Lu Feng and Tang Yuan went straight to the village and saw a wooden sign standing at the entrance, which stated that the accommodation fee was one hundred gold.
I thought that although the fees here were much higher than those in the ordinary world, it was still reasonable considering that it was located in a dangerous and unstable mountain range and was protected by a unique security formation.
The overall area of the village is not large, just a few miles. One side is adjacent to mountains and surrounded by many ordinary beasts. The other side is along a wide stream. The water is clear and sweet, and it can fully support the self-sufficiency of ordinary villagers in the village.
A self-sufficient life can indeed be said to be a blessed land surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The folk customs of the people in the village are quite simple. At first glance, most of them are wearing coarse linen clothes and busy with their own farm work, which looks like a busy and lively scene;
The villagers who were responsible for asking them for payment for lodging did not show any force. It was more like a casual and symbolic question, which made people feel that even if they did not pay the fee, nothing would happen.
But it is precisely this kind and calm attitude that makes many soul hunters willing to pay this fee. After all, compared to mere money, the reputation that has been accumulated with great difficulty is equally important. If this is spread, even ordinary people
If money is withheld, he will be looked down upon by his fellow soul hunters.
After Lu Feng and Tang Yuan paid the corresponding fees, they went straight to the village;
It was a little different from what I imagined. Although there were many villagers coming and going around, few paid attention to their presence, and no one came up to say hello. When passing by them, they even subconsciously speeded up their steps and stayed away.
go.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan were not too surprised by this. After all, many outsiders came in every day. The villagers here were already accustomed to the appearance of strange faces, so they would not be too eager. In addition, not long ago, the village woman
Only when an incident of humiliation occurs will they subconsciously avoid it.
The indifference shown by the villagers made them quite helpless, and their idea of further inquiring about Shu Lao failed again.
At nightfall.
The two of them had wandered around the village and were now sitting together on the rocks by the stream, with a bit of sadness on their faces.
Tang Yuanwu sighed to himself: "After exploring around, this village seems to be too ordinary. The only ones with spiritual energy in their bodies are a few hunters, but they are at the upper and lower levels of the Spirit Gathering Realm at best. Should we worry too much about it?
Maybe Mr. Shu just left temporarily because of other things and didn't return to the spiritual prison in time?"
Lu Feng looked gloomy and inexplicably melancholy. He wanted to think that he was just worrying too much, but every time he thought about Shu Lao's safety, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, which made him realize that there must be someone somewhere.
Something bad is happening.
He knew that some beasts would have strange perceptions before danger came, so they could avoid it in advance and save the day. Thinking of his half-beast bloodline... he was not sure whether this strong sense of uneasiness was based on similar perceptions.
.
Therefore, he did not dare to gamble, even if it was just the sixth sense and intuition that humans did not have, he wanted to pursue it vigorously in order to find an inner peace of mind.
But this road seems to only end here.
Just as Lu Feng was contemplating whether to return to the Qinghe Sect first and discuss with his mentor Yang Jie before making other plans, Tang Yuan irritably kicked a few pieces of gravel into the stream, which caught his attention.
.
"That's..." Lu Feng looked at the bottom of a stone in the stream with stunned eyes. Because of the impact of Tang Yuan's kick into the stone, the big stone shifted slightly, and several fingernails
Microscopic shells the size of which are exposed.
Tang Yuan noticed Lu Feng's abnormality and jumped into the stream immediately after him;
After moving rocks and digging and fishing, the two of them came to the shore with a bunch of black shells in their hands.
Tang Yuan was stunned and confused: "Lao Lu, is there anything special about this thing? Did Shu Lao leave a mark on this shell? It's so hidden, doesn't it look like it's a message to others?"
If you look carefully, you can vaguely see irregular patterns on each shell.
Lu Feng suppressed his excitement, picked out the largest shell, pointed to the dark golden texture on it that was different from other shells, and said excitedly: "The same texture!"
"What's the same?" Tang Yuan still didn't react for a while.
Lu Feng said: "Qingxiu Zen Sect, Demon-Suppressing Forest, that oversized clam shell has the same pattern as the small shell here!"
Tang Yuan was startled, and then turned around with equally surprised eyes: "Are you talking about the mysterious senior in the Demon Suppressing Forest?"
As he spoke, he took a closer look at the large shell that Lu Feng handed over, and said happily: "Don't tell me, they are so similar. The one in the Demon Suppressing Forest is simply the one in front of you magnified thousands of times.
Look."
Lu Feng straightened his expression and said seriously: "It would be unreasonable to say that this is just a coincidence. The clam shell that the mysterious senior lives in comes from the soul-controlling clan, and there are similar special shells here. The two
There must be some connection."
Tang Yuan couldn't hide his excitement, "Could it be that we found the right place this time? Is the Yuhun Clan really hiding somewhere in a secret place in this village?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel sad: "But we observed so carefully earlier, if there is anything special, we should have discovered it long ago, right?"
Lu Feng looked sternly, looking toward the stream, and murmured: "We have checked everything on the ground, but if it is hidden underground...or underwater..."
Tang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood. Together with Lu Feng, he explored the depths of the stream and started searching along the direction of the stream.
…
at the same time.
Far away in the central Xuanyu, in a remote mountain range adjacent to Xuanjin City.
Jun Ziya walked out of a secret cave with a tired look, and there were still large stains of dried blood on her green clothes.
Outside the cave, the originally dense vines and scattered grass vegetation have now turned yellow and withered, losing their original vitality.
Even the cave itself, the solid rock walls seemed to have become a lot dryer.
Yanque was waiting outside the cave. When he saw Junziya coming out of seclusion, he hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern: "Miss, is your injury better?"
Jun Ziya nodded with lingering fear, "I survived this time, but if there is another time..."
As he spoke, his face couldn't help but be filled with worry. Apart from worry, his eyes became extremely firm and filled with a deep chill, "Have you found out where my good brother has escaped?"
Yan Que quickly responded: "According to the spies' report, Mr. Shuo fled directly towards the snowy area after being injured in the battle with the lady. Later, under the cover of several of his dead guards, he changed his route to the east. It is speculated that his final destination
It should be the area in the northeast."
"Master Shuo acted very cautiously here. Six or seven of the spies we sent were killed by him, but in the end we were still unable to determine his specific traces."
Jun Ziya's expression turned cold, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he murmured an analysis: "To the northeast...the guard Xie You that the old guys in the clan assigned him back then seems to often go to that direction."
Yan Que was startled, "When Mr. Shuo fought with you, he claimed that his strength was entirely due to Xie You's sacrifice. Now that he is running in that direction, could there be other dead soldiers he trained there?"
"No," Yanque muttered in panic, "If he can get another sacrifice from another dead soldier, when he comes back, his strength will definitely increase a lot, and he will definitely carry out revenge. By then, we are afraid that
It’s hard to deal with.”
"Miss, your fight with him this time almost damaged the origin of the Five Elements Pure Body. It consumed a large amount of elixirs containing the breath of life, and also drained the vitality of this world to barely stabilize the injury. You have to do it again..."
"Shut up!" Jun Ziya's eyes narrowed and he scolded Yan Que, feeling a little upset by his words.
Such words were not what she was worried about.
From what she knew about Jun Zishuo, the latter's escape was definitely not aimless, and his panic must have a certain purpose;
There must be someone in the northeast who can help him recover from his injuries and even further improve his strength.
In other words, there is not much time left for her!
Once Jun Zishuo recovers, she will definitely become the first target of revenge.
With her current strength, it would be difficult for her to deal with Junzi Shuo, who continues to improve her strength.
You must have enough strength to protect yourself before this happens.
After calming down.
Jun Ziya asked: "What's the latest progress in the plan of the boy named Lu? Are there any new changes in the red forces?"
Yanque responded quickly: "The small alliance formed spontaneously by the Xuanhong forces led by the Tianting Sword Sect and other forces is still there. They have been eagerly looking for Lu Feng's whereabouts, fearing that they will join forces once they find him.
"
"Originally, they were thinking of besieging the Qingshan Sword Sect to force Lu Feng to show up. However, after the Qingshan Sword Sect released a statement saying that Lu Feng had long since resigned as the sect leader, and with the pressure from the Zhan Sect, Phantom Valley and other forces, the group was able to
I had no choice but to give up and gave up the idea."
"In addition, with Miss's layout and fanning the flames, his evil deeds of unprovoked destruction of Bone Toad Village and other forces have been basically confirmed and spread, and many self-proclaimed fair and righteous forces have also joined the camp to encircle and suppress him.
However, most of these people are still in a wait-and-see state, as if they are waiting for Lufeng to respond."
Jun Ziya nodded, "This move should be related to the overthrow of Liuhe Sect. It is reasonable for them to have doubts. After all, the difficulty of overthrowing Liuhe Sect is much more difficult than dealing with Scorpion Sect, Bone Toad Village and the like, and each uses their own methods.
The methods are also different.”
Yanque said angrily: "If you ask me, I blame Mr. Shuo. If he wants to take revenge on Qin Tianliang, just deal with him. If he insists on doing this, not only does he not provoke the Qin and Sun families, but he also makes the young lady so perfect."
All plans have been questioned."
Jun Ziya's face darkened, "Speaking of this, have you found out about the mysterious woman who attacked the Liuhe Sect? Is she an enemy or a friend? Why do you want to frame that person surnamed Lu?"
Yanque shook his head, "That woman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air after dismantling the Liuhe Sect. No news was heard again."
After a pause, he continued: "There has been no news about the boy named Lu for a while. Miss, do you think he has anything to do with that mysterious woman? If so, we will have to deal with him again if we want to.
You should put in more effort, after all, the strength that the mysterious woman showed that day was definitely more than just an ordinary Soul Breathing Master after the Heavenly Soul Realm."
Jun Ziya's thoughts were spinning and she ordered: "Pay close attention to the whereabouts of that boy. Once there is any information about his whereabouts, inform the red forces immediately. Let them unite to try the boy first. If the mysterious woman is involved with him, let's try again.
Make further plans."
Yanque was delighted, "Miss, do you have a new plan?"
Jun Ziya said meaningfully: "The three-year opening date of the secret realm managed by the Holy Realm is coming soon. If we can't deal with that kid outside, we will go to deal with him in the secret realm. We can also use that secret realm
, hide from my good brother’s sharp edge.”
Yanque said in shock: "But that secret realm requires a real-name identity to allow entry. Now that the man named Lu has many enemies, will he be stupid enough to break into that secret realm and die?"
"He will go!" Jun Ziya smiled slyly and said coldly: "If he doesn't go, we will threaten the life of her beloved and invite him to go!"
…
At the same moment when the two were conspiring.
In a secret training room where Love Tomb belongs.
Jiang Ruoyun sat cross-legged, her practice interrupted, and she leaned on the ground weakly, her pretty face dripping with sweat.
With the relief of the breath, a shocking demonic nature suddenly surged into the air;
On Jiang Ruoyun's pretty face full of lust, bloody and ferocious lines suddenly appeared, like a blooming blood lotus, gradually eroding all over her face.
‘I still can’t suppress it!’
A flash of despair flashed in Jiang Ruoyun's eyes, and he suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, his expression became serious again, and he entered the cultivation state again.
'If it doesn't work once, then ten times!'
'If ten times doesn't work, just a hundred times!'
Jiang Ruoyun clenched her teeth and persisted. Whenever she thought about the out-of-control demonic nature after letting go, she was frightened. No matter what, she did not want to be infiltrated by the demonic nature and become a complete monster.
Although now, in the eyes of outsiders, she already looks like a monster.
Jiang Ruoyun looked at his fingernails from the corner of his eye. They were no longer as white as ordinary people, but were stained with blood-red color, showing a hint of coquettishness;
I couldn't help but feel helpless and bitter in my heart.
'If the day comes when I completely lose control and cannot be suppressed...'
'We must not involve Qing Tomb, mother, Sister Hong and the others...'
Jiang Ruoyun glanced at the dagger placed behind him and prepared for the worst.
only……
'I really want to see Brother Feng again before I die...'
Then he thought about his decision that day; the bitterness in Jiang Ruoyun's heart couldn't help but become stronger.
