After meeting Ding Lan, Xu Qiuqian told her everything he knew and guessed.
Ding Lan didn't expect that Xu Qiuqian really found out so much, and was a little surprised.
"According to what you said, this should be an evil cultivator." Ding Lan muttered.
Xu Qiuqian hummed.
"I just don't know what this evil cultivator wants to do with the lives of these mortals?"
Ding Lan shook his head: "They are not considered mortals."
"Not considered a mortal?" Xu Qiuqian wondered, "What do you mean?"
"The fifty or so people who were lost all have spiritual roots, but most of them have five spiritual roots, four spiritual roots or even pseudo-spiritual roots."
I see.
In this way, you can figure it out.
Evil cultivators use these mortals with spiritual roots to practice. After all, evil cultivators have always used all kinds of cultivation methods. This kind of method is just trivial to them.
"Why didn't this evil cultivator just kill all the mortals in the village? Wouldn't it be easier?"
Xu Qiuqian thought for a while.
"Is it possible that his current ability can only control one person?"
"It makes sense." Ding Lan felt a little appreciative.
This Yuan Yan doesn't look serious, but he is still very serious in doing things, and it can be seen that he is thoughtful, and his guesses are also well-founded.
Seeing that the two of them were talking to each other and ignoring her, Zhao Dongyue couldn't bear it and said, "Then what should we do now?"
"Of course I will find the evil cultivator and bring him back to the sect."
Zhao Dongyue was puzzled: "But we don't know where he is hiding. Do we have to wait until tonight?"
"No need, didn't Huihui say that before? To the west, we should be able to find some clues if we search in that direction."
After saying that, Ding Lan said to Zhao Dongyue: "Junior sister Dongyue, I don't know what kind of cultivation that evil cultivator has or what his abilities are. You just stay here and wait for us to catch him before we come to you."
"Can I go with you?" Zhao Dongyue looked worried.
"Everyone always protected me like this when we went out, but I also want to try to be with you..."
Ding Lan hesitated: "But Master Hua Cen said that I can't let you go with this kind of dangerous thing. If you get hurt at all, I can't explain it to her."
Xu Qiuqian felt suffocated listening to it.
If it were her, she would rather not protect her love to this extent.
"I won't tell mother that you allowed it. Senior Sister Ding Lan, please, just take me with you. I promise not to cause any trouble to you!"
Ding Lan couldn't stand Zhao Dongyue's coquettishness.
In the end, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, but you must follow me closely and run when you encounter danger. Do you know how far you can run?"
Zhao Dongyue was extremely excited.
"I know, I know, don't worry, Senior Sister Ding Lan! Don't worry, Ayan, I will never cause you any trouble!"
After discussing it, the three of them headed west.
After walking a few steps, Chen Mohan, who said he was going back to Qingyu Sect, came back with a solemn expression.
"I just found an evil cultivator in the west."
"Didn't you go back?"
"I originally planned to go back, but I found something wrong, so I wanted to go over and have a look. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the residence of an evil cultivator. The evil cultivator ran away when he saw me."
"Where did he go? Why didn't you catch him?" Ding Lan couldn't help but get angry after hearing this.
"He was running so fast, I only saw him seem to be running to the southwest."
Ding Lan was really impressed by Chen Mohan. He didn't chase after people when he saw them running away, but he actually came back to tell them.
"I'll chase him."
She stood up with her sword. When she thought of something, she looked at Xu Qiuqian.
"Do you want to come along?"
Xu Qiuqian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Ding Lan to ask her.
After thinking about it, he nodded.
"Come up." Ding Lan reached out to Xu Qiuqian.
Xu Qiuqian did not hesitate.
Seeing the two people leaving, Zhao Dongyue also said quickly: "There is still me!"
But Ding Lan and Xu Qiuqian had already flown far away.
Zhao Dongyue had no choice but to look at Chen Mohan.
"Senior Brother Mo Han, can you take me with you?" she asked expectantly.
"No, it's too dangerous. You stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't worry, I will be back soon."
After that, regardless of whether Zhao Dongyue agreed or not, Yu Jian flew away in the direction of Xu Qiuqian and the others, leaving only Zhao Dongyue alone.
Zhao Dongyue bit her lip as she watched Chen Mohan disappear.
The dissatisfaction poured out of his eyes.
Why?
why why why!
Why can't you take her with you? She is obviously a disciple of the Qingyu Sect and a cultivator of immortality. Why do you treat her like a fragile glass?
She also really wants to be able to stand alone and no longer depend on others...
the other side.
Heading towards the southwest, Xu Qiuqian spread out her consciousness to search.
Suddenly she noticed a trace of blood.
"there!"
Ding Lan followed the instructions and went over to investigate.
"The blood is still fresh. He shouldn't have gone far. Let's give chase."
There were traces of blood leading the way, and the two chased toward the southwest.
However, the more they chased the two, the more familiar the surrounding scene became.
Only when they reached the cliff did they realize that they had arrived at Broken Spirit Cliff again!
"How could the evil cultivator escape here? This is Broken Spirit Cliff." Ding Lan frowned and said in a deep voice.
Xu Qiuqian looked at Ding Lan.
"You know this place?"
"Well, this is Broken Spirit Cliff. If you don't see it in front of you, as long as you fall off Broken Spirit Cliff, no one can come up alive."
Not far from the Broken Spirit Cliff, there is a spirit-eating array, also called the spiritual vein damage array, because this spirit-eating array not only swallows the spiritual energy in the body of the person in the array, but also destroys the spiritual veins. .
Xu Qiuqian's spiritual veins were destroyed here.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at it again.
She remembered that this formation was originally set up by a certain seventh-grade formation mage in the pavilion. It was destroyed by Zhao Dongyue with violence. Now the formation is probably unable to be activated.
"Xu Qiuqian's spiritual veins were damaged here." Xu Qiuqian suddenly said.
Ding Lan turned around and faced Xu Qiuqian.
"Do you know her? What is your relationship with her?"
Xu Qiuqian thought, why not reveal his identity and get to the bottom of it.
At this moment, she felt that fatal danger was approaching, and she subconsciously fell to the ground.
A gust of wind swept by, and she narrowly avoided it, but Ding Lan was not so lucky. She didn't react, and the whole person was carried by the strong wind and rushed down the Broken Spirit Cliff.
"careful!"
Xu Qiuqian spoke subconsciously.
Fortunately, Ding Lan reacted quickly afterwards, took out his magic weapon, and stopped dangerously on the edge of the cliff.
Fortunately it didn't fall.
Both men breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ding Lan suddenly screamed.
"The array...the array is activated!"
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
The array is activated?
She looked in the direction of Ding Lan and immediately realized that Ding Lan's location was exactly where the original body's spiritual veins were when it was damaged!
But hasn't that array been destroyed by Zhao Dongyue?
what happened?
At this time, another strong wind hit her.
