Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 332 Helmsman ([-])

Tangning stood there for a long time without continuing to keep up. If she really annoyed this person, if she wanted to fight with her life, she didn't have much chance of winning.

Kuangmu still doesn't know the true identity of this person, so it is not wise to offend a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk for no reason.

At that moment, he escaped from the light, walked for a day, and returned to the Taoist temple in the south of Qi State.

Sitting cross-legged in the hall, Tao Siming got up to greet him when he came back: "Fellow Daoist Tang is back, did you find anything?"

Tang Ning said: "I participated in the auction hosted by several big families. During the auction, I found a man wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe. He was very suspicious. He bought a Yin Soul Bead on the upper floor of the auction. This bead is a collection of Yin energy. It is made of knots, most people will never use this thing, and his body shape is quite similar to Wei An, so I followed him for an hour or two, was discovered by him, and lured to a mountain forest to attack."

"You guys fought?"

"No, he just took a tentative shot once and asked me why I followed him. I lied, saying that I was a disciple of Shuiyun Sect, and he was suspected of killing my disciple. He argued for a while, ignored me, and directly left."

Tao Siming asked suspiciously: "Yin Soul Orb? It takes a lot of Yin Qi to cultivate the source of immortality, so it can't be such a coincidence! Is it really him? Have you seen his appearance?"

"No, but I see that his height and appearance are quite similar to Wei An."

"I immediately sent a letter to the intelligence stations to pay close attention to Wei An's whereabouts."

"Do you need me to do anything?"

"Since we have this clue, I think we should concentrate on investigating Wei An first. Fellow Daoist Jiang is currently investigating Jin Miaoshui, and fellow Daoist Tang will work hard to call Fellow Daoist Jiang back and work together to deal with Wei An."

"it is good."

After the discussion between the two was over, Tangning left the Taoist temple and headed south.

After walking for two days, they came to a large courtyard, and the light fell, which aroused the vigilance of the people in the house. A woman came to him and looked at him very vigilantly: "Who is the senior?"

Tangning took out the envelope and the sect token from her pocket and handed it to her, "It was Tao Siming, the noble sect, who asked me to come here."

The woman took the envelope, opened it and glanced at it: "So it's Senior Yi Zongtang, I don't know what's important for Senior to come here?"

"I don't know if Brother Jiang, my sect, has contacted you recently?" Tangning asked.

Before the two set off, Tao Siming arranged their respective contact methods. This compound is the information contact point. If there is any news from Jiang Yuhuan, he will come here to inform Shui Yunzong.

"Senior Jiang appeared once a few days ago, and then left."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"He asked our intelligence station to keep an eye on a person. This person's name is Jia Ciyu. He said that if anyone comes into contact with him, don't act rashly and just keep an eye on him."

"Who is Jia Siyu?"

"A rogue cultivator, we've been keeping an eye on him now."

"Senior Brother Jiang, did you say when you'll be back?"

"No."

"Then I'll wait for him here!"

"Senior please."

Tangning waited in the courtyard for more than [-] days, but Jiang Yuhuan was still nowhere to be seen. She was thinking that something would happen!There was a knock on the door outside the house, and the female disciple of Shuiyun Sect said outside: "Senior Tang, Master Tao has sent a message."

With a wave of his hand, the door opened wide, and the woman entered and handed him the letter.It turned out that Jiang Yuhuan had returned to the Taoist temple, and Tao Siming told him not to look for it anymore.

So Tang Ning returned to the Taoist temple day and night, Jiang Yuhuan was discussing something with Tao Siming in the hall.

"Fellow Daoist Tang is back. We have found out Wei An's whereabouts and are going to arrest him. We are waiting for you and Brother Jiang!" Tao Siming said.
"Why did Brother Jiang come back first?"

"I've been investigating Jin Miaoshui for more than a month, but I still haven't found any trace of him. I just happened to meet fellow Daoist Tao investigating Wei An's traces, so I went with him." Just as Jiang Yuhuan finished speaking, another person from outside the hall pushed the door and entered , it was Jiang Yunsheng.

"Junior Brother Tao, what happened, call me back urgently."

Tao Siming said: "That's right. Daoyou Tang tracked down a person who looked like Wei An in the auction before. We suspect that this person may be the mastermind behind the source of immortality. A few days ago, Runan intelligence station There is news that Wei An is suspected to be there, I think he is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, I am afraid that I will be alone and alone, and I will not be able to take him down, so I call everyone back."

"Have you found out his location?" Jiang Yunsheng asked
"I found a temporary foothold for him, but I haven't seen him yet, so I'll come back first and meet you all. How is Senior Brother Jiang's investigation going?"

Previously, Jiang Yunsheng had been investigating the unknown corpse insect host in the Foundation Establishment period.

"We haven't found it yet, but three days ago, we captured another undead essence host, and we got some new information from this person."

"Oh? What news?"

"As for the host of the undead essence source in the foundation-building period, according to this person, I had a meeting with him three years ago and had a short conversation. At that time, he had not become the host for a long time, so he didn't feel any difference. Later, he contacted several After taking the host, I realized that this person is quite different from them."

Tao Siming hurriedly asked: "It's different? Why is it different?"

"The breath is different. He can detect the special breath of the undead essence source on his body, but there is a clear difference compared with other people."

"Could it be because of its foundation-building monks?" Shui Yunzong has never captured the undead essence host in the foundation-building stage so far. Tao Siming asked this question.

Jiang Yunsheng looked at Jiang Yuhuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, your Qianyi Sect has captured undead essence hosts in the Foundation Establishment stage. What is the obvious difference between them and ordinary hosts?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "As far as we know, there is no difference between the two, the difference is only the depth of cultivation, and there is no difference in breath. We once found the corpse insect hosts who were promoted to the foundation establishment stage through the captured corpse insect hosts of the Qi refining stage. Corpse worm host. The qi-refining corpse worm host once said that he could not accurately lock his person, he could only find the same kind, if there is a difference between the two, he should be able to tell the difference."

Jiang Yunsheng said: "Then it is basically certain that this person is different from other immortal essence hosts. If this person can be captured, there must be new clues."

"Why does this person have a different breath from the others?" Tangning pondered

Jiang Yunsheng said: "There are several reasons. First, they do not originate from the same mother body, but if it is not the same mother body, they should not be able to interact with each other, just like the first generation of immortal essence and the second generation, so it is inferred that they There is a certain similarity. It is possible that it is the third generation of undead essence, and it is the same family as the second generation of immortal essence, but it is not the same mother body. Therefore, there are differences and mutual induction."

"Second, the undead sperm source in the host has mutated, causing a difference."

"Third, the black hand behind the scenes used a different refining method. We found two mummy corpses in the secret cave where the undead essence was cultivated. They were puppets controlled by the black hand behind the scenes, while the other undead essence sources were not controlled. In other words, the person behind the scenes has at least two different refining methods, perhaps this person is a puppet host, so it is different from other ordinary hosts."

"Leaving aside the weirdness of this person, the most urgent thing right now is to arrest Wei An. This person is most likely the mastermind behind the entire Undead Essence Source incident." Tao Siming said, flipped his left hand, and took out a topographic map Booklet: "This is where Wei An stayed. He is out now, and he is not here. Let's ambush the surrounding area first, and take him down when he returns."

Jiang Yunsheng frowned and said: "After all, Wei An is a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment. If he is really the helmsman behind the scenes, he may have some tricks. With us alone, it is inevitable that he will die and escape arrest. In order to be safe, I suggest reporting to Zou Zongmen. Send more people."

"I have sent someone to send a letter to senior brother Shi and others. If they receive the letter, they will go here to join us. We will first monitor the place where they are staying."

Jiang Yunsheng nodded, and the four of them discussed for a while, determined the arrest strategy, left the Taoist temple, and disappeared.

After walking for more than a day, several people escaped and fell into a courtyard in the barren hills.

A pretty woman greeted him and bowed to Tao Siming: "Disciple pays homage to Master Tao."

"Is there any movement in Huangyuan Mountain in the past few days?" Tao Siming asked

"The disciple sent people to sneak into the nearby villages, pretending to be secular people to monitor day and night, and did not see anyone entering Huangyuan Mountain." The female disciple replied
"Let them all withdraw."

"Yes." The woman took the order and left.

Tao Siming pointed to a [-]-foot-high mountain in the distance and said: "This is Wei An's hiding place. There is a large-scale cave in it, and there is a formation around it. Wei An should not have returned at this moment. According to our previous arrangement, Fellow Daoist Tang and Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are in charge of the east and south sides of this mountain, and Senior Brother Jiang and I are responsible for the west and north sides, if it is not an emergency, don’t do anything, wait for Senior Brother Shi and the others to arrive.”

The three nodded their heads, and after discussing for a while, each of them went to the designated location to hide.

Huangyuan Mountain is hundreds of feet high and dozens of miles wide. The mountain is steep and there are countless poisonous insects and beasts.

Tang Ning hid in a dense forest to the east of Huangyuan Mountain and quietly observed what was going on in the sky. Jiang Yuhuan was to the south, Tao Siming was to the west, and Jiang Yunsheng was to the north. The four of them stared at the entire mountain range.

At night, the stars were like brocades, and a ray of light flashed across the sky, heading towards Huangyuan Mountain. Tangning's mind tightened, she stared at the ray of light, but saw it passing directly from the top of the mountain.

He was a little disappointed in his heart, presumably it was a casual cultivator passing by, the spiritual sense of the foundation-building cultivator could not detect so far, he was hidden in the mountains and forests, surrounded by towering trees, from top to bottom, the naked eye could not detect it. He cannot be found, so there is no possibility of exposure.

Several people waited for seven or eight days, but did not see Wei An returning, but the reinforcements from the investigation team arrived. The man surnamed Shi and Yin Qingyuan, the leader of Shuiyunzong, rushed over immediately after receiving the news from the intelligence station Xuanying. A group of Nangong Feiyue, Liu Zilan, and Guan Sheng also arrived one after another.

The eight people divided into four groups and surrounded Huangyuan Mountain, just waiting for Wei An to show up.
