Chapter 318: Fear
Ancestor Huchen looked at Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng behind him with cold eyes. Huchen Wuding and Zhuo Lingfeng had not yet woken up from the previous shock. Then they heard Ancestor Huchen's cold words as if they came from Jiu From You Difu's words, it was obvious that ancestor Hu Chen decided to kill Li Yan and Li Yan in order to keep Hu Chen Wuding.
Huchen Wuding was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Yan's trump card was his identity as a disciple of the Xiaoshi Sect. He had just given birth to a glimmer of hope, but one word from the ancestor of Huchen made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. He couldn't help but said in a hurry, "Ancestor, If you do this, I will kill myself on the spot. Even if you can restrain me and prevent me from dying, I will definitely give up all cultivation."
As soon as Hu Chen Wu Ding said these words, the ancestor of Hu Chen began to look coldly and became even colder. Hu Chen Wu Ding's words not only did not make him scruple, but made him feel like a family he had not seen in a thousand years. The bloodline genius actually went against the interests of the entire family for the sake of outsiders. He was already burning with anger. He just snorted. Hu Chen suddenly felt that his body could no longer move at all. However, the bodies of Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng were actually He quickly floated in front of Ancestor Huchen.
Huchen Wuding's eyes were red, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could no longer make a sound. Zhuo Lingfeng looked at Li Yan sadly. In front of a Nascent Soul monk, he couldn't even resist. They had all disappeared long ago. With just a look, they lost all ability to resist. The next moment Patriarch Huchen just needed a thought and they were about to perish. But when he saw Li Yan, who was also floating in the air, What he saw was a calm look on Li Yan's face, and he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
"Oh, it seems you are not afraid of death? As I said, the Demon Sect will not come to verify a foundation-building monk alone. Do not many of your Demon Sect disciples die outside every year?" Ancestor Hu Chen looked at it. Li Yan, who was unusually calm, said slowly.
"Since senior has some scruples about his identity as a Shibuyuan disciple, does senior really not want to know my identity in the Demon Sect? Maybe the Demon Sect will really pursue me for the sake of me, a disciple of the Foundation Establishment Period. This also means that Uncertain things. Haha, and we can find out here soon." Although Li Yan couldn't move, Patriarch Hu Chen did not restrain his six senses.
Ever since Patriarch Huchen didn't kill him immediately in the peach blossom forest, Li Yan knew that he had made the right bet. Patriarch Huchen had scruples, especially since his appearance in the Huchen family was seen by outsiders. As for what Patriarch Hu Chen said just now about killing him and Zhuo Lingfeng, it should be true, but he should still want to confirm some information before taking action.
After hearing what Li Yan said, Patriarch Huchen did not act immediately and looked at Li Yan with a sneer on his face.
"The monks above the foundation level of the Sprite Sect all have soul lanterns stored in the sect. I don't know what their soul lanterns are like in the other three major sects, but the soul lanterns of the Sprite Sect are placed by the sect's god-transforming power. The formation preserved in the formation not only has the function of protecting the soul lamp, but also has the great magical power to track the spiritual imprint of the outer disciples. If a disciple dies, as long as an ancestor above Nascent Soul takes action, he can use this. The formation uses the power of essence and blood to track down the place where the fallen disciple’s consciousness finally disappeared. Do you think the Demon Sect can become one of the four major sects?
1. Just let your disciples perish? "Li Yan said slowly and calmly.
After listening to Li Yan's words, Patriarch Huchen's face changed again and again. He had never taken action before because the four major sects not only had strong Nascent Souls, but also possessed the most powerful cultivators in the god-transformation stage in this world. Not to mention being powerful in the Divine Transformation stage, the magical powers possessed by the powerful in the late Yuanying stage are by no means comparable to those in the mid-stage Yuanying stage. The Yuanying monks are by no means as powerful as those in the Golden Elixir and Foundation Establishment stages. Although they can crush the mid-stage stage, But there is also a limitation. Just like if a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core wants to run away, there is a high chance that a monk in the late stage of the Golden Core will not be able to kill him completely. This is not the case in the late Yuanying stage. If he wants to kill a mid-stage Yuanying monk, it is very easy and casual. It is said that the late Yuanying monk has been out of the normal scope of monks because he has touched a trace of the shackles of heaven and earth. Not to mention Old Hu Chen Zu is just a monk who has just entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It is okay to kill ordinary monks in Shibuyuan. As long as he is not an important person of the other party, Shibuyuan will not come forward for this matter, but killing a disciple of the highest sect in charge of him , he still had some hesitation in his heart.
Ancestor Huchen had no way of knowing what means the late Nascent Soul and the God Transformation Stage might have to inform Chedi, but he did know some secrets from the classics. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the God Transformation Stage mighty was a land god, in addition to calling the wind and rain. In addition, he has the unpredictable ability to deduce the heaven and earth and fortune telling.
Ancestor Huchen's expression changed, but the ferocious light in his eyes remained undiminished, just flickering. Judging from Li Yan's previous behavior, he should be an outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Sprite Sect. Although Ancestor Huchen had just He said that disciples of the Demon Sect died every year and would not trace them, but it also meant to test. In fact, he was afraid, otherwise he would know everything by just searching for their souls. But in that way, after the soul search, Li Yan can only be an idiot, which is no different from killing him directly.
Li Yan knew that what he said had made the other party wary, but he still needed the final blow. "Senior, I think you are afraid of misunderstanding, because my destination this time is to go to the Pure Land Sect to handle sect tasks. The 'Xuan Ming Order' is just a private matter for the junior, and it is just done casually. I think as a senior, I must have known that the Xiaoshi Sect had issued an order long ago, asking all disciples to return to the sect to be dispatched, and at this time, the junior is still out and has not returned. , Could it be that senior really thinks that I am going to betray the sect."
Li Yan's words were true and false, false and true, and he didn't mention anything about Patriarch Hu Chen's intention to kill people. It was just a misunderstanding.
In fact, what Li Yan said is that the soul lantern is stored in the formation arranged by the powerful in the transformation stage, and that strong people in the late Nascent Soul stage or monks in the transformation stage can rely on the soul lantern to find out the location of the fallen disciples, etc. This is purely false. Nonsense, he has no idea what role the sect soul lamp can play. He only knows that when a disciple dies, the soul lamp will be extinguished, but the trace of his soul left in the sect is a fake soul. Even if he dies, Fallen,
It will never be extinguished.
But what he just said that you can find some information about the dying person before death based on the soul is by no means a lie. Many monks know this, but those who can do this are definitely ordinary monks. Those who require great magic power can usually do it. Generally speaking, only old monsters with at least Nascent Soul cultivation level or above can do it. In order to protect the safety of their closest relatives, they will leave a trace of the soul of their loved ones around them to cast spells. Refining, but this kind of magical refining magic is so rare that only some people have heard of it. Just like the ancestor of Huchen, although he has been promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he still does not have this magical power cultivation method. It is said that there are only four major sects and very few hidden sects. Only in the world sect can it be possible to retain this kind of magical power.
Li Yan made up a bunch of specious words based on this bit of information. In order to be more realistic, he even explained that even if the sect wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of the fallen disciples, it would require at least a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage or above to use the power of essence and blood to cast spells. However, in this way, the question of why no one follows the death of the monks above the Foundation Establishment level in the Sprite Sect can be explained, because only when important figures of a sect die will it be worthwhile for the old monsters in the late Nascent Soul stage and above to waste their energy. blood for verification.
Then Li Yan pointed out that this is an emergency period, and he came out alone to carry out the sect's mission. This point mirrored the fact that the real Xiaoshi Sect issued an order to let the disciples return to the sect, and the ancestor of Huchen couldn't help but start. Believe it or not, and the most critical point here is this. It is implicitly stated here that although he is only a young foundation-building monk, even if he dies, he will not be worthy of a late-stage Nascent Soul monk who consumes a lot of energy and blood for him. He had magical powers, but Li Yan said that he came with a mission at an unusual time. Things in the sect are big when they are big and small when they are small. However, the timing of Li Yan's appearance shows that the matter is not small.
In normal times, if Li Yan said this, Patriarch Huchen would just sneer at it and not believe it at all. But now, it is a real thing for the Demon Sect to recruit disciples to return to the sect. Unless Li Yan wants to betray the sect, he will ignore it. The secret order of the sect is staying outside. If Li Yan dies, according to ancestor Huchen's speculation, it must be an extremely important task to be able to go out for law enforcement tasks at this time. It is unlikely that it will attract the attention of the Demon Sect, and Li Yan He was not sure whether what he said about the soul lamp was true. For a while, he really didn't dare to gamble.
Although Li Yan was calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous in his heart. He was afraid that this person would kill him regardless of his care. He took part in the assessment today and these last words were both forced to do so. Who made him fall into this turmoil? Yes, but whether you believe it or not can depend on Ancestor Hu Chen’s thoughts.
Ancestor Huchen stared deeply in thought. He suddenly raised his head and stretched out his hand to call. The token originally held in Li Yan's hand flew directly towards him.
Ancestor Huchen carefully looked at the token in Li Yan's hand again. After a long while, he raised his head and said, "Hey, is this token like the sword in Shibuyuan? You got it from someone else." The stolen thing." He chuckled.
"Senior is joking, the Demon Sect's token can be
It is an extraordinary magical weapon. It contains a self-destructing magic circle. You need to shed your own blood to identify its owner before it can be used. Even if others get it, they cannot use it. "Li Yan said respectfully. In fact, he knew very well how a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't know about such a trivial matter.
"Oh, try it." Ancestor Hu Chen flicked his fingers, and the token flew directly towards Li Yan. At the same time, Li Yan's body relaxed, and he suddenly felt that the lost spiritual power control had returned to his body.
Li Yan looked at the flying token, raised his spiritual power, stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly in the air. The token stopped in front of him, and when it was suspended in mid-air, bursts of dark green halo appeared. , a golden bamboo branch slowly emerged above the halo.
"Xiao Zhufeng? Are you a disciple of Da Cen?" Ancestor Hu Chen looked at the golden bamboo branches, and for the first time a trace of emotion appeared on his calm face.
Just when Ancestor Huchen said this, Zhuo Lingfeng's body in the distance shook slightly. Even Huchen Wuding who was supporting him didn't notice such a change in him, but Ancestor Huchen did it inadvertently. He glanced at Zhuo Lingfeng from the corner of his eye.
"Senior, my master, Wei Zhongran, I am the disciple of Patriarch Da Cen." Li Yan had already accepted the token and replied respectfully. He had been a disciple of the sect for several years and already knew several Yuan Ying ancestors of the sect. When Gong Chenying once talked about Zhao Min's life experience, he learned who Wei Zhongran studied under.
Ancestor Hu Chen nodded gently, and a deep fear appeared in his eyes. If there was one person who was the most protective of the five peaks of the Wuliang Sect, it would be Da Cen. Ancestor Hu Chen knew that there were few disciples in Xiaozhu Peak, and Da Cen valued his direct disciples even more. If he had hesitated before, wondering whether the Wuliang Sect would mobilize a large number of troops for him after killing Li Yan, and let a late Yuanying cultivator consume a lot of blood and essence, and then track the murderer according to the soul lamp formation, now he would not gamble. Da Cen was a lunatic, and the disciples he taught were also lunatics. He knew Wei Chongran. He had patrolled and guarded the cracks of Yinmo Cliff when he was in the early Yuanying period, and he had seen Wei Chongran's madness, which was almost the same as Da Cen.
Thinking of this, when Ancestor Hu Chen looked up at Li Yan again, he thought of the fact that when Li Yan faced him wanting to kill him, he still went to the test. This person must be crazy in his heart.
"Oh, it seems that Wuding is lucky to meet you and fellow Taoist Zhuo." With a wave of his hand, the restraints that bound Zhuo Lingfeng and Hu Chen Wuding disappeared in an instant, and the two regained their freedom in astonishment.
Li Yan never mentioned the matter of Hu Chen's killing, as if it had never happened, and Hu Chen also took the opportunity to step down. Although he felt aggrieved, he was a strong man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but he could not do anything to two foundation-building cultivators for a while, but he was a great hero after all. How could someone who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage be an ordinary person? In fact, what he feared most was his family. He dared not gamble with the entire Hu Chen family. In that case, for two lives, he might lose the future of the entire Hu Chen family. Anyone could calculate the gains and losses.
