The bottom core of the Demon Locking Tower.

In the extremely spacious hall stood huge sword handles, a rough count showed that there were about twenty-eight of them.

The hilts extended upward to the top of the tower, acting as supporting pillars. It was precisely because of these hilts that the dragon failed in its attempt to break free from the Demon Locking Tower and break it into pieces.

The longer blade pierced downwards into the center of the earth. More precisely, it pierced into the Fire Element Cave, charging the Demon Locking Tower with infinite Fire Element Qi.

An old man sat in the center of the hall surrounded by sword handles, suspended in the air with his eyes closed.

The old man has a white robe, white hair, white eyebrows and a white beard, and his eyebrows grow towards the middle, which is very impressive.

A short sword was placed on his knees, three feet and four inches long, clear and shiny.

This person is the long-browed immortal of the Shangqing Sect of Mount Shu, and that short sword is the famous Yin-Yang Microdust Sword.

The head of Yujing Sect walked over quickly, his robe rustling with his movements.

He came before the Long-browed Immortal, pinched his left hand with his sword finger, bowed his head, and then said concisely:

"The demon disaster has been quelled. Currently, there are 360 ​​Jiaolongs, 127 Chilongs, and 35 Qilongs that have escaped from the tower. Except for those killed by the Liangyi Microdust Sword, all have been tied up and taken back to the tower."

The headmaster of Yujing did not mention the matter of Yinglong, but changed the subject and continued:

"This disaster was caused by a conspiracy between spies within the sect and a great demon outside the sect."

"The spy in the sect was planted by the Donghuang Dao. He joined the sect under Chiyang Peak 127 years ago. He said he was from Yongzhou and had no father or mother. Combining the records of the deacon and the feedback from Chiyang Peak, the spy was indeed a mortal at the time."

The long-browed immortal remained motionless, having already anticipated this outcome.

The so-called spies are most afraid of this kind of white body, who has never practiced any other sects' methods. Except for the thoughts in his head, he is no different from ordinary disciples. If the other party's methods are more sophisticated, it is almost impossible to distinguish.

But this kind of spy also has a characteristic, that is, the incubation period is extremely long. For a mortal body, it takes at least two hundred years to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm, and the Foundation Establishment Realm is basically useless.

The reason for the disaster this time was not mainly due to the problem of spies, but the problem of external monsters.

"After investigation, the external demon is believed to be the Moon Fantasy Sky Fox of the Qingqiu clan." The head of Yujing continued, "The deacon of the Locking Demon Tower has discovered that one person is missing. He was probably attacked by the Moon Fantasy Sky Fox while on an official mission, and then the other party took his place and sneaked into the tower."

Yuehuan Sky Fox is at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and is also proficient in illusion. The deacon of the Demon Locking Tower is only at the True Person level, so it is common sense that he cannot defeat him.

"However, the day they infiltrated was when the Demon Locking Tower Trial was about to begin." The head of Yujing sneered, "After they entered the Demon Locking Tower, they discovered this and were caught off guard. They could only violently use their own hidden men to create internal strife in the trial team, forcing the team to end the trial early."

"The disciples who were killed during the trial were all killed by Moon Illusion Sky Fox. He used the information provided by spies to disguise himself as Seven Killers to interfere with the audience and incite panic. This has been confirmed."

"After the incident, both the Jindan team and the foundation-building team were forced to suspend their trials and evacuate the Demon Locking Tower..."

"That Moon-like Sky Fox," the Long-browed Immortal suddenly interrupted him, "Why did it sneak into the tower with such deliberate deliberation?"

The headmaster of Yujing smiled bitterly.

If we say that the other party wanted to help Yinglong escape from trouble, that would be nonsense.

After Yinglong escaped from the trap, he did not flee from Shushan immediately. Instead, he ran to the sky above the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain and confronted the Liangyi Microdust Array head-on. It was obvious that he had no intention of escaping at all.

The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal presided over the Yin-Yang Microdust Formation, but initially chose not to activate it, intending to confirm who the big demon that had sneaked into the Demon Locking Tower was.

However, Yinglong pretended to blow his breath at the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain, so the Immortal Changmei had to activate the Liangyi Microdust Formation in advance, seriously injuring Yinglong.

Yuehuan Sky Fox probably took this opportunity to escape.

As a result, why the other party sneaked into the Demon Locking Tower became a mystery that could not be verified...

"I dare to guess that there are probably two possibilities." Yujing Sect Master thought for a long time and said, "First, he wants to convey some kind of message to Yinglong."

"The second is to get some information from Yinglong."

"Hmm." The long-browed immortal also pondered.

Obviously, the Moon Fantasy Fox came empty-handed and left empty-handed, without taking any monsters with it, so it could only be some invisible thing.

For example, a secret that only Yinglong knows... or something.

"Let's leave this matter at that for now." The Immortal Long Eyebrows decided, "It's not appropriate for the sect to conduct a large-scale investigation, but you can choose someone you trust and keep a careful eye on it."

"During this battle, the external faction will pay more attention to our Shushan situation. Other spies in the faction will also be active in collecting intelligence. It is a good opportunity to kill a wave of them to serve as a warning to others."

"I understand." Master Yujing hesitated, "But there is one more thing."

"If this matter is not explained within the sect, many disciples will still think that it is the work of the Qingluo Peak sect..."

The long-browed immortal answered directly:

"It's okay, let them go."

The head of Yujing sighed in his heart.

The immortal still couldn't let go of Qi Sha Zhenren, after all, he was his most respected disciple...

However, forcing people in this way may not necessarily achieve the desired effect.

Master Yujing was well aware of Su Jian's stubborn temper.

If An Zhisu really gets hurt because of this one day, and Su Jian wants to avenge his daughter after coming out of seclusion, how can we not see that there is a factor of deliberate connivance by the immortals?

By then, he would probably rather betray the sect than return to the path of Forgetfulness.

Unfortunately, the struggle for the orthodox doctrine is the most ruthless.

As long as Su Jian chooses to return to the Forgetful Flow, everything will come to fruition, and the Qingluo Peak lineage will be safe.

But if Su Jian still insisted on practicing the Flow of Love, he would be a heretic and deserved to die.

This is probably what the immortal thought.

It’s just a pity for An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo. Although they stand out among the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage, their importance in the eyes of the immortals is probably not even one-tenth of Su Jian’s.

Let’s put aside the affairs of the Shushan high-level officials for now. After the Demon Locking Tower incident was settled, Ling Yunpo followed An Zhisu back to Qingluo Peak and came to the secret room in the mountain.

Ling Yunpo took out the golden mercury elixir and began to refine it.

In the world of cultivating immortals, although strange objects and methods that can improve the quality of elixirs are rare, they are not limited to just one or two.

Among them, the gold-mercury elixir is the best, saving a century of hard work, but unfortunately, only one spoonful can be drunk at most;

The Cloud Sea Sky Realm is considered the second tier. It takes half a century of hard training to advance, but of course it can only be used once.

It takes two hundred years to make a third-grade elixir, which means ninety years of skills.

Ling Yunpo did not plan to use the remaining 110 years of his life to fill them, but to go to Kunlun and Penglai to search.

He didn't believe that the Taiqing Sect and the Yuqing Temple, which were also the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religions, would not have mysterious methods to speed up the process of transformation!

Ling Yunpo was refining the golden mercury elixir over there, while An Zhisu was kneeling on a cushion over here, praying to his master Su Jian about this trip.

"Master, please allow me to do so."

"This trip to the Demon Locking Tower is full of twists and turns, and it's unpredictable."

"Fortunately, I was able to bring my junior brother back safely."

"The Frost Sword was damaged, but I... don't feel sorry. Saving my fellow apprentice brother is more important than anything else."

"Although... I lost my natal sword, fortunately I have the help of the Gold Mercury Pill Liquid and the Cloud Sea Sky Realm. I am confident that I can make a third-grade pill and will not bring shame to Master."

"I hope Master will come out of retreat soon. I bow my head in respect to this."

After muttering to herself, An Zhisu gently leaned down and put her forehead on the ground.

But there was a faint glimmer of tears in the corner of the eye.
