Lianyi used "The Art of Covering the Sky" this time to suppress his cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining. He changed into a Taoist robe for a casual cultivator, held a compass in his hand, used the light body technique to climb up the hill, and headed straight for the ruined temple.
Looking at the dilapidated place in front of her that was almost like an open-air platform, Lianyi took a quick look around and finally walked in.
Duoduo was still wearing her hair as a head ornament in Lianyi's bun, while Xuanfeng had returned to Lianyi's sleeve pocket. After entering the temple, he stuck his head out and looked around.
Lianyi took out a defensive array plate that could resist attacks from the Foundation Establishment Stage and covered the ruined temple with it. Then he took out a cushion and sat down, swallowed a pill, and pretended to be healing himself.
Yes, Lianyi played the role of a seriously injured Qi-refining cultivator who broke into this dilapidated temple in a panic and used it as a temporary place to recuperate.
As night fell, Lianyi felt that the temple was becoming increasingly gloomy. A wisp of black fog emerged from somewhere and enveloped the entire temple in a moment.
Lianyi pretended to have just noticed something unusual and immediately jumped up from the futon, holding an extremely ordinary spirit sword in his hand. He looked around and shouted loudly:
"Who? Come out! Don't play tricks in front of this fairy! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
As Lianyi scolded, a ghostly laugh of "hahaha" came from the surrounding black fog. The next moment, the black fog condensed together and transformed into a male cultivator wearing a black cloak. His pale face looked even more eerie under the moonlight. Lianyi recognized this man. He was Du Lele's half-brother Du Mingyi.
After Du Mingyi realized that someone had broken into his territory, he had been secretly observing the female cultivator who was practicing Qi Refining. Apart from healing her wounds, she did not make any extra moves, but he was still uneasy and waited until after dark before she showed up. Regardless of whether the other party had broken in unintentionally or had ulterior motives, he could not keep this female cultivator.
"Are you an evil cultivator?"
Lianyi revealed the other party's identity in one sentence.
"Humph! Now that you've figured it out, there's no need for you to live anymore."
Du Mingyi snorted coldly, and swung out a whip made of evil energy, which rolled towards Lianyi's waist.
Lianyi pretended to be a little panicked and swung his sword twice to swing away the black mist whip, then rushed towards the temple gate.
Du Mingyi dodged the two attacks that had no offensive power, and with a flash of his body, he stood in front of Lianyi, then stretched out his hand to pinch Lianyi's neck. After all, Qi-refining cultivators were just ants in his eyes.
It's just that Lianyi, the ant, was in disguise. The moment Du Mingyi approached, Lianyi's consciousness had turned into a sharp sword, piercing directly into the opponent's sea of consciousness and searching his soul at the same time.
When Du Mingyi realized the crisis and wanted to transform his body back into black mist, it was too late. The light in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
Lianyi withdrew his spiritual consciousness and ejected a red lotus fire, which completely turned Du Mingyi into ashes.
"These evil cultivators are really quite capable."
"Master, why did they capture the child? Are they trying to practice evil skills?"
Tornado stuck his head out and asked.
"They capture children in order to train them to become evil practitioners from an early age."
"So that's how it is."
"And all these children they stole have spiritual roots."
The other party can determine the spiritual roots of the child before testing the spiritual roots, and then take the initiative. It is conceivable how much damage will be caused to the entire Canglan Continent if these children with spiritual roots become evil cultivators in the future.
"Let's go! Go clean up the mess."
Lian Yi brought a whirlwind and turned the only Buddha statue in the temple around. Then he slapped the ground with his palm, making a big hole. Then he released seven red lotus fires into the hole, and then jumped down with a whirlwind.
The ground was camouflaged by Du Mingyi with a formation, and after the ripples broke through, the evil cultivators who stayed inside immediately realized something was wrong. The seven people inside immediately divided into two groups, five of them intercepted the ripples, and the other two took the children away.
Unfortunately, Lianyi had already learned the structure of the cave through soul searching, and directly rewarded each of the seven people with a red lotus fire, and asked them to go with Du Mingyi, which was very quick and decisive.
When Lianyi saw the child soaking in the jar of blood, her brows began to frown. These evil cultivators actually used this method to pollute the child's spiritual roots and artificially cultivate him into an evil cultivator suitable for practicing evil skills.
"Master, the smell here is terrible."
Tornado wrinkled his nose, and even Duoduo shook her petals.
Lianyi also didn't like the smell here. The resentful and evil energy condensed in the black blood was almost turning into substance.
"The wind is coming!"
Lianyi raised her hand and waved. A breeze blew and blew away the unpleasant smell in the cave. Lianyi waved her hand again and fished out the child soaked in the jar.
The three children who were stolen last night had not been thrown into the jar of blood yet. They were just in a coma, which saved her some trouble.
Lianyi brought twenty children out of the cave, and then a red lotus fire popped out, burning the entire cave clean.
Then Lianyi made hand gestures to gather water, and put the children who had been soaked in the blood altar into the water to wash them. After fishing the children out, he turned his spiritual consciousness into threads and entered the children's bodies to check them one by one.
Lianyi frowned after reading it. The situation of five children was more serious. Their spiritual roots had almost been contaminated. Even if their spiritual roots were detected, they could only take the evil path of cultivation in the future.
These five children all have single spiritual roots, and two of them have unusual spiritual roots, so they were chosen by the evil cultivators.
"Why!"
Lianyi sighed. Even though she couldn't bear it, she still brought out a trace of red lotus fire to burn the five children's spiritual roots to ashes.
Although the five children were in a coma, they still frowned in pain. Their faces turned pale instantly, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their little faces became dull.
Lianyi gave the five children a sip of diluted spiritual spring water, which made the five children's faces relax.
"Master, they won't be able to practice anymore."
Duoduo knew a lot and could see that her master had no choice but to do this.
"Yes, fortunately they haven't tested their spiritual roots yet. Without expectations, there will be no disappointment. This is a good thing for them."
The remaining eight children all had dual spiritual roots. The degree of contamination of their spiritual roots varied, and it took Lianyi some effort to deal with them.
The spiritual roots that were seriously contaminated would be burned directly. If the condition was not serious, she would let Hongye handle it as appropriate to remove the evil spirits and try to preserve the child's spiritual roots.
At dawn the next day, Lian Yi swept the twenty children and returned directly to Laurel City to complete the task.
The head of the City Lord's Mansion was sorting out the task list. He looked up and saw Lianyi. He thought for a moment and immediately said:
"My fellow Taoist, where did you go last night? Another child went missing in the city yesterday."
"I went to chase the evildoer, so I didn't come back yesterday. Fortunately, I lived up to the trust and finally rescued the child."
Lianyi waved her sleeves after she finished speaking, and twenty children appeared neatly on the ground. After she made some hand gestures again, the children woke up one after another.
"this"
