Chapter 117: Inner Ghost
This long night passed like this, because Xuantian and Xu Haotian both slept too late, so the next morning, they didn't get up. Zuo Zimu didn't send anyone to call them, because as soon as the sun came out, he left the Zhongzi Gate and hurried to the Hall of Light to discuss with Murong Ze and the other sect masters about the attack on the Demon Suppression Tower last night.
In the Hall of Light, in addition to Zuo Zimu, Yun Hui, and Murong Xinghai, Murong Ze called the person wearing a yellow mask among the five people to the Hall of Light to discuss with him.
The reason why this person was called over was because he was the only one among the five who possessed the true qi of the earth attribute, and he was also the one with the best perception and reconnaissance among the five. Each of the five has their own code name, which is named after the color of their mask and the attributes of their true qi. And the code name for this yellow mask is "Loess"
Loess told Murong Ze that he didn't sense anyone moving underground near the outside of the Demon Suppression Tower at that time, and when the person entered the Demon Suppression Tower, a few of them reacted that someone had broken in.
The entire Demon Suppression Tower is wrapped in a special enchantment, which is not intended to prevent outsiders from entering, but to perceive the enchantment. Whether it is a person or an animal, or even a leaf floats in, the bell hanging in the doorway will make a different sound. At that time, the five people of the Absolute Shadow heard the bell at the door, so they immediately rushed to the Demon Suppression Tower and went to protect the Dragon Sword.
This is what makes Murong Ze and them feel very suspicious, it stands to reason that if they want not to be perceived by those who have the true qi of the earth, they can only fly in the air without touching the ground with their bodies. This kind of earth escape technique that sneaks into the ground should be easy to be discovered by the loess, but the loess is not aware of the existence of the masked man at all, which is completely unreasonable.
Moreover, why would the enemy use the technique of earth retreat, is he so confident that he will not be noticed? This completely illogical behavior made Murong Ze and them keep discussing.
In the end, they finally explored one result, and the only possibility, that is, to completely cultivate a demon in human form. After those demons cultivated into human form, although the demonic qi in their bodies was completely eliminated, the true qi of their physical strength was still of the yin attribute and had not been converted into the yang attribute.
The five elements of true qi are divided into yin and yang, and for human beings born in the human world, the five elements of true qi belong to yang. And those demons who were born in the demon realm, the true qi of the five elements naturally belongs to yin. After those demons cultivated into human form, some of them had relatively high talent and comprehension, and they could quickly transform their Five Elements True Qi into positive. And the rest of the people need to cultivate for a long time before they can convert the true qi in their bodies into positive.
Murong Ze now began to suspect that it might be the people from the Demon Realm who started to make a move, if they really sent some demons who had cultivated into human form to infiltrate the river
State City, that's really not easy to do.
The enemy is in the light, they are in the dark. Now they haven't even figured out the details of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and now they have suddenly killed a demon realm halfway. I don't know if there is any connection between this Black Lotus Holy Sect and the Demon Realm, if they work together, then the situation will become more troublesome for them.
At this time, Zuo Zimu suddenly stood up and said, "Sect Master, you don't have to worry too much, all this is just our speculation, and there is not enough evidence to prove that the person last night was from the Demon Realm." Maybe it's a unique secret method of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, which can evade the perception of the loess. ”
But Murong Ze shook his head: "No, I have never heard of such a secret method, and nine times out of ten it is a person in the demon world." I just don't know how many people the Demon Realm has sent this time, and in the days to come, we will have to be more careful! ”
"Sect Master, there is one thing that I have never figured out."
"Oh! What's up? Senior Sister Yunhui said it quickly. ”
"Regardless of whether the person who stole the sword is a person from that force, being able to steal the dragon sword during the time I took Li Xuantian out shows that he already knows our whereabouts. This person is either lurking in Gangneung Pavilion, or someone is giving him a message. ”
Murong Xinghai slapped the table and said loudly: "What the Cloud Gate Lord said is right, our Jiangling Pavilion must have an inner ghost, if we don't catch this inner ghost, our Jiangling Pavilion will never have peace." ”
"Master Murong Sect, don't worry, the point I want to talk about is not here."
"Oh! What is that? Murong Xinghai asked suspiciously.
Yun Hui continued: "Since he knows our whereabouts, why don't you find a way to get rid of Li Xuantian first?" If Li Xuantian didn't die, even if they captured the Dragon Sword, it would be a piece of scrap iron. We can also follow the clue of the Dragon Sword to find their safe place, isn't this a good strategy for them? ”
Murong Ze nodded slightly; "This is indeed a bit unreasonable, although you were by Li Xuantian's side at the time, but this can't be counted as a reason why they didn't attack Li Xuantian."
"That... Sect Master, Li Xuantian is here, do you want to send some elites to protect, if the Demon Realm has really started to act, then Li Xuantian's situation is even less optimistic. Zuo Zimu hurriedly said.
Murong Ze didn't speak, just glanced at the loess and said to him: "Loess, it's none of your business here, go back to the Demon Tower to guard!" ”
Loess replied and walked out of the main hall.
Zuo Zimu looked at the back of the loess leaving, and didn't know what to think, and suddenly said to Murong Ze: "Sect Master, now there is going to be a contest for the election of the master of the Renzi Sect, and everyone has something to do." Only the five people under your command can pull away, why don't you transfer a few people to protect Li Xuantian's life? ”
Murong Ze shook his head and replied, "If we really have internal ghosts in Jiangling Pavilion, who can guarantee that it will not be among the five of them. ”
After hearing this, a frightened expression appeared on their faces.
"What? Uncle, do you suspect that there are internal ghosts among the five of them? Murong Xinghai hurriedly asked.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, I just want to have a few more eyes. After all, their identities are quite special, and no one knows their details except me. I think it's also the easiest to make the Black Lotus Holy Sect and the Demon Realm make a fuss. ”
Murong Xinghai was even more puzzled after hearing this, and said suspiciously: "Then you still let a few of them take care of You Dragon Sword?" ”
Zuo Zimu smiled and said, "Master Murong, you are wrong, it is precisely because of this that a few of them went to guard the Dragon Sword. ”
After thinking for a while, Murong Xinghai immediately reacted and asked them to take care of You Longjian, which can be said to restrict their range of activities and freedom of movement. Even if there are inner ghosts among them, it is impossible for all five of them to be internal ghosts, and with the strength of the five of them equal, it is impossible to easily defeat the others and win the Dragon Sword.
"That... Sect Master, do you still plan to send someone to protect Li Xuantian's safety? ”
Murong Ze stroked his beard and said, "Well, I've already thought about it." ”
