"Being followed?"

The eagle-nosed old man said in surprise: "Your nose is so sharp, who else can follow you?"

"It's hard to say, the opponent's strength is not weak, and he is extremely good at concealment. If I hadn't been extremely careful and sniffed out clues on the road, I'm afraid they would really succeed..." The hunchbacked man's face turned pale. Said solemnly.

"There is such a thing? It shouldn't be...... We have been extremely careful. It stands to reason that no one knows our whereabouts."

The eagle-nosed old man pondered for a moment, and then continued: "This is the end of the matter, we can't make this trip in vain, we must get the holy energy of the mountains and rivers no matter what. As long as my skills recover, I can take you back to see the city lord. There is no need to hide from XZ."

"snort!"

The hunchbacked man sneered and said, "Isn't it thanks to you that I am in this situation? If you hadn't dragged me into the water, how could I have been hunted down?"

"What's the point of saying this now." The eagle-nosed old man said impatiently: "You have to think about it, as long as we tell the city lord his secret, it will be a great achievement. In the future, wind will win wind and rain will rain. , isn't it much better than being subservient to others now?"

"Hehe, after all, these are just your one-sided words!"

Hearing what the other party said, instead of being persuaded, the hunchbacked man yelled angrily: "You said he rebelled against the city lord, but he never told me where the evidence is! And the sword formula you mentioned, Originally, I should have given it to me when I helped you escape from Ascension, but you kept procrastinating, and now only half of it has been passed on to me, how can I trust you?"

The hunchbacked man became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice was raised several points in the end. Liang Yan had been eavesdropping outside the door. Based on the few words they said, it seemed that they were avoiding someone's pursuit, and this situation of being hunted It was all caused by the eagle-nosed old man in the house.

"hehe."

The eagle-nosed old man sneered, and said lightly: "If I pass on all the sword tactics to you, will you still care about my old man's life? Don't worry, fellow Taoist, as long as we can go back alive, all the benefits promised to you before will be gone." I will never break my promise!"

After hearing this, the hunchbacked man's face was cloudy and uncertain. He was silent for a long time in the Taoist temple, and finally restrained his emotions, and said slowly: "Okay, I will trust you again, what should we do next?"

"Of course, continue to pursue the clues of Shanhe Shengqi."

The eagle-nosed old man replied without hesitation: "Before you went to participate in the dark market in the north of the city, I secretly contacted an old friend and asked him to help investigate the news of the holy spirit of the mountains and rivers?"

"oh?"

The hunchbacked man frowned after hearing this, and asked almost immediately: "What is the identity of this old friend you mentioned, is he reliable?"

"Don't worry." The eagle-nosed old man said with a smile: "Although this person has a flamboyant personality, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. He doesn't know my identity and origin, but he has received my favor back then. Come to repay the favor."

After hearing what he said, the hunchbacked man nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if this person is reliable, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the clues of the holy energy of mountains and rivers. As far as I know, not only we are looking for this thing, but also There are major chambers of commerce who are also secretly investigating, and even they don’t have any clues, so how can your friend be any better?”

"Hehe, the Holy Qi of Mountains and Rivers is one of the seven innate qi of good fortune, and it is reasonable for the major chambers of commerce to be moved. But if they can't find it, it doesn't mean that my people can't find it either." The eagle-nosed old man hehe laughed.

"oh?"

The hunchbacked man seemed to think of something, with a hint of surprise on his face.

The eagle-nosed old man still smiled, and then he said with a smile: "You forgot whose territory this is? Although Guangling City is mixed with dragons and snakes, it is still in the Xuanyuan Domain in the final analysis. My friend is a general in the Xuanyuan Army. Now that he has a high position and authority, he is much better than the major chambers of commerce here."

"So it's from Xuanyuan City!"

The hunchbacked man showed joy, nodded his head and said: "That's right, Xuanyuan Potian's control is extremely strict, the Xuanyuan Army must have many eyeliners in Guangling City, and it's true that they are stronger than the major chambers of commerce in the city."

When he said this, he seemed to think of something, lowered his voice again, and said softly: "By the way, today I found a person in the dark market, he..."

The voice in the back became lower and lower, and in the end it was changed to the technique of sound transmission. No matter how mysterious Liang Yan's "Babu Yanyuan" and "Soul Separation Secret Technique" were, they could not hear clearly.

Just when Liang Yan was curious and wanted to know what he said next, the two people who were transmitting the sound suddenly stopped!

The hunchbacked man turned around abruptly, first his nose twitched twice, and then a gleam shot out of his eyes, and he looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"who?"

The hunchbacked man let out a low cry, raised his hand and threw out a yellow aura, and went straight to call from outside the courtyard.

Liang Yan was taken aback, and secretly cried out in his heart:

"Impossible, how did he find out!"

Under the shock of his mind, Liang Yan took a step back subconsciously, touched the Taixu gourd on his waist, and was about to sacrifice his flying sword to defend against the enemy.

However, the next moment, he stopped again.

"Eh? No!"

Liang Yan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he quickly realized that the aura was not aimed at him, but towards the other side of the courtyard gate.

boom!

With a muffled sound, the yellow streamer exploded in the night, and then a figure appeared from the shadows, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, fellow Taoist Tiemu, it's me!"

"Ling Chongxiao?"

In the Taoist temple, the voice of the eagle-nosed old man came out.

"Haha, it's right here!"

The man walked slowly from the shadows, revealing his own appearance. He was seven feet tall, with a jade tree facing the wind, and a folding fan with scattered flowers was shaking gently in his hand, looking gentle and elegant.

"Ling got up on a whim and made a little joke at night, so I hope fellow Daoist Tiemu is not to blame!" the elegant man said with a chuckle.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, what are you talking about! Who in the entire Xuanyuan Domain doesn't know your reputation as a 'Confucian God General'?" The eagle-nosed old man laughed in the Taoist temple: "Since Daoist Ling is here, does the matter I asked you to investigate already have a clue? "

"good."

Ling Chongxiao nodded, shook the folding fan lightly with one hand, and walked leisurely into the courtyard with the other behind his back.

Seeing this, Liang Yan's heart trembled, and he took a few steps back.

"This person is not simple. He was hiding nearby just now, but I didn't even notice it!" Liang Yan thought to himself.

You must know that he has made great progress in his cultivation now, and he has comprehended the true meaning of "Babu Yanyuan" from Master Lianxin. It is impossible for monks below the transformation realm to hide it from his eyes and ears.

Although Liang Yan put most of his attention on eavesdropping on the conversation between the two Taoists just now, the fact that this person was able to walk so close without being discovered shows that his cultivation level has probably reached Transform into a catastrophe!

It was also fortunate that Liang Yan had the Secret Orb in his body. Even though he hadn't spotted the other party at such a short distance just now, the other party hadn't spotted him either!

Ling Chongxiao had already passed through the courtyard at this time, and walked straight into the Taoist temple.

His eyes swept across the room, and finally landed on the hunchbacked man, with an expression of great interest, he said: "Although this little friend has not stepped into the realm of heaven and man, his nose is very sensitive." Hey, Ling just came here not long ago, and he sniffed it out."

The connection between heaven and man is a sign of a monk in the realm of transformation.

After a monk has cultivated to the peak of the Tongxuan Realm, there is no so-called bottleneck, but to find his own celestial connection.

Once there is a sense of heaven and man, you can spy on the way of heaven, so that you can vaguely sense when your own disaster will come.

In other words, if you want to experience three disasters and nine disasters, you must first have the induction between heaven and man.

Cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm have a lifespan of three thousand years, and some monks have been trapped at the peak of the Tongxuan Realm for thousands of years, and they still can't find their own celestial connection, so they can't enter the Tribulation Realm.

Only a very small number of monks can find the connection between heaven and man, and thus meet their first difficulty.

And among this very small number of monks, less than 20% of the monks can survive their first difficulty and enter the realm of transformation.

Liang Yan had already seen through the cultivation of the hunchbacked man, which was at the peak of Tongxuan.

And Ling Chongxiao called the hunchbacked man a "junior", and said that the other party hadn't received the induction from heaven and man, which showed that his own cultivation level was indeed in the realm of transformation.

"hehe."

The hunchbacked man gave a chuckle in the Taoist temple, stepped back to the corner, and said lightly: "The junior doesn't have any great skills, but this nose is still useful, which made the senior laugh."

Ling Chongxiao smiled slightly, with a noncommittal expression on his face, and looked at the eagle-nosed old man on the futon again.

"Fellow Daoist Tiemu, I already have clues to what you asked me to help you investigate."

"oh?"

The eagle-nosed old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "As expected of being one of the twelve generals of Xuanyuan City, his hands and eyes are as good as the sky! Fellow Daoist, tell me, who is holding the sacred energy of the mountains and rivers?"

"Fellow Taoist Tiemu, don't worry, just listen to me slowly."

Ling Chongxiao said unhurriedly: "In the past few days, I have called some eyes and ears of Guangling City, and after a long time of secret investigation, I found that this person with the sacred energy of mountains and rivers seems to be deliberately hiding his whereabouts and does not want to be discovered. But with At the same time, there appeared several people in Guangling City who claimed to possess the "sacred energy of mountains and rivers", and while using the guise of trading, they collected the spiritual power of those who came to trade..."

When he said this, the hunchbacked man on the side suddenly interrupted:

"That's right! I also encountered this matter today. There was a person in the dark market who used stones to collect the spiritual power of everyone. He said that only those who let the stones shine can be qualified to trade with him. I felt a little strange at the time , so I didn't go forward to inject spiritual power, and went out of the dark market directly, but I didn't expect to be followed by people afterwards."

"Hehe, this matter is indeed a bit strange."

Ling Chongxiao said with a smile: "I secretly sent more people to investigate, and found that these few monks who claimed to have the sacred energy of the mountains and rivers were ordered by others, and the person behind the scenes is very likely to be the person who really possesses the sacred energy of the mountains and rivers Since I couldn’t find the real master, I spent time investigating these cultivators who were secretly collecting spiritual power, and found that they all came from the same chamber of commerce......”

"oh?"

The eagle-nosed old man was obviously interested, and asked, "Which chamber of commerce are they?"

"Nine Palaces Chamber of Commerce!" Ling Chongxiao said lightly.

"Nine Palaces Chamber of Commerce?"

The hunchbacked man on the side frowned slightly and said: "According to my investigations these days, the Jiugong Chamber of Commerce is a dark horse that suddenly appeared, and the background is very mysterious... It is said that one of their chambers of commerce There are also experts from the Transformation Tribulation Realm sitting in the town, and their financial resources are very strong, and they have the capital to compete with the Wenxiang Chamber of Commerce, the Jialan Chamber of Commerce, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, and the Luowang Chamber of Commerce."

"That's right." Ling Chongxiao nodded and said: "The Jiugong Chamber of Commerce is very mysterious, even I can't find out their details, and they haven't set foot in Xuanyuan Domain before, so they should be doing business elsewhere. This time, the 'Wentai Fighting Treasure Conference' seems to have popped up out of nowhere......"

The conversation between the three naturally reached Liang Yan's ears verbatim.

The reason why he traveled thousands of miles and came to Xuanyuan Domain alone was because of the holy spirit of the mountains and rivers. He did not expect to investigate in Guangling City for many days, and finally got clues in this remote Taoist temple.

"The Nine Palaces Chamber of Commerce... I've heard it mentioned before." Liang Yan thought to himself, "This 'Confucian God General' is one of the twelve generals in the Xuanyuan Army. Not bad, the information he investigated should be reliable, maybe the Nine Palaces Chamber of Commerce really has something to do with Shanhe Shengqi..."

While thinking about it, Ling Chongxiao in the Taoist temple suddenly frowned, and looked at the big tree in the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Tiemu, did the old pagoda tree in your yard have such a faint dead air before?"

As soon as he said this, whether it was the eagle-nosed old man, the hunchbacked man in the Taoist temple, or Liang Yan outside the Taoist temple, all expressions changed.

"Oops!"

Liang Yan realized in an instant that he absorbed the dead energy in the coffin in the unscented secret room not long ago, which caused the balance of life and death in his body to lose balance.

Although his current cultivation base is so advanced that he can suppress this death energy, the excess death energy can easily escape.

What entered the yard now was only a wisp of his own soul, and his control over the death energy was not as good as that of the main body. Although there was no breath under the cover of the Tianji Pearl, the death energy in the soul was unconsciously leaked out .

Of the three people in the Taoist temple, the hunchbacked man was not cultivated enough, the eagle-nosed old man was seriously injured, and only this "Confucian **** general" had unfathomable cultivation and was keen to discover the strangeness on the locust tree.

Liang Yan was a little jealous of him, not only because of his cultivation, but also because of his status as a **** general.

"Walk!"

This was Liang Yan's first reaction~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, he didn't need to hide any more. With a thought, the soul from the courtyard flew out, merged with his real deity, and then escaped with light. , and flew away.

"Hmph, the tree uses locust tree as a 'ghost'. It's not that there's something wrong with the locust tree, but because someone is playing tricks here!" The eagle-nosed old man sneered, and looked at the hunchbacked man in the corner.

"I'll go after it!"

The hunchbacked man spoke expressionlessly, and was about to chase out of the Taoist temple, but was stopped by Ling Chongxiao beside him.

"This person is not simple. With all due respect, Xiaoyou may not be his opponent."

The "Confucian God General" of Xuanyuan City had a calm tone and a gentle face. He put away the folding fan in his hand, turned around and clasped his fists at the eagle-nosed old man and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Tiemu, if Ling does one last thing for you today, the previous kindness will be cancelled, and from now on...we will owe nothing to you!"
