After Wei Xun left, Chen Ping thought about countermeasures.
Although he promised Wei Xun and Xi Yue to help him, Chen Ping was not willing to trouble Xi Yue in everything until the last moment.
The best option is to solve it yourself.
Gong Zhiyuan has a seventh-level golden elixir, he also has a heel, and he may also have inheritance and life-saving means from his backer. It is best not to face head-on confrontation with such a person.
It's not impossible.
If you want to hold Gong Zhiyuan back, there are at least two ways to go:
The first way is to intervene with the help of another large sect in Zhongdao.
To achieve the purpose of fishermen benefiting from the competition between snipe and clam.
But this path is all about chance. The last time, the three monks from Chacha and Qin showed up and gave them such an opportunity.
But this time no such opportunity presented itself.
The second way is to start with Gong Zhiyuan himself and let Gong Zhiyuan give up on his own.
The best way to make Gong Zhiyuan give up is to make him unable to expand further.
Like getting him hurt.
Let him fear expansion and focus on himself.
The second point is that Chen Ping can do it.
Chen Ping returned to the quiet room, took out the yellow paper, rouge, pen and ink, and began to draw a portrait of Gong Zhiyuan according to the appearance he had seen decades ago.
Gong Zhiyuan's image is very distinctive: short stature, dark skin, extremely protruding forehead, looking extremely uncoordinated.
Even though Chen Ping only met him once, he was deeply impressed by him and still remembers it fresh.
With the full level of painting skills, a colorful portrait of Gong Zhiyuan soon appeared on the paper.
That night, Xu Ruyan was released.
It's time to show Xu Ruyan's value.
"Master, who is this?" After Xu Ruyan came out, she saw Chen Ping indicating to her to look at the portrait on the table, and looked at it curiously.
"It's quite ugly," she added.
Chen Ping:.
Am I going to say something ugly or not?
Hand the scroll to her:
"This person's name is Gong Zhiyuan. Please note down his appearance carefully. This person is currently the head of the Xunlong Sect, and he is very bad. You go to the Xunlong Sect, use the Seven Injury Technique to seed Gong Zhiyuan's soul, and then quietly Just come back.”
His Seven Injury Technique has been practiced to the full level. In this case, Xu Ruyan can plant souls on three people at the same time.
Moreover, it is possible to plant souls across a large realm.
Gong Zhiyuan, who was only at the seventh level of the Golden Core, would not be aware of it even if he was soul-seeded.
"Yeah." Xu Ruyan grasped the key point.
She was very familiar with the Xunlong Sect, and couldn't be more familiar with it.
Chen Ping reminded:
"Gong Zhiyuan is at the seventh level of the Golden Core, and he comes from a large sect in Zhongdao. His strength is very small. All you need to do is plant a soul. Remember not to take too many measures, and don't attack him with a fluke mentality."
When the Seven Injury Technique is at full level, Xu Ruyan's concealment is very strong and she can deceive most of the exorcism talismans, magic weapons, and even magic weapons.
As long as he is just planting souls, Gong Zhiyuan will not have any awareness.
But if Gong Zhiyuan is attacked forcefully, that's another matter.
Xu Ruyan has just entered the third level, and she is practicing non-offensive magic like Seven Injury Technique. Her aggressiveness itself is constantly deteriorating, and she will most likely not be Gong Zhiyuan's opponent.
Seeing Xu Ruyan agree to the promise, Chen Ping continued:
"This person may not be in the Xunlong Sect at the moment. He may have gone further south. If so, you don't have to rush. There is no need to chase him to the south. He can just stay in the Xiuxian City outside the Xunlong Sect. At most, he will spend more time. There is no need to rush. become."
This is the first time Xu Ruyan has been asked to go out on a mission alone, so the knowledge that needs to be popularized needs to be popularized.
Stability is the most important thing in everything.
"Remember it, Master, Yan'er is gone." Xu Ruyan promised.
Chen Ping nodded.
Currently, Gong Zhiyuan is annexing Jishang Palace, which is a sect whose half of the sect's sphere of influence is located in the land of Nanmo Heluo. Various major forces and weird methods are emerging one after another.
This is the best moment to plot Gong Zhiyuan.
In the future, when Gong Zhiyuan realizes that he has been tricked, he will only wonder if he has provoked forces that he shouldn't have provoked in Jishang Palace.
After Xu Ruyan left Sanxiu City, she looked back at the seven Lingxiao Sects who were as powerful as her master in the night. She blinked with her big eyes and did not go directly to the south.
Instead, turn around and head east.
After a while, she appeared in a dense forest in the center of Qingyun Domain.
The forest there is extremely dense and inaccessible, but there are few towering trees that have grown for hundreds of years. Instead, there are many huge broken trunks lying in the forest. The trunks have long been covered with moss, or new ones have been pulled out. trunk.
It shows that a very destructive battle took place here decades ago.
If Chen Ping were here, he would definitely recognize that this was the main battlefield of the Demon-Slaying War before the Qingyun Domain was sealed.
Several golden elixirs have fallen on the battlefield.
Decades later, the place is still full of miasma and looming demonic energy. It is an absolute 'forbidden zone' for the rare low-level monks in Qingyun Domain.
Countless monks have died here, and their remnant souls have been everywhere for a long time. It is a paradise for evil spirits.
The same was true for the former Xu Ruyan.
Xu Ruyan entered the 'forbidden zone' expertly, and at the corner of the huge pit, she ducked into a tunnel that sloped downwards, walked through the curved tunnel, and finally entered a spacious cave.
The cave was also badly damaged, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and tall stone pillars full of mottled spots.
But Xu Ruyan did not stop, and continued diagonally downward for several miles through a secret passage, finally stopping in a cramped cave that had also been destroyed.
"Sister." Xu Ruyan called softly.
This is a voice that only evil spirits can understand.
"Yan'er~"
A figure whose evil aura was countless times weaker than that of Xu Ruyan flashed out from behind and suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ruyan. With ghostly eyes, he looked at Xu Ruyan seriously.
"Sister, there's no need to look at her, Yan'er is fine." Xu Ruyan smiled sweetly.
The other evil spirit is clearly Xu Ruyan's sister - Xu Ruluan.
Xu Ruluan cried with joy:
"I haven't seen you for several years. My sister thought you were gone. My sister and your Aunt Leng went to the Xunlong Sect. When they found out that Su Lengyuan was dead, they thought you and he had died together."
Behind them, stood an evil figure with a broken drum face. The facial features were painted on the drum surface, and his mouth was cracked, all the way to the lower edge of his ears.
At this time, when I saw Xu Ruyan, the two boudoir balls were shaking loudly and hitting the drum head (face), making a "dong-dong-dong" sound.
"Aunt Leng." Xu Ruyan called.
Drumface shook his head evilly, and Drumface's face turned back, revealing not the back of his head, but the face of a fox. To be precise, it was a mask of a fox with its eyes closed.
The two faces kept switching like this, showing that she was extremely happy at the moment.
But he never made a sound.
"Where have you been all these years?" Xu Ruluan kept rubbing her sister's face, her eyes filled with tears.
"Sister, please stop crying." Xu Ruyan sniffed:
"It's a long story, Yan'er will tell you slowly."
The three evil spirits were sitting in the cave like this. When Xu Ruyan finished telling her story, Xu Ruluan said in surprise:
"In order to kill Su Lengyuan, you recognized a human monk as your master? Did you become part of his magic weapon?"
Xu Ruyan quickly explained:
"That was true at first."
"But Yan'er later discovered that this master was different. Yan'er couldn't explain why, but it was indeed very different. Although Yan'er was just an evil spirit in the eyes of others, with her master, Yan'er lived out the feeling of a human being. "
Xu Ruluan looked at her sister, thinking it was her sister comforting her.
I felt sad for a while.
Unexpectedly, he had harmed his sister during his lifetime, and after his death, his sister would have to succumb to other monks in order to avenge him.
How can any human monk be kind to evil spirits?
The two have always been at odds with each other.
At most, it is just a tool for human monks.
"Sister, Yan'er knows what you are thinking. At the beginning, Yan'er was also the same. She was unwilling to be someone else's fighting weapon. Who would be willing to become someone else's fighting weapon? Yan'er didn't want to either. But then Yan'er figured it out. Sister, you and I are the wronged souls. Why are you still here?" Xu Ruyan didn't want her sister to worry about her.
"For the purpose of killing that beast Su Lengyuan with my own hands." Xu Ruluan's voice was a few degrees colder.
"Sister, Yan'er did it." Xu Ruyan said softly.
My sister Xu Ruluan choked for a moment.
The truth seems to be this.
After Xu Ruyan's obsession persisted and formed evil spirits, she worked hard to collect Xu Ruluan's remaining souls and gathered them together to form evil spirits.
But because there were too few remaining souls, and when Xu Ruuan died, she felt more regret, regretting that she was blind, instead of pointing all the fingers at Su Lengyuan like Xu Ruyan did.
So Xu Ruluan is not strong in obsession.
Because of this, even now, Xu Ruluan's strength is only at the first level and can only fight against monks in the Qi training period.
Therefore, she and her sister have been helpless against Su Lengyuan for many years.
From this perspective, Chen Ping did help them achieve their only goal as evil spirits.
"But." Xu Ruluan moved her mouth.
"Sister" Xu Ruyan interrupted her sister and continued:
"You and I are obsessed with each other. As the remaining souls, why do we still exist in this world?"
"This" Xu Ruluan was speechless for a moment.
The obsession is over
for what?
Probably because of the reluctance to leave this world?
The moment they become evil spirits, it means that they have lost the chance of normal reincarnation. In the future, when they as evil spirits dissipate, they will truly disappear in this world.
Seeing that her sister couldn't answer, Xu Ruyan said softly:
"Yan'er knows."
"For the reluctance to leave this world."
"Sister, the moment you become an evil spirit, it means that your and my souls have not entered the normal reincarnation. And the evil spirit itself is not tolerated by heaven. How easy is it to regain the chance of reincarnation? With my sister and Yan'er's own experience, It is impossible to get such an opportunity without ability.”
"But Master can."
"Yan'er has been staying with the master for many years. Yan'er's intuition told Yan'er that if the master really encounters an opportunity to send Yan'er to reincarnation in the future, the master may be willing to do so. The master is really different from other monks .”
After Xu Ruyan finished speaking, she looked at her sister, who had been silent for a while, and Aunt Leng, who had been speechless, and said softly:
"This time Yan'er came here privately to ask her sister and aunt if they would like to go with Yan'er to the master's place. If she is willing, Yan'er can go and ask the master, and the master may agree."
"Yan'er once mentioned to the master that there was a powerful third-level evil spirit. At that time, the master was mainly worried about danger, so he didn't want to come."
"Have you mentioned it once?" Xu Ruluan was a little nervous.
"Yeah." Xu Ruyan nodded.
Xu Ruluan looked at Aunt Leng, whose face was constantly changing, and said softly:
"You also know that your Aunt Leng is special. She only has third-level strength here. When she comes out of this cave, she has the same first-level strength as me. Your master may not like us."
Xu Ruyan opened her mouth.
She actually felt a little guilty.
At first, he said in front of Chen Ping that there was a third-level evil spirit, but in fact it had limitations. As for the first-level evil spirits, in her opinion, Chen Ping might not necessarily appreciate them. You must know that for Chen Ping's strength, it is not too easy to catch a few first-level evil spirits.
She looked at Aunt Leng, then at the dark pattern on the side of the cave, and asked:
"Is it because Aunt Leng still hasn't been able to find out the reason after all these years?"
Xu Ruluan shook his head:
"You also know that your Aunt Leng came out of the dark pattern, but where is the end of the dark pattern connected to? No one knows. In the past few years, your Aunt Leng and I have tried to explore along the dark pattern, but There is really no end, and neither you nor I can do anything about it.”
Xu Ruyan nodded and looked away from Dark Pattern.
He looked at his sister and said:
"Sister, Yan'er came out this time to carry out the master's mission, so it is inconvenient to stay longer. After this mission is over, why don't sister and Yan'er go to meet the master together?"
Xu Ruluan met her sister's gaze.
She hesitated, stood up and took a few steps:
"Let's talk about it. Let me think about it. If my sister wants to change her mind at that time, she can go to the outskirts of Lingxiao Sect and leave you a message."
"That's fine." Xu Ruyan hummed.
Finally, he reminded:
"Sister, you must be careful when you go to Lingxiao Sect. The master is very powerful. There are seven others who are as powerful as the master. You must not meet these monks."
Xu Ruluan was stunned for a moment.
She had just learned from her sister that Chen Ping was a golden elixir monk, but she never thought that there were so many golden elixir monks in Lingxiao Sect?
"I know, you should be careful too."
"."
Coming out of the cave at the battle site, Xu Ruyan headed southwest and appeared outside the Xunlong Sect before dawn.
I was quite emotional for a while.
She had been here countless times many years ago and knew the surroundings of the Xunlong Sect very well.
I came here just to plot against a foundation-building monk, but I didn't get what I asked for.
A few times I almost lost my mind.
But now that he is back again, he is already at the third level, and the person who needs to calculate is a real person at the seventh level of the Golden Core.
This was unthinkable before.
Because the monk who wanted to plot was too powerful, she kept Chen Ping's words in mind and did not show up during the whole process. She just hid in the forest outside Xiuxian City and waited for Gong Zhiyuan to appear.
What she didn't expect was that she would have to wait for several months.
