Two Yuanshen Taoists were walking side by side. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of them, and a young man wearing animal skins appeared out of thin air.
"Who are you?" The expressions of the two Yuanshen Taoists changed and they both shouted.
boom!
An extremely terrifying pressure erupted from Ji Ning's body, and the surrounding area became completely silent.
The wind has stopped, but the curved grass is still curved, the jumping grasshoppers are stagnant in mid-air, the flowing streams have solidified, and the splashing water droplets are suspended. Although the two Yuanshen Taoists were full of anxiety and fear, they could not move at all. The terrifying realm came, leaving them both powerless to resist.
Back in Xianyue Great World, Ji Ning released his Tao Domain and easily made a small team of Fire Wing Guards unable to resist. Relatively speaking, the two Yuanshen Taoists were slightly weaker than that team.
"Take it." Ji Ning waved his hand and took the two people who had no power to resist directly into the Immortal Mansion.
Ji Ning scanned the surroundings. He was very cautious when he made his move just now. He only spread the area of thousand feet and did not affect the distance.
…
Take it with you in the immortal mansion.
The two Yuanshen Taoists looked around in horror.
"Where is this?"
"Where are we? This, this, is this the Immortal Mansion of the Immortal Mansion?" The two Yuanshen Taoists looked at the beautiful courtyard and thought of the Immortal Mansion of the Immortal Mansion.
"Dongqiu, who is that young man? How come we are powerless to resist just by releasing the Dao Domain? Could it be that he is an immortal?"
"I'm afraid it's the first level of immortality."
The two Yuanshen Taoists were filled with anxiety and fear. The opponent's strength was so strong that they had no power to resist. Some of the powerful loose immortals of their Donglin Sect could not make them struggle just by their 'Dao domain'. Obviously, the young man's 'Dao realm' had surpassed anyone in the Donglin Sect.
"You two." Ji Ning, wearing a black Taoist robe, appeared.
"Senior, are you here to arrest the two of us?" One of the tall and thin Taoist Priests asked.
"Senior, if there is anything you want us to do, just ask." Another Yuanshen Taoist with triangle eyes said.
Ji Ning, who was wearing black Taoist robes, smiled: "It's very simple. I want to search for the souls of both of you."
"Searching for souls?" The two of them suddenly looked horrified.
Soul searching, if you are lucky and can still maintain normal sanity, you will lose a little memory. If you are unlucky, you may even become an idiot!
"You two should know. I will kill you without any effort." Ji Ning said in black robe. "I can completely search for souls by force, but you also know that this forced soul search will be very harmful to you, and may even turn you into idiots. So I hope that you two will volunteer and don't resist at all. In this way, with your The souls of the two Yuanshen Taoists can still maintain normal sanity."
The two Yuanshen Taoists looked at each other.
have no choice.
Why are you so unlucky?
The two of them also knew that if they resisted and were forcibly searched for their souls... they would be miserable.
"We are both willing, please spare our lives, senior." Both of them said.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Black Taoist-robed Ji Ning said. In fact, judging from the information obtained from Tianbaoshan, these two people have done a lot of evil. With Ji Ning's ordinary temper, he would have killed him directly, but if he killed him, the life tablets of the two people in the Donglin Sect would be shattered. The Donglin Sect would know that these two people were dead, and his plan would not work.
The two Yuanshen Taoists closed their eyes.
Ji Ning in the black Taoist robe stretched out his palm and placed it on the head of the tall and thin Yuanshen Taoist, and immediately performed the 'Thousand Star Soul Search'. This 'Thousand Star Soul Search' was obtained by killing the evil ancestor in Xianyue World. A secret soul-searching technique.
For a moment, Ji Ning put down his palm.
The tall and thin Yuanshen Taoist opened his eyes and showed joy: "I'm fine. I'm fine."
"I said it. If you don't resist at all, you will stay rational. Even the memory you will lose will be very little." Black Taoist robe Ji Ning turned to look at the other person. The Taoist with triangle eyes looked at it and accepted his fate. He closed his eyes and waited until Ji Ning came over and put his palm on his head.
******
At the foot of Donglin Mountains.
"It turns out that these two people are just weaklings." Ji Ning thought to himself, and a bag appeared in his hand, which contained the items purchased this time.
Donglin Sect encountered a disaster about thirty years ago. Most of the brave people died, while some brave people continued to live in silence. They look forward to the day of 'freedom'. However, there are also some weaklings in the Donglin Sect, who even help the secret forces exploit their own sect members!
Taoist Dongqiu and Dongshu are such weaklings! They trample on their former classmates and please those mysterious figures like dogs!
The two of them naturally received more attention and were even qualified to go shopping.
but……
Although the two of them tried their best to flatter each other, the mysterious forces still regarded them as dogs. For example, the most important "forbidden area" was absolutely forbidden for them to approach. Not to mention them, even the Donglin Sect Master was prohibited from entering that forbidden area.
"Mysterious force?"
"Is the leader a general? It is said that he is a being at the level of an immortal?"
"Forbidden area?"
Ji Ning immediately noticed the 'forbidden area' after searching for souls.
The forbidden area is so mysterious.
The mysterious force occupied the Donglin Mountains and designated an area as a forbidden area. A large number of people were in the forbidden area. Even the general went in often.
"Change!" Ji Ning immediately changed and turned into the tall and thin Yuanshen Taoist 'Dongqiu Taoist'.
Ji Ning then rushed directly towards the Donglin Zongshan Gate.
"Taoist Dongqiu is back? Where is Taoist Dongshu?" asked the two guards at the mountain gate.
"Taoist Dongshuo has not been back to the tribe for a long time. I just stopped by this time, so I went back first." Ji Ning said with a smile. Because of the soul search, Ji Ning also knew that these 'softheads' are more trusted. He would also go back to the tribe frequently, so that the spies of the 'Great Xia Royal Family' could not discover anything unusual about the Donglin Sect.
Otherwise, none of the immortal cultivators from the Donglin Sect will come out, or even return to the tribe. In this moment of turmoil in the Three Realms, the Daxia royal family will naturally come to investigate.
Ji Ning said with a smile and continued walking, passing through each formation very familiarly. He knew how to pass through these formations because 'Souhun knows it'.
…
After returning to Donglin Sect, he handed over the purchased items, chatted casually with some immortal cultivators from Donglin Sect, and then returned to the residence of 'Taoist Dongqiu'.
"Change!"
A mosquito flew out of Dongqiu Taoist's residence.
Mosquitoes are so common that even if we kill them all, there will probably be many more mosquitoes after one night. What's more, the Donglin Sect is in the mountains and forests. There are even more mosquitoes. Ji Ning turned into a mosquito. Flying and flying, it got closer to the 'forbidden land'.
More powerful formations were deployed around the forbidden area.
The mosquito 'Jining' could only fly outside the formation before stopping, and then landed directly on the ground.
"Follow closely."
"Quick, quick, quick, don't get separated, we have to join the formation. There are eighteen large formations. If you get separated, you will be trapped in the formation. I don't want to find those old guys to rescue you." A group of men in black robes shouted at the general formation. They walked towards the formation, and the man in black robe who was walking at the end was urging them.
Snapped.
as they walk. The sole of one of the men in black robes was stained with a grain of 'dust', and this dust was turned into by Ji Ning!
Even a cultivator cannot shake the dust away again and again when walking. After all, how tiring would it be to shake it away just once with one step? This group of men in black robes walked in the formation, carefully passing through the eighteen formations one after another. The 'dust' stained on the sole of one of them also passed through the eighteen formations.
After passing the big formation. It is a heavily guarded forbidden area with a large number of patrolling guards.
"Buzz~~~"
In the forbidden area, the mosquito 'Jining' was flying.
"This place is really heavily guarded. What are you doing?" Ji Ning, a mosquito, was flying in a canyon. There were other small mosquitoes in the canyon. Ji Ning had to maintain the speed that a 'mosquito' should have. "The deeper this canyon goes, the more guarded It’s becoming more and more strict.”
Deep in the canyon. There is an old castle.
There is a layer of mist on the surface of the castle. Not even mosquitoes could get in, and there were an astonishing number of men in black robes patrolling around. Each of the men in black robes exudes a powerful aura, and they are all at the level of 'Loose Immortal and Earth Immortal'.
"Some men in black robes are only at the level of all things and souls. But there are more than a hundred guards around this castle, and they are all loose immortals?" Ji Ning secretly exclaimed. There are more than a hundred loose immortals standing outside, and the real guard force is probably even more powerful.
"This castle?"
Mosquito Ji Ning landed and paid attention to the castle in the distance.
Wait until late afternoon.
A group of men in gray robes came out of the castle. "Finally, someone came out of the castle. The auras of these people are quite strong, and they seem to be at the Earth Immortal and Loose Immortal level. Hey, they are all..." Ji Ning suddenly They were surprised to find that each of these men in gray robes had tired faces, and even Ji Ning could feel the tiredness in the distance.
"These are all Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals. Why are they so exhausted?" Ji Ning couldn't believe how powerful the Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals were. Only if the Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals' minds were consumed too much and made them too tired would they be like this.
Mental consumption is nothing to an immortal.
But if it is consumed to the extreme, it is still very scary. In order to create a powerful magic weapon, a certain immortal worked tirelessly and exhausted all his efforts to die. This kind of news is also common in the Three Realms. Immortal cultivators who are too tired usually relax and take a rest.
"So tired, not one or two, but a group?" Ji Ning was confused.
suddenly--
Ji Ning was stunned!
A thin gray-robed man at the back of the group of gray-robed men was also walking numbly.
"Junior... junior brother?" Ji Ning looked in disbelief. The man in gray robe was none other than Ji Ning's very familiar good brother, Mu Zishuo, who had been missing for more than twenty years!
Mu Zishuo!
Back then, Mu Zishuo found a Taoist companion and lived a happy life.
But soon, the Taoist monk died and Mu Zishuo disappeared.
I looked for it in Black and White Academy, but couldn't find it!
Ji Ning never thought that he would meet his junior brother in the Donglin Mountains! I never expected that my junior brother would be like this!
At this moment, the junior brother's body under the gray robe is getting smaller and smaller, and it is obvious that he already has the aura of an earthly immortal and loose immortal, but Ji Ning does not feel the junior brother's power at all. Instead, he feels that the junior brother is like a burning candle, as if it is about to be extinguished. The candles and vitality were very dim, and a heavy feeling of exhaustion hit my face.
Whether it was tiredness or not was a trivial matter, the important thing was that Ji Ning could not feel his junior brother's 'vigor'. The energetic young man seemed to have disappeared, and what he saw in front of him seemed to be a dying old man.
He was pale and his hair was disheveled, even with a little white hair.
"Junior brother..." Ji Ning felt that the few white hairs were very dazzling.
For those who have reached the level of Earthly Immortal and Sanxian, there is only one possibility for their hair to turn gray except for the 'Art of Change' - too much mental energy is consumed. It consumes a lot of energy and may even turn gray overnight. Mental exhaustion may even lead to death.
"What happened?" Ji Ning was really confused.
I still remember clearly...
"My name is Mu Zishuo!" The young boy in white robe was full of vitality.
"My name is Ji Ning. I am sixteen years old. How old are you?"
"fourteen."
The scene when they first met that shy and immature boy seemed like yesterday.
"Senior Brother, let me go with you. The days of escaping with you were wonderful." When he killed Shao Yannong, Junior Brother did not hesitate. Even though he was on the escape journey, Junior Brother was still full of fighting spirit.
"What on earth, what on earth made Junior Brother like this?"
Ji Ning looked at the gray-robed man Mu Zishuo in the distance, and at the old and tired Mu Zishuo.
…
A group of gray-robed men were walking, and mosquitoes were flying in the valley. A mosquito was following them.
"You only have one hour to rest." A man in black robe shouted.
But this group of gray-robed men began to disperse, and each walked towards his own residence. The gray-robed man Mu Zishuo also walked towards his own residence, which was one of the many courtyards. He opened the door and Mu Zishuo entered. Close again.
In a house in the courtyard.
Mu Zishuo sat at the wooden table. He picked up the kettle on the wooden table and poured himself a glass of water. He drank it silently.
Quiet, eerily quiet.
There was only a faint sound of drinking water in the room, and then Mu Zishuo silently put down his teacup and sat there, silently, without saying a word. He just looked ahead.
"Wow." Mu Zishuo suddenly waved his hand. A shielding formation immediately appeared in the room.
Then he turned over his hand and took out a wooden sculpture. It was a statue of a woman, lifelike. Mu Zishuo looked at the statue and placed it gently on the table. Then a piece of wood appeared in his hand, and he began to carve it with a small knife. He slowly carved it, and the wood flowers flew around, and the wood gradually turned into the shape of a woman.
Finally, the carving is done.
He put the wooden sculpture on the table and looked at it blankly.
"Junior brother!" Suddenly a voice sounded.
A boy in animal skin appeared in the house.
That familiar voice seemed to arouse Mu Zishuo's repressed memory deep in his heart. He raised his head and looked over. Suddenly he froze, his whole body motionless, just looking at the young man wearing animal skin standing there.
That familiar animal skin...
That familiar look...
That familiar voice...
That look, that expression...
"Teacher, senior brother?" Mu Zishuo shouted dryly, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Junior brother, junior brother." Ji Ning looked at his junior brother with tears in his eyes, "What's going on?"
Mu Zishuo looked at Ji Ning, but tears were streaming down his face. He opened his mouth to cry, but there was no sound. Only his body was shaking and tears were flowing.
Ji Ning stepped forward and hugged Mu Zishuo.
"Cry, cry, don't keep it in your heart, cry it all out, cry it out." Ji Ning's eyes were red, and he whispered softly. He felt the endless pain that his junior brother suppressed in his heart. He couldn't imagine it. He couldn't even imagine it. I don’t know what the junior brother has experienced in these years, and what can make the junior brother with a firm heart become like this.
Holding his junior brother in his arms, Ji Ning felt his junior brother's body trembling.
Ji Ning felt his heart tremble!
In the end what happened?
What happened!
how so?
Will this happen?
"Cry it out, cry it out, don't hold it in your heart, cry it out, senior brother is here, senior brother is here, everything is over, everything is over." Ji Ning said, holding his junior brother's trembling body, junior brother Tears were on his clothes and even on his neck.
Ji Ning felt his junior brother's tears.
"Ah!!!" A painful cry suddenly echoed through the room.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Mu Zishuo's cries were even a bit dry and shrill, crying crazily and wailing loudly.
Ji Ning hugged his brother tightly. Listening to his brother's cries, he could feel the endless hidden pain, grievance, sorrow, and despair. All of them burst out with the cries. Ji Ning hugged him tightly. Brother, Ji Ning's heart is trembling at this moment, and his heart feels like a knife stabbing him.
pain.
It hurts enough to burst.
In the end what happened? Let the young boy in white robes, the junior brother who could even regard death as home and be willing to escape and conquer the world with him, become like this?
"I swear!!!"
"No matter who it is! No matter who they are, everyone, one by one...all...all of them will die, all of them will die!!!" Ji Ning hugged his crying junior brother and made an oath in his heart with tears in his eyes.
