Su Yuan held the array book he got from Ling Shi'an in his palm, and his face was full of joy.

"This Senior Brother Ling is simply a genius, a seemingly simple and ordinary low-level attack array, he can deduce several ways by him, and even increase the power of the formation several times!"

The books were densely packed with small characters, which made Su Yuan's heart surge. "I must hurry up and realize this, maybe it will be of great use in the next round!"

Just as she was concentrating on studying the formation, there was terrifying news spreading under Kailing Peak.

"Hey, have you heard? It's not peaceful under Kailing Peak near here, and several disciples who came back from the mountain have disappeared for no reason. A middle-aged nameless monk whispered by the sleeve of another monk's coat.

"I haven't heard of it, why did you disappear for no reason? and there is such a thing?" said another, looking surprised.

"yes, what, you don't know?" said the speaker, his face full of surprise.

The other shook his head.

The man looked around, leaned over and continued to whisper, "I heard that several of the disciples who came down the mountain first disappeared inexplicably. What's even more bizarre is that under Kailing Peak, someone found a dried corpse."

"Dry corpse, right? How could there be such a thing?" the man's face changed drastically, and he was obviously frightened.

"Who dares to make this kind of thing, in my opinion, most of the time something big is going to happen!"

"This place is near Kailing Peak, the closest place to the inner gate of my Phantom Moon Outer Gate, who is so bold?" he said as he looked in the direction of Kailing Peak, with awe in his eyes.

"Come on, you!" the man dismissed.

"Who doesn't know, those foundation building seniors in the inner gate don't take us named disciples in their eyes at all. You and I haven't been in the business for ten years, to say the least for seven or eight years, when have we ever seen a foundation building predecessor come to my outer gate to maintain order?"

"This ...... It's also ......."

"Hey, these people in the outer gate are just ants in the eyes of those foundation building monks, so they don't bother to care about our life or death. He shook his head as he spoke, and his tone was desolate.

"By the way, didn't it mean that in this trial, there was an Elder Xuanyue of the Sect Stage in the Spirit Opening Palace? If this kind of thing happened, he wouldn't care about it! No matter how the registered disciples of the outer sect were also disciples. ”

"Hey, Elder Xuanyue is certainly powerful, but how can you and me, like you and me, be a fourth-layer Qi refining cultivator who can speculate? The distance is too far, in my opinion, it's just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, by the way, let's go out in the future, it's better to be careful!"

The other person nodded and said, "Senior brother is still thoughtful, remind me!"

As the two of them continued to march forward, a black wind quietly rose and spread from behind the two of them, instantly enveloping the other door.

"Ahh

Immediately after that, the other person roared: "Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong with you? Get out of the way, get out of ......" Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

In the same place, the black wind swirled again, and after a few breaths, it finally slowly faded and disappeared, but there were two more corpses with hideous faces and strange postures on the ground.

......

Such a scene has been staged in the mountains near Kailing Peak many times.

This trial not only attracted the middle and high-level registered disciples who participated in the trial, but also the low-level who only saw the excitement at the fourth or fifth level of qi refining also accounted for most of them. After hearing the news, all the monks who came down from Kailing Peak were all shocked in their hearts, and their faces changed greatly.

"Just an instant to turn the monk into a dry corpse?" This kind of cultivation was obviously beyond their imagination.

The bold part of the monks did not take this matter seriously at all, and they did not give a damn about such a false rumor. put on the appearance that the vice president is not afraid of heaven and earth, and continues to bury his head in the road.

The more cautious monks began to form gangs, or in groups of three or five, or in pairs of seven or eight, and slowly continued to move on.

There were also many timid and fearful monks, who heard the news on the way down the mountain, and after a little thought, they went straight back the same way as if they were afraid that they would be the next to be killed, in an attempt to seek refuge in the Kailing Square.

As soon as this incident came out, the Kailing Peak, which was originally still lively and noisy, was instantly surrounded by a depressing and tense atmosphere, and the monks were all in a panic and vigilant,

It was as if the entire mountain peak was shrouded in dark clouds.

Outside the Spirit Palace, outside the door of a room.

Qin Huan'er paced back and forth in the corridor with a solemn face.

"I heard that the disciples below came to report that there were more and more missing monks around Kailing Peak. There were even some low-level monks who rushed to the Kailing Square again for fear of their own victimization. The disciples who are making trouble are panicking!"

"I am in the middle stage of foundation building, so naturally I will not be afraid, but the second round of the trial is about to be held soon, and once this matter spreads, I am afraid it will affect the progress of the trial."

"Although, my inner gate has never interfered in the battle in the mountains of the outer gate, and let those who can live there. But the door attaches great importance to this trial, and specially sent a master to preside over it, in case of an accident at that time, this ......"

"What should I do?

Qin Huan'er's thoughts were like electricity in her heart, and she rubbed the corners of her clothes with her two hands, unable to come up with an idea for a while. After half an hour of incense, she stepped forward a few steps forward and reached out to knock on the door.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my heart: "Since I left the customs, the master's temperament has become a little elusive, and if I go up to disturb him at this time, will it cause him to be disgusted by the old man"?

Thinking of this, Qin Huan'er took her hand back again.

As if sensing her hesitation, Elder Xuanyue's voice came from inside the room, "Is it Huan'er?

Qin Huan'er's heart was relieved when she heard this, and she said respectfully: "It's Huan'er, yes, master!" After speaking, he pushed open the wooden door in front of him with both hands.

"Squeak", as the wooden door was pushed open, there was a smell of tea.

"Master!" Qin Huan'er stood inside the door and bowed her head slightly.

Xuan Yue sat leisurely in the living room, he held a teacup, took a sip, and said, "Say, what makes you so restless!"

"It turns out that the master has long noticed that I am outside!" Qin Huan'er said to herself, still with a very respectful look on her face: "Master, something has indeed happened in my outer gate recently, and the disciple does not dare to make an opinion, so he came to disturb!"

Xuan Yue nodded secretly and motioned for her to continue.

Qin Huan'er accepted a powerful disciple for Xuanyue, and she naturally did not speak badly, but in just a few words, she made everything she knew clear.

"Master, at this time, there are many low-level outer disciples who are returning to the Spirit Opening Hall, please make it clear!"

Xuan Yue waited quietly for her to finish, and said after a while: "I was aware of this matter, but I didn't expect it to cause such panic."

"In this way, it will inevitably have a bad impact on this trial, you take two inner disciples to investigate and arrest the person behind it!"

"Yes, master!" Qin Huan'er's eyes lit up.

"Remember, just catch him and hand him over to me, don't kill him by mistake!" Xuan Yue advised.

"Remember, please rest assured!"

"Let's go down!" Xuan Yue said, closing her eyes.

Qin Huan'er saluted again, then slowly withdrew and closed the door again.
