Among the monks present, the two skeleton-faced men and the refined man, the old man, seemed not to know each other at first, and no one had even asked about Bai Ran's origin. Among them, the refined man, when he saw that there were five people present,
Then without any hesitation, he hugged Bai Ran and others and said:
"I, Ke Yu, have been ordered to convey the mission and lead the way to the three seniors. This is my token. Please test it with the three seniors." After the refined man finished speaking respectfully, he took out a black token from his waist.
, handed it to Bai Ran. Obviously this person regarded the three of them as a group, and since Bai Ran had the highest cultivation level, he was naturally the leader.
Bai Ran pursed her lips tightly and stretched out her hand to catch it, took the token in her hand, glanced at it, and threw it to the skull on one side without caring.
The skull looked at it twice, then threw the skilled man back carelessly, and said lazily:
"What's there to see in the token? If the teleportation array at the other end hadn't released it, how could you, a foundation-building monk, be qualified to teleport here? There's no need to check the identities of us. We are all gathered here at this time.
Except for us law enforcement officers who have received orders, there can be no outsiders. If you have any tasks, just tell us."
The skull seemed to be very familiar with this routine. After saying these words in a grand manner, he showed a look of impatience.
The smart man opposite who called himself Ke Yu hesitated for a moment after hearing this. But then he smiled awkwardly and did not mention the identity test of Bai Ran and others at all. Instead, he coughed dryly and introduced the old man next to him.
"Senior Ding is the protector of the Qingyang Clan. This mission actually involves asking three seniors to assist Senior Ding in capturing a key criminal in the Qingyang Clan. The seniors will discuss the specific matters among themselves. This junior is only responsible for the introduction.
"As soon as Ke Yu finished the introduction, he obediently took a step back and let the old man deal with Bai Ran and others in person.
"Qingyang Gate? Could it be the Qingyang Gate belonging to Master Sanyang?" The skull's eyes flashed blue, showing a look of surprise.
The evil man and Bai Ran next to him also changed their expressions slightly when they heard this.
"Haha! It seems that there is no need to say more. The three of us all know the name of our ancestor. This time, it is our ancestor who personally made a request for assistance to the leader of the Six Paths of your alliance. Because this important criminal is not only in the pill formation stage
The monk, who also possesses several treasures of the Qingyang Sect, has been escaping pursuit for many years. Only recently did the sect accidentally learn of his whereabouts. Originally, the Patriarch personally took action.
If so, it would be easy to capture him. But what is helpless is that the Patriarch has other important matters, and he really has no skills. So he asked a few Taoist friends to come here to help. I think that if we and the four Danjie monks attack together, we will definitely be able to capture him alive.
From the witch." The old man surnamed Ding from the Qingyang Gate smiled slightly and said with cupped hands to the three of them, but when he said the last sentence, his expression turned stern.
"Is she a female nun?" Upon hearing the word "witch", the evil man asked doubtfully.
Bai Ran frowned, vaguely remembering something.
"That's right. The witch's name is Yuan Yao. She was originally a concubine that our young master planned to take in. But I didn't expect that the witch was cruel and ruthless. Instead, she relied on her charm and charm to assassinate the young master together with another woman.
Master, and rolled away the treasures and rare elixirs on the young sect master. Then he used them to form a golden elixir. Patriarch Sanyang only
With a descendant like the young master, I naturally hate this woman to the core. If the three of you can help Ding capture this woman alive, our sect will definitely be very grateful. We will never let the efforts of fellow Taoists be in vain."
When the old man talked about the target, he seemed to be gritting his teeth, but he didn't seem to want to talk more about it, so he changed the topic after a brief introduction.
The skull and the evil man looked at each other with indifferent expressions, while Bai Ran touched his nose and was speechless.
Sure enough, she is talking about this girl Yuan Yao!
This mysterious and beautiful woman had such an origin. It was really beyond Bai Ran's expectation.
He originally wondered why this woman had formed a golden elixir in such a short period of time and remained mysterious after the encounter. It turned out that it was because she had robbed some young sect leader and was being hunted by the Qingyang Sect.
It seems that the young master of the Qingyang Clan must have a lot of rare elixirs, and they all gave Yuan Yao an advantage.
But seeing that this woman was about to be unlucky, should she intervene to disrupt the situation? This made Bai Ran hesitate.
Although he and this woman could not be said to have any friendship, they were still barely acquaintances.
At this moment, the skull beside him said:
"Since it is an order from above, there is no reward, so our brothers will definitely contribute. I wonder where this girl is now? Since we were asked to gather here, she must not be too far away!" Don't look at this girl's scary appearance.
, but very attentive.
"This fellow Taoist is right. The demon girl lives in seclusion on a deserted island north of Huangming Island. If she hadn't been out shopping one time, she was accidentally recognized by the disciples and followed to her lair. I'm afraid there would still be no trace of her.
News. This woman is extremely cunning, and she carries extremely powerful treasures, including our secret treasure, Qingyang Thunder. I hope all fellow Taoists will be more careful." The old man warned, and specifically raised his hand to Bai Ran.
After all, with Bai Ran's advanced cultivation of Dan Dan, the old man naturally valued it very much.
But what this person never expected was that although Bai Ran nodded expressionlessly, what he was thinking about was taking action to kill all of them.
However, when Bai Ran heard that Yuan Yao was nearby, his heart couldn't help but he made up his mind instantly. He decided to go meet this woman for a while, and then take the opportunity to ask for something important after rescuing her.
At this time, Ke Yu, a smart man, saw that several people had finished their discussion, so he respectfully asked everyone, and then led the way out of the cave.
...In a stone house on another island, a monk with disheveled hair looked at the teleportation array at his feet, feeling puzzled for a while.
When he first entered the house, this magic circle was still flashing normally.
But when it was time to teleport, the magic circle failed inexplicably.
This made him touch his head and feel depressed secretly.
...After passing through a short section of the mountain and several layers of guarded restrictions, Bai Ran and others appeared on the edge of a cliff.
After looking at the vaguely visible villages and towns in the distance, several people flew into the sky one after another.
Then, under the guidance of the old man from Qingyang Gate, he flew away from the island and flew towards the north.
The journey was uneventful, and everyone was busy on their way.
Bai Ran had the highest level of cultivation, and he had a cold and cold attitude that kept strangers away from him. No one wanted to talk to him without being interested.
As a result, after half a day, the five of them saw a small island with a radius of only dozens of miles.
"This is it. The witch is hiding in one of the hills!" The old man's eyes flashed coldly, he stopped hiding and said coldly.
Bai Ran and others then stopped in mid-air and looked at the island from a distance.
Apart from a small patch of sparse vegetation, there are only a few small rocky mountains on the island. The spiritual energy is also extremely thin.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, have you found the wrong place? How could a demon girl, a monk in the alchemy stage, find such a place to practice?" After looking at it for a while, the ugly man couldn't help but ask, with a look of doubt on his face.
"Don't worry. This is definitely the right place." The old man surnamed Ding replied confidently. Then he pinched the spell with both hands, then raised one hand, and a dazzling yellow light shot into the sky.
A moment later, the same yellow light rose far away from the other side of the island.
When the old man saw it, his face lit up, and he hurriedly turned to Bai Ran and others and said:
"Let's go. There are disciples of our sect there who have been monitoring the girl's whereabouts. It seems that the demon girl has not left the island."
After finishing speaking, the old man had no intention of leaving. As a result, after a while, a red light flew from another place where the yellow light came from. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of several people. After the brilliance faded, a red light appeared.
There was a man in gray clothes, about forty years old, in the middle stage of foundation building. There was also a cyan flame mark embroidered on his sleeve, but it was much smaller than the old man's.
"Disciple has met Master Ding and several seniors!" The man recognized the old man surnamed Ding at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute him without any hesitation, and said respectfully.
The old man waved his hand carelessly and asked in a deep voice:
"Is the witch still on the island? Has she not left this place?"
"No! Ever since the disciple followed her back to this island, the demon girl has never left her cave." The middle-aged man said with certainty.
"Okay. You have done a good job in this matter. After the incident here is over, I will go back and promote you to the inner disciple. Now lead the way." The old man praised and said solemnly.
"Thank you for your guidance, uncle! Disciple, I will lead the way." Hearing this, the middle-aged man said continuously with a look of ecstasy on his face.
Then the man turned around and led a few people straight to the island to escape.
In the blink of an eye, the group of people arrived above the island. The middle-aged man pointed to one of the rocky mountains and said respectfully to everyone:
"When the witch came back last time, I didn't dare to get close to look at her because of my low cultivation. I just saw that she disappeared as soon as she got close to this mountain. It is estimated that this woman's cave is in this mountain."
When the skull heard this, he looked at the rocky mountain with a flash of light in his eyes, and nodded slowly:
"Yes, some clever restrictions have been placed on the surface of the stone mountain. I also came closer to check it. If I were passing by from a distance, I would never be able to find anything strange about this island. No wonder this woman has been able to hide here without incident for many years.
"
"Hmph! This woman also took away the young master's cultivation books. It is not unusual for her to have such a method. After I break this formation, I will be able to help a few fellow Taoists." A flash of light flashed across the old man's face.
He looked angry, but then returned to normal and said.
"Don't worry. Even if this girl has three heads and six arms, she won't be able to fly this time." The skull said with a smile, with a look of indifference.
When the old man heard this, he felt that there would be no problem. He no longer hesitated and rubbed his hands suddenly, and a dazzling yellow light suddenly rose from his hands.
"Broken" the old man shouted, and the yellow light in his hand turned into a frightening rainbow, flying towards the surface of the stone mountain.
There was a muffled sound of "rumbling". The rocky mountain in front of me was like a huge boulder thrown into the calm water. The originally motionless scene was suddenly rippling with white light. The scenery then changed, and suddenly there appeared a tower with compelling aura and beautiful scenery.
of lush green mountains.
"Is this?" The skull and the evil man saw the shocking change in front of them, and they couldn't help but open their mouths and were stunned.
"Hehe, this is our sect's secret formation 'Spirit Array'. It is one of the few formations in the world that can hide the spiritual energy. The witch's cultivation is not enough, so she can only cover up part of the spiritual energy. If the ancestor of our sect personally
It is easy to set up this formation without leaking any spiritual energy." The old man surnamed Ding glanced at the two of them and said with some pride.
Bai Ran was very surprised when he saw it. After hearing the old man's explanation, his heart moved slightly.
If he could master the arrangement of this spirit-binding formation, his cave would be much safer in the future.
At this moment, as the illusion in front of him disappeared, a stone door radiating green light appeared on the mountainside. It seemed that this was the location of Yuanyao Cave.
"I'll take action later." The old man said with a fierce look.
The skull nodded, opened his mouth and spit out a black strange blade, half knife and half sword, very weird. And the evil man shouted, and a cold mountain ax flew out from his hand, letting the people on the side Bai Ran was startled. It was extremely rare for someone to use this giant weapon as a magic weapon.
"Fellow Taoist, why..." The old man himself also spit out a white flying sword, but when he saw that Bai Ran didn't move at all, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Bai Ran smiled slightly, and when he was about to say something to fool him, the stone door suddenly opened on its own, and a green light flew out from inside.
When the old man saw this, he didn't care what to say. He immediately said "swish" to the others and looked at each other.
After the green light circled, the light dimmed not far from the door, and a stunning beauty in black clothes and black skirt, with skin like snow, emerged.
This girl has a charming smile, her eyes are flowing, and she is full of charm between every frown and smile.
It was Yuan Yao who broke up with Bai Ran in Xutian Palace.
I haven't seen this girl for many years. Not only has her appearance remained unchanged, but she has become even more charming and charming.
However, when the woman glanced at everyone and her eyes fell on the old man of Qingyang Clan, her charming appearance changed drastically, and her face was suddenly covered with a layer of chill, becoming as cold as ice.
"A few fellow Taoists have come to the little girl's house. Do you want to give me some advice?" Yuan Yao seemed to know that the charm technique had no effect on the monks in front of him. Yuan Yao said coldly with an ugly face, and even ignored the old man.
When the old man named Ding saw this, he was furious. But he was also a scheming person. On the surface, he was not angry. Instead, he said with a sinister smile:
"Witch! At this point, it's useless even if you pretend to be ignorant. You have assassinated our young master and taken away our treasures. Do you think you can escape today?"
After hearing this, Yuan Yao did not speak, but turned her bright eyes slightly to look at the cultivation levels of the other people one by one.
As a result, her heart skipped a beat and her heart sank.
The old man and the evil man were both just early-stage pill-forming monks with similar cultivation levels to her. But the skeleton-like man in black and the ordinary-looking man in green robe next to him were in the middle stage of pill-forming and the other was in the late-stage. It's not something she can handle easily.
If these four people join forces, even though she has several amazingly powerful treasures to protect herself and has practiced one or two secret techniques over the years, she will still be in danger.
At this time, the skull and the villain were obviously shocked by Yuan Yao's stunning appearance, but then they looked at each other with regretful eyes.
If this woman hadn't offended the Sanyang Old Demon of Qingyang Sect, she would definitely be the best pair of monks. What a pity!
When Yuan Yao faced danger, he calmed down.
After sneering, he turned his hands over, and a white array plate appeared between his jade hands, and white light shone under his gentle caress.
A large green-yellow thick fog immediately rolled out, covering the entire hill. Seeing this, the old man let out a low shout, and the flying sword in front of him swung towards Yuan Yao in a flash.
But Yuan Yao chuckled lightly, and without saying a word, he flashed back into the thick fog.
"Hmph! How dare you show off a mere illusion array!" The old man frowned when he saw this, but then he pinched the spell with both hands with disdain and pointed at the flying sword.
After a clear sound, the flying sword began to dance wildly in the air, and instantly turned into a huge light wheel with a diameter of several feet. It rolled unceremoniously into the thick fog, and the thick fog dispersed wherever it passed.
In the blink of an eye, the thick fog in front of the door was driven away by the old man's sword light, revealing the stone door again.
Seeing this, the evil man pointed at his magic weapon without any hesitation. The mountain-opening ax rose several times and struck hard at the stone door.
Yellow light and green light intertwined together, and the sound of explosions continued.
Just when the skull next to Bai Ran was about to use his strange blades to attack together, he suddenly let out a surprised sound.
"No! The witch ran away from the back mountain. Go chase her!" He said hurriedly, and then turned into a black light without hesitation and went straight to the back mountain.
After Bai Ran heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he stood there without moving as usual.
The villain seemed to be very convinced by the skull's words. Upon hearing this, he immediately stopped attacking Shimen and immediately ran after him.
Seeing this, the old man showed doubts and doubts. He hesitated for a while and then asked Bai Ran doubtfully:
"Fellow Taoist, what I just said is true or false. Why didn't I notice it at all?"
Among the few people, Bai Ran had the highest cultivation level, so the old man naturally felt that Bai Ran's words were the most credible.
But after hearing this question, Bai Ran's face remained unchanged, but a strange and strange look flashed in his eyes...
"That Taoist fellow is right. The woman did run away from the exit of the back mountain. However, she has been stopped by two fellow Taoists and is currently fighting." Bai Ran put his hands behind his back and faced the back mountain.
After looking in the direction, he said calmly.
"That's great. If the two of us go to help, we will be able to capture the demon girl alive." Upon hearing this, the old man immediately said with great joy.
"Indeed, if we go there, we will definitely catch this girl. But before we go, Bai wants to borrow something from fellow Taoist." Bai Ran turned around and looked at the old man several feet away with a strange look, slowly
He asked, "What do you want to borrow, fellow Taoist?" The old man surnamed Ding couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously asked strangely.
"Just lend me your head!" Bai Ran rubbed his nose with a trace of sarcasm on his lips.
Before the old man could react, he opened his mouth and a dazzling green light spurted out, instantly surrounding the old man's head, and the big head rolled down on its own.
Then Bai Ran made a move with one hand, and a piece of blue light shot out from his hand. He rolled up the head and pulled it back to his hand, without a drop of bloody air being contaminated.
He then squinted his eyes and glanced at the head wrapped in blue light.
Because he shot too quickly, his head was still full of surprise and confusion.
"Don't blame me. Since you saw me at the teleportation array, it can only be considered that you are not very lucky." Bai Ran sighed softly and murmured.
Ke Yu and the Qingyang Sect disciple who were standing on the other side were so frightened when they saw this scene that they hurriedly used their weapons to escape. However, Bai Ran randomly threw out two sword beams and killed them on the spot.
After putting away the old man's storage bag, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the mountain behind, with a strange look on his face.
"Tsk, tsk! I didn't expect that this girl Yuan Yao's cultivation level has really improved greatly!" Bai Ran let out a voice of surprise. Then he grabbed the head with one hand, and the person turned into a blue rainbow and flew away.
High in the sky behind the Green Mountain, the skull and the evil man were fighting together with a magic weapon, a strange red hammer, while holding spells with both hands, and firing various spells towards the opposite side.
At this moment, Yuan Yao was covered in black mist, and his whole body was covered by a black cloud, from which hundreds of green magic fires shot out, constantly clashing with the spells of the two people opposite him.
It's just that this woman kept retreating while fighting, trying to escape from here.
But the two skulls seemed to be very experienced in fighting, and with just the right attack, they could always prevent Yuan Yao from getting away at once.
At this time, all three of them saw the escaping light coming from Bai Ran, and the villain and the skull were overjoyed.
When Bai Ran's brilliance faded and he appeared near the battle group, the villain hurriedly greeted him and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Fellow Daoist, hurry up and take action. If the three of us attack together, we will surely capture this woman alive. But what about fellow Daoist Ding from Qingyang Sect? Why are they still dragging their feet on matters within his sect?"
"You two don't have to wait any longer. Fellow Daoist Ding, he's here!" After hearing this, Bai Ran raised his expressionless hand and threw the head hidden behind him at the evil man.
