Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Zhoucheng.

In the inn, Chu Chen's body shape kept changing, sometimes turning into a handsome scholar with a jade-like face, sometimes turning into a strong man with a rough face, or an old man with white hair.

"As expected of the golden elixir spell, it is exquisite."

Chu Chen couldn't help but praise.

He has experience in practicing the Hidden Qi Art. After practicing for three months, he has already mastered the Phantom Spirit Art.

But the more I practice, the more I feel that the Phantom Spirit Art is exquisite.

As long as he uses the Phantom Spirit Technique and changes his body's breath, even the monks in the middle stage of foundation building will not be able to see through his disguise.

"It's time to return to Canglanfang City."

Now that I have started learning the Phantom Spirit Art, it’s time to start.

…

Canglanfang City.

Compared with when Chu Chen left, there was not much change.

after all.

Less than two years have passed since he left Canglanfang City to find a place to break through the foundation building period.

The first thing Chu Chen did when he returned to Canglanfang City was to change his body shape and aura, and go to the trading area of ​​Canglanfang City to inquire about the prices of various talismans, magical weapons, and elixirs.

The price has fluctuated slightly, rising by about 20% from two years ago.

"Fellow Taoist, why is this Fireball Talisman so expensive?"

Chu Chen asked the monk setting up the stall, a middle-aged monk wearing gray robes.

"Fellow Taoist, don't you know?"

The gray-robed monk was slightly surprised.

"A few days ago, all the poor Taoists were in seclusion. What big things happened in Fangshi?"

Chu Chen said calmly.

"I see."

The gray-robed monk nodded and said with a smile: "No big things have happened in Fang City recently, but something big happened in Great Yan Kingdom?"

"Great Yan Kingdom?"

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, there is a country called Great Yan Country in the spiritually barren land separated from Hanbei Country by a Hengduan Mountain Range."

The gray-robed monk thought that Chu Chen didn't know about the existence of Great Yan Kingdom, so he explained:

"A year ago, a monk discovered traces of the Yin Corpse Sect monks in the Great Yan Kingdom. Master Lingyu secretly investigated and found traces of several Yin Corpse Sect foundation-building masters."

"Master Lingyu reported this matter to the Yunshui Sect. The top leaders of the Yunshui Sect were furious and sent Master Qingxu and several other Masters of Foundation Establishment to the Great Yan Kingdom to hunt down the Masters of Foundation Establishment of the Yin Corpse Sect."

"A monk from the Yin Corpse Sect appears in the Great Yan Kingdom?"

Chu Chen had a surprised look on his face, as if he was shocked by the news.

In fact, he was indeed surprised.

As early as more than ten years ago, the Yin Corpse Sect monks were searching extensively in Dayan.

It was not until a year ago that the traces of the Yin Corpse Sect monks were exposed, and Chu Chen had only one comment on this.

Outrageous.

In such a large Yunshui Sect, no one noticed the anomalies in the Great Yan Kingdom and other places.

"Someone is helping the Yin Corpse Sect monks cover their tracks."

Chu Chen's heart moved. There must be someone in the Yunshui Sect covering up for the Yin Corpse Sect monks. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Yunshui Sect to discover traces of the Yin Corpse Sect until now.

After all, no matter how remote the Great Yan Kingdom is, it is still within the radiation range of the Yunshui Sect.

"Qiao Yan'er."

Chu Chen's eyes narrowed, and his intuition told him that this matter was related to Qiao Yan'er.

Qiao Yan'er guards Chiyanfang City, which is the closest to Dayan Kingdom. News from Dayan Kingdom came, and the first Yunshui Sect powerhouse to get the news was Qiao Yan'er.

If Qiao Yan'er wanted to conceal the news about the Yin Corpse Sect monks, it would be the easiest thing to do.

"Qiao Yan'er is related to the Yin Corpse Sect, but why did Qiao Yan'er report the news about the Yin Corpse Sect to the Yunshui Sect a year ago? Was it because she couldn't hide it, or did she have another secret?"

Chu Chen's thoughts whirled rapidly, connecting many pieces of information.

“I don’t know the purpose of sending people from the Yin Corpse Sect to the Great Yan Kingdom. Even if the Yunshui Sect sent several Foundation Establishment Masters to chase and kill them, no monks from the Yin Corpse Sect were seen leaving.

Affected by this, the prices of talismans, magical instruments and other items in the market will rise. "

The gray-robed monk sighed.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for informing me."

Chu Chen chatted with the gray-robed monk for a few words, bought a few fireball charms and left.

He did not return to Dan Pavilion, but went to Tiantong Jinzhuang to buy information about Dayan Kingdom.

The information from Tiantong Jinzhuang is not much different from what the gray-robed monk said, but it is more detailed. It records the reason why Qiao Yaner hid it before.

"Qiao Yan'er, are Qiao Dongliu cousins?"

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Although Qiao Yaner and Qiao Dongliu had the same surname, he did not connect them.

There are many people with the same surname in the world of immortality, and there are even many people with the same name and surname.

"Qiao Dongliu joined the Yin Corpse Sect, and with the help of the Yin Corpse Sect, he successfully broke through the foundation building stage and lurked in the Great Yan Kingdom with a group of Yin Corpse Sect monks."

One family, two real people.

This kind of thing was common in ancient times when the Qingzhou Immortal Cultivation World had abundant spiritual energy, but as the spiritual energy gradually declined, it became extremely rare.

"Qiao Dongliu came to the house in person and asked Qiao Yan'er to cover his tracks. Qiao Yan'er remembered her old relationship and agreed.

A year ago, Taoist Qingxu went to Dayan Kingdom for some reason and found traces of the Yin Corpse Sect monks, which exposed this matter. "

"Master Ganshui was so angry that he asked Qiao Yan'er to enter the Hanyuan secret realm and spend ten years thinking about it."

The Hanyuan Secret Realm is a secret realm controlled by Yunshui Sect. It is filled with the cold wind of the netherworld. The monks are in it and are baptized by the cold wind of the netherworld. The pain is unbearable.

Hanyuan Secret Realm has always been a place where the senior leaders of Yunshui Sect punish their disciples.

As for the external rumors that Qiao Yan'er took the initiative to report the traces of the Yin Corpse Sect monks, it was the Yunshui Sect that took Qiao Yan'er's face into consideration and kept it public.

"That makes sense."

Chu Chen nodded, and many of his doubts were explained.

And the reason for his biggest doubt before was also mentioned in the information from Tiantong Jinzhuang.

"The reason why Yinshi Sect went to great lengths to send its disciples to places like Dayan Kingdom was to search for the corpse of a demon king, and wanted to refine the corpse of the demon king into a corpse puppet."

Seeing this, Chu Chen was shocked.

"Dayan Kingdom, the corpse of the demon king, Tianfeng!"

An amazing guess came to his mind.

Chu Chen was 80% to 90% sure that the target of Yinshi Sect was the corpse of Tianfeng that might exist under Fengqi Mountain.

The territory of Dayan Kingdom was not too large, much smaller than that of Hanbei Kingdom, and it was impossible for two demon king corpses to exist at the same time. The corpse of Tianfeng that might exist under Fengqi Mountain should be the only possible demon king corpse in Dayan.

"The Yinshi Sect has been searching for more than ten years, but still hasn't found the corpse of the demon king?"

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows, the efficiency of Yinshi Sect was too low.

The rumors of Tian Feng were widely spread in several cities around Fengqi Mountain. The Yinshi Sect cultivators could not have failed to notice it. Logically, they should have discovered the abnormality of Fengqi Mountain long ago.

However, more than ten years later, the Yinshi Sect still failed to find the body of the demon king.

"Is there no so-called Tian Feng body in Fengqi Mountain?"

Chu Chen was puzzled, but the powerful aura he felt in Tianxi Temple would not be false.

Even now, he couldn't help but be afraid when he recalled the aura he felt at that time.

The owner of this aura was even more powerful than he is now.

"Wait, according to the rumors of Fengqi Mountain, Tian Feng existed tens of thousands of years ago."

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes and suddenly woke up: "Tens of thousands of years have passed. If Tian Feng fell, its body would have been rotten long ago in a place with poor spiritual energy. It is impossible to emit such a powerful aura."

"Tian Feng is not dead!"

His pupils shrank, as if a thunderbolt passed through his mind.
