Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 195 Those who wish take the bait

Zhuque was confused by what he heard and wanted to bite Yun Yi.

After this guy followed the young lady back to the Demon Sect, the two seemed to have a telepathic connection and often said things that were difficult to understand.

For example, when planning to destroy the Tiancan Sect, they finalized the general plan after just a few words, and during that time Zhuque felt like a fool who only understood fragments of what was said.

But Yun Yi seemed to love the feeling of telling riddles and was unwilling to explain it clearly for Zhuque.

Suzaku gritted his teeth and said, "Are you and the young lady hiding something from me?!"

Yun Yi nodded: "Indeed, there are, and quite a few."

"How abominable!"

"Haha, please, Guardian Suzaku, please be mindful of your attitude. The person standing before you is the Right Sword Servant."

"Okay, okay, Master Right Sword Servant!" Zhuque stomped his feet in anger and really wanted to pinch Yun Yi to death with his eyelids. He thought that this stinky man had only been practicing for a short time, so how could he inexplicably reach the Return to Void Realm and now surpass him.

The young lady is also biased. She had clearly agreed before that we would abduct Yun Yi to the Demon Sect and let him be a protector. Why did she change her mind after going out for a while?

Something is wrong, something must have happened between these two people!

Yun Yi ignored Zhuque's gaze, thinking that the Demon Lord Yi Tianxing was about to come out of seclusion, and at the critical moment, he just summoned all the ancestors of the Hedao realm from the major sects to protect him.

Now is a great opportunity to eliminate the Tiancan Sect, and once it succeeds, the Burial Sword Valley will occupy the lands of the three major sects, and even Yi Tianxing will be wary at that time.

It can also be regarded as a gift to old man Qiu Feng.

A fierce look flashed in Yun Yi's eyes. Since he had returned to the Demon Sect, he had to change some things.

Being passive is not his style.

……

Taoist Gao woke up slowly, and the first thing he did was to reach into his arms to look for the remaining pages of the "Secret Book of Hehuan".

Only after he was sure the fragments were intact did he breathe a sigh of relief, thinking he had finally made it through. Without them, the attack on Wangyou Temple would be unexplainable, and he would surely be killed.

Obviously, Zhuque's method of bewitching the mind has worked.

Now Taoist Gao firmly believed that he was being hunted down just because of the remaining pages of the Hehuan Secret Book, and the most urgent task was to quickly pass the news back to the Tiancan Sect.

As for who was chasing him, he had completely forgotten the right sword servant of the Sword Burial Valley.

Taoist Gao was extremely cautious along the way and it took him quite some time to reach a place where he could contact the Tiancan Sect.

After the person in charge of the contact confirmed the identity of Taoist Gao, he heard that he had something important to report, so he took him to a hidden residence where there was a jade-like ball, surrounded by complicated talismans.

It is the treasure used by the sect on the mountain to send messages. Due to its huge cost, it is never easily opened on weekdays.

Taoist Gao's vision blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he was on an altar made of bones. Nine human-skin lanterns hung in the air, illuminating the figure on the blood-stained jade throne in the center, which flickered in and out.

It was one of the shadows from the Tiancan Sect, wearing half a bronze ghost mask on his face.

It is rumored that in addition to the sect leader who is in the Hedao realm, the Tiancan sect has five other shadows, all of whom have reached the Fanxu realm. The five of them are of the same spirit and have a mutual understanding.

Previously, a shadow died in Crescent City, but the Tiancan Sect quickly selected a new "shadow", always maintaining the number at "five".

I don’t know what the deeper meaning is.

Taoist Gao immediately bowed and said, "I greet the elder!"

"I heard that you have something important to report?" The ghost-faced shadow said impatiently.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up on both sides of the Blood Jade Throne. This was a formation unique to the Tiancan Sect, similar in effect to the "Falsehood Precept" of the Fusheng Temple. Any lie under the gaze of these blood-red eyes would transform into karmic fire, burning the liar to ash.

Taoist Gao did not dare to act rashly and immediately told everything he had seen and known.

Unexpectedly, the "confusing mind technique" that Zhuque used on him could actually avoid the scrutiny of the strange formation. In the eyes of the lie detector formation, every word and action of Taoist Gao was true and he did not lie.

The ghost-faced shadow stretched out his hand, and immediately the remaining pages of the "Secret Book of Hehuan" in Taoist Gao's hand flew over by themselves.

As he flipped through the pages, he said, "Is it an authentic work?"

Taoist Gao lowered his head and said nothing, but his body was shaking like a sieve.

Ghost Face questioned him again, and finally asked, "Besides you, who else knows about this?"

"No, no more."

"Very good." The ghost-faced shadow put away the torn pages. "In that case, I'll send you on your way."

After saying this, a beam of blood suddenly pierced Taoist Gao's eyebrows, completely cutting off his life.

Then the magic circle dissipated and the room returned to its normal appearance, except that the luster on the surface of the jade ball had dimmed a lot.

A disciple packed up Taoist Gao's body, then closed the door and left.

Little did they know that a quarrel had broken out at the main location of the Tiancan Sect.

The remaining pages of the "Secret Book of Hehuan" were examined by five shadows in turn, but their opinions were not unanimous.

"Now that the Grand Master has gone to protect the Demon Lord, and the Second Master has reached a critical juncture in his cultivation of divine power, I think we should stay away from this mess."

"The key lies in whether the He Huan Sect's treasure is real or fake. According to the information above, the underground palace is not far from the Paradise Gate. If we are slow to act, I'm afraid the Burial Sword Valley will get there first."

"That won't do. The Sword Burial Valley is already quite powerful. If the treasure falls into their hands, won't they always be able to suppress us in the future?"

"In my opinion, there was something strange about the destruction of the Hehuan Sect back then. The fact that the Jile Sect suddenly grew stronger after occupying the Hehuan Sect's territory must also be strange. It's worth investigating."

"That's right, that's right. The Buried Sword Valley has already produced a genius like Song Xinci. If we let them get the treasure, we will never be able to make a name for ourselves again."

"What if there's a conspiracy?"

"Oh, if the five of us join forces, we can still escape unscathed if we encounter a Hedao Realm opponent. I want to see which blind person dares to plot against us."

After some discussion, the five shadows finally decided to investigate first. If they could really find the underground palace, they would make a conclusion then.

These five people are full of confidence, and they have their reasons.

Their names are "Blood Shadow", "Ghost Face", "Sangmen", "Jiehui", and the leader of the five, "Qianji".

As the five guardians of Tiancan Sect, one of them is in the late stage, two are in the middle stage, and two are in the early stage. If they work together to perform the Five Plagues Battle Formation, their strength will be further improved.

This time they went out in full force, and if they had not encountered an old monster in the Hedao realm from a certain sect, they would have had few rivals.

In contrast, Song Xinci of the Buried Sword Valley was at the Hedao Realm, just enough to fight against the Second Sect Master of the Tiancan Sect. However, below them, there were only two Sword Attendants at the Return to Void Realm, and facing five shadows, they were somewhat stretched.

However, the fights between sects have never been based solely on the level of cultivation.

The right time and place are indispensable.

Now the Yun Yi trap has been set up, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
