The evil cultivator has always been spineless. Under this kind of crushing, he knelt down and begged for mercy. He was not as arrogant as before.
Zhao Ning stared at him, "Didn't you set it up? The core of the formation is in your hands."
"What I said is true. I just happened to be hiding here. The core of the formation was unguarded, so I just took it for my own use."
This evil cultivator is still saying this, and Zhao Ning has doubts in her heart. Could it be that her initial speculation was wrong and that the Chen family had other plans?
Seeing that Zhao Ning had slowed down and seemed to be deep in thought, he leaned down and retreated furtively, hoping to take the opportunity to escape.
But he didn't expect the branches to wrap around him faster than he did, wrapping him up in an instant.
Zhao Ning put her left hand on his head, and a powerful spiritual power penetrated into his soul.
The evil cultivator began to twitch, his eyes full of shock and resentment, and his whole body gradually stiffened until he finally uttered a few words with difficulty.
"Search...soul..."
Zhao Ning directly searched the soul of the evil cultivator. Since words cannot tell the truth from falsehood in many things, he had to use his eyes to see the truth.
Putting aside the dirty and disgusting fragments in the memory of the evil cultivator, the memory fell outside a valley. The valley had its mountain gate closed, empty of people, and extremely quiet.
The evil cultivator hid in the mountain col and peered at the entrance of the valley for a long time. Until late at night, he took out the soul flag and used secret techniques to summon the soul.
Under the cover of night, countless soul shadows poured into the soul flags like a tide.
"where is that?"
However, there is no answer in the memory of the evil cultivator. This evil cultivator collected three thousand souls and suddenly encountered several foundation-building monks coming with swords. He was beaten to death and escaped using secret methods, returning to Guigui Mound.
But in a panic, he rushed into Gui Gu Ming and accidentally ran into the seven-star strangulation array. Fortunately, the seven-star strangulation array was not powerful enough to practice Qi. He was seriously injured and found the core of the array in embarrassment, so he came up with the idea of using the array to protect himself. .
But not long after, the first batch of disciples came to search for Chen Yu's whereabouts. They were caught off guard and trapped by the seven-star strangulation formation. Blood flowed into the earth temple, awakening the evil cultivator who was recovering from his injuries. The evil cultivator was overjoyed and used the enhanced formation to kill everyone trapped. Use their blood and cultivation to heal yourself.
This was repeated four or five times, not only the disciples who took the task to search, but also other monks who accidentally broke into the formation.
More than a month passed like this, late one night, a group of monks returned to the bone mound. With expressionless faces, they silently strangled all the evil cultivators hiding in the mound and dug up all the bones in the tombs.
He watched helplessly as one of them approached, opened the unknown tomb, and pulled out an uncorroded corpse from inside.
It was Chen Yu.
Chapter 137
Zhao Ning noticed something was wrong when she came out of Guigang.
Guo Ying'er and others disappeared, and there were obvious signs of fighting all around.
Zhao Ning was shocked. Could it be that the strange gravedigger in the memory of the evil cultivator of Foundation Establishment was here.
The traces continued intermittently until they completely disappeared on the other side of Guigugang. Zhao Ning used the disciple order to trace the trace. The disciple order dispersed into a few rays of light and went away. Zhao Ning caught up with a ray of light and fell into a withered and rotten tree. There were hidden objects around the rotten tree. Qingxiao Sect's exclusive sealing technique can only be detected by disciples of Qingxiao Sect with disciple orders.
The sealing spell was released, and a figure rolled out of the tree hole.
"Junior Sister Liu?!"
She was in a mess and covered in rotten mud, but Zhao Ning still recognized that this was one of the outer disciples who was doing the mission together, named Liu Jia.
When spiritual power was injected into Liu Jia's body, her meridians were cut off, all her internal organs were damaged, and her foundation was destroyed. She could only survive with her last breath.
The spiritual power slowly repaired the injuries in her body, and Liu Jia regained consciousness slightly. Her eyelids were too heavy to open, and she finally saw Zhao Ning clearly. She grabbed Zhao Ning's arm tightly with her left hand, "Quick...Guo..."
The voice was like a mosquito. Only when Zhao Ning got close did he hear her intermittently saying, "Senior Sister Guo... they... were taken away... there are monsters... save... save... cough cough cough..."
Seeing her vomiting out a large mouthful of blood again, Zhao Ning sensed something was wrong and opened her clothes, only to find a large wound on her waist and abdomen. The wound was decaying and spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye. No matter how Zhao Ning used his spiritual power to treat it, he could not save her.
"Senior Sister Shen...Senior Sister Shen, don't...expend your spiritual power on me..." She raised her hand tremblingly and pointed forward, "Quick...quickly save...them..."
She couldn't raise her hand more than three inches, and before she could finish her words, she lost her strength and fell down.
"Junior sister Liu!" Zhao Ning shouted sadly, "Liu Jia!"
Zhao Ning watched helplessly as the gray rotten wound devoured Liu Jia, but she tried everything she could to stop it. After half a cup of tea, her body turned into fly ash and drifted in the direction she had pointed before.
Zhao Ning forcibly calmed down her emotions and chased Fei Ash to the cliff, but she didn't expect that seven hundred feet below the cliff was a manor house.
It was the mansion of the Qi Molin family. It was hidden in the dense forest. Looking down from above, it was brightly lit and full of people.
All the clues point to the Qi Molin family's mansion. Even if it's Longtan Tiger's Den, Zhao Ning has to go and try it.
Zhao Ning arrived at Lin's Manor House as quickly as possible. The moonlight was dim at this time, and two red lanterns at the door of the Manor House were swaying in the night wind. There was no sound inside the Manor House, which was completely different from what Zhao Ning saw on the cliff. Same.
The door opened with a creak, only to see the mess all over the floor. Furniture and utensils were scattered everywhere, as if it had been looted.
Zhao Ning held her whip and was vigilant, walking step by step towards the village house. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and the furniture was covered with a layer of dust. But this was not right. They saw it when they passed by the intersection to Lin's village house a few days ago. Many casual cultivators went to Lin's house.
Zhao Ning only penetrated a few feet, and the door behind him suddenly closed. When Zhao Ning turned around, a black shadow suddenly flashed past.
"Soul Binding Technique."
Zhao Ning cast the spell without even thinking, and a black shadow like a mist was forcibly imprisoned in place. However, when Zhao Ning came closer, the shadow suddenly broke free from the spell, and his body suddenly collapsed, and at ten A shadowed corner gathered and took shape ten feet away, and then entered a small courtyard.
After chasing him for a moment, the black shadow disappeared in the courtyard. She looked around cautiously, her ears twitched slightly, and suddenly she whipped her whip and heard a shrill meow.
"Little Black Tiger?!"
The spiritual whip split open the hidden black shadow, and the little black tiger rolled out of the black mass.
Zhao Ning was slightly shocked, "What's going on? Where is your master?!"
The little black tiger stood up and ran towards the side room. Zhao Ning kicked open the door of the side room, and another figure came to slash with a sword.
"Entanglement!"
The vines rushed out of the ground and bound the figure tightly, revealing a twisted and lifeless face.
"Junior sister Guo!" Zhao Ning shouted, but she didn't respond. The little black tiger was still biting the hem of her skirt under her feet.
Continuously performing the Concentration Art and the Meditation Art finally awakened Guo Ying'er's sanity.
"Zhao Ning! It's you!" Guo Ying'er woke up and felt frightened again, "Quickly, there are monsters here!"
"Where are the other junior brothers and sisters?!"
"I don't know. I have been trapped here since I was captured. I heard faint sounds of joy, but the more I listened, the more confused my mind became. I almost hurt you just now."
At this time, Guo Ying'er looked outside. It was dark and dead outside. She walked to the door and took a look, which made her even more frightened. "What's going on? There's nothing there."
She grabbed Zhao Ning's arm and stuffed the little black tiger into the spirit beast's collar. "Something's wrong here. The evil cultivator must be using monsters to cause trouble. We can't stay here anymore, it will be in danger."
Zhao Ning did not doubt Guo Ying'er's words, or the situation described by Guo Ying'er was what Zhao Ning thought might happen.
Seeing that Guo Ying'er was too panicked, she did not hesitate and took Guo Ying'er away in the wind. But as soon as she stepped out of the small courtyard, she heard a baby crying from the direction of the main house of the manor house. It was vague and harsh, and was accompanied by a wave of hair on her spine. Cold sense of crisis.
"Listen, there is something, indeed there is something, and it is spying on us."
But the crying disappeared after just three breaths, and the sense of crisis also faded away, as if it was their illusion.
Zhao Ning glanced at the main building of the village with solemn eyes.
"Let's go!" Pulling the almost stiff Guo Ying'er out, she walked all the way to the door of the village house. The door opened at some point, as if waiting for them to leave.
Zhao Ning's mind was extremely tense until she reached the door of the village house. Zhao Ning suddenly lifted her back and directly turned Guo Yinger, who was relying on her back, out of the door first, while she herself paused inside the door.
When Guo Ying'er saw the door, she quickly pulled Zhao Ning out, but she didn't want Zhao Ning to follow suit, "Zhao Ning, you, what are you going to do?"
She realized that Zhao Ning didn't want to follow her, so she grabbed Zhao Ning's arm with both hands, "No, it's too dangerous. The monsters inside are unknown. If the evil cultivator is at least a basic cultivation level, you will die."
However, Zhao Ning stuffed a talisman into her hand. The ancient and mysterious ancient cloud patterns depicted the talisman of thousands of miles of teleportation.
"Go to the sect and find the sect master uncle to help. Junior sister Liu Jia is dead, and Tian Jiu and the others are still alive and dead inside. I brought them out to do the task, and I can't abandon them."
"Zhao Ning! No! The sect will not punish you. No one can guarantee safety in this situation."
Guo Ying'er wanted to pull Zhao Ning away, but at this moment the cry of the baby in the inner courtyard got closer. Zhao Ning no longer delayed, pushed the person out forcefully, and then waved her sleeves and suddenly closed the door.
She turned around and struck the manor house behind her in the darkness with her whip. A streak of blood suddenly appeared, and the vague cry suddenly became much clearer.
The bloody light tore open a crack in the void, and the brightly lit manor house gradually appeared. A group of monsters as black as fog rushed towards them carrying corpses and stench. The spiritual light unfolded the seal, and the two forces collided and faced each other in the air.
Zhao Ning saw a pair of chaotic blood eyes.
There seemed to be a ghostly force swirling in the blood eyes, and Zhao Ning felt that his consciousness was being sucked in. He shook for a moment, and suddenly used Xunfeng Light Feather Technique to forcefully break away from the confrontation.
Unexpectedly, the thing did not go straight to Zhao Ning, but rushed straight to the gate of the village. The gate burst open, and on the road outside the door, Guo Ying'er's figure had not yet left.
The strong wind rushed out of the village house with strange power. Guo Ying'er was hit hard to the ground, and she vomited out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Zhao Ning cast a spell and turned his spiritual power into a chain, forcing the thing to get stuck at the gate of the mansion.
Guo Ying'er shouted in horror, "Zhao Ning!"
Zhao Ning scolded, "Quickly leave! If you don't call the uncles here, I'll be stuck here too!"
Guo Ying'er got up urgently, "You must hold on, I'm going to call my uncle to rescue you soon!"
Zhao Ning let out a long roar, and the aura of the whip became 30% brighter. It was fierce and concentrated, and the whip was lifted back, directly throwing the roaring monster back into the torn space.
A strong wind blew up, and the main door of the village was closed again. Zhao Ning pinched his hands and used the sealing technique to seal the door from the inside.
Unless someone in the foundation-building realm comes, no one can enter this weird manor house again.
After doing all this, Zhao Ning entered the void crack without hesitation.
A brand new Lin's manor house, magnificent and brightly lit, with red lanterns swaying in every corner of the house, full of joy, people buzzing, glasses clinking, but the weird monsters have disappeared.
Zhao Ning walked around the screen wall of the main room and saw countless people appearing in the room with smiles on their faces, changing glasses. In front of dozens of wedding banquet tables, middle-aged men toasted each other with wine. Sitting next to him, a woman bowed her head and hugged Swaddled and rocked.
Woman? Swaddling? This scene made Zhao Ning feel familiar.
Just taking half a step forward, it felt like breaking a certain barrier and becoming a part of a strange wedding banquet.
Someone raised a wine glass and came to her left side, "Where did the fairy come from? We are from the Green Mountain. Since we are destined to meet each other, how about having a drink together?"
Another person on the right chuckled, "This is the banquet hosted by the head of the Lin family. How come it has become a place for you to make friends and win over? If you want me to say that this glass of wine should be given to the head of the Lin family first."
After a pause, the black brocade whip in his hand disappeared and turned into a wine glass half filled with wine.
She raised her head, and the middle-aged man in front of the wedding banquet raised his glass to her with a smile.
Zhao Ning raised her hand, raised her glass, and then poured it over.
The wine was sprinkled on the ground as a way to pay homage to the dead souls. Suddenly the wine glass flew out and broke into several pieces in front of the middle-aged man and stabbed him. He did not dodge at all. The pieces pierced his body. He looked down and then All his clothes and flesh fell off, leaving his bones empty for half a breath before falling apart and piled on the ground.
