Chapter 2199 Chixiaofang City
In the majestic hall, an old man with white hair and white beard, wearing a robe, with a strange face, not angry and self-respecting, is sitting on the main throne holding a fly whisk, and there is no fluctuation in his energy around his body. But there was a faint coercion that filled the entire place, as if the originally spacious hall had been turned into a specific territory of silence.
Everything inside came to a standstill, and even the air flow slowed down. If there are people with advanced cultivation here, they will definitely see that these strange phenomena are the rumored magical powers in the field.
And this majestic-faced old man is clearly the current leader of the Shinto Sect, the "Shen Xuzi" who has reached the late stage of integration.
As a long-established strong man, this Shen Xuzi can be said to be dominating, and he is in charge of the fate of countless monks in the entire wilderness. He can be called one of the true powers in the spiritual world.
In the absence of Mahayana, in a sense, the old man is already at the pinnacle of power. And for a strong man of this level, time has long lost its due meaning, and it seems that he will live forever. Within reach.
But no matter who he is, he can't escape the constraints of heaven, and he can't completely cut off his emotions and desires. Just like Shen Xuzi at this moment, there is always a hint of worry in his eyebrows.
Probably because since the Phantom Forest, when the Shinto Sect realized that the stowaway person was most likely the ant from the lower realm, it was already too late.
Today, more than a hundred years have passed, and even though the Shinto Sect has sent out a large number of spies to search for traces of that junior in the spiritual world, there is still no harvest.
This result also made the senior leaders of the Shinto Sect who originally thought they had the upper hand and could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, began to become nervous involuntarily.
Because everyone is not sure whether the junior who is deeply involved with the exotic treasure relies on his own ability to escape, or whether there is a mysterious and powerful person secretly assisting him, or he has even fallen into the hands of the extraterrestrial demon or the witch.
If it's the former, that's fine.
If it is the latter, then the situation is somewhat out of control. It can really only be described as drawing water from a bamboo basket and achieving nothing.
Because of this, the upper echelons of the Shinto Sect had trouble sleeping and eating during this period, and all the secret agents in the sect were out in force, almost turning the surroundings of the Great Wilderness Territory upside down. Even the Shangguan family was implicated because of this, and was forced to Can send family monks to fully cooperate with the search.
But as time slowly passed, Shen Xuzi's patience gradually ran out. Just because this matter involved the hope of breaking through the situation, and he was not willing to have an old guy pressing down on him. Whether he could break through the shackles almost all depended on this battle. .
Just at this time, there was the sound of imperceptible footsteps outside the hall, and then a short old man with a goat's beard was seen walking slowly towards him. He was clearly another strong man in the fusion stage of the Shinto Sect, with a divine arithmetic element. Known as the "Master of Wonderful Dharma"!
After arriving at the scene, even though he had the same high position and was still the elder in charge of the secret hall of the Shinto Sect, he still did not dare to go overboard in the face of the indifferent Shen Xuzi, and he quickly bowed his hands politely:
"I've met the headmaster brother~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xuzi, who was standing above him, suddenly opened his eyes. There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, but it soon disappeared without a trace. He turned around and said with a normal expression:
"Hmm~! Junior Brother Miaofa, there is no need to be polite. The journey has been long and tiring. I wonder if the things ordered by the ancestor have been completed?"
After hearing this, the master of the wonderful method did not dare to be careless, and immediately reported with a solemn face:
"Brother Qi, according to my detection, the demon girl has been in seclusion decades ago, and even the remaining door of Biyou Cave has been completely closed, so I boldly speculate that the junior should not have been discovered yet, saying She might be hiding in a corner at this moment, otherwise, with that witch’s character, she has absolutely no intention of retreating into seclusion right now, and I’m afraid she would have turned the spiritual world upside down!”
"Hmm~! So good...!"
After hearing this narrative, Shen Xuzi seemed to be on the surface as usual, but in fact he was secretly relieved.
Although he is a very powerful old man, he is a big shot at the pinnacle of the spiritual world, but that does not mean that there is no fear. Besides many hidden powers, the one who can make him so fearful among his peers is probably " "Fairy Yulan" is the perfect one.
Although he is also a strong person in the late stage of integration, only when he has truly faced it can he realize how terrifying the witch is. She can support the Cave Heaven Gate with her own strength. Who in the world can match her?
At this moment, Master Miao Dharma couldn't help but speak, and said with some hesitation:
"I dare to ask Senior Brother, is that the demon girl is going to break through the Mahayana realm during this retreat? If this is the case, then the situation will be a bit bad...!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Shen Xuzi sneered and said confidently:
"Haha~! If the mysterious entrance is so easy to break through, how can I be trapped in the later period for thousands of years? It should be noted that the most indispensable thing in the spiritual world today is genius monsters. Could it be that the powerful fusions of the major immortal sects are just decorations?"
"Besides, how could the four great emperors and the Langya lineage allow Biyou to rise? And the demon who retreated outside the territory is not a peaceful master. In short, the demon girl wants to reach the Mahayana and be her Go have a great spring and autumn dream..."
With a few words of guidance and a thorough analysis of the current situation, Shen Xuzi did not hide his pride.
After all, the masters of the top immortal sects are almost all extremely talented people. They have led the times in the past, so how can they be willing to fall behind their peers?
"So that's it, the headmaster is indeed a sage! I think that the demon girl is just doing useless work, and because of this, she misses the opportunity to fight for the rare treasure...!"
And after hearing such remarks, Master Miaofa felt relieved, even if he was flattering for a while.
But opposite Shen Xuzi quickly changed the subject:
"Junior brother, I'm too proud. I wonder what the devil's movements are on that day? Have you found any traces of that junior?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man Miaofa had a strange face, and explained with some laughter:
"Ahem~! Don't worry, Brother Headmaster. According to my investigation, not only did those demon cubs gain nothing, but they were also jointly suppressed by the major immortal sects because of the incident at Jade Cauldron Mountain last time. Now the demons hiding in the spiritual world are trying to escape. It’s too late, how can we still find the traces of that junior?”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Xuzi suddenly felt calm, and he did not forget to snort and sarcastically:
"Hmph~! It's just a fool, it really can't make a difference. It's been ten thousand years since he could break into the inner realm. This is not without reason. It seems that the demon lord is getting worse with each generation. This will make things easier for us. !”
The Master of Wonderful Dharma naturally echoed:
"What the headmaster said is absolutely true. As long as we get that rare treasure, our Shinto sect will definitely prosper in the world. Even if we don't know where that junior is now, there is no way to continue spending so much... ...!”
However, after hearing this, Shen Xuzi's face was calm, and then he said with deep meaning:
"Haha~! What's so difficult about this? It's just an ant. As long as Junior Brother Miaofa is willing to do some calculations, it's not easy to capture it...?"
As soon as these words came out, the old man Miaofa's heart suddenly thumped, and he quickly declined anxiously:
"Ahem~! Could it be that Brother Headmaster has forgotten that that boy's fate is obscured by the secret of heaven...!"
But he stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
Sensing the intriguing look in Shen Xuzi's eyes opposite him, the old man Miaofa was already on the verge of tears, and he did not dare to say the next words.
Sure enough, before others could refuse, Shen Xuzi on the opposite side had already started a high-sounding speech, which also contained threats:
"Junior brother Miaofa, don't panic. It's just a loss of longevity. It's related to the future development of the sect. I hope that junior brother can take the overall situation into consideration. At worst, I will make the decision for you. Afterwards, junior brother can go to the treasure house to pick some elixirs for nourishment... ....."
After hearing this, Master Miao Dharma could only sigh helplessly and reluctantly accepted this hard task.
Things became much simpler after that.
Relying on the remaining aura he brought back when he broke through the realm, the old man quickly began to step on the seven stars, chant the incantations, and carefully deduce the special treasures in hand.
Perhaps due to the growth of the target's cultivation, the duration this time was longer than the last time.
After a full stick of incense, Master Miaofa barely managed to detect a hint of the secret. At the same time, his face quickly turned pale, and he suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Even his whole body momentum became sluggish, as if he was suffering from pain. He looked severely injured and his vitality was severely damaged.
Moreover, the lifespan consumed this time was actually more than a thousand years, which is a huge loss for any monk.
Seeing this situation, Shen Xuzi was also frightened.
Although he also knew something about the art of divination and knew that the higher the cultivation level, the greater the difficulty and loss of divination, but he never expected that the junior's cultivation level would increase so fast. If he followed this If this situation continues to develop, it will be even more difficult to deduce its traces in the future.
After realizing this, Shen Xuzi still dared to delay. He quickly danced the whisk to draw out the true energy, supported the weak-looking Master Miaofa, and then asked in an anxious tone:
"May I ask, junior brother, what is the result of the deduction?"
After hearing this, the old man Miaofa also did not dare to hesitate. He almost weakly raised his hand and pointed to the horizon, and said with a rather trembling voice:
"Ahem~! Burning Sky Territory... a place of great danger...!"
