Yan Yun's boldness in examining the behavior of other monks naturally attracted the attention of some people.
However, when they tried to probe Yan Yun with their spiritual thoughts, their originally fierce eyes suddenly tightened, and they all fell into panic. Some even turned around and left immediately, while others could only force a smile.
In order not to reveal his identity, Yan Yun deliberately suppressed his cultivation and appeared as a monk in the late stage of pill formation, which made other monks unable to ignore his threat.
After walking a few steps, he seemed to notice something. His eyes stopped on several attics, with a look of surprise on his face.
There are six two-story small palace-like buildings here, uniformly arranged on one side of the street, with a slender flag erected in front of each building.
There are various patterns embroidered on it, including blue monsters, golden swords, green spiritual grass, etc.
"Sixth consecutive palace?"
Yan Yun was secretly surprised.
As far as he knew, this powerful force in the Chaos Star Sea had joined the Counter Star Alliance and became a member of the Counter Star Alliance.
However, it is really surprising that they can openly open shops under the noses of other island forces.
It can be seen that even if the Anti-Star Alliance is powerful, it may still take time to fully control Biling Island.
Yan Yun had a lot of grievances with several Nascent Soul old monsters in the Counter Star Alliance, so naturally he would not take the initiative to cause trouble.
So, he shook his head slightly and prepared to turn around and go to the store in front to find out.
However, at this moment, several monks suddenly walked out of a certain attic of the Sixth Lian Palace, the first two of which were particularly eye-catching.
When Yan Yun saw one of them, his expression changed slightly.
This person is an old man in a yellow shirt who is about fifty years old, and the other person is a soap-robed Taoist priest wearing a crane shirt. He looks like he is only in his twenties, but in fact he is already a master in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Behind them were four monks in the alchemy stage and a middle-aged shopkeeper wearing the uniform of the Sixth Company Hall, accompanying them with a smile on his face.
Faced with such a lineup, Yan Yun naturally did not dare to neglect.
Especially the Taoist priest in the crane shirt. Even though his appearance had changed dramatically, Yan Yun still recognized him - Master Miaohe.
It is unbelievable that this Yuanying monk who once chased Yan Yun and almost killed him now looks so young.
Yan Yun was not surprised by this, because in the world of cultivation, secret methods for changing appearance and body shape abound.
Most monks who have been reborn will instinctively adjust their appearance to restore it to its original state as much as possible to avoid being seen through by others.
After all, although seizing a body is not taboo among high-level monks, it will eventually have a certain impact on reputation.
Apparently, Master Miaohe had just used some kind of secret technique to change his face, making him look similar to the past, but younger.
However, his physical age did not change with it, indicating that his secret magic had not yet fully taken effect. After all, it only takes a short time to change your appearance, but it takes a longer period to change your body's age.
Yan Yun's expression changed slightly, but it was fleeting. As if nothing had happened, he calmly passed by the gate of the Sixth Company Hall.
Master Miaohe and another old man wearing a yellow robe just glanced at Yan Yun. Although they were surprised by the strength of the skinny old man disguised as Yan Yun, they did not pay too much attention to it and led the other four knots. Monk Danqi marched straight to the central area of the city.
Yan Yun also continued moving forward without hesitation, seemingly just passing by the shops in the Sixth Company Hall.
However, at this moment, Master Miaohe and the old man in yellow robe moved their lips slightly, but did not make any sound. They were obviously using the secret technique of sound transmission to communicate.
Yan Yun's figure with his back to the two of them paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal and gradually moved away from Master Miaohe and others.
After taking the last turn, Yan Yun walked into a rather luxurious-looking attic.
After a full hour passed, he walked out of the attic under the respectful greeting of a monk who looked like a shopkeeper. However, he did not leave immediately, but instead walked into another nearby shop...
When Yan Yun walked out of the fifth shop with satisfaction, he had accumulated more than a hundred high-level spiritual stones in exchange for magic weapons, ancient treasures and some precious materials.
But when he walked out of the shop again this time, he unexpectedly discovered that there were several unidentified monks in the alchemy stage around him. Everyone seemed quite calm on the surface, but they couldn't hide the strange light shining in their eyes.
Yan Yun sneered, immediately changed his original plan, strode through the streets, and finally walked out of Shicheng.
Most of these monks used concealment spells and followed Yan Yun out of the city gate, but they soon fell into confusion.
Because Yan Yun, who was still within the coverage of their spiritual consciousness, mysteriously disappeared without a trace under the gaze of everyone, and there was no one around him, with no trace of the escaping light.
These monks suddenly fell into chaos.
Some of them were spies secretly sent by the shops, and some of them took the initiative to follow Yan Yun after they noticed that Yan Yun frequently visited many shops, and every time the shopkeepers greeted him respectfully, they had doubts in their hearts.
Although the old man Yan Yun pretends to be is a monk in the late stage of elixir formation, these people are not afraid of taking risks in the face of the temptation of huge interests.
Even earlier, some people had secretly discussed matters of mutual cooperation.
However, the mysterious disappearance of Yan Yun at this moment made these monks surprised. They had to search nearby, but still found nothing. In the end, they had no choice but to return to Shicheng irritably.
And not long after these people left, a green light flashed in the sky above where Yan Yun disappeared, and a figure appeared vaguely.
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual light on this person gradually converged, and the figure solidified, and it turned out to be Yan Yun who had restored his original appearance.
Yan Yun looked up at Shi Cheng, with a mocking smile on his lips.
If he hadn't changed his mind temporarily and decided to stay put until then, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the Nascent Soul Stage monks in the city, he would never have easily let go of the monks who were following him.
It was extremely lucky that they failed to see through Yan Yun's concealment spell. Otherwise, if Yan Yun was ruthless, he would never care about wiping out all these monks at the pill formation stage in an instant.
After Yan Yun looked around for a while in the sky, he chose a direction and turned into a blue light and sped away. After a while, green light fell steadily on the mountain valley between the two hills surrounding the small town.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant here, it is peaceful and pleasant, and the mountains are filled with thick smoke that lingers for a long time.
After just glancing at the surroundings, Yan Yun smiled and nodded.
Then, he raised his arm, and a bunch of colorful formation flags suddenly appeared. Then more than ten dazzling rays of light shot out, and they all quickly blended into the surrounding environment and disappeared.
What followed was a layer of thick white mist that suddenly burst out from the ground. This layer of mist quickly merged with the water mist in the mountain col. From the appearance, it was no longer possible to distinguish their respective existences.
Yan Yun's figure was obscured by the mist.
After arranging the concealment array, Yan Yun patted a certain spirit beast bag on his waist in the mist.
With a buzzing sound, thousands of gold-eating insects poured out from the mouth of the bag, forming a golden cloud suspended in front of him.
Yan Yun sat cross-legged, chanting incantations in a low voice, and a green aura began to flash on his body.
Then, after a loud noise, the insect cloud instantly turned into countless golden flowers and rushed away in all directions.
Almost at the same time, Yan Yun suddenly opened his eyes. The look in his eyes was bright and unusually bright at first, and then strangely dimmed.
This is the Thousand Secret Technique of Divine Consciousness Transformation that Yan Yun used when he fell into the Demon Valley. It is a magical power that he realized on his own with the help of Dayan Jue.
He can instantly divide most of his spiritual consciousness into thousands of tiny spiritual thoughts, and then temporarily reside in each gold-eating insect, allowing him to have thousands of ears and eyes in an instant.
Although this technique of transforming spiritual consciousness into a thousand secrets is quite similar on the surface to the technique of attaching spiritual thoughts to spiritual objects that Yan Yun had previously performed, there are actually significant differences.
The former is to divide most of the spiritual consciousness into countless small spiritual thoughts at once, and use the hearing and vision of the gold-eating insect to conduct searches and explorations that are difficult to complete with spiritual thoughts
. However, it must be performed under the personal control of the Yuan Shen, and it cannot exceed a certain range, otherwise the divine will will be automatically recycled.
The latter is to host independent distractions on spiritual objects, allowing the distractions to flexibly command the spiritual objects to act according to preset instructions.
Without the intervention of the soul, you can even directly command the spirit insects and beasts that have been refined to attack. To a certain extent, it is similar to the incarnation technique.
Moreover, as long as the boarding time has not expired, it can work regardless of the distance from the caster.
In comparison, the Thousand Mysteries of Divine Consciousness Transformation is rarely used unless the divine intention remains unchanged. It is quite a bit tasteless and a pity to abandon.
The art of attaching spiritual thoughts to spiritual objects is a great magical power that few even the late Yuanying monks can master. There is a huge difference between the two.
At this moment, once all the gold-eating insects flew out of the white mist, some immediately burrowed into the ground, and some rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, these spiritual insects disappeared without a trace.
Yan Yun, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the array, closed his eyes again, his expression cold and dull.
As time went by, the sun in the sky gradually descended from the sea level, night fell, and the entire Biling Island fell into darkness.
However, the lights inside the stone city were brilliant, and the moonstones full of spiritual power shone brightly, illuminating every corner of the stone city like daylight.
In this way, the darkness around the stone city and the roaring sound of the sea wind are more highlighted, as if countless monsters hidden in the darkness are about to emerge.
Although practitioners can use magic to let the sun rise and the moon set, and can clearly observe the surrounding environment at night with only a small expenditure of mana, however, in the vast alien sea, this ability cannot be brought to its fullest extent.
There are many monsters in the alien sea. Whether you are speeding on the sea or spending the night on an island, you may be suddenly attacked by monsters who are good at hiding.
As we all know, ordinary practitioners cannot always maintain a high degree of vigilance, and the number of practitioners who die every year even exceeds the number of people who die in the official process of hunting monsters.
Therefore, unless there are urgent matters that need to be dealt with, or those high-level practitioners who think they are powerful, they will do so at night.
The practitioners on the island will be as alert as possible, and the protective measures at each practitioner gathering point will be fully activated. All practitioners who have not yet gone to sea will choose to return to a safe zone.
In the stone city surrounded by mountains, eight stone towers lit up at the same time, and a layer of faint blue light enveloped the entire stone city to prevent any monsters from taking the opportunity to sneak into the city and launch a surprise attack. However, late at night, there were still several mysterious figures wearing cloaks who quietly arrived at a certain city gate.
Among the practitioners responsible for guarding the city gate, there was a strong man in the Alchemy Stage and several colleagues in the Foundation Stage. They were horrified when they saw the leader of the group easily pulling open a corner of his cloak, revealing his true face. The ground opened a crack in the city's protective barrier, welcoming these people to safely walk out of the stone city.
Just as these people fled the city and turned into a few rays of light and disappeared into the endless darkness, a soft "eh" sound suddenly came from everyone's ears.
They stopped instantly and turned their heads to look behind.
Immediately afterwards, an exclamation came from the escaping light. The escaping light suddenly faltered in the air, and then a slender white line shot out from it and merged into the void behind him in an instant.
The other practitioners were stunned, stopped suddenly and turned their heads.
There was a loud "Zi" sound, and a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted in the darkness in the distance. The white line seemed to hit something. Along with a weird scream, a fist-sized golden light fell straight down. .
"What on earth is that?" Another practitioner blurted out in surprise.
However, the practitioner who took the lead in attacking just waved his hand lightly, and the white line immediately flew from a distance. After some rotation, it turned into a thin needle as white as jade and fell on him. hands.
At this moment, he slowly said:
"I'm not sure. It looks like some kind of spiritual insect. It may be wild, or it may be carefully raised by someone."
"However, this insect can withstand the attack of my 'White Mourning Needle'. It is indeed extraordinary. Please, you two go and find the body of that insect for me. I want to study it carefully. What kind of spiritual insect is it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and gave instructions to the two practitioners behind him.
After a moment, the two people behind him responded respectfully, then turned into two rays of light and headed straight for the black earth in the distance, searching for the killed golden spirit insects with all their strength.
However, the time for a cup of tea passed, and the two practitioners flew back dejectedly.
"Tell the sect master that the spirit insect doesn't seem to be dead. We didn't find its body over there!" One of them responded hesitantly. (End of chapter)
