Immortal Formula

   Chapter 488 The Truth

Everyone agreed with Gu Yan's opinion, and admired her courage to make a decisive decision at this time. The initiative was caught in her hands before she knew it, Gu Yan said: "There is still a sect that has not been found, we need to do it as soon as possible. We need to find them first. Since Sect Master Ji was discovered here, I don’t think they are far from here. We are here as the center, and then we search the outside in a fan shape, layer by layer, in three directions. The four of us Three of them will lead a team each, and the other will stay here, guard the injured, and send a signal when they find it, what do you think?"

   Everyone around here has no opinion. For example, Tan Zicheng also looks at Gu Yan with admiration. She doesn't care about Xiuwei. With her decisiveness and calmness, she is already worthy of being the leader of a faction. Such talents, no matter where they go, will be scrambled by various families. He couldn't help but feel a little regret in his heart. He heard that she was also a loose cultivator. Why can't the Tan family recruit such talents? Of course, if he knew that the Wei family in the southeast of the power had also recruited Gu Yan, but she ignored it, he would probably be able to balance his mind.

After the discussion was over, the rest of the cultivators were summoned, and the decision was made. The entire Dongyang County was dominated by the three major forces. Naturally, no one dared to disagree with what they agreed upon, although Hu Zhiyuan mumbled secretly. A few words, but did not dare to doubt their decision.

   So Gu Yan was guarded here, and the remaining Nanxianzi, Han Wanru, and Tan Zicheng each led a team, and eight or nine cloud boats flew out in three teams, and searched away in a fan shape.

Gu Yanduan sat here, and he took care of the three wounded. Cumulon Peak and He Yingtan also sent a disciple to stay here, silently standing beside her, Lin Zitong and Zhu Ying, Then he pressed the sword on both sides and looked around vigilantly, for fear that some enemy would rush out again.

Gu Yan smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, even if there is an enemy, he only dares to spy on us in the dark, and he will not openly come out in broad daylight. Those who do tricks can only act in the dark! "After seeing Ji Quan's injury, she actually had a conjecture in her heart, but she felt that there were many doubts that needed to be confirmed, so she didn't bring it up, but she was already prepared.

At this time, Zhu Ying said, "Uncle Master, look!" Gu Yan looked up and saw a fire rising into the sky in the southeast. This was the signal they had agreed to in advance. Gu Yan got up and said, "I must have discovered something there. Now, let's go and see!"

   She urged Jin Yun Die to rush over quickly, and found that Fairy Nan was leading the team all the way. At this moment, they looked at the three corpses on the rock below with icy faces. This time, they are all dead. Similar to Ji Quan's injuries, they all have scars on their necks and their bodies are cold, but they are not like Ji Quan, who can hang their breath before dying. People are all disciples of Foundation Establishment. Gu Yan saw something strange, "Who is leading the team?"

Yang Zhen said: "This is a disciple of the Huaying faction. The leader of the team is an elder from the faction. When we found this place, the three disciples were exhausted, but the elder disappeared. There is no sign of a fight."

   Gu Yan pondered: "So, that elder was also attacked suddenly? It's just that he was not like Sect Master Ji, but was captured and taken away, but there is no trace here..."

   Fairy Nan suddenly said: "Elder Yun's cultivation is quite high, similar to mine, so he shouldn't die easily, maybe he was caught off guard and was injured."

   After hearing her words, Gu Yan knew that Cumyun Peak and the Huaying faction should have a good relationship. She still remembered that Elder Yun, who was also a very elegant woman, and it seemed that she had a good relationship with Nanxianzi. She frowned immediately. Obviously, there was a question. Why were all the people who were attacked by Cumulus Peak, or a sect that had a deep intersection with Cumulus Peak?

At this time, the other two groups of people saw the signal, and they came one after another. When they saw the three bodies lying there, they couldn't help being shocked. Tan Zicheng and the Huaying faction were also familiar with each other. Furious, he shouted angrily, "What's going on here?"

  Han Wanru is much calmer than him, and the Han family has little to do with the Huaying faction. She frowned and said, "Is the injury the same as before?"

Gu Yan came a step earlier and had already seen the injuries of these three disciples. They were similar to the two disciples he met last night, but today Ji Quan's two disciples had similar injuries and were misjudged as It was the monster who was injured. If it wasn't for Gu Yan who rescued Ji Quan forcibly, and then used a silver needle to pull out the yin evil spirit in his body, he would have been misjudged as well, but now, it is certain that someone is playing tricks on it.

At this time, the sky was past noon, the sun was in the middle of the sky, the strong sunlight shone down, and countless mists rose up on the ground, and the clouds were steaming and the clouds were shining. It was like being in a splendid sea of ​​clouds. , five corpses, plus two missing names, but no one can feel comfortable.

At this time, all the sects who came to Lancang Valley have gathered, and the two missing sects, as expected, are either missing or unknown, or they are dead. After the trial is over, everyone can no longer be separated, and they must act together until the ban is lifted outside, and then they are released. As for the ranking of this trial, it is also recognized that the ranking should be based on the previous ranking. Under the suppression of the three major forces, Gu Yan has no objection, and no one else will have any objection. For those sects whose strength was inexplicably damaged, it was a compensation.

Now that the situation is like this, Gu Yan naturally won't mention the matter of going to Panyunji again, she pondered and said: "There are still seven days before the ban starts, and we have to advance and retreat together in these seven days. I think everyone will not bear it. I can’t stop being lonely, it’s a big deal as a retreat. As for the monsters here, it’s better not to provoke them easily, I don’t know what the danger will be. We’ll just stay at ease for these seven days.”

Headed by Nanxianzi and Han Tan, they all agreed with her opinion, and no one else could raise any objections, so they found the most peaceful place to camp in the Lancang Valley, and put the remaining eight or nine ships. The boats gathered together, and then several cultivators worked together to clean up the rock below and use it as a habitat, so that Yunzhou was surrounded by the surrounding area, and the shifts were changed every six hours to ensure that there were people on duty at all times.

These people are accustomed to practice on weekdays. After some people retreat for more than ten years, a few days will naturally pass, and three days have passed in a blink of an eye. There is no abnormality in these three days, even if the moonlight at night It was as bright as water, but I never saw the vicious monster that appeared that day.

In the past few days, in addition to being on duty, when Gu Yan had nothing to do, he drew out the graphics of the monsters he saw that day, and then searched in order in the books he carried, but maybe it was what he saw that day. Not completely, although some ancient beasts were found to be similar in appearance, they were not sure which one they were.

In the past few days, she has also taken the opportunity to point out what Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong have learned. Under the guidance of Gu Yan over the past year, they have devoted themselves to cultivation, no longer blindly and diligently, but have turned to solidify their own foundation, and do it now. The breakthrough also felt like a natural progression. After this trial was over, Gu Yan could start preparing for them to refine the weapons. Not only these two, the other disciples of Bixia Sect also have to strive to be able to use a magic weapon. Speaking of which, even in a place like Cangwu, which is a place for cultivating immortals, there is no guarantee that every foundation building in the sect can be used. Disciples, all of them use magic tools. After successful foundation building, many people are still using the spiritual tools they used in the previous Qi refining period. When the opportunity comes, they will be able to find the magic tools that they can use. Gu Yan plans to go back to open the furnace this time, and will first refine it for more than a dozen times. At least one of the disciples who succeeded in foundation building this time must be assigned one piece first. As for Gan Biwu and those elders, Gu Yan’s current level is not enough to refine such a powerful magic weapon for people to use.

   Gu Yan was quite self-aware of his own refining techniques. Back then, the nine-leaf lotus platform, which was made with such powerful materials as the Purple Flame Crystal Soul and the nine-handled lotus saber, was easily damaged when passing through the Ruins. Compared with the study of alchemy and formation, Gu Yan had The art of refining can only be said to be mediocre. Of course, with her "plain" technique, it is more than enough to be an ordinary craftsman. Even in Cangwu, someone like her, who combines the three unique skills of alchemy, tool refining, and formation, is the object of competition among the major sects.

This is the night of the fourth day, and in three more days, the ban outside will be opened. In these days, the three major forces have also passed some messages to the outside world through their own methods, but under the shroud of the ban , The method of transmitting the message is extremely simple, and can only describe what happened in general, but the detailed situation is not clear. When the outside world knows that they have controlled the situation, they are not in a hurry to open the ban. The ban covering Lancang Valley is not easy to open once. If it is opened in advance, it will cost a lot of resources. The heads of the various factions and the county governor have decided to wait for seven days before opening.

  Gu Yan raised her head and looked at the moonlight like water. It was her turn to be on duty that night. She sat on the golden cloud plate above and looked down slowly with her eyes. There were no problems in the past three days, but the hidden worries in her heart did not subside. Is it really as she thought, did that person die?

Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong stood behind her on the left and right, their four eyes watching from side to side, vigilantly checking for the surrounding movement, at this moment, a cloud suddenly floated in the sky, and the originally bright water was blown away. The moonlight obscured most of it, and the strong lunar power suddenly weakened to less than 30% of the previous one.

  Gu Yan raised her eyebrows. According to her previous estimation, there will be a rare phenomenon of "Tianxuan swallowing the moon" today, and the power of Taiyin will be reduced to the weakest. So, will anyone take this opportunity to activate it? Therefore, after being seated, she deliberately changed classes with Fairy Nan, and it was her turn to be on duty that night, but it was very calm down below, and there was no abnormality.

Moyan was ordered by her to hide in the tent and not allowed to come out. If what she expected was true, then before facing the enemy, she might not have the spare time to take care of this little guy. For the sake of insurance, Gu Yan specially asked Xiao Jiang to go with her. Be a companion to keep her safe.

  Zhuying also felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, will something happen tonight?"

  Gu Yan showed a faint smile, "Maybe so, just wait!" Lin Zitong suddenly touched Gu Yan's elbow lightly, "Look!"

   On the rocks below, there are more than ten tents, all of which are arranged by monks. Naturally, they are not as simple as ordinary people, and some are quite gorgeous, but the east and west are not systematic. The periphery is surrounded by a dozen cloud boats, and these three days everyone has spent the past three days meditating and practicing. At this time, in a tent, a figure came out lightly. He was already on the edge of the tent, and was walking carefully towards the outside. In a blink of an eye, he passed through the cloud boat and walked to the periphery.

A faint brilliance shrouded his body, and the moonlight casted it down. When it reached him, he would suddenly avoid him. Only a silhouette-like shadow could be seen. Zhu Ying covered his mouth with his hands in surprise. When he turned around, he found that Gu Yan was holding a Zhu Yan mirror. Although the moonlight could not illuminate him, the brilliance from the Zhu Yan mirror could clearly illuminate the outline of his entire body. "He... actually has the art of invisibility?"

Gu Yan said lightly: "He should be wearing something that can be invisible and can escape the eyes of ordinary monks, but there is nothing unusual. This kind of blindfold can only be confused for a while, and it can't be done with people, otherwise it will be Being exposed, in the past two days, it is probably not the first time that he has gone out to meet people, let's follow him and see what he is doing!"

   Her toes lightly moved, and Jin Yun Dish moved with her mind, quickly rising into the clouds, and then slowly moving over. When they were in front of the person, although they were already standing at a height of more than ten meters in the sky, separated by thick clouds, but seeing the person's face, the two women covered their mouths in surprise, but Gu Yan's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm. That smile seemed to be expected.

   The man moved as lightly as a cat, and walked hundreds of paces quickly before stopping in front of a hill. Half of the rock on the hill stretched out flat, strips of molten rock and stalactite hung down, and dark green liquid tickled down, giving off a stench. But the man didn't care. He glanced around, realizing that there was no one there, and said in a low voice, "Is the son here?"

He shouted three times in a row, and a ghostly figure turned out from behind the rock. His whole body was covered with a black cloth, and he couldn't see his face at all. His voice was vague like a ghost crying, and he shouted in a low voice. : "What are you doing here, I didn't say it before, and now you're not in touch with me at will, what's the matter, can't he still be the master?"

The man turned his head at this moment, and the faint light from the Zhu Yanjing mirror shone on half of his face, and he still didn't realize it. It was at this moment that Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong were surprised when they saw his face. Incomparable. This man who sneaked in from the cultivator's residence in the middle of the night was Hu Zhiyuan, the head of Heyingtan!

His tall figure was slightly bowed at this time, with a seemingly flattering smile on his face, "Sir, I'm just worried, the ban will be opened in three days, and if the county governor opens the sky, then our business But I can't hide it completely, can you give me a guarantee that after He Yingtan goes out, I will be able to leave Dongyang County and come under the control of Yunyang City directly?"

The young master was very impatient, he whispered: "These things, I didn't tell you before, naturally I won't deceive you, now the clouds are chaotic, the big competition is coming, it's easy to do things. Very, you don't have to worry, such a big family will deceive you, a small He Yingtan?"

Hu Zhiyuan smiled humbly and said: "The villain naturally dare not, but now He Yingtan has reached a dead end, and there is no room to retreat, only two disciples have died, and the blood has already been invested, for the sake of the sect's century-old plan, I really don’t dare to be cautious. Young Master has made an appointment, but he has not been willing to start it. I can’t receive the message, so how can I be in a hurry.”

The young master patiently said: "Don't worry, it will take less than a day or two, and it will finally be launched. The plan will not change, but the time will be adjusted slightly. For the sake of safety. In addition..." He said in a deep voice, "You have to be careful about that woman from the Bixia Sect. She is not on duty today, so don't let her see any traces."

Hu Zhiyuan smiled, "Young master, don't worry, I listened to your family's instructions and deliberately avoided her time on duty, and at the beginning, I also deliberately angered her and acted like a slump and frivolity, I believe she will not suspicious of me..."

Before he could finish his words, the young master waved his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice, "You deliberately angered her and embarrassed her?" Before Hu Zhiyuan could answer, he hit his forehead hard and said, "Oops! I am afraid that she will see the clues, fortunately, she is not on duty tonight, otherwise your hidden **** jade will be able to deceive her eyes, you go back quickly, in addition to waiting for my subordinates to contact you, Otherwise, don't come out again, remember!"

  Hu Zhiyuan said stunned: "Young master, isn't that the case? Although that woman is powerful in cultivation, she is barely comparable to the people of the three major sects, so why is she afraid of her like a snake?"

The son gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know how powerful she is, do you really think that the Bixia Sect is harmless to humans and animals who occupied Bixia Mountain and peacefully handed over the territory with the Danyang faction? I dare to say that if it wasn't for her to decide behind her back. If so, the little Bixia Sect can't have such great courage and means!" He was halfway through, and suddenly shouted sharply: "No, since she has noticed you long ago, she should have targeted you for the first time. So, it will still be put on today?"

He suddenly took out a bronze mirror in his hand. The mottled and broken patterns on it almost made people couldn't help throwing it away. When he took a picture of it in the air, a snow-white light was emitted, which matched the Zhu Yan mirror in Gu Yan's hand. The light that was sprinkled collided, and there was a sound of "silk", and a cloud of blue smoke rose quickly, and instantly cut through the thick cloud layer. exposed in front of everyone.

Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong tensed their faces, holding the law enforcement device, standing by Gu Yan's side, they were very nervous, but Gu Yan was very relaxed, she lowered the Jin Yun dish slightly and smiled. Said: "Brother Zhan, it's been a few years since Ziwugu parted, is it still okay?"

   The man snorted and simply took off the black veil covering his face. As expected, it was Zhancheng, who had been silent for a long time after parting with Gu Yan in Meridian Valley. "I knew that once I met you, I'm afraid there would be no good things. Why, do you still have to embarrass me today?"

Gu Yan thought that she had dealt with him a lot of times, but it was mostly intrigue, so she couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, I have a fate with Brother Zhan, and we meet every time I go, it's just in the Meridian Valley. At that time, I was frightened by you and didn't dare to talk to you about anything." Her voice turned cold for a moment, "Since you know that I am in Dongyang County and Bixia Sect, why do you want to live here again? What's going on?"

Hu Zhiyuan was already frightened to the core at this time. He and Zhancheng joined forces to seek the lives of these cultivators. Once it was revealed, in Dongyang County, he would not even be able to compare to a rat crossing the street. Quick end after killing. Seeing that Zhancheng still had time to talk to Gu Yan, he couldn't help sneering: "Young Master, what more to say, since he has already found out, then simply kill the people and start it in advance. In Lancang Valley, I'm still afraid of these few. The girls turned upside down?"

Gu Yan's face turned cold, and she hummed, "Is there room for you to speak?" She raised the Zhuyan mirror in her hand, and the twelve animal heads on it roared and emitted green energy, and the twelve green energy lines were like twelve green energy. Like a dragon, it flew down with its claws and claws, and instantly fixed the twelve directions around Hu Zhiyuan's body. Just as Hu Zhiyuan was about to make a move, he felt a murderous aura coming towards his face, and all the surrounding directions were instantly captured. Locked to death, a murderous intent hit his heart, Hu Zhiyuan's whole body was shaken, he didn't dare to move, he only stared at Gu Yan with resentful eyes.

Gu Yan showed a sneer and said, "You caused a riot among the monks under the guise of your disciple's disappearance, and you want to take advantage of the chaos. If I am not mistaken, the disciple of He Yingtan and the disciple of Jiyun Peak were injured. , it should be all your handwriting, right? You thought that if your own disciples were also injured at the same time, no one would suspect you, and then secretly trapped and killed the disciples of each faction one by one. The missing disciples, the two heads One of them is seriously injured and can't wake up, and the other has not been seen until now, so it must have something to do with you, right? In the dangerous place of Lancang Valley, you have internal support, enough to turn the world upside down, but I don't know why, you didn't start it right away , but it has been delayed until now?"
