Chapter 228 Su Yiren takes action (thanks to the book friend Xitang for the reward)
"There's someone else?!" The county magistrate, the head of the Mo family, and the followers of the Jiuyou Sect were all shocked. They claimed to be the chess manipulators who controlled everything in secret, so how come they were being controlled by others now?
Who is in the dark?
They used various means.
The county magistrate tried to move the chains hidden on his back, but no matter how hard he tried, the chains seemed to be nailed to the space on his back and did not move at all.
The head of the Mo family has tattoos of eighteen kinds of weapons on both arms. These are actually the eighteen weapons he personally refined. In the past, these weapons were invincible, but now, these weapons have become dormant and none of them can be mobilized.
The followers of Jiuyou Sect tried to summon the ghostly shadows hidden in their bodies. Those ghostly shadows seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying, and were hiding in their bodies, trembling.
The three of them realized that the person who made the move was not simple. This ability to ignore reality and change local rules at will... is he in the Fusion Stage? !
Are all disciples of the Daodao Sect so extravagant when they go out, accompanied by powerful people in the Fusion Stage? The county governor and the head of the Mo family regretted it in their hearts. How could they cause so much trouble just by stealing a Phoenix Blood Stone, and it involved the Nine Nether Sect and the Fusion Stage.
When Meng Jingzhou saw Su Yiren finally take action, he was so scared that he quickly stood up, ran away, and begged Su Yiren for protection.
He was the only one who could move in the room.
Lu Yang whispered to Li Haoran: "If they force you, you won't be able to resist, so just give in."
"This way she can only get me, but not my heart!" Li Haoran responded sternly, but he was actually worried.
Su Yiren is gentle and generous, like a considerate older sister. If you really obey her, it doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Su Yiren pushed open the door and looked at the three people she had pinned down. Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou and Li Haoran followed behind Su Yiren, feeling extremely safe.
"I didn't expect that, County Magistrate Shi, you not only colluded with the Phoenix Clan, but also colluded with the Jiuyou Sect. Your crimes are so heinous that I have recorded them all with the Photo Ball!" Lu Yang came up and made false accusations and framed him.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that." The county magistrate's face changed.
"Oh, yes, yes, he is the one who colluded with the Phoenix Clan and the Jiuyou Sect. I can testify to that." The head of the Mo family would take advantage of others' misfortunes whenever he had the chance.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lu Yang, a disciple of the Daoist Sect."
"Meng Jingzhou, I am a disciple of the Daoist sect."
"Li Haoran, a disciple of the Daoist sect."
Su Yiren didn't say anything. She was easy to talk to in front of Li Haoran, but not in front of outsiders.
"I originally wanted to see what secrets this Phoenix Blood Stone had, but I didn't expect to catch such a big fish."
Lu Yang took off the mask of the Jiuyou Sect member, and the other person looked ordinary.
"You just said that you wanted to refine the phoenix into a corpse puppet. Tell me what happened and I can spare your life." This was no small matter. The corpse of a phoenix in the fusion stage was right under his feet. Let alone refining it into a corpse puppet, even if the phoenix turned over, it would be a disaster for Luofeng County.
The county magistrate also looked unhappy. If the Jiuyou Sect succeeded, his career as county magistrate would be over.
The Nine Netherworld Cult members laughed loudly: "How can I survive after being discovered by you?"
"Senior Su, please search his soul." Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, Lu Yang directly asked Su Yiren to take action.
Su Yiren stepped forward, pressed the Nine Nether Sect member's forehead, and frowned: "He is not a human, he is a corpse!"
The Jiuyou Sect followers had lifeless eyes and their bodies quickly decayed, leaving only a pile of bones.
This is a common method used by the Jiuyou Sect. They let the corpse move while the main body controls it from behind the scenes. Once discovered, they cut off the connection with the corpse and the corpse will quickly rot, leaving no clues, making it very difficult to catch them. However, the people present did not know much about the Jiuyou Sect.
"Want to run?"
Su Yiren made another move, using her power at the fusion stage to cover the entire Luofeng County with rules, preventing insects from entering and birds from leaving. She was determined to find the people from the Jiuyou Sect.
Controlling corpses also has a range, so the other party cannot escape from Luofeng County.
There is a huge gap between us in realms, and it would be too embarrassing to let the other party escape.
It doesn't matter if I lose face, but I can't lose face in front of Li Haoran! She opened her spiritual sense and scanned every inch of Luofeng County.
It stands to reason that a casual cultivator in the fusion stage using his spiritual sense to casually scan the city is a provocation to the Great Xia Dynasty, but there are reasons for it, and no one will hold Su Yiren responsible.
“Found it!”
Su Yiren quickly used her spiritual sense to lock onto several suspicious monks. Those suspicious monks had unknown restrictions on their bodies, and once they were fixed by Su Yiren, they died instantly.
"So cruel?"
The county governor's face was livid: "I heard that the Jiuyou Sect believes in the existence of the Jiuyou. Death is just a reincarnation for them and is not scary. So the Jiuyou Sect is a group of desperate criminals and very dangerous!"
Su Yiren used her spiritual sense to discover that there were formations hidden in the dry wells of many wealthy families. They were linked together very tightly, covering the entire formation. This should be the formation for refining the phoenix.
“No, the Nine Nether Sect members who died suddenly had not reached the God Transformation Stage, and the real controller has not been found yet!” Su Yiren realized that those who died suddenly were all subordinates of the person behind the scenes.
"Down there, in the corpse of the Phoenix!" The first thing Lu Yang thought of was that the old Phoenix was in the fusion stage when he was alive, and the corpse of a person in the fusion stage could block the scanning of spiritual consciousness of the same level.
Su Yiren also thought of this, but she did not move.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Senior Su, what's wrong?" Lu Yang was puzzled. Drilling the ground shouldn't be difficult for a fusion stage? A fusion stage doesn't know a few small spells of drilling the ground?
"That's right, Senior Su, please go down quickly. If the Jiuyou Sect refines the Phoenix, Luofeng County will be in danger." Li Haoran also urged.
Su Yiren thought about the wording and said, "My method...may be different from what you think."
Su Yiren took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Things had come to this point and she couldn't pretend to be a lady anymore.
She clenched her fist and punched the ground, creating a deep hole as wide as a person, then jumped down and burrowed underground.
Lu Yang and the other two widened their eyes and swallowed their saliva. Senior Su Yiren’s methods… seemed inconsistent with her weak appearance.
They suddenly remembered a problem that had been ignored before.
"What kind of training is she good at?"
Meng Jingzhou looked at the big hole and it looked familiar. How come this method was similar to his master's? The three of them looked at each other, and absurd guesses appeared in their minds: "Su Yiren...could she be a physical cultivator?"
I saw a phoenix with bright red feathers lying quietly on the ground, as if it had just died. Suddenly, the formations left by the Jiuyou Sect on the ground were activated one after another. The phoenix's eyes lit up with green light, like jade, and the phoenix true flame burned around it, burning the entire underground into a hole.
"Since we've been discovered by you, let's just fight to the death!" Phoenix echoed the voice of the Jiuyou Sect follower, his voice was hoarse and crazy.
That being said, the followers of the Jiuyou Sect felt extremely regretful in their hearts.
Set up a formation, steal a piece of phoenix blood stone, revive the phoenix, and overthrow Luofeng County. What a perfect plan, simple and easy to operate, without loopholes, and will not be discovered.
How to steal a Phoenix Blood Stone when there is a cultivator in the fusion stage guarding it.
Is your Phoenix Blood Stone so valuable? Huh? "Although we can't revive the Phoenix in its prime in such a hurry, it's more than enough to overthrow Luofeng County!" At this point, the Nine Nether Sect members couldn't care less.
"I know you are in the Fusion Stage, but so what? Are you a formation cultivator or a talisman cultivator? It doesn't matter. Before you completely stop the Phoenix's activities, it will be enough for me to destroy Luofeng County several times!"
The phoenix was wrapped in true flames and crying in the underground cave. It spread its wings, carrying with it endless destructive power, as if it was reborn from the fire.
The followers of Jiuyou Sect were about to control the phoenix to soar into the sky, but they found that the phoenix could not fly at all.
"What's going on?"
He used his spiritual sense to explore the outside world and found that Su Yiren was holding the phoenix's beak with one hand, so that no matter how the phoenix flapped its wings, it could not fly even an inch.
"Fly?" A sneer appeared on Su Yiren's pretty face. She pinched the phoenix's beak with one hand and threw it down hard, smashing the phoenix to the ground.
The county magistrate and the head of the Mo family brought Lu Yang and the other two down from the dug tunnel, just in time to see Su Yiren throwing the phoenix away, a scene full of beauty and violence.
Li Haoran swallowed hard. If he got married, would he still have a chance to survive?
