Seeking Immortality

Just before Xu Qingfan pointed his finger, a frightened and angry old woman's voice suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.

"You dare me boy!!"

This voice contained extremely powerful spiritual energy. Although it sounded gentle to others, in Xu Qingfan's ears, it was no less than a flat thunder. It shocked Xu Qingfan's insides, but that finger could no longer touch it no matter what. Go down.

Just with a slight drink, the power is so powerful. Who did it come from?

Holding back the blood in his chest, Xu Qingfan was horrified. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that a huge auspicious cloud was carrying a group of immortal cultivators flying towards them. The surrounding fairy glow was shining. It seemed slow, but But in the blink of an eye he was in front of everyone.

Jin Qinghan, Lu Qingshang, Gong Qingya and others also looked in the same direction when the sound sounded, their eyes full of surprise, but the difference was that Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang were only surprised, while Gong Qingya and other three "* The disciples of "Gong" were not only surprised, but also full of surprises.

After the auspicious cloud landed, the faces of everyone on the cloud finally appeared in front of Xu Qingfan and others.

The group of cultivators who appeared in front of everyone had different temperaments, but they all had a superior demeanor and master's demeanor. The spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies were obscure but powerful. It was obvious that they all had at least the cultivation level of the pill formation stage.

And these monks are the heads and elders of various sects who have just arrived from Zhantai.

The old woman who was glaring at Xu Qingfan was none other than Li Tianying, the owner of the "* Palace". The soft shout just now was obviously made by her.

Behind her, Master Xuhuan, the abbot of "Chanyun Temple", Qing Lingzi, the head of "Qingxu Sect", Xuan Jianzun, the representative of Kuxiu Valley, Zeng Lianxian, the leader of the Five Elements Sect, and Jiu Ze, the head of the * Sect The Taoist, Man Tian, ​​the master of the Bahuang Palace, and some heads of sects who are usually very famous in the world of immortality are all among them.

But these masters, who usually have a calm face, now have serious expressions on their faces. Even many of the heads and elders could not stop showing sadness in their eyes.

Zhang Hualing, the head of the Jiuhua Sect, Zhou Huahai, the Supreme Protector, and others were also among them. They frowned as they looked at Li Tianying and Xu Qingfan who were looking at each other.

Behind the leaders of each faction are the guardian elders of each faction. As well as disciples of the five sects including Hua Xian, Monk Xijun, and Deng Tianda. Apparently before the heads and elders of each sect came here, they had already found disciples from the other five sects.

As for the changes on Huandao and the news of the death or disappearance of disciples of many sects, the heads and guardians of each sect have probably already been informed. No wonder their expressions are so solemn.

Looking at the elders and disciples of various sects who were watching him, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly in his heart. Knowing that this would make it harder for me to explain.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, and a stream of blood instantly rose to his throat. Xu Qingfan knew that he had obviously suffered serious internal injuries when he heard the soft drink just now. But he didn't expect that this Li Tianying was not good in appearance, but his strength was so profound. Just a slight drink could be so powerful.

It's just that Xu Qingfan didn't want to lose face of Jiuhuamen in front of the various factions, so he swallowed the blood that had already poured into his mouth.

After adjusting his inner energy slightly, Xu Qingfan guided his fingers, and the two "blood-sucking poison ivy" entangled with the disciples of the "* Palace" were retracted into the ground. Then he bowed to the many elders in front of him and said: "Jiuhuamen Xu Qingfan, I have met all the teachers."

After Xu Qingfan's reminder, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang behind them also reacted and hurriedly bowed to the leaders and protectors of each sect.

After Gong Qingya dismissed the "Icy Coming to the World" in the exclamation eyes of the other sect leaders and guardians, she also led her two junior sisters to salute the elders of each sect, but when she looked at Li Tianying, her eyes were full of pain. .

Only Feng Qingtian was still lying far away without any reaction. After the cold air receded, the flames surrounding him returned to their previous calmness. It was obvious that although the mutation that had happened to him was nearing its end, it was not over yet.

And these elders from various factions have just arrived. When he looked in the direction of Feng Qingtian, his eyes were also full of doubts. It was obvious that he still couldn't figure out what happened to Feng Qingtian's body. Many of them were detected with spiritual consciousness, but nothing was found. Looking at Xu Qingfan as if nothing had happened, Li Tianying, who had just seen Xu Qingfan trying to "act murder" on his disciple, looked at Xu Qingfan with an increasingly cold look. He suddenly snorted coldly and waved his right hand towards Xu Qingfan. A violent cold air suddenly rushed toward Xu Qingfan.

The power of this cold air was overwhelming, making people feel that there was no way to hide, and the temperature between heaven and earth also dropped sharply the moment she took action. With her low skill, it felt like she was in a world of ice and snow for a while.

Seeing the cold air rushing towards him, Xu Qingfan just wanted to rely on his speed to avoid it. But there was a sharp pain in my chest. It was obvious that he had suffered internal injuries while running his spiritual energy, and the cold air was about to attack him. But Zhang Hualing's soft voice suddenly sounded: "Please show mercy to fellow Taoist Li."

As he spoke, Zhang Hualing waved his right hand slightly like Li Tianying. It's just that when he took action, he didn't have the same power as Li Tianying. Instead, he made no sound. But the moment after he waved his hand, the cold air that had rushed in front of Xu Qingfan suddenly disappeared, leaving Xu Qingfan, who was ready to take a hard blow, filled with disbelief.

Seeing that Zhang Hualing had so easily disintegrated her offensive, Li Tianying looked at Zhang Hualing with a hint of fear. She had never expected that Zhang Hualing, who had always been low-key, would have such strong skills. She had not even noticed what kind of Taoist method Zhang Hualing used to dissolve her attack.

Although she was afraid, Li Tianying still shouted at Zhang Hualing: "Zhang Hualing, your disciples want to hurt my juniors, can't I teach them a lesson?"

Zhang Hualing looked at Li Tianying, whose face was full of anger, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but his tone was still as calm as ever, and he said lightly: "Daoyou Li, please be patient, we don't have to get involved in the fight between the juniors. Besides, it is still unclear who is right and who is wrong between them, and it would be unfair to punish them rashly."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Li Tianying became even more angry. Staring at Zhang Hualing, he said, "Do you mean that my disciple was at fault first?"

Seeing Li Tianying like this, not only Zhang Hualing, but also the heads and guardians of other sects and even the disciples of each sect, looked at Li Tianying with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Among them, the heads of the eight sects with the highest skills looked at Li Tianying with a hint of worry or gloating. It seemed that they had thought of the reason.

You know, the "Ice Cold Art" of the "Gong" emphasizes a calm mind like water. The more you practice, the calmer your mind becomes. With Li Tianying's cultivation, he really shouldn't easily show such an irritable mood.

In fact, when everyone was on the stage, they had already noticed Li Tianying's abnormality, but Li Tianying's expression was particularly obvious at this time.

Zhang Hualing smiled slightly and said, "I didn't say that. It's just that it's better to ask who is right and who is wrong."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Li Tianying snorted coldly, looked up at the sky and asked, "How long will fellow Taoists from Kuxiu Valley wait for the excitement before they are willing to come down and talk it out?"

Hearing Li Tianying's words, Xu Qingfan and other disciples from various sects were slightly stunned. They didn't expect that there were hidden cultivators in the sky, and they couldn't help but look up at the sky.

In the sky, several Kuxiu Valley cultivators who had been secretly following Xu Qingfan and others smiled bitterly at each other, knowing that because they had not stopped Xu Qingfan from defeating the * Palace disciples just now. Li Tianying had already hated him and others.

In fact, with the cultivation of the Kuxiu Valley cultivators, it only took a thought to stop Xu Qingfan from taking action. The reason why they didn't take action just now was, first, because they were fully confident that they could rescue him at the moment of casualties, and second, they wanted to observe whether Xu Qingfan and others were the culprits of the changes in Huandao, so they deliberately hid their bodies.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh." After hearing Li Tianying's words, a Kuxiu Valley monk appeared in front of the monks with other monks, bowed slightly to everyone, and said in a gentle voice.

And everyone present also hurriedly bowed to the Kuxiu Valley monks in return. It was just that the heads and guardian elders of other sects outside the eight major sects. Although they also bowed reluctantly to the Kuxiu Valley monks at this time, their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and eagerness.

After the ceremony, some impatient heads and elders of these sects had already asked: "Dear Kuxiu Valley Taoists, do you know where my disciples are now? I heard from the disciples of the six major holy places and the * sect's Eight Desolate Hall that they are all missing, and there are some casualties. Is this true?"

Hearing the questions of these heads and guardians, the Kuxiu Valley monks all showed a trace of shame on their faces. Just when he was about to explain something, Li Tianying shouted, "Things need to be solved one by one. Let's solve this case first before we talk about your disciple's disappearance!!"

The tone was sharp and unquestionable.

After hearing Li Tianying's unreasonable words, the cultivators of other sects except the eight major sects showed dissatisfaction on their faces. However, intimidated by the reputation of the six holy places, most of them said nothing. And a few cultivators with hot tempers just wanted to talk back. But they found that some of the cultivators with high cultivation, including the heads of the eight major sects, made eye contact with them, and they gave in with doubts in their hearts.

After stopping the questioning of the other sects' cultivators, Li Tianying asked the Kuxiu Valley cultivator: "Fellow Daoist Xuanxuan, you have been guarding in secret just now. Can you tell us why they are fighting?"

"Fellow Daoists, I have just sent out a summons to fellow Daoists Xuanxian and others. I think they will arrive soon. It is difficult to explain the matter of your sect's disciples at the moment, and fellow Daoist Xuanxian knows more about this matter. Please wait for a while. I will explain to you after fellow Daoist Xuanxian arrives."

Xuanxuan first explained to the sect leaders and guardians who had questioned him just now, and then Then he turned to Li Tianying and said, "The fight just now happened because the three female Taoist friends from the * Palace attacked the three Taoist friends from Jiuhua Mountain first, so the three Taoist friends from Jiuhua Mountain defended and fought back. Among them, this Taoist friend Xu Qingfan has a mysterious way of Taoism and was the first to subdue two of the female Taoist friends, and then the Taoist friends came."

"What?!" Li Tianying was surprised to hear Xuanxuan's words, because in her impression, Gong Qingya and others were not people who took the initiative to cause trouble, but she knew that the monks from Kuxiu Valley never lied, so when she turned around and looked at Gong Qingya and the other three, her eyes were already unfriendly.

Seeing the unfriendly look in her master's eyes. Gong Qingya hurriedly explained, "The thieves from Jiuhua Mountain killed Junior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Li, and wanted to ambush us. We took action to avenge the two junior sisters."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Gong Qingya's words. They only knew that the newcomer competition had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, but there were very few deaths of cultivators.

Li Tianying's body trembled slightly. He asked in disbelief: "Jing'er and Qian'er are dead?"

A girl beside Gong Qingya nodded angrily, pointed at Xu Qingfan and others and said: "They were killed by the people from Jiuhua Mountain. They wanted us to give them the captured seven-color deer, but Sister Gong disagreed, and then they started fighting. Later, they killed Sister Chen and Sister Li, and we killed one of them. And seriously injured the other one."

After hearing the words of the two disciples of the * Palace, Lu Qingshang couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Don't slander us, when did we kill your sister?"

Jin Qinghan said coldly: "Are you blaming us back?"

Xu Qingfan frowned and said: "Several sisters from the * Palace, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us, I can To ensure that we have only met once at the destroyed teleportation array after arriving at Huandao, if you insist on saying so, please show evidence. "

Li Tianying seemed to trust his disciples very much. When he looked at Xu Qingfan and others, his eyes were full of resentment. He sneered and said, "Evidence? You probably don't know? These monks from the Kuxiu Valley have been following you secretly. Your every move is under their observation. "

Hearing Li Tianying's words, all the disciples who participated in the newcomer competition were shocked. They didn't expect that their whereabouts in the past few days were actually under the surveillance of the monks from the Kuxiu Valley, and they didn't even notice it. This made the disciples of all sects, who have always been extremely proud, feel a little ashamed.

And some of the disciples of all sects were thinking closely, such as Xu Qingfan, Hua Xian, Xijun monk, Deng Tianai and others, who thought of a deeper level. Since the disciples of all sects were secretly guarded by the monks from the Kuxiu Valley, why did more disciples die, were injured or disappeared? It seems that the strange scenes on Huandao Island are not as simple as imagined.

Li Tianying didn't care about the thoughts of the disciples of various sects, but turned to the monks of the Kuxiu Valley who had just appeared and asked: "Dear fellow Kuxiu Valley Taoists. My two disciples were killed by the disciples of Jiuhua Sect?"

Hearing Li Tianying's words, the faces of the monks of Kuxiu Valley showed embarrassment, shame and worry. For a while, no monk answered Li Tianying's question.

After a long time, Xuanxuan bowed to Li Tianying and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, please forgive me. We don't know."

"What? You don't know? Don't you have someone to secretly protect the disciples of various sects? Who is secretly protecting the disciples of the * Palace and Jiuhua Mountain? Don't they have eyes?" Li Tianying raised his eyebrows and questioned after hearing Xuanxuan's words.

This was already quite impolite. It even humiliated the entire Kuxiu Valley monks. Although some cultivators in the Kuxiu Valley have always been quiet and inactive, they couldn't help showing shame and anger after hearing her words. They wanted to come out and question her, but were stopped by Xuan Jian's eyes.

However, Xuan Xuan had a good heart and didn't get angry at all after hearing Li Tianying's words. Instead, he said slowly: "The Taoist friends who guarded the Jiuhua Gate and the * Palace sects are not us. If we were to guard, we would definitely not let the disciples of each sect suffer casualties."

"Who is responsible for the * Palace and Jiuhua Gate?" Li Tianying asked again.

"It's Taoist friend Xuan Xiu and Taoist friend Xuan Ku." Xuan Xuan replied.

"What about them?"

After Xuan Xuan and other cultivators in the Kuxiu Valley heard Li Tianying's words. After showing worry on their faces, they were silent for a while before saying, "Last night, we sent out a talisman to them, but there was no response. This night, Xuanxian Daoist Fellows and others searched the entire Huandao Island, but there was no trace of them. They were missing."

"What?"

After hearing Xuanxuan's words, everyone present asked back in unison, their voices full of disbelief.

You know, the death and disappearance of dozens of Lingji disciples and the disappearance of two Jindan cultivators are completely different concepts. How many Lingji cultivators are there in the entire cultivation world? And how many Jindan cultivators are there?

From Lingji to Xudan, it is a very difficult barrier to break through. Often only one out of twenty Lingji cultivators can break through to Xudan, not to mention the later Shidan and Jindan stages.

When Mahayana cultivators are in seclusion to seek the mystery of immortality, Jindan cultivators are in some cases a symbol of invincibility. They have endless spiritual energy and their own unique Taoism. Even if they are defeated by the enemy, they can still escape. To kill them, at least three cultivators of the same level must attack at the same time to have a chance.

What's more, Xuan Xiu is a very famous cultivator in the entire cultivation world. He has reached the Jindan stage a hundred years ago. It is extremely difficult to make him disappear silently.

Could it be that a cultivator of the Mahayana stage has taken action?

Although they had expected the situation on Huandao to be strange, the leaders and guardians of various sects did not expect it to reach such a point. Even the cultivators of the Jiedan stage disappeared, and one of them was a cultivator of the Jindan stage! !

Xuan Jianzun and several Kuxiu Valley monks who came with him were not only surprised, but also worried. They had discussed Dao with Xuan Xiu and Xuan Ku for hundreds of years. When they thought that something might happen to them, they could no longer remain calm. Instead, they looked at Xuan Xuan and other Kuxiu Valley monks anxiously and asked, "Did fellow Daoists Xuan Xiu and Xuan Ku disappear? Did you notice anything unusual before? Is there any news from fellow Daoist Xuan Xian?"

Hearing the questions from Xuan Jian and others, Xuan Xuan and others just shook their heads sadly.

The elders of the other sects were still in shock at this time, and forgot to ask questions for a while. They were thinking deeply and had already determined that the catastrophe of the cultivation world that would occur once in 2,800 years might have begun, so they had already started to plan for their own sects.

Zhang Hualing, the head of Jiuhua Sect, seemed to have thought of something, and his face began to become solemn, while Zhou Huahai and Bao Qingfang behind him had fluctuating eyes.

In this silence. Gong Qingya suddenly spoke up and said to Li Tianying: "Master, I have evidence that the people of Jiuhua Sect killed the two junior sisters."

Hearing Gong Qingya's words, the eyes of all the cultivators in the audience were all focused on Gong Qingya, but Li Tianying asked: "What evidence, take it out quickly."

Gong Qingya nodded slightly to a junior sister next to her, and then snorted at Xu Qingfan and others. Then, the woman next to her waved her long sleeves. A male corpse fell to the ground.

"Ah!"

"It's Wang Qingjun!!"

"Senior Brother Wang!!"

After the corpse appeared in front of everyone, exclamations rang out one after another, from the elders of Jiuhuamen and Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan, and Lu Qingshang.

This male corpse was Wang Qingjun, one of the representatives of Jiuhuamen who participated in the newcomer competition and who had traveled with Xu Qingfan before! !

"When we fought with the people of Jiuhuamen before, although two junior sisters were killed by them. We also let them die and injure one, and this is the body of the dead man." As he said. Gong Qingya faced Xu Qingfan and asked: "Is this someone from your Jiuhuamen? Do you dare to deny it?"

"Impossible!! Junior Brother Wang had been blown to pieces by an unknown cultivator who performed the Explosion Spirit Technique. We only collected a piece of his broken arm." Lu Qingshang looked at Wang Qingjun's body and said in disbelief. As he said, he also held up Wang Qingjun's broken arm to deepen the persuasiveness of his words.

"Is there any evidence?" Gong Qingya asked, imitating Xu Qingfan's way.

But Xu Qingfan did not participate in the debate, but carefully observed the body of Wang Qingjun in front of him.

Wang Qingjun had been blown to death. Although Xu Qingfan did not see it with his own eyes, it was basically impossible for Wang Qingjun to survive the horrific explosion. Moreover, the broken arm found by Xu Qingfan and others later was indeed Wang Qingjun's.

Whose body was this? This body was intact, so it could not be Wang Qingjun's other parts except the broken arm. And there was no sign of tampering. In fact, it was impossible to tamper with it in front of so many Jindan stage cultivators without being discovered.

So what was going on?

For a moment, Xu Qingfan's heart was full of doubts.

At this moment, Zhang Hualing slowly said, "Regardless of whether Lu Qingshang's statement that Wang Qingjun had been blown to pieces is true or not, a corpse alone cannot prove that my Jiuhua Sect's disciples had attacked you."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Gong Qingya and Li Tianying, who was about to make trouble, were speechless again.

At this moment, a mighty voice rang out between heaven and earth.

"Fellow Daoists, I'm late, please forgive me."

As the voice rang out, more than a dozen Kuxiu Valley monks driving auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and when the voice fell, these monks had already appeared in front of everyone, and they were Xuanxian and other Kuxiu Valley monks.

What's strange is that after these Kuxiu Valley monks appeared in front of everyone, they scattered and surrounded Jiuhua Sect from the head Zhang Hualing to the disciples Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan and others in the middle.
