Chapter 218 The storm is coming
"Is there a hermit cultivation family with the surname Jia? I have never heard of it."
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Luo Shan and Ling Wanran glanced at the stone tablet with their spiritual sense and saw that it was the foundation-building scoreboard. The names those people pointed out surpassed Si Qianning of Wanjian Sect and Yin Zizhan of Yinshan Sect, and firmly occupied the first place with a huge score number.
"Jia Riyue, this name..."
Ling Wanran frowned:
"With the ability to suppress Yinshan Sect, Fellow Daoist Si must be a cultivator of considerable strength."
"Fellow Daoist Ling, please read the words 'sun' and 'moon' together again."
Luo San said directly.
"Jia Ming... a pseudonym?" Ling Wanran murmured, then raised her head and looked at the stone tablet.
"It seems that he is a cultivator who is unwilling to reveal his real name." Luo Shan nodded. He didn't quite believe the speculations about the hidden family.
"Let's go to the Imperial Gate first."
Luo San said this and walked ahead.
Inside the Fengsha City Lord's Mansion, the chief of the Corpse Puppet Tribe threw the five people at the feet of the Demon Devouring Sect's elders and repeated what Luo Shan had reported to him. Before he finished, he snorted coldly.
"Fellow Daoists from the Devouring Demon Sect, this matter is related to the Saintess of your sect. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
“Fellow Daoist Ci, what do you mean by this? These people have nothing to do with our Demon Devouring Sect. Don’t make random accusations.” One of the Nascent Soul black-clothed old men from the Demon Devouring Sect who was named said in a cold voice.
After saying that, he looked at the five people lying on the ground, snorted coldly, and released the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator directly, making the five people who were already injured even more injured.
"puff!"
Among them, the male cultivator with the lowest cultivation level in the early stage of foundation building could not withstand the pressure of Nascent Soul and directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It doesn't matter, fellow Daoist, we are all not fools. The saint girl of your Demon Devouring Sect..." The patriarch of the Gu tribe also stood up. This man brought up the saint girl of the Demon Devouring Sect in southern Xinjiang. No matter if they were related or not, he was very unhappy with the Demon Devouring Sect.
They can fight among themselves in Southern Xinjiang, but they must not be used as pawns for experiments by the cultivators from the other two regions.
"Yes, although these five people are from Southern Xinjiang, they are not our Southern Xinjiang cultivators. Now the Four Directions Realm is in a critical moment, and these five are in Southern Xinjiang and want to sway our Southern Xinjiang cultivators to become pawns for some shameful things."
Everyone here knows that if a human cultivator touches the energy body inside a monster's body, they will be corroded by negative energy. However, these people with evil minds actually encourage their cultivators in southern Xinjiang to absorb those things.
"Friend Ci, Friend?, there is something strange about this matter. It must be the work of an evil cultivator." The elder of the Rakshasa Sect came out to smooth things over.
"Search his soul directly. I want to see who dares to slander my Demon Devouring Sect." Another elder of the Demon Devouring Sect said nothing and directly reached out his hand to pick up a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was lying underneath.
Ignoring the gaze of the Dongyue monk, he directly searched the soul.
"How is it, have you found anything?"
"Hmph, a bunch of rabble." After searching the soul, the Nascent Soul cultivator's face turned ashen, and his five fingers clenched tightly. The Foundation Establishment cultivator's soul was instantly destroyed.
"Why did you kill him!" Tian Ce Zhenjun of Wan Jian Sect had a dark face. They did not investigate carefully, but this evil cultivator from Devouring Demon Sect actually destroyed people's souls directly.
"He has ruined the reputation of my Demon Devouring Sect, so why shouldn't I kill him?" The elder of the Demon Devouring Sect threw the Foundation Establishment cultivator aside.
"What a reputation your Demon Sect has! It's really ridiculous." Tian Ce Zhenjun said sarcastically.
"Well, you human cultivators are really ridiculous. You want both fame and profit. You are so hypocritical." A Yuanying Great Demon wearing light green sneered from the demon clan:
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me directly who is the mastermind behind these five people. How dare they come out to cause trouble at this time? Find the mastermind and let me have a good meal."
Everyone ignored the Nascent Soul demon and went straight to look at the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Devouring Demon Sect who had just searched his soul.
"The mastermind is called the Lord by them. His cultivation is unknown. He has never appeared in front of them. Even if he appeared, he would have a magic weapon to conceal his aura and appearance."
"This..." Isn't it the same as not saying anything?
Everyone was speechless, and their eyes turned to the four remaining survivors.
“How about I search their souls then?” The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Devouring Demon Sect said as he was about to take action, but he was a step too slow.
The Wuji Sect's Huashen Venerable spoke:
"Take them away and keep them under guard first. Wuhen, you go and interrogate them."
Wuhen Sword Master held the Jade Bone Sword, said nothing, nodded, and left with the remaining four people.
"What's there to interrogate? Just search the soul directly." The Demon Clan's God Transformation Venerable did not like the behavior of the Dongyue cultivator. Instead, he felt that the soul search of the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Devouring Demon Sect just now had deeply touched his heart.
Venerable Wuwei of the Wuji Sect nodded, his tone calm. He did not look like a powerful Divine Transformation cultivator, but rather like an ordinary old man with an aged face and many wrinkles on his face.
"If we can't get anything out of the interrogation, we'll just search his soul."
"I really don't like the hypocritical behavior of you Dongyue cultivators." The demon cultivator shook his head, then turned and left.
Several Nascent Soul demons followed closely behind. The chief of the Corpse Puppet Tribe and the chief of the Gu Tribe looked at each other, and they also left the meeting hall.
…~…
"A second-rank formation master?" Inside the Imperial Gate's headquarters, after Luo Shan and Ling Wanran handed over the jade letter of voice transmission given by Gu Yue, Senior Yan from the Imperial Gate smiled.
"There are several small key points of the city defense formation that are unattended right now. You've come just in time."
"Go find Ruan Yan. She is also a second-rank formation master. Several formation masters in her team were injured a few days ago. You should go to her group." He quickly arranged for Ling Wanran to go. Before Yan Ling could give a few more instructions, he heard a disciple from the Imperial Gate rushing in.
"Elder Yan, it's bad. The seal of the wilderness has loosened. The formation can no longer hold up!"
The person who came had an anxious look on his face. The desolate area was where the demons were sealed by the powerful humans tens of thousands of years ago.
Although tens of thousands of years have passed and some demons with low cultivation have fallen in the long river of time, the demons that invaded the Four Directions World back then included demon generals with great cultivation.
Once released, the whole world will be devastated.
In the Four Directions Realm today, the most powerful one is only a Venerable in the late stage of Spirit Transformation. It has been ten thousand years since any cultivator in the Four Directions Realm broke through to the Mahayana stage and ascended to the Lesser Spirit Realm.
"What!" Yan Ling was shocked and disappeared from the spot.
"I have something urgent to do. If you have any questions, you can find Ruan Yan."
In the empty room, there were only Luo Shan, Ling Wanran and the imperial disciple who came in hurriedly.
When the disciples of Nayumen heard their elder say this, they immediately looked at Luo Shan and the other two with suspicion.
Are these two people both formation masters?
Luo Shan and Ling Wanran ignored each other's strange expressions, but walked over to ask each other where Ruan Yan was.
