Only the creator of the secret realm can change its environment at will, so Feng Ci's words are not actually a question.
Fortunately, he was really worried about him just now.
This asshole.
Feng Ci gritted his lower teeth lightly.
On the other hand, Pei Qianyue's voice was still faint: "Unknown origin, unknown identity, shouldn't I try you?"
"Oh." Feng Ci sneered, "Then dare to ask the City Lord what did you try?"
Pei Qianyue: "You are not Lu Jingming."
Feng Ci shrugged: "Obviously."
Just now, in order to save Pei Qianyue, he used the deep spiritual power that a teenager shouldn't have.
In fact, Pei Qianyue should have had this guess in his heart back in Lingwu Mountain.
Taking Patriarch Qianqiu as the benchmark, how could the maze improved by Pei Qianyue be easily deciphered by two ordinary disciples of the immortal sect.
Otherwise, Pei Qianyue wouldn't have tempted him with his spiritual breath when they first met.
It's a pity that Feng Ci's cultivation level is much higher than his. Pei Qianyue didn't try anything, but he saw through his true body.
After that, Feng Ci broke the Wanfa Pavilion's instrument in the Xianmeng selection, and Pei Qianyue should be more suspicious of him.
Therefore, keeping him in Langfeng City is not an orphan of Tianxuanzong, let alone a so-called choice between two.
Pei Qianyue never believed his identity at all.
But in the final analysis, the reason why so many flaws were exposed was because Feng Ci didn't think about covering up his true identity at that time.
Later, it was too late to cover up.
Pei Qianyue said nothing.
Feng Ci waited for a moment, then asked: "... gone?"
Pei Qianyue: "No more."
Feng Ci laughed: "What kind of temptation are you doing?"
It took a lot of trouble, just to try to find out that he is not Lu Jingming
Pei Qianyue didn't answer again.
But it is true.
The level suppression of cultivators is extremely serious, and when their cultivation reaches a certain level, they can freely hide their aura, cultivation, and even their roots. Even when he rescued Pei Qianyue just now, Feng Ci didn't use all his strength.
Therefore, Pei Qianyue could only see that he had used spiritual power that "Lu Jingming" shouldn't have, but he couldn't find out the real strength of Feng Ci.
He didn't even know if Feng Ci had exerted all his strength.
To see through his identity, the present alone is not enough.
This is also the reason why Feng Ci cast the spell with confidence just now.
His identity, unless he does not take the initiative to disclose, otherwise no one else will know. At most, he can only be like Pei Qianyue and be sure that he is not himself.
But with Pei Qianyue's suspicious temperament, he can rest assured just knowing this
Feng Ci was curious: "You don't want to know who I am? How did you get into Lu Jingming's body? What's the purpose of getting into Langfeng City?"
"You didn't save me just now, you can get away by yourself." Pei Qianyue didn't answer directly, but asked again, "Why did you reveal your identity?"
Feng Ci thought to himself, this is not nonsense, after all, he is his own cub, how can he watch him die in front of his eyes
He's not such a beast.
Feng Ci sternly said: "It is not a gentleman's action to see death without saving him."
Pei Qianyue nodded: "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked deep into the corridor.
Feng Ci: "?"
This is the end
The narrow corridor was dark and damp, Feng Ci chased after him: "What do you mean, don't ask me any more questions?"
Pei Qianyue: "I asked, will you say it?"
Feng Ci: "No."
There was a moment of dead silence in the cave.
"Also... maybe." Feng Ci laughed dryly, trying to ease the atmosphere, "I can pick what I can say."
Pei Qianyue said: "I'm in prison, but you haven't done me any harm, that's enough."
Feng Ci paused.
It turned out that what he really wanted to try was this.
Pei Qianyue didn't care about Feng Ci's true identity at all, he just wanted to know whether Feng Ci was an enemy or a friend.
And now, he successfully tried it out.
Without revealing himself at all.
Feng Ci sighed in his heart.
Pei Qianyue tested him, so why didn't he want to test Pei Qianyue.
But the other party didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, he didn't even have a chance to test it.
The bastard is pretty smart.
Feng Ci was thinking about it, not long after, Pei Qianyue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
At the end of the corridor in the distance, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared.
"What's wrong?" Feng Ci asked him.
Pei Qianyue ignored him and walked forward.
Feng Ci: "..."
He really hates this kind of quiet person!
As Xu Shiren got older, he no longer tolerated loneliness as he used to. He always liked to find someone to chat with, talk about, and reminisce about his youthful past.
It's torture to stay with someone like Pei Qianyue who doesn't talk much.
Feng Ci thought angrily, and couldn't help but quicken his pace, jumping out of the corridor before Pei Qianyue.
But outside is not the forest just now.
Feng Ci originally thought that this secret realm was deliberately used by Pei Qianyue to test himself, and this tunnel should be the exit of the secret realm, but after coming out, he discovered that the end of this tunnel was actually connected to another cave.
The stone wall is crystal clear, the gurgling stream flows under the stone wall, and a few clusters of aquatic plants grow on the bank.
The fireflies flickered in the air, startled by the sound of footsteps, and flew into the distance.
This is a naturally formed secret realm.
The spiritual veins here should not have been discovered by anyone. The spiritual power is bright and pure. Just being in it, one can feel the exhaustion of the body swept away.
Feng Ci turned his head, and Pei Qianyue landed lightly behind him.
Most of this secret place has been tampered with, and there is no breath from the outside world, so even Feng Ci just didn't notice it.
Pei Qianyue went straight to the inside of the cave.
This secret place has a unique cave, with spiritual stones that can be mined on the top of the head, clear springs rich in spiritual energy under the feet, and even the light blue aquatic plants by the stream are spiritual herbs that can enhance cultivation or heal trauma.
Feng Ci followed Pei Qianyue and waded in.
When he reached the deepest part of the cave, he was stunned.
There were dozens of corpses lying there.
There are men and women, old and young, the only thing in common is that all the corpses are shriveled and emaciated.
—They all died of being drained of their spiritual energy.
Feng Ci frowned slightly, and then he heard Pei Qianyue say: "A disciple of the Impermanence Sect."
Another name that Feng Ci had never heard before.
In this era, there are too many cultivators and sects of cultivation. In addition to the six schools that formed the Xianmeng, and the 22 families that joined the Xianmeng later, there are more than a hundred sects, large and small, in addition to the Xianmeng, not to mention some casual cultivators who have no family or sect.
In Feng Ci's era, this was something that was unthinkable.
If there were so many immortal sects helping each other back then, maybe the battle between humans and demons would not be so devastating.
He will not be ordered by the way of heaven to take on the responsibility of saving the world.
Feng Ci's thoughts ran away a little, and then he pulled back to his eyes: "They... why are they here?"
Pei Qianyue said, "A few days ago, the head of the Wuchang Sect worried about harming himself and asked for my protection. I found this place to hide for him."
Feng Ci understood: "You also built that secret place outside to protect them?"
Pei Qianyue: "Yes."
It is indeed the safest way to hide people in the depths of the spiritual veins, and then create a brand new secret realm to hide them.
What's more, Pei Qianyue has just experienced the dangers of that secret realm. If this person hadn't taken action to terminate the secret realm, there would be many dangers waiting for them ahead.
But why...
Feng Ci asked, "You didn't know someone broke in beforehand?"
Pei Qianyue: "I don't know."
Feng Ci was horrified.
To sneak into a secret realm without the creator noticing, and kill people silently, how many people in this world can do this
There are people outside the people, and Feng Ci can't explain clearly.
But he only knew that unless he got back his body, even he wouldn't be sure to do it.
Who is the murderer
Besides, there was one more thing he couldn't figure out.
Feng Ci asked: "Nowadays there are hundreds of cultivation sects in the Central Plains. How could the Wuchang Sect know that they are about to be robbed and come to seek your protection?"
Pei Qianyue seemed to have expected that he would ask this question.
He waved his hand, and a row of pale gold words appeared in the void.
This is a list of various fairy sects.
"Five months ago, Langfeng City received a directory, which recorded the names of all the cultivation sects in the Central Plains today."
"The gate of impermanence ranks fourteenth among them."
Feng Ci looked over and found the name of Wuchangmen in it.
And above the gate of impermanence are Qingyangzong and Tianxuanzong.
Exactly the twelfth and thirteenth.
This murderer... actually foretells in advance the sect that will be wiped out.
Looking at the death list, Feng Ci lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Did you not spread this list?"
"Spread?" Pei Qianyue raised his hand to collect the list, and said, "Spread it out so that everyone in the world will panic? Or let some people who have enmity follow suit?"
Pei Qianyue's words are not without reason.
When they first received this list, most of Xianmeng didn't care. It was a step too late when more and more fairy sects were victimized and began to attract attention.
Up to now, everyone in the cultivation world is in danger because of these frequent disasters. Spreading the list at this time will only cause greater panic and will not help the situation.
It is indeed the safest way to protect the door of impermanence.
But the gate of impermanence was still destroyed.
Feng Ci thought for a while and asked, "Pei Qianyue, why do you think the murderer wanted to kill them?"
After being exposed by Pei Qianyue that he was not the original owner, Feng Ci didn't bother to be polite to him anymore, and called him by his name directly.
Pei Qianyue was silent for a moment, as if he had some objections to this, but he didn't say anything after all.
Pei Qianyue said: "Spiritual power."
"I thought so too before." Feng Ci nodded, "For some reason, this murderer needs a lot of spiritual power to cultivate, so he started massacring the cultivation sects."
"But I don't think so now."
"First, the murderer has such a high level of cultivation, he can come and go freely in your secret realm, as if entering the land of no one, so why would he attack such a small sect?"
So far, the victims are all small sects.
Naturally, the cultivation base of this kind of sect's disciples will not be very high, even if the disciples of the entire sect are sucked dry, most of the spiritual power they get will not be able to match any elder in the fairy alliance.
Not to mention that the murderer didn't even spare the young children who had just established the foundation, so how much spiritual power would there be
Feng Ci originally thought that the murderer's cultivation base was not high, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Since the murderer has the ability to break into Pei Qianyue's secret realm and kill people, why didn't he go directly to Langfeng City and kill Pei Qianyue, wouldn't it be quicker than killing ordinary immortals here
Of course, I dare not say the last sentence.
After hearing his analysis, Pei Qianyue said, "Maybe he doesn't want to provoke the Immortal League and cause trouble."
"Is this called not wanting to offend Xianmeng?" Feng Ci couldn't believe it, "He almost pointed at Xianmeng's nose and yelled, 'It's been so long and I haven't found any clues, what a bunch of trash'."
Pei Qianyue: "..."
Feng Ci coughed lightly: "I didn't mean to say that Xianmeng is trash."
"No, you're right." Pei Qianyue said calmly, "The Immortal League is indeed a bunch of trash."
Feng Ci was very afraid that Pei Qianyue would suddenly ask him that this trash word bag did not include him, the leader of the Immortal Alliance. Fortunately, Pei Qianyue didn't stick to this topic, but said: "Continue."
"Ah? Oh..." Feng Ci paused and said again, "The second thing... I can't figure it out, the murderer wants spiritual power, why doesn't he use this spiritual vein?"
This spiritual vein that Pei Qianyue used to hide for the Impermanence Gate was considered top-notch in the entire cultivation world.
As far as the group of disciples in this cave is concerned, except for the old man who looks like the master of the sect, the others are all young people.
The spiritual power sucked out is probably not as much as digging out the spiritual stones in this cave to cultivate by himself.
"Only killing people, not stealing treasures, he is really a principled murderer."
Feng Ci clapped his hands expressionlessly.
Pei Qianyue: "..."
Speaking of this, Feng Ci suddenly reacted: "Wait, you hide the person here, don't you also want to test what the murderer wants?"
Pei Qianyue was very straightforward: "Otherwise, why would I save Wuchangmen for no reason?"
Feng Ci: "..."
Every time Feng Ci wants to believe that his little black snake is not really crooked, he will always be hit hard by reality.
Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, no one really told you that if you continue to behave like this, your xinxing will only be affected more and more
This is more than a dozen human lives, is it something that can be used casually for testing
It's really not reassuring.
But Pei Qianyue obviously didn't care. In fact, since he saw the dead bodies all over the ground, he didn't even change his expression.
Pei Qianyue asked him, "So, what's your conclusion?"
"The conclusion is..." Feng Ci once again looked at the corpses of the Impermanence Sect disciples all over the floor, and lowered his eyes, "I'm afraid the real culprit didn't mean to be drunk."
Whether it was to inform Xianmeng of the murder list in advance, or to kill people from Pei Qianyue's secret realm, the murderer had only one purpose.
He is declaring the immortal alliance through these actions. He really has the ability to threaten the safety of the entire cultivation world by himself.
This is a threat and a provocation.
This is really... interesting.
When he first wanted to investigate this matter, Feng Ci wanted to find out whether it was related to the upcoming disaster, but now, the event itself has aroused his interest.
A person who dares to challenge the entire cultivation world, Feng Ci is really interested to see it.
***
Feng Ci and Pei Qianyue left the secret realm and returned to the original forest.
They tossed in the secret realm for most of the night, and when they came out, there was already a little light in the sky. The gray-blue sky was shrouded in mist, and it was as clear as washing.
Feng Ci yawned and was about to move forward, but Pei Qianyue was still standing there.
Suddenly, I had a bad premonition in my heart: "You won't... you don't plan to return to the sect, do you?"
"No." Pei Qianyue said, "Do you still want to follow me?"
These words were as polite as if he was asking Feng Ci what he planned to eat in the morning.
It's all here, can this still be called tracking
"How dare I do such a thing as stalking." Feng Ci smiled cheerfully and replied politely, "It just happened to be on the way with the city lord. By the way, where is the city lord planning to go next?"
Pei Qianyue lowered his head slightly.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Feng Ci felt that he smiled slightly, and the smile was so faint that it was blown away by the morning breeze almost instantly.
Pei Qianyue: "If you want to know, then follow me."
After finishing speaking, regardless of how Feng Ci would answer, he raised his hand and condensed a long sword with spiritual power.
Cultivators who have reached a certain level of cultivation can cultivate the realm of human and sword integration, condensing energy into a sword, and using this to defend against the enemy.
Feng Ci watched the long sword drawn by Pei Qianyue fall to his feet, and suddenly thought inadvertently that, as a demon, flying through the clouds and riding the fog was an extremely easy spell for him.
But why does he still use Langfeng City's Imperial Sword Technique
Even when the disciples of Langfeng City go down the mountain to perform tasks, they will choose to take the flying boat.
Only he is still choosing the most old-fashioned fencing technique.
For a moment, Feng Ci couldn't figure out why he cared about this matter, and didn't intend to continue to delve into such a boring question. Pei Qianyue mobilized his spiritual power, a vast white light glowed all over his body, and he was about to disappear into the shadow of a sword.
Feng Ci yelled: "The city lord wait for me—"
Then, take a leap.
A pure white sword shadow pierced the sky, and Feng Ci landed firmly on Pei Qianyue's immortal sword.
Pei Qianyue: "..."
He grabbed Pei Qianyue's arm to stand firm, raised his head and smiled at him, remembering that he might not be able to see, he said, "I'm too tired after tossing around all night, so why don't we go on the same road, the city lord, why don't you give me a ride?"
The old man didn't sleep all night, it was really exhausting.
But Pei Qianyue just smiled.
That smile is like the sunshine after the rain, and the ice and snow melt.
Then, Feng Ci felt a hand grabbing his back collar, and threw him out rudely.
