I will survive with proficiency

After Wei Xun left, Chen Ping thought about countermeasures.

Although he promised Wei Xun to ask Xiyue for help, Chen Ping was not willing to trouble Xiyue for everything until the moment of last resort.

Solving it yourself is the best option.

Gong Zhiyuan's golden core has seven levels, he has heels, and he may have inheritance and life-saving means from his backer. It is best not to face such a person head-on.

It's not impossible.

If you want to hold Gong Zhiyuan back, there are at least two ways to go:

The first way is to intervene with the help of another big sect in Nakajima.

To achieve the goal of the snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's benefit.

But this road is all about chance. Last time, the three monks Chacha Qin showed up and gave them such an opportunity.

But this time there was no such opportunity.

The second way is to start with Gong Zhiyuan himself and let Gong Zhiyuan give up on his own.

The best way to make Gong Zhiyuan give up is to make him unable to expand further.

Like getting him hurt.

Let him fear expansion and focus on himself.

The second point, Chen Ping can do it.

Chen Ping returned to the quiet room, took out the yellow paper, rouge, pen and ink, and began to paint the portrait of Gong Zhiyuan he had seen decades ago.

Gong Zhiyuan's image is very characteristic: short in stature, dark skinned, extremely protruding forehead, and looks unusually uncoordinated.

Even if Chen Ping only met him once, he still had a deep impression on him, which is still fresh in his memory.

Under the outline of full-level painting skills, a colorful portrait of Gong Zhiyuan soon appeared on the paper.

That night, Xu Ruyan was released.

It's time to play Xu Ruyan's value.

"Master, who is this?" After Xu Ruyan came out, she saw Chen Ping motioning her to look at the portrait on the table, and looked at it curiously.

"It's pretty ugly," she added.

Chen Ping: .

Am I saying something ugly or not?

Pass her the scroll:

"This man's name is Gong Zhiyuan. You should take note of his appearance carefully. This man is currently the head of the Dragon-seeking Sect. He is very bad. You go to the Dragon-hunting sect and use the seven wounds technique to seed Gong Zhiyuan's soul, and then quietly Just come back."

His Seven Injury Technique has reached the full level. In this case, Xu Ruyan can plant souls on three people at the same time.

And it can realize soul seeding across a large realm.

Gong Zhiyuan, who is mere at the seventh level of the golden core, would not be aware of it even if he was implanted with a soul.

"Yes." Xu Ruyan grasped the point.

She is very familiar with Xunlongzong, and she is very familiar with it.

Chen Ping reminded:

"Gong Zhiyuan's Golden Core is seventh-level, and he comes from the Dazong sect of Zhongdao. His strength is very small. You only need to plant a soul. Remember not to take too many actions, and you must not attack him with a fluke mentality."

With the full level of Seven Injuries, Xu Ruyan's concealment is very strong, and she can fool most of the exorcism talismans, magic tools, and even magic weapons.

As long as it is only a soul, Gong Zhiyuan will not have any awareness.

But if Gong Zhiyuan was forcibly attacked, that would be another matter.

Xu Ruyan had just entered the third level, and she was practicing a non-aggressive sorcery such as the Seven Injuries Technique. The aggressiveness itself was deteriorating, so there was a high probability that she would not be Gong Zhiyuan's opponent.

Seeing Xu Ruyan's promise, Chen Ping continued:

"This person may not be in the Dragon-seeking Sect at this moment, and it is also possible to go further south. If so, you don't have to worry. You don't need to chase to the south, just guard the Immortal Cultivation City outside the Dragon-seeking Sect. At most, it will take more time, and there is no need to rush to seek it." become."

This is the first time that Xu Ruyan is allowed to go out on a mission alone, so the knowledge that should be popularized still needs to be popularized.

Everything is stable.

"Remember, master, that Yan'er has gone." Xu Ruyan agreed.

Chen Ping nodded.

At present, Gong Zhiyuan is annexing the Extreme Palace, which is half of the sect's sphere of influence in the land of Nanzhao Heluo, and various forces and strange methods are emerging one after another.

It was the best moment to plot against Gong Zhiyuan.

In the future, when Gong Zhiyuan realizes that he has been tricked, he will only wonder if he has provoked forces that should not be provoked in the Extreme Palace.

After Xu Ruyan left Sanxiu City, she turned her head and glanced at the seven Ling Xiaozong who were as powerful as the master in the night, blinked her big eyes, and didn't go directly to the south.

Instead, head east.

After a while, she appeared in a dense forest in the center of Qingyun Domain.

The forest there is extremely dense and inaccessible, but there are few towering trees that have grown for hundreds of years. On the contrary, there are many broken and huge trunks lying in the forest. of tree trunks.

It shows that a very destructive battle took place here decades ago.

If Chen Ping was here, he would definitely recognize that this was the main battlefield of the Demon Slayer War before Qingyunyu was sealed off.

There have been several gold elixir battlefields that have fallen.

Decades later, the place is still full of miasma and demonic energy looming. It is an absolute 'forbidden zone' for low-level monks, which are rare in Qingyun Region.

Countless monks have died here, and for a long time there are remnants of their souls everywhere. It is a paradise for evil spirits.

The same is true for the former Xu Ruyan.

Xu Ruyan entered the 'restricted area' skillfully, at the corner of the huge pit, flashed into a slanting tunnel, walked through the curved tunnel, and finally entered a spacious cave.

The cave was also badly damaged, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the tall stone pillars were mottled.

But Xu Ruyan didn't stop, and continued to go down for several miles through a secret passage, and finally stopped in a cramped cave that had also been destroyed.

"Sister." Xu Ruyan called softly.

This is a voice that only Xie Chong can understand.

"Yan'er~"

A figure whose evil spirit was weaker than Xu Ruyan countless times flashed out from behind, and suddenly flashed in front of Xu Ruyan, with ghostly eyes, sizing up Xu Ruyan seriously.

"Sister, you don't need to look at her, Yan'er is fine." Xu Ruyan smiled sweetly.

The other evil spirit is Xu Ruyan's sister, Xu Ruluan.

Xu Ruluan wept with joy:

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and my sister thought you were gone. My sister and your aunt Leng went to the Dragon Hunting School and found out that Su Lengyuan was dead, so I thought you and him died together."

Behind them stood an evil spirit with a broken wave drum face, with facial features painted on the drum surface, and the mouth was split open to the bottom of the ears.

Seeing Xu Ruyan at this time, the two boudoir balls shook cracklingly, hitting the drum head (face), making a thumping sound.

"Aunt Leng." Xu Ruyan called out.

Gumian Xiesong shook his head, and Gumian turned his face backwards, revealing not the back of his head, but the face of a fox. To be precise, it is a mask of a fox with its eyes closed.

The two faces kept switching like this, which showed that she was extremely happy at the moment.

But there was still no sound of speaking.

"Where have you been all these years?" Xu Ruluan kept rubbing her younger sister's face, her eyes filled with tears.

"Sister, don't cry." Xu Ruyan sniffled:

"It's a long story, Yan'er will tell you slowly."

The three evil spirits sat in the cave like this. After Xu Ruyan finished telling her story, Xu Ruluan said in surprise:

"In order to kill Su Lengyuan, you recognized a human monk as your master? Became part of his magic weapon?"

Xu Ruyan quickly explained:

"In the beginning it did."

"But Yan'er later found out that this master was different, and Yan'er couldn't say why, but it was indeed very different. Although Yan'er was just an evil creature in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the master, Yan'er lived out a human feeling. "

Xu Ruluan looked at her younger sister, she thought it was her younger sister who was comforting her.

Sadness came from it for a while.

Unexpectedly, she had hurt her younger sister during her lifetime, and after her death, her younger sister had to submit to other monks in order to avenge herself.

How can a human monk be kind to evil spirits?

The two have always been at odds.

At most, it is just a tool for becoming a human monk.

"Sister, Yan'er knew what you were thinking. Yan'er was the same at the beginning. She felt unwilling. Who would be willing to become someone else's weapon? Yan'er didn't want to either. But then Yan'er figured it out. Sister, you and I are wronged What's the reason for not leaving?" Xu Ruyan didn't want her sister to worry about her.

"The reason is to kill that bastard Su Lengyuan with his own hands." Xu Ruluan's voice became colder.

"Sister, Yan'er did it." Xu Ruyan said softly.

Elder sister Xu Ruluan choked for a while.

The logic seems to be like this.

Back then, when Xu Ruyan's obsession remained and she formed an evil spirit, she worked hard to collect Xu Ruluan's remnant souls and gathered them together, forming an evil spirit as well.

But because there are too few remnant souls, and when Xu Ruluan died, he regretted that he was blind, instead of pointing all the blame at Su Lengyuan like Xu Ruyan.

So Xu Ruluan is not strong in obsession.

It is precisely because of this that even now, Xu Ruluan's strength is only at the first level, and he can only fight against monks in the Qi training period.

Therefore, she and her sister have been helpless against Su Lengyuan for many years.

From this point of view, Chen Ping did help them accomplish their only goal as evil spirits.

"But." Xu Ruluan moved his mouth.

"Sister" Xu Ruyan interrupted her sister, and continued:

"You and I are obsessed with it. As remnants of souls, why are you and I still remaining in this world?"

"This..." Xu Ruluan was at a loss for words for a while.

Obsession is over

for what?

Maybe it's the resentment towards the world?

The moment they become evil spirits, it means that they have lost the chance of normal reincarnation. In the future, after they dissipate as evil beings, they will truly disappear in this world.

Seeing that her sister couldn't answer, Xu Ruyan said softly:

"Yan'er knows."

"For the reluctance to this world."

"Sister, from the moment you become Xie Chong, it means that your soul and mine have not entered the normal reincarnation. And Xie Chong itself is not tolerated by the law of heaven. It is not easy to regain the opportunity of reincarnation? With the elder sister and Yan'er's own It is impossible to obtain such an opportunity.”

"But the master can."

"Yan'er has stayed with the master for many years. Yan'er's intuition tells Yan'er that if the master really meets the opportunity to send Yan'er into reincarnation in the future, the master may be willing to do so. The master is really different from other monks. .”

After Xu Ruyan finished speaking, she looked at her sister who hadn't spoken for a while, and Aunt Leng who had been speechless, and said softly:

"This time Yan'er came here privately, and I also wanted to ask my sister and aunt if they would like to go with Yan'er to the master's place. If so, Yan'er will ask the master, and the master may agree."

"Yan'er once mentioned in front of the master that there was a powerful third-order evil spirit. The master was mainly worried about the danger, so he didn't want to come."

"I mentioned it once?" Xu Ruluan was a little nervous.

"Yes." Xu Ruyan nodded.

Xu Ruluan looked at Aunt Leng, whose face was constantly changing, and said softly:

"You also know that your Aunt Leng is quite special. She only has the strength of the third level here. When she comes out of this cave, she has the same level of strength as me. Your master may not like us."

Xu Ruyan opened her mouth.

She was actually a little guilty.

In front of Chen Ping, it was said that there was a third-order evil creature, but in fact it had limitations. As for the first-order evil, in her opinion, Chen Ping might not really like it. You must know that considering Chen Ping's strength, it is not too easy to catch a few first-order evil spirits.

She looked at Aunt Leng, then at the dark line on the side of the cave, and asked:

"During these years, Aunt Leng still failed to find the reason?"

Xu Ruluan shook his head:

"You also know that your Aunt Leng came out of the dark lines, but where does the end of the dark lines link to? No one knows. In the past few years, your Aunt Leng and I have been trying to explore along the dark lines, but There is really no end, and neither you nor I can do anything with our strength."

Xu Ruyan nodded, and looked back at the dark pattern.

Looking at his sister, he said:

"Sister, Yan'er came out this time to carry out the mission of the master, so it is inconvenient to stay longer. After this mission is over, why don't sister and Yan'er go to meet the master together?"

Xu Ruluan met her younger sister's eyes.

She hesitated, stood up and took a few steps:

"Let's talk about it. You let my sister think about it. If my sister wants to open it at that time, I will leave a message for you outside Ling Xiaozong."

"Alright." Xu Ruyan hummed.

Finally reminded:

"Sister, you must be careful when you go to Ling Xiaozong. The master is very powerful, and there are seven other monks who are as powerful as the master. You must never meet these monks."

Xu Ruluan froze for a moment.

She just learned from her younger sister that Chen Ping is a Golden Core cultivator, but she never thought that there are so many Golden Core cultivators in Ling Xiaozong?

"I know, you should be careful too."

"."

Coming out of the cave at the battle site, Xu Ruyan headed southwest all the way, and appeared on the outskirts of Dragon Searching Sect before dawn.

I was quite emotional for a while.

Many years ago, she had been here countless times, and she knew everything about the surrounding situation of Dragon-seeking Sect.

Back then, he came here just to plot against a foundation cultivator, but he didn't get what he asked for.

A few times, I almost let myself be out of my wits.

But now that he came back again, he was already at the third level, and the person who needed to calculate was a real person at the seventh level of Golden Core.

This was unthinkable before.

Because the cultivator who wanted to plot was too powerful, she kept Chen Ping's words in mind and did not show up the whole time. She just hid in the forest outside Xiuxian City and waited for Gong Zhiyuan's appearance.

What she didn't expect was that the wait would last for several months.
