"You've already gone out, why do you have to come back?"

An old voice sounded faintly, and it was the mysterious man who wanted to plot against Chen Luo before. A large amount of black liquid seeped out of the surface of the black sword, and these liquids, like the insects that were crushed by Chen Luo before, slowly condensed together and turned into a hunched and short figure.

"Are you from the Ancient Sword Sect?"

Chen Luo looked at the old guy in front of him who was squeezed out of the black sword like mud, and asked.

“I guess so.”

"What's the meaning?"

"I used to be from the Ancient Sword Sect, but not anymore."

The old man did not hide anything and directly told his origins. Of course, it is also possible that Chen Luo's strength was recognized by him, so he did not try to be mysterious like he did to fool others.

"Little old man Ding Mao."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ding." Chen Luo showed a bright smile on his face.

Finally, he caught a cultivator from the Upper Nine Sects. This time, he couldn't let him get away no matter what. He had to dig out some more useful information.

"Can you tell me where the Ancient Sword Sect is? I really want to go and pay my respects to the elders of the Ancient Sword Sect."

"It's hard to say."

Ding Mao shook his head and didn't even dare to mention it.

"You can't talk about anything about the Upper Nine Sects. If I tell them here, they will immediately sense it. Then not only me but you will also be hunted down by them."

"You can't even say it?"

Chen Luo frowned. He didn't expect the Upper Nine Sects to be so domineering.

No wonder he couldn't find any clues before. Compared with ordinary Taoist sects like the Star Sect and the Silent Valley, the Upper Nine Sects were like sects on another level. Apart from a name, nothing else was known about them.

"They were the ones who created the Corpse Immortal Way, so they naturally hold secrets that others don't know." Ding Mao didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he simply mentioned it and said nothing more.

"What did you mean by calling me before?"

"Trying to trick a fool into going to jail for me."

Ding Mao was a bachelor. He patted the black sword next to him, and a large area of ​​dense array patterns immediately lit up on it.

These array patterns were stacked up, gathering together for no less than 200 layers. A large part of them was something that even Chen Luo had never seen before. There were more than a thousand brains on his body, but he didn't recognize any of them. It would be fine if ordinary brains didn't recognize them, but Brother Changqing and Brother Shijiexian didn't recognize them, so there was only one possibility. These array patterns were all created later, and they didn't belong to their era.

“Then I gave up.”

A guy who can't even cheat on a "great opportunity" and is so powerful, it's obvious that he's not someone you want to mess with.

They are all old monsters, so this can be judged.

However, Ding Mao did not expect Chen Luo to come back and catch the green-haired monster, which forced him to show up and talk to him. He was somewhat uncomfortable with being pulled out of the shadows as the mastermind.

"I'm an easy person to talk to. If you can add some more information, maybe I will agree." Chen Luo walked forward with a smile on his face. His attitude was like that of an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years. He was very enthusiastic.

"Before you say this, can you use your real body?" Ding Mao looked dimly.

This guy is too cowardly. He is unwilling to use his true body even when he has an absolute advantage. He really doesn't want to take any risks. If it weren't for the weak reputation of Taisu Sword Sect, he probably wouldn't have come in.

"I am the real body now."

Chen Luo grinned, revealing the puppet wood grain at the corners of his mouth.

The corner of Ding Mao's mouth twitched and he suppressed the last thought in his mind.

"Xiao Lu is of great use to me. I hope you can show me some mercy. You can put forward any conditions you want, as long as I can do it."

Ding Mao had been sealed here for more than 2,000 years. During these 2,000 years, he had used countless methods to catch a scapegoat. After that, he used the seal transfer method to gain the current mobility.

"No hurry, I still have a few questions."

Chen Luo very enthusiastically took out a set of tables and chairs from the cave gourd, and boiled tea on them, as if he was ready to have a long talk.

"Have you ever seen the Silent Taoist? This is the man." Chen Luo raised his hand and copied the face of the Silent Taoist he met at the Star Gate.

Chen Luo had used the Heavenly Secret Index to deduce the Dao of the Qionghua Sect before, and the clue he got at that time was in the cave of the Taisu Sword Sect. Now that he finally met a "local", he naturally had to ask him carefully.

“Yes.”

Ding Mao raised his eyelids, then drooped them again.

"If it weren't for this person, I would have escaped long ago."

Without waiting for Chen Luo to ask, Ding Mao told him everything related to the Silent Taoist.

More than 700 years ago, Silent Taoist came into this place by chance and reached a cooperation with Ding Mao. Ding Mao paid a lot, including the "Tao" of Qionghua Sect, but Silent Taoist, who got the benefits, turned his face and took away all the benefits. Before leaving, he also tricked Ding Mao once and strengthened the seal on the black sword.

There are more than two hundred layers of seals and restrictions, and the outermost twenty layers were left by the Silent Taoist.

"The trend in the world of immortal cultivation has changed. No one keeps their promises."

After Ding Mao finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he was missing the world of immortal cultivation recorded in ancient books.

People back then were so simple and honest, unlike now, where each one is more sinister than the other. Since he was sealed, he has only met three people in total. Except for the first one, 'Little Green', the remaining two are both sinister and cunning.

Not only did I not get cheated, but I was also cheated by them.

It is true that the world is becoming more corrupt and people’s hearts are no longer the same as they used to be.

Chen Luo picked up the teacup and took a sip. The course of events was definitely different from what Ding Mao said. With the character of this old man, he probably wanted to deceive Wusheng Daoist just like he deceived himself, and then he failed to deceive others and got cheated instead.

"Where did he go?"

Chen Luo can ignore other things, but he must take back the "Tao" of the Qionghua Sect.

Those are all his things!

"It went to the back of the passage."

Ding Mao suddenly showed the same smile as Chen Luo's. He was not afraid of Chen Luo's greed, but he was afraid that this kid would not play with him and would overturn the table as soon as he came up.

As long as there is greed, it can be exploited.

He is confident that as long as

Before Ding Mao finished thinking, he saw Chen Luo's palm coming from behind. The dark spiritual power gathered in his palm and grabbed his face. The huge force like a wild elephant imprisoned him and squeezed his head out of shape.

BANG!!

The head exploded, black liquid splattered all over the ground. The headless body rolled to the side like a ball, hitting a large rock, and the black liquid splashed out in a radial pattern.

Chen Luo shook off the black liquid in his hand, his face full of regret.

"I thought that Senior and I were close friends, but I didn't expect that Senior was so wary of me and even used his clone to talk to me."

He thought he could pick up a warm head, but he didn't expect this guy to be so cautious.

It's too early.

???

The black water twisted, and a figure re-condensed on the other side of the black sword.

The aura surged, and Ding Mao looked at the young man in front of him with a wary look.

This guy is even more shameless than Silent Taoist. He launches a sneak attack without any warning. He was drinking tea and chatting one second, and pinching someone's head the next.

"Is this how all your best friends use it?"

Glancing at the puppet wood grain on Chen Luo's face, Ding Zhao couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"What's behind the passage?"

There was no need to dwell on the details. Chen Luo thought he was much more generous than Ding Mao. Just like now, he did not ask Ding Mao why he used his clone to talk to him.

“A place where enlightenment can be achieved.”

Suppressing some of his emotions, Ding Zhao responded.

The cooperation must continue, otherwise he will really be trapped and die in this place.

"Tell me about it."

"Many of you have been there before."

Ding Mao stretched out his index finger and tapped the table. Black ink flowed out from his fingers and soon formed several portraits on the ground. There were five people, both men and women. Chen Luo took a quick look and saw three familiar faces.

Ge Xian, Wang Chengguan and his master Wuwei in Tiannan Territory.

The first two were fine, but Immortal Wuwei was really beyond his expectations. This master, the reincarnation of the Heart Demon Ancestor, had gone somewhere since the great changes in the Southern Region. Chen Luo had also been to the Heart Demon Sect in the upper realm, and obtained the corpse of his third brother's enemy there. But no matter how you look at it, the Heart Demon Sect in the upper realm can't raise a person like the Heart Demon Ancestor.

Using the inner demon as the method is completely different from the mainstream corpse immortal way in the current immortal cultivation world.

It’s different from the very beginning.

"These five people all came from my place. They should be very famous in the outside world of immortal cultivation."

"How long have you lived?"

Chen Luo suddenly asked.

The old man in front of him must have lived for more than three thousand years, otherwise he would not have known so many people, especially Ge Xian and Wang Chengguan. They were both powerful men from the Baixian Cave era, which was at least seven thousand years ago. Few cultivators of this era had even heard of their names, let alone their appearances.

"Not long, not long. About eight thousand years."

Ding Zhao narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face widened.

Fishing is like this, first you have to attract the attention of the 'fish', then you can catch the big fish.

"You are not human?"

A different aura emerged in Chen Luo's eyes, and he began to carefully observe the old man in front of him.

“Guaranteed authenticity.”

"So how did you do that?"

"If you return Xiaolu to me, I will tell you the secret." Ding Zhao picked up the teacup with a proud look on his face, put it to his lips and took a sip.

This is what he planned.

Guide the conversation and take the initiative.

BANG!!

There was a flash of black light, and Ding Zhao's head exploded again. His right hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, and black mud splashed all over the ground.

It’s actually a clone.

Chen Luo regretfully withdrew his hand. Just when Ding Zhao was drinking tea, several sensitive brains in the external brain captured the breath of the main body. Although there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Chen Luo still decisively chose to take action.

It's a pity that this old guy has always been on guard against him, and there is no trust between friends at all. (End of this chapter)
