Chapter 124 Bitterness and Joy

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone turned their attention to Xu Baichuan, their eyes full of scrutiny.

Xu Baichuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, cupped his hands and said:

"Uncle Mingjian, the ancient master, although I come from the Xu family on Haichang Island,

But he had already joined the Ningxuan Sect and had little contact with the family branches.

Even though this jade pendant belongs to the Xu family, it has no direct connection with me. "

Gu Jianchun stared at Xu Baichuan closely:

"Master Nephew Xu, are you sure you have nothing to do with this matter?

The emblem on this jade pendant cannot be imitated casually. "

Xu Baichuan's face changed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated:

"This...this jade pendant belongs to the Xu family on Haichang Island, but there are many branches, how can I recognize them all?

Furthermore, the Xu family’s descendants are spread all over Canglang. How can we determine what they have to do with me based on just a jade pendant? "

Gu Jianchun's eyes were like a torch, and he glanced at Xu Baichuan coldly, without any emotion in his tone:

"Master Nephew Xu, although your words are clever, the truth is difficult to conceal.

Since this jade pendant belongs to the Xu family, you need to give a reasonable explanation.

Until the truth comes out, you will stay here to avoid doing anything inappropriate. "

Xu Baichuan was helpless when he heard this and could only nod in agreement.

He knew very well that Gu Jianchun's character, once decided, was difficult to change.

So, he finally lowered his head feebly,

He was "invited" to a secret room by several law enforcement hall disciples and began to be placed under house arrest.

Di Huaiyi stood up at this time and handed the jade slip recording the magic aura to Gu Jianchun.

Detailed explanation of the scene glimpsed by the "Liuguang Spirit Peeping Technique":

"Uncle Master, the secret techniques used by these evil villains,

After comparison, it is very likely that it is the "Bitterness and Joy" of Heimu Island.

This technique can devour the energy and blood of living beings and enhance the practitioner's cultivation. It is extremely evil. "

Gu Jianchun took the jade slip, closed his eyes for a moment and frowned:

"'Uninterrupted Bitterness and Joy' is a mid-grade Xuan-level secret technique and one of Blackwood Island's signature techniques.

Such a large-scale sacrifice is definitely beyond the capabilities of one or two ordinary demon cultivators, and there must be strong support behind it. "

Chu Feikong added: “Considering the huge amount of energy and blood required for sacrifice,

There are nearly ten thousand mortals, and the bones and blood of dozens of monks are not just a few hundred people fighting in a small way.

The Yue family has already deployed and controlled all nodes on Xuanyue Island.

Many foundation-level formations at the protective sect level have been activated.

If you want to leave with so much flesh and blood, it is very likely that you will be detected by the hidden formation.

If the murderer wanted to do it on the island, he would definitely need the assistance of an extremely concealed formation.

At this time, the Yue family's control over Xuanyue Island was very tight, with large formations spread throughout.

It would be extremely difficult for demonic thugs to perform large-scale sacrifices right under their noses. "

Gu Jianchun nodded in agreement:

"What Fei Kong said is absolutely true.

The murderer is either waiting for a more suitable time,

Either they are continuing to collect Qi and blood in preparation for the final sacrifice. "

The clue seemed to be interrupted, but Chu Feikong proposed a new direction:

"The leader of Liangshan Village is a common man from the Yue family. That lineage didn't have much success before.

Yue Zhimu of this lineage has recently become prominent, and his cultivation has broken through the late stage of Qi refining.

Moreover, his ability to make talismans has also become very powerful, and he can make talismans in the later stages of Qi refining.

As a rare talisman-making master among the Yue family, he may be able to provide us with more clues.

Especially since he has made great progress recently, we can ask this person if he has any clues. "

Upon hearing this, Gu Jianchun immediately decided to go to Yue's house to look for Yue Zhimu.

Yue Family's foundation-building monk Yue Chengfeng led the way, and the group went straight to Yue Zhimu's cave.

However, when they arrived, they found the cave empty.

Then Yue Chengfeng asked other Yue family members in Yue Zhimu's lineage, but none of them knew where he was going.

Yue Chengfeng quickly used the soul card to investigate, and the result was a bit surprising.

Yue Zhimu is actually not in Xuanyue City, but in the north of the island!

"The north side? It's the same as the west side, except for a few large formations.

These are places where the family does not run much, so why would he go there alone? "

Suspicion suddenly arose in Gu Jianchun's heart, and he immediately decided to go and investigate in person.

The Chimu Shuttle, a low-grade spiritual weapon, moved forward at full speed, the flying boat cut through the night sky, and the group quickly arrived at the north of Xuanyue Island.

Not long after landing, we found signs of a fight not far away.

Then the injured Yue Zhimu, Ding Buxing and a Ningxuan Sect disciple were discovered.

Ding Buxing looked pale and eagerly recounted their experience:

"When several of our disciples were patrolling as usual, they encountered a group of evil spirits who were sacrificing sacrifices to the village.

Brother-in-law wanted to discuss Fu Dao with me, but unfortunately he got involved in the battle..."

A few of them broke through and escaped, preparing to bring in reinforcements. There were Ningxuan Sect disciples fighting against the demon cultivators in front of them.

The ancient sword Chun stood on the flying boat, and his spiritual consciousness came out.

Penetrate the darkness and look straight ahead at the area shrouded in demonic energy.

The demonic energy was billowing like a dark cloud, with a heart-stopping sense of oppression, and from time to time low roars and weird laughter could be heard.

"Everyone listens to the order, the demonic energy is surging ahead, there is obviously a demonic demon at work here,

Moreover, the disciples of our sect are fighting fiercely with the enemy. As members of the Ningxuan sect, how can we sit back and ignore them? "

Gu Jianchun shouted loudly, arousing the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.

"yes!"

The disciples responded in unison, and the flying boat accelerated, piercing the night sky and heading straight towards the chaotic place.

As the distance got closer, the sound of fierce fighting among the monks became clearer.

The sonorous sound of weapons clashing, the roaring sound of spells colliding,

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burnt food, making people frown.

At this moment, Yue Chengfeng walked quickly to Gu Jianchun and said solemnly:

"Senior Brother Gu, Yue Zhimu, Ding Buxing and the injured Ningxuan Sect disciple need to be treated as soon as possible.

It is not appropriate to participate in the upcoming battle. I have arranged for a reliable Yue family member to escort them back to Xuanyue City. "

Hearing this, Gu Jianchun nodded slightly:

“You did the right thing, put the wounded first and let them leave first.

After we clean up these demons, we can meet again. "

Yue Chengfeng immediately turned around and ordered to a young Yue family member next to him:

"Yue Lin, you should immediately escort Yue Zhimu, Senior Brother Ding, and this Senior Brother from the Ningxuan Sect back to the city for treatment. You must proceed with caution."

"Yes, Brother Chengfeng!"

A disciple of the Yue family named Yue Lin came out in response. He quickly organized a group of three people.

He carefully helped the seriously injured Yue Zhimu, Ding Buxing and the Ningxuan Sect disciple onto the flying boat that had been prepared.

"Everyone, take care!" Yue Zhimu's voice was weak.

Ding Buxing also held up his body and cast a grateful glance at everyone.

When the flying boat was about to approach the area filled with demonic energy and fierce fighting,

Qingchen's heart sank inexplicably.

Qingchen didn't want to participate in the battle ahead at all.

To protect these mortals who are beyond his reach?

He really wasn't interested.
