Just as Yan Ning slowly closed her eyes, ready to accept the coming ending.

But there was a strange scene that he will never forget!

In the gray sky, the thunderclouds that were originally rolling in and the winding and terrifying thunder python suddenly scattered at both ends without warning, as if they were frightened.

In the middle of it, a pitch-black mass appeared.

If you look closely, this pitch-black ball is actually composed of extremely fine black thunder and lightning!

These black thunderbolts are extremely deep in color, intertwined and silent, as if they come from the unknown in the endless abyss, and even the eyes that look past can swallow them.

From this dark and strange thunderball, Yan Ning could faintly feel a terrifying aura that seemed to destroy the world. This aura was completely beyond the scope of his cognition, it had nothing to do with the realm of mana, it came from the tremor of the soul and a kind of awe that he couldn't tell.

The thunderclouds scattered on both sides were churning and surging at this time, and the momentum was so majestic that it was as if they were welcoming the emperor out on patrol, guarding this black thunderbolt and slowly approaching Yan Ning.

Yan Ning was a little frightened by the sudden appearance of black thunder and lightning in the air, as well as the subsequent scene.

For a while, he stood still.

He had heard of the characteristics of lightning and lightning, and he could tell the size and type of power by its color. But the black thunder and lightning in front of him was indeed unheard of. How can we explain the obviously spiritual actions of those thunderclouds just now?

The incomparably violent energy in the 'Thunder Fire God Exterminating Array' had come to an abrupt end with the appearance of the black thunderball.

But the aura of destruction that followed that seemed to make the gods tremble made people feel even more terrifying.

Although Yan Ning had been mentally prepared for the fall before, in his opinion, the unknown fear of the scene in front of him was even more terrifying than the fall and death and thunder and fire.

Because this black thunder and lightning is getting closer and closer to him!

As the distance narrowed, Yan Ning finally saw the specific form of the thunderball.

The size of a fist, deep and dark. Hair-like arcs were tightly woven and entwined, each one exuding a terrifying power that suffocated him.

In the center of the dense arc, a cylindrical object can be faintly seen.

The thumb is thick and thin, and it is also dark and deep.

After this thing came to Yan Ning's body, it kept circling around him, as if it was examining him. After spinning back and forth for a moment, some cheers and jumps flashed in front of his eyes.

Yan Ning froze on the spot, holding his breath and concentrating, his whole body soaked with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

The black thunderball was half an inch in front of his face, and the unknown terrifying aura coming from the darkness set off him as small as dust.

But such a close specific contact, without the slightest damage, made him very puzzled.

After another cup of tea, it seemed that after confirming this spiritual thunderball, and there seemed to be no malice towards him, Yan Ning carefully released his divine thoughts, ready to investigate carefully.

And just as his mind left his body, the mutation arose!

The small cylinder in the center of the arc felt the power of Yan Ning's divine thoughts, and suddenly it spun and jumped, as if it had accepted an invitation, and suddenly rushed towards Yan Ning Zhihai with a "whoosh", and disappeared into it.

Yan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then a sharp pain came from the sea of knowledge as if it was about to tear him apart.

Before he could react, he lost consciousness and knew nothing.

At this time, Yan Ning's whole body was already wrapped in a layer of pitch-black arc. The long hair was scattered, the eyes were as black as ink, and the body hung in the air and twitched and trembled.

The lightning that seeped from his body continued to increase, enveloping him like a giant black silkworm chrysalis.

Immediately after, the black chrysalis flashed with a dim light and rushed towards the sky above the mountain.

When he was about to touch the inner wall of the mountain, he saw a black hole with a width of one foot suddenly appear in the sky.

The black chrysalis that enveloped Yan Ning disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The black hole was instantly closed, and then the entire mountain shook violently, and the belly of the mountain also collapsed at this time. Countless pillars of lightning and fire gathered in the array erupted in all directions as if they had found an outlet.

The white thunderbolt python was accompanied by a huge roar, soaring into the sky!

Within a radius of more than ten miles, thunder and fire suddenly shone brightly, and smoke and dust filled the air, like purgatory.

The originally towering mountain has long been shattered.

Thin sand and rubble rolled the remnants of the dead wood, turning the neighborhood into ruins.

Zhao Jinyun looked at the ruins not far in front of him with palpitations, the extremely violent thunder energy in the center of it, and the thunderclouds rolling and whistling in the sky, made him cry out in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw the situation just now and quickly fled from this place, maybe he would have been affected by this terrifying energy at this time, and he would not be spared.

As for Yan Ning, even with that colorful scale armor to protect him, in such a powerful 'Thunder and Fire Exterminating God Array', there was absolutely no hope of surviving.

So Zhao Jinyun didn't care about continuing to investigate, and quickly turned around and left.

There is such a big commotion here, and it is sure that many monks will come to find out soon, and it will not be easy to get out smoothly without leaving at this time.

Moreover, it is imperative to get the narrative in place. can not only make everyone believe that it was an accident that caused Yan Ning's death, but also reduce his responsibility. If people perceive the slightest suspicion, then it will be difficult for him to die by then.

Fortunately, the huge movement of the 'Thunder and Fire God Destroying Array' has destroyed all the evidence. As long as the matter is recounted reasonably, the elders will not search for their souls.

Zhao Jinyun, who had made up his mind, opened his speed at full speed, and flew away towards the Cangyun Sect without hesitating his spiritual power.

Along the way, even the time for meditation and recovery was saved, and it was all supported by spirit stones.

The original half-year journey took him less than four months to rush back.

At the realm of the Cangyun Sect that had just arrived, Zhao Jinyun hurriedly sent several transmission notes to the Qingxu Dao people. Before he arrived at the sect, he was robbed by the Qingxu Daoist who received the transmission.

At this time, the Qingxu Daoist completely lost his unfazed appearance in the past, and his strong Jindan mid-stage cultivation was agitated, and the terrifying power was mixed with the sound of divine thoughts, which instantly enveloped Zhao Jinyun.

"What the hell is going on, you tell me the truth!!"

Zhao Jinyun felt that it was extremely difficult for him to even breathe, and he knelt in front of the Qingxu Daoist with trembling all over his body and cried loudly.

"Master, it's all the disciple's fault, it's the disciple who harmed the junior brother!!"

Zhao Jinyun's voice was full of guilt and self-blame, he was usually well-dressed, but he was already unkempt. The spiritual power of the whole body was severely depleted, which was obviously caused by the reckless rush.

Then he continued to tremble and narrated: "The disciple saw that the junior brother was depressed some time ago, so he invited him to go out with the disciple for a trip, so as to relieve the depression in his heart. It just so happened that the disciple got a ....... some time ago"

Qingxu Daoist stared at Zhao Jinyun who was kneeling and trembling at his feet expressionlessly, listening to him talk about where to get the Thunder Fire God Destroying Array Diagram, and how to let Yan Ning know and invite him to hunt for treasures together. Later, when he entered the belly of the mountain, how Yan Ning set the method of breaking the formation and what the two of them would do next.

In the end, he strengthened the Five Elements Mystery Array outside, and the belly of the mountain suddenly collapsed and turned into a ruin, and Yan Ning disappeared.

After explaining everything to the two of them, Zhao Jinyun looked up at Qingxu Daoist with tears on his face.

At this time, he felt that the pressure on his body had not decreased in the slightest, and he could even clearly feel the piercing chill coming from the Qingxu Dao person's body, and the green light on his right hand was even more flashing.

Zhao Jinyun's heart suddenly tightened, and then he cried even more miserably: "Master. . . When the junior brother wanted to enter the formation to absorb the spiritual power of the large array, the disciple also tried every possible way to persuade him, and also told the junior brother that he could come back and ask the master for help. However, the junior brother insisted on his own opinion, regardless of the opposition of the disciples, and repeatedly reassured me, saying that he was sure not to alarm the big array. ”

"When the mountain's belly collapsed, the disciple was consolidating the Five Elements Lost Trace Formation outside. But the change came too suddenly, and there was no time to rescue. The entire valley was reduced to ruins, and afterwards the disciples searched for it in every possible way, but there was no trace of the junior disciple. Even. . . Not even found. ”

"Ancestor!! your cultivation is a hundred times higher than that of your disciples, maybe you can find a way to find a junior disciple. The fluctuating energy was too terrifying, and the disciple was really lowly in cultivation, and he didn't dare to approach. Only then did he hurriedly and desperately come back to report to his uncle. ”

Zhao Jinyun was shocked by the killing intent of the Qingxu Daoist, and the names blurted out changed.

Constantly shaking his head, blaming himself, it looked really miserable.

After hearing his eager cry, Qingxu Daoren's expression twisted, and he hurriedly took out a jade plaque from the storage bag to examine it carefully.

This thing is the natal jade plate connected to Yan Ning's soul.

Each true disciple is responsible for the inheritance of the sect, so a trace of the divine soul mark will be attached to this jade tablet, so that the sect can control the situation at any time. When encountering danger, you can also rely on the induction between the jade plate and the disciple to rescue in time.

At present, although the divine soul imprint in this jade plaque has not dissipated, it is also very weak, and it is obvious that the owner of the jade plaque is in critical condition.

After taking back the jade plaque, the Qingxu Daoist let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at Zhao Jinyun coldly and said, "Give me the place you passed on this trip and everything you just said engraved into the jade slip, as well as the leather scroll engraved with the 'Thunder and Fire God Destroying Array'." ”

Zhao Jinyun hurriedly followed what he said, carved the jade slip and handed it over to the Qingxu Daoist along with the leather scroll.

"Do you know why the teacher changed your name to 'Jinyun'?" asked the Qingxu Daoist suddenly.

Zhao Jinyun shook his head blankly and said that he didn't know, he always thought that he had changed his name because he had entered the Qingxu Dao people's door.

"The reason why the teacher changed your name for you is that I hope you can be cautious in your words and deeds, and self-discipline. However, if what you said just now is noticed by the teacher and concealed in the slightest, then don't blame the teacher for not caring about the feelings of the master and apprentice. ”

After speaking, a blue light struck into Zhao Jinyun's body.

Before I had time to check, I heard the voice of the Qingxu Daoist who had flown away and said, "Go back and wait, before I go and return, you are not allowed to leave the sect without permission." ”

Zhao Jinyun looked at the Qingxu Daoist who was flying away and let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that the current level has been survived for the time being, and even if the master goes to investigate, he will not find any evidence. It's just that just now he obviously checked his junior brother's soul card, and he didn't know what the specific situation was, so he could only take one step at a time for today's plan.

.........

After the Qingxu Daoist left, he took out the flying magic weapon and hurried to the Yangping Mountain Range at an extremely fast speed.

The original verdant and aura-filled peaks have long been a mess.

Within a radius of several miles, rubble of various sizes and pitch-black charred wood can be seen everywhere. And in the center of the ruins, after nearly half a year, it is still full of dust and smoke, and thunderclouds are rolling.

A lot of monks have gathered nearby to inquire about the situation, some say that there is a treasure born here, and some say that it is the scene left by the powerful monk fighting here.

The statements are different, but the words are worded.

After the Qingxu Daoist arrived, he frowned and looked at the somewhat frightening scene in front of him, and it was conceivable what kind of critical situation Yan Ning, who was in the center of it that day, was facing. With his current cultivation in the middle of Jindan, he could only probe at the edge, let alone approach the center of the ruins rashly.

The violent aura of thunder and fire in the center made the nearby space seem to be a little staggered and disordered.

Unleashed his divine thoughts, he carefully searched the vicinity inch by inch, trying to find some traces left by the formation, so as to see some suspicions.

But apart from these ruins, there is no valuable information to be found.

Even the map on the scroll clearly pointed to this place, but there was no topography on it.

The Qingxu Daoist immediately took out Yan Ning's soul card and tried to find Yan Ning's location through the faint aura above, but unfortunately he didn't get the slightest response. searched all over the radius of a hundred miles, but still couldn't get any contact with Yan Ning.

The only thing that can be affirmed or fortunate is that Yan Ning is still alive, otherwise the soul card should have been broken at this moment.

But that faint aura of divine soul also meant that his current situation was critical, and he was not even around here at all.

According to Zhao Jinyun's previous statement, the Qingxu Daoist followed their trails all the way to visit and confirm. Even the famous Ding Xuan and the classic book shop that Yan Ning had visited in Yingxuan City were visited and found by him. But it is only to confirm that Yan Ning and the others have indeed settled here, and it is not of much value.

In a fit of rage, he tried to force his way into the center of the ruins to search.

But before he could get close, he was forced back by the tyrannical energy in it, and he almost died in it.

Gently stroking the soul card in his hand, the Qingxu Daoist muttered to himself: "Stinky boy, if you have more skills, you will be satisfied." I don't know if you can cope with this catastrophe safely, and whether my master and apprentice will ever see each other again......."

The Qingxu Daoist stared at the ruins in front of him, looking worried and not knowing what he was thinking.

On weekdays, he has always been calm and breezy, but his back looks a little depressed at the moment.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his body, and even the elongated shadow looked lonely.

.........

Zhao Jinyun, who returned to the sect, did not have time to rest and recover, but was found by Qinqing, who learned that he was the only one to return.

From beginning to end, Qin Qing only said two words to him: "What about people?"

Zhao Jinyun was hesitant and didn't know how to talk about it.

In the past, she looked at the arrogant and cold beautiful woman, but at this time she was more like a cold sword.

Without saying a word, the magic weapon that did not spare his hand came out, and Zhao Jinyun was immediately seriously injured and fell to the ground. That kind of undisguised cold chill and thunderous means made him powerless to parry.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the law enforcement elders, Zhao Jinyun might have fallen so aggrieved.

Qingxu Daoist investigated to no avail, and returned to Cangyun to find Zhao Jinyun to confront.

It was also after showing Qin Qing the Yanning Soul card that she felt a lot more at ease.

The news of Yan Ning's death outside the country then quietly spread in Cangyun Sect, and various versions have different versions, but all of them are directed at Zhao Jinyun without exception. This situation was obviously something he didn't expect, and he didn't know if it would make his cultivation path in the sect difficult in the future.

Spring goes to autumn, and cold and heat alternate.

Yan Ning's matter slowly faded with the passage of time, until it became a legend in people's mouths.

I don't know what year and month he will be when he sets foot on this land again.
