Chapter 254: Climbing the Broken Spirit Cliff Again
After reuniting with Ding Lan, Xu Qiuqian told her everything she knew and her guesses.
Ding Lan didn't expect Xu Qiuqian to have found out so much, and was a little surprised.
"According to what you said, this should be an evil cultivator." Ding Lan murmured.
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
"I just don't know what this evil cultivator wants to do with these mortals' lives?"
Ding Lan shook her head: "They are not mortals."
"Not a mortal?" Xu Qiuqian was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"The fifty or so people who were lost all had spiritual roots, but most of them had five spiritual roots, four spiritual roots, or even fake spiritual roots."
I see.
This way, you can figure it out.
The evil cultivators use these mortals with spiritual roots to practice. After all, the evil cultivators have always used every possible means of practice, and this kind of method is just a piece of cake for them.
"But why didn't this evil cultivator just kill all the mortals in the village? Wouldn't that be easier?"
Xu Qiuqian thought about it.
"Is it possible that his current ability can only control one person?"
"That makes sense." Ding Lan felt somewhat appreciative.
This Yuan Yan looks frivolous, but he is quite serious in doing things. It can also be seen that he is meticulous and his guesses are all well-founded.
Seeing that the two of them were talking back and forth and ignoring her, Zhao Dongyue couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Of course, we need to find that evil cultivator and bring him back to the sect."
Zhao Dongyue was puzzled: "But we don't know where he is hiding. Do we have to wait until tonight?"
"No need. Didn't Huihui tell me before? To the west, if we search in that direction, we should be able to find some clues."
After that, Ding Lan said to Zhao Dongyue: "Junior Sister Dongyue, we don't know what level of cultivation that evil cultivator will have, or what his abilities are. You should stay here first, and we will come back to find you after we catch him."
"Can I go with you?" Zhao Dongyue looked hesitant.
"Everyone always protected me like this when we went out before, but I also want to try to go with you..."
Ding Lan hesitated a little: "But Master Hua Cen said that you can't go with me in this dangerous situation. If you get hurt, I won't be able to explain to her."
Xu Qiuqian felt suffocated when she heard this.
If it were her, she would rather not have the love that was protected to this extent.
"I won't tell Mom because you gave me permission. Senior Sister Ding Lan, please, just take me with you. I promise not to cause any trouble for you!"
Ding Lan couldn't stand Zhao Dongyue's coquettishness.
Finally, he could only helplessly say: "Okay, but you must follow me closely. If you encounter danger, run as far as you can. Do you understand?"
Zhao Dongyue was extremely excited.
"I know, I know. Don't worry, Senior Sister Ding Lan! Don't worry, A Yan, I will never cause any trouble for you!"
After the discussion, the three of them headed west.
After walking a few steps, Chen Mohan, who said he was going back to Qingyu Sect, actually came back with a serious expression.
"I just found an evil cultivator in the west."
"Aren't you going back?"
"I was originally planning to go back, but I found something strange, so I thought about going over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be the residence of the evil cultivator. The evil cultivator ran away when he saw me."
"Where did he run to? Why didn't you catch him?" Ding Lan couldn't help but get angry when she heard that.
"He ran so fast that I only saw him running southwest."
Ding Lan was really impressed by Chen Mohan. He not only didn't chase after the person who ran away, but also came back to tell them.
"I'll go after you."
She flew up on her sword, and when she thought of something, she looked at Xu Qiuqian.
"Do you want to come?"
Xu Qiuqian was stunned. She didn't expect Ding Lan to ask her.
After thinking about it, he nodded.
"Come up." Ding Lan stretched out her hand towards Xu Qiuqian.
Xu Qiuqian did not hesitate.
Seeing the two of them leave, Zhao Dongyue also hurriedly said: "And me!"
But Ding Lan and Xu Qiuqian had already flown away.
Zhao Dongyue had no choice but to look at Chen Mohan.
"Brother Mo Han, can you take me with you?" she asked expectantly.
"No, it's too dangerous. You stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't worry, I will be back soon."
After saying that, regardless of whether Zhao Dongyue agreed or not, he flew away on his sword towards Xu Qiuqian and the others, leaving Zhao Dongyue alone.
Zhao Dongyue bit her lip as she watched Chen Mohan disappear.
The resentment and depression in his eyes poured out.
Why? Why why why why! Why can't he take her with him? She is obviously a disciple of the Qingyu Sect and a cultivator, why do they treat her like fragile glass? She also wants to be able to stand on her own and no longer rely on others...
The other side.
Heading towards the southwest, Xu Qiuqian spread out his spiritual sense to search.
She suddenly spotted a trace of blood.
"there!"
Ding Lan went over as she was told, and after coming down, she checked around.
"This blood is still fresh, so he shouldn't have run far. Chase him."
Following the trail of blood, the two men chased in the southwest direction.
However, the more they chased, the more familiar the surrounding scene seemed to them.
When they chased them to the top of the cliff, they realized that they had come to the Broken Spirit Cliff again! "How could the evil cultivators escape here? This is the Broken Spirit Cliff." Ding Lan frowned and said in a deep voice.
Xu Qiuqian looked at Ding Lan.
"You know this place?"
"Well, this is the Broken Spirit Cliff. See what's ahead? If you fall off the Broken Spirit Cliff, no one can come up alive."
Not far from the Broken Soul Cliff, there is a Soul Devouring Array, also called the Soul Vein Destroying Array, because this Soul Devouring Array not only devours the spiritual energy in the body of the person in the array, but also destroys the spiritual veins.
Xu Qiuqian's spiritual vein was destroyed here.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look again.
She remembered that this formation was originally set up by a seventh-grade formation master in the pavilion, but it was destroyed by Zhao Dongyue with violence. Now the formation probably cannot be activated.
"Xu Qiuqian's spiritual vein was destroyed here." Xu Qiuqian suddenly spoke.
Ding Lan turned around and faced Xu Qiuqian.
"You know her? What's your relationship with her?"
Xu Qiuqian thought, it would be better to reveal his identity and get to the bottom of the matter.
At this moment, she felt that fatal danger was approaching, and she subconsciously fell to the ground.
A strong wind swept past and she barely avoided it, but Ding Lan was not so lucky. She didn't have time to react and was swept down the Broken Spirit Cliff by the strong wind.
"careful!"
Xu Qiuqian spoke subconsciously.
Fortunately, Ding Lan reacted quickly, used his magic weapon, and stopped narrowly on the edge of the cliff.
Fortunately, I didn’t fall.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ding Lan suddenly screamed.
"The formation...the formation has started!"
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
The formation is activated?
She looked in the direction of Ding Lan, and then realized that Ding Lan's location was exactly the same as the location where her original body's spiritual vein was damaged!
But wasn't that formation destroyed by Zhao Dongyue? What happened?
At this moment, another strong wind blew towards her.
