Liang Yan was naturally surprised when he discovered that there was actually another monk in Bihai Palace who practiced the "Fish and Dragon Dance" technique, and that this person was Lin Yueque, the deputy palace lord of Bihai Palace.
He did not stay too long outside the Lotus Moon Cave, but took advantage of the night to return to his cave.
After returning to the cave, Liang Yan carefully thought about the whole incident and felt that he had made something wrong before.
Back then, things were going very smoothly for Daxia and his party, but in the end they discovered that someone had made a careful plan to kill everyone in Chixiao Academy, Huangquan Palace and Wushuang City.
At that time, he had preconceptions and almost believed that Nogi Shiro was causing trouble. Because he had already revealed the information about these missions to the other party, he suspected that he was secretly setting up the trap.
Thinking about it now, this matter is actually full of doubts. After he revealed the news to Nomubai, he immediately set off for Daxia Kingdom. Unless Nomubai could predict the situation, how could he have set up a device in the body of the captured prince of Xia Kingdom in advance?
A trap?
"What if the whole thing was arranged by Lin Yueque."
Liang Yan changed his mind and found that this way, certain things could be explained.
Now that I have perfected the first level of "Fish and Dragon Dance", the spiritual power in my body is so pure that I can sense the presence of Lin Yueque. On the other hand, when I just started practicing, the fire was not enough, and the spiritual power in my body was not yet formed.
Could Lin Yueque be aware of him when he was there?
He set up an ambush during the mission of Daxia Kingdom to elicit his true strength. After confirming his suspicions, he summoned himself to the cave alone and trapped himself with the peach blossom illusion array, just to force him to reveal the "Fish"
"Dragon Dance" this technique?
The more Liang Yan thought about it, the more it seemed possible, but there were still some doubts in his mind. As the acting palace master of Bihai Palace and the eldest disciple of the previous palace master, Lin Yueque had the ability to overcome calamities and overcome five difficulties. Why didn't he get the "Fish and Dragon Dance"?
True biography?
And the fact that Yemubai, an outsider, actually knew the hidden compartments in the Sutra Pavilion was too strange.
"Nogi Shiro, who are you?"
Liang Yan murmured to himself, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
While this person gave him an opportunity, he also threw a hot potato at the same time. Now that Lin Yueque had set his sights on him, he would never let it go.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan suddenly had a strange feeling. In the whole thing, he seemed to be a bait, and Lin Yueque was the big fish he was waiting for!
"Could it be."
Liang Yan's heart stirred, and he suddenly had a suspicion, which made him secretly surprised.
"If this is really the case, then the entire Wushuang City may be implicated."
He muttered to himself, but did not think about it any further, because the whole matter was too involved and he did not have any evidence, so speculation alone was far from enough.
Regardless of Nomubai's identity for the moment, the most important thing now is how to deal with Lin Yueque.
After thinking about it, he always felt that he was not safe. Although he didn't know why, the two palace masters of Bihai Palace maintained a delicate balance, but Lin Yueque's strength was there, and as long as time passed, there would always be a way.
Deal with yourself.
"Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative. If it is really what I think, the three-year period of discussing Taoism is approaching, Lin Yueque will definitely take action, and I have to take the opportunity to find out his details!"
Liang Yan made this decision because he had already practiced the first level of "Fish and Dragon Dance" to perfection.
This skill is mysterious and unpredictable, and he has a sense of it. Now the situation seems to be reversed. Only he can clearly sense Lin Yueque's position, while the other party's sense of him is very vague.
For a period of time after that, he kept paying close attention to Lin Yueque's movements, and finally discovered that he had left Lianyue Cave and came to the valley of Qiling Mountain alone half a month ago.
Since the whole thing was based on his own speculation, and it also involved the two secrets of "Fish and Dragon Dance" and Nokibai, Liang Yan did not choose to tell the people in Wushuang City about this matter.
Ten days ago, the entire Bihai Palace, including the two palace masters Ning Xia and Lin Yueque, went to Cangnan Mountain for the appointment to discuss the Tao. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang Yan also left the cave mansion.
He rushed to Qiling Mountain alone.
Not long after arriving here, Liang Yan keenly discovered that there was indeed something fishy hidden in the valley, but the passages in the canyon were heavily guarded. If he forced his way in, he would inevitably not be discovered.
So he thought of the secret technique of dividing souls again.
It is strange to say that the "Soul Seed Technique" obtained from Wu Xin came from the demon race, while the "Soul Separation Secret Technique" obtained from Qian Yexue came from the human race. The two sources are different, but they have the same purpose.
He compared the two secret techniques with each other and confirmed each other. He used the strengths of one secret technique to make up for the shortcomings of the other secret technique. The soul-splitting technique he cultivated was actually much better than the original two secret techniques.
.
Liang Yan set up a barrier at a secret location outside the valley, used the soul-splitting secret technique to attach it to a small mosquito, and then entered the Spirit-Praying Valley majestically. No matter whether he met a monk or a puppet on the way,
, no one can detect him.
What followed was the scene that just happened. He overheard a lot of things in this hall, and then followed the two monks to the prison.
The soul creatures exchanged places, and then killed the two monks who were leading the way with one sword.
Liang Yan raised his hand and performed a magic spell to clean up the two corpses on the ground. He then secretly released his spiritual consciousness and found that the guards outside the prison were still standing guard and did not seem to notice any movement here.
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked in the direction the two of them had just gone.
This prison is filled with the smell of blood everywhere, and the walls of bones around it also exude a cold air. If a monk below the Golden Core realm is imprisoned here, I am afraid that he will be driven crazy in a short time.
Liang Yan walked along the muddy passage for a while, and saw a pool of blood in front of him. There seemed to be several figures in the pool, all of which had their bones and limbs' meridians chained up by iron chains, and their breath was very weak.
One of them was a young Confucian scholar, carrying a long sword, and his clothes were already stained red with blood.
"Brother Cang?!"
There was a hint of surprise in Liang Yan's eyes, because he actually knew this person, it was Cang Yueming who was known as the "South China Sea Swordsman"!
As if he heard his call, the young Confucian scholar slowly raised his head, his turbid eyes swept across Liang Yan, and he instantly showed a look of surprise.
"Brother Liang, you were also arrested? Huh? No, why weren't you locked by the 'Soul Locking Chain'?"
Cang Yueming seemed to understand something and said in surprise: "Did you sneak in by yourself? It's impossible. There are strict guards outside. Why didn't you alert anyone?"
Facing his series of questions, Liang Yan had no intention of answering, but directly asked: "Tell me first, how to rescue you."
"Cut off the 'soul chain'!"
A deep voice suddenly sounded from the side, but the speaker was not Cang Yueming, but a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Huangfu Qi?"
Liang Yan had just focused all his attention on Cang Yueming, but only then did he realize that there were two acquaintances next to him, namely Huangfu Qi and Mu Hanxue.
"The function of the blood pool is only to absorb the essence of our souls. It cannot trap us. What really prevents us from getting rid of is these 'soul-locking chains'." Huangfu Qi said while panting.
"it's useless!"
Cang Yueming shook his head and said: "These 'soul-locking chains' are made of Mingshan black iron. Even if seniors from the Tongxuan realm come, they may not be able to cut them off. Brother Liang, you'd better leave us alone. Quickly."
Leave here and inform the palace masters on Cangnan Mountain about Xuanguang Villa’s conspiracy so that they can take precautions in advance!”
This man endured the torment of the blood pool and spoke intermittently, appearing to be in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and continued:
"Listen to me, this time around the Cangnan Mountain agreement, the forces from Gu Wang Mountain actually intervened, and they were the ones driving a wedge between Wushuang City and the nine major sects."
Cang Yue was midway through her words when she suddenly saw a flash of cyan glow.
Canglanglang!
Before he could figure out what was going on, all the "soul-locking chains" that bound him had been cut off and fell into the pile of bones beside the blood pool.
"Huh?"
Cang Yueming regained her freedom, and she couldn't believe it for a while.
"You actually cut off the 'soul chain'? That was just now."
"It's Kenmaru!"
Huangfu Qi directly said it for him, and then said: "I have long seen that Brother Liang is not an ordinary person. Since he has the ability to sneak in here, he will naturally have a way to rescue us. Brother Liang, please!"
Liang Yan didn't hesitate after hearing this. He pinched the sword secret in his hand and the Mayfly Sword Pill turned into a streak of blue clouds, instantly cutting off the iron chains on Huangfu Qi and Mu Hanxue.
However, what surprised him was that only Huangfu Qi and Cang Yueming jumped out of the blood pool, while Mu Hanxue still stood motionless in the blood pool with her head half lowered.
"It was too late, and she was completely hopeless."
Huangfu Qi shook his head and said: "This blood pool can absorb the essence of a person's soul. Her cultivation level is not as good as ours. She had already been drained of her essence yesterday, leaving only an empty shell."
Seeing that the two of them were out of danger, Liang Yan finally couldn't help but ask: "How did you get caught here?"
"Because someone wants to provoke a conflict between Wushuang City and the nine major sects."
Cang Yueming said solemnly: "The people from Guwang Mountain sneaked into Wushuang Realm, secretly captured the monks from Wushuang City and the nine major sects, and then framed the blame on each other. The captain of our team, Zhenjun Jiying, noticed
Out of trouble, he was accidentally ambushed when he led us to investigate here, so that the whole army was wiped out, and we all became prisoners of the subordinates."
"Then where is this?" Liang Yan asked, pointing to the underground palace above his head.
"It should be an eye of the formation. They have set up a large formation here, covering the entire Cangnan Mountain. They want to catch all the people in Wushuang City and the nine major sects."
"What a huge ambition!"
Although he had expected it, Liang Yan was still very shocked after hearing what Cang Yueming said.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Are there any other monks from Wushuang City imprisoned here?"
"have!"
Huangfu said curiously: "Jiying Zhenjun, like us, was captured a few days ago. As for the other monks, because they have been imprisoned here for too long, even if they are alive, there is only a body left, and the walking corpses are all left."
It’s no different.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan made an instant decision and said in a deep voice: "In that case, let's rescue Senior Jiying first, and then go up there to destroy the formation together. In this way, we can do our part for Wushuang City."
.”
After hearing this, Cang Yueming and Huangfu Qi naturally had no objections.
"I know where Senior Jiying is being held. You guys come with me."
Cang Yueming took the lead to lead the way, and Liang Yan and Huangfu Qi followed behind. They walked around the dark prison and came to another blood pool.
In the blood pool, there was a tall and thin man with disheveled hair. Although the aura emanating from his body was in the middle stage of Tongxuan Realm, it was very weak. He had obviously suffered serious injuries.
Like Cang Yueming, Huangfu Qi and others, he also had his bones pierced and the meridians of his limbs locked.
When he heard footsteps coming from outside the blood pool, the man suddenly raised his head and glanced over with a pair of sharp eyes.
"Senior Jiying, it's us!" Cang Yueming whispered.
"Huh?" The tall and thin man's eyes showed surprise, and he said, "How did you two brats escape?"
Without waiting for Cang Yueming and Huangfu Qi to reply, the next moment, his eyes turned to Liang Yan next to him, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Did you save them?"
"It's down there."
Liang Yan smiled slightly and didn't say much. He directly raised his hand and patted the Taixu Gourd on his waist. The Mayfly Sword Pills shot out and lightly wrapped around the chains behind True Monarch Jiying. Five chains were shot out at the same time.
Cut into pieces!
Canglanglang!
The chain fell to the ground, True Lord Jiying regained his freedom, and jumped out of the blood pool. His originally weak aura suddenly surged, and he looked completely different from the one who had been immersed in the blood pool just now.
"As expected of True Lord Tongxuan!"
Liang Yan secretly praised him in his heart. After being locked up here for the same amount of time, Mu Hanxue was reduced to a shell. Although Cang Yueming and Huangfu Qi still retained their consciousness, they were already at the end of their strength.
Only this True Lord Jiying could maintain such a powerful aura after escaping from the blood pool.
"Was that Jianwan just now?"
Jiying Zhenjun stood on the edge of the blood pool, looked at the blue pill in mid-air, narrowed his eyes and said, "My little friend is extraordinary. He actually made the sword pill with the cultivation level of the Golden Pill Realm. I'm afraid the whole
You are the only one in the Wushuang Realm!"
"Senior, that's ridiculous. Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's think about how to destroy their formation and how to escape from here." Liang Yan said lightly.
"Array Eye."
Jiying Zhenjun looked up at the top of the prison and said slowly: "According to my original investigation, the formation they set up is directly above our prison. Once the formation is activated, blood will flow from below.
The souls and souls of the monks are extracted from the pool to keep the formation running."
