After hearing his words, Mo Jin was slightly stunned.
She knew that this senior brother would never make a fuss. Even if he said it was a big deal, it must be no small matter.
The young man said again: "I have been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect that you are not practicing in the cave, but you come here to fight swords with outsiders."
"I……"
Mo Jin wanted to say that she accepted Su Xiaodie's invitation, but she knew that this senior brother was always strict, so after thinking about it, she finally accepted it herself.
"I have been practicing swordsmanship for a long time, and I also need to compete with masters. Fellow Daoist Lu is very talented. He has mastered the magical power of the 'Sword Finger' line in just a few years. He is a rare sparring opponent."
After hearing this, the young man's eyes turned and fell on Liang Yan for the first time.
"Are you Lu Xuanji?"
"That's right." Liang Yan cupped his fists and saluted this person.
The young man nodded slightly and said: "I heard Hong Asan talk about you. He said that the 'Jian Zhi' lineage is now withering away, and this year's Void Realm Forum plans to let you fight as a representative."
"Oh?" Liang Yan was slightly surprised.
Although he had been learning swordsmanship from Hong Asan in the past three years, he was old-fashioned and meticulous and never showed how close he was to him.
Unexpectedly, he recommended him behind his back, and even asked him to fight on behalf of the "Sword Finger" lineage...
The young man looked him up and down and said calmly: "You do have potential. Maybe we will become teammates in the disaster world. But I have to remind you, no matter how outstanding you are, as long as you do something that is detrimental to the interests of the Confucian League
I will kill you without hesitation!"
This man's voice was calm, but there was a chilling air. Even if Liang Yan was far away, he could feel the pressure on him.
"There are still masters... This person is definitely above Mo Jin!" Liang Yan commented in his heart.
He looked far up the cliff and suddenly asked: "Fellow Taoist, I still don't know who you are?"
"Zhuge Wulie." The man said calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaodie also flew into the valley and landed next to Liang Yan.
"He is the senior brother of our Huijian style, the strongest person in the 'Sword Net' lineage, and also the strongest person in the Huijian style. If you want to participate in the Void Realm Discussion, you should be in his team.
"Su Xiaodie said secretly.
After hearing this, Liang Yan looked astonished.
The "Jianwang" lineage is very mysterious. He has not seen one in the past three years. It is said to be a magical power second only to "Jianji", and one must have extraordinary talent to practice it.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhuge. Nice to meet you!"
Liang Yan chuckled and said: "Senior brother, don't worry. I came to the Confucian League just to learn the principles of Taoism. I have no other ulterior motives. As for the discussion of Taoism in the virtual realm, as long as I can get a quota, I will definitely go all out and never delay.
Senior brother’s hind legs.”
After hearing this, Zhuge Wulie's expression softened slightly, but he did not show much enthusiasm. He just said lightly: "I believe you for the time being, but you are not a disciple of my academy, so there is no need to call me 'senior brother'. Just call me Taoist friend."
Can."
After saying that, he ignored Liang Yan and turned to look at Mo Jin: "Something big happened in the academy. Master summoned us to discuss it. You can come with me."
"yes."
Mo Jin activated the escape light, flew up the cliff, and landed next to Zhuge Wulie.
She turned around and looked at Liang Yan, and said with a serious face: "I admit that my Taoist friend's magical power is better than mine. Mo Jin lost the battle just now, but this does not mean that the 'Sword Dance' magical power is not good, it is just that I learned
It’s just that I’m not good at art.”
Of course, Liang Yan would not talk nonsense at this time. He smiled and nodded: "The magical power of 'Sword Dance' is indeed mysterious. Lu just managed to win one and a half moves by luck. If there is a chance, I would like to ask fellow Taoist Mo for advice."
Seeing that he was neither arrogant nor arrogant, Mo Jin's eyes became much softer.
"My Taoist friend is a heavenly being, and his future is limitless," the woman said sincerely.
As for Zhuge Wulie, he just looked at Liang Yan deeply and didn't say much.
"Xiaodie, you come too."
After Zhuge Wulie dropped these words, he and Mo Jin turned into a ray of light and galloped away into the distance.
"Ah? I'm going too?"
Su Xiaodie showed a hint of surprise and turned to look at Liang Yan beside her.
"Go, I think something big happened at Hidden Sword Academy. Stop talking and listen more. Tell me when you come back." Liang Yan said secretly.
"Um."
Su Xiaodie nodded, pinched the magic formula, turned it into escaping light, and followed Zhuge Wulie and Mo Jinyuan.
…
After everyone left, Liang Yan was the only one left in the valley.
There was light in his eyes and he looked thoughtful.
"The Hidden Sword Academy is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger... Mo Jin can push me to this level, and that Zhuge Wulie just now is even more unfathomable."
After these three years, he now has a clearer understanding of his position.
The strength of the two clones should rank among the top ten among the forty people who participated in the "Void Realm Discussion", and they are far from being able to cover the sky with one hand.
There are too many masters from the Taoist and Confucian schools, and many of them are more powerful than these two clones.
Unless you use the Chaos Sword Energy, it will be difficult to defeat these masters...
"It seems that we need to be cautious during this trip to the 'Disaster of the World'." Liang Yan thought to himself.
Since you can't crush with strength, you can only act according to the situation and win with wisdom.
Fortunately, there are three Chaos Sword Qi as trump cards. As long as they are used properly, they will definitely have the final say!
These thoughts only flashed through Liang Yan's mind. Soon, he regained his former composure, turned around, turned into a ray of light, and left the valley.
…
That night, Liang Yan meditated cross-legged in his cave.
At midnight, suddenly a ray of light came through the sky and landed directly outside the gate of the cave.
"Come in." Liang Yan was not surprised and said calmly.
The door opened automatically, and soon a girl with a graceful figure walked in.
It’s none other than Su Xiaodie!
"Sit down." Liang Yan pointed at a futon casually.
Su Xiaodie sat down as instructed, looking very well-behaved.
"What happened during the day? Even people like Zhuge Wulie were alarmed."
"yes……"
Su Xiaodie hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I will only tell you this matter. You must not tell anyone else."
"Don't worry." Liang Yan smiled slightly.
"The Lingyun Treasure House is on fire!" Su Xiaodie said with a solemn expression.
"Lingyun Treasure House?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly and said in surprise: "Isn't that the most advanced treasure pavilion in the Hidden Sword Academy? I heard that the worst treasures in it are robbery treasures, and there are even holy treasures stored in it!"
"Yes, the Lingyun Treasure House is a forbidden area of our Hidden Sword Academy. Ordinary people cannot approach it at all. Even I am not allowed to enter or leave at will without a token."
"This is strange..."
Liang Yan's face became even more surprised: "The Lingyun Treasure House is so strictly guarded, how could it easily catch fire? Who is the arsonist? What is the purpose?"
"The arsonist is Senior Brother Gao Bu of Yijian Style."
"Gaobu?"
Liang Yan thought about it for a moment and seemed to have some impression of this person.
There is no doubt that the two strongest schools in the Hidden Sword Academy are the Hui Sword Style and the Heart Sword Style, but in addition, there are other inheritances.
Check out the correct version one by one!
For example, this Gao Bu is the senior brother of Yi Jianliu and the most proud disciple of Yi Jianxian.
"I have met this person several times, and I have the impression that he is a very respectful person. How could he do such a ridiculous thing?" Liang Yan said with some disbelief.
"If it were a normal Senior Brother Gao, he would definitely not do such a thing, but the problem is, Senior Brother Gao..." Su Xiaodie had a complex expression on her face and hesitated to speak.
Liang Yan frowned slightly: "What's going on? If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be hesitant."
Su Xiaodie sighed: "Oh, this Senior Brother Gao... has the same fate as my sister."
Liang Yan was stunned after hearing this.
"What did you just say? Just like your sister...could it be that Gao Bu was also corrupted by Tianxu?"
"Um."
Su Xiaodie nodded: "He was eroded by Tianxu to a greater extent than my sister. This morning, when you and Sister Mo were preparing to compete, he suddenly went crazy and burned the Lingyun treasure house with his unique true fire.
There was a lot of destruction inside..."
"Wait! The treasure house is a forbidden area for the sect. How did he get in?" Liang Yan interrupted.
"Because he is the monk responsible for guarding the treasure house. The guards of the treasure house rotate every ten years. Last year it happened to be Senior Brother Gao's turn."
After hearing this, Liang Yan was still puzzled and asked: "Even so, he has been responsible for guarding the treasure house for a whole year. Didn't he show any signs of strangeness before, and no one suspected him until today's incident?"
"No."
Su Xiaodie shook her head and sighed: "The Tianxu that erodes Senior Brother Gao is not an ordinary Tianxu, but an extremely rare 'blood deficiency'. This kind of Tianxu is not very powerful in combat, but everyone is afraid of it because it can lurk
In the monk's essence and blood, even the monk himself cannot detect it, and he usually behaves like an ordinary person. But when you are at your weakest, your blood deficiency will suddenly take effect, control your consciousness, and turn you into a massacrer.
puppet."
"It's actually blood deficiency..." Liang Yan looked surprised.
He also inquired about a lot of information about Tianxu from the Taoist sect, and knew that there are several types of top-level Tianxu, and Xuexu is a very special kind.
Once blood deficiency enters the body, it is basically pronounced dead.
Because this kind of Tianxu can be perfectly integrated with the essence and blood of the human race, and in the end it can even penetrate into the true spirit. There is no way to separate the Xuexu from the monk himself.
After blood deficiency enters the human body, there is a certain incubation period and the symptoms will not occur immediately.
It will begin to erode the true spirit when the host is at its weakest. The whole process lasts only a few breaths and is extremely difficult to prevent. After that, it will completely control the host.
"No wonder... Gao Bu must have been eroded by blood deficiency a long time ago. It's just that during the incubation period, he didn't notice it himself, and others couldn't see the clues. It wasn't until today that he suddenly took action." Liang Yan nodded slightly.
"Alas, Senior Brother Gao is also unlucky. A few days ago, he was practicing a mental method, and he almost went crazy because of his carelessness. Presumably, his blood deficiency eroded his true spirit at that time." Su Xiaodie sighed softly.
After Liang Yan heard this, he was silent for a long time.
He stood up and paced back and forth under the moonlight.
"It's not right, it's still wrong..."
Liang Yan paced and shook his head: "Your sister Su Mengli is in a special situation. How did Gao Bu get infected with Tianxu? After all, it's been 500 years since the last Xujing Dao Forum, and the blood deficiency in his body cannot be lurking.
So long?"
"You don't know something. Senior Brother Gao was once the lord of Canglan City. He was ordered to guard there for fifty years. He didn't return to the sect until the beginning of last year..."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's heart moved: "Canglan City...could it be?"
Su Xiaodie nodded slightly: "You guessed it right, Canglan City is an important city on the border of Netherworld Abyss!"
"I see!"
Liang Yan understood instantly.
So where is the Netherworld Abyss? The entire area has been corroded by Tianxu!
In order to prevent the power of Tianxu from spreading, the Taoist and Confucian factions each guarded half of the border and set up many cities on the border to resist the invasion of Tianxu.
Gao Bu, like Shen Biyou, was once the lord of a city. He must have had contact with Tianxu, which is why he ended up like this.
However, there are still doubts about this matter...
Gao Bu's cultivation is not weak. As the lord of a city, how can he be easily attacked?
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "What do the saints and seniors in the academy say?"
Su Xiaodie said solemnly: "The next step is the key point...Master has sent people to investigate. Just two years ago, there was a Tianxu riot outside Canglan City guarded by Gao Bu. A large number of Tianxu occurred without any warning. The ground emerged. At that time, Senior Brother Gao Bu led the masters in the city to resist bravely and finally killed these Tianxu. Looking back now, Senior Brother Gao Bu probably contracted blood deficiency at that time..."
When Liang Yan heard this, his pupils shrank slightly!
picture!
It’s so similar!
Just three years ago, a similar thing happened in Lin'an City where Shen Biyou was guarding.
If he and Huang Risheng hadn't happened to be in the city at that time, Shen Biyou alone would never have been able to cope.
Su Xiaodie added at this time: "Master and several uncles and uncles have discussed this matter, and they all suspect that the matter is related to the Taoist alliance, because there are traces of Taoist spells left at the scene, and some people even witnessed the Taoist alliance with their own eyes. Ya Sheng is active near Canglan City."
After hearing these words, Liang Yan only felt funny in his heart.
The Confucian League doubted the Tao League, so how could the Tao League not doubt the Confucian League?
In fact, similar things happened on both sides. If the saints on both sides could sit down and talk calmly, they might be able to resolve the misunderstanding.
But this matter is too secretive, and both parties do not trust each other, so it is impossible to speak out.
Only Liang Yan, who transformed two spirits with one sword and had a pair of eyes in both the Dao League and the Confucian League, could see the whole story.
"There is no such coincidence in the world. Someone is plotting it secretly!"
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his intuition told him that he had discovered a huge conspiracy.
A conspiracy that involves both Taoism and Confucianism!
He took a deep breath, turned his back to Su Xiaodie, and said slowly: "Since you suspect the Dao Alliance, do you have any plans to deal with it?"
Su Xiaodie shook her head: "There is no real evidence for this matter. It is impossible to raise an army to investigate the crime just by relying on inference. However, Master also told us that we must be careful about those people from the Tao Alliance this time when discussing Taoism in the virtual realm!"
