Chapter 283 Investigation!

Qingyun Immortal Gate.

Houtu Peak.

A deep and mournful cry suddenly sounded in the secret room of the mountain in the back mountain.

In the secret room, one after another weak and old monks opened their eyes.

They all glanced at the lamp stand in the center of the secret room.

On the lamp stand, dozens of soul lamps were burning normally, and the bean-sized lights flickered continuously.

Only one lamp had completely extinguished, and was slowly emitting thin white smoke.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"It's that old thing Qingshan who passed away!"

"What a pity! Senior Brother Qingshan was the one who had the most hope of breaking through to the peak of the Nascent Soul and breaking through the realm of transformation in Houtu Peak!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that the person who would go west this time would be him!"

"Before he left, didn't he still shout that he had found a suitable cauldron?"

"Yes, seeing how excited and proud he was, I thought he would succeed immediately and come back with a younger body with more potential!"

"Who would have thought that Senior Brother Qingshan would encounter such a disaster on his way there?"

"Is it because his life span has ended, or was he killed by someone when he was trying to take over the cauldron..."

A dozen old immortals like Qingshan Patriarch, except for a few people who didn't get along with Qingshan Patriarch secretly gloating over his misfortune, the rest of them all looked sad.

Qingshan Patriarch's fate now may not be their tomorrow.

After all, they all have a short life span, and they are just using secret techniques to prolong their lives.

If they fail to seize the body like the Qingshan Patriarch, the consequences are unimaginable.

Swish!

A figure flashed in the secret room, and everyone looked up at the same time.

It was the current peak master of Houtu Peak, Yue Qiangguang, who moved over.

Glancing at the soul lamp that had just been extinguished on the lampstand, Yue Qiangguang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:

"I didn't expect that Uncle Qingshan had met with an accident!"

"No wonder Uncle Qingshan has been down the mountain for so long, but he hasn't come back yet!"

As he said that, Yue Qiangguang bowed to the dozen old monks present and said:

"Don't worry, uncles and uncles, I will investigate this matter clearly. If someone interferes and ruins Uncle Qingshan's life, our Houtu Peak will not let it go!"

After speaking, Yue Qiangguang flashed and moved away again.

"Hmph, even if the investigation is clear, Qingshan's life is already irreversible!"

"This Xiao Yue really doesn't take us old bones seriously anymore. He just deals with things like this every time something happens!"

"If he really wants to, he can escort Brother Qingshan in person when he leaves, or at least assign a Jindan elder to secretly accompany and protect him!"

"Okay, okay, what are you doing?"

An old cultivator who is closest to Yue Qiangguang spoke in dissatisfaction, interrupting the increasingly excessive words of the others.

"Qiguang has done this before, but when he proposed to send someone to protect you, what did you old guys say?"

"The method of taking over the body is most taboo to have a third person present. If Qiguang really escorts in person or sends someone to protect you, can you really rest assured?"

"If I remember correctly, it seems that many of you said that Qiguang was malicious and had ulterior motives, right?"

As soon as these words came out,

The secret room was instantly silent.

They just said it casually just now, just to vent their dissatisfaction with Yue Qiangguang's casual attitude.

Just as the old cultivator said just now.

The secret method of taking over the body is the most private and obscure, and it does not allow a third person to be present.

If Yue Qiangguang really cared about them and sent someone to protect them, they would be more worried.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing here."

At this time, someone jumped out to act as a peacemaker.

"Xiao Yue is a very good kid, otherwise we would not have nominated him to be the peak master back then, right?"

"For now, we still have to find out the reason why Junior Brother Qingshan failed to take over the body!"

"If any junior brother does not believe Xiao Yue, you might as well go out of the mountain in person and investigate the problem thoroughly..."

As he said, the old cultivator's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and every cultivator who met his eyes bowed his head and said nothing.

What a joke, with their current weak state, their cultivation is no longer at its peak. If they go out at this time, what if they are plotted against by their former enemies? Isn't it a way to seek death?

Under normal circumstances, unless they find the most suitable cauldron for them, no one will be willing to consume their essence to walk out of this secret room.

"Okay, since no one is willing, then let Xiao Yue handle this for the time being, and all the junior brothers just need to wait patiently."

The final word.

The secret room returned to its previous silence, and only the soul lamp representing the Qingshan Patriarch was still stubbornly emitting a wisp of smoke and dust.

Houtu Peak Master Hall.

The six true elders heard the call from the peak master and gathered here at the same time.

"Meet the peak master!"

The six people bowed to Yue Qiangguang at the same time.

Yue Qiangguang waved his hand lightly, without any polite words, and went straight to the point:

"Master Qingshan died a quarter of an hour ago. The cause of death is still unclear. I need you to go out and investigate now. You must find out the real cause of Master Qingshan's death before dark!"

Swish!

When the six true elders heard this, their expressions all changed.

The ancestor of Qingshan has the best talent in their Thousand Earth Peaks for thousands of years, and is the most likely to reach the realm of god transformation.

Is he actually dead now?

"Peak Master, I heard that Uncle Qingshan has found a cauldron that is very suitable for him. I don't know..."

A true elder asked Yue Qiguang.

Yue Qiguang didn't hide anything, he nodded directly and said:

"This is indeed the case. Uncle Qingshan came out secretly this time just for this matter."

"I just don't know why, but Master Qingshan has been out for less than half an hour, and the soul lamp has been completely extinguished!"

"I need to know whether Junior Uncle Qingshan died due to an accident in seizing the body, or if someone else was obstructing it and ruining Junior Uncle Qingshan's plan to seize the body!"

"Yes, Peak Master, don't worry, we will do our best!"

The six true elders bowed and said yes at the same time.

However, before they could get up and leave, Yue Qiguang's expression suddenly changed, and he waved his hand and said:

"Wait a minute, the cauldron that Uncle Qingshan took away has returned!"

"Let me ask them first!"

As he spoke, Yue Qiguang's aura suddenly erupted. He raised his hand and forcibly took Yu Ningxin and others who had just returned to the mountain gate with their swords and moved them into the main hall.

brush!

A stream of light flashed by, and Yu Ning, who was wielding a sword, felt his heart tremble and looked confused.

They never expected that even in front of the mountain gate of Qingyun Immortal Sect, they would encounter an unknown attack.

Those demon cultivators were too bold. In order to seize her nephew, they dared to attack in front of the Qingyun Immortal Gate!

but.

When she saw that the people who appeared in front of her were actually the peak master of Houtu Peak and the six true elders of Houtu Peak, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be my own family!

Yu Ning took a deep breath and quickly bowed to Yue Qiguang.

"Yu Ningxin, the true disciple of Cuizhu Peak, pays homage to Master Yue and all the elders!"

Next to them, Liu Yun, Yu Jiangcheng and Liu Zimo saw this and bowed to greet the big guys in front of them.

However, they were different from Liu Yun and others who were nervous and anxious.

Liu Zimo was extremely pleasantly surprised now.

Because what appeared before his eyes were seven rays of light, all locked in various colors six feet away.

Developed!

I didn't expect that as soon as I returned to Qingyun Immortal Sect, I would encounter such an unexpected surprise!

Normally, he would not have the chance to meet powerful people like Yue Qiguang and the other Peak Masters and True Elders.

Without any hesitation, while bending down to greet the seven people, Liu Zimo's mind was racing and he instantly bound all seven Yue Qiguang!

[Binding successful! Your good brother Yue Qiguang is online and can currently bind objects (144/1000)]

【……】

[Binding successful! Your good brother Lu Yaoping is online and can currently bind objects (150/1000)]

Cool!

Liu Zimo felt happy.

Especially after taking a look at Yue Qiguang's cultivation attributes, his mood became even better.

【Name】Yue Qiguang

【Age】17356

【Spiritual Root】The best fire spirit root, the best golden spirit root

[Cultivation Realm] Nascent Soul First Realm

[Skills] Golden Body Fire Cloud Technique, Turtle Breath Taoist Technique, Spiritual Plant Cultivating Technique, Sword Control Technique...

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Houtu Peak, who was rumored to be at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, had quietly broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

A "good brother" in the Nascent Soul Realm, he is definitely a high-quality potential stock.

Any breakthrough in the future will bring a massive increase in Liu Zimo's cultivation.

The other six true elders are actually pretty good too.

Five are at the peak of the Golden Core, and one is at the ninth level of the Golden Core.

It can only be said that these true elders who stand at the top of Qingyun Immortal Sect are worthy of their cultivation realm and spiritual qualifications.

Liu Zimo secretly praised in his heart that after binding all seven people, he stood aside obediently and acted as a transparent person.

As the culprit who personally killed Patriarch Qingshan, he certainly knew why Yue Qiguang and others summoned them here this time.

You must know that Patriarch Qingshan is the former true elder of Houtu Peak, and his cultivation level is also extraordinary.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely leave a trace of his soul within the sect.

Therefore, at the moment when Patriarch Qingshan died, Houtu Peak might have already learned about his death.

Otherwise, Yue Qiguang, the peak master of Houtu Peak, would never intercept the true disciples of Cuizhu Peak without any reason.

This is obviously for the purpose of raising an army to punish someone!

"Okay, no need to be polite!"

Yue Qiguang waved his hands to Yu Ningxin and Liu Yun with a kind face, and said quietly:

"I was wandering around the peaks just now, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a strange aura lingering on the three of you. I was worried that there would be something abnormal, so I moved you directly to this thick earth palace!"

"You are both the true successors of Cuizhu Peak and the direct disciples of Master Dai. Originally, I shouldn't have been so overbearing, but the situation is urgent and I can't take care of so much at the moment!"

While speaking, Yue Qiguang also glanced at Yu Jiangcheng pretending to be casual.

As for Liu Zimo, who was standing next to Yu Jiangcheng, he was completely ignored by him.

"What?!"

When Yu Ningxin and Liu Yun heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change.

I never expected that Master Yue’s perception would be so sharp and he would discover the abnormality on them so quickly.

What's more, they didn't expect that the demon cultivator had left strange marks on their bodies at some point.

Fortunately, they chose to return to the sect at the first time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

"I dare not hide it from Master Yue. We really encountered some strange things when we went out of the mountain this time..."

Yu Ningxin did not doubt anything else. After bowing to Yue Qiangguang, he respectfully told them everything they encountered outside the mountain in detail.

Finally, he took Yu Jiangcheng's hand and pulled him in front of Yue Qiangguang, begging:

"Master Yue, this is my nephew who just ascended from the lower world. It was he who was targeted by the demon cultivator!"

"Please check him for him, Master Yue, and don't leave any sequelae!"

Yue Qiangguang nodded happily after hearing this. This was exactly what he wanted.

He robbed these people from outside the door directly. Isn't this what he did?

As long as he carefully checked whether there were any signs of possession on Yu Jiangcheng's Dinglu, everything would naturally become clear.

"Alas, the demon cultivators are getting more and more rampant now!"

"I will report this to the headmaster later and beg him to strengthen the protection of the ascension land and the ascenders entering our Qingyun Immortal Sect to ensure that the same thing will never happen again in the future!"

"Come on, little guy, I will check your body now, remember to relax your mind and don't resist at all!"

As he said, Yue Qiangguang's spiritual consciousness probed outward and instantly wrapped Yu Jiangcheng completely in it.

Swish!

In just a moment, Yue Qiangguang completed the exploration of Yu Jiangcheng's body and sea of ​​consciousness.

"What's going on? There is no trace of being possessed?"

After retracting his spiritual consciousness, Yue Qiangguang couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He can be sure that Yu Jiangcheng's talent and qualifications are indeed very compatible with Qingshan Patriarch.

But why didn't he sense any soul breath from Qingshan Patriarch in Yu Jiangcheng's sea of ​​consciousness?

This is obviously abnormal!

According to Yu Ningxin and the others, Yu Jiangcheng was probably abducted by Qingshan Patriarch, and there were some traces of Qingshan Patriarch's aura on Yu Jiangcheng.

But the strange thing is that Qingshan Patriarch had obviously abducted people, but he did not seize Yu Jiangcheng's body, but abandoned him halfway.

This is not only abnormal, but also unreasonable!

In order to wait for such a tripod furnace that is extremely compatible with his soul, Qingshan Patriarch has been suffering in the cave house in the back mountain for nearly a hundred years, and he is almost at the point of exhaustion.

Now that he has finally encountered it, there is no reason for him to give up on his own initiative!

"So, there should be a third person hiding in the dark, it is him who forced Uncle Qingshan to give up the tripod furnace, and it is also him who finally murdered Uncle Qingshan's life!"

Yue Qiangguang secretly made guesses and inferences in his heart.

His sharp eyes swept over the three parties involved, Yu Ningxin, Liu Jun and Liu Zimo.
