Chapter 342: One Screen is Stronger than Six Sections
All the disciples of the sect had evacuated. After Jian Yue returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the Eight-tailed Demon Bird was sleeping.
Jian Yue said: "City Lord, everything is ready."
The eight-tailed demon bird chirped, "Those monks are the most annoying. We can just chase them away next time."
Jian Yue consoled him, "Please forgive me for my mistakes."
The Eight-Tailed Demon Bird nodded and said, "That's true, Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, I'm going to sleep."
Jian Yue finally couldn't help himself, he reminded: "City Lord, do you know what those monks said about the controlled demon spirits?"
In fact, this is also the reason why Jian Yue must come back. Compared with these cultivators, the Eight-tailed Demon Bird, as a demon with profound cultivation and the lord of the demon city, must know something that Jian Yue does not know.
really.
The eight-tailed demon bird said lazily: "What else can it be? It's just the soul-controlling technique, a forbidden technique of the demon race in the early years. It was stolen by some monks. It's just some shameful means~"
Jian Yue's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he had found out something. He quickly asked, "City Lord, can you tell me in detail?"
The eight-tailed demon bird looked at him suspiciously. Jian Yue realized that he might have been a little too excited. He coughed and said, "I, I mean alive. City Lord, you see, the monks are eyeing our demons covetously. How can we not resist at all? As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle!"
The words fell.
The eight-tailed demon bird narrowed its eyes and said, "You are not a demon."
Jian Yue's whole body tensed up and he hunched his back. With his current strength, it would be difficult to deal with a big monster like this. Although the Eight-tailed Demon Bird looked very casual at ordinary times, if they really started fighting, he might not be its opponent.
And the next second.
The eight-tailed demon bird snorted and said, "But you know how to plan for our demon clan, and you can catch insects for me to eat. It seems that you are really loyal to me, so you can be called a garlic bird."
Jian Yue:?
Is it so casual, City Lord?
The audience in the anchor room were all happy:
"The last sentence is the key point."
“It’s packed.”
"After all, without Butler Wang, who will catch bugs for it to eat?"
The eight-tailed demon bird was also an honest bird. It said to Jian Yue, "This soul-controlling technique is a forbidden technique of the demons. We demons like to eat resentful spirits. After eating the resentment, we can digest it and only eat this. Ordinary people emit very little resentment, so the demons are souls and can travel around to find food. Soul-controlling techniques are different."
Jian Yue sat opposite the Eight-Tailed Demonic Bird and listened carefully: "Did the Soul Control Technique originate from the demon clan?"
The Eight-Tailed Demon Bird said: "On the contrary, this technique was invented by human cultivators. Resentment originally radiates outward, but the soul-controlling technique can lock the resentment in a person's body. The demon that absorbs it can then completely absorb all the spiritual energy and resentment from this person."
Jian Yue frowned: "It was invented by a monk. Can a monk eat the resentment of the demons?"
This is not common sense at all.
The Eight-Tailed Demonic Bird said, "Some demons were also human beings before they became demons!"
Jian Yue was struck by lightning.
For a moment, it was as if all the fog had cleared up in an instant, and the things that had been bothering him and that he couldn't figure out seemed to have suddenly been unraveled.
Cultivation of demons.
yes.
Practice the magic way.
Ordinary cultivators need thousands or even hundreds of years to achieve the Taoism, how can it be as fast as cultivating magic? People who cultivate magic, of course, have to absorb people's resentment and spiritual energy, and most of the new disciples have cultivation, and their souls are cleaner and easier to absorb.
only……
Is there anyone who can reach out to Lingyun Sect?
Jian thought more and more deeply. The disciple conference was handed over to him. All those people who had been invisible throughout the whole process suddenly jumped into his mind. He stood up suddenly and said, "City Lord, I have to leave for a while."
The eight-tailed demon bird asked, "Where are you going? Are you coming back to catch bugs for me?"
Jian Yue paused, then smiled at it and said, "Of course."
The eight-tailed demon bird said, "Since you are quite diligent in catching insects, I will give you something as salary."
Jian Yue was a little surprised. The eight-tailed demon bird plucked two feathers for him and said, "These are my demon feathers. If you encounter an evil cultivator from the demon clan, you will definitely be able to sense them."
When you get something.
The system panel appeared: "The progress of the dungeon plot is 75%. Congratulations to the tasker for unlocking the main line item of the Demon Clan and the gift of the Demon City. The tasker's progress is the highest in this dungeon. Please keep up the good work!!"
Jian Yue said: "Thank you, City Lord. I will repay you one day."
When he walked outside, he melted one of the feathers given to him by the eight-tailed demon bird, and he could feel an endless stream of power that lifted the curse that had caused him to be attacked by demons in the back mountain. His original appearance and strength were recovering.
The clear whistle sounded through the clouds.
A crane flew from a distance and landed in front of Jian Yue. Their eyes met. Jian Yue smiled and said, "Let's go back."
The fairy crane carried him back. It took only two days to return to Lingyun Sect for the fairy crane's tutorial. However, Jian Yue's thoughts had been sorted out little by little. When he returned to Lingyun Sect, it was already dark.
The disciples who guarded the mountain were surprised to see him.
Jian Yue said: "I just came back from my days of retreat and cultivation."
The disciple said, "Thank you for your hard work, Immortal Venerable."
Jian Yue waved his hand and said, "I'll go see the headmaster."
The sect leader was still in retreat. The place where he was in retreat was the North Mountain of Lingyun Sect, behind the snow-capped mountains. The sect leader had always been guarded by someone during his retreat. Jian Yue had never seen this guardian before. When he came here according to the original owner's memory, the guardian boys outside were all resting with their eyes closed. When they sensed someone coming, the two boys suddenly opened their eyes.
The white-haired boy asked, "Who is it?"
Jian Yue said, "It's me. There is chaos in both factions outside, so I want to report this to the Sect Master and ask for his decision."
The boy said, "The master is about to break through, so we cannot disturb him. Please forgive me, Immortal Yuehua."
Jian Yue took a tentative step forward, and the two boys immediately showed a somewhat nervous expression. Jian Yue laughed in his heart, but still stopped his movements. He said, "In that case, I will not disturb you anymore."
The boys breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Yue walked back. He had just let the people in when he transferred the two boys. When he came out, Tiantian and Gao Fei were waiting for him at the foot of the mountain soon.
Gao Fei played with the cards in his hand and said, "Well, I used the divination machine at the entrance of the cave, and there is no one inside."
His cards can predict any 100% multiple-choice question, and the answer given cannot be wrong, but it requires a very close distance to do it. Jian Yue went there this time to create opportunities and time for the two of them.
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Just as I expected, he is not in seclusion at all."
Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "This leader is probably someone who practices evil magic. These disciples are just his meals. He doesn't host the disciple meeting himself so that if something goes wrong, he can put the blame on you."
Jian Yue said: "Where do you think he will be?"
Gao Fei was a very cautious and experienced person. The three of them walked and thought. There was a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. Gao Fei said, "Could the man in black who played the flute be him?"
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Of course this is possible, but have you ever thought about this? He is the head of the Lingyun Sect and has countless rare treasures. If he wanted to cultivate, he could have used the rare treasures to quickly absorb the cultivation faster than the vengeful spirits. Why did he have to attack people?"
Gao Fei frowned and said, "Do you think his purpose might not just be for cultivation?"
Jian Yue said: "I just think it's a bit strange. The most important thing for us now is to find him. If we don't find him, he might continue to attack the disciples. Are there many casualties this time?"
"Quite a lot." Gao Fei said, "Disciples in all major villages and towns have been attacked. At least one-third of them have died. If it reaches two-thirds, our mission will have failed."
Tiantian reminded: "The third Disciple Competition will be held in seven days, and it will also be our last chance. If we still haven't caught the real culprit behind this Disciple Competition, then they may cause trouble in another competition. By then, the casualty ratio will definitely go up, and we will all fail the mission collectively."
In other words, there are only seven days left for this copy.
Jian Yue naturally realized the seriousness of the matter. He thought about it and then said, "Let's go to the headmaster's room and see if we can find some clues."
Tiantian said: "Let Li Meng go with us, she is very good at finding things!"
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Let's go tonight."
After everyone had discussed it, they separated.
Jian Yue prepared to go back to his own mountain to wash up. He returned in the evening. On the way back, he saw a familiar figure. It was Jiang Yu. He was wearing a disciple's uniform, which was already a formal disciple's uniform. Although he had not seen him for only a few days, he felt that the person in front of him seemed to have lost a lot of weight and was taller, but there was always a faint shadow between his eyebrows.
When the two met, those dull eyes instantly lit up.
Jiang Yu walked over quickly and asked, "Master, you're back?"
Jian Yue said: "Well, why are you here?"
Jiang Yu seemed to be at a loss for a moment, but he still replied: "Disciple is already a disciple of Yuehua Peak."
When he was closer, Jian Yue could see the purple circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he hadn't had enough rest recently. He looked much more haggard and must have suffered a great blow.
But he must make him strong, because in the future, there will be many responsibilities and difficulties waiting for this person, and all he can do is to try to make him strong before that.
Jian Yue said, "You are not my direct disciple yet. You should be assigned by my senior brother. What are you doing in front of me?"
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'm worried about Master..."
Jian Yue's eyebrows suddenly became fierce. He looked down at the person in front of him and said, "How dare you! When did you ever intervene in my affairs? You are just a little disciple. What qualifications do you have to ask about my affairs?"
Jiang Yu's face turned pale instantly. Jian Yue's words were like a sharp blade, piercing him and making him completely sober. His spine had always been straight, because he was a very proud person in his bones. Even the hardships of life and the ridicule of his fellow disciples did not bend the slightest. But with just two words from Jian Yue, his back slightly bent.
Even though it was just a tiny arc, it hurt Jian Yue's eyes.
The pain was so sharp that Jian Yue almost shed tears. He was like a person who swung his palm to smash a stone. The pain in his arm came before the sound of the stone breaking.
Jian Yue stepped forward and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
His steps were very fast, so fast as if he couldn't wait to leave the person in front of him. He would feel disgusted if he stayed with him for even one more second. But only he knew that he was just afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would reveal his flaws, and his eyes were red.
The snowstorm on the mountain has stopped.
But the wind was still biting. When Jian Yue returned to his residence and looked outside, he could still see the small black shadow on the hillside. It was particularly lonely between heaven and earth. His life was very difficult, and she could not shelter him from the wind and rain.
Jian Yue asked the system: "Will he live a better life after becoming the Demon Lord?"
The system said: "That is not within the scope of the answer."
Jian Yue said: "What can you answer?"
"If the tasker completes this task, many people may be saved." The system said: "That's for sure."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Then can I save the one I love?"
The system fell silent again.
Not long after Jian Yue returned to the hall, the eldest disciple came. As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Master, why did you come back just now!"
"I suddenly felt like I was about to break through." Jian Yue lied with his eyes wide open: "So I was in seclusion for a few days. How did you know I was back?"
The eldest disciple said quickly: "Master's white crane has returned, the whole sect has seen it!"
Jian Yue: “…”
There really is no privacy these days, this is the bad thing about being a monk!
Jian Yue coughed lightly and said, "Then I just happened to want to find you, how are you doing during this period?"
The eldest disciple had no doubts at all. He said, "Master, you know, the Demon Lord is simply too much of a bully. They are full of nonsense. We went out to fight them, but they produced a bunch of specious evidence. Master must find out their lies, expose their true colors, and report to the head of the sect!"
Jian Yue asked: "Did you go to attack the demons?"
The eldest disciple quickly said, "It was all Elder Chang Feng's idea. Master was away, so Elder Chang Feng responded to the call from all the major sects and took action."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "So that's how it is. I should tell the headmaster about it."
The eldest disciple said, "Only Master can make the decision on this matter. Isn't the Sect Master in seclusion?"
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, then said, "Send me all the books that have been collected in the sect these days, and I will think about it carefully."
The eldest disciple quickly said, "Yes, sir!"
He left.
The expression on Jian Yue's face became more and more solemn. There were too many rumors that the master was in seclusion, but how could his eldest disciple be sure that the master would remain in seclusion forever?
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked inside to wash up and change his clothes.
After night falls.
Jian Yue climbed out of the window and met up at the agreed location.
Tiantian and the others had been waiting for a while. Jian Yue said, "The headmaster's room is at the South Peak. There is only one boy guarding it. I asked for the sect's defense scroll at noon. There are almost no people at the South Peak. Let's go there now."
They reached the South Peak as quickly as possible.
The patrolling disciples of Nanfeng were really good. There was only a little boy guarding the door. Li Meng had been prepared for this. She took out a sleepy talisman paper, and the talisman paper floated over with sleeping powder. After a while, the little boy fell to the ground completely.
There is also a magic circle in the yard outside.
Jian Yue took out the Lingyun Sect's headmaster's token. The magic circle automatically extinguished after sensing the aura of the token. Jian Yue said, "Let's go."
Everyone entered the headmaster's room. This room was really full of all kinds of things. Jian Yue said, "Look for some letters and books and see if there are any clues."
Everyone searched separately, but found nothing.
Now I feel a little discouraged.
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "If the Sect Master really practices some evil arts, his aura will definitely be different from that of an orthodox cultivator. If he wants to hide it very well, he must spend more effort. There can't be no clues in his bedroom."
Tiantian accidentally sneezed and said, "Don't you think this room is a little chilly?"
This kid woke Jian Yue up.
Jian Yue took out the feather of the eight-tailed demon bird from his arms and threw it into the air. Everyone's eyes followed the feather, but they could only see the feather swaying in the air, but there was no reaction.
Everyone's heart sank again.
suddenly--
Li Meng said, "Is it possible that he is not in the house?"
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "If I were the head of the sect, I would also be afraid that someone would come to check my house. To prevent being found, I would build this place far away from me, but not too far away."
The words fell.
Everyone looked outside at the little house where the boy lived!!
Everyone walked outside. After opening the boy's hut, Feather really responded. Jian Yue pointed to the bookshelf: "Behind."
Everyone worked together to move the cabinet away. As the cabinet was moved away, they could finally see a hidden passage behind the wall. Tiantian was good at finding this kind of mechanism. She fumbled for a long time and finally found the button. When she opened it, there was a secret passage, and it was pitch black inside.
Gao Fei exchanged for a flashlight, and the light immediately illuminated the secret passage. He could see the strange patterns on the walls around the secret passage, which were so shocking that it made his heart tremble.
Jian Yue said: "I will go in front and leave one person outside."
Gao Fei said, "Then I will stay outside. Li Meng and Tian Tian will go in with you. This way it will be easier to respond. You guys take the token Xiao Li gave you. I will press it if there is any emergency."
Jian Yue nodded, and they went in together. The secret passage ended after about ten meters. It was a small room. Everyone was stunned when they entered the room.
Tiantian stared at the wall with eyes wide open, stuttering: "What...what...what is this..."
What you can see are countless, densely packed human skins on the walls. This is Lingyun Sect, the bright and majestic first sect that punishes evil and promotes good. However, the secret room of the sect leader contains these things.
Jian Yue also frowned and said, "See if there is anything else."
They searched for a long time and found that the room was filled with all kinds of props, all of which were used to do bloody things, as if they had entered a execution ground.
Jian Yue looked for a long time and was about to give up, but suddenly he found a hidden compartment in the innermost part of the cabinet. He tried to check it, but he didn't hold out any hope. However, he heard a click and the compartment made a sound.
There is a book inside the wall.
Others didn't know, but Jian Yue recognized it. This was the second volume of the book that he had not finished reading in the library!
Jian Yue's eyes lit up and he quickly took out the book, but the token beside him began to vibrate.
Tiantian said quickly: "There's something going on outside, let's get out!"
Gao Fei would not press the token unless it was urgent. Jian Yue said without hesitation: "Let's go!"
Tiantian's teleportation is still there, but it is not needed for the time being unless it is the most urgent situation. Besides, it is impossible to leave Gao Fei outside, so everyone should retreat outside first and then act according to circumstances.
The group headed outside and almost reached the outside.
Gao Fei quickly said: "Someone is coming."
Jian Yue said: "Hold your breath and hide first. There is a big screen inside. Hide under the bed behind the screen first."
The bed was very big and could accommodate four people curled up in it. The footsteps outside were getting closer. Just as everyone hid, someone came in. The sound of boots stepping on the ground was very clear.
Tiantian looked at Jian Yue, asking with her eyes who was coming?
Jian Yue shook his head, he didn't know.
The sound of footsteps slowly approached in the silent room, and then in the moonlight, Jian Yue could see clearly that it was his eldest disciple!
The eldest disciple was searching all over the house, but no one knew what he was looking for. However, after a while, he walked behind the bookshelf, which was the darkroom. Just as he was about to find a way to open the darkroom, he heard footsteps in the yard again!
The eldest disciple was a little panicked at this moment. He quickly looked for a place to hide, then ran under the bed behind the screen and prepared to crawl in!
The person under the bed looked into each other's eyes.
Everyone: “…”
The eldest disciple didn't have time to be shocked because the footsteps in the yard were getting closer!
He squeezed in and everyone looked outside. There were footsteps coming from the yard outside. They also wandered around outside and finally entered the room.
As the boots came closer, Jian Yue recognized them. These boots belonged to Elder Chang Feng!
Elder Chang Feng also began to wander around in the house, and he soon discovered that there was something wrong with the secret door. Just as he was about to go in, footsteps were heard from the yard outside!
Everyone's expression tensed.
I thought it was another disciple of the sect, but at this moment, a voice came from the courtyard outside. It was a deep and old voice: "Little boy, why are you sleeping here?"
The child's voice was filled with pleading: "Master! Master, you have come back from seclusion. This disciple did not mean it!"
Everyone in the room became alert for a moment.
Master! The Master has come out of seclusion! How could this happen?!
Obviously, Elder Chang Feng was also stunned. He subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide. Although there were many places outside, Elder Chang Feng felt restless and ran straight to the bed behind the screen. However, the moment he bent down, he made eye contact with everyone inside.
Everyone: “…”
Elder Chang Feng said with shaking hands in shock: "You..."
The head of the sect in the courtyard immediately asked, "Why are you sleeping here? Is there someone in the courtyard? Come with me to check it out!"
Next second.
The footsteps were heading towards the door. If he came in, everyone would be discovered, and they would all be finished!!!
