At the same time, the force that imprisoned Frost Lianzhou on the other side suddenly disappeared. Frost Lianzhou staggered and fell directly to the ground.
This was also the reason why Li Yan deliberately ignored him and gave him a slight punishment.
But Shuang Lianzhou didn't care that he had already hit his forehead, and just looked up in a daze at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the darkness.
Ming Ling also thought she had heard wrongly, so she stopped crying and looked at Li Yan with tears on her face.
For a moment, the only sound in the quiet night sky was the heavy breathing of these three people.
"Senior, you are saying that you don't need the 'Divine Blessing Technique'?"
Shuang Chongshan was the head of the family after all, and he was the first to react.
He asked with an uncertain tone, and he didn't even realize that his voice had become extremely hoarse.
"Why? Your Duye clan's 'divine magic' is very powerful? Do you have to give it to Zhang?"
Li Yan chuckled. If the other party had any magic or body cultivation techniques, or a mid-grade or higher-level pill recipe, he would definitely ask for it to take a look.
However, the art of refining weapons was dispensable to him. What he had learned was already diverse enough, and he did not have enough energy to practice the art of mechanical puppetry. He only learned the basics from Bai Rou.
“Oh… Oh… No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. My family heirlooms are only treasured by myself and those low-level cultivators. How can they catch your eye? No, no, no!”
It was not until this moment that Shuang Chongshan regained his consciousness. He quickly recalled everything that had just happened in his mind and felt that everything was like a dream.
But after the other party showed up, he just asked questions from beginning to end and did not ask for the "divine technique".
"But... But, is it just because Ling'er is a human that the other party came to her rescue? Is there no other reason for that?"
Shuang Chongshan felt that what happened should not be like this, but apart from the "divine magic", he had nothing valuable on him that was worthy of others' rescue.
"Could this person be an evil cultivator? Some evil cultivators particularly like to eat unborn fetuses raw, or use the essence and blood of pregnant women to refine vicious magic weapons..."
All kinds of distracting thoughts came to his mind at once, and Shuang Chongshan became more and more scared the more he thought about it.
He couldn't figure out the other person's psychology, and having just come back from death, he began to have wild thoughts for a while without realizing it.
On the other side, Shuang Lianzhou and Ming Ling had already turned over and bowed, with surprise on their faces.
"Thank you very much for saving my life, Senior. I wonder if you can tell me your name. As I said before, I will set up a longevity tablet for you, which will be passed down from generation to generation, and we will burn incense and kowtow to you every day!"
As he spoke, he prostrated himself three times. Li Yan was surprised to see that the other party even said that he wanted to set up an immortality tablet for him.
"Just looking at that thing makes me feel cold. Even though you mean well, I don't want to see my name engraved on the tablet!"
He looked again at Shuang Chongshan who seemed lost in thought.
“Okay, let’s leave it at that. It’s not easy to meet fellow cultivators in the Lost Continent, so it’s just a coincidence that I can help.
Now there are two paths for you to choose. One is to say goodbye here. Whether you live or die in the future depends entirely on your own luck.
Another way is that you can follow me back to the sect and live under the protection of the sect from now on without having to hide anymore.
Regarding this point, I can say clearly that I value your puppetry skills. Our sect is also a sect that refines pills and weapons, and we really need cultivators like you.
As for the inherited skills of your lineage, the sect will never take them away by force. I can guarantee this. You just need to help the sect refine the mechanical puppets according to your own wishes.
Please think about what I have said. I have another important matter to attend to in fifty breaths."
Shuang Chongshan was still lost in his thoughts when he heard the other party's words. He was stunned and seemed to understand the other party's intention.
For a moment, he even forgot to continue asking Li Yan's name.
"He really took action because Mingling is a human being!!"
He didn't expect that he would meet a monk with good intentions.
“However, there is also a selfish motive behind this. The point is that he wants us to go to his sect. Is he testing me
If we don’t obey, they will turn hostile and kill us. This really gives us two options.”
The other party gave him time to think. Although Shuang Chongshan had already made up his mind, he still didn't want the other party to see it. He showed hesitation on his face as if he was thinking, and then he asked.
"Senior, may I ask what sect your clan belongs to?"
"Falling Star Valley!! I am the elder of the sect!"
Li Yan said lightly.
"So it's 'Falling Star Valley', that's really a sect that refines pills and weapons!"
Shuang Chongshan muttered to himself, as if he was thinking about it, but soon he raised his head.
"Senior, I... I... I still want to..."
At this point, his eyes became somewhat evasive.
Li Yan nodded. He came over only because he saw a pregnant human woman.
Of course, if Shuang Chongshan and the other two were unforgivable criminals, he would not show up at all. If they died, they died. He would not even care about the fetus in their belly.
From what happened later, he did indeed value the other party's puppetry skills, which was why he invited him. Since the other party was unwilling, he was not willing to force it.
"That's it!"
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the figure under the night sky turned from real to virtual and quickly blended into the darkness.
Then, the two storage bags on the corpse underground also flew up into the air. However, the next moment, something fell to the ground, and Li Yan's voice was heard from afar in the night sky again.
"This is your puppet!"
Before he left, he took away the storage bags of the two monks surnamed Ma without hesitation. Although he was now in the Golden Core Realm, he was still used to taking away the storage bags of those he had killed.
With just a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he saw the "Three-legged Green Luan" that had escaped with Ming Ling in the storage bag, and immediately threw it out.
He could sense that it was connected to a rich essence and blood, and when he thought about some of the descriptions he had heard before, he knew that it must be Shuang Lianzhou's life-long magic weapon.
Since he had done a good thing, he should do it to the end. Li Yan did not want to forcibly seize it and damage the other party's cultivation.
Before, in order to send Ming Ling away, Shuang Lianzhou had no better flying treasure, so he had to use his own magic weapon to send her away.
But it was soon caught up by a monk named Gao. Without the control of its master, the attack power of the "Three-legged Green Luan" was greatly reduced.
In addition, the cultivator surnamed Gao was much stronger than the cultivator Shuang Lianzhou, so the "Three-legged Green Luan" was knocked down and imprisoned by the cultivator surnamed Gao.
But he thought that this was a mid-level puppet, so he controlled the attack force very well and did not damage it.
Therefore, Shuang Lianzhou was not seriously injured by the backlash and escaped the disaster.
Just after Li Yan left, Shuang Lianzhou and Ming Ling hurried to their father's side, and they supported the old man from both sides.
Shuang Chongshan was seriously injured in this battle, with both internal and external injuries, and the residual poison was not yet completely eliminated. Fortunately, due to his high level of cultivation, he managed to hold on and not pass out.
"Dad, under the current circumstances, we can't stay in the market anymore!
Just now, why didn't you agree with the senior? The reputation of 'Falling Star Valley' is still good, and it has been very popular in recent years.
In addition, Ling'er is also a human cultivator, and this senior has great righteousness in his heart. We have nowhere to go now, and it will not be easy to find a suitable place! ! "
Shuang Lianzhou looked towards the place where Li Yan's voice disappeared, his face showing excitement.
He rolled up the spiritual power in his other hand and brought his natal magic weapon into his hand. Sensing that the magic weapon was intact, he felt even more grateful to Li Yan.
"Well, let's leave here first and find a secluded place to recover from the injury first."
Shuang Chongshan did not answer his son's question. His top priority was to recover first.
At the same time, I have many questions in my mind that need to be sorted out one by one, but I dare not speak of them here.
That person's cultivation is too high. No matter if he walks far away or spying in secret, if he accidentally says something he shouldn't, disaster may befall him immediately.
In Shuang Chongshan's heart, he was not sure whether the other party had really left. The gap between his cultivation level and the other party's was too great, and his spiritual sense could not sense the other party's existence.
"Is he really gone? I heard that the Star Moth looked like an old man, and Tian Xingzi and Lin Xinghe have been in seclusion for many years. This man's appearance does not match that of the Star Moth. It is very likely that he is the newly promoted Elder Zhang."
At the same time, he was speculating about the other party's origins in his mind, because Shuang Chongshan often went out in the market.
Not only is it for purchasing goods for the shop, but also for frequently inquiring about the surrounding situation and being prepared for danger.
Therefore, he knew something about the sect like "Falling Star Valley", but with his realm, it was impossible for him to see the other side's Jindan cultivators.
But based on some information he had previously obtained, he soon came up with his own speculations.
He gently pushed away the two people's support and slowly walked to the headless giant red tiger. He felt a pang of regret in his heart. This magic weapon had been with him for a long time and he had already developed feelings for it.
Although it was not his natal magic weapon, it consumed a lot of precious materials and took six years to refine.
If he had not been poisoned, he could have killed the two evil villains just by manipulating this magic weapon without any help from others.
Now, due to his own fault, the magic weapon that had accompanied him all the way was almost completely destroyed.
After Shuang Chongshan sensed it, he sighed softly, and the spirit of the "Red Lotus Golden Tiger" in the puppet had dissipated.
But he still found the tiger head in the distance, and then put the remains of the giant red tiger into the storage bag.
"Let's go!"
He turned around and signaled to Shuang Lianzhou to release the "Three-legged Blue Luan". Seeing that his father did not answer his question, Shuang Lianzhou did not dare to disobey and ask again.
He could only keep his previous thoughts in mind, sighed in his heart, took out the "Three-legged Green Luan", and then the three of them stepped on it.
He is a man devoted to Taoism, and has always wanted to find a quiet and safe place where he can refine puppets without worries. This is the kind of practice he wants.
It is said that there are four Jindan cultivators in charge of the "Falling Star Valley", but he is not very clear about the specific situation. A lot of information was told to him by Shuang Chongshan.
Therefore, Shuang Lianzhou could not guess which person in the "Falling Star Valley" this young man in green robe was.
It was not until after flying hundreds of miles that Shuang Chongshan finally relaxed completely.
"That person really didn't intend to kill the three of us!"
The other party hasn't shown up yet, so there's no need to worry anymore. There's no point in following them, so soul searching is faster and more reliable.
His worry was that the long years of being on the run had made him suspicious of everything.
But at this moment, Li Yan was already thousands of miles away from them.
He just did this casually, after all, his spiritual sense revealed that a pregnant human cultivator was facing death.
As Li Yan values family affection so much, he certainly wouldn't allow anyone to torture and kill a pregnant woman.
What's more, those two foreign monks were not worthy of his attention at all. He could kill them easily with just a breath. Li Yan could do as he pleased.
After this incident, Li Yan thought of the distant village again. He felt depressed for a moment and didn't want to delay on the road.
Finally, on the third night after leaving the "Holy Demon City", I returned to the "Falling Star Valley".
When he returned to the sect, the sky was already full of stars, so Li Yan did not disturb the Star Moth.
After activating the elder token, he went straight back to his cave and waited until the next day to inquire about the details of the Star Moth.
But just about a cup of tea after he returned to the "Starry Cave", Li Yan in the cave suddenly showed a look of surprise.
