Chapter 3 Demon Spirit Palace

Tantai Qingrun's statement is undoubtedly the most reasonable explanation.

The Zhenjiang prefecture mobilized more than half of the power of the Qingzhou prefecture to plan a chaos of corpse puppets, but they still had to swallow their breath and endure it silently for a hundred years.

The Lingxu Building, which occupies the right time and place, has repeatedly suffered setbacks in the century-old struggle with the underworld. If there are no other forces behind it to help, then wouldn't the Zhishou Building be a joke?

"Have you investigated the movements of the forces in the Lingxu Mansion in recent years?" Lu Qingshan asked.

"Naturally, I've been doing this for most of the past six months." Tantai Qingrun nodded, pointing to the dazzling array of jade slips on the table and said: "What is recorded in these jade slips is that the Lingxu mansion can rank first." The big and small things that have happened to the Zongmen family in the past hundred years."

"Didn't find the problem?" Lu Qingshan asked.

Tantai Qingrun shook his head, "Among these pieces of information, I haven't found any information with any flaws yet."

"This way..." Lu Qingshan thoughtfully, walked to the desk, and roughly flipped through the jade slips.

Tantai Qingrun stood aside quietly, silently watching Lu Qingshan scan one jade slip after another very quickly, falling into deep thought from time to time.

after a long time.

Lu Qingshan has already counted all these complicated information.

For a monk, it is not difficult to remember this information, but the difficulty is how to filter out the key information from the vast amount of information.

Swish! Swish!

However, Lu Qingshan already showed a confident expression, with a sweep of his spiritual power, the two jades hung in front of Tantai Qingrun.

"Look at the information recorded in these two jade slips." Lu Qingshan said.

Tantai Qingrun raised her eyebrows, she couldn't believe that Lu Qingshan was able to find out the problem that he spent half a year failing to find out in this short half day.

She took the two jade slips and penetrated them with her spiritual sense.

"In the 19945th year of Chang'an, Master Yuedie, the second elder of the Poison Butterfly Sect, entered the Yaoling Mountain Range to search for medicine, and has since disappeared."

"In the 19947th year of Chang'an, the young master of Shuiyue Castle entered the Demon Spirit Mountain Range and fell into the Demon Spirit Mountain Range."

"...."

In the first jade slip, there is a long list of monks who died in the Yaoling Mountains from various forces in the Lingxu Mansion over the years.

The second jade slip recorded a very brief message.

"In the 19975th year of Chang'an, the Yaoling Palace announced to the outside world that the Yaoling Mountain Range will be sealed off for fifty years."

Tantai Qingrun raised his head and looked at Lu Qingshan with doubtful eyes.

The Yaoling Mountain Range is a primitive mountain range that occupies a huge area, in which there are countless monsters. When monks break into it, they encounter ferocious monsters and lose their lives. This kind of thing happens all the time in the world of monks. It is not surprising. place.

"During this time, Master Tantai has repeatedly checked the human forces in Lingxu Mansion, trying to find any sects that may be in collusion with the underworld, but found nothing.

Tantai landlord, have you ever thought that there is such a possibility.

It's not that you haven't discovered the problem, but that the problematic force is simply not within the scope of your investigation. "Lu Qingshan said softly.

"However, I have already included all the powerful sect families in Lingxu Mansion. If those small forces are not worth mentioning, how much help can they provide to the underworld?" Tantai Qingrun retorted subconsciously.

"Are you sure you have counted all the big forces in Lingxu Mansion?" Lu Qingshan asked back.

Tantai Qingrun was taken aback for a moment, but was stopped by Lu Qingshan's question.

"You just counted all the human forces." Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a ray of light flashed through them.

Qin Yutian, who was witnessing the whole process from the side, also realized something at this time, and nodded thoughtfully, but although she already had the answer in her heart, she did not interrupt Lu Qingshan and Tantai Qingrun's conversation rashly.

"There is another faction that can be called the top three in terms of comprehensive strength in Lingxu Mansion, but you have ignored it." Lu Qingshan said lightly.

"You mean,

Demon Spirit Palace? ! " Tantai Qingrun was startled, and understood Lu Qingshan's meaning.

In terms of combat power alone, the Yaoling Palace may even be the best among all the sects in the Lingxu Palace.

But Tantai Qingrun never suspected the Yaoling Palace from the beginning to the end, let alone investigated them.

It's not because Tantai Qingrun is confused, it's just because, as the name suggests, the Yaoling Palace is a demon clan force!

In fact, the monster race is all over the territory of the human race, and it is not inferior to the human race in terms of strength alone.

However, due to the wildness of monsters and their races, most monsters generally do not communicate with each other. At most, they are like the dragon monster king, who leads his own race to occupy the mountain as king, and only a very small number of people can form forces. .

And the Yaoling Palace is the only Yaozu faction in Qingzhou.

The first palace lord of the Demon Spirit Palace was a monster Geng Jin Tiger King at the peak of the fifth rank.

It is said that this Gengjin Tiger King has a trace of the weak blood of the ancient spirit beast White Tiger in his body, so his combat power is extraordinary. He unified Qingzhou's demon clan that had been divided for tens of thousands of years, and established the Demon Spirit Palace, dominating the Qingzhou area and wreaking havoc for thousands of years.

Until a thousand years later, the Gengjin Tiger King was unable to break through to the sixth-rank realm for a long time, and the deadline had come, so he fell.

After the Gengjin Tiger King passed away, most of the wild and unruly monsters quickly left the Demon Spirit Palace because there was no absolute powerhouse to crush them in the Demon Spirit Palace, leaving only a very small part of the monsters willing to stay in the palace. In the Demon Spirit Palace, the inheritance of the Demon Spirit Palace continues.

And after the Yaoling Palace fell apart, its sphere of influence also began to shrink sharply.

From all over Qingzhou in the heyday, to now, it can only linger on the Yaoling Mountains occupying the junction of the three mansions of Lingxu Mansion, Yanxi Mansion and Changyang Mansion.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In terms of top combat power alone, no single sect or force in the Lingxu Mansion can defeat the Yaoling Palace.

"If there is a sect that hooks up with the underworld, it will definitely gain some benefits from the underworld. On the bright side, it is impossible to be calm.

But in the past hundred years, none of the top-ranked human forces in the Lingxu Mansion has risen suddenly, or made any unusual big moves, which are not in line with what you think. "Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice: "But there is such a demon spirit palace, but it has been constantly moving in recent years.

First, the death rate of the human monks who entered the Yaoling Mountain Range began to increase sharply. Later, the Yaoling Palace even directly blocked the Yaoling Mountain Range from the outside world like never before. "

The area of ​​the Yaoling Mountain Range is extremely large, and even the Yaoling Palace only controls the core of the Yaoling Mountain Range.

Generally speaking, except for the core area, the Demon Spirit Mountain Range does not prohibit monks from entering.

But it happened that in the past hundred years, bloody crimes continued in the Yaoling Mountain Range, and the number of monks who entered or died or disappeared increased by dozens of times.

Later, the Yaoling Palace even announced that the Yaoling Mountain Range was sealed off.

Given the size of the Yaoling Mountain Range, how could it be possible for the Yaoling Palace to be completely sealed off? This remark seems to be just to deter the human monks who want to enter the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.

After carefully thinking about the abnormal behavior of Yaoling Palace, Tantai Qingrun murmured: "In this way, it seems to be a bit too coincidental."

The actions of the Yaoling Palace in the past century are quite big, and Tantai Qingrun is naturally aware of it.

But because the Yaoling Palace is not a human power, this problem was subconsciously ignored by Tantai Qingrun.

But after thinking about it carefully, Tantai Qingrun suddenly realized that under the circumstances of subconscious troubles, he got into a dead end.

Why can't the underworld cooperate with the Yaozu?
