Chapter 337: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Zhong Lingyu, she...... How did she ......"
Everyone recognized at a glance that the woman in the red dress was Zhong Lingyu, Hong Jian's eyes showed disbelief, and he pointed at Zhong Lingyu and said in a trembling voice.
"He's not Zhong Lingyu. ”
Qiao Yuan forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, the strange light in his eyes flashed, and he said softly.
He had encountered something similar before, Fang Sheng's junior brother, the black-clothed young man, had been occupied by the soul of the Soul Dao before.
Seeing Zhong Lingyu now, Qiao Yuan's first reaction was that Zhong Lingyu should be in the same situation as the young man in black.
It's just that the black-clothed young man who was occupied by the soul of the Upper Soul Dao was still building a foundation and cultivating perfectly, but Zhong Lingyu in front of him had the cultivation of the early stage of Jindan.
"Who is she not Zhong Lingyu......? Her cultivation has reached the early stage of Jindan?"
Hong Jian exclaimed, although he also saw that Zhong Lingyu at this moment was very different from the original in terms of expression and temperament, as if it were two people, but he still found it difficult to accept this scene.
Zhong Lingyu and Sanzhang Blood Eagle on the top of the mountain all discovered Qiao Yuan and the others, but they didn't even look at them, in their eyes, Qiao Yuan and the others were really not worth mentioning.
Qiao Yuan and the others naturally did not rush up to participate in this battle recklessly, but they swept their senses, but they saw the entire mountain top completely.
The eagle statue on the top of the mountain, Li Chengde and Chen Maoan who don't know whether they are alive or dead under the statue, and the nine stone pillars surrounding the statue, now only one stone pillar has an injured six-foot blood eagle squatting on it.
Of course, there is also Pei Hongyu, who is standing on the edge of the cliff, shocked and excited.
Pei Hongyu also found Qiao Yuan and the others, but he just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, he didn't mean to go over to say hello at all, and even when Pei Hongyu saw Qiao Yuan and the others, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed with a strange light, he didn't look at Pei Hongyu, but at the huge statue on the top of the mountain.
Although the statue had broken its beak and lost a claw, when he saw those sharp eagle eyes, Qiao Yuan suddenly had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it there before.
"On the altar of the formation at the bottom of the lake. ”
After a few breaths, Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed and he muttered in a low voice.
He had indeed seen the statue before, and just before he had gone into the deepest part of the lake, where the center of the Great Sealing Array was located, when he was looking for the roots of the tree for Cangtai.
There was a three-tiered four-sided altar, and on the four sides of the altar were carved four spirit animals, namely an ape, an eagle, a fish, and a snake.
Although the carved eagle is slightly different from this statue, their eagle eyes are almost identical, especially the momentum of the eagle's eyes, which makes people dare not look at it directly.
"Master, this eagle is the same as the blue-eyed spirit ape, it was the spirit animal of Lietian Xiu back then, but now it is completely dead. ”
At this time, Cangtai's words came into Qiao Yuan's mind.
"Where did that statue come from?"
Qiao Yuan was not surprised, but his eyes flashed with curiosity, and he asked softly.
"There were three people who came here with the old slave back then, and one of the three of them had a magic weapon that was quite domineering, and he could petrify everything in heaven and earth shrouded in the light of the magic weapon, and this statue should be what the eagle looked like after being petrified. ”
When Qiao Yuan heard Mrs. Cang's words, he immediately stayed on the spot, he never expected this statue to come like this.
Look at the statue, its wings are spread to the fullest, its body is leaning forward, its claws are almost off the ground, and a pair of eagle eyes are even more powerful.
Lifelike, if it weren't for its motionlessness, I'm afraid everyone would think that it was a living eagle.
"Then these silver-eyed blood eagles should be the descendants of this statue eagle, in this case, will there be a blue-eyed spirit ape in this secret realm, or the goldfish and python?"
Qiao Yuan secretly said in his heart, and at the same time, these words were also heard by Mrs. Cang, and after a while, Mrs. Cang came out with a burst of uncertain words.
"Master, the old slave has heard that there is a spirit beast garden in this medicine garden, which is specially used by Lie Tianxiu to raise spirit beasts, and now it seems that this place is very likely to be the spirit beast garden. ”
"What's so strange about this Spirit Animal Garden?"
Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a look of interest, and the voice asked.
"The Spirit Beast Garden is indeed a bit strange, there are many demon beasts in this Spirit Beast Garden, and it is more dangerous than other places. ”
Mrs. Cang paused for a moment, and then said unhurriedly.
"The most important thing is that this place exists at the junction of the second and third regions, and the space is much more stable than the second area, but it is not as good as the third area, which is why they used the power of the Jindan period, and this place is still not affected. ”
"Of course, this has something to do with the Cloud Formation, but the most important thing is that the space here is much more stable than the second area. ”
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he was greatly surprised, and then he turned his eyes to the winding empty river in the distance.
There is also the big mountain that towers on the edge of the empty river, the purpose of his coming to this secret realm is for that mountain, Qiao Yuan wants to see if that mountain is the peak on Qu Yunwei's jade map.
"Could it be that the place I'm looking for is in the Third District?"
At this moment, such a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, which made his eyes can't help but show a look of confusion.
If this is really the case, how could Grandpa Zhan know that the herb is in the third region, and there is also a map of the third region, and even Qu Yunwei also has a map of the third region, all of which shows that the third region has never been a secret, and it seems that many people know it.
"Cangtai, have you been to the third area?"
After a short period of confusion, Qiao Yuan immediately said urgently.
"The third area is where the cave of the Burning Heaven Cultivation is located, and the protection is extremely strong, and the old slave has never been there. ”
After Qiao Yuan heard this, his eyes were even more confused, even Cangtai had never been to the third area, so where did his map and Qu Yunwei's map come from.
"It shouldn't be possible. ”
Qiao Yuan said secretly, he could only believe that he might have seen it wrong, the mountain that was half-hidden by clouds and mist was not the peak on Qu Yunwei's map, and the place recorded on their map could not be in the third area.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan immediately dispersed the distracting thoughts in his heart, he was afraid that the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his brain would become, he was at a critical juncture at this moment, and it was definitely not the time to think nonsense.
After dissipating his distracting thoughts, Qiao Yuan set his eyes on Zhong Lingyu and Sanzhang Blood Eagle, who were fighting fiercely in the sky.
During this time, Hong Jian, Qin Shuyue and the others were silent and quietly watched Zhong Lingyu and Sanzhang Blood Eagle fight.
However, although they were all paying attention to the battle, everyone's hearts were alive, and one of the questions that everyone thought about the most was "where is the blue heavenly fruit".
The divine sense swept over the top of the mountain over and over again, but they did not find any trace of the blue heavenly fruit, which made everyone immediately puzzled.
"I'm afraid things will change, everyone must be careful. ”
Qiao Yuan turned his head to look at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Qu Yunwei and said softly.
For some reason, he always felt that this matter was not simple, and now that he had not seen any trace of Bi Tianguo, he felt that this matter was even more strange, as if there was a pair of invisible hands secretly pushing them here.
Qiao Yuan's eyes sank, and he couldn't help but think carefully about the things before and after entering the secret realm.
The beginning of the matter was that Pei Hongyu's junior brother chased a young beast that looked like a wolf and a deer and discovered this secret realm, but now they didn't see that kind of wolf-like demon beast.
Then Pei Hongyu's junior brother heard an angry roar again, he said that the roar was a wolf-like deer demon beast with a size of more than ten zhang, and then he also saw a demon beast with a body like a mountain.
"The man must have lied. ”
Qiao Yuan secretly said in his heart, he didn't know the situation of this secret realm before, but now he knew that it was impossible for a third-order demon beast to act at will in this secret realm.
This alone was enough for Qiao Yuan to judge that Pei Hongyu's junior brother was lying, but why did he lie, Qiao Yuan was puzzled.
"That person is just an ordinary late-stage foundation building monk, why on earth did he lie, could it be that he wanted to scare others and let people not come to this secret realm?"
Qiao Yuan thought to himself in his heart, thinking of many possibilities, but he felt that it was too far-fetched.
"Hurry back!"
At this moment, Xue Yu let out a loud shout and woke up Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan looked up and saw that the battle above the top of the mountain had reached its most intense time.
Zhong Lingyu didn't know what spell he had cast, and a monstrous sea of fire instantly filled the entire mountaintop, and the sea of fire was rapidly spreading below.
Qiao Yuan's eyes showed a look of horror, and the eight wind cyclones behind him quickly condensed out, and without the slightest hesitation, they retreated towards the clouds and mist below.
The others were also shocked, and each used full speed to escape towards the bottom of the mountain.
Including Pei Hongyu, who was standing on the top of the mountain, also had a shocked look in his eyes, jumped directly from the cliff, and flew quickly towards the bottom of the mountain.
The battle reached the most intense moment, and Pei Hongyu's master could no longer distinguish between scruples about Pei Hongyu.
At this moment, everyone withdrew from the top of the mountain, completely handing over the wide mountain top to Zhong Lingyu and the silver-eyed blood eagle.
Qiao Yuan and the others saw that the sea of fire had only spread to the clouds and had not entered the clouds, so they breathed a sigh of relief and stopped not far away.
In the clouds, they could still only see ten zhang away, but they could feel the scorching heat coming from above, and they could also see the fiery red light from the clouds above.
The fiery red clouds are like fiery clouds in the sunset, which looks very beautiful, but Qiao Yuan and the others did not have the heart to appreciate it, but thought about it in their hearts.
At this moment, a vague phantom flashed away from not far from Qiao Yuan and the others, heading straight for the top of the mountain.
The phantom was extremely fast, and it disappeared almost as soon as it appeared, so there were very few people who found it, Qu Yunwei, Qin Shuyue, Xue Yu, and Qiao Yuan noticed a trace of abnormality.
"Did you just see anything going by?"
Xue Yu showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, looked up at the direction where the phantom disappeared, and asked softly.
Hong Jian, Lu Nan, Qin Shulang, and Yan Li didn't notice it, they turned their heads and didn't speak, but Qin Shuyue opened his mouth slightly, and there was a crisp and pleasant voice.
"I just ...... It was as if I saw a person passing. ”
