Among the Black Mountain Bandits, there are many buildings, led by nine leaders, each of whom is sitting in an ancient castle building.
Zi Chen and the other three came to these ancient castles and carefully explored every place, not sparing any corner.
A few hours later, the three met outside, with disappointment written all over their faces.
"We are too greedy. One of these things is already a treasure, but we actually expect other things. And after so many years of squandering, even if there are good things here, they have been squandered long ago." Xingchen shook his head. said.
This place was created by Zhongdian's first owner. It was just an inconspicuous den of star thieves at first. However, the first-generation owner died early in the battle. Xia Hande took over this place. With the title of Invincible Pseudo Saint, he stole the Black Mountain. He has developed into the biggest thief in this area, and his resources have definitely been squandered a lot during this period.
In fact, Zi Chen guessed that the true intention of the big leader was just to maintain this star thief den, not to really expand it, because he wanted to hide his identity, but later the other party died in the battle, and Xia Hande didn't know why, something happened deviation.
Whether this is what happened is meaningless to Zi Chen. He has no relationship with the former leader. Even if he knows the secret of the other party, he cannot find other Luo Zong treasures. As for the Black Mountain Bandit, although he is a good power, but Zi Chen couldn't stop because of this.
He would only rest briefly here before continuing deeper.
After searching to no avail, Zi Chen returned to Yuan Xia Hande's residence. The consumed holy power had now been restored to some extent, and he could try to extract the rules of the holy power.
Zi Chen didn't have any experience in the area of soul devourers. Fortunately, the rules he understood were very unusual. When Zi Chen singled out this rule and filled his body, it was like opening up the inheritance of memory, and like getting a soul. The guidance is the same, it is natural to know what to do next.
With the holy power surging at his fingertips, Zi Chen mobilized the rules of the Soul Devourer and pointed at the holy power crystal with one finger. As the holy power was injected into it, he soon felt that one from among the many heavenly realm rules. The rules of the Holy Power, and then the Holy Power used the rules as a guide, turned into threads, wrapped around the rules of the Holy Power, and forcibly extracted it from the Holy Crystal.
Those who can do this are holy level soul devourers.
The reason why the false saints are not strong in combat is because there is only one holy rule in their body, and the other rules are all heavenly realms. Zi Chen said at the beginning that the false saints are the heavenly realms that have gone astray. This statement is still very correct. of.
The false saint completely gave up an ocean and got a well, and could only exert the power of that well.
All this sounds simple, but when it comes to practice, Zi Chen realizes how difficult it is.
He tried it more than a dozen times, until all the holy power that had just been condensed in his body was exhausted, and then he reluctantly pulled out a holy power rule.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking at the rule chip in his hand, Zi Chen sighed: "I didn't expect that it would be so difficult. In this way, if you want to condense a complete holy crystal, I'm afraid it will take a long time." A short time.”
Zi Chen was very dissatisfied with his speed.
But if outside saints were to know that Zi Chen could successfully draw out a rule of holy power with just a little bit of holy power condensed in his physical body, they would undoubtedly be shocked, and it would also cause a huge shock.
Because usually, it takes several days to extract a rule. If you are proficient, it may take a month or more for those who are not proficient.
The first time Zi Chen tried to extract the rules of holy power, he achieved such results. In the eyes of those who really know the industry, this is undoubtedly a monster-like existence. At the same time, it will also shock Zi Chen's purity of the rules.
Zi Chen was not satisfied with his speed, but he soon discovered that when he was extracting the rules of the holy power, the speed of condensing the holy power in his body was accelerated a lot.
This was a complete surprise, so Zi Chen concentrated on running his perfect body to restore the holy power.
After the holy power was restored, it continued to be consumed. During this repeated process, Zi Chen's holy power increased at a rate that was not weaker than the speed of the previous retreat.
This unexpected surprise made Zi Chen make up his mind to stay here for a while, and then work hard to extract all the rules of the Holy Power from all the crystal stones obtained this time that contained the rules of the Holy Power.
In his spare time, Zi Chen would also go out for a walk, explore the surroundings, and satisfy the many treasure hunting ideas that had dissipated in his heart.
Later, Zi Chen discovered a very strange phenomenon.
On this planet, except for the monks, there are no other signs of life. However, the buildings here are not only magnificent, but each of them has formations, but without the power of heaven and earth to maintain them, these formations are undoubtedly just decorations.
Logically speaking, such a den of star thieves should not be placed on such a ruined planet, because no one can guarantee how long these planets can last before they naturally collapse. If a force is really to be established, then those planets that are intact will The planet is truly the right place.
Zi Chen, who was confused in his heart, called over the two heavenly beings, Fat and Thin.
"My lord, I have misunderstood. This used to be a complete world, and all the formations could be activated. However, I don't know what happened in recent years. The spiritual power on this planet began to flow away, showing signs of decay. Not only this Planet, the same is true for other nearby planets." Shou Tianjing said.
"There is still something like this. Have you checked it out? What's the cause?"
"When this situation was first discovered, everyone was very excited, thinking that a valuable treasure had been born in this star field. Chief Xia Hande even personally investigated the surrounding areas, but until all these planets were destroyed, the source of the abnormality was not found. In the end, everyone gave up looking for the root cause and felt happy in their hearts. Over time, others got used to this."
Afterwards, Zi Chen asked the two more questions, but did not find any useful clues.
However, the spiritual power of heaven and earth here cannot flow away for no reason, and it also flows together with the power on other surrounding planets. There is something strange in this.
"Could it be that the big leader back then came here to establish the Black Mountain Bandits not just to hide, but because he discovered something here and established a Star Bandit den, which was just a cover."
"Well, that must be the case. The fall of Luo Zong took too long, long enough for the two great families to forget them. And the other party may not have come here just to hide. He may have discovered the secrets of this place and was just deceiving them. die."
This possibility is also possible. He deliberately gave up Zhongdian's soul control and made a fake death.
But Zi Chen thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible, because the Black Mountain Bandit was created by the other party. Since he had discovered the secret long ago, he could live in seclusion here without creating the Black Mountain Bandit.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Zi Chen never expected that he would see such a place full of secrets just for a short stay.
Almost all the people who were related to the big leader were killed in the battle. Even those who did not die were killed by Zi Chen in this battle.
Only Xia Hande and the military advisor ran away. It turned out that the other party did not run away at first, but only ran away after he blocked the forbidden weapon attack of the second leader.
But there was only Xia Hande, and the military advisor was nowhere to be found. Perhaps he had run away long ago, or perhaps he had been killed by Xia Hande.
But undoubtedly, all the problems lie with Xia Hande.
Zi Chen called Fat and Thin Tianjing again and asked them about Xia Hande.
"We don't know the specific things. We have never seen the real big leader. When we came here, Xia Hande was the big leader, and almost all of those people died in a large-scale battle. During the battle, the big leader died, the original four leaders were seriously injured, and Xia Hande, who was still the second leader, was also injured."
"The only ones who survived that battle were him and the original four leaders. After that, Xia Hande became the big leader, the fourth leader became the third leader, and the original third leader became the current second leader. The opponent has been killed by you, oh , during the first battle, the military advisor also participated in the battle, and it is said that he was also injured."
"Do you know who you are fighting?" Zi Chen asked.
"I don't know. It is said to be a family, but I don't know which family it is specifically. This matter has been forgotten for tens of thousands of years. We just overheard a few words when others were chatting. "
"Oh, there is another rumor. It is said that the name of the great leader, the Invincible False Saint, has long been lost. In the battle that year, he suffered extremely serious injuries. He has not recovered yet, and his combat power has also been greatly reduced. Just after that battle, the big leader kept talking about his reputation as an invincible false saint, but he never took action."
The two retreated, and Zi Chen went out to investigate. He used his perfect spirit to carefully investigate, but found nothing unusual.
Maybe there are secrets here, but too much time has passed, and even if there were secrets, they were taken away first.
But for Xia Hande who disappeared inexplicably, Zi Chen had other thoughts in his mind. He vaguely felt that the other party might not have escaped, but was still somewhere here.
As for the battle that year, Zi Chen had different opinions, such as the injury of Xia Hande, who possessed the invincible pseudo-sage.
His opponent is definitely not a saint, otherwise he would not be alive. Zi Chen knows very well how powerful a being with the title of invincible is, and can kill someone of the same level instantly.
He shouldn't be seriously injured in a battle with the same level, but if the opponent has extraordinary means, that's another story.
What if it was the original big leader who fought with Xia Hande.
The opponent may not be strong in combat power, but with the Treasure Pavilion, there are endless methods. In a desperate fight, it is still very possible to seriously injure Xia Hande.
And in that battle, only three people were alive, but the three surviving leaders died again soon, leaving only Xia Hande and the military advisor.
As the former confidants of the big leader, the two did not know the magical function of the treasure pavilion. It was obvious that the big leader did not trust the two of them.
Zi Chen guessed that Xia Hande killed the former leader.
