Because the Shuiyun Fairy Mirror was broken, a large amount of white mist appeared at the scene, so much so that Ma Xing fell to the ground. She had not yet seen clearly who the murderer was...
However, her reaction was not slow either.
The moment Ma Xing fell to the ground, she pinched the magic formula, and a pair of mother-and-son rings appeared above her head. The white jade-like glow suddenly bloomed and shot towards the depths of the white mist.
At this moment, an ordinary piece of wood came over.
The surrounding glow shattered at the first touch, unable to block the wooden stick at all, and it reached Dongfang Yu in just an instant.
The next moment, Dongfang Yu's eyes darkened, and she followed Ma Xing's footsteps and fainted on the ground...
Outside the Sutra Pavilion, Zhao Sheng and others heard the noise.
But because of Liang Yan's magic blockade, they didn't hear the sound of fighting, and thought it was Ma Xing and Dongfang Yu who found something inside.
Among the three people, Zhao Sheng and Zhang Chong were the most impatient. They looked at each other and rushed into the attic without hesitation, fearing that others would take away the benefits.
But when they pushed the door open, they found two monks lying on the ground.
It is Ma Xing and Dongfang Jade!
"broken……"
Zhao Sheng understood something instantly and murmured to himself.
The next moment, he fell to the ground.
Along with him was Zhang Chong, and the four of them lay crookedly and fell into one piece.
Outside the house, Wen Wangqiu's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Seeing that there was no movement among the four people entering, he didn't know that the situation had changed.
"Did our plan be discovered by Master Baixiao?"
Thinking of this, Wen Wangqiu felt fear in his heart, and immediately turned around and ran away without hesitation.
At this moment, there was a loud sound of wind behind him, but a piece of wood flew through the air and was behind him in the blink of an eye.
Wen Wangqiu immediately cast his body-protecting spiritual light, maximizing his magic power.
But that piece of wood was invincible, and no magic power could stop it in the slightest, and it hit Wen Wangqiu firmly on the back of the head.
"Ugh!"
In the darkness, Wen Wangqiu groaned, the light disappeared, and he fell from the air...
The entire fight took place in a flash of lightning. In just a moment, the valley returned to its previous tranquility.
In the Sutra Pavilion, Liang Yan looked at the four people lying on the ground with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Strange! I came to the Sutra Pavilion to find information about the Seventh Difficulty. Why are these people all rushing to the Sutra Pavilion?"
You know, there are many treasures in this valley. The treasure gathering hall, alchemy room, weapon refining room... there must be good things there.
And monks like Ma Xing and Dongfang Yu are able to practice to the eighth difficulty. There is basically no shortage of skills, and the training system has been finalized.
In contrast, the priority of the Sutra Pavilion should not be so high!
"Is there another mystery in this Sutra Pavilion?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan's heart moved and he walked to the nearest Ma Xing, wanting to search his soul.
But at this moment, there was a sound in the air outside the valley, and three more figures came quietly.
"Why is there anyone else here?"
Liang Yan looked surprised, and with a flash of thought in his mind, he decisively walked out of the house and dragged Wen Wangqiu, who had fallen into a coma, into the attic.
By the way, he also took back the wooden stick...
There are three reasons why Liang Yan used wooden strips.
First, he doesn't want to kill anyone.
Second, he didn't want to leave evidence.
Third, because of the Dao Tribulation, he wanted to use the minimum cost every time he made a move. Although this wooden stick was ordinary, he could defeat all kinds of magic by attaching a wisp of Chaos Sword Qi to it.
Just as Liang Yan dragged Wen Wangqiu into the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, the three men from outside the valley broke in.
I saw that these three people were also monks on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. The leader was Xiao Mo from Lingyin Sect. His reflection on Jiuyuan Lake was golden, and he was ranked 29th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Although the reflections of the other two people are red, their rankings are not low, ranking 31st and 32nd respectively.
"Strange, why do I feel that the restrictions on Xuanji Island have become weaker?" one of them asked in confusion.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be suspicious. It's obviously Song's ancestral spirit beast that is so powerful that even the restrictions on Xuanji Island can't stop it!"
This person's name is Song Heng, and he is the head of a cultivation family. On his shoulder squats a spiritual beast, which looks like a monkey but not a monkey, with sly eyes.
Liang Yan heard the conversation between the three people in the Sutra Pavilion and secretly laughed in his heart.
Hasn’t it become weaker?
The restriction on this mysterious island was first broken by myself. Although it can be repaired by itself, its power is no longer as good as before.
Later, Zhao Sheng, Zhang Chong, and Wen Wangqiu jointly cracked it using the sect's magic weapon, and its power dropped a lot.
By the time Xiao Mo and Song Heng arrived, the power of the ban was already less than 20% of what it was in its heyday.
It can be said that the reason why these three people came in was entirely due to Liang Yan and Zhao Sheng.
"Anyway, we finally got in!"
Xiao Mo looked very excited: "It is said that the thing is inside the Sutra Pavilion. Time is running out. We have to act quickly."
"good."
Song Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't take too long for the 'Building Heaven Pill' to be released. Master Baixiao will soon discover the anomaly. If time is wasted, we are all at risk of being exposed!"
The three of them flew away while talking.
In just a moment, they arrived at the door of the Sutra Pavilion.
How sharp is Liang Yan's consciousness? He could hear it clearly inside.
"It seems that there are really good things in this Sutra Pavilion!"
When he thought of this, Liang Yan was not in a hurry to leave.
He put away the storage rings belonging to Zhang Chong, Zhao Sheng and Wen Wangqiu. After hesitating for a moment, he also took away the storage rings belonging to Ma Xing and Dongfang Yu.
Originally, he had no grievances against Ma Xing and Dongfang Yu. He just wanted to knock them out and not take advantage of their storage rings.
However, Zhao Sheng caused Liang Yan to make a loss-making business at the exchange meeting. This debt must be repaid by him, and if he only takes Zhao Sheng's storage ring, then he will be very suspicious...
After thinking about it, Liang Yan finally decided to treat everyone equally and collect all the storage rings from these people.
Just after putting away the storage ring, three people outside the house rushed in impatiently.
Liang Yan sighed when he saw this.
Xiao Mo and the others were obviously not as good as Ma Xing, Dongfang Yu and the others were as alert as they were. They didn't check the Scripture Pavilion in advance and simply broke in.
Fortunately, Liang Yan had already made preparations and hid behind the door.
As soon as these three people came in, he stabbed each of them.
Poor Xiao Mo, Song Heng and others, some of them are elders of a sect, some are heads of aristocratic families, each of them is famous in their own area. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, their eyes darkened and they fell limply to the ground.
With his previous experience, Liang Yan is now quite familiar with stabbing people.
Xiao Mo, Song Heng and others were completely stunned and felt no pain at all.
When Ma Xing barged in at the beginning, Liang Yan was caught off guard and used too much force and accidentally poked the man's mouth crooked.
"Sorry, sorry." Liang Yan sighed in his heart.
Soon, he also took away the storage rings of Xiao Mo and others.
"Let me see what secrets there are in the Sutra Pavilion..."
Liang Yan showed a very interested expression and immediately picked an unlucky guy among the crowd and prepared to search for his soul.
But at this moment, a powerful aura suddenly appeared at the entrance of the valley.
"Again!"
Liang Yan's eyes showed an impatient look.
Feeling: These people are not here to participate in the Pindan Conference, but to be thieves!
Master Baixiao has worked so hard to refine elixirs for you. How about you just spend every night exploring the Sutra Pavilion? Are you no longer a human being?
"What a bastard!"
Liang Yan cursed secretly in his heart, sincerely feeling unworthy for layman Baixiao.
However, out of anger, Liang Yan still cautiously let his consciousness out of the house, wanting to see who the person was.
In the dark night, a man in white robes flew through the air and quickly approached the location of the Sutra Pavilion.
"It's him!"
Liang Yan saw the appearance of the person clearly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It’s Shen Biyou!
The appearance of this person completely exceeded Liang Yan's expectations...
"It's almost midnight. Shouldn't he go to Xuanji Cave at this time to prepare for the refining of the Heaven-Building Pill that is about to be released?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan's heart moved.
The Sky-Building Pill is also a rare treasure! Shen Biyou actually gave up the Sky-Building Pill and rushed here even at the cost of offending Xuanji Island. This shows that the chance of the Sutra Pavilion is definitely not small?
"What is it that even a Taoist like him is attracted to?"
Liang Yan became very interested at this time.
However, he did not want to take action against Shen Biyou.
After thinking for a moment in the darkness, Liang Yan made a secret and put all the monks lying on the ground into the Taixu gourd.
Then, he activated the Tianji Pearl, completely hiding his aura, and hid in the shadow of the Sutra Pavilion.
Not long after, Shen Biyou arrived at the door of the Sutra Pavilion.
This Taoist Master of the Dao League seemed to rarely do such sneaky things, and his face looked very unnatural.
He was not as cautious as Ma Xing and Dongfang Yu. He just opened the door and walked in without any prior inspection.
There is a cave inside the Sutra Pavilion. From the outside, it looks like a small attic, but inside it is dozens of miles in diameter.
Thousands of bookshelves are suspended on the wooden floor, and each bookshelf contains hundreds of secret volumes, covering everything!
But Shen Biyou doesn't seem to be here looking for books.
He turned a blind eye to the collection of books on Xuanji Island, took out a Bagua compass from his sleeve, and walked straight to the center of the Sutra Pavilion.
"The stars are unpredictable, the eight trigrams are in search of dragons..."
Shen Biyou muttered something in his mouth, and at the same time, he made a secret with his right hand and shot a stream of spiritual light into the compass in his left hand.
The compass rotated rapidly, with rays of light flashing on its surface. Runes and hexagrams that Liang Yan couldn't understand appeared alternately, as if the sun and moon were changing, and the stars and rivers were turning.
Gradually, countless stars, large and small, appeared around. These stars were scattered in every corner of the Sutra Pavilion, like a star map, covering the entire Sutra Pavilion!
"What secret technique is this?"
Liang Yan was surprised and slightly nervous.
He didn't know much about Taoist secrets. If he was discovered, he didn't know how to deal with this person.
Fortunately, Shen Biyou's secret technique doesn't seem to be used to find people.
As the little bits of starlight clung to the surrounding bookshelves, Shen Biyou narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had discovered some secret.
He placed the Bagua Compass above his head, raised his hand, and moved one of the bookshelves to its position.
Boom!
As the bookshelf shifted, a muffled sound came from the Sutra Pavilion, as if some mechanism had been triggered.
Shen Biyou's eyes lit up, and he kept turning the Bagua compass above his head, letting the starlight shuttle between the bookshelves.
Soon, he found his follow-up target, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and continuously adjusted the position of the bookshelf in the Sutra Pavilion.
Liang Yan was hiding in the dark. When he saw this scene, he was surprised and said: "I asked why the collection of books here is divided into six areas. It turns out to be a hidden magic circle! I couldn't tell it with my consciousness. This Shen Bi How did you know?"
"No...he already knew it before he came!"
Liang Yan's eyes flashed with light, and he thought secretly: "These people have very clear goals. They went straight to the Sutra Pavilion as soon as they entered the valley. They must have received the news in advance, but Shen Biyou got more comprehensive information. He knew The existence of this magic circle..."
While I was thinking about it, another breath came quietly from the valley.
This person was very well hidden, but he couldn't hide it from Liang Yan's consciousness.
"Another sub-sage?"
Liang Yan's face was slightly condensed, and he looked outside the room and saw a woman in palace clothes under the moonlight, with a graceful figure and a veil covering her face.
It is Empress Yuhua of the Confucian League!
She seemed to be following Shen Biyou, and she had not dared to get too close before. It was not until Shen Biyou began to crack the magic circle in the house that she could no longer be distracted, and she quietly approached.
This woman did not enter the house immediately, but lurked in the dark, silently waiting for Shen Biyou to break the formation.
In this way, a strange picture formed inside and outside the Sutra Pavilion.
The Taoist masters were concentrating on breaking the magic circle left by others in the house. Outside the house, there was a female cultivator from the Confucian League holding her breath, waiting for an opportunity to move. There was another person in the house secretly observing the two...
This weird scene didn't last long, because Shen Biyou quickly broke the ban.
As more than 300 bookshelves in the room changed their positions, the Sutra Pavilion suddenly shook, and then the glow bloomed, and a blue aperture about ten feet in size appeared on the floor.
Seeing the appearance of this aperture, Shen Biyou looked overjoyed and immediately jumped up, wanting to jump into the aperture.
But at this moment, a white rainbow came from outside the house and hit Shen Biyou's back without warning.
The person who took action was Empress Yuhua!
She lurked outside the house for a long time without revealing any flaws. She only waited for Shen Biyou to break through the restriction before taking decisive action.
As both Yashengs, Empress Yuhua is no weaker than Shen Biyou. This attack was a sneak attack, so fast and fierce that Shen Biyou had no time to resist.
Liang Yan hid in the dark and saw everything clearly.
Nothing can happen to Shen Biyou, he still expects this person to help him get the "Wuwei Tao Jing"!
At this moment, his mind was racing, and he suddenly flicked his finger and shot out an invisible sword energy.
Bai Hong was about to hit Shen Biyou, but he deflected slightly in mid-air. It seemed that he was affected by something, and even his speed slowed down a bit.
When masters compete with each other, a slight difference can lead to a huge difference!
Although it was only a slight deviation, it was enough for Shen Biyou to react...
