Wei Zhong walked along the Zhiming Cave. The cave was dark, and the blood-eating bats huddled together, daring not to make a sound. Even the half-human-sized blood-eating bat king wrapped himself tightly with his wings, shivering. trembling.

His consciousness spread forward, and he could vaguely see the hooded figure in the cave.

The alchemy aura emanating from his body frightened Wei Zhong a little, but it was still within the range that Wei Zhong could handle. Its momentum is weaker than that of several palace masters of the Qingmu Sect, let alone the evil cultivators who attacked Black Lake Island.

"Senior, what are you doing here?" Before he entered the passage, Wei Zhong made a sound to test.

The latter opened his hood, revealing a face that was somewhat familiar to Wei Zhong: "Friend Chu, long time no see."

Wei Zhong stepped into the cave and saw his true face through the light from the cracks in the cliff. There was a bit of astonishment and disbelief on his face. He asked thoughtfully, "Fellow Daoist Luo?"

When the latter heard this, he smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist Chu is really sharp-eyed. I have changed so much, and Taoist friend can still recognize me at a glance."

"this······"

The Luo Mingyan in front of Wei Zhong now seemed to be not only a big change, but also a completely different person.

In the past, Luo Mingyan always wore a Taoist robe and maintained a modest smile on his face. He gave people the impression of being like a spring breeze and a perfectly righteous persona.

But at this moment, in front of Wei Zhong, Luo Mingyan had disheveled black hair, slightly glowing with red, and a black mark as thick as a knuckle between his eyebrows, dotted with a touch of vermilion. Coupled with his thin and dull face, he gave people an enchanting look. A strange, elusive feeling.

Even the breath has changed significantly, and there is an aura that does not belong to foundation building...

"My Taoist friend has been missing for so many years, what happened?"

The latter took off his hood: "It's just a cliché story about someone saving you from death..."

Wei Zhong listened to his story and learned that when he was trapped in a group of monsters, he was rescued by a Yuanying demon cultivator. The latter appreciated his unique talent and brought him back to his sect, hoping to teach him his unique magic skills.

Hearing this, Wei Zhong was surprised: "Can you form an elixir in more than ten years?"

"Fellow Taoist, you have misunderstood. My true cultivation level is only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. This power only relies on the fake elixir in my body."

Wei Zhong sighed, thinking that he had climbed from the early stage of foundation building to core formation in just a dozen years. Such powerful magic power made Wei Zhong's heart flutter for a moment.

Holding back the fluctuations in his heart, Wei Zhong warned himself: "The Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art is your future. You must not lose the big because of the speed of the magic power."

"However, my fellow Taoist has been improving rapidly over the years. I'm afraid he will be promoted to the middle stage of foundation building soon, right?"

Wei Zhong shook his head: "It's just a pile of resources. It can't compare to fellow Taoists."

Staring at his face, Wei Zhong thought about it for a few moments and then said: "Could it be that the demon cultivators who have caused trouble in the Qingmu Sect in the past few years are fellow Taoists?"

The latter laughed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Chu is too unsure of my character. Although I have joined the Demon Sect now, I can't do such a thing as deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors."

Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost about to kill him just now, but fortunately he said something to test him.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a sharp stinging sensation between his eyebrows. The pain was so intense that Wei Zhong's heart trembled.

'Anyone else? Yes, on the top of your head? ’

Wei Zhong tried hard to maintain his figure and lowered his head, suppressing his curiosity and trying not to look up.

Seeing Wei Zhong's body trembling, Luo Mingyan asked with some concern:

"Fellow Taoist, what's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just a recurrence of an old injury. I'll just take care of it later."

"Speaking of which, does Brother Luo know the origin of that group of rebellious demonic cultivators? We, the foundation-building forces, have suffered miserably from them in recent years. We have been intercepted by them several times when we sold the output of the spiritual island, and we have lost a lot of spiritual stones. "

Luo Mingyan lowered his head and muttered: "Fellow Taoist knows the difference between good and evil, but do you know that there are factions in the evil way?"

Wei Zhong was slightly stunned: "Well, Pindao has been practicing hard for many years near Qingmu Sect, and he really doesn't know about this."

Luo Mingyan added: "These demonic cultivators who are causing trouble in Mangyuan Mansion actually come from the forces under the Tianji Demon Sect on the opposite side of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains."

"Tianji Demon Sect?"

"This demon sect is a Nascent Soul force at the same level as the Shadow Moon Sect. It is also a militant faction among the demons. It advocates invading others and seizing resources to support itself. The demon monks who have broken into Mangyuan Mansion now are just its outposts and cannot pass through. I'm afraid it won't be long before the army invades the territory."

"This, why would the dignified Nascent Soul Demon Sect want to invade a Golden Pill Sect like the Qingmu Sect?"

"Of all the prefectures in Yunzhou, Mangyuan Prefecture is the weakest, followed by Yunjiang Prefecture, which is the weakest. Secondly, the two prefectures are closest to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, so they are the first to bear the brunt."

Wei Zhong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Mangyuan Mansion, where he had stayed for a long time, was the weakest in the state: "Could it be that the righteous Nascent Soul Sect above, such as the Shadow Moon Sect that had taken action in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, would just sit back and watch this? Something happened?”

"Haha, king against king, against general. Now that Tianji Demon Sect's main sect has not come to an end, Shadow Moon Sect is naturally embarrassed to start this. The internal conflict of the human race's Nascent Soul forces, the Supreme Transformation God above will not sit idly by. "

Wei Zhong sighed a little in his heart. Sure enough, the world of cultivation is just like the ordinary world. However, due to the entanglement of interests and the struggle for resources, someone will stop him when it is possible to break his muscles and bones.

Seeing Wei Zhong thinking deeply, Luo Mingyan said: "I am here to inform my friends that Mangyuan Mansion will soon become the center of the storm. I hope you can make plans in advance.

Whether it is to rely on a certain force to survive, or to simply find a way to leave this place, it is a good choice. With the intersection of Taoist friends and the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, it should not be a problem. "

Wei Zhong grinned bitterly: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for informing me. Do you know that the Luo family and the Ning family have not been doing well in recent years?"

Luo Mingyan shook his head: "I have been practicing Taoism for many years, and the relationship between my family and me has long been weak. When I disappeared, I was just trying to maintain it with profits.

Although I enjoy the convenience brought by my status as the true successor of the Aoki Sect, I naturally have to bear the consequences of my enemies' revenge after my disappearance. "

Wei Zhong was silent. Today, the Luo family still barely retains the name of the Qi Refining family, but the Ning family has been divided and disintegrated in the intra-clan struggle.

"Fellow Taoist, you have done your best to accept Jia Qi. I would like to thank you, fellow Taoist."

"It's just Brother Ning's request. Besides, this kid is also talented. I'm quite satisfied."

"Well, as for that, I hope Brother Chu will think more about the future. I will leave now."

Before Wei Zhong could reply, a strong wind blew by, and Luo Mingyan, who was dressed in black robe, disappeared into the cave, and the tingling sensation on Wei Zhong's head disappeared.

‘Could this pressure be Nascent Soul? Luo Mingyan's current identity is not simple. ’

Wei Zhong was thankful over and over again that he did not take action decisively, otherwise he would have had no choice but to hide in the cave. I don’t know if with Nascent Soul’s eyes, I can see my hidden cultivation.

Outside Black Lake Island, a strong wind rolled up waves in the lake and overturned countless fishing boats.

In the air, a young old man appeared next to Luo Mingyan. He had black hair and a white beard. A dirty black Taoist robe wrapped his thin body. His exposed palms seemed to have no flesh and blood, leaving only a layer of dark skin wrapping the bones. , seems very scary.

"This friend of yours is interesting. He seems to have sensed my murderous intention."

Luo Mingyan's expression remained unchanged: "Fellow Daoist Chu is a casual cultivator. If he is able to build a foundation, he naturally has a few brushes."

"Haha, let's not talk about him anymore. Now your wish is over. You have been to the Luo family, the Ning family, and the Black Lake Island.

All that's left is to go to the Qingmu Sect's mountain gate and retrieve a fragment of the soul from the soul lamp for you.

Now that things have come to this, are you willing to become my disciple and practice the "Free and Wishful Heavenly Demon Art"? "

Luo Mingyan turned his head and looked at the people around him, and said with a headache:

"Old man Cang, I really don't understand why you always stick to me. Is my true demon blood really so rare?"

Instead of hanging around for so many years, Luo Mingyan has figured out his nature and knows that these words will not make him angry, but will help to bring the two parties closer.

The latter laughed twice:

"True demon bloodline is indeed rare, but it is even rarer to be able to suppress it as submissively as you do.

My Wu Shi Sect focuses on keeping one's mind and controlling one's desires. The more one can control himself, the stronger he will be.

And those who carry the true demon bloodline are often affected by it and become violent, contradicting what I want from the Wushi Sect.

Although violent people can maximize the power of their blood, they are no longer humans, but demons, and they are destined to not go far in spiritual cultivation.

But you are different. Being able to suppress the bloodline, you will not be affected by its negative effects. Instead, you will turn it into a handy sharp weapon like a knife.

This method is to control the bloodline, rather than being controlled by the bloodline like crazy people like Tianjimen.

Practicing the "Free and Ruyi Tianmo Gong" is exactly the work of Tianhe.

The bottlenecks of pill formation and Yuan Ying in front of you are not a problem for you, and even achieving the realm of divine transformation may not be impossible. "

Even though Luo Mingyan had been cultivating Taoism for many years, he was also moved by these words.

In those days when I was the true successor of the Qingmu Sect, the highest thing I thought about was forming pills, let alone the higher Nascent Soul and Transformation God.

Years of persistence seems to be shaken again, the righteous way, the evil way...

Seeing the struggle on his face, Cangmingzi knew that he was shaken, so he added:

"Now that you have mastered my magic method, you are no longer Luo Mingyan, the true disciple of the Qingmu Sect, but a genuine demon cultivator.

If your sect leader were to see you like this, without my protection, I'm afraid he would kill you in an instant, with the power of the authentic sect.

Think about your brothers and sisters in the Wushi Sect, dying like this will make them feel chilling. Maybe in the future, they will hold a grudge and launch an attack against the Aoki Sect together with the Tianji Sect..."

Luo Mingyan covered his ears in annoyance, but Cang Mingzi's voice sounded directly in his head.

"Okay, okay, why don't I become my disciple? I will become your disciple, Cangmingzi."

"Haha!" Cang Mingzi had a smile on his face, but he quickly stopped and said solemnly: "You have to look like a disciple to be a disciple. I don't accept your apprenticeship like this."

Luo Mingyan was helpless after hearing this. He immediately knelt on his knees, lowered his head, and kowtowed heavily: "Master is above, please accept my disciple's obeisance."

Seeing this, Cangmingzi smiled again and lifted him up with both hands:

"Good disciple, get up."

"I, Cangmingzi, am not an unknown person, and the disciple I accept cannot be an unknown person. You have a fake elixir in your body now, how about you get a real elixir for me?"

Luo Mingyan frowned, somewhat confused about his trick. But for true elixirs, apart from the Qingmu Sect and Yunji Chamber of Commerce, there are elixir-forming elixirs nearby, and there are only those demon cultivators who have been hiding.

"Then I choose the demon cultivator under Tianjimen."

Cangmingzi chuckled and said, "No problem."

Luo Mingyan was a little surprised: "I thought Master would reject me because he is a member of the Demon Sect, so as to avoid conflict with them."

There was a moment of astonishment on Cangmingzi's face, and then he laughed: "Hahaha, conflict, why would I, Wu Shimen, be afraid of conflict?

Now that you worship me as your master, you are the only holy son of my Wushi Sect. Apart from me, you are the only one respected by everyone in the sect. If you see that Tianjimen is unhappy, you might as well give the order and I will be the vanguard and lead the sect disciples to rush towards Tianjimen. "

Luo Mingyan was shocked by these words and was speechless for a while.

······

In Zhiming Cave, Wei Zhong calmed down the blood-eating bat for a while, and then came to the outside world. He saw the bright sky, but his heart was filled with a layer of gloom.

The news brought by Luo Mingyan was so explosive that Wei Zhong originally thought it was just some idle demon cultivators harassing the surroundings of the Qingmu Sect, but he did not expect that it turned out to be an organized and premeditated spying act by the Nascent Soul Demon Sect.

The possible fate of the Nascent Soul cultivator is no longer something Wei Zhong's small body can bear.

It's time to take out the second-level Qingluo Zui recipe to obtain the protection of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. If possible, it is best to leave Mangyuan Mansion and stay away from the place of right and wrong.

Without much rest, Wei Zhong immediately rushed to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

······

"Who dares to break into my Qingmu Sect's gate?"

Duan Delong let out an angry roar and was already sitting in the center of the sect's formation. The spiritual power in his body was continuously instilled into it. Combined with the support of the huge spiritual energy of the spiritual veins, the Nine Dragons Sword Formation quickly unfolded.

The azure aura enveloped the Qingmu Sect's mountain gate like an eggshell, and the greenery condensed on it, turning into nine dragon-shaped heads. The dragon had two horns, and a wooden beard grew out of it. Its mouth slowly opened, spewing out streams of rich wood-attribute aura.

The surrounding Mingyuefang City and even the Yunji Chamber of Commerce a little further away were attracted by the movement of the Qingmu Sect. Ruan Liuzhen appeared in mid-air with a solemn expression, followed closely by the figure of Old Yan.

"With such a large formation in the Qingmu Sect, could it be a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Eighty-Nine," Ruan Liuzhen replied, waving his sleeves, the place where the Chamber of Commerce was gathered and the surrounding ten miles suddenly lit up with spiritual light, and a huge circular magic circle appeared.

The monks among them were all surprised and suspicious when they saw this. Some of them even started to scatter and tried to leave the place, but they moved back after they could not go five miles.

"Shopkeeper Ruan's 'Sky Sweeping Formation' is becoming more and more sophisticated. It can actually trap so many foundation-building monks in it at the same time. Even if I come up with this formation now, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Ruan Liuzhen smiled and said: "How can it be possible for a small formation to stop Mr. Yan?"

Then he said in a loud voice downwards: "Something happened suddenly and the city was closed urgently. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"I hope it won't affect our Yunji Chamber of Commerce." The two of them were floating in the air and looked nervously at the Qingmu Sect Gate in the distance.

······

"Hey, this Qingmu Sect does have some strength. The dragon head condensed with wood spiritual energy looks so similar, and the wood spiritual energy it spits out is also extraordinary."

As soon as he finished speaking, the breaths of the nine dragon heads gathered together, and the momentum became more and more terrifying as they were superimposed on each other. The usually gentle wood spiritual energy, under the gathering of this formation, actually exudes a ferocious meaning like the spirit of Jin Ge.

Cangmingzi's words included both praise and ridicule. When the battle reached its peak, he said to Luo Mingyan beside him:

"This formation is not bad. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators may not be able to defeat it, but it is nothing in front of me. You have to keep an eye on it."

Before he finished speaking, the killing move of the Nine Dragon Sword Formation had been condensed, and the wood attribute aura gathered together to form a wooden sword several feet long.

Zhao Baifei took it, raised his sword and slashed down at Cangmingzi from the air. A green ripple was set off in the air, and tiny cracks appeared in the space.

"The formation is good, and so is the sword. It's just that the person wielding the sword is a bit weak."

Cangmingzi stretched out his skinny right hand, and a flash of blood appeared in it. It was a one-foot-long scimitar, with a body as red as jade, a handle as black as ink, and a red tassel on the tip.

As the red tassel fluttered, Cang Mingzi held the sword and struck at the green sword light.

There was no violent collision as imagined. The bloody sword seemed to strike seven inches away from the sword light, cutting it off with one blow. Then the sword light that was enough to compress the space slowly dissipated as if it was swallowed by something invisible. .

Cang Mingzi held up a beautiful sword flower, and the sword in his hand disappeared.

Zhao Bai, who was in the formation, was exhausted. He looked at the two people outside the formation and said with difficulty: "Nascent Soul!"

Luo Mingyan saw Cang Mingzi holding the bloody sword and erasing the sword light with one blow. It didn't cause many ripples. Even when he stood aside, there was only a breeze.

He was immediately shocked and doubtful, then he smiled and said: "Master, your move seems to have the power of a weapon. Disciple, I have never seen the power of Nascent Soul."

Cang Mingzi curled his lips: "Your master, I am old, do you still want me to catch the sharp weapon with my hands? Even if the master can bear it, can you hold it by the side?"

Besides, my sword is originally a natal magic weapon recorded in the "Zi Zi Ru Yi Tian Mo Gong". It has some dissolving qualities of the technique, which is equivalent to 30% of your master's and my strength.

But since you said so, Master, I am embarrassed not to show my hands. "

Within the formation, Nie Yuansen and Yu Xianglan appeared next to Zhao Bai. Seeing that their formation failed to work, the two of them knew that they were Nascent Soul monks.

"Senior Brother Nie, you and I take the positions of the two senior brothers and strike again..."

Nie Yuansen shook his head: "The failure of the Nine Dragon Sword Formation's attack is enough to show that the person coming is definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul. Even if he strikes again, it will be in vain. Even my uncle can't do anything here. I'll go up and ask. Senior, please wait and notify the Supreme Sect."

"Brother!"

Before Yu Xianglan could come and persuade her, Nie Yuansen got up and flew out of the formation.

He happened to see the strange Yuanying wave his sleeves and release a sea of ​​blood, and even said in a sad voice: "Senior Brother..."

Cangmingzi blew the white beard in front of his mouth, and fiddled with the wide sleeves of his robe with his thin arms:

"Watch it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red stream flowed out of his sleeve. In just a few breaths, the stream grew larger and larger, and finally converged into a blood-red ocean that covered the sky and covered the entire mountain gate of Qingmu Sect.

"Wow!" It was like a downpour. Bloody water droplets hit the formation, and wisps of water smoke emerged.

The nine wooden dragon heads quickly withered and decayed like trees, and the aura of the formation also collapsed and lost its protective aura.

"How can you be hindered by a mere small formation when you are free and happy?"

With a smile on his face, Cang Mingzi pulled the stunned Luo Mingyan and flew towards the mountain gate.

At this time, Nie Yuansen came up to him, looked at Cang Mingzi and bowed in salute: "Senior, I spent a lot of time to enter my Qingmu Sect's gate. What are you doing?"

Cang Mingzi pointed to Luo Mingyan beside him: "Take a soul lamp."

Nie Yuansen looked at the people around him and asked with some uncertainty: "Ming Yan?"

The latter then raised his hands and saluted: "Sect Master, long time no see."

Cangmingzi snorted: "I have accepted him as my disciple. From now on, he is no longer a disciple of your Qingmu Sect. Get his soul lamp quickly."

Nie Yuansen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then quickly sent a message to Yu Xianglan below, and then said to Cangmingzi: "Senior, wait a moment, junior has ordered someone to get it."

Then he looked at Luo Mingyan, whose image had changed drastically, and sighed in his heart. He really didn't expect that the true disciple who had been missing for many years would look like this when he returned to the sect again.

Before letting Cang Mingzi, the senior Nascent Soul wait long, Yu Xianglan had already arrived holding the soul lamp, looking at Luo Mingyan in front of her with some disbelief.

Luo Mingyan took it and crushed the shell of the soul lamp with one hand, and the soul fire immediately flew back to his body.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Cang Mingzi left a word of "discussion" and pulled Luo Mingyan away. Opening his arms, the blood-colored water droplets remaining on the ground floated upward and were all collected into his sleeves and robes.

The defensive aura that had disappeared from the Aoki Sect's formation reappeared, and even the nine wooden dragon heads grew out, although they were rough in appearance and more than half their size.

"Senior brother?"

Nie Yuansen shook his head, watched the two people leave, and slowly said to Yu Xianglan behind him: "Today, Luo Mingyan will be removed from my Qingmu Sect disciples. Those forces that have targeted the Luo family and the Ning family, junior sister, you can watch and deal with them. Come on."

"yes!"

Now Luo Mingyan worships Yuanying as his master, and his status is completely different. Although he is a demonic Yuanying, he can't waste much energy against an alchemy-forming sect like Qingmu Sect.

"You still have to treat your seniors with respect," he then turned around and asked Yu Xianglan, "Have you notified the Shadow Moon Sect about this?"

Yu Xianglan nodded.

"That's good. Our Qingmu Sect has fulfilled our duties, and the Shang Sect will handle the rest."

On the way out of the Qingmu Sect, Cang Mingzi played with the seven blood-red beads in his hand and asked Luo Mingyan with some pride: "Disciple, how are my skills?"

Luo Mingyan stared closely at the blood beads in his hand, unable to believe that the sea of ​​blood just now was actually made of such blood beads. After listening to Cang Mingzi's inquiry, he bowed his head and said, "Master, you are mighty!"
