In the depths of the forest that surrounded the mist all the year round, the high-level spirit beasts there were all scared away by Zeru's breath, but those spirit masters who were working were still terrified.

Although they didn't know why they couldn't see spirit beasts here, the cold aura in the forest made them have to speed up.

Building a foundation can't be completed overnight, so Xirao is not in a hurry.

At this moment, a black-red blood gas rushed past Xi Rao's side, and the blood gas rushed to a place not far from Xi Rao, and then, an earth-shattering sound came from the direction where the blood gas disappeared, Xi Rao's silver eyes narrowed slightly, and the figure disappeared into the depths of the forest.

She followed the trajectory of the blood qi and chased it, and found that the blood qi was floating in the air, wrapping a figure in a vortex.

Xi Rao looked fixedly, surrounded by the blood qi, was a gray-haired old man, although he was already old, but between his eyebrows he could still see the grace of his youth, at this moment he was cultivating with his eyes closed, and the black and red blood around him lingered.

Xirao frowned slightly, just thinking that the other party was cultivating some evil skill, and her original curiosity was suddenly gone.

The old man's body was covered with blood, and his old wrinkled face was also bloodstained, and at this moment his thin lips moved slightly, and his whole body trembled slightly, looking very painful.

"Who is it?"

The old man felt the unfamiliar breath, his eyes suddenly opened, and he shot sharply in the direction where Xirao was.

When he saw the person clearly, he stiffened faintly, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and leave.

"I'm really sorry to disturb my seniors inadvertently." Xirao said lightly.

"Then get out of here." The old man narrowed his eyes and hurried away.

In his heart, he wished that Xirao would leave quickly.

Xirao raised her feet and was about to leave, but suddenly met the old man's eyes, and her steps paused slightly.

Xirao's eyes fixed on the old man sitting cross-legged, and she couldn't take her eyes off it, and after a long time, she affirmed the idea in her heart.

She seems to have discovered some terrible secret.

Xirao smiled and said, "The seniors look very familiar, they look very much like someone I know, I wonder if the juniors can know who the seniors are?" ”

The old man closed his eyes with a little weakness and said expressionlessly: "You may be mistaken, you don't have to know who I am." Don't disturb my cultivation, you can leave quickly. ”

Xirao ignored the old man, bent down and looked at the old man, and there was a hint of playfulness in her voice: "The senior is wrong, the senior not only looks like the person I know, but even the breath is almost exactly the same......"

The old man was a little impatient and said, "Why do you say so much?" Let's go! ”

Xirao simply sat beside him, and there was a trace of loss in her tone: "Senior, my master is gone." ”

The old man's body stiffened, and he said coldly: "What does it have to do with me when your master is gone?" ”

Was this discovered?

Xirao said again: "Of course it matters, you look very similar to my master, so I unconsciously treat you as him, the seniors don't mind the juniors calling you a master, right?" ”

The old man's heart trembled, and he sighed slightly in his heart, but she still saw it in the end.

"How did you find out?" Qing Yan was a little helpless at the moment, and he asked a little embarrassed.

Xirao didn't answer, but stared at her master's unique peach blossom eyes and asked, "How did the master become like this?" ”

Is it because he has become like this that the master is not staying in the academy?

Her master Qingyan has always been very concerned about his image, and he usually has as much stinky and beautiful as he wants, but now he has become like this, presumably he was embarrassed to recognize her before.

Qing Yan's face was embarrassed, and the peach blossom eyes that used to be bright and bright were also extremely dim at the moment, and he sighed and said, "Yes, there are always a few days every month that I will become like this." ”

Xirao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had thought of something: "Could it have something to do with the Blood Bone Sect?" ”

Qing Yan looked surprised and said, "How do you know?" ”

Xirao pursed her lips: "The master wants to lock the soul fruit and the lock spirit fruit, I remember that the Blood Bone Sect has an evil art, called the soul lock technique, presumably the master has practiced this evil art." ”

Speaking of the Blood Bone Sect, Qing Yan's originally plain peach blossom eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, and the surrounding blood qi instantly became thicker, and his old voice said with a hint of anger: "I didn't cultivate voluntarily. ”

Xi Rao clearly saw the undisguised strong hatred in Qing Yan's eyes, Xi Rao raised her eyebrows and looked at him, but did not speak.

If you don't cultivate voluntarily, that's compulsion.

Qing Yan looked at his only apprentice, and the only person in this world who could save him, and finally decided to tell what happened to him.

He took a deep breath to calm his mood, and then continued to speak: "The Soul Locking Technique is not a cultivation technique, it is a kind of Yin and Evil Technique, as long as the Soul Locking Technique is cultivated, its soul will be bound, and then its lifespan will be continuously reduced. When cultivating normally, it is often like devouring the heart, and it is difficult to advance. ”

If his white hair and beard weren't trembling slightly, Xirao would really think that Qing Yan's heart was very calm.

Xirao asked, "So how did the master cultivate this evil art?" ”

Qing Yan recalled: "In order to attract talents, they found me. ”

As he spoke, a touch of pride suddenly appeared in his peach blossom eyes: "As a teacher, he was a genius boy who shook the continent back then." ”

Xirao: "......"

She thought that the master's current state would be a little more normal, but she didn't expect it to have changed at all.

"Back then, I researched the light attribute, and I succeeded, shocking the continent, and I was the only one who could use the light attribute. So the Blood Bone Cult desperately wanted me to join, but I wasn't interested in joining the forces, so I refused. ”

The fact that the light attribute could be cultivated shocked everyone, and Qing Yan naturally became the target of all forces.

After all, if Qing Yan joined, there were so many wastes of light attributes, and if they were cultivated, they would be a powerful force that could not be ignored.

Everybody wants that kind of power.

"So what the master means is that you rejected the pull of the Blood and Bone Sect, so they want to kill you and force you to practice the Soul Locking Technique?" Xirao's heart churned, and she asked with a frown.

"Why do they just want me to die? They want me to live rather than die! That soul locking technique was forcibly instilled into my body, if I don't cultivate, my cultivation will be spent, and my vitality will disappear faster, and in the end, those powers will be used as wedding dresses for the people of the Blood and Bone Sect for nothing! Qing Yan acquiesced to Xirao's guess, and there was a different indifference and hatred in her voice.

Xirao pursed her lips, she had heard the soul locking technique mentioned by the Demon Lord.
