Master Wu Nian smiled quite happily, as if he was not talking about himself.
Hu Erniang: "..."
"Master, so you know what happened to Xuanyan Sect?"
"You probably know a little bit!" Master Wu Nian replied, "Daoxuan is possessed by a demon, and Junior Sister Lu also has problems."
"and you……"
"At first, I took the initiative to hide in the Enlightenment Tower, but later they locked me up." Master Wu Nian laughed.
The three people looked at each other.
This result is similar to what they thought, but different.
Bai Mengjin and Ling Bufei discussed that if something went wrong with Elder Lu and Master Cui, then Master Wu Nian would most likely use the Enlightenment Tower to compete with them.
This is what Master Wu Nian said before, but the subsequent development is a bit strange.
So Master Wu Nian slowly talked about his experience.
"Decades ago, I forget exactly how long ago, my nephew Yanzhi suddenly came to see me. Seeing that he was in a heavy mood, I thought he had a problem with his cultivation, so I explained it. Before leaving, Yanzhi told me,
If something happens to him, please ask me to take care of his wife and children."
Master Wu Nian paused for a moment, remembering the situation in the past, sighed, and continued: "Sure enough, something happened to Yanzhi when he went out. The master said that he was deceived by the female devil and took an evil path. But I thought of him.
That sentence always seems to have a hidden meaning."
"Not long after, my senior brother passed away, and Dao Xuan took over as the leader. I was in a bottleneck at that time, so I told Dao Xuan a few words, asking him not to anger Yanzhi's wife and children, so that he could take care of the children and grow up, so I went into seclusion.
"Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, I came out of confinement and found that the child was not treated leniently."
Ling Bufei calculated the time, and based on Leng Yanzhi's clue, it was estimated that Master Cui had been possessed by the devil for at least eighty years, and it was unknown for hundreds of years.
"What happened next?" Bai Mengjin asked softly, "What did you do that led to the subsequent drastic changes?"
"I scolded Daoxuan." Master Wu Nian spread his hands, "I used to have a bad temper, and I didn't care whether he became the leader or not. Daoxuan actually listened to the training seriously, and I didn't take it to heart.
Come on, let’s go find Junior Sister Lu.”
Master Wu Nian chuckled twice: "Guess what? Junior Sister Lu secretly raised things that she shouldn't have, and I discovered the clues. I noticed that something was wrong with the school, and a lot of changes seemed to have happened. But at the beginning, I just
I put the focus on Junior Sister Lu, but after checking, it seems that Daoxuan also has a problem. Maybe I moved too much and let them notice, and then..."
"You escaped into the Tower of Enlightenment."
Master Wu Nian nodded: "Yes! I didn't have time to go out to report the news, so I had to escape into the Enlightenment Tower. This tower is my life's work, and there are many restrictions. With these, I can grind against them."
Hu Erniang interjected: "When Zhenren was young, his attainments in formations were the best among formation masters. It is indeed true to think so. However, how could it happen later..."
"Blame me for being too arrogant!" Master Wu Nian smiled bitterly, "Daoxuan's talent is not very high, and Junior Sister Lu is just okay. I think I'm better than them. As long as I stay in the tower for decades, my cultivation will be better."
Go up one floor and you can break out of the tower. Even if you can't defeat them and join forces, you can go to the Wuji Sect for help."
"This idea is correct." Bai Mengjin commented, "Relatively speaking, it is a safe strategy. However, if you give the initiative to others, you will naturally become passive."
"What you said is right, little girl." Master Wu Nian agreed, "I thought about it later, and this is the problem. I was locked in the tower to practice my secret skills, and the two people outside the tower were not idle. I didn't know who they were afterward.
I thought of a vicious way to use the mountain-protecting formation to consume my restraint, come on, I can't stand it anymore!"
No wonder the mountain-protecting formation and the prohibition of the Enlightenment Tower are connected. Here’s the reason.
Bai Mengjin said: "I guess this method was not what Master Cui thought of, nor was it what Elder Lu thought of."
Master Wu Nian was surprised: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that... they still have accomplices?!"
He reacted quickly and guessed the truth.
Ling Bufei nodded: "You don't know that there is actually an unknown force in the world of immortality. It started from the spiritual conference more than thirty years ago..."
He told the story of how the spiritual practice meeting was almost interrupted by the Night Demon, the rumors spread during the Battle of Minghe River, the discovery of the Faceless Man in Yaowang Valley, and finally the appearance of the Star Reaching Tower.
Master Wu Nian almost couldn't close his mouth and murmured: "The world of immortality without me is really wonderful..."
"Then, we were attracted by Master Cui." Ling Bufei added the last step, "Master Cui is one of the Faceless Men. What you have to face is not the two of them, but a force that you don't know the depth of.
"
"..." Master Wu Nian shook his head, feeling a little regretful, "If I had known earlier, I should have run away. If nothing else, Yuan Shen would have been able to escape. It's just that I was reluctant at that time and always wanted to protect myself.
Flesh."
Even the cultivators who transform themselves into spirits have fewer options to choose after losing their physical bodies. By chance, Hu Erniang had a yin-yang umbrella as a means of warmth and nourishment. Otherwise, even if she took the initiative to become a ghost cultivator, it would be difficult to restore her former cultivation level.
Master Wu Nian sighed: "Sure enough, this is my punishment for being too arrogant."
The two parties had reported the situation, but Hu Erniang still didn't understand a little: "Master, your cultivation is so profound, even if the restraint is consumed by the mountain guard formation, it won't consume all your cultivation, right? What is the situation now?
?”
"Yes!" Ling Bufei was confused, "I came to the Enlightenment Tower during the day, and what was the sound I heard? Isn't that you?"
"Of course not." Master Wu Nian laughed at himself, "Look at me like this, how can my voice be transmitted outside? At the Enlightenment Tower, I only have one inner layer of restrictions set up by me, and Daoxuan and the others did it outside.
The sound was naturally created by him secretly manipulating it."
They had already guessed this, so they weren't surprised.
"Then you..."
"Wait a minute." Bai Mengjin suddenly said, "Senior, they have been able to open the restrictions of the Enlightenment Tower through consumption, right? In this case, why not just kill you?"
That's right. The other two people also cast their eyes over.
What's the benefit of locking up Master Wu Nian? What if he accidentally escapes? Even if he consumes a lot of cultivation, who can guarantee that he doesn't have any secret skills?
"So I said you shouldn't have come." Master Wu Nian pointed at the puppets around him, "Why do you think I set up these puppets?"
"Protect yourself?" Ling Bufei replied tentatively, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. These puppets couldn't withstand one of his moves!
"Yes, that's not right either." Master Wu Nian's skinny fingers slowly moved across it, leading them to see the restrictions coming through the wall, "Can you recognize what this is?"
Hu Erniang and Ling Bufei were still watching, but the color on Bai Mengjin's face had quickly disappeared.
"Sacrifice formation! This is the sacrifice formation!"
