Chapter 220 Infiltrating Lingji Sect
Apart from the Lingji Sect, there is no other force in the Yinwu Mountains.
Su Qingwu gathered information through various channels and approached this place ten days later.
Then he activated the invisibility talisman, concealed his body, and quietly sneaked into the mountains.
There is a forest here that never sees the sun all year round. The trees are distorted in shape and appear gray and black overall. The ground is covered with moss and fallen leaves, giving off a damp, slightly moldy smell of decay.
Swamps can be seen everywhere, and ordinary people who come here will fall into them if they are not careful.
In the dark jungle, blood bats with red eyes can be seen everywhere.
According to the information gathered in the past few days, these were all raised by the monks of the Lingji Sect to monitor the outside world for them.
Once someone breaks in, the system will sound the alarm immediately.
Continue walking inside and you will see some skeleton soldiers.
This is made from the bones of dead monsters or humans, using secret techniques and specific materials.
There was a faint green flame burning in his eye sockets, and when he walked in the jungle, he could often hear the creaking sound of bones moving.
Skeleton soldiers can continuously absorb Yin energy to increase their own strength.
If a stranger breaks in and hears the blood bats' warning, they will immediately attack the intruder.
Even if the skeleton is broken up, as long as it has not turned into ashes, it will automatically reassemble and restore under the action of Yin Qi.
Su Qingwu recalled the relevant information he had found out and walked forward slowly without making any sound.
Occasionally, she met a few monks from the Lingji Sect who gathered together to refine corpses and make puppets, but she did not take action.
The purpose of this trip was clear, which was to find out how many people in this sect knew that the Qiankun Bottle was in her hands, and then make a detailed plan to eliminate them one by one.
Before that, she would not act rashly.
The Divine Concealment Talisman is not omnipotent. Although it is of the highest quality, it is only at the fourth level. If it encounters the Divine Transformation and Return to Void of this sect, there is a certain possibility of being exposed.
The reason why Su Qingwu dared to act was because Kong Jiu had taught him a secret method in the past few days.
Previously, with the help of Hongyu, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao in Yuehua Realm, she killed the Demon Saint and obtained a seventh-level demon pill.
The Peacock Clan has a technique called Tianfan Shadow Transformation in their inherited memories. After performing it, one can completely hide the body in the void and avoid detection by peers.
However, there is a limitation in the use of this technique, and that is that it must be performed with the help of a demon pill.
The Peacock Clan can condense a demon pill when they reach the third level or above. The demon beasts that can practice this method will naturally be very powerful, so for this clan, this restriction is equivalent to non-existence.
But if it is a monk, it is obviously a different matter.
The seventh level demon pill is of inestimable value.
Su Qingwu spent six full days refining it and imprinting a spiritual mark on it.
In this way, you can use this demon pill to perform the Tianfan Shadow Technique.
Because it is at the seventh level, after using it, no one in this world will be able to detect her whereabouts. However, this method consumes a lot of spiritual energy, so it is not in use at the moment.
It will only be used when we get close to the core base of Lingji Sect.
......
An hour later, Su Qingwu passed through a large tract of dense forest, avoided four waves of patrolling guards, and arrived at the mountain gate of Lingji Sect.
The winding stone steps gradually come into view. Next to the giant hollow stone door stands a ferocious statue of the ferocious beast Taotie.
Su Qingwu mastered the secret technique to destroy the golden pupil and saw at a glance that the stone gate was covered with multiple restrictions.
It seems that you can roam freely, but in fact it contains murderous intentions.
She stayed here for about half a cup of tea. Two disciples of the Lingji Sect came from afar, talking and laughing. When they approached the mountain gate, a red light lit up on each of the identity cards hanging on their waists.
The next moment, the restrictions on the stone door slowly opened.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Qingwu followed them and successfully entered the sect's residence.
Turning back, I found that the ban had been closed again.
He stayed where he was and observed for a while, confirming that the disciples of this sect all walked along specific routes.
She couldn't help but recall the news she had heard.
There are many traps inside the Lingji Sect's mountain gate.
In the past, there were Taoist disciples who tried to sneak in, but they made a wrong step and triggered multiple mechanisms. After being caught, their identities were exposed and they were directly refined into living puppets.
The Taoist sect that the disciple belonged to was not as powerful as the Lingji Sect, and because of this incident, his master's sect was destroyed, which caused quite a stir at the time...
Su Qingwu collected his thoughts and looked at the spot for a long time, writing down all the routes that people had walked.
There are nearly a hundred peaks of various sizes in the Yinwu Mountains, and a total of ninety-six of them are located inside the Lingji Sect's mountain gate.
This scale is considered to be of upper level among the third-grade forces.
The highest peak among the Ninety-Six Peaks is where the sect leader Liu San retreats.
In addition, arranged according to the size of the mountains, from high to low, the top five are all the places where the Elder Fanxu of the Lingji Sect sits.
The remaining ninety peaks now each have a deity in charge.
The prohibitions imposed by each peak are all of the kind involving killing.
The sect's soul hall is located at the second highest peak.
For Su Qingwu, if he wants to take action and eliminate the enemies who know the truth one by one, the Soul Palace will also be a big problem.
When a high-ranking official falls, his soul lamp goes out, and the disciples guarding the Soul Palace must know about it.
By then, as long as the other party makes it public, even if she can continue to hide, her subsequent actions will inevitably be full of difficulties.
Therefore, she planned to go to the second peak first to find out the situation of the Soul Palace before starting the next plan.
Whenever he encountered any restrictions along the way, he would wait patiently.
If a monk from this sect passes by, you must seize the opportunity and follow him through the corresponding restrictions.
This method is very time-consuming, but it is safe.
Half a day passed like this, and Su Qingwu successfully sneaked into the second peak of Lingji Sect.
Following the previous method, we approached the Soul Palace step by step.
When the distance is about right, secretly use the Tianfan Shadow Technique to make sure no one notices.
The entire Soul Palace has a total of six layers of forbidden cages.
The innermost layer is for defense, and the remaining five layers are for attack.
If you approach without opening the forbidden token, you will basically die if you are below the level of Spirit Transformation.
On weekdays, there are very few disciples from the Lingji Sect coming here, and the Soul Palace keeps its doors closed all year round.
However, recently, many monks of this sect who were training outside have died frequently, so in the past few days, there are relatively more people entering and leaving the Soul Palace.
Su Qingwu waited for nearly half an hour, and when he saw someone appear, he immediately followed.
The sixth-level restriction will sense the presence of the token and open in about ten breaths.
Time is very tight, if we slow down a little, we will not be able to catch up.
She followed the person and entered the hall dangerously before the ban was closed.
At a glance, there are nearly two thousand soul lamps.
According to the information previously gathered, all cultivators at the Jindan stage and above have soul lamps set up in their soul palaces.
This can also be used to determine the total number of people above this level.
Su Qingwu looked carefully and found that there was a person's name engraved on the lamp holder of each soul lamp.
The overall arrangement is in a staircase, with the number of lamps decreasing as you go up.
The cup at the top is engraved with the name of Liu San, the leader of Lingji Sect.
There are a total of six soul lamps on the second layer, one of which is mostly cracked, with the words "Fang He" engraved on it. It is the enemy that was included in the Nine-Capture Soul-Snatching Scroll that year.
From this, we can infer that the five soul lamps listed alongside it belong to the five returning void masters of the Lingji Sect.
Looking at the current situation, Su Qingwu suddenly came up with an idea.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the reason why various forces strictly guard the Soul Palace is because the Soul Lamps are all ignited with the blood of the heart, and are closely related to the Soul Master and have an impact on each other.
Now that she is here, can she directly use these soul lamps to kill the enemy?
