As soon as Rong Zhiwei said these words, not only Yan Mingshu, who had just woken up, fell into shock and confusion, but even the Duxuan Sword Master, who was originally speaking harshly, was also slightly stunned.

Yan Mingshu felt as if he had missed a lot of important information while lying down. His head was filled with questions, and he couldn't help but ask: "Senior sister, what happened last night? What danger did you encounter, and why did you say I saved you?

Are you similar to Junior Sister? Isn’t Junior Sister—"

Seeing the master's face, Yan Mingshu had to swallow the countless unasked questions.

Mentioning the young apprentice who had been away for many years, Duxuan Sword Master's eyes changed slightly, as if he was caught in some bad memories. He frowned slightly and was silent for a while.

During his silence, the atmosphere became stagnant for a while.

Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu were both a little uneasy for a while.

For a long time after the junior sister was expelled from the Xuancang Sword Sect by the master, the master did not allow anyone to mention the junior sister in front of him.

It was not until some time ago that the master relented and asked them to get the little junior sister back. They should have calmed down, and Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu dared to mention the little junior sister again in front of the master.

But now it seems that Master still cares about the little junior sister...

Seeing that Master was a little lost in thought, Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu looked at each other. In the end, Rong Zhiwei hesitated for a moment and spoke first: "...Master?"

Duxuan Sword Master was called out, and his eyes became clear again, as if he remembered Rong Zhiwei's question, and his voice returned to coldness: "The person who saved you is the young disciple of the Bixiao Sect Master. This year's trial

First place in the competition."

He didn't explain much, just said this sentence.

Rong Zhiwei's eyes dimmed. If this is the case, then that person must not be the junior sister...

The junior sister is very talented in swordsmanship, but she has never shown any talent in alchemy. What's more, the junior sister has a water spirit root, which is not conducive to alchemy. How could she be the alchemy genius who won the first place in the trial competition?

?

The most important thing is that when the junior sister left the Xie family, all the meridians in her body were severed, and her cultivation level regressed to the Qi Refining stage, but the person last night was already at the golden elixir stage - from this point of view, it is even more impossible for the junior sister to be the same person.

.

Besides...the junior sister has always disliked her, so why would she come to save her?

Thinking about this, Rong Zhiwei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yan Mingshu, who was on the side, was listening to the conversation between his master and his sister, but he was completely out of the situation. He asked in shock and confusion: "Why did the young disciple of the Master Bixiao come to save us? Aren't we in the Immortal Alliance?"

His body was still stiff, and only his eyes could move. He looked around and felt that the furnishings in the room did not look like the Immortal Alliance. He fell into a new round of confusion: "Where are we?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Duxuan Sword Master looked disgusted and turned to ask his eldest disciple: "Did your junior brother get his head damaged when he fought against the Demon Lord?"

Rong Zhiwei looked complicated and said something for his junior brother: "Junior brother may have been injured too seriously and his resentment has entered his brain..."

Yan Mingshu: "??"

Finally, Rong Zhiwei explained the current situation to his junior brother: "We are now in Bixiao Danzong. Someone sneaked into the temple last night to kill us. I happened to wake up and saw the scene at that time, but I didn't wake up for too long.

After Master Bixiao's young apprentice knocked the man away, I fell into coma again, and I don't know what happened next."

Only then did Yan Mingshu catch up with his train of thought and realize the seriousness of the matter: "Master, was the assassin finally caught?"

"Caught," Duxuan Sword Master frowned slightly: "But that person is a disciple of Bixiao. After he was caught, he denied it and said that he had never done this before. He is still being interrogated."

Hearing this, Rong Zhiwei closed his eyes and affirmed: "It was planned by the Immortal Alliance."

Duxuan Sword Master's eyes instantly darkened. He knew that his great disciple had always been calm. If she had not been absolutely sure, she would never have said these words: "What exactly happened when you went to the Immortal Alliance to investigate? Let's start from the beginning.

.”

Rong Zhi coughed slightly, carefully recalled what happened a few days ago, and elaborated: "That day after we received the message from the sect, we went to Fufeng Pavilion and the Immortal Alliance.

There is indeed something wrong with the Magic Stone, so we proposed to go to the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance to investigate, and the Immortal Alliance agreed."

"In the first few days after arriving at the Xianmeng headquarters, the Xianmeng treated us with courtesy and kept taking us to the surrounding areas. However, when we asked about going to the Xianmeng headquarters to investigate, the Xianmeng elders always looked around.

Talk to him."

Having said this, Rong Zhi slightly turned his head and glanced at Yan Mingshu: "My junior brother and I realized that the Immortal Alliance was hiding something, so we pretended to indulge in fun and waited for the Immortal Alliance to relax their vigilance before sneaking in quietly.

Duxuan Sword Master nodded slightly: "What happens next?"

Yan Mingshu took over the conversation: "After infiltrating, we discovered some unusual things in the Immortal Alliance, but the Immortal Alliance seemed to be aware of it. Not only did it open a magic circle to isolate communications on the grounds of strengthening protection, but the next day, we followed

Our people have also been replaced by elders of the Immortal Alliance in the Mahayana stage, so we have no chance to report to the sect."

Rong Zhiwei said: "Since then, we have been dealing with the Immortal Alliance. As soon as the news came out that the Demon Lord massacred everyone in the Tianyang Sect, we used this as an excuse to go to the Tianyang Sect with the people of the Immortal Alliance."

Speaking of this, Rong Zhi slightly lowered his eyelashes: "We originally wanted to leave the Immortal Alliance's magic circle first, and then find a way to contact the sect - but now it seems that this is a bait for the Immortal Alliance to invite you into the urn."

Duxuan Sword Master realized something, his thin lips tightened, and there was a bit more murderous intent in his eyebrows: "So, it's not an accident that you were injured by the demon?"

Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu looked at each other, thinking of the scene at that time, their expressions turned ugly: "After we collided with the Demon Lord, the Immortal Alliance pushed us out to meet the enemy, but they themselves retreated hundreds of meters..."

Yan Mingshu realized something was wrong belatedly, and said confusedly: "Moreover, the Demon Lord did not go after the people of the Immortal Alliance, but only stared at the two of us and attacked. It is really strange - Master

!Where are you going?”

Duxuan Sword Master opened the door with a bang, suppressing anger in his voice: "Those people from the Immortal Alliance often come up with poisonous tricks, kill them for my master!"

Rong Zhiwei was very familiar with Master's temper, and was afraid that Master would really go to the Immortal League to kill him, so he quickly said: "Master, please calm down! There is one more thing that I haven't revealed yet -"

Duxuan Sword Master paused slightly, his brows filled with a chill like ice and snow: "What else is there?"

"We discovered something in the Immortal League," Rong Zhiwei said slowly, "Maybe it was because of that incident that the Immortal League wanted to kill us and silence us."

After hearing this, Duxuan Sword Master finally turned around.

"We found some... very strange people in the dungeon of the Immortal Alliance." Rong Zhi pursed his lips slightly and said, "Master, it may be true that the Immortal Alliance uses living people to make elixirs."

…

Half a day later, Duxuan Sword Master visited Master Bixiao with his two apprentices who had regained some energy.

The master of the Bixiao Sect received the Xuancang Sword Sect and his party in the Yuxiao Palace.

They first discussed the matter about the assassin last night, and then talked about the discovery of two Xuancang disciples in the Immortal Alliance.

Before talking about this, Master Duxuan Sword Master arranged a layer of soundproof barrier in the room. Sect Master Shen was confused: "Sir, this is..."

"The walls have ears."

Sword Master Duxuan always likes to go straight to the point: "Sect Master Shen, do you know of any elixirs that require the use of living people to refine them?"

Sect Master Shen muttered: "Anyone who uses living people as medicine is a forbidden technique of alchemy. There are many kinds of forbidden techniques. If you want to confirm which one it is, I'm afraid we need other clues."

Rong Zhiwei recalled: "The scene we saw was very strange. Those living people were indeed thrown into the flames, but when they came out, they seemed to be fine, but they were in a trance."

Sect Leader Shen: "Listening to this description, could it be that he is refining soul pills..."

Duxuan Sword Master asked: "What is a soul pill?"

"The strength of each person's soul is different. The stronger the soul, the stronger the spiritual consciousness." Zongzhu Shen said: "The talents of those who make alchemy are also related to the strength of the soul. Naturally, there are alchemists who are not willing to accept this.

Restricted by this, he came up with the method of refining soul pills to capture other people's souls for his own use, thereby enhancing his own talents."

When the Xuancang Sword Sect and others heard this, they all showed disdain.

Sect Master Shen also frowned slightly: "The person whose soul has been taken away is injured internally, ranging from being stupid to being stunned, or even having his soul scattered. This method is against the way of heaven."

According to the law, the alchemist who created the forbidden art of soul refining has already been punished by heaven and his soul has been scattered. Now, there are actually alchemists who are delving into this evil way..."

Everyone couldn't help but remain silent.

What's worse is that this incident didn't happen elsewhere, but in the dungeon of the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

How many sects in the Immortal Alliance know this?

How many sects are involved?

As a force jointly established by several sects in the world of cultivation, the influence of the Immortal League is evident. If all the sects of the Immortal League know about this matter and participate in it, then one can imagine what kind of danger the entire world of cultivation will be in.

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. The Xuancang elders looked at each other and said, "It seems that we must go to the Immortal Alliance."

"It's best to get there as soon as possible." One of the elders Xuancang frowned and said: "The two nephews have already alerted the Immortal Alliance. There is no guarantee that the Immortal Alliance will not quietly transfer evidence during this period."

Duxuan Sword Master nodded, his eyes slightly cold: "You two will stay in the Bixiao Alchemy Sect for now, and you and the elders will go to explore the Immortal Alliance."

Both Rong Zhiwei and Yan Mingshu should be like this.

After talking about the business, everyone could not help but talk elsewhere - mainly Elder Xuancang was chatting with the Bixiao Sect Master, while Sword Master Duxuan sat aside, holding the sword with a solemn expression and a serious expression on his face.

The elders of Xuancang were also helpless. The younger brother was not good at speaking, so they had no choice but to say a few words to the master of the Bixiao Sect to prevent the atmosphere from suddenly becoming awkward.

Since it was just a casual chat, it was inevitable that we would talk about our respective apprentices.

The elders Xuancang admired Bixiao Sect Master's young apprentice very much and praised him: "Thanks to your disciple for helping me with what happened last night. I heard that your disciple was the first in the trial competition. He is young but has great abilities." Such achievements will definitely lead to a bright future!”

Anyone who hears someone praising his disciple will feel happy, and Sect Master Shen is no exception. He smiled and said: "Elder Cen is too complimentary. My young disciple has only learned to make alchemy not long ago. He just made a second-grade perfect elixir some time ago. In the future, There is still a long way to go.”

The Xuancang elders were even more surprised: "Not long after refining the elixir, I was able to produce a second-grade perfect elixir - what a rare and good seedling!"

"And she is only in her twenties, but she has reached the golden elixir stage. In the world of cultivation, this talent is not ordinary!"

"Oh, it would be great if our Xuancang Sword Sect could also find such a good seedling. Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult to find children with excellent swordsmanship in recent years, and it is hard to find a genius!"

Even Sword Master Du Xuan couldn't help but look slightly sideways when he heard this.
