The scum is all over the world, and there are Shura fields everywhere

Chapter 244: Escape in Advance
Before they knew it, the group had arrived at the door of the meditation room.

The door was closed and there was a large silencing sign on it.

This talisman has the effect of eliminating sound, allowing the area around the meditation room to remain quiet so as not to disturb Hu Qingbai who is concentrating on his practice inside.

For example, at this moment, the little fox demon knocked on the door several times, but there was no sound at all.

He tried to call out to Elder Qingbai, but no sound came out.

In the end, he could only look at the patriarch for help.

Hu Tianyin stepped forward, removed the silencing talisman himself, and then knocked on the door.

This time there was a knock on the door, making a tapping sound.

She called out, "Elder Qingbai, the Demon King is here. Please come out and see him immediately."

I waited for a long time but there was no response.

Hu Tianyin couldn't help but frown. She knocked on the door again, but still no response.

Just as she was about to knock on the door for the third time, Hengye told her to go away.

He just kicked the door hard.

The restriction set on the door was kicked directly and broken. Without the protection of the restriction, the door could not withstand the force and shattered with a click. Then the entire door fell backwards and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

The little fox demon was frightened and turned pale. He wanted to speak up to dissuade them but he didn't have the courage.

Although Hu Tianyin felt that Hengye's behavior was too rude, she did not say much. After all, the other party's strength was there, and she had no right to comment.

Hengye strode into the meditation room, followed closely by Yang Rongrong.

There was no furniture in the meditation room, and one could see the entire room at a glance. There was a magic circle drawn on the ground, and a golden cushion was placed in the center of the formation. Logically, Hu Qingbai should be sitting on this cushion to practice, but at this moment the cushion was empty, and there was no sign of Hu Qingbai in the room.

Hengye immediately looked at Hu Tianyin and asked in a deep voice.

"What about others?"

Hu Tianyin looked bewildered: "I don't know, he has been practicing in seclusion these years, I haven't seen him for a long time."

She was afraid that the demon king would not believe her, so she raised her right hand to the sky and swore.

"I'm telling the truth. If I tell even a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Then she turned her head and looked at the little fox demon who was standing at the door and didn't dare to come in, and asked sternly: "Didn't you say Hu Qingbai has been in seclusion? Why is he not here? Where did he go?"

The little fox demon hadn't recovered from the fact that Hu Qingbai was missing yet, but was made dizzy by this series of questions.

He stammered, "I, I don't know. I'm here every day, but I've never seen Elder Qingbai come out of the meditation room. Logically, he should still be in seclusion."

Hengye sneered: "It seems that he knew we were coming to find him, and he had something to hide, so he ran away in advance."

Hu Tianyin was confused: "Did Elder Qingbai do anything? Why would he run away for no reason?"

Hengye ignored her question and turned to look at Yang Rongrong. At this moment, she was squatting in the magic circle, staring at the magic circle runes on the ground, obviously studying the magic circle.

Yang Rongrong looked solemn, muttering, "There's something wrong with this magic circle."

Hengye asked cooperatively, "What's the problem?" Yang Rongrong stretched out her fingertips and tapped the runes on the ground, and slowly said, "When cultivators are in seclusion, they like to use the Spirit Gathering Array to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment so that they can practice more smoothly. I know that you demon cultivators don't use spiritual energy when practicing, you use demon energy, but the basic principles are similar. The effect of this array is similar to the Spirit Gathering Array. It can increase the concentration of demon energy in the room, which is beneficial for demon cultivators to practice."

Hengye knew that if that was all, Yang Rongrong wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he waited quietly for her to continue.

"But in addition to the spirit gathering formation, there is another formation hidden in this formation."

At this time Luo Luo also came over. He stared at the magic circle on the ground again and again, and he also saw some clues.

"This seems to be a magic array used to stabilize the soul."

Yang Rongrong nodded: "This is the Juyuan Array. Its runes are very similar to the Juling Array, but the effect is completely different. It can help cultivators stabilize their souls and prevent their souls from collapsing. Under normal circumstances, cultivators do not need to use the Juyuan Array, unless..."

Luo Luo continued her words.

"Unless there is something wrong with that person's soul."

Hu Tianyin was in doubt. Could it be that Yang Rongrong was right? Hu Qingbai had separated a part of his soul and quietly left Fox Demon Mountain? !
But why would he take such a huge risk to do such a thing?
Heng Ye looked at her, his face as dark as water: "Didn't you say that you could find out who entered or left Fox Demon Mountain? How could you not know when Hu Qingbai left?"

Hu Tianyin smiled bitterly: "I really don't know. The restrictions on Fox Demon Mountain have not fluctuated, and there is no sign that Hu Qingbai has left."

At this time, Yang Rongrong suddenly spoke.

"He should still be in Fox Demon Mountain."

Everyone looked at her.

Yang Rongrong pointed at a little blood stain beside the golden silk cushion and analyzed calmly: "This should be the blood vomited by Hu Qingbai. He was seriously injured and he definitely can't walk far."

Hu Tianyin wanted to ask her how she could be sure that Hu Qingbai was seriously injured, but before she could say anything, Heng Ye gave Hu Tianyin an order.

"Seal off Fox Demon Mountain and search for Hu Qingbai. We must find him even if we have to dig deep into the ground!"

Hu Tianyin had no way to ask any more questions and hurriedly took the order and left.

After she left, Yang Rongrong continued, "The person who attacked me in the Blue Crystal Lake yesterday should be Hu Qingbai's soul. His soul exploded in the lake, but his body is still fine. The broken soul returned to his body, so he did not die. As a result, his soul was severely damaged and needed to be repaired by the Gathering Yuan Array."

Luo Luo touched his chin and said, "The injury to the Yuan Shen is no joke. It is impossible for him to recover in a short time just by using a Ju Yuan formation."

Yang Rongrong stood up and said, "That's why I said he can't run far."

Hengye noticed that the little fox demon outside the door seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he said directly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

The little fox demon shuddered involuntarily and stammered, "I, I remember there was a painting hanging there."

Yang Rongrong followed his gaze and saw the wall beside her. The wall was empty and there was nothing on it.

She stood up, tapped the wall with her fingertips, and asked, "What's the painting hanging here?"

The little fox demon answered truthfully: "It is a portrait of a nine-tailed fox. Elder Qingbai treasures that painting very much, and no one else is allowed to even touch it."

Yang Rongrong guessed, "It seems that Hu Qingbai took the portrait with him when he escaped."

Hu Tianyin mobilized all the fox demons in the clan and turned the entire Fox Demon Mountain upside down, but still failed to find Hu Qingbai.

There was no other way, Hu Tianyin could only come to Hengye to explain the truth.

"We really dug deep into the ground, but we couldn't find him."
