Su Yihua was afraid that he would be discovered. When he retreated, not only did he hide his Qi dynamic, he also erased the traces he left behind. As there was no one around, he could only cast an invisibility spell and hid behind the statue.
As long as he himself did not move, or no one went around this place, he would not be discovered.
Xiao Shen led the three elders to fly in the air and soon arrived at the front of the mountain. She looked down and sensed that the spiritual vigor here was much stronger than other places. However, after taking a look, she said, "Elders, take a look. Is there anything unusual about the shape of the mountain?"
To her left, an elder with the surname Yu was more than eight hundred years old. He was one of the few people in the Fengling Ocean and was knowledgeable. He said, "Palace Master, you are right. The mountain is where the Qi of the earth surges. This mountain is made up of mud and sand, and the Qi is suppressed below. It must have been built by the later generations. Although the spiritual vigor here is strong, I dare to say that if one enters the mountain, he will not be able to sense it."
Xiao Shen asked, "Elder Yu, do you know what is the purpose of building the mountain?"
Elder Yu stroked his beard and said, "Looking at the shape, it does not look like an altar. I think there might be something hidden below. It might be a tomb chamber."
"Tomb chamber?"
Xiao Shen's eyes brightened. The other elders looked at each other and they were all excited.
Even if a normal cultivator was successful in his cultivation, after the Primordial Spirit left, the spiritual vigor would dissipate. Their bodies would rot after decades. As there were evil cultivators who used corpses to cultivate, they would not be left behind. They would not use their mana to remove it, and it was rare for them to be buried under rocks. Unless it was the remains of a mighty person, it would not rot for tens of thousands of years.
And the person who was buried in the mountain as a tomb. This person's identity must be extraordinary.
The few of them did not purposely lower their voices. Su Yihua, who was hiding in the temple, heard them clearly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. However, he was annoyed. Why did he not see it Just Now? This opportunity was going to be taken by these people.
Elder Yu looked at everyone's expression and smiled, "Don't be too happy. If it was a human emperor, he might not be able to build such a huge mountain." He pointed to the middle of the mountain and said, "There is a temple there. There was no harm in going there to take a look. Perhaps we can find out the origin of the owner of this place. If it's really a mortal palace tomb, we don't have to waste our efforts. "
Xiao Shen nodded and said, "That makes sense."
She led the three elders into the temple. Inside the cave. Seeing the appearance of the deity statue. They were also astonished and whispered a few words to each other. They were certain that the person buried here was not an ordinary person. In that case, it was very likely that he would be able to find something good at the foot of the mountain.
There were no formations or spiritual vigor here, so they were not in the mood to look around. Just as they were about to leave, Xiao Shen suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and walked towards the statue.
Su Yihua immediately tensed up. If he were to clash with the four of them, he wouldn't be afraid. Even if he couldn't defeat them, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape.
But he was afraid that the commotion here would attract others, especially that demon cultivator from the Carp Tribe or the Python Tribe. This person was a third stage realm cultivator and no matter what, he would not be able to defeat him.
Xiao Shen came to the front of the god statue and stopped after about ten steps. She bowed and said, "Senior, junior will be opening my palace acupoint in a moment. I have offended you, please forgive me for being disrespectful."
Saying that, she bowed deeply three times. After that, she led the three elders and left.
Su Yihua then put down his worried heart. But at this moment, he started to hesitate. Previously he didn't know that there was something strange below but now that he knew, he wasn't willing to leave just like that. He thought to himself, "It's not too late to leave after I see what the three of them have taken."
A thousand miles away from this mountain, Wei Zihong sat cross-legged in the air. His hands were constantly forming hand signs. The surrounding black smoke and baleful qi surged like a tide, enveloping a radius of a few miles and completely covering Zhou Zishang's figure. Other than that, he had also set up another array flag outside. He was confident that with this setup, the opponent would definitely not be able to escape. As long as the magical power dissipated, it would be the time to be beheaded.
As for the opponent's identity as a disciple of Ding Yang Zhou Clan, he didn't care at all. Not to mention that the opponent had the intention to kill first, even if it wasn't, at this stage of the battle, there was no room for mercy. He had to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.
After waiting for an hour, he suddenly stood up and looked towards a direction. His eyes were filled with vigilance.
A ray of light came from the southeast direction. Although it looked clear, a Yuanying cultivator like him who came from the Xuanmen Sect could tell with a glance that this person was of a different race that had entered the Dao. That was why he had a bit of demonic qi.
However, when the newcomer flew over, the strong winds of mana shook the sky. His cultivation was definitely not shallow. It was very likely that he had reached the third stage.
When the ray of light reached the top, it turned downwards. The light was like a curtain of water that swung to the sides. A tall and sturdy man with a round waist came out. He had a turban on his head, a dark python belt around his waist, and a dark cloak on the outside. He didn't look like a cultivator, but a valiant warrior that fought in a battle formation.
Qu Shang walked down and glanced at the formation. Because it was covered by the baleful qi, he couldn't see who was trapped here. He suspected that it was Su Yihua and asked, "Who are you trapping here?"
Wei Zihong glanced at him. He'd already guessed Qu Shang's identity. Then it was obvious that Qu Shang's objective for coming here was none other than the True Dragon Estate. Thus, Wei Zihong didn't have a good expression on his face and said bluntly, "What does that have to do with you?"
Qu Shang was stunned. All along the way here, because of his high cultivation, no one dared to be disrespectful to him in the slightest. Never had he imagined that Qu Shang would actually not give him any face here.
This caused him to not dare act rashly instead. He sized up Wei Zihong from top to bottom and said, "I'm looking for someone. If it's convenient for Fellow Daoist, then you just have to move aside and let me see clearly. If it isn't this person, then I'll leave right away."
Wei Zihong had set up this formation with great difficulty, so how could he withdraw his mana just because of a few words? It would be fine if he was just an ordinary cultivator, but he had the identity of the Yaoyin Sect's Master above him, so he naturally couldn't give in so easily. He said coldly, "This is definitely not the person you're looking for, so please leave quickly."
When Qu Shang heard this, he was extremely displeased in his heart, and killing intent floated between his brows. However, he guessed that Wei Zihong had a background, so in order to avoid any more trouble, he endured it and asked calmly, "If you're not a cultivator from the Fengling Ocean, then which profound sect in the East Flower are you from? I'll be acquainted with your master. "
Wei Zihong smiled in disdain and waved his sleeve as he said mockingly, "Do you think you're worthy of being acquainted with my master?"
Qu Shang instantly became furious and said, "Junior, you're courting death!"
He thought that Wei Zihong was hinting that he was of a different race. In reality, Wei Zihong was only hinting that his cultivation wasn't high enough. Not to mention that there were many demon cultivators in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, even the Yaoyin Sect's Founding Master had attained the Dao as a Devil Flood Dragon, but she didn't have the slightest intention of looking down on the different races.
However, he misunderstood and finally couldn't hold it in anymore. The rage from before burst forth, and he stretched out his hand to grab and instantly executed the Heaven and Earth Lock Technique. At the same time, a jet black light flew up from behind him. It came crashing down.
Wei Zihong was taken advantage of. His body instantly froze, but he didn't panic at all. He forcefully circulated his mana, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was. He went straight to a thousand feet away. That jet black light naturally missed as well.
Qu Shang saw his escape technique. He said in shock, "Minor Heavens Shifting Escape Technique?" He hurriedly retracted his hand, and even his tone changed. "Are you a disciple of the Qincang?"
Wei Zihong grabbed a magic sword and held it in his hand. He raised his head slightly and said coldly, "Wei Zihong from the Zhao You Sect of the Qincang, would like to seek guidance from fellow Daoist."
He was about to attack when Qu Shang heard him announce his sect, and his expression changed greatly. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wait!"
He took a breath and cupped his hands, saying, "So you're a disciple of the Qincang Hall Master Du Zhen. Just Now, it's my fault. I hope fellow Daoist won't blame me for offending you."
If it was another Qincang cultivator, he wouldn't be so afraid. However, over ten years ago, when Zhang Yan passed by the East Sea, he once fought with the Carp tribe's elder Qu Yue on the sea. In the end, he suppressed Qu Yue, and that was still fresh in his memory.
He heard that after this person returned, he killed that Spiritual Master Yan, which showed how strong his mana was. If he touched his disciple, it wasn't impossible for him to kill them in a fit of rage, so he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.
Wei Zihong also didn't have the confidence to defeat him. Seeing that he apologized, he also retracted his hand, but he didn't say a word on the surface.
Qu Shang said, "I won't disturb Spiritual Master Wei anymore. Farewell." He cupped his hands again and leaped up, flying away.
Wei Zihong's gaze followed the escaping light further and further away. Seeing that he really left, he sat down again.
A day later, there was finally movement in the fog, and a weak voice came from inside. "This fellow Daoist is a disciple of Xuan Gate, I'm Yuxiao's disciple. If you let me out today, I'll remember a favor from you."
However, Wei Zihong remained indifferent.
After a while, Zhou Zishang's voice spoke again, "If you kill me, aren't you afraid that I, Yuxiao, will take revenge on you?"
Wei Zihong said indifferently, "If you die here, who will know that I killed you?"
Zhou Zishang snorted, "Ignorant person, how can you know my, Yuxiao's secret technique?"
Wei Zihong was still unmoved. Since he had decided to kill his opponent, he wouldn't let go no matter what he said.
Zhou Zishang was also a person who cared about his reputation. Seeing that his threats were useless, he knew that he was going to die today, so he actually laughed. At first, his voice was loud and clear, but after a while, it became weaker and weaker, until finally, there was no sound.
Wei Zihong frowned, and the divine eye on his forehead opened to take a look. Looking into the formation, he saw Zhou Zishang sitting cross-legged on the ground with a finger pointed at the center of his brows. His vitality was gone, and his spirit was gone. He had actually killed himself.
Yuxiao school, Bu Yun Tower.
Zhou Zao was deducing a Daoist technique that he had obtained from another sect when a gust of wind blew outside the door. He was slightly displeased. This movement was obviously caused by someone escaping outside the palace and did not stop. He asked, "Who is so rash?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a disciple rushing in. When he saw him, he said anxiously, "Master, something bad has happened."
Zhou Zao saw his flustered look and put down the jade scroll in his hand. He frowned and said, "What happened? Tell me slowly. "
The disciple said, "I'm Just Now guarding the North Arch Hall, but a piece of my life plate cracked for no reason."
Zhou Zao's heart skipped a beat. The life plates of the Zhou family's disciples were enshrined in the North Arch Hall, and all the cultivators who had reached the state of Yuanying were listed. If the life plate cracked, it meant that someone had died.
This was not a small matter. Since the South Cliff Continent was conquered, other than the sword battle of the 16 sects a few hundred years ago, there had never been a precedent of a Zhou family disciple dying outside.
He asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
The disciple said, "I dare not speak of my name, but I have a talisman that fell from the hall." As he said this, he held up a Jade Talisman with both hands.
Zhou Zao took it and saw that it was the main branch disciple, Zhou Zishang. He sighed and said, "You can leave, I need to report this to Eldest Shixiong."
However, he knew in his heart that the Zhou family's direct disciple had mysteriously died outside, and the culprit was unknown. This was not a small matter, and it was very likely to alarm the Zhenrens above.
