So, Yuan Ming followed Gu Zhiping and his party to escort Tao Wenlong directly back to the punishment hall, and immediately began an intensive interrogation.

In all kinds of elixir talismans? Under the persecution of torture weapons and other means, Tao Wenlong quickly opened his mouth and told all the information he knew.

"Are you saying that he is not really Tao Wenlong, but a loose cultivator who replaced his identity through magic and disguise?"

In the punishment hall, Yuan Ming was a little surprised when he heard Gu Zhiping's brief description of the interrogation results.

"That's right, he himself is just a loose cultivator who belongs to the Northern Netherworld Scattered Alliance, and this time he infiltrated my sect for a certain mission, but the person who needs to issue the task did not tell him the specific purpose of the mission, but just let him lurk in a low-key manner as Tao Wenlong, and will contact him if necessary." Gu Zhiping said.

"He" is so impostored, didn't Tao Wenlong's brothers notice anything unusual? Yuan Ming frowned.

"Tao Wenlong has a relatively withdrawn personality, and he didn't have many friends in the past, besides, he sneaked in, and then didn't have any abnormal behavior, he kept to himself every day, and almost never left Xiujie Peak, if it wasn't for Senior Brother Zhen, you found out that he fraudulently used the token, I'm afraid no one would have thought that he had changed people." Gu Zhiping said helplessly.

"About him. What is the matter of stealing tokens to enter the intelligence treasury? Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"It seems that in order to destroy a strange anecdote, according to him, the content is an experience of Senior Brother Cui of Changle Peak, he went out with a casual cultivator friend to look for medicine, and as a result, he encountered a third-level demon beast, and the two scrambled to flee for their lives, but only Senior Brother Cui survived.

I thought that this matter was over, but after a few days, Senior Brother Cui saw his friend moving like an ordinary person again, but his personality became diametrically opposite to before, and his memory was also missing. Gu Zhiping said, and he was also a little surprised.

However, after hearing this, Yuan Ming became puzzled: "This is the intelligence that the Northern Underworld Dispersion Alliance will destroy even if it does not hesitate to use shadows?" Doesn't sound like much to worry about. ”

"yes, I'm wondering, too! So I specially sent someone to find that Senior Brother Cui...... Alas, you see that the people are just coming back. Gu Zhiping said, and suddenly saw someone coming in a hurry, so he smiled and beckoned to him.

"Senior Brother Gu, I went to Changle Peak to inquire, and they all said that Senior Brother Cui left the sect a month ago and has not returned." The visitor said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Gu Zhiping and Yuan Ming's faces sank, knowing that this Senior Brother Cui knew something that he shouldn't know, and he was afraid that he would be more than lucky.

"Senior Brother Gu, this matter seems to be more serious than we thought, we should immediately report to the Guifeng Peak Master to avoid causing a big disaster." Yuan Ming said immediately.

"This is not very good, although we caught the undercover agent, but it is only a small fish, and after all, we have not found any key information now, and now it is a critical moment for the sect ceremony, and if we disturb his old man's house rashly, we may be blamed for not doing well." Gu Zhiping's tone was obviously a little reluctant.

Yuan Ming was about to persuade again, when he suddenly saw Shen Peng coming from outside and waved his hand at him.

"Senior Brother Zhen, I really made you right, in the twenty-one peaks, including the Spirit Shape Peak, there are a total of five peaks buried in this strange formation, I have asked my friends from the Formation Fu Hall to help analyze the formation, and it is estimated that I will soon be able to figure out its effect." Shen Peng said with some eyebrows, with a little excitement in his tone.

Yuan Mingyang pretended to be surprised and took the jade slip, and then his expression became serious.

"Senior Brother Gu, I have discovered key information here, the situation is urgent, please contact the peak master of your hall immediately, if there is any responsibility, I will bear it alone." Yuan Ming said in a tone that could not be refused.

Gu Zhiping also seemed to sense that something was wrong, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and took out the transmission note.

After a while, Di Tao, the peak master of Tao Peak, descended from the sky and strode into the punishment hall.

Yuan Ming inquired about the appearance of the twenty-one peak master in advance, and when he saw the visitor, he immediately greeted Gu Zhiping before he could come forward to report it.

"Uncle Di, I am the personal descendant of the Spirit Formation Peak, and I have something important to report to you." Yuan Ming said respectfully.

Di Tao frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied, Gu Zhiping immediately stepped forward when he saw this situation, and said that Yuan Ming was the one who caught the undercover agent in the sect.

Di Tao had already learned about the undercover matter, and when he learned that it was Yuan Ming's meritorious service, his attitude suddenly eased a lot, nodded at him, and signaled that he had something to say.

"Uncle Qiyu, the disciple has found three abnormal things in the sect these days, one of which is the undercover theft of tokens, and the second is that the disciple's master once talked to an old man in black with a strange momentum in the cave, the disciple was uneasy, so he privately recorded the portrait of that person, and now it is in this piece of jade, and the third is that the disciple found a special formation covering the entire mountain peak in the Spirit Peak, I don't know who spread it, the disciple also wrote it down, and found a similar formation in the four peaks, it seems that the teacher has the same origin."

Yuan Ming said quickly, and then handed out two pieces of jade slips.

These three things are not worth paying attention to separately, but once they are put together, you can understand the meaning of what he implied.

After listening to his words, Di Tao frowned, looked at Yuan Ming for a moment, and still took the jade slip.

But when he saw the old man's appearance of Yu Jian, his face suddenly changed greatly, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

In the next moment, he suddenly picked up his hand and played a spell, and the azure aura fell on Yuan Ming's body and instantly turned into shackles, locking Yuan Ming's hands and feet.

His actions surprised everyone present, and although Yuan Ming was prepared, he couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Di Tao so decisive.

"Listen to Taofeng's disciples, before I come back, you will strictly guard Zhen Luo, and you will not let him escape, nor will anyone torture him."

Di Tao commanded sharply, and then hurriedly left the punishment hall, his body turned into a ray of light, and galloped straight towards the Heavenly Sect Master Peak.

When everyone saw Di Tao leave in a hurry, they were all a little confused, only Yuan Ming knew that he was going to report the situation to the Yuanying Old Ancestor, and while breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, he arched his hand towards Gu Zhiping, and asked calmly: "I'm going to worry about Senior Brother Gu next, I don't know if there is a secluded room in the hall, so it's convenient for Senior Brother to take care of it." ”

In the second half of the night, Chaotian Sect Main Peak.

The two ancestors of the Yuan Infant Period, who had been in retreat all year round, suddenly appeared, summoned the twenty-one peak masters to the main peak to discuss, and the meeting lasted until the early morning of the second day, when the first ray of sunlight fell in the Chaotian Sect, the closed door of the main peak hall suddenly opened, but only sixteen of the twenty-one peak masters came out of the main hall again.

At the same time, in the Punishment Hall, the hall master who had received Di Tao's order also released Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming stood in the sunlight again, and he couldn't help but show a smile when he learned that his master, as well as the other four peak masters, had been punished for being disrespectful and thinking about the main peak.

However, half an hour later, when he realized that he had not left the phantom array, the smile on his face was gone.

In the Spirit-shaped Peak Wing, Yuan Ming frowned, pacing back and forth in the room, thinking about possible mistakes.

After his efforts, most of the unfavorable factors in the battle for the destruction of Chaotian Sect have been eradicated, and the only thing left may be the mysterious gray-clothed old man who is the head of the rebellion.

But that person is a primordial infant monk, so he can't really let himself be a foundation building monk to deal with him, right?

Yuan Ming sighed, and when he looked up, he saw a picture scroll hanging on the wall. In the painting, Shen Lingyun, who is dressed in a pure white robe, has eyes like water, soft and clear, and the smile on his face is as warm as the warm winter sun.

In front of him, Zhen Luo, dressed in shabby clothes, knelt down and bowed, his face in the painting was full of tears, as if he had just experienced an unspeakable ordeal.

The two people in the painting are in different backgrounds, and under the contrast of light and dark, it seems to vaguely express the artist's deep longing and longing.

In the lower right corner of the scroll, the name of the painting is written, and there are only two words? Master.

Yuan Ming stared at the picture scroll, only to feel that in his mind, a spiritual light flashed, and the memories since entering the phantom array came flooding back, and finally they were completely connected.

Shen Lingyun is a soul cultivator, but he calls the old man in gray a master, but judging from the last time the old man in gray made a move, he is not a soul cultivator.

Who gave Shen Lingyun's soul cultivation method? Is it the result of adventure?

But how difficult it is to cultivate the law and soul, Yuan Ming himself also relied on stealing Tianding, plus many opportunities to barely get to this point, Shen Lingyun not only had to go undercover in Chaotian Sect, but also concealed the identity of soul cultivation from the old man in gray, where did he get the resources to support himself to this point?

In addition, the information that the Northern Netherworld Scattered Alliance specially sent people to destroy only mentioned a special demon beast, why did it cost such a big price to wipe it out?

If you associate this problem with the word "soul cultivation", all problems will be solved.

The means of soul cultivation, aside from the signature techniques such as illusions, are actually an extension of the soul refining in essence.

Knowing what a soul cultivator's refining thing is, although it is not possible to completely infer the specific ability of soul cultivation, it can at least understand a general range of ability.

For example, Sha Hao and the Great Elder's blood bats, the most prominent feature is the "sound wave", and Yuan Ming's soul crow is the most important thing to "travel far".

The information erased by the Northern Helldispersal Alliance may imply information about a key person.

Yuan Ming realized this, and immediately rushed out of the wing room without saying a word, rushed to the punishment hall and found Gu Zhiping again, and couldn't help but say: "Senior Brother Gu, please help me inform Uncle Di, I have something important to report." ”
