Chapter 1278 Two Guards
As the sandstorm vortex rotates, the stone pillar gradually descends with the surrounding ground, and Qingyang also falls with the ground. When it reaches a certain level, the surrounding sand suddenly surges forward, burying the sunken place. The surroundings suddenly returned to purity, and Qingyang had appeared outside the ruins, while the half of the stone pillar disappeared somewhere unknown.
I finally came out. I never expected that it would have been more than thirty years since I left. Now when I came out again, I had gone from a fourth-level golden elixir monk to a ninth-level golden elixir monk.
Now that Yu Mengmiao's problem has been alleviated, there is no need to go to Ghost Valley anymore. Although his strength has been greatly improved, it is still not enough to face a behemoth like Ghost Valley.
True Lord Youmu crossed the river and demolished the bridge and attempted to kill people, so he would definitely not let him go easily. And True Lord Youshi knew that he had a grudge against his three missing disciples, and he would definitely cause trouble for him. If they used the power of the Ghost Valley to deal with him , I don’t have much room for maneuver, so I might as well go back to Fallen Ghost Abyss first to see how the One-Horned Ghost King is doing, and if I can help.
Thinking of this, Qingyang stamped his feet and was about to fly into the sky when a sand dune in front of him suddenly exploded. Then two monks appeared in front of Qingyang. The cultivation base of these two people was perfect in the golden elixir, which was better than Qingyang's cultivation level. In order to make a lot of money, he looked at Qingyang seriously.
The golden elixir monk on the left pointed at Qingyang and said, "Did you just come out of the ruins?"
Qingyang was a little confused. What did these two people do? Why did they ask themselves this question as soon as they came up? Didn't Zhenren Guihe say that only Zhenjun Hunli knew the secret of the ruins and that no one had visited it for six hundred years? Why do you know about the ruins when you meet a random person?
Although he was confused in his heart, Qingyang was not slow to deny it and said directly: "No."
After hearing this, the Jindan monk suddenly became angry and said: "This desert is vast and boundless, and the surrounding situation can be seen at a glance. Apart from being teleported from the ruins, how can you explain your sudden appearance here? How dare you in front of me? Lie in front of us?"
Qingyang was very dissatisfied with the Jindan monk's arrogant attitude and said, "Since I know, you still ask? Besides, who do you think you are? Why should I answer you?"
The golden elixir monk was also angered by Qingyang's words. He snorted coldly and said, "Just because we are from Ghost Valley, and because we are stronger than you, kid? I advise you to answer honestly. It’s our problem, otherwise you will have to walk around without food.”
"I really didn't expect that after decades of not seeing each other, Ghost Valley's prestige is getting bigger and bigger. I want to see how you can make me walk around without food." Qingyang was not to be outdone.
"You're looking for death." The golden elixir monk was so angry at Qingyang that he stamped his feet and was about to rush towards Qingyang. Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, the golden elixir monk on the right quickly grabbed his companion and said : "Don't be impatient. It's better to ask clearly before speaking."
Then the golden elixir monk on the right looked at Qingyang and said, "Fellow Taoist, please forgive me, because a few disciples of my Ghost Valley disappeared into the ruins for no reason a long time ago. After that, Ghost Valley sent several batches of disciples in, and they all No clues were found, but the missing disciples were too important and the sect was unwilling to give up, so they sent the two of us to guard here. Now thirty years have passed, but there are no clues at all. Today, fellow Taoist Appearing here suddenly, my whereabouts are too strange. My companion spoke a little too hastily in his haste, please forgive me, fellow Taoist."
Several disciples disappeared into the ruins for no reason? No clues found in Ghost Valley? Listening to this, Zhenjun Youmu didn't know what happened in the ruins. Could it be that Zhenren Guixia didn't escape Zhenren Guihe's pursuit?
But think about it, it is really possible. Guixia's strength is lower than Qingyang, and he may not have his luck. It is not unusual to be caught up and killed by the Blackwater Demon Snake and Guihe. After that, Guihe only needs to remain anonymous. , Zhenjun Youmu is unlikely to find out the truth.
This is exactly what happened. At first, Master Guihe and the Blackwater Demon Snake acted separately. Master Guihe chased Qingyang, and the Blackwater Demonic Snake went to deal with Master Guixia. However, Qingyang escaped into the fog, and Master Guihe I heard about the power of the fog from Zhenjun Youmu, and felt that it was impossible for Qingyang to come out alive, so he immediately turned around and chased Zhenren Guixia. In this case, Zhenren Guixia had no chance of escaping and eventually died. In the hands of Master Guihe.
After solving all the problems, Master Guihe cleaned up several battlefields, and then briefly searched the entire ruins. Seeing that Qingyang really failed to come out, he brought the Lingming Heshou Pill and the Black Water Demonic Snake. He left the ruins and hid somewhere else incognito.
Youmu Zhenjun is limited to his status as a Nascent Soul cultivator. This matter has not left the Ghost Valley from beginning to end. Although the Lingmingheshou Pill is very important, he thinks that this matter is led by his own personal guard Guihe Zhenren. , six more Jindan late-stage guards accompanied him, and his daughter Guixia Zhenren supervised the whole process. In addition, the location of the ruins was south of the Ghost Valley's sphere of influence. The possibility of an accident in this matter was extremely slim, so he This has always been very reassuring.
Who knew that such a sure thing would happen unexpectedly? Master Youmu calculated the day when the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus matured, expecting Master Guihe and his men to complete their mission and report back. As a result, when the time came, no message came back. At first, Master Youmu thought that things were not going well, but after waiting for a few more days, he not only did not wait for the expected message, but instead sensed the sign that the soul lock on his personal bodyguard Master Guihe was cracked.
The soul lock was the confidence of Master Youmu to send Master Guihe. Now that the soul lock was cracked, it meant that Master Guihe had betrayed, and this matter had been prepared. Although Mi did not sense the restrictions on his daughter, Master Youmu also knew that the formation outside the ruins might isolate these means, and his daughter might have been killed by Master Guihe.
Even if Master Youmu was slow-witted, he knew that things had gotten out of hand. He regretted thinking that because of his overconfidence, he might lose the Lingming Heshou Pill, which was extremely important to his ancestor. If he had known that his subordinates were so unreliable, he would have led people to guard outside the ruins to prevent Master Guihe from escaping, even if he risked other cultivators knowing the truth.
But it was useless to regret now. He could only try his best to make up for it. So he led a group of Jindan cultivators to the outside of the ruins as quickly as possible. Of course, he did not reveal the matter of the Lingming Heshou Pill. He told Youhun Valley that his daughter went out to practice and got lost in a ruin.
