Chapter 68 Troubled Times
The person who came was Lin Tianyi.
Looking at this guy, Jiang Ming closed his skills.
"Didn't you say you would come tomorrow? Why are you here tonight?" Jiang Ming asked.
"Because I felt that you, uncle, might be in Lingyun Sect, so I quickened my pace, but I didn't expect you to be here." Lin Tianyi said with a smile as he sat aside.
Jiang Ming sighed.
He waved his hand, and a layer of transparent ripples appeared in the space, blocking out the entire aura in the room.
Then, Jiang Ming looked at Lin Tianyi.
"Tell me, what's so urgent that requires you to go to Zhongdaozhou in person?" Jiang Ming asked.
“Uncle Master is right. Many strange things have indeed happened in Zhongdao Province recently.” Lin Tianyi’s expression suddenly became serious.
"First, there are the monsters from Zhongdao Province. Normally, monsters roam in their own mountains and do not interfere with people's territories. But recently, the monsters from Zhongdao Province have gone crazy and are attacking cities in droves."
"Also, some people have noticed that some people of unknown origin have appeared in Zhongdao Province recently. All those who saw them are dead. The people of Qianhe Sect noticed that the wounds on the bodies of the dead were very strange and did not seem to be caused by the monks of Zhongdao Province, so they called on everyone to investigate and take precautions."
"As for the last point, it is about the Wenxian Sect."
Lin Tianyi explained them one by one slowly and calmly.
"What happened to the Xian Sect?" Jiang Ming asked.
"There are two strange things about the Wenxian Sect, which is why I have to go there myself."
"One is to ask about the stone pillar of the Immortal Sect. I wonder if Uncle Master has any impression of it."
Lin Tianyi said.
Jiang Ming nodded.
"I heard from some cultivators living near the Wenxian Sect that there have been many unusual movements in the Sect recently, and the source is that towering stone pillar. Some people suspect that a treasure has appeared in the world, while others say that some kind of demon has been suppressed underneath." Lin Tianyi narrated all the rumors he had heard.
Jiang Ming still didn't speak.
He did have a familiar feeling about the stone pillar, but it had been so long that he couldn't remember it at all.
“As for the second thing, Lin Nian Jue is missing.” Lin Tianyi said solemnly.
"Missing?" Jiang Ming was a little surprised.
He had crippled Lin Nian Jue with his own hands, and now Lin Nian Jue was not even an ordinary person.
Without the true qi to protect his lifeline, Lin Nian Jue would not survive more than half a year.
How could such a useless person disappear out of thin air? "Yes, I was also surprised that Lin Nianjue disappeared, but since he suddenly disappeared in the Questioning Immortal Sect, it is very likely that he was taken away by someone." Lin Tianyi said.
Hearing this, Jiang Ming frowned.
There is no logic in Lin Tianyi's analysis, it's just that the people in Suoluo Palace only focus on souls and people who can be used.
A useless person like Lin Nianjue, who has neither martial arts skills nor a good soul, is of no value to the Suoluo Palace.
Could it be that he wanted to kill someone to silence them? That's unlikely.
If Lin Nian Jue really knew the whereabouts of the other remnants of the Suoluo Palace, he would have been able to find out when he asked the Immortal Sect. Since they didn't know the inside story, there was no need for the Suoluo Palace to take the risk of being discovered and capture Lin Nian Jue again.
"It seems that things are not simple." Jiang Ming said in a low voice.
"Yes." Lin Tianyi nodded.
Then he looked at Jiang Ming and asked curiously, "By the way, why did Master Uncle come to Lingyun Sect?"
Jiang Ming thought about it and finally decided to tell Lin Tianyi.
"I suspect that Lingyun Sect is colluding with the Demon Sect." Jiang Ming said.
“No way? Although Lingyun Sect’s strength has declined in recent years, it can still be considered a famous and upright sect.” Lin Tianyi couldn’t believe it.
"I investigated some clues when I came here. The head and elders of Lingyun Sect are now in seclusion. In addition, Lingyun Sect often sends some inhumane life-extending medicine powder to the Lin family of Wuxiao City who cooperates with them."
"During the two days I was here, I did find out some news about Lingyun Sect's leader and elders. They are all trying to break through their own bottlenecks."
Jiang Ming said calmly.
"What?" Lin Tianyi's expression was complicated.
The strength of Lingyun Sect is much weaker than that of Daotian Sect. Even when he was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Lingyun Sect was still far behind Daotian Sect.
But now, all the elders and above in Lingyun Sect are trying to break through the bottleneck.
In other words, their strength will skyrocket! What does this mean? Once Su Wuying comes out of retreat, his strength will reach the fusion stage, and the other elders will all be promoted to the spirit transformation stage.
In this way, their overall strength will be the same as that of Daotian Sect! Even if Lin Tianyi and the others ate the ninth-grade elixir as candy beans, it would be impossible for them to break through their strength so quickly in such a short time.
"Is this true?" Lin Tianyi still couldn't believe it.
"It's almost certain, because I can sense that deep in the Lingyun Sect, there are several auras trying to break through." Jiang Ming took a sip of tea lightly.
Lin Tianyi took a breath of cold air.
He didn't dare to deny Jiang Ming's words, especially since Jiang Ming was sure that the other party had made a breakthrough, the possibility was very high.
"What should we do now?" Lin Tianyi asked.
"Let's just do what we have to do and deal with the current issues first. As for Zhongdao Province, I will go there as a disciple of Lingyun Sect to eliminate the monsters. If I have free time, I will also ask Xianzong to check on the situation." Jiang Ming replied.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, uncle." Lin Tianyi stood up and bowed.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to see who is causing trouble." Jiang Ming said calmly.
In fact, Jiang Ming was already a little more curious.
Everything cannot happen without reason. Troubled times often mean greater disasters.
Combined with the disaster star he saw that night, Jiang Ming could vaguely sense that this disaster might be quite serious.
…
Zhongdao Prefecture.
On top of a bare mountain.
A person in a black robe stood here, and the black robe almost covered his face and body. No one knew whether he was a man or a woman.
But if Jiang Ming were here, he would be able to recognize the origin of this black robe.
Blood Demon Sect!
At this time, a man came from afar, walked up to the man in black robe and knelt on one knee respectfully.
"Great Elder, everything has been done, but there were a few small fry who wanted to get in the way. I killed them and didn't leave any traces." said the visitor.
“Very good. Ask the Immortal Sect how much human blood is needed to unseal the monsters that are suppressed?” The Great Elder of the Blood Demon Sect said in a deep voice.
“We still need tens of thousands. However, many sects have recently approached the Wenxian Sect, believing that a rare treasure has appeared in the Wenxian Sect. We just need to use some bait and set up a large formation to trap them in the formation. The number of people will definitely be able to awaken the monsters below.” The old man replied.
The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction.
All the plans were in his control. As long as they could awaken the monster under the Questioning Immortal Sect, they would be able to obtain more flesh and blood! In this way, they would be able to successfully awaken the Blood Demon King!
"Do as you say, and make sure everything goes perfectly. Otherwise, you don't have to come back." The Great Elder said coldly.
"Yes, sir!"
