Chapter 214 Leaving Alone

Ancient ruins, in the courtyard on the inner side of the bridge bank.

A hunched middle-aged man was half lying among the grass and trees, his face and skin all over his body oozing purple pus and blood.

"Ahem... Lu Chang'an, forgive others when you can!"

Tan Zhenren pretended to be calm, coughing up blood from his mouth, looking extremely weak.

"Since you have already obtained the opportunity in the ruins, why do you have to make trouble and fight with Tan to the death?"

Tan Zhenren closed his eyes tightly, and purple-red poisonous blood oozed out of the gap between his eyelids. It makes people suspect that his eyes have lost their light under the effect of the poison.

It is hard to imagine that the arrogant and domineering Zhenren before has fallen into such a field.

"What are you fighting for! You look like you are going to die, beat Lu's puppet first."

Lu Chang'an stood dozens of feet away from the courtyard, controlling three or four puppets at the same time, and steadily advanced into the courtyard.

These four puppets all started from the second-grade upper grade, and the highest one reached the second-grade top grade.

Among them, there was a heavy armor puppet and a flying puppet.

There were two bow and arrow puppets in the back row.

This lineup was enough to fight against the fake Dan Zhenren in good condition.

"You... you can control so many puppets at the same time?"

Zhenren Tan was horrified and felt unprecedented despair in his heart.

Only a puppet master of the quasi-third grade could control so many puppets of the second-grade upper grade or above at the same time, so that the division of labor was orderly and flexible.

Lu Changan's puppetry skills actually did not reach the quasi-third grade, and there was still some lack of fire, mainly because he did not have enough opportunities to practice.

However, his spiritual consciousness was strong, at least the fake Dan level, and he reached the quasi-third level in puppet control.

Under the attack of the four puppets, Zhenren Tan was in a panic, offering the best magic weapon and casting some talismans to barely parry.

"To this extent, he can't even control the magic weapon."

Lu Changan thought to himself.

The strength displayed by Master Tan fell below that of Master Fake Dan, and the activation of mana would further intensify the outbreak of poison in the body.

If it weren't for a few quasi-third-level talismans, including a talisman treasure, he would have been pushed by the puppet long ago.

Lu Changan did not dare to take it lightly, kept his distance, and used the puppet to fight in the front.

"Lu! Chang! An!"

At the last moment, Master Tan spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and his face turned a little rosy.

He opened his bloody purple-black eyes, emitting a powerful spiritual pressure of the fake Dan level, almost recovering to his prime.

"The secret technique of squeezing life?" Lu Changan's face changed slightly, and he took out the turtle puppet with a defense comparable to the quasi-third level and blocked it in front of him.

Boom! Bang!

Master Tan controlled the magic ruler again, and used up the remaining talismans and talismans on his body in one breath, instantly killing the three puppets in the lead.

Seeing this, Lu Changan decisively controlled the remaining flying puppet to self-destruct head-on, and the fierce fragments and flames covered the figure of Master Tan.

Wow!

Master Tan vomited blood again, the poison in his body exploded, and his momentum dropped a little. He rushed to Lu Changan with a savage look.

Even if they could not die together, he wanted to kill Lu Changan as much as possible and severely damage the opponent's foundation.

"The last hurdle of a dying force."

Lu Changan's face was calm, and he turned out a treasure talisman engraved with cold frost patterns in his palm and activated it with magic power.

Hiss!

Master Tan, who rushed over frantically, felt a bone-chilling chill.

Huh! Boom——

In an instant, a huge blue cold wave, like a rotating waterfall, engulfed everything in his field of vision.

Master Tan roared, and his flying action gradually solidified, and his whole body was covered with a layer of frost.

The magic ruler with dim spiritual light condensed a layer of blue ice. It was still several feet away from Lu Changan and fell from the air.

There was a crisp "snap" sound.

"Lu Changan... you coward..."

Master Tan's body was frozen, and his consciousness transmitted the sound, and he made the last sound, revealing extreme frustration and unwillingness.

Until his death, he didn't even touch the corner of Lu Changan's clothes.

Crack!

The frozen body of the real person fell to the ground, like broken porcelain.

...

In front of the hexagonal palace.

Shi Manrong shuddered and looked towards the direction of the bridge and the river bank.

"Lu Changan..."

At this time, she felt a fluctuation of real Dan-level magic power, which was extremely terrifying and frightened.

Due to the limitation of the distance of consciousness, she couldn't see the battle in the distance very clearly.

After a while.

The familiar young figure flew back slowly.

"Daoyou Lu, is everything going well?"

Shi Manrong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Changan who was unharmed.

"Solved!"

Lu Changan smiled and said thankfully:

"Fortunately, Master Tan was seriously poisoned and could only launch one or two attacks at full strength. Otherwise, a third-grade inferior talisman might not be able to take his life."

Not long ago, Lu Changan used a talisman of ice magic that had been nurtured for decades.

That talisman was made from the earliest batch of second-grade superior spiritual wood. Its spirituality and power broke the limits of the material and were comparable to third-grade inferior talismans.

The art of talismans, which uses talismans to contain treasures, is almost lost in the art of talismans.

Lu Changan inherited the foundation of his previous life and began to plot since he entered the foundation-building period.

Combined with the characteristics of Changqing magic power, decades of unremitting daily nurturing has now shown considerable results.

The only regret of killing Master Tan is that due to the fierce battle, the storage bag on his body exploded and most of the items were destroyed.

Fortunately, the most valuable Wu Chi magic weapon was only slightly damaged.

In addition, there is a top-grade defensive weapon and several quasi-third-level ore materials, which are relatively intact.

Unlike Master Hu, who was killed by Lu Changan with a single blow before, the loot in the storage bag was intact.

Lu Changan thought to himself: It is better to be the sixth person, as the losses in the battle will be minimal and the profits will be higher.

…

"Ugh...it's so cold!"

As if affected by the cold spell, the pale-faced girl Wei gradually woke up.

"Senior Lu, did you save me?"

Miss Wei endured the pain and soon discovered that she was restrained, and said with a forced smile.

To her horror, except for Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi, there were no other monks here.

The cold wave in the distance and its residual power made Miss Wei frightened.

"Master Tan..."

"There are only three of us left in the ancient ruins now."

Lu Changan's answer confirmed Miss Wei's guess.

If other foundation-building monks could do this, she would be shocked.

But for the mysterious existence that Master once mentioned, Miss Wei accepted it logically.

"Senior Lu, let me live. What are your instructions?"

Miss Wei said respectfully.

"Lu has something to ask you."

Lu Changan was satisfied with her knowledge and did not need to spend a lot of time.

"Senior Lu, please ask me. My little girl knows everything and will answer it."

Miss Wei did not bargain.

"Except for a few of you, is there any news about this ancient ruins?"

This is not only an issue that Lu Changan is concerned about, but Fairy Shi takes it even more seriously.

Because there are still some unexplored areas in the ruins, and many of the remaining formation restrictions are a great reference and inspiration for Shi Manrong.

"In general, the news has not been leaked, but the little girl is not 100% sure."

Miss Wei paused and began to state the reason.

According to her description, Master Tan was a traitor from the Lihuo Palace. He was wanted by the sect and had to pay a heavy price, including the third-level talisman to save his life, before he fled to the Black Mist Mountains.

In anger, Master Tan prepared to join the Demon Cult. After many twists and turns, he contacted Miss Wei.

As one of Liang Shaotian's direct disciples, Miss Wei had done a great job in introducing a powerful sect master to the Demon Sect.

On the way, the two discovered Hu Zhenren and two foundation-building monks.

The ancient ruins were accidentally broken by two foundation builders while they were chasing and escaping, alarming Hu Zhenren, who was setting up an array to hunt monsters around them.

The tall-nosed young man at the peak of foundation building was the law enforcement monk of Liuyun Sect in the northern border of Liang Kingdom.

It happened that Master Tan and Master Hu had known each other before. After discovering the ruins, they immediately controlled the foundation-building monks present and sealed off the scene.

During this period, the two real monks did not allow other monks to leave and eliminated all means of contact with the outside world.

"When I first discovered this ruins, the little girl didn't pay much attention, thinking it was a chance left by a certain third-level formation master or the true elixir force. I didn't expect that this ruins would be so difficult to conquer, and it seemed that it had been explored by predecessors. …”

Miss Wei explained the causes and consequences one by one.

Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

The exposure of ancient ruins is only a matter of time.

Although the two real people have prevented the transmission of information, there are many people involved in this matter, and their backgrounds are not small.

Tan Zhenren and Gao Biqiang, who are at the peak of their foundation building, come from the first and second immortal cultivating sects in the Liang Kingdom.

Miss Wei is from the Demon Cult and is Liang Shaotian's direct disciple.

In addition to human monks, this place is located inside the Black Mist Mountains, and there are many monsters around it.

Several waves of human monks have come here, and they have fought before, which may have attracted the attention of a few intelligent monsters.

"By the way, the little girl has left a 'soul lamp' with sensing direction in the demon sect's altar. If I die, my master or senior brother can lock a general area."

"The little girl's words are not a threat to the senior. But if this happens, the master will definitely send someone to investigate, and the situation of this ruins will also be exposed."

Miss Wei said cautiously.

There was no emotion or anger on Lu Changan's face, and he said, "I hope you will cooperate well and I will leave you a way to survive."

"Thank you, senior, for your kindness. No matter how you deal with it, the little girl will obey the arrangements."

Miss Wei bowed her head.

A flash of surprise flashed in Shi Manrong's eyes. As the female disciple of the evil leader Liang Shaotian, this girl Wei had a cold and arrogant temperament when they first met her. Why now she has no arrogance at all.

Call Senior Lu Changan directly and be obedient.

"Xianzi Shi and I got an opportunity in the ruins, and we don't want outsiders to know more specific information. You let go of the sea of ​​consciousness and let Lu erase the memory of recent days."

Lu Changan said without any doubt.

If the target actively cooperates, it will not be difficult to accurately erase a recent memory of the foundation-building monk with fake elixir-level consciousness.

"Senior Lu, please take action."

Miss Wei closed her eyes without hesitation.

Lu Changan stretched out his index finger, touched Miss Wei's forehead, and used the secret sea of ​​consciousness technique from his previous life.

It is easier to erase memories than to restore them, especially recent memories, which are at a shallow level.

If it is a relatively distant memory, many of it is sunk deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, and it is more than ten times more difficult to erase it accurately.

Unless it is a violent erasure that severely damages the sea of ​​consciousness and turns the target into an idiot.

After a moment, Lu Changan retracted his finger, his consciousness was consumed a lot.

Miss Wei's forehead was dripping with sweat and her skirt was almost soaked. During this period, she fainted.

"For Liang Shaotian's sake, Lu will spare your life."

Lu Changan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"I...here is..."

Miss Wei was stunned for a moment and looked around.

At this time, she only vaguely remembered that she met Lu Changan and the others outside the ancient ruins two or three months ago.

After that, what happened when everyone entered the ruins together again, her mind was blank.

Lu Changan's ability to accurately erase only a few memories. Many of the more distant memories were deposited in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Anyway, the ancient ruins will be exposed sooner or later, just don't let Miss Wei return to the Demon Sect too early.

Lu Changan was too lazy to explain and winked at the fairy master.

…

Seven days later.

Under the leadership of the fairy master, the three returned to the entrance of the passage to the ground from the ancient ruins.

Lu Changan stood at the entrance of the passage, and the fairy master and Miss Wei stood on the other side of the ruins.

Miss Wei was seriously injured and would not recover for a year or two. Now, the fairy master has planted a ban on her to help in the ruins.

"Fairy master, although there are still some opportunities here, you can't stay too long."

Lu Changan warned.

It turned out that in order to become a third-level formation master as soon as possible, Master Fairy planned to stay in the ancient ruins for another two months to study the formation restrictions here.

The formation inheritance jade cylinder that Master Fairy got in the treasure house space is the same as many formation restrictions in this ruins.

It is a third-level top-level formation inheritance, which can even be regarded as a quasi-fourth-level formation inheritance.

Master Fairy was very satisfied with this formation inheritance and copied a copy for Lu Changan.

This level of formation inheritance is the first time Lu Changan has obtained it in three lives, which is very precious.

A few days ago.

Lu Changan and Master Manrong tried to find other tokens in the explored area, but failed.

The token of Master Hu was swallowed by the ancient remnant formation or recovered by the ground, and it was also not found.

In order to prevent the night from getting too long, Lu Changan decided to leave the ruins as soon as possible.

In Liang State, he had one last thing left in his plan to prepare for the formation of the elixir.

Find Zhang Tieshan to trade the secret method of the elixir.

Before going to the ancient ruins, Lu Changan was mentally prepared for failure.

The secret method of transforming pills is an important backup. If the "transforming pills into liquid" can be repeatedly practiced, the quality of the pills can theoretically be improved to a very high upper limit.

After finishing this matter, Lu Changan can start preparing to leave the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world that is caught in the war.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Lu, when I become a third-level formation master, plus my understanding of this ruins. Even if a true Dan cultivator comes in person, he can't do anything to me."

Shi Manrong smiled, with strong confidence in her tone.

"Master Fairy, please take care, Lu will leave first."

Lu Changan smiled warmly, and finally bowed solemnly, turned around and entered the passage back to the ground.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful on the road."

Shi Manrong felt strange and returned the greeting.

Because they were too familiar with each other, there was rarely such formal etiquette when they said goodbye.

What's more, Shi Manrong would be able to return to Wuqi Mountain in a few months at most.

Watching Lu Changan's back as he left alone.

Shi Manyong frowned slightly, her face full of thought, with an inexplicable premonition in her heart.

Although she had a vague sense of it, she could not have predicted it at all:

This separation would lead to a world of great changes.
