In the room, Mu Qing and Gu Yinghe crossed their legs and closed their eyes, with their palms touching each other. A stream of true energy circulated through the two people's bodies until nightfall.
"Well."
Gu Yinghe groaned softly, with an unconcealable joy in his slightly trembling eyebrows.
The forbidden blood curse in her body finally disappeared at this moment, and the aura of her peak mortal transformation once again broke through the previous limit.
She opened her eyes and saw that the room was completely dark. She was startled and quickly stood up and lit the lamp on the table.
Mu Qing slowly opened his eyes and said: "For us, what is the difference between night and day? If you care too much about this, it will be strange."
"I know." Gu Yinghe didn't want to say more. He turned to look at Mu Qing and asked, "How is your recovery from your injury?"
Although Mu Qing broke through to the middle stage of mortal transformation in Shengyuan Mountain, the battle with Fang Jun consumed his essence. He looked inside the sea of consciousness for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said: "With the harmony of the chaotic energy in your body, I recovered well. "
Gu Yinghe was a little happy, but also a little regretful: "I can't help you yet."
Mu Qing shook his head: "Tomorrow you listen to Sister Qingyu's arrangements. If she asks everyone to leave, you have to take everyone out of Wuji Sword Sect as soon as possible."
Gu Yinghe responded to the matter seriously, and when he saw Mu Qing was thinking about things while adjusting his breath, he couldn't help but be in a trance, unable to take his eyes away from his brows.
Suddenly, footsteps approached quickly, the door was pushed open, and Murong Jing stood at the door, saying in a deep voice: "He appeared!"
Mu Qing stood up suddenly.
When he followed Murong Jing to the lobby downstairs, the originally spacious lobby seemed a bit narrow.
Su Si, Ou Yeqing, Bai He and others were all here. Mu Qing glanced quickly and felt a little relieved when he saw that Su Kuoyu and the others were all there and safe and sound.
Ye Qingyu stood in front of the crowd, his eyes darkened: "Things are a bit tricky."
Su Si looked at Mu Qing with a complicated expression on his face: "It can really turn into the appearance of senior brother. If it weren't for the formation set up by Senior Fang, we wouldn't be able to distinguish the real thing from the fake one."
Mu Qing looked at Ye Qingyu.
Looking at everyone's expressions, he knew that although the trap successfully attracted the sword demon, it was not fully effective in keeping the sword demon behind. "What's the problem?"
Fang Jun sighed: "We underestimated it."
Su Si was a little annoyed: "The formation temporarily trapped it. Sister Qingyu seized the opportunity and fired a sword, but we blocked it."
"you?"
Ye Qingyu nodded: "They were completely suppressed when they entered within ten feet of the sword ghost. They even took the initiative to hit my sword."
Fang Jun said: "I just carefully checked their sea of consciousness, and there is a sword puppet mark hidden deep in their sea of consciousness."
Mu Qing frowned, "Compared with this discovery, when Senior Su was imprinted is more important."
Fang Jun sighed softly: "I asked them carefully, and the only way they can have any relationship with Sword Demon is that they have all been exposed to the Unknown Sword Sutra."
"Perhaps our previous speculation was wrong. Maybe we don't need to study the Sword Sutra too deeply. We only need to study the Sword Sutra, and the sword demon can plant the sword puppet mark in an extremely covert manner."
Mu Qing was startled, turned to look at Bai He and asked, "How many people from the Wuji Sword Sect have come into contact with that sword scripture?"
Bai He looked gloomy and said: "Disciples and above, all the elders and peak masters in the sect have come into contact with the Sword Scripture in the past six months, nominally for my father."
The atmosphere in the lobby was extremely depressing.
Xichuan said: "The current situation is a bit passive, and the opponent may launch a sneak attack at any time."
Mu Qing felt bitter in her heart, thinking that no wonder everyone was together, this was to prevent them from being defeated individually.
Fang Jun looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Mu Qing, and said: "Although the situation is bad, it is clearer."
"The marks on Su Si and the others are very shallow, and they need to be close to each other within a certain range to have an impact."
"This at least proves that Sword Demon's ability is limited and cannot control too many people.
The king's realm doesn't have enough control, otherwise it should have made them the same as Ni Xiuyun. "
Xichuan also said: "In addition, there is something strange happening here. Bai He has left Evergreen Peak, but Ni Xiuyun still cannot wake up from my illusion."
"They all seem to have forgotten such a person."
Mu Qing felt a little better, but her heart sank again when she thought about how many "Ni Xiuyun" there would be at tomorrow's meeting.
Ye Qingyu said: "I have a feeling that Lu Tai did not tell Sword Demon what we are doing, otherwise the other party would not be exposed in advance at this time."
"Yes." Xichuan nodded, "Moreover, they should have taken action now, but they still kept quiet. Some things may be different from what we thought. At least it can be confirmed that neither Lu Tai nor Zang Jian was completely attacked by Sword Demon. Control, and their own thoughts."
Su Si said in pain: "If senior brother is really sober, why do you still want to help others do evil? Let everyone in the Sword Sect fall into this situation?"
Among those present, Su Si was the most uncomfortable.
Even when she was waiting by the Sword Washing Pond, she still had a trace of fantasy, thinking that Lu Tai might have a last resort, and that he might be completely controlled by the Sword Demon.
But now not only has the existence of Sword Demon been confirmed, but more surprising plans have been revealed.
Ye Qingyu looked at Mu Qing and asked, "Do you want to continue?"
Mu Qing's eyes crossed Su Si's face, and he had another guess in his mind, and said: "There are people on the opposite side who still want to continue acting. We will just act with them, but now we need to do more testing."
Mu Qing looked at Fang Jun and asked, "Can you erase the sword puppet marks in the consciousness of Senior Su and others?"
Fang Jun said: "Their level is not low, and it will take a long time to completely remove the mark of the sword puppet."
Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be great if we can do it."
Mu Qing followed Fang Jun and tried to learn the method of erasing the mark of the sword puppet, but later found out helplessly that unless he was also a true spirit, it would be impossible.
In this way, he and Ye Qingyu and others discussed how to respond to various emergencies, while guarding against sneak attacks.
Time passed quickly as everyone was busy, and in a blink of an eye, the dark sky was cut through by a golden light, like a splashing sword light, which was bound to break through all the dark curtains.
Jinglan Peak.
The weather in the morning was even better than the previous few days, and even after the sect-protecting formation was removed, there was no wind or snow.
The swordsmanship geniuses selected in the sword trial competition began to climb the mountain with great expectations.
Mu Qing, the "connected person", fell at the back of the team and followed the flow of people through familiar formations.
Suddenly a figure appeared beside him. Mu Qing froze, but quickly recovered and ignored the person.
Lu Tai looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You are very good. You already know a lot of things. I'm curious why you still want to get involved?"
Mu Qing looked at the two familiar figures in the crowd in front of him and said, "I haven't gotten what I want yet."
"If so. If you stay with Ye Jianxian, you can get what you want tomorrow."
Mu Qing stopped and looked at the landing platform.
Lu Tai looked at him, his eyes as sincere as before, and said: "Junior sisters, the marks on their bodies have been removed. You are very capable and should not waste your lives here."
"You can take the friends you care about and leave."
Mu Qing felt deeply puzzled and asked, "Is there no one Sect Master Lu cares about?"
Lu Tai looked away, looked at the mountain, and said, "You can't stop me. Now that you've seen through my plan, just leave."
Mu Qing insisted: "Since I didn't make this matter known to everyone in the Sword Sect, Sect Master Lu should give me a chance to take risks."
Lu Tai smiled and said: "My vision is still as accurate as ever. You are a person who likes to take risks by nature."
Mu Qing wanted to get more information from Lu Tai, but the team in front had stopped. When he turned around, there was no one around him.
That mountain covered with iron stones and runes
Qiu appeared in front of the crowd. No matter how proud the young people who were qualified to enter today were, they could not hide the excitement on their faces.
In this atmosphere, Lu Tai walked out of the shadow of the passage below the hill. He smiled warmly and revealed a secret: "Actually, this stone hill on the ground is just a seal. The real sword tomb is still in a small world. Among..."
Mu Qing stood at the back of the crowd, looking at Lu Tai at the front of the crowd facing everyone's gaze, feeling slightly depressed.
"This must be the ghost."
"yes."
"...I really can't tell the difference between it and Lutai."
The ring on Mu Qing's hand warmed slightly, and Fang Jun's words directly rang in his consciousness: "One hundred years is enough for it to completely learn a person's personality, demeanor, and even the way of doing things. If Lu Tai If it dies, it will be the leader of the Wuji Sword Sect."
Mu Qing was about to ask Fang Jun how he could tell the difference between Sword Demon and Lu Tai, when a line of sight fell accurately on him.
"Little friend Mu Qing."
Mu Qing looked at the sword ghost expressionlessly.
The smile on the sword ghost's face became even warmer, but there was undisguised malice in Mu Qing's eyes.
The sword demon withdrew his gaze and fell to the side.
This time, four of the ten people were not disciples of the Sword Sect, and their elders were also present.
The one who attracted the most attention was Ye Qingyu.
Sword Demon didn't even look at Ye Qingyu, but said to Zhou Yun: "Sword Tomb is the core place of Wuji Sword Sect. It involves inheritance secrets and outsiders cannot enter."
Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I was asking about Ji Feng's cultivation. Is he considered half of us?"
Sword Demon smiled and said, "Junior Sister Zhou can make an exception."
The two of them were flirting with each other here. Although the Bai He girls beside them felt disgusted, they also relaxed a little. They were all people who had known Lu Tai for a long time. Once they were on guard, they quickly recognized this person. A fake ghost.
Although they had been vigilant all night last night, the mark of the sword puppet in their sea of consciousness had been completely removed. They were sure that the sword demon would not let them enter the Jingming Realm again, so they heard the sword demon announce the candidates who would enter the Jingming Realm to protect the way. .
None of the six peak masters were considered. Except for one of the selected people, the remaining five were all the five senior elders exposed by Ni Xiuyun that day.
Bai He immediately said: "Sect Master, understanding the Sword Sutra is not without backlash. It is better for us peak masters to protect the disciples."
Sword Demon smiled and said, "No need to trouble Junior Sister."
As soon as it finished speaking, Elder Hidden Sword appeared behind the sword ghost, and his secret intimidation was self-evident.
This was the first time Mu Qing saw Elder Zangjian. When he looked at Elder Zangjian, he was also looking at him. When their eyes met, he heard Fang Jun say: "This person's strength is no worse than your sister Qingyu, and he is also natural." Occupying a favorable location, you still have a chance to regret it."
Mu Qing said: "I remember you said you wanted to retrieve the missing memory, right?"
Fang Jun replied: "I have completely remembered everything."
"Really? What's the difference between the "just a small difference" that the sword master told you? "
Fang Jun didn't answer.
Mu Qing said: "You are the true spirit born from the Innate Dao Stone. The Sword Master paved the way for you before leaving, but you created a sword embryo. Doesn't it have anything to do with the Weapon-Zhanbing Sword?"
Fang Jun finally couldn't hold back, "Even if it's related, what else can be done? The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind, and I will be the 'oriole'? If this is Master's arrangement, then I don't want to accept it."
At the end, Fang Jun said quietly: "It turns out that you kid has been plotting against me."
