate of the stone room and disappeared, the formation was closed again to make sure that no one could hear their voices.Shen Zhou turned his head to look at Shen Yu, "But the Wood Spirit Orb passed down from the Shen family was stolen?"

Shen Yu was very surprised that Shen Zhou was able to tell the secret history of the Shen family. Guessing that Shen Zhou must have a prominent status in Qingyuanzong, he said in his mouth: "It is the Wood Spirit Orb... This Wood Spirit Orb is the one that my Shen family has guarded for generations. I don’t know how many days and months I have been in this secret room, and the patriarch came to check every day. It was still placed in the jade box yesterday, and today when I came back from the Earth Temple, I came to this secret room again. Nowhere to be seen. The thieves managed to evade the guards, passed through layers of traps, and took away the Wood Spirit Orb without leaving a trace!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and there were blue veins on Shen Yu's forehead that were throbbing faintly.Not long after he took over the position of patriarch, the Wood Spirit Orb was stolen by someone, how should he explain to the whole family of the Shen family? !

...Guard, what's the use of having more agencies?Isn't the most frightening thing that the thieves can easily go back and forth in this big formation? !

Shen Zhou frowned and looked at the stone platform in the middle of the stone room. There was a green jade box with a cylindrical body, and it was empty inside. It was supposed to be the place where the Wood Spirit Orb was placed. No wonder there was such a pure spiritual energy left.

"I don't know if Changjue has something to do with the person Qingyuanzong is looking for?" Shen Yu was also impatient when the Wood Lingzhu was stolen. The person who is here is bound to be a big trouble.But I don't want to, the Shen family is the first one to be unlucky!Is it really as he thought, that person is a demon cultivator?Shen Zhou and the others were not looking for them, but were ordered to arrest or behead them?

Shen Zhou shook his head, "I don't think so."

Shen Yu's expectant eyes instantly lost their brilliance, and he was very depressed.He originally hoped that if the person Qing Yuanzong was looking for stole the Wood Spirit Orb, Shen Zhou and the others would catch him. Following Qing Yuan Sect's usual style, they would definitely be able to find the Wood Spirit Orb and exchange it with the Shen family.In no mood……

"Although it wasn't done by the person we're looking for, it should be involved. Third young master Shen don't need to worry, Qing Yuanzong will definitely investigate the matter of the Wood Spirit Orb."

A gentle voice sounded, Shen Yu's eyes lit up again, he enthusiastically introduced the history of the Wood Lingzhu to Shen Zhou, dragged Shen Zhou to inspect the clear stone chamber several times, and then sent Shen Yu respectfully. The boat left the stone chamber.
