"Senior Yun." After realizing that Yun Li was most likely not one of the masterminds, Jiang Beiran raised his hand towards him, "No matter what, it is certain that your brother wants to kill me. Regarding this matter, Senior Yun, I don't know.
What do you think?"
"this……"
Yun Li was stunned by the question, and at the same time he realized that now was not the time to wonder why Yun Ruo would do such a thing.
Since Guliang Immortal Lord has now brought seven Xuansheng to the door, it means that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.
And what is the concept of killing Jiang Beiran at this juncture?
This means that Yuancheng and even the entire Tong Kingdom will be buried with him!
This kind of crime is enough to directly define him as a traitor, a traitor to mankind!
Such a crime made Yun Li feel suffocated. If he dared to protect his younger brother, he would be greeted with the anger of the entire Yuan City. Look at the eight Xuansheng who were waiting in front of him.
Yun Li could only say "I can't afford to offend him".
Even though Potian Sect is one of the four major sects in Tong Kingdom, it can never commit such public outrage.
Yun Li really felt a little dizzy at the moment. The wound on his back was itching and he felt uncomfortable all over. Now he felt even more exhausted both physically and mentally. He just wanted to fall down and have a good sleep first, and then think about what to do.
.
It's a pity that the eight Xuansheng in front of him obviously will not give him such time.
'What's going on...Why did the second child do such a thing?'
Yun Li was really thinking hard, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why his brother would do such a thing at this juncture. It wouldn't do any good!
Seeing Yun Li's expression changing constantly, Jiang Beiran reminded him: "Senior Yun, why don't you think about your brother's recent abnormal behavior, before or after the Gu cultivator attacked."
After hearing this, Yun Li shook his head and said: "No, are you suspecting that my brother is collaborating with the enemy and has something to do with Gu cultivators!?"
"No." Jiang Beiran also shook his head, "It's not a suspicion, it's a confirmation. Apart from this reason, can Senior Yun think of any other reason worthy of my brother doing such a thing?"
After hearing this, Yun Li fell silent again, because what Jiang Beiran said was absolutely right.
At this time, besides making money for those Gu cultivators, what other reason could there be for doing this kind of thing?
"Seniors, please let go of Senior Yun first. I believe he is indeed completely unaware of his brother's affairs."
After hearing this, Gu Liangqian nodded and made a gesture to indicate to the other Xuan Sages to release their Xuan Shi.
When all the Xuan Sages released their Xuan Shi, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and looked at Yun Li and said: "Senior Yun, I know you must be very worried about your brother now, and I also know that you are also confused like us now, but in this life and death situation,
Actually, I hope you can help us first figure out the reason why your brother did this. Maybe... he was also forced or even manipulated."
Upon hearing the three words "manipulated", everyone present was shocked.
If this poison really has such an effect, then it will only be a matter of time before they are defeated one by one.
All Xuansheng shuddered at the thought that during the battle with Gu cultivators, their companions might stab them from behind.
If they had heard this kind of thing normally, they would definitely sneer at it.
With their profound knowledge and state of mind, as well as the spiritual fantasy tower created by their thoughts, it is impossible for anyone to completely control them mentally.
But now they are really a little bit stunned by the poison and are afraid of it.
Not only was his cultivation level completely sealed by this poison, but his life was also in danger at any time.
They have never seen such a powerful poison before, so even if they don't dare or don't want to believe it, they still have to be prepared that this poison can indeed control their minds.
The reason why Jiang Beiran asked this question was naturally because he had also used voodoo to control people.
However, his control was mainly based on threats. Jiang Beiran still found it a bit unimaginable to really use Gu to completely control a person, and he was also a Xuan Sage.
Although the Gu cultivator must have inherited the mysterious art of poisoning very well, Jiang Beiran's poisoning points are also quite high, ranking in the top five among all the mysterious arts.
If the Gu Master of Xuanlong Continent also had a rank, it would be appropriate for him to be a ninth rank.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran believes that even if those Gu cultivators are better than him in Gu skills, they are not that advanced.
Unless...they have a "Tenth Grade" Gu Master.
This is not Jiang Beiran's unfounded speculation, because the miasma alone is a bit out of line for Jiang Beiran.
It was just like when he got into Peking University with perfect scores in the college entrance examination, and then his tutor took out a book of quantum mechanics and asked him to study on his own.
'I can't understand it!'
After all, this miasma is super high-end, super-model, and an absolute BUG-level environment card. If it were put into the game, it would definitely be cut in several versions.
But the reality is not so reasonable. This miasma problem must be solved slowly by themselves.
Therefore, if the other party can release this kind of miasma, it is completely understandable that there is any kind of Gu technique that can control Xuansheng's body and mind.
They are all bugs anyway. If there is one, there will naturally be a second one.
"Master Jiang... do you think my brother... might really be controlled by those Gu cultivators?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, so I hope that Sect Master Yun can cooperate with us to find out the truth together, and maybe we can help your brother regain his sanity."
"Okay, let me think about it again, think about it again..."
Hearing Yun Li's words, Gu Liangqian couldn't help but elevate Jiang Beiran's position in his heart.
Words skills, absolute words skills!
There is no poison that can control Ren Xin. This is just a trick used by Jiang Beiran. Once Yun Li knows that his brother may still be saved, he will naturally cooperate fully.
This is much more effective than torture.
'No wonder he can do many arts. He is indeed a top-notch smart man. He made a Xuan Sheng obey in just a few words.'
Seeing that Yun Li was willing to cooperate fully, Jiang Beiran continued to guide: "Senior Yun, it may not have happened recently. It may have happened even longer ago. As long as there is any abnormal situation, you can tell it and we will help
Please think about the reasons together."
"Longer..." Yun Li said and his expression suddenly changed, becoming very ugly.
"I wonder what Senior Yun thought of?"
After hearing this, Yun Li couldn't help but take a deep breath. His clenched fists were clenched and unclenched, and then clenched and clenched...
It was obvious that he was struggling internally.
Jiang Beiran did not rush him and just waited quietly. Although the other Xuanshengs were a little impatient to wait, because Jiang Beiran had said before that if it was not a fierce battle but a negotiation, then please let him
Just come.
Although Jiang Beiran said this very euphemistically, Gu Liangqian and the others still understood it.
It means asking them not to interrupt and not to interfere.
Although they were a little unhappy to be said so by a junior, but thinking about his abilities, in the end...
Bear it!
As time passed by, Yun Li's tense expression suddenly relaxed.
"well……"
Taking a long breath, Yun Li looked at the people around him and said, "Originally this was my brother's secret, but now that it has happened, I can no longer hide it for him."
Then, with everyone's expectant eyes on him, Yun Li slowly said: "My brother... I have been to Xuanji Island."
"Um!?"
The three words "Xuanji Island" instantly caused all the Xuan Sages present to exclaim in low voices, and all made difficult expressions that were both disbelief and sudden realization.
Jiang Beiran was still a little dazed when he first heard the words Xuanji Island. He only felt that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was.
But as he searched the memory bank, these three words became clear at once.
Xuanji Island, Ji Qinglin once said that he wanted to take a chance on Xuanji Island.
That mysterious island that is surrounded by black mist all year round.
The Xuanji Island where Xuanwang enters and Xuanzun comes out.
Ji Qinglin once regarded it as a trump card to protect the Sheng Kingdom, but now Jiang Beiran finally saw the people who came back from Xuanji Island with his own eyes.
'That's not right...'
Jiang Beiran remembered that there were only six cultivators who came out of Xuanji Island alive, and they were all well-known figures. Why was there another one now?
But putting these details aside for now, Jiang Beiran gradually showed a look of enlightenment.
What is the biggest feature of Xuanji Island?
Most people never return, but those who can come back have lost all their memories and gained a profound level of cultivation.
This is almost like being controlled by a evil spirit.
As for why there are so few people released, there are a lot of reasons just think about it. The talent is not enough for explosive growth, the poison mind control technique is not mature, so most people died in the experiment, etc.
In short, from the current perspective, Xuanji Island is most likely the base camp of Gu cultivators.
So they weren't driven out of Xuanlong Continent at all as the book said, but they found a place to hide in Xuanlong Continent?
In addition, if this is the truth, Jiang Beiran's other question will also be answered.
That is, the last time a miasma appeared in the Sheng Kingdom, it was activated by sacrificing villagers from a small fishing village. Based on this reasoning, it would definitely require a more cruel ritual to activate the miasma covering the entire Xuanlong Continent.
Both the scale and the number of people who need to sacrifice will far exceed that of that small fishing village.
Jiang Beiran had been thinking about who helped the Gu cultivator, but now it seems that it should be these people who came back from Xuanji Island.
'So...the miasma in Sheng Kingdom last time was just an experiment for them?'
The more Jiang Beiran thought about it, the more he realized that there was nothing wrong with it. Sheng country was remote and weak, and was not in the eyes of the six countries at all. It was perfect for a large-scale experiment.
"Damn it...when did these Gu cultivators start planning a counterattack..."
Jiang Beiran felt his scalp was numb. This seemingly destructive blitzkrieg had actually been secretly planned for countless years. On the surface, only six people came out of Xuanji Island.
But who knows how many "accidents" there are like Yun Ruo?
How many people secretly came out of Xuanji Island and became "traitors" to help them carry out their counterattack plan.
Jiang Beiran's scalp felt numb just thinking about it.
At this time, the other Xuansheng's mental state was the same as Jiang Beiran's, and they were also numb at the moment.
As the top experts in Xuanlong Continent, although they also know about Xuanji Island, their understanding of Xuanji Island is not much better than Jiang Beiran's.
This island surrounded by black fog all year round has nothing but mystery.
Other than knowing that you can get a chance to become stronger and come back inside, you don't know anything else.
Of course, they also sent people to try to enter, but they were all just meat buns beating dogs.
But now, all the doubts correspond to the current situation one-to-one, and it is difficult not to think that Xuanji Island is the base camp of Gu cultivators.
When they thought that the enemy's lair had been under their noses for so long, several Xuansheng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
But this cannot be entirely blamed on them. After all, there are too many mysterious islands that cannot be explained like Xuanji Island. For example, Jinding Island, which Jiang Beiran once visited, many of them are existences that Xuansheng cannot do anything about.
So gradually they became accustomed to the fact that Xuanlong Continent was full of islands that could not be explored for the time being.
And today seems to be the time for them to pay the price for their carelessness.
"call……"
At this time, Gu Liangqian let out a long breath, looked at Yun Li and said, "Sect Master Yun, can you tell me specifically what's going on?"
Now that he had revealed that his brother had been to Xuanji Island, Yunli naturally did not intend to hide anything anymore, so he answered after hearing Gu Liangqian's question.
"That was more than forty years ago. Aruo's talent in cultivation has not been very high since he was a child. He has always been an unknown existence in the sect, but I can see that every time he sees me, there is something in his eyes.
The desire, the desire to become stronger.”
"But he knows very well that it is impossible to catch up with or even surpass me through practice. What he couldn't do when he was a teenager is even more impossible for him to do now that he has entered middle age. When such a desire breaks out in a concentrated way
, he chose to take advantage of the mystery without communicating with us at all."
"He disappeared like this for a year. One day he suddenly returned home and showed his peak Xuanzun cultivation. It was only then that we knew that he had gone to Xuanji Island."
"After learning about this, the family leader first blamed him for being reckless, but since he has returned safely, he didn't blame him for anything."
"Like those who came out of Xuanji Island, Aruo also lost all his memories after entering Xuanji Island, but one thing he insists on is that he does not want others to know that he obtained this body cultivation on Xuanji Island.
for."
Hearing this, all Xuansheng looked at Yun Li with doubtful eyes.
Everyone, including Jiang Beiran, was thinking the same thing.
'Is it because he doesn't want to say it? I'm afraid you and your family don't want to say it.'
Although it is not a shameful thing to obtain cultivation from Xuanji Island, everyone is doing it, but compared to relying on external help, the Xuansheng you have cultivated yourself is undoubtedly more admirable, and it is better to recruit geniuses to join their Breaking Heaven Sect.
So concealing this information must be "harmless" to them.
"Did your brother do anything unusual after coming back?" Gu Liangqian asked.
After hearing this, Yun Li shook his head and replied: "Aruo is not a child anymore. I can't keep an eye on him all the time. What exactly has he done...actually, I don't know."
