It's quiet at night.
There was silence in the Lord's Mansion of Luoxuan City.
The new city lord was so quiet that neither the maids nor the servants dared to step into the inner courtyard without being summoned.
The yard was quiet.
An old locust tree stood there, with lush branches and leaves. The moonlight fell on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves, leaving little spots of light.
Zhang Yunjing stood under the tree with his hands behind his back.
This is not the first time he has come to this city lord's mansion.
In the past, when Taixuan Sect was still there, as an inner disciple, he often went out on missions to slay demons.
At that time, he often lived in the city lord's mansion.
In this inner courtyard, there are several unique houses.
It is specially reserved for some important figures in Taixuan Sect.
No one else is qualified to live in.
The one to the north belongs to Shen Lie alone.
Although Zhang Yunjing is also one of the top three in the Taixuan Sect's true inheritance list.
But in the eyes of the world.
Shen Lie is Shen Lie.
The true biography of Taixuanmen is the true biography of Taixuanmen!
The two are definitely not the same thing!
Now, Shen Lie has become a bereaved dog and is hiding in Tibet. Naturally, he can no longer live in that house.
Zhang Yunjing stayed there for one night on his first day as the city lord.
Means nothing!
It made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he couldn't even sit down and meditate.
So he ordered it to be turned into a doghouse, and now it looks much more pleasing to the eye.
But unpleasant things still happen from time to time.
The major immortal sects sent countless elites to search for Shen Lie throughout the Jiang Kingdom, but they were still unable to catch him!
Still, that's not so bad.
After all, he was certain that Shen Lie would never be able to achieve anything great.
In that battle, Shen Lie was seriously injured.
Maybe the level will fall if not good.
There is nothing to threaten him.
What bothered him the most.
It’s that outer disciple named Wang Xiu!
Ever since that day, at the place where Liu Mang died tragically, he discovered the fluctuations left by the Return to the Sun Sword Technique between heaven and earth, and he determined...
His brother's death must be related to him!
He uses connections.
All information on Wang Xiu was investigated.
After reading it, I couldn't help but frowned.
too easy!
Too simple!
As an orphan since childhood, he was met by a disciple who was patrolling down the mountain. He found that there was a spiritual root in his body, so he picked it up.
He stayed in Taixuanmen for more than ten years.
I have been farming on that small barren mountain and have never touched it.
The advancement of cultivation is not fast either.
He is just an outer disciple with no background, no secrets, and ordinary qualifications.
Apart from farming, he hardly goes anywhere every day.
He didn't even take on an outing mission once!
However, just such a person actually quietly laid the foundation under the eyes of countless powerful people in Taixuan Sect!
And it is obviously not ordinary foundation building.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill Liu Mang of Jiuyou Immortal Sect so quickly and neatly!
Then, he completely disappeared from the world.
It was as if this person had never existed in the world.
Even if all the power of the Zhang family was used, and even if Zhang Yunjing took advantage of this huge achievement and changed the family's Jindan ancestor to take action, he was still unable to capture the movement of that person.
This is so weird.
Even if he is as cunning as Shen Lie, he can occasionally be caught in these years.
But Wang Xiu seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
This person is like a fog.
Every time Zhang Yunjing thinks of it, he can't help but feel a strong sense of vigilance in his heart.
He betrayed his demonic blood oath and suffered backlash.
Not only will it be difficult to improve your cultivation in the future.
Later, it became even harder for him to meditate. As soon as he closed his eyes, all kinds of disturbing thoughts would sweep over him, almost drowning him.
Therefore, naturally there is no need to meditate and practice like other monks.
But even when I sleep, I am often awakened by nightmares.
The content of the dream was either that Shen Lie came to him for revenge, or that Wang Xiu came to kill him to avoid future troubles.
He had had this dream for almost a year.
So, he simply stopped sleeping and stood under the tree every night until dawn.
Gradually it became a habit.
…
Tonight seems to be getting very long.
Even the cool night breeze made people feel tormented.
Zhang Yunjing suddenly looked somewhere under the tree.
In the shadow under the locust tree, something suddenly jumped.
A chill suddenly passed under the trees.
It made his hair stand up slightly.
Zhang Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, reacted quickly, and released several seals in the blink of an eye.
Rays of light appeared out of thin air in the yard.
Dispelled all darkness.
Those runes soared into the sky and connected continuously, turning into a large cage formation.
In the center of the formation is a figure holding a sword.
"There are many people who want me dead! But you are the only one who breaks in so blatantly!"
Zhang Yunjing's voice was very calm.
This is where he lives every day. Although it is not guarded, it is definitely heavily defended.
Just the formation here.
It is enough to make it difficult for ordinary foundation-building monks to break free.
Then match it with your own strength.
Even if the cultivators of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment came to attack, Zhang Yunjing was confident that he would be able to drag the other masters from the city lord's palace to arrive.
The man still lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhang Yunjing glanced at his sword-holding hand and said, "This way of holding the sword... Are you a disciple of Taixuan Sect? What's your name?"
Being able to break in here quietly shows that you are good at it!
I also know quite a few disciples of the inner sect of Taixuan Sect, maybe we have met before! "
The man still didn't speak.
Zhang Yunjing frowned slightly, and his consciousness spread out, taking in the man's appearance in his mind.
In an instant.
His pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat: "Shen Lie? You're actually here?"
There was a huge wave of emotion in his mind.
It also caused ripples in the surrounding formations.
"Shen Lie" in the formation lowered his eyes and took out a talisman bead from the storage bag. After observing it for a while, he stared at a certain place in the formation: "Found it!"
Canglang!
A sword roar!
The crimson sword light shot out from his body, emitting unimaginable sharpness and striking at the fluctuations of the formation.
The power of this sword is astonishingly powerful.
The originally complete formation was torn open in an instant.
That unparalleled killing intent and sharpness poured out and locked onto Zhang Yunjing.
"This sword intention... is wrong, you are not Shen Lie!"
Zhang Yunjing's expression changed rapidly.
After all, he was a strong man in the late stage of foundation building and had seen many storms. Although his Taoist heart was unstable due to inner demons and could easily fluctuate, he still stabilized quickly.
He was too familiar with Shen Lie's sword.
"who are you??"
The man didn't say anything. He took out an exquisite talisman and tore it open.
soon.
A blue barrier expanded instantly.
It enveloped this small courtyard.
All movement and energy were blocked.
"Second-grade high-grade air-forbidden talisman?"
Zhang Yunjing's eyes were full of solemnity.
This talisman can seal a void. Before the power of the talisman is exhausted, unless the person who casts the spell takes the initiative to remove it, any movement that occurs in it will not be transmitted to the outside.
No one can leave!
This talisman is extremely expensive. Even if it is an ordinary foundation building overhaul, using this talisman will consume several years of accumulation!
"It seems that you are determined to kill me? Are there any grudges between you and me?"
Zhang Yunjing stared at that person, as if he wanted to see through the true face beneath that "Shen Lie" face!
I even want to delay it for a few minutes.
Because he couldn't see through the cultivation level of the person in front of him. He probably used some magic weapon to cover his aura, and he couldn't judge his strength.
I only know that the other party is prepared, but I don’t know what tricks are hidden.
It is not Zhang Yunjing's style to blindly fight to the death with the opponent.
However.
"Shen Lie" in front of him had no intention of continuing.
He stared at Zhang Yunjing coldly, as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Xuanhuang changes!"
Boom!
In an instant.
There was a loud explosion in the courtyard.
An indescribable aura of terror filled the air.
A burst of extremely strong mysterious light emerged from "Shen Lie"'s body, which was dazzling and dazzling, like a bright sun falling in the courtyard.
