On the way to Qingyun County, Lei Lei also learned from Zhou Honghai what happened to the Zhou family.
Ever since Lei Ting helped the Zhou family participate in the battle of the Mysterious Realm, Zhou Yaner naturally followed Mo Lingzun and practiced the spiritual way. Moreover, a year ago, she successfully became a member of the Spirit Master Association.
Officially registered personnel have brought a lot of glory to the Zhou family.
However, at this time, the Great Yan Empire had also launched an all-out war on the mainland, and the Spirit Masters Association had also been tied to Murong Yi's camp due to the return of the five psychic elders. Many spirits originally belonged to other forces.
Because they hated Murong Yi, they all terminated their relations with the Spiritual Master Association. This book
Now, according to regulations, spiritual masters who betray the association will be severely punished. However, the mainland is in troubled times, and the spiritual masters association cannot control many spiritual masters as before, so it naturally does not have the ability to punish many rebels. Therefore, the spiritual masters association
Gradually it became the exclusive institution of the Great Yan Empire, and its power also plummeted.
Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Spiritual Masters Association has powerful men like the Five Psychic Elders sitting in charge, and its influence in Dayan is still unparalleled. Wanlingbao Pavilion and the Zhou family are subjects of Dayan themselves.
, so the changes in the Spiritual Masters Association have little to do with them. They are still affiliated with the Spiritual Masters Association and are dispatched by the Spiritual Masters Association.
Just half a year ago, Mo Lingzun suddenly received a transfer order from Lingcheng, ordering him and another stationed Huo Lingzun to go to Lingcheng headquarters immediately. The reason for the transfer was not mentioned in the order.
The whole thing is also full of strangeness and weirdness.
However, because it was an official transfer order from the Lingcheng headquarters, even if it was strange, Mo Lingzun and Huo Lingzun still had to obey it. Before Mo Lingzun left, he was worried, and Zhou Yaner clearly sensed the feeling in his master's heart.
, there must be something on his mind. Sure enough, at the end, Mo Lingzun handed Yan'er a spiritual tablet with his soul aura on it. Once something happened to him, the spiritual tablet would be able to react immediately.
One month after Mo Lingzun and the others set out, Mo Lingzun's spiritual tablet shattered without any warning. This also meant that Mo Lingzun... was dead!
While Zhou Yan'er was grieving, she also smelled something bad. Because from the information obtained by her Zhou family, in addition to Qingyun County, the spiritual masters stationed in many surrounding counties and cities were also in similar places.
At the same time, they received the same transfer order and went to the Lingcheng headquarters. This information made the Zhou family have to wonder whether there was any unexpected change in Lingcheng, the headquarters of the Spiritual Master Association.
Although there were suspicions, the Zhou family did not have the qualifications to investigate and participate in the truth of the events in Lingcheng. Without the support of Wanlingbao Pavilion, the Zhou family was still the dominant force in Qingyun County, and it did not cause any turmoil. It was not until half the time.
months......
In the two counties near Qingyun County, some spiritual masters with only four or five lines of cultivation were successively taken away by people who were called envoys from Lingcheng. As for their destination, they were all at Lingcheng headquarters.
.This situation immediately aroused Zhou Honghai's vigilance. Because his granddaughter is also a fourth-line spiritual master, and her name was registered with the Spiritual Master Association not long ago.
So, just in case, Zhou Honghai secretly arranged for Zhou Yan'er to hide in a secret residence outside the county. If nothing happens for a while, then that's it. If what they expected happened, then Yan'er would at least have a way out.
Sure enough, less than a day after Zhou Honghai sent Zhou Yan'er out of the county, the envoy from Lingcheng headquarters suddenly arrived. Although the Zhou family members tried their best to delay and blundered for a long time, the truth was finally revealed. The angry Lingcheng
The envoy summoned the generals stationed nearby and launched a thorough purge of the Zhou family!
In a one-sided battle, the Zhou family members were quickly killed and captured. Zhou Yan'er's father, the next clan member, also fell into the hands of the Dayan army. However, Zhou Honghai and Zhou Yan'er, because
After receiving the news from the tribe, he quickly fled.
They had no way of knowing what happened to the Zhou family after that. They only knew that after ten days of running away, they were followed by pursuers. Along the way, many clan masters who protected them were killed one after another, until they met
Before boarding the Thunderbolt, there was no one left around them, and only the grandfather and grandson were running for their lives in panic. Zhou Honghai was determined to send his granddaughter out of the country and then turn back to fight the pursuers, which was how he sustained himself until now.
This information naturally made Lei Lei extremely surprised.
As one of Murong Yi's effective minions, the Spiritual Master Association is basically unlikely to have any external changes. There is also no one on the mainland who dares to disturb Murong Yi except himself. Although Murong Yi
He has made countless enemies, but most of these enemies only have the courage to defend themselves passively. Even top beings like the Nine Emperors and Five Emperors only gave it a try after being fought over by Lei Lei.
Therefore, as expected, these envoys from Lingcheng who came to capture the spiritual master were probably ordered by Murong Yi. Judging from the fact that the envoys could mobilize the Yan army, it also proved Lei Lei's speculation.
Then the conclusion is about to come out! It’s Murong Yi who wants these spiritual masters!
He first needed a group of spiritual masters with strong cultivation, and then took their lives for unknown reasons. Maybe the lives of these spiritual masters were not enough to meet his requirements, so the second time he focused on cultivating spiritual masters.
For the weaker spiritual master.
Perhaps it is because the number of spiritual masters that the Spiritual Masters Association can control has dropped sharply, and the number of spiritual masters that Murong Yi can summon cannot satisfy him, so he resorts to the next best thing and plunders Zhou Yaner who has not yet reached the level of cultivation.
A certain degree of new spiritual master.
"This thief...why does he need so many spiritual masters? Maybe he will kill them in the end?" Lei Lei lowered his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
He thought of the scene he had seen at the underground altar before. Lu Xueqing, Wang Zhaoyi, Ouyang Jie, etc., as well as a large number of spiritual masters who were obviously above them in cultivation, all appeared at the altar in strange postures.
I also thought that the Dayan soldier controlled by Hatu was finally transferred to Lingcheng and was killed in a strange way.
Combining clues one by one, a clear clue gradually formed in Lei Ting's mind!
The occurrence of these things is inextricably linked to Murong Yi's ongoing conspiracy. The deaths of the soldiers and Mo Lingzun are most likely some kind of sacrificial ritual that Murong Yi is performing to complete his conspiracy and make
He gains greater strength.
This conspiracy should be coming to an end soon. Because after all the spiritual masters like Zhou Yan'er have been plundered, where else will there be spiritual masters for Murong Yi to use? Moreover, for an inconspicuous little spiritual master, even
It is enough to dispatch generals with great achievements in the realm.
This shows that Murong Yi has reached the stage of being crazy and desperate at this moment! Based on his understanding of Murong Yi's character, Murong Yi will not easily compromise his prestige to blatantly deal with his subjects unless he reaches the point of last resort.
"It seems that the underground altar built by Murong Yi is very likely to be within the Lingcheng headquarters..." Based on the above clues, Lei Lei's mind became clear. Since so many sacrifices are concentrated in Lingcheng,
So even if Murong Yi is not underground in Lingcheng, he must have a direct connection with Lingcheng.
Just as Lei Lei was thinking about it carefully, at his feet, the rescue battle in Wan Ling Bao Pavilion in Qingyun County also started after Zhou Honghai and Zhou Yan'er appeared.
Although he was holding a few thunder bombs given by Thunderbolt in his hand, Zhou Honghai still felt frightened in front of thousands of soldiers who were as powerful as himself and full of evil spirits. However, he didn't know when he thought about it.
The clan members who were born and died felt a nameless fire rising in their hearts, and their fear was reduced a lot.
"Come on! You bunch of beasts. I want to seek justice for my Zhou family today!" Zhou Honghai shouted angrily outside the camp, causing many soldiers to laugh.
How dare an old man who is just a perfect man dare to face such a rampage in front of their army? Is this guy crazy?
In the center of the military camp, a broad, burly, and fully armed man was drinking and eating meat with a group of his men. Zhou Honghai's roar was heard, and he immediately released his senses, and he immediately knew what had happened.
"Hey! The old man of the Zhou family has come to surrender with his granddaughter!" This strong man is the general stationed in this area - Meng Luo! There was a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth, but he did not personally
Plan to show up.
In his opinion, Zhou Honghai and a fourth-line spiritual master were not qualified for him to take action personally.
boom!
Just when he was taking some time off, continuing to drink and eat meat, and waiting for his men to capture the prey Emperor Zun needed and deliver it to him, there was suddenly a loud sound like a thunderbolt outside the camp, and then a violent wave that moved him.
, sweeping across the entire camp in an instant.
Meng Luo's expression immediately became ugly. Because his perception clearly told him that with this loud noise, more than 200 of his soldiers had lost their aura. Such a loss, even if it was
He was used to seeing the cruelty of the battlefield, and he was also frightened.
"Did this old man invite some powerful people? Why didn't I notice it?" Meng Luo ignored eating and drinking. He lifted the table in front of him and disappeared in a blur. There were three lieutenants with him.
, the cultivation level was also at the initial stage of the earth realm, and he immediately followed him out of the camp.
"Bastard!" As soon as he came out of the camp, Munro saw the mess in front of him. Hundreds of soldiers lay on the ground, with blood flowing and gathering into many small streams. Some of them were burning.
There were no signs of life on the soldiers who smelled bad. The others who were still alive had only one breath left and could not move.
His eyes immediately turned viciously to Zhou Honghai, who had a dull expression at the entrance of the camp!
"You did all this?" Meng Luo shouted almost ferociously. He released his senses with all his strength, but did not find any powerful aura. With Lei Lei's current attainments, even though he was hiding nearby, Meng Luo could not help but
may be discovered.
Therefore, although I am very suspicious, there can be no one else who caused all this, it can only be the head of the Zhou family who seems to be nothing special, and he seems to be shocked by the scene in front of him!
