The hall was silent.

The person leaning on the edge of the side couch opened his eyes slightly, and his white ears moved almost imperceptibly.

The disciples who were guarding outside the main hall slacked off because of the departure of the peak master.

In the chat, the disciples left, and the remaining two also slowly arrived at the periphery of the main hall, looking towards the pear blossom forest, wondering why the peak master loved the pear blossom so much.

Jimo Yunran slowly got up and walked slowly to the table.

The next window seemed to be caressed by an invisible hand, closing silently, leaving no gaps.

Far away –

The man who was watching the window took a look of annoyance, looked around, and said a word to his companion, and got up and hurried to report the situation to their master.

Inside the temple.

The light was dimmed a little by the closed windows, but it still did not hide the outstanding temperament of the man.

With a tap of his fingertips, a thin white cloud of smoke lingered between his fingers and lingered in a regular circle.

A human face appeared in the smoke circle, completely indistinguishable from Jimo Yunran's appearance.

"Ahem, shouldn't I sigh and thank Your Excellency Demon Venerable for not forgetting my existence." Jimo Yunran in the circle covered his lips and coughed lightly, and rolled his eyes angrily.

"There's no need to be grateful, after all, every day in front of such a face, the deity will not forget."

Jimo Yunran—oh, no—Demon Venerable Qi Changyuan raised his eyebrows.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Mo Yunran's eyes showed a slightly complicated color: "Looking at my face like this, I actually feel a little weird." ”

"What's weird?"

"Hmm...... It's strange, maybe it's been a long time since I've seen a normal person's complexion on this face. ”

Ji Mo Yunran smiled, even if Qi Changyuan's face was extremely pale, in his opinion, it was still different from his own state.

Qi Changyuan glanced at him.

In the next moment, the person sitting at the table changed his appearance.

Jin Baiyu's familiar face belonging to the original eldest relative was revealed.

"How's it going for you to help me?"

"When did I go wrong?" A hint of pride appeared on Ji Mo Yunran's sick and haggard face, and he said lightly, "Following those clues you gave, we have found out the person who has been secretly investigating you behind your back all these years——"

Qi Changyuan is a Demon Venerable, so there are naturally many people who pay attention to his information.

There are also many righteous monks who secretly investigate him.

But in recent years, the Demon Venerable, who controlled the news channels of the cultivation realm, faintly sensed that something was wrong.

There is a cunning and mysterious force that has been quietly probing his clues, and the key thing is that they are not probing the ones that everyone in the cultivation realm is concerned about-what the Demon Venerable has done to lose his conscience, but about his various personal habits.

Qi Changyuan had searched for melons twice, but in the end he was gone.

And he himself was too lazy to pay more attention to those active little throbbing, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Until recently, especially since the Sumeru realm of Lingyun City, the third-party force that had been hidden for several years seemed to have secretly emerged again, and had been testing back and forth on the edge of his vigilance line.

- Of course!

These are not the reasons why Qi Changyuan specifically asked Jimo Yunran to help him investigate.

He was suddenly interested, he wanted to see what Jin Baiyu and his undercover subordinates were doing, and he needed a reasonable reason to discuss with Jimo Yunran.

So I casually made this excuse.

The perfunctory Jimo Yunran didn't know the Demon Venerable's little abacus at all, and he still explained the results of his investigation to Qi Changyuan in 1510.

"Those people are really hidden, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered their existence!"

"We were lucky enough to catch a clue! One of the forces directed at the person turned out to be one of the most talked about people in the cultivation world today - the young master of Minghua Island, Qiu Shui'an. ”

Qi Changyuan raised his eyes suddenly.

A dark light flashed in the dark pupils, a dark and brilliant gold, like strands of gold mixed with ink.

Jimo Yunran was stunned: "Do you know this person?" Although he is quite topical, his identity and strength are not enough - wait, what are you doing? ”

I saw that the Demon Venerable, who was originally sitting at the table with an indifferent face, suddenly stood up, his face was slightly gloomy, and his jaw was tensed in a hard arc.

"We'll talk about that another day."

He didn't give any explanation, nor did he explain what he was going to do, and waved his sleeves.

The smoke cleared.

In the blink of an eye, his slender figure disappeared in place.

The hall was empty and silent, as if no one had ever been there.

——

A quarter of an hour ago.

Deep in the Forbidden Land.

A snow-white woman lay on the ground, motionless, and looked unconscious.

Wisps of black mist escaped from the surroundings, like an invisible hand, trapping the woman firmly in it.

The sound of rattling sounded from all around,

Huge chains poured out of the dark forest, as if they had their own consciousness, and headed towards the woman.

In all directions, there is not a single gap.

Jin Baiyu closed her eyes tightly, and her face turned pale.

In the Sea of Consciousness –

"That's what you said, my spiritual power is not affected in any way?"

The little white tuanzi on the side coughed awkwardly and muttered: "It's true that it's not affected by the formation, I'm not wrong, you weren't stunned by the forbidden spirit formation!" ”

Jin Baiyu: "......"

Xiaobai Tuanzi seemed to have found a reason for himself, pursed his lips, and said with a heartfelt voice: "Speaking of which, I have to say two sentences to you, as the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable!" How could you be conspired against by that disciple casually! ”

"I can expect that he is already drowsy, and he still has something hidden in his hand that will plot against me at any time?"

Jin Baiyu rolled her eyes angrily.

It makes her angry when you say it.

It's not that Qi Cha Cha didn't notice it as a system, but Qi himself subconsciously relaxed his vigilance because he was a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

Of course, the image of that disciple who was embarrassed and weak also had a certain impact.

Sighing silently, Jin Baiyu frowned and said, "What should I do now?" ”

Fortunately, because she still has spiritual power, the person who plotted against her probably didn't expect this experience, and the amount of medicine was insufficient, so that although her body had fainted, her consciousness was still awake.

- Although it was not a good thing to soberly watch herself besieged, to see those terrible chains binding her body overwhelmingly.

"Don't worry, you'll be back soon!"

Cha Cha returned to her previous vow, "I'm already helping you deal with the effects of drugs in your body, and it won't be long before you can resume your actions." ”
