After Chen Ping returned to the mansion, he was not in a hurry to pack up his things and move them to Bixian Pavilion.
Although Fairy Biyuan promised to move there, there is no need to rush. He currently has more important things to deal with first.
That is to kill Dugu Jijiu.
Why.
Over the years, I have been careful, kept a low profile in everything, and tried not to have anything to do with big forces, so as to avoid 'killing the young and raising the old'. Unexpectedly, I still have to face such a situation now.
Dugu Jijiu is a disciple of the head of the Yunjin Sect.
Although she has fallen out of favor, she is even on the verge of losing this status that combines thousands of favors.
But that's not necessarily a good thing.
If Dugu Jijiu is killed and the head of the Yunjin Sect chooses to come forward, without evidence, the most he can do is find the head of the Tianyin Sect.
The head of the Yunjin Sect is a real person, and he will never directly find a real person like Chen Ping in any case.
The identities are too far apart.
In this way, in the absence of insufficient evidence, the high probability is over. At most, the Tianyin Sect will find other excuses to compensate for it by some chance.
But when the head of the Yunjin Sect gave up on Dugu Jiujiu, it was the Dugu family who came forward directly.
Chen Ping knew very well what kind of people the Dugu family were.
To say despicable is an understatement.
The only good thing is that the most powerful ancestor of the Dugu family is a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
'Killing Dugu and offering sacrifices to Jiu is a double-edged sword. '
'But had to kill. '
Of course, in order to deceive others, it is best not to kill in Tianyin Fairy City.
It's best not to kill at this juncture.
He once again thought of the information in the brochures that Shiba had given him before, as well as the information provided verbally this morning.
More than 700,000 miles away from the Tianyin Immortal Domain, there is a fairy city called Sui Xicheng.
That fairy city is not as big as Tianyin Fairy City, nor does it have so many high-level monks.
There are only a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion.
But the owner of the City Lord's Mansion in that fairy city has a very deep connection with the Dugu family. A cousin and an aunt of Dugu Jijiu were married in that City Lord's Mansion.
Because of this, the city lord's mansion became the harbor for Dugu Jijiu.
In the past, after Dugu Jijiu was injured after accepting a challenge in Tianyin Fairy City, he did not choose to heal his injuries in Tianyin Fairy City, but returned to that fairy city to heal his injuries.
Tianyin Fairy City has a teleportation array leading to that fairy city, which is very convenient.
'The sword intention I used in the Sword Tomb Valley is the magical sword intention. Dugu Jijiu's soul suffered a lot of trauma in this battle. In addition, Biyuan injured his Dantian, his top priority must be to find A place to heal. '
If it were the past peaceful era.
They might choose to go directly back to Yunjin Sect for healing.
After all, Yunjin Sect and Tianyin Immortal City are both super large sects. Even if there is no direct teleportation array because they are too far apart, they still use a teleportation chain. At most, they pass through a few transfer stations in the middle.
It's also easy to transfer.
You can stay at Tianyin Sect in the morning and reach Yunjin Sect in the afternoon.
However, in the past hundred years, many outside continents have been blocked, resulting in the failure of several intermediate transfer stations in the transmission chain from Yunjin Sect to Tianyin Sect.
Nowadays, the distance required to travel from Tianyin Sect to Yunjin Sect is much larger than before, and there are still several sections of the journey that no longer have teleportation sites, so it is necessary to fly to cross those areas.
Dugu Jijiu is now seriously injured, and it is unlikely that Dugu Yuan will take the seriously injured Dugu Jijiu on his way.
This is risky.
Then Suixi City is the most likely place for them to settle temporarily.
The best way is to let Dugu Jijiu stay in Suixi City forever.
Chen Ping opened the map given to him by Shiba just now.
The map marks which Xiuxian City has teleportation points that are open to the public, including some famous secret realms, ruins and other places that are the most convenient teleportation routes through Tianyin Immortal City.
This map was produced by the General Affairs Pavilion. As long as the monks who often go out often have a copy of it.
Chen Ping thought carefully for a while and chose the most hidden intermittent transmission route to Suixi City.
The next day.
Many monks in Tianyin Fairy City were immersed in the discussion about Dugu Jijiu's defeat to the mysterious Nineteenth monk. Chen Ping held the 'Broken Square Awl' in one hand, silently recited the curse, and disappeared into his quiet room. inside.
He did not choose to go out through the main entrance of Tianyin Fairy City and did not leave any registration information.
Instead, choose Earth Escape.
First, he escaped vertically downwards through the soil. He didn't stop until he reached a depth of about 120 miles, then turned around and escaped outside the city.
His earth escape technique is at full level, and he can escape to a maximum depth of 120 miles in the early stage of the golden elixir. At the current late stage of the golden elixir, it has increased slightly, reaching a depth of about 130 miles.
With this level of earth escape, there is no need to worry about being noticed by other monks.
The earth element is very disruptive to the monk's spiritual consciousness.
Immortal cities usually have large city defense formations, and super big cities like Tianyin Immortal City are no exception.
But these formations had no impact on Chen Ping.
With the 'Broken Square Cone' in hand, the formation is like a virtual object.
After leaving the city, Chen Ping continued his earth escape.
In earth escape at a depth of 120 miles, the traveling speed is very slow, not one thousandth of the speed on the ground, but Chen Ping doesn't care.
He doesn't pursue speed.
Instead, pursue safety.
It wasn't until he was more than two thousand miles away from Tianyin Fairy City that he emerged from the soil.
He disguised himself as an old man, and then hurried through the forest according to the previously planned route.
There is a direct transfer point from Tianyin Fairy City to Suixi City. But if you use a teleportation point, it will leave some traces. Although the Shuwu Pavilion keeps customer information highly confidential, if you can't leave such a handle, you won't leave it.
During this period, transfers were completed between several small transfer points.
Other than that, most of the journey is done by flying alone.
Ten days later, Suixi City appeared in front of Chen Ping.
He took out the map of Suixi City that he bought at the Sanxiufang City in the previous Xiuxian City and looked at it.
Suixi City is far inferior to Tianyin Immortal City. There are basically no Nascent Soul cultivators among the casual cultivators, but there are a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the city lord's mansion.
Overall, the level is a level higher than that of the original Tianyan City.
In the current troubled times, this Immortal City also needs to register everyone entering and leaving the Immortal City, but it is not as strict as Tianyin Immortal City. Tianyin Immortal City can only enter with the identity token provided by Tianyin Immortal City.
But Suixi City is not so strict.
As long as you check that you are not a demon and register your information after interrogation, you can enter the fairy city.
However, Chen Ping still did not enter the fairy city directly from the main entrance.
Instead, he chose Earth Escape.
Then he emerged from a residential area of Suixi City where foundation building and Qi training monks lived.
As a Qi training monk, I rented a house in the casual cultivation area.
Then he went to the low-level Sanxiufang City to wander around for a while, and learned some information about the City Lord's Mansion before going to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
This Immortal Cultivation City is also attached to a Cultivation Immortal Sect. The reason why the Immortal Cultivation City was established here is not because of the strong aura here, nor the geological peculiarities such as the Taoism here.
Rather, this position is an important gateway for the sect's external expansion and operations.
Simply put, it is of strategic importance.
This also determines the two major characteristics of the City Lord’s Mansion:
First, the City Lord's Mansion is not a real suspended City Lord's Mansion, and its aura and geological conditions are not up to par. But it is connected with the entire fairy city.
Secondly, because of its strategic importance, the City Lord's Mansion is very heavily defended. This is also the reason why Dugu Jijiu dared to heal his wounds in this fairy city in the past.
Chen Ping was sitting in a private room of a restaurant and looked outside the window at the entrance to the City Lord's Mansion in the distance.
Released the Xu sisters.
After briefly explaining the situation, Chen Ping solemnly said:
"Xu Ruluan, your mission is to find an opportunity to enter the City Lord's Mansion through the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and find out if Dugu Jijiu and his son are here? Where is the specific location of the mansion."
It is still unknown whether Dugu Jijiu and his son came to Suixi City. It was Chen Ping's speculation before.
The most important thing at the moment is for Xu Ruluan to confirm this.
Xu Ruluan's concealment is very good. As long as the moment someone enters or exits the city lord's palace, Xu Ruluan takes the opportunity to possess some servants with no or very low cultivation and enter, without causing any fluctuations in the formation.
"Yes, head of the family." Xu Ruluan promised.
Chen Ping nodded:
"Pay attention to safety. This place is heavily guarded. There may be danger anywhere. After entering, you only need to see clearly the situation of Dugu Jijiu and his son. Do not make any arbitrary decisions or show up easily."
Xu Ruluan's Gongshen Technique is at full level and has a very strong concealment effect.
As long as she doesn't take the initiative to reveal her evil aura, she may not be able to discover her in the later stages of Nascent Soul.
Ordinary magic weapons and magic weapons cannot sense her either.
But if she shows up, it will be another matter. Once she leaks a little evil breath, once she is sensed by the Yuanying monks or by some magic weapons installed in the city lord's palace.
When the Nascent Soul cultivator is alert, he will take the initiative to activate some high-level spiritual treasures to find her.
There are many powerful things in this world, and it may not be impossible to see her spiritual treasure.
Have to guard against it.
"Ruluan understands that Ruluan is just the eyes of the family owner and will never make any arbitrary decisions." Xu Ruluan knew the seriousness of the situation.
The two sisters are only at the third level of strength, as is the smiling fox, and the head of the family is also only a golden elixir monk.
But what we have to face now is the Nascent Soul cultivator.
And it’s not just first-level Nascent Soul True Lords like Dugu Jijiu, but also middle-stage Nascent Soul monks like Dugu Yuan. There are also other Nascent Soul monks in the City Lord’s Mansion.
The degree of danger can be imagined.
One wrong step and you could be doomed.
After Chen Ping finished explaining, he looked at Xu Ruyan again:
"Your mission is to stay here and not enter the City Lord's Mansion. If you find any movement, go to the house just now and look for me."
"If you see Dugu Yuan coming out, plant a soul for him. After planting the soul, don't curse him and let him know. Do you understand?"
Xu Ruyan nodded seriously:
"Yan'er understands."
After Chen Ping arranged for the Xu Ruyan sisters, he did not stay in the restaurant for too long and returned to the dilapidated house in the casual cultivation area.
First, he arranged a formation in the house, and then practiced by himself in the house.
The next thing to do is to wait.
Wait for the right time.
Time passed day by day, and Chen Ping occasionally spent time with Xu Ruluan to observe the situation in the city lord's palace.
Most of the time I practice in my house.
There has been no news from Xu Ruyan.
Two months passed quickly, and Xu Ruluan finally brought good news, that is, he saw Dugu Yuan in the city lord's mansion.
Since Dugu Yuan is here, Dugu Jijiu must also be here.
Soon, following the tracking of Dugu Yuan, they found the mansion where Dugu Yuan and Dugu Jijiu lived.
But because only Dugu and his son lived in this mansion, Xu Ruluan did not see any low-level servants coming or going during the time he was following. The place was full of charm, so Xu Ruluan naturally did not dare to possess Dugu Yuan.
Therefore, there is no way to enter this independent mansion.
It can only be observed from the periphery.
In that mansion.
Dugu Jijiu sat cross-legged in the quiet room to heal his injuries.
The injury this time was caused by a large amount of sword energy infusing the body and damaging the soul. It is not easy to recover. In addition, Biyuan's malicious revenge hurt the Dantian, which made it even worse.
If it were other monks, it would take at least several decades to recover. If they wanted to completely recover as before, it would probably take even more time.
But he is different.
He has a unique self-healing technique.
And the depth of practice is pretty good.
It will take at most two or three years to recover on its own.
"How do you feel?" Dugu Yuan, who had been standing by the side, asked quickly when he saw his son opening his eyes.
Dugu Jijiu's face was extremely pale, but his expression was very relaxed and he smiled:
"The recovery is very fast, the Dantian has not been irreversibly damaged, and the Yuan Shen can be completely repaired."
Dugu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good. It's only been two months. Don't rush. Recover slowly. When you're fully recovered, you can return to my Dugu family's practice place."
As long as it doesn't affect Dugu Jijiu's talent and leaves no hidden disease, it's a good thing for them.
As for recovery, it has never been difficult for their family.
"Is there any news from the Tianyin Sect?" Dugu Jijiu asked.
"My father has been watching over you for the past two months, and I don't know what the situation is like outside. But now that you are fine, my father can go out and walk around, see your cousins, and take a look. The situation outside." Dugu Yuan stood up and patted his robe.
He said with a relaxed look:
"Don't worry, you can heal your wounds here. The high-level formations in this city lord's mansion are very cleverly arranged, and ordinary people cannot enter."
"We have arranged several independent formations in this independent mansion, and each one is not weak. There will be no worries about practicing here."
"My child knows." Dugu Jijiu nodded.
Then his eyes turned red again.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"Hmph, wait until I fully recover before you go to take Chen Ping's life. You beast, are you worthy? A loser who can only hide in Tianyin Fairy City as a casual cultivator when troubled times come. Are you worthy of Bi Yuan?" The fairy knows who the true genius is."
Dugu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally did not speak to reprimand.
Just reassured:
"Continue to heal."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the woman behind him:
"Take good care of me, sir. I'm in the quiet room outside. If you need anything, go to me."
This woman is a beautiful woman raised by the Dugu family.
He is also the only third person in this independent mansion besides Dugu Yuan and his son.
Dugu Yuan originally wanted to eliminate everyone, but considering Dugu Jijiu's situation, he thought that perhaps leaving a woman for Dugu Jijiu to enjoy would help him slowly forget about some people and things, which would be more conducive to eliminating his inner demons.
This woman was left alone.
More importantly, the woman is a human being.
Mortals were not threatening in any way. Dugu Jijiu was sitting there undefended and could not be killed even if she slashed him.
Such a woman is easy to control, including her thoughts.
"Yes." The woman lowered her head.
Another month has passed.
Xu Ruyan, who was guarding outside the city lord's mansion, finally waited for Dugu Yuan to go out.
At this time, more than three months had passed since Chen Ping arrived in Suixi City.
Xu Ruyan followed Chen Ping's instructions and just completed the soul-seeking of Dugu Yuan silently. She did not make any extra moves and did not follow Dugu Yuan. Instead, she quickly returned to the house where Chen Ping was.
"It's finally out."
In the house, Chen Ping stopped practicing and opened his eyes.
It’s been three months.
Finally waited until Dugu Yuan left the city lord's mansion.
"Master, do you want to bite him?" Xu Ruyan asked back.
"No rush, don't touch him now." Chen Ping stood up. The most important thing at the moment was to kill Dugu Jijiu.
Chen Ping immediately contacted Xu Ruluan and asked Xu Ruluan to stop staring at the independent mansion and immediately go to the gate of the city lord's mansion to guard. If he saw Dugu Yuan returning, he would immediately pass the message back.
Xu Ruluan's Sharing Technique can ensure that what she sees is what Chen Ping sees, making it much more convenient than Xu Ruyan in tracking.
After doing all this, Chen Ping silently recited the earth escape spell and disappeared into the simple house.
From this house to the mansion where Dugu Jijiu is located, Chen Ping has observed it countless times through Xu Ruluan's eyes. He knows the distance and the situation along the way very well, and has already calculated the direction and route of the Earth Escape.
Soon, it appeared at the bottom of the independent mansion.
Then slowly advance upward, being as careful as possible not to release any fluctuations in spiritual power.
When he reached the underground, which was only a few miles above the ground, Chen Ping stopped moving.
From this distance, not only could he clearly see Dugu Jijiu who was meditating to heal his injuries.
This distance is also the distance at which he can use his magical powers.
Chen Ping carefully released his consciousness and sensed that Dugu Jijiu's aura was calm.
This is a state of deep healing.
The healing technique of the Dugu Jijiu Family is very miraculous, but it also has a characteristic, that is, when using the healing technique, you need to let go of your mind and close your soul.
This means that Dugu Jijiu's Dantian is undefended from the outside.
The soul is in a deep sleep state.
Chen Ping's current magical power can manifest the sword into the opponent's dantian, provided that the defense of the opponent's dantian is not too high.
It has been tried on monsters before, and it is feasible for late-stage third-level monsters.
However, if the late third-level monster is highly vigilant about fortification, the sword light can enter the Dantian, but it will be difficult to break the monster's demon elixir.
It is even more difficult to kill the Nascent Soul cultivator.
But it was different for Dugu Jijiu to be completely undefended.
Chen Ping looked at other places in the mansion again and found that except for Dugu Jijiu and a woman, there were no other living creatures.
And the woman didn't have any breath fluctuations.
Or a mortal.
Either he was a monk whose cultivation level was much higher than Chen Ping's. If he wanted to completely escape Chen Ping's sense of breath at such a close distance, he would have to at least become a god.
Chen Ping observed carefully for a while, and judged from the woman's groveling behavior that she could not be a deity, but a mortal.
Then it'll be fine.
now.
With a thought, Chen Ping activated his magical power, and a powerful sword light instantly appeared in Dugu Jijiu's Dantian.
The baby Yuanshen in Dugu Jijiu Dantian was in a closed state of mind. At this moment, he sensed the approach of a foreign object, but before he could wake up, the light of the sword instantly stirred towards the sleeping baby Yuanshen.
The Nascent Soul was instantly annihilated.
Dugu Jijiu trembled all over while he was meditating, and his head immediately dropped.
He didn't even open his eyes.
A group of serving women saw Dugu Jijiu trembling. They originally thought that Dugu Jijiu was going to get up again to ask for it, but then he fell asleep again. The women were confused and could only continue to stand by.
underground.
Chen Ping felt it and his soul was completely destroyed.
However, to be on the safe side, he still used the soul-extracting whip to sneak into the quiet room while the woman was not paying attention, leaving only a small section exposed, and swept away the remaining souls.
He didn't go up to collect the body, but quickly returned along the way he came.
At the same time, summon Xu Ruluan to leave.
After she returned to her simple house, she began to quickly pack up the formation equipment and erase any trace of her life here. She continued to wait for a while, and when Xu Ruluan came back, she silently recited the earth escape spell again.
This time, it was Tu Dun who left Suixi City.
Not long after, he had appeared in the forest tens of thousands of miles away.
