When Huan Qianqian's soul was forcibly awakened from coma by an external force, she groaned and opened her eyes, and was frightened half to death by what she saw.
On the ruins of the devil city with the cold wind, she saw about a dozen men, old and young, surrounding her in the center. Ten pairs of eyes were staring at her without blinking, with cold light flashing in their eyes, full of malice.
.
She was swept away by these malicious glances, and countless goose bumps suddenly appeared on her naked body, and her whole body shivered and shrank into a ball.
At this time, if an unrelated person comes and sees this scene, as long as he has a little bit of justice, he will definitely jump out to "do justice" and act bravely.
However, this place has just experienced a war. Apart from Zhou Yang and other Nascent Soul monks, who else dares to come here without risking his life?
The ten Nascent Soul cultivators had never seen anything like this before. Although the witch Huan Qianqian was extremely beautiful, her trembling appearance was even more pitiful. I felt pity for her, but I couldn't arouse any sympathy from them.
Nie Yushuang even scolded her with a cold eyebrow: "Shameless bitch, put away your little tricks, be wise and tell the truth about the situation you know, and we will allow you to fight on your own. If you don't know the wise,
, I have my own means to make it impossible for you to survive or die!"
"What explanation? What do you want me to explain? I don't know what you mean!"
Huan Qianqian looked up at Nie Yushuang with doubtful eyes. After meeting Nie Yushuang's piercing cold gaze, her body trembled again and she couldn't help but said: "I really don't know what you are talking about. I know that I am falling behind."
If it falls into the hands of immortal cultivators like you, it will definitely not end well. You can kill or chop it up as you please. I can’t lie to you."
After saying that, she didn't care whether Nie Yushuang, Zhou Yang and others believed it or not, she simply lay down and closed her eyes as if she was at your mercy.
"He is indeed a shameless devil!"
Master Qingyang couldn't help but cursed and turned his head away, not wanting to stain his eyes.
He has been practicing for more than a thousand years and has never been close to a woman. Although he is determined and is not afraid of being tempted by the witch's appearance, he does not want his eyes to be stained by this shameless witch.
Although Zhou Yang and other Nascent Soul cultivators didn't care about this, they didn't have the habit of looking at the female devil's naked body together.
Especially with the support of Master Qingyang, everyone is not willing to ruin their reputation due to a small mistake.
Immediately, Zhou Yang casually waved his hand and threw a yellow robe obtained from an unknown ghost on the witch, covering most of her naked body.
Then he met Nie Yushuang's probing gaze, shook his head slightly and said, "Master Nie, please forgive me, but Zhou has no way of judging whether the witch is lying. After all, damage to the soul leads to the loss of certain memories. There is no precedent in the world of immortality."
."
The witch who was lying on the ground waiting to die heard what he said. Although she didn't show any emotion on her face, she was overjoyed in her heart and couldn't help but feel proud of her own wit.
But she didn't feel proud for long before she was angered by Zhou Yang's next words. She didn't even care whether there would be any flaws. Her body couldn't stop trembling and her heart felt cold.
"In Zhou's opinion, since we can't get the answer we want from this witch, we might as well take her back first, and then let Master Nie use the soul-searching technique to search her soul. Then we will naturally know what she said
Is it true or false?"
Zhou Yang talked about the soul-searching technique with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care at all that this was a forbidden technique that was forbidden to cultivators.
When Nie Yushuang and others heard what he said, no one thought it was unacceptable or spoke out to refute.
Only Master Qingyang murmured in a low voice: "To deal with these evil monsters, there is really no need to care about such small details."
"Who dares! Who of you dares to search for my soul? Even if my soul is destroyed, I will never let him have an easy time!"
Huan Qianqian finally couldn't bear it any longer, and screamed in protest with a mixture of shock and anger on her face.
It's just that the ban on her body has not been lifted yet, and she cannot use any of her magic power. Such words are treated as a joke in the ears of the cultivators.
Nie Yushuang didn't even look at her face, so she decided on the spot and said: "That's it, take her back first, and when Nie is ready, we will search her soul to investigate the situation."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a ray of cold air fell on Huan Qianqian, instantly sealing her in a piece of ice, leaving her without a chance to speak.
After doing this, Nie Yushuang looked at Zhou Yang with a smile on his face and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed very powerful. He can even capture a witch with this level of Nascent Soul cultivation alive. If we can detect the secrets from this witch this time,
For the secret of the magic cultivator, Nie will definitely prepare a heavy gift to thank fellow Taoist!"
When Zhou Yang released the witch Huanqianqian, he thought that it would attract the attention of the cultivators. At this time, facing Nie Yushuang's praise, he could only smile bitterly and cup his hands and said: "There is quite an element of luck in this. Zhou is ashamed.
I dare not take such compliments seriously."
After hearing his words, Nie Yushuang understood that he did not want to say more about this matter. In this case, he certainly would not offend him, a great hero.
Dangjie stopped talking and said, "Nie was negligent. We all have a big battle today and you all need a good rest. I'll go back and rest soon. I'll talk to you later if there's anything I need to do."
When all the cultivators heard this, they all understood in their hearts, and no one wanted to say more about this matter. At that moment, they all took Nie Yushuang's flying boat magic weapon back to the Ice City.
After returning to the city, Zhou Yang first visited Xiao Ying, a Taoist monk who was healing some injured monks in the city, and told him about the battle, and then entered the cave arranged for him to meditate and recover.
He did not suffer any serious injuries in this battle, but when he attacked the witch Huan Qianqian with the "God-killing Sword", his consciousness was too much and he needed to rest for some time before he could fully recover.
Therefore, after meditating for two days to regain his mana and energy, he took advantage of the situation and took stock of his gains from this battle.
In this battle, he killed a demon cultivator and captured a demon cultivator. The dead demon cultivator was refined by him, including his body and magical weapons. Naturally, he gained nothing.
However, before handing over the witch Huan Qianqian to Nie Yushuang, he had already taken off the storage ring from her body.
At this time, he took out the storage ring, and regardless of whether its owner was still alive, he forcibly erased the original owner's spiritual brand inside, and then took out everything inside.
There are no disgusting corpses or organs of monks, nor are there many dark and resentful demonic materials. The contents of the storage ring of the witch Huanqianqian are simply "clean" compared to her status as a demonic cultivator.
It's incredible.
Demonic cultivators are wreaking havoc on the world of immortal cultivation in Beiting Continent. Countless sects, families and individual monks have been poisoned by them. Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators like Huan Qianqian naturally have accumulated a lot of looting proceeds.
The Beitingzhou Immortal Realm is rich in cold iron, ice jade and other materials. In Huan Qianqian’s storage ring, Zhou Yang obtained a large amount of materials such as [Thousand-Year Cold Iron], [Thousand-Year Ice Jade], [Ice Crystal Xuan Jade], [Ice Soul Xuan]
Crystals] and other fifth-level ice attribute spiritual objects, and even several sixth-level spiritual objects such as [Ten Thousand Years Black Jade] and [Ten Thousand Years Cold Iron] were found.
However, the things that satisfied Zhou Yang the most were not these refining materials, but a [Snow Soul Bead], a bottle of [Cold Jade Essence], and a [Millennium Ice Soul Grass].
[Snow Soul Bead] is a special product of the Arctic Icefield. It can only be found in the body of a special monster "Snow Essence Beast" that lives on the Arctic Icefield.
This "Snow Essence Mysterious Beast" is not very strong, and any Golden Core Stage monk will have a chance to kill it.
However, the number of this object is extremely rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is seen once in a hundred years. It is also very vigilant and very proficient in the magical power of escape.
The [Snow Soul Bead] obtained from the body of the "Snow Essence Mysterious Beast" can be said to be one of the best spiritual objects for ice-based martial arts cultivators to refine the natal magic weapon. If this object is used to refine the natal magic weapon, there is a
The wonderful thing that ordinary spiritual objects absolutely do not have is that you can directly increase the power of the magic weapon by fusing the second and third [Snow Soul Beads], or even upgrade it beyond the level!
The Beitingzhou Nascent Soul cultivator Lu Hongyi, who Zhou Yang had rescued in the battle in the Demon City, the sixth-level medium-grade magic weapon [Ice Soul Cold Jade Bead] in his hand was made using [Snow Soul Bead] as the main material.
The natal magic weapon made of it.
Zhou Yang has no use for this item, but he can give it to his disciple Lu Xuewei to help him increase the power of his natal magical weapon [Ice Soul Mysterious Pearl].
As for the bottle of [Cold Jade Essence], Zhou Yang planned to use it for himself. Neither he nor Taoist companion Xiao Ying had ever used this object to temper physical mana. The bottle of [Cold Jade Essence] obtained this time
, the quantity is more than fifty drops, which is barely enough for the two of them.
The last [Millennium Ice Soul Grass] can be used to refine a rare spiritual elixir [Ice Soul Pill]. If a monk takes this elixir in advance, most illusions and ecstasy spells will not be able to take effect on him.
This elixir is said to have some effect even on monks who have overcome the "Heart Demon Tribulation".
In addition to the above treasures, Witch Huanqianqian's storage ring also contains many elixirs, spiritual talismans, and magic weapons used by immortal cultivators. Although these things are of no use to Zhou Yang, they are all high-end goods that have reached the fourth or fifth level.
, the value is not low.
In addition, in his storage ring, Zhou Yang also found seventeen [Spirit Marrow Stones], nearly two hundred high-grade spiritual stones, and more than fifty thousand medium-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, as a demon cultivator, even though the contents of his storage ring can be called "clean" in Zhou Yang's eyes, it is impossible that there are no demonic things at all.
Zhou Yang did not burn all these demonic objects like the demonic objects he had obtained in the past. Instead, he inspected and analyzed everything first, and then picked out those things that he felt were unnecessary and must be destroyed.
Everything that was left was burned cleanly.
There were not many things he picked out, only five or six items, among which three were jade slips.
The other three items were a white transparent gauze garment that looked like it was woven from clouds, an animal skin magic talisman, and a dark black crystal stone the size of a thumb.
Let’s talk about the white transparent gauze first. This is a magic weapon made by the witch Huan Qianqian using some rare silkworm silk combined with the secret method of magic. As long as you put on the gauze, you can immediately enter the invisible state without leaking any breath.
Zhou Yang tried it and found that even with his powerful spiritual consciousness, if someone put on this gauze and stood still, he would have to carefully scan inch by inch to find any abnormalities.
However, this effect only occurs when you are stationary. If you put on gauze and continue flying, the invisibility effect will be much worse, and even a Nascent Soul stage monk can detect it.
Even with this shortcoming, this object is still a rare treasure, even if it is a magic weapon.
Let’s talk about the animal skin magic talisman. This talisman was identified by Zhou Yang and it seemed to contain an escape magical power, perhaps the same magical power that the witch Huan Qianqian had at that time, which had dozens of clones.
Although this object is a magic talisman, there is a hidden danger of demonic energy entering the body after use. However, if you really encounter a critical moment and need to use this object to escape, then compared with escaping with your life, the demonic energy that has penetrated into the body will be lost.
It's nothing at all.
Therefore, Zhou Yang still kept this thing as a backup.
Finally, talking about the thumb-sized black crystal stone, Zhou Yang could not tell its origin. The only thing he could feel was that it contained extremely pure demonic energy.
In his opinion, even the demonic energy overflowing from the space crack in the "Death Sand Sea" is far less pure than the demonic energy contained in this jet black crystal.
And when he discovered this object, he somehow thought of the best spiritual stone.
The spiritual energy contained in the best spiritual stones is also extremely pure, and can even be used to help Yuanying stage monks break through the bottleneck of their cultivation.
In Zhou Yang's opinion, if there is something called a magic stone, this jet black crystal can definitely be called a "top quality magic stone".
It's just that he has never heard of such a thing as a magic stone.
Because this object is just a condensed pure demonic energy, and it is something he has never heard of, Zhou Yang also felt that it would be a pity to destroy it directly, so he planned to keep it for now, and later find an opportunity to ask Master Qingyang and others for advice.
Identify the item and then decide what to do with it.
At this moment, after playing with the three items and studying them for a while, he put them into the storage ring, and then looked at the remaining three jade slips with a solemn expression.
What are recorded in these three jade slips are the magic skills practiced by the witch Huan Qianqian, as well as many secret techniques and secrets of magic.
According to the rules of the world of cultivating immortals, once such magical skills are discovered, they must be destroyed to prevent anyone from being tempted to practice magical skills and fall into the devil's path.
However, Zhou Yang knew very early on that the secret techniques of magic were not completely without merit. Some secret techniques could be practiced and used even by immortal cultivators, and it was not necessary to practice magic in order to use them.
Such is the case with the "Blood Escape Technique" and "Blood Boiling Technique" that he used to escape several life and death crises.
Although the techniques of the Phantom Demon Path are also demonic techniques, they are undoubtedly much gentler than the evil demonic techniques of the Blood Demon Path, which are blood-sucking exercises.
It’s just that magic power is magic power after all. Even if it has some merits, it is impossible for Zhou Yang to practice it.
Therefore, after he took a brief look at the method of practicing the magic skills, he simply crushed the jade slip into pieces, completely destroying the method of practicing the magic skills.
Then he continued to pick up the jade slips that recorded many secrets of magic and looked at them.
This jade slip contains more than a dozen very practical magical powers and secret techniques. However, most of these magical powers and secret techniques can only be practiced and used by demonic monks. The secret techniques that can really be used by immortal cultivators like Zhou Yang,
There are only three kinds.
These three secret techniques are "Fascinating Immortal Sound", "Fantasy Butterfly Dream Induction", and "Soul Seizing Technique".
"Fascinating Immortal Sound" is a musical magical power that can only be practiced by female monks. Its function is just like the name of this magical power. It can charm the mind and make people do what they want.
"Fantasy Butterfly Dream Induction" is an extremely mysterious secret technique of using spiritual consciousness. After practicing this method, you can turn part of your spiritual consciousness into an illusory butterfly to attract people into dreams, and what the person in the dream is thinking about is
Everything you think can be clearly understood.
The best thing is that people who have been affected by the "Fantasy Butterfly Dream" technique will not remember that they have had this experience when they wake up afterwards.
It's just that this technique is difficult to work on Nascent Soul stage monks. Even if it succeeds by luck, the other party will clearly remember what happened afterwards.
Zhou Yang once wanted to destroy the secret technique of "Soul Seizing Technique", but in the end he held back.
This technique is actually a very vicious "occult control technique". The monks who have been subjected to the "Soul Seizing Technique" not only have their life and death controlled by others, but even their actions and thoughts can be controlled by others.
Moreover, this technique can be successfully performed by force on people, and does not have to be accepted voluntarily like the "God Control Technique".
As long as Zhou Yang is willing, he can first capture a golden elixir stage monk, and then use the "Soul Seizing Technique" to forcibly enslave and control the other person, and prevent the other person from even thinking of committing suicide!
Of course, this technique is not without its flaws. First of all, if this technique is used forcefully, it can only be used on monks whose cultivation level is one level lower than your own, and it may not be successful.
Secondly, every time the "Soul Seizing Technique" is performed on a monk, it will put a certain pressure on the soul of the person who performs the spell. The higher the cultivation level of the enslaved person, the greater the pressure. If the pressure exceeds the upper limit of the soul of the enslaver,
, which will cause serious backlash.
Finally, there are the monks who are enslaved by the "Soul Seizing Technique". Their cultivation level will no longer improve. If they do not get rid of their slavery for one day, their cultivation level will remain at the current level.
Calculated in this way, among the three secret arts, Zhou Yang can actually practice only "Huanbutterfly Dream Induction".
He was indeed quite interested in this secret technique, and he tried to practice it at that time.
In fact, this secret technique of "Fantasy Butterfly Meng Yin" is not difficult for Nascent Soul stage monks to practice. It should be said that it is very easy.
It only took Zhou Yang almost ten days to successfully master this technique, and sent an illusory butterfly conceived by a ray of his own consciousness to a foundation-building monk who was meditating in the ice city, and successfully put it in front of a foundation-building monk who was meditating.
Pulled into a dream.
Just like what is said in the secret technique, the monk who is pulled into the dream by the phantom butterfly has no way of sensing anything in the outside world, and all his thoughts are known to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang could even use dreams to give hints to the monk, causing him to act according to his hints in a daze.
And when he dispersed the dream, the foundation-building monk had completely forgotten what happened in the dream, and was still meditating in the room, unaware that there was a fourth-level magic weapon in his storage bag that did not originally belong to him.
.
"No wonder there are always endless demon cultivators in this world to kill. There are so many weird and secret techniques in the magic way. If I had any bad intentions just now, I would use this technique to lure that junior into a demon to practice magic. He
I’ll probably do it without realizing it!”
Zhou Yang put away his secret skills and thought about what just happened, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He has always known that demonic skills are weird, but the more he knows, the more he understands that it is simply impossible to completely kill all demonic cultivators.
Even if all the immortal cultivators in the world can resist the temptation to practice magic skills quickly, as long as there is still a high-level demon cultivator, they will have a way to pass on the magic skills.
He shook his head helplessly. He did not think about this unsolvable problem anymore. Instead, he looked out the window, frowned and whispered: "It has been a while, and I don't know how things are going in Zhenren Nie's place. Why?"
No news has come yet?"
Nie Yushuang did not suffer any serious injuries in the previous fight with the "Master Tianzhi". Zhou Yang had been back for almost half a month and had not yet received the results of the soul search for the witch Huan Qianqian. This made him feel
I couldn't help but have an unpleasant feeling.
Zhou Yang's feeling was very accurate. The next day after he had this feeling, Nie Yushuang asked someone to invite him over.
When he arrived at Nie Yushuang's cave, he found that Master Qingyang had also been invited here. It should be said that almost all the Nascent Soul monks who could move around in the Ice City were here.
"Nie is ashamed. I don't know what kind of secret technique that witch has practiced. Her soul is as hard as a stone. Even if Nie asked someone to set up a special formation to assist, she could not break through her soul's protection and find any useful information!"
Not long after Zhou Yang arrived, Nie Yushuang looked at him with shame and helplessness and told him the results of the soul search.
Hearing this result, everyone else, not to mention Zhou Yang, also frowned.
No one doubts Nie Yushuang's strength. As a "half-step true immortal" at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, his magical powers and spiritual consciousness are absolutely superior to all the monks present.
Since even his personal actions, supplemented by special formations, could not successfully pry away the witch Huan Qianqian's Soul Search, then there must be no chance for the others.
Xu Tianlin immediately said: "Even fellow Taoist Nie couldn't successfully search for the witch's soul. The soul search seems to be unworkable, but I don't know what the purpose of Master Nie is in calling us today?"
Hearing this, Nie Yushuang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The main reason for inviting all fellow Taoists here today is to brainstorm and ask all fellow Taoists to think of any clever tricks that can make the witch speak and take the initiative to explain the conspiracy of those demon cultivators and the specific number of people there.
."
After speaking, he paused, glanced at the faces of Zhou Yang and other people from the Immortal Cultivation World in Liuyun Continent, and said loudly: "One more thing is that Nie has received news that the Immortal Cultivation World in Donghua Continent and Tiannan Continent
The reinforcements from the Immortal Cultivation World will arrive together in seven days."
