Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 321 Immortal Cult ([-])
Tangning asked, "Have you ever experienced something like this before?"

"No, before we all acted together as a few people to hunt down low-level monks, and it didn't take much effort at all."

"Tell me about your companions, where are they hiding?"

Xu Rudao: "Phoenix asked us to hide, observe reliable people by the way, and pull them into the sect when the limelight passes. I am going to South China, Suzaku is in Jiangdong, Xuanwu is in Xichuan, and Baihu stays in Beiyuan. Phoenix told us not to leave Chu easily. As for where he is, I don’t know, he never tells us his whereabouts, and he always looks for us on his own initiative.”

Guan Sheng said: "When did you start deliberately preying on monks? Has this always been the case?"

"I used to feed on mortals, and I didn't do it deliberately. It was an uncontrollable behavior when I got sick. Until I followed Phoenix, he told us that preying on monks can help the growth of spiritual power in the body, so I started to capture monks as food reserves."

"Has this method improved your spiritual power?"

"Yes, the higher the cultivation base, the greater the effect of spiritual power, but it is only limited to the night of the full moon."

Upon hearing this, Tangning couldn't help feeling a little horrified, and blurted out, "So, apart from the night of the full moon, when you lost consciousness, you also shared meals with monks."

Xu Ru bowed his head and said: "The temptation to increase spiritual power is too great. My biggest wish in this life is to build a foundation smoothly. Anyway, it's already like this."

"How many times have you tried such a thing?" Jiang Yuhuan asked
"Only once, that kind of feeling is not good, but for foundation building. Later, I found that the spiritual power did not increase, so I stopped."

"Since I have eaten it once, when the moon is full, will I still be unconscious and have symptoms?"

"Yes."

The three of them interrogated for a long time, digging into the bottom of every detail, and finally Jiang Yuhuan took Xu Ru there. The ability of corpse insects on his body has been strengthened.

Based on the information and portraits provided by Xu Ru, Tang Ning sent orders to various intelligence stations, asking them to do their best to detect the whereabouts of Suzaku, Baihu, and Xuanwu.

Guan Sheng stayed in Tianling Mountain and directed his disciples to go to various places to search for these three people. There are corpse insects in these people, and they would eat monks every night of the full moon.

Half a month later, Jiang Yuhuan returned to Tianling Mountain and told the two of the changes in Xu Ru's body: "We dissected his body, found the corpse worms hidden in his flesh and blood, and found the corpse worms and worms in his body. The corpse worms in the corpse worm hosts we found before are quite different."

"We call it the second-generation corpse worm. They are larger in size and stronger in attachment. I think his ability has been improved, which must be related to the second-generation corpse worm. I consider that this person is still useful to us, no Do it rashly, otherwise, once the corpse worm is pulled out of his body, he will die instantly."

"The second generation of corpse worms?" Tangning mused, "Is this the evolution of the corpse worms themselves? Or was it someone else's manipulation?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "There is no possibility of autonomous evolution, time and conditions are not allowed. According to Xu Ru, he was possessed by corpse insects three years ago. In such a short period of time, it is impossible for corpse insects to evolve autonomously. In addition There are also not enough conditions, he was at the tenth level of Qi refining before, and now his cultivation level has not increased at all, and the corpse insects cannot be replenished with spiritual power, so they will not evolve for no reason."

"That is to say, the people behind the scenes cultivated a new generation of corpse insects." Guan Sheng said
"It should be like this, and we found a very interesting thing, there is no sensory connection between the second generation of corpse insect hosts and the first generation of corpse insect hosts."

"Oh? Why is that?" Tangning asked

"We speculate that the mother body is different. Since these corpse worms were bred by others, there must be a mother body. The mother body of the first generation corpse worm and the second generation corpse worm should be independent individuals, so there is no reaction between the two. It seems Put my blood and your blood in a bowl, although it looks the same, but the two kinds of blood cannot be mixed together."

Tangning suddenly said, "It's no wonder that the leader of the Immortal Sect is looking for a second-generation corpse worm host. It turns out he can't sense the first-generation corpse worm host."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "The ability of the second-generation corpse worm has greatly increased. It not only has an immortal body, but also has a strong self-healing ability. At the same time, we found that it can save and convert spiritual power, which is an ability that the first generation corpse worm does not have. This It is also the reason why they eat monks, while the first generation of corpse insect hosts only feed on babies."

Guan Sheng said: "Save to convert spiritual power? How about a conversion method?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "After the corpse worm eats the monk's body, it will store its flesh and blood in the body. When necessary, it will be used as its own offering to provide spiritual power to the corpse worm host. The reason why his strength soared is because of these reasons. The flesh and blood of the monks that he usually devoured were stored in the corpse worm, when he fully activated his spiritual power, the corpse worm was sensed and fed back to him."

"At this time, the corpse worm has awakened and controlled his body, so he will lose consciousness. Once the stored spiritual power is exhausted, the corpse worm will lurk, so he suddenly fainted."

"I believe that this is also the reason why Xuanwu's spiritual power soared after eating the body of the foundation-building cultivator, and then he built the foundation. He has already stored enough spiritual power in his body, and the corpse insects can't bear it. Feed it back to him, yes With a sudden increase in spiritual power, directly break through the foundation."

"The time difference between the first generation of corpse worms and the second generation of corpse worms is only five or six years. The second generation of corpse worms appeared three years ago, and the first generation of corpse worms was first eight or nine years ago. In just a few years, the people behind the scenes have cultivated a new generation If it continues to develop like this, I think there will be three or four generations of corpse worms."

Guan Sheng pondered and said: "If you say that, the leader of the Immortal Cult should not be behind the scenes."

"That's natural. According to Xu Ru, the phoenix is ​​also the host of the second generation of corpse insects. How could the real helmsman turn himself into this inhuman and ghostly appearance, but he must know more about the inside story."

Tangning wondered, "Why did he find so many corpse insect hosts and release them all?"

"Maybe it's for observation! If you want to improve the species of corpse insects, you need a lot of data on the hosts of corpse insects. The people behind the scenes want to see their living conditions under normal conditions. The second generation of corpse insects is much different than the first generation." The change not only enhanced the ability, but also made it more stable. Some hosts of the first generation of corpse worms often died violently, but the second generation did not find this problem."

Tangning said, "What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "Suzaku and Baihu followed Fenghuang later than Xu Ru, even if they were captured, it would not be very valuable. Since we know that Xuanwu is in Xichuan, we can use the mutual induction characteristics of corpse insects to go to Xichuan and capture Xuanwu first. Follow the clues to find the Phoenix."

Guan Shengdao: "Xi Chuan is within the sphere of influence of the Corpse Puppet Sect, so we need to be more careful. There are too many people and it will be easy to be exposed. In my opinion, only Junior Brother Jiang and I will go, and Junior Brother Tang will sit here to capture Suzaku and Baihu."

"Okay." Tangning nodded, then remembered something, and asked again, "It will be a full moon night in a few days, what should we do with Xu Ru? Will it be inconvenient for you to take him with you?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "When we arrive in Xichuan, just grab any disciple of the Demon Sect. It just so happens that I can also observe the changes of the corpse insects in his body on the night of the full moon."

Guan Sheng frowned and said: "There is one thing to beware of. Xuanwu's cultivation is higher than his, so he will be the first to sense him."

"He can only feel the same kind. He doesn't know that Xu Ru is already in our hands. Maybe he thinks it is another kind who will take the initiative to meet him. We can capture him in one fell swoop."

The three of them agreed that Jiang Yuhuan and Guan Sheng left the wooden house and escorted Xu Ruhua to the west.

...............

The moon is shining brightly, and the stars are shining brightly.

Wu Bin left the Tianxiang Pavilion and left with Yufei sword. As usual, he was humming a little tune, ready to go to the gambling house to show off his skills.

After walking for more than an hour, suddenly, a figure chased after him from behind.

At first Wu Bin didn't care, thinking it was a passer-by accompanying him, but when he turned around a mountain, the other party was still chasing after him, and flew away with all his strength.

The distance between the two was less than ten feet, Wu Bin was about to stop to ask questions, but the man behind him pulled out a black long knife, which turned into several feet in size, and slashed straight at him.

Wu Bin was startled, he pulled out a shield with his left hand, and put it in front of him.

There was a "bang", the shield clicked, and there was a slight cracking sound.

He was terrified in his heart, and hurriedly fled backwards, the man Yujian caught up behind him, and the long knife slashed at him again.

There were two loud bangs in a row, and the shield couldn't support it and shattered.

Wu Bin's liver and gallbladder were torn, and he fled forward desperately. Suddenly he saw a figure approaching with a sword. He saw the person clearly, as if he had grasped a straw, he shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoist Yu, save me."

The man was stunned for a moment, seeing a masked man with big shoulders and round waist chasing behind him, he hurried forward, and was about to speak to persuade him, but the masked man didn't say anything, the black knife cut towards him.

Seeing this, the man surnamed Yu took out a pair of golden maces in his hands, and raised them against the wind to hold the black sword, gold and black intertwined in one place.

Seeing this, Wu Bin also pulled out a silver needle and shot towards the man, but the man did not block or evade, allowing the silver needle to pass through his chest, and a thumb-sized hole was pierced through his chest. Wound.

Before the two of them were happy, they saw that the chest was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and on the other side, the light of the golden mace became weaker, and the light of the black knife burst into bloom.

The man surnamed Yu only has the ninth level of Qi refining, while the big man opposite has the tenth level of Qi refining, and the golden mace in his hand is no more than a top-grade magical weapon, while the black knife is indeed a top-grade spiritual weapon.

The man surnamed Yu saw that he was so weird, and he had the intention of retreating. He and Wu Binben were good friends. They didn't know the situation before, and they heard him call for help, so they came to persuade him.

I don't know that this big guy is so difficult to deal with, and now seeing his strange kungfu, I don't want to risk my life for Wu Bin.

At that moment, his body retreated violently, he didn't even care about the golden mace, he turned his head and fled away.

The golden mace lost its owner's spiritual power, its radiance was greatly reduced, and it fell to the ground. Wu Bin was taken aback when he saw him running away so resolutely, and hurried away.
