The background board master dressed as the protagonist

Jiang Yumian followed behind the strange man, he didn't show anything unusual, but he was careful every step of the way.

He didn't realize that the hidden formation was a lesson for him, so he became more careful, even without the help of a strange man's magic weapon, he found a convenient way to sneak in.

They crossed the courtyard wall and entered, but neither of them acted rashly, they hid in the shadows in the corner and waited.

Candlelight was lit in Duan Song's room, judging from his aura, he was not the only one in there, there were also two Golden Core stage monks.

Talking in the middle of the night, people had to think of the word "conspiracy", and I don't know if there is something urgent, and they are still here at this time.

Jiang Yumian listened intently, the people in the room were very cautious and couldn't hear what they were saying.

The crescent moon emerged from the clouds again, and the dark corner was still quiet, and it was completely impossible to see that there were two people hiding.

Jiang Yumian took half a step back, avoiding the hand of the strange man who wanted to lift his mask.

He felt that this man was moving his hands and feet, which was a little abnormal, and the brows hidden under the mask frowned.

It's a pity that the mask covered his entire face, not even his eyes, so he couldn't express his dissatisfaction with his eyes.

"Angry?" The strange man laughed softly, retracted his hand and said, "I just don't touch your mask."

"Why did you come to investigate Duan Song?" The man asked again, with many words and many questions.

Jiang Yumian did not answer.

He didn't speak, but the man didn't mind. He said, "It's dangerous here. You should go back first. If you want to know anything, I will tell you after I find out."

This made the two of them seem to be acquaintances, but Jiang Yumian didn't believe that someone would be so kind.

"You know me?" he asked.

"Didn't we meet today?" The man still had a smile in his words, and he sounded in a good mood.

This made Jiang Yumian even more puzzled.

"Are you alone, or is there a response?" The man asked him again.

Jiang Yumian wanted to know the identity of this stranger more than he had doubts about the city of Taichu. He suddenly grabbed the other's wrist, trying to seize his lifeblood and break the yin energy of his body.

The strange man seemed a little surprised by his actions, and quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the blow.

Neither of them wanted to make any noise, so this brief temptation was silent.

When Jiang Yumian was about to catch each other, the stranger sighed very lightly, a faint magic light flashed on his body, and he suppressed Jiang Yumian with his backhand.

Jiang Yumian, who failed to sneak attack but was grabbed by the wrist, frowned, and he didn't move again.

If he struggled, he didn't know whether the other party would choose to let him go, or continue to fight. To be on the safe side, he should calm down first, so as not to be discovered by the three Golden Core monks in the room.

The opponent's cultivation level is actually not as high as his, but he has borrowed the power of a magic weapon.

It has only been half an hour since we met outside, and this person has taken out two heaven-level magic weapons with completely different auras, all of which are not low-level, so they should be people with status and family background.

Jiang Yumian tried to withdraw his wrist while recalling the people he knew.

"Don't guess, I won't hurt you." The stranger seemed to know what he was thinking, and his tone was helpless.

"Do you want to know who is in the room?" the man asked.

Jiang Yumian felt that the other party wanted to divert his attention, but he had to say that he really wanted to know.

"Don't move around, I'll show you." The man still held his hand and pulled him towards him.

Jiang Yumian was not used to being so close to people, so he whispered, "Hands."

The strange man chuckled and said, "You hate me?"

Jiang Yumian didn't speak, his brows furrowed even tighter. Why did this person speak strangely, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he said coldly, "It's natural."

The man laughed twice, but fortunately he still remembered their current situation, and quickly restrained himself.

After the wrist was released, Jiang Yumian suppressed his displeasure.

And the man, as he himself said, took out a magic weapon and used it in front of the two of them.

The air in front of Jiang Yumian's eyes seemed to be brushed by a pair of invisible hands, revealing the figures in the room.

There are similarities with the water mirror.

The technique of water mirror is not difficult, and he can use it, but it may be discovered by Duan Song and others. This magic weapon is obviously much more advanced.

Besides Duan Song, there were two male cultivators in the room. After seeing the face of one of them, Jiang Yumian's heart skipped a beat. He was both surprised and felt that this would work.

The Wu Qin who had fought against him in Hanxu Dongtian suddenly appeared in front of him.

As for the other male cultivator, Jiang Yumian didn't know him, but he had written down his appearance and the weapon he was holding, so he would definitely recognize him if he met again in the future.

It seems that the City of Absolute Beginning and the clay figurine doppelgänger are indeed involved.

The appearance of Wu Qin confirmed Jiang Yumian's guess. Even if the missing person is real, there is already a clay figurine substitute in secret.

Maybe one day they will be replaced, after all, the cultivation base of junior disciples is nothing in the eyes of these golden core monks.

He thought of the few missing disciples he met, whether Ji Rong, Yu Honglian or the two brothers who were fighting, the highest cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, not even the peak.

During these days of the demon extermination conference, more or less disciples have to go out. With the strength of Taichu City, they can completely replace the real person without anyone noticing.

No matter how advanced the magic weapon is, it must be activated with spiritual power to use it.

When they saw Duan Song suddenly looking at them with a cold gaze, they knew they had been discovered.

"Leave separately, I will lead them away, and wait for me at Luofengpo in half an hour."

After the strange man finished speaking in a low and fast manner, he collected a bit of gloom and left.

Seeing that the other party really lured Duan Song and the others away, Jiang Yumian took the opportunity to leave the inner city without hesitation.

Luofengpo, Jiang Yumian has been here for half a quarter of an hour.

The man shrouded in yin finally appeared.

"They were chasing too closely, and I had to go around a long way to get rid of it." The man explained.

In the second half of the night, there were fewer clouds, and the crescent moon hung above the night sky. The moonlight at this moment is not bad.

Jiang Yumian couldn't see through that layer of yin, so he couldn't see what this person looked like.

"Who the hell are you?" he asked, confused.

If at the beginning he only regarded the other party as a stranger with bad intentions, but after the other party tried his best to lure Duan Song and others away just now, it all turned into doubts. He really didn't remember that he knew this person.

The man also seemed to be hesitating and didn't answer right away.

"Leaving aside this, how much do you know about the rumored clay figurine substitute?"

Seeing that he avoided the question, Jiang Yumian didn't pursue the question, but only said, "I know a little bit."

"It's good to know." The strange man seemed relieved, and said, "Don't be caught by anyone. The person carrying the piano just now is inextricably linked to the clay figurine. If you encounter it in the future, remember to avoid it." Let him go."

"Also, don't come to Absolute Beginning City. Duan Song has colluded with those people, and it is estimated that they have already started to attack secretly."

Hearing him talk about Wuqin, Jiang Yumian stared at each other and asked, "Do you know the person who is carrying the qin?"

"Well, I have." The man replied, his tone was quite calm.

Wu Qin was also there when he was tracking Wan Dao that day, but there were a lot of people that day, besides him and Pei Ming, many people had seen Wu Qin.

"Where have you seen it?" He asked, for the first time he had the thought of asking the truth.

The other party smiled and said, "I've seen it elsewhere."

This sentence made Jiang Yumian see the other party's defense, and he thought it was normal.

"Are you from Dongzhou or Beiyu?" The strange man asked.

Jiang Yumian didn't want to answer at first, but he noticed that the other person's eyes seemed to be on his mask all the time, seeming to be probing, so he lied and said, "Dongzhou."

Hearing this, the man nodded and murmured, "Sure enough."

Jiang Yumian's five senses are sharp, so he heard it, and he was even more puzzled, what is meant by "true".

The person I met tonight was really incomprehensible. Judging from the tone of voice, the other party seemed to know him, but the result of asking was not the case.

"Anyway, Dongzhou is not safe now. If possible, leave here as soon as possible." The man said.

"If you have no place to go, you can find me in the Northern Territory. I have a place to stay there."

Jiang Yumian did not agree, trying to find some flaws in the other party's words and deeds.

The man thought he didn't want to go to the Northern Territory, and said while thinking: "If you don't want to go, remember to be careful."

"Or bring this, everything within a radius of ten miles can be destroyed."

As if worried, the man took out the magic weapon he used before.

Jiang Yumian could hardly hide her curiosity. This person was very strange, and she was wary of him, but for a stranger, it was too kind for him.

He suddenly asked, "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

The man was taken aback by these words, and looked up at him.

Suddenly there was a shadow in front of him, Jiang Yumian subconsciously took two steps back, he was not used to being so close to a stranger.

"That's right." The man wanted to reach out to touch his mask, but he was dodged.

mask?

Jiang Yumian thought to himself that he just picked up this mask from the warehouse, and didn't even pay attention to what it looked like.

"I've never seen you," he said.

The man smiled and said, "I know."

It was really strange, Jiang Yumian couldn't figure out who the other party was and what their purpose was.

"Let's take a look at this first. This is called Qiankun Xiaotianyan. I will teach you how to use it. It will be used for self-defense in the future."

The man turned his words back to the magic weapon.

Jiang Yumian looked at his palm subconsciously, but the magic weapon in his hand was suddenly activated, obviously aimed at him.

The cold wind howled, Jiang Yumian lost track, and Luofengpo was only left with a black shadow that was sent flying tens of feet away with a palm.
