Chapter 242: Run Away After the Job Is Done!
There were two people who were marked by the image bead before, in addition to the demon cultivator, there was also a cultivator.
The reason why Shen Lian chose the demon cultivator was mainly because it was the right choice to fight against the demon cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation.
It was normal for the demon cultivator to be killed for committing many evil deeds, and it was a happy thing for everyone.
Another reason was that the demon cultivator was easy to find.
Just when he came out of the retreat and wandered around three mining cities, he found the news of the demon cultivator in the image bead from the sea of thoughts of some helpful Taoist friends.
This demon is called Tian Wenjing!
This demon cultivator Tian Wenjing is very famous in the nearby mining area, and his hands are stained with the blood of many Jindan cultivators.
This demon is extremely cunning. He was easily dodged by the Jindan sect several times. Even if there is a slight disturbance, this demon will drill into the corners deep in the mountains.
The Abyss Demon Sect disaster lasted for decades before, and many demon cultivators in Tianzhu Mountain were involved in the Abyss Demon Sect, but this Tian Mo avoided the disaster and hid for decades at once, waiting until the demon chaos was settled before he came out again.
The news Shen Lian obtained in the mining city was all about how this demon cultivator killed cruelly, and there was no mention of his identity as the Exiled Immortal Tower.
To this day, he is not very clear about the organizational structure within the Exiled Immortal Tower.
Qian Dai did say that there would be exiled immortal envoys patrolling every area of the Exiled Immortal Tower, and the strength of the exiled immortal envoys is mostly at the fourth-level Nascent Soul realm.
The one who entered the Yunshang Sect and robbed the five spiritual roots cultivator before was in the early Nascent Soul stage.
But this does not mean that all exiled immortal envoys are in the early Nascent Soul stage. It can only be said that the level of immortal cultivation in the area near the South China Sea is too low, so the Exiled Immortal Tower sent Nascent Soul cultivators of the corresponding level to come.
Based on this inference, the two Jindan-level cultivators he found should be the peripheral forces controlled by the exiled immortal envoy.
He, a small Jindan, quietly founded the Bu Tian Sect, so it is normal for the Yuanying ancestor to recruit a few Jindan working immortals.
Half a month later.
Shen Lian found news about the demon cultivator Tian Wenjing near a city called Fengya Mining City.
This demon recently did a big business. A batch of ore escorted back to the family of the Jindan Yu family near Fengya Mining City was robbed by this demon, and nearly a hundred clansmen including the fake Dan cultivator of the Yu family were killed.
The breeze swept over the hills, and in the depths of the dense mountain forests, Shen Lian's figure slowly appeared in the dim shade of the trees, and took a look at the surrounding environment.
Looking down from where he stood, he could still see the collapsed mountains and the traces of burning left by the spell.
Shen Lian rubbed his fingers, and a talisman with a little man outlined appeared in his hand.
Then the talisman spontaneously combusted. After burning, the pattern of the little man on it shook in the air, stretched and hooked its back, and turned into a puppet little man. It jumped to a distant tree branch in three or two steps, lowered its head and sniffed fiercely.
"Buzz!"
Shen Lian threw out six puppet little men in succession.
The seven little men turned into seven streams of light and rushed down the mountain. One by one, they held seals with their hands, muttered something, and wandered back and forth in this area.
Half an incense stick later, the seven people returned to Shen Lian, each holding a wisp of magic energy in their hands, which gathered on one of the little men.
"Go."
Shen Lian pointed to the distance, and the little man with the magic energy rushed to the distance. The other six little men followed closely, as if they were having fun, constantly wandering around and sniffing everywhere.
The new talisman that combined the tracking talisman and the puppet talisman was also put into actual combat for the first time.
Shen Lian followed the puppet tracking talisman man into the deep mountains. The seven little men would alternately hold up the magic energy they had collected before, and the remaining six would search along the way.
One day later, in a valley, the seven puppet tracking little talisman men held up the magic energy and turned around in the valley, like running around without a head, and could not get out of the valley.
Shen Lian checked the surrounding environment and found that this area was not the hiding place of the magic cultivator.
The puppet tracking little talisman man turned around because he lost the breath of the magic cultivator. Either the magic energy was dispersed or it was swept away in advance.
The seven puppets turned around in a hurry. Under the guidance of Shen Lian, they formed a formation and suspended the magic energy they had collected before in the air. The seven people gathered together on the spot, burning, and a burst of talisman fire immediately ignited the suspended magic energy.
"Go!"
When the demonic energy was ignited, another puppet talisman appeared in Shen Lian's hand, which turned into a black snake-like creature, and suddenly flew into the air and approached the ignited demonic energy.
This black snake-like puppet spirit, with its aura reaching the middle stage of the third stage, hovered around the burning demonic energy and spit out snake leads, and finally went away.
Shen Lian's figure flashed, and he followed the black snake.
At the same time, five puppet men jumped out of his body, and jumped and fell to the place where the puppet talisman man was burning before.
Some held shovels, and some held brooms. After cleaning up, they burned the residue, inserted their tools into their waists, and took out a big pushan and began to fan wildly.
Finally, they buried some small things here as a small opportunity for those who came later, and then jumped and turned into a stream of light to catch up with Shen Lian.
…
“Huh.”
In the underground cracks deep in the mountains, blood-colored spiritual bans appeared one after another, locking the blood energy in the cracks.
If you listen quietly, you can hear the sound of water flowing in the cracks, but if you go deeper, you can find that the water here is bright red, and pieces of blood and flesh are floating on it.
The blood water gathered in the cave deep in the cracks, forming a blood lake.
The water surface rippled, and occasionally the waves exploded violently, and a strange fish with fangs sprang out, swallowing up the floating flesh and blood.
Under the bright red water, a group of ferocious strange fish swung their tails.
Suddenly, a large flowing net popped down and caught several fat strange fish, and then dragged them deep into the cave with a whooshing sound.
Tian Wenjing grabbed a strange fish in the fishing net with his big hand, and inserted his fingers into the fish scales. A stream of blood flowed out of the strange fish's mouth, and he swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
When all the blood and energy from the strange fish was drained, he smashed the strange fish to the rock wall in the distance, and was smashed into dregs by the spiritual light emitted by the spiritual ban.
After devouring the blood of several strange fish one after another, he still did not calm down.
A round jade talisman with a ball embedded in it appeared in his hand.
He has already reported the news of the discovery of the Five Elements Spiritual Power. As usual, there will be a new edict for him to continue to track down the monks who have the Five Elements Magical Power remaining.
But it's been several months, and there's still no news from above.
The reason why he intercepted Hu Luyangshan was because of the rules set by the banished immortal envoy. Regardless of the means or process, whoever can discover the high-level five spiritual root monks will be rewarded with a big reward.
For this reason, Lu Yangshan is still looking for him and even injured him a lot.
…
at the same time.
In the main hall of a secret realm, a female cultivator sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced. She slowly opened her eyes and looked to the left and right.
"My lord, haven't you come back yet?"
"Replying to Madam, your Excellency has not come back yet."
After nodding, the female cultivator slowly walked off the bed.
Then, she looked at the jade messenger hanging on the screen in the distance.
"Which one was on just now?"
The little maid who was guarding near the screen said, "It's the same person who said he found traces of the Five Spiritual Root monks before. He just sent another message. It should be that the lady ignored him and wanted to ask more questions."
"I don't know what it means."
The female cultivator walked out of the hall and entered the hot spring without even looking at it.
"Your Excellency has returned with the high-level five-spirit-root female cultivator from the Southern Continent. She has already made great achievements and will most likely be transferred away from that remote place in the Southern Continent.
You said that if you report back now, do you want to take care of it or not? If you take care of it, wouldn't it make the new Southern Continent's Immortal Envoy look bad?
Your Excellency is about to be transferred from the Southern Continent. This is the time to be happy, so don’t bother Your Excellency with these trivial matters. "
"Besides, these monks are like rain when they hear the wind. When they find a trace of five spiritual roots, they can blow it to the sky. How many times can they get things done?"
…
Tianzhu Mountain, inside the cave.
Tian Wenjing looked at the dim jade talisman with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Damn it."
At this moment, he wanted to crush the jade talisman into pieces.
Half a day later.
Tian Wenjing, who was sitting cross-legged, was shocked, and then a bright demonic aura bloomed from his body.
The surrounding spiritual taboos imprinted on the rock walls of the cave turned into a torrent and surged in front of him, forming a bloody protective armor.
In an instant, he had taken all precautions.
Seeing that the demon cultivator had prepared a comprehensive defense and had broken through the restrictions and entered the cave, Shen Lian, the divine power in the sea of divine thoughts quickly gathered towards the villain.
A black slightly curved soul gun appeared.
This was how he looked when he used his soul attack in the past.
But this time, after the black arc-shaped soul gun manifested, another slightly shorter and more curved black spear appeared immediately next to it.
The two lances were fused together at the ends.
And from this point of view, the spear looks more like the two claws of a sharp claw. The black spear head is the nail of the claw, and the curved arc is just a joint that has not been fully revealed.
The branches of the two sharp claws were more than a hundred feet in size, and there were clouds of soul energy lingering on them, exuding a terrifying aura that was about to tear everything apart.
"Ah... you are not Lu Yangshan."
Tian Wenjing shuddered. At this moment, his soul villain was hiding in a soul armor made entirely of soul shadows. He felt the two sharp claws tearing apart his sea of souls, trembling involuntarily.
"No……"
The sharp claws fell and scratched lightly.
Tian Wenjing let out a scream of pain that pierced his soul. His armor, which was strong enough to withstand the attack of the late Jindan Divine Soul, cracked in half. The terrifying force even cut his Divine Soul villain in half, leaving only A little bit of soul clings to it.
Seeing that the soul of the late-stage Jindan demon cultivator was about to be cut in half, Shen Lian immediately withdrew his magical power, and his two claws shook and dispersed. If it really swept down, he would not even have a chance to search for the soul.
That's it, it's too late.
The split Tian Wenjing's soul swayed, and with a "pop" the whole thing shattered and turned into broken soul power.
Shen Lian quickly suppressed his shattered soul power and began to search for memories.
This time the divine soul attack transformed from a spear into a sharp claw, which was beyond Shen Lian's expectations, and the power was beyond imagination. In view of the fact that the purity of his divine soul had doubled, he deliberately used the attack when launching the attack. The force is compressed to 50%.
Unexpectedly, with only half of the attack power, even the old demon in the late stage of Jindan couldn't bear it.
After half a stick of incense, a wisp of soul smoke emerged from the top of Tian Wen's camera. Before it could fly, it was struck into nothingness by a ball of lightning.
Old devil, don't take up the space of reincarnation and leave it to other Taoists with innocent backgrounds.
Shen Lian opened his hands, and several streams of light flew from all over the cave to his palms, and then he rushed out of the cave in a flash.
Boom!
Soon, a dull roar came from the mountains and fields, and the earth collapsed and sank, burying the cracks in the ground, and wisps of blood and qi spread out from everywhere.
This time, due to the direct attack of divine thoughts, not much breath was left, but Shen Lian was still worried, so he deliberately made a bigger noise here.
I believe that with the habits of the cultivators who make a living in Tianzhu Mountain, they will soon turn this place upside down.
Then, he went north without stopping.
…
While fleeing, Shen Lian flipped through the memory fragments of Tian Wenjing.
But the news he got made him frown.
This demon cultivator can only be regarded as a helper recruited by the exiled immortal envoy at best. Not to mention the core, he can barely even be the periphery.
He has only met the exiled immortal envoy once, and he still watched from afar.
In addition, Shen Lian also found that the trap he had set before was snatched by Tian Wenjing, but unfortunately, there was no movement after reporting it for several months.
This result was something he had not expected before.
It can only be said that being a working immortal outside is also hard.
In addition, he also found the communication jade talisman and the beads that absorb the five elements of magic power. After a careful inspection, Shen Lian burned them to ashes.
According to Tian Wenjing's memory, the exiled immortal envoys have gathered many Jindan helpers, and the relationship between them is more like employment.
They help the exiled immortal envoys to find the traces of the five spiritual roots cultivators. Once they are found out, they will not be needed in the future, and they will be rewarded with some cultivation resources.
It can be seen from this that killing this demon cultivator this time will most likely not arouse the suspicion of the cultivators in the Exiled Immortal Tower.
After all, the demon cultivators have done too many immoral things, and it is normal for a demon cultivator to die.
Despite this, Shen Lian did not stop and began to rush towards the direction of Zhonglu.
Next, he needs to figure out the problem of his magical powers in his body, and find out the problem as soon as possible so that he can be promoted to the late Jindan stage.
Although there was something wrong with his body, it was a good thing. It allowed him to pretend to be a cultivator with thunder spirit roots, and blast out the real Kuishui Divine Thunder and Gengjin Divine Thunder.
Without the assistance of Lei Bao, no one would believe that he was not a thunder spirit root.
…
Zhonglu, Yunduan Fairy City.
One year later.
In the north of Taixuan Territory, a huge mountain like a natural moat stretched between heaven and earth.
This mountain was the place where Taixuan Territory of Tiannan South Continent and Zhongnan Territory of Tiannan Central Continent met.
On the top of the mountain, clouds and mist rolled, and streams of light came from the southeast, northwest, and rushed into Yunduan Fairy City on the top of the mountain.
