It wasn't until Fan Yan left with many of the Five Spirits disciples that Qian Chao and the other five started their own affairs.
It was naturally bright at this time. Yesterday, the valley here was full of turbulent water waves, and it was extremely lively and intense. Now, after one night, it was all clear. Compared with yesterday's bustle, the people in Hanquan Valley were very quiet. Water is the last to leave. When Qian Chao woke up in the middle of the night, he found that half of the water in the valley was still rippling under the starlight. Looking at it again at dawn, the valley has almost returned to its previous appearance, with a thin layer of yellow at the bottom of the valley. The sand revealed large and small black sea eyes. Of course, after yesterday's big tide, the cold air still existed in the valley. When the five people flew through the upper part of Hanquan Valley, they still felt the cold air.
What Qian Chao had to do was to take out the things that had been arranged here a few days ago and destroy them. Under his leadership, the five people came to a huge rock first with familiarity.
"here."
Qian Chao pointed out that it was Lu Pingchuan who lifted the boulder a few days ago and arranged it with his own hands. Lu Pingchuan rubbed his hands and dug at the bottom of the boulder. Then he lifted it hard and the "crunching" stone was crushed. In the sound of his voice, he gently pried up the boulder. Then Qian Chao bent down to look for it, and found something from under the boulder.
It was something like a square, thick piece of iron, with an ordinary rust color on it, but the iron piece was covered with gleaming runes.
"Look." Qian Chao looked at it curiously, then motioned Lu Pingchuan to put down the big stone, and showed the iron sheets in his hands to several companions. "It turns out that when they were placed here, these runes did not have this layer of light. It looked like I don’t know how many souls of dead monsters have been sealed in this formation.”
This piece of iron is Qian Chao's arrangement for the possibility of evil beasts appearing in Hanquan Valley. The material of the iron piece is patterned iron. Qian Chao has engraved a formation with runes on it that can powerfully absorb and seal souls. In this way, A considerable number of the souls of the monster beasts that died near Cold Spring Valley yesterday were sealed by this iron piece, so that they would not be absorbed by the evil beasts that might appear. However, Qian Chao did not expect Wen Liang's arrangement at first. It's not an evil beast, it's just Dusha.
Several people came over to take a closer look. Tang Ping looked at it and asked curiously:
"This flash means there is a soul inside?"
"That's right, and there are a lot of souls sealed inside, Brother Li," Qian Chao said to Li Jian again, "You can't keep this thing. Brother Li's sword is so sharp that if you cut it open with one sword, it will also destroy the thing inside." His soul was released."
"good."
Li Jian responded, took the iron piece from Qian Chao's hand, and tossed it gently. Before the iron piece landed, a blazing white sword light slashed through the center of the iron piece. When the sword light passed, the iron piece It seemed to be completely unaffected and continued to fall. It split into two halves when it hit the ground. Suddenly, a burst of black mist rose up, and then dispersed in all directions.
When the black mist rose up, it almost enveloped the five of them, and it came so suddenly that it was really unprepared.
"Hey!" Lu Pingchuan was startled and immediately pulled back his posture, thinking something was going to happen.
"Don't be afraid. Without the formation, these beast souls can't hurt anyone."
As he spoke, Qian Chao stretched out his hand to take the two halves of the iron piece on the ground, knocked it twice, and then put it away.
"Are you so stingy that you want to take this thing back?" Tang Ping asked.
"Of course I have to take it back. Do you know what the material is? Grain iron. I don't have much grain iron. Of course I have to take it back."
Hearing what he said, Tang Ping reached out and grabbed half of it, looked at it, and returned it to Qian Chao after seeing nothing good about it.
Then the five people naturally went to look for the next similar iron piece. There were about thirty iron pieces with soul-locking formations arranged by Qian Chao just now, and they were all arranged by Qian Chao here in Hanquan Valley. .
The reason why Qian Chao had to wait until Fan Yan and others left to do this was because he had his own concerns. Broadly speaking, this soul-sealing formation is still a forbidden technique. To put it more strictly, this method There is no doubt that there is a proper sorcery. Even if Qian Chao uses this method to destroy Wen Liang's arrangement and protect the Five Spirits disciples here, he is still a low-level, low-key disciple in the Five Spirits Sect. It's not a good thing to know that he can use such means. Don't forget, he only recently learned that there was a torturer in the inner hall of Chengqi Hall. Like him, he also entered the inner hall of Chengqi Hall during the weapon refining stage. However, he was expelled from the inner hall because he used this method to refine evil weapons. He is now wandering outside like a ghost, living a sneaky and hidden life. Now Qian Chao is also in the Chengqi Hall. My cousin is somewhat famous among the Qi Refining disciples for his weapon refining skills. If his method of almost evil magic is leaked, it will inevitably bring trouble to him. Maybe he doesn't care what others think, but inside How the Tang brothers and elders thought about it was the most nervous thing for him. Therefore, Qian Chao simply waited until Fan Yi and others left before quietly destroying all the formations.
In addition, when he arranged these things a few days ago, Qian Chao noticed a look of worry in Tang Ping's eyes. He was naturally aware of this. He understood that Tang Ping had been worried that she would go the wrong way. , used this innate wisdom on the wrong path. Because of this, he had to take out all the arranged things one by one and destroy them, so as to reassure his companions.
"Last night you said that Senior Brother Fan finally used a paper umbrella to get rid of that guy. What does that paper umbrella look like?"
Qian Chao asked Tang Ping during the flight. That umbrella has become Qian Chao's biggest curiosity since Tang Ping told him about it.
"It's just..." Tang Ping was stunned for a moment, "It's just an ordinary paper umbrella. Well, it looks very unique. When the umbrella is held up, there are ink and brush paintings on it... Is it a landscape or a figure? I don't know. I paid too much attention to it, and when Brother Fan took it out, it started to glow. The light was so strong that it was impossible to see clearly."
Yanxuan did not fall into a coma yesterday. She and Tang Ping were together at that time. After listening to Qian Chao's words, she thought about it and said:
"Well... I have some impression. It seems that there is a landscape painting on the umbrella. As soon as Senior Brother Fan opens the umbrella, there is a burst of light... After that, the umbrella surface is just white. Oh, I mean Senior Brother Fan. When I finally put the umbrella away, the surface of the umbrella was completely blank and nothing was missing."
"Well, yes, I remember this. After Senior Brother Fan used the umbrella, his whole body seemed to lose strength. He almost fell there and even vomited blood!"
"Oh?" Hearing this made Qian Chao's heart flutter again, but thinking about it again, it should be the same. Even if his folding fan made of sparrow feathers, with his current cultivation level, he can open it with three feathers at full strength. After depleting most of his spiritual energy, the umbrella must have put a greater burden on people when used, so that's why Brother Fan did this.
"Senior Brother Fan had taken out that umbrella before Brother Qian killed Du Sha." Li Jian said suddenly.
"Oh, when is it?" Qian Chao asked.
"Well... when Du Sha rushed out of Brother Qian's formation and was about to rush down to attack Yan Shuang, that's when I noticed the umbrella in the hand of Senior Brother Fan."
At that time, Li Jian noticed a huge force coming from the crowd below and took a quick look. What he saw was a paper umbrella in Fan Yan's hand. At that time, he was still a little confused. Now that he thought about it, even if Du Sha did not die under Qian Chao's eight-foot feather fan. Even if he could keep rushing towards Yan Shuang, he would definitely die under the power of that paper umbrella.
"It seems that the sect has made very thorough preparations this time. What we saw was the paper umbrella and the horn used to deal with the giant octopus. In addition, I don't know what else was taken. It came out but was of no use.”
"Well, it's said that these are all borrowed from your Chengqi Hall. It's strange to say that I often see you refining weapons in Chengqi Hall. The guys there are all ordinary. I didn't expect that there is still one in Chengqi Hall. There are so many great things!" Tang Ping sighed.
"Of course, but don't think that the Chengqi Hall is just a place where a bunch of Qi refining disciples refine spiritual weapons and sell them to earn spiritual stones. The mysteries inside are endless. Don't forget, our Five Spirit Sect has two halls. , one is Chengqi Hall and the other is Nanyu Hall, they are all famous in the entire cultivation world."
After hearing this, Yanxuan became a little curious. Nan Yutang was her alchemy place. Even after going there many times, she didn't think there was anything mysterious there. She couldn't help but said, "Oh, is Nan Yutang so famous?" ?”
"That's natural!"
…
"Brother Wen, what are we looking at?"
Yin Kuang followed Wen Liang to a place with a wide view. He didn't know where to look, so he turned to ask Wen Liang beside him.
"No rush, just follow me."
As Wen Liang spoke, he led Yin Kuang to a person, but did not introduce him to Yin Kuang, but just asked:
"Where is that kid now?"
That man was Xing Rang. When he saw Wen Liang approaching, he raised his hand and said:
"Hey, it's right there. Hey, I didn't know it until I saw it, but now I understand it. We had some arrangements before, but we didn't expect that boy to be there too. There are quite a few!"
Yin Kuang also looked in the direction of Xing Rang's finger. Sure enough, he saw five people flying all the way in Hanquan Valley. Then he saw those five people falling down. He didn't know what they were tinkering with for a while, and then there was a sword. Light, and then a huge black smoke rose into the sky and gradually disappeared. Then the five people continued, and every time they followed them, there would be a burst of black smoke coming out.
Yin Kuang didn't quite understand what Wen Liang had done in Hanquan Valley. Although he saw the black mist rising, he didn't understand what was going on, so he was a little confused. Naturally, he saw the five people. Among them was Qian Chao, who was targeted by the Tian family, but he didn't know what Qian Chao was doing, and he didn't understand why he could conclude that Qian Chao would be the Tian family's enemy based on this, so he looked at it in confusion. Gentle.
It was only when Wen Liang saw the confusion in Yin Kuang's eyes that he put aside his last suspicion about Yin Kuang. He understood that Yin Kuang was not deeply involved in what happened yesterday, so he smiled and said to him:
"Brother Yin, do you know what Qian Chao is doing now?"
"I don't know."
"Well, well, since we failed yesterday, I won't hide anything from Brother Yin. Alas, in order to kill Yan Shuang, we planned to arrange evil beasts here..."
"What!"
Hearing the word "evil beast", Yin Kuang was suddenly shocked. He had expected that Wen Liang's method of dealing with Yan Shuang would be vicious, but he never thought that this person would use an evil beast to deal with Yan Shuang.
"Haha, Brother Yin, you probably watched it from beginning to end yesterday. You should know that we didn't use the evil beast in the end, because we had a better choice before yesterday's tide came. Well, there was a man named Du The boy from Sha took the initiative to find us and was willing to be used by us, so we used the method of arranging evil beasts on him. It was also a test of our magic. If it worked, then But it is much more powerful than the evil beast. For this reason, my brother Xing also taught him some 'blood skills'..."
The so-called "blood magic" is what people who practice black magic call the black magic they practice.
"Dusa..." Yin Kuang had vaguely heard of this name in the sect. It seemed that he was a guy who had bad luck and betrayed his relatives. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he learned a lot of evil skills from there, and then worked outside the sect. He started a killing spree and killed almost all his former enemies.
"But that method, after all, requires a lot of souls to be effective, and this cold spring valley tide is a good opportunity for monsters and beasts to fight each other, and monks and monsters to fight. There will definitely be enough souls available, and that's right. We were careless and thought we could put Yan Shuang to death with just Du Sha. Unfortunately, we calculated countless times and still missed a money wave. Hey, Brother Yin, look at that kid everywhere he goes. There is black smoke rising, do you know what that is?"
"That's a soul...but...!"
Hearing this, Yin Kuang probably inferred that it was Qian Chao who cracked Wen Liang's killer move arranged in advance, but... how is this possible!
In addition to knowing the magic, you also need to be proficient in formations.
Qian Chao will arrange some formations. Wen Liang told Yin Kuang after seeing the tragic scene of Gui Su's defeat at the hands of Qian Chao last time, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, and Yin Kuang didn't take it to heart. Looking back now, the bursts of black smoke rise and disappear from time to time. If you are not proficient in the formation, how can Wen Liang's arrangement fail?
"Brother Yin must be curious about how that kid did it, right? I'm not curious anymore. I won't be surprised if anything weird happens to that kid. Alas, it's probably because we were planning to use evil beasts before. At that time, he discovered one or more of the several arrangements for the Cold Spring Valley. This made Qian Chao suspicious, so he made his own arrangement for the evil beast. In fact, it was more than that. Yesterday, Maybe Brother Yin didn't fully understand that the tricks we used on Du Sha were not only this one, but also the other method was to use the changes in the aura of heaven and earth here to strengthen Du Sha. As a result, Du Sha was trapped in the money tide. He couldn't even move in the formation. Huh, in the end we had no choice but to activate the final arrangement on Du Sha. It was a way of killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the egg. Du Sha would die after that. We just asked him to kill him before he died. Yan Shuang, but in the end, although Du Sha escaped from Qian Chao's formation, he still died at the hands of Qian Chao. Brother Yin must have seen this. At least half of our failure this time It’s thanks to the money tide!”
"But..." Yin Kuang was stunned. He did see something yesterday, but firstly, it was a bit far away. Secondly, he was focused on staring at Tie Qiu and Zhang Wuniang, so he didn't see it at that time. I didn't pay attention to it, but now after listening to Wen Liangyi's words, I realized that Qian Chao's behavior was indeed incredible.
"Listen to me slowly, Brother Yin, I said before that this money tide will definitely be the Tian family's formidable enemy in the future. I know what Brother Yin doesn't understand. To break our arrangement, we must use the art of formation." , and Qian Chao didn’t even have a disciple in the sect, where did he learn the art of formation? Brother Yin must be referring to this, I don’t know about this, brother Yin can slowly ask around in your sect, but You see now, what Qian Chao is doing now is destroying the formation he arranged, but this is unmistakable. The formation he arranged must be a powerful formation that competed with Du Sha for the soul here, so Du Sha Something was wrong with Sha from the moment he came out, and he could only exert half of the power we expected. Unfortunately, he was still stubborn, and he was killed by Qian Chao in the end."
"Of course, Qian Chao is not the only one. I also underestimated the Wuling Sect. I didn't expect that the Wuling Sect was well prepared this time. Later, when we dealt with the giant octopus that we seduced, we actually used the 'Eighteen-tone' horn array. Fa, hum, from this point of view, yesterday's great tide in Hanquan Valley was doomed to fail from the beginning, but the only thing I didn't expect was our layout... almost half of them were ruined in the hands of Qian Tide..."
"Brother Yin, the first time those people dealt with Yan Shuang a while ago was not planned by me. That time you also saw Gui Su injured in Qian Chao's hands. That was an extremely powerful talisman technique. I told you at that time However, if the Tian family wanted to kill this Qian Chao, they would have to pay a higher price, otherwise I would not do it. Later, the Tian family refused, so they gave up. Although the Qian Chao ruined my business yesterday, It didn't have any impact on me in the end, because Yan Shuang's death didn't have any special benefits for me, but it was different for the Tian family. As I said about Gui Su, this Qian Chao and that Tang He has a lot of connections with Ping, so Tang Bonian can be regarded as half of his backer, and what happened yesterday showed that Qian Chao is also proficient in formations. The most worrying thing is that his planning power is almost prophetic. , I don’t understand how he can judge that something like an evil beast will come out to deal with Yan Shuang here, haha, but these are all for Brother Yin to listen to, and then, Brother Yin can tell the Tian family that if Qian Chao is left alone When it grows up and builds its foundation in the future, it will definitely become the Tian family’s formidable enemy!”
"Of course you can say nothing..." At this point, Wen Liang glanced at Yin Kuang with a smile, "I know that Brother Yin is only focused on building the foundation now, but I heard that Brother Yin still has some issues with Qian Chao after all. , this elder of Qian Chao was also a disciple of Wuling. It was because of Brother Yin that he was seriously injured. In the end, he was unable to practice and had to return to Qian's family. Don't worry, Brother Yin doesn't have to look at me like this. How could I deal with such a thing? Qian Chao mentioned it, but with that kid's cleverness, if he knew about it, hehe, he would probably get back his old debt from Brother Yin..."
"Okay, I'll go tell you..."
Yin Kuang has been persuaded by Wen Liang. If Qian Chao knew what happened in the past, he would definitely not let him go. However, Yin Kuang himself was unwilling to take the risk of offending Tang Ping and then offending Tang Bonian himself. Therefore, I made up my mind to let the Tian family contribute to get rid of the money tide!
"This Qian Chao is indeed the Tian family's formidable enemy and cannot be kept...!"
After hearing this, the smile on Wen Liang's face grew wider.
