"Um..." Ji Xiu faked a cough, "Zhao Ning, I made a mistake."
But Zhao Ning did not respond, and just said lightly, "No, I am not Zhao Ning, I am Lin Ying."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was Zhao Ning's reply to what they just said, "Why are there two Zhao Nings?", and that this was Zhao Ning turning around and teasing them.
"Cough." Shi Yueze coughed, "Zhao Ning, ah no, Junior Sister Lin, this joke is a bit cold."
Shang Xia looked at Zhao Ning in astonishment. Zhao Ning's name was rarely mentioned in Kunxu, even in the Qingxiao Sect, but the name Lin Ying was different. Every time this name was mentioned, it was shocking. The strength of Tiandongdi and the slightly ambiguous rumors about the legendary leader of Qingxiao Sect.
He swallowed, and at this moment, he suddenly understood how scary the identity of the great-aunt in front of him was.
"Can this illusion be removed?" Xiang Hongxuan suddenly interrupted. He didn't seem to want to appear in Zhao Ning's appearance. The most important thing was that he couldn't sense what his changed Zhao Ning appearance looked like.
"This is the realm of demons." Zhao Ning said, "You are affected by demons, and there is no way to change your appearance in the eyes of others. Only by walking out of here can you naturally return to your original state."
Shi Yueze and the others looked at Xiang Hongxuan and then at Zhao Ning. They were really not used to being in front of the two Zhao Ning.
"The realm of demons? But I don't feel any trace of demons here." Peng Jue asked doubtfully.
Shang Xia explained, "My great-aunt speculated that this place may be a barrier set up by ghosts and gods, using the power of the earth demon to open up a space to prevent the innocent souls inside from escaping here. At the same time, they also try to prevent outsiders from entering. But there is no boundary, It’s easy to get lost and there’s no danger.”
He glanced at them furtively again, as if to say, Unless you attack each other yourselves.
He Jie was not caught yet, but was put up by a barrier, which was really embarrassing.
Shi Yueze and Ji Xiu looked at each other, both feeling a little disappointed.
Xiang Hongxuan was reminded by this sentence and suddenly realized something, "Isn't He Jie here?"
"I told you a long time ago that he has snatched the power here."
Xiang Hongxuan gritted his teeth, "He Jie is indeed a person from three thousand years ago."
"He must be." Peng Jue said, "I just don't know how he became like this in the past three thousand years. If he devoted himself to cultivation and relied on his talent to gain a foothold in the Kyushu, why would he use such a method."
After he finished wondering, he added in a flash of thinking, "Also, Sect Master Xiang, just talk when you say it, and do such twisting movements while pretending to be Zhao Ning."
Xiang Hongxuan's anger was rekindled, but it was instantly extinguished by his words, and he only glared at him subconsciously.
But he didn't want to be pointed at by Peng Jue, as if to say, look, it's this twisting action.
Xiang Hongxuan was completely discouraged.
Zhao Ning lifted a palace lantern in her hand. The palace lantern flickered with faint candlelight, as if it would be extinguished at the touch of the breeze.
At this moment, Zhao Ning said, "He may not have lived for three thousand years."
The eternal lamp of innate saintliness lit up a road to break through the demonic obstacles, and she led everyone forward.
Ji Xiu was puzzled, "Zhao Ning, what do you mean by that? Didn't you say in the ceremony that he was not three hundred years old, but a person who lived three thousand years? And you also said that he had stolen the demon face."
"We know that he took away the demon face," Zhao Ning said, "but we are actually not sure about the true identities of Yuan Hua and He Jie."
She paused for a moment, then turned to look at them sideways, with a sly smile on her lips, "So, I refused to prove it at that time."
Ji Xiu and Shi Yueze were both stunned. Thinking of Zhao Ning's decisive look at the ceremony, they never thought that Zhao Ning's behavior was... an act of unwarranted arrogance.
Shi Yueze couldn't laugh or cry, "Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning, I suddenly feel that Lin Ying is really you."
Lin Ying's arrogance, majesty and publicity are actually restrained in Zhao Ning's bones, otherwise he wouldn't be so determined.
"Actually, there are still many doubts about this matter."
Zhao Ning continued, "The first is He Jie's Shouyuan. I have met He Jie in Kunxu a long time ago. He was indeed a mining vendor who had just practiced Qi at that time. Later, I also came into contact with him in Yangzhou. After several times, I can clearly feel that as his realm improves, the energy and energy displayed by Shouyuan changes from his twenties to his three hundred years;
The second is He Jie's performance this time. If He Jie has lived for three thousand years, and it has been three thousand years since he got the demon face, why can't he suppress it until three thousand years later? Why did he only start taking action three hundred years ago... …”
Zhao Ning analyzed this, and everyone was silent for a while. Indeed, at the ceremony, various situations aroused everyone's emotions, making it impossible for people to calm down and think about these details.
Now that I think about it, there are indeed loopholes everywhere.
"Grandma," Shang Xia suddenly said hesitantly, "Your analysis makes it seem like He Jie... seems to have traveled through time, from three thousand years ago to three hundred years ago."
Zhao Ning paused and turned to look at Shang Xia. Shang Xia paused and explained in more detail, "Look, this He Jie has been blank for three hundred years, with no demonization or increase in lifespan. Isn’t it just a direct jump of three thousand years?”
After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong again, "But if the ghost face turned into Yuan Hua, his three thousand years would not be completely blank."
"No." Peng Jue suddenly denied, "I have lived for eighteen hundred years and passed by Yangzhou countless times. In fact, I have never seen Yuanhua, and I have no impression of him at all. He should also be among these hundreds of years. It was only in the new year that he suddenly became high-profile."
"Yes." Ji Xiu agreed, "Since the Kunxu Demon Rebellion, if there is a big event in Yangzhou, the Tianyang Immortal Sect will consciously or unconsciously reveal that there is such a big shot in their sect. At first, we still He thought that the news of Ye Feng's death meant that the Tianyang Immortal Sect needed to re-establish its prestige, so he was pushed to the stage. Looking at it this way..."
They looked at each other and said, "He Jie's past three thousand years have really been blank."
"I have been walking in the world of cultivation for three to four hundred years, and I have never heard of such a heaven-defying spell..." Xiang Hongxuan hesitated.
"Don't talk about you in three or four hundred years, I have never heard of such a shocking thing in eighteen hundred years." Peng Jue frowned, "Could it be the effect of his heaven-reaching spiritual treasure?"
At this moment, everyone was silent. This situation for He Jie was far more difficult than imagined.
After a few breaths, Ji Xiu suddenly clapped his hands and shouted to Zhao Ning, "Zhao Ning, senior brother, he is not..."
Zhao Ning turned to look at him, "This is the only possibility."
A hundred years ago, Qin Keyuan returned from Time Ruins, but lost three thousand years of his life in one fell swoop.
Later I found out that he had spent three thousand years in Shixu before returning to Kyushu, but Kyushu had only spent thirty or forty years.
Shixu, a place where time is chaotic. The three thousand years where Uncle Master went are fleeting to Jiuzhou. Could there be other places in Shixu? The three thousand years of Jiuzhou are just a few breaths of time.
"You mean..." Shi Yueze suddenly realized what they were alluding to.
But they stopped talking in the middle of the sentence. Peng Jiao's expressions on their faces became more and more solemn. Only Shang Xia and Xiang Hongxuan didn't know what was going on.
"What riddles are you talking about?" Xiang Hongxuan said with a frown.
Peng Jue said, "It's not a riddle, but it's just not something that can be said casually yet. You will all know after a while. You just need to know that it is indeed possible to travel through three thousand years of time and space."
Shang Xia's eyes widened as this conclusion impacted his worldview that had been perfected for hundreds of years.
He wanted to ask something, but at this moment, Zhao Ning said, "The exit has arrived. Be careful."
The speculation and gossip just now were immediately withdrawn.
Everyone broke out of the foggy space vigilantly, as if they had passed through an invisible obstacle and returned to a place with clear vision. This time, they looked completely different.
All the ground opened and closed into countless cracks, and the cracks glowed with dark purple brilliance. After a while, Yin Qi floated out from the cracks, but soon, there was a suction force from the cracks, which absorbed them all back.
They heard the roar that penetrated the soul from these Yin Qi, and it was not a sound that fell on their ears.
The entire area was shrouded in a bone-chilling coldness. Even though Shang Xia was already in the foundation-building realm, when he first entered this place, he subconsciously crossed his arms and trembled constantly.
Xiang Hongxuan threw a stone to him, and Shang Xia subconsciously went to catch it, but unexpectedly it was extremely hot and he almost threw it.
"Don't throw it away. This is a flint from the ground. It will form a crater when it hits the ground." Xiang Hongxuan scared him.
Zhao Ning suddenly added, "Three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
This sentence seemed to be more effective than Xiang Hongxuan's threat. He quickly shot out a spiritual light, wrapped the underground extremely flint stone, and wrapped it with long sleeves. This way to keep warm, he calmed down a little.
"Why are these Yin Qi so heavy?" He looked at the ground, which was covered with thick frost. "It has already solidified."
His eyes slowly darkened, "Senior Ghosts and Gods actually achieved such a state. He turned this place into hell and used his remaining power to suppress the souls he killed. Is this the saying 'I am not as good as hell, who will go to hell'?" "
"Good sentence." Ji Xiu saw it clearly. After experiencing the Kunxu Demonic Rebellion and Qingxiao's rebirth, he had already developed a calm attitude towards this level. At this moment, he could still praise Shang Xia, but because This kind of penetration made the sadness Shang Xia just mentioned suppressed again.
"Can you detect any abnormal traces?" Zhao Ning asked.
Shi Yueze said, "There seem to be signs of fighting ahead, but I don't know if it's the two Nascent Souls who forced their way in, or He Jie's."
"He should go directly to the main tomb chamber." Shang Xia said, "He is now trapped in the Ghost Tomb and can only control the Ghost Tomb to find a way to escape. However, if he controls the Ghost Tomb, I should be able to sense it .Now, he has not reached the main tomb chamber.”
"It seems he's still nearby." Xiang Hongxuan said, "In that case, we might as well go directly to the main tomb and wait for him."
Zhao Ning agreed and went straight to the main tomb with them.
This is an extremely open area, with skylight at the top and the ground at the feet. The main tomb chamber is the mountain peak visible to the naked eye in front of it.
With Zhao Ning's innate saintly virtue leading the way, everyone did not encounter any harassment from evil spirits.
But they inevitably saw some strange sights. Some Yin Qi would not be taken back by the ground cracks at the first time, but would wander nearby, but when they met.
They strangely discovered that these Yin Qi began to transform into their appearance.
"This...just returned to its original appearance, why are there so many more Zhao Nings?" Shi Yueze said with a headache.
Peng Jue smiled coldly, "Sure enough, the power of the illusory formation is so familiar."
"Illusion formation?" Ji Xiu was puzzled.
Peng Jue explained, "When I was deceived by He Jie to go underground to make the core of the formation, the formation was also the same. They transformed my power into an opponent for those who came."
Peng Jue was sentient. He could clearly see what Zhao Ning was going through at that time, but he controlled the formation and was unable to assist Zhao Ning. At the same time, he also tried to use Zhao Ning to break in and break through the formation.
"This formation is very powerful, do you want to give it a try?" He actually said to Ji Xiu like this.
Ji Xiu was stunned, and then he fanned his hand far away, "Thank you, Senior Peng, there's no need to waste time. It's good that we know we can be powerful."
However, as there were more and more souls around, strange forces seemed to be gathering. In an instant, a soul shadow broke through the barrier of the eternal lamp of innate saintliness.
It pounced on the last Xiang Hongxuan.
"Be careful!" Ji Xiu shouted.
Xiang Hongxuan instantly raised a barrier and kicked out at the same time. The force instantly hurt him. He flew out violently, flying a hundred feet away. He turned around and rolled on the ground, and then Landed on a high rock.
The soul shadow completely took on his appearance, chasing after him and attacking him from behind. Xiang Hongxuan didn't even hide, as if something had taken away his attention.
When the Yin Qi was about to touch him, a sword intent passed across his back, temporarily blocking the Yin Qi's attack, but at the same time, it also caused a sword intent to rush towards them.
"This stuff is really endless."
"This formation is about pitting oneself against oneself. Those who are difficult want to be difficult, and those who are easy want to be easy."
Zhao Ning suddenly reminded, "Shang Xia, set up an isolation formation."
Shang Xia was shocked. This was what he had agreed with him before. Once he found any traces, he would lead the Ghost Tomb Law to hide their presence.
Several people stopped moving and gathered in the direction of Xiang Hongxuan.
Half of the mountain collapsed, and the ruins were rebuilt into new mountains.
On the top of the mountain, there were three people confronting each other. It was He Jie and the two Nascent Souls who broke in.
One of the Nascent Souls shouted sanctimoniously, "He Jie, you are a devil, you have brought trouble to the entire Yangzhou, we will kill you today."
The other Yuanying sneered, "He Jie, you can't escape."
