…
His words were intermittent and he would gasp for breath from time to time … It was very uncomfortable to watch and listen to him. It took a while for them to understand what he meant.
However, this also explained Song Lian's current state to a certain extent.
"Quick, send him to the Elders' Hall …"
Song Lian had returned from the outside world alone and had risked his life to pass through the island's protective array. Now that he was in such a hurry to meet the Elders, there must be something very important. The guard commander immediately ordered.
Following which, a few young guards quickly lifted Song Lian up and rushed towards the Elder's Palace in the Penglai Secret Realm ….
At this time, the advantage of strength was shown. Even though the Penglai Secret Realm was relatively primitive with trees everywhere, it could not stop the footsteps of these people. They were much faster than a car!
Especially the commander, he hesitated for a moment and simply said, "You guys stay here and watch …" Then, he quickly chased after the people in front.
Song Lian had returned alone, something big must have happened. He was also very curious …
"What do you think happened?"
"There were four people who went out, why did only Song Lian come back?
What about the other three … "
"Senior Brother Song Lian's strength is also very powerful. Junior Uncle Xiahou is a Quasi-Martial Emperor expert and is even stronger than our Commander Cui … Although there are only four people in this team, their overall strength is extremely terrifying!"
"I've heard that the spiritual energy in the outside world is extremely thin. It's impossible to cultivate any powerful experts. They definitely won't be in any life-threatening danger. Perhaps … they found some extremely precious treasure, or something terrible happened!"
"Otherwise, Senior Brother Song Lian would not be so anxious and nervous to go to the Elders' Hall …"
"Sigh, what a pity. If we didn't have to stay here to guard this altar, I would also want to go and see what happened …"
Song Lian had left, but the people who stayed behind were discussing and making all kinds of guesses … Even Qin Fang, who was hiding and eavesdropping, could not help but wipe away his sweat.
To be honest, some people's guesses were actually very close to the truth!
If it weren't for the fact that only Qin Fang and Song Lian knew about it, he would have thought that his plan had been leaked!
"It's a pity that they are all insignificant characters. I can't be bothered to make a move …"
These people were all experts of the Peng Lai Secret Realm. The strongest among them was already a half-step Martial Emperor. They were not much weaker than Song Lian. They were very powerful young experts. The rest of them were Primes and half-step Martial Emperors.
Such a small team of less than six players possessed frightening strength. In the outside world, they could easily wipe out the entire Underground World. Most likely, only superpowers with Legacy Artifacts would barely be able to put up a fight against them.
However, they were all very powerful, and their numbers were not small. If they worked together, they would not be afraid of an Immortal Artifact.
However, at this moment, in Qin Fang's eyes, they were just like cats and dogs. He didn't put them in his eyes at all. Qin Fang didn't even have the intention to touch them …
They had only just entered the Peng Lai Secret Realm.
Qin Fang's first priority was to figure out the terrain here and then find a suitable hiding place. Only when all these were settled, Qin Fang would slowly look for an opportunity to start.
Of course, during this process, Song Lian also shouldered a very important task. He had to deceive the elders of the Peng Lai Secret Realm so that they would not have time to deal with other things. Naturally, they would not target Qin Fang so quickly.
As for whether Song Lian could be trusted …
"The protective island's array is really strange. It can even breed Substitute Evil Spirits …" Qin Fang naturally had his reasons. He could only silently mutter to himself. He would not say it out loud.
Substitute Evil Spirits were also a rare spiritual body. Moreover, unlike the Mirage Demon, its strength was very terrifying. It was not that its attack power was terrifying, but it had a special ability.
Substitute!
Just this word alone didn't mean anything … But, when it was combined with the word 'Evil Spirit', it represented an extremely evil and terrifying spirit body.
The reason was very simple. Substitute Evil Spirits had a very powerful ability … Substitute.
It was not a simple substitute in disguise. Instead, in the form of a spiritual body, it forcibly rushed into the brain or primordial spirit of the controlled person and expelled the person's original soul or primordial spirit. Then, it could control such a body and complete its purpose of taking over the body.
Song Lian's current situation was actually a sign that he was being targeted by the Evil Spirit. His energy and Yuan Qi had been completely depleted, and the power of his Yuan Spirit was almost completely depleted. Song Lian looked rather unwell and weak.
This was the reason. It was devouring Song Lian's energy, primordial spirit, and primordial spirit. Then, it mixed these forces together and turned them into an even more terrifying evil force. Then, Song Lian became like this.
Song Lian himself did not know …
However, after hearing Song Lian's description, Qin Fang was already suspicious. He immediately carried out a comprehensive examination, search, and investigation of Song Lian. Naturally, he also dug out the Substitute Evil Spirit.
However, Qin Fang did not tell Song Lian. Instead, he watched silently …
The Substitute Evil Spirit was not like others. Once it possessed someone's body or primordial spirit, it would not be willing to come out. Unless it was willing to leave, no one could separate from it.
Of course, the best way to deal with the Substitute Evil Spirit was to be on guard at all times and not give the Substitute Evil Spirit the slightest chance. The other way was to slowly induce the Substitute Evil Spirit to come out on its own.
As for directly killing the possessed Evil Spirit and leaving nothing behind, in fact, it did not make much sense. The Substitute Evil Spirit was a spiritual body. It was not limited by body size. In theory, it could turn into anything, which was very similar to the Mirage Demon.
Of course, if it was really compared to the Mirage Demon, the Mirage Demon was dozens of streets ahead of it …
The main reason was that it was too difficult to deal with. After possessing someone, it was difficult to get rid of them. Qin Fang did not tell Song Lian. Instead, he silently thought of a way.
What about Song Lian?
The Substitute Evil Spirit had just possessed Song Lian. It had not begun to madly devour Qin Fang's primordial spirit. Naturally, the threat was reduced a lot. Moreover, this kind of devouring was very subtle. Unless one paid close attention, it would be difficult to discover it.
Let Song Lian go to the Elders' Hall …
In addition to letting him fool and delay those old guys, it also gave Qin Fang a more relaxed environment to search in the Penglai Secret Realm. Most of the masters who reformed the Penglai Secret Realm, except for the few who were normally on duty, had hidden themselves.
Of course, these elders of the Penglai Secret Realm did not lack some powerful characters. Perhaps someone had discovered that Song Lian had been possessed by the Substitute Evil Spirit?
Qin Fang hid himself quite well. Moreover, he came in with Song Lian. However, everyone's target was focused on him. Even he rushed over, but the enemy did not know anything.
As for killing …
"It's not time yet …"
Qin Fang also muttered to himself.
This was something that must be concealed. There was absolutely no room for error. It was no wonder that Qin Fang was so calm. Although the task was very important, it was not short of time.
…
The Elders' Hall.
The Elders' Hall was the highest level of notice in the entire Penglai Secret Realm. It was a round table formed by thirteen people. Basically, only the top family heads of the major forces were qualified to enter.
Once they ascended to this position, the power in their hands would be much greater.
If they did not control it well, who knew what would happen in the end … Even if these people were powerful and had great power, they could still persuade others to issue some strange tasks.
Of course, this was not the main point this time …
Because this time, Song Lian, who had been sent to the outside world, had risked his life to come back alone and brought back some important information … This kind of information, regardless of whether it was true or not, was worthy of their attention.
Therefore, when the news of Song Lian's return spread in the Penglai Secret Realm, several great elders also came one after another … Soon, there were many people in the Elders' Hall.
"Song Lian, what on earth happened?"
"Why did you become like this?
And … where is Xiahou? "
After almost everyone had gathered, seeing Song Lian's half-dead appearance, someone immediately asked while gnashing his teeth. Compared to the middle-aged Xia Hou who possessed tyrannical strength, Song Lian was clearly not worth mentioning.
"Martial Uncle Xiahou and the others … they … they were killed!"
Song Lian's face was extremely pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
This act naturally had to be more realistic. Only then would it be possible to fool those elders who had extremely good eyesight. It was to make them believe that … although the external environment had changed a lot, the various equipment had improved by a few hundred times.
Especially the team they had sent out this time. A Quasi-Martial Emperor leading three Half-Step Martial Emperors. The numbers were not too many, but the quality was extraordinarily high … The Penglai Secret Realm was also full of confidence. However, they did not expect to end up in such a state. Even the Quasi-Martial Emperor expert Xiahou had died there!
"What happened?
Tell me … tell me in detail! "
Hearing that Xiahou and the others had been killed, these elders all stood up and exclaimed in shock. One of them even shouted through gritted teeth … Looking at his expression, one could tell that he was closely related to those people who had died.
