The cultivator Jin Zhao who is in charge of the Qingyang is a cultivator at the eighth level of foundation building.

The moment he sensed the demonic energy, he started to activate the spirit ship formation.

The other foundation-building monks on the spirit ship also noticed the transparent particles one after another, and took action to shatter the particles.

After hearing the noise, Shen Lian pretended to wave his spiritual power a few times in the room.

"All fellow Taoists in the Foundation Establishment Stage, come to the Spirit Ship's attic and gather together."

Jin Zhao's voice echoed on the spirit ship.

A demon cultivator has boarded the spirit ship, this is a big deal.

In addition to the three foundation-building cultivators on the spirit ship, there were five other foundation-building cultivators including Shen Lian, and they soon appeared on the spirit ship's attic together.

Of course, Qi Chengzan is also included.

In the attic, Jin Zhao looked at Shen Lian and the other five people.

"My fellow Taoists, a demon cultivator has sneaked into the spirit ship. To be on the safe side, the five Taoists will temporarily rest in the attic. Is that okay?"

When saying this, Jin Zhao was holding a round disc in his hand. This was the control disc of the spirit ship formation, which had been activated and was flashing with spiritual light.

"Fellow Daoist Jin is right."

A monk spoke up immediately.

The purpose of the foundation-building cultivators who took this spiritual ship was mostly to go to Ao Shi Immortal City to purchase resources.

And except for Shen Lian and Qi Chengzan, it was not the first time for the remaining three cultivators to board the Qingyang spirit ship.

The three of them are also the elders and clan leaders of various foundation-building families.

"Just listen to Brother Jin."

Shen Lian also echoed, he didn't care, he just wanted to see how the fellow Taoist next to him would perform.

If he hadn't understood the whole story, he would not have been able to tell that this middle-aged monk, who looked intimidating without even getting angry, was actually wearing a decent vest.

"Listen to Fellow Daoist Jin." Qi Chengzan nodded to the Foundation Establishment cultivators, then chuckled. There was no trace of strangeness in his expression.

Not long after, the other two foundation-building monks who were in charge of the spirit ship appeared.

"Elder Jin, apart from the soul particles we found earlier, no other demonic energy was found."

Jin Zhao nodded. He had used the spirit ship's core array to patrol the entire spirit ship three times in a row, and had not found any other demonic energy.

"The methods of the demon cultivators are treacherous, so you still have to be careful."

Jin Zhao spoke softly and asked the two foundation-building monks to sit in the front and back of the spirit ship respectively, while he always separated a part of his spiritual consciousness and immersed it in the core control array.

The attic is the area covered by the core of the entire spirit ship formation. Once the formation is activated, the attic will be the first to bear the brunt.

As for who the evil cultivator was, Jin Zhao actually didn't want to find him out, as that would easily lead to hatred and cause trouble for the Qingyang.

I just hope the spirit ship has a safe journey. If there are any magic cultivators, I hope they can disembark at the next stop.

But I’m afraid that the evil cultivator’s target is the Qingyang spirit ship.

If that were the case, the cost would be huge.

Inside the attic, several foundation-building monks sat cross-legged on each side, guarding against each other.

Shen Lian was somewhat curious about how the fellow Taoist next to him was able to hide his demonic aura.

He has the demeanor of a righteous cultivator. Could I make a copy of the relevant techniques for him to learn?

Of course, watching a play is just watching a play.

In the Dantian, the Tianyan Jade Talisman is already prepared.

There are still two sets of Tiangang Disha Leihuo Talisman Arrays left in the storage bracelet on the left.

In the right bracelet, an ordinary jade talisman can fly out with just a thought.

As for the Wanli Divine Traveling Talisman and the Five Elements Spirit Puppets, they had already been in place.

As soon as there is any movement, Shen Lian can ensure that he will be the first to rush out.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the spirit ship became depressing.

The Qi-cultivating monks on the ship were trembling with fear, fearing that the evil cultivators would suddenly attack them.

On the attic, Jin Zhao held the core formation plate in his hand, his eyes moving back and forth over the five foundation-building monks in front of him, and he also used his spiritual power to patrol the entire spirit ship.

Even though the three foundation-building masters had communicated with him several times, no one could be trusted at this time.

Under Jin Zhao's gaze, several foundation-building monks lost their minds to meditate. They just stared at each other, and one could see the defensive look in their eyes.

Several days passed like this, and everyone's expressions seemed to have eased, but they were still on guard.

Jin Zhao was even more distressed. If the formation on the spirit ship continued to operate, the spirit stones earned from this voyage would not be enough to cover its consumption.

But it is not possible not to activate the formation. The Qingyang Island Alliance occupies such a route. The route is a bit off the beaten track, but it is at least a way for the alliance to earn spirit stones.

If a demon cultivator really appeared to cause trouble, not to mention the destruction of the spirit ship and casualties, it would also affect the brand.

Jin Zhao pulled a face.

The faces of all the foundation-building monks were not looking very good.

After being together for several days, Qi Chengzan had the opportunity to look at the monks around him, and now he even doubted himself.

Is the cultivator who killed Xiang Jingying still on the spirit ship?

The blood bean worms didn't make any noise, so he probably lost them.

It's not that he is incompetent, it's just that he is extremely cunning.

Five days later, the Qingyang was about to land at its next anchorage, Feiyun Island.

When the spirit ship was about to fall, a storage bag appeared in Jin Zhao's hand and he threw it towards the side of the spirit ship outside the attic.

"You are welcome, fellow Taoist."

Jin Zhao bowed towards the void, not to any of the foundation-building cultivators in the attic.

"This is a small gift from the Qingyang. It's not a token of respect, but the Qingyang Island Alliance is grateful for the kindness."

After the Qingyang landed on Feiyun Island, the Qi-cultivating monks on the spirit ship swarmed down one after another.

It’s so exciting to be on the same ship with the demon cultivators.

Looking at the Qi-cultivating monks who were getting off the ship one after another, Jin Zhao's mouth twitched.

"My fellow Taoists, don't panic. The Qingyang will stay on Feiyun Island for three days. Our Qingyang Island Alliance leader, Master Wan Yan, will come in person to take charge."

Under Jin Zhao's gaze, Shen Lian got up from the attic and walked towards the island.

When he got off the ship, he saw the storage bag hanging on the side of the ship.

This is the way to avoid disaster by spending money.

Shen Lian was not optimistic about this method of drinking poison to quench thirst, as it would only indulge the demon cultivators' courage.

Jin Zhao is a foundation-building cultivator but he is also a businessman. He believes that harmony brings wealth, so there is nothing wrong with what he did.

The key point is that he was the one who caused this incident.

The other instigator was also on the spirit ship, and both of them acted uneasy when facing the demon cultivator.

It's really amazing! After Shen Lian got off the spirit ship, he found that Qi Chengzan also got off the spirit ship, and he couldn't help but be alert.

The Qingyang landed in the square outside Feiyun City. As Shen Lian walked towards the city, he inadvertently looked behind him.

At the same time, he was always sensing the divine mind talisman stuck on his body, but he did not sense any fluctuations of the talisman throughout the journey.

Qi Chengzan, who got off the spirit ship together, flew towards the sea outside Feiyun Island.

Shen Lian watched Qi Chengzan disappear at the end of the sky and water before he slowly withdrew his gaze.

He was just thinking, if someone follows him, should he follow and kill him?

It's better for him to run away. Knowing that this person is a disciple of the Black Cliff Patriarch, I can be warned in advance if I meet him again in the future.

He hasn't even collected enough money for the materials to make the Tianyan Jade Talisman, so he's not tough at all.

If it is not necessary, it is better not to act in front of the Jindan Patriarch.

Then, Shen Lian flew towards the vast ocean outside Feiyun Island. It was the most difficult to hide in the boundless ocean. He let the Five Elements Spirit Puppets merge into the water and waited for a long time but there was no movement.

It looks like he's really gone.

Then he summoned Ding San, took the Happy Pill and the Dianluandaofeng Pill and headed towards Feiyun City.

Starting today, bring happiness to fellow Taoists.

…

Off the coast of Feiyun Island.

On a remote island.

In a cave opened up deep in the earth, a breath-suppressing formation was operating.

Nine blood candles were burning, and the dripping blood was as red as pulp. The blood light reflected in the cave was shaking, stretching Qi Chengzan's figure.

Qi Chengzan stood in the center of the blood candle, holding a copper candlestick in both hands. A gust of wind rolled up on the candlestick, which rolled together the blood smoke from the nine blood candles around it, forming a ball of jumping blood fire.

A distorted and blurry figure appeared as the blood and fire flickered.

"The blood soul bead has been received."

A voice that couldn't be distinguished between a man and a woman came from the figure in the blood and fire.

"Master, I am incompetent."

Qi Chengzan fell to his knees. Although there were reasons for the problem this time, the more he tried to argue in front of Heiya, the more unlucky he would be.

The cave fell into silence.

Qi Chengzan didn't even dare to breathe.

"explain."

After a long time, the sound was heard again in the blood and fire.

"Master, I have been ordered to stay at the sea off Qianwang Island, waiting for Junior Brother Xiang and the others..."

Qi Chengzan did not dare to hide anything and told the whole story. He also said that he chased the person from Yishan Island to Liuxian Island, but something went wrong and he lost him in the end.

Finally, he carefully expressed his guess, and it seemed that the Blood Demon's Trace Spell had been eliminated.

"It can eliminate the blood demon's trace spell."

There was a hint of interest in the words of the Black Cliff Patriarch.

"This person also threw Junior Brother Jingying and his companions' magical instruments, as well as all items related to the magic path, into the sea. I happened to pick them up when I was tracking them, so I can't find any clues from the magical instruments."

Qi Chengzan also felt aggrieved. His trace-leaving technique was worn out, and the magic weapon that could identify the aura of cultivation techniques and secret arts was also thrown away.

No wonder he couldn't catch up.

If he kept the magic weapon, he could try his luck in the black market.

"Get up, it's not your fault. I have already obtained the Blood Soul Orb through another channel."

The Black Cliff Patriarch changed the subject and said, "It's a pity that such a cautious person doesn't become my disciple."

Qi Chengzan lowered his head, his expression not showing the slightest change. He knew that the Black Cliff Demon did everything perfectly.

He was just a pawn in one of the groups, and there were others trying to get the Blood Soul Orb.

"Please teach me what to do next, Master. I am willing to use my merits to atone for my sins."

"Do you want to avenge Jingying and the other two?"

After hearing this, Qi Chengzan became very alert.

I want to... or I don't want to...

The Black Cliff Demon had countless disciples, and countless of his disciples had been killed by the major sects.

If we want revenge on everyone, the biggest enemy would be Xuanhai Sect.

I would like to ask Wan Xinghai, has anyone ever heard of the Black Cliff Demon avenging his disciples?

"Disciple...disciple will obey Master's orders in everything."

After a moment of silence, the voice of the Black Cliff Patriarch sounded again.

"Where are you now?"

"My disciple is on Feiyun Island in the northwest sea area. The nearest great immortal city is Aoshi Immortal City."

"Aoshi Immortal City?"

The eyes of the Black Cliff Patriarch narrowed, revealing a hint of thoughtfulness.

After a long time.

"You go directly to Aoshi Immortal City and wait for the opportunity. When a blood demon arrow appears, you will cooperate to create chaos in the city."

"yes."

Qi Chengzan was shocked, but did not dare to ask any more questions. Only when he saw the blood and fire on the candlestick disappear did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Ao Shi Fairy City, creating chaos.

He can't do this alone.

Suddenly, Qi Chengzan had a terrible guess in his mind.

Heiya Lao... Master, he wants to...
