Chapter 94: Li Daoyou, I am sorry
Inside the Five Ghosts Soul Refining Formation, Zhao Guangxuan was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the five ghosts that were comparable to the Jindan stage.
He had been planning today's events as early as the first time he saw Li Yu enter the realm of heaven and man.
In order to completely dispel the sect's suspicion, he waited for several months. After Li Yu won the first-class alchemist championship, he followed the rules of the alchemy peaks and first invited him to join Qingxuan Peak. Then, in front of everyone, he showed his extreme admiration for him. Not only did he personally teach him the way of alchemy, he also often rewarded him with Tongmai Pills and asked him to help deliver the pills. He also stood up to the sect's investigation. He did come to Yue Country every year to take care of the descendants of the Han family...
Under his plan, by now, everyone in the entire Qingxuan Peak, no, everyone in Kunlun Sect knows that Li Yu is a person he values very much, and he is training Li Yu as his personal disciple.
His plan was flawless and everything was so perfect. He left the sect before Li Yu and went in another direction. No one would doubt that he was the one who killed Li Yu.
Li Yu's disappearance would be like that of other Kunlun disciples. After all, the world of immortal cultivation is full of murderous intentions. Every year, there are at least eighty Kunlun disciples who go out and disappear inexplicably.
He had calculated everything, except that the rumors in the sect were true.
Li Yu is actually an undercover agent of the evil sect!
Damn it, who spread the rumor?
Zhao Guangxuan no longer had time to think about the answer to this question.
Although each of the five ghost spirits was weaker than him, he would have no chance of defeating them if they joined forces. What's more, the five ghost spirits with different attributes formed the famous Five Ghosts Soul-Capture Formation, which was powerful enough to kill any cultivator with a single spiritual vein below the Nascent Soul stage.
In just a moment, a trace of piercing evil energy had already corroded his body.
On Zhao Guangxuan's body, the third-grade immortal robe flashed and formed a shield, protecting him inside and blocking the erosion of evil spirit.
But the shield, under the erosion of the evil spirit, quickly became dim and it was obvious that it could not last long.
Zhao Guangxuan waved his hand and threw out a small golden bell, which instantly grew larger and enveloped him completely.
call out!
Five ghost spirits surrounded the giant bell and attacked at the same time. Five rays of light of different colors shot out from their hands, gathered together in the void, and then slammed into the giant bell.
boom!
After a deafening sound , fine cracks instantly appeared on the giant bell.
Inside the formation, Zhao Guangxuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale. He had heard about the power of the Five Ghosts Soul-Captivating Formation before, but his own magic weapon was damaged after only one blow. He was in danger today!
Outside the formation, Li Yu folded his arms, looked at the situation inside the formation, and asked the demon girl: "Miss, can this formation really block sound transmission?"
Nangong Chan glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, this space has been blocked, and he can't spread any news."
After confirming it again and again, Li Yu was completely relieved.
In fact, before Zhao Guangxuan appeared, Li Yu was not sure whether he would attack him.
It is also possible that he really just wanted Li Yu to run errands for him and deliver the pills.
But what if?
Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he would not joke with his own life.
With the lesson from Elder Sun, it was impossible for him to completely trust anyone.
But without evidence, he couldn't report it to the sect. Not to mention whether anyone would believe it, one of them was the sect's top third-grade alchemist, and the other was a low-level Qi Refining disciple with a bleak future. Their value to the sect was far greater than that of Zhao.
Anyone with a normal mind would think that he suffers from paranoia.
Only the witch took him seriously.
Even though there was no evidence and only speculation, at Li Yu's call, she came all the way from the Xuanyin Sect and ambushed here in advance, and she was actually ambushed.
The strong men of the righteous path, because they were interested in his secret, went through so much trouble and put on such a long show, just to search his soul.
The evil witch rushed thousands of miles to rescue him just because of his words. This world is really fucking amazing.
When looking at the formation again, Li Yu was secretly shocked.
This town of five ghosts capturing souls is completely different from the one he encountered last time.
If the five ghosts had not tried to charm him last time, but had directly attacked him from a distance, he would probably not have been able to break the formation so easily...
Zhao Guangxuan, who was inside the formation, did not have the same wild thoughts as Li Yu. The Five Ghosts Soul-Captivating Formation was too powerful. His life-saving magic weapon was on the verge of collapse after just a few hits.
If he doesn't make a choice, he will die today!
As his mind raced, he took out a purple-gold alchemy furnace, a top-grade flying sword, and several of his treasured magic weapons from the storage space.
But he did not do this to fight back.
"burst!"
Zhao Guangxuan didn't care about the heartache and urged those precious magic weapons to self-destruct. At the center of the explosion, a violent energy fluctuation instantly came, and even the airtight formation was torn into a hole.
Zhao Guangxuan seized the opportunity, activated a talisman, and teleported out. Thinking of the magic weapons that exploded, he was extremely angry. Looking at Li Yu and the woman, he gritted his teeth and said, "You are all going to die!"
Perhaps he will die today under the Five Ghosts Soul-Captivating Formation, but Li Yu and this woman will die before him.
He pressed down with his palm, and endless flames swept towards Li Yu and Nangong Chan.
The magic power of the Jindan stage is much stronger than that of the Qi Refining stage. In an instant, Li Yu felt a strong sense of life and death crisis.
But the next moment, a figure stood in front of him.
The pressure Li Yu faced was instantly relieved.
A ball of dark flame surged out from Nangong Chan's body and transformed into a black phoenix, flying towards Zhao Guangxuan.
Cry!
Li Yu seemed to hear a clear phoenix cry in his ears. The red flames were all absorbed by the black phoenix. The giant bird formed by the dark flames flapped its wings and flew in front of Zhao Guangxuan.
"Netherworld Spirit Fire!"
Zhao Guangxuan widened his eyes and uttered a sound of extreme fear, then he was wrapped in dark flames. His whole body evaporated instantly, leaving only a space bracelet falling from the void. Nangong Chan waved her hand, and the space bracelet flew into her hand.
As soon as the words fell, the black phoenix flew back into Nangong Chan's body.
Li Yu stared at the scene blankly for a long time before swallowing hard.
Li Yu knew that the demon girl was very strong...
But I didn't know she was so strong.
Although Zhao Guangxuan cultivated a single spiritual vein, he was also in the Jindan stage. How could he be killed in an instant?
Elder Sun's lifelong pursuit, a golden elixir master, was annihilated in an instant...
After Zhao Guangxuan's death, the five ghost spirits that were comparable to the Jindan stage turned into a few wisps of smoke and merged into the five formation flags. Nangong Chan waved and put them into the storage space.
After the ghost spirit disappeared, the feeling of desire from the alchemy furnace in Li Yu's body disappeared. From just now, it was extremely eager to devour those spirits, but it had been suppressed by Li Yu.
Nangong Chan grabbed Li Yu's wrist and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Come with me."
Two figures quickly crossed the sky and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, Kunlun Cave.
In a hall on a certain peak, many jade tablets are densely enshrined.
Snap...
At a certain moment, a slight cracking sound was suddenly heard in the quiet hall.
Inside the hall, the two disciples on guard were stunned for a moment, and one of them asked suspiciously, "Did you hear any sound?"
Another disciple was surprised and asked, "I thought I was hallucinating. Did you hear it too?"
After the two looked at each other, their expressions changed and they immediately turned to look at the layers of jade tablets enshrined in the hall.
The sect's powerful people above the Jindan stage, or some core disciples, have soul tablets left in the sect. Once they die unexpectedly, the sect will get the news first. The broken soul tablet also means that the owner of the soul tablet is dead.
The two checked one by one and soon found the broken soul tablet.
This soul tablet is not on the bottom layer, but is located very high up, in a row with the soul tablet of the Nascent Soul Patriarch, indicating that he is not an ordinary core disciple or Jindan elder. A name is engraved on a piece of thousand-year-old sandalwood below the soul tablet.
Zhao Guangxuan.
They were not unfamiliar with this name. Although Elder Zhao's strength was not outstanding among the elders in the Jindan stage, his alchemy was very famous and he was known as the number one third-grade alchemist in the world of immortal cultivation.
The soul tablet belonging to him shattered, and the two disciples were so shocked that their voices trembled.
"Elder Zhao has fallen!"
"Report to the sect immediately!"
…
Yuxu Peak.
Wang Daoxuan, who had just learned some news, stood there in a daze for a long time.
How long has it been since a Jindan-stage elder of the Kunlun Sect died unexpectedly?
Soon, streams of light flew from various peaks and gathered at Yuxu Peak. Not long after, shocking news came from Yuxu Peak, shaking the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven...
Zhao Guangxuan, the sect's promising third-grade alchemist, a Jindan-stage elder, and the head of Qingxuan Peak, has fallen...
And at this time.
Tens of thousands of miles away.
In an inn in a mortal city under the jurisdiction of the Demonic Soul Refining Sect, Nangong Chan glanced at Li Yu and said, "Fortunately you were alert, otherwise, even with the third-level talisman, you would not be able to escape."
Li Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for saving me, young lady."
Nangong Chan waved her hands and said, "You are mine, if I don't save you, who should I save?"
Li Yu felt extremely ashamed upon hearing this.
The witch really had nothing to say about him.
But he was indecisive about the witch.
Because of his guess, the witch came from afar, and Li Yu would only think of her when he needed her. When he didn't need her, he wished that the two of them had never met. She was truly a person who came when he called her and left when he waved her away. She was merciless...
Pah, what a scumbag!
Thinking about how the witch treated him, and then comparing it to how he treated her, Li Yu suddenly felt extremely guilty.
In order to make up for his guilt, Li Yu asked her: "Girl, are the five elements of magic in your body balanced?"
The demon girl glanced at him and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Li Yu said: "I accidentally learned two small spells, which require the five elements of magic to be balanced. If the young lady's magic is balanced, you can try it. Maybe it will be useful to the young lady."
He planned to offer these two little spells to make up for his inner guilt. After all, he owed the witch too much.
After a moment, Nangong Chan activated her magic power and said in great surprise: "It really disappeared!"
With her identity, she had access to many secret techniques of the devil, but this technique of concealing breath still surprised her. Concealing breath was very important for cultivators. This spell was very effective when used to ambush or avoid pursuit.
The art of looking at qi is more useful to her. Next time she meets Qin Keren, she will be able to see through her cultivation at a glance.
But she couldn't see through her own cultivation.
It was a small victory for Qin.
She had always been the one giving things to Li Yu, but this time, she could finally get something from Li Yu. This made Nangong Chan very pleased, as if she had finally made it.
Then, she asked Li Yu: "Who else did you teach this spell to?"
Li Yu's heart skipped a beat. The evil woman always asked about these sensitive topics accurately.
Although he had only met her three times, he had chatted with her countless times through Lingbei. Li Yu knew the demon girl very well. She was a possessive person. If he told her that he taught Jiang Li first, then Senior Sister Qin, and the last one he told her...
Then he definitely shouldn't think about it today.
Li Yu was not so stupid, and said firmly: "I just got these two spells not long ago, and I only told the girl."
"Didn't you tell your Junior Sister Jiang?"
"I plan to tell her when I get back."
"You didn't tell Qin Keren either?"
"Tell Senior Sister Qin what to do? I'm not familiar with her..."
…
Li Yu changed the subject and said, "By the way, girl, you can try to use the fused magic power to impact the Ren and Du meridians to see if there is any effect..."
After a moment, looking at the demon girl who had not changed much, Li Yu was sure that it seemed that it was really because of his extraordinary talent in martial arts. God was still fair. Although he closed the door to cultivation for him, he opened the window of martial arts for him.
At this time, Nangong Chan suddenly said to Li Yu: "Many of my Xuanyin Sect's disciples have been killed by Zhao Guangxuan. He is on my Xuanyin Sect's must-kill list. This time, you have made great contributions to the sect. What reward do you want?"
Li Yu was stunned. Has he accomplished something great now?
After reacting, he said a little embarrassedly: "That Netherworld Spirit Fire just now..."
He had seen this kind of spiritual fire in ancient books. With the help of this spiritual fire, he would be able to refine the Tongmai Pill by himself.
This fire is not only useful for alchemists, but also a rare treasure for magic practitioners. After refining it, the magic spells cast by immortal cultivators who cultivate the fire spirit vein will be transformed from ordinary spell fire to netherworld spirit fire. This kind of spirit fire is more advanced. When encountering magic powers of similar people who have cultivated fire attributes, they can basically be killed in one move.
The demon girl glared at him, "How dare you ask for it!"
Fortunately, this was not the first time, and she was used to it. She just glared at Li Yu and said, "Once the spiritual fire is refined, it cannot be given to others unless the owner dies. What's more, you took my spiritual fire, how can you keep your identity secret?"
Li Yu thought about it and it made sense, so he asked, "Do you have Tongmai Pills and Tuomai Pills?"
He is still waiting for the Tongmai Pill. After he has cultivated to perfection in Qi Refining, he cannot use the Tuomai Pill for the time being, but he will need it sooner or later.
Nangong Chan shook her head and said, "We don't have any elixirs. I've already told you that the Xuanyin Sect is not good at alchemy. I'm still waiting for you to return and take charge of the alchemy department. You should study alchemy well in Kunlun, and then I will hand over the alchemy department to you."
"What about the elixir?"
"I gave them all to you last time. Now there's not a single one left."
…
Neither this nor that, Li Yu could only say: "Girl, just give it to me..."
Nangong Chan glanced at him and said, "This time, besides saving you, I do have something good to give you. Give me the Lingbei first."
Li Yu was shocked, took out the spirit shell and handed it to her, and asked happily: "What is it?"
Nangong Chan put away the spirit shell and said, "Give me your hand."
Li Yu extended his hand without hesitation.
Nangong Chan stretched out one hand and clasped her fingers with Li Yu's, while with the other hand, she was rapidly changing hand seals.
Li Yu didn't know what this was doing. Was he trying to pass on his skills to him?
That's impossible. To cultivate immortality is to cultivate oneself, there is no such thing as passing on skills...
The next moment, he suddenly realized that something had entered his body where their hands were clasped, causing his soul to tremble. Li Yu asked blankly, "What is this?"
Nangong Chan said: "Soul contract, using spirit shells is too unsafe. After signing the soul contract, we can communicate with each other through thoughts even if we are thousands of miles apart. We will not be discovered by others. Moreover, if you are in danger, I can sense it at the first time. This secret technique is the secret of Xuanyin Sect..."
This soul contract sounds good. Li Yu asked again: "Besides this, what else can the soul contract do?"
Nangong Chan thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing else to say. Oh, by the way, my cultivation is stronger than yours. After the souls sign the contract, if I die, your soul will also scatter..."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What if I die?"
Nangong Chan shrugged and said, "My cultivation is much stronger than yours. If you die, you die. I'm fine..."
After a moment of shock, Li Yu angrily said: "You f---"
Nangong Chan frowned: "Hmm?"
Li Yu swallowed her breath and said, "You... Miss, you must pay attention to your safety. It's best not to go to any dangerous places."
Nangong Chan knew what he was worried about, patted his shoulder gently, and said: "Don't worry, you are mine, I will not let you die, whoever wants to kill you, I will kill him, if you die, I will definitely avenge you..."
Li Yu did not doubt her words, but who would want to put their life in the hands of others?
What if she died for some reason, wouldn't I be in trouble?
But he also knew that undercover agents never had freedom.
She was just stupid before. If Li Yu were her, she would have used some means to control herself long ago instead of letting herself go completely.
But in this way, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
From today on, he was completely on board the evil woman's pirate ship.
Thinking of what she just said, Li Yu asked again: "What if my cultivation level exceeds that of the girl?"
Nangong Chan looked at him disdainfully and asked, "What are you dreaming about?"
She is now a golden elixir, and Li Yu has not yet established his foundation. She has double spiritual veins, and Li Yu's talent is very average. His cultivation exceeds hers. This kind of thing can only happen in dreams.
However, she still explained to Li Yu: "If your magic power is close to mine, if you die, my soul will be damaged. If your magic power exceeds mine, I will die if you die, but you won't die if I die..."
This kind of secret technique was actually created by some Taoist companions in the ancient times.
In that era, some men and women in the demon world made soul contracts with each other to show their willingness to live and die together. As long as one of them died, the other would die immediately.
Later, a senior from the Demonic Path improved this secret technique. As long as the power gap between the two sides was too great, the demise of the weaker party would not affect the stronger one. Some powerful men from the Hehuan Sect used it on their own cauldrons. Once they died, the cauldron would also die immediately to avoid benefiting others.
Of course, she didn't regard Li Yu as a cauldron, she just thought it was convenient to contact him this way.
If Li Yu died, she would be the first to know and avenge him.
If she dies, then let Li Yu accompany her, so that she will have someone to accompany her on the road to the underworld.
She looked at Li Yu and said, "Go back quickly, don't let people suspect you..."
Li Yu also looked at her and said sincerely: "Miss, you must take care of yourself. No matter what happens, saving your life is the most important thing..."
On the way back to Kunlun, Li Yu looked melancholy.
After all, I still couldn't get rid of the witch.
Fortunately, she is very powerful. The enhanced version of the Five Ghosts Soul-Snatching Formation is probably useless to anyone below the Nascent Soul stage. As the Saintess of the Xuanyin Sect, she must have many life-saving cards, so it is not that easy for her to die...
Thinking about it this way, he actually has nothing to lose.
After returning to Kunlun, Li Yu did not return to Ziyun Peak, but went to Qingxuan Peak first.
There is a solemn atmosphere on Qingxuan Peak today.
Li Yu walked to the entrance of a hall. An alchemist with a sorrowful face saw Li Yu, sighed and said, "Friend Li, you are back..."
Li Yu smiled and said, "I have already delivered the elixir that Elder Zhao asked me to deliver. Has he returned to the sect?"
The alchemist looked gloomy and said, "Elder Zhao...can't come back."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
That first-class alchemist didn't know how to tell Li Yu the news.
When Elder Zhao was alive, the person he valued the most was Li Yu. He cultivated him very much and even let Li Yu handle his own private affairs. If he knew the news of Elder Zhao's death, how sad would he be?
But even if he didn't tell him now, he would know it sooner or later. He could only comfort him: "Friend Li, I hope you won't be too sad. Elder Zhao, he has passed away..."
Li Yu stood there in a daze, and then said flatly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, Elder Zhao still has a lot of life left, how could he die!"
The alchemist patted his shoulder and said, "My condolences..."
Li Yu looked bewildered. Soon, tears flowed from his eyes. He said sadly, "Elder Zhao!"
In the hall, alchemists came out one after another and saw this scene.
Looking at Li Yu's sad expression, they all sighed.
When Elder Zhao was alive, he was the best to Li Yu. When he heard the news of Elder Zhao's death, he cried even more sadly than Elder Zhao's direct disciple, which was reasonable...
