Jiao Hua was already in a semi-comatose state due to the pain, but after hearing Li Yan's words, he immediately regained some consciousness and was filled with hatred. Of course, he now hoped that Li Yan would take his magic core and let him die.
Li Yan ignored him and walked towards the door. He wanted to keep Jiao Hua to let the demon cultivator know the bloodiness of the cultivators from the Wild Moon Continent.
However, Jiao Hua was discovered later and would not live long, as Li Yan never left any room for him when he took action.
He had just injected a deadly poison into Jiao Hua's soul and magic core. When others discovered it, the poison had already seeped into and fused with him. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator took action, there would be little hope. Moreover, with Jiao Hua's status, it would be difficult for him to even see a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even if someone came to rescue him, if they didn't realize that Jiao Hua's soul and magic core were already poisonous, and Jiao Hua's body had been completely destroyed by Li Yan and became paralyzed, they would only choose to take over another body.
But if that time really comes, Jiao Hua's soul that has taken over another person's body will find that he will become weaker and weaker until he becomes nourishment for other people's souls.
Moreover, his magic core would spread poisonous gas, constantly destroying the body he was taking over, causing Jiao Hua to despair, collapse, and die in boundless fear.
This will cause psychological fluctuations in some demon cultivators, even if it is only a very small fluctuation, Li Yan's goal will have been achieved.
Li Yan did not spend much effort to open the sound and consciousness-isolating restriction set up by Jiao Hua. His cultivation was originally higher than Jiao Hua's, not to mention that the spiritual power condensed by the Guishui Sutra far exceeded that of the same level.
After Li Yan left the room, he immediately set up a few more restrictions. He tried his best to prevent someone from finding out tomorrow why Jiao Hua had not come out of the room yet.
After doing all this, Li Yan looked towards the courtyard. It was already midnight. Except for a few monks on guard duty who were sitting cross-legged in meditation at the four corners of the courtyard, there were no other monks in the courtyard.
Li Yan swept his spiritual sense and found that Bai Rou and the other three were already in one of the rooms, and there was a restriction outside the room. This restriction should have been set up by Hu Xiaowang or Yan Feijun. Li Yan could not easily penetrate it with his spiritual sense, but he could sense the general situation in the room.
Then Li Yan swept his spiritual sense again and found that the disciple of "Luoshu Lake" was staying in a room with the other five people. The protective restrictions on the house over there were much simpler. Li Yan didn't have to put in any effort to eavesdrop on the conversation of the five people.
This is the "Qingling Sect" disciples. They gave the other room to Bai Rou and others.
The three demon cultivators in the other rooms had already entered into meditation. They also sensed Li Yan's appearance, but after a quick glance with their spiritual sense, there was no movement.
After Li Yan heard all this, he felt relieved. At least for now, everything was normal.
Li Yan walked directly towards the room where Bai Rou and the other three were. The police officers in the courtyard just glanced at Li Yan, and after seeing that Jiao Hua's room was quiet, they closed their eyes again.
When Li Yan walked to the door without any disguise, the door had already been opened from the inside. Li Yan stepped in, and then saw King Hu Xiao wave his hand again. The door closed and the isolation ban was opened again.
"How is it, Junior Brother Li?" King Hu Xiao asked in a low voice as soon as the ban was opened, and the other three also had hopeful looks on their faces.
"Hehe, I got the restriction token." Li Yan didn't want to delay any longer at this moment, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, and two red iron blocks appeared in his hand.
Then, as the four people watched, Li Yan pinched his fingers and pointed his finger. The faces of the six people appeared on the two red iron blocks one after another like a revolving lantern.
"Junior Brother Li, you really got the forbidden token. How did you do it?"
"Junior Brother Li, where is the demon cultivator named Jiao Hua?"
When they saw Li Yan directly took out the restriction token, they were happy at first, and then looked surprised. Li Yan had been away for only half an incense stick of time, and they had been discussing how to cooperate with Li Yan's actions later.
They thought that Li Yan had gone there to further gather information about Jiao Hua and would take action after returning, but now they saw that Li Yan had brought back the restriction token to everyone's surprise.
The result was simply unbelievable. No one knew what means Li Yan used. Although they were discussing the follow-up plans here, their attention was always on Li Yan, fearing that a fight would break out in the next moment.
Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Jiao Hua is no longer a threat. We'll talk about him later. Time is tight and I can't explain in detail. I wonder what you have learned about the two 'insiders'?"
After hearing this, although they had many questions in their minds, they all felt that Li Yan was right. If they stayed here any longer, something unexpected might happen.
Hu Xiaowang and the other two turned their eyes to Bai Rou. It was Bai Rou who had the last contact with the "insider" just now, because only Li Yan and Bai Rou knew most of the inside information here.
Although Bai Rou still had the image of a middle-aged woman at this moment, there was a hint of smartness flashing in her eyes occasionally, and she tidied the hair by her ears.
"It is basically confirmed that this person is one of the targets we are looking for. His name is Yu Yuanjun. Although your token was not in my hand just now, when I told him about the situation of his sect, his reaction was that he believed it about 70%. Although he did not admit it in person, he did not deny it either.
As for the other target, he had died while on a mission six days ago. After being severely injured by the monk from Fengliang Mountain, Jiao Hua activated the forbidden token, causing the disciple to lose his mind and explode his body, perishing together with the monk from Fengliang Mountain."
There were several parts in Bai Rou's words that only Li Yan could understand, such as when she mentioned the other party's "sect", which referred to "Luoshu Lake" rather than "Qingling Sect".
But as soon as Bai Rou finished speaking, Yan Feijun's regretful voice came out, "As an insider, the monks of Fengliang Mountain didn't know his existence. This man was beaten seriously injured, which was helpless, but in the end he died with his own people. This is really nonsense." He still thought that the two people who came to pick him up were the insiders. Li Yan's face was calm as usual, but he sneered in his heart, "It would be better if these two 'Luoshu Lake' disciples were dead. I wonder how many of our monks they killed."
But he nodded on the surface. He had already gotten the answer to the other person's death from the forbidden token, and it was just a final confirmation.
“Why do you say it is basically confirmed?”
"The other party was extremely cautious. At first, they just pretended not to understand. Even when I mentioned the 'sect', they were still confused. It was not until I told them the message they sent some time ago that they cooperated in answering questions about the other target. They agreed." Bai Rou said helplessly.
"We already have the corresponding appearances in the jade slips. This contact is just to let him know that we are friends, not enemies, and to prepare him mentally in case he refuses to cooperate and ends up making things worse.
We need to find an opportunity to let him see the token with his own eyes, and then there will be no problem at all. " Li Yan nodded.
The others also nodded. They could understand the caution and prudence of the "insider".
"Since the other person is dead and Yu Yuanjun is alive, we can proceed with our plan ahead of time. The next step is how to escape from 'Zhouyang Town'.
According to the information I have gathered, the gathering here is most likely in preparation for a major war, which is basically the same as our previous analysis.
What may change is that there are only four or five Jindan demon cultivators here now, but perhaps tomorrow a large number of Jindan demon cultivators, or even Yuanying demon cultivators, will appear here.
Therefore, our only chance to escape is tonight, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to leave later."
Li Yan changed the subject and did not dwell on confirming the identity. As he said, it was just to prepare the other party mentally and to determine the situation of the other target at the same time.
"Oh, there will be a large number of Jindan demon cultivators coming here tomorrow? This is really troublesome. Regardless of whether the news that Junior Brother Li received is true or not, we really have to leave tonight.
There are four or five Jindan demon cultivators in this town now. If any one of them shows up to stop us, we will be in great danger. It can be said that the result is certain death.
Now we have to find a reason to take the insider away without causing suspicion, which is very difficult. "After hearing this, King Hu Xiao looked serious.
"If we want to take this person away from here, Jiao Hua is the key." Yan Feijun also said.
Then he looked at Li Yan. Although Li Yan had just said that Jiao Hua no longer posed a threat, they still hoped to get some clear answers from Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded without hesitation and said, "Jiao Hua will not leave his room at least before dawn, unless someone comes directly to his door, which is still a possibility." Li Yan did not say that Jiao Hua who appeared again might be a dead body.
"Oh, if Jiao Hua doesn't show up, this is easy. I can call Yu Yuanjun over without attracting other people's attention. And even if I leave this courtyard later, I will have a reasonable reason."
Hearing that the situation was critical, Sun Guoshu suddenly volunteered, which was rare. After that, Sun Guoshu told the others his plan.
"Friend Sun, this plan is the most reliable way at the moment. So, we should act now without further delay."
After listening to Sun Guoshu's plan, several people felt that although there were loopholes, if Jiao Hua really could not show up, it would not be a bad plan. Li Yan immediately gave orders.
As a result, the restrictions of the formation in the room immediately dissipated, and Sun Guoshu walked out directly. Soon, Sun Guoshu came to the door of the room on the other side. He looked normal, and did not look at the monks on guard in the courtyard. He spoke loudly.
"Friend Yu, my master asked you to come over. There are some things that need your help."
In the other room, six people were sitting cross-legged. They were all injured and were taking the time to heal their wounds.
But among them there was a handsome young man in his twenties who would occasionally raise his eyelids and secretly look at the other five people. He was none other than the "Luoshu Lake" disciple - Yu Yuanjun.
The experiences in recent times made him feel as if he was in deep despair. Every day he hoped that someone from the family would come to rescue him and his younger brother. They went from being full of confidence at first, to being terrified later, and finally to being completely disheartened.
In just a month or so, Yu Yuanjun and his cousin began to become desperate. Monks from the Qingling Sect died around them almost every day, and no one knew who would be the next.
It was not until the death of his cousin six days ago that Yu Yuanjun completely lost hope, and the last spark of hope in his heart was extinguished.
He didn't know what was the point of sending out repeated calls for help every day. Perhaps this place was already far away from the South China Sea, and the distress messages he sent out could not be known to his clansmen at all. Or perhaps his family was also discovered by the evil cultivators and no longer existed.
What Yu Yuanjun could not accept the most was that the family might have given up on them long ago and would not have exposed the family's position for him and his cousin, and eventually go to war with the evil cultivators.
