Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

It should be noted that this Xuanyin demonic energy originates from the widely-known Xuanyin Dafa, and those who practice this spell are limited to the two senior masters, Master Jiyin and Wuchou.

However, most of the disciples of Master Ji Yin failed to truly comprehend the mystery of this magic skill, let alone cultivate such pure magic energy and travel thousands of miles to the southern part of the world.

Yan Yun's face was gloomy and he fell into silence.

"Something is wrong. There is another thing that knows all the formulas of Xuanyin Dafa and has practiced Xuanyin magic energy. It seems to be able to refine the magic energy to such a pure level."

Yan Yun's mind suddenly lit up, and he thought of a little-known past event. The whole person instantly became complicated and incomprehensible.

"Could it be that Zhimu Lingying? Has it returned to Tiannan?"

Yan Yun looked up at the sky and whispered to himself.

He always had deep concerns for the Second Yuanying who ran away from home.

When he returned to Tiannan, he should have set out immediately to look for the Nascent Soul, but Nangong Wan had not yet freed herself from the ice wall.

He was really worried, so he chose to stay here to rest for a while and wait for Nangong Wan to return safely.

In addition, a long time has passed. If this second Nascent Soul has really developed spiritual consciousness, it would have surely been manifested over the years.

It's really not a big deal to delay it for a few years.

So, Yan Yun temporarily put aside this troublesome matter and decided to go to Mulan Grassland in person to find out what was going on when the time was right.

However, now, from all indications, the second Nascent Soul transformed from the Zhimu Lingying has actually returned to Tiannan on its own initiative and is hiding in the Demon Valley.

Assuming this is true, then the disappearance of Mu Peiling, Mo Qingdai and Qian Xinyue is most likely closely related to it, and they should not have encountered any misfortune yet.

After all, the memories and emotions of this Nascent Soul were copied from himself. Even though his character might have changed after years of trials and tribulations, it would not be easy for him to kill these three women.

Yan Yun felt heavy-hearted as he carefully considered every possible situation.

However, as time flies, this second Yuanying must have already had its own physical body.

However, since Yan Yun stepped into the inner valley, he did not notice the existence of the Heavenly Evil Corpse that he had implanted a wisp of his divine consciousness into.

In this way, it can be inferred that either the second Yuanying successfully subdued the demon corpse, or it directly took over its body.

Yan Yun was quick-witted and after a little speculation, he quickly saw through the truth of the incident.

He stroked his beard and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the remaining centipedes came scurrying back from all directions, seemingly not noticing anything unusual.

Yan Yun did not show the slightest surprise at this scene.

The reason why he took back the gold-eating beetle and released the twelve six-winged frost centipedes was because Liu Yu was also carrying the larvae of the six-winged frost centipede.

Although the quality of her spirit insect was far lower than his own, thanks to the unique induction between the two, it was still possible to find the whereabouts of the three missing women.

However, since the person who made the move was most likely a second Yuanying, he would definitely be on guard against this.

Yan Yun's face was stern. He put all the centipedes into his pocket and stood alone there thinking deeply.

"It seems that only by using that method can we track their whereabouts. This secret technique was acquired by me later, so he naturally cannot predict or prevent it. However, he will lose a lot of blood and energy."

Yan Yun sighed softly and murmured, looking quite helpless.

However, he slapped the storage bag on his waist without hesitation, and a snow-white jade plate and a small fiery red flag appeared in his palm at the same time.

Then he threw the two treasures into the air, and they turned into two balls of light, one white and one red. After spinning for a while, they stopped steadily in front of him.

Then, Yan Yun blew out a green mist from his mouth, covering the array plate, and then he stretched out a finger and gently cut his other wrist.
As the green light flashed, a strand of green hair passed by quietly, and a small wound immediately appeared on the wrist, and a few drops of blood slowly flowed out.

Yan Yun exhaled slowly, and saw those few drops of blood essence containing powerful vitality immediately sank into the white jade plate and completely disappeared from sight.

Then, Yan Yun turned his gaze to the dazzling red flag and with a light touch, the flag flew to the top of the formation under Yan Yun's control.

After a slight shock, the small flag suddenly turned into a ball of thick blood-red smoke, completely covering the entire jade plate.

However, while Yan Yun was chanting the spell, the jade plate also emitted a bloody light.

Likewise, there were streams of blood mist transformed from essence and blood that continued to pour out, and then the two blended with each other, gradually becoming difficult to distinguish.

Suddenly, Yan Yun let out a low roar, his face instantly turned green, and then he tapped the jade plate with an extremely solemn attitude.

In an instant, the white jade plate burst into a bloody light, like a bloody moon. In just a few flashes, all the blood mist was absorbed by it.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yan Yun let out a low growl again and tapped the jade plate with one hand in an extremely serious manner.

Then, a beam of emerald green light burst out from between his fingers like a real object, and quickly sank into the center of the jade plate like lightning, disappearing into thin air.

Along with the appearance of this beam of light, the originally buzzing blood moon suddenly vibrated violently, as if it had a spirituality and shook on its own, as if it wanted to escape from this place immediately.

The light in Yan Yun's eyes dimmed a little, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Today is the first time I have used the secret technique of 'Blood Moon Soul Seeking' recorded in the 'Da Yan Bao Jing'. I really don't know how effective it will be. Now, I have no choice but to give it a try."

“It’s a pity that if I hadn’t imposed the God-Forbidding Restriction on Mu Peiling and left a few drops of her blood, I’m afraid this secret technique wouldn’t be able to be performed.”

Yan Yun muttered a few words to himself, then swallowed a pill and immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot to rest for a while.

After half an hour of breathing exercises, when Yan Yun opened his eyes again, the radiance in his eyes had returned to normal.

Without saying anything, he directly cast a spell towards the blood moon transformed from the jade plate. The blood moon instantly turned into a dazzling blood-red light and rushed away into the distance.

Yan Yun's body shook slightly, and he also turned into a green light, following closely behind the Blood Moon.

Not long after, the two men, one in front and one behind, disappeared without a trace from near Qingshan.

The speed of the blood-colored light ball remained stable, and Yan Yun followed closely behind with a calm expression.

After flying for half a day, Yan Yun was finally led by the blood mass to a huge and extremely desolate basin. A blazing heat immediately hit him.

Yan Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he noticed that everything in the basin was made up of black and red.

There are round black rocks piled up on the edge of the basin, and in the center of the basin is a red lava lake.

The high temperature emanating from the lake of fire caused the air above the basin to begin to distort, presenting a hazy and beautiful scene.

At this moment, the ball of blood light was hovering above the lava lake, and the buzzing sound it made was extremely harsh, as if it wanted to enter the lake but was hesitant.

Yan Yun touched his chin, carefully observed the lava below, and suddenly a cold smile appeared on his face:

"Haha, you are really good at hiding. If it weren't for the guidance of the secret technique, I really wouldn't be able to find this place."

"Now that I have locked onto the target, these lava can't stop me from moving forward!"

Yan Yun muttered a few words to himself, then raised his hand and waved towards the ball of blood-colored light.

In an instant, a blood-red ball of light made a buzzing sound and flew towards him rapidly. After spinning several times in the air, it landed steadily on his palm.

At the same time, Yan Yun raised his other hand lightly, and purple flames instantly appeared on his arm, then quickly spread to his whole body, completely enveloping him in flames.

A huge purple fireball appeared in the air and fell straight down from mid-air.

When the fireball landed on the ground, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the fireball that Yan Yun turned into seemed to ignore the hot red lava.

It sank directly into the lava lake and disappeared without a trace, causing the surrounding lava to splash everywhere. However, the lake surface soon returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened before.

At this moment, Yan Yun had already penetrated more than ten feet into the lava, and continued to sink slowly under the protection of the purple flame.

Although it was in the lava, the Purple Luo Extreme Fire, as an extremely cold flame, easily isolated all the high temperatures outside the purple flame.

When Yan Yun dived to a depth of more than two hundred feet, he finally reached the bottom of the lake and stepped on solid ground covered with black rocks.

Looking around, I could not see any other colors except the red color.

Yan Yun frowned slightly and injected the spiritual power in his body into his eyes. A blue light flashed deep in his pupils.

He used his Mingqing spiritual eyes to examine the surrounding environment again.

Afterwards, Yan Yun held up the blood-red jade plate in his hand. The jade plate shook slightly and vibrated violently in a certain direction, as if trying to break free from his control.

Yan Yun immediately flew slowly in this direction. When he had flown a considerable distance, the jade plate stopped shaking and suddenly fell downwards.

Yan Yun quickly grabbed the jade plate again to prevent it from escaping the protection range of the purple flame. At the same time, he lowered his head and observed intently.

Yan Yun's expression changed slightly, and then he raised his hand. A dazzling golden light shot out and slashed straight to the bottom of the lake below him.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the seemingly ordinary bottom of the lake actually cracked into a huge crack as long as seven or eight feet under this blow.

A faint blue light burst out from the crack, immediately repelling the surrounding lava.

It turned out that there was a layer of light curtain restriction hidden under the bottom of the lake.

Yan Yun was overjoyed and landed towards the light curtain without hesitation.

This layer of blue light curtain was obviously not a powerful restriction. The purple fire collapsed at the touch and easily tore a hole about ten feet wide in the light curtain.

Yan Yun's figure flashed and he passed directly through the light curtain.

The blue light curtain healed quickly, blocking the lava out again. However, Yan Yun didn't care about it at all, and instead looked around.

He found himself in an underground tunnel, the ground and walls of which were uneven and extremely rough. Obviously, this tunnel was not dug by humans, but more like a masterpiece of nature.

Yan Yun threw the jade plate in his hand again without saying a word.

The jade plate spun a few times in the air, and once again turned into a blood-red full moon, rushing towards the depths of the tunnel. Yan Yun's face was grim, his feet left the ground, and he slowly followed behind.

After a flight of five or six miles, the tunnel began to gradually extend upwards.

After they climbed up for another hundred feet, a faint light appeared in front of them and they finally reached the exit.

Blood Moon flew out of the tunnel without hesitation. Yan Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance, and he silently spread his sleeves. A ball of three-color flames rolled down, which was the three-flame fan.

Yan Yun immediately took out his feather fan, and moved like the wind in an instant, surprisingly appearing outside the exit, looking around in a hidden manner.

It was pitch black all around, but in Yan Yun's bright and clear vision, it was as bright as day.

This turned out to be a huge cave hidden underground. It was silent and there seemed to be no one there.

Yan Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes fixed on an exit at the end of the cave, which seemed to lead to another mysterious cave.

The blood-red light was rushing in that direction, but suddenly stopped at the exit, making a sharp and piercing buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp sound was heard, and more than a dozen thin black cracks appeared on the surface of the blood moon. After flashing, it turned into countless crystal lights and dissipated.

When Yan Yun saw this scene, he was not surprised, but delighted.

With just a few light steps, he quickly reached the edge of another cave.

There was indeed another larger cave inside the cave, but when he looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The cave was filled with thick black fog, covering almost every corner of the cave. However, once the fog reached the cave exit, it immediately stopped, as if an invisible barrier blocked its way.

Yan Yun had bright and clear eyesight. To other cultivators, the dark cave was as transparent as air. Therefore, he spotted the three women lying on the ground in the middle of the cave at a glance.

Who else could it be besides Mu Peiling, Lin Wan'er and Li Mengyao?

Below the three women, there was a strange magic circle that was flickering with a faint spiritual light, and the black mist was constantly emerging from this magic circle.

Yan Yun did not rush into the cave to save the three women. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to search the inside and outside of the cave thoroughly. After confirming that the second Yuanying was indeed not there, he waved his arm without hesitation and slashed at the void at the exit. (End of this chapter)
