Just when Wen Taishi was captured, the Scorpion Boy also fell into a hard fight.
Although his cultivation level is not as good as Grand Master Wen, the Demonic Scorpion Dharma Body is thick-skinned and famous for its strong defense.
At this moment, the black wind swept the Scorpion into it, and wisps of black air entered his body along his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. The Scorpion boy screamed again and again, making a cry like a baby.
"Senior, have mercy on me, senior, have mercy on me!"
The voice of the Scorpion Boy came from the giant scorpion, and he said mournfully: "All this was ordered by Grand Master Wen, he is the mastermind! At most, I can be regarded as an accomplice. I am willing to take the blame and make meritorious services. From now on, I will be Senior Liang's mount and work hard without complaint.
, no regrets!”
"It's not your turn to be the master's mount yet!"
A sneer came from the black wind, and the ghostly aura suddenly doubled.
Under the invasion of ghost energy, the giant scorpion's body shook like chaff. This shaking only lasted for three breaths. After three breaths, the giant scorpion completely lost its vitality.
Black smoke slowly floated out from the Scorpion Boy's body, and at the same time it also brought out a remnant soul.
The black wind in mid-air rolled up in place, sucking the remnant soul into it, and then left through the air...
At this moment, in the valley of Qidou Peak.
Liang Yan sat cross-legged with a calm expression.
There was deathly silence in the valley. The disciples of the two great sects were all dead. Even their souls were taken away by Zhao Xunzhen and turned into her nourishment.
Liang Yan waited for a moment, and a black cloud slowly gathered in front of him.
A moment later, Zhao Xunzhen appeared, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and whispered: "Reporting to the master, the bodies of these two people have been destroyed, and I have captured their souls."
While speaking, she slowly stretched out her right hand, and saw a ghostly aura floating in her palm.
This ghostly energy was still spinning, forming a black vortex, and in the whirlpool, two souls could be vaguely seen.
It's just that these two souls have been tortured to the point of being reduced to human form. At this time, they can only let out wailing sounds, and they don't even have the strength to struggle.
Liang Yan glanced at it, nodded and said, "I'll give these two to you."
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhao Xunzhen bowed respectfully.
Although she is a ghost cultivator now, she was also one of the top ten geniuses in the Antarctic Fairy Continent during her lifetime, and her magical power is comparable to that of her ancestor who survived three tribulations.
Relying on the secret technique learned in Fengdu City, although Zhao Xunzhen gave up his physical body and transformed into a pure ghost cultivator, he did not lose much strength. Now he is at least at the level that Du Er is difficult to reach.
There is no life limit for ghost cultivators, and there are no three disasters or nine disasters.
But she cannot gain cultivation through practice. She can only continuously improve her cultivation by devouring and refining other people's souls.
The stronger the opponent's soul, the greater the help to her.
Although ghost cultivators are free from three disasters and nine disasters, they do have a fatal danger, which is the avenue of reincarnation.
Strictly speaking, ghost cultivators are not recognized by the Great Way of Reincarnation, so every five hundred years, the power of reincarnation will act on ghost cultivators, trying to erase them from this world.
This kind of disaster has no end. Every time it is endured, the power of subsequent reincarnations will become stronger until the ghost cultivator is wiped out.
This is also the reason why the method of ghost cultivation is not recognized by the world of cultivation.
All living beings practice Taoism in order to seek immortality. Who would choose a path destined to perish? Only those who are persistent and unwilling to enter reincarnation will choose to survive by cultivating ghosts...
Zhao Xunzhen got Liang Yan's consent, and without any hesitation, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the ghost energy of the netherworld quickly rotated. The souls of the Scorpion Boy and Master Wen simultaneously let out painful wails.
The next moment, she opened her mouth and sucked the two souls into her belly.
As the ghost's secret method circulated, the souls of Scorpion Boy and Master Wen were quickly refined by Zhao Xunzhen, and eventually became her nourishment.
After a while, Zhao Xunzhen took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
Her cultivation level has improved slightly, but it has not yet reached the level she was in during her lifetime.
"Master, my soul power is still not strong enough... I can't help you much." Zhao Xunzhen lowered his head and said.
"Don't worry, you will have a chance to eat in the future, but you must obey my orders."
Liang Yan said, patted the Taixu gourd on his waist again, and said, "Come in first now."
"yes!"
Zhao Xunzhen responded, turned into a black cloud, and got back into the Taixu Gourd...
...........
Outside the Qidou Peak Valley, a huge mechanical wooden boat came through the sky and quickly approached the valley.
As the wooden boat stopped, the disciples of Yixing Pavilion filed out. The few people flying at the front were none other than Lu Zizhen, the current master of Yixing Pavilion, and the Taoist master of the Three Meridians and Four Paths!
In just a moment, everyone in Yixing Pavilion had already disembarked from the mechanical wooden boat.
There were more than 300 people in Yixing Pavilion. Except for the disciples who were in the Qi Refining stage who stayed in the mountain gate, all those who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage or above were brought over by Lu Zizhen.
When approaching the entrance of the valley, Lu Zizhen waved her hand to signal everyone to stop.
His eyes were fixed on the valley in front of him, and his face was very solemn.
"Pavilion Master, why is there no movement at all from Qidou Peak?" Calligraphy Master Wu Zimo frowned.
Lu Zizhen did not speak, but released her spiritual consciousness, wanting to secretly investigate the situation inside Qidou Peak.
However, Qidou Peak had long been jointly set up by Grand Master Wen and Demon Scorpion Boy to set up the "Qiankun Killing Formation". Both of them were cultivated by Zhenjun Tongxuan. Even if they were dead, the power of this formation was still there.
.
Lu Zizhen only has the cultivation level of the middle stage of Jindan, and her spiritual consciousness cannot enter Qidou Peak, so naturally she does not know what is going on inside.
"Wen Taishi, this old thief, must have used some conspiracy. I'm afraid Senior Liang is in danger inside!"
Wei Sheng looked a little excited and took a step forward, trying to enter Qidou Peak to save people.
"Calm down!"
Lu Zizhen stopped him and said in a deep voice: "We have all seen the magical power of Senior Liang. Even if we hear that the old thief has an ambush, he will not be killed so quickly, so we cannot mess up our position!"
"What should we do now?" everyone asked.
Lu Zizhen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There is no movement at all in the valley. In my opinion, the two sides may still be talking about peace. We will stay outside the valley for the time being. If someone takes action later, we will kill him immediately."
Enter the valley to prevent Grand Master Wen from using the Piaomiao Valley disciples to contain Senior Liang..."
Before he finished speaking, a sound of breaking through the sky suddenly came from the distant horizon.
Everyone looked up and saw more than ten rays of light of different colors coming from far and near, piercing the sky.
These escaping lights were extremely fast, and in just a blink of an eye, they were already in front of everyone.
The light dissipated, and the appearance of the person appeared. The leader was an old Taoist in white clothes, with white beard and hair, and an immortal spirit. He was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Yungang Sect, Taoist Yuan Ya!
There are more than ten monks standing behind him, with profound auras and cultivation levels above the Golden Core realm. One of the women is wearing green clothes and has a heroic appearance, but it is Miao Suwen who was sent to Yungang Sect by Lu Zizhen earlier to seek support.
!
"Senior Yuan Ya!"
The moment she saw the old Taoist priest, Lu Zizhen's face showed a smile.
"Great, senior, you are finally here. As long as you are here, Senior Liang will be safe!" Lu Zizhen said with a relieved smile.
Old Taoist Yuan Ya nodded slightly in greeting to him, but did not speak. Instead, he frowned and stared at the valley in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Everyone in Yixing Pavilion was a little confused when they saw this scene.
"Something's wrong..." the old Taoist priest muttered to himself.
After hearing this, everyone around looked at each other, a little confused.
Lu Zizhen frowned and asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"
"There is murderous intent, and...the smell of blood."
Old Taoist Yuan Ya smelled it carefully, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and exclaimed: "What a strong smell of blood! If I guessed correctly, this valley has already experienced a tragic fight!"
"What?!"
The expressions of everyone around him changed greatly.
Among them, Lu Zizhen was even more surprised and said: "It's impossible! From the time Senior Liang left Yixing Pavilion to the time we arrived here, only half a stick of incense passed. Could it be that they have already taken action?"
After thinking for a while, a look of horror appeared on his face again.
"If we have really taken action, and the valley is so quiet now, could it be that Senior Liang...he..."
Although the next words were not spoken, everyone knew that what he wanted to say was: "Could it be that Liang Yan has been killed?"
Yuan Ya also looked gloomy.
Although his realm was higher than others, he could not break through the "Qiankun Killing Formation" in a short time. He could only smell the extremely strong smell of blood, so he guessed that there had been a fight inside.
Such a quiet valley also made him feel a little uneasy.
Just when everyone was confused, the eighth peak that temporarily appeared at the entrance of the Qidou Peak Valley suddenly collapsed!
Boom!
Amidst the loud noise, rocks cracked and dust filled the air.
Everyone's heart was in their throats, and they all looked at it intently.
Amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, a figure slowly walked out of the valley.
This man was dressed in gray and tall. He had a tall and straight figure, a green gourd hanging from his waist, and his eyes were like an ancient well, without any fluctuation.
"Senior Liang!"
The moment they saw the person clearly, Lu Zizhen and other Yixing Pavilion disciples almost cried with joy.
For them, Liang Yan is the backer of Yixing Pavilion. If Liang Yan is killed by Grand Master Wen, then Yixing Pavilion will not be far from destruction.
Seeing Liang Yan walking out of the valley unscathed, everyone in Yixing Pavilion was overjoyed and saluted almost at the same time.
"It's hard for you to travel all the way."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and then his eyes turned and fell on another group of people.
This group of people is not as large as Yixing Pavilion, with only a dozen people in total, but it contains the top combat power of Yungang Sect.
The supreme elders, sect masters, and masters of the eight peaks of the Yungang Sect were all gathered here at this time.
Liang Yan glanced around and saw several acquaintances. In addition to Yuan Ya Laodao, there were also Sect Leader Shan He Zai, Zhaoxia Peak Peak Leader Lan Wangqiu, Shenju Peak Peak Leader Pu Nansheng, Feilong Peak Peak Leader Shen Tusu...
...
He could still remember most of the faces of these people, but his eyes did not stop and he swept over them, finally landing on an old man with a flat head wearing martial arts uniform.
