Yuancheng Imperial Palace, in the temporary meeting hall.
The Profound Sages who repelled another wave of gu cultivator attacks gathered together, but the atmosphere... was a little dignified.
Although the Profound Sages in the meeting hall were not in a panic, almost all of them were injured, and their complexions were not very good-looking.
Although relying on the Yulu formation, they don't need to use the profound energy in their bodies.
But the miasma poison that had been lurking in them before gradually began to spread. If there is no effective antidote, their bodies will become weaker and weaker until they are no longer the opponents of those voodoo cultivators.
"Xianzun, how is the situation in Yulu Formation?"
At this time, a voice broke the silence in the meeting hall, and for a while, other Xuansheng also looked at Gu Liangqian.
That's right, what they are most worried about now is not the outbreak of miasma in their bodies, and the most important thing right now is the Yulu Formation.
If it really can't work this time, then they don't need to wait for the toxins in their bodies to erupt, because they probably won't survive until that day.
Facing the gazes of the Profound Sages, Gu Liangqian said: "Three Ninth-Rank Formation Masters are already researching it, and I believe the results will come out soon."
"Three?" A mysterious sage said with some doubts, "Now in Yuan City, there should be only two ninth-rank masters, Situ Zhi and Xue Yongqing. Could it be that Master Cheng is also here?"
After hearing this, Gu Liangqian shook his head, looked at Wan Hongbo and replied, "You also know this third ninth-rank formation mage, that is Master Jiang who detoxifies you."
"Master Jiang?" Wan Hongbo was obviously taken aback, "Isn't he a ninth-rank pharmacist? Why is he a ninth-rank formation mage again?"
"That's right, he is the ninth-rank pharmacist, and he is also the ninth-rank array mage."
Although the Profound Sage already knew about Jiang Beiran's attainment of the Ninth Grade in multiple profound arts, there were a few who didn't know about it. After all, Gu Liangqian never specifically mentioned this matter.
So when Gu Liangqian's answer was heard, there was a lot of discussion in the conference hall, talking about this grand master who was not only young, but also reached the ninth rank in two profound arts.
All of a sudden, the five characters "five monsters and three days" became a high-frequency vocabulary in everyone's mouth again.
"He's really a genius, to be able to reach the ninth rank in two profound arts, but why have I never heard of him before?" Wan Hongbo asked strangely.
Gu Liangqian smiled slightly after hearing this, and replied: "It's all thanks to Shi Tianjun's hiding."
Hearing Gu Liangqian's answer, the Profound Sages in the conference hall who didn't know Jiang Beiran's origin all looked at Shi Hongyun again.
Arching his hands towards Gu Liangqian, Shi Hongyun replied: "The old man didn't hide it, it's because this kid keeps a low profile, besides, he hasn't been my Shi family guest for long."
"He's your guest!?" Wan Hongbo raised his voice immediately.
"Yes, I take the position of Xianpai in my Shi family."
"Hey... You old boy is lucky." After speaking, he looked at Le Shi Hongyun with his eyes, as if he wanted to see from him what attracted such a genius.
You must know that it is not easy for these big sects to hire an eighth-rank profound art master, and ninth-rank is even rarer.
And why did his Shi family invite a double-ninth-rank master to be a guest minister, and he is still so young!
If there is nothing tricky among them, Wan Hongbo will never believe it. Although the Shi family is quite a senior family in Tongguo, it is much worse than the four major sects.
Therefore, it is impossible to win over such a wizard with favorable conditions. After all, if this genius joins the Shi family because of favorable conditions, he can go to the four major sects to make offers, and he will definitely get more than the Shi family.
Therefore, there must be some ulterior secret between the Shi family and this genius.
Following Wan Hongbo's words, the eyes of the other Profound Sages looking at Shi Hongyun also became strange, obviously curious about what method Shi Hongyun used to recruit this genius.
Shi Hongyun stroked his long beard with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care what other people thought.
It's just that Shi Hongyun thought about this problem more than once behind the scenes.
Although Jiang Beiran had many reasons to join their Shi family, with his current ability, Shi Hongyun felt that if he really didn't want to, he would never be able to keep him.
After all, relying on his own ability, he can easily find a Xuansheng who is stronger than him as a backer.
It's just that Jiang Beiran has been working very hard to help the Shi family earn benefits, which makes Shi Hongyun think that Jiang Beiran must have his own purpose. Since he doesn't say anything, then he doesn't ask, and it is good to continue to maintain a win-win situation.
"Then can he fix the Yulu Formation?"
After a short burst of curiosity, another Profound Sage brought the topic back. They don't have the time to gossip now, as their asses are on fire outside.
Although Gu Liangqian was not sure about this, but in order to encourage everyone, he nodded and said: "His attainments in formation techniques are no less than acupuncture. Don't worry, I believe he will definitely surprise us."
Following Gu Liangqian's words, everyone was indeed relieved.
After all, many Profound Sages were saved by him, and his ability can be said to be first-class to convince the public. No one will despise him because of his youth.
Well, since he can create this one miracle, it is very likely that he can create the second one.
Regardless of whether he can create or not, they can only count on him now.
"Alas..." At this moment, a Xuansheng let out a long sigh.
After listening, Gu Liangqian looked at him and said, "What's wrong with Master Yun?"
After hearing this, Yun Ruo shook his head, clasped his hands and replied, "It's just that I was a little emotional for a while. I never thought that we would expect a junior to survive in a crowd like us. It's really a trick of good fortune..."
Hearing Yun Ruo's words, the other Profound Sages were also silent.
That's right, they ran rampant in the six countries on weekdays, thinking that there would be no one or anything in the world that could threaten them, but this time they would lose so miserably and completely.
After a moment of silence, Yun Ruo suddenly got up and cupped his hands towards Shi Hongyun, "Please Tianjun convey my thanks to Master Jiang on my behalf, I'll go back to heal my wounds first."
Shi Hongyun nodded after listening: "The old man will definitely convey it."
Then several other Profound Sages also left one after another, and before they left, they also said the same thing as Yun Ruo to Shi Hongyun.
But hearing these words in Shi Hongyun's ears, it became that these people had already locked Jiang Beiran, and they would definitely use various means to dig them out.
'Oh, what a hassle. '
Shi Hongyun also felt a headache, and regretted it, no, he regretted not having a good relationship with Jiang Beiran before.
But Shi Hongyun felt that he couldn't be blamed for this. It was because the kid was too low-key, which gave him the illusion that he could handle him, but now it seemed that he was being handled.
…
At the city wall of Yuancheng, Jiang Beiran followed Situ Zhi and the others to check the nodes of the Yulu Formation.
Just walking, Jiang Beiran found some problems.
'Looks like someone is trying to sabotage...'
Although it was done very cryptically and the scene was restored, Jiang Beiran was sure that someone had sabotaged it, but the level of the saboteurs was not too high, and they didn't destroy it to the point at all, so the Yulu formation was safe and sound.
Well, it can't be said that it is safe and sound. The Yulu Formation went wrong so quickly, and it has something to do with this saboteur.
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to talk about it, a system prompt popped up.
[Option 1: Tell Situ Zhi and Xue Yongqing about the discovery that Yulu Formation was destroyed. Completion reward: Longlin Magic Book (Earth-level top-grade)]
[Option 2: Keep silent. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Um? '
"Um!!?"
'This option is so informative. '
Jiang Beiran glanced at the two behind him in astonishment.
'Could it be that these two thick eyebrows and big eyes betrayed human beings! ? '
'No no no. Jiang Beiran immediately shook his head, "If they really did it, the technique would definitely not be so rough. They even said that if they wanted to destroy the Yulu Formation, the Yulu Formation would have been cold by now." '
So it's not because they have bad intentions that I can't tell these two people about it, but because after they know about it, it may alarm the person with bad intentions...
'That's still a traitor! '
For a moment, Jiang Beiran scratched his head a little. Someone raped in Yuancheng? And he's the one who wants to drive everyone to their death.
After a moment of confusion, Jiang Beiran chose two.
Then he turned his head and said to Situ Zhi and the others: "I have already grasped the specific situation of Yulu Formation. When I go back and prepare overnight, I can repair it tomorrow."
"Little friend... are you really so sure?" Situ Zhi still couldn't help asking this nonsense.
"Don't worry, you two, I won't do anything uncertain in my life." After speaking, Jiang Beiran waved at the two of them, "Let's go first."
Looking at the back of Jiang Beiran leaving, Xue Yongqing looked at Situ Zhi and said, "Do you really want to leave it to him?"
Situ Zhi looked back at Xue Yongqing, "In short, I'm not absolutely sure, where is Master Xue?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Xue Yongqing also shook his head, "It seems that we have no other choice but to trust his talisman."
When checking the nodes of the Yulu Formation just now, Jiang Beiran told them the principle of how the Yaoshi Curse is used to fix the formation.
Although the two ninth-rank formation mages are highly accomplished in formation techniques, once the knowledge related to spells is mixed in, they will be a little confused, after all, they are separated like mountains.
But listening to Jiang Beiran's so plausible explanation, the two felt that it should be reliable.
Although it is a crime to do things based on feelings at this time, they have no other choice. If they are not absolutely sure to do it by themselves, they can only hand it over to another person who seems to be very sure.
Although helpless, this is also an impossible solution.
"I believe he can create more miracles." Situ Zhi said and turned to leave.
late at night.
Jiang Beiran, who returned to his temporary residence from Danfang, stretched.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep since he started researching the panacea to break the miasma. Today, he told several other ninth-rank pharmacists to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and then walked back.
As the capital of the entire Tong Kingdom, even if it is a temporary residence, it is very well decorated.
After Jiang Beiran returned to the room, he fell directly on the bed, and soon there was the sound of even breathing.
In the next second, a black shadow appeared in front of Jiang Beiran's bed. Without any warning or nonsense, he slapped Jiang Beiran's head with his palm!
"shock!"
"spirit!"
"Let's go!"
"Xulong Jue!"
…
Just when the slap was about to fall on Jiang Beiran's face, there were shouts from all over the room, and at the same time eight figures rushed out together.
The body was completely locked in an instant, and Yun Ruo, who couldn't move, stared wide-eyed. He didn't understand why there were so many mysterious saints lying in ambush here.
'Damn brat! '
Ruoyun, who knew he couldn't slap this palm, was just about to detonate the profound energy in his body when he felt a slap on his back.
"open!"
This palm disrupted Ruoyun's condensing profound energy in an instant, and just when Ruoyun was about to condense again, Jiang Bei suddenly stood up, and at the same time took out twenty-four black ant needles from the Qiankun Ring .
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Beiran had inserted all the twenty-four and black ant needles into the acupuncture points on Ruoyun's body.
"Okay, seniors, he can no longer gather his profound energy." Jiang Beiran put away the needle bag and said.
Hearing Jiang Beiran's words, the eight mysterious saints in the room dispersed their profound energy at the same time, and looked at Ruoyun solemnly.
"There really are such traitors among us." Cao Jinghua spat at Ruoyun, then looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "How do you know he's going to kill you?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran showed an inscrutable smile, and replied, "Because I just know."
As for why Jiang Beiran knew, it was naturally because of the system prompt.
In the morning, when he guessed through the system options that there was someone raped in Yuan City, he had been thinking about who it was, but because there were too few clues, he couldn't figure out why after much deliberation.
But just when he was going to go back to take a rest in the afternoon and let his mind go, the system option came.
[Option 1: Go directly back to the room to rest. Completion reward: Yuqing Lingjue (earth-level top-grade)]
[Option 2: Still stay in Danfang. Completion reward: Ultimate Sword Art (Earth-level Low-Rank)]
[Option 3: Get the help of practitioners in the Profound Sacred Realm, and catch the person who is plotting against you. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
This sudden choice made everyone in Jiangbei bewildered.
'Someone is going to kill me! ? '
Jiang Beiran has kept a low profile for so many years, and has rarely triggered this targeted option. Now, looking at the option 3, which is obviously aimed at him, Jiang Beiran is very painful.
'Sure enough, it's been too high-profile lately... No, it's caused a lot of murder. '
But Jiang Beiran couldn't help it. The system made him high-profile, so he couldn't pretend.
What a dilemma!
After choosing three, Jiang Beiran immediately began to think about the plan.
Since going back to the room to rest is the most dangerous, it means that person does not dare to attack him openly, so it is definitely the easiest to lure him out when he is alone.
In this way, how to seduce him is very simple, the rest is to find a few reliable helpers.
