Chapter 22: Phantom Swallowing Spirit
As soon as Tanaka Xing entered the spiritual cave, he heard someone say this, and his face immediately showed a gloomy color, but the faces of everyone present showed anger and panic, and he forced the anger in his heart to suppress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You wait like this, but do you want to rebel? Do you wait like this, do you put me in your eyes?" Tanaka Xing walked into the hall step by step, and then said loudly to everyone.
As soon as Tanaka Xing's words came out, everyone present was afraid of Tanaka Xing's majesty, and they gradually calmed down, but the anger on their faces did not disappear.
Seeing that everyone gradually quieted down, Tanaka Xing's face looked a little better, he straightened out his thoughts, and then sighed heavily.
"You must know that you have always been a member of my Great Yuan Heavenly Sect, and the sect always remembers you. The reason why we haven't explained it to you is because, even we don't know what caused the dead disciples to die. Speaking of this, Tanaka Xing also showed helplessness.
"Here, I want to apologize to you on behalf of the entire sect, maybe this apology came a little late, but I still have to say it, everyone, I'm sorry. Tanaka said sincerely to everyone. Originally, with Tian Zhongxing's status, there was no need to apologize to a group of miscellaneous disciples, but now he represents the entire Dayuan Heavenly Sect, if he doesn't say this apology, maybe everyone won't say anything on the surface, but in their hearts, they will definitely be chilled by the attitude of the sect, and once they spread this matter throughout the entire Dayuan Heavenly Sect, then this matter will inevitably affect the sense of belonging and loyalty of all disciples to the sect, therefore, this apology, he must will.
Sure enough, after Tanaka Xing said this apology, the faces of everyone present finally looked much better.
"Elder Tian, it was definitely not us who gathered to make trouble before, but because I was really afraid in my heart, so between the words, Fang was a little intense, and I hope Elder Tian will not take it to heart. The person who questioned Tanaka Xing before stood up again and said at this moment.
Tanaka's face softened slightly, and then he waved his hand, signaling that he would not care about it.
"Elder Natian, what should we do next?" someone asked.
Hearing this, Tanaka Xing groaned slightly, and then said: "In this way, you can do whatever you should do next, remember, you must go together, and don't go alone." In addition, I will send more than a dozen worship elders of several sects to protect you, once something happens, you can call loudly, and the worship elders will definitely rush over as quickly as possible. ā
Tian Zhongxing did not interrupt the mining of spirit stones because of this, because this spiritual vein is the foundation for maintaining the operation of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect, once the mining is stopped, then the spirit stones in the sect will not be supplied, so Tian Zhongxing has no choice but to adopt this method to stabilize the mood of the miscellaneous disciples present.
Hearing Elder Tian's arrangement, the hearts of the people present were a little settled, after all, each of the enshrined elders was an extremely advanced cultivator, and with their protection, the confidence in everyone's hearts was naturally enough.
"Everything is subject to Elder Tian's arrangement. Then everyone said in unison.
Tanaka nodded, and then said, "Then let's disperse." ā
"Yes. Everyone nodded, and then they also walked towards their respective caves.
In the crowd, Lin Yi frowned slightly, and the successive deaths also made him have a dark cloud in his heart that lingered for a long time.
After walking out of the spiritual cave where this spiritual vein was located, Tian Zhongxing's face was solemn, since he returned to the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect half a month ago, he was appointed by the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect Sect Master Yu Lingfeng to investigate the cause of the successive deaths of the spiritual vein, but until now, he has not even figured out the cause of this incident.
Tian Zhongxing looked at the huge pavilion on the top of Liuyun Mountain, he shook his head with a wry smile, and then his body floated, and he flew towards the huge pavilion.
Liuyun Pavilion is the most sacred building of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect, because here, the supreme ruler of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect lives - the Sect Master of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect.
When he flew to a distance of 100 zhang from Liuyun Pavilion, Tanaka Xing slowly lowered his body, and then landed steadily on the ground. This is the unwritten rule of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect, within a hundred zhang of the Liuyun Pavilion, it is forbidden to fly in the sky, in order to show respect for the sect master of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect.
Looking at the huge pavilion in front of him with carved dragons and phoenixes, jade carvings, and extremely exquisite decorations, Tian Zhongxing sighed heavily, and then walked towards him step by step.
When he came to the door, Tanaka Xing said to the person guarding the door: "The sect master is here?"
When the man heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes." ā
"Then I'm sorry for you to go in and report it, saying that I have something to report to the sect master. Tanaka said.
"The sect master said, if you come, you don't need to report, you can go in directly. "That's human.
"So, thank you very much. Hearing this, Tanaka nodded and said.
Entering the Liuyun Pavilion, it is a large main hall, in front of the main hall, are two huge wooden pillars painted with red lacquer, and in the middle of the main hall, there is an incense burner that exudes a slight sandalwood incense. At the back of the main hall, two chairs and a coffee table are side by side. On the wall above the two chairs, there is a portrait hanging, but although the painting depicts a man, his face is not depicted, and the whole face is only blank.
At this moment, in the main hall, there is a middle-aged man sitting, the man's face is in the face of the Chinese character, his appearance is quite ordinary, and his clothes are also extremely simple, but his eyes are like the stars in the sky, which makes people feel vast, and he is the supreme ruler of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect and the suzerain of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect - Yu Lingfeng.
"Sect Master. Tanaka Xing bowed to Yu Lingfeng, and then said respectfully.
Yu Lingfeng slowly put down the teacup in his hand, then pointed to the chair on the side of the main hall and said, "Sit." ā
"Yes. Tanaka replied, then walked to the side and sat down.
"I heard that the spirit cave where the spirit vein is located today, and another miscellaneous disciple died today?" Yu Lingfeng said casually.
Hearing this, Tian Zhongxing's heart trembled, and before the accident, the outer disciple informed him as soon as possible, except for himself, no one in the inner and outer doors knew, but the sect master was not leaving the house, but he already knew what was happening today, and every move of the Great Yuan Heavenly Sect seemed to be unable to escape his eyes.
"Yes. Tanaka replied truthfully.
"Can you find the reason?" said Yu Lingfeng.
"I don't know. Tanaka replied honestly.
"My Great Yuan Heavenly Sect has been established for a hundred years, and I discovered this spiritual vein twenty years ago, and since then, my Great Yuan Heavenly Sect has become the first immortal cultivator in Changling County by relying on it. And my Great Yuan Heavenly Sect has been mining this spiritual vein for twenty years, why has such a thing never happened before, but in the past two years, such a strange thing has happened?" Yu Lingfeng frowned, and then muttered to himself.
"But man-made?" Yu Lingfeng asked.
"I don't think so, I examined the bodies of the deceased and found that they did not have any external injuries, but died of broken liver and gall, and in this case, it was obvious that they were overly frightened and died. In this way, human causes are basically ruled out. Tanaka said.
"It's not artificial, that means that in this spiritual vein, an unknown existence has appeared?" Yu Lingfeng asked.
"I don't know if the sect master ever knew that in the past two years, the mining volume of this spiritual vein has been greatly reduced. Not to mention the high-grade spirit stones, even the medium-grade spirit stones are much less than in previous years. Tanaka asked.
"I've heard about this, but what does it have to do with it?" Yu Lingfeng asked puzzled.
"The dead man incident happened to start two years ago, and it was only one at first, and it only increased later, so it didn't attract our attention at the beginning, and it happened that the sudden reduction in the production of spirit stones also started two years ago, and the output was decreasing year by year, didn't the sect master think, is this too coincidental? Or can the sect master say that these two things are not connected?" Tanaka Xing said slowly.
Hearing this, Yu Lingfeng fell into a long period of contemplation, and after a long time, Yu Lingfeng said: "Elder Tian is really intelligent, he is able to connect these two things, and I also seem to feel that it makes sense when I hear Elder Tian say this. Speaking of which, after all, I'm not as smart as Elder Tian. ā
As soon as Yu Lingfeng said this, Tian Zhongxing also smiled bitterly and said: "The sect master really tormented me, if it comes to intelligence, I am afraid that it is not even ten times the sect master, and the sect master usually has a lot of opportunities, where do you have so much mind to think about such miscellaneous things." ā
Yu Lingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Listening to Elder Tian's previous words, I think you already have some ideas in your heart, and tell me about them. ā
Hearing this, Tanaka nodded, and said, "I wonder if the sect master has ever heard of the Phantom Spirit Swallowing Beast?"
"Phantom Spirit Devouring Beast?" Yu Lingfeng heard this, then thought for a moment, and then said, "It seems that I have heard of it in some ancient books. ā
"By looking through the ancient books, I learned that this phantom devouring spirit beast is extremely rare, and it has not appeared in my Canglan Continent for thousands of years. As far as I know, this Phantom Spirit Swallowing Spirit Beast is one of the ancient xenomorphs, because every time it evolves, it requires an extremely large amount of aura, so they all like to inhabit and inhabit the spiritual veins, and they can advance by absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins. Moreover, this Phantom Spirit Eater is good at creating illusions, and will make all creatures that enter its territory enter extremely terrifying illusions, and eventually die in illusions. Tanaka said slowly.
"You mean, under the spiritual veins of my Great Yuan Heavenly Sect, there is a Phantom Devouring Spirit Beast?" Yu Lingfeng said with some surprise.
"It's just a guess I've come up with in light of the current situation. I'm not sure if there is any. Tanaka hesitated for a moment, then continued.
Hearing this, Yu Lingfeng pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Elder Yitian's words are not impossible, and judging from the current situation, it seems that only this kind of speculation can explain what happened before. ā
