The visitor recognized him at a glance, looked him up and down, and said in surprise: "Tsk tsk, Judge Cui, it's been hundreds of years since you left the ghost prison, why did you suddenly come back at this time?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled calmly: "Looking north, I am the commander of the 'Upper Ninth Floor'. I don't need to notify you of any actions, right?"
"Things are different now."
Qing Beiwang shook his head: "Now that the Soul and Demon Saints are in charge of the ghost prison, it is stipulated that everything must be reported. Although you are the commander of the upper ninth level, you have been away from the ghost prison for hundreds of years. Are you still qualified to manage it?
To reach the ninth floor, you must get the nod from the Soul Saint."
"snort!"
Liang Yan snorted coldly: "You don't know something. Saint Nanxuan has already arrived here. Saints Soul and Yao have come out of the city to meet the enemy. I was ordered by Saint Soul to open the teleportation circle so that
The poison of Tiangong City, the Second Sage Wu came here."
"Teleportation circle? Why didn't I know there was a teleportation circle?" Qing Beiwang frowned.
"It's normal for you to be on the ninth floor. After all, only judges can pass up to the ninth floor." Liang Yan said without changing his expression.
"Do you have proof?"
"The incident happened suddenly and there was no evidence in hand."
Liang Yan's face was calm, he stared into Qing Beiwang's eyes, and said slowly: "What do you mean, can't you trust me? Or do you mean that you will bear the wrath of the saint for delaying the important military matter?"
After Qing Beiwang heard this, his face instantly darkened.
At this moment, the two of them looked at each other in the distance, neither of them spoke anymore, and the atmosphere became a little depressed.
I don't know how long it took, Qing Beiwang suddenly laughed: "Brother Cui is joking, you are the judge, appointed by Yan Jun himself, will I still not believe you? I just don't know what the battle situation is outside the city? Nan Xuan is here
Which saint is it?”
"A zombie and a monk cultivating demons." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Zombie? I heard that the president of the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce is the zombie who became enlightened. Could it be him? Well, two saints are here. The situation is indeed urgent and there is no time to delay."
When Qing Beiwang said this, his face became solemn: "Without further ado, I will open the barrier now and let the judge enter the next level."
After saying that, he took out a token from his sleeve and played several spells in succession.
At the same time, hundreds of monks in the villa were also manipulating formations under his orders.
brush!
As the rays of light flashed, layers of ripples appeared in the space outside the villa, and the invisible barrier opened.
"Judge Cui, please!"
Qing Bei Wang saluted very politely.
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly released his consciousness, and carefully inspected the entire villa, confirming that the barrier had been completely opened and no flaws were found.
"Did he really believe what I said because I was paranoid?"
Although he didn't find any flaws, Liang Yan still kept a careful eye on it. He hid his right hand in his sleeve and quietly performed a magic formula.
The Dingguang Sword Pill turned invisible and quietly merged into the void behind him.
After getting ready, Liang Yancai smiled slightly, took Zhao Xunzhen with him, and walked calmly into the villa.
This villa is very strange. Every attic and every rockery seems to be carefully designed. All the buildings are centered around the crater in the middle, which coincides with the secrets of ghosts.
"The entrance to the eighth floor is within the crater." Zhao Xunzhen said secretly.
Liang Yan understood in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He cupped his hands and smiled at Qing Beiwang, who was walking towards him, and said, "Young Taoist Qing is guarding the seventh floor. He neither neglects his duties nor knows how to be flexible. He is actually our Fengdu City."
Fortunately. After this crisis is over, I will definitely report it to Lord Yama, and a reward will be indispensable."
"Haha, thank you so much, judge!"
Qing Beiwang seemed to be in a good mood, and returned a salute to Liang Yan, then turned his eyes and landed on Zhao Xunzhen.
"Tsk, tsk, why did nephew Zhao Xian become a ghost cultivator? I remember that your talent is extremely high. At the peak of Tongxuan, you have the strength to rival the ancestor of Huajie. Why did you abandon your physical body?"
"This is an agreement between her and I. You don't have to worry about it, right?" Liang Yan said lightly.
"Haha, not bad, it's Qing who talks too much."
Qing Beiwang laughed, and then said with a solemn expression: "Time is running out, Judge Cui should go to the ninth floor quickly, don't waste time here."
"good."
Liang Yan didn't want to talk nonsense with him and took Zhao Xunzhen towards the crater.
But after only walking a few miles, he realized something was wrong.
Qing Beiwang stopped where he was and did not follow him. Moreover, the monks holding ghost lanterns in their hands all gathered around him and were looking at him with indifferent expressions.
Liang Yan frowned slightly and stopped.
"Fellow Daoist Qing, what does this mean?"
"Haha, what can I mean? I just want to invite the judge to have a cup of tea in my villa to relieve his fatigue." Qing Beiwang said with a smile.
"Tea?"
Liang Yan's pupils shrank, he suddenly activated his escape light, took Zhao Xunzhen with him, and wanted to rush out of the villa.
But at this moment, the hundreds of monks raised the lanterns in their hands at the same time, and balls of will-o'-the-wisps flew out of the lanterns, instantly leaping into the air and condensing into a green barrier, shrouding him in it.
Qing Beiwang chuckled, took out a black talisman paper from his sleeve, threw it into the sky, and it spontaneously ignited for a moment. Instead of rising, he saw a black smoke sinking into the ground of the villa.
Boom!
A dull loud noise came from below, and then the earth cracked, and the pavilions and pavilions in the villa turned into ghost faces. Green flames shot up into the sky, like huge centipedes, hovering in the air.
!
"I see"
Liang Yan was trapped by the barrier, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
It turns out that there is a cave under the villa, and a giant killing array is actually hidden. The ghost lanterns held by the monks are the key to opening the magic circle. Normally, they will not reveal the slightest breath at all. Only when all the ghost lanterns are extinguished, this killing array will appear.
The array will be activated.
This is impossible to guard against. No wonder Qing Bei Wang would take the initiative to open the barrier. It turns out to be a hidden formation within the formation. Please enter the urn!
"Qing Beiwang, you and I are both from the old tribe of Fengdu City. Aren't you afraid of Lord Yan's punishment for treating me like this?" Liang Yan's eyes widened and he shouted sternly.
"Hey, it's already this time and you still want to pretend?"
Qing Bei Wang sneered and shouted the same: "You are not a judge at all! You must have used this identity to get through the previous six floors, right? It's a pity that you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me, Qing Bei Wang!"
After hearing this, the anger on Liang Yan's face gradually disappeared. He was silent for a moment and asked, "How did you see through it?"
"Ha ha!"
Qing Beiwang laughed and said: "You don't know that Judge Cui and I have made an agreement. I told him how to identify and find the peerless genius, and he promised to transfer Zhao Xunzhen's physical body and Yuan Yuan's body after the matter is completed.
God refined the elixir and gave it to me. Now, Zhao Xunzhen has become a ghost cultivator and his body has been annihilated, but you haven’t given me an explanation. Can you still be the real Judge Cui?"
??????????.??????
When these words were spoken, Liang Yan didn't react much, but Zhao Xunzhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"What a ghost, what a Qingbeiwang, he started plotting against me from that moment on, and he had no intention of leaving a way for me to survive!"
Qing Beiwang turned a blind eye to Zhao Xunzhen's gaze, and then smiled and said: "You dare to pretend to be Judge Cui, you should know his whereabouts. Although I have no friendship with Lao Cui, we have an appointment after all. As long as you take Judge Cui to
Tell me your current situation, and I can leave a trace of your true spirit for reincarnation."
"No need!"
Liang Yan sneered and said, "If you have the ability, just kill me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Bei Wang saw a flash of light in the sky behind him, a bright star appeared out of thin air, and the sword energy was fierce!
"Um?"
Qing Beiwang never expected that there was an ambush behind him, so his expression changed drastically and he hurriedly made a magic spell.
I saw a cloud of ghostly mist appear from behind, turning into a vicious centipede, biting towards the starlight.
This centipede's mouthparts are a hundred feet long, and it emits a putrid smell, which is obviously highly poisonous. Ordinary magic weapons will be contaminated if they touch it, making it impossible to resist it.
But such a powerful secret technique of the ghost path, under the shining of starlight, could not be resisted, just like a piece of window paper, it was pierced in an instant!
The starlight fell, the sword energy dispersed, and the mouthparts that were a hundred feet long turned into powder in an instant.
At the same time, countless stars floated around, quickly dismembering the centipede and turning it into countless pieces of meat, which fell from the air.
"How can it be!"
Qing Beiwang was shocked. The secret technique he was good at was actually broken by his opponent in a snap of his fingers. Moreover, this person was trapped by the magic circle. This was simply unbelievable!
His pupils suddenly shrank: "That's not starlight, it's sword energy! When did he keep it as a backup? Was it before entering the villa?"
At this moment, Qing Beiwang's thoughts were racing and he quickly confirmed one thing.
The man in front of me pretending to be a ghost hand is anything but simple!
His ability to pass the first six levels may not be entirely due to Guishou's identity. Regardless of his mental ability or magical means, he is not able to deal with it.
Qing Beiwang was always vigilant and never greedy for success. At this time, he made a decisive decision without any hesitation. He turned around and turned into a ray of light, galloping away into the distance!
He was so decisive that even Liang Yan was stunned for a moment.
After all, it is obvious that he is trapped in the formation and is at a disadvantage. As a prison keeper, most people will try. If they can catch the invading enemy, they will definitely have made a great contribution to Tiangong City.
But Qing Beiwang didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran away, not even wanting his own cave and his men.
"Don't leave!"
With a thought in Liang Yan's mind, the Dingguang Sword Pill spun in mid-air, turned into star sword light again, and slashed towards Qing Beiwang's escape direction.
Sensing the sword light approaching, Qing Beiwang's expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and took off his two arms.
The two arms fell in the air and immediately absorbed the surrounding will-o'-the-wisps. They grew in the wind and turned into two fire centipedes in an instant, biting hard on the sword light.
Although the star sword light was devastating, it was bitten by these two fire centipedes and still stagnated in mid-air for a moment.
After a moment, the starlight was strong and the sword energy was flowing horizontally, cutting the two fire centipedes into pieces.
But just in this moment of delay, Qing Beiwang had already gone far. He seemed to have taken some secret medicine, and his flight speed was extremely fast. At this time, he was beyond the coverage of his spiritual consciousness.
"You are a determined person. He is a ruthless person who wants to survive with his arms cut off!"
Liang Yan saw this scene from a distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a solemn look.
He didn't expect to be discovered by the prison lord on this level, and he also escaped. In this way, the situation was not good for him.
"After all, it's the law of the stars that he just comprehended. He hasn't had time to integrate it with the sword technique, so it's a bit unfamiliar to use. Otherwise, how could he escape?"
Liang Yan was also helpless. Among the five sword pills, only the Dingguang Sword was the best at concealment, but its disadvantage was that it did not have the power to perfectly integrate the law.
Although he felt a little regretful, he did not stop.
With the pinch of the sword formula in his hand, the starlight sword energy flew past the formation, killing hundreds of monks holding ghost lanterns one by one, and also slaughtered all the monks hiding in the dark to control the formation.
The whole process took less than ten breaths.
Rivers of blood flowed inside the villa, the magic circle lost control, all the ghost lanterns were destroyed, and their power was instantly reduced by 70%.
"Break it for me!"
Liang Yan pointed with his hand, his sword energy surged, he broke through the killing array from the inside, and walked out calmly.
"Qing Beiwang escaped!" Zhao Xunzhen frowned slightly: "This person will definitely gather all the monks to surround us. How about chasing him and silencing him before he gets far?"
Liang Yan shook his head: "It's too late now. This man has a secret medicine that can greatly increase the speed of light escape. Even if we can catch up, it will take a lot of time. Moreover, we are not familiar with the terrain here, but he is like a duck to water.
At that time, people did not catch up, but fell deeper and deeper."
"So what do we do now?"
"Keep going down!"
Liang Yan said decisively: "It will take time for Qingbeiwang to gather manpower. We have to speed up. Time is our biggest enemy."
"I understand." Zhao Xunzhen nodded.
The two of them did not communicate anymore, each activated the escape light, and soon arrived at the crater.
Under the clusters of green will-o'-the-wisps, there is a small space node hidden, which is the entrance to the eighth floor!
"Walk!"
Liang Yan waved his sleeves, transformed into the ghost-hand scholar again, and jumped into the space node inside the volcano with Zhao Xunzhen.
The surrounding stars are moving and the void is changing.
In just a moment, the two of them were squeezed out of the space node at the same time and landed on the ground.
As soon as he appeared, Liang Yan smelled a rotten stench.
Looking around, this is a dark forest, filled with carrion, various twisted worms, monsters moving in the forest, and a poisonous miasma filling the entire forest.
"The eighth floor is the Ghost Poison Forest. Most of the monks here have practiced poison techniques." Zhao Xunzhen introduced.
"Poison skill?"
Liang Yan sneered. He had the "Holy Body of Shennong" and was immune to all poisons. As long as he was not at the level of "Poison Saint", no poisonous power could hurt him.
"Speed up and tell me directly where the prison lord is."
"Right in the middle of the Ghostly Poison Forest."
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded, used the ghost mist to condense into escaping light, and led Zhao Xunzhen at lightning speed, and soon arrived in the middle of the forest.
Looking from a distance, I saw a huge pond with green pus flowing in it, and a fat woman was taking a bath.
