She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1247: One Hundred and Forty-Six Old Friends

Seeing that it was such an evil thing, how could Zhao Yu let it slip away from her sight? She took a step forward and pointed a sword energy forward, piercing the blood-red thing to the ground. Then she released her true energy and crushed it upwards, turning it completely into a pool of blood.

"This...what on earth is this thing!?"

  Zheng Qiuji saw that this thing was similar to the thing in Ji Yang's skull, so he had a bad guess in his mind. He thought that the miraculous medicine in Ji Sui's hand was also obtained from the secret palace. Could it be that this underground secret palace was the cave of an evil cultivator?

Seeing that even Cao Jian died here, Zheng and Zhang did not think that their lives would be in danger. If they had coveted the treasures in the inner layer of the secret palace when they came in before, now that they saw Cao Jian's death, their enthusiasm was gone. After all, the methods of evil monks were mostly sinister and cruel, and the magic tools they refined were mostly unusable by ordinary people. Even if they held them in their hands, they were just hot potatoes, just like the corpse puppet formation technique he accidentally obtained.

While thinking, Zhao Yu had already walked forward. He saw a gray cushion in the middle of the Taoist temple. The person sitting on it had long disappeared from the world, and even his bones turned into dust and dispersed. He immediately realized that this secret palace had indeed existed for a long time, at least tens of thousands of years ago.

On the contrary, this cushion was made of very high quality and has not been damaged much even after many years.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu's eyes focused, and he used his sword energy to cut the object open, revealing a talisman inside. On the talisman, there was a golden sun on the top and a dark moon on the bottom, reflecting each other, like the sun and the moon shining together. There was no need to explain the significance of this!

  The person who passed away in this secret palace was actually a disciple of Zhao Yan!

She was greatly surprised and quickly took the talisman in her hand. Then she immersed her spiritual consciousness into it, wanting to check the disciple's name, which hall and lineage he was from.

Unexpectedly, after probing with his spiritual sense, he could only see nothingness, no name, and no master. Zhao Yu was shocked and immediately had another guess.

All Zhaoyan disciples carry a life talisman with them, and they can use it to prove their identity when they go out. No matter who comes, they cannot lie. When a disciple holding a life talisman dies, the immortal soul lamp that is linked to his life will go out, but the life talisman will not be destroyed at will, and the name and master in it will be preserved for future generations to verify.

But it would be difficult for an outsider to completely erase the name and lineage of a master like this...

Zhao Yu himself is a law enforcement disciple of Bufei Mountain, so he is very clear about the rules of the sect. If a disciple of the sect commits a serious violation and reaches the point of being expelled from the sect, the sect will take back the life talisman to show that the person is no longer a member of Zhaoyan. If the life talisman cannot be taken back due to various reasons, it will be like what is happening today.

There is no need to trace back too far. Take the Changwu Wang family disciples who were convicted of treason by the headmaster. Even if a few of them escaped, the life talismans on their bodies would lose their effectiveness. However, judging from the age of this secret palace, it is obvious that it has nothing to do with the Wang family.

If one were to count the number of disciples who had been expelled from the sect throughout the ages, it would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack. But when it came to whether there had been a major event like Wang's rebellion tens of thousands of years ago, Zhao Yu fell silent for a moment.

If he was really implicated in that incident and eventually fled to this world, she had no right to say anything.

Zhao Yu sighed and took the talisman in her hand again. After the matter was done, Zheng and Zhang also walked over and saw Zhao Yu waved away the mat, revealing a Bagua array below. There was a square groove in the array, which seemed to be able to hold an object. For a moment, both of them looked at the object in her hand, thinking that the talisman would fit the groove perfectly.

Zhao Yu saw through what the two were thinking, but she didn't care much. However, she now realized that the root of the demon species was lurking right below where they were, so she had to try it no matter what.

However, after the talisman was embedded in the array, although it fit perfectly without any gaps, the three of them waited for a long time without seeing any changes on it, so their excitement inevitably faded.

  Zheng Qiuji moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, but at this moment he saw Zhao Yu pick up the talisman directly, and then took out another identical talisman. The two of them looked at it in amazement, watching the talisman being embedded in the groove. After waiting for only a few breaths, the Bagua formation plate began to rotate!

All of a sudden, the candlelight on all sides went out, and the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently. The three of them immediately flew into the air and saw that the circular platform below them split into two halves, moving to the left and right from where the array plate was located, revealing a dark and deep area that was so dark that it made people feel creepy!

  Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound that had never been heard before finally rang in the ears of the three people. The sound was dull and heavy, and the interval between the two sounds was almost the same. It was not the sound of a heavy object falling, but instead...

It is like the heartbeat of a living thing.

Suddenly, a stream of smoke shot out and quickly filled the sky and the earth before the people could react. Zheng and Zhang trembled all over, and felt a surge of restlessness boiling in their hearts, which made them want to kill. Then they felt all their emotions surge up at once, making them sad, angry, and happy. Their souls were filled with all kinds of desires, as if they were no longer themselves.

Zhao Chuning has the sword spirit in his body, so he is not afraid of the evil spirit. However, Zheng Qiuji and Zhang Zhi are not so lucky. Especially the former, he has taken the miraculous medicine given by Ji Sui. Although he had suppressed it intentionally before, he is now stimulated by the root of the evil spirit and backfired for a while, which is undoubtedly much more obvious than Zhang Zhi!

She stood still, and immediately sent a sword energy downwards, but she did not expect that there was no entity where the sword energy passed. Fortunately, Zhao Yu had his spiritual consciousness attached to it, so he could see the appearance of the source of the demon seed clearly.

It turned out to be a vague and invisible dark mist, rather than the disgusting flesh and blood. When listening carefully, a dull pulsating sound came from the mist, giving people a weird and creepy feeling.

Zhao Yu's eyes were fixed on the black fog, and more than a thousand sword energies rose up and fell down. Unfortunately, this thing had no physical substance, and no matter how hard the sword energy tried to kill it, it only gathered and dispersed without any sign of disappearing.

She could have stayed here to think about a solution, but Zheng and Zhang beside her could not stand the erosion of the demon species. Zhao Yu frowned slightly, and made a choice on the spot. She was afraid that the root of the demon species would escape again when she was away, so she took out the Qingjing Zizai Pot given by the head of the sect from her sleeve, and then casually sent out a stream of true energy, and threw it down to temporarily seal the black fog. Then she waved her sleeves to grab Zheng and Zhang and left.
