Chapter 27 Clues
"You really didn't see it?" Zhang Yunfu frowned.
The mountain gate was peaceful, but the Tianshi Mansion was filled with the smell of corpses. It was hard not to be suspicious.
The Longhu Mountain disciple guarding the gate smiled bitterly and said, "Old Heavenly Master, you are joking. Our Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism in the world. The Heavenly Master's Mansion even enshrines the ancestors of all generations and the three or five male and female evil-slaying swords. How could there be corpse qi rising to the sky?"
Are you kidding? If the Tianshi Mansion is filled with corpse qi, is there still a pure land in this world?
“You…” Zhang Yunfu was so angry that his beard stood up straight: “You didn’t even see such a powerful corpse aura? Who is your master? This Heavenly Master wants to see how you teach your disciples in Longhu Mountain.”
The Longhu Mountain disciple who was guarding the gate scratched his head in embarrassment and said awkwardly: "In reply to Master Zhang, I just arrived at Longhu Mountain yesterday and have not yet become your disciple."
Zhang Yunfu: “…”
Could it be that I was just talking to a cow?
Zhang Yunfu ignored the disciple, walked into Longhu Mountain, and went straight to the Tianshi Mansion.
He wanted to see what kind of demon was coming directly to the Tianshi Mansion to cause trouble.
……
Tianshi Mansion.
Zhang Jingxuan followed him into the hall, and after Chi You sat down, he bowed and asked, "I wonder what has happened that the ancestor suddenly came to Longhu Mountain?"
After saying this, Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but recall in his mind.
Could it be that on that day at Baikuling, I did something to anger the ancestor, and the ancestor was busy with important matters at the time and had no time to deal with me, and now he is coming to settle the score?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Chi You didn't waste time and went straight to the point: "Don't be nervous. I came to Longhu Mountain today to ask you about someone. Do you know a cultivator who is more advanced than you and can perform a teleportation formation?"
Seeing that Chi You was not here to cause trouble, Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but feel relieved. However, Chi You's question made him fall into a brief silence.
His Taoism is far superior to that of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and he is also a cultivator who can use teleportation formations.
There might be someone who meets the first condition, but Zhang Jingxuan really couldn't think of anyone who met both conditions at the same time.
Teleportation array!
Zhang Jingxuan had only seen this kind of mysterious formation that required a large amount of spiritual power to support it in ancient books.
I have never seen anyone perform it in real life.
But since the ancestor has brought this up, then this matter is not groundless.
But he really doesn't know.
"Ancestor, the cultivator you mentioned who can cast the teleportation formation, I..." Zhang Jingxuan was afraid of causing Chi You's displeasure, so he didn't know how to continue and could only shake his head.
"Even you don't know?" Chi You frowned.
Even Longhu Mountain doesn't know the details of this mysterious old Taoist priest. It seems that the situation is a bit tricky.
Zhang Jingxuan nodded, smiled bitterly, and continued, "In the current Taoist sect, besides Longhu Mountain, there is only the old Heavenly Master of Sanqing Mountain. However, as far as I know, the old Heavenly Master of Sanqing Mountain is only at the peak of the ninth rank. Although he has studied a lot about formations, it is impossible for him to perform a mysterious formation like the Teleportation Array."
The spiritual energy of the world is exhausted. Unless one breaks through to the ninth level, it is impossible to condense the thin spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth.
Since the 95th Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, no one has broken through the ninth rank, and the same is true for monsters.
However, it was also because of this that no powerful demons were born and the world gained a brief peace.
After a pause, Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ancestor, why are you looking for this cultivator...?"
Chi You glanced sideways at the corpse ancestor Hanba who was standing beside him. Hanba immediately understood and told him what happened at Baikuling that day.
After listening to this, Zhang Jingxuan's face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
What monk?
With his spiritual body, he dared to hunt three corpse ancestors, and what was outrageous was that he captured two of them. There was no information about this person with such terrifying strength in Longhu Mountain, and he was hidden very deeply.
"That's right, ancestor."
Zhang Jingxuan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took a purple talisman with a few hairs on it from the table next to him and handed it to Chi You.
Then he said, "Ancestor, not only the three corpse ancestors were attacked that day, but my disciples from Longhu Mountain and Sanqing Mountain were also attacked by an unknown monster. Unfortunately, all of them were killed. Elder Yang fought to his death but only brought back a few hairs of the monster. I have deduced the approximate location of the monster, but it is in the southwest."
If this matter is related to the mysterious monk who attacked the three corpse ancestors, then it will not be something that Longhu Mountain and Sanqing Mountain can deal with together.
I'm afraid this matter can only be resolved by our ancestor Chi You.
"southwest?"
Chi You picked up those hairs with blood scabs, thinking that this might be a breakthrough.
Immediately, Chi You looked at Hanba and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
The range is a bit large, but the drought demon can travel a thousand miles a day, so it shouldn't take long to find clues.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
With the help of our ancestor Chi You, this matter becomes much simpler.
"Let me go. If you dare to stop me again, I will chop you down with my sword."
"Master Zhang, you can't go in."
"Old Heavenly Master, you can't enter."
"Humph, you can't go in? Your Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion is filled with corpse qi, but instead of going in to find out the reason, you are here to stop me. I think you have ulterior motives."
"Today, I must enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion. No one can stop me. I want to see whether this is the Heavenly Master's Mansion or the Demonic Mansion."
"..."
Just then, there was a sudden loud noise outside the Tianshi Mansion.
Soon, an old Taoist named Zhang Yunfu, dressed in luxurious Taoist robes, broke free from the obstruction of the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain and rushed into the Tianshi Mansion in a rage.
"It's over. It's over this time. Why didn't you stop Master Zhang?"
"Master Zhang wants to go see the King of Hell. Who can stop him?"
"Alas, it seems that Master Zhang is destined to have this calamity and will have to serve in the underworld."
"It's okay to offend the ancestor Chi You, but I'm afraid that after this old Tianshi enters, he will call him a demon and want his life. By then, I'm afraid that even if the ancestor Tianshi descends to the earth again, he won't be able to save him."
"It's strange to say, why did Master Zhang suddenly come to my Longhu Mountain? I hope he can escape this disaster."
The Taoist priests at the door shook their heads and sighed.
……
In the main hall.
Zhang Yunfu rushed into the hall and saw Zhang Jingxuan in a purple robe. He was about to ask why there was so much corpse energy in the Tianshi Mansion, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of four people next to him.
No, to be precise, it’s not a person.
It was the Three Corpses plus a demon of unknown origin.
The two strange-looking corpses made him feel extremely uneasy. He had only felt this feeling when facing a ninth-grade peak demon.
As for the guy sitting there with an even stranger appearance, Zhang Yunfu couldn't figure out his origin for a while, but when he looked at this guy, he would inexplicably feel palpitations, or a sense of oppression.
