Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 334 Helmsman ([-])

Tang Ning and Guan Sheng looked at each other with a bit of surprise in their eyes, but Jiang Yuhuan was expressionless, not surprised at all, presumably he had received the news long ago.

Tangning didn't expect the sect to have such a thought in private, keeping it from them all the time, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

The helmsman behind this scene is quite mysterious, able to master such mysterious techniques and refine undead monsters like corpse insect hosts.

If the sect can learn the secret of this technique from him, and study and optimize it, the improvement of the entire sect's combat power will be limitless.

All in all, this man is of great value.

Guan Sheng said: "Why didn't you say it earlier? If we had known about this earlier, Brother Tang didn't need to tell Shui Yunzong. With the strength of the four of us, we are enough to capture Wei An."

Yin Qingyuan sighed: "If you say too much, you will lose it. This matter is privately mentioned by the head of the sect. If everyone knows it, it will affect the relationship with Shuiyunzong. It will not look good on the surface. I originally planned to arrest the corpse alone. The mastermind behind the worm host, and then sent to the sect without anyone knowing it, and then came back to join you, so the Shuiyunzong will not know about it."

"I didn't expect that I couldn't succeed, but you found new clues, which led to Wei An being escorted to Shuiyunzong, and it was not too late. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, I had to be honest with you and send the head Inform in private."

Guan Sheng said: "But now that Wei An has been arrested in Shuiyun Sect, we can't snatch him out!"

Tang Ning said, "Wei An is only suspected to be the helmsman behind the scenes, and he may not be the real one. Didn't we find evidence of corpse insects in his cave? In my opinion, it is very likely that the wrong person was arrested this time. I always feel that the arrest was too smooth and did not conform to my previous impression of the helmsman behind the scenes. This person should be a very cautious and cunning person."

"Although Wei An's whereabouts are strange, Shui Yunzong's ability to find his hiding place so quickly shows that he is not very cautious in his actions. In addition, I met him in the former, and he knew that I was following him, but he didn't have a life-and-death relationship. You feel innocent!"

"Besides, as Shui Yunzong said, we have not encountered the puppet corpse host refined by the people behind the scenes. He can place two corpse puppets in the abandoned cave, so how could he not increase the defense in the cave where he practiced? What about power!"

Yin Qingyuan said: "Junior Brother Tang's words are exactly what I want, and I think so too. Although this Wei An is in the late stage of foundation establishment, he doesn't seem to have much ability, and he hasn't found any corpses in his cave. Therefore, I suspect that Wei An is not the mastermind behind the scenes we are looking for, so I will inform you of the master's order, so as not to miss the opportunity in the future."

"Now we are only waiting for news from Shuiyunzong. If Wei An is the host of the corpse insect, there is nothing we can do. If there is someone else, this kind of thing will not happen next time."

Guan Sheng said: "But now we are doing our own thing and we are in different teams. If we have any clues, how should we contact them?"

"This is easy. You can first set up a code word and send a letter through the Xuanying of the Shuiyun Sect. As long as this word appears in the letter, it means that you have found a clue. You should find an excuse to get rid of everyone in the Shuiyun Sect."

Several people discussed for a while and dispersed.

A few days passed by. On this day, while Tangning was practicing behind closed doors in her room, a Shuiyun Sect disciple shouted from outside, "Senior Tang, Master Tao, please go and discuss matters."

Tang Ning left the room and followed him into the main hall. Yin Qingyuan and Jiang Yuhuan had already arrived. They nodded slightly and took their seats. After a while, Guan Sheng also arrived.

Tao Siming said: "Fellow Taoists, I invite you to come here because I just received a letter from Xuanying from our sect. After several days of interrogation and review, it has been confirmed that Wei An is not the perpetrator of the Immortal Essence Source."

"The reason why he bought the Yin Soul Orb at the auction, and because of the strong yin energy in the cave, where forty-nine corpses of boys and girls were hidden, is because of the unique exercises he practiced. Shixiong and others have already left Zongmen, if you want to arrive at our place tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will discuss the next move."

For some reason, Tangning suddenly wanted to know what happened to Wei An, so she asked, "Since we have confirmed that Wei An is not behind the scenes, how will your sect deal with him?"

Tao Siming said: "It was not mentioned in the letter, but he was stubborn, refused to cooperate with the investigation, and even attacked Chief monk Ben. Just for this alone, he must be imprisoned in a prison for dozens of years at least!"

Tangning remained silent, feeling a little bit of guilt in his heart. If it wasn't for his own fault, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Pitiful for a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, who worked hard for more than a hundred years, and was ruined once. He will spend the rest of his life in darkness. Spent in a prison of nothingness.

There is nothing wrong with Shui Yunzong's actions. They cannot ignore a potential threat. The two sides have formed a relationship. From the perspective of the sect's interests, no matter whether he is guilty or not, he is the target to be solved.

It is the safest way to imprison him for the rest of his life and keep him in his hands. Otherwise, if he indulges himself, it will be a big trouble if he is promoted to Jindan in the future and hates Shuiyunzong.

If Wei Anruo accepted the investigation honestly from the very beginning, maybe it would not be the case, but he didn't want to be slaughtered and become a fish on the board, and pinned all his hopes on Shui Yunzong's "morality".Therefore, he chose to rely on his own strength to put all his eggs in one basket and fight hard, but in exchange for this ending.

But having said that, even if he obeys and cooperates, Shui Yunzong may not let him go easily, the crime is easy to find, the corpses of forty-nine virgins in his cave are the evidence.

Unless he has high-level relationships within the Shuiyun Sect, he can be safe, but he is a casual cultivator, even if he is a late-stage monk, how can he get acquainted with the high-level Shuiyun Sect.

The next day, Shui Yunzong and his party arrived at the temple, and after discussing with everyone, they decided to investigate the suspects according to the previous arrangement.

Guan Sheng followed Nangong Feiyue and Liu Zilan to the northern region of Qi to search for clues to the host of corpse insects. The man surnamed Shi and Yin Qingyun continued to investigate the casual cultivators in the later stage of foundation establishment.

Tang Ning, Jiang Yuhuan, and Jiang Yunsheng searched for clues in the southern area, while Tao Siming stayed behind at the Taoist temple to make contact.

………………

Dark clouds cover the moon, rain pours down at night, silver arcs flicker in mid-air, and thunder and lightning continue.

The Qilian Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and the mountains are rugged. There are countless poisonous insects and beasts, and there are obstacles surrounding them. During the flashes of thunder and lightning, two rays of light passed by and fell into the jungle, revealing the figures of a man and a woman. .

The man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks about forty years old, while the woman is dignified and beautiful, with a frosty and indifferent face.

The two of them looked around vigilantly, but they were both far-sighted and didn't notice any movement.

"Is it here?" the man asked

"It should be. The green-eyed dog is getting more and more restless, which means that it is getting closer to the target." The woman said, patted the spirit beast bag on her waist, and the red light flashed. The big green-eyed dog leaped out, with its orange-red nose twitching, and rushed towards the northeast.

The two followed behind without haste.

In the dimly lit cave, a man in a black robe and a bamboo hat was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, and in the corner lay a young man with a fair complexion, breathing evenly, as if he was just asleep. There are broken debris and bones everywhere.

All of a sudden, the man sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, only heard a loud "Peng", the rock outside the cave cracked, and a ray of light shattered the mountain wall and shot at him. Finally, upon closer inspection, it was a three-foot-long silver sword.

The black-robed man's eyes were fixed, he flipped his left hand, and took out a piece of white jade the size of a palm.

The white jade rose against the wind and stood in front of him. The two hit each other, and the rays of light intertwined, illuminating the entire dark cave like daytime.

Between the silver sword and the white jade, a gust of cold air rushed to the face, and the entire cave wall and the ground were covered with a thick layer of ice.

The cold air surged into his body, and the black-robed man turned into an ice sculpture in an instant, and the entire cave was frozen.

Without the support of the master's spiritual power, Bai Yu's radiance was greatly reduced, and he was on the verge of falling.

Kacha, there was a slight sound, and cracks appeared on the ice sculpture, spreading along the entire cave. With a "boom", the ice layer in the cave shattered, and the man in black robe burst into golden light all over his body. With a wave of his hand, the white jade shot back.

The owner of the silver-white long sword also took back the long sword.

Outside the cave, a man and a woman guarded the exit side by side, and a big red dog barked behind him: "Who are you? Why are you arresting the descendants of my clan? What is your intention?"

The man in the black robe in the cave didn't answer, but just snorted coldly, and actually attacked the two of them first.

But seeing his figure flashed, his whole body burst into golden light, and he attacked the two people outside the cave. The distance between the two was only thirty or forty feet away.

Seeing his attack, the two retreated slightly. The silver-white long sword in the man's hand turned into a long sword and slashed down. The woman clasped her hands together, forming a white ice blade between her palms, and shot towards him.

The black-robed man raised his hand, and stretched out a golden bone hand from the wide sleeve robe, but there was no flesh and blood between his palm and arm.

With a cracking sound, the silver-white long sword slashed down, and was firmly grasped by his five fingers, unable to move.

The silver-white long sword burst into light and shook violently, but it couldn't break free from the shackles of his five fingers, which were as tough as dragon claws.

The man outside the cave couldn't help turning pale with shock when he saw this. Although his silver-white long sword is not a rare item, it is also a solid middle-grade spiritual weapon, but now it is so easily subdued by this man. The toughness can be imagined.

Looking at how lightly he lifted the weight, it was obvious that he hadn't tried his best. The monk's physical body could be refined to such a degree, which he had never heard of in his life.

At the same time, the white skates condensed in the woman's palms also attacked one after another. The man in black dodged at all costs, and the ice skates hit his chest and abdomen directly. The black-robed man was also covered in frost, freezing his whole body in an instant.

The icicle shattered, and the black-robed man broke through the ice, and went straight to the two people at the exit of the cave.

The two of them knew that his physical body was tough, so how dare they block him, the figure flew back, the woman flipped her hand, a black shield swelled in the wind, and blocked in front of her.

The black-robed man flitted past the entrance of the cave, and without a pause, he changed his position and fled away in a flash, even escaping.
