An unknown hill and a wooden house in the mountain.
As the light in Fang Chang's eyes disappeared, the struggling face of the old woman sitting cross-legged in front of him finally calmed down completely.
"Owner."
The old woman said with a dull expression.
Fang Chang slightly tilted his head, which was not unexpected.
For a month, he continued to stimulate the old woman's soul with the inner demon method, and then used the weakened version of the devil's light from the Eye of the Demon to continuously amplify her inner emotional defects. Finally, today, her inner demon awakened and took control of her body.
Of course, the inner demon is weak when it is born. Without his spiritual power to suppress the old woman, it won't take long for the inner demon to be refined by him.
If you really want to replace your soul with your inner demon, you have to control it for a long time, and the energy expended will outweigh the gain.
She's just an old woman in the Nascent Soul realm, so she's not worth the effort.
And he doesn't care about the strength of the inner demon, he just wants the memory of the inner demon.
The inner demon can be regarded as an alternative second soul, possessing most of the memory of the original body.
As for the demonic method of searching for souls, it generally only works on high-level monks and low-level monks.
And only monks who have a deep understanding of the soul can do it.
In other words, only Yuanying great monks and above have the ability to search for souls, but they can only be used on monks who are lower than themselves.
Like the old woman, if Fang Chang uses soul searching forcefully, he will only get extremely trivial memory fragments.
Fang Chang's hand grabbed the old woman's forehead, and a phantom that looked like an old woman exuding black energy was caught.
And this is the old woman's inner demon.
The devil's eyes between his brows opened, melting away the demons in his heart, and pieces of scattered and trivial memory fragments began to emerge in his mind.
Regarding Hongchen Sect, the relationship between Red Thread and Ruyan and the old woman also emerged one by one.
"I see."
After a long while, Fang Chang finally digested the old woman's memory, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
"It seems that I accidentally provoked a powerful enemy."
He couldn't help but look at Ruyan, who was sleeping soundly next to him. On her brow, there was a hint of lingering sadness.
At this moment, the old woman also woke up from her confusion. She felt as if she had lost something.
"what did you do to me?
Fang Chang said lightly: "I just used some small tricks to check your memory."
The old woman said in disbelief: "It's impossible. There are restrictions left by the young lady in my sea of consciousness. Even the God Transformation Daxiu can't search my soul. You can't even think of tricking me."
"I don't need your belief."
Fang Chang said, "There are some things hidden deep in your memory that I haven't seen. If you can tell me, I will spare your life and let you go."
After all, we don't have any deep grudges.
Even if I don't kill you, if you can't tell me, then you can only be imprisoned here until I know what I want to know.
Of course, at that time, it’s not clear whether we still have any grudge or not.”
The old woman couldn't help but think about her body, which was so painful after being beaten by the puppet.
Isn't this what you call deep hatred?
But she was silent for a moment and asked: "What else do you want to know?"
She felt that what Fang Chang said might be true.
As if to verify her guess, Fang Chang readily revealed his trump card.
"How to remove the red thread?"
The red thread is not as simple as forcing a marriage.
On the contrary, when the marriage is completed and the red thread comes into play, it is equivalent to starting a long-term state of divine punishment.
Ordinary people simply cannot bear this kind of divine punishment.
Therefore, those chosen by the red thread are those with profound blessings.
But once you are picked by the red line, your good luck will turn into low luck, and you don’t know when bad luck will come again.
As long as the red thread continues to be pulled, this bad luck will not stop.
Just as Ruyan and his red thread had just come together, Young Master Xu, who had been waiting for two years and was not in a hurry, was about to force his hand.
If he was really a useless slacker, he might just be able to watch Ruyan being snatched away without being able to do anything, and the red line would end before it even started.
If it weren't for such unpredictable consequences, Fang Chang wouldn't mind the influence of multiple red threads on his body.
After all, it’s not certain who will suffer the loss.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a woman who works hard and takes care of you without complaint?
The old woman shook her head and said: "This is the most advanced secret of Hongxian Lian. It involves the core inheritance of Hongchen Sect, and I don't know either."
"But I just want to know this."
Fang Chang sighed, as if he wanted to turn around and leave.
The old woman became anxious when she saw this and said hurriedly: "But I know who can solve it."
"who?"
"My young lady, she is the core disciple of Hongchen Sect and knows all kinds of secrets about Hongchen Sect. I am just an old maid under her."
The old woman began to show weakness.
"I can take you to find her."
Fang Chang squatted down, stared at the old woman's pretending to be nervous, and sneered:
"It seems you really don't believe what I said after looking at your memory. Your young lady is the famous Heavenly Witch, a major cultivator at the peak of divine transformation.
If I follow you to find her, will I still be alive?"
The old woman's expression tightened: "You actually read my memory, how is that possible?"
"Not only do I know that your young lady is a witch, I also know that Ruyan is the reincarnation of a ray of her mind, who came here to experience the tribulation of love in the earthly world.
And she seems to have more than one reincarnation, and you are only responsible for taking care of one of them, what does she want to do?"
Fang Chang asked coldly.
"I, I don't know!"
The old woman broke out in a cold sweat, almost exposing her biggest secret.
At this moment, she no longer had any doubts about what the commander had just said, but she didn't know how much he had seen in her memory.
Fang Chang shook his head and said, "I can probably guess even if you don't tell me. With her level of cultivation, no matter what she does, it's not without reason, and it's also inseparable from a possibility.
That is a breakthrough to a higher realm.
I guess Ruyan’s reincarnation and experiencing love tribulations are also part of her enlightenment, right?”
The old woman did not dare to speak anymore, but cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Fang Chang continued: "You said that if I secretly reveal the identity of her reincarnation... Well, a big shot like her should have many enemies?"
The old woman's forehead was sweating more and more.
The dignified Nascent Soul monk couldn't even control his body at this moment.
"You, you won't do this."
The old woman took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"You love Ruyan and will not put her in danger. Once her identity is exposed, she will die."
Fang Chang looked solemn and suddenly laughed.
"I have to say that you, old man, are really good at judging people. I really won't expose Ruyan."
"But I don't care about the news about your young lady's breakthrough through the tribulation getting out, so I'll give you some hush money.
Otherwise, I can’t control my big mouth.”
"Aren't you afraid that my lady will come to trouble you?" the old woman couldn't help but ask.
If others knew the identity of her young lady, they would already be terrified and thinking about how to make amends so as not to implicate the Shimen family.
But Fang Chang looked nonchalant and was still teasing.
Fang Chang said: "Afraid, but what's the use of being afraid? Are you afraid that things won't happen? A senior expert like the Heavenly Witch can crush me to death with one finger, so I have to jump around hard first.
Hey."
"So be happy, if you don't pay hush money, then the storm will become more violent."
The old woman said: "Have you already seen my memory, so what else don't you know? You can still take away the spiritual stones and treasures from me.
I have nothing left to give you."
"Isn't there something you haven't seen yet? It's still the same problem. Since the Heavenly Witch can't be provoked, who else knows about lifting the red string except your young lady, the Heavenly Witch?
Is there no other person in the Hongchen Sect who knows about it?"
Fang Chang asked.
The old woman replied: "The Red Thread is the core inheritance of the Red Dust Sect, and it is also a way to overcome the catastrophe of the mortal world and achieve a breakthrough in becoming a god.
How to remove it, no one knows except the Hongchen Sect itself which has gone through the major transformation of the gods.
It is true that my young lady is not the only one who knows about it, but it is also difficult to find other major spiritual transformation cultivators."
Fang Chang sighed and said: "It's all in vain, there is no one I can beat."
"It seems that I can only cause some trouble for your lady, otherwise, when she finds out that I abducted her reincarnation, she will have to make trouble for me.
Don't blame me, I'm just protecting myself.
It's a while to die a little later.
By the way, will your lady blame you for not doing things well?
I heard that the bosses of demon sects like yours are heartless and ruthless."
There was indeed a hint of fear in the old woman's eyes.
If she allowed the young lady's reincarnation to fail, she might not be able to see the sun the next day, and even her soul would have to be imprisoned and burned in a sinister furnace for hundreds of years, suffering all kinds of pain.
"There is another way!"
The old woman gritted her teeth and said:
"I know that recently there is a true successor of the Red Dust Sect who is seeking a breakthrough. He is going through the Red Dust Tribulation and cultivating the Divine Will. He must know how to untie the Red Thread."
"Tsk tsk, you really don't know how much potential you have unless I force you."
Fang Chang released his hold on the old woman, picked up Ruyan and walked out.
"Time is tight, let's talk as we go."
…
Xingning City.
This is a medium-sized city in Jingguo.
Jingguo is also a subsidiary country of Shifang Jiange. It is located next to Qingguo and has a population of tens of millions.
As for the big countries like Jingguo and Qingguo, there are four under Shifang Jiange, and there are six smaller vassal states.
These ten countries are jointly named Shifang Kingdom on the map of the entire Jinxiu Realm, and are bound to Shifang Jiange. They are also the basis for Shifang Jiange's long-term prosperity.
No matter which world we are in, talent is the most important.
There are talents.
Well, that's a long way off.
Fang Chang and the old woman flew for half a month, covering tens of thousands of miles, to arrive at this city.
If it weren't for Ruyan's physical weakness, even with the protection of magical power, he wouldn't be able to withstand the extreme speed, and this speed would be even faster.
In a teahouse in the city.
Fang Chang was sitting by the window, watching the people on the street flowing like water, and asked:
"The true successor of the Hongchen Sect you mentioned is in this city?"
The old woman had a flattering smile on her face, as if she had accepted her fate.
"Master Fang, this is the city, but at that time I just heard about it and didn't pay much attention to it.
I don’t know the exact identity of the true successor, and Mr. Fang will have to spend some time to figure it out.
If Mr. Fang can trust me, I can contact the mortal messenger here on my behalf.
If Mr. Fang can capture that person, then the true successor of the Hongchen Sect will not be able to escape."
Fang Chang couldn't help but frown.
He did not answer immediately, but secretly opened the Eye of the Demon, and a mysterious line of sight looked into the void.
There was no ambush here, and the old woman did have such a thing in her memory.
"Well, you can bring him here to see you."
"But if you need any rituals or magic techniques, I can do it for you."
Fang Chang did not give the old woman a chance to contact him privately.
The old woman accepted it naturally, which made Fang Chang secretly wonder whether he had been too nervous and had been too nervous.
Soon the old woman handed Fang Chang a magic spell.
Fang Chang performed the method according to the law, causing a mysterious energy to fill the teahouse. There was nothing unusual about it, and it was even difficult for ordinary people to detect it.
After about a cup of tea, a woman who looked like the lady next door walked into the teahouse, but none of the guests in the teahouse seemed to have noticed. Some people walked straight towards the woman, but they turned around inexplicably midway.
, avoiding women.
The woman looked around and focused on where Fang Chang was sitting.
"Who are you, and why do you know my sect's incense-drawing technique?"
The woman asked, staring at the dull-looking middle-aged man in front of her.
"No, you are not human!"
As she said this, she was about to grab someone violently, but a slightly older female voice came from the man's mouth.
"Junior sister Zhou, it's me, Qiao Yu."
"Qiao...senior sister?"
Listening to this familiar voice, the woman looked puzzled and said:
"How did you become like this?"
The man continued to speak: "Don't worry about this for now. You can go to the elm forest outside the city. I will wait for you there."
"Senior Sister Qiao, Senior Sister Qiao."
The woman continued to shout.
But the man had regained his sluggish expression, stood up and walked out. When the woman reached out to grab him, her expression changed.
"puppet?"
She put down the puppet, jumped out of the window, and flew out of the city.
But no one noticed her such a big move, as if everything was normal.
…
Twenty miles west of the city, there is a dense elm forest.
Fang Chang nodded slightly towards the old woman.
"You're not playing any tricks."
The old woman smiled bitterly and said: "Junior sister Zhou, like me, was once a servant girl under the young lady. It was because of the grace of the young lady that we are where we are today.
Mr. Fang, please show mercy when the time comes, and if she confesses honestly, please don't embarrass her."
Fang Chang nodded: "This is natural."
But there was still something wrong in his heart, and things went smoothly unexpectedly.
But the woman and the old woman were both under his surveillance at the moment, so what little tricks could they do?
If we capture her directly later, will there be any problems?
Soon, the woman fell into the elm forest, and the old woman was waiting in front.
A smile appeared on her face.
"Sister Qiao."
The old woman smiled back: "Junior sister Zhou."
"It's now!"
The old woman suddenly shouted.
The woman immediately turned her palm over and pulled out a pure black talisman. It was like a black hole. The moment it was taken out, it swallowed up all the light and blocked all sight.
Fang Chang, who was hiding in the dark, changed his expression drastically.
There is indeed a trap.
But even he couldn't see clearly what was happening in the black hole at the first time.
"court death!"
The magic eye seed that was melted into the sea of consciousness of the old woman exploded instantly.
Then he ran away without looking back.
In the dark.
The old woman vomited blood, and layers of black energy appeared on her face.
"Junior sister Zhou, hurry up, it's too late. The summoning talisman is on my arm. It can awaken the young lady's consciousness. We can't let the red thread fail."
When the woman heard this, she immediately tore open the old woman's clothes and pinched the old woman's clothes with her hands. She saw a golden talisman appearing on the wrinkled skin, like a tattoo.
"Hold it."
The woman held down her arm and stretched out her hand to tear it apart. The old woman let out a painful groan, and her energy and energy instantly dropped by several percent. The injury was actually much more serious than the previous beating by the puppet.
The woman didn't have time to look after the old woman, and the magic power was suddenly activated inward as if it was free of money. Soon the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, turning into a spiritual light in the air and disappearing far away.
