Chapter 141 Shocking Secrets, Causes and Consequences

Zhou You's eyes were fixed on the monk surnamed Wang, his eyes were sharp, and his endless sword energy was ready to go out. As long as the monk surnamed Wang made the slightest move, these sword energy would fall and take the life of the monk surnamed Wang.

Zhou You had already noticed the identity of the monk named Wang.

Not only does this person have the aura of the First Soul in his body, but he also has the Nine Nether Yin Thunder. It is almost certain that this person has the First Soul in his body.

Either he was taken away by the ancestor soul, or this person has the ancestor soul of the Nascent Soul stage attached to him.

Coupled with this person's figure and skin, Zhou You already thought of this person.

If this person has really been taken away by the ancestor, then it is impossible for Zhou You to let this person go.

The people whose bodies were taken away by their ancestors were all monks of the Righteous Alliance.

They are controlled by the tokens of the Righteous Alliance.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou You to let this person go.

So what Zhouyou has to do now is to verify this person’s identity.

If this person doesn't cooperate, Zhou You will have no choice but to kill him.

The monk surnamed Wang looked at Zhou You, and finally sighed softly. His voice returned to Zhou You's familiar look. He slowly took off his mask, and an ordinary but determined face appeared in front of Zhou You.

This man has dark skin and his eyes are full of perseverance. If he stood in the crowd, he would be lost in the crowd, and no one would notice him at all.

But his face was very familiar to Zhou You.

Wang Tiezhu!

Sure enough, this person is Wang Tiezhu who has been missing for ten years!

When Zhou You went to Taibai Academy to listen to a sermon for the first time, he met the young man with dark skin and low-grade spiritual roots.

Although Wang Tiezhu only has low-grade spiritual roots, he ranked first among the disciples in the Taibai Academy's assessment, whether it was the will assessment or the Taoist assessment.

Now that ten years have passed, his face has lost its youthful look and become more mature and restrained, becoming much more stable than before.

The most important thing is that his cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building!

You must know that Wang Tiezhu only has a low-grade spiritual root. It can be said that it is extremely terrifying to go from the second level of Qi training to the late stage of foundation building in ten years.

Only those from the Yin Shen Sect can do this.

After seeing this face and looking at Wang Tiezhu's eyes, Zhou You judged his identity.

Wang Tiezhu's body should not have been taken away, but his body had been taken over by some powerful being.

This leads to the situation of one body and two souls.

"If I guessed correctly, you should be Senior Brother Zhou, right?"

Wang Tiezhu showed a smile on his face and stared at Zhou You.

Zhou You did not reply to his words, but glanced around and said calmly: "This is not the place to talk. If you want to survive, follow me, otherwise my sword will not be so full of nonsense."

After saying that, Zhou You turned into a rainbow and left the place.

Wang Tiezhu did not hesitate and quickly followed Zhou You, and the two of them stayed away from the battlefield.

In a valley three hundred miles away.

Zhou You landed, and Wang Tiezhu followed closely behind.

After landing, Zhou You looked at Wang Tiezhu and said calmly: "Please show your ancestor soul. I have to confirm whether you have been taken away."

Wang Tiezhu was silent for a moment and nodded, then said: "Zuoqiu, come out."

Wang Tiezhu spoke for a while, and a red light emerged from his body.

This red light quickly condensed into a cold shadow.

It was an extremely handsome man, about thirty years old. He had his hands folded across his chest and his eyes were cold, looking at Zhou You.

"Introducing Zuoqiu, the leader of the Yin Shen Sect."

Wang Tiezhu said.

Zhou You was stunned for a moment and looked at the red figure in surprise. He didn't expect that this handsome man was actually the master of the Yin Shen Sect.

No wonder his pre-soul is red, while other people's pre-souls are blue.

After Zhou You thought for a while, he pondered: "If my guess is correct, this Yin Shen Sect leader deceived everyone in Lin'an Mansion, pretended to be an ordinary ancestor, hid in a Yin Shen statue, and used powerful means to deceive Mu Ji. Han and others thought he had taken you away, but in fact he was just possessing you. They borrowed your hand to escape from the control of Lin'an Mansion, right?"

Wang Tiezhu's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at Zhou You in horror: "How do you know?"

Zhou You didn't speak, but looked at Zuo Qiu, who had been silent.

Zuoqiu stared at Zhou You with his narrow eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded: "You are very smart. This is how I deceived Lin'an Mansion."

Zhou You touched his chin and asked: "Senior Zuoqiu, I respect you as a senior and will not embarrass you. However, I have a few questions and I would like to ask my senior for help. I would also like to ask my senior to clarify my doubts."

After a pause, Zhou You added: "Since I know that you are the ancestor of Yin Shen Sect and dare to let you show up, I am absolutely sure to deal with your body-seizing technique, so there is no need to think about seizing my body, junior. "

After listening to Zhou You's words, Zuoqiu gave Zhou You a thoughtful look, and then said, "Just ask."

Wang Tiezhu glanced at Zuoqiu in surprise.

Zhou You asked his first question without hesitation: "What is the purpose of Marquis Lin'an?"

Zuoqiu said calmly: "Overthrow the Daqi Dynasty."

Zhou You shook his head: "Let me change the question. What is the purpose of the Zhengqi Alliance? Why must we open the inheritance place of Taibai Sword Immortal? What is... sealed in that inheritance place?"

Zuoqiu raised his eyebrows, took a deep look at Zhou You again, and then said, "Do you know why that person just turned into a monster?"

After hearing this, Zhou You couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, recalling Jin Linguang's appearance just now.

Because he couldn't use the soul-searching technique on Jin Linguang, he didn't know how this person became a demon.

However, now that Zuo Qiu said this, Zhou You thought of the inheritance place of Taibai Sword Immortal.

Zhou You asked: "Could it be related to the inheritance place of Taibai Sword Immortal?"

Zuoqiu nodded: "The inheritance place of Taibai Sword Immortal has two profound meanings. The first is the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal, and the second is, as you guessed, it is a huge demon-sealing place."

"What is a demon-sealed place? Are there ancient demons in it?"

Zhou You frowned, and his heart gradually became clear.

Zuoqiu said: "It's not that there are ancient demons inside, but there are things sealed inside that can make people and demons become demons. Once the inheritance place is opened, anyone who enters may become a demon."

Zhou You took a deep breath.

He thought of everything and whispered: "Could it be that the purpose of the Zhengqi Alliance is to obtain the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal, then open the Luoshui Pass, introduce all the monsters outside the pass into the inheritance place, and turn those monsters into monsters?"

Zuoqiu glanced at Zhou You with admiration: "You are very smart, you can think of this."

Zhou You ignored the praise from the left and right, but said doubtfully: "Then how did Jin Linguang become a demon? Could it be that he has entered the inheritance place?"

Zuo Qiu shook his head and said: "The Demon-Sealed Land has not yet been opened, so how could he enter it? There must be another reason, maybe it has something to do with the Righteous Alliance."

"You don't know that you are the leader of Yin Shen Sect?"

Zhou You looked at Zuoqiu in disbelief.

Zuoqiu sneered: "According to you, since I am the leader of the Yin Shen Sect, I should know everything about the world?"

Zhou You ignored him and continued to ask: "One more thing, why do we, the monks, have to cultivate to the elixir formation stage as soon as possible?"

Zuoqiu was stunned when he heard this, and then stared at Zhou You. He didn't say anything for a long time. Then he saw that Zhou You was a little impatient, so he said, "How do you know that the monks in Lincheng want to cultivate to the elixir formation stage as soon as possible?"

Zhou Youdao: "I know it by chance."

Naturally, it was impossible for him to tell Zuoqiu that the Xiaoying of their Yin Shen Sect was in his hands.

Zuoqiu shrugged and was questioned. He just said it casually, and then Zuoqiu said: "This matter is very simple. First, you must enter the elixir formation stage to enter the inheritance place of Taibai Sword Immortal, otherwise you will definitely be in trouble after entering." Under the influence of demonic energy, one becomes a demon.”

"Second, if the demon-sealing place in the inheritance land is opened, the demonic energy will gradually spread. Unless you leave Lincheng, Lincheng will become a demonic realm sooner or later. If the creatures infected with the demonic aura have not yet reached the point of forming a pill, they will Might become a monster."

After listening to Zuoqiu's words, Zhou You finally understood that Xiaoying and Bai Chiyu's masters had said that they should reach the core formation stage as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that after opening the inheritance place, it would have such a huge impact.

There will be demonic energy seeping out, and people who have not cultivated enough to form pills may become demons.

Doesn't that mean that...all the mortals in Lincheng may be transformed into monsters?

Wang Tiezhu said at this time: "Zuoqiu, you, you mean, if those demonic energies escape, all the mortals in Lincheng will turn into monsters?"

Obviously, Zuo Qiu had not told Wang Tiezhu these things before.

If he said it, it would definitely affect Wang Tiezhu's Taoist heart.

Zuoqiu glanced at Wang Tiezhu: "That's not the case. This demonic energy will only affect monks below the pill formation level and has no effect on mortals. Otherwise, before the demonic land was sealed by Taibai Sword Immortal thousands of years ago, Lincheng would have already been The people are in dire straits, and it should be desolate even now.”

When Zhou You heard the words, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The Yin Shen Sect was also a sect from a thousand years ago, so there should be no need for Zuoqiu to lie.

Wang Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he still said: "No! Such important events must be spread, otherwise, once the inheritance land is opened, all the monks in Lincheng will be destroyed at the hands of the Righteous Alliance!"

But Zuoqiu sneered: "It's just you, how can I stop it?"

Wang Tiezhu said: "Inform Taibai Academy of this matter, and the people of Taibai Academy will naturally tell the world and stop what the Zhengqi Alliance is doing."

Zuoqiu said lightly: "Do you think the people in Taibai Academy don't know about this? Do you think they aren't stopping it? If they hadn't stopped it, they would have opened the inheritance place as early as when they got the Taibai Sword Bone. , why wait until now for the Righteous Alliance to attack Cangshan Mountain?"

Indeed, what Zuoqiu said makes sense.

The people at Taibai Academy must know this.

That's why they try their best to stop the Zhengqi Alliance.

Unfortunately, their strength is far inferior to that of the Righteous Alliance, and they cannot stop the Righteous Alliance at all. All they can do now is to preserve the Taibai Sword Bone so that the Righteous Alliance cannot open the inheritance land.

Wang Tiezhu's breath was stagnant, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Then he seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "Even if the Zhengqi Alliance cannot be stopped, we can inform other monks in advance and let them leave Lincheng."

Zuoqiu's eyes were calm: "Do you think others will believe what you say? In this situation, if you tell it, there may be many casual cultivators who think that you are trying to steal the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal from them."

Wang Tiezhu said without hesitation: "Then there will definitely be people who believe what Taibai Academy says, and they can tell the world."

Zuoqiu sneered: "Cultivation as an immortal means changing one's fate against the will of heaven, and competing with God for destiny. Whether they are infected by the devil's energy or not, that is their life, what does it have to do with you? If you care about these dangers, why bother to embark on the path of cultivating an immortal? Wouldn’t it be better to be a mortal?”

After a pause, Zuoqiu said coldly: "If you have such a compassionate heart, wouldn't it be better if I advise you to give up the path of cultivating immortals as soon as possible and go to the mortal world to be free and wealthy?"

Wang Tiezhu was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou You saw it in his eyes, but didn't say a word.

He agreed very much with what Zuoqiu said.

Cultivation of immortals is about competing with heaven for fate. In the world of immortality, it is good if you can protect yourself. How can you have extra energy to care about the lives of others?

What Zuo Qiu said is very good. Maybe the person you saved will turn around and kill you.

You tried to persuade them to leave Lincheng with good intentions. There must be many casual cultivators who thought that you wanted to compete with them for the inheritance of Taibai Sword Immortal and deliberately tricked them into leaving Lincheng.

This is the human heart.

Even Taibai Academy knows about this kind of thing and is unwilling to tell the world, so that the Lincheng monks can understand the whole story, so there is no need for them, the young monks, to meddle in other people's business.

Zhou You thought for a while and then asked: "If the Zhengqi Alliance never gets the treasure map of Taibai Sword Bone and Jade Cauldron, won't it be safe?"

Wang Tiezhu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, now that the Taibai Sword Bone is in the academy and the whereabouts of the treasure map are unknown, even if the Righteous Alliance has this idea, it cannot do it."

Zuoqiu looked at Zhou You and Wang Tiezhu with disdain: "You are too naive. You just believe whatever the Righteous Alliance says? First, the Taibai Sword Bone can only be obtained by possessing the Taibai Sword Immortal to the greatest extent."

"Second, Master Yuding's treasure trove is not a hidden key, but a treasure that can protect you from evil spirits and can even control demons."

After hearing this, Zhou You's eyes flashed slightly.

Sure enough, the Righteous Alliance is talking nonsense.

Zhou You said: "Does that mean that there is no key needed to open the inheritance place of Taibai Sword Immortal?"

Zuoqiu said no more and just nodded.

"Then what conditions are needed to open the inheritance place?"

Wang Tiezhu asked.

Zuoqiu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. It's probably just a few years ago."

Zhou You has gotten what he wants and knows what the Zhengqi Alliance wants to do, so there is no need for him to stay here, so he bows his hand towards Zuoqiu: "Thank you, senior, for clearing up the confusion. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Zhou You turned around and prepared to leave.

However, Wang Tiezhu suddenly shouted: "Is it Senior Brother Zhou?"

Zhou You didn't reply, nor did he take off his mask. He just paused and then quickly took off.

Wang Tiezhu gritted his teeth, chased after Zhou You, and said quickly: "Senior Brother Zhou, you and I came from the same sect, and now we have learned about the conspiracy of the Zhengqi Alliance at the same time. I think we should form an alliance."

Zhou You glanced at Wang Tiezhu and shook his head slowly: "You have recognized the wrong person. I am not the senior brother you said."

Wang Tiezhu refused to give up: "Brother, I know you have difficulties, but you have to believe that I will never harm you, nor will I betray you. When I sent the message to you, I was really in danger. I can think of no one only you!"

Zhou You said nothing and continued flying forward.

Wang Tiezhu saw that Zhou You was getting faster and faster, and he could hardly catch up with him, so he took out a jade slip and threw it to Zhou You, gritting his teeth and said: "Senior Brother Zhou, this is my jade slip for transmitting messages, and it also has my cave. Address, you can come to me at any time, and if I have any new information, I will notify you as soon as possible."

The sound transmission jade simplified into a long rainbow and quickly caught up with Zhou You.

Zhou You hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed the jade slip with his backhand. After scanning with his consciousness, he found no clues, and then he turned into a rainbow and left quickly.

Of course Zhou You also knew that it was impossible for Wang Tiezhu to betray him or spread the news about what happened in recent days.

Wang Tiezhu himself must be a member of the Righteous Alliance and want to find nature.

After all, the ancestor soul of Zuo Qiu, the leader of Yin Shen Sect, is in Wang Tiezhu. Zuo Qiu must be the ancestor soul that Lin'an Mansion wants to find, so Wang Tiezhu himself has to be careful in his actions.

…

After Zhou You left, Wang Tiezhu walked in the air and headed for his cave.

"Oh, it would be great if Senior Brother Zhou was willing to join forces with me."

Wang Tiezhu sighed.

Zuoqiu's voice rang out: "This person is unfathomable. It may not be a good thing for you to join forces with him."

Wang Tiezhu frowned and said, "But Senior Brother Zhou won't harm me, right?"

Zuoqiu sneered: "You know people but don't know faces and don't know hearts. It's better for you to practice peacefully, improve your cultivation to the level of pill formation, run away, and don't get involved in the dispute between the Zhengqi Alliance and Taibai Academy."

Wang Tiezhu sighed helplessly: "Okay then, after we go back, we will start collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures that increase the chance of forming an elixir, and strive to form an elixir as soon as possible."

…

At the same time, in a low-level cave in Hengshuifang City.

Liu Hongni, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes with confusion on her face: "Who is he?"

At this moment, Liu Hongni's mind was filled with figures traveling around.

She became more and more curious about Zhou You's identity.

She originally wanted to investigate Zhou You, but after thinking about it carefully, she gave up. She just wanted to make friends with Zhou You, but she didn't want to make enemies, let alone provoke Zhou You.

For Liu Hongni, traveling around was too scary.

"It's a pity that all of Jin Linguang's things were taken away by him. It would be great if he could get those things."

Liu Hongni sighed, but without thinking any more, she stood up and left the cave.

…

At the same time, after Zhou You got rid of Wang Tiezhu, he called out the Golden Feather Eagle and asked the Golden Feather Eagle to take him far away from here to the cave.

The Golden Feather Eagle was extremely fast and arrived outside the cave in a few hours.

After traveling back to the cave, I began to sort out what I had gained from this trip.

This trip to Hengshuifang City was uneventful, and we got a lot of useful information, including the true purpose of the Zhengqi Alliance.
