Chapter 347 Bait

Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

He had already wanted to kill Guo Lao, and now that he had revealed his identity as a soul cultivator, he would not let him go.

Yuan Ming didn't waste any words, and immediately his mind moved, and five soul crows flew out of his sea of ​​consciousness in an instant, circling above his head.

Seeing this, Guo Lao felt a little regretful. If he had known that the other party was a soul cultivator, he would not have chased him like this.

After all, with his experience in the Jindan stage, he knew that some soul cultivators, because they focused on cultivating the power of the soul, had weak mana and weak bodies on the surface, but their attainments in soul cultivation might have reached the level of being able to kill the enemy invisibly.

However, judging from the current situation, the other party was most likely just a soul cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and as long as he was careful, he should be safe.

He immediately took off a jade pendant from his waist, placed it in his palm, cast a spell, chanted a spell, and then bit his tongue fiercely, spraying a mouthful of blood on the jade pendant.

The jade pendant absorbed the blood instantly, then automatically flew up and floated to the top of Old Guo's head, emitting a dazzling light blue light.

Old Guo, who was illuminated by this light, suddenly felt his mind clear and his soul as if an invisible force had enveloped his sea of ​​consciousness, blocking all external influences.

However, Yuan Ming, seeing Old Guo's method, also focused his eyes slightly, and the soul power in his sea of ​​consciousness was surging. The six soul crows immediately spread their wings and formed a line from top to bottom.

Then suddenly red light flashed in their eyes, and the surging soul power flowed out of them like silk threads. In the blink of an eye, they were connected together and formed a magic array pattern in mid-air.

And at the moment when all the soul crows were connected, they opened their mouths at the same time to perform crow calls, but the sound waves did not come from their mouths, but gushed out from the center of the array.

The black sound wave was several times larger than before, and it gave people the illusion that the sky was covered by black fog.

This is the Soul Crow Formation that Yuan Ming developed by analyzing the battle formation of Guiyuan Sect. It can increase the power of the crow's cry several times more than usual according to the number of soul crows added to the formation.

However, with the aura of the jade pendant protecting him, Mr. Guo seemed particularly confident, and even showed a disdainful smile on his face.

"If you were a love witch, I would be afraid of you, but unfortunately you are just an illusion witch. Today you have fallen into my hands!"

As expected, the black sound waves surged like a wave, and when they came into contact with the light blue light emitted by the jade pendant, they instantly dissipated.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming panicked, and Mr. Guo immediately activated the magic weapon, and countless fireballs poured out of the sky, completely submerging Yuan Ming and the thunderstorm.

Mr. Guo laughed loudly, let down his guard, and flew forward to catch Yuan Ming's charred body.

"I didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise this time. Although I'm just an illusion witch, the sect will definitely--"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, and everything in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a hand holding his head and a little light leaking from the fingers.

From the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw a headless corpse, and the clothes and robes on his body were so familiar.

Yuan Ming used the Blood-Transforming Knife to cut off Guo Lao's head and put his body away. While his spirit was still there, he immediately grabbed his head and searched his soul.

Soon, Guo Lao completely lost his vitality, and his spirit also dissipated between heaven and earth.

But Yuan Ming also got some information he wanted by observing his memory.

What surprised him was that this Guo Lao was not an unknown casual cultivator, but a guest elder of the Five Thunder Sect.

When he was young, he was severely injured by a Jindan body cultivator. He managed to save his life with great difficulty, and fled to the Five Thunder Sect to avoid disaster.

As an outsider, he had no status in the Five Thunder Sect, and could only rely on the young cultivator he called the Young Master, and eventually followed him to the Black Wind Desert.

The Young Master's real name was Yu Hong, who was in charge of the business of the Five Thunder Sect's stores in the Black Wind Desert. He privately recruited a group of foundation-building casual cultivators. Once he found that a rival store was taking over his business, he would let these casual cultivators disguise themselves as sand bandits to rob the rival store's caravan.

This time, Yu Hong targeted Bai Dan Fang, firstly because Bai Dan Fang had taken over his business, and secondly, he had some thoughts about Yan Sijing, wanting to force her into a desperate situation and then take her as a furnace.

Therefore, he deliberately brought Guo Lao to disguise himself and personally robbed and killed her, in order to ensure that everything was foolproof.

As for the jade pendant he just used, it was actually the unique magic weapon of the Five Thunder Sect, called "Qingxin Pei", which was specially used to resist the illusion of soul cultivators.

Similar magic weapons are very common in the Five Thunder Sect, but Guo Lao is not very clear about the specific reasons.

The names of soul cultivators in Wu Lei Sect are also different. They are not the conventional Qi Refining and Foundation Building, but are divided into Soul Witch, Illusion Witch and Love Witch. As for why they are divided like this, Old Guo does not know.

Yuan Ming put away Old Guo's head, thought about it, and still felt that something was wrong.

In Old Guo's memory, Yu Hong and Bai Dan Fang were not the same people. They came to rob the caravan this time, but why did Chai Jiujin seem to be a prophet and predict their appearance in advance?

With this thought, Yuan Ming immediately switched his perspective and focused on the first soul.

When Chai Jiujin escaped, he secretly released the first soul, turned into a transparent soul crow, and followed Chai Jiujin closely, in order to find out the truth of this escort mission.

However, when Yuan Ming saw the situation clearly through the first soul, he was surprised.

...

On the sand sea, the battle was decided.

Chai Jiujin's forehead was sweating, and he controlled the ice jade ring to tightly wrap around the purple electric sword. Beside him, another Danjie elder from Baidanfang's eyes darkened, and his fingers rushed into the void in front of him.

As bursts of yellow light flashed, the nine earth-yellow flying knives transformed into the shadow of a sky-throwing knife, directly slashing the jade seal away, and then slashed at Yuhong's head.

At this time, Yuhong no longer had the arrogance he had before. He ran away in embarrassment, and at the same time roared with anger: "Do you know who I am? If you dare to kill me, you will definitely--"

The sound of sharp blades breaking through the body suddenly sounded. Yuhong's words were interrupted by his own wails. He could no longer maintain his magic power and fell from the air screaming.

Covered in blood, he hit the sand hard, and his bones instantly shattered. Blood gushed out from the wounds, soon turning the sand red.

At this moment, two monks came down with their magic weapons and stood in front of Yuhong.

The blood blurred Yuhong's vision, making it difficult for him to see clearly who was standing in front of him. He could only use his last strength to reach out to the two people.

"Don't... kill me... I'm..."

"The dog thief who killed my uncle!"

With a roar, Yan Siyun raised the wooden staff she was holding and stabbed Yu Hong in the head.

Blood and brains splashed out, staining Yan Siyun's long dress in filth.

Beside her, Yan Sijing still felt upset. She took out her long sword weapon and slashed at Yuhong's body dozens of times.

The sun sets in the west, and the red sunset dyes the sky red.

On the top of the red sand dune, Yan Siyun and Yan Sijing stood side by side. The breeze blew, and the blood-stained long skirts slowly floated, like burning clouds in the sky, and like the blooming flowers of the other side.

Under the sand dunes, the other foundation-building monks from Baidanfang watched this scene with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Chai Jiujin fell from the sky. Seeing this scene, he seemed to want to say something. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he just sighed.

Another Danjie monk stood next to Sister Yan Siyun, looking at Yuhong's body with a faint look.

"Brother Yan, the person who killed you is dead, and your spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace."

Sisters Yan Siyun's parents died young and they were raised by their uncle. Later, they founded Baidanfang, which received their uncle's full support. The sisters were responsible for running the business, and their uncle was responsible for running the business.

However, the last time the caravan was robbed, their uncle, who was already in the pill formation stage, died at the hands of Yu Hong. The sisters deliberately set up this situation in order to take revenge.

Everyone stood there mourning for a while, but it was Yan Siyun who wiped her tears first, turned around and said: "Elder Zhen, please keep this thief's storage bag first. We will go to the camp immediately. There is a pill over there. Those hired casual cultivators won’t last long.”

The alchemy monk known as Elder Zhen nodded and was about to reach out to pick up the storage bag on Yuhong's body, but suddenly turned his head and looked to the southwest.

"somebody is coming."

Hearing this, everyone became nervous instantly, but soon, they saw that the one coming from the southwest was not the Danjie enemy as expected, but Yuan Ming riding a thunderstorm.

After he discovered through the first soul that Yuhong was besieged by the monks from Baidanfang, he rushed over immediately.

He stood on Lei Yu's back, looked Yan Siyun up and down, then turned his eyes to Yan Sijing, and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, don't you want to explain it to me?"

Yan Sijing was about to speak, but unexpectedly Yan Siyun took a step forward and said, "Now that fellow Daoist Yuan has escaped, another Dandan Sand Bandit must have died at your hands."

Yuan Ming sneered, turned over his hand and threw Mr. Guo's headless body out: "Do you seem to know me very well, fellow Taoist?"

Chai Jiujin and Elder Zhen still didn't believe Yan Siyun's words. When they saw Elder Guo's body, they were stunned and looked like they had seen a ghost.

Although Yan Sijing heard from her sister that Yuan Ming could kill Jiedan beyond the ranks, she was extremely surprised when she saw the solid evidence.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan is joking. I just collected some information, so I know your other identity." Yan Siyun said, and suddenly sent a message to Yuan Ming. She just opened her lips lightly and said three words: "Ming Yue god".

However, Yuan Ming's expression changed: "Haha, fellow Taoist, please don't talk nonsense. I will not take the blame for this."

"If Fellow Daoist Yuan says no, then it's not good. But now, Fellow Daoist Yuan should be in the mood to have a good chat with me, right?" Yan Siyun smiled.

Yuan Ming didn't answer, his eyes fell on Yu Hong's body on the sand dune, and he suddenly asked: "Since fellow Taoist said that he has collected a lot of information, do you know the true identities of these two pill-forming sand thieves?"

Yan Siyun frowned and heard Yuan Ming say this, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart: "Please ask fellow Taoist to clarify my doubts."

"I wonder if you have heard of Yu Hong from Wu Lei Pavilion in Purple Thunder City?" Yuan Ming asked.
