Chapter 94: Don't bite me, Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Art, how could they get so close?
This Taoist temple is very vast, with palaces and pavilions in clusters, mist everywhere, and flashing array patterns.
The pavilions and caves in the depths had already been searched by the cultivators and creatures who had arrived before.
Major battles broke out in some areas, and the fighting is still going on until now, with corpses lying everywhere and blood splattered everywhere.
Although the Blood Immortal Sect is terrifying, in the eyes of many cultivators, it is still far less important than the opportunity in front of them.
So even though there is chaos and turmoil in the secret realm now and everyone is in danger, fighting can still be seen in many areas.
Jiang Lan led everyone along the deep corridor, all the way to the depths of the Taoist temple.
While he was recalling the location of the Dark Palace in the original plot, he was also paying attention to the changes in fortune within the Niwan Palace.
As he expected, those pretended angry words did play a big role.
Ling Zhuyun is kind-hearted, sticks to her bottom line, adheres to benevolence and righteousness, and does not harm innocent people. No matter from which aspect, she is a well-deserved good person.
In the original plot, she had all kinds of innate advantages, but in the end, Chu Chan still took away everything that belonged to her.
The biggest reason was that she trusted Chu Chan too much, and kindness became her biggest weakness.
It is naturally good to become friends with such a person, because she will not harm you, and will give you great help and support at the most critical moment, even if it means paying a heavy price with her life.
Jiang Lan had no right to say that she was wrong, but now that he was plotting to take over Ling Zhuyun's fortune, he naturally had to start from this aspect.
From the day of the tea-making meeting when he met Ling Zhuyun, he deliberately left an impression in her mind that he was willing to help her.
As for whether Ling Zhuyun could figure it out at that time, it didn’t matter, because Jiang Lan would use other means to make her think in that direction.
Therefore, since leaving Anyang City and entering Zixia Mountains, he has been consciously or unconsciously trying to perfect his image through some details.
At the same time, he secretly reminded Ling Zhuyun through some vague words, asking her to beware of Ye Ming and the Blood Immortal Sect.
In this way, Ling Zhuyun herself would become confused for no reason. Logically speaking, Jiang Lan was not familiar with her at all, so why would he deliberately say something that seemed to have a deeper meaning.
She will be confused and puzzled, so she will definitely find an opportunity to find Jiang Lan and ask for clarification.
Under the premise of this series, when the two were alone in the cave and the human-faced flag attacked, Jiang Lan stepped forward to protect him, and Ling Zhuyun accidentally exposed his "heart-eating disease".
All the previous associations and speculations will be connected together in an instant.
Therefore, in Ling Zhuyun's mind, there appeared an image of a noble young man who was suffering from illness for many reasons, but was self-deprecating and determined to work hard.
Under such a strong contrast, coupled with the fact that Jiang Lan knew that she was lying in public, favored Ye Ming, covered up his identity, and chose to give her face and did not expose her lies, Ling Zhuyun instantly felt a strong sense of guilt and self-blame.
In addition, due to various preconceived prejudices, she has never had a good impression of Jiang Lan. The strong contrast made her feel deeply guilty, thinking, "Why did I treat him like that before?"
Ling Zhuyun seemed holy and aloof, but in fact she was a simple-minded yet overly kind person.
The philosophy that Yao Chi Sect instilled in her since childhood never told her about the hardships of this world and the darkness of human nature, and her identity did not require her to be exposed to these.
On the contrary, Chu Chan, who had experienced the knocks and hardships of the secular world, fully interpreted what it meant to be white and black. Under her beautiful and moving appearance, her heart was already as cold as iron.
Jiang Lan knew Ling Zhuyun's character, so he was able to control her well.
Of course, he didn't expect that with just such a short period of contact, he could make Ling Zhuyun quickly develop a liking for him, become completely devoted to him, and work for him.
Therefore, what I said just now was just an opportunity to strike a blow to her heart and make her reflect on herself. If she had not experienced the worries and fears, and the indecision between closeness and distance, how could she have developed such deep feelings for him.
Jiang Lan believed that she would catch up soon.
After strolling around the dojo, Jiang Lan noticed a storage room and asked Li Daoyi and others to break the restrictions outside.
In addition to the numerous rare minerals, armors, and magical instruments, there were also some martial arts secrets and so on. He was not very interested in them, so he let everyone share them.
Then, while feeling the Qi surging in the Niwan Palace, Jiang Lan was also observing the movements of Chu Chan through his Qi.
Whenever Chu Chan got an opportunity that was extremely blessed, he would receive a lot of good fortune in return.
Through this feedback of luck, he could vaguely see what was happening on the other side.
Originally, he had been giving Chu Chan a laissez-faire attitude, but Chu Chan kept giving him surprises.
After Jiang Lan took a look at the situation, he called Li Daoyi and others and planned to leave the Taoist temple and go to the ancient medicine garden.
Although there is indeed a cave deep in this Taoist temple, it is only the Ming Mansion left by True Lord Zixia, and the Immortal Fetus Creation Dew that he wants is not in it.
Since Chu Chan is here, then leave it to her. After she gets it, it will bring good luck to herself anyway.
With her intelligence and cleverness, after leaving the secret realm, she would definitely explain in detail what opportunities she had obtained and hand over some of them.
After separating from him, Chu Chan undoubtedly stayed with many disciples of Yao Chi Sect.
Moreover, because of the message left by Chu Yun, Chu Chan was able to quickly find a shortcut and led everyone from Yao Chi Sect to the depths of the Taoist temple early on.
It is precisely because of this reason that no other cultivators encountered people from the Yao Chi Sect.
"The Three Purities of the Universe, this is a secret technique created by True Lord Zixia after observing a Taoist master with great magical powers..."
In the palace shrouded in mist, the aura of the formation flickered, and a lot of smoke and haze spread, making the surrounding scene blurry.
Some array patterns emitted divine light, and there was a faint powerful aura in the air.
Chu Chan was holding a jade slip in her hand, sitting cross-legged on the Taoist platform here. Her dark eyebrows were slightly wrinkled on her beautiful and flawless face, as if she was talking to herself, or as if she was pondering something.
Next to her, there was a figure standing, it was Chen Ning.
However, at this moment, Chen Ning's face looked a little dull, and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his mind and looked like a puppet.
Chu Chan was still immersed in this jade slip, and then began to study according to the local environment.
Buzz!!! Suddenly, a hazy glow filled the empty space, and a row of tiny characters appeared.
Each one is extremely bright and shrouded in clear light, and requires a strong divine sense to observe them carefully and clearly.
Chu Chan concentrated her mind and watched with bated breath, her expression focused, not daring to miss a single word.
A vague Taoist figure in feathered robes began to appear in her mind, sitting cross-legged in three places, facing each other, with a mysterious wave interweaving and spreading.
At this moment, Chu Chan seemed to have fallen into a mysterious state of enlightenment, and her cultivation aura and spiritual aura were steadily improving.
This palace, named Daoqing Palace, is where True Lord Zixia usually explains scriptures to his disciples.
Chu Chan knew that there was a formation engraved here, and knew where the core of the control was.
So she made an excuse to explain the relationship between her ancestors and True Lord Zixia, so that the people of Chen family in Beiming would believe her and lead the way.
After arriving at the dojo, she led everyone into the place step by step, and she herself manipulated the formations left there to disperse and trap everyone in various places.
She took this opportunity to use the methods learned from the divine mark left by the ancient Tianzun Bei Ming to defeat and subdue the powerful men of the Chen family one by one.
During this process, she also used the puppet-breaking technique to refine Chen Ning into a puppet of her own, making him obey her orders.
From the outside, he looks no different from a normal person. Even the older generation of the Chen family would not be able to detect anything unusual when they saw him.
Of course, now that Chen Ning has no orders from her, he looks like a puppet, but when he moves, he becomes agile and natural.
Next, Chu Chan will use Chen Ning's puppet identity to begin to erode the power of the Beiming Chen family and use it for her own purposes.
Her gains from this trip to the secret realm of True Lord Zixia were not small at all, and this will also provide the most original accumulation for her future party forces.
"As long as I can devour the Chen family of Beiming and control them, and obtain all the legacy of the ancient Beiming Tianzun, I will have a foothold when I enter the Xiangguo Mansion in the future."
…
At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Lan, who was planning to leave the dojo, was quickly caught up by Ling Zhuyun behind him.
However, Jiang Lan didn't seem to notice it at all and didn't even stop.
"Mr. Jiang..."
Ling Zhuyun transformed into a divine rainbow, landed beside him, and reached out to grab his arm.
Jiang Lan tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, "Let go."
"I'm sorry for what I said just now. I shouldn't have said those things in front of you. I don't mean to help Ye...that person explain himself, and I won't stand on his side to help him..."
Ling Zhuyun opened her mouth and wanted to mention Ye Ling's name, but Jiang Lan just said not to mention Ye Ling in front of him, so she changed her words and said that person.
"Saint Maiden Zhuyun, if other cultivators see you and I arguing like this, how are you going to explain it to the Yao Chi Sect?" Jiang Lan looked at her calmly, intending to pull his hand back.
"Then listen to my explanation first."
Ling Zhuyun did not let go, but looked at him steadily, as if she did not care whether there were other cultivators around.
Her eyes are pure and clear, like a solitary orchid in a valley, very otherworldly, and like a fairy flower, containing a poetic and fairy-like charm and elegance.
"I've just finished listening." Jiang Lan said.
"You didn't. You didn't even listen to my explanation carefully..."
Ling Zhuyun still looked at him, not letting him go any further.
"Why do you insist on explaining it to me? Is this important?" Jiang Lan asked her back.
Ling Zhuyun was stumped by his question. Yes, why should she explain to him? Is it important? But when she saw him walk away angrily, she felt flustered and wanted to explain it to him.
Now that she has calmed down, she doesn't quite understand why she was busy explaining and why she was so flustered.
Was it because she was afraid that Jiang Lan would misunderstand her? Or was it because she felt guilty for making him unhappy after helping her so much? "Because it was me who made you angry, so I need to explain to you and calm you down." After thinking for a while, Ling Zhuyun frowned and said.
"Then after you explain it, I won't be angry?" Jiang Lan looked at her and asked calmly.
Ling Zhuyun was stumped by this question.
But years of experience have taught her that it won't happen.
Just like her, after being scolded by her master because of some problems in her practice, even if the master later explained why he scolded her, the depressed and angry emotions in her heart would not be relieved at all.
Unless the master comes down the mountain and brings her some small items that she is interested in, such as some jade hairpins, earrings, etc.
"Saint Zhuyun, why are you being so hard on yourself? We have only known each other in the true sense for a day or two."
"You care so much about my feelings, could it be that you like me?" Jiang Lan asked.
Ling Zhuyun was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think seriously before shaking her head and saying, "Probably not. Mr. Jiang, your charm is not that great."
"So you were just panicking and eager to explain because you felt guilty towards me, but I'm not interested in your explanation at all." Jiang Lan said lightly.
Ling Zhuyun was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true, but something was wrong.
If I just felt guilty, I wouldn't have been so flustered when I saw him walk away...
"Come with me."
Jiang Lan seemed helpless. He waved his hand and asked Li Daoyi, Ao Xu and others to wait where they were.
Ling Zhuyun stared at him in a daze before she realized his actions. Her ears felt hot and he pulled her hand back and took her to a side hall nearby.
"Mr. Jiang..."
She tried to speak.
"Don't bite me." Jiang Lan didn't intend to give her a chance to speak.
"Um?"
Ling Zhuyun was a little confused. Not allowed to bite him? What did that mean? The next moment, she suddenly felt the veil on her face disappear. Then she saw Jiang Lan holding her face with both hands, and that handsome face bit her.
Ling Zhuyun's autumn-water eyes widened immediately, and a slight cry came out of her shiny and radiant lips.
“Hmm…”
Her flawless, fair face seemed to be instantly dyed with the sunset glow, and even her crystal clear ears turned bright red.
After realizing what was happening, Ling Zhuyun wanted to push Jiang Lan away.
Jiang Lan, however, stepped back before her and stood about ten feet away.
"you……"
Ling Zhuyun had never expected Jiang Lan to do this suddenly. She looked at him with shame and anger, her full and well-proportioned chest heaving slightly.
She reached out and touched her moist and tender red lips, staring at Jiang Lan, then calmed herself down and put the veil back on.
"You don't have to explain anymore. I'm not angry anymore." Jiang Lan said.
"I……"
Ling Zhuyun was a little angry and ashamed, but she couldn't think of any words to scold him for a long time.
The explanation I had just thought of was completely disrupted.
"What's wrong with you? Do you want to kill me with one sword? To avenge the frivolous behavior just now?" Jiang Lan asked.
"I don't."
Ling Zhuyun turned her head away.
This was the first time she had encountered such a thing in her life. Logically, she should have been very angry and killed him with one sword.
But she didn't have such emotion. She only felt ashamed and angry as if she had been bullied by him. Her delicate hands clenched tightly between her sleeves and then loosened.
"So you don't have to feel guilty and want to make it up to me."
"If you feel that's not enough, then I can give you my body as a pledge."
Jiang Lan said casually, smacking his lips lightly, savoring the taste just now.
"Mr. Jiang, you are so childish."
Seeing his action, Ling Zhuyun clenched her hands again, and her misty eyes could not hide her shame and anger.
"Anyway, you feel guilty towards me, and you don't dare to kill me. If I make some excessive requests, will you agree to them?"
Jiang Lan seemed not to see the shame and anger in her eyes, and instead asked very seriously.
"There's no way I'll agree to that." Ling Zhuyun's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Jiang Lan smiled and said, "I don't believe it. How can I know if I don't try it..."
"..." Ling Zhuyun looked at him, her clenched jade hands seeming to want to hit him a few times.
By the time she left the side hall and followed Jiang Lan out, she had regained her composure, and there was no sign of any emotion on her face beneath the veil.
Li Daoyi, Ao Xu and others were waiting not far away, and they were tactful enough not to look over here.
Although it was rumored that Jiang Lan had a bad reputation and was a person who indulged in sensual pleasures and did nothing, as they followed him along the way, they developed a feeling that he was unpredictable and unfathomable.
Moreover, even Ling Zhuyun, a woman who was considered transcendent and holy by the world, seemed to be involved in an unclear relationship with him.
Although they didn't know what the two had experienced outside the secret realm, they could see that Ling Zhuyun seemed to care a lot about Jiang Lan?
"The people of the Blood Immortal Cult are becoming more and more unscrupulous."
Not long after leaving the Taoist temple, Jiang Lan and his companions encountered several monks, all of whom were injured and looked terrified, running away from not far away.
While they were exploring various caves, they were attacked by people from the Blood Immortal Sect and many of their companions died.
As the news spread, many members of the Blood Immortal Sect became unscrupulous and took the initiative to reveal their whereabouts.
They even deliberately left bait around some caves to attract other cultivators to come and fight for them, and then take action to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Ling Zhuyun felt heavy-hearted as she watched these tragic scenes.
Although she tried her best to believe in Ye Ling's innocence, she couldn't help but waver at this moment.
When she first learned from Ye Ming that True Lord Zixia's cave was about to be unveiled, there was no relevant news outside.
Not long after Ye Ming told her the news, news about Master Zixia's cave residence flooded the counties.
Is it really such a coincidence? ...
Although the people of the Blood Immortal Sect were hiding in the secret realm, waiting for an opportunity to make a move, the depths of the ancient medicine garden were still in chaos, and shocking battles broke out in many places.
At first everyone could still hold back, but when they saw those more precious medicinal kings growing everywhere in the nearby medicinal soil, no one could turn a blind eye anymore and they began to fight for them.
Some older monks with extraordinary vision set their eyes on the spiritual soil in the ancient medicine garden and tried to take it away.
Such an action undoubtedly angered the monsters guarding the place.
The bloody battle that broke out caused chaos in the area and some of the surrounding hills collapsed.
During this period, a monk noticed that there was a thatched cottage deep in the ancient medicine garden.
It is adjacent to an ancient forest, backed by a stone cliff, and a small pavilion is faintly visible in the middle of the lake.
From a distance, the island is lush with vegetation, surrounded by green clouds, and the whole island is full of brilliance.
Many rocks seem to be carved from jade, with mist surging and a fairy-like charm.
Among them stands a square bluestone stele with three ancient characters "Guiyuanju" on it. Behind it is an open back mountain with undulating mountains and peaks.
Of course, the most important thing is that some cultivators saw a vague shadow of a Taoist sitting cross-legged in the thatched cottage.
The Dao rhythm is intertwined around him, just like a living person.
Some people even heard him sigh, "May I ask the heavens, is there immortality?"
The older generation of monks who rushed over and saw this scene said frankly that it was the shadow of True Lord Zixia from ancient times, who had sat cross-legged here and asked questions for a long time.
The Tao rhyme left behind has not dissipated, and it has condensed into an obsession with his figure in this world.
Many monks who heard the news rushed there. Some of them bravely stepped forward, kowtowed outside the thatched cottage as a disciple, and then asked questions and requested for the Dharma.
I thought this was just an absurd wish, but I never expected that the phantom would actually give me some pointers and bestow a Taoist method.
Once the news came out, it quickly caused a huge sensation in the secret realm.
There is no chance or fortune that can compare to the personal guidance of Master Zixia across the ages.
For a moment, streaks of divine light flew forward.
Outside the thatched hut, there were many figures kneeling and bowing their heads, all of them coming to seek the Dharma.
Faced with this scene, the obsessive shadow of True Lord Zixia did not care about the surprise, and was extremely calm from beginning to end, and then spoke frankly.
He once carried out a piece of chaotic stone wall from Kunlun Immortal Ruins, and the chaotic energy in it had long been refined and expelled by him.
The remaining stone wall is located in the back mountain. It records a kind of heavenly skill called the Four Ancient Heavenly Skills of the Saints. Its origin is so ancient that it is impossible to trace it.
When the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills are practiced to perfection, one can obtain the protection of the Four Saints, just like an ancient emperor descending to the earth, speaking the laws of heaven, with unparalleled divine power and being invincible.
Anyone who is predestined can go to the stone wall to gain enlightenment. Even if only one saint recognizes it, it is still a great opportunity.
After saying these words, the phantom obsession of True Lord Zixia sighed softly, looked towards the sky, and slowly dissipated.
All the cultivators and living beings were in a state of panic, and they quickly rushed towards the stone wall at the back of the mountain, wanting to comprehend the so-called Four Sages Ancient Heavenly Skills as soon as possible.
Even True Lord Zixia personally approved of it, which was enough to show the power and mystery of the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills.
The sensation caused by this news was no less than the previous appearance of Zixia Zhenjun's cave.
Many cultivators put down what they were doing and rushed to the depths of the ancient medicine garden.
"The Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills?"
After Jiang Lan got the news, he was not actually surprised, because there was indeed such a plot in the original story, but no one had obtained the complete Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills.
At present, he was leading his men to the ancient medicine garden. After all, the real secret palace was located there.
He planned to take the token and take what he wanted first.
In addition, the most important show is about to begin. After the news comes out, Ye Ming will definitely not be able to hold back and will rush there.
Li Daoyi, Ao Xu, Luo Ying and others were also quite amazed at the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills.
However, this kind of opportunity can only rely on one's own luck. If they get it, it is their fate and luck, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will not force them to give it up.
"In the original plot, in addition to the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Arts, when night falls in the secret realm, a natural treasure may appear in the center of the lake, called the Glazed Seven-Leaf Lotus."
"The Glazed Seven-Leaf Lotus is of no use to me at the moment, but it will be of great benefit to a young genius like Li Mengning."
Jiang Lan recalled the relevant plot to make sure nothing was missed.
For fixed opportunities like rare treasures, it is unlikely that accidents will occur due to changes in the plot.
He planned to let Li Mengning wait in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. After all, with her strength, no one could snatch her away.
As for Li Daoyi, Ao Xu and others, he was too lazy to care about them. Whether they could get the opportunity at that time depended on their luck.
…
"Where exactly is the cave residence of True Lord Zixia located?"
On the top of a mountain, Taoist Zixia had a gloomy face. After failing to hunt down Ye Ming, he focused all his attention on finding the cave abode of Taoist Zixia.
It’s a pity that in such a big temple, there is not a single place that is right.
Instead, some crude caves were revealed.
But it is obvious that these are all places where ordinary cultivators who used to live here lived and practiced, and have nothing to do with the cave of True Lord Zixia at all.
Fortunately, now that he has learned about the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skill, he has other plans.
"I want to refine the real Zixia Pill, so I must have the Zixia Pill Fire that True Lord Zixia once left behind. The most important pill fire was left in that pill furnace, but it was unfortunately taken away by that little thief named Ye..."
"Relying on the support of the Blood Immortal Cult, he has no scruples. How despicable."
Taoist Zixia had a cold face as he sat cross-legged here. Then streams of blood spurted out of his mouth, he muttered something, and runes flashed.
Then he carefully took out a wooden box, and all his blood and essence turned into blood mist, which seeped in with a "whoosh" sound.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
After a moment, the wooden box opened, and a wisp of green smoke like a wronged ghost floated out. Its face was as ugly as a baby, with bared teeth and claws, and it made a heart-wrenching and chilling cry.
"Even if that little thief changes his appearance, I will use this blood infant technique to catch him."
Taoist Zixia's face suddenly looked much older at this moment.
This is a secret method that uses longevity as its source, and even he doesn't dare to use it easily.
But for the sake of his plan of many years, he had to spend a lot of money to catch Ye Ming and take back his alchemy furnace.
Soon, the wisp of green smoke, like a wronged soul, turned into a faint light and disappeared into the void.
Taoist Zixia also quickly left the hilltop and turned back towards the ancient medicine garden.
At the same time, Ye Ming, who had changed his appearance again, was in a cave, cleaning up the many talismans and magical instruments left in it.
A faint light flickered on the surface of his palm.
The old ghost's voice then emerged, with a hint of shock and emotion.
"The Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Art? I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of True Lord Zixia. This is something I could never have anticipated."
"Boy, don't do anything now, just go there quickly. If you can obtain the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills, it will be more important than any chance or good fortune you have."
"Even if you can't get the recognition of the four saints, getting the recognition of one of them is a great fortune. It will make your future practice more efficient."
"Is the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skill really that powerful?" Ye Ming asked in surprise.
The old ghost explained, "You only need to know that the so-called Four Saints represent the four most powerful creatures in ancient times. To be precise, the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Art should be called the Four Spirits Ancient Heavenly Art. They are the first group of powerful creatures to appear since the birth of the world."
"True Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, each Holy Spirit represents the most powerful means in a certain field."
"The Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Art is said to have been created by an ancient emperor who once left a mark of immortality between heaven and earth. Now, apart from the top Taoist sects, there is almost no other art that can rival it in the land of Jiuzhou."
Ye Ming's heart was shaken, his gaze became hot, and his eyes flashed with brilliance.
"Can I get the recognition of the Four Spirits?" he murmured.
The old ghost said, "It all depends on one's fate, but you are very lucky and blessed, so there is a high probability that you will be recognized by him."
"I see."
Ye Ming took a deep breath, nodded, and clenched his fists. Although the cave had not been completely cleaned yet, he could no longer care about it.
He immediately turned into a stream of light and left the place, then turned back and rushed to the area of the ancient medicine garden.
Because he was inexplicably implicated in the Blood Immortal Sect, he has become a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect who is hated by everyone here.
So he had to change his appearance and blend into the secret realm under another guise.
During this period, he often heard monks scolding him and trying to find out his true identity, and he was attacked by some of them for this.
Ye Ming was feeling upset and angry. He didn't know what was going on. He had inexplicably become a remnant of the Blood Immortal Cult.
Even Ling Zhuyun said in public that if she saw that he was really colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect, she would kill him with her own hands and show no mercy.
Even Lao Gui didn't know why Ye Ming was suddenly pushed to the forefront.
Fortunately, his previous name, Ye Ling, was just a pseudonym. Now that he has changed his face, basically no one can recognize him.
"You don't have to worry about the Blood Immortal Cult. After all, you have done things right and you are upright. Once the storm passes, you will naturally find a way to clear your name."
"However, the best way is to find out who is behind the framing of you and wants to kill you." The old ghost also knew that Ye Ming was irritable at the moment, so he spoke to comfort him.
Ye Ming said irritably, "It might be Qi Heng, the true disciple of the Human King Palace, who deliberately threw dirty water and framed me. He really deserves to die."
"When I entered the Zixia Mountains, I felt that guy had bad intentions, but I didn't expect that he would even risk his own future to drag me down with him."
Qi Heng swore in public with his Daoist heart that he had seen him planning with the people from the Blood Immortal Sect, and was called senior brother.
This action caused an uproar, and Ye Ming was speechless.
After all, Qi Heng had sworn an oath with his heart. How could such a vicious oath be false? Who would believe his explanation? Who would give him a chance to explain? But he knew very well that he had never come into contact with the people of the Blood Immortal Sect. At most, he had been to some of the ruins of the Blood Immortal Sect before and wanted to obtain their inheritance.
"There is indeed something wrong here. Why is Qi Heng so cruel and swearing on his Dao heart to lie?"
"He really hates you to the core." The old ghost smiled.
Ye Ming snorted coldly and said, "That guy was just jealous and dissatisfied because he saw that I was favored by Zhu Yun. He even spoke out in public and falsely accused Zhu Yun of colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect. It was really too much."
"Fortunately, Zhu Yun has always believed in me..."
When he said the last sentence, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a curve, a little relieved, and of course more happy.
Even in this situation where he was doubted by the world, Ling Zhuyun was still willing to believe him.
This kind of trust naturally made him feel happy.
"Logically speaking, if you are suspected of being a remnant of the Blood Immortal Cult, then Ling Zhuyun should also be suspected, but now she has been cleared of all charges..."
Upon hearing this, the old ghost sneered meaningfully.
Ye Ming paused, and explained for Ling Zhuyun, "She is the saint of Yao Chi Sect. She is different from me who is alone. For the sake of the sect behind her, she has no choice."
"Let's not talk about Ling Zhuyun. The most dangerous guy on this journey is obviously Jiang Lan. But now there is no news related to him. This is something that puzzles me."
Lao Gui changed the subject. If he continued talking about Ling Zhuyun, Ye Ming would probably start arguing with him.
"That guy is hiding so deeply, how could anyone pay attention to him?"
"But what you said, Old Ghost, makes me a little suspicious. Jiang Lan appeared on the Bloody Plateau that day just to condense a weapon, and he made such a big fuss."
"Then why is he here now? Is it for the inheritance of True Lord Zixia? But I feel that with that guy's strength, he shouldn't care too much about these inheritance items."
"Do you think he is the one who has been planning all this behind the scenes? Since he has appeared in the Blood Plateau, there is no guarantee that he does not have the inheritance of the Blood Immortal Sect in his hands."
Ye Ming frowned, very confused about this. Of course, this was just his guess.
The old ghost remained silent upon hearing this. Ye Ming's premonitions have always been very accurate, but now he is just a remnant soul, and it is difficult for him to sense anything.
But Jiang Lan had indeed hidden himself too deeply. Until now, the number of people who knew his true strength was probably no more than a handful.
It has always been a mystery what his cultivation level is, what realm he is in, and what his true strength is.
"You'd better hope that your premonition is wrong this time, otherwise the consequences... will be disastrous."
He also felt a little heavy in his heart.
Combined with the fact that Ye Ming was suddenly regarded as a remnant of the Blood Immortal Cult, it seemed that there was an invisible net that was covering him.
In the secret realm, night has already fallen, but deep in the ancient medicine garden, there is still a scene of chaos and turmoil.
In many medicinal gardens, mist was billowing, and one could see the monks fighting and struggling, as well as the roars of monsters, which were engaged in fierce battles with these alien creatures.
There were many figures around the thatched cottage, and many of them had gone to the stone cliff in the back mountain under the cover of night.
A huge and ancient stone wall stands there, giving off an air of vicissitudes of life and wildness, and it seems as if a mixture of immortal charm and Taoist ideas are interwoven.
It seems to have completely merged with the entire cliff.
But no one could come close.
The stone wall was filled with a heavy and powerful pressure. It was difficult for any living creature to get close within a radius of ten feet. If one wanted to observe, they could only stand and watch from a distance.
Many young people who came here gathered here, either sitting cross-legged or frowning in deep thought.
There are also more people who are using secret techniques and various means to deduce and survey, trying to find out the secret of the stone wall.
But the stone wall is still a stone wall, simple and dark, without any patterns, only traces of the passage of time.
The exposed rocks near the ground are covered with vines and mosses. If they appeared in the outside world, no one would pay much attention to them.
"A pure and kind person like True Lord Zixia will definitely not deceive us."
"It's just that we are short-sighted and can't see the wonder of this stone wall. It has nothing to do with the Four Saints Ancient Heavenly Skills."
Some monks who arrived early and sat cross-legged here for a whole day sighed, looking helpless.
Some people stared at the stone wall intently, their eyes turned red and bloodshot.
Unfortunately, I still didn’t see anything. No matter how I looked at it, it was just an ordinary stone wall.
Apart from the overwhelming sense of oppression, there was no other aura.
Despite this, a large number of monks still arrived and began to occupy advantageous positions. They did not give up and observed carefully.
Someone's forehead and cheekbones were glowing, and he tried to use the secret method of the soul to let the spiritual consciousness spread over, but soon he let out a muffled groan, his body trembled, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
"I don't believe it. I want to see how strong the pressure here is. Why won't they let me get closer?"
At this time, a young genius who had been sitting there for a whole day could no longer bear the pain of waiting, so he stood up and shouted angrily, trying to force his way in.
The divine light in his eyes surged, and his whole body was shrouded in hazy golden light. Like a god in the scorching sun, he rushed directly towards the stone wall in front of him.
At the same time, he made a move with his hand, and a blood-red spear appeared. The void trembled, as if it had drunk the blood of countless lives.
The air was filled with murderous energy, causing all the cultivators here to change color and feel terrified.
The next moment, the void shook violently, and the young man swung his spear, but the whole person flew out in an instant, spitting blood from his mouth, and fell far away.
"This stone wall is so weird? We can't get close to it, touch it, or even attack it?"
Ye Ming, who had rushed here, happened to see this scene and was extremely surprised.
But he quickly collected his thoughts and walked forward, intending to find a good position to see if he could observe anything.
Just after Ye Ming arrived here, he was concentrating on staring at the stone wall.
There was a boiling and heated discussion coming from not far away. He looked up, and his pupils shrank and trembled.
His breathing became unsteady and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
A slender and graceful figure in a snow-white dress stood there, her face covered with a veil, her long black hair fluttering in the wind. The moonlight was dim and there was a glow in the distance. She was cold and aloof, like the legendary moon fairy.
Next to him, shoulder to shoulder, stood a man in white, handsome and unparalleled, with a smile on his face, as if he was talking to her.
From this perspective, the two seem like a perfect match, extremely well-matched.
It was Jiang Lan and Ling Zhuyun.
Behind Jiang Lan, Li Daoyi, Ao Xu and others arrived and found a place to sit cross-legged, observing the stone wall in various ways.
"Why is Zhu Yun and Jiang Lan together? And they are so close?"
"What happened between her and Jiang Lan during my absence? Why did she get so close to him without any hesitation?"
Looking at this scene, Ye Ming's mood could not calm down, and he felt unhappy and irritated in his heart.
When he and Ling Zhuyun were alone, he always observed etiquette. He was worried that she would be unhappy, so he kept a certain distance when talking and never got so close to her.
From his direction, it even looked like Jiang Lan and Ling Zhuyun were standing side by side, huddled together.
This made Ye Ming very unwilling. The saint whom he had always admired and whom he dared not have any blasphemous intentions towards was now walking so closely with another man.
"Zhu Yun was probably deceived by Jiang Lan in some way."
"There's no way she would get so close to him for no reason."
Ye Ming was determined. Although he was in a very upset mood, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down, not letting himself show any unnecessary abnormality.
His identity cannot be revealed at the moment, so many questions can only be buried deep in his heart and it is not easy to ask Ling Zhuyun.
And just when Ye Ming was feeling confused.
The stone wall, which was originally dark and ancient, suddenly seemed to have a strange wave spreading out, shocking all the monks around it.
Including Ye Ming, everyone had to look carefully and saw that the stone wall there was shaking slightly, and some mud and dust attached to the surface began to fall off.
Layer after layer of stone skin fell off, and a faint light burst out.
The next moment, a radiance that reached the sky emerged, and the shadows of the Vermillion Bird, the True Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger condensed one after another, instantly piercing through the dark sky.
The light was so bright that it transformed into the four sacred beasts, shining in the night sky, instantly making the area as bright as day.
