Just as Lin Chen was rushing back towards Qingyun Sect.
Jiangcheng.
Accompanied by the roaring sound of the wind, the Qingyun Flying Boat finally arrived above Jiangcheng.
However, when they saw the scene below clearly, the expressions of everyone from Master Jindan to Qi Refining Stage monks all changed.
Because what they see in front of them is not a huge city, but a vast, lifeless land of yellow sand!
"W-what happened? We flew to the wrong location?" someone asked confused.
"You're not wrong." Zhang Mengyao on the side pressed the sword that was faintly buzzing at his waist, with a solemn face.
"This is Jiangcheng."
"But there is nothing in front of me..."
"That's because there was a terrifying killing intent that wiped out all life for thousands of miles." A voice sounded from behind everyone.
"See Master!"
"Meet the Patriarch!"
After seeing who had made the noise, everyone saluted.
Master Jianxuan looked at the scene in front of him with a solemn face as well.
Like Zhang Mengyao's keen perception, the natal magic sword in his body has allowed him to clearly sense the extremely terrifying murderous intention remaining in this land!
'Senior Brother Qingyang used [Sound Wind Wood] to send an urgent message last night, saying that a mysterious light rose from the place where the Transformation God fell, and then fell directly in this direction...'
'I followed its direction and found it, but I didn't expect to encounter this scene, and...'
Master Jianxuan frowned deeply. He could naturally sense the terrifying murderous intention left on the yellow sand land.
I'm afraid the level has surpassed the golden elixir!
"Grandmaster, do we want to go down to investigate and use the secret technique to find out the cause?" At this time, an elder came to Zhenren Jianxuan and asked respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Master Jianxuan glanced at him, snapped his fingers, and immediately, a centuries-old spiritual ginseng flew out of the storage bag.
Its skin is as tender as a baby's skin, white and smooth, and its whole body exudes a kind of vitality.
Then, Master Jianxuan threw it down.
The elder couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him. He didn't quite understand what Master Jianxuan meant, so he could only stand aside and watch respectfully.
However, it didn't take long before his expression changed, and so did everyone else's.
Because the fallen spiritual ginseng turned into ashes in just a few moments!
"There is a terrible murderous intention left in this land. Anyone who goes down to a level below the Golden Core will die." Master Jianxuan said calmly.
This is different from the land where Lin Chen's murderous intention was affected. This is the main battlefield where the two gods' powers are fighting, and the remaining power is naturally terrifying.
"Then, Patriarch, what should we do?" After a while, the elder realized what he was doing and asked subconsciously.
Master Jianxuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Seal this area and the corresponding news, and don't let anyone get close!"
"Just... gone?!" the elder said in surprise.
"Then what can we do?" Master Jianxuan glanced at him and asked, "Let's not talk about whether we can find the real culprit behind this situation. Even if we do find it, will you come?"
"Uh..." The elder was dumbfounded and did not dare to reply.
The remaining power is enough to kill monks below the Golden Core level. This is a power that even my ancestor cannot achieve. If I do it myself, wouldn't it be too long to live?
It is necessary to be cautious about things that are beyond your ability!
"Ancestor, we also discovered a large wasteland on the west side of the city!"
While the two were talking, the disciples who went to investigate the situation around the city came back to report.
"Huh?" Master Jianxuan turned his eyes and said, "Take me to have a look!"
"yes!"
Soon, under the leadership of his disciples, Master Jianxuan came to the west of Jiangcheng.
"Master, what's going on here?" Zhang Mengyao said.
"This is the place that was affected by the aftermath of Jiang Cheng's murderous intent." Master Jianxuan observed carefully and confirmed.
"Then shall we..."
"Don't do anything, because we don't have the ability to handle this matter." Master Jianxuan said in a deep voice.
It's not that he doesn't want to know the truth or the existence of the mastermind behind this, but he doesn't have the ability to investigate.
Because while investigating the other party, the other party will also notice you.
If both parties have the same level of strength, they can come to seek justice.
But in the opinion of Master Jianxuan, the power left behind by Jiang Cheng has surpassed the golden elixir level. If they continue to investigate, they will attract the other party's attention.
At that time, what can Qingyun Sect do to resist this enemy that is beyond its capabilities?
Not to mention secret investigation, in front of a monk who is a level above me, the so-called secret investigation is just a joke.
Even if you know some truth, you still have to pretend to understand.
"Alas, although I don't want to admit it, this time it is definitely not the Xuanyin Sect's conspiracy..." Master Jianxuan looked into the distance and sighed softly.
However, what Master Jianxuan did not expect was that the subsequent changes brought about by this incident were far beyond his expectations.
…
the other side.
Dark clouds cover the place and the wind blows. This is a stretch of mountains where the sun never shines all year round.
Dangerous places such as swamps, grasslands, evil forests, and evil pools are often haunted by spirits, capable of killing people and cannibalizing people. From time to time, a thick layer of pale fog rises, mixed with strange cries.
And on the mountains everywhere, there are no towers, pavilions, or sorghum-painted buildings, but endless cemeteries!
This is the location of Xuanyin Sect, one of the three major immortal cultivating forces in Lingnan!
At this moment, there was a huge cemetery in the mountain with the heaviest yin energy among the continuous mountains, and there was a sudden movement on the largest mound in the cemetery.
I saw a pale, bloodless hand stretching out from the soil!
Cackling!
Not long after, a pale body with a cold aura crawled out of the grave!
In the land of immortal cultivation in Lingnan, if the Qingyun Sect is an expert at playing with plants, then the Xuanyin Sect is an expert at manipulating corpses and playing with souls!
The fundamental skill of the Xuanyin Sect - [Taiyin Corpse Interpretation of the Secret Seal Script] is divided into two directions.
The interpretation of corpses in this sutra has two meanings. One is to understand the corpse and use its power of death to follow the path of physical evolution.
The second is to use the body as nutrition to support the soul, absorb the lunar energy, and engage in evil cultivation. To be precise, it is a ghost cultivation.
The former is to cultivate himself into a half-alive and half-dead zombie, and then evolve himself by constantly sucking spiritual blood and refining yin energy.
Evolve from the most common [Zombie] to [Swollen Walking Zombie], [Iron-Armored Silver Zombie], [Yaksha], etc., and then evolve into [Swollen Zombie King], [Flying Yaksha], etc. The final evolution goal is The ancestor of the zombies who jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements - [Drought Demon]!
The latter takes yin into the body, integrates the power of life and death, and follows the path of corpse dissolution.
This path is also divided into two types. One is continuous evolution, from [ghost] to [starving ghost], [recruiting ghost], and the final goal is to become a [ghost fairy].
The second is, through a very dangerous ritual, in the state of death, one's own soul is transformed into [軻], then [Xi], and finally, into a terrifying existence that even death itself is forgotten - [Yi]!
But the practice of the latter is very dangerous. In the past three thousand years, almost no one has succeeded in practicing it. Even the famous leader of the Xuanyin Sect in Lingnan Cultivation Land, Taiyin Zhenren, is also following the Yinhun route.
The pale male corpse, that is, the real Taiyin, moved his cloudy eyes, and his every move was a little slow.
After all, his true body has been disintegrated into Taiyin Dharmakaya, and his original body is nothing more than a clone.
After moving for a while, Master Taiyin took out a piece of blood jade from the grave. It was bright red, crystal clear, and exuded a strange light.
Then, he input a cold magic power into it and threw it away.
The discarded blood jade shattered into pieces and turned into a pool of bright red blood.
Gulu!
This pool of blood was constantly producing bubbles, and then it absorbed the spiritual energy in the air and continued to expand, forming a pool of blood.
Then, something protruded from the center of the blood pool, and countless blood gathered on it, finally forming a blood shadow with only a human shape but no facial features!
Master Taiyin looked at the blood shadow and asked coldly: "Last night, what happened in the place where the gods fell, could it have anything to do with you?"
"Jie Jie, what does the accident of your ancestor have to do with us?" Xueying asked.
Taiyin's eyes were stiff and he stared at the other person with a gloomy look.
After a while, he said aloud: "There has been an unexpected change in the plan. I am worried that the Qingyun Sect will be alert and notice the secret we have sneaked in."
"In that case, let's take action in advance, kill all the outstanding disciples of Qingyun Sect, and destroy their war potential in one fell swoop!" A cold murderous intention came from the blood shadow.
