The so-called holy beasts of the Mulan people are monster beasts in the spiritual world. Their physical cultivation is not integrated, but they are also refined, and their magical powers are far beyond the imagination of immortal cultivators in this world.
The reason why such powerful monsters are willing to protect the human race in the human world certainly has its own purpose.
Generally speaking, it is to avoid disaster.
In the spirit world, those who have cultivated a level above the realm of refining the void have to survive a great tribulation every three thousand years, and each time they survive the next great tribulation, they will become much more powerful and will grow as their strength increases.
The highest number of human and monster races that have survived the Great Tribulation is 20 times. In order not to perish under the Great Tribulation, a small number of monsters will choose to sneak their incarnations into the lower realm.
In this way, even if the real body disappears in the great catastrophe, as long as the external incarnation is still there, it is not considered a complete death and there is still a chance to rebuild.
But this ascension is difficult, and the lower realm is even more difficult. Without the cooperation of the creatures in the lower realm, it is basically impossible.
From ancient times to the present, the Mulan people have gone through countless efforts, but they have still not been able to welcome the incarnation of the sacred beast into the human world, which shows how difficult it is.
But once they succeed, the benefits will be huge.
There is no problem in cultivating the incarnation of this kind of holy beast to the realm of divine transformation, but of course this will take a very long time.
In addition, the incarnation of the holy beast also has benefits that can be given immediately. The soft ones include magical skills and secrets from the spiritual world. The hard ones include the ability to borrow more inter-dimensional power through holy objects, which is equivalent to having an extra great person in the late Nascent Soul stage in the clan.
A monk is one whose magical powers far exceed those of the same level!
So if this matter is related to the Holy Beast of Mulan, it is also related to the war between the Mulan people and the Tiannan Xiuxian World decades later.
Since this battle is about the life and death of the Mulan people, Luo Hong believes that the other party is willing to pay a huge price, and it is reasonable to even bring in the Mulan Divine Master.
Thinking of this, Luo Hong hurriedly checked the storage bags of the three Mulan Masters, for fear of leaving any trace marks.
As it turned out, no one would know unless they checked, but upon checking, they were shocked to find that there was a bloody pebble in the storage bags of these three people.
Luo Hong hurriedly collected the few valuables among them, grabbed Fan Mengyi, and used a Four Elephant Moving Talisman.
After a flash of four-color light, the two of them were teleported to an underground safe house hundreds of miles away that Luo Hong had created using Earth Escape Technique.
Less than half an hour later, a middle-aged Confucian scholar appeared in the guest room where Luo Hong had stayed. He first glanced around with a gloomy expression, and then released his spiritual consciousness to investigate the situation within two hundred miles around.
In the end, the middle-aged Confucian scholar, who gained nothing, frowned, took a picture of the storage bags of the three people with painted faces, and disappeared silently.
In a manor dozens of miles away from the small city, the figure of a middle-aged Confucian scholar gradually appeared. Three figures sitting cross-legged suddenly opened their eyes. One of them, a magician in a bright red robe, asked:
"Master Zhong, have you caught the monk who killed the three members of my clan?"
"This person discovered the blood-stained stone in the storage bag in time, and decisively escaped using space magic or talismans.
When the divine master arrived, the spatial fluctuations were extremely weak and could not be traced."
The middle-aged Confucian scholar frowned and shook his head, looking distressed.
"This person is so cunning!"
The red-robed sorcerer gritted his teeth and said that the three dead sorcerers were all elite members of his tribe and were very likely to become masters in the future, but they all died in a matter of seconds.
"Judging from the speed at which the soul lamps of the three clan members of Master He were extinguished, they must have been attacked by Nascent Soul Stage monks.
Master Zhong, do you think our plan has been known to the Nine Nations Alliance?"
The skinny old man among the three people didn't care about the life or death of the three magicians in the alchemy stage, but only cared about their decades-long plan.
"When I arrived at the scene, I did not encounter any monks from the Nine Nations Alliance, and the spy who stole the information was already dead.
Therefore, the unknown Yuanying monk is the only one who may know our plan."
"Wouldn't that mean the Nine Nations Alliance knew about it?"
The red-robed mage suddenly clenched his fists and said.
"Haha, I don't think that's necessarily the case."
The last one among the three people, a woman with very big earlobes and a happy face, actually smiled and said.
"Oh? What do you think Mrs. Yang has to say?"
The priest surnamed Zhong asked with great interest.
"We never showed up when it came to hunting down spies. It is absolutely impossible for the Nascent Soul Stage monk who attacked and killed people to know of our existence.
Judging from what happened at the inn, the other party only discovered the tracking mark after leaving the place where the incident occurred.
Therefore, this person fled from the scene of the incident to the inn not to hide from us, but to hide from the Yue Sect monks.
In other words, not only is this person not a Nascent Soul cultivator within the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, he actually has some rifts with the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.
If we deduce this, then this person may not have deliberately attacked, but just happened to see the scene where three members of Master He's tribe poisoned the spy. He stayed for a moment out of curiosity, but was discovered by Master He's tribe.
Master He, I remember that your tribe has a supernatural power that reaches the sky, can any of your three tribesmen practice it?"
After the big-eared woman made a clear analysis, she turned to the red-robed sorcerer and asked.
"Feng Yue, a member of my clan, is extremely talented and has indeed developed a spiritual eye that reaches the sky.
But it was neither a sneak attack nor a sneak attack. When the three of them discovered that the other party was a Nascent Soul stage monk, they immediately either scattered and ran away, or sent a letter asking for help. How could they be eliminated in a short period of time?
Could it be... that the Nascent Soul stage monk restrained his aura at the beginning, causing the three of them to misjudge and decide to kill and silence them?"
The more the red-robed master thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, because according to the big-eared woman's inference, it was very possible that this person had a rift with the Nine-Nation Alliance, and that he would restrain his aura and keep a low profile within its territory.
If that's the case, it's really bad luck.
"Everyone knows that the ten deadly poisons attack very quickly. As long as the unknown Yuanying stage monk did not intend to save people, the spy should have died before he finished killing the three members of Master He's clan.
Therefore, I think the spy most likely did not leak the information."
The big-eared woman concluded confidently.
Her inference was not wrong. Luo Hong did not have time to talk to the monk in black, but she ignored Fan Mengyi's existence.
Fan Mengyi never made a move from beginning to end, so no breath remained.
"In the end, I'm still not 100% sure."
The skinny old man still said uneasy.
"This time our plan is related to the lower realm of the holy beast and the life and death of the Mulan clan. We cannot give up as long as possible.
Master He, order your spies to monitor every move of the Hidden Moon Sect. If nothing happens, we will act accordingly!"
Divine Master Zhong made the final decision with blazing eyes.
...
In the nameless green mountain, where the black-clothed monk died, all that was left was his clothes and a pool of dark poisonous blood.
There were disciples of the Hiding Moon Sect all around, including many elders in the Dan Formation stage, and Qi Yunxiao was among them.
After a moment, a ray of white light flew from the sky, reached over the unknown green mountain, and transformed into a beautiful woman wearing a veil. It was Nangong Wan who had already reached the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.
"Uncle Nangong!"
The elders of Jiedan here came forward one after another to pay their respects.
"How's it going?"
She already knew what happened through the transmission talismans, so what Nangong Wan was asking now was the results of everyone's investigation.
"Two people died here. One person's body was shattered everywhere, and the other person was also smashed into pieces by a giant object. No storage bag was found.
In addition, a few miles away, we also found a headless body, and the storage bag was also taken away.
The storage bag of the disciple who was poisoned is still there, but there is nothing valuable in it."
Fairy Nishang flew to Nangong Wan and reported in detail. Then she changed her tone and said suspiciously:
"Senior Linghu arrived before I arrived, and is now drinking tea on that hilltop."
"Ancestor Linghu?"
Nangong Wan's eyebrows furrowed. The appearance of Ancestor Linghu made the already confusing situation even more confusing. She decided to go and meet him in person.
"Nishang, you take the people back to the sect first, and I'll go see the old senior."
After receiving the response from Fairy Nishang, Nangong Wan flashed her light and landed on the top of the mountain where the ancestor Linghu was. He saw that he had used magic to build a stone pavilion and was drinking tea leisurely.
Nangong Wan felt slightly unhappy in her heart, but she walked closer and said with a normal expression:
"Fellow Daoist Linghu, you were here first, do you know what happened here?"
"Can't Fellow Taoist Nangong see it? It's just a murderous and treasure-hunting game."
Ancestor Linghu said with a relaxed expression.
"If fellow Taoist Linghu is tempted, there is no need to use ten deadly poisons to kill people and seize treasures. Treasure seizers are really extravagant.
The monk who was poisoned was an internal agent planted by our sect among the Mulan people. Without important information, he would never make a move.
This matter concerns the Mulan people, and fellow Taoist Huang Maple Valley is also involved. If you know anything, please tell me frankly."
Nangong Wan's eyes narrowed and she said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"The Mulan people are our formidable enemies, so I won't joke about this kind of thing.
I am only one step earlier than the disciples of your sect, and I don’t know more than the disciples of your sect.
but....."
Ancestor Linghu changed his tone, looked directly into Nangong Wan's eyes and said:
"For those who killed those three Mulan Masters, I can roughly guess that fellow Taoist Nangong has ever heard of Luo Hong's name?"
The high-level monks who have been in this area recently are most likely participants in the trade fair. Among them, there are only a few participants who have the ability to kill three powerful high-level magicians.
As for the few people known to Ancestor Linghu, they would not cause the current disturbance, and only the fake infant casual cultivator Luo Hong could be excluded.
"Luo Hong?"
Nangong Wan thought back thoughtfully, and suddenly a shameful and dusty memory was opened. She remembered a name she had seen when she was investigating Han Li, and her expression changed.
Sure enough she knew!
Ancestor Linghu's heart sank. He happened to pass through this place from Dujian Peak to the Hidden Moon Sect. He suspected that Luo Hong was a monk secretly trained by the Hidden Moon Sect, so he specially waited for Nangong Wan here.
The results of the test really made Ancestor Linghu feel uneasy.
The current great elder of the Hidden Moon Sect is an ambitious man. If there is another Nascent Soul cultivator in the sect, his life in Huang Maple Valley will be difficult!
In an instant, Ancestor Linghu had already considered whether to unite with the Jujian Sect and other sects to deal with the oppression of the Hidden Moon Sect in the future.
"I only know one monk named Luo Hong.
In the past, one of the disciples of Elder Li Huayuan from your noble sect had this name."
Nangong Wan looked at Ancestor Linghu strangely, doubting the other party's intention of asking questions knowingly.
"Are you a disciple of my sect?"
Ancestor Linghu was shocked. All the strategies he had thought up in his mind were in vain, and he suddenly lost his intention to talk to Nangong Wan.
"We will talk about this later."
After leaving these words, he hurriedly fled to Huang Maple Valley.
