Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows:

"How?"

Tian Jing said in a deep voice:

"The Pingyao Sect has made a large number of magic weapons, which can detect the energy fluctuations on the body of the Ghost Spirit Sect."

"Actually, there is another reason why we suspect that the Wraithical Spirit Sect is the one who took the Golden Magnolia...... The people of the Ghost Spirit Sect have actually been cultivating demonic skills for a long time, and they have improved their strength by absorbing people's essence blood and cultivation power."

"It's just that the level of the magic skill in the hands of the Spirit Sect should not be high, or it may be incomplete, far less than the magic skill mastered by Jin Yulan."

Xiao Zhan frowned tightly:

"Therefore, the people of the Ghost Spirit Sect will also have a faint demonic qi on their bodies, and they can be sensed by the magic weapon made by the Pingyao Sect, right?"

Tian Jing nodded, took out a blue-green jade pendant, and handed it to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand to take it and found that a large number of precision formations were attached to this thing, and a trace of very strange energy was sealed.

Xiao Zhan and Jin Yulan have fought, so they can naturally feel that this trace of weird energy should be demonic energy.

Xiao Zhan returned the jade pendant to Tian Jing, frowned and asked:

"In the Heavenly Destiny Sect, are there any people from the Wraithical Spirit Sect?"

Tian Jing shook her head:

"The Heavenly Mandate Sect doesn't have it, it doesn't mean that there are no other forces."

"When the people who find the Wraithing Spirit Sect will probably be able to find the Golden Magnolia."

"But this matter must be kept secret, or it may fall short."

Xiao Zhan frowned tightly:

"Why are you telling me about this, when you trust me so much?"

Tian Jing nodded:

"I recognize your strength."

"In addition, you can take the initiative to search for Jin Yulan, and you can also take the initiative to tell the news that Jin Yulan was taken away, at least it shows that you don't want to see chaos in the world."

"Another very important reason is that I tell you these things to treat you as my own, and I still hope that after this incident, you can join our Tianyumen, even if you don't join, I invite you to our Tianyumen as a guest to see the overall environment and atmosphere of our Tianyumen."

Xiao Zhan nodded:

"If I have the chance, I'll be a guest."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan looked at the probing jade pendant in Tian Jing's hand again and said:

"Can you lend me this jade pendant for two days?"

Tian Jing first threw the jade pendant to Xiao Zhan, and then asked with some doubts:

"What are you for?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and didn't explain.

Not long after, Xiao Zhan took this jade pendant back to the mountain where he lived.

After admonishing Qiu Ya and Qiu Ling not to leave the mountain peak for a few days, Xiao Zhan entered the wooden building and began to study this jade pendant.

Xiao Zhan's refining level and formation level have a solid foundation.

And last time in the secret realm, Xiao Zhan also got the treasure books related to refining weapons and formations, and Xiao Zhan also took the time to study it, and benefited a lot from it.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan quickly separated a trace of the demonic qi in this jade pendant.

Looking at the trace of black qi in front of him, Xiao Zhan suddenly frowned.

Because although Xiao Zhan used his own energy to imprison this trace of demonic energy.

But this trace of demonic qi is constantly devouring Xiao Zhan's energy, and even wants to burrow into Xiao Zhan's body, making Xiao Zhan the host of demonic qi.

It can be seen that demonic energy is really a difficult energy to deal with.

If it is an ordinary person, it may immediately be infiltrated by demonic energy, lose its own nature, and become a person in the demonic path.

Not long after, Xiao Zhan re-refined a jade pendant and sealed the separated trace of demonic qi in it.

In this way, Xiao Zhan also has a magic weapon that can sense demonic energy.

A day later.

Xiao Zhan returned the jade pendant to Tian Jing and asked if there was any progress on the Pingyao Sect's side.

Tian Jing and it

The people sent by his great sect have always been in contact.

According to the investigation of those people, in the other sects in this area, no one from the Ghost Spirit Sect was found, and no demonic qi was sensed.

This makes things a lot of trouble.

For this reason, they are going to look among the smaller forces.

Tian Jing had already told Qin Yunzhong that she would take a hundred disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect to investigate more than a dozen very small forces around the Heavenly Mandate Sect.

Xiao Zhan is also among them.

On top of a medium-sized flying boat, Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing stood at the bow of the boat.

The other disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect all began to discuss.

"If Senior Brother Xiao Zhan were still alive, he would definitely be stronger than them!"

"I also think that although this woman is from Tianyu Gate, our Senior Brother Xiao Zhan's strength and talent are definitely stronger than her, you know, Senior Brother Xiao Zhan, but for so many years, the only person who can make the Heavenly Mandate Tower recognize the Lord!"

"It's a pity, Senior Brother Xiao Zhan was killed, what did you say about being killed by demon beasts, I think it's a lie from those people in other sects, Senior Brother Xiao Zhan must have been besieged to death by them!"

"Not only is Senior Brother Xiao Zhan dead, but even the Heavenly Mandate Pagoda has been lost, I deliberately, the Heavenly Mandate Pagoda must be hidden in some other sect, our Heavenly Mandate Sect, sooner or later we will snatch the Heavenly Mandate Pagoda back!"

On the flying boat, there were also two disciples who did not speak.

They were selected to enter the Heavenly Mandate Tower to cultivate before, so they knew that Xiao Zhan was not dead, and they also knew that the Heavenly Mandate Pagoda was still in Xiao Zhan's hands.

It's just that Sect Master Qin Yunzhong told him that this matter is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone except themselves.

The two disciples looked at Xiao Zhan's back.

Although Xiao Zhan's face changed, they still recognized Xiao Zhan.

Because they were on Xiao Zhan's body, they felt the energy breath inside the Heavenly Mandate Tower.

The two disciples looked at each other and smiled, sat down cross-legged and began to practice.

After a short time, the flying boat landed in the middle of a lofty mountain.

Here, there is a Taoist temple called Wuqing Temple.

The Five Qingguan is only a small force, with only five Guan Masters and less than two hundred disciples.

At the moment when they saw the Heavenly Mandate Sect's flying boat landing, the five masters appeared one after another, and greeted each other respectfully with all the disciples of the sect.

The five observers smiled and were about to say something, but they saw the flying boat suddenly take off into the air and disappear into a streamer.

Because of the detection jade pendant on Tian Jing's body, he did not detect the slightest bit of demonic qi here.

Soon, some small forces in the area near the Heavenly Mandate Sect were all inspected, and still nothing was found.

But on the way back to the Heavenly Mandate Sect, Tian Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he controlled the flying boat to fall at a high speed.

Below was a city that Xiao Zhan was familiar with.

The Qiu family, who is in this city, is now also the manager of this city, and at the same time, the Qiu family is also the only family that is currently working for the Heavenly Mandate Sect.

Xiao Zhan retracted his hand into his sleeve and clenched the probing jade pendant he had refined, and sure enough, he found that the probing jade pendant was slightly hot.

This means that in the city below, there is a faint demonic energy!

Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up.

He only hoped that the demonic qi would not come from the Qiu family.

But the demonic qi just appeared in the Qiu family!

Xiao Zhan couldn't figure it out, the people of the Spirit Sect were so well hidden, how could they be suddenly discovered now?

But in any case, Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing must have entered the Qiu family to check.

The guards of the Qiu family, seeing that Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing had come to the door with so many disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, hurriedly greeted them with a smile, and some people immediately ran into the mansion to inform them.

After a while, Qiu Bufan walked out quickly.

Although he didn't know Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing, he was still very enthusiastic.

Tian Jing and Xiao Zhan glanced at each other, then looked at a group of disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and said coldly:

"Spread out and surround the Qiu family!"

All the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect looked solemn and dispersed one after another

The entire Qiu family was surrounded.

Qiu Bufan was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Zhan looked at Qiu Bufan at this time and said softly:

"Don't be nervous, it's not aimed at your Qiu family."

Qiu Bufan nodded, but his eyes were full of worry.

So many disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect surrounded the Qiu family, even if it wasn't aimed at the Qiu family, it made him feel all over the place.

Soon, Tian Jing and Xiao Zhan came to the backyard of the Qiu family according to the reaction of the probing jade pendant.

It is all the guards of the Qiu family who live here.

Xiao Zhan is no stranger to this place.

Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing walked to the door of a room with solemn faces, and at the same time took out their weapons.

Tian Jing's weapon was a turquoise long sword.

Xiao Zhan clenched the black dragon spear.

Then Xiao Zhan looked at Qiu Bufan and asked:

"Who's in the room?"

Qiu Bufan saw that Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing's faces were solemn, and even took out their weapons, he immediately wiped the cold sweat on his face, and said truthfully:

"It's the captain of the guard that our Qiu family just recruited half a year ago."

"But a few days ago, when he was on a mission with someone, he was accidentally injured, and he has been in a coma since he came back."

Hearing this, Tian Jing raised his foot violently, kicked open the door and rushed in.

Xiao Zhan also followed.

There were a few guards in the room who were playing dice, and when they saw Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing coming in with their weapons, they immediately stood up.

Qiu Bufan hurriedly said:

"You come out first!"

Several of the guards nodded hurriedly and ran out of the room quickly.

Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing looked towards the bed at the same time, and sure enough, they saw a middle-aged man lying there, his face was blue, and his body exuded a faint demonic aura.

Xiao Zhan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to remove the person's eyelids, and found that his eyes were blood-red, and there were many blue-black lines slowly emerging on his skin.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhan immediately mobilized his energy to imprison this person, and then Xiao Zhan looked at Qiu Bufan and asked:

"What mission are they on? Where did you encounter danger, who did you encounter?"

Qiu Bufan said in a deep voice:

"At that time, I received a mission from the Heavenly Mandate Sect, to go to a place eight hundred miles away and transport a batch of elixirs back."

"On their way back, they met a few mysterious people."

"All the other guards were killed, only the captain of the guard escaped without saying a word, and then he passed out, and finally became like this."

Tian Jing shook his head, "He can escape back, this matter is not normal!"

Xiao Zhan nodded subconsciously, also thinking about this matter.

"Let's bring the people back first," Tian Jing said, then stepped forward to pick up the unconscious captain of the guard, turned around and walked out of the room.

Xiao Zhan looked at Qiu Bufan and said in a deep voice:

"Seal the city at once, and let no one enter or leave."

Qiu Bufan was stunned:

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head:

"I can't tell you yet, but you do what I say."

"Remember, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city, and this is for your own good."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan also turned around and left.

Not long after, Xiao Zhan and the others returned to the Heavenly Mandate Sect.

Knowing that Xiao Zhan and Tian Jing had caught a person who had been infiltrated by demonic qi, Qin Yunzhong rushed to Xiao Zhan's residence as soon as possible.

At this time, the captain of the guard had already woken up, roaring wildly like a beast, and there was constantly black qi surging on his body, as if he was about to eat people.

Apparently he was completely enchanted.
