Chapter 13: No Man's Valley
1.
"Schisandra chinensis, prince ginseng, eleutherococcus senticosus, musk, borneol, Suhexiang, benzoin......" Lin Xiao shook his fingers and sniffed the smell of rain and dew that had just been contaminated. "These herbs can stimulate a person's euphoria, and when taken in small amounts, any of them can have a refreshing effect. β
"However, if Your Excellency mixes a large number of these herbs together and takes them internally after boiling, not only will it not have any beneficial effects on the human body, but it will also lead to the death of mental failure in the long run!"
Lin Xiao looked at the middle-aged man's face becoming more and more gloomy, and couldn't help but sneer, and finished the last sentence slowly:
"This is the 'nectar of bliss', right? In that case, you should be - the people of the Hall of Bliss?!"
As soon as Lin Xiao's voice fell, he felt that his body sank, and he saw a sigil slowly rising from under his feet, like an extremely heavy chain, instantly locked on his body, sealing his every move.
"Your Excellency's good means!What?, have you been pierced by me, are you planning to kill people?" Lin Xiao was stunned, and at a glance, he saw the middle-aged man's handprint hidden under the sleeve of his robe, and then smiled.
Rao is like this, but he is also secretly surprised in his heart: this person really doesn't look so simple, this rune is obviously a high-grade seal of the Dao Gate, and it can instantly seal the opponent.
When did the Demon Cult Bliss Hall ever have such a character?
The middle-aged man sneered: "Even so, how can you kill!" Four black-clothed men immediately pounced behind him, and their four hands were divided into palms, fists, claws, and fingers, and they locked on Lin Xiao's four vital points at once.
Lin Xiao was still motionless, not even half of wanting to struggle.
The middle-aged man frowned, and when he saw Lin Xiao raising his head and closing his eyes, looking like he was waiting to die, he couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding in his heart.
But looking left and right, this person from the Ziyang Divine Sect had already been sealed by his own "Prison Seal", and he would definitely not be able to break free in a short period of time, so how could he escape death under the combined attack of the four people? And in the next moment, the middle-aged man immediately realized that he had made a very fatal mistake from the beginning.
The light emitted by Lin Xiao was too dazzling, and from the beginning, he cast a spell to condense the "Nectar of Bliss" in front of everyone, turned water into a blade, and shook the two Dharma Protector Messengers with Ziyang True Qi, and also revealed the identity of the Hall of Bliss. His every movement, even every word in every sentence, captured everyone's attention.
So much so that when they made a move, all the people in the Paradise Hall couldn't help but focus their attacks on him, and in the whole process, they also ignored a person who was even more important than Lin Xiao-
The head of the Aoki family, Yu Yuntong!
This is a trap set by Lin Xiao using himself as bait: he unabashedly showed his strongest side to the group of Paradise Hall, so as to attract all the attention of the other party, and successfully elevated Yu Yuntong from the consciousness of the enemy.
So when Lin Xiao was attacked, there was no need for him to hide at all. Because he has a man by his side who is even stronger than him, enough to help him stop the enemy.
At the same time that the middle-aged man realized this, Yu Yuntong's eyes that had been closed opened open, and the clothes on his body moved without wind. She was still expressionless, but the sharp look in her eyes made the other party shiver fiercely.
"Be careful...... the middle-aged man hurriedly shouted. Before he finished speaking, he himself made a seal with one palm and jumped forward to meet him.
As soon as the middle-aged man's warning came out, Yu Yuntong made a light wave of his sleeves, and his wrist flipped over, and the movement was like a dance. Immediately, a wave of spiritual power fluctuations appeared in the air, swinging a wave of true qi, shaking the four people who pounced on them in one fell swoop.
I only heard a few "Titica", and the arms of the four people were all dislocated, and they all fainted in pain after they landed.
Yu Yuntong didn't wait for a move to get old, he stepped lightly with light steps, his body was light, and in a blink of an eye, he had already met the middle-aged man who had come from the seal. But seeing that she was still raising her sleeves and waving lightly, she swept by, and the palm wind started to disrupt the movement of the seal on the middle-aged man's hand;
"Ni Dress Feather Cloak Three Sections of Brocade?" the middle-aged man couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time took a step back, his left hand blocked and parried, and his right hand quickly drew a scarlet rune, which slapped out from the palm under the sleeve of the robe.
"Master Yu, beware of the charm!" Lin Xiao warned.
Yu Yuntong didn't hear it, and still pointed forward, and the offensive did not change. But when the rune was about to hit her body, suddenly her figure flickered, and she was already a little closer to the middle-aged man, and the speed of her movements was only a matter of moments, and the rune suddenly came behind her, forming an irreversible situation.
The middle-aged man was shocked, and immediately took Yu Yuntong's move, and took advantage of the situation to slide back a few steps, only to feel a burst of qi and blood surging, his throat was sweet, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"It's ...... Wood and Stone Heart!" The middle-aged man stared at Yu Yuntong deadly, "This is the secret skill of the Aoki family, could it be that you are the head of the Aoki family-Yu Yuntong?!"
Yu Yuntong sneered: "Your Excellency has a bit of vision. I think back then, Your Excellency was also a famous figure in the hundred families of Xianmen, and he amazed the world with his one-handed talisman skills, but now, he is hiding in the Demon Sect and fighting for the tiger!"
The middle-aged man said indifferently: "What about the past, what do you do with it? This building is no longer the owner of Yunsheng Jiehai Tower." β
"Yunsheng Jiehai Tower?" Lin Xiao's sigil on his body had been dissolved at this time, and when he suddenly heard this, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "Could it be that you are the owner of Yunsheng Jiehai Mansion back then?"
"Yes, I'm Xi Wanli. The middle-aged man said aloud. "At that time, Yunsheng Jiehailou was retaliated against by the enemy, and it was burned down overnight, and dozens of people in this gate were slaughtered. This seat has escaped this catastrophe with nine deaths and lives, and it is no longer the 'King of Ten Thousand Laws and Runes' back then. β
Lin Xiao sneered: "You used to be a decent person, but you were willing to degenerate into the Demon Sect, and you did such a crazy thing. β
"The people in the Xianmen are just a group of hypocrites who seek fame and reputation. Xi Wanli's tone was full of viciousness, "Back then, they were able to burn our Yunsheng Jiehai Tower with one fire, and sooner or later they would be able to burn down your Aoki family and Ziyang Divine Sect!"
Lin Xiao was about to ask again, but Yu Yuntong suddenly shouted: "Lin Gongzi beware!"
I saw that the previous dancers in Xi Wanli's queue lined up and began to dance again. I saw a burst of blood-red light on Xi Wanli's body, and the whole person began to become ethereal.
Lin Xiao let out a long roar, Hongchen came out in response, the sword was fierce, and a move "Qili Breaking Gold" volleyed into the air, hitting Xi Wanli's neck point, but unexpectedly stopped a foot in front of him, as if hitting an invisible wall.
Xi Wanli's figure was still fading, and the blood light emitted from his body was getting stronger and stronger.
"Not true. Lin Xiao frowned, then thought of something, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Damn! This bastard thing wants to escape!"
Before the words fell, he had already jumped up, and with a wave of his right hand, he made a move of "You Feng Laiyi". Hongchen broke away from the enchantment and flew back into Lin Xiao's hands, and the sword light was dazzling for a while. Yu Yuntong also made a seal with both hands, and used six rays of light to seal Xi Wanli in a corner.
Where the sword fell, it was stormy. Hongchen's sword qi is extremely strong, and Lin Xiao's move is doing his best, and when that move "Youfeng Laiyi" falls, it is a few points faster than the sealing talisman array issued by Yu Yuntong. In an instant, the blood-red enchantment around Xi Wanli's body turned into scattered fragments under the blade.
At the moment when the enchantment was shattered, the array seal sent by Yu Yuntong was still hanging in the sky and had not yet fallen. Xi Wanli glanced up at the array talisman that exuded powerful spiritual power, and suddenly turned sideways to avoid a sword stabbed by Lin Xiao, and at the same time took a step forward and buckled the opponent's neck with his backhand.
Lin Xiao subconsciously stretched out his hand, but was grabbed by Xi Wanli's wrist. He was trying to make a move to "push the boat down the river" to prevent his wrist bones from being broken by the enemy, but the next moment, he suddenly got up with his feet off the ground and fell into the void with Xi Wanli......
Lin Xiao and Xi Wanli disappeared out of thin air together!
Rao is Yu Yuntong can maintain a calm posture at all times, and he can't help but be shocked at this time. After the two disappeared, the women who danced in a certain formation all fell to the ground, bleeding from all their orifices.
Yu Yuntong's brows were even more frowned, she stepped forward to probe the breath of those women, but they were all dead.
"A teleportation circle that uses human life as a medium!" Yu Yuntong didn't have any look on his face, but there was a look of disgust in his eyes. "The dignified generation of Fu Kings is really so willing to be so obscene!"
Just as he was thinking to himself, he suddenly felt someone arrive behind him. Yu Yuntong exhaled slightly, the true qi in her palm was running, and she hid her hand under the sleeve and secretly drew a spell;
However, the expected attack did not come, and what Yu Yuntong heard was the voice of his disciple Hua Qingyan: "Master." β
Yu Yuntong was surprised and delighted, and when she turned around, she saw that there were two people behind Hua Qingyan. The white-clothed young man at the head was handsome, holding a long sword and a hole flute as white as jade pinned to his waist.
"Purple Yang Divine Sect disciples Ling Ying and Li Zhou have seen Yu Dangjia. The young man in white said, "I don't know where my senior brother, Lin Xiao, is now?"
2.
Outside Fuyao Town, there is no nameless mountain and no man's valley.
The real name of the "Uninhabited Valley" is now unknown to anyone. Legend has it that the road in this valley is a "netherworld path" that leads to the devil's lair, and those who enter the valley will have no bones left, and there will be no return.
As soon as this rumor spread, no one ever passed through the valley again. Over time, the mountain path in front of the valley was gradually covered by wild grasses, trees and stones, and the original stone monument engraved with the original name became more and more weathered. Later generations have forgotten the original name of the valley, but they have remembered the fear of that valley.
No one dared to go to the valley, and the name of "No Man's Valley" gradually spread.
In all fairness, Lin Xiao felt that this place was less sunny, the light was darker, the air was slightly muddy, and the other scenes were not much different from ordinary valleys.
Howeverβat this time, Lin Xiao stood in the only few patches of sunlight, slashed his hand with his sword, and drew a few blood-colored prohibitions around himβfor the rumor of "the road to the netherworld", I am afraid that it is not groundless.
The yin qi in this valley is indeed extremely heavy, so it is also easy to nourish some unclean things. For example, the person who has made Lin Xiao and his party anxious recently - a puppet. The disciples of the Aoki family found and brought back only a dozen or so, but at this time, what gathered around Lin Xiao was a dense group, which made people's scalps tingle when they saw it.
"I just said that you are a puppet in Fuyao Town, it seems that I still underestimate you too much!" Lin Xiao glared fiercely at Xi Wanli not far away, seeing that he was holding a bone flute, the flute sound was sharp, and the human puppets frantically impacted the bloody prohibition that had just been laid.
Xi Wanli laughed loudly: "Boy, although you can protect yourself with the 'blood ban', you don't dare to get too close when you stand in the sun." But there are times when the sun is obscured by the miasma of the valley, and there is also a time when your blood is drained!"
"You've planned it since you launched the teleportation array, so you've deliberately delayed the speed of the circle just to lure the two of us into a move, and then bring it here to get rid of it in one fell swoop. β
"Although there are still some minor flaws in the facts compared to the plan, this time I was able to remove the big disciples of the Purple Sun Divine Sect for my Paradise Hall, and I have no regrets!"
Lin Xiao secretly sealed the two acupoints of "Lao Palace" and "Shaofu" on his palm, and his palm naturally drooped to control the speed of blood outflow. Blood droplets spilled from the wound in his palm little by little, dripping down his fingers, dripping onto the formation mark on the ground, and the light of the "blood coating prohibition" around his body became stronger.
"Although Your Excellency's layout is exquisite, can you ask more," Lin Xiao sneered, "The tragedy of the Liaoyuan family's annihilation, as well as the hundreds of people and puppets here, although your Jile Tang has a big hand, but if you really want to operate such a big game, you seem to ...... You don't have that yet, do you?"
Xi Wanli suddenly remained silent, and his expression became gloomy again.
"If I'm not mistaken, your Paradise Hall should be one of the four affiliated sects of the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect. β
Xi Wanli remained silent.
"If you can let you, as the hall master, come out in person, then it means that the mastermind who is presiding over this matter is much stronger and more authoritative than you. β
"From this point of view, the mastermind behind these things should actually be the one who hates Heavenly City......" The smile on Lin Xiao's face became more and more dazzling in Xi Wanli's eyes, "The first Demon Sect, the sect master of the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect - 'Tiansha' Ye is invincible!"
"You're really smart. Xi Wanli said gloomily, "Then do you know that those who are too smart throughout the ages are generally short-lived." β
"I know, I can see it. Lin Xiao raised his palm, which was already covered with blood, waved it twice, and showed it to Xi Wanli. "If you want to kill me, you don't have to rush at all, you can wait for my blood to drain up, and then as soon as the 'blood ban' is broken, it will be my death. β
"You know that very well. β
"So before I die," Lin Xiao said with a smile, "can you tell me the whole story, so that I can die a little more clearly." β
Xi Wanli couldn't help but sneer: "What's wrong with being a fool?"
"If you don't tell me, I'll have to keep guessing. But I advise you to be careful. β
Xi Wanli was stunned: "Watch out for what?"
Lin Xiao laughed: "Be careful not to be by my ingenuity first!"
"It is worthy of being the sect master and disciple of the Purple Sun Divine Sect, and he is dying to the point of his teeth!" Xi Wanli laughed angrily. "If you can really guess, I'll think I'll let you die a happy death. β
Somewhat to Xi Wanli's surprise, the smile on Lin Xiao's face was a little weird, and he didn't have that pretending to be calm at all, as if he really accepted the fact that he was about to die. I saw him smile and say, "Hall Master Xi, don't talk too much, leave some room for yourself, in case something really happens, you won't cry." β
Without waiting for Xi Wanli to get angry, Lin Xiao immediately continued: "Before I guess the truth of the matter, there are still a few questions I want to ask. I'm a dying man now, and I hope you can tell me the truth. β
Xi Wanli also wanted to see how much Lin Xiao could guess about the whole thing, and knew that there were hundreds of people and puppets around him, and it was impossible for him to escape. At this time, when he heard Lin Xiao say this, he replied: "You just ask." β
"The Liaoyuan family's extermination case and the Fuyao Town's soul dementorship case are not two separate cases, yes or no?"
"Not bad. β
"In the two cases, the methods of killing may seem different, but the purpose is the same, which is to take the soul of another person. Am I wrong about that?"
"I have to say you're right. β
"You kidnapped and deceived the people in Fuyao Town, and refined human puppets in this uninhabited valley, are you because you fancy the geographical advantages here, or do you intend to target the Aoki family?"
"Naturally, it was not intended to target the Aoki family. β
"Okay, one last question. Lin Xiao's expression became a little solemn for the first time, "Since your actions are actually not intended to target the family, then why do you want to slaughter the Liaoyuan family?"
Xi Wanli's face suddenly sank, and he was silent.
Lin Xiao stared at Xi Wanli's eyes, and found that the other party's gaze revealed hatred that could not be concealed, and he couldn't help but think of a few words in his heart:
Yunsheng knotted the sea building, the enemy, arson, and destroyed the door......
Lin Xiaoden suddenly, he looked at Xi Wanli, and there was a little more surprise in his eyes, and this surprise was well answered in the other party's gaze:
"Back then, your enemy burned down the Yunsheng Jiehai Mansion and caused you to be buried in the flames, and the arsonist was a member of the Liaoyuan family, right?
3.
Xi Wanli looked at Lin Xiao's face, which was slightly pale due to blood loss, and was silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "Boy, you are really a rare talent! β
"It's over, Hall Master Xi. Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Thank you for answering these questions for me; β
"If you claim to be clever and intelligent, why can't you guess the whole truth now?"
"There is a real reason for part of this matter, I don't dare to guarantee how much, but it definitely involves the secrets of the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect. Lin Xiao said coldly, "If I see through it all, then your Demon Sect will be useless!"
"Say it, boy. Xi Wanli smiled, "I want to see how many points you can guess." β
Lin Xiao gently shook the bleeding hand, and several drops of blood were sprinkled on the blood prohibition, and for a while, the prohibition was full of light, shaking the puppets of those who were approaching to ashes.
Then he sat down cross-legged and slowly began to speak:
"More than ten years ago, your Yunsheng Jiehailou and the Liaoyuan family of Huafu formed a certain beam and hated each other. The Liaoyuan family sent people to set fire to your station, so that you were buried in a sea of fire. You escaped desperately, and when you were about to die, you were rescued by the demons, and after you recovered from your injuries, you entered the Hall of Paradise, and by virtue of your prestige, you became the master of the hall. β
"You've been working hard to avenge the destruction of the door. So more than ten years later, it should have been just a few months ago, that Lord Tiansha of the Ten Thousand Saints Ming Sect for some reason, maybe for the sake of something in the hands of the Liaoyuan family, took advantage of your hatred of Hua Cheng and laid down a shocking murder. β
"I don't know what it will be, maybe it's a magic weapon, or maybe it's some other secret object...... But one thing is for sure, if it's a magic weapon, you need something to open it, and if it's a cheat, you need something as a support ......."
"This thing is the soul of a person!"
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, took this opportunity to sort out the rest of his thoughts a little, and then continued:
And so came the rest of the story. You have to get not only the thing in the hands of the Liaoyuan family, but also the soul needed for that thing, and most importantly, you also want to hide people's eyes and ears - and cover the eyes and ears of the people in the entire Ning City and even the entire Immortal Gate!"
"The ghost house of the Xu family in the west of Ningcheng City is your handwriting. You're studying the Locking Spirit Array and the Mira Illusion there, just to keep the news off completely. In addition to this, you have also thought of ways to obtain the souls of others. β
"You have refined the evil qi in the ghost house, and you want to rely on it to enter the human body and forcibly squeeze out the human soul. This experiment should have been a success, and the successful example is Hua Bucheng's wife Yu Ziying. β
"I guess your original plan was to release the refined 'Demon Poison' in the Liaoyuan Family, but you have a deep grudge against Hua Cheng, so you chose the simplest and most barbaric way - you manipulated Yu Ziying to kill Hua Chengcheng and his son, and then led people to slaughter the Liaoyuan Family. β
"After the massacre ended, you used the Locking Spirit Array to seal off the entire Liaoyuan Family, and left the Miluo Illusion and Madame Hua, who was no longer a human or a ghost, there. Then you took the things you found and the souls of the Liaoyuan family, and in order to hide your whereabouts, you came to this uninhabited valley. β
Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and asked, "There is one more thing I haven't figured out, since all the living souls of the Liaoyuan family have been taken away by you, then what did Ling Ying and I summon when we were in Qiwu Yuyi Ju?"
Xi Wanli said: "After all, the Liaoyuan family is a member of the Immortal Sect, although the soul is ingested, but the person's spiritual consciousness has not dissipated due to the influence of the Lock Spirit Array, and what you have attracted should be their spiritual consciousness that has not yet dispersed." β
"I see. Lin Xiao nodded suddenly, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Where did I just go...... Oh yes! No Man's Valley......"
"You came to the Uninhabited Valley, since it is not for the Aoki family, then you have taken a fancy to the desolate and uninhabited place, and there is more evil aura gathered, which is conducive to your actions and the hidden puppets who have been ingested and ghostly into the body. β
"You took advantage of the ignorance and selfishness of the people in Fuyao Town to deceive them into eating those ghostly elixirs so that their souls would be squeezed out of their bodies on their own. Your purpose in doing this may be because you haven't collected enough souls from the Liaoyuan family, and the reason why you chose a completely different approach than the last one is that you want to hide from the people of the Aoki family. β
"It's a pity that you didn't calculate that the fate star judged Mrs. Hua, who is not a human or a ghost, to fall as a death, and we found out. There are two other things that you probably can't think of, one is that we brought out Lady Hua from the Mira Realm, and the other is that the people of the Aoki family have discovered the puppets you are hiding in the valley. β
"You should know the rest of the matter, do you need me to continue?" Lin Xiao looked at Xi Wanli coldly.
