Less than a quarter of an hour after Chen Pingzhi's soul tablet was broken in the "Soul Hall" of the ancestral temple, Chen Yaohui, the ancestor of the Chen family, received news from the guardian of the "Soul Hall".
When he received this news, the ancestor of the Chen family was receiving Zhang Yunpeng, a sixth-level monk from the Zifu who came from Huangshamen, in the cave. After he received the news, his face suddenly darkened and he almost slammed the table.
Zhang Yunpeng has been able to practice to the sixth floor of the Purple Mansion, and his ability to observe people's emotions is certainly not bad. When he saw that the ancestor of the Chen family looked wrong, he quickly asked with a look of concern: "What is it that makes Fellow Daoist Chen so lose his composure? I don't know if I want to Zhang Yunpeng."
Somewhere to help?”
"Sorry, I lost my temper."
The ancestor of the Chen family took a deep breath to calm down, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Just now, I received news from the people below that a monk from the sixth floor of the Chen family stayed in the family.
The soul card suddenly shattered and fell to the ground!"
"Is this person not in Baisha River Oasis now?"
Zhang Yunpeng's eyes flashed with strange color, but he immediately grasped the key point.
"Zhang Daoyou has a keen eye. As far as I know, these people went to explore a cave in the sand sea with a newly established monk from the Yuquan Zhou family a few days ago. The former owner of that cave must have been just a foundation-building monk. The cave he left behind,
It is unlikely that two foundation-building monks will die in danger!"
The ancestor of the Chen family nodded and opened his mouth to tell the news he knew.
As the patriarch of the Chen family, it was impossible for Chen Pingzhi not to report to him when he went on an expedition with others, so he knew where Chen Pingzhi had gone without asking others.
Zhang Yunpeng was startled when he heard his answer, and then asked with a surprised look on his face: "The Yuquan Zhou family? Could it be the family founded by Junior Brother Zhou Yuquan?"
Zhou Yuquan was already over 170 years old when he founded the Zhou family. Although Zhang Yunpeng had not yet opened the Purple Mansion at that time, he was already an eighth-level foundation-building monk with a bright future.
Unless there are masters and apprentices in the Huangshamen who have a clear master-disciple inheritance, seniority is determined by cultivation. Zhang Yunpeng called Zhou Yuquan junior brother, but he did not take advantage of anyone at all.
"It's the family that Brother Yuquan founded." The ancestor of the Chen family nodded again.
"Since it was the family founded by Junior Brother Zhou, then his descendants must have left no soul cards in the family. What is Daoyou Chen planning to do now?" Zhang Yunpeng asked this question, and he actually already had the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, when the ancestor of the Chen family heard him asking this question, he immediately replied without thinking: "The father of the Zhou family monk is outside in the market, so I will personally take him to the cave to investigate the situation.
"
"That's fine, then fellow Taoist Chen, just feel free to do it. Zhang will help Taoist Chen take care of the safety of the Baisha River Oasis." Zhang Yunpeng nodded and took the initiative to take charge of the Baisha River Oasis.
"In this case, Chen has thanked fellow Taoist Zhang in advance." The ancestor of the Chen family bowed his hand, immediately stood up and left the cave, heading straight to Ping'anfang City to look for Zhou Xuanhao.
On the other side, after Zhou Yang used the "Blood Escape Technique", he escaped for more than seventy miles. When he appeared again, he already appeared on an unnamed sand dune in the sand sea.
After revealing his body, the first thing he did was to take out a jade bottle from his storage bag, open it, pour out a purple-red elixir and swallow it.
Although this elixir is only a second-grade high-grade elixir, it is an extremely rare second-grade high-grade elixir "Purple Jade Heart Replenishing Pill" that can directly restore a monk's energy and blood loss.
The Zhou family does not have the recipe for the "Purple Jade Heart-Building Pill". Zhou Yang specially asked his father Zhou Xuanhao to buy this elixir from the Chen family. The Chen family has Chen Yaohui, the fourth-level high-grade alchemist.
, the most popular products in the family store are various elixirs.
Ordinary second-level high-grade spiritual elixirs, even those that enhance a monk's cultivation, only cost one hundred spiritual stones, but this "Purple Jade Heart-Building Pill" is different. This elixir is rare because of its rarity and the extraordinary refining materials.
, one piece is worth five hundred spirit stones, which is comparable to a second-level high-grade magic weapon.
However, when Zhou Yang took this elixir at the foundation-building stage, he was unable to maximize its effect.
Taking a "Purple Jade Heart Replenishing Pill" only made his face look a little better. If he wanted to completely replenish the energy and blood lost by using the "Blood Escape Technique", he could only rely on slow meditation and practice in the future.
However, for him now, it is better to replenish his essence and blood, and it is better to have some replenishment than not to have any replenishment.
While he was refining the medicinal power of the "Purple Jade Heart-Building Pill", he waved his sleeve and released the flying sword. He continued to fly away with the sword without daring to stop for half a quarter of an hour.
After flying thousands of miles in this way until he was sure that no one was following him, Zhou Yang lowered his sword light and escaped into the sea of sand below to recuperate.
Continuous battles and thousands of miles of running have made him exhausted in terms of both his spiritual consciousness and mana. If he doesn't take a good rest to recover, I am afraid that even a monk in the Qi training period will be able to deal with him.
He hid under the desert to recuperate, but he didn't know how much trouble Chen Pingzhi's fall and his disappearance caused.
At that time, the ancestor of the Chen family came to Ping'anfang City to find Zhou Xuanhao, and directly told the story of the shattering of the Chen Pingzhi Soul Card without any nonsense.
When Zhou Xuanhao heard the news, he was so frightened that he lost two of his three souls and was completely confused.
As a foundation-building monk, he certainly knew what the Soul Card represented, and he even knew that his son went on an adventure with Chen Pingzhi.
Now that even Chen Pingzhi, who built the sixth level of foundation, has died without any reason, what will happen to Zhou Yang, who only built the first level of foundation?
Next, Zhou Xuanhao, who was worried about his son's safety, of course agreed to the Chen family ancestor's request to take him to the site of the incident to find out the situation.
Moreover, before setting off, he specifically asked a good Liu family foundation-building monk to help pass the news to Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Yuquan Lake Oasis, by means of a flying sword, and asked Zhou Minghan to come to the Baisha River Oasis to take charge of the overall situation.
The ancestor of the Chen family had a rough map left by Chen Pingzhi at that time, and he also brought Chen Pingzhi's broken soul card with him. It didn't take much effort to find the place where Chen Pingzhi fell.
However, nearly half a day had passed since the death of Chen Pingzhi. The murderer had already destroyed the body and left the scene. The ancestors of the Chen family and Zhou Xuanhao searched the nearby sand and found nothing but a few cremated ashes on the ground.
Couldn't find any valuable clues.
Of course, that bit of ashes is actually the best clue.
"Ancestor, I didn't find the aura left by my Yang'er here. Was he not here at the time?"
Zhou Xuanhao was worried about his son's safety. At this time, he also lost his respect for the high-level monks. When he saw that the ancestor of the Chen family was just rubbing a handful of ashes in his hand without saying anything, he had to take the initiative to mention this issue.
"There are only the scents left by Pingzhi and the murderer here. Of course your son will not be here. But what I don't understand is why, when there is only one murderer, your son didn't fight with Pingzhi together?"
The ancestor of the Chen family looked at Zhou Xuanhao with cold eyes, and the words that came out of his mouth made Zhou Xuanhao's face change wildly and his heartbeat almost stopped.
"No, it won't happen. Ancestor, you have to believe in Yang'er. I dare to swear on my life that Yang'er will never take the initiative to do anything that is sorry to Senior Chen. There must be something hidden in this matter. Please be aware of it, Ancestor!"
He shook his head like a wave drum, and defended his son repeatedly with a look of fear and anxiety on his face. He did not believe that Zhou Yang would harm Chen Pingzhi at all.
"hope so!"
The ancestor of the Chen family looked at him deeply, then let go and scattered the ashes in his hand into the sea of sand.
Then he looked at Zhou Xuanhao, who looked anxious, and said in a cold voice: "Give me your hand."
As if he understood what the ancestor of the Chen family meant, Zhou Xuanhao's face lit up and he quickly stretched out his hand and handed it over.
When the ancestor of the Chen family saw this, he immediately collected a ball of Zhou Xuanhao's blood, and then started practicing the method while muttering something in his mouth.
After a while, the ancestor of the Chen family waved his hand after finishing the practice, and the blood collected from Zhou Xuanhao turned into a small blood-colored sword that flew around him three times, and then quickly moved in a certain direction in the sea of sand.
It flew past.
"The Blood Sword is looking for a relative, and my son is still alive!"
Zhou Xuanhao looked at the bloody sword flying out, his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, and he couldn't help shouting loudly.
As a foundation-building monk from a family, he certainly knew what spell the ancestor of the Chen family cast. This spell was called "Moving Heaven and Earth to Seek a Relative", and it was a fourth-level high-grade spell.
Speaking of the origin of this "spell that moved heaven and earth", it is also related to an interesting story in the world of immortality.
Legend has it that the cultivator who originally created this spell was a monk with great supernatural powers in the Nascent Soul stage. In his early years, this man fell in love with a female cultivator and gave birth to a son. Later, this man went on an adventure and was trapped in a secret realm.
I can't take a step out of the secret realm for a hundred years.
After he formed the golden elixir in the secret realm and successfully obtained the inheritance left by the master of the secret realm, he found that his cave had been occupied by others, and both his Taoist companion and his son were missing.
Later, this person began to practice while searching for his Taoist companion and son in the immortal world. Unfortunately, there was a huge sea of people, and it was hundreds of years later. Until this person later transformed into an elixir and gave birth to a baby, he still could not find his Taoist companion and son.
.
However, perhaps due to hundreds of years of unremitting obsession, this person suddenly felt something in his heart after condensing the Nascent Soul, and the interaction between his spiritual thoughts and the laws of heaven and earth created a strange person-finding spell.
By casting this unique searching spell, the powerful monk at the Nascent Soul Stage successfully used his own blood as a guide to find the descendants left behind by his son.
Because he had suffered the pain of family separation, after finding the descendants of his son, in order to prevent others from repeating his own mistakes, the Nascent Soul Master spread this missing person spell for free.
And named it the "Moving Heaven and Earth Searching Curse".
Although the "Heavenly Touching Relative Searching Spell" was created by a father who was looking for his child, the use of this spell does not necessarily require a father-son relationship. It can be a mother-son relationship, or a brother-sister relationship, as long as it is within three generations.
Anyone with any blood relationship can use this technique to find their missing relatives. If someone in the Nascent Soul stage can use this technique, the scope can be expanded to within ten generations!
Of course, the premise of all this is that the missing relative is still alive and within the search range of the spell.
The minimum requirement for casting the "Heaven-Moving and Earth-shaking Relative Searching Spell" is the late Zifu period. The ancestor of the Chen family has just enough cultivation to cast this spell. With his cultivation, the search range can be thousands of miles wide.
That's why Zhou Xuanhao screamed so excitedly after seeing the small bloody sword made of his own blood flying out. This was a sign that the spell was successfully cast.
"We'll follow."
The ancestor of the Chen family glanced at Zhou Xuanhao, who was full of joy, waved his sleeves, and directly led him to chase after the bloody sword.
