Chapter 162 Wanyan Grotto
The Heart-Searching Platform was originally built by Ning Qi according to the principles of the Soul-Captivating Pupil Technique, so it is naturally a perfect place to use the Soul-Captivating Pupil Technique.
Guimian is not an ordinary person. His strength is among the top in the Heavenly Man List. He has a powerful divine will and strong resistance. Ning Qi needs to dig out as much useful information from him as possible.
Keep moving forward.
Many disciples near the Questioning Platform had already been cleared out in advance.
Ning Qi held up the Ghost Mask and landed on the Self-Questioning Platform. The Ghost Mask couldn't help but tremble, and he realized something was wrong.
Of course he knew the name of the Platform of Inquiry. When the Zhenwu Sect was founded and began to accept disciples, several spies from the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang revealed their true origins on the Platform of Inquiry. He was not sure whether the Platform of Inquiry would be of any use to him. Looking at the stone pillars around him, he felt a chill in his heart.
Suddenly, he found that he could speak, and he couldn't help but pluck up the courage to say:
"This place may be useful for dealing with some Gangyuan Realm warriors. With the powerful divine will of Tianren Realm warriors like me, don't even think about getting any useful information from me."
Ning Qi didn't answer.
Luo Wentian smiled coldly:
"You are a frog in a well. Do you know who created this platform for questioning the conscience? How can you imagine what Ninth Junior Brother is capable of? The platform for questioning the conscience cannot shake your divine will, but he can."
This simple sentence immediately made Ghost Face panic.
Everyone in the world believed that the Zhenwu Sect's Platform of Inquiry and the Steps to Heaven were the result of excavating the relics of the ancient sect. But now it seems that this is not the case. They were clearly created by the True Man Tianjian before them.
Ghost Face stared at Ning Qi in front of him, his heart beating faster and faster.
After being captured, he knew the true identity of Tianjian Zhenren from what he saw and heard along the way. He was not the man who was about to die as rumored by the outside world, nor was he an old senior whom he met by chance as said by Longshan Taoist.
This Taoist Tianjian is actually the ninth disciple of Taoist Longshan!
This made him extremely frightened. Among the eleven disciples of Taoist Longshan, the ninth disciple was the most low-key and mysterious. The Demon Sect had tried to investigate him in the past, but found nothing. They only knew that he was only in his teens.
Originally this was nothing, but when a teenager was equated with Tianjian Zhenren, everything became completely different.
"Master Tianjian, are you a human or a ghost?"
The ghost face had a look of fear in its eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Such a person cannot be described by words like genius or evildoer. Throughout history, there has never been such an outrageous thing. Even the powerful martial saints in the past were definitely not so perverted.
If there is such a person in the Demon Sect, there is no need for the so-called Holy Pill Method. We just need to follow the steps and wait for him to grow up.
Ning Qi looked at Ghost Face indifferently, ignoring his fear.
He said nothing.
Inexplicable fluctuations arose from the surrounding self-examination platforms, and Guimian couldn't help but feel palpitations and panic. He tried hard to resist, but the panic in his heart became more and more intense. He felt that a deep vortex was gradually enveloping him.
finally.
He fell into the darkness of the deep pool and met a pair of indescribable pupils that seemed to have black light and golden hues. He became dazed.
After Ning Qi created the secret technique of the Golden Pupil to break illusions, he took out some of the matching parts and strengthened the Soul-Captivating Pupil Technique.
"What is the secret technique of the sad white hair?" Ning Qi's vast voice sounded.
Generally speaking, he doesn't need to ask about such secret techniques, but Qin Yun used this secret technique to burn out his lifespan after all. If he knew the principle of the secret technique, it would be of some help in exploring ways to treat it later. Moreover, it could also be used to test whether the ghost face's soul had been completely captured.
Ghost Face spoke stiffly:
"If you grieve over the gray hair, you will take away their longevity and burn their spirit..."
Each sentence is told in a leisurely manner, showing its exquisiteness.
When Luo Wentian and the other two saw the strange and magical scene before them, they all felt frightened in their hearts. Such a secret technique was truly unheard of. Compared with the Platform of Inquiry, it was far beyond that. It actually required people to reveal all of their secret techniques. There was not a single secret at all.
They secretly admired.
Ning Qi listened and kept thinking. With his current vision, he could tell whether there were any mistakes or omissions in this secret technique just by simple deduction.
"It is indeed a good secret technique. I wonder where this ghost mask came from."
A flash of inspiration came to his mind. Just from this secret technique itself, he knew more about the situation Qin Yun was in now. The situation might be worse than he had imagined before. The efficiency of burning life span was very high. In addition, Qin Yun had no intention of living any longer, so he consumed all his remaining life span in one breath.
Therefore, Qin Yun could almost be said to be on the border between life and death at this moment. If Ning Qi had not noticed something was wrong and immediately sealed him with the ice technique, it would have been too late to save him.
"Even so, the situation is not good. The less time Eighth Senior Brother has left, the higher the requirements for the secret techniques of treatment will be." Ning Qi said to himself.
The look he gave Ghost Face became even colder.
After asking about the secret of the Sad White Hair, Ghost Face's expression had turned pale, and his pupils began to dilate slightly.
Ning Qi didn't waste time and started asking for other information.
Everyone has a limit to what they can endure under the Soul-Captivating Eye Technique. If they exceed the limit, they will become idiots if they are not careful. Ning Qi doesn't care about Ghost Face's life or death, he just wants to squeeze out as much useful information as possible.
"Where is the Demon Sect's headquarters?"
"Ten Thousand Flames Grotto."
Ning Qi raised his eyebrows. The Wanyan Cavern was not within the territory of Dayan, but close to the western desert. It was rumored that there were all kinds of strange fires in the cave, some of which were even capable of threatening strong men in the Heavenly Man Realm. However, he did not expect that the Demon Sect would place its headquarters here.
But he didn't think it was that simple.
“Is this the only headquarters?”
"There are two headquarters in total, but we only know this one. Usually, if there is any important matter, the high-level meetings are held here."
"Who knows about the other place?"
"No one knows except the Great Elder."
Ning Qi asked for some more details and the exact location. He already had an idea in his mind. The ghost's expression became more ferocious, and his eyes became more and more distracted. Ning Qi asked again:
"Where does your sect refine the Holy Pill, and how do you use it? Tell me everything you know about the Holy Pill."
Luo Wentian and the others were all shocked and looked at the ghost face expectantly.
But then the ghost face began to struggle.
Ning Qi suppressed it with his mind, and the vibrations of the Heart-Searching Platform surrounded Ghost Face, and then Ghost Face spoke with difficulty:
"I don't know. Only the Great Elder and the Sect Master know the method of the Holy Pill. This is the top secret of the Holy Sect. Every time the inner pill of a strange beast is handed over to the Great Elder to handle personally, no one else knows where the inner pills have gone. Maybe they have gone to another headquarters."
"What is the origin of your sect leader?"
There was actually a hint of pride in Ghost Face's voice:
"The Sect Master is a rare genius in our Saint Sect. He had already reached the highest level of martial arts sixty years ago. No one knows what level he has reached. Perhaps in the future he will step into the realm of martial saint and lead our Saint Sect to create unprecedented great achievements!"
Even in the soul-stirring state, he was still a little fanatical.
Lin Ruhua saw Jiang Baishan looking at her and shook her head slightly:
"The Sect Master had already been in seclusion before I was born. Everything about the Sect Master is an absolute secret in the Demon Sect, and no one is allowed to mention it."
Everyone was startled and realized that this sect leader was no ordinary person.
But Ning Qi was still calm.
As long as he is not a Martial Saint, he is not afraid.
After some inquiries, he also learned that the method of the Demon Sect's Holy Pill would probably still fall into the hands of the great elder. As for the great elder's strength, it was equally extraordinary. According to Ghost Face, he might be at the top five of the Heavenly List, or even higher.
A moment later.
Ning Qi looked at Ghost Face who had begun to foam at the mouth, and waved his hand slightly, and Ghost Face recovered from the soul-stealing state. He had learned what he needed to know, but he could not kill Ghost Face now. After all, he did not know whether the Demon Sect had the secret technique to sense life and death.
If he knew that Guimian was dead, it would affect his subsequent actions. Besides, he had also promised Jiang Baishan that he would hand over Guimian to him after asking the question.
At this moment, all that remained in the ghost face's pupils was fear, and he looked at Ning Qi as if he had seen a ghost.
He couldn't imagine that there was such a strange technique in the world. He just felt like a stripped lamb, without any secrets anymore.
His head was splitting with pain, as if a stone full of spikes was squeezed into it, stirring it constantly. He couldn't help but have snot and tears pouring down, and his body was shaking like a sieve. The sequelae of the pupil technique had begun to become apparent. Even if he survived, he would be like a disabled person in the future.
Ning Qi pointed.
The ghost mask fell in front of Jiang Baishan like a rag.
He already knows what he should know.
"Fifth Brother, I leave him to you. You can't let him die for now. We'll talk about everything after I come back." Ning Qi said softly.
Jiang Baishan nodded bitterly:
"Don't worry, Xiaojiu. I won't let him die so easily. As long as Xiaoba doesn't wake up, he won't be able to die!"
Luo Wentian sighed lightly and patted Jiang Baishan on the shoulder, but did not say much. Qin Yun was in this state now, and the one who felt most guilty was Jiang Baishan. Perhaps this could allow him to vent his emotions.
He whispered a few words of comfort and let Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua go down to rest. He already knew that Lin Ruhua was pregnant. Although Ning Qi cured her injuries after running around all the time, she was still a little tired.
Only Ning Qi and Luo Wentian were left.
Luo Wentian said:
"Xiaojiu, what are you going to do?"
Ning Qi put his hands behind his back and looked towards the sky:
"I didn't get anything from the Southern Border Blood Emperor Gu this time. Now that I have clues about the Demon Sect's Holy Pill Method, I must seize this opportunity. I plan to go to the Ten Thousand Flames Grotto and try to uproot them completely."
His voice was calm, but full of murderous intent.
Qin Yun's experience made him sentence the Demon Sect to death.
Luo Wentian did not dissuade him, but said solemnly:
"No matter what happens, you should always put yourself first and think more about Master. If anything happens to you again, Master will be..."
As he said this, he sighed softly.
Ning Qi nodded seriously:
"Don't worry, I will be careful. Without further ado, I plan to set off now so that the Demon Sect won't notice anything is wrong."
Guimian, Qin Yun and Elder Ye came out to capture Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua. If they delay too long, the Demon Sect will definitely become suspicious.
Luo Wentian patted him on the shoulder:
"Go quickly and come back quickly. I'll take care of everything inside the gate. Don't worry."
Ning Qi nodded slightly, then stepped into the air silently.
…
Heading west.
Ning Qi's speed was extremely fast, but he restrained his breath so no one could notice it.
In his mind, he began to review all the previous information, Ghost Face's expression, some subtle habits that were difficult to detect, some docking codes, detailed intelligence within the Wanyan Grottoes, and information about many demon masters, etc.
"The Wanyan Cavern is located at the junction of Liangzhou and the desert in the far west. There are many dangerous places in that area, and the Wanyan Cavern is one of them. Although the Demon Sect regards it as its headquarters, it is actually far from exploring the entire area. It only occupies a small area based on the experience of its predecessors."
"According to Ghost Face, those who are qualified to know the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Flames Grotto must be strong people above the Heavenly Man Realm and loyal to the Demon Sect. In short, without exception, they must be members of the Demon Sect for generations. That's why Brother Eighth doesn't know. If Sister-in-law Five reaches the Heavenly Man Realm in the future and passes the test, she may be qualified to know."
Ning Qi gradually understood why the Demon Sect was so difficult to deal with.
The realm of heaven and man is the core.
Even if Dayan eradicates all other branches of the Demon Sect, after a few decades, he can send some powerful people in the Heavenly Realm to rebuild it, and it will be able to revive.
Not to mention, the Wanyan Grotto is just one of the headquarters.
"This demon sect is really a cunning rabbit with three burrows. If it weren't for my Soul-stealing Eye Technique, I'm afraid they wouldn't even know about the headquarters in the Ten Thousand Flames Grotto."
Ning Qi knew that it might not be so easy to get through this time.
He also didn't know how many powerful people in the Heavenly Realm there were in the Wanyan Grottoes over the years.
While thinking.
His face and figure began to change, and in the blink of an eye he had transformed into a ghost face.
"There's still something missing."
Ning Qi slapped his head and thought about it.
When passing by a town, he disguised himself as an ordinary person and bought a few pieces of bronze. Then he transformed his internal energy into flames and melted them. Not long after, a bronze mask appeared in Ning Qi's hand. It was exactly the same as the one worn by Ghost Face before. Ning Qi only needed to see it once to imprint many details in his mind.
Ning Qi was flying in the sky, and in the process he was also deducing Ghost Face's martial arts.
Time passes.
After passing through Liangzhou, he had become a genuine "Ghost Face", with the same facial features, body shape, clothing and martial arts characteristics.
The corners of his mouth curved up.
In this way, there will be no loopholes, but one must still be careful. After all, the information obtained from the Soul-Captivating Pupil Technique is not that comprehensive. If the secret is revealed, one must be prepared for a tough battle.
However, it’s better to take it easy.
His temperament gradually changed, and the eyes hidden under the mask became cold and ruthless.
Ahead.
It is already the Wanyan Grotto.
The Wanyan Cavern has countless entrances and exits. If you look from the sky, it looks like the earth has opened a series of huge mouths. You can even see some of the huge mouths spewing out flames of various colors. It is spectacular. The power of some of the flames even surprised Ning Qi.
but.
After so many years of exploration, the Demon Sect has mastered some of the rules.
Ning Qi stopped in front of a cave entrance and waited silently.
An hour later, the deep blue flames in front of him gradually subsided, and he stepped in.
But just as he was about to make a move, a wave of movement came from afar, heading straight towards this side. Ning Qi retracted his steps, looked over with a cold gaze, and saw a young man in a purple robe striding towards him. He laughed:
"I didn't expect such a coincidence that I would meet the deputy sect leader here!"
Ning Qi recognized the identity of the person who came, one of the Demon Sect's candidate saints, Jiang Tianlong.
He secretly thought that it was bad luck and that he had started off badly.
