On the top of a mountain peak, a figure dressed in black robe stood, unable to see the appearance and expression of the figure under a pumpkin-like mask on his face.

"Isn't there something wrong with your reasoning?" Shangguan Yu muttered to himself.

At this time, it had been more than a month since he left the Xuanmen, but it was obviously a needle in a haystack to find the enemy's lair in the direction from which the corpse Edgeworth had flown from.

According to Shangguan Yu's reasoning, if the enemy used a very obscure technique to control the corpse of the sword to fly, the enemy's lair must not be far from the Xuanmen.

Now he spent a lot of time searching for the mountains dozens of miles west of Xuanmen, but he found nothing suspicious, which made him wonder if he was looking in the wrong direction.

Since the other party has the courage to control the corpse to come to the Xuanmen Gate, it means that the other party cannot deliberately do the purpose of pointing fingers and attacking the west, and since he wants to demonstrate to the Xuanmen, he will not beat around the bush.

For ordinary cultivators, the control range of the technique is only a few miles away, and this is already the limit. And for some Xeon, the control range of tens of miles is already the limit.

These days, he not only searched in this direction, but also carefully explored the mission area where the Xuanmen disciples disappeared in this direction, and still did not find any clues.

After this series of explorations, he ruled out all possibilities of existence.

Since someone took the initiative to provoke Xuanmen, he would definitely not make a fool of himself.

Shangguan Yu looked at the sky, it was already dusk at this time, and a few miles to the west was the nearest town to Xuanmen, and at this moment, he could vaguely see bursts of cooking smoke rising from the town in the distance.

Since the other party is familiar with alchemy, there is no doubt that he must be an immortal cultivator, but it is impossible for an immortal cultivator to live in the mortal realm.

The smell of fireworks in the mortal realm was very strong, and the aura was chaotic, so it was not easy to cultivate at all, so Shangguan Yu did not consider that the corpse refiner was hiding in the town, which was extremely unreasonable.

"Corpse refiner? What kind of person is it" Shangguan Yu thought of the corpse he found again, his internal organs had been hollowed out, and his body was empty, but the physique of the corpse was also extremely ordinary, so how did the person who performed the spell make his sword fly?

Edgeworth's flight requires two basic conditions, one is the sealing of the magic seal, and the other is the condensation of the aura in the body.

Condense aura?

"Is it?" Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered another possibility.

If the other party does not use a technique, but a talisman, it is a completely different situation.

The so-called talisman is a talisman refined by some talismans, which is also a kind of immortal method. At the beginning, the spread of the talisman began with the rise of a great prosperity of a talisman saint, and now it continues to this day, and the biggest role of the talisman is to condense the mountain protection array and protect the immortal gate from being detected or attacked by outsiders.

But as far as he knows, the use of runes does not stop there, according to the records, in the era of great prosperity, there are many types of runes, and runes have a power comparable to the current five elements attribute spirit root.

If the other party is a talisman, this matter will be troublesome.

For Shangguan Yu, Fu Shi is simply a strange field.

However, all this was Shangguan Yu's speculation, but now all kinds of signs indicate that the other party is very likely to be a talisman master.

The control range of a normal immortal cultivator's technique is already the limit within a few miles, and if the corpse is not hit by the technique, but has a talisman hidden in the body that can condense the aura, and can freely absorb the aura of heaven and earth, then it is normal for the corpse to be able to fly outside the Xuanmen with a sword.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yu immediately made a decision, since it had taken more than a month, he didn't care about spending more time.

At that moment, the flying body swept up, and a golden long sword appeared, pinching the trick with one hand, and the sword flew directly towards the distance.

All the way to the west, we came to the town.

However, instead of stepping into the town, he stopped on a hill to the east of the town and walked into a small ruined temple.

For immortal cultivators, it is naturally good not to be in contact with mortals.

In the middle of the night, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the cool breeze of the night blew into this dilapidated small temple, and the burning sparks in the temple were completely blown out by this strange wind, and at the same time disturbed the meditating Shangguan Yu.

The vigilant gaze under the pumpkin mask swept outside the temple.

Suddenly、、、 a thunderbolt on a sunny day instantly illuminated the entire earth.

It was this flash of light that made Shangguan Yu's body cold, and there was a figure standing outside the temple at this moment, with tattered clothes, a stiff body, no eyes, and a pair of holes.

Thorn 、、、

Shangguan Yu forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and a fire wheel transformed by the fire attribute appeared on his right hand, and the fire wheel rotated rapidly, bringing gusts of wind.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without the slightest hesitation, the best defense for him is to attack.

No matter who the other party is, the first strike is stronger.

The moment the fire wheel was released, the golden spear of metal condensation was held in his hand, and the first round of attacks had not yet arrived, and the second round of attacks had already been launched brazenly.

However, in the face of the flying out of the fire wheel, the figure stood still and did not move, the fire wheel hit directly, and then the spear pierced the figure's throat directly.

Under a set of attacks, the figure fell to the ground as the spear was withdrawn.

clang

The golden spear fell to the ground, and at this moment, Shangguan Yu's hands trembled nervously, and his legs were a little weak.

Thinking of it, his back was shocked into a cold sweat, and when he went out alone, he was so close to someone without knowing it, and he didn't know that if it weren't for that thunderbolt, he wouldn't have known that there was someone outside the temple.

Outside, this situation was a fatal mistake for him.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Shangguan Yu wanted to burn it with a fire, but the moment he made a move, he smelled a putrid smell.

At that moment, the upper body of the corpse was cut with the tip of the gun.

The scene in front of him was the same as the corpse he had seen at the beginning, the internal organs in his body were empty, and the slight difference was that there was a piece of paper in the body of this corpse, a dry yellow paper, and there were strange magic marks densely painted on it.

"Sure enough, it's a spirit rune、、、" Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yu burned the spirit rune and the corpse together.

Now, there is good news and bad news for him.

The good news was that Day's guess was right, the corpse refiner was a talisman, and he was sure that he was not far from the talisman at the moment, maybe right under his nose.

The bad news is that the other party is a talisman, and if it is said to be one-on-one, there is no chance of winning at all.

The talisman has a great advantage in a one-on-one situation, and the other party is still a corpse refiner.

He knew now that he had to make a choice. The shot just now completely exposed his whereabouts, or he searched for several miles from the corpse to the other side; Either return to Genmon to seek support.

For these two choices, Shangguan Yu prefers the latter.

In terms of his current ability, a person who continues to pursue is no different from seeking death.

"For such a demon, it's not worth losing your life"

"But if you don't deal with it, even if other disciples come, you will still face death."

"It's better for others to die than to die for yourself, at least to live."

"Putting someone else's life in exchange for your own livelihood? Is this the way you want to go? ”

Shangguan Yu stood outside the temple, hesitating for a long time in his heart.

He was afraid of death, he was more afraid of death than anyone else.

Until now, how stupid and honorable it was for him to promise to become this special organization in the first place, even if he fell today in pursuit of that perverted corpse refiner, no one would know that he died to protect others.

Even, when he died, the roster of Xuanmen did not have the word Shangguan Yu on it.

No one knows what your name is, what your identity is, and why you died.

At this moment, he didn't know what he was doing?

For the sake of a belief in his heart, he left the Xuanmen dozens of miles away to hunt down a villain who didn't know the strength of the other party at all.

His brain went blank, what did he get by doing so?

If he leaves now and resigns from this organization, he can practice in the right and bright, and with the strength of his Five Elements Attribute Spiritual Root, he can definitely crush any disciple of the same class, become a model for others, and be worshiped by others.

Shangguan Yu slowly took off his mask, looked down at the finely carved pumpkin mask, and smiled bitterly.

Maybe I'm not as great as I thought I was.

It's too late to turn back.

The cold wind blew the body, raindrops drifted in the night, and Shangguan Yu stood in place, not knowing why.

After a long 、、、, he picked up the mask that had slipped from his hand again.

Shadow, the guardian shadow of the darkness.

As an immortal cultivator, you should have the appearance of an immortal cultivator. Even if no one can understand me and understand me, I will still face adversity.

Even if it's for nothing else, for the sake of the group of idiots in the Xuanmen, he should kill all the rebels who threaten the Xuanmen.

"One day, I will tell them openly: You idiots, without my protection, you would have become a lonely ghost."

Shangguan Yu brought a pumpkin mask that had been carefully prepared for three days, and this time, he would never take it off easily.

There are always people who have to carry the weight of others.

And he is the pioneer.

During the night, the rain became heavier and heavier.

Shangguan Yu's sword flew, with the small temple as the center, and explored the radius of several miles with his divine sense.

Click、、、

Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell, and Shangguan Yu's whole person was directly hit by the thunderbolt, and his body fell from mid-air like a charred body.

"Old man, Westinghouse seems to have collapsed"

"Don't talk nonsense, the thatched house in the west room was just finished two days ago, how can you step on it? Are you having nightmares? ”

"I just heard a loud noise from the Westinghouse, it must be the Westinghouse collapsed, you go and take a look"

"You old woman is very annoying, it's raining in the middle of the night, whoever likes to see it, I won't go"

"Oops、、、" In a small room, the old man screamed and was kicked out of bed by the old woman.

"Be quiet, don't wake up the smoke," the old woman scolded in a low voice, "Go and see, there must be a noise over there."

In a family, the old man reluctantly put on a ragged shirt and a robe, and walked out of the main house in a daze and came to the front of the West House.

The black rumbling could not see anything, but in the light of the lightning he could see a large hole in the roof.

"Oh, I was really told by the old woman, it really collapsed" The old man saw this, sighed, and was about to go back to tell the old woman, but he tripped over something under his feet and fell on his head.
