Chapter 345 Soul Search
Only Hua Rongrong knew that all this was done by the master, but she didn't know what method this mysterious master used.
Xiao Shi and others were even more confused, and kept muttering in their hearts. I wonder if Liu Changsheng and others had any conspiracy. How could a crisis be resolved inexplicably?
Some time after that, Xiao Lin made a special trip to the Immortality Sect and found out that the people behind the Eternal Life Sect were two practitioners at the fifth level of Qi Refining. These two people had been practicing for decades. It has been stuck in the middle stage of Qi refining, unable to make any progress.
Only then did they remember that they could reenter the secular world and live a comfortable life as a mortal, and with their cultivation, it was not impossible to make their remaining lives prosperous and wealthy.
However, in the Tianlu Mountains, the five major sects once strictly prohibited cultivators from interfering in mundane matters. The five major sects also formulated rules. Every year, several foundation-building monks would patrol the mundane affairs.
On the one hand, it is to inspect whether there are external forces controlling the secular world of Tianlu Mountains, and on the other hand, it is to prevent cultivators from disturbing the rules of the secular world.
Therefore, these two people hid behind the scenes and coerced Liu Changsheng, an innately accomplished warrior, to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world, in order to collect gold and silver treasures and satisfy their desire for glory and wealth.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin directly killed the two people on the spot in the name of the patrol, collected their bags, and then warned Liu Changsheng before leaving the Immortality Cult.
However, the Immortality Cult did not leave Huai County. Instead, it intensified. The disciples of the Immortality Cult bullied the Bailiantang disciples in every possible way. The strange thing was that no one was bleeding to death. Instead, there were fights and fights, which happened every three days.
This made Xiao Shi feel anxious, and under Hua Rongrong's introduction, Xiao Lin also moved into the Xiao family as a manager. With Hua Rongrong's strong persuasion, and with the support of Xiao Shan and Xiao Zhi, Xiao Shi finally agreed to their proposal.
"Disband Bailiantang and move to Yunlong City."
In fact, as early as the rise of the Immortality Sect, Xiao Shi had already purchased property in Yunlong City, just to prepare for emergencies. Compared with Huai County, Yunlong City belonged to the official family. Although these people in the world were also They will occupy themselves and strive for some benefits.
But they didn't dare to fight each other blatantly. This was also the reason why Xiao Shi chose this place, just to give himself a way out in case Bailiantang lost to the Changsheng Sect.
But Xiao Shi didn't know that the man behind all this was the inconspicuous black-faced young man next to Hua Rongrong.
In a dark night, Xiao Shi's family quietly left the county seat of Huai County, and the Xiao Mansion in the west of the city was also burned to ashes in a fire.
After that, news suddenly came out from Huai County that Bailiantang, which had been in Huai County for decades, was disbanded...
For a moment, everyone in the world raised eyebrows. After all, Xiao Shi was a legend in the world. He advanced to the Great Innate Achievement in his twenties, took over as the leader of the hall a few years later, and dominated the world for decades without a single defeat.
But in the end, he was defeated by the sudden rise of the Immortality Cult, which made these people in the world sigh. The legend of a generation of martial arts came to an end.
And one day a few months later, a shocking rainbow flew from the sky, hovered in the sky for a while, and then fell into the county seat of Huai County.
Seeing this scene, countless people knelt down and prayed for blessings from God.
In front of the ruins in the west of Huai County, a wrinkled old woman appeared, and behind her stood a middle-aged man in his forties.
If Xiao Lin saw this scene, he would naturally recognize at a glance that this wrinkled old woman was the fierce and powerful Granny Yuanbao.
Looking at the ruins in front of her, Granny Yuanbao had a look of surprise and uncertainty on her face.
"Is this Xiao Lin's secular residence?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. The disciple has been investigating in Huai County for several days. It seems that the Xiao family was wiped out by the Changsheng Cult."
"How could there be such a coincidence?" Mother-in-law Yuanbao showed an expression of disbelief on her face. After thinking for a while, she said, "Go and capture the people from the Immortality Sect to my grandma."
"yes."
The middle-aged man was surrounded by spiritual light, and in the next moment, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace.
Grandma Yuanbao stood quietly in front of the ruins, her face constantly changing: "Xiao Lin, no matter where you escape, I will extract your soul and refine it, torture you for seven or forty-nine years, and then sacrifice you to become a monk." The Soul-Splitting Yuanbao will make you taste all the pain in the world, huh.”
After less than half an hour, a golden light flashed in front of Granny Yuanbao, and the middle-aged man appeared again, holding a man and a woman in his left and right hands.
"Their leader suddenly went crazy while practicing a few days ago and has disappeared. These two people are the two envoys of the Immortality Religion and the current leaders of the Immortality Religion."
"You tell me everything you know about the Xiao family. If you tell me anything that is not true, your life will be worse than death."
This man and woman were the two people who followed Liu Changsheng at the beginning. They could not understand that with their innate realm skills, they were unable to fight back in front of this middle-aged strong man.
"Is it possible that these two people are also immortals?" When Xiao Lin killed the two cultivators behind the Immortality Sect, only Liu Changsheng was present, so they did not know what happened after that.
Just seeing Granny Yuanbao's fierce face, the two of them were frightened. Knowing that what the old woman said was probably not an empty threat, they told them everything they knew.
They kept talking for an hour before they finished. After listening carefully, Granny Yuanbao suddenly laughed strangely and stretched out her two hands like bird claws. The two people were caught by them without the slightest resistance. Caught above the head.
As soon as the expressions of horror appeared on their faces, their expressions froze.
Granny Yuanbao obviously didn't believe them and wanted to verify it through the soul-searching method. The reason why Granny Yuanbao took the trouble to listen to them was mainly because although the soul-searching method can get the information she wants from the other party's soul consciousness, .
However, the information obtained is usually very fragmented, and sometimes part of it is lost, unless Grandma Yuanbao is willing to spend more time and concentrate on searching for souls bit by bit, so that she can get all the information without missing a beat.
Obviously Granny Yuanbao didn't have this patience. After a while, she threw the two corpses on the ground with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Through the soul search, she found that the two people did not lie to her, but there was no information she wanted. Looking at the ruins in front of her, Grandma Yuanbao couldn't believe that the Xiao family had really been wiped out.
It's too much of a coincidence that he didn't destroy the family early and he didn't destroy it later, but he destroyed the family just when he came.
But she had no choice. No matter how small the Yuxi country was, it only had a radius of tens of thousands of miles. If the other party continued to remain anonymous, she would not be able to kill all the mortals in the entire Yuxi country. Let alone how long it would take to kill like this. The consequences of too many mortals were beyond her ability to bear.
After thinking about it, Granny Yuanbao couldn't think of a better way. This made her teeth grind loudly and her face was full of ferociousness. Even the middle-aged monk next to her was frightened when she saw Granny Yuanbao's expression. , I didn’t dare to take a breath.
"Hmph." An angry shout came, and Grandma Yuanbao suddenly turned into a golden light, soared into the sky, and after flying into the void hundreds of feet high, suddenly turned into a golden glow several miles in size.
Seeing this wonderful scene, many people in Huai County immediately knelt on the ground with joy on their faces and worshiped one after another.
At this time, a cold snort came, followed by the golden glow that rolled up. After extending, it suddenly turned into a golden glow and flew towards the distance. Above the void, dozens of huge golden ingots fell from the sky. , falling towards Huai County.
Seeing so many gold ingots falling, the people in Huai County all showed expressions of surprise, thinking that it was gold ingots dropped from the sky. However, they did not know that these gold ingots were fatal.
Dozens of gold ingots exploded one after another the moment they landed on the ground, and the golden glow spread. All mortals who were passed by this golden glow suddenly had their eyes froze, and then their bodies fell straight down.
This Soul-Splitting Yuanbao is made by Granny Yuanbao by extracting the souls of monks and refining them with the help of her own magic power. Once it explodes, it will form a soul power storm, sweeping through it. Even cultivators will be seriously injured if their souls are not solid. .
How could these mortals resist? After dozens of gold ingots exploded, the entire Huai County suddenly fell into silence, and after the silence, the sounds of mortal cries began to erupt.
Granny Yuanbao was indeed a ruthless person. She vented her anger on the people of Huai County without finding Xiao Lin's family. This casual attack led to the death of thousands of people in Huai County.
If Xiao Lin saw this scene, he would probably lament that the lives of mortals are not as good as those of dogs.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's family has moved into the mansion in Yunlong City and is living an ordinary life in a low-key manner. Xiao Shi has experienced decades of career in the world and is tired of that kind of life.
He also began to live his own life at home, and the entire Xiao family never mentioned the past. As for several children of the Xiao family, under Xiao Shi's arrangement, they also entered private schools in the city to study Confucian classics. , to prepare for future imperial examinations.
As for Xiao Lin, the steward, he was bored all day long. Apart from ordering his servants to buy vegetables, cook and clean the courtyard every day, he just stayed with his old father Xiao Shan, closing his eyes and meditating with him.
Of course, Xiao Lin was not really just closing his eyes to meditate. He had been studying the pill formation experience given to him by Master Su Qingyun for some time, but he was still in a state of ignorance about pill formation.
Not only the experience of forming pills, but also the secret technique of Yi Lingbian given by ancestor Tianyi, all require a lot of time to understand and digest.
Anyway, it was still early for Dutian Xiaohan Realm to open, and Dancao Mountain could not go back. It was rare to have such leisure time, so Xiao Lin practiced behind closed doors at night, and spent the day with his old father, and learned about the experience of forming pills and Yi Lingbian. occult.
Time passed slowly like this, and seven or eight years passed in the blink of an eye.
