"After selling all the spirit beasts, they also left. Because I was good at hiding, I escaped. At that time... at that time, I was the only one left in the entire sect who could breathe. I didn't know where to go. So I stayed." Ratmon said, while secretly glancing at Wen Guying's expression.
Li Chuan couldn't help but think of the little mouse in his sea of consciousness.
As expected, all rats are timid.
However, Wen Guying followed the words of the rat beast and continued, "After you stayed, you began to recruit some little demons to go up the mountain. Let them pretend to be monks, and in the name of recruiting outer disciples, they tricked people into coming up the mountain to provide for you. Practicing evil practices.”
The rat beast froze for a moment, and after he realized what he was doing, he immediately started yelling, saying, "No, the Immortal has wronged me!" He found that his mouth was dry and Wen Guying had no response, so he immediately cried out. : "Shangxian, I couldn't help myself, I was forced to do it!"
He said: "That devil, he threatened me, if I don't help him, he will kill me!"
"Devil?" Wen Guying asked, "Didn't you just say that you would take me to see Master Xu? Did you say that Master Xu is a demon?"
The rat beast repeatedly apologized and said, "No, it's not Master Xu, it's..."
"What is it?" Wen Guying asked.
"That devil, he took advantage of the fact that Master Xu was away and there was no one in Guyue Sect, and he took over the entire sect!" Suddenly a look of determination appeared on the Rat Beast's face, and he said, "I originally didn't want to listen to his orders. But when I think about Master Xu coming back in the future, what if no one tells him what happened here? So I can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden and listen to the devil's orders against my will."
"Do you know where the devil came from?" Wen Guying asked next.
The rat beast breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know, he appeared about ten years ago. His cultivation level is very high and his methods are cruel, so..."
"Take me to see him." Wen Guying ordered.
Ratmon hesitated.
Wen Guying said: "What? You don't want to? Could it be that everything you just said was false?"
The Rat Beast shook his head repeatedly and denied, "No, no..." He said with all his heart, "The Immortal, he will definitely not let me go when he sees me leading the Immortal over there!"
"Do you think I will definitely lose?" Wen Guying's tone was serious.
The Rat Beast hurriedly explained: "Of course not, the Immortal is definitely not afraid of him, but the devil's methods are weird. If I pass by, the Immortal will be distracted to protect me, maybe he will find a chance to escape..."
Wen Guying seemed to be persuaded and said, "Then you can stay here."
As he spoke, he let go of his hand. The rat beast breathed a sigh of relief as if he was being pardoned, and then pointed forward and said: "The devil is at the jade monument in front. I will be here, waiting for the good news from the Immortal."
"Yeah." Wen Guying said yes, then waved to Li Chuan and the others, and said, "Let's go."
He stopped looking at the rat beast and stepped forward.
After walking for a while, Li Chuan asked softly: "That spiritual beast, are you just going to let it go like this? What if it deceives us?"
"He is dead." Wen Guying said.
"Ah?" Li Chuan turned around and looked.
Tong Luo's eyesight was very good, and he immediately saw the rat beast lying stiffly on the ground. He said: "It is indeed dead."
Wen Guying explained: "It also relied on the formation to survive until now. Now that the formation is broken, the magic backfires. Without me to keep it alive, it will naturally not be able to survive."
"Will the backlash of the spell affect us?" Li Chuan asked.
"Of course you won't follow me," Wen Guying replied.
After hearing Wen Guying's words, Li Chuan and Tong Luo looked at each other, took a few steps almost at the same time, and followed closely. The second male and the third male also quickly squeezed to the front.
Li Chuan couldn't help but said: "This Guyue Sect is too miserable."
Gong Er also said: "Yes, I wonder what the ascended immortal will think after knowing this."
Tong Luo participated in the discussion and said, "You will definitely avenge Guyuemen, right?"
Gong Er looked at Wen Guying and asked for confirmation: "It must be possible, right?"
"It's hard to say." Wen Guying replied.
"Why?" Gong Er was a little puzzled and said, "After becoming an immortal, can I completely put aside my past identity as a sect disciple?"
"When he first ascended to the upper realm, he probably didn't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the lower realm, so that's why the casual cultivator did this. But now, two thousand years have passed. During this period, the head elder of the Guyue Sect must find a way to go up. The upper realm passed the news..." Wen Guying said as he walked, "Either he doesn't care about the sect at all, or something happened to him in the upper realm."
"Ascension is not the end, and immortals are not immortal." Wen Guying said euphemistically: "In the past two thousand years, as long as one of the immortals who ascended from Guyue Sect appeared, Guyue Sect would not be in such a situation. .”
After hearing Wen Guying's words, Li Chuan and others fell silent.
After walking deep into the stone forest, the light dimmed. Wen Guying suddenly stopped. He stretched out his hand to signal Li Chuan and others to stop too.
He said: "Ahead is the spring of spiritual veins."
Hearing this, Li Chuan looked forward, but there were only strange rocks with different heights and depths in his field of vision.
"This direction." Wen Guying pointed to the sky to one side.
Li Chuan looked up in confusion and seemed to see some blurry lights and shadows. After adjusting his angle, he finally saw it clearly.
It is a majestic jade tablet hanging upside down, looking down at all living beings like a giant. Starlight twinkles among the textures of the jade tablet, and there are many words that are difficult to discern.
"As expected." Wen Guying said, he did not sell out, and immediately explained: "The devil was sealed in the jade tablet. He was not completely assimilated by the jade tablet, and he continued to extract the spiritual power from his spiritual veins, but this was just to quench his thirst. . After the spiritual power dries up, we can only drive the rat beast to find some little demons to trick people into going up the mountain."
He glanced at Tong Luo and said, "They didn't kill you right away, not because they thought you had any background, but probably because your bodies had the slightest chance of merging with his soul. That jade ruler was not used to measure talent and bones, but It is used to measure the physical body.”
Wen Guying turned around, looked at the jade tablet and said, "Senior Liu, am I right?"
As soon as Wen Guying finished speaking, Li Chuan saw the lines on the jade tablet begin to twist, and a huge and incomplete human face gradually appeared.
"Do you know who I am?" A hoarse and harsh voice came from the jade tablet.
Wen Guying said: "This is the spring of the Guyue Sect's spiritual veins, and the jade stele is the treasure of the sect. The only person who can use the formation here to restrain and drive the jade stele is the head of the Guyue Sect. And he can The only person who hates me to the point of sacrificing the foundation of the sect to seal it is you, the casual cultivator Liu is different, Senior Liu."
"Who are you?" Human Face asked.
"Monk from the Four Divine Palaces, please be kind to me."
