Chapter 29
Lu Muqing: Trying to expose him directly (two updates in one)
Lu Muqing still doesn't know what kind of attitude this elder brother has towards him. He will set off to Lingyong Town with Chen Chunan and his party tomorrow to investigate.
Tonight, after two hours of spiritual training in the virtual space as before, I went to the secret cultivation realm to practice.
According to this speed of cultivation, Lu Muqing's cultivation could reach another level in a few days.
Just when he was cultivating steadily, a man in a black cloak came to where Mo Yi was through the night.
With loyal subordinates leading the way, the devil has harvested nine evil cultivators with fairly good cultivation bases, and allowed them to secretly report the news to "the lord" above them.
After all, he had three Nascent Souls and six Golden Pills under his command, and that person probably expected that it would be difficult to deal with those who smashed the field, so he could hand over all the evil cultivators in that area to him by using the communication jade pendant.
Mo Yi felt funny when he heard this. Xiexiu is not an obedient guy, and he accepts all these people, so he has the nerve to tell me what to say.
Less than two days after coming here, the evil cultivators who had been sealed by the deed received news from their former master, knelt down and respectfully reported:
"My lord, that person who said Pai came to see you."
The devil sat high in the hall, nodded slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he branded the messenger with his own brand and took it under his flag.
The next day, the formation peak of Shengyang Sect.
When Chen Chunan came to find Lu Muqing to gather, he asked, "I heard from Senior Brother that you have someone you know well in Lingyong Town?"
"It's not considered acquaintance, it's just that I have settled there for two months, and I feel that some things are impermanent."
Sometimes Lu Muqing really felt that mortals living in this world are like ants living at the feet of elephants. They don't even know that the catastrophe will suddenly come on that day, and even if they know, they have no power to resist.
"It's okay." Chen Chunan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "We'll investigate and find out the perpetrator!"
Considering that the perpetrator had no fear and dared to commit the crime near the Shengyang Sect, apart from Chen Chunan, eight Foundation Establishment disciples, and an elder Jianfeng traveled together.
The right is to give these new foundation-building disciples a chance to practice.
Chen Chunan whispered in Lu Muqing's ear, "This is Elder Yuanfeng, one of the five sword-wielding elders in Jianfeng."
Although it was a whisper between the two of them, the elders of the Shengyang Sect basically started as Yuanying, so they must have heard it, so Lu Muqing greeted the elder.
Elder Yuanfeng didn't even look at him, he waved his long sleeves and went up with his sword, "Let's go."
Unlike the elder who was optimistic about Lu Muqing, the elder Yuanfeng obviously didn't like Lu Muqing, a young disciple who wanted to cultivate both swords and swords before establishing a foundation, and was so ambitious.
Lu Muqing was fine, he already knew how to fly with a sword, and was about to draw out his sword, but Chen Chunan directly took out a boat-shaped flying magic weapon.
"Brother, you actually have Lingshi to buy a flying magic weapon?" Lu Muqing was amazed.
As we all know, the most useless and expensive flying weapon among monks is the flying magic weapon. Generally, monks can fly with objects, and if they can't, they also have spirit beast mounts.
Chen Chunan scratched his head, "Actually, I didn't buy it. It's not that the younger brothers and sisters who came out have not yet learned how to fly, so I asked the manager to borrow it, and we all went on the road together, and there is no need for Elder Yuanfeng to wait for us."
After he finished speaking, he invited the disciples of Danfeng who practiced pills and the disciples of Beastfeng who brought the wind dog to board the boat, and then turned to ask Lu Muqing:
"Is the junior brother coming?"
"No."
Lu Muqing took out the gaping sword, and the three Jianfeng disciples who saw it burst out laughing.
Although sword repairers have always been relatively poor, they are not so poor that they can use broken swords, or the most expensive thing on them is usually that sword.
"Thank you, brother, I have to practice Yujian flying again."
It's not that there are no spirit stones to buy swords, but Lu Muqing has been so busy these days that he forgot about it, and Mo Yi found some materials and spirit stones to make two good swords, and then he went to buy those one hundred swords. A sword from Lingshi is meaningless.
It took less than half a day to go to Lingyong Town.
Lu Muqing, who had been to Lingyong Town before, looked at the quiet town in front of him. It seemed to be no different from before, even the vermilion archway engraved with the words "Lingyong" hadn't faded a bit.
When setting foot on this boundary, a branch task was triggered on the system panel [Mist: What happened to the tragedy of destroying the town?What is the life and death of 140 people?Please investigate clearly the number of reward points: unknown]
Looking at the text description, Lu Muqing felt that these two thousand and one hundred and forty-one people might not necessarily be dead, and they might even be alive.
Walking along the main street, there was only a dead silence between the houses and streets, and Lu Muqing even saw the hot pot on the street where he bought wontons, the white soup that had solidified and dusted.
Feeling panicked, the Beast Peak girl picked up a small wind chasing dog at her feet and asked:
"Anyone?"
"No, after we received the notice three days ago, we searched the entire Lingyong Town and found no one, not even a dead body."
A disciple who came to investigate affirmed.
"Who is the informer?"
"A farmer who traveled between Lingyong Town and Fusha Village said he came to Lingyong Town to sell things, but he found no one on the street. He thought he had entered a ghost town."
"Let's go and investigate separately first. The two of you are walking together. What's the matter to crush this stone talisman." Elder Yuanfeng said, and distributed the stone talisman to everyone.
The stone talisman is a constant item in the affairs hall, and it can communicate with each other when it is injected with spiritual power. It is often used when the disciples go out to practice, and it can be used to inform everyone who also carries the stone talisman at a critical moment.
There is a specialization in the art field, because there is no clue, and the Taoism practiced by each disciple is different, and the investigation direction is also different. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to huddle together to investigate, so they scattered to investigate.
Chen Chunan and Lu Muqing began to walk along the outside of the town to see if there were traces of formations.
Just like the traces left by the wind, traces are left when cloth passes through the formation, which can be used to take away spiritual stones or spiritual objects, but the traces left by the fluctuation of spiritual power due to the agitation of the formation will still leave clues around.
Formation masters are familiar with, apart from setting up formations and breaking formations, it is easy to see whether formations have been used in a certain place.
However, this was an unfamiliar field for Lu Muqing, who was still learning how to form formations, so he could learn from Chen Chunan.
Regarding his future junior, Chen Chunan is not stingy with teaching: "A general killing formation will always leave traces of swords, guns, swords and halberds transformed into magic formations, while a magic formation will hardly leave superficial traces, but the gathering The remaining spiritual power is hard to dissipate, and it will stay in place..."
While walking and explaining, Lu Muqing was also observing whether there were any corresponding marks.
During the investigation by Sheng Yangzong and his team, they found that the people they sent had also defected to the enemy. "That lord" finally realized that Mo Yi was not easy to deal with, and said through his former subordinate:
"I'll come in person."
Mo Yi is in an old den of evil cultivators, which is very richly decorated, which is far from ordinary monks who emphasize returning to basics. This place is not far from Hongyuan Lake where evil cultivators gather.
The person who came was wearing an all-black cloak with a concealed formation on it, and only one chin was exposed on his masked face. He obviously only had the strength of Jindan's late stage, but he was very fearless.
The most interesting thing is that Mo Yi casually glanced at the small map opened in the corner, and found that the small dot in front of him was actually white.
The visitor was amazed by Mo Yi's unfathomable strength, and his arrogant attitude restrained himself, and he bowed:
"Your Excellency Mo Yi."
The voice is also disguised, like a rough voice rubbed against sand and stones.
When his words fell, the devil's contract also pressed against him.
Failed?Not just Jindan cultivation base?Or something else?
The black-robed man who sensed Mo Yi's movements waved his sleeves and said coldly: "I come to discuss with Your Excellency sincerely, don't toast or eat..."
Demons have never been easy to get along with, and they have no patience with humans who are almost in his diet.
The black-robed man's threatening words hadn't finished yet.
The ink-colored wings with a piercing cold light slashed under the throat of the black-robed man, who bent down to avoid him, and the long tail blade attacked him again, but was blocked by the black-robed man with a dagger.
Quickly dodging the black-robed man who was continuously attacked by the devil, he realized that he might not be Mo Yi's opponent, so he took five steps back and said anxiously:
"I have no intention of being an enemy to you! I apologize for the offense just now."
The demon leaned forward slightly, dissatisfied: "Your sincerity is this dress that hides your head and tail?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment and asked, "May I ask if you are a demon?"
"nature."
Mozu?There is nothing wrong with demons being demons.
So on Mo Yi's small map, the white dot in front of him turned into a small green dot.
The man in black took off his cloak, revealing a face that Lu Muqing was very familiar with.
Lu Muqing, who was following Chen Chunan up to the roof to observe the terrain, almost stumbled and fell, and Chen Chunan quickly helped him up.
"Brother, be careful."
Lu Muqing swallowed, "Brother, do you know where Senior Brother is now?"
Chen Chunan was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly asked this: "Of course I'm in the sect, where else can I go?"
"No, I guess he's out."
The spy is actually by my side, this small map is...reliable and unreliable, so I have to think more about it when I refer to it in the future.
He even wondered if Xie Xu's words about the "destroying town tragedy" with such certainty were due to his handwriting.
Go back to the other side.
The demon resting on his chin with one hand remained calm and provoked nonchalantly:
"Is your face shameful?"
"Do not,"
Xie Xu smiled softly: "It's because it has seen too many people."
Seeing the wings and long tail unique to the alien race, and the aura that seemed to be darkness itself, Xie Xu, who was very familiar with the demon race, directly affirmed his identity.
"Dare to ask how your Excellency arrived at our world. As far as I know, there has been no successful summoning, and the barrier of the seal has not yet been broken."
"Being summoned, I will come here."
"The Summoner..."
"Eat, it's just an eyesore and useless guy."
The devil said angrily, he is not a character who likes to be questioned.
"Who are you? Are you familiar with my Demon Race?"
"Xie Yu, my father has a lot of connections with the demons, so it should be a cooperative relationship."
Good guy, do I not recognize you if I change the word?Your father, right?Tomorrow, I will go and expose his old background.
"You are very strong, but there are many strong people in this world, please be careful to hide..."
The demon interrupted impatiently again: "I don't need you to teach me."
"However... the cooperation you mentioned, I am a little interested."
Cooperation is naturally possible, but judging by the tone, this demon named Mo Yi doesn't seem to know the content of the cooperation.
After all, there are six sects and two realms in the human world, so it's normal that the demons don't have much communication with each other.
Xie Xu smiled even wider upon hearing this, "I'm extremely happy."
Xie Xu naturally knows whether the deceitful demons can be trusted, and Mo Yi also knows how many faces Xie Xu has. The two people with their own ulterior motives began to talk.
Xie Xu, who thinks he has the home court advantage, has the idea of trying to trick Mo Yi, but he doesn't know that Mo Yi not only wants to trick him, but has even started to take action against his family.
Lingyong Town.
As Chen Chunan leaped between the roofs to the highest pavilion in Lingyong Town, Lu Muqing asked him chattingly:
"How many years has senior brother joined Shengyang Sect?"
"It seems... a hundred years ago? I can't remember clearly."
"What about Big Brother?"
"It's almost the same, a few years earlier than me..."
After talking for a while, Lu Muqing knew that Xie Xu was not the suzerain's first disciple, there was originally a senior brother, but Xie Xu passed away unexpectedly in the ninth year of joining the sect.
Moreover, Xie Xu didn't have any parents. He joined the Shengyang Sect because he wanted to avenge his relatives. After investigation, it was found that his parents, including the people in that village, were all killed by evil cultivators.
Of course, Xie Xu, who has been traced to the murder of relatives and enemies, completed his revenge after forming the alchemy and settled his knot.
After speaking, Chen Chunan also said with emotion: "At that time, after the bondage of hatred was removed, the elder brother's cultivation has improved to a higher level."
Lu Muqing: Actually, I don't think it might be Xie Xu's restraint.
"Wait, junior brother, look,"
Chen Chunan, who was observing the surrounding terrain while talking, made a discovery, "From here to here...does it seem like a trace left by the Lost Formation?"
A large-scale fascination formation has a certain influence on monks and ordinary people. As long as it is not a monk with strong spiritual sense or proficient in formations, it will generally not be discovered. The cause of the condition.
"Yes, there is a phantom formation over there, but there seems to have been other formations..."
Lu Muqing raised her eyebrows, and it was a very unfamiliar pattern, "Brother, have you ever seen this kind of formation?"
"I've seen it once." Chen Chunan put away his brisk expression and turned serious:
"Blood River Soul Locking Formation, one of the taboo formations, I encountered it when I went to practice with my senior brother before."
She was a little surprised at first, but when she heard that Xie Xu was behind her, Lu Muqing was suddenly not surprised. This formation, the disappearance case in Lingyong Town, was probably written by Xie Xu.
The most frightening thing is that this person did not show any hostility when talking with him yesterday, his deep and treacherous thoughts can be seen, it is no wonder that Xie Xu has been able to stay in Shengyang Sect for so many years, and he can still worship the Sect Master as his teacher.
Whether it is Lu Muqing who testifies that Xie Xu colluded with the evil cultivator, or Mo Yi openly revealing his cooperation with Xie Xu, Xie Xu who has a "blood feud" with the evil cultivator will certainly be able to easily get rid of the blame.
Even with this Lingyong Town case, Lu Muqing felt that he might not be able to find anything related to Xie Xu.
However, Lu Muqing has the biggest advantage: Xie Xu, who thinks he is in the dark, thinks that Lu Muqing is in the light, but it is actually the opposite.
On the bright side, Lu Muqing has more than one hand in the dark. Mo Yi alone, as long as he continues to "cooperate" with Xie Xu, anyone who cannot resist the devil's contract will be Mo Yi's "eyes".
"Brother..."
Lu Muqing, who had been paying attention to the small map all the time, called out to Chen Chunan in a low voice. From an angle that only Chen Chunan could see under his sleeve, he squeezed the hand of the stone talisman handed out by Elder Yuanfeng, and stretched out two fingers.
In order to ensure the safety of the body, Xie Qing took out bottles and jars specially used to deal with monks from the cave, and put them in the warehouse.
——These are all Xie Qing’s doing when he has nothing to do. Evil cultivators are used to hiding and hiding. They haven’t found any useful clues for a few days, let alone these medicines that can be made easily, the pattern on Du Yebai’s egg It's all one-tenth.
Chen Chunan, who saw the little junior brother's movements, understood immediately, approached Lu Muqing as if nothing had happened, and said:
"Since we found traces of the formation, it's time to meet the elders and the others..."
Seeing that they were about to leave, the people in the dark looked at each other, although they were suspicious, but saw that their target was only a qi refining disciple, or a weak qi formation cultivator, so they made a move.
None of them looked at Lu Muqing, and directly attacked Chen Chunan to lure him away.
But Chen Chunan was an array cultivator, he even had several array patterns engraved on his body, and he secretly started setting up the array as early as Lu Muqing gave the hint.
Next to it is the outer golden gang formation, and further outwards is the sword formation, the phantom formation.
The person who came was also a Jindan late stage cultivator, and when he was blocked by the formation temporarily set up by Chen Chunan, he cursed secretly in his heart.
Dodging the four flying swords that came from time to time, and turned his head at will to avoid a small stone thrown by the qi refining boy.
Unexpectedly, the "little stone" exploded in front of his eyes, and he held his breath in a bad mood.
Seeing that his attacks were all blocked by the aura shield, the anger didn't hit anywhere, regardless of the energy stored on the tip of the sword, a violent blow broke their protective formation, and pointed directly at Chen Chunan's throat.
"Ding--"
Lu Muqing blocked the opponent's menacing attack with his sword.
"Thank you, little brother—"
Chen Chunan took a step forward, and the aura and formation created unique ripples in the air;
The superposition of layers of sword formations made it impossible for the attacker to avoid it, and he couldn't even get close. He even felt that the use of spiritual power in the meridians was a bit stagnant, and a panic appeared on his face.
If they were one of the perpetrators who caused the disappearance of 140 people in Lingyong Town, would he have to risk his life to try?
Staring at another motionless red dot on the small map, Lu Muqing crushed the stone talisman and took a step back accordingly.
He has the cultivation secret realm as a way out, so it is not impossible to give it a try. If he gives up, he will really have a knot in his heart.
The person who patiently waited for the opportunity made a decisive move to snatch Lu Muqing away. After all, with his cultivation at the golden core stage, it is more than enough to catch a young disciple at the qi refining stage.
"withdraw!"
After shouting this, he caught a glimpse of a sword flying towards him from a distance, and ran away after robbing the person. Did he know that there was an elder Yuanying inside.
First, Lu Muqing was only dizzy for a moment when he was hit hard on the back of the neck. In order to prevent the other party from attacking again, he closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
Anyway, his divine sense can already see things clearly, but the range is not large, only a few miles around.
The Jindan cultivator who just started cultivating is far less spiritual than Lu Muqing, and he didn't realize that this person who was robbed had "read" all the way with his spiritual consciousness.
From all the way to Lingyong Town, there are seven turns and eight turns, to the foot of a mountain, and through a mechanism, they enter a hidden cave.
Could it be that people are locked up here, but how can it be impossible to lock up thousands of people in a cave?
Soon Lu Muqing knew why, because there was a teleportation array inside.
After the teleportation array passed, there was another teleportation array. After repeating it five times, the man finally brought Lu Muqing to the finish line and walked out with him.
During the transit teleportation formation, Lu Muqing saw some children's dropped shoes, and wondered how the people who came to Lingyong Town were also transported away.
The only question is why so many people obediently followed?
Along the way, Lu Muqing wrote down the method of using the formation and its location. Lu Muqing didn't know whether to praise them for being cautious or timid. The place where the teleportation formation was set up was hidden and desolate, and it also extended in all directions, just like a mouse digging a hole.
Pulling away the storage bag hanging from Lu Muqing's body, the man threw Lu Muqing to the ground with a bang, and sneered:
"Don't pretend, I know you woke up halfway."
Lu Muqing opened his eyes, and glanced at the person opposite. He was dressed in black, and there were no obvious features on the top and bottom of the clothes, but the aura did not seem to be evil cultivators, so he asked calmly:
"Where is this place?"
The man tied spirit-locking iron chains on his hands and feet, and snorted coldly: "You are waiting to die."
"Why did you arrest me specifically?"
After closing the door, the man seemed too lazy to talk to him, didn't reveal a word, and left without looking back.
It's really bad, Lu Muqing leaned against the wall and sighed.
It seems that he is completely different from those mortals who were taken away. What is special about him?
For example, his spiritual root?
Xie Xu's "goodbye" may mean...to arrest him?
Is it to get out of trouble first to save people?Or wait for the person behind the scenes to show up?
If it was Xie Xu, it would probably have to wait until the day lily was cold.
After all, Mo Yi was chatting happily with him, and it would take at least a day or two to rush over there.
Tsk... let's go first.
Lu Muqing wanted to see what expression he would have when he met Xie Xu again in Shengyang Sect, safe and sound.
And as long as you walk along the routes of those teleportation arrays, you will definitely find those mortals who were taken away by them.
After knocking out an antidote first, Lu Muqing took out a stick of incense made by Jieqing from the warehouse, and asked Du Yebai to borrow it from someone.
The incense is lit.
When he was brought in just now, he saw two people guarding the teleportation formation. They built their foundations and cultivated themselves. He will have to find someone later. He didn't want to spend energy to deal with them, and he didn't have Mo Yi's camouflage skills to deceive them. ...
and many more!
It seems that he still has a camouflage card left, hey - this is just the right time to use it.
Lu Muqing untied the iron chain on his wrist - there are many tree roots on the ground, this kind of lock should not be too easy to untie.
Holding the camouflage card he took out from the warehouse, Lu Muqing stroked his chin and thought: Who should I pretend to be?
Those two just now, should they just pretend to be...Xie Xu?
The author says:
Xie Xu, who was still "negotiating" with Mo Yi, sneezed.
Xie Xu (alert): Who?Who is missing me?
Love you, mua!
Lu Muqing still doesn't know what kind of attitude this elder brother has towards him. He will set off to Lingyong Town with Chen Chunan and his party tomorrow to investigate.
Tonight, after two hours of spiritual training in the virtual space as before, I went to the secret cultivation realm to practice.
According to this speed of cultivation, Lu Muqing's cultivation could reach another level in a few days.
Just when he was cultivating steadily, a man in a black cloak came to where Mo Yi was through the night.
With loyal subordinates leading the way, the devil has harvested nine evil cultivators with fairly good cultivation bases, and allowed them to secretly report the news to "the lord" above them.
After all, he had three Nascent Souls and six Golden Pills under his command, and that person probably expected that it would be difficult to deal with those who smashed the field, so he could hand over all the evil cultivators in that area to him by using the communication jade pendant.
Mo Yi felt funny when he heard this. Xiexiu is not an obedient guy, and he accepts all these people, so he has the nerve to tell me what to say.
Less than two days after coming here, the evil cultivators who had been sealed by the deed received news from their former master, knelt down and respectfully reported:
"My lord, that person who said Pai came to see you."
The devil sat high in the hall, nodded slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he branded the messenger with his own brand and took it under his flag.
The next day, the formation peak of Shengyang Sect.
When Chen Chunan came to find Lu Muqing to gather, he asked, "I heard from Senior Brother that you have someone you know well in Lingyong Town?"
"It's not considered acquaintance, it's just that I have settled there for two months, and I feel that some things are impermanent."
Sometimes Lu Muqing really felt that mortals living in this world are like ants living at the feet of elephants. They don't even know that the catastrophe will suddenly come on that day, and even if they know, they have no power to resist.
"It's okay." Chen Chunan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "We'll investigate and find out the perpetrator!"

After he finished speaking, he invited the disciples of Danfeng who practiced pills and the disciples of Beastfeng who brought the wind dog to board the boat, and then turned to ask Lu Muqing:
"Is the junior brother coming?"
"No."
Lu Muqing took out the gaping sword, and the three Jianfeng disciples who saw it burst out laughing.
Although sword repairers have always been relatively poor, they are not so poor that they can use broken swords, or the most expensive thing on them is usually that sword.
"Thank you, brother, I have to practice Yujian flying again."
It's not that there are no spirit stones to buy swords, but Lu Muqing has been so busy these days that he forgot about it, and Mo Yi found some materials and spirit stones to make two good swords, and then he went to buy those one hundred swords. A sword from Lingshi is meaningless.
It took less than half a day to go to Lingyong Town.
Lu Muqing, who had been to Lingyong Town before, looked at the quiet town in front of him. It seemed to be no different from before, even the vermilion archway engraved with the words "Lingyong" hadn't faded a bit.

During the investigation by Sheng Yangzong and his team, they found that the people they sent had also defected to the enemy. "That lord" finally realized that Mo Yi was not easy to deal with, and said through his former subordinate:
"I'll come in person."
Mo Yi is in an old den of evil cultivators, which is very richly decorated, which is far from ordinary monks who emphasize returning to basics. This place is not far from Hongyuan Lake where evil cultivators gather.
The person who came was wearing an all-black cloak with a concealed formation on it, and only one chin was exposed on his masked face. He obviously only had the strength of Jindan's late stage, but he was very fearless.

Lu Muqing, who was following Chen Chunan up to the roof to observe the terrain, almost stumbled and fell, and Chen Chunan quickly helped him up.
"Brother, be careful."
Lu Muqing swallowed, "Brother, do you know where Senior Brother is now?"
Chen Chunan was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly asked this: "Of course I'm in the sect, where else can I go?"
"No, I guess he's out."
The spy is actually by my side, this small map is...reliable and unreliable, so I have to think more about it when I refer to it in the future.
He even wondered if Xie Xu's words about the "destroying town tragedy" with such certainty were due to his handwriting.
Go back to the other side.
The demon resting on his chin with one hand remained calm and provoked nonchalantly:
"Is your face shameful?"
"Do not,"
Xie Xu smiled softly: "It's because it has seen too many people."
Seeing the wings and long tail unique to the alien race, and the aura that seemed to be darkness itself, Xie Xu, who was very familiar with the demon race, directly affirmed his identity.
"Dare to ask how your Excellency arrived at our world. As far as I know, there has been no successful summoning, and the barrier of the seal has not yet been broken."
"Being summoned, I will come here."
"The Summoner..."
"Eat, it's just an eyesore and useless guy."
The devil said angrily, he is not a character who likes to be questioned.
"Who are you? Are you familiar with my Demon Race?"
"Xie Yu, my father has a lot of connections with the demons, so it should be a cooperative relationship."
Good guy, do I not recognize you if I change the word?Your father, right?Tomorrow, I will go and expose his old background.
"You are very strong, but there are many strong people in this world, please be careful to hide..."
The demon interrupted impatiently again: "I don't need you to teach me."
"However... the cooperation you mentioned, I am a little interested."
Cooperation is naturally possible, but judging by the tone, this demon named Mo Yi doesn't seem to know the content of the cooperation.
After all, there are six sects and two realms in the human world, so it's normal that the demons don't have much communication with each other.
Xie Xu smiled even wider upon hearing this, "I'm extremely happy."
Xie Xu naturally knows whether the deceitful demons can be trusted, and Mo Yi also knows how many faces Xie Xu has. The two people with their own ulterior motives began to talk.
Xie Xu, who thinks he has the home court advantage, has the idea of trying to trick Mo Yi, but he doesn't know that Mo Yi not only wants to trick him, but has even started to take action against his family.
Lingyong Town.
As Chen Chunan leaped between the roofs to the highest pavilion in Lingyong Town, Lu Muqing asked him chattingly:
"How many years has senior brother joined Shengyang Sect?"
"It seems... a hundred years ago? I can't remember clearly."
"What about Big Brother?"
"It's almost the same, a few years earlier than me..."
After talking for a while, Lu Muqing knew that Xie Xu was not the suzerain's first disciple, there was originally a senior brother, but Xie Xu passed away unexpectedly in the ninth year of joining the sect.
Moreover, Xie Xu didn't have any parents. He joined the Shengyang Sect because he wanted to avenge his relatives. After investigation, it was found that his parents, including the people in that village, were all killed by evil cultivators.
Of course, Xie Xu, who has been traced to the murder of relatives and enemies, completed his revenge after forming the alchemy and settled his knot.
After speaking, Chen Chunan also said with emotion: "At that time, after the bondage of hatred was removed, the elder brother's cultivation has improved to a higher level."
Lu Muqing: Actually, I don't think it might be Xie Xu's restraint.
"Wait, junior brother, look,"
Chen Chunan, who was observing the surrounding terrain while talking, made a discovery, "From here to here...does it seem like a trace left by the Lost Formation?"
A large-scale fascination formation has a certain influence on monks and ordinary people. As long as it is not a monk with strong spiritual sense or proficient in formations, it will generally not be discovered. The cause of the condition.
"Yes, there is a phantom formation over there, but there seems to have been other formations..."
Lu Muqing raised her eyebrows, and it was a very unfamiliar pattern, "Brother, have you ever seen this kind of formation?"
"I've seen it once." Chen Chunan put away his brisk expression and turned serious:
"Blood River Soul Locking Formation, one of the taboo formations, I encountered it when I went to practice with my senior brother before."
She was a little surprised at first, but when she heard that Xie Xu was behind her, Lu Muqing was suddenly not surprised. This formation, the disappearance case in Lingyong Town, was probably written by Xie Xu.
The most frightening thing is that this person did not show any hostility when talking with him yesterday, his deep and treacherous thoughts can be seen, it is no wonder that Xie Xu has been able to stay in Shengyang Sect for so many years, and he can still worship the Sect Master as his teacher.
Whether it is Lu Muqing who testifies that Xie Xu colluded with the evil cultivator, or Mo Yi openly revealing his cooperation with Xie Xu, Xie Xu who has a "blood feud" with the evil cultivator will certainly be able to easily get rid of the blame.
Even with this Lingyong Town case, Lu Muqing felt that he might not be able to find anything related to Xie Xu.
However, Lu Muqing has the biggest advantage: Xie Xu, who thinks he is in the dark, thinks that Lu Muqing is in the light, but it is actually the opposite.
On the bright side, Lu Muqing has more than one hand in the dark. Mo Yi alone, as long as he continues to "cooperate" with Xie Xu, anyone who cannot resist the devil's contract will be Mo Yi's "eyes".
"Brother..."
Lu Muqing, who had been paying attention to the small map all the time, called out to Chen Chunan in a low voice. From an angle that only Chen Chunan could see under his sleeve, he squeezed the hand of the stone talisman handed out by Elder Yuanfeng, and stretched out two fingers.
In order to ensure the safety of the body, Xie Qing took out bottles and jars specially used to deal with monks from the cave, and put them in the warehouse.
——These are all Xie Qing’s doing when he has nothing to do. Evil cultivators are used to hiding and hiding. They haven’t found any useful clues for a few days, let alone these medicines that can be made easily, the pattern on Du Yebai’s egg It's all one-tenth.
Chen Chunan, who saw the little junior brother's movements, understood immediately, approached Lu Muqing as if nothing had happened, and said:
"Since we found traces of the formation, it's time to meet the elders and the others..."
Seeing that they were about to leave, the people in the dark looked at each other, although they were suspicious, but saw that their target was only a qi refining disciple, or a weak qi formation cultivator, so they made a move.
None of them looked at Lu Muqing, and directly attacked Chen Chunan to lure him away.
But Chen Chunan was an array cultivator, he even had several array patterns engraved on his body, and he secretly started setting up the array as early as Lu Muqing gave the hint.
Next to it is the outer golden gang formation, and further outwards is the sword formation, the phantom formation.
The person who came was also a Jindan late stage cultivator, and when he was blocked by the formation temporarily set up by Chen Chunan, he cursed secretly in his heart.
Dodging the four flying swords that came from time to time, and turned his head at will to avoid a small stone thrown by the qi refining boy.
Unexpectedly, the "little stone" exploded in front of his eyes, and he held his breath in a bad mood.
Seeing that his attacks were all blocked by the aura shield, the anger didn't hit anywhere, regardless of the energy stored on the tip of the sword, a violent blow broke their protective formation, and pointed directly at Chen Chunan's throat.
"Ding--"
Lu Muqing blocked the opponent's menacing attack with his sword.
"Thank you, little brother—"
Chen Chunan took a step forward, and the aura and formation created unique ripples in the air;
The superposition of layers of sword formations made it impossible for the attacker to avoid it, and he couldn't even get close. He even felt that the use of spiritual power in the meridians was a bit stagnant, and a panic appeared on his face.
If they were one of the perpetrators who caused the disappearance of 140 people in Lingyong Town, would he have to risk his life to try?
Staring at another motionless red dot on the small map, Lu Muqing crushed the stone talisman and took a step back accordingly.
He has the cultivation secret realm as a way out, so it is not impossible to give it a try. If he gives up, he will really have a knot in his heart.
The person who patiently waited for the opportunity made a decisive move to snatch Lu Muqing away. After all, with his cultivation at the golden core stage, it is more than enough to catch a young disciple at the qi refining stage.
"withdraw!"
After shouting this, he caught a glimpse of a sword flying towards him from a distance, and ran away after robbing the person. Did he know that there was an elder Yuanying inside.
First, Lu Muqing was only dizzy for a moment when he was hit hard on the back of the neck. In order to prevent the other party from attacking again, he closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
Anyway, his divine sense can already see things clearly, but the range is not large, only a few miles around.
The Jindan cultivator who just started cultivating is far less spiritual than Lu Muqing, and he didn't realize that this person who was robbed had "read" all the way with his spiritual consciousness.
From all the way to Lingyong Town, there are seven turns and eight turns, to the foot of a mountain, and through a mechanism, they enter a hidden cave.
Could it be that people are locked up here, but how can it be impossible to lock up thousands of people in a cave?
Soon Lu Muqing knew why, because there was a teleportation array inside.
After the teleportation array passed, there was another teleportation array. After repeating it five times, the man finally brought Lu Muqing to the finish line and walked out with him.
During the transit teleportation formation, Lu Muqing saw some children's dropped shoes, and wondered how the people who came to Lingyong Town were also transported away.
The only question is why so many people obediently followed?
Along the way, Lu Muqing wrote down the method of using the formation and its location. Lu Muqing didn't know whether to praise them for being cautious or timid. The place where the teleportation formation was set up was hidden and desolate, and it also extended in all directions, just like a mouse digging a hole.
Pulling away the storage bag hanging from Lu Muqing's body, the man threw Lu Muqing to the ground with a bang, and sneered:
"Don't pretend, I know you woke up halfway."
Lu Muqing opened his eyes, and glanced at the person opposite. He was dressed in black, and there were no obvious features on the top and bottom of the clothes, but the aura did not seem to be evil cultivators, so he asked calmly:
"Where is this place?"
The man tied spirit-locking iron chains on his hands and feet, and snorted coldly: "You are waiting to die."
"Why did you arrest me specifically?"
After closing the door, the man seemed too lazy to talk to him, didn't reveal a word, and left without looking back.
It's really bad, Lu Muqing leaned against the wall and sighed.
It seems that he is completely different from those mortals who were taken away. What is special about him?
For example, his spiritual root?
Xie Xu's "goodbye" may mean...to arrest him?
Is it to get out of trouble first to save people?Or wait for the person behind the scenes to show up?
If it was Xie Xu, it would probably have to wait until the day lily was cold.
After all, Mo Yi was chatting happily with him, and it would take at least a day or two to rush over there.
Tsk... let's go first.
Lu Muqing wanted to see what expression he would have when he met Xie Xu again in Shengyang Sect, safe and sound.
And as long as you walk along the routes of those teleportation arrays, you will definitely find those mortals who were taken away by them.
After knocking out an antidote first, Lu Muqing took out a stick of incense made by Jieqing from the warehouse, and asked Du Yebai to borrow it from someone.
The incense is lit.
When he was brought in just now, he saw two people guarding the teleportation formation. They built their foundations and cultivated themselves. He will have to find someone later. He didn't want to spend energy to deal with them, and he didn't have Mo Yi's camouflage skills to deceive them. ...
and many more!
It seems that he still has a camouflage card left, hey - this is just the right time to use it.
Lu Muqing untied the iron chain on his wrist - there are many tree roots on the ground, this kind of lock should not be too easy to untie.
Holding the camouflage card he took out from the warehouse, Lu Muqing stroked his chin and thought: Who should I pretend to be?
Those two just now, should they just pretend to be...Xie Xu?
The author says:
Xie Xu, who was still "negotiating" with Mo Yi, sneezed.
Xie Xu (alert): Who?Who is missing me?
Love you, mua!
