In the extremely wide hall, there are huge sword handles, roughly twenty-eight of them.
The hilt of the sword extends upward to the top of the tower, serving as a support column - it is precisely because of these hilts that when the dragon escaped from the trap earlier and tried to entangle the Demon Locking Tower and break it, it finally failed.
The longer blade pierces downward into the center of the earth. To be precise, it pierces into the Fire Origin Cave, charging the Demon Locking Tower with the infinite Fire Origin True Gang.
An old man sat in the middle of the hall surrounded by sword hilts, suspended in the air, closing his eyes and meditating.
The old man has white robes, white hair, white eyebrows and a white beard, and his eyebrows are long and connected together in the middle, which is easy to impress people.
A short sword was placed on his knees, three feet and four inches long, completely clear and bright.
This person is the Long-Eyebrow Immortal from the Qing Sect on Shushan Mountain, and the short sword is the famous Liangyi Fenchen Sword.
Headmaster Yujing walked quickly, his robes rustling with his movements.
He came to the Long-Eyebrow Immortal, pinched his sword fingers with his left hand, made a bowing ceremony, and then said succinctly:
"The demon disaster has been put down. Currently, there are 360 dragons, 127 chi dragons, and 35 horned dragons that have escaped from the tower. Except for those killed by the Liangyi Dust Sword, they have all been tied up.
Take him back to the tower."
Headmaster Yujing did not mention the matter of Ying Long, but changed his tone and continued:
"This disaster was caused by the collusion between spies within the sect and great demons outside the sect."
"The spies within the sect were planted by Donghuang Dao. They worshiped at the Chiyang Peak of the initiatory sect 127 years ago. Their background says that they are from Yongzhou and have no father or mother. Judging from the records of the deacons and the feedback from Chiyang Peak
, the spy was indeed a mortal in the beginning.”
The Long-Eyebrow Immortal remained calm and motionless, already anticipating this outcome.
What the so-called spies are most afraid of is this kind of white body. They have never practiced any other method. Apart from the thoughts in their heads, they are no different from ordinary disciples. If the other party's methods are more sophisticated, it will be almost impossible to distinguish.
But this kind of spy also has a characteristic, that is, the incubation period is extremely long. For a mortal, it takes at least two hundred years to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm, and the Foundation Establishment Realm will basically have no effect.
The main reason for the disaster this time was not the spies, but the external demon.
"The external demon, after investigation, should be the Moon Phantom Fox of the Qingqiu clan." Headmaster Yujing continued, "The deacon of the Demon Locking Tower has discovered that one person is missing. He should have been attacked by the Moon Phantom Fox while on official business.
Then he was replaced by the other party and sneaked into the tower."
Yuehuan Tianhu is at least in the Nascent Soul realm, and he is also good at illusions. The Demon Locking Tower Deacon is only a real person, so it is common sense that he cannot defeat him.
"However, the day the opponent sneaked in was when the trial of the Demon Locking Tower was about to begin." Headmaster Yujing sneered, "The opponent found out about this after entering the Demon Locking Tower. He was caught off guard and had no choice but to use the sect's secret agent rudely.
Create civil strife in the trial team and force the team to end the trial early."
"The disciples who were killed during the trial were all killed by Yuehuan Tianhu, and with the help of intelligence provided by spies, they disguised themselves as the hands of the Seven Killers, thus interfering with audio and video and inciting panic. This has also been confirmed."
"After the accident, both the Golden Elixir team and the Foundation Establishment team were forced to suspend the trial and evacuate the Demon Locking Tower..."
"That Moon Magic Sky Fox." The Long-Eyebrow Immortal suddenly spoke, interrupting him and saying, "What are you planning to do by sneaking into the tower?"
Headmaster Yujing smiled bitterly.
If it is said that the other party is trying to help Yinglong get out of trouble, it can be said to be nonsense.
After Yinglong escaped from the trap, he did not escape Shushan immediately, but ran to the top of Emei Jinding to shake the Liangyi dust formation. Obviously, he had no intention of escaping.
The Long-Eyebrow Immortal presided over the Liangyi Dust Formation and initially did not choose to activate it. He originally planned to confirm who the big demon was that sneaked into the Demon Locking Tower.
However, Yinglong planned to bombard the Golden Summit of Emei with his breath, so the Long-Eye Immortal had no choice but to activate the Liangyi Dust Formation in advance, seriously injuring Yinglong.
Yuehuan Tianhu probably took this opportunity to escape.
In this way, why the other party sneaked into the Demon Locking Tower has become an unverifiable mystery...
"I would venture to guess that there are probably two possibilities." Headmaster Yujing thought for a long time and said, "One is to convey some kind of news to Yinglong."
"The second is to get some kind of news from Yinglong."
"Hmm." The Long-Eyebrow Immortal also began to ponder.
Obviously, Yuehuan Tianhu came and left empty-handed. He did not take away any demons. It could only be some kind of invisible thing.
For example, there are secrets that only Ying Long knows... and so on.
"This matter will end here for the time being." Long-Eyebrow Immortal said in agreement, "It is not appropriate for the sect to pursue the investigation in a big way, but you can choose people you trust and pay careful attention."
"During this battle, the outside world will pay more attention to our situation in Shushan, and other agents within the faction will also become active in order to collect intelligence. It is just right to kill a wave of people to serve as a warning to others."
"Understood." Headmaster Yujing hesitated, "There's just one more thing."
"If this matter is not discussed within the sect, many disciples will think that it is really the pulsating hand of Qingluo Peak..."
The Long-Eyebrow Immortal answered directly:
"It's okay, let them go."
Headmaster Yujing sighed deeply in his heart.
The Immortal still can't let go of Master Qisha. After all, he was his most valued direct disciple at the time...
But such coercion may not have the desired effect.
Headmaster Yujing knew very well Su Jian's stubborn temper.
If An knew that Su Zhen would be killed because of this one day, and Su Jian wanted to avenge his daughter after coming out of seclusion, how could we not see the deliberate connivance of the immortal in this?
At that time, he is afraid that he would rather betray the sect than return to the path of Wangqingliu.
It's a pity that this battle of orthodoxy is the most ruthless.
As long as Su Jian chooses to return to the stream of forgetfulness, everything will go to the right direction, and the Qingluo Peak lineage will be fine.
But if Su Jian still insists on cultivating Wen Qing Liu, that is a heresy and he deserves to die.
This is probably what the immortal thought.
It's just a pity that An Zhisu and Ling Yunpo are outstanding among the disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but in the eyes of immortals, their importance is probably not even one ten thousandth of that of Su Jian.
The high-level affairs of Shushan were kept secret for the time being, but after the incident at the Demon Locking Tower subsided, Ling Yunpo followed An Zhisu back to Qingluo Peak and came to the secret room at the heart of the mountain.
Ling Yunpo took out the golden mercury elixir and started refining it.
In this world of cultivating immortals, although rare objects and techniques that can improve the level of elixirs are rare, they are not limited to one or two types.
Among them, the Golden Mercury Danhua Liquid is definitely the first grade, saving a decade of hard work, but unfortunately you can only drink a spoonful at most;
The Sea of Clouds Realm is considered the second level. Fast forward half a year of hard training, and of course it can only be used once.
It takes two hundred years to transform the elixir into a third-grade elixir, so you can gain ninety years of skill.
Ling Yunpo did not intend to use his Yangshou time to fill the remaining one hundred and ten years, but went to Kunlun and Penglai to search for them.
He didn't believe that Taiqing Sect and Yuqing Temple, both orthodox sects of the Three Qing Dynasties, didn't have a mysterious method to speed up the process of transformation!
Ling Yunpo was refining the golden mercury elixir over there, while An Zhisu was kneeling on the futon and praying to his master Su Jian about this trip.
"Master, please forgive me."
"This trip to the Demon Locking Tower will be full of strange and unpredictable events."
"Fortunately, my apprentice finally brought my junior brother back intact."
"The Frostfall Sword was damaged as a result, but my disciple... doesn't feel sorry. Saving my junior brother is more important than anything else."
"Although... I lost my destiny sword, fortunately with the help of the gold mercury alchemy liquid and the cloud sea sky realm, I am confident that the elixir will reach the third level and will not embarrass the master."
"I hope the master will be released from confinement as soon as possible. I would like to pay my respects here."
After reciting silently in his mind, An Zhisu gently leaned down and put his forehead on the ground.
There were only a few tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
