When Li Changning woke up, she found that she was lying in a huge magic circle. Her whole body was restrained by the magic circle, and she couldn't use any strength at all.
Opposite her was another magic circle. In the center of the magic circle lay his senior brother Zhu Hongyuan, who was also unconscious.
"Wake up!"
Suddenly Zhu Qingyu's voice sounded, and Li Changning turned around and saw his master looking at her with a sinister expression on his face.
"Master, what are you doing?" Li Changning's uneasiness became more and more intense.
"Changning..." Zhu Qingyu called Li Changning's name affectionately, "My teacher has taught you for so many years and I have treated you well. Now it's time for you to repay my teacher."
Li Changning tried his best to calm down, and with a smile on his face, he said: "It is my duty for a disciple to repay my master. Please let me go first. How can my senior brother be lying there?"
"Let you go?" The smile on Zhu Qingyu's face became gentler, but Li Changning only felt terrified. "If I let you go, how can you repay my master? What my master wants is your body!"
After hearing this, Li Changning finally changed his expression.
Zhu Qingyu didn't explain too much to Li Changning, but took out a pill from her arms.
"It took me nearly ten years to practice this elixir." He said to himself, "I hope it can succeed!"
This is a pill that can help a special physique awaken. The medicinal material is very precious. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless.
When Li Changning was admitted to the Chaoyun Sect, the Supreme Elder of the Chaoyun Sect said that he was interested in her because of her superior qualities. In fact, this was not the case. What he really liked was Li Changning's special qualities.
Li Changning's special physique is called the Flying Immortal Body. This quality is innately close to immortality and close to the Dao. He can almost be said to be the darling of Heaven. Once he awakens, his cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. As long as nothing goes wrong, becoming an immortal is almost certain. .
This is a physique that can only appear in legends.
It is precisely because this physique is so special that it is very difficult to awaken. The Feixian Physique that cannot be awakened is the same as having no physique.
Li Changning's flying immortal body naturally did not awaken.
When the Flying Immortal Body is not awakened, ordinary people cannot see it. However, Zhu Qingyu, a member of the Chaoyun Sect, has a unique skill of returning the true spirit pupil, which can see through illusions and return to the original source. The Supreme Prince who took away Li Changning back then The elder relied on this unique skill to discover what was special about Li Changning.
That elder is Zhu Qingyu's junior brother.
Originally, Zhu Qingyu's junior brother planned to accept Li Changning as his apprentice, but Zhu Qingyu also discovered that Li Changning was special, so he intervened, and Li Changning became his apprentice from then on.
Naturally, he didn't take Li Changning as his disciple to train her, he just coveted Li Changning's powerful flying immortal body.
His plan to seize the Feixian body was not for himself, but for Zhu Hongyuan?
Although Zhu Hongyuan is his apprentice, he is also his descendant. Even Zhu Hongyuan himself does not know this. He can only feel that his master treats him very well.
The Zhu family is a large family within the Chaoyun Sect. Since the birth of the Chaoyun Sect, they have occupied a very important position in the Chaoyun Sect. The Zhu family has even served as the head of the Chaoyun Sect for several terms.
Similarly, in order to ensure the inheritance of the family, they never intermarry with outsiders.
But there are exceptions to everything.
When Zhu Qingyu was still a teenager, she fell in love with an ordinary girl while she was training outside. Naturally, she was opposed by her family.
But Zhu Qingyu, as the most talented martial artist in the Zhu family at that time, still had some say in the Zhu family. After some struggle, the family made a promise that if he could break through the Zhoutian realm, the family would allow him to take in his beloved. She is a concubine.
So in order to marry the one he loved as soon as possible, Zhu Qingyu began to practice hard. However, when he came out of seclusion after a successful breakthrough, he found that the one he loved had died, leaving only a baby.
Since then, Zhu Qingyu has never married.
Zhu Qingyu is over 400 years old. Seeing that his end is approaching, the only thing he can't worry about is the offspring of his beloved.
So he wanted to exchange Li Changning's Flying Immortal Body for Zhu Hongyuan. As long as he had the Flying Immortal Body, Zhu Hongyuan would have a bright road ahead of him.
Now that the general trend of heaven and earth has arrived, a new cycle has begun, and becoming an immortal is possible, but Zhu Qingyu knows that it is impossible for him to make a breakthrough because his body has decayed, so he can only place his hope on Zhu Hongyuan. Before the deadline is approaching, arrange everything for Zhu Hongyuan.
The method of seizing other people's special physiques was something Zhu Qingyu saw in the Chaoyun Sect's forbidden books, including the "Marrying Clothes Magic Art".
The Wedding Clothes Divine Skill is indeed a very exquisite and superior skill, but it has a shortcoming, that is, if you cooperate with the soul-stealing formation in the forbidden book, others can completely inherit everything about the practitioner, including physique, cultivation, etc.
It is precisely because it is exquisite enough that Li Changning, who has been practicing it, did not notice any abnormalities.
The forbidden books recording the Soul Seizing Formation and the "Marriage Clothes Magic Art" have always been kept by the Supreme Elder of the Chaoyun Sect. The ancestors of the Chaoyun Sect also clearly stated that future generations are not allowed to practice it.
But Zhu Qingyu himself is the Supreme Elder. If he wants to ban books, who can stop him?
Li Changning watched helplessly as Zhu Qingyu walked towards him step by step and stuffed a green pill into her mouth.
As the pill turned into a warm current and entered his body, Li Changning suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, as if his whole body was about to be torn apart.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Changning's seven orifices began to bleed, his consciousness gradually blurred, and his whole body was twitching from severe pain.
It is difficult to awaken the Flying Immortal Body, and if you are not careful, the awakened person will die. Now Zhu Qingyu wants to forcefully awaken the Flying Immortal Body. This is no different from robbing a seedling to encourage its growth. How can Li Changning not suffer from it?
Did it fail? Seeing her appearance, Zhu Qingyu frowned.
However, at this moment, a white phantom flew out of Li Changning's body and floated in the air. The phantom had no specific shape, just a vague figure with fluttering clothes and an ethereal temperament, just like an immortal. Even an innate master like Zhu Qingyu would be shocked by the palpitating aura.
Success! Zhu Qingyu looked ecstatic.
This is the Flying Immortal Body!
Only after seeing the Flying Immortal Body did Zhu Qingyu realize how powerful this physique was. It was indeed a near-immortal body!
At the same time, in another cave in the back mountain of Chaoyun Sect, a white-haired old man noticed the aura of the Flying Immortal Body. His expression changed, and he quickly flew out of the cave and towards the top of the mountain where Zhu Qingyu was. go.
As the Feixian body awakens, strange images begin to appear in the sky above Chaoyun Sect. The sky is full of red clouds, golden lotuses emerge, and there are bursts of fairy music, as if a real immortal has come to the world.
All the disciples and senior sect officials were alarmed, but they were not qualified to come to the back mountain to ask what happened to Zhu Qingyu. Some other Supreme Elders seemed to have guessed the inside story, but they just pretended not to see it.
After all, this is a good thing for Chaoyun Sect.
When the Flying Immortal Body was fully awakened, the immortal shadow slowly returned to Li Changning's body. At the same time, Li Changning's cultivation level began to rise steadily. In the blink of an eye, he broke through from the Small Zhoutian Realm to the Great Zhoutian Realm, and continued to climb. .
But Zhu Qingyu felt that it was almost done. If Li Changning was allowed to break through again, Zhu Hongyuan's body would not be able to withstand the Flying Immortal Body. After all, the Flying Immortal Body was not born with him and could not fit as well as Li Changning.
Zhu Qingyu walked up to Li Changning, took out a dagger and cut off her wrists and ankles. Blood immediately flowed to the formation.
As Li Changning's blood poured in, the formation emitted a strange red light, accompanied by bursts of wailing sounds, like ghosts crying.
The increased blood loss made Li Changning look pale. She wanted to speak out, but she couldn't. She could only feel her body getting colder little by little.
As the blood, carrying a strange red light, flowed from the formation that restrained Li Changning to the formation that restrained Zhu Hongyuan, Zhu Hongyuan finally woke up in a daze.
Seeing countless blood flowing into his body along the formation, Zhu Hongyuan looked horrified.
"Master, Master, what's going on?"
Zhu Qingyu said to Zhu Hongyuan with a peaceful face: "My good disciple, don't worry, nothing will happen. I am doing this for your own good. Soon you will soar into the sky."
Then he told Zhu Hongyuan about seizing the Feixian body.
"No, no, no, Master, how could you do this!" Zhu Hongyuan shook his head and refused, "That's junior sister! I don't want a flying immortal body, and I don't want to become an immortal. Please let junior sister go!"
He liked his junior sister from the first time he saw her, and he didn't want to take her life for some flying immortal body.
Hearing this, Zhu Qingyu said with hatred: "Do you know what you are talking about? The Flying Immortal Body is the foundation of enlightenment, and it is something that many people dream of. You actually gave up for a woman, you are worthy of the Zhu family, and you are worthy of the Zhu family. What are my teacher’s expectations of you?”
Zhu Hongyuan had tears in her eyes, "My disciple doesn't want to become an immortal, I just want my junior sister to live."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyu calmed down her expression and said with a cold face: "Once the formation is activated, there is no way to stop it. If you want to stop it, one of you must die. Do you want to die yourself or your junior sister?"
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyuan fell silent. He didn't want his junior sister to die, but he didn't want to die himself. If he was destined to not be able to stay with his junior sister, then...
Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed.
"Now that you've made a decision, don't worry about her anymore!" Zhu Qingyu flicked her sleeves and continued to activate the soul-seizing formation.
As time went by, Li Changning's aura became weaker and weaker, while Zhu Hongyuan's aura became stronger and stronger.
At this time, an old man suddenly jumped into the cave and shouted: "Senior brother, you...are you using the soul-stealing formation?"
"It's junior brother!" Zhu Qingyu glanced at the person coming, but did not take this person seriously.
"I should have guessed...I should have guessed that you took Chang Ning as your disciple just to steal her flying immortal body!"
This old man was the one who discovered Li Changning's special physique and brought her back to Chaoyun Sect. He was also Zhu Qingyu's junior brother and another supreme elder of Chaoyun Sect, Hong Botao?
Zhu Qingyu said expressionlessly: "I am all for Chaoyun Sect. As long as Yuan'er can obtain the Flying Immortal Body, when he becomes enlightened in the future, I can at least protect Chaoyun Sect from falling for ten thousand years."
Hong Botao said angrily: "We can do the same if we train Chang Ning properly. The Feixian body is a near-immortal body. You will harm the world by taking it by force and you will be repaid!"
"Chang Ning is from a noble family. How can she be better trained than Yuan'er? As for retribution, if there is any, then go ahead. I'm not afraid!" Zhu Qingyu said plausibly.
"Okay, okay!" Hong Botao's face was full of anger, "I hope you won't regret it then!"
He knew that once the Soul Seizing Formation was activated, it could not be interrupted, so he could only watch as Li Changning's Flying Immortal Body and cultivation were taken away.
As the red light on the Soul Seizing Formation disappeared, the Soul Seizing Formation was officially completed. At this time, Li Changning was already dying, and she was looking at Zhu Qingyu with an angry face.
Seeing Li Changning like this, Zhu Qingyu raised her hand and was about to slap him to death, but was stopped by Hong Botao.
"Senior brother, since you have obtained the Flying Immortal Body, why do you need to kill everyone?"
Li Changning was brought into the Chaoyun Sect by himself, and Hong Botao didn't want her to die like this.
"Cut the weeds without removing the roots, and there will be endless troubles!" Zhu Qingyu said coldly.
"She lost her Flying Immortal Body and will not be able to practice from now on, so what's the trouble?" Hong Botao stood in front of Zhu Qingyu.
"There is a Li family behind her!"
"Then the Li family is just a small aristocratic family, not worth mentioning compared to the Chaoyun Sect."
Just when the two junior brothers were arguing, Zhu Hongyuan begged Zhu Qingyu: "Master, please spare my junior sister's life..."
Looking at Hong Botao and then at Zhu Hongyuan, Zhu Qingyu rolled up her sleeves and said: "Every woman's kindness, Chaoyun Sect will one day be destroyed in your hands!"
snort! Even if I don't kill her, she won't live long!
Seeing Zhu Qingyu stop, Hong Botao flew out of the cave holding the dying Li Changning.
…
Chang Yue hurriedly and slowly finally returned to Mingyue City. However, nothing happened in Mingyue City, and the Li family did not encounter any disaster.
Chang Yue stayed at home like this for several days, and the Li family was still peaceful. She thought that Taoist Priest Qingwei might have made a mistake!
Early that morning, the Li family's concierge yawned and opened the door, planning to welcome a new day. Suddenly he felt something kicked under his feet. He looked down and saw something covered with a white cloth in front of the door.
Isn't this a corpse?
Recalling the touch under his feet just now, the concierge walked over tremblingly, stretched out his hand to lift off the white cloth, and was still thinking: Who is so wicked as to dare to throw the body at the door of Li's house.
However, when he uncovered the white cloth and saw the person covered under the white cloth, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. After realizing that something was wrong, he rolled into the house and shouted while running. :
"Something is going wrong! Something is going wrong!"
…
Changyue was refining elixirs in the courtyard. She had killed many strange beasts in the Licheng Fire Domain, so she wanted to use their flesh and blood to refine some elixirs for Hongyu to improve her cultivation.
"Girl, girl!" At this moment, Sang Ye walked in hurriedly, looking flustered, as if there was a fire burning behind her butt.
"What's wrong with Sangye?" Changyue asked doubtfully.
"Girl, something happened to the eldest lady."
Hearing this, Changyue's heart skipped a beat.
