Three days later.
when! when! When...
The sect's golden bell rang nine times in a row, waking up all the disciples.
Regardless of whether they were practicing martial arts or refining elixirs and weapons, they all came out of seclusion and flew towards the main hall of the Earthfire Palace.
The disciples in the Qi refining stage looked solemn. Foundation Establishment True Person escaped into the hall and saw Elder Tang sitting upright.
"Meet Elder Tang!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand, glanced at the eight Foundation Establishment in the hall, and said slowly, "Not long ago, Senior Brother Feng passed away."
After hearing the words, everyone True Person stood up suddenly, with nervous and dignified expressions, and bowed in the direction of the Profound Fire Hall.
"Congratulations to Elder Feng!"
"Senior Brother Feng has cultivated his mind and nature in recent years and has never resorted to qi fighting. His life expectancy should be thirty or forty years."
Zhou Yi didn't try to figure out what they were thinking. He just suspected that Feng Yang died silently. It was most likely that someone he trusted took action. He simply said, "Let's go check the cause of death together. If there are any differences, we must avenge our senior brother!"
The group used Escape Light and came to the Profound Fire Hall Seclusion Chamber.
Feng Yang has gray hair and slightly closed eyes, sitting quietly on the futon. If it weren't for the deathly aura, he would be no different from a living person.
Golden Core True Lord has been practicing for hundreds of years. Even if he does not practice physical training, his physical body, nourished by Mana, has become as strong as fine gold and will not decay for a hundred years after being buried in a tomb.
The leader, Yuan Qi, was kneeling aside. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and looked at the person coming. "Greetings, Elder Tang."
"Condolences."
Zhou Yi Divine Sense swept through the Seclusion Chamber ban, and there was no trace of violent destruction. After carefully examining Feng Yang's corpse, it was completely normal.
"No problem is the biggest problem! If Senior Brother Feng died normally, he would have summoned Pindao and everyone before his death to explain the sect's funeral affairs, instead of quietly passing away!"
"Elder Tang is right."
When several Foundation Establishment True Person heard this, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and each used their magic to investigate.
As a result, there were no clues. According to the sect's ancient records, Feng Yang died in the same manner as the elders of the previous generation.
Zhou Yi asked, "Has the leader noticed anything strange in recent days?"
Yuan Qi recalled carefully, "Reporting to the elder, I paid my respects to my master yesterday and my hair seems to have turned a lot grayer."
Zhou Yi Have a vague guess in mind, Cultivation World There are so many heretical ways, it is not surprising that there are some spells that can destroy life span.
"Senior Brother Feng It must be an evil plot, but this matter will be investigated privately, and don't make it public, so as not to cause chaos in the sect and be taken advantage of by the demon!"
"I will obey His Majesty's decree!"
Earthfire Palace There is only one Grand Elder left. Now that the tone of this matter has been set, all True Person will follow suit.
Then the news of Yuan Qi's death was announced to the public. The disciples in the sect were all sad. They had been blessed by Feng Yang since they were born, and they were able to practice steadily until now. When they heard the bad news, they felt like heaven was falling.
At the time of the turmoil in the East Sea, all funeral arrangements were kept simple and only a few close friends were invited.
Fire bamboo forest.
The ghostly mist is billowing and the sinister wind is blowing.
Blood Moon Demon Lord constantly takes elixirs to refine them to alleviate the backlash of the spell as much as possible.
Huo Yan looked inexplicably excited. He was already thinking about how to cultivate internally and externally after taking control of the sect. In the future, he would unify East Sea and whether he should change his name. He always felt that Earthfire Palace's name was a bit petty.
"If I remember correctly, Feng Yang is your master."
Blood Moon Demon Lord slowly finished his work and said quietly, "Back then, Feng Yang prepared an elixir-forming spiritual object for you, but it fell into the formation and lost dozens of lives. Now, he died indirectly at your hands. Do you really have no idea?"
Huo Yan Hearing this, a chill ran down his spine. The demonic monks were always lenient towards themselves but strict towards others. He rolled his eyes and said sadly.
"This junior is naturally heartbroken, but Master's great ambition during his lifetime was for the Earthfire Palace to be prosperous and strong. Now with the Ghost King Sect's support, we can unify East Sea before our very eyes, and Master will surely be able to smile!"
"The thing containing the aura of Tang Xuan, are you ready?"
murderous intent flashed in Blood Moon Demon Lord's eyes. After Huo Yan became the leader of the Earthfire Palace, he made him into a puppet so that he would not have to smile in the future.
Huo Yan took out a futon from Storage Bag: "This is the Lecture Hall futon. After Tang Xuan finished teaching, the junior sent someone to steal it."
"Not bad."
Blood Moon Demon Lord took the futon, placed it in the altar, and cast Black Witchcraft Curse.
The ghosts and gods absorbed the futon and accepted the longevity sacrifice. The strange spells followed the breath and flew towards the Spirit Fire Hall.
Spirit Fire Hall.
Practice room.
Weird waves passed through Formation Restriction and tried to get into Zhou Yi's body. Black Tortoise Divine Armor suddenly flew out from Dantian and turned into a turtle shell to protect its whole body.
"Huh? Someone is trying to harm me!"
Zhou Yi immediately stopped practicing Pure Yang Scripture, pinched the magic formula with his hands to activate the layers of formations, and the Daoist robes on his body shone with dozens or hundreds of talismans.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger, he pressed the thought of turning into light escape. Divine Sense scanned it and noticed a trace of undetectable black energy floating outside the divine armor.
"A spell, or some kind of magical power? Someone is casting a spell to harm poor people!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand and scattered a few Thunder Method, easily annihilating 90% of the black energy, leaving only a few wisps left.
The purple thunder was wrapped in the palm of his hand, trying to catch the remaining black energy, but it dissipated as soon as he touched it.
"Hmm! Life span is short... about ten years?"
The moment the black energy dissipated, Zhou Yi noticed Longevity Dao Fruit trembling slightly. Due to the high number of consumption and recovery times in daily life, he was particularly sensitive to the increase and decrease in lifespan.
"This spell is quite weird. It can actually penetrate Formation Restriction and cut off the life essence. It's just that the power... is too bad."
Having said that, Zhou Yi cast Jade Dew Art, spending five hundred life yuan to irrigate Jianmu Tree.
Fire bamboo forest.
The ghost statue showed a ferocious smile, its eight eyes glowed with magic light, and its arms were waving as if to celebrate devouring longevity.
"It's done!"
Blood Moon Demon Lord Seeing this scene, he sneered and said, "This guy is bragging about the right path True Disciple. He must be an unqualified disciple in the sect, otherwise he would not be easily cursed."
Huo Yan looked happy, one step closer to mastering Earthfire Palace.
"Senior, since Ghost King Sect has such a wonderful method, why not cast a spell to kill the Righteous Dao Golden Pill? Then hide in the East Sea and wait for all Nascent Soul to disappear. Ghost King Sect will not only return to Jiuzhou, but also drive away all the Righteous Dao monks!"
"This spell has a long history and is the legendary Ancient Witchcraft."
Blood Moon Demon Lord said, "When it first appeared in the world, it has been prosperous for a long time. The ghost cultivator of this sect took advantage of the situation and scared the righteous True Lord into fearing to go out. However, there is no spell that cannot be broken. Nowadays, there are too many countermeasures, so it can only be used to bully the inexperienced East Sea cultivator."
Huo Yan suddenly said, "No wonder Senior only consumes a small amount of lifespan every time he casts a spell."
Blood Moon Demon Lord nodded and said, "Once encountering the backlash of the spell, the ghosts and gods will extract the same amount of vitality and longevity from the body of the person who cast the spell, so be careful and test it!"
Huo Yan said, "Now that the spell has been cast successfully, Tang Xuan is unable to counter the spell. Should we curse him to death quickly?"
"My ability to form elixirs in the Demon Sect depends on being cautious and careful. Don't rush for quick success!"
Blood Moon Demon Lord looked up in the direction of the Earthfire Palace and said coldly.
"What if Tang Xuan deliberately fell into the trap, but in fact he had prepared a countermeasure and was just waiting for me to take the bait? Or maybe Tang Xuan doesn't have much life left and I am wasting a hundred years in one go. Wouldn't it be wasted?"
