Celestial being

Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

He had already had murderous intentions towards Mr. Guo, and now he would not let him go if he revealed his identity as a soul cultivator.

Yuan Ming didn't waste any time. His mind immediately moved, and five more soul crows flew out from the sea of ​​consciousness and circled above his head.

When Mr. Guo saw this, he felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known that the other party was a soul cultivator, he would not have had the trouble to pursue him like this.

After all, based on his experience in the alchemy stage, he knew that some soul cultivators were focused on cultivating the power of the soul. On the surface, their magic power was not strong, and their physical bodies were also very weak. However, their attainments in soul cultivation may have reached a level that can kill enemies. to an invisible degree.

However, judging from the current situation, the opponent is probably just a foundation-building soul cultivator. As long as he handles it carefully, he should be fine.

He immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He took off a jade pendant from his waist, put it in his palm and cast a spell to activate it. He chanted the magic formula for a while, then bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the jade pendant.

The jade pendant absorbed the blood in an instant, then flew up automatically and floated to the top of Mr. Guo's head, emitting a dazzling light blue light.

Guo Laodun, who was illuminated by this light, felt that the spiritual platform was clear and his soul was clear. It was as if an invisible force had wrapped around his sea of ​​consciousness, blocking all external influences.

However, Yuan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Mr. Guo using his methods. His soul power surged in the sea of ​​consciousness. The six soul crows immediately spread their wings and formed a formation from top to bottom.

Then suddenly red light flashed in their eyes, and surging soul power poured out of them like threads, connecting them together in the blink of an eye, forming a magic circle pattern in mid-air.

And at the moment when all the soul crows were connected, they opened their mouths to perform Crow Cry at the same time, but the sound waves did not come from their mouths, but spewed out from the center of the formation.

The black sound wave was several times larger than before, giving people the illusion of a black mist covering the sky.

This is the soul crow formation that Yuan Ming developed by analyzing the Guiyuan Sect's battle formation method. It can increase the power of the crow's cry several times more than usual based on the number of soul crows added to the formation.

However, Mr. Guo, who was protected by the spiritual light of his jade pendant, seemed particularly confident, and even had a somewhat disdainful smile on his face.

"If you were a love witch, I would still be afraid of you. Unfortunately, you are just a phantom witch. You have fallen into my hands today!"

Sure enough, black sound waves came in like a wave, and when they came into contact with the light blue light emitted by the jade pendant, they collapsed instantly.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming suddenly panicked, and Mr. Guo immediately activated his magic weapon, and countless fireballs shot out of the sky, completely engulfing Yuan Ming and Lei Yu.

Mr. Guo laughed loudly, put down his guard, and flew forward to catch Yuan Ming's burned body.

"I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise when I came out this time. Although I am just a phantom wizard, with this merit, the sect will definitely-"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, and everything in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a hand holding his head and a little light leaking from between the fingers.

From the corner of his eye, he could vaguely see a headless corpse, and the clothes and robes on it were so familiar.

Yuan Ming used the blood-transforming knife to cut off Mr. Guo's head and put away his body. At the same time, while his soul was still lingering, he immediately grabbed his head and used Soul Search.

Soon, Mr. Guo completely lost his vitality, and his soul also dissipated between heaven and earth.

But Yuan Ming also obtained some information he wanted by observing his memory.

What surprised him was that this Mr. Guo was not an unknown cultivator, but an elder from the Five Thunder Sect.

When he was young, he was seriously injured by an alchemy cultivator, and he managed to save his life. He defected to the Five Thunder Sect in order to avoid disaster.

Because he was an outsider, he had little status in the Five Thunder Sect. He could only rely on the young monk he called the Young Master, and eventually followed him to the Black Wind Desert.

The young master's real name is Yu Hong, and he is responsible for the business of the shops under the name of the Five Thunder Sect in the Black Wind Desert. He has privately recruited a group of foundation-building casual cultivators. Once he finds that a rival shop is seizing his business, he will let this group of casual cultivators. Xiu takes action and disguises himself as a sand pirate to rob the caravan of his opponent's store.

But this time Yuhong targeted Baidanfang, firstly because Baidanfang had robbed him of his business, and secondly because he had some thoughts on Yan Sijing and wanted to force her into a desperate situation and then take her into a furnace.

Therefore, he specially brought Mr. Guo here in disguise and personally robbed and killed him in order to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As for the jade pendant he just used, it is actually a unique magical weapon of the Five Thunder Sect, called "Qingxin Pendant". It is a magical weapon specially used to resist the illusion of soul cultivation.

Similar magical weapons are very common in the Five Thunder Sect, but the specific reason is not very clear to Mr. Guo.

The names for soul cultivators in the Five Thunder Sect are also different. They are not the conventional Qi refining and foundation building, but are divided into soul witches, fantasy witches and love witches. As for why they are divided like this, Mr. Guo does not know.

Yuan Ming put away Mr. Guo's head, thought about it, and still felt that something was fishy.

In Mr. Guo's memory, Yuhong and Baidanfang were not from the same group, and they actually came to rob the caravan this time. But why did Chai Jiujin predict their appearance in advance like a prophet?

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Ming immediately switched his perspective and focused on the first soul.

When Chai Jiujin escaped, he secretly released the first part of his soul, turned into a transparent soul crow, and followed Chai Jiujin in order to find out the truth about this escort mission.

However, when Yuan Ming saw the situation clearly through the first soul, he was surprised.

…

Above the sand sea, the battle situation has been decided.

Chai Jiujin's forehead was sweating, and he controlled the ice jade ring to tightly wrap around the purple electric sword. Beside him, another Danjie elder from Baidanfang's eyes darkened, and his fingers rushed into the void in front of him.

As bursts of yellow light flashed, the nine earth-yellow flying knives transformed into the shadow of a sky-throwing knife, directly slashing the jade seal away, and then slashed at Yuhong's head.

At this time, Yuhong no longer had the arrogance he had before. He ran away in embarrassment, and at the same time roared with anger: "Do you know who I am? If you dare to kill me, you will definitely--"

The sound of sharp blades breaking through the body suddenly sounded. Yuhong's words were interrupted by his own wails. He could no longer maintain his magic power and fell from the air screaming.

Covered in blood, he hit the sand hard, and his bones instantly shattered. Blood gushed out from the wounds, soon turning the sand red.

At this moment, two monks came down with their magic weapons and stood in front of Yu Hong.

The blood blurred Yuhong's vision, making it difficult for him to see clearly who was standing in front of him. He could only use his last strength to reach out to the two people.

"Don't... kill me... I'm..."

"The dog thief who killed my uncle!"

With a roar, Yan Siyun raised the wooden staff she was holding and stabbed Yu Hong in the head.

Blood and brains spattered out, staining Yan Siyun's long dress.

Beside her, Yan Sijing still felt upset. She took out her long sword weapon and slashed at Yu Hong's body dozens of times.

The sun sets in the west, and the red sunset dyes the sky red.

On the top of the red sand dune, Yan Siyun and Yan Sijing stood side by side. The breeze blew, and the blood-stained long skirts slowly floated, like burning clouds in the sky, and like blooming flowers on the other side.

Under the sand dunes, the other foundation-building monks from Baidanfang watched this scene with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Chai Jiujin fell from the sky. Seeing this scene, he seemed to want to say something. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he just sighed.

Another Danjie monk stood next to Sister Yan Siyun, looking at Yuhong's body with a faint look.

"Brother Yan, the person who killed you is dead, and your spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace."

Sisters Yan Siyun's parents died young and they were raised by their uncle. Later, they founded Baidanfang, which received full support from their uncle. The sisters were responsible for running the business, and their uncle was responsible for running the business.

However, the last time the caravan was robbed, their uncle, who was already in the pill formation stage, died at the hands of Yu Hong. The sisters deliberately set up this trap in order to take revenge.

Everyone stood there mourning for a while, but it was Yan Siyun who wiped her tears first, turned around and said: "Elder Zhen, please keep this thief's storage bag first. We will go to the camp immediately. There is a pill over there. Those casual cultivators who are hired won’t last long.”

The alchemy monk known as Elder Zhen nodded and was about to reach out to pick up the storage bag on Yuhong's body, but suddenly turned his head and looked to the southwest.

"somebody is coming."

Hearing this, everyone became nervous instantly, but soon, they saw that coming from the southwest was not the Danjie enemy as expected, but Yuan Ming riding a thunderstorm.

After he discovered through the first soul that Yuhong was besieged by the monks from Baidanfang, he rushed over immediately.

He stood on Lei Yu's back, looked Yan Siyun up and down, then turned his eyes to Yan Sijing and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, don't you want to explain it to me?"

Yan Sijing was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Yan Siyun stepped forward and said, "Since fellow Taoist Yuan has escaped, another Dandan Sand Bandit must have died at your hands."

Yuan Ming sneered, flipped his hand and threw Mr. Guo's headless body out: "Do you seem to know me well, fellow Taoist?"

Chai Jiujin and Elder Zhen still didn't believe Yan Siyun's words. When they saw Elder Guo's body, they were stunned and looked like they had seen a ghost.

Although Yan Sijing heard from her sister that Yuan Ming could kill Jiedan through leaps and bounds, she was extremely surprised when she saw the solid evidence.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan is joking. I just collected some information, so I know your other identity." Yan Siyun said, and suddenly sent a message to Yuan Ming. She just opened her lips lightly and said three words: "Ming Yue god".

However, Yuan Ming's expression changed: "Haha, fellow Taoist, please don't talk nonsense. I will not take the blame for this."

"If Fellow Daoist Yuan says no, then it's not good. But now, Fellow Daoist Yuan should be in the mood to have a good chat with me, right?" Yan Siyun smiled.

Yuan Ming didn't answer, his eyes fell on Yu Hong's body on the sand dune, and he suddenly asked: "Since fellow Taoist said that he has collected a lot of information, do you know the true identities of these two pill-forming sand thieves?"

Yan Siyun frowned and heard Yuan Ming say this, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart: "Please ask fellow Taoist to clarify my doubts."

"I wonder if you have heard of Yu Hong from Wu Lei Pavilion in Purple Thunder City?" Yuan Ming asked.
