No wonder You Chi was embarrassed to say that he wanted to find outside cultivators to skin him. Perhaps it was because of knowing this that the outside cultivators took action to annihilate your clan.
"Can the human skin needed for Yulinggu only be used if it's peeled off by a human-faced owl?" Zhou Yang asked.
"It was like this before. Because the skin peeled off by the human-faced owl is moderately thick, and after the human skin is infiltrated by the saliva of the human-faced owl, its flexibility is greatly enhanced and it is not easy to break and can be used for a long time."
"Oh. So can you two subdue the human-faced owl?" This guy's role is not small. If you can subdue one, not only can you help in the battle, but you can also skin people. You don't have to worry about the soul drum being broken and not being replaced in the future. .
"No. This beast is extremely difficult to control. Only the high priest of the Eternal Life Palace can subdue it." You Chi said seriously.
"High priest?"
"Exactly. The high priest is in charge of the Hall of Eternal Life, and he is also the great mystic master. He can control the past life and know the future. His status is higher than that of the great elders of the Council of Presbyterians." When You Chi said this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Yang, who was the person, was keenly aware of this change in You Chi, and his heart was moved.
He has also heard of the name of the Great Mystic Master. All Great Mystic Masters have the ability to predict the future. If the Ming Clan's great priest and Great Mystic Master also predicted this disaster, maybe he and the people in the Palace of Eternal Life could escape. Maybe.
"Let's go." Thinking of this, Zhou Yang also became interested in the Palace of Eternal Life.
The three of them urged their mounts to speed up a bit.
"Isn't that Zhou Yang, the law enforcement captain of Zhou Tianzong? He is also exterminating the remnants of the Ming clan?"
"Otherwise, so what? The cultivators who enter the secret realm now have only one mission, and that is this matter."
"The other two are very unfamiliar."
"Nonsense, there are probably no less than a thousand people from the forces in the two cities plus the Dingbei factions. Can you recognize them all?"
"That's true."
There were cultivators responsible for patrolling along the way, many of whom knew Zhou Yang. Those who spoke at this time were the people they met in Jiuchigou.
When Zhou Yang and the You brothers heard this, they felt relieved a lot.
"You guys find a place to wait for a while. I'll be back as soon as I can." Zhou Yang said a few words and then urged the black wind beast to run towards those people.
"Guys, you're welcome!" Zhou Yang took the initiative to say hello as he approached.
"It turns out to be Captain Zhou. We are very happy to see you again." A cultivator from Sui Ling City's Bo family hugged his fists and said. This person is Bo Hai's subordinate.
There were seventy or eighty people in Chilin at that time, and only half of them escaped in the end.
Now that he saw that Zhou Yang was also safe and sound, and that his cultivation had greatly improved, this man was very surprised, so he said this.
"Both each other. By the way, where is Brother Bohai?"
"He handles things at Wanghai Pavilion."
"Is Wanghai Pavilion the residence of Sui Lingbo's family?" Zhou Yang asked.
"No, Wanghai Pavilion is the place where the eight major forces of Sui Ling City give orders."
"The Xingxu and Dingbeicheng..."
"The headquarters of Xingxu City is at Longyuankou." The man looked a little strange and did not mention Dingbei City, but the other people looked disdainful.
Zhou Yang understood something: Dingbeicheng was not qualified to be compared with Suicheng and Xingxu.
He sighed secretly, and then asked: "Is there no manpower stationed in Kongjue Mountain?"
"Did Captain Zhou not participate in the siege of Kongjue Mountain?" The man frowned, wondering why you don't know anything.
"No."
"No wonder. After we reached the top of the peak, we found that the Eternal Life Hall was empty, so we burned it down. The fire burned for seven days and seven nights before resting."
"Oh, what about the other tribes?" Zhou Yang remained calm, but was surprised in his heart. What shocked him was not the burning of the Palace of Eternal Life, but the great priest's ingenious plan.
"All twelve tribes were slaughtered."
"Um."
The Grand Priest Grand Master is indeed extraordinary, but it is a pity that his skills are not enough, otherwise, the twelve tribes would not have been exterminated.
You Chi and You Qing, who were not far away, also heard these words. Their expressions changed, and their eyes almost wanted to spit fire. However, without Zhou Yang's order, they did not dare to move lightly and could only resist the urge to do anything.
"Brother Zhou, didn't you participate in a single battle?"
"No, no, but I only participated once, once, haha." Zhou Yang laughed.
"Okay, the remnants of the Eternal Life Palace are not easy to deal with. You have to be careful." The man reminded.
"Thanks for letting me know. I'll see you later." Zhou Yang said, cupping his fists.
"See you later."
After following the spiritual cultivator away, Zhou Yang and the others met again.
"You two heard it, what are your plans next?" Zhou Yang said.
"In addition to the great sacrifices, the Eternal Life Hall also has several sacrificial offerings, divine messengers, and guards. If what that person said is true, they should all be fine. This is God's blessing on our family. The spirits of our ancestors are above us. The unworthy descendants thank you for your protection! "
You Chi and You Qing spread their hands flat, raised their heads to the sky, and looked extremely pious.
The people of the Ming Clan have no other beliefs. The only thing they believe in is the ancestors’ spirits. Naturally, the ancestors’ spirits are enshrined in the Hall of Eternal Life. Of course, there is also the talisman of the ancestors.
"Yes, there is a limit to the time that outside cultivators can enter the secret realm. If they can hide until the cultivators are sent out, they will be safe and the life clan can continue. But, are there any female relatives in the Palace of Eternal Life? ?”
Zhou Yang nodded, and suddenly remembered a key question. The twelve branches have been destroyed. If only a bunch of old guys like the Eternal Life Palace and the Presbyterian Church are left, how will they reproduce?
"This..." You Chi's expression began to look unnatural again.
"Both were born from the same mother, how come there is such a big difference in the personalities of these two people?" Zhou Yang was very depressed.
"Sir, of course there are women in the Palace of Eternal Life." You Qing said.
"Oh, can those sacrifices and divine messengers be matched?" This was beyond Zhou Yang's expectation.
As far as he understood, clergy were not allowed to marry in any religious place.
"Of course they cannot get married. Those women must be carefully selected, and they must be chaste girls under the age of sixteen when they enter the palace. They have nothing to do with the adults of the Eternal Life Palace."
"Why would you use such a woman?"
"Of course, in order to serve the ancestral gods, other women are not allowed to enter the Hall of Eternal Life." You Qing said.
"Is it true that you are just serving the ancestral gods? I'm afraid it's to fool outsiders. It seems that You Qing doesn't know much about the situation." Zhou Yang thought to himself.
"Oh, I understand." Zhou Yang asked no more questions.
Although he has no experience in human affairs, he has rich experience, and he has heard about these deceptions.
You Chi didn't want to say anything at this time, and it was hard for him to ask too many questions. He just had to know clearly.
You Chi just listened and didn't say much, but he didn't think Zhou Yang would believe You Qing's words.
Although this gentleman is young, he must have a lot of experience. Naturally, his scheming is not comparable to that of You Qing, and even he himself cannot figure him out.
After You Qing finished speaking, You Chi said in a low voice: "Sir, the front is already the Qiren Mountain range, where the Qiren tribe's residence is. Alas, after we bury the Qilen tribe, we will Let’s hit the road.”
"Well, let's go to Qiren Mountain first. From now on, whenever anyone asks, the three of us will say that we were ordered to come here for inspection. In addition, you have also been with me for a while, so it's time to learn the current language."
"I respect your orders."
"Walk."
Qiren Mountain is less than two thousand miles away from Kongjue Mountain, and it is the place where the Qiren tribe has lived.
The Qi tribe has only a hundred members, but the proportion of Tianyuan cultivators is extremely high, even among the twelve branches. However, the number of people has never flourished.
The Qi people tribe and the Youlin tribe did not have much contact, and there were some conflicts. The reason was that they were competing for a place to enter the Presbyterian Church. For this reason, the two tribes even turned their swords against each other, but in the end they fell into each other's family, and both sides fell apart. It’s a thankless effort.
The chief of the Qi people tribe is named Qi Sihai. He has two sons and one daughter. They all know You Chi and You Qing.
Regardless of whether they have grudges or grievances, they are all members of the same race connected by blood. If a member of the same race suffered a disaster and ended up here again, of course they would have to take care of their funeral affairs.
Going up to Qiren Mountain, there was another tragic and tragic scene. The houses were still intact, but corpses were everywhere.
Nearly a hundred people from the Qi tribe were killed, including the elderly, weak, women and children, but outside cultivators also left dozens of corpses behind.
The corpses were piled together by the two brothers, and Zhou Yang burned them all with black fire. The identity tokens from their waists were also torn off and distributed to You Chi and You Qing.
When burying the bones of the Qi tribe members, You Chi paid special attention to search for Qi Sihai's body. In the end, not only his body was not found, but his two sons and one daughter were not found either.
"Did their family escape?" You Chi asked doubtfully.
"This little old man Qi Sihai has a very big fate!" You Qing also said.
"Maybe he escaped, maybe he was caught, or maybe he was killed, just like my black fire, burned to ashes. But the possibility of being caught is not very high." Zhou Yang analyzed road.
"Then the possibility of being killed is very high?" You Qing said.
"Same as the probability of escaping, outside cultivators kill many people and may not leave corpses behind."
"Indeed." You Chi nodded.
"No matter what, I hope their family is safe."
"Hey, isn't this a destiny talisman? The mark of divine consciousness left in it...is not Qi Sihai's!"
On the way down the mountain, You Chi accidentally discovered a dark thing in the grass. After a closer look, it turned out to be a life talisman.
"Sure enough, it's a destiny talisman! The Qi tribe actually still has this thing?" You Qing took it and looked at it carefully, then wiped off the dirt and blood on the surface, and said in surprise.
"Let me take a look." Zhou Yang took the life talisman from You Qing's hand, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, recited the formula, and used the unique method of the life clan to check it, and sure enough he found that there was something else inside.
This black stone is only about the size of an egg, its surface is similar in color to dead iron, and it has array patterns engraved on its inside. It is unknown what its purpose is.
However, the formation pattern of this destiny talisman is not as exquisite and complicated as Zhou Yang's. From this, we can see the difference between the two.
"You said this thing is not owned by Qi Sihai?" Zhou Yang asked Xiang Youchi.
"Qi Sihai has fought against the leader of our tribe, and I can still identify his aura. Since this thing does not have his aura, it cannot belong to anyone in the Qi tribe."
