Chapter 1613 Speculation

Forty-nine golden thunder swords surged towards the overwhelming Tai Chi pattern.

Without any sound of collision, the sword lights continued to slash at the crushing Tai Chi pattern.

The sword energy dissipated under the annihilation of Yin and Yang, and as more and more sword energy hit the Tai Chi pattern, its surface became distorted and uneven.

While the sword energy emitted by the sword formation was still in a stalemate with the three Tai Chi patterns that covered the sky and the sun, the surrounding space could no longer bear it and collapsed on a large scale.

The sword shadows formed by the sword formation that surrounded the world also shattered under the crush of the Tai Chi pattern condensed by Yin and Yang.

The forty-nine golden thunder swords trembled violently, and most of the sword lights they emitted had been annihilated, and cracks appeared on the Tai Chi pattern.

The Tianyan Sword Formation is a magical power taught by the God of Death. It originated from the Immortal Realm and its power is not comparable to that of the Tianyuan Realm. However, Tang Ning's cultivation is slightly inferior to that of the opponent. In addition, the opponent has the magical power of Qihua Sanqing. The three of them simultaneously perform the Tai Chi diagram of Yin and Yang Hunyuan. Therefore, in the confrontation, the sword formation gradually loses the upper hand.

Seeing that the tearing space is getting bigger and bigger and about to affect himself, Tang Ning's figure retreats, and the sword formation circling around him also retreats with him.

Kong Rui, who was standing aside, had already left this place.

The mysterious monk saw Tang Ning retreating, but did not press forward. The two light shadows separated from him turned into a ball of light and returned to his body. Then he flashed and went to the back.

Tang Ning's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not chase.

He had already vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, so there was no need to chase. This person was not an easy person. He was not sure of winning. If someone from the other party came to help, his situation would be even more dangerous.

The reason why the other party retreated when they took the initiative in the battle was that they knew he had a backup plan.

After all, this is Linzi County, and the headquarters of the Qingzhou coalition is here. It is not good for them to entangle with him.

In the previous spiritual confrontation, he used the death field, and the other party must be afraid of it.

If he is right, this mysterious late Mahayana cultivator is neither a great cultivator of Shangqing Sect, nor a great cultivator of Daode Sect, nor a demon of Mubei.

His true identity is the same as Zhang Shilin, a returnee from the abandoned land, the one named Yan Jiuzheng.

Feng Qinghan revealed the specific information of the thirteen returnees from the abandoned land. Yan Jiuzheng was the first to arrive at the Tianyuan Realm, and also the first to break through the middle stage of Mahayana cultivation. Among the thirteen returning practitioners, there are only two middle stage Mahayana cultivators.

Another person is named Zhou Ziliang. Although he is also a middle stage Mahayana cultivator, he broke through this realm much less than Yan Jiuzheng, so he is the only one who can break through to the late stage of Mahayana during this period.

He didn't know much about Yan Jiuzheng, except that he was one of the first people to go to the Abandoned Land. Yan Jiuzheng should be a figure in the early Fourth Epoch, which was long before the establishment of the four major sects, and there was no such thing as the secret skills of the sects. Therefore, it was not surprising that he could master the so-called secret skills of Shangqing Sect and Daode Sect.

In addition, Yan Jiuzheng was one of the few people in the Abandoned Land who saw the gods of the fairy world appear with their own eyes. The so-called re-establishment of the fairy world space channel was also passed from his mouth to Xin Yi and others in the dead world.

Tang Ning guessed that the reason why Yan Jiuzheng ambushed and attacked him should be related to Feng Qinghan's death. Perhaps they already knew that it was him who killed Feng Qinghan, or at least they suspected him.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he became curious after hearing about his rapid progress in cultivation.

Yan Jiuzheng didn't know that he had broken through the middle stage of Mahayana. With his late Mahayana cultivation and powerful magical powers, he would definitely not take a Mahayana cultivator in his early stage seriously, so he dared to sneak into Qingzhou alone and carry out this ambush.

He must have heard about his close relationship with Shang from somewhere, so he decided to start with Shang Haoxuan and lure him out.

Poor Shang Haoxuan suffered this unprovoked disaster.

After realizing that he had advanced to the middle stage of Mahayana, Yan Jiuzheng still chose to take action, which shows that he is very confident.

He has the capital to be arrogant. If he hadn't been taught by the God of Death, ordinary middle stage Mahayana cultivators would never be his opponents.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, how are you? Are you not injured?" At this time, Kong Rui, who had gone far away, came to him, and his expression unconsciously showed a bit of awe.

"I'm fine." Tang Ning shook his head, looking at the direction where Yan Jiuzheng was going, pretending to be puzzled and said: "This person not only has the cultivation of the late Mahayana, but also has mastered the secret skills of Shangqing Sect and Daode Sect. I wonder who he is?"

Kong Rui also frowned: "Yes! This is too shocking. Qihua Sanqing and Yinyang Hunyuan are the world-famous secret skills of Shangqing Sect and Daode Sect. They will not be taught to disciples who have made great contributions except for their own direct lineage. How could this person master these two secret skills at the same time?"

"But then again, how could Brother Tang Dao be able to fight against the masters of Shangqing Sect and Daode Sect on his own? A late Mahayana cultivator who has mastered the unique skills of the sect. I really admire him. I am afraid that only fellow Daoist can compete with him. "

"The power of the sword formation used by fellow Daoist is so great that it can be said to be unprecedented. The late Mahayana cultivator with mysterious origins can only resist the attack of fellow Daoist's sword formation with the Qihua Sanqing plus the Yin-Yang Hunyuan magical power. No wonder fellow Daoist was able to kill the middle Mahayana royal blood of the Ice Phoenix clan in adversity. Aotian's death is not unjust! "

"In my opinion, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire Tianyuan world who can withstand the power of fellow Daoist's sword formation. "

"I have really opened my eyes today. "

Tang Ning responded calmly: "Fellow Daoist Kong is exaggerating. In fact, I have been defeated. It's just that the mysterious monk was worried that this was the hinterland of the coalition headquarters and was worried that it would cause trouble if he continued to entangle, so he chose to retreat."

"He probably thought that fellow Taoist Tang was still in the early stage of Mahayana. He never expected that fellow Taoist Tang had broken through the middle stage of Mahayana. At this time, the arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to shoot, so he took the risk and decided to take action."

"Now that the murderer has appeared, I don't think there is any need to go to your mansion anymore. This matter is not trivial. I have to go back to the Qingzhou Alliance to report to Senior Brother Han immediately."

"Okay, let's go to see Fellow Daoist Han together. This person's purpose is unclear, his cultivation is advanced, and his powers are vast. If he stays in Qingzhou, there will be endless troubles. We must use all our strength to find him out."

The two of them jumped into the air and returned to the Qingzhou Alliance Army.

…

In the spacious and bright hall, Han Siyuan sat at the main seat. After listening to Tang Ning's story, he frowned and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Kong Rui answered from the side.

"Junior Brother Tang, what do you think?"

"This person killed Shang Haoxuan obviously to attract me to show up, and he obviously came for me. In today's world, there are only a handful of human monks in the late Mahayana period, and there are only a dozen people from Xuanmen, Chamber of Commerce, and aristocratic families combined. , they are all famous people in the world, and I have no enmity with them. I didn’t expect them to be so disregardful of the overall situation and come to Qingzhou to ambush me alone. "

Han Siyuan was thoughtful: "You mean, it's related to the mysterious organization behind Zhang Shilin?"

"Other than them, I can't think of any other possibility. There are no human monks from the late Mahayana period among the Mubei demons, but there are one or two among the Southwest demons. But I had no grudges with them in the past. Even the Queen of the Ice Phoenix Clan has no grudges these days. If they didn’t come to trouble me, they would be even less likely to take such a big risk and come to Qingzhou to ambush me.”

After Tang Ning finished speaking, Kong Rui asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Han, what is the mysterious organization you are talking about?"

"This is not top-secret information, and there is no need to hide it from Fellow Daoist Kong. I believe Fellow Daoist Kong must have heard about Zhang Shilin."

"I have heard that this person was originally a disciple of Cang Ming Sect and the manager of the Fifth Alliance Army of our headquarters. He disappeared in the space crack outside Fengyu City. Later he appeared in Liangzhou and killed the disciple of Daode Sect Qingxuan Hall and the leader of Daode Sect. Came to investigate.”

"Based on the clues obtained by the Tao Te Sect, it is suspected that there is a mysterious organization behind this person. The late Mahayana monk may be a member of this organization."

Kong Rui was surprised and asked: "There is such a powerful secret organization in the spiritual world? Even late Mahayana monks exist? How can such an organization be so watertight that it has not been discovered for so many years?"

"There is no conclusive evidence to confirm the existence of this organization, and the Daode Sect is only suspicious. It is currently speculated that they may be the advance team of the demon clan, sneaking into the Tianyuan world by seizing bodies to provide intelligence for the demon clan's invasion. "

"Why didn't this news reach the Qingzhou Allied Forces? The advance team of the demons sneaked into our midst. This is no small matter."

"Isn't this a lack of conclusive evidence? The Taoist Sect is just a guess, not to mention that Qingzhou has not found any traces of the existence of this mysterious organization, so the news is not made public to avoid panic and panic." Han Siyuan frowned and said: "Junior Brother Tang, if you guess That’s right. If that mysterious late Mahayana monk really belongs to the secret organization behind Zhang Shilin, why would they attack you?”

"I don't know. Maybe my previous investigation of Zhang Shilin attracted their attention. It's the same reason why Aotian of the Ice Phoenix tribe wanted to ambush me."

"Now that this person has appeared in Qingzhou, we must step up our guard. An unknown late-stage Mahayana monk who comes and goes alone is a great threat to us. We need to find out his origin as soon as possible. This matter must be reported to the headmaster immediately , and then notify the Shangqing Sect, Daode Sect, and Yuxu Sect that it is best to jointly form a powerful investigation team."

"This person has mastered both the Shangqing sect's secret knowledge and the Taoism sect's secret knowledge. Perhaps he has some connection with these two sects. I want to go back to the sect in person and report the matter to the master in person. Go to Shangqing Sect and Daode Sect for advice."

"Junior Brother Tang wants to go in person? Now you are at the forefront of the storm. The enemy is hiding in the dark and may be watching your movements from some corner. Just in case, I advise you to stay in the headquarters. I will also Send someone to convey this news to the Headmaster immediately."

"Soldiers are very fast. I'll go back quickly without wasting time. If I wait for the following disciples to take the Leizi boat to and from the sect, it will take several years. The mysterious monk failed to ambush this time. I don't expect him to be able to do anything in a short time. What’s more, I can come and go by myself without a fixed route or location, so it’s not easy for him to ambush me.”

"Now that Junior Brother Tang has made up his mind, okay! Just be careful along the way."
