Zhan Chen and Sun Yong walked forward along the secret passage. They walked very carefully and were alert to possible dangers around them from time to time. After walking for about a few hundred meters, they suddenly saw a glimmer of light in front of them. Sun Yong saw this.
He was overjoyed and shouted: "Zhan Chen, we're here!" and hurried towards the direction of the light source.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, but without saying anything, he followed him and quickened his pace. After walking about a hundred or two hundred meters, his eyes suddenly opened up, and they saw a magnificent rotunda hall appearing in front of them, with a diameter of enough
There are hundreds of meters!
There are ten doors scattered around the rotunda, and Zhan Chen and Sun Yong came in through one of them. It can be seen that there are other secret passages leading to this hall on the ninth floor of the underground palace.
There is nothing else in the hall, but there is a huge altar in the center, which is ten meters high. There are eight pillars carved on the altar, and the pillars are carved with various patterns of exotic animals, which makes it look extraordinary.
The eyes of Zhan Chen and Sun Yong were naturally attracted by this high altar. Sun Yong was even more curious. He immediately boarded the altar and suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Zhan, come up and take a look. There is something here."
There is a spiritual formation!"
"Oh, really?" Zhan Chen also stepped onto the altar step by step, and sure enough he saw a huge spiritual array engraved in the center of the altar, with ancient and complicated patterns, emitting waves of strange energy fluctuations.
At this time, Sun Yong said again: "Brother Zhan, let's activate this spiritual array!" As he spoke, he took out pieces of immortal stones from the storage ring, intending to embed them into the eyes of the spiritual array.
.
But Zhan Chen suddenly pulled out the Youlong Frightening Sword, pointed the tip of the sword at him, and asked: "Sun Yong, who are you? Do you still want to act?"
Sun Yong couldn't help but was stunned, and then asked with an innocent face: "Zhan Chen, what are you talking about? I am Sun Yong, the elder of the same sect who has been born and died with you!"
Zhan Chen laughed dumbly and said: "Stop pretending, I have already seen through your identity!"
Sun Yongyong said angrily: "Okay! Then tell me, who am I?"
"You are -" A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, but he still expressed his judgment: "You are Xiao Xie!"
As soon as he heard the name, Sun Yong was shocked, but then he forced a smile from his face and said: "Xiao Xie? You are not kidding, Zhan Chen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk.
Nonsense, do you have any evidence?"
"Of course, although you have been pretending very well, I started to doubt you since you entered the ninth floor of the underground palace."
"Oh, tell me, what do you doubt about me?"
"In the beginning, when we followed Elder Kong Qiliang and encountered the killing array in the first hall, you quickly reacted and told me to be careful. At that time, I had questions in my heart, why did you notice it at a glance?
You must know that the spiritual formation was hidden in the dome of the hall, and you must know that the spiritual formation was originally mixed with the mural, and you seem to know that it is dangerous."
"Zhan Chen, don't be suspicious. I happened to see the spiritual formation on the roof. You must know that it was activated at that time. I instinctively felt that it was dangerous, so I reminded you."
"But, since you knew the danger, why did you just remind me? Elder Xu Chang and other elders in the sect, why didn't you remind them?"
"This - you were the only one beside me at that time. The situation is critical and I can't control it too much!"
"Okay, this is just one of them. Later, you and I fought together in the underground palace. But now that I think about it, you were the one leading the way from the beginning, and I just followed you. In the end, you took me to the previous place.
In that inconspicuous room, the mechanism happened to be activated in the room, and the secret passage leading to this hall was discovered. Don't you think it all happened by coincidence?"
Sun Yong spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's such a coincidence. What can I do?"
"But just now, we found a bright light in the dark passage, and you said a word but your identity was exposed!"
"What words?"
"You said 'We are here!' at that time. It shows that you know where the secret passage leads, which is this hall, otherwise you would not have said that!"
"This -" Sun Yong was at a loss for words. Indeed, this was a major mistake on his part.
Zhan Chen continued: "In the end, it was on this altar that your flaws became more obvious. What I want to ask you is, do you know what the spiritual array in front of us is?"
"This is, this is - I'm not sure." Sun Yong began to be evasive.
"Well, since you don't know the effect of this spiritual formation, why are you so eager to activate it?"
Sun Yong was completely speechless by Zhan Chen's series of questions. He stood there blankly for a while and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Zhan Chen, you are really good and bad, but you have given me everything."
Got it!"
Next, a terrifying scene happened. Sun Yong's skin and bones began to twist and crackle, and his height, fatness, and facial appearance all underwent astonishing changes. When everything settled, it turned out that
That "Sun Yong" also disappeared, and wasn't it Xiao Xie who appeared in front of Zhan Chen?
Xiao Xie ignored Zhan Chen, but stretched his body, got used to it, and sighed: "It's better to use my own body to feel comfortable and pretend to be Sun Yong. I've had enough."
Then, he raised his head again, looked at Zhan Chen, and asked, "I'm curious about one thing. How did you guess my true identity at once?"
Zhan Chen sneered and replied: "Isn't this just like the lice on the monk's head? It's obvious? Who else would be so interested in me? I'm afraid there is no one except you, Xiao Xie." After a pause, he
He also asked: "Xiao Xie, I think Elder Sun has been taken over by you, right?"
"Haha, Zhan Chen, you are asking questions knowingly. Yes, I will never forget that day. The day that stinky bitch destroyed my body. The humiliation and fear it brought to me. At that time, I turned into the soul body. I was very scared and tried my best to
I wanted to escape and hid in a dark corner for a long time. But when I calmed down, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t
I can just run away. Because Zhan Chen, I haven’t gotten what I want from you. You made me pay such a high price, and I have to get it back! However, I made a bold move
I have decided that I will continue to lurk in the Linghe Sect, lurking next to you, and I will never give up until I get what I want!"
At this point, Xiao Xie was already gritting his teeth. Zhan Chen could feel his hatred for him. He couldn't help but shudder, calmed down his mood, and asked: "So you took away Elder Sun's body with your soul?"
"Yes, at this time, the elder you call Sun Yong came into my sight. His cultivation level is mediocre, only the intermediate level of immortality. After observation, I found that his character is cowardly and his will is weak.
He is the best candidate to seize the body, because choosing someone with too high cultivation level or too strong soul to seize the body will easily lead to failure in seizing the body. In that case, I will die without a burial place, and I will die without a burial place.
Determined people are very good at resisting. Devouring their souls takes a lot of effort and time, which I can't afford. So Sun Yong became my target. Devouring his soul was extremely easy. That guy didn't resist.
He gave in and let me swallow him completely. Not only did I easily obtain his body, but I also fused part of his memory and quickly adapted to my identity in the Linghe Sect."
Facing Zhan Chen, Xiao Xie didn't seem nervous at all. He told the whole process of how he chose Sun Yong and how he devoured his soul, and he was quite proud of it. When Zhan Chen heard it, he felt creepy.
He cursed: "Xiao Xie, you are not a human being at all, and you actually did such a cruel thing as devouring a human soul!"
After hearing these words, Xiao Xie suddenly became excited, clapped his chest and shouted: "Cruelty? What is cruelty? You have never lost your body, so you can speak righteously. If you lose your body like me, you will have a suitable partner."
If I appear in front of you, wouldn't you be tempted?"
Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment. If he encountered the same situation as Xiao Xie, what would he do? Would he also seize the body?
Suddenly, the figure of Zhuang Xiaodie appeared in his mind, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said confidently: "Xiao Xie, maybe I would have made the same choice as you in the past, but now I won't. I would rather
Die with courage!"
"Humph, who knows? The so-called 'justice' that you righteous monks flaunt is all lip service, and what you actually do is no different from us demonic cultivators, and is even more disgusting!"
"Humph, believe it or not! However, I'm very surprised. Since you have successfully deceived everyone's eyes, why haven't you taken action against me for so long?"
Xiao Xie looked solemn and said: "Zhan Chen, I have to admire you. You are very capable. I am not sure of victory, so I have been following you to look for opportunities."
"Is this attack on the Soul Sect the opportunity you see?"
"Yes, I became the leader of the Corpse Soul Sect just for fun, but after all, I have been operating here for hundreds of years, and I am still prepared for some traps."
"So you lured me here. I think activating the spiritual array on the altar is your ultimate goal. What is this spiritual array used for?" Zhan Chen continued to test, wanting to lure Xiao Xie
All the secrets in my heart were revealed.
Xiao Xie was about to answer him, but suddenly thought of something, he laughed and said, "Zhan Chen, I won't tell you Du Du's secret, but you will understand it after a while. The puzzle will be solved in
Finally revealed!”
Seeing that he didn't want to say more or waste any more time, Zhan Chen sneered and said, "Huh, Xiao Xie, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, because as long as I kill you here, it will be over. Ting'er told me
I, you will not be able to seize the body again for a long time after the Yuan Shen took the body!"
After hearing his words, Xiao Xie's face changed slightly, then he laughed again and asked: "Kill me? Do you have the strength?"
