Chapter 97 Seizing the Body
The moonlight outside was thin, as if even the stars had hidden their brilliance.
Ni Hua and his junior brother looked at each other quietly. At that moment, the crowd around them seemed to have turned into a blurred background, and their noise and movement had become insignificant details.
"Senior sister." Xi Yan walked towards Nihua slowly. What he didn't expect was that the demon Chen Yuan really wanted to take his senior sister back to the demon world. He was almost late.
Immediately, he sneered again, which was a good idea.
When Ni Hua saw him again, there was uneasiness hidden in her eyes. Her stance towards the heinous Chen Yuan is clear. As the top love brain who had just rescued Chen Yuan from prison, she could kill Chen Yuan without any scruples and lay the root of trouble for him when his vigilance was low.
But she always has a wavering attitude towards Xi Yan.
The two returned to the inn.
She watched Xi Yan close the door. Xi Yan turned to look at her quietly. His smile seemed to be hiding an unknown secret. He said, "Sister, I can take you to the Demon Cult."
Ni Hua paused for a moment. , she is not surprised, he can always guess her thoughts, after all, he has always understood her very well. As for Xi Yan always understanding things that he shouldn't understand, although she had thousands of questions in her heart and hoped that he could uncover all the mysteries, he did not answer her.
In this silence, she finally lost first.
Ni Hua tested whether he remembered the fragments from the past, so Xi Yan carefully held her hand and took her to a place with the sword handle she had taught her.
The two of them were speeding all the way, and as night fell, Nihua followed the guidance of his junior brother, and they passed through one gloomy forest path after another, and came to a city.
That is, Fancheng. Xi Yan took Ni Hua to the exterminated family. The once prosperous family was now a desolate land. There is no breath of life here, only silence and desolation. There is an indescribable sense of depression in the air.
Ni Hua followed his junior brother and saw him take out an ancient charm from his arms and wave it lightly. The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, revealing a path to the unknown.
A bad image flashed through Nihua's eyes, as if she saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in her previous life. At that time, she was taken away from the sect and was taken to the torture chamber. She shook her head, shook off these images, and followed him into them.
In an instant, Nihua was enveloped by a powerful force, and the surrounding scene changed rapidly. When everything calmed down, suddenly, the surrounding darkness seemed to come alive, and countless green eyes flickered in the darkness. , it was like the beginning of the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts.
"Junior brother, do you know the declaration of surrender in the demon world." Nihua looked at the strange chaos in front of her and asked softly, her tone full of curiosity and vigilance.
Being able to come to this lifeless place without being disturbed, Xi Yan must have some kind of connection with this place.
Junior brother Xi Yan stopped and turned to face Ni Hua, with a strange light shining in his eyes. "Senior sister, anyone can apply for a petition. Where the soul-calling flags of the demon world appear in the world, the living can follow the death energy left by the soul-calling banners. The creatures of the demon world believe in the supremacy of power, are driven by desire, and pursue immortality and strength at all costs. , as long as you can cross the endless abyss, you will be recognized.”
Those hundreds of ghosts walking at night are just the souls of the dead that the Demon Cult forcibly awakened using soul-calling flags, turning them into puppets to create chaos and absorb the resentment and fear of the immortal world to nourish their magic power.
Xi Yan’s words were low and clear, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ni Hua’s heart.
Opening their eyes again, they were teleported across the endless abyss. With the help of the death aura that filled the sky, they quietly walked through this abyss that was shocking. Ni Hua held Xi Yan's hand. After a moment of dizziness, they were already in another world - the door to the devil world had been opened.
Here, the sky is a strange red color, the earth is cracked and filled with evil energy, and all kinds of demons and ghosts are passing through it, either ferocious or terrifying, or charming all living beings. This is a world completely opposite to the world of immortality. The rules It seems that restraint has been lost here, and power and trickery have become the laws of survival.
“Remember, senior sister, we are in enemy territory and we must be extremely careful in every move we make.” Xi Yan reminded Nihua in a low voice. There was a solemn look in his eyes. Obviously, even he Don’t take it lightly here either.
After all, his current cultivation level is not enough to fight against those powerful powers hiding in the dark.
…………
In a hidden cave on the edge of the demon world, the candlelight swayed, and the dim light stretched out the figure of the man sitting quietly inside.
The surroundings are filled with a faint medicinal fragrance and an imperceptible cold air. The two are intertwined, as if indicating that there are unknown secrets hidden here.
Director Yun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead shimmered in the faint light, revealing that a silent struggle was going on in his body - Meng Fusheng The battle between the influence of the medicine and his own will.
Director Chang Yun felt like he was being manipulated, but he still stood firm in place.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed of the invisible figure looking at him condescendingly after the Lingyun Sect wiped out the family, with a cold and pitiful tone, "You haven't even tried it. How do you know that a dream can't be controlled? "
This scene has almost become his inner demon. Director Yun knew that this trip was dangerous, but he had to step into this chess game just to find it. A chance to reverse fortunes. He knew in his heart that if he could not get rid of the shackles of this drug, not only would he be unable to complete the task, but he might also lose himself forever and become a manipulated puppet.
Jian Lingjiao stood upright at the door. She casually glanced at the communication jade, and there was overwhelming news. She glanced at it indifferently. After hearing the news that her master had been arrested, she still watched indifferently. In the cave, separated by a wall, she stared closely at Director Yun.
In this dark stone room, Director Yun slowly opened his eyes, his eyes firm and decisive.
The air around him seemed to be solidified by his determination. At that moment, he seemed to be isolated from the world, with only one thought in his mind. "It's useless to hide."
Since the person behind the scenes wanted to manipulate him, he wanted to go and find out who had set up this trap.
Director Yun was unwilling to give in. In the end, he died in a corner where no one cared about him. Even the real culprit behind the scenes was not clear.
No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, in order to uncover the truth hidden behind it, and in order to prevent this conspiracy that may subvert the order of the world of immortality, he must move forward, even if he sacrifices everything.
So Director Yun stood up, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the stone room.
When Jian Lingjiao saw Director Yun coming out of the door, she directly stopped him with her sword.
"Junior sister, my consciousness is awake and I know what I want to do." Director Yun said calmly to Jian Lingjiao. "My mission is to stop you." Jian Lingjiao refused to give in. She looked at him expressionlessly.
Looking at the arrogant expression on Jian Lingjiao's face, Director Yun's tense thoughts relaxed for a moment. After a while, he told the truth very calmly. "You can't beat me."
Jian Lingjiao recalled the tragic ending when eight people beat her up in Hongling Town. She glanced at Director Yun again and still refused to take a step back.
Jian Lingjiao looked at him with erratic eyes. Who knew if he could control himself after letting this man out? Even her master said that there was nothing he could do, and that Chief Yun could only wait to die.
In the end, Director Yun took advantage of his sobriety to trap Jian Lingjiao. Looking back, he looked at the cave filled with demonic aura. He silently took off his hands gently. The storage ring was placed on her hand.
In this way, at least after he dies, these magic weapons can find his next owner without having to die in the soil with him.
Director Yun stepped into the fog shrouded by fate without looking back. Following the control of the master behind "Dream Floating Life", he came step by step to a strange and familiar place.
He knows that this trip is not only a test of body and will, but also a deep test of human nature and faith. He does not believe in himself, but he can only believe in himself.
According to the guidance, Director Yun returned to the dark and airtight basement again.
And it seems that the people behind the scenes have great trust in Yimeng Fusheng. The moment Director Yun returned to the underground to hint, it went unexpectedly smoothly. It seemed that the people behind the scenes sensed him.
When Director Yun’s knees touched the cold ground like a prisoner, there was a look of indifference on his face.
The weak light penetrates from the cracks in the wall, adding a mysterious color to this dark space. Everything around is immersed in a dignified and depressing atmosphere.
The "control" of Director Yun was a scene carefully planned by him. Before this good show started, in this cold dark room, he was controlled to kill eleven people in a row.
Maybe the person he killed was already dead, maybe it was useless, he didn't dare to think deeply about it. In this silent contest, he chose the most dangerous path - retreating in order to advance, observing in secret, looking for opportunities to counterattack.
As he raised his head, Director Yun's sight penetrated the darkness and captured several familiar faces that were looming in the dim light.
Some of these faces were powerful men who once controlled the world, some were partners who once fought side by side, and some were opponents who had never really let down their guard...
They appear now. Watching him here like watching a play undoubtedly made the fog of this conspiracy thicker, and also made the doubts in Director Yun's heart grow like weeds.
Separated by a wall, those low and rapid discussions were like ancient spells, revealing the coming storm.
Director Yun has the extraordinary ability of photographic memory, which allows him to peel off every detail and construct the outline of the entire incident in a short period of time.
He was guessing who the people behind the dark room were who had never revealed their true faces. He listened to the voices coming from them. Even though they were deliberately concealed, they still could not escape his keen hearing and analysis. That was the voice of Ren Yiqiu, the head of the first sect, a secret code name spoken by Shi Ling that only belonged to them. Its appearance confirmed the senior brother's initial suspicion that all this was by no means accidental, but a careful plan. designed trap.
Director Yun thought over and over again in his mind. He used his deep memory of the environment and grasp of human nature to gradually confirm each person's position, subtle changes in tone, and the unspoken implications.
This is not only a battle of intelligence, but also a test of his will and belief. Director Yun knew that only by taking the next step and completing the task continuously could he be qualified to see the person behind the scenes.
However, at a certain moment, he suddenly confirmed that it was Ren Yiqiu, the leader of the first sect. He also understood that only by thoroughly clarifying the context could he find the truth and give these people the most fatal blow.
In the next mission, he secretly contacted the available manpower left by Shi Ling when he left.
He and Shi Ling have always been in a relationship of mutual use. Director Yun believed in Shi Ling, but he didn't know whether these people could be trusted. However, he could only believe it. Because he alone is not enough to create the illusion that he has been controlled and secretly save the lives of those people.
In fact, he was indeed controlled part of the time, but his consciousness was clearly watching everything that happened.
In this endless darkness, Director Yun began to weave an invisible web, a web that could not only protect himself, but also reveal the truth.
He used silence as his weapon, waiting for the best time to reverse everything.
Finally, on a full moon night, he was bled and woke up in a huge formation. He saw the real culprit behind the scenes, and sure enough, it was Ren Yiqiu.
Director Yun looked at Ren Yiqiu, the first leader with a stooped back on his back. He could hardly recall the high-spirited look of Ren Yiqiu.
Ren Yiqiu was once a legendary figure. Back then, Ren Yiqiu, a mortal child, shocked the Nine Provinces with his "sword of frost". His unpredictable cultivation made Ren Yiqiu one of the few powerful men in the Nine Provinces' combat power list. Later, he sat on the chair of the head of the first sect and married the eldest lady of the Xi family of the four sects.
Many years ago, there were rumors in the world of immortality that Ren Yiqiu suffered an unprecedented setback at the critical moment of promotion to Mahayana. The world only thought it was a failure to advance, but little did they know that there was a more complicated truth hidden behind it.
Director Yun Hun was in the place closest to the truth, and learned through secret channels that after Ren Yiqiu's cultivation was damaged, in order to recover quickly, he did not hesitate to embark on a taboo road—— He used various strange medicines to cover up the fact that his cultivation was declining, and in desperation accepted the "Thousand Threads of Residual Poison" plan, an extreme method of sacrificing human beings to improve his cultivation and repair his meridians.
However, all this is just a carefully designed trap.
The underground business run by Ren Yiqiu is in full swing, but the "medicines" that seemed to be able to save him pushed him step by step into a deeper abyss.
So, Ren Yiqiu finally realized that the "salvation" he relied on was just the biggest mistake in his life. After realizing this, Ren Yiqiu began to secretly plan another way out - the art of body seizing, an ancient and taboo method that aims to extend his own life and cultivation by occupying the bodies of others.
Secretary Chang Yun was hiding among them. After learning this series of shocking truths, he felt mixed feelings in his heart and felt frightened about the upcoming fate.
He knew that he was chosen not only because of his ability, but also because of something special about himself that could help Ren Yiqiu realize this unprecedented plan to seize the body.
However, what Director Yun doesn't know is that if Ren Yiqiu wants to take away his body, how to explain the "dream floating life" in him?
