What needs to be known is that this Xuanyin demonic energy comes from the well-known Xuanyin Dafa, and those who practice this magic are limited to two senior masters, Jiyin Patriarch and Wu Chou.
However, most of the disciples of Patriarch Jiyin failed to truly understand the mystery of this demonic skill, let alone cultivate such pure demonic energy and travel thousands of miles to the land of southern China.
Yan Yun's expression was gloomy and he fell into silence.
"Something's wrong. There is another person who knows all the formulas of Xuanyin Dafa, and has practiced Xuanyin's demonic energy. It seems to have the ability to refine the demonic energy to such a pure level."
Yan Yun's heart suddenly lit up, and he thought of a little-known past event, and his whole person instantly became complicated and difficult to understand.
"Could it be the Zhimu Spirit Infant? Has it returned to Tiannan?"
Yan Yun looked up at the sky and whispered to himself.
He has always been deeply concerned about this second Yuanying who ran away from home.
When he returned to Tiannan, he should have immediately set out to find this Nascent Soul, but Nangong Wan had not yet been freed from the ice wall.
He was really worried, so he chose to stay here for a short rest and wait for Nangong Wan's safe return.
In addition, a long time has passed. If this second Nascent Soul has really derived spiritual consciousness, it will definitely be reflected in these years.
For the time being, delaying so many years is really not a big deal.
As a result, Yan Yun temporarily put aside this troublesome matter and decided to go to Mulan Grassland to find out in person when the time was ripe.
However, now, judging from various signs, the second Nascent Soul transformed by the Zhimu Spirit Baby has actually returned to Tiannan and is hiding in the Falling Demon Valley.
Assuming that this is the case, then the disappearances of the three women, Mu Peiling, Mo Qingdai and Qian Xinyue, are closely related to it, and they should not have suffered misfortune yet.
After all, the memories and emotions of this Nascent Soul were all copied from him. Even though his character may have changed after years of vicissitudes of life, it would not be easy for him to kill these three women.
Yan Yun's heart was heavy and he carefully considered every possible situation.
However, as time flies, this second Nascent Soul must have already had its own physical body.
But since Yan Yun stepped into the inner valley, he has not noticed the existence of the Tiansha demon corpse that was originally implanted with a ray of his spiritual thoughts.
From this, it can be inferred that either the second Nascent Soul successfully subdued the demonic corpse, or directly took its body.
Yan Yun's mind was quick, and after a little speculation, he quickly understood the truth of the incident.
He stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the remaining centipedes came rushing back from all directions, seemingly not noticing anything unusual.
Yan Yun did not show the slightest surprise at this scene.
The reason why he took back the gold-eating insects and released the twelve six-winged frost centipedes was precisely because Liu Yu also carried six-winged frost centipede larvae.
Although her spiritual insect level is far lower than her own, it is still possible to find the whereabouts of the three missing women with the unique induction between the two.
However, since the person who takes action is likely to be the Second Nascent Soul, he will definitely be wary of this.
Yan Yun had a serious look on his face as he put all the centipedes into his bag and thought deeply about it alone.
"It seems that only that method can be used to track their whereabouts. This secret technique was acquired by me later, and naturally he could not predict and prevent it. However, a lot of blood essence and blood were lost."
Yan Yun sighed softly and murmured, looking quite helpless.
However, he did not hesitate to pat the storage bag on his waist, and a jade plate as white as snow and a small fiery red flag appeared in his palm at the same time.
Then he threw it into the air, and the two treasures turned into two groups of white and red light. After spinning for a moment, they stopped steadily in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Yun sprayed out a stream of cyan mist from his mouth to cover the formation disk, then stretched out a finger and lightly scratched the other wrist,
As the green light flashed, a green hair quietly passed by, and a small wound immediately appeared on the wrist, and a few drops of blood slowly flowed out.
Yan Yun exhaled slowly, and saw those few drops of blood essence containing powerful vitality immediately sinking into the plate as white as jade, completely disappearing from sight.
Then, Yan Yun turned his attention to the dazzling red flag. With a slight touch, the flag flew up to the top of the array under Yan Yun's control.
After a slight shock, the small flag suddenly turned into a thick bloody smoke, completely covering the entire jade plate.
However, as Yan Yun recited the incantation, the jade plate also emitted bloody light.
There are also streams of blood mist transformed from blood essence and blood, which are constantly flowing out, and then the two blend with each other, gradually becoming difficult to distinguish.
Suddenly, a deep roar broke out from Yan Yun's mouth, and a touch of blue appeared on his face. Then he clicked on the jade plate with an extremely solemn attitude.
In an instant, the white jade plate bloomed with blood-colored light, like a blood-colored bright moon. In just a few flickers, all the blood mist was absorbed by it.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yan Yun roared again and clicked on the jade plate with one hand in an extremely serious manner.
Immediately afterwards, a emerald-green beam of light erupted from between his fingers as if it were a real object, and quickly sank into the center of the jade plate like lightning, becoming invisible.
With the appearance of this beam of light, the originally humming Blood Moon suddenly began to vibrate violently, shaking on its own as if it had spirituality, as if it wanted to escape from this place immediately.
Yan Yun's eyes dimmed a bit, and there was a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Today is the first time I have used the secret technique of 'Searching for Spirits in the Blood Moon' recorded in the "Dayan Bao Jing". I really don't know how effective it is. Now, I can only give it a try."
"It's a pity that if Mu Peiling hadn't been restrained by the forbidden gods and left a few drops of her blood essence, I'm afraid this secret technique wouldn't have been able to be used."
Yan Yun murmured a few words to himself, then swallowed a pill and immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot to take a rest.
After half an hour of adjusting his breath, when Yan Yun opened his eyes again, the look in his eyes had returned to its original state.
He didn't say anything more, and directly fired a spell at the blood moon formed by the jade plate. The blood moon instantly turned into a ball of dazzling blood-colored light and sped away into the distance.
Yan Yun's body swayed slightly and turned into a blue escaping light, following closely behind Xue Yue.
Soon after, the two of them disappeared from the vicinity of Qingshan without a trace.
The speed of the bloody light group remained stable, and Yan Yun followed closely behind with a calm expression.
After a half-day flight, Yan Yun was finally led by the blood group to a huge and extremely desolate basin. A blazing high temperature immediately hit his face.
Yan Yun's eyes moved slightly, and then he noticed that everything in the basin was composed of black and red.
Round black rocks are piled up on the edge of the basin, and in the center of the basin is a red lake of lava.
The high temperature emanating from the lake of fire caused the air above the basin to begin to twist and deform, presenting a hazy and beautiful scene.
And that ball of blood was hovering over the lava lake at the moment, and the buzzing sound it made was extremely harsh, as if it wanted to enter the lake, but was hesitant.
Yan Yun touched his chin and carefully observed the lava below. A cold smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Haha, he is really good at hiding. If I didn't rely on the guidance of secret techniques, I really wouldn't be able to find this place."
"Now that I've locked the target, this lava can't stop me from moving forward at all!"
After Yan Yun murmured a few words to himself, he raised his palm and waved to the bloody light ball.
In an instant, the bloody light group made a buzzing sound and rushed towards him quickly. After spinning in the air for several times, it landed steadily on his palm.
At the same time, Yan Yun raised his other hand gently, and purple flames instantly appeared on his arms, and then quickly spread to his whole body, completely covering his whole body in flames.
A huge purple fireball appeared in the air and fell straight down from mid-air.
The moment the fireball landed, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the fireball formed by Yan Yun seemed to ignore the hot red lava.
It sank directly into the lava lake and disappeared without a trace, causing the surrounding lava to splash in all directions. However, the lake quickly returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened before.
At this moment, Yan Yun has penetrated more than ten feet under the lava, and continues to sink slowly under the protection of Ziyan.
Although it is in the lava, the Purple Extreme Fire, as an extremely cold flame, easily isolates all high temperatures from the purple flame.
When Yan Yun dived to a depth of more than 200 feet, he finally reached the bottom of the lake and stepped on solid land full of black rocks.
Looking around, I couldn't see any other color except red.
Yan Yun frowned slightly and injected the spiritual power in his body into his eyes, and blue light flashed deep in his pupils.
He used his Ming Qing Spiritual Eyes and examined his surroundings again.
Then, Yan Yun held up the blood-colored jade plate in his hand. The jade plate swayed slightly and vibrated violently in a certain direction, as if trying to break free from his control.
Yan Yun immediately flew slowly in this direction. When he flew a considerable distance, the jade plate stopped trembling, but suddenly fell downwards.
Yan Yun quickly grabbed the jade plate again to prevent it from leaving Zi Yan's protective range. At the same time, he lowered his head and observed intently.
Yan Yun's expression changed slightly, and then he raised his hand, and a dazzling golden light shot out, heading straight to the bottom of the lake beneath him.
Accompanied by a deafening loud noise, the seemingly ordinary lake bottom actually opened a huge crack seven or eight feet long under this blow.
A faint blue light erupted from the crack, immediately repelling the surrounding lava.
It turns out that there is a layer of light barrier hidden under the bottom of the lake.
Yan Yun was overjoyed and landed towards the light curtain without hesitation.
This layer of blue light curtain was obviously not a powerful restriction. The Purple Extreme Fire collapsed at the first touch and easily tore a hole about one foot wide in the light curtain.
Yan Yun's figure flashed and passed directly through the light curtain.
The blue light curtain healed quickly, once again blocking the lava. However, Yan Yun didn't care about this and instead looked around.
He found himself in an underground tunnel. The ground and walls were uneven and extremely rough. Obviously, this tunnel was not dug by man, but more like a masterpiece of nature.
Without saying a word, Yan Yun threw the jade plate in his hand again.
The jade plate spun several times in the air and turned into a bloody full moon again, speeding towards the depths of the tunnel. Yan Yun's face was stern, his feet left the ground, and he followed slowly.
After a flight of five or six miles, the tunnel began to gradually extend upward.
After they climbed another hundred feet, a faint light appeared in front of them, and they finally reached the exit.
Blood Moon flew out of the tunnel without hesitation. A trace of vigilance flashed in Yan Yun's eyes, and he silently unfolded his sleeves, and a ball of three-color flames rolled down, which was the three-flame fan.
Yan Yun immediately took out his feather fan, and with an instant movement like the wind, he surprisingly appeared outside the exit, looking around invisibly.
It was dark all around, but in Yan Yun's bright and clear sight, it was like day.
This place turned out to be a huge grotto hidden in the natural underground. It was silent and there seemed to be no one around.
Yan Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and fixed his gaze on an exit at the end of the cave, which seemed to lead to another mysterious cave.
The blood-red light was speeding in that direction, but it suddenly stopped at the exit, and at the same time it made a sharp and harsh buzzing sound.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp sound came, and more than a dozen slender black cracks appeared on the surface of the blood moon. After flashing, the object turned into countless crystal lights and disappeared.
When Yan Yun saw this scene, instead of being surprised, he actually showed joy.
With just a few light steps, he quickly reached the edge of another cave.
The cave was indeed another larger cave, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The cave was filled with thick black mist, covering almost every corner of the cave. However, once the mist reaches the exit of the cave, it immediately stops moving forward, as if an invisible barrier blocks their way.
Yan Yun has bright and clear eyesight. The cave that is invisible to other monks is as transparent as air to him. Therefore, he immediately spotted the three women lying on the ground in the center of the cave.
Besides Mu Peiling, Lin Waner and Li Mengyao, who else could be there?
And below the three women, there is a strange magic circle that shines with faint spiritual light. The black mist is constantly emerging from this magic circle.
Yan Yun did not rush into the cave to save the three girls. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and used his spiritual consciousness to search the inside and outside of the cave thoroughly. After confirming that the second Nascent Soul was indeed not here, he waved his arms towards the exit without hesitation. A slash into the void. (End of chapter)
