Five Immortals Gate

#2193 - Dark Night Demon (Part 3)

Similarly, from the information obtained through soul searching, Li Yan learned that the outcome of the previous market incident was that all four of Amuer had died.

That is to say, the people he killed in the teleportation array, except for Amuer who was captured by him, were indeed dead beyond resurrection.

And the Void Refinement Realm elder who was stationed in the market at the time didn't get any clues at all? But how did Zhu Hongyi know about his situation so clearly?

As soon as Li Yan thought of this, he quickly looked around, wondering if all the formations in the market had a recording function.

His guess was actually reasonable, as some important protective areas would indeed have such arrangements in order to prevent unverifiable incidents.

Li Yan quickly scanned with his divine sense, but found no recording function in the surrounding formations. This was just his subconscious action.

He quickly adopted the simplest method, continuing to search through Lin Chaoming's memory...

After another search, Li Yan found that there was no memory of any recording formations in the information about the teleportation array and the formations here.

Li Yan's thoughts raced. The level of recording formations was very high, but more importantly, the consumption was extremely alarming.

The materials needed to engrave recordings, even for a formation the size of a room, were beyond the means of a second-rate sect.

Moreover, the high cost of long-term use and maintenance of the formation, year after year, could bankrupt even a first-rate sect, and it would only be used occasionally at most.

After discovering that the other party had no memory of this, Li Yan pondered for a while before feeling relieved. At this time, he had two guesses.

One possibility for his exposure was that Amuer had left some clues, and this possibility was very high.

The other party was afraid that he might die unexpectedly before he could even take revenge, which would be extremely unwilling for Amuer.

So he thought that if something happened to him, he could expose Li Yan's identity, since he would not get any benefits anyway.

He simply revealed all the information he had found, so that he could bring endless trouble to his enemy.

Another possibility was that 'Luo Gu Cheng' had some method to trace back time!

Li Yan had even seen Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. Although there were too many supernatural powers he could not understand, he had heard of many incredible great supernatural powers.

With a thought, Li Yan took Lin Chaoming into the 'Earth Spot'. He did not intend to kill him immediately before his subsequent plan was fully formed.

As for dealing with Elder Zhang next door, for a top assassin like Li Yan, the most difficult part of an assassination is opening the situation. Once there is a smooth start, there is no need to spend much effort later.

He was too familiar with setting up ambushes to kill people. Soon, he transformed himself into Lin Chaoming's appearance, and then quickly rearranged the room.

Then, sitting calmly in the chair, he had heard Lin Chaoming's voice, and it was no problem to imitate it with the means of a cultivator.

He casually picked up Lin Chaoming's sect token and asked Elder Zhang next door to come over, saying that there was something to discuss.

Only a few dozen breaths later, Elder Zhang's voice came from outside the door. When the door opened, Elder Zhang saw Elder Lin gesturing for him to enter...

Everything was so logical. Li Yan was entirely plotting against cultivators of the same rank, and all of them were intentional calculations against the unintentional.

Elder Zhang did not notice the abnormality here at all, so naturally he would not have any doubts. The two of them had been on duty here together for so long.

And Elder Lin had just received a Taoist priest before, so he thought something had happened and walked into the trap without any precautions...

Under Li Yan's same method, Void Refinement Realm cultivators were as fragile as Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators in front of him.

Elder Zhang only said a few words to Li Yan before closing his eyes and falling into a coma. He may not have even had a strange thought before he became unconscious.

Li Yan's poison was too powerful. If such a thing were to spread out, it would shock countless people. These were two Void Refinement Realm cultivators, and they were also Void Refinement Realm sword cultivators with the most ferocious combat power.

But this is the method of a brilliant assassin. No matter how powerful the opponent is, under their carefully designed and ambushed, everything seems so fragile.

This is exactly what ordinary people often say, 'It is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark!' No matter how invincible your martial arts are, you often can't resist a cup of poisoned wine...

Li Yan then performed a soul search on Elder Zhang, and the result he finally obtained was almost the same as before.

Elder Zhang also only knew that the two Supreme Elders had gone out, and the reason he knew was also to find the real culprit who made trouble in the market, vowing to kill the other party with their swords.

But in Elder Zhang's memory, Li Yan still saw a surprising piece of information, which could not be considered a real piece of information.

Because that was Elder Zhang's own speculation, for which he had secretly investigated some things.

This Elder Zhang's mind was much deeper than Lin Chaoming's. After learning that the sect's two Supreme Elders had gone out, he thought more about some things.

He also speculated that the two Supreme Elders must have found some clues, but in his opinion, they were extremely important clues, otherwise it would not be possible for two people to go out at once.

The reason why this situation would occur is that the murderer who killed Amuer and the others must have a considerable force behind him.

Therefore, this is why the two Supreme Elders attach so much importance to it and need to dispatch both of them. Of course, the murderer himself is certainly not worth the Supreme Elders'出手.

If the opponent were truly that powerful, they wouldn't have been caught up by the elder guarding the area back then, engaging in a fight before finally escaping; they would have been killed with a single blow.

Otherwise, if the two Grand Elders were only continuing to inquire about information, they wouldn't have needed to go out together. It was definitely because they had confirmed something important that such a situation arose.

And this Elder Zhang also knew that Amu'er and the other three were dead, so he speculated that the Grand Elders must have used the "Sword Spirit Connects to Sun and Moon" divine ability, thus discovering important clues.

However, after he secretly inquired, he didn't obtain any confirmation, so he didn't dare to continue probing deeply.

"Sword Spirit Connects to Sun and Moon?"

A look of shock appeared on Li Yan's face. He was genuinely surprised, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

However, his complexion had become very solemn, and with his eyes slightly narrowed, he once again performed soul-searching on Elder Zhang and Lin Chaoming respectively.

As time rapidly disappeared, a sharp glint began to flash in Li Yan's eyes. He had already found the function of the "Luo Lonely City" divine ability.

In their memories, there was no cultivation method for this technique, as they were not yet qualified to obtain it.

But they both knew the function of this technique, and Li Yan was shocked to see it.

"No wonder they were able to find me. The problem lies with Amu'er. Zhu Hongyi can see some scenes from the past…"

The question that had been troubling him had also been answered at this moment. "Sword Spirit Connects to Sun and Moon" is related to the time law, one of the most difficult heaven and earth laws to cultivate in the world.

It's just that this divine ability must be cultivated to the Integration Realm before it can be practiced. The difficulty of cultivation is so high that it is daunting. Currently, in the entire sect, only Zhu Hongyi can barely be considered to have succeeded in cultivation.

But it has only reached the Minor Accomplishment stage, and he can no longer make any progress. This technique can trace a period of past time, with a certain probability of seeing the light and shadow of a certain period of time.

However, there are many restrictions and harsh conditions on the caster. First of all, the time of the past event to be investigated must be within a short period of time.

Moreover, the spell is mainly completed through the sword spirit. Once the spell is cast, the sword spirit will be severely damaged. After each cast, it will take more than a hundred years to nurture the sword spirit alone.

Therefore, sword cultivators will not use this technique unless it is absolutely necessary, as it has a great impact on their combat power.

This Elder Zhang couldn't be sure about it, and it was just a kind of association and guess on his part, but Li Yan had completely confirmed it.

The other party had already found him. He had quickly fought his way out of the market here, and Zhu Hongyi should have come to the West Qi Market afterwards.

As the Grand Elder of "Luo Lonely City", with the West Qi Market being so important to the development of the sect, it is very likely that he would use this technique at all costs, and then he might see the light and shadow of himself taking action…

Under the shock of Li Yan, he carefully read the news about "Sword Spirit Connects to Sun and Moon" in the memories of the two people several times, and his heart was filled with disappointment…

After a while, Li Yan finally put this matter aside. Although there was no cultivation method for this technique in the memories of these two people, Li Yan didn't have any ideas about it.

This technique is certainly powerful, but he is not a sword cultivator. Even if he got such a technique, would he have to change to sword cultivation? Moreover, he would have to nurture a sword spirit.

After combining all the information, Li Yan had to formulate the following plan. He sat on the chair and began to think…

That Zhu Hongyi is probably not coming back. Even if the other party can survive, Li Yan certainly cannot go to the suspected "Tongtian River" to find him.

Yan He can be completely sure that he is dead. According to the speculation of these two cultivators stationed in the market, that golden-eyed flying rat should also know the truth.

As long as this demon beast is not dead, then Li Yan's secret will still be leaked. Fortunately, the "Luo Lonely City" does not know about Zhu Hongyi's affairs yet.

Therefore, this secret will not be accidentally exposed for the time being, and the golden-eyed flying rat will not leak the news so quickly, so Li Yan has a certain amount of time to prepare.

And his main target to kill next will be changed to dealing with a demon cultivator in the Integration Realm, which has become more difficult.

Li Yan thought about it, and he felt that there should be no problem for him to infiltrate the other party's sect. He has two Void Refinement Realm elders of the other party in his hands.

It's just that his plan will be postponed to six years later. These two elders stationed in the market will have to wait six years for this round of guarding to end.

If they want to return to the sect now, they must have a reasonable reason. At the same time, these two are Void Refinement Realm cultivators.

Li Yan's current "Differentiation Willow" has also been cultivated to a higher realm, and a Void Refinement Initial Stage avatar can now appear, but this will affect the decline of Li Yan's main body's strength.

If an avatar is used to impersonate them, a person transformed by mana and divine consciousness, it is still easy to be seen through by the strong people of "Luo Lonely City", especially those who are familiar with the techniques of these two people.

At the same time, waiting here for six years is too long, and the possibility of exposure during this process accounts for almost 90%.

In addition to this reason, there is also an extremely difficult implementation point in Li Yan's plan, that is, even if he can go to "Luo Lonely City" in advance, how can he approach that golden-eyed flying rat?

Even if he says that he has something to report to the other party, if he suddenly disturbs this golden-eyed flying rat, he will definitely be vigilant.

Li Yan is carrying the Five Immortals Sect's techniques, and he can still imitate the momentum of a sword cultivator on the surface, but in front of a sword cultivator who is too familiar and whose cultivation base is as high as a seventh-order demon beast, Li Yan is still not very confident.

"Going to 'Luo Lonely City'?"

Li Yan hesitated. It would be most appropriate for him to design a plan to lure the other party out.

"Luo Lonely City" also has the "Ten Directions Golden Light Sword Formation" to protect the sect, which is a killing formation built with the massive resources of a second-rate sect.

Even cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence stage may fall into it, which is also the terrifying aspect of a sword cultivator sect!
