Journey to the head

Zhang Lemei stood there blankly. She looked at Tan Yunxing who suddenly appeared in front of her, then turned back to look at the porcelain doll lying in the cradle, her face full of confusion.

Tan Yunxing saw her appearance and dazed look, and his eyes widened suddenly: "What did you do to my mother?!"

His face flushed red, and he roared at the Yunshan disciples who were kneeling on both sides: "What did you do! Damn it!"

"You guys made my mother like this! You all deserve to die!"

"My father is the great hero Tan Hong! Is this how you treat my mother?!"

He was so furious that he kicked a Yunshan disciple who was kneeling stupidly to the ground.

"Go to hell! Go to hell!"

The air around Tan Yunxing twisted, and a dark spell flashed and disappeared. The disciple who was kneeling on the ground suddenly drew out his long sword, and with an expressionless face, he stabbed it into his left chest.

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!"

After he pointed his fingers in a circle, some elite disciples in the middle and late stages of Qi training drew out their magic weapons and committed suicide without hesitation.

Blood splattered and the body fell to the ground, but Zhang Lemei's eyes suddenly became clear. She stared at Tan Yunxing in disbelief, a twisted smile of ecstasy appeared on her face, and she suddenly shouted, "My son!"

The thin old woman jumped up, staring at Tan Yunxing, and ran two steps. Suddenly, she tripped over a corpse at her feet and rolled to the ground, her face and body covered in blood.

But she got up quickly, her face dyed crimson with blood, and she screamed loudly: "My son! My son is back!"

Seeing her so crazy, Tan Yunxing shuddered, quickly took a few steps back, raised his hand suddenly, and dense black chains suddenly shot out from Zhang Lemei's shadow, locking her in place in an instant.

“Yunxing? Yunxing!” Zhang Lemei struggled hard and yelled, “You’re back! You’re finally back!”

Tan Yunxing stood a little further away, his face covered by a shadow, no expression could be seen, and his voice became lower: "Yes, mother, I'm back. I came... I came to see you..."

"I know, I know my son will come back!" Zhang Lemei struggled in vain and burst into tears, her tears and snot washing away the blood on her face.

"Lu Qian said that you killed Senior Brother Yang and fled because you were afraid of the crime. That can't be true, right?"

"Even if Senior Brother Yang is dead, there must be a misunderstanding! Maybe someone is jealous of my family's power and your talent, so he deliberately framed you. Lu Qian actually believed such nonsense!"

"Fortunately, he is your master!"

"My Yunxing is the best and kindest boy. He is always nice to others and respects his teachers..."

Tan Yunxing suddenly interrupted her hastily: "Mother, let's not talk about these old things. Look, I am now in the middle stage of foundation building!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister and twisted spiritual pressure rushed up. Zhang Lemei's hair stood on end, but she shouted excitedly.

"Good! Good! My son is extremely talented and has already established his foundation. If your father knew about this, he would be extremely happy."

“Quick! Come with me to see Lu Qian! Since you are already in the middle stage of foundation building, you should take on the great responsibility. We should go and explain to those villains who instigated us, so that my Yun Xing can also become an elder of Yunshan!”

"I heard from them that after Senior Brother Yang passed away, the position of the elder who teaches the skills in my sect has been vacant. This position is simply made for you. It couldn't be more suitable."

She wanted to stand up, but she seemed to realize only now that she was tied up tightly, and she was stunned for a moment.

"How is this going?"

Tan Yunxing was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"It's not the right time yet, mother. Soon, soon I will become extremely powerful, stronger than my senior sister, stronger than my master, and even the entire Cangzhou will bow down at my feet!"

His laughter became louder and louder. "Master Tian Yuanzi's name is very famous, but soon he won't even be able to see my back! When that time comes, he will definitely recognize me and praise me!"

"He will know that I am the son of a hero and will definitely be the new hero of the Yunshan Sect."

He suddenly waved his hand in the air and the remaining seven or eight disciples climbed up and gathered together.

"Mother, look, I already have this power now!"

With a flick of the finger——

"Hate! Kill! Die!"

Dense spells flashed in the air, and the faces of these disciples were filled with dark energy. Suddenly, their eyes turned red and they let out a beast-like roar from their throats.

The magic weapons were flying, the light was flashing, the sound of flesh being pierced was endless, and blood was splashing again.

Zhang Lemei's eyes widened.

The faces of these Yunshan disciples were distorted, and they pounced on each other and started a brutal fight!

Right in front of Zhang Lemei, a disciple cut open his fellow disciple's chest with a sword and dug out his heart, but was immediately chopped off half of his head by a fellow disciple behind him with a slanting knife.

“Yun Xing… Yun Xing!” Zhang Lemei trembled and spoke in a hurry, “What are you doing? Stop it now. These are all my Yunshan disciples, your fellow disciples!”

But before she could finish her words, the seven or eight disciples had killed each other and their twisted bodies were piled up in one place.

Only then did Zhang Lemei see the bodies lying on the ground, and finally understood what Tan Yunxing had done. She was suddenly horrified.

"See, mother!" Tan Yunxing raised his head with pride, "This is just the tip of the iceberg of my strength!"

"The Quyang Wang family has been wiped out by me alone!"

"I have already avenged most of my old grudges. Even if I made some mistakes before, my merits now outweigh my faults, which is enough to exonerate me."

"After this success, not only will our ancestral lineage be relocated, but Qingzhou and Cangzhou will also become under the jurisdiction of Yunshan!"

"I am the great hero of the Yunshan Sect! Master will definitely be proud of me!"

Zhang Lemei seemed not to hear his shouting, and said in horror: "Yunxing, you, you are in big trouble!"

"Run quickly, the farther the better, I'll find a way to help you escape punishment..."

"Otherwise, just say it was your mother who did it, you——"

"What is mother worried about? I will soon become the leader of Yunshan. What does the death of a few ordinary disciples matter?" Tan Yunxing said nonchalantly.

Zhang Lemei became even more anxious: "That's right. If you want to be the head of Yunshan, you can't do this."

"You have to inherit your father's wisdom. What will you do if you are charged with the crime of slaughtering your fellow disciples?" "Don't say you will become powerful soon. Run away quickly. Run away far away. Wait until you achieve the golden elixir, then come back to see mother."

Tan Yunxing wanted to argue, but then he heard Zhang Lemei say, "Just listen to your mother. I won't harm you. Everything I do is for your own good."

At this moment, Tan Yunxing shuddered suddenly. For no reason, that familiar, suffocating feeling suddenly surged into his heart.

He staggered back a few steps and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I will not be controlled by you, mother."

"I have become so strong now, and I will soon be even stronger. I will no longer listen to you, and I will not be manipulated by anyone!"

"I just want to see you, I don't want to stay with you."

As he spoke, he turned around and actually disappeared into his own shadow, disappearing in the courtyard in an instant.

Zhang Lemei stared blankly at the empty ground, looked around at the corpses in the yard, and murmured, "It's good that they are gone, it's good that they are gone."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and a flaming red flying sword rose up. She raised her hand again and swung out handfuls of fire talismans.

With a loud rumbling sound, blazing flames rose up, soon engulfing the entire mansion, even the silent and misty magic arrays were burned.

Thick smoke rose up. The Yunshan disciples on duty in Lingsha City were shocked when they saw this. They rushed to put out the fire and pulled the crazy and smoke-stained Zhang Lemei out of the sea of ​​fire.

After the fire was put out, twenty bodies that had turned to charcoal were pulled out from the ruins. The faces of the disciples who put out the fire changed drastically. The sect had been peaceful for a long time, but today, twenty elite disciples died at once!

"Something big has happened. Report it to the leader immediately! Report it to Mianlong Mountain!"

By the time Lu Qian learned of the accident, several hours had passed.

It was not that the Yunshan Sect was slow in transmitting information, but that Lu Qian was negotiating in the small courtyard where the "Three Nos" were forbidden. This courtyard was covered with a secret spell, and telescopes and communication talismans could not pass through. It was only when Li Da found that Lu Qian had not responded to the message for a long time that he quickly organized his disciples to report directly to the door, and then he called Lu Qian out.

After much difficulty, they entered the forbidden religious base, but there was no substantial progress in the negotiations.

The Master of No Talking kept smiling and didn't say a word. The Master of No Listening had a cold expression and didn't speak a word. Only the Master of No Seeing exchanged a few polite words with Lu Qian, but they were just business flattery and polite compliments, and no useful information was obtained.

When Lu Qian talked about the cooperation between the two sides, Bu Shi Zhenren either kept answering yes without sincerity, or said that he could not make the decision and had to take the relevant suggestions back to report to the head brother "Budong".

After a few tentative words, there was no response. Then his disciple came to ask for an urgent visit, so Lu Qian had to take his leave first.

Without seeing the real person off politely, when they reached the door, Lu Qian suddenly asked.

"The Corrupted and Decayed Eyes wasn't passed down by the Heavenly Monarch of the Curse Nation, right?"

Without looking at the real person's expression, he said in a cold voice: "The spells of the Heavenly Monarch of the Curse Kingdom have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. They have already undergone countless changes and evolutions by generations of cultivators. This is of course one of them. It is normal that you don't understand it."

Lu Qian looked at him deeply and nodded.

After walking out of the courtyard, Lu Qian learned the situation from his disciples. He was shocked and angry. He flew into the air in a flash and quickly found Wu Yan, Lin Le and Li Da. He took them on the Stepping Clouds and Flowing Clouds Chariot and rushed to Lingsha City.

When he arrived, Wang Yu and Jiang Qingfeng had already arrived. Wang Yu had even completed the preliminary review and investigation.

"Any clues?" Standing in the charred and broken walls, watching twenty disciples die and turn into charcoal, Lu Qian's face looked very ugly.

“No, there is no sign that the mountain protection formation has been triggered.” Wang Yu said, “This golden elixir formation was set up by you, the master. There are signs that the Nascent Soul has broken the formation, but there is nothing at the moment, so I suspect—”

"The murderer must be in the city!"

The murderer is most likely in the city, neither entering nor leaving the city, so there is no trace at all.

Lingsha City is the spiritual seedling breeding base of the Yunshan Sect, and it must not be lost!

"Bring Elder Gu here immediately, and ask Master Chiyu to help." Lu Qian instructed Li Da, "I want to work with them to thoroughly investigate Lingsha City inch by inch!"

Li Da left as ordered, and Lu Qian asked again, "Is Senior Sister Zhang okay?"

Wang Yu said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Zhang is acting crazy and talking nonsense, so I can't get anything out of her. But I feel that this matter is definitely related to her."

"But she and the disciples on duty here don't have pass tokens, so it's impossible for them to welcome the murderer in. Moreover, she has neglected her cultivation for many years. Although she has reached the late stage of Qi training, her real combat power is only at the middle stage of Qi training. She can't be a match for these elite disciples."

"I really can't figure it out. How about some other tricks?"

Lu Qian shook his head, and Tan Hong's voice and face appeared clearly before his eyes.

"Forget it. She is Brother Tan's widow after all. We neglected her over the years and let her become such a hateful person. We really shouldn't have done that. We should take good care of her first and let her recover her spirits."

"As for the murderer, let's dig three feet underground to see if there are any clues."

A day later, Lu Qian, Chiyu Zhenren, Gu Nishang and Wu Yan, four Jindan, had set out from the four corners of southeast, northwest, southwest and northeast and searched every corner of Lingsha City, but there were no traces and no suspicious persons were found.

By the way, the spiritual stone mine buried deep beneath Lingsha City has begun to be mined. Thanks to the Tao brothers' eclectic efforts, they have finally created a puppet that can move independently without the guidance of spiritual consciousness.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the destruction of the soul by the corrupt soul-gathering iron ore that is everywhere.

However, these puppets were slow in movement and were far inferior to the original slaves in the spirit stone mine, who were the independent cultivators deceived by the Xuanguang Sect and the Shahe Gang.

However, the puppets can work non-stop for twelve hours, so as long as more are added, the total output can be increased.

This spirit stone mine has been in operation since the year 405 of Jiashen, and its annual output is now 300,000 spirit stones. Although it has quadrupled compared to the Shahe Gang era, it still seems that the amount of spirit stones obtained is not much, less than half of the annual dividend profit of Shuangyefang.

However, the spiritual stone ore here is of extremely high quality and can directly produce spiritual crystals!
If we dig deeper, we may even find a spirit core!

This directly greatly enhances the significance of this spiritual stone mine.

Li Da even proposed to lure the completely corrupted monks in the Never-Sleeping City to mine here to further increase production, but Lu Qian rejected it. The Yunshan Sect did not need to earn such spiritual stones.

This spiritual stone mine is still in the secret mining stage, but with the strength of the Yunshan School, there is no need to cover it up too much.

Now that something big has happened in the city, even here it has been screened and Lu Qian has personally taken action.

But even with Lu Qian's current spiritual power, he couldn't stay in there for too long. The rotten souls and ghost iron ore all over the ground were really frightening.

In the end, nothing was found.

Just as he was at a loss, Lin Le hesitated for a moment and suddenly suggested: "Master, please forgive me for my insubordination, but maybe I can use..." (End of this chapter)
