Cheng Kuanghan was immediately shocked. Although he didn't see the other party perform the technique, he suddenly thought of what happened back then.
The third sister was hit with almost no resistance, and she couldn't help but feel wary.
At the same time, the six people in Yu Erlu who had just heard the news also slowed down a bit, but still rushed forward.
Of course, they heard Cheng Kuanghan talk about the reason why the four of them failed in the Neigu assessment, and they also knew that Li Yan had an invisible poison in him.
But at this moment, something suddenly happened that Cheng Kuanghan and the other seven people had never expected.
"If you dare to touch anyone within our influence, if you are outside the valley, you will have to be killed!"
A deep voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the seven people. This voice came too suddenly, and the seven people in Erlu didn't feel it at all.
And this sound sounded in their ears, and it passed each person's ears one by one.
After the last word was spoken, the one that happened to pass behind the seven people, and each of them could feel a stream of hot air blowing from their ears.
What frightened the seven people even more was that in this sentence, the other party not only passed by everyone, but also slapped them in the back of their hearts very quickly.
The power of the palm was revealed instantly, causing them to fall forward one after another with a cry of surprise.
Not only was the opponent's speed incredibly fast, but when they launched the attack, none of them could react.
"Since you are here to return the spirit stones, you must also count the bonuses!"
And just as they fell out, Li Yan, who was standing in the encirclement, suddenly had a faint smile on his face.
Cheng Kuanghan and the other seven felt that the muscles and veins in their bodies were being impacted by an intruding force. Their magic power was suddenly blocked and their breath was suffocated. Their heart veins were also impacted at this moment.
While there was severe pain in the heart, there was also strong dizziness in the whole sea of consciousness. In shock, they fell powerlessly forward.
Then when they tried to raise their heads, in their blurred vision, they discovered that another figure suddenly appeared beside the surrounded Li Yan.
Immediately, several people could no longer support their heads and fell unconscious...
There was deathly silence in the dense forest. About half a quarter of an hour later, when Yu Erluo woke up first, he only felt a splitting headache.
For a moment, he didn't realize what happened?
He turned his head in a daze, and the surrounding scene was completely dark, but there was a continuous chirping of insects, which seemed particularly high-pitched in the silent forest.
"I...this is..."
Yu Erluo found himself lying on his side on the ground, with waves of coolness coming from under his body. He didn't remember where he was?
But the instinctive feeling of palpitations made him put his hands on the ground and stood up.
The pain that followed from the sea of consciousness caused his body to shake violently, and he almost stumbled again, but he finally stabilized his body.
"Not good, Li Yan!"
The moment he forcibly stabilized his body, many memories came flooding back. In his memory, he still remembered the last scene where Li Yan and another figure appeared.
In an instant, he subconsciously raised his magic power, and the magic power in his body was like a rushing river, filling his limbs and bones in an instant.
"Um?"
Yu Erluo was also stunned for a moment.
Because at this time, he also realized that before he was knocked down, the magic power in his body had been blocked and could no longer be used, but now there was no blockage.
And at this moment, several more painful sounds came from different directions nearby. Erluo was on full alert and quickly swept away with his consciousness...
After seven or eight breaths, six figures gathered around Yu Erlu again, but at this moment, everyone's face was completely unstable.
Each of them held several storage rings in their hands, and each of them had some dark red blood stains on their chest or collar.
The joints of Yu Erluo's palm holding the storage ring were already pale due to excessive force.
He suddenly looked to the other side, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. There was Cheng Kuanghan with the same frightened face, his face as pale as earth.
Not to mention the two of them, several other people also had frightened faces, and two female cultivators even turned pale.
Not only were they frightened, they also suffered some injuries.
When they woke up before, after the initial panic, they all regained consciousness.
Li Yan and the figure who appeared behind him have disappeared, and each of them was injured.
It's not that Li Yan and the others attacked him and others later, causing many injuries, but it can also be said that they were attacked again, but it was not caused by a direct attack.
They found that their sea of consciousness was in severe pain. This was because their imprinted consciousness had been forcibly broken away.
As a result, their consciousnesses were traumatized, and they vomited blood and were injured one after another. The easiest reason to explain such a result is that their magic weapon was attacked.
It wasn't until they discovered the cause of their injuries that everyone noticed that their storage rings were missing.
This caused the seven people to panic in an instant. Although some people did not bring all of their wealth with them, that was still most of it.
Especially some people inside have placed their natal magic weapon inside. If someone gets it, it will not be as simple as a decrease in their combat power. Their cultivation may be damaged as a result.
Suddenly, each of them no longer cared about the severe pain in their consciousness, and their eyes instantly turned red. Li Yan and the other person were actually so vicious.
Their consciousness immediately spread out again, but soon they discovered that there was a slight tinkling sound coming from the branches of a big tree where Li Yan was standing.
It was a sound made by a string of storage rings strung on a piece of straw rope and gently colliding with each other in the wind.
But it was covered up by the continuous chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the surrounding dense forest.
When they each got back their storage rings, they couldn't wait to put their spiritual consciousness into it, and then a scene that surprised and delighted them emerged.
Fortunately, none of the magic weapons, refining materials, elixirs, etc. inside were lost, but what made them shocked and angry was that everyone's spiritual stones were gone.
That was really gone. Everyone rummaged through all their storage rings, and the other party didn’t even leave them a single spiritual stone, not even a low-grade spiritual stone!
This made them become paupers in a short period of time except for magic weapons and elixirs.
At this time, they also remembered what the man said in their ears. Of course they knew the meaning of the words. This was in Huangqi Valley. The other party was afraid of the sect rules, so they did not kill anyone.
Otherwise, they would all have turned into corpses now!
That person's cultivation level was so high that the seven of them didn't even know how the other person got close to him. They even attacked him, but their own senses hadn't reacted yet.
And it can easily break the spiritual imprints left on the stored magic weapons of everyone here. The person who comes here should at least have the strength of the Void Refining Realm or above.
They are all monks of the Alchemy Sect. Because they spend all day refining alchemy, each of them has very sophisticated control over their spiritual consciousness.
Therefore, the intensity of spiritual consciousness is also higher than that of normal monks of the same level in other sects.
"Didn't you say that Li Yan didn't join any forces? What's going on?"
Yu Erluo stared at Cheng Kuanghan with a pair of fierce eyes. They had offended someone this time. The person had already made it very clear that Li Yan was a member of their power.
There are many various large and small forces in Huangqi Valley, and the forces that Yu Erlu and others belong to can only be considered good.
Among their forces, there are also strong men like those just now, who can easily subdue them.
But if Yu Erluo wanted to hire such a person, it would definitely cost him a lot of heartache.
And if you want to deal with the person just now, he may not be willing to take action against an equally powerful opponent, and you will have to invite someone stronger then. Where did you get so many spiritual stones?
Thinking about it, if they blocked Li Yan outside the valley and Yu Erluo could only feel chills on his back and a shudder of cold air, he would definitely be on the verge of death.
At this moment in Erlu, Cheng Kuanghan's heart was ready to eat him alive. A pair of fierce eyes were filled with blood, like a ferocious beast that would choose someone to devour at any time.
His heart was bleeding continuously, and all the spiritual stones he had put in the storage space were gone. However, there were several top-quality spiritual stones in it, as well as a large number of other spiritual stones obtained through hard work in alchemy.
But at this moment, all this was gone, and the methods shown by the person who took action made him dare not go to the other party at all.
Even if he went to find Li Yan again, he was still thinking in his heart, as the other party seemed to have figured out their plan.
Especially being able to find such a strong master so quickly was something Yu Erlu couldn't do on his own. In this way, one can speculate on Li Yan's status in that force.
And to deal with such a master, don't you have to sell magic weapons, elixirs, and materials, and then try it with the opponent?
"I...Although I haven't found Li Yan in three years, the news I heard is indeed true. Why don't you try to find out the news too!"
When Cheng Kuanghan heard this, he suddenly became dissatisfied when he looked at the way the other party looked at him. He was frightened, but his heart was also bleeding.
Yu Erluo treated himself like this, and he had paid a lot of spiritual stones. This was considered an employment relationship.
Suddenly, there was dissatisfaction in his words. He was also a disciple in a powerful force, but the other party really thought that he was being manipulated in every way...
In front of a small bridge and flowing water in a dense forest, the courtyard door in front of the flower garden suddenly opened, and then two figures entered the courtyard in just a flash.
The courtyard door was immediately closed, and at the same time, the formation restrictions flickered slightly, sealing everything in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, in front of the stone table, two figures appeared. One was wearing the white sect costume of Huang Qigu, and the other was wearing a black shirt.
At this time, if anyone is here, they will be surprised to find that except for the different clothes of these two people, their appearance is exactly the same.
Two Li Yan suddenly appeared here, and Li Yan in black robe glanced at the restrictions on the courtyard wall that had been reopened, and then just nodded to Li Yan in white robe.
The other party just smiled slightly, and Li Yan in black robe took one step forward and bumped into Li Yan in white robe.
Then two figures, one black and one white, were just slightly blurred, and Li Yan in white robe disappeared, leaving only Li Yan in black robe in the courtyard.
Li Yan then slowly walked forward a few steps, sat next to the stone table, and gently closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a lot of information and insights poured into his sea of consciousness. He was comprehending the memories from today's lecture...
Li Yan, who appeared previously wearing a white robe from Huang Qi Valley, was his incarnation.
In the past few years, Li Yan's real body has never gone out. He just stayed here to practice while letting this incarnation go out to listen to the Dharma and conduct assessments.
Every time the incarnation comes back, it will return as his spiritual consciousness and transfer the recorded information to the sea of consciousness of the original body.
The incarnation is the combination of magic and mana, condensed by spiritual consciousness. Naturally, after the spiritual consciousness returns, everything seen and heard will return to Li Yan's sea of consciousness. Li Yan will then comprehend the content of the lecture.
As for the assessment of spiritual alchemists and alchemists, Li Yan felt that there was no need to go out. After all, one was refining medicine into liquid and the other was refining liquid into elixir.
The incarnation can completely solve this kind of problem, and starting from the alchemist's assessment, his true body will definitely be required to go out for assessment.
When the incarnation went to listen to the lecture today, he met Cheng Kuanghan and the others. This is also within the sect, and the incarnation is also within the sensing range.
Li Yan's body immediately knew the general situation there when the other party provoked him.
In the past few years in Huangqi Valley, he not only retained his identity as a disciple in the inner valley, but also inquired about many things in Huangqi Valley.
Naturally, he also knew a lot about some of the forces that secretly existed in the valley. In fact, Li Yan knew about the existence of this situation without having to investigate carefully.
He has entered many sects. No matter how harmonious the sect is on the surface, it will definitely be divided into small factions inside.
Just like the Demon Sect, the most obvious one is the Five Peaks forces. They are consistent externally, but they compete with each other internally and are dissatisfied with each other and the other four peaks.
After Cheng Kuanghan came to find him, Li Yan already knew about the last grudge, and Cheng Kuanghan was unwilling to let it go.
However, when it comes to dealing with this kind of thing, with Li Yan's ingenuity, he almost came up with a solution in just a moment.
To kill those seven people, even if they were all tied together, they were not enough for him to take action at once.
Now, if Li Yan, under Dong Fuyi's personal guidance, were to compete with a monk in the Transformation of God Realm, more than 90% of the people would not mention it in front of him.
If Li Yan hadn't suppressed his cultivation, he should have broken through to the Void Refining Realm. He could deal with the Transformation God in the Nascent Soul Realm. Now, it is almost no difficulty for such people to directly threaten him.
But Li Yan would be careful when dealing with any enemy, and he also had to consider how to deal with it once and for all, lest the opponent would continue to cause trouble for him after passing through once.
Since you can't kill them, then scare them away. The ultimate saying in the world of immortality is that fists are the most important and strength is the most respected.
Li Yan's incarnation naturally stayed in the open, but his real body took action secretly.
Li Yan barely used "Feng Chongtian". In an instant, he slapped several people on the back, and at the same time he used the branch poison body to quickly poison these people.
Later, before the other party fell into coma, Li Yan's true form deliberately showed his figure, so that the other party could see him appearing next to "Li Yan".
After that, he unceremoniously destroyed the spiritual imprints left on the storage rings by those people.
But they only took away the spiritual stones inside. If those people's magic weapons and alchemy materials were touched, even if the other party was afraid, they would probably risk everything to come after him.
Then... Li Yan no longer cared about this matter. Things like this were trivial to him and could not attract much attention from him.
Things were indeed as Li Yan expected. After Yu Erlu and others returned, because Li Yan did not touch their bottom line, he left them the most important things.
Therefore, he did not immediately go to Li Yan to fight for his life, but could only continue to hate Li Yan.
After secretly making inquiries, they not only failed to find out which force Li Yan had joined, but the more they investigated, the more frightened they became.
Because the more they can't find out, the more terrifying the forces they join are more terrifying. The rules are strict and it is difficult for outsiders to infiltrate.
As a result, those thoughts of dealing with Li Yan that were born out of resentment slowly disappeared after several people discussed it again and again...
