After entering the world of cultivating immortals, I have been living and sleeping

The door opened from the inside, revealing Gu Xueran's face.

"Come in."

Gu Xueran was not surprised by her arrival. After closing the door, she said directly, "It seems that you have something to ask me."

Ye Pianran nodded, "That's true. Regarding the secret art of blood, I wonder if senior sister can tell me in detail?"

"You want to ask about the blood sacrifice?" Gu Xueran glanced at her and smiled, "I really can't hide anything from you."

"Sister, you are so complimentary."

In fact, it was not that difficult to guess that Gu Xueran was hiding and deliberately not mentioning the blood sacrifice. It was just that she happened to have some guesses in her mind, so she came over to ask and share it with Gu Xueran.

"Ancient books record that in ancient times, the use of bloodline secrets to perform blood sacrifices was a common method. It is for this reason that bloodline secrets are classified as forbidden techniques. There is one most important condition for using this secret technique, and that is Yes, the blood concentration of the person being treated."

"The higher the bloodline concentration, the more people can be found through bloodline secrets. If you sacrifice all the people with the same bloodline or other species, the power gained will be stronger than using other methods to perform blood sacrifices."

"The power of blood sacrifice is unparalleled in evil. It caused countless bloody storms in ancient times, and some races became extinct and disappeared forever in the long river of time. Now the specific methods of blood sacrifice have been destroyed, and the secrets of blood have also been lost, at least in public. That’s how it goes.”

Gu Xueran paused and concluded, "These are all I know."

"Thank you, senior sister, for your generous teaching." Ye Pianran said, with a thoughtful look on his face, "But, senior sister, do you think this is also the case?"

"There will always be places where the light does not shine, just like a few mice that will always appear out of nowhere in the gutter."

Gu Xueran did not speak bluntly, but instead asked, "Don't you think that the Chen family's matter is related to the blood sacrifice?"

"That's not what I meant." Ye Pianran shook his head. After all, Elder Sui had made this issue very clear during the previous deck meeting.

The reason why she came to Gu Xueran to ask for details was because she recalled the meeting with two children of the Chen family five years ago.

The Five-Star Kuimen Formation is the core secret of the Chen family, but it can only be used below the foundation building stage.

But the problem is that the Chen family has ambitions to climb up. If they want to attack a medium-sized family, they need at least one Nascent Soul Lord to be in charge, plus more than ten Jindan Lords.

A combined attack amplification formation that can only serve low-level disciples, what does it mean to the Chen family?

"I have a hunch that there may be a lot of stories in this." Ye Pianran said seriously, "The Chen family is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and Chen Susu, don't trust it easily."

"This is natural." Gu Xueran nodded, "Fortunately, you were cautious and did not launch this formation together with the Chen family. Otherwise, it seems now that there will be endless troubles."

……

While the two women were having a long talk behind closed doors, they were in Elder Xu's room on the third floor of the giant wheel.

"Old Xu, what do you think of my arrangement?" Elder Sui took a sip of the spiritual tea. "If I tell them the truth too early, I'm afraid it will make people panic."

"You make arrangements." Elder Xu half-closed his eyes, "Zhenjun Baokui also replied."

"Really, that's great. With him here, this trip will be more certain." Elder Sui sighed, "I just hope that when we arrive at Huixing City, the situation will not be too bad."

"It's hard to say. If the disappearances in other places are also related to the Chen family..." Elder Xu shook his head, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

Originally, they all thought that this incident was just a simple internal matter of the Chen family. The reason why the Chen family's children disappeared for no reason was because the Chen family urgently recalled them. As for why Chen Susu was left alone, it was because this girl was not of the Chen family's blood. To be on the safe side, they still activated the sect's intelligence network to capture information around Huixing City for verification.

It takes time to transmit information, and due to various restrictions, the information returned cannot be 100% accurate and can only be approximated.

Even so, when several elders received the news, their expressions changed.

Not only the Chen family in Huixing City, but also within Huixing City and even in several cities around Huixing City, missing persons cases have occurred frequently in recent months. The total number so far has been quite huge.

This news came so coincidentally that people had to connect the two things.

Of course, up to this point, there is still room for change. Even if the disappearances of these people are related to the Chen family, it may not be that serious. The key point still depends on what the Chen family is doing.

Just in case, if they have some thoughts that they shouldn't have...

Although this possibility is not high, we have to guard against it. It is with this in mind that Elder Sui and Elder Xu decided to ask for help from True Lord Baokui.

For some things, just relying on their two golden elixirs is not enough.

But the more people, the better. Strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes. Their trip was actually a private visit incognito. They would not take action rashly unless it was absolutely necessary.

In short, everything must be investigated before making a decision.

……

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye it was one month later.

Halfway through the journey, Elder Sui summoned everyone to start the second deck meeting and spread the news widely.

When they heard that there were missing persons cases in surrounding cities, everyone's expressions changed, but it was not fear, but suspicion and anger.

The young man was so angry that he couldn't bear to see these insulting things, and it was even more unbearable. There were actually people under Tianhengzong who dared to be so rampant.

Most of those who have this idea are low-level disciples who have never left the sect and have never seen the dangers in the world.

Even if there is, it is only to perform some simple tasks and does not involve the complexity of human nature. This is why Elder Sui repeatedly persuaded him to quit beforehand, and the issue of cultivation is secondary.

Fortunately, there are only a few disciples who are so simple. Most of them, especially the four direct disciples, only had their eyes flashing when they heard the words, and there were not many emotional fluctuations.

Ye Pianran and Gu Xueran had already guessed. They exchanged glances and glanced at Chen Susu calmly.

The adopted daughter of the Chen family has been alone for the past month. They both looked for this daughter alone, but did not get any useful information from her.

Not only that, judging from Chen Susu's reaction, there is no flaw. She may really know nothing about the Chen family.

But for some reason, Ye Pianran was always suspicious of her.

If the Chen family is really planning something shady, then they will definitely be extra cautious and avoid all risks as much as possible. When they urgently recall their disciples, there is no reason why they would leave out Chen Susu alone.

Even if Chen Susu is just the adopted daughter of the Chen family, she is still a member of the Chen family. No one can guarantee whether she will inadvertently peek into the Chen family's secrets at some point.

At least it was Ye Pianran who would never let such a loophole go.
