Master Wu Nian smiled quite happily, as if he was not talking about himself.
Hu Erniang: "..."
"Master, so you know what happened to Xuanyan Sect?"
"You probably know a little bit about it!" Master Wu Nian replied, "Daoxuan is possessed by a demon, and Junior Sister Lu also has problems."
"and you……"
"At first, I took the initiative to hide in the Enlightenment Tower, and then they locked me up." Master Wu Nian took the initiative to answer.
The three people looked at each other.
This result is similar to what they thought, but not quite the same.
Bai Mengjin and Ling Bufei had discussed that if something went wrong with Elder Lu and Master Cui, then Master Wu Nian would most likely use the Enlightenment Tower to compete with them.
This is what Master Wu Nian said before, but the subsequent development is a bit strange.
So Master Wu Nian slowly talked about his experience.
"Decades ago, I forget exactly how long ago, my nephew Yanzhi suddenly came to see me. Seeing that he was in a heavy mood, I thought he had a problem with his cultivation, so I explained it. Before leaving, Yanzhi suddenly said to me , if something happens to him, please ask me to take care of his wife and children."
Master Wu Nian paused for a moment, remembering the situation in the past, sighed, and then continued: "Sure enough, something happened when Yanzhi went out. The master said that he was deceived by the female devil and took an evil path. But I remembered I always feel like there is something hidden behind his words."
"Not long after, my senior brother passed away, and Daoxuan took over as the leader. I was in a bottleneck at that time, so I told Daoxuan a few words, asking him to take care of Yanzhi's wife and children without angering him, and take care of the children until they grow up, so he went into seclusion. "Who would have thought that after more than ten years, when he was released from prison, he would find that the child had not been treated leniently."
Ling Bufei calculated the time, and based on Leng Yanzhi's clue, it was at least eighty years since Master Cui became a demon, probably a hundred years ago.
"What happened next?" Bai Mengjin asked softly, "What did you do that led to the drastic changes?"
"I scolded Daoxuan." Master Wu Nian spread his hands, "I used to have a bad temper, and I didn't care whether he became the leader or not. On the surface, Daoxuan listened to the training seriously, and I didn't take it to heart. I went to find Junior Sister Lu."
Master Wu Nian chuckled twice: "Guess what? Junior Sister Lu secretly raised things that she shouldn't have, and when I discovered the clues, I felt something was wrong. But at the beginning, I just focused on Junior Sister Lu. , I didn’t know that after checking, it seems that Daoxuan also has a problem. Maybe I moved too much and let them notice, and then..."
"You escaped into the Tower of Enlightenment."
Master Wu Nian nodded: "Yes! I didn't have time to go out to report the news, so I had to escape into the Enlightenment Tower. This tower is my life's work, and there are many restrictions. With these, I can compete with them."
Hu Erniang interjected: "When Zhenren was young, his attainments in formations were the best among formation masters. It is indeed true to think so. However, how come..."
"It's my fault that I'm too arrogant!" Master Wu Nian laughed bitterly, "Daoxuan's talent is not very high, and Junior Sister Lu is just okay. I think I'm better than them. As long as I stay in the tower for decades, my cultivation will improve." Once you get to the next level, you can break out of the tower. Even if you can't defeat them and join forces, you can go to the Wuji Sect for help."
"This idea is correct." Bai Mengjin said, "Relatively speaking, it is a safe strategy. However, if you give the initiative to others, you will naturally become passive."
"What you little girl said is true." Master Wu Nian agreed. "When I thought about it later, this was the problem. I was locked up in the tower to practice my secret skills, and the two people outside the tower were not idle either. I didn't know later that it was Whoever thought of a vicious way to use the mountain-protecting formation to consume my restraints, come on, I can't stand it anymore!"
No wonder the Mountain Protection Formation and the Enlightenment Tower's restrictions are connected. Here's the reason.
Bai Mengjin said: "I guess this method was not what Master Cui thought of, nor was it what Elder Lu thought of."
Master Wu Nian was surprised: "You kid, what do you mean by this? Could it be that... they still have accomplices?!"
He reacted quickly and guessed the truth.
Ling Bufei nodded: "You don't know that there is actually an unknown force in the world of immortality. It started from the spiritual conference more than thirty years ago..."
He recounted the spiritual conference that was almost destroyed by the Night Demon, the rumors spread during the Battle of Minghe River, the discovery of the Faceless Man in Yaowang Valley, and finally the appearance of the Star Reaching Tower.
Wu Nian almost didn't close his mouth and murmured: "The world of immortality without me is really wonderful..."
"So, we were attracted by Master Cui." Ling Bufei added the last step, "Master Cui is one of the faceless men. What you have to face is not the two of them, but a force that you don't know the depth of. .”
"..." Master Wu Nian shook his head in disbelief, "If I had known earlier, I should have run away. If nothing else, my soul would have been able to escape. It's just that I was reluctant at that time and always wanted to save my body. "
Even for monks who transform themselves into gods, they have fewer options to choose after losing their physical bodies. By chance, Hu Erniang had a yin-yang umbrella as a means of warmth and nourishment. Otherwise, even if she took the initiative to become a ghost cultivator, it would be difficult for her to regain her former cultivation.
Master Wu Nian sighed: "Sure enough, this is my punishment for being too arrogant."
After the two sides reported the situation, Hu Erniang was still a little puzzled: "Master, your cultivation is so profound, even if the restraint is consumed by the mountain guard formation, it won't consume all your cultivation, right? What is the situation now? ?」
"Yes!" Ling Bufei continued, "I came to the Enlightenment Tower during the day, and what happened when I heard your voice? Isn't that you?"
"Of course not." Master Wu Nian spread his hands and laughed at himself, "Look at me like this, how can my voice be transmitted outside? At the Enlightenment Tower, I only have one inner layer of restrictions set up by me, and there are Daoxuan and the others outside. He did it, that sound was naturally caused by him secretly controlling it."
They had already guessed this, so they weren't surprised.
"Then you..."
"Wait a minute." Bai Mengjin suddenly said, "Senior, they have been able to open the restrictions of the Enlightenment Tower through consumption, right? In this case, why not just kill you?"
That's right. The other two people also cast their eyes over.
What are the benefits of locking up Master Wu Nian? It's difficult to kill the cultivator of the God Transformation. What if one accidentally escapes from him? Even if he spent a lot on his cultivation, who can guarantee that he doesn’t have any secret skills?
"So I said you shouldn't have come." Master Wu Nian pointed at the puppets around him, "Why do you think I set up these puppets?"
"Protect yourself?" Ling Bufei replied tentatively, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. These puppets couldn't withstand one of his moves!
"Yes, that's wrong." Wu Nian's skinny fingers slowly moved across it, leading them to see the restrictions on the wall. "Can you recognize what this is?"
Hu Erniang and Ling Bufei were still watching, but the color on Bai Mengjin's face had quickly disappeared.
"Sacrifice formation! This is the sacrifice formation!"
