other side.
Han Yi was superimposed with silver Xiezang Saber under the golden Yuanxi Saber. I wanted to take advantage of it and chop off Xiao Gui with one knife, but I didn't expect that three monks with terrifying auras suddenly appeared.
In terms of aura, these three are all Golden Core peak cultivators. One of them, even among Golden Core's peak, is extremely outstanding and even has half the majesty of a true king. Han Yi has only seen such a threat from the Heaven's Will Sect's Lü Bai.
The person coming must be Vicious Slaughter True Person from Vicious Slaughter Mountain.
The colorful round bead, although it looked small, was as heavy as a mountain. It must be a middle-grade or even a high-grade magic weapon. It directly smashed Xiezang Saber, a low-grade magic weapon. Han Yi took back Yuanxi Saber without even thinking, and escaped below.
This long sword with two gold and one silver handles is a low-grade magic weapon he obtained by killing Primordial Beast Sect's Huang Yu. One is called Yuan Xi and the other is called Jie Zang. He didn't expect that the silver sword Jie Zang would be destroyed here.
but.
The goal of killing Tian Boyi has been achieved. The opponent has another powerful real person and three Golden Core peaks. If they stay, they will not be able to take advantage of them, and they will be in danger of death. Naturally, Han Yi will not embarrass the fat man.
So, without hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
After flying for dozens of miles, a faint crisis emerged in Han Yi's heart. It was the danger coming from behind. He knew that Vicious Slaughter Mountain's monks must have caught up, and among them there must be the most powerful real person.
Han Yi had a flash of inspiration and transformed. From his breath, he felt that at this moment, he had no monk side at all, but more like a Golden Core Stage demon cultivator.
After traveling hundreds of kilometers deep into the Myriad Demon Mountains, Han Yi took off, released Immortal Boat, and flew toward the southwest toward the Great Qian Immortal Kingdom. This operation, coupled with The speed was no slower than Vicious Slaughter True Person, and due to the confusion of Yiyao Secret Art, Xiu Tu behind him lost track of Han Yi halfway through the chase. He could no longer pursue him, so he could only turn around and return without stopping.
The ray of crisis behind him completely dissipated. Han Yi maintained the speed of Immortal Boat, as fast as lightning, passing by the Myriad Demon Mountains. During this period, he also discovered the aura of seven or eight foundation-building demon cultivators, and hunted them down casually.
but.
After passing the core position of the Myriad Demon Mountains, Han Yi suddenly noticed a dozen auras of Golden Core demon cultivators. These auras, at the core position, flew from the northwest to the Eastern Sea along Myriad Demon Mountains.
Han Yi stopped, felt the breath, but did not dare to stay any longer. The original idea of killing a few demon cultivators suddenly disappeared.
In his induction.
Among these Golden Core demon cultivators, there are three or four auras that are not much inferior to Vicious Slaughter True Person. Han Yi quickly accelerated and escaped very quickly.
"Where are so many Golden Core demon cultivators going to go?" Han Yi was confused for a moment and ignored it. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
After passing the core passage of the Myriad Demon Mountains and flying out for more than a hundred miles, Han Yi gradually slowed down and returned to normal.
Half a month later.
Han Yi finally crossed over to the Myriad Demon Mountains and saw a fairy city built only about two hundred miles away from the Myriad Demon Mountains, Azure Sun Immortal City, which was a small fairy city belonging to Qian Prefecture.
Han Yi did not stop in this fairy city, but bypassed the fairy city and continued to the west.
Where he is now, dozens of miles to the north is Great Qian Three Great Sects's Crimson Sky Sword Sect, and to the south, dozens of miles away is Yuanlao Mountain.
Han Yi looked at Yuanlao Mountain dozens of miles away, and could vaguely see the spiritual light overflowing from the broken spaces above Yuanlao Mountain.
He looked away, but suddenly paused. A certain thought flashed through his mind. As soon as this thought emerged, it was like an unprovoked chill that sprang up from the soles of his feet and rushed down his spine to the back of his head, instantly chilling his whole body.
Even though the sun was scorching and the sky was thousands of meters clear, Han Yi still couldn't help but shudder. An indescribable coldness penetrated into his limbs and bones, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Yuanlao Mountain, ancient corpse.
Tangu Mountains, cave, Soul Devouring.
The memory flickered, and the fear in Han Yi's heart deepened further, but he forced himself to remain calm and did not attack immediately. Instead, he swept forward as if nothing had happened.
However, his heart was no longer calm.
At this moment, he finally remembered.
In the cave, Han Yi thought that the weirdness behind him must be the weirdness that originally existed in the cave. Star River True Lord chose a weird cave and died in it, or Star River True Lord was caught by this weirdness after stepping into the Tangu Mountains.
As for Han Yi, we can only say that he is extremely lucky.
but.
At this moment, I replayed what happened at that time in my mind, and a more reasonable guess popped up in Han Yi's heart.
That is the strange existence that swallowed Star River True Lord's Nascent Soul. The strange existence that is close to him and standing behind him is not from Star River True Lord, nor from the cave itself, nor from the Tangu Mountains, but most likely from... himself.
That's right.
There are a lot of things about me that are difficult to explain, including the black beads in the sea of consciousness, and many things in Qiankun Ring.
For example, in the mysterious cave, there are black tokens with "year" and "candle" painted on them, such as Green Duckweed Sword, and another example...
Ancient corpse.
That's right.
If there is something that can swallow Star River True Lord Nascent Soul, by elimination method, Green Duckweed Sword is absolutely impossible. The black token is just a key, and it also does not have such power. He only has two things on his body, and the level of power revealed is completely beyond his knowledge.
One is a black bead in the sea of consciousness. This bead, obtained from Nine-Layer Void Domain's extremely deep depths, makes every existence in those layers of virtual realm more trembling than Han Yi's face to face with the god-transformation monk.
The other one is naturally the ancient corpse of a female cultivator in Qiankun Ring. This ancient corpse is lifelike and extremely heavy. It was found in the holy land where Yuanlao Mountain fell. According to speculation, this ancient corpse has existed for at least tens of thousands of years.
The black beads are not interested in things that have not entered the sea of consciousness. After that, Han Yi also checked the soul and the black beads, and there was nothing abnormal.
So.
The most likely possibility is that the female cultivator is an ancient corpse.
Among the Tangu Mountains, Han Yi was preconceived and did not suspect the strangeness to himself, so he did not have these associations. But at this moment, he happened to pass by Yuanlao Mountain, and he suddenly realized it.
But even with such speculation, Han Yi did not dare to start immediately. Instead, he continued to drive Immortal Boat to the northwest as if nothing had happened. However, he already had an idea in his mind, that is, to find an opportunity to get rid of this ancient corpse.
It is always an unstable factor when placed on his body. This time he was lucky and swallowed Star River True Lord's Nascent Soul. If the ancient corpse activates and devours him next time, he will have no ability to resist at all.
With this thought in mind, Han Yi speeds up.
One month later.
Looking at the sect in front, there was no change at all. Han Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. His consciousness spread out and landed in the sect. He noticed several Golden Core auras in the sect. Among them, Zhuge Wuyou was among them. He couldn't help but look happy.
Zhuge Wuyou also noticed Han Yi's consciousness and let go of Mystic Pill Peak's formation, letting Han Yi fall down and enter Mystic Pill Hall.
In less than three breaths, other Golden Core monks in the sect also arrived one by one.
Everyone sat down, and Han Yi directly asked Zhuge Wuyou about Shu Capital.
A hint of fear appeared on Zhuge Wuyou's face. After speaking slowly, Han Yi's face was shocked, which lasted for a long time.
More than two months ago, Shu Capital.
When Han Yi followed Zhenjun and other Golden Core monks deep into Demon Cave to uproot Heavenly Demon Ritual, Zhuge Wuyou stuck to the periphery of Demon Cave.
However, not long after, Demon Cave spread, instantly covering the position of the Mystic Pill Sect. Zhuge Wuyou did not hesitate and made a prompt decision. He directly took all the elders and disciples on Immortal Boat and retreated crazily.
This kind of retreat is also required by Demon-Exterminating Guard. When encountering the spread of Demon Cave, ordinary Qi training and foundation building are involved. If you are involved, let alone killing Heavenly Demon, whether you can block the invasion of Demon Cave's demonic energy is a problem. Therefore, in order to prevent the situation from worsening, you can only retreat.
But what shocked everyone at Zhuge Wuyou was that the core of the spreading Demon Cave began to erupt with earth-shattering vibrations. Then, the entire Shu Capital was directly pulled up and pulled up, which shocked Zhuge Wuyou.
In his more than three hundred years of life, this was the first time he encountered such a situation. After being stunned for a moment, he made a decisive decision and fled with the monks from the sect.
Not long after, the Demon Cave that enveloped the entire Shu Capital melted like spring snow, which puzzled Zhuge Wuyou, and the Shu Capital that was pulled upward began to fall rapidly.
but.
Before Shu Capital hit the ground, Zhuge Wuyou led everyone out of the range of Shu Capital and fled north.
As for Han Yi, Zhuge Wuyou didn't dare to stay even if he was worried. Shu Capital was robbed and was absolutely in a panic. If he stayed nearby, he would be in danger if he encountered some monks who took advantage of the chaos to rob and kill.
In addition to the broken Shu Capital, the Demon Cave has already dissipated. This time Immortal-Demon War, for some unknown reason, came strangely and dissipated suddenly, so Zhuge Wuyou did not stay, left Shu Capital, and returned to the Mystic Pill Sect.
More than a month followed.
Countless news, like snowflakes, scattered and gathered, and part of the truth about what happened on the day Shu Capital fell from the sky gradually spread.
Zhen Guogong, Wenxiang Cult, the true king rebelled, Great Qian, the Holy Land, Great Qin, Human Emperor Sword...
What is put on the table has so many forces involved.
Regarding the ins and outs of Demon Cave, Zhuge Wuyou is just guessing.
"Human Emperor Sword, that voice is indeed Emperor Great Qin, the most powerful monk Jade Balance Realm, who has already half-stepped into the semi-immortal level."
Han Yi looked at Zhuge Wuyou with a solemn expression.
Zhuge Wuyou nodded. The tone was complicated, but not angry, because, let alone him, let alone Mystic Pill Sect, this time, even Great Qian and many Zhenjun monks were just foils.
"Although I didn't see that Human Emperor Sword in the Shu Capital that was wrapped in Demon Cave, Great Qian other sects and many monks saw it."
"Add those two sentences from Emperor Great Qin."
"That's when I made a guess."
"The Duke of Zhen Guo opened the outside passage and built Demon Cave in order to build Earthly Demon Kingdom and get rid of Emperor Great Qian. But what he didn't know was that this round was originally promoted by Emperor Great Qian, in order to test Emperor Great Qin."
"Then, as the demon kingdom ascended, it was about to be pulled into the outer passage. When leaving Jade Balance Realm, the emperor Great Qin took action. With just one sword, he Destruction defeated the demon kingdom, and then Shu Capital fell from the sky."
"This should be the general context."
"And among Demon Cave, those rebellious true kings should have taken refuge with Duke Zhen Guo, and established Wenxiang Cult with Duke Zhen Guo as Saint Lord."
"After this battle, Wenxiang Cult will no longer exist."
"Wenxiang Cult It is said that only three of the eight guardians escaped Shu Capital. One of them was stopped halfway and fell on the spot. Only two escaped. Of those two who escaped, one was Star-Moon Sect's Star River True Lord, one is the contemporary sect leader Jade Cauldron Sect, and Jade Cauldron is the true king. Both of them are great monks in the late Nascent Soul."
Hearing this, Han Yi felt slightly awe-struck. One of these two true kings had died before his eyes.
"As for other more detailed matters, the outside world is mostly speculating, and there is no conclusive evidence."
"For example, why the Duke of Zhen Guo secretly established Wenxiang Cult, and even caused Demon Cave to land in Shu Capital, why Emperor Great Qin wanted to intervene, and what kind of conspiracy Emperor Great Qian was involved in. These involve too high a level, even if you dare to guess."
Han Yi nodded. Zhuge Wuyou's guess, combined with the fact that he was at the core of Demon Cave and Shu Capital escaped from behind, it should be basically the same as the disaster from the sky and Human Emperor Sword coming from the north.
Something suddenly occurred to him and he asked.
"Senior brother, how is Shu Capital, which fell and was broken that day, doing now?"
Han Yi went straight to the sect on this trip and did not pass by Shu Capital. Moreover, no other fairy cities fell on the way. Naturally, he did not know the current situation of Shu Capital.
"Great Qian has started to rebuild Shu Capital. The reconstruction of this giant fairy city that has experienced several fairy kingdoms will take too long. It will take at least decades to sort out the spiritual veins under the fairy city. This does not happen overnight."
"What about you, Junior Brother Han? Where have you been in the past two months, making me so worried?"
Zhuge Wuyou looked at Han Yi and asked. Han Yi did not elaborate. He only said that after escaping from Shu Capital, he panicked and headed south. He happened to encounter something and it took him more than a month to return.
Han Yi was obviously unwilling to say more, and no one asked him in detail.
"Next, if Junior Brother Han has no other important matters, just stay in charge of the sect. I, an old man, don't have to worry all day long."
Zhuge Wuyou said with a smile. His words were naturally half-joking. When Han Yi heard this, he also knew that Zhuge Wuyou was really worried since Qin Wuxian died.
First Yuan Shun disappeared, and then Qin Wuxian died. If someone really discovered the truth, a few late Golden Cores or one or two peak Golden Cores, Mystic Pill Sect would be in danger.
Next, everyone analyzed again and discussed the next policy with Han Yi based on the Mystic Pill Sect's current situation.
but.
For Han Yi, he was not good at these strategies for managing the sect and did not interfere much.
Professional things should be done by professional people. This has always been his philosophy.
After a while, after the discussion was over, Han Yi suddenly thought of something, turned his hand, took out a Qiankun Ring, and said to Shen Ping who was sitting on the side.
"Senior Brother Shen, I went out during this period and got some trophies. These trophies are of little use to me. I don't have any disciples in the sect, so I will leave them to you and return them to the sect for distribution."
Han Yi handed Qiankun Ring to Shen Ping. This Qiankun Ring was something he had killed many monks actively and passively over the years, things he had no use for.
These include some low-level Immortal Boat, magic weapons, storage bags, etc. Especially in the Qing Prefecture realm, hundreds of Vicious Slaughter Mountain monks were killed and twelve Immortal Boat ships were confiscated., hundreds of storage equipment, each equipment contains the entire savings of the corresponding monk. Among them, there are several Golden Core monks, including a Qiankun Ring of the late Golden Core monk.
Of course, for Spirit Stone, he kept all the third-level and above spiritual talismans and formations that were useful to Han Yi.
Even so, the remaining items are enough to build the smallest Golden Core sect.
Shen Ping glanced with his consciousness and his eyelids twitched.
There are indeed a lot of things in here. He looked at Han Yi and said meaningfully.
"Junior brother, it seems that there are many monks who have been unlucky in your hands."
Han Yi smiled, "Some people don't have eyes and want to die, so I have no choice but to grant him permission."
"But don't worry, senior brother, I am not someone who kills indiscriminately. These people are all people who deserve to be killed."
Shen Ping nodded, put Qiankun Ring away without saying anything more.
In today's sect, Zhuge Wuyou is the acting sect leader and has overall control over the sect's policies and trends. Si Hongxue assists. Lian Tingxi focuses on practice 80% of the time. Only Shen Ping does more things. In terms of sect management, he has to deal with the foundation-building elders more. It is most suitable for Qiankun Ring to be left to him.
Lian Tingxi, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhuge Wuyou and Han Yi, and said in a deep voice.
"By the way, there is one thing that we need to prepare for in advance. Ten years from now, there will be a sect level appraisal. If the sect master still comes Bu Gui by then, we have to have a plan for what needs to be done."
Han Yi was slightly startled. "Sect level appraisal?"
After hearing Lian Tingxi's words, Shen Ping also remembered this matter, frowned, and explained:
"Yes, I almost forgot about it."
"The sect appraisal is the sect appraisal within the entire Great Qian area, except for the Holy Land and Three Great Sects, which includes the eight Nascent Soul sects."
"In the Great Qian document, I, Mystic Pill Sect, am still only the Golden Core sect. However, the sect leader has made a breakthrough. Normally, as long as he comes forward, goes to the Great Qian Immortal Kingdom, and does a little registration, the level confirmation will be completed, and the fact that the sect has become the Nascent Soul Sect will be confirmed."
"But now that the sect master is missing, this matter will be difficult to handle."
Zhuge Wuyou also looked troubled, with thoughts in his eyes.
"Let's note this for now. There are still ten years. If the sect master has not returned in ten years, we will have to claim that the sect master has recently left the sect. By then, it will be fine whether I or Junior Brother Han go."
"It doesn't matter even if Great Qian decides that we are just the Golden Core sect."
Han Yi had an idea in his mind. Ten years later will be the sect level appraisal. Then he can show his face once in seven years. For example, Great Yong Qing Prefecture that he just went to, and another example is Yu Prefecture Immortal City from Great Qian.
Then Han Yi used Yuan Shun to leave the sect and go to Great Yong or Great Qin as an excuse to register the sect level. This is not considered a risk. If Great Qian does not agree, the application will be rejected at most, but the appearance of Yuan Shun can also dispel the temptation of some people.
but.
This kind of thing can be done once or twice, Shu Capital once before, Han Yi planned it again seven or eight years later, and then it can no longer be used. If it is used more than three times, it will be concealed and people will definitely notice it.
Han Yi expressed his thoughts, and everyone agreed. They had all seen Han Yi's Disguise Art with their own eyes, and had also checked it. If it weren't for the True Lord in person, they would basically not be able to detect Han Yi's disguise aura.
After some discussion, they each left.
Han Yi returned to Vermilion Bird Peak, his own supreme tower, sat down cross-legged, and reviewed and analyzed his experience on this trip.
After the sect's relocation, only seven years of stability had passed. In the past two years, several major events had occurred one after another. Han Yi was involved in all of these events. He refined the key words a little.
Huo Ming is missing, returning Great Qin, Yu Clan, Supreme Pavilion, Zhang Clan, Withered Wood True Lord, Bao Zheshen, Contemplation Academy, Qin Wuxian is dead, Shu Capital investigation, Wenxiang Cult, Star River True Lord, Demon Cave broke out, Zhen Guogong, Great Qian emperor, Great Qin emperor, all true monarchs, were taken captive, Great Yong Qing Prefecture, returned to the clan.
And in terms of strength.
In less than two years, he broke through to the middle stage of Golden Core. Both Ninefold Soul Pagoda and Sword Control Technique broke through to [Transcendent Saint]. Soul Evolution Technique's strength skyrocketed, and he was able to fight against the peak Golden Core.
but.
Faced with True Person Ranking's top ten monks, although he had never practiced it, Han Yi weighed it and concluded that he was one step behind.
True Person Ranking The criteria for identifying the top ten True Lords is that they can at least save their lives in front of the True Lord, and even go one step further and kill the True Lord in reverse.
For him at the moment, these two standards are still unable to be achieved.
in addition.
As his strength increases, Han Yi is in urgent need of a stronger mid-grade magical sword.
The one Han Yi is most accustomed to is naturally Green Duckweed Sword, but Green Duckweed Sword is a low-grade magic weapon and is no longer enough. He has no way to find another Green Duckweed Sword to fuse it in a short period of time. What's more, he can't tell whether there is a third Green Duckweed Sword.
Traceless Sword, Heavenchill Sword and Phantomflame Cauldron were all destroyed in Demon Cave. The middle-grade magic weapon in his hand was only a huge sword, Junque Sword, but this sword was not suitable for him.
So he was going to get a middle-grade sword from the sect. This time, he would naturally not buy it himself. Instead, he planned to ask Zhuge Wuyou directly to see if the sect had a middle-grade magical sword suitable for him.
at last.
In addition to the middle-grade magic sword, there is another problem that needs to be solved urgently.
That was the ancient corpse in his Qiankun Ring that was suspected of having swallowed the Star River True Lord Nascent Soul.
This is the big trouble.
