Lu Yuan said sternly: "I'm not scaring you. Little sister, I have some demon blood in my body."
"Really?!" Hua Shang was so shocked that she opened her mouth slightly.
"Yeah. That's why I said that."
"Hehe, wouldn't we be a perfect match? I'm a monster too."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. How long does it take to get to Lingquan Sect?"
Hua Shang took a look with the help of Lu Yuan's vision: "It's almost half a day away."...
Lingquan Sect is located in the east of Hengzhou. Although the entire Hengzhou is barren, Lingquan Sect is located in a beautiful valley.
The mysterious energy here is relatively strong, far away from the world, but it is also a good place to cultivate the mysterious and spiritual.
Hua Shang comes out of the ring and switches to monster form.
Seeing everything familiar, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Eighty years later, she never thought she would come back.
After turning into a ghost, her profound strength could not support her to fly out of Nanming. If Lu Yuan hadn't brought her out, Hua Shang would have been bound to that desert island forever.
She pointed to the mountain peak floating in the air in the distance: "That is Lingquan Peak, the main peak of our Lingquan Sect. There is a spring on the mountain called Houying Spring. The spring water has a strong healing effect and can also improve the cultivation of those who drink it. That’s why we call it Lingquan Sect.”
Lu Yuan nodded: "It takes good mountains and good water to raise a beautiful girl like you."
This was a careless remark, but when it was heard in Huashang's ears, it made her feel extremely sweet.
Her face instantly turned red.
Lu Yuan kept staring at Lingquan Peak and didn't notice her changes: "So, your sect leader should live up there?"
"Yes! Our sect leader's name is Xie Jinxuan, he is such a nice person! Let's go in quietly and tell him the truth. He will definitely make the decision for us!"
"Eighty years have passed, is he still there?"
"He was over eighty years old when I left. Because he was a sixth-level ghost emperor, his lifespan was about 300 years old. After eighty years, he would only be over 160 years old. As long as he didn't die in battle, he should still be there."
"I hope the old man is still alive." Lu Yuan whispered.
He looked at Hua Shang and asked, "Have you not forgotten the plan we discussed a few days ago?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Let's take a look. Plans can never keep up with changes, so be smart when you go in. In short, if you are in danger, you should change into a ghost form and hide in my ring. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Hua Shang once told him that the sect was full of spell formations to dispel ghosts, and the only way for ghosts to enter was to disperse.
So hiding in the ring is safest.
After entering Rong Ring, Lu Yuan allowed her to connect with his mind and borrow his vision, so although she was in Rong Ring, she actually had a very clear understanding of the outside world.
They waited until late at night before taking action.
Eighty years have passed, and the general structure of the sect has not changed much. Only some small areas have been transformed.
So Hua Shang, who was familiar with the situation, took Lu Yuan quietly and flew towards the main peak.
Originally, they planned to ask the sect leader Xie Jinxuan directly as ordinary people, but if they did so, they would most likely be informed by senior brother Chen Yi.
And if they met as the leader of the Juxian Alliance, they would not know Xie Jinxuan's current attitude towards Ning and Shi from the north. If they were of the same species, then Lu Yuan would be throwing himself into a trap.
No matter which identity you enter directly, you will be alerted.
Therefore, they had discussed it beforehand and entered secretly.
They carefully bypassed many sentries and detection circles.
Some magic circles were added after Hua Shang left. But in front of Lu Yuan's powerful spiritual consciousness at the early stage of the third level, they were useless.
The peak protectors were all left behind, and it was easier for them to reach the foot of the main peak.
"Brother Lu, there are a lot of detection arrays on the main peak. Flying is too conspicuous. Let's run up there."
"Okay! The magic circle on the ground is better than
Aerial magic circles are easier to spot. Although our progress is slower, it is better to be steady. "
After walking in hiding for about an hour, the two of them had arrived outside the sect master's mansion.
This is a five-story building, elegant and refined. There is a gourd hanging on the lintel of the gate.
There are more defensive formations here than elsewhere, so it is really difficult to force your way in!
Eighty years ago, Hua Shang received the teachings of the sect leader here. Because of her outstanding talent, the sect leader favored her.
The sect leader gave her a lot of facilities for cultivation, so she broke through to the fourth level at a young age. This caused a great sensation at the time.
For a time, the beautiful girl from Lingquan Sect who broke through to the fourth level at the age of sixteen became the dream lover of many male monks.
If I can see the sect master later, I will definitely tell him what happened in detail!
It's just that you were a human when you left and a ghost when you came back!
Thinking of this, Hua Shang felt overwhelmed.
Lu Yuan felt the huge ups and downs in her heart and immediately comforted her with his soul.
"Brother Lu, can you sense the people inside?"
"If a sixth-level monk has a very high spiritual realm, I can only see a blurry image. Let's give it a try."
Lu Yuan found a relatively safe place, closed his eyes and released his consciousness.
He did not expand the scanning area, but concentrated on the tall building.
There is none on the first floor, nor on the second floor...
Scan all the way to the fifth floor.
He found a middle-aged man about fifty years old sleeping soundly in the inner room.
Or maybe he was on retreat.
The man had a square face, deep eyes, and a short gray beard. He looked somewhat compassionate.
Lu Yuan showed this image to Hua Shang.
"Is this your sect master?"
"..."
"Hua Shang?"
She remained silent.
"Why aren't you talking?" Lu Yuan was very confused.
"Brother...he...he is not our sect master."
Lu Yuan suddenly became alert: "Is it that..."
"Well! Senior Brother Chen Yi!"
"How did he become the sect leader?!"
Hua Shang said bitterly: "This man is sinister and vicious, with a knife hidden in his smile! After he killed me and Junior Brother Wu, he must have flattered the sect leader and deceived his trust!"
"What about the previous Sect Leader Xie?"
"I don't know... so many years have passed, there have been too many changes. Can you tell his level of cultivation?"
"Sixth level and nine stars, step into the seventh level in half a step."
"This beast is really lucky. He was only at the third level and eight stars back then! Logically speaking, he wouldn't have risen so quickly."
Eighty years, rising from the late third level to the late sixth level, is not particularly fast. So Lu Yuan asked:
"This speed is so-so, so that's okay. Why do you say he leveled up quickly?"
Hua Shang said: "Brother Lu, you don't know something. Chen Yi's talent is not good at all, and later he secretly took the wrong elixir, so his practice was very slow. The sect leader calculated his longevity in private, and it was obvious that he You cannot break through to the sixth level before your life span is exhausted."
"There must be some magical encounter. However, no matter what level he is now, I must kill him!"
Hua Shang hesitated: "But there is such a huge gap in cultivation between us and him, how can we eradicate him?"
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Do you know Chen Yi's weaknesses?"
"Weaknesses?" Hua Shang was slightly surprised, "Except for his weak bones, I haven't observed him carefully."
"I just checked around him, and I didn't dare to stay too long for fear of arousing his alertness. I vaguely felt..."
He paused and asked, "What technique does he major in?"
"What I knew before was that he practiced two techniques. They were both used to strengthen spiritual consciousness and eliminate ghosts."
"Strengthening spiritual consciousness..."
Lu Yuan looked at the stars in the sky and said, "That's not right. Did I make a mistake?"
"What's wrong?"
"You just said that it was originally impossible for him to break through to the sixth level. Now he is the sixth level and nine stars. I also said before that he must have a great chance. Hmm... I really want to understand."
Hua Shang was as anxious as a little fox, almost chasing her own tail.
"What are you talking about? Brother Lu."
Lu Yuan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have such an idea..."
Lu Yuan told Hua Shang his method in detail.
She was dubious and worried: "Is it too risky? If it fails, Brother Lu, you..."
Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said: "Sometimes taking risks is worth it. If you do everything without thinking about the risks, nothing will be accomplished."
"Hehe, your words make sense. I am so stupid with my mouth. From now on, I will be next to you every day and learn how to speak from you."
"Oh, then I have an extra little parrot? Haha!"
Lu Yuan's joke diluted the solemn atmosphere before the action.
To be honest, he himself didn't completely know whether this judgment was right or wrong!
He took a deep breath and fully opened his consciousness. The detection range suddenly expanded to a radius of thirty feet.
Although it was late at night, under the magical power of Qilin's True Eye, everything around him seemed to be in daylight.
Coupled with his high level of spiritual cultivation, he is able to see through all defensive formations.
"Hua Shang, didn't you say there is a particularly powerful defensive circle here? Why didn't I see it? Is it hidden very deeply?"
Lu Yuan asked her in his heart.
You must be careful when entering the tiger's den alone, otherwise you will encounter the magic circle before you take action, and you will never be able to escape.
Hua Shang's spiritual consciousness is connected with Lu Yuan. She looked around carefully twice and couldn't help but said "Huh":
"It's strange, why are all these magic circles visible?"
"We'd better be cautious!"
"good!"
Lu Yuan carefully passed through these magic circles and flew to the fifth floor. He had been worried about encountering a strong restriction during the flight, but in the end he didn't encounter it until he reached the top of the fifth floor.
"It won't come up so easily. This is definitely a trap!" Lu Yuan said to Hua Shang.
"I remember that the strongest restriction we have ever used requires a late second-order spiritual realm to be able to sense it. But a late second-order spiritual realm can only be experienced by a seventh-order monk!" Hua Shang said suddenly.
"What? The spiritual realm in the late second level?"
"Well! Brother Lu, is your spiritual realm not high enough for this level? I haven't asked you yet. I just feel that your spiritual realm is higher than the monks I have seen. Don't force yourself."
"Why are you forcing yourself? I've already flown to the roof." Lu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be such a simple thing!
