Liang Yan instantly understood who the other party was talking about.
"You want to plead for that Gou Qi?"
He looked the old man in green robe up and down and said calmly: "What is your relationship with Gou Qi? Why do you want to intercede with this person?"
"It's just an old friend. He has some connection with me. Although he has done many wrong things, I still don't want to see him die here." The old man in green robe said slowly.
"Fellow Taoist, you are joking. He is your old friend. What does he have to do with me? It's impossible for you to hand him over with just a word, right? What's more, I have a use for keeping this person." Liang Yan looked calm.
replied.
Although he looked calm on the surface, the spiritual power in his body was already silently operating. At this time, his mind was connected with Jianwan. Once the opponent made a move, Liang Yan would immediately use the sword!
However, the old man in green robe obviously had no intention of taking action. He stood there and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Are you going to use him to make a deal with the president of the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce?"
"how do you know?"
Liang Yan's eyes showed surprise. He had never told anyone about the transaction between him and the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce. Even Li Xiran didn't know. How did this person know about it?
"Haha, there is no absolute secret in the world, and you are not the only one making deals with him." The old man in green robe said slowly.
"I see, so to speak. You also want the holy energy of mountains and rivers?" Liang Yan frowned.
"That's not true, I have no interest in the holy energy of mountains and rivers."
The old man in green robe waved his hand and said: "I am here just to find someone. Donor Liang might as well release him first, and how about we make a deal?"
"trade?"
After hearing what he said, Liang Yan did not let Gou Qi out, but asked calmly: "Do you have anything that can be traded?"
The old man in green robe smiled slightly and pointed at Li Xiaosong on Liang Yan's shoulder.
"I think the spiritual beast on your shoulder is pretty good, but it's a bit lacking in cultivation. How about I give it a chance?"
"I'm not his spiritual beast!" Li Xiaosong bared his teeth, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Haha, even though you are a demon clan, now that you are with this fellow Taoist, you can be regarded as one of his spiritual beasts."
"What kind of opportunity is there? Why don't you take it out and take a look?" Liang Yan's expression was noncommittal.
"That's it."
The old man in green robe put his hand into his sleeve, and after a moment he actually pulled out a ball of black flame!
"what is that?"
Liang Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.
The flame was clearly burning in the old man's hand, but he couldn't feel any warmth at all. Instead, there was a hint of coldness sweeping over it, which looked very strange.
"This is the 'yin candlelight'."
The green-robed old man said slowly: "Although your spirit beast is in harmony with flames, the flames it swallows are too complex and have different grades, which in turn affects your own practice. My 'Yin Candle Fire' can
Help her change her tendons and cut her marrow, blending the various flames in her body together to become her true natal magical power."
"Is there such a thing?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly. He didn't know much about the cultivation of the demon clan. After listening to the other party's words, he was doubtful at this time and couldn't be sure whether it was true or false.
"Xiao Song, is what he said just now credible?" Liang Yan asked secretly via voice transmission.
"I don't know." Li Xiaosong shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the flame in the hand of the old man in green robe.
"But the black flame did help me a lot. I could feel an instinctive desire, as if the flame was a necessary part of my life. I saw opportunities, but at the same time I also saw dangers."
Liang Yan's brows furrowed even deeper after listening to Li Xiaosong's voice transmission.
"Danger? Will you die?"
"Maybe, but I have to give this flame a try no matter what. I have a feeling that as long as I can control it, I can be transformed and become different from before."
"Are you betting on what if it fails?"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Yan and Li Xiaosong fell silent at the same time.
The green-robed old man waited for a moment and couldn't help but urge: "Fellow Taoist, how are you thinking? This 'Yin Zhuhuo' is extremely rare. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid your spirit beast will regret it for the rest of its life."
Liang Yan thought for a while, raised his hand and patted the wooden house on his waist, letting Gou Qi out.
Gou Qi's Huanglong Jianwan was chopped into pieces by Liang Yan, and he suffered a huge backlash. At this time, he was seriously injured and vomited blood, and his whole body was depressed.
After he came out of Liang Yan's wooden house, he immediately fell down on the ground and shouted: "Young man named Liang, you can kill or cut him up as you please! I'm not as good as an old dog, and I don't expect you to let him go."
, I just want to give you a good time!"
Liang Yan smiled and said, "I wanted to give you a good time, but it's a pity that someone has come to plead for you now."
"who?"
Gou Qi's heart moved and he quickly turned his head and looked over.
When he saw the appearance of the old man in green robes clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Do you still recognize me?"
The old man in green robe had a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, but for some reason, Gou Qi became a little cowardly, his mouth opened, but he could not say a word.
"Fellow Taoist, have you agreed to the exchange?"
The old man in green robe turned his eyes and fell on Liang Yan's head again.
"No."
Liang Yan shook his head and said: "I originally wanted to exchange Gou Qi and Ying Si for the holy energy of mountains and rivers. Now that one is missing, the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce may not be able to agree. Unless you tell me the whereabouts of another innate energy of creation, otherwise this matter
The deal still can’t be done.”
After hearing this, the old man in green robe pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "As far as I know, what the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce wants is not a living person, right?"
"Yes, even dead people!" Liang Yan responded subconsciously, but he immediately reacted and said with some surprise: "Wait a minute, what do you mean?"
"Haha, I just thought about it. Gou Qi has done many wrong things over the years. He is indeed an unpardonable sin and deserves to die!"
When the word "death" was mentioned, the old man in green robe suddenly raised his crutch and lightly slapped it on the ground.
Boom!
As a muffled sound came, Gou Qi's eyes instantly lost their luster, and before Liang Yan could react, he saw his head rolling down from his neck!
With an old face and lifeless eyes, a sword cultivator at the peak of Tongxuan died in front of Liang Yan.
His head rolled several times on the ground and rolled right to Liang Yan's feet.
"Why did you kill him?"
Liang Yan had an expression of disbelief on his face, what was happening now was really weird.
Just a few breaths ago, the green-robed old man kept saying that he wanted to save Gou Qi, but in the blink of an eye, he killed Gou Qi with his own hands.
The weirdest thing is that the move he just made was invisible and had no spiritual power fluctuation at all. Even Liang Yan didn't see clearly how he killed Gou Qi!
"There's something weird about this person! What kind of skills does he practice?"
Liang Yan suddenly felt a chilling feeling in his heart, and instinctively wanted to stay away from this person.
"Fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry, the deal between us still counts."
The old man in green robe smoothed his beard at this time and said with a smile: "I will give you Gou Qi's head so that it will not affect your transaction with the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce. As for Gou Qi's body, I will take it back for burial."
Liang Yan took a closer look at Gou Qi's remains and found that there was indeed no life inside. The human head at his feet was indeed Gou Qi's head, and it was not a deception.
After confirming again and again, although he was full of doubts and confusion, Liang Yan still nodded slowly and said:
"Since Taoist fellow Taoist is willing to accept such an ending, of course Liang will not shirk it. Gou Qi's body belongs to you, and the 'Yin Zhu Huo' belongs to me."
"good!"
The old man in green robe agreed and blew lightly in his mouth, and the black flames in his hand immediately rose into the air and flew towards Liang Yan's direction.
Liang Yan saw it from a distance and didn't dare to catch it with his hands. Instead, he patted the Taixu gourd on his waist and released a white light, drawing in the black flames.
This "yin candlelight" always gives him a dangerous aura, and it's not easy to take a closer look here. It's better to leave it in Taixu Hu's small world first, and then go back and study it carefully after the incident here.
After collecting the "yin candle", Liang Yan picked up the head on the ground, checked it carefully, and put it into his storage ring.
The two people that the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce wanted to find, Ying Si and Gou Qi, are now completely dead. Liang Yan has no choice but to hope that the other party can really keep his promise and trade the holy energy of mountains and rivers to him.
But now he didn't want to stay here any longer. After hugging the old man in green robe, he wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"etc."
The old man in green robe suddenly stopped him, pointed at Gou Qi's headless body with his crutch, and then said: "It's a rare meeting, so just think of this as my gift to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of black energy surged out of Gou Qi's body and flew towards Liang Yan's location.
Liang Yan frowned slightly, and with a tap of his right index finger, golden light instantly surged out, blocking the black energy in front of him.
After careful inspection, he found that there was no murderous intent in the black air. Liang Yan felt relieved and gradually used golden light to eliminate the black air.
In just a moment, all the black energy dissipated, revealing what was inside, which was a black lotus core!
"This is."
The moment the lotus core was revealed, the black lotus sword in Liang Yan's Taixu gourd began to vibrate crazily, as if he sensed someone close to him and was looking forward to his return.
"This thing was obtained by Gou Qi from the coffin of the owner of the tomb when he robbed the tomb. I think it should have some fate with you. Since Gou Qi is dead, it is useless for me to ask for this thing, so I might as well give it to you.
"
Black Lotus Sword and Liang Yan's minds were connected, and when he sensed Black Lotus Sword's excitement, his heart was beating wildly.
"No wonder, I can sense Gou Qi, and Gou Qi can also sense me. It seems that it is because the Black Lotus Sword and this lotus core are attracted to each other!"
At this time, Liang Yan finally understood why Gou Qi could sense him in turn. It turned out to be because of the lotus heart he carried in his body.
Liang Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his hand and put the black lotus core in mid-air into the storage ring. He cupped his hand to the old man in green robe and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for the gift!"
"You don't have to be polite, fellow Taoist. Maybe there will be a chance to see you again in the future." The old man in green robe stroked his beard, with a faint smile on his face.
Liang Yan nodded, said no more, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and turned into a ray of light, taking Li Xiaosong away from here.
After Liang Yan's figure became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely, the smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared.
The big black-haired dog he was holding suddenly sneezed, his hair fluttering all over his body, and his droopy eyelids also raised.
"You evil beast, why don't you get up?"
It was not the old man in green robe who spoke, but the dog he was holding.
Next, a strange scene occurred.
The body that had been decapitated and had lost all vitality now slowly sat up from the ground.
The old man in green robe blew a breath, and a ray of green cloud enveloped Gou Qi's neck. After a moment, the exact same head grew back.
"Meet the ancestor, meet the ancestor!"
Gou Qi knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the old man in green robe and the big black-haired dog.
"Huh, why do you still remember me?" The big black-haired dog snorted, his eyes full of sarcasm.
The old man in green robe had a calm expression, neither happy nor sad, and said lightly: "How do you feel?"
"Huang Liang is a dream, Huang Liang is a dream!"
Gou Qi let out a long sigh, crawled to the ground, and said no more words.
"Crazy!"
The big black-haired dog cursed and shouted: "It's all my fault for being so benevolent back then. I let you go and look at the good things you've done over the years!"
After it finished scolding, Gou Qi still didn't answer and was still lying on the ground.
"That's all. If I hadn't been greedy and knocked over the oil lamp, causing you to get involved in the cause and effect, you wouldn't have escaped from me."
When the big black-haired dog said this, he sighed softly and said, "Come back."
"yes!"
Gou Qi responded respectfully and bowed three times on the ground. The figure gradually faded and finally turned into a black dog hair.
This dog hair was blown by the breeze and slowly fell on the body of the big black-haired dog. It was no different from the countless black dog hairs around it.
At this moment, in the forbidden area, Liang Yan was riding a gray escaping light, flying quickly to the west.
He remembered very clearly that when they separated from everyone before, Xuanyuan Lingwei and the others were heading west to chase the Rakshasa Demonic Cow.
Calculating the time, if the operation goes smoothly, the Rakshasa Demonic Cow should have been captured.
But what Liang Yan is worried about is not the Rakshasa demon cow, but the enemies hiding in the dark.
From Sun Buer's words just now, it can be inferred that Xuanyuan Lingwei and the others' trip is very dangerous, and it is very likely that they were ambushed by the second prince and people from the Luowang Chamber of Commerce.
Sun Buer is his mortal enemy, while Sun Qianli and Xuanyuan Lingwei are his allies.
Although according to Sun Buer's temper, he might not go to Xuanyuan Lingwei's side again after suffering a huge defeat on his side, Liang Yan still decided to try his luck.
By the way, he also took a look at the fighting situation. Liang Yan didn't mind helping his two allies if it was within his own ability.
In this way, Liang Yan took advantage of the escape light and flew hundreds of miles westward until he heard the sound of people fighting in front of him.
