"Is this the residence of the Qigong cultivator?"
The Lord of Luoyu City looked at the secluded courtyard hundreds of meters away, and looked indifferently at the two kneeling figures on the ground.
The two people kneeling on the ground were Miao Yu, who had had contact with Shen Yuan before, and the broker who sold the courtyard.
Miao Yu was just an ordinary person, and Ya Ren had only just entered the realm of refining essence. Among the people they usually came into contact with, Qi-refining cultivators were already the best. How could they have ever seen a scene like this?
The great monk who had attained the state of incarnation and was in charge of seven cities within a thousand miles stood in the sky, and below him were dozens of rare and common Qi-refining monks.
All eyes were focused on the two of them, and they immediately broke into a sweat and quickly responded:
"Your Excellency the City Lord, the garden he bought is right here."
The Lord of Luoyu City nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his cold face.
Just recently, after confirming that the murderer who killed the three people had most likely taken away the time treasure, several great monks who had reached the state of spiritual transformation present mobilized forces from all sides to search for him.
Although there were many practitioners heading to the land of strange phenomena, Shen Yuan's action of going upstream to Luoyu City alone still attracted the attention of many practitioners. After a brief search, they confirmed that Shen Yuan had settled in Luoyu City.
With the help of this clue, they were able to find Miao Yu and the broker and discovered Shen Yuan's residence.
Feeling a little relieved, Lord Luoyu of Luoyu City looked at a Qi-cultivating cultivator beside him.
"How's the investigation going?"
The Qigong cultivator said respectfully:
“My Lord City Lord, according to the residents around here, the monk has been staying indoors ever since he moved into this courtyard.
Combined with the traces found in the previous search, it is very likely that the other party was seriously injured by the strange phenomenon, and the seclusion during these days is to recover from the injury. "
Before the City Lord Luoyu could speak, another Divine Transformation cultivator beside him sneered:
"Capturing a mere Qi training cultivator is easy, even if he is not injured."
"The only thing we need to worry about is the rare treasures that may appear in his hands. However, the rarer the treasure, the more difficult it is to refine. A Qi training cultivator is not capable of controlling the treasure in such a short time."
Upon hearing this, Lord Luoyu City spoke to the practitioners present:
“I am naturally very grateful to you for helping me search for the thief who stole the Time Treasure. I will present a generous gift to everyone present later.
As for the rest, it is my Luoyu City's private matter, so please step aside for a moment."
As the words fell, accompanied by a flash of spiritual light, everyone felt that a huge formation was quietly rising in the entire Luoyu City, and invisible pressure fell on everyone's heart.
This is the city defense formation established by the Dayin Dynasty with the people of Dawn as its foundation. Cities like Luoyu City are spread throughout Dayin.
The seemingly huge formation in the city is actually just a formation node of the real humanitarian formation. Countless formations in Dayin are connected to each other, outlining a magnificent humanitarian formation covering the entire territory of Dayin.
Even if it is just a node, it is ultimately part of the humanitarian formation.
Being inside the formation, Lord Luoyu City can easily suppress most cultivators below the level of spirit refining.
"Lord Luoyu, how dare you!"
"treachery!"
"Do you want to keep the time treasure for yourself?"
The Lord of Luoyu City glanced at everyone indifferently and said proudly:
"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to keep the time treasure for myself.
I have already reported this matter to Huayu Mountain God. This treasure will be presented to Donghuang God as a sacred object for the Donghuang Grand Sacrifice. This treasure is already in the pocket of the Donghuang God System."
“I know that behind you may be a great figure from the Dayin Dynasty, an immortal family, or a world-famous paradise.
You seek the rare treasure of time, and also want to present this treasure to the big man behind it.
But this is Donghuang Territory, everything in Donghuang Territory belongs to Donghuang God System, please take a break before Huayu Mountain God arrives!"
The Lord of Luoyu City waved his long sleeves, and many ghost soldiers and ghosts in the city appeared. The City God's Dharma body presided over the formation to suppress the great monks from other cities.
The Lord of Luoyu City turned around and looked towards the secluded courtyard, then slowly stretched out his right hand.
At this moment, a frivolous voice suddenly sounded.
“The treasures of heaven and earth belong to those with virtue. Even the Great Yin Dynasty would not dare to claim that the rare treasures born in the Great Yin territory are its own.
When did the Donghuang God System become so courageous? "
The expression of the Lord of Luoyu City froze, and he immediately looked up at the sky nervously.
I saw a young monk wearing golden robes and holding a golden mirror walking in the city protection formation, his sleeves fluttering as if he was completely oblivious to the formation.
If one could use their spiritual eyes to observe, they would find that the young monk holding the magic mirror was surrounded by wisps of the sect's luck, isolating him from the influence of the city defense formation.
"Golden robes, golden mirror! You are the Jinhua Cave Yuan Tianzhen Chuan, one of the thirty-six caves!"
The expression of Luoyu City Lord changed drastically and he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Not only Lord Luoyu, but even the other city lords were shocked, and there was a bit of awe in their eyes when they looked at the young monk.
The ten holy places of the Xuanhuang Realm and the thirty-six holy places of the caves all have the Taoist tradition inherited from the upper realm. There are real immortals in the world, and their influence is no longer limited to the Xuanhuang Realm.
Many cave-heaven holy places conquered many middle thousand and small thousand worlds and cultivated these worlds into affiliated worlds of their sects. Many geniuses within their sects were selected from these affiliated worlds.
Such a behemoth must be given enough respect even by the Donghuang pantheon.
As the core figures of the sect, true disciples practice the top-level skills and magical powers in the cave heaven. In the future, they are expected to be promoted to the level of True Spirit Refiner or even higher. They are the reserve candidates for the sect's top leaders.
Most of the city lords in these remote places practiced low-level skills. Whether in terms of status or cultivation strength, they were far inferior to the one in front of them who was a true disciple of the Cave Heaven.
The face of Luoyu City Lord turned pale. The disciple of Jinhua Dongyuantian turned the Golden Sun Treasure Mirror in his hand. Under the shining golden light, the suppression of the city protection formation on the city lord in the Spirit Transformation Realm was lifted.
"The information you conveyed is very valuable. After this matter is concluded, the sect's Foreign Affairs Hall will reward you."
The city lord of the Transformation Realm showed surprise and said, "Thank you very much for Jiang Yan's true teachings!"
Jiang Yan waved his hand, then looked at Luoyu City Lord.
"This place belongs to me, you don't have any objections, right?"
The face of the Lord of Luoyu City turned red. He had already informed the God of Huayu Mountain. If the other party knew that the time treasure was taken away by Dongtian Zhenchuan after arriving in Luoyu City, he would definitely be punished.
But at the moment, the city defense formation was unable to suppress the other party. In terms of strength alone, he was far inferior to Dongtian Zhenchuan. He was in a dilemma for a moment and had to bite the bullet and speak:
"This time treasure has been designated by Huayu Mountain God as a sacred object for the Donghuang Grand Ceremony. If Jiang Zhenchuan takes it away, I'm afraid that Donghuang God will be dissatisfied."
Jiang Yan curled his lips, not paying any attention to what Lord Luoyu said.
He really couldn't afford to offend Donghuang Divine Lord, but Jinhua Dongyuantian would not care about Donghuang Divine Lord.
The preciousness of the time treasure was far beyond imagination. If they could bring it back to the sect, they would not hesitate to make Jinhua Dongyuantian and Donghuang Divine Lord hostile to each other. As everyone was watching, Jiang Yan arrived in front of the courtyard and was about to step into it, but the next moment his movement paused slightly.
The treasure-hunting rat hiding in his arms was now trembling wildly, as if there was some terrifying creature in that secluded courtyard.
Jiang Yan was shocked. The treasure-hunting rat in his arms had the blood of the Five Blessed Rats from the upper realm and could distinguish between good and evil.
This is a precious spiritual beast specially sent by the sect to search for traces of rare treasures. Its status in the sect may not be much lower than that of him, a true disciple.
Such a rare and exotic beast was so afraid of the things in the courtyard at this moment. This made Jiang Yan feel a little more cautious and hesitant about whether he should step into the courtyard.
And at this moment, a powerful will like the rising sun instantly enveloped the entire Luoyu City, and then a god surrounded by incense stepped into the void and arrived in Luoyu City.
Jiang Yan's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that it was the Huayu Mountain God, who was known as the Lord of Huayu County, who had arrived.
Jiang Yan subconsciously reached for a precious communication talisman in his arms. As long as he used the communication talisman, the sect's real person would arrive within an incense stick of time. This was also the reason why he could act without any worries.
The Soul Refining Master of the blessed land possesses the sect's luck and is too powerful. If he approaches the city covered by the Dayin humanity, it will cause unusual movements in the humanity formation.
Jinhua Dong Yuantian sent Jiang Yan to Luoyu City in order to cover up his tracks.
However, when the horrific crisis in that courtyard flashed through Jiang Yan's mind, Jiang Yan immediately put aside the thought and withdrew from the courtyard under the pressure of Huayu Mountain God.
"Jinhua Dongyuantian has crossed the line!"
The God of Huayu Mountain looked down at Jiang Yan from a high position and spoke in a cold voice.
As for the other people present except Jiang Yan, Huayu Mountain God didn't even look at them.
Jiang Yan looked at Huayu Mountain God with hatred, and said unwillingly:
"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. This time, your Donghuang God System won."
After saying this, he took the initiative to step back and watched everything coldly.
The retreat of Dongtian Zhenchuan made Huayu Mountain God smile a little.
The true teachings are the foundation of a sect. Before Jiang Yan took the initiative, he could not kill a true teaching. It would naturally be a good thing for the other party to take the initiative to retreat.
He also had a general understanding of what happened in Luoyu City and the details of the murderer who stole the time treasure.
Taking a step forward, the Yangshen Dharma Image, which looked like the scorching sun, stretched out a huge palm and fell towards the courtyard.
The huge palm covered half of the city, and the courtyard seemed like an insignificant speck of dust. The Dharmadhatu's hand turned over and grasped towards the courtyard.
However, the next moment, the originally confident Huayu Mountain God froze in his tracks.
The giant hand of the Yangshen Dharma Image easily passed through the courtyard and was unable to touch the yard at all.
"How is that possible?"
A ray of divine light that could destroy evil fell towards the courtyard, still easily penetrating it and tearing apart large tracts of land.
Afterwards, all kinds of magical powers and spells fell like rain, but no matter how magical they were, none of them could enter the courtyard.
"What on earth is this?"
Huayu Mountain God showed shock on his face. The courtyard was right there. He could see the existence of the courtyard both with his divine sense and his sight, but he could not touch it. This made him feel a little fearful.
Looking at the Lord of Luoyu City, Huayu Mountain God pressed him:
"Is he really only at the Qi Refining Stage?"
"Your Excellency the Mountain God, whether it is the use of Yuan Qi to speed up the journey or the traces of killing other cultivators, these are all the means of the Qi training realm."
The Lord of Luoyu City was already in a panic at this moment. If something went wrong with such important information, his original great achievement might very likely turn into a crime.
Thoughts were running fast in his mind, and the eyes of the City Lord Luoyu lit up and he said quickly:
"It's a rare treasure! It must be that rare treasure that created what we see now."
“That strange treasure was born from the turbulence of time and space. Although it is mainly based on time power, some of its spatial characteristics are also completely normal.
That abominable thief stole the Time Treasure and barely refined part of it before setting up this space barrier."
The words of Lord Luoyu City were well-reasoned and won the approval of most people present. Even the expression of Huayu Mountain God eased slightly.
Only Jiang Yan felt the treasure-hunting rat's trembling fear, and silently denied it in his heart:
"That can't be the case!"
After figuring out the problem, thoughts surged in Huayu Mountain God's mind, and then he gritted his teeth and took out a talisman under the gaze of everyone.
"A sixth-level Void-Breaking Talisman, your Donghuang God System is truly a big deal!"
Jiang Yan looked at the talisman in surprise. You know, there are very few people in the Xuanhuang Realm who can draw this level of Void-Breaking Talisman, and most of them are from Maoshan, which is known as the number one blessed land.
The sixth-level Void-Breaking Talisman can be used to tear apart the barrier of the small world. The value of a sixth-level Void-Breaking Talisman is almost equivalent to that of a low-grade spiritual treasure, which is enough to show its preciousness.
Huayu Mountain God endured the pain and activated the talisman. The next moment, the space around the courtyard began to collapse, and a formation barrier engraved in the space appeared.
Although the spatial means were sophisticated, they were completely useless under the sixth-order Void-Breaking Talisman. The spatial formation was completely torn apart, revealing the courtyard inside.
At this moment, Huayu Mountain God immediately sensed the aura in the courtyard.
The other party’s cultivation level cannot be seen through, but since there is no Yang Shen Dharma Image aura revealed, he must be a cultivator below the Spirit Refining Realm.
With some anger in his heart over the consumption of the sixth-rank Void-Breaking Talisman, the God of Huayu Mountain used the Yangshen Dharmakaya to lower his giant hand once again.
"Die, you shameless thief!"
Everything in the courtyard seemed to have collapsed completely, and the giant hand of the Dharmadhatu almost fell in front of Shen Yuan.
The next moment, time seemed to stand still, and Shen Yuan, who was immersed in cultivation, slowly opened his eyes.
Tiangang: Return wind and fire!
Time began to flow backwards, and the giant hand of the Dharmadhatu, which was so close, began to retreat outside the courtyard at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The collapsed building fragments rose from the ruins, the destroyed houses began to recover, and even the space torn apart by the sixth-level Void-Breaking Talisman was healed at this moment.
Everything seemed to have returned to the original starting point, and Huayu Mountain God looked at the scene in front of him with shock.
"How."
As soon as a word came out of his mouth, a white light suddenly appeared in the sky and earth, and then time passed and the sun and moon replaced each other, and strange phenomena appeared.
A sword seemed to come from a distant time and space. The huge image of the Yang God was easily shattered by a ray of sword light, and the body of the god was broken into pieces.
Jiang Yan on the side stared at the sword in a daze. The scene he witnessed three years ago reappeared in his mind, and a name came out of his mouth subconsciously.
"Luoyun Daozi!"
