"It was taken?"

Liang Yan was taken aback, but calmed down after a moment. His eyes fell on Yang Feng, and after looking at him carefully for a while, he asked in a deep voice: "How did you know about this?"

"Because I have a good relationship with Prince Feng, he accidentally revealed it to me before he set off to find the 'Sapphire Twins'." Yang Feng replied.

"oh?"

Liang Yan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, falling on Yang Feng, as if he wanted to see through his inner thoughts.

Prince Feng is dead, and there is no way to confirm what this person said. However, Liang Yan couldn't think of any reason why he deceived him, so he still believed it.

"Has Prince Feng ever told you about the identity of this man in black robe?" Liang Yan suddenly asked.

"No." Yang Feng replied: "He called him the 'messenger' and his attitude was more respectful, but he didn't mention a word about the identity of the 'messenger'."

"messenger?"

Liang Yan frowned and sat silently in his seat.

After a long time, he raised his head, waved his hand and said: "I understand, you have done a good job in reporting the information. When you return from executing the 'Execution of Evil Order', I will reward you based on your merits."

"Thank you, senior!"

Yang Feng's expression was calm from beginning to end, without any fluctuation.

He bowed to Liang Yan and slowly exited the palace.

As soon as Yang Feng left, Luo Tianxiang couldn't bear it anymore and asked eagerly: "Master, has Senior Brother Gu exposed his trap and been discovered?"

Liang Yan was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it. If Gu Xingyun is exposed, Master Xuanzhen will use him to find out my truth, and even threaten me with his life. But Xuanzhen has nothing. Do it, and finally go to the meeting alone, which shows that Gu Xingyun has not been exposed."

"Then why was Senior Brother Gu taken away?" Luo Tianxiang frowned.

Although he and Gu Xingyun didn't get along for a long time, they worked undercover together, cooperated with each other in dangerous environments, cherished each other, and already had a deep friendship.

Now that Luo Tianxiang has joined Liang Yan's sect and has become the same sect as Gu Xingyun, he is even more concerned about his safety.

"It's hard to say right now."

Liang Yan stood up from his seat and paced back and forth in the palace.

"Prince Feng is the son of the Lord of Seven Star City. People who can be respected by him must either have extremely high levels of cultivation or have special status. Why would such a person come to the Sea of ​​Fallen Souls? What is the relationship between him and Master Xuanzhen? plot?"

Liang Yan murmured to himself, and after a moment, he suddenly stopped and asked: "Tianxiang, I remember you said that there is a Star-catching and Moon-grabbing Tower in the center of Peng Island, which is dedicated to the residence of Master Xuanzhen. There is no one in it within a thousand miles." Are outsiders approaching?"

"Yes, there is such a place. I went there when I came to deliver the war invitation." Luo Tianxiang replied.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

As Liang Yan spoke, he waved his sleeves, and the escaping light swept up Luo Tianxiang, and flew out of the palace the next moment.

He was extremely fast, crossing mountains and ridges in the blink of an eye, and soon arrived at the center of Peng Island.

Looking from a distance, we can see an attic hanging high in the sky with three floors. Each floor has a hexagonal bell hanging on it. The stars around the bell are shining and the moonlight is gathering, which is in line with the name of "Star-catching Tower".

Liang Yan activated the escape light and soon landed in the attic.

The restriction left by Master Xuanzhen may be able to block the ancestor of the nine great sects, but it cannot block Liang Yan's light blow.

He easily broke through the restriction and walked into the room.

The interior is antique, the bookcase is filled with Taoist scriptures, the table is lit with a touch of sandalwood, and a Tai Chi picture is hung on the wall.

The moment he saw this picture, Luo Tianxiang's eyes suddenly became confused, and he walked forward blankly, as if he had forgotten who he was.

Liang Yan flicked his sleeves, and a soft breeze flew out and circled around Luo Tianxiang.

Luo Tianxiang woke up quickly, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Master, I seemed to have a sense of enlightenment just now. I caught something somewhere, but when I was about to step forward and take a closer look, the thing flew away again."

"Enlightenment? I'm afraid you have enlightened to the evil way!"

Liang Yan sneered, and with a flick of his right hand, the sword energy shot out and pierced the Tai Chi diagram.

"Hey!"

The Tai Chi Tu let out a strange scream when it was stabbed by the sword energy.

Immediately afterwards, the Bagua pattern quickly rotated and turned into a ball of black air, falling from the wall and flying towards the window!

Luo Tianxiang was caught off guard and was hit by this black energy. He suddenly felt that his bones were about to fall apart. He took a dozen steps back before he could stabilize his body.

"Master!"

Luo Tianxiang shouted.

Looking up, the black energy was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the window. Just as he was about to rush out of the room, a golden light flashed from the window.

boom!

The black energy hit him head-on, making a muffled sound, and then the golden light surged and turned into a huge handprint, grabbing the black energy tightly in his hand.

"Huh! Huh! Huh!"

A series of piercing strange screams came from the black air. It seemed that the things inside were trying their best to break free, but no matter how much the black air rolled, they could never escape the scope of the golden handprint.

"return!"

Liang Yan snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the black energy with his golden handprint, and returned to the two of them.

Due to the suppression of Vajra's divine power, the black energy quickly dissipated, revealing that the thing inside was actually a macaque!

This macaque is red all over, has strange talismans on its hands, and a sarcoma on its back. The weirdest thing is that there are three eyes on his face, lined up in a row. At this time, his eyes are turning, showing a cunning look.

"Master, this is" Luo Tianxiang's first time seeing this kind of spiritual beast, with a look of surprise on his face.

"It's the three-eyed macaque."

Liang Yan said in a calm voice: "This is a strange beast with evil pupils. It can lead monks into illusions. The so-called 'great road' you just saw is just an illusion built by this beast for you."

"What? What I just saw was all fake?"

Luo Tianxiang was surprised. Just now he was observing the Bagua Diagram attentively and understood a hint of the truth of the Dao. He thought he had successfully realized the Dao, but he didn't expect that it was an illusion created by this beast.

Liang Yan recalled the information he saw in Bihai Palace and said with emotion: "You should be lucky that this 'Three-Eyed Macaque' is still in its infancy. This monster has a huge range of strength. If it is an adult 'Three-Eyed Macaque' ', Eye Technique can trap a monk in the Transformation Tribulation Realm. Just that look from you just now may make your Taoist heart collapse."

"There is such an evil monster!"

Luo Tianxiang exclaimed, and when he looked at the three-eyed macaque again, his eyes were full of vigilance.

The three-eyed macaque was now baring its teeth and staring directly at Liang Yan with its three eyes, seemingly unconvinced that he had restrained itself, its eyes full of provocation.

However, Liang Yan didn't pay attention to its provocation. Instead, he cast his gaze on its belly. Something seemed to have caught his attention.

After being quiet for a while, Liang Yan suddenly raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Huh?"

He walked slowly to the three-eyed macaque, observed it carefully for a while, and suddenly stretched out his right index finger and gently tapped the three-eyed macaque's abdomen.

Before the fingertips even touched each other, a black and white ray of light lit up on the macaque's abdomen. The ray of light turned slightly and turned into a Tai Chi diagram, blocking Liang Yan's fingers.

"Is there a restriction?"

Liang Yan's face was even more surprised.

Judging from this forbidden aura, it should be left by Master Xuanzhen. It seems to be protecting something?

"I want to see what you left behind."

Liang Yan thought, and a sword energy burst out from his fingertips and pierced into the Tai Chi diagram. After a moment, the Tai Chi diagram collapsed, and the three-eyed macaque's body suddenly twitched.

Its three eyes focused on one point, and three red rays of light shot out, converging into a blurry figure at the focus.

Liang Yan was startled and took a step back instinctively.

But he immediately realized that this was just a projection, not the monk himself.

Looking at it carefully, I saw that the whole body of the projection was shrouded in a layer of turbid air. It was impossible to see clearly his appearance, and it was impossible to understand his level of cultivation.

"Master."

The scene in front of him was extremely strange. Luo Tianxiang couldn't help but speak, but was interrupted by Liang Yan waving his hand.

"Don't talk yet." Liang Yan's voice sounded directly in Luo Tianxiang's mind.

"Yes" Luo Tianxiang managed to calm down and stood beside Liang Yan, observing intently.

After a moment, the figure in the turbid air actually spoke:

"Fellow Xuanzhen's prudent behavior is admirable! Now the amount of 'soul-destroying energy' is enough to maintain the operation of the Shenwei Army, but just in case, a part of 'soul-destroying energy' is still needed as a reserve. I hope that fellow daoist will stay in Luoyang." The Soul Sea will continue to be exploited for ten years, and after ten years, we will work together to do something big."

After hearing these words, Liang Yan and Luo Tianxiang were slightly stunned.

"Master, who is this person? What is he talking about?" Luo Tianxiang asked secretly.

"No need for sound transmission. This is just a projection and has no consciousness of its own."

As Liang Yan spoke, he used his spiritual consciousness to observe the three-eyed macaque carefully for a moment. He soon discovered that there was a residual force of space in the body of the monster monkey, which seemed to be a means of communication.

"interesting."

A smile appeared on Liang Yan's lips: "It seems that the three-eyed macaque has some special talents in addition to illusions. Master Xuanzhen used its talents to refine it into a special tool for transmitting messages. magic weapon."

"Send message?"

Luo Tianxiang frowned, looking a little confused: "If it's just to send a message, there are many kinds of magic weapons available. At the level of Master Xuanzhen, there shouldn't be such a big deal, right?"

"No." Liang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "If it is an ordinary messenger magic weapon, there is a high possibility that it will be eavesdropped secretly, especially by monks who are proficient in deduction techniques. If they are deliberately targeting them, they may be intercepted secretly. Their messages were secretly intercepted."

"Then this monkey."

"This monkey is an excellent messenger." Liang Yan said slowly: "Three-eyed macaques are naturally proficient in illusions and can disguise themselves. This disguise is not a cover-up, but a real integration of themselves into nature. Even the breath has changed. Just like just now, it turned into a Tai Chi picture. It is really a picture. If you hadn't been under its spell, it would be difficult for me to detect it even if I was close at hand. exist."

"So that's it." Luo Tianxiang showed an expression of sudden realization and nodded: "This three-eyed macaque has blended into nature, and its breath has also changed. Even if there is a master who is proficient in the art of calculation, it will be difficult to count its head. It becomes an excellent communication 'magic weapon'!"

"Yes, your understanding is very good."

Liang Yan's face showed a look of satisfaction, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

"The soul-destroying energy should be the reason why Master Xuanzhen arrived at the Sea of ​​Lost Souls. I have never heard of the 'Shenwei Army' mentioned before. Is it a new army cultivated by Seven Star City?"

Liang Yan fell into deep thought, while Luo Tianxiang started rummaging around the room.

After a moment, Luo Tianxiang suddenly shouted: "Master, look!"

Liang Yan was awakened and put his thoughts aside for the time being. He turned around and saw that Luo Tianxiang was walking towards him holding a roll of bamboo slips.

"Master, look at what's written on this bamboo slip."

"Um?"

Liang Yan took the bamboo slip and after unfolding it, he found a small text written on it: "Take six liang of soul stones, ten branches of Yang fire, nine branches of Yin fire, roast them for seven or seven forty-nine days, and get dark red crystals, which are placed in the In the furnace, add 2 taels of Five Poison Flowers, 5 qian of Stone Heart Essence, a little bit of Bauhinia Copper Essence, a little of Red Magic Water, and finally refine it with pure spiritual power for seven days to get a wisp of 'Soul-Destroying Qi'."

This is an experience of refining medicine. The steps are extremely complicated, the refining time is extremely long, and the medicinal materials are also very rare.

After seeing this paragraph of text, Liang Yan suddenly felt enlightened and nodded: "It seems that the resources secretly collected by the Tiandao Alliance in the Sea of ​​Lost Souls are the 'soul stones'!"

Luo Tianxiang was a little confused and asked: "With the power of Seven Star City, why do they hide it from others and collect it in secret?"

"Haha, there are seven mountains and twelve cities in the Antarctic Immortal Continent. Although the Seven Star City is powerful, it is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand. In my opinion, the Seven Star City has their enemies, and the surface of this 'soul stone' It didn't look like much, so their enemies didn't care. But Seven Star City has a secret method that can collect what they want from the soul stone, which is this 'soul-destroying energy'. In order not to be attacked by their enemies, they After discovering this, I ordered Prince Feng, the 'devil incarnation', to come here in command. On the surface, he wanted to plunder resources and enjoy himself, but secretly he was working hard to mine soul stones."

After listening to Liang Yan's analysis, Luo Tianxiang's eyes showed admiration, and he said respectfully: "Master's thoughtfulness is admirable!"

"Haha, it's nothing. If you are constantly being plotted by others, you will learn it sooner or later."

Liang Yan smiled slightly and put the bamboo slips into the storage ring.

"Now there are a few questions. What exactly is this 'soul-destroying energy'? Why does the 'Shenwei Army' that person mentioned rely on 'soul-destroying energy' to maintain its operation?"

Liang Yan said, looking at the three-eyed macaque again.

Suddenly, he raised his brows, stretched out his right hand, and actually inserted it directly into the monster monkey's belly!

After groping for a while, Liang Yan took out a transparent jade vial.
