Chapter 718 The Conspiracy of the Corpse, Tracing the Roots
Now that Zhou Yang has been persuaded to agree to accept the witch Huanqianqian as his servant, the next thing will be easy.
Witnessed by Nie Yushuang himself, Zhou Yang first made a Taoist oath to reassure him, and then Nie Yushuang avoided the taboo and went out. Zhou Yang and Huanqianqian were alone in the room, and with their active cooperation, they performed the secret technique of "Soul Seizing Dafa" .
Although it was the first time to perform this secret technique, and although he hadn't put much effort into comprehending this technique before, Zhou Yang succeeded because of the active cooperation of Huanqianqian who knew this technique.
After the success of the secret technique, Zhou Yang felt that he had an extremely close connection with Huanqianqian's soul. If he wanted to, he could even directly check Huanqianqian's memory by casting spells, and by staying in his soul The primordial spirit brand in it forcibly suppresses its own consciousness to the point of controlling its body's mana.
It's just that Zhou Yang also discovered that if he really wants to forcibly control Huanqianqian to do something, he must concentrate on casting spells with all his strength, and then his own body will temporarily fall into a state of immobility.
And after the success of the secret technique, he also clearly felt the pressure of the primordial spirit recorded in the secret technique.
Judging from his own feelings, if he uses the "Soul Seizing Dafa" to control others, he can control at most two Nascent Soul monks like Huanqianqian.
If it exceeds this number, not only will he not be able to effectively control these people, but he will directly collapse his soul and completely lose his soul.
But when Zhou Yang was feeling all this carefully, the witch Huanqianqian turned her eyes, looked at him pitifully and said: "Master, since the slave has already let the master plant the restriction, can the master remove the restriction on the slave?" Untie it, and let the slaves recover their mana first."
"Since you still have the strength to cast this charm technique, I think it's better not to rush to undo this restriction, and it won't be too late after you explain everything you know."
Zhou Yang glanced at her coldly, and ordered without hesitation: "Also, don't call me master anymore, but master."
When Huan Qianqian heard the words, a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly responded: "Yes, master, I will remember it."
"Okay, I'll call Master Nie here now, and you are ready to answer his questions."
With a wave of Zhou Yang's hand, Dang even sent a message to Nie Yushuang to come in and interrogate the witch Huanqianqian.
Because Zhou Yang has already planted a restriction, as long as you tell a lie, Zhou Yang will definitely be able to detect it, and the witch Huanqianqian is very obedient and tells everything she knows.
After hearing what she said, both Zhou Yang and Nie Yushuang's expressions became extremely ugly.
"No, Nie must inform Junior Brother Murong of this situation immediately, and rush back immediately to stop those demons!"
Nie Yushuang glanced at Huan Qianqian with a gloomy expression, and with a movement of her figure, Dang even disappeared into the ice prison.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang also gave the witch Huanqianqian a hard look, his eyes full of seriousness.
It turned out that according to the account of the witch Huanqianqian, the "Master of the Heavenly Corpse" was probably planning to destroy the teleportation array across the immortal world in Beitingzhou, and planned to use it in the immortal world of Donghuazhou and the immortal world of Tiannanzhou. When these two cultivators from the immortal world teleported over, they destroyed the teleportation array, and with the help of the collapsed power of the teleportation array, they wiped out the two reinforcements from the immortal world in one fell swoop!
It is conceivable that once this matter is really done by the "Shangren of the Heavenly Corpse", not only will the Beitingzhou Immortal Cultivation World be completely isolated and helpless in a short period of time, but it will also severely damage the other two top players in the Immortal Cultivation World. monk power.
To put it more seriously, because all the Nascent Soul monks who came to support were wiped out, Donghuazhou Immortal Cultivation World and Tiannan Continent Immortal Cultivation World might even completely abandon the Beiting Continent Immortal Cultivation World and no longer send any reinforcements over.
It's no wonder Nie Yushuang, a "half-step true immortal" monk on the ninth floor of Yuanying, lost his composure after hearing about this.
Fortunately, at this time, there is still more than a day before the arrival of reinforcements from the two major immortal cultivation worlds of Donghuazhou and Tiannanzhou. This time will definitely not allow Nie Yushuang to rush back in time to stop "Master Tianshi" Destroy the teleportation array, but you can spread the news to the immortal cultivation world of Donghuazhou first, so that these reinforcements will give up taking the teleportation array.
Although once this is done, the time for the reinforcements to arrive at the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Beitingzhou will be delayed by several months, but it is better than the entire army being wiped out in the turbulent space.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but look coldly at the witch Huanqianqian and shouted: "You deliberately delayed until today to say it! You know that once the reinforcements from the two major immortal worlds are really wiped out in the turbulent space, waiting for you What kind of punishment will it be?"
"Master, I have wronged my concubine a lot. I have been imprisoned here, and I can't even use a little mana. How can I know when the reinforcements from the two major cultivating worlds will come? The reason why I didn't say it before is just because I want to I just used this as a bargaining chip to earn myself a freedom, but it is a pity that I still couldn't escape the master's palm in the end, it seems that this concubine is destined to be doomed!"
Huanqianqian cried out for herself with a look of injustice, of course it is impossible to admit Zhou Yang's accusation, and in the end, she even didn't forget to tease Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang actually didn't believe that Huanqianqian could calculate the exact time when the reinforcements from the two major cultivating worlds would arrive while Huanqianqian was in custody, and he did not find out that the other party was lying through the prohibition brand planted in his primordial spirit.
But he is not accusing a fellow monk now, and he doesn't need to produce any evidence to accuse him. As long as he believes that Huan Qianqian is suspected of this, he can punish him as he likes.
What's more, he was extremely disgusted with this witch's behavior of always trying to charm and tease him.
So he didn't bother to say anything more to the witch, and directly cast a spell to activate the prohibition in her primordial spirit, and punished her.
The pain from the primordial spirit was much stronger than the many tortures used by Nie Yushuang, not to mention that Huanqianqian, the witch's primordial spirit, had never recovered from her injuries.
Being punished by Zhou Yang, she was so painful that she hugged her head and screamed and rolled on the ground. The scream was shrill and miserable.
If Zhou Yang hadn't seen her silently in the face of torture before, he might have been deceived by her disguise.
He looked coldly at the witch who was rolling on the ground with her head in her arms and screaming, and said unceremoniously, "Okay, stop pretending, your clumsy acting skills will only make me sick!"
Hearing his words, Huanqianqian really stopped screaming, but she refused to admit defeat and shouted: "Okay, then you can continue to increase your strength, anyway, my soul is seriously injured now, it's up to you, in the end It's better to collapse the primordial spirit that I directly tortured!"
"Are you testing my bottom line? I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Zhou Yang's face darkened, and he glanced at the witch sharply, his words were full of murderous intent.
Although he made an oath of Dao Heart that he would not suppress or kill the witch after she confessed all the situation, but if he really wanted to bypass the oath and kill her, it was not impossible.
The witch Huanqianqian obviously understood this too, so after he said this, she wisely didn't provoke him any more, and just fell silent.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang finally looked better.
With a seal of both hands, he first lifted the restraint on the witch, restored her magic power, and then raised his hand, revealing the [Dongxuan Orb] in his hand.
"Your identity is sensitive, and it is not suitable to appear in front of people for the time being. You can rest in this magic weapon of the cave first. If you need to use you for anything, I will send you a voice transmission."
Huanqianqian has no objection to his arrangement, and the most urgent task now is to restore the injuries on his physical body and soul.
But before being collected by Zhou Yang into the [Dongxuan Orb], she suddenly said: "Can the master give that piece of [Magic Essence Stone] to my body? If I have this thing in my hand, the recovery speed of my body's injuries will be greatly improved." multiplied many times over."
"Oh, it turns out that this thing is called [Demon Essence Stone]?"
Zhou Yang's expression moved, and he took out the thumb-sized jet-black spar from the storage ring and put it in his hand to play with.
When Huanqianqian saw the jet-black spar, his eyes couldn't help showing a rare look of excitement.
She looked expectantly at the black spar in Zhou Yang's hand, and said in a fiery tone: "That's right, this is the [Magic Essence Stone] that is of inestimable value to us demon cultivators. The magic treasure that can only be bred in the devil world!"
"Since it can only be conceived in the real demon world, how could this thing fall into your hands? And this mere spar that contains demon energy can also be called the treasure of the demonic way?"
Zhou Yang looked at her suspiciously and asked, he didn't seem to think that the spar in his hand was worthy of the title "The Supreme Treasure of Demon Dao".
"This thing is not obtained by the concubine himself, but given to the concubine by the Master of the Heavenly Corpse. In fact, this time, the concubine and other demon cultivators who were originally scattered in the world of immortal cultivation gathered in the world of immortal cultivation in Beitingzhou to obey The main reason for his command of [Master Heavenly Corpse] is not to establish some earthly demon realm, but because he promised to give more [Magic Essence Stones] to those who have done meritorious service!"
"As for whether this thing is worthy of the title of magic treasure, it is because you don't know how important this thing is to us magic cultivators. It can be said that as long as you can have enough [Magic Essence Stone], no matter what kind of Demon cultivators with a pulse can use this to rapidly improve their cultivation, get rid of their dependence on other foreign objects, and make their mana in practice more pure and thick, and it is easier to comprehend and cultivate those powerful true demon supernatural powers!"
Huanqianqian has completely abandoned her original camp at this time, so it doesn't matter whether she reveals the unknown secrets of the magic cultivator.
What's more, in the previous confession, she had already sold all those demon cultivators once.
But after Zhou Yang listened to her words, more doubts arose in his heart, and he could not help but follow her words and continued to ask: "Since this [Magic Essence Stone] is so useful, what about [Master Tianshi]?" How could you be willing to share it with you? Haven’t you ever wondered where he got this treasure from?”
"[Magic Essence Stone] is indeed a treasure of the devil way, but [Shangren Tianshi] has reached the peak of Nascent Soul, this thing is of no great use to him, he took it out to tempt us to do it for him. It’s not surprising to do things.”
"As for where he got it, it's not really a secret. I guess he probably found it from the bottom of the Ice Sea Demon Abyss. Bring out such a treasure!"
"It's a pity that the further down the Ice Sea Demon Abyss, not only the richer and purer the devil energy, but also the stronger the ice energy. If you want to go down to the bottom, you can only rely on the Nascent Soul Nine-Layer Demon Cultivator like [Shangren] Only with the help of the top magic weapon can we barely reach it, but if you are a Ninth-level immortal cultivator like Nie Daoyou, you will not dare to go down even with the protection of a seventh-level fairy weapon!"
While Huanqianqian answered Zhou Yang's question, she shook her head and sighed with pity and regret.
Zhou Yang knew that she hated her for not being able to go down to the bottom of the ice sea demon abyss to collect [Magic Essence Stone], otherwise, as she said, as long as she collected enough [Magic Essence Stone] in hand, she would be able to find another Staying quietly in No Man's Land, focusing on improving your own cultivation, so you don't have to come out and fight to the death with the cultivators.
But having said that, he had to ask a question that neither Nie Yushuang nor he had time to ask before.
He looked at Huanqian with a solemn face and asked: "Then do you know the real reason why [Master Tianshi] summoned you top monks from various schools of magic to gather here? Ice Sea Demon Abyss How did the demonic energy explode there?"
When Huan Qianqian heard his question, she didn't have any hesitation, and immediately replied: "When [Master Tianshi] summoned us to gather here, he said that he wanted to build an earthly demon realm, and let us wait for the demons to gather here." Xiu no longer hides and hides like before, worrying all day long that he will be found and killed by the immortal cultivator."
"Of course, this reason is totally untenable. The number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals is more than ten times the number of Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators like me, not to mention how many people in the Transcending Tribulation Stage who can't live in seclusion. Immortal, we wait for the demon cultivators to go into hiding, and we can continue to live and practice, if we dare to stay in this so-called demon realm openly, do we think that we are not dying fast enough?"
"But although everyone knows that his reason is lame, no one is willing to investigate it carefully. After all, the [Magic Essence Stone] and some rare demon spirits he gave are real benefits, and everyone has been hunted down for many years. , it is rare for someone to gather everyone together, and they really want to take the opportunity to kill and let out a bad breath!"
"And master, you also know that the practice methods of the Blood Demon Way, the Corpse Demon Way, the Ghost Demon Way, and the Bone Demon Way are doomed for them to be hard to refuse this temptation!"
"As for why the devilish energy in the Ice Sea Demon Abyss burst out of the ground suddenly, only the [Master Heavenly Corpse] knows clearly. At that time, I watched him sneak into the bottom of the devil's abyss for a few days, and the devilish energy was triggered. Frenzy!"
Today, I took the high-speed train back to the company. I was late for one minute and missed the car. I watched my car drive away. Fortunately, I was smart and waited for a few minutes to get on another car that also went to Guangzhou. The car signed a replacement, free of charge. If you are like me in the future, remember to ask the train conductor to make up the ticket immediately after getting on the train, otherwise you will not be found by the ticket check on the train, and it will be difficult to get out of the station after getting off, and you will have to pay more to make up the ticket! In addition, grapefruits are sold out, um, from my hometown in Hunan!
