There was a loud noise behind him, and violent power surged in all directions.
Liang Yan, Wuxin and Yang Jianying escaped from the palace almost at the same time. They saw a thin woman wearing a blue dress standing outside. She was the genius chosen by the ghost-hand scholar, the "Ghost Princess" from Fengdu City!
The woman glanced at the crowd, then suddenly raised her hand and waved, causing a ghost lamp to float into the air.
After a while, a pale yellow glow shot out from the lamp, and a circular passage appeared on the nearest wall.
"Come with me!"
Gui Ji didn't say any more nonsense, turned around, and walked into the space passage on the wall first.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little surprised.
You must know that this is the fourth floor of the Thousand Magic Tower, and there are special restrictions on the walls of the maze. Before this, Liang Yan, Wu Xin, and Yang Jianying all tried various methods to cross the wall, but unfortunately no one succeeded.
But the "ghost girl" in front of me actually did it.
Wu Xin hesitated a little and glanced at Liang Yan, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
At this moment, the ice palace behind him had collapsed, and the black tide of the "Lightless Sutra" was also spreading out. A powerful aura was looming in the shadows. It was obvious that Luo Qing did not intend to let them go.
Liang Yan made a decision quickly.
The strength of the three of them is not enough to be an enemy of Luo Qing. The only way out now is to believe in Zhao Xunzhen.
"Walk!"
Following his command, the three of them entered the space passage on the wall at the same time. The next moment, the ghost lights went out and the passage on the wall quickly disappeared.
The black tide of the "Lightless Sutra" surged in, but it was a step too late. At this time, the space passage had been closed, and no one could be seen anymore.
Having lost the goal, the dark tide in the sky gradually subsided.
After a while, the black light began to shrink inward, as if a bottomless black hole appeared in the middle, absorbing all the black light.
In the middle of the black hole stood a feminine-looking man.
This person is Situ Ren from the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce, and Luo Qing, who is also one of the top ten geniuses.
His face was a little pale, but the aura in his body was full of energy, and he looked very strange.
At this moment, Situ Ren's eyes were staring at the place where everyone disappeared, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Unexpectedly, he did not chase after everyone, but raised his hand to cast a spell, his figure gradually disappeared, and finally disappeared completely among the ruins of the palace.
Thousand Machine Demonic Tower, fourth floor, prison of beasts.
A light yellow halo suddenly appeared on the wall of a certain passage.
This halo of light came without any warning and quickly expanded on the wall. In just a moment, it was already the size of a door panel.
The next moment, a figure jumped out of the halo.
This person is wearing a blue outfit and has a slender figure. He is none other than "Ghost Princess" Zhao Xunzhen!
After she came out, people jumped out of the wall one after another.
Liang Yan, Wu Xin, and Yang Jianying came out of the space passage one after another. The first thing they did when they landed on the ground was to use their spiritual consciousness to look around to see if Luo Qing was chasing after them.
Fortunately, after a moment of observation, they found that Luo Qing was not following, and everyone felt a little relieved.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Gui Ji."
Yang Jianying survived the disaster and was sincerely grateful to Gui Ji.
After Zhao Xunzhen heard this, he just nodded slightly and stood alone in the corner with no intention of speaking.
In contrast, Liang Yan's expression was more complicated.
When he was in Nanchui, he and Zhao Xunzhen made a master-servant contract. Later, the two of them worked together to defeat Yun Xuzi, and Liang Yan let the girl go.
Today, that contract has long since ceased to exist. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xunzhen still came to rescue him.
“Thank you very much”
After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan finally spoke.
Facing Liang Yan, Gui Ji's expression was not so calm. Her lips moved. She seemed to have a lot to say, but she couldn't speak in front of so many people. In the end, she just sighed quietly.
"Hmph, one Tang Diexian is not enough. How did you get into this romantic debt?"
Wuxin's voice suddenly sounded in Liang Yan's heart, sounding a little jealous.
After all, a witch is a witch, and her observation is meticulous. Oni Ji felt something with just a glance.
Liang Yan knew that he had misunderstood unintentionally, so he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Back then, before I broke through the foundation building stage, I worked with this woman once, but that was more than two hundred years ago.
Thinking that the wind and water would turn around, she would actually save me this time."
"Have we worked together once? Let me tell you that the way that little girl looks at you is wrong. Tsk tsk, this appearance and figure really make me pity you. It seems you like this?" Wu Xin said with a half-smile.
Liang Yan knew that Wu Xin was teasing him on purpose, so he could only cough awkwardly and did not continue.
Everyone fell into silence. After a while, they heard Zhao Xunzhen say quietly: "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank Liang Yan, just thank Liang Yan. He once saved my life. Today I am here to repay my kindness."
"It seems that my sister is also a kind-hearted person. She knows how to repay kindness and is happy to repay kindness. Anyway, you saved my life and my husband's life. Sister, I am polite here."
Before Liang Yan could speak, Wu Xin spoke first.
She had a calm demeanor, bowed gracefully, and looked elegant, without any fault. She even admitted that Liang Yan was her husband in front of several people, and her expression did not change at all.
On the contrary, Liang Yan's face turned red.
You must know that Wuxin is still Hu Chenyu now, and he did not expect to admit their relationship in front of Yang Jianying and Zhao Xunzhen.
However, Liang Yan did not give any explanation, so he accepted Wu Xin's statement by default.
Zhao Xunzhen's face turned slightly gloomy when he saw this scene.
In the eyes she looked at Wu Xin, there was a ray of murderous intent that was deeply hidden, but this ray of murderous intent only flashed past, and returned to normal the next moment.
"You and I are not familiar with each other, we can't be considered sisters, and I save you just for Liang Yan's sake." Zhao Xunzhen snorted coldly and turned his face away, as if he didn't want to talk to Wu Xin too much.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the scene was a little delicate, Yang Jianying coughed lightly and suddenly said: "Brother Liang, you directed us to escape in the palace just now. You seem to have some understanding of the "August Sutra". Could it be that you were once in Yongye City?
Have you stayed?”
"I have never been to Yongye City, but I once met an expert. Now it seems that he has some connection with Yongye City."
Regarding the "Wuxian Sword Classic", Liang Yan had promised Ning Bugui that he would never reveal any information about him, so he was vague about Yang Jianying's question and did not give a detailed explanation.
"I see."
Yang Jianying was also very knowledgeable. He knew that it was a secret matter and it would be rude to continue to ask questions, so he did not dwell too much on this issue.
"I didn't expect that this Luo Qing's strength is so high. Even if all of us here put together, I'm afraid we won't be his opponent!" Recalling the battle just now, Yang Jianying's face became a little gloomy again.
"This Luo Qing. I have met him before. At that time, his name was Situ Ren."
Liang Yan did not hide anything and told everything about his encounter with Situ Ren.
"This is happening!"
After listening to his words, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly. Among them, Yang Jianying frowned and said: "Nine Palaces Chamber of Commerce. I seem to have heard of this chamber of commerce. It should be a newly rising force. It is said that their president is very mysterious, and often Shenlong
I haven’t seen the beginning yet the end. I didn’t expect that we would meet you here today!”
"I'm a little surprised too." Liang Yan said in deep thought: "As far as I know, this Situ Ren is obviously a monk in the realm of transformation, not to mention how he managed to hide it from the ghost-hand scholar and be selected into the top ten geniuses.
The restrictions in this Thousand Machines Demonic Tower prevent even the Ghost-Handed Scholar himself from entering, so why can he do it?"
When this question was asked, everyone present fell silent.
Obviously this is also a doubt in their minds, and they haven't figured it out yet.
The restrictions in the Thousand-Ji Demon Tower are very powerful, and geniuses like them all know it very well. Unless they have become saints, it is impossible to deceive these restrictions.
But if you have become a saint, why bother to play this trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Wouldn't it be more direct to kill everyone present including the ghost-hand scholar the moment the Thousand Machines Magic Tower appeared?
Just when everyone was silent, Liang Yan suddenly spoke again: "Do you think that the ancient book he carried with him is a bit strange? If my guess is correct, the reason why this person was able to sneak into the Thousand Machine Demonic Tower is
It’s that ancient book that I rely on.”
"Ancient book?"
After Liang Yan's reminder, Wu Xin and Yang Jianying both nodded slightly: "That's right. In fact, his own cultivation realm is undoubtedly at the peak of Tongxuan. The reason why he can use powerful spells from various sects is because of his hands.
That ancient book. If you think so, maybe he was able to sneak into the Thousand Machine Demonic Tower because of this magic weapon."
"No matter what, this person's strength is unfathomable. Even if we join forces, we can't defeat him. Only by avoiding this person can we have a way to survive." Yang Jianying slowly expressed her opinion.
Liang Yan was noncommittal about his views.
In fact, he had already developed a slight interest in the "Lightless Sutra" in his heart.
But looking at Situ Ren's appearance, it seemed that he only had a partial understanding of this technique, or that he could only use one of the magical powers in the "Lightless Sutra", which made Liang Yan feel a little disappointed.
After a moment of silence, Liang Yan looked at Zhao Xunzhen again.
"Let's put Situ Ren's affairs aside for the time being. Let's talk about our ultimate goal first. If I guess the reincarnation fruit is right, the purpose of the ghost-hand scholar is not simple. Fellow Daoist Gui Ji, you are from Fengdu City and you are also a ghost.
I’m one of the top ten geniuses who’s hand-picked by the calligrapher. Don’t you have anything you want to say to us?”
Facing Zhao Xunzhen again, Liang Yan's eyes became sharp.
"What do you want to know?"
Zhao Xunzhen's expression did not change at all and he spoke very calmly.
"For example, 'Heavenly Jealousy', this is the first time we have heard this term. Is it true? And the 'Reborn Pond' in Fengdu City, does it really exist?" Liang Yan said what he was most concerned about.
question.
Facing his question, Zhao Xunzhen did not hesitate at all, nodded and said:
"'Tianjealousy' is real and so is 'Rebirth Pond'."
After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, they heard Zhao Xunzhen speak again:
"Although both of these are true, it is false that the 'Shedding Pond' can break 'Heavenly Jealousy'!"
"Fake?!"
Yang Jianying raised his eyebrows. Although he himself had some doubts on the way, he was still surprised to hear Gui Ji admit it in person.
"You mean that Scholar Ghost Hands deceived us? This trip to the Thousand Machines Demonic Tower was actually a trap?" Yang Jianying said, while taking two steps back, a look of caution appeared in his eyes.
"Hmph, you should know that completely false lies are not deceptive at all. Lies that are truly indistinguishable are 70% true and 30% false!"
Gui Ji snorted coldly and continued: "The top ten geniuses are not ordinary people. They are the best among their peers in terms of strength and intelligence. The ghost-hand scholar naturally knows this. In order to achieve his own purpose, he carefully weaved this story
The trap is to predict your desire for the great road."
"'Heaven's Jealousy' does exist, and the ghost-hand scholar dare not compile it at will. Because you are all geniuses from the top forces. Even if you don't know much about the way of reincarnation, there must be some ancient records in the city. Although these records
It's not comprehensive enough, but as long as Scholar Ghost Hands says something wrong, you will be able to find the flaw immediately with your intelligence and knowledge. Therefore, he did not hide anything about the 'Heavenly Jealousy' thing."
"As for the 'Rebirth Pond' he mentioned, it is indeed the same resource of Fengdu City. Someone has entered Fengdu City before and enjoyed the 'Rebirth Pond'. Some of you who are knowledgeable have also heard of this rumor. Only
However, the 'Rebirth Pond' has nothing to do with cracking the 'Heavenly Jealousy'. Two real things put together may not be true. The ghost-hand scholar set up this game and succeeded because he took advantage of your arrogance and greed!"
Zhao Xunzhen said this in one breath, and everyone present looked surprised.
What surprised them was not only the content of Zhao Xun's truth, but also the identity of this woman.
You must know that this "Ghost Girl" was brought by Scholar Guishou himself. If she says this now, it is tantamount to betraying Guishou.
"Hmph! I know what you are thinking."
Zhao Xunzhen snorted coldly, as if he could see what everyone was thinking, and said calmly: "To be honest, my mission this time is to deal with you, but I didn't expect that Liang Yan was also among these ten people."
Having said this, Zhao Xunzhen's eyes flashed with a complex look, he looked at Liang Yan, was silent for a while, and then whispered:
"Liang Yan, the kindness I owed you back then has been kept in my heart all these years, so I will never take action against you under any circumstances! If you still have any questions, feel free to ask them again."
