After all the cultivators were withdrawn, calm regained at the southern foot of Yuluo Mountain.

No outsider knew that Cui Daoyou, the Blood Light Demon Dao who was once known as the No. 1 Ning Dan Monk of the Dongyun Kingdom, had been planted silently in this nameless small valley.

Yes, Cui Daoyou planted it badly this time. Not only was the body destroyed after hundreds of years of penance, but the Yuan Shen and Jin Dan were captured by the ancestors of the Lian family who were both in the Ning Dan period, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as better than death.

The ancestor of the Lian family thinks that he has done a good job in this matter.

But he never expected that just a few days later, in the palace of King Xiao in the imperial city of the Dajin Kingdom, a mysterious figure wearing a black ghost head mask and a crimson cloak received a transmission note. The person who sent the note told the whole story clearly, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes at the time.

............

More than three months have passed.

Now, Lin Quan no longer refines talismans and puppets. The extra part of his time was spent on cultivating the "Holy Armor Returning to the Yuan Technique" and the Enlightenment Array Dao Technique.

Because after more than nine months of continuous hard work, he already has more than 5,000 various talismans and more than 100 puppets on hand. If you save a little, it should be enough to deal with the task of the Ghost King Hall for about a year. Besides, the materials in his hands have also been squandered, even if he wants to refine them, it is "difficult for a good woman to cook without rice".

The vast majority of these runes are first-order mid-to-high-level fire-based rune seals, which are just right for dealing with yin-attribute ghosts. In addition, he also used the demon beast skins harvested in the secret realm to refine more than 100 first-order top-level talisman seals. As for the second-order rune seal, he simply gave up after only a few attempts. There was no way, the time for him to advance the condensation was too short, and he hadn't cultivated the second-order spells himself, and it was completely whimsical to refine them into rune seals.

More than 100 new puppets were all first-order top-level puppets made of fine silver glossy wood.

Most of them were his most skilled puppet leopards, and he had made nine humanoid puppets to round up with the only one that had survived. and the puppet giant apes that he got from Yue Tianying were also repaired by him, and he copied more than a dozen of them. These defensive golems are natural meat shields, and with them in front, humanoid golems and puppet leopards can safely carry out long-range attacks in the back.

The results of these nine months are divided into more than a dozen small pockets. Then he happily swallowed three blood-red pills and continued to cultivate the Sacred Armor Returning to the Yuan Technique.

After half a year of uninterrupted hard practice, his first level of cultivation has been completed, and he faintly feels that a breakthrough is imminent. Therefore, he really wanted to break through the bottleneck of the first layer before the training task, and see how much power the Blue Dragon Battle Armor could improve.

Lin Quan entered the house for two whole days this time.

At this time, a faint blood-red mist shrouded his body, and a faint cyan light flickered on his chest.

Gradually, the corners of his forehead were covered with beads of sweat, his body kept shaking, and the blood-red mist that had been shrouded in him was quickly sucked back into his body, and finally disappeared without a trace. The cyan light on his chest was the opposite, getting brighter and brighter, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

Obviously, the Holy Armor Returning Origin Technique he had cultivated had reached the key to breaking through.

Suddenly, Lin Quan only felt that the green dragon statue in his body shook suddenly, and his eyes with red light flickered suddenly opened. Immediately after, a green dragon phantom poked out from the statue, and let out a silent roar in the sky.

"Finally...... Breakthrough!"

Although Lin Quan's eyes were not opened, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the whole person relaxed. He could now clearly feel the excitement of the green dragon statue.

Yes, since the blue dragon phantom appeared, he suddenly felt that the statue transformed by the green dragon battle armor seemed to come to life. Like a living creature, it trembled in unison with its own heartbeat.

The difference is that what is constantly flowing in his heart is tangible blood, but what is surging in the statue of the green dragon is the spiritual power of formation. One by one, a large amount of spiritual power passed through the statue, and most of the spiritual power flowing through the statue was slightly condensed and returned to his meridians, except for a small part that was absorbed by it.

In just two or three breaths, he felt that the green dragon statue had changed significantly. And he himself has also benefited a lot, the spiritual power condensed by the Qinglong statue is quite pure, and he can absorb it directly after returning to the spiritual sea after circling his body, and the effect is not inferior to cultivating a big Zhou Tian of "Jiamu Jue".

He was overjoyed by the feeling of beauty. Therefore, he did not show any panic in his heart, but wished that this abnormal state could last for a while longer.

He didn't know at all that from the moment the Qinglong statue appeared abnormal, the three daughters of Jade, Lei, and Lian, who were far away in the Biyuan Gate, the Zhengqi Academy, and the Lian family, also felt the same abnormality.

At that time, the three of them were all concentrating on penance in their respective ashrams, hoping to improve their cultivation as much as possible before the mission of the Ghost King Palace.

But the next moment, a faint white, red, and black aura flashed on their chests.

Then the statues of the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu in the body woke up at the same time, emitting the same tremor, and the phantoms of each holy beast also raised their heads to the sky and roared, echoing with the other three saints in the dark, as if they were calling and communicating with each other.

Including Lin Quan, none of the four people knew that this kind of abnormality was actually called "resonance". Only when the person who has mastered the Blue Dragon cultivates the first level of the Holy Armor Returning to the Yuan Jue can he activate the special supernatural power.

After seven breaths, the resonance between the statues of the four saints came to an abrupt end.

The three girls woke up from their meditation one after another, and their eyes all looked to the northwest in unison, and then they all muttered to themselves with mixed joy:

"Yue Tianying (Yue Dashao) is really still alive......"

It was no wonder that they thought so, at the moment when the resonance of the Four Holy Statues ended, they suddenly felt that the Four Holy War Armor in their bodies had another ability. This ability allowed them to vaguely sense the approximate location of the other three saints.

As long as they had a little discernment, they would naturally know that the place where the Qinglong was located was in the northwest of them, and the Qianji Pavilion where the Yue family was located happened to be in that direction.

After hesitating for a while, the third girl closed her eyes again and meditated with a complicated face. Little did they know that all their words and deeds were being ingested by something that was secretly placed in the ashram.

Lin Quan didn't understand until the last moment when the resonance ended that the Four Holy War Armors actually had this effect. Because he also sensed the direction of the three girls.

It's just that as the side of the "Lord", he can feel the exact location of the third girl with great precision. He had a feeling that he could even pinpoint their position to a radius of five feet if he wanted to. This is completely different from the "from" of the three women.

However, when he realized this, his face suddenly changed.

In this way, wouldn't it be clear to tell the third daughter that her fake "Yue Tianying" was still alive, and even her position was exposed?

............

Ten days later.

Lian Bingyun came to a secret room on the top floor of the "Red Lian Tower" with a puzzled expression.

"Bingyun girl, seeing that the time is running out for the trip to the Ghost King's Palace, don't you want to talk about the things in the secret realm until now?" an old man dressed in a gorgeous costume with red hair asked lightly.

Although his face was extremely serious at this time, Lian Bingyun, who was familiar with this old man, could easily see the kindness and a special light full of deep meaning in his eyes.

"Yun'er greets the ancestor. Lian Bingyun bowed down, turned to bite his red lips, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Ancestor, Yun'er can only guarantee that he has never harmed Yue Dashao, as for other things, please forgive Yun'er for making an oath of demons a long time ago, it is really inconvenient to tell. ”

"Alas, you girl is really ignorant, how can such a thing as a demon oath be made casually?" Regarding Lian Bingyun's reply, although the ancestor of the Lian family said a word, a faint smile flashed in his eyes made this woman understand.

"Old Ancestor, don't you know how much ability Yun'er has, even if people really want to plot against Yue Dashao, they can't do anything about it. Not to mention, not to mention ......"

"What's more?"

"What's more, Yun'er is actually very grateful to Yue Dashao in his heart, if he hadn't begged him several times during this trip to the Triple Pagoda, I'm afraid not only Yun'er would have lost his life, but even Yu Lingfeng and Lei Ruolan would have died inside. "When it comes to these, Lian Bingyun is completely telling the truth, without hiding anything.

"Hmm...... In that case, forget it. ”

The ancestor of the Lian family frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "But in order to give the Yue family an explanation, the old man will check you one last time today, and I will never mention this matter from now on." ”

"Yes, Ancestor. ”

Lian Bingyun stood very obediently and quietly. Let a powerful divine consciousness sweep over his body repeatedly. She didn't notice that the divine consciousness that swept all over her body this time was not the only one of the Lian Family Ancestor, and the focus was on the vicinity of her Tanzhong acupoint.

It took half a stick of incense before the ancestor of the Lian family retracted his senses, waved his hand in disappointment, and sent the woman back.

"How about it, you have already seen the person of the Bingyun girl, and you have also seen her strange appearance in the quiet room, are the three Daoists still satisfied?"

After pondering for a moment, the Lian Family Ancestor suddenly got up and left the Taishi chair, and said to the empty secret room with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, three figures appeared from the three corners of the secret room almost simultaneously. Obviously, they had already used the secret method to hide in the secret room, but Lian Bingyun, who had already advanced to condensation, was not aware of it at all.

"Ahem...... Although Senior Bingyun's nephew was still reluctant to say what she was hiding this time, it should be true that she did not harm Yue Tianying. Ma admits that he will never be wrong about this. One of them, a gray-robed man with a withered face and a bony face, coughed lightly and spoke his opinion first.

"Well, since even Ma Daoyou's 'Secret Technique' didn't react, then the death of the Sky Eagle really has nothing to do with the three girls. An old man with a face like a heavy jujube nodded to Ma Daoyou with a smile, and then turned to the last old man holding a puppet villain, and said sympathetically: "Brother Yue, it seems that our previous guess was indeed wrong. ”

"Alas, this time, for the sake of the Heavenly Eagle, I bothered the three Taoist friends, and Yue really didn't want to go. Brother Yue sighed, and then bowed to the ancestor of the Lian family, Xiao and Ma in turn.

"Yue Daoyou is too polite, and being able to solve the misunderstanding is also what Lian is willing to see. ”

The ancestor of the Lian family finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said very suspiciously:

"In this way, the biggest possibility is that someone pretended to be Yue Tianying, and together with the three girls, they obtained some benefits in the secret realm, and also used some means to force them to make a demon oath for this. ”

Speaking of the benefits inside the three-storied pagoda, even the eyes of the four Ning Dan monks flashed with greed.

Through the snooping treasures provided by the Lian Family Ancestor, they could all see a layer of black treasure light shining on Lian Bingyun's chest. It's a pity that they have already probed repeatedly with their divine senses just now, and they have not found what they are looking for.

"What the practitioner said is right, according to various circumstances, although the benefit they have obtained is not like some kind of treasure, the effect should be really not small. Otherwise, these three girls would never have kept it a secret and took the initiative to make an oath. ”

"It makes sense, and the three girls don't seem to know that Yue Tianying was a fake at that time, at least ten days ago. ”

"This shows that the benefits they have obtained, there is definitely some kind of connection between each other!, but Bingyun Girl should have only discovered this secret this time, otherwise she would not have been so surprised and sure to say the sentence 'Yue Tianying is not dead'. ”

"The general location of this person who murdered the Aquila should be in the northwest of the Dajin Kingdom. Well, this range is also a bit too large, and it seems that Wu, Zheng, and most of Zhou are included. ”

"It doesn't matter, the person who can have the strength to murder the Aquila must also have advanced condensation, and we can take advantage of this Ghost King Hall mission to closely monitor all suspicious people. ”

"Yes, especially someone who is good at puppetry, or he wouldn't be able to fake Skyhawk. ”

............

After discussing the secret for a long time, the three Ning Dan monks who had come from afar quietly left.

In the following month, the Three Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm became an undercurrent again, and some people with a keen sense of smell were worried about it.

Lin Quan, who had been concentrating on retreat, naturally didn't know all this.

On this day, a special firelight suddenly flew in through the prohibition in front of the door of Baishui Ju. Aware of this, his eyes froze, and he reached out and grabbed the Thousand Miles Talisman.

With a flash of inspiration in his hand, the voice of the head Tian Zhongping came out clearly:

"Senior Brother Lin, please meet in the council hall in five days, at the hour of the hour!"

You're going to go to the Ghost King Hall to train so soon?

Lin Quan sighed lightly, and he silently glanced at the chronometer beside him. At this point, less than eleven months had passed since his retreat.
