Li Yan immediately injected his magic power into Cui Feng's body, but after his magic power circulated in the other party's body, his face turned embarrassed.
Cui Feng's life was completely gone at this time. Li Yan loosened his hand and the expression on his face slowly recovered. He didn't expect Cui Feng to die so easily.
"He has a new insight into his own technique, but it takes a lot of energy to figure it out, and the little bit of energy he has left is consumed in an instant!"
Li Yan's thoughts raced through his mind, and then he suddenly made hand gestures and spoke to Cui Feng, who was sitting on the bed with his head down.
"excuse me!"
He was planning to force the other person's soul out of his body before it escaped into the cycle of reincarnation, and then cast a spell to search for his memories of his life.
This kind of magic is against the will of heaven for the dead. It is very likely that Cui Feng's soul will be reduced to ashes under the magic, and he will never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation again.
But Li Yan couldn't care less at the moment. This was his last chance to find out the reason.
As Li Yan made hand gestures, a ball of green light appeared at his fingertips. Li Yan then shouted softly and pointed a finger at the top of Cui Feng's head.
The green light at the fingertips flashed and entered Cui Feng's head, and then a strange scene appeared.
Cui Feng's skin, which was originally red, suddenly turned a pale green on his face and neck. He looked extremely eerie and terrifying.
Then, a red smoke invisible to the naked eye rose from the top of his head. At first, it was just a wisp, which did not dissipate after rising, but stopped about an inch above Cui Feng's head.
As the skin on Cui Feng's face turned greener and greener, the smoke slowly condensed into an extremely illusory human figure in Li Yan's consciousness, as if it could be blown away with a breath.
Under the stimulation of Li Yan's magic formula, the facial features of the illusory figure gradually became clearer, and it was exactly the appearance of Cui Feng. At this time, Cui Feng's soul still had a dazed look on his face.
The other person has just died, and he himself is a powerful warrior, so his soul can remain in his body for a long time. This is also one of the reasons why warriors are tougher than ordinary people.
Afterwards, the shadow of the soul began to move from top to bottom, and his arms gradually solidified. At this time, the facial skin of Cui Feng's physical body had turned dark green, which was very scary.
The phantom of his soul above his head only had the calf below the knee left that had not yet condensed. Once it condensed successfully, it would mean that Cui Feng's three souls and seven spirits had completely left his body.
By then, Li Yan will be able to cast a spell to trace Cui Feng's memories before his death and try to get the answers he wants.
At this time, Li Yan felt a little relieved. Cui Feng's soul did not explode immediately, which meant that the most terrifying situation he had guessed might not exist.
Just as Li Yan forced the last of Cui Feng's soul out of his body, and the legs on Cui Feng's soul had just been successfully condensed, a sudden change occurred.
Cui Feng's originally dull soul suddenly became lively in his eyes, and he turned his gaze and stared at Li Yan.
The sudden scene made Li Yan stunned. At this moment, his soul was in an unconscious state.
Just as he was stunned, Cui Feng's soul suddenly became blurred, and then turned into a monster with a big head and a thin tail in front of Li Yan.
This monster looked like a tadpole that had been expanded many times, except that it had a pair of small eyes and a big mouth on its head.
Li Yan was not prepared for this sudden change. The monster with a big head and a thin tail looked at Li Yan with clear eyes.
Li Yan clearly saw a very complicated expression in the eyes of the monster with a big head and a thin tail.
Li Yan's reaction was also extremely fast. He was stunned for a moment before a light shield suddenly appeared in his palm and covered the monster with a big head and a thin tail.
However, the monster with a big head and a thin tail did not dodge at all and allowed Li Yan's magic power to cover it. Just when the spiritual power shield just covered its body, the monster with a big head and a thin tail began to break into pieces.
As the monster with a big head and a thin tail opened and closed its mouth slightly, Li Yan clearly heard a very weak voice, and there was a hint of relief in the eyes of the monster with a big head and a thin tail.
"Grand Marshal..."
Then, Li Yan's spiritual power shield fell, but it only covered the starlight.
"this… "
Li Yan looked at the tiny specks of starlight that even his magic power could not gather, and he knew that it was the complete disintegration of his soul.
But at this moment, a series of memories emerged in his mind. He was actually quite familiar with this monster with a big and thin tail, as he had been with it for several months.
If this thing hadn't appeared again, Li Yan would have long forgotten its existence...
On the seashore thousands of miles away from "Yuhai City", Li Yan stood on the edge of a cliff, letting the sea breeze blow on his face, causing his green clothes to rustle.
At this time, he had already left the Duke's Mansion. Before leaving, his voice rang in the minds of Lin Yuxing and the others.
"The Duke is already old, and he has used up his last bit of innate energy in the battle, and his life force is gone. I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to help him. Now that we are done, you should bury him with honor!"
When the Duke's Mansion was in chaos, Li Yan had already left quietly. He was in no mood to explain anything to them.
When the old emperor arrives, he will definitely secretly look for the two foundation-building monks to investigate. After checking, he will know that what he said is true and Cui Feng was not harmed by anyone.
Li Yan had also learned about the rules of the immortals. The two foundation-building cultivators were only responsible for protecting the emperor from being harmed by immortals from other countries.
As for the fight for fame and throne like the Southern King, they will not interfere at all, and may even think it is a good thing. Only when a strong person controls a country can it be worthy of their protection.
Li Yan had a blank expression, listening to the whistling of the wind in his ears and the waves hitting the shore under his feet, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. "When I first saw that monster with a big tail, I was also very scared. It came in overwhelming numbers, but in the end it just swallowed the hot magma on time every day. Why did it end up as Cui Feng's soul..."
As Li Yan walked along the way, he kept thinking carefully about the monster. It was the same group of monsters he encountered outside the "Fire Palace" on the second floor of the Beiming Demon Tower.
They come in groups every day just to devour the hot magma erupting from the "Fire Palace" mountain. After devouring it, they disappear in groups again.
At the beginning, Li Yan did not dare to provoke them because of his low cultivation level and could only stay away from them.
"My dream happened to be in the 'Fire Palace', which is the same place where this monster appeared. I met Cui Feng in the dream there. Was it human manipulation, or was there something wrong with the monster itself..."
Li Yan stood on the edge of the cliff, thinking carefully about the incredible things he had encountered in the past few days.
"There are two ways to try to solve it now. The first is to go to the Pure Land Sect's 'Northern Underworld Demon Suppression Tower' and find this kind of monster. I can capture some and search their souls.
The second way is to look for information and books related to this monster, understand what it is, and then make plans for the next step. "
Li Yan kept calculating in his mind.
"And the first method requires us to travel millions of miles to the Pure Land Sect and find a 'Xuanming Order'.
With my current abilities, these are not difficult tasks and won't take too long.
But even after entering, we can only search the soul of this unknown monster..."
A big mountain is bathed in the sun, the whole mountain is bright and shining, as if covered with gold and silver, shining brightly.
There were rays of light around Li Yan, some flying off into the distance, some flashing from the sky.
After going around the side of the mountain, a large area of buildings like stars appeared in the field of vision. As Li Yan flew, these scenes quickly enlarged his sight.
The buildings below were jumping like stars, one by one, bit by bit, and Hengjian Street came into view. It was a large town.
Li Yan quickly landed in front of the town, and at the same time, many lights of various colors fell around him one after another.
These lights fell, revealing the male and female cultivators inside. They immediately released their spiritual sense to scan the surroundings. As soon as they touched Li Yan's breath, their faces changed drastically.
Awe immediately appeared in their eyes, and they all moved away from Li Yan, walking cautiously from one side towards the entrance of the town.
Li Yan walked straight towards the entrance of the town with an expressionless face. The highest among the cultivators around him were only a few cultivators in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and most of the others were only young cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage.
At this moment, Li Yan had already returned to his identity as a cultivator. Although he still suppressed his cultivation, the aura of the early Golden Core was undoubtedly revealed, which frightened the young cultivators around him and they dared not approach him at all.
But fortunately, this is the nearest market town to the Wuliang Sect, and normally no daring cultivators would dare to mess around here, so they dared to muster up the courage to enter with this senior.
As Li Yan fell, he casually swept his spiritual sense and found that there were several equally powerful auras emanating from the market town.
Among them, there were three golden elixir auras at the same level as his, gathered in a courtyard in a corner of the town.
Just as Li Yan's spiritual sense swept over, several other spiritual senses in the town also swept over. The rest of the spiritual senses just swept over and passed by. It was obvious that they did not recognize Li Yan, so they had no interest in greeting him.
But the three spiritual consciousnesses in the same courtyard fell on Li Yan and looked him over carefully. Li Yan showed a very dull expression.
At the same time, a voice entered Li Yan's mind.
"This fellow Taoist is a stranger. You can come to my Peiyang Market for normal transactions, but please do not force buying or selling here..."
Li Yan was walking while listening to the other party's voice transmission. His face was blank. Suddenly, a small black token that looked like iron but not iron, and gold but not gold appeared in his hand.
The token flashed in his hand, then disappeared again, and the voice that entered his mind paused.
"Oh... Oh, so you are a fellow Taoist from the Wuliang Sect. I am sorry for my disrespect. You are well aware of the rules here. Please do as you please!"
The three divine senses only took a quick glance at the token and saw the pattern on it clearly. They recognized the origin of the token at a glance and their attitude immediately became very respectful.
Then, the three people's consciousness left immediately, and they no longer had any intention of staying with Li Yan.
In the northeast corner of the town, in a rather luxurious courtyard, three people were sitting opposite each other. In front of two of them was a board of black and white chess pieces, while the other was watching the game with great interest while holding a cup of tea.
Suddenly, the spiritual consciousness of the three people was released. A moment later, a middle-aged Confucian scholar sitting in front of the chessboard looked at the other two in confusion.
"Brothers, that person is holding the token of the Wuliang Sect. How come I don't recognize him? The Jindan cultivators of the Wuliang Sect also come here frequently. This person looks unfamiliar. Do you recognize him?"
A middle-aged woman holding a teacup and watching the chess game on the side also shook her head.
"I have also never seen this person. He doesn't look like he has changed his appearance. He might be a newcomer to the same level!"
The middle-aged woman thought about it but still couldn't match Li Yan's appearance. The two of them turned their eyes to an old man in brocade clothes with gray hair on the other side of the chessboard.
After thinking about it, the old man waved at them.
"I don't know this person either! Forget it, we are only responsible for warning those mid-level cultivators not to act recklessly here. The message has been delivered.
Although I don't know him, anyone who dares to pretend to be a monk from the Wuliang Sect here is just asking for trouble..."
