"Original beast, Que Chen!"

The handwriting on the note was messy, and Han Yi could already imagine how panicked Zhuo Qun was when writing this note.

"The Yuan Beast should be Primordial Beast Sect. The direction of this note is very clear. Que Chen is not unfamiliar either."

Han Yi frowned. This name was not unfamiliar. In the past year, he had gotten to know Great Qian many Golden Core monks, including Primordial Beast Sect who once teamed up with the Mystic Pill Sect.

Primordial Beast Sect is located in the northeast of Shu Capital, closer to Jinyun Immortal City than Mystic Pill Sect, but the distance is limited. This beast-controlling sect was once very close to the Mystic Pill Sect, and also held Joint Grand Competition and other initiatives.

but.

After the Heavenly Soul Sect killed Su Changkong and launched an attack on the Mystic Pill Sect, Primordial Beast Sect stopped and retreated from joining forces with the Mystic Pill Sect.

And after Yuan Shun broke through to the True Lord in danger and Mystic Pill Sect was promoted to the Nascent Soul Sect, Primordial Beast Sect was worried about the Mystic Pill Sect's revenge, so he was even more careful to guard against the Mystic Pill Sect, but in fact, Mystic Pill Death Tribulation has not ended. Mystic Pill Sect naturally has no time to deal with the relationship with the Primordial Beast Sect, so it has always maintained a delicate relationship.

From Han Yi's understanding, although Primordial Beast Sect has no true king, there are eleven Golden Core monks, among whom there is one named Que Chen.

"There is a secret compartment here, and only Zhuo Qun is qualified to know and open it. This note could only have been put down by him, and looking at the messy and scrawled handwriting, it is very likely that he left it before he disappeared."

"What happened when he disappeared to make a foundation-building monk even write in such a messy state?"

"Then, Primordial Beast Sect Que Chen should be the most obvious clue."

"So, my next message is to first check the inner disciples stationed there to see if there are any more clues, and then wait for Master Zhuge to arrive. After he arrives, we will look for the Primordial Beast Sect Que Chen together."

Han Yi will naturally not take action rashly. Even if he does encounter the murderer, he may not be able to deal with it. If he encounters Golden Core in the early stage, he can't win but can still run away. If Golden Core comes in the mid-term, he will have to fight hard. When encountering Golden Core in the late stage, he can't even run away.

He is very strong, but his current state is only in the late stage of foundation building. Moreover, it has only been a year and a half since he broke through to the late stage of foundation building. To be able to have the confidence to not lose in the early stage against Golden Core is something that has shocked many people.

Han Yi looked through other documents and found that they were all key bills. There were no other abnormalities, so he put the documents back into the secret compartment and put the note on the documents again without taking them away. Then he went up to the fourth floor and checked them in detail, but found nothing else.

His body swayed and he reached behind the Mystic Immortal Pavilion. Demon-Slaying Dagger escaped again with a slight stroke. His aura was restored and no trace was left behind.

Less than three breaths later, Han Yi landed in the station behind the Mystic Immortal Pavilion and turned into a shadow in the night. After searching for it, he met a familiar inner disciple.

Awakening this inner sect disciple, when his awakened instinct launched an attack, the pressure from the late stage of foundation building made him unable to move.

"Tian Chengxu, it's me, Han Yi."

Han Yi's figure suddenly changed, releasing Disguise Art and changing into his own appearance. Tian Chengxu was shocked. Although he calmed down, his face was still wary and he was dubious.

Tian Chengxu himself is the inner disciple of Azure Dragon Peak, and was promoted to Qi Refining Layer 7 around the same time as Han Yi.

However, Han Yi has broken through to the late stage of foundation building in just a few decades, and Tian Chengxu was attacked and killed by a robbery while going down the mountain, and was seriously injured. Although he recovered later, he was still at Qi Refining Layer 8. This time he went out with Zhuo Qun, hoping to fight hard and get more resources to see if he could be promoted to Qi Refining Layer 9.

In order to win his trust, Han Yi briefly described several scenes that Azure Dragon Peak and Tian Chengxu encountered.

"Of course, if you think I am stealing your memory to gain your trust, then there is no need. If I steal your memory, why would I pretend to wake you up."

Han Yi's words gained 90% of Tian Chengxu's trust, and the last 10% was left out of caution.

"Tell me, what exactly happened." Han Yi asked in a deep voice after contacting the suppressor.

Tian Chengxu stood up and said respectfully, "Meet Elder Han."

"The thing is like this. Ten days ago, Elder Zhuo suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night. We didn't know he was missing until the next day. Senior Brother Wei called us together and said that he had summoned the sect and waited for someone from the sect to come. During this period, just guard Mystic Immortal Pavilion."

"In the next three days, Senior Brother Wei looked very bad. I once thought it was because Elder Zhuo disappeared and Senior Brother Wei was worried about his master's safety. However, on the third day after Elder Zhuo disappeared, Senior Brother Wei went crazy with magic, as if he had turned into a monster. He tore the monks alive and rushed out of the attic. He was shot dead on the spot."

"That's the thing. We don't know anything else."

Tian Chengxu didn't know much, but one thing made Han Yi frown.

"You have a bad complexion and a crazy temper, like a monster?"

Tian Chengxu thought of the scene where Wei Tushen went crazy, and even he felt a little palpitated.

"That's right, I once completed sect missions and hunted monsters in the Myriad Demon Mountains. Now that I think about it, before Senior Brother Wei went crazy, there was something wrong in his eyes. It looked like a monster on the verge of losing control."

"By the way, when I first joined Primordial Beast Sect Joint Grand Competition, I saw the monks of the Primordial Beast Sect, and the monsters they commanded, when they looked at strangers, they looked similar to the way Senior Brother Wei looked before he went crazy."

Tian Chengxu's words made Han Yi basically confirm his guess.

Zhuo Qun is missing and Wei Tushen is going crazy. These two things are basically inseparable from the Primordial Beast Sect.

After a while.

Han Yi dodged and left Mystic Immortal Pavilion's station. Before leaving, he told Tian Chengxu to come first and Supreme Elder Zhuge Wuyou to come last, so that he didn't need to worry and could just do whatever he had to do.

Then, he flashed lightly and left the station.

With Return to Original Simplicity's Light Body Art, plus Disguise Art, as long as the monk Golden Core is not in front of him, or there is Nascent Soul Lord nearby, it is basically impossible to detect the traces of Han Yi.

But in less than ten breaths, he returned to the window of the escape inn, returned to the room, closed the window and door, and laid out Seven-Star Profound Origin Formation.

After thinking about it, I realized that Primordial Beast Sect was the biggest suspect, and it was not my gain this time, because even if I didn't come to that hidden compartment, I would still be able to find it when Zhuge Wuyou arrived. I would know it by looking at the note.

My trip this time was a show in vain.

Han Yi shook his head. Since nothing could be found, he could only wait for Zhuge Wuyou. During this time, he should continue practicing. Thinking of this, he took out Spirit Stone and started practicing.

After a quarter of an hour, he opened his eyes suddenly and his expression changed drastically.

"No."

When Han Yi noticed something was wrong, it was already too late. A strange Formlessness aura had been integrated into the spiritual energy and entered his body as he practiced. Only when this aura gathered into the sea of consciousness and penetrated into the soul did Han Yi suddenly wake up.

This strange aura is Formlessness qualityless, neither mana nor spiritual consciousness can be detected. When they enter the sea of consciousness space, they begin to take form. In just an instant, even Han Yi has no time to react before they merge into the soul.

The soul that was originally sitting cross-legged suddenly shook and stood up abruptly. The desire to destroy and kill began to emerge. An urge to tear everything apart and kill anyone in sight arose spontaneously.

At the same time, his realistic eyes suddenly turned red, revealing a bloodthirsty look, as if he had instantly turned into a demon cultivator that was about to lose control.

"Damn it."

Han Yi closed his eyes suddenly and let out a low roar. The soul in the sea of consciousness suddenly transformed into a tower. However, in the past, it was almost always possible to transform into a tower. This time, it transformed into Soul Tower. It only suppressed the destruction and killing, but did not disappear completely. If it was not careful, it would definitely run out of control.

"This should be the reason why Wei Tushen lost control and killed people."

"Furthermore, the disappearance of Zhuo Qun may have been caused by a conspiracy. He sensed something was wrong, so he hastily left a scrawled note and went elsewhere. However, the lack of news also proves that he may have been killed."

Han Yi Two thoughts came to his mind. These two thoughts involved his extremely weak energy. Even so, the desire for destruction that he Soul Tower had suppressed rebounded violently, and he almost couldn't control it. He had to abandon all distracting thoughts immediately and use it to suppress the desire to kill.

Just when Han Yi was focusing all his attention on suppressing this explosive desire to kill and destroy, a black shadow suddenly appeared in his room.

The black shadow walked up to Han Yi and looked at Han Yi, with naked murderous intent in his eyes without any concealment.

"No matter what grudges you have with the Mystic Immortal Pavilion, if we bump into each other at this time, just in case, you will die."

"If you want to blame it, blame it on your bad luck."

The black shadow pointed at Han Yi. A shadow on his shoulder, only the size of a palm, suddenly jumped down and turned into a two-meter-tall monster the moment it landed.

No, it is not a monster. Judging from the breath, this should be a demon cultivator, and it is also a Golden Core Stage demon cultivator. However, because of the contract, it does not appear in human form, but still acts as a monster.

Han Yi in Seven-Star Profound Origin Formation suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were scarlet, his pupils zoomed in and out rapidly, and he was on the verge of losing control.

"Primordial Beast Sect, Que Chen!"

He growled, and this growl pushed him closer to the edge of killing, just a hair away from falling completely out of control.

"Huh?"

The black shadow appeared, and he was suddenly shocked. He did not expect that Han Yi could actually call out his name. His face changed slightly, and with a thought, he had already sent the thought to his contracted monster, Golden Ni Beast.

And Han Yi in Seven-Star Profound Origin Formation, at this moment, a magic talisman has appeared in his hand.

Third level talisman, Three-Spirit Immortal-Slaying Talisman.

At this moment, my soul is polluted, and I can't exert nearly 10% of my strength. Only this talisman can give me a try.

Too fast.

The danger this time came so quickly that he didn't have any time to prepare.

The desire to kill that emerges from the soul should be some kind of poison targeting the soul. This poison can plunge you into destruction and killing, making it impossible to prevent it.

All strength is useless in the face of this poison.

Han Yi He didn't even have time to think about it, because with every additional thought, the feeling of loss of control in his soul got further.

In the face of life and death, he could only take out the third-level spiritual talisman.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, the moment he took out the magic talisman, a strange change suddenly occurred in the sea of consciousness space.

The high-hanging consciousness sea space showed no reaction at all to the divine soul, Soul Sword, or soul skills. It just took care of itself, attracting the gray-white air around the consciousness sea space, and suddenly turned half a circle.

Han Yi The whole person froze. Whether it was the soul, the sea of spirit, or the mana of the body, it seemed that the pause button had been pressed, and it came to a complete stop. Only consciousness could still flow.

At this moment, one of his previous speculations resurfaced.

This black bead is really the eyeball of a certain type of creature. At this moment, the eyeball that has turned half a circle, Han Yi feels, is looking in the direction of the soul.

The next moment.

A Formlessness qualityless breath was extracted from Han Yi's soul, instantly pulled up and submerged into the black beads suspended above.

The bead turned back half a circle, as if it had done an insignificant thing, and then continued to attract the gray energy.

Everything was the same as before, except that the killing desire to destroy everything in Han Yi's soul dissipated instantly.

All changes are completed in an instant.

Just at this time.

The Golden Ni Beast, which was more than two meters high, stretched out its claws and gently swiped forward, then scratched Seven-Star Profound Origin Formation. Array Disk cracked and shattered on the spot.

This formation was given to him by Yuan Shun during his Qi training stage. Whenever he went to a place, his habitual arrangement would only serve as a warning. But at this moment, facing the demon cultivator with Golden Core's cultivation, he was destroyed with just a slight scratch of his claws.

The demon cultivator who broke the formation showed a trace of salivation in his eyes, as if he had seen an expression of a peerless spiritual being.

The next moment.

The scarlet light in the eyes of Han Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, completely dissipated. Without even thinking about it, he directly inspired Three-Spirit Immortal-Slaying Talisman. At the same time, his consciousness spurted out crazily. The anger that was on the verge of death in an instant completely erupted. The purple sword behind him was already packed with the most terrifying power and bombarded out.

Sword Control Technique, Separation Fire Sword Art, third-order Fallen Immortal Talisman.

In an instant, his counterattack was so decisive.

Three-Spirit Immortal-Slaying Talisman fell on the monster beast, and Seven-Star Kunwu Sword also fell on the monster beast.

The magic talisman burned out, Han Yi pointed at the monster, and a black thunder jumped out of the void and landed on the monster's head.

However, before the thunder fell, the intertwined purple and red light had already flashed past, piercing the monster's head without losing force, and its speed increased again, directly hitting Que Chen.

As quickly as the rabbit had risen and the falcon had fallen, the situation had been reversed. This time was so short that it did not even last an instant.

First, Han Yi was poisoned and took out Three-Spirit Immortal-Slaying Talisman. Then, Que Chen used the demon beast to transform into its true form and cut through the Xuanyuan Formation with one claw. Then, in Han Yi's sea of consciousness space, the black beads sensed the crisis and took the initiative to help Han Yi to rescue him and eliminate the demon poison in Han Yi's soul.

Then Han Yi burst out, furious, and attacked with all his strength.

boom!!

The room was shattered, Myriad Immortals Inn's defensive formation shook for a while, and countless people were alarmed. However, this sudden burst of momentum was obviously that of the Golden Core monks. Even the Myriad Immortals Inn peak foundation-building monks guarding this place chose to avoid the edge for the time being and did not dare to show their strength.

The terrifying thunder penetrated several floors of rooms and shattered a wall of the inn.

A demonic beast was blasted out and hit the street in front of the inn. It rolled out for several hundred meters and coincidentally hit the Mystic Immortal Pavilion sealing formation diagonally opposite, causing the sealing formation to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards.

A human figure followed closely behind the monster, spilled blood, and flew away. Behind it, a Sword Control Dao Art human figure chased after it.

Less than three breaths.

In addition to Myriad Immortals Inn being harmed, the monks on the upper and lower floors of the room where Han Yi was located were also injured. Apart from the appearance of a dead demon cultivator on the scene, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

Ten breaths passed before Myriad Immortals Inn, the foundation-building monk, dared to come out to check the situation. After another ten breaths, Great Qian Six Ministries, the monk on duty, rushed to the scene.

other side.

Han Yi Sword Control Dao Art rose up and hunted down Que Chen.

At this moment, Que Chen was not escaping out of the city, but escaping somewhere within the city. His condition was very bad, one arm was missing, blood was spraying out, but there was no time for treatment. His eyes were even more horrified.

"Damn it, how can this guy be so strong?"

"Obviously he was in the late stage of foundation building, but he killed my contracted monster in an instant and cut off my arm."

"No, the other party may be monk Golden Core. If he knows my name, he should be Mystic Pill Sect. However, I know both monk Golden Core from the Mystic Pill Sect. Could it be that he is the newly promoted one?"

"No, it's still not right."

"And the most important thing is that the opponent is even immune to my Spirit-Wrecking Demon Venom, which is incredible."

Due to carelessness, one arm was cut off, and the Spirit-Wrecking Demon Venom he took from the sect was immune to Han Yi. In Que Chen's heart, Han Yi's identity, realm and strength were shrouded in a layer of mystery.

This was also the main reason why he turned around and ran away in fear without hesitation.

Spirit-Wrecking Demon Venom, but the poison extracted by the Primordial Beast Sect from the corpse of the peak-level demon cultivator Golden Core can be regarded as a treasure even in the Primordial Beast Sect. As long as it is not Golden Core level, it is basically impossible to remove it on its own.

Under Golden Core, depending on the dose of the medicine, based on the amount of poison he administered today, Han Yi should only be able to last for a few short breaths before he will fall into a violent and bloodthirsty state, completely lose his mind, and turn into a monster that only knows how to kill.

Moreover, a monk who has been poisoned by the demon will only follow his instincts after falling into a murderous rage, but he does not have the powerful physical body and innate magical power of the demon beast. He cannot even cast spells normally. Even if he attacks him, the attack power is negligible.

This kind of evil poison confuses people's minds, but does not make the poisoned person stronger.

It was precisely because it was confirmed that Han Yi had won Spirit-Wrecking Demon Venom that he dared to appear in front of Han Yi so relaxed.

But for some reason, this monk could recover so quickly. This was what shocked him the most.

Abrupt.

The sword weapon behind suddenly accelerated and bombarded him. Que Chen's expression changed, and he activated two spiritual talismans in his hand, one defensive talisman and one Teleportation Talisman.

The defensive talisman blocked Seven-Star Kunwu Sword from Han Yi, and Teleportation Talisman allowed him to teleport a hundred meters away, giving him another chance to breathe.

The beast master was killed and one of his arms was broken off. His strength was already at a minimum. Faced with Han Yi, he was so frightened that he couldn't even fight head-on.

In less than a cup of tea, a building appeared in front of him, and Que Chen's eyes were filled with joy. As long as he escaped there, he would be able to survive.

Right now.

Han Yi in the rear had a ferocious look on his face, with murderous intent rising in his eyes.

Without saying anything, a dagger appeared in his hand, a golden dagger.

Demon-Slaying Dagger.

Han Yi put away Seven-Star Kunwu Sword and took out Blacklight Broken Sword. Divine consciousness surged out and blessed the broken sword. The broken sword broke through the top speed in an instant and blasted away. Que Chen, who was escaping, showed a look of fear and activated two spiritual talismans again.

but.

This time, before encountering the defensive mask inspired by the talisman, Blacklight Broken Sword directly self-destructed, shattering the mask with a bang.

Then, a golden light flashed right after him.

A hundred meters away from the self-destruction of the magic weapon, Que Chen suddenly froze, his horrified eyes froze, and a wound penetrated his head from back to front.

Just at this time.

He just happened to step into the sky above the building where he was about to escape. In that building, there was a figure rising into the sky.

"How dare you, Fang Xiaoxiao, to cause trouble in the Ten Thousand Arts Sect's residence?"

"Huh?"
