Of course, although he was extremely worried that Lin Xingtang and Lin Qing would ask Sect Master Xue Yuyang for confirmation, in the current situation, in order to avoid suspicion, he could only take one step at a time. After all, he was 80% sure that Xue Yuyang's soul had been completely destroyed by now!
And more importantly, he had no choice but to say so. He had to find an excuse for his skyrocketing cultivation!
It was already a risky behavior for him to rashly show such a powerful strength, but the two people in front of him did not have any doubts. Instead, he felt a little surprised.
At this moment, the reaction of Lin Xingtang and Lin Qing made Luo Xiu not as worried as before. More importantly, he was fully prepared at this moment. In addition, the situation of the forbidden area in the back mountain could be said to be clear at a glance, which made Luo Xiu even more confident. In other words, no matter how Lin Xingtang and Lin Qing would react to Luo Xiu's words, Luo Xiu had a way to cover up his lie.
"Good boy, you've hidden your strength too well. Judging from the cultivation you displayed before, you're definitely not someone who has just advanced to the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm. It's been a while, right?
Looking at the strength of your Divine Soul, you have now touched the level of Three Corpses!
Your cultivation has reached the peak of Almighty Immortal, right? When did this happen? No wonder you were mysterious for a period of time. It turns out that the Sect Master gave you special treatment!
Not bad!
Not bad!
This time, if you hadn't hidden a trick, maybe my father and I would have been successfully ambushed by these rascals!
Well, let's not talk about this. We will talk about it in detail when we have time. Now, let's go and see how the Sect Master and the Supreme Elders are doing now. Alas, I was against the Sect Master and the Supreme Elders taking such a risk to refine this extremely evil Acquired Spiritual Treasure, but they didn't listen to my advice. I didn't have any good ideas. Look, isn't this a problem? "
Shaking his head, Lin Xingtang said with a wry smile. Then he looked at the blood-red long sail floating above his head. At this moment, the blood-red long sail was erupting with an astonishing monstrous Evil Qi, which was so evil that it made people feel frightened.
Hearing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He secretly rejoiced that he had fooled Lin Xingtang for the time being. Of course, Luo Xiu also understood that Lin Xingtang was implying something at this moment, but it was not good for him to refute anything at this time. Moreover, he was an impostor, of course, it was even more inappropriate for him to say anything at this time. He could only smile shyly and act very calm.
At the same time, he felt a burning gaze looking at him. Luo Xiu turned his head and saw Lin Qing looking at him with a burning gaze. Her face was flushed, and he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Even though he had never had a woman, he knew what a woman's expression meant. He couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he was somewhat looking forward to it. Of course, through the memories obtained from the Soul Search, Luo Xiu now understood that if he didn't want his identity to be suspected, it meant that his virginity, which had been preserved for many years, might really be gone forever.
Fortunately, Lin Qing's appearance, figure, and temperament didn't make Luo Xiu feel uncomfortable. Besides, during this period of time with her, he felt incomparably relaxed. More importantly, Luo Xiu was also looking forward to some things that might happen, which was why he didn't have too much resistance.
"Father-in-law, let's go check on Sect Leader and the rest first. From what happened just now, it's not hard to tell that the sect has been thoroughly infiltrated. I reckon that what happened here has already spread throughout the entire northwest region. If we don't make a decision soon, our Qiankun Sect might face even more severe internal and external troubles. When that time comes, if we don't handle it properly, the tens of thousands of people in the Qiankun Sect will really fall into a state of eternal damnation!
Father-in-law, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. At this time, the Sect is already in chaos. If we don't stabilize the situation in time and the other major forces learn about what happened here, they will really send experts to take advantage of us and we will really have no chance! "
As the two of them walked forward, Luo Xiu held Lin Qing's hand and looked at Lin Qingtang. He couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly.
From his point of view, Luo Xiu's words weren't wrong at all. More importantly, it wasn't hard to tell from Lin Xingtang's attitude that this person actually had his own ideas. Although his ideas might be different from Luo Xiu's, Luo Xiu could easily make use of this point to achieve what he wanted to do. After this period of serious consideration and investigation, Luo Xiu was certain that his previous plan had basically succeeded. Whether he could completely control the authority of the Qiankun Sect would depend on his next move.
However, for the time being, he wasn't worried about this. At this moment, Luo Xiu was standing behind Lin Xingtang and watching him busy. Due to the array formation in the forbidden area, the three of them were somewhat helpless. Even if no one was controlling the array formation, they couldn't get close to the place where Xue Yuyang and the rest were in seclusion. Not only was there an endless array formation protecting the place, but there was also an extremely dense baleful aura above the array formation, causing Lin Xingtang's expression to turn ugly.
"I really don't know what the Sect Master and the rest are thinking. With such a tight defense, they still allowed the Acquired Spiritual Treasure to escape and bring disaster to the entire Sect. Sigh!
The matter this time is really troublesome! "
The corner of Luo Xiu's mouth twitched when he saw the scene in front of him. He complained helplessly.
As he spoke, Luo Xiu had already circled around the blood-colored array formation. Facing the evil array formation before him, he shook his head helplessly. He was also helpless in this situation. However, there was no other way. The people lying around in the square were all important figures of the Qiankun Sect. Even if he had other plans in mind, he didn't dare to reveal them. Therefore, he appeared extremely calm and looked at Lin Xingtang with a conflicted expression, waiting for him to come up with a solution.
"Don't look at the Old Man. The Old Man doesn't have any good ideas either. Under such circumstances, we can only try to forcefully open the array formation here. However, I don't know if the array formation artifact that the Sect Master gave me will work!" Lin Xingtang explained helplessly after hearing Luo Xiu's words.
"Father-in-law, there's not much time left. We'd better act as soon as possible. Whether it succeeds or not, we'll have to try it first. However, the Sect Master should have made some preparations. After all, I've solemnly reminded them before to pay attention to their safety. Now that they've made it seem like I'm scheming against them, even I feel a little embarrassed!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly. Of course, he knew what Lin Xingtang meant.
However, there was no other way. In order to clarify his relationship with Lin Xingtang, Luo Xiu had to say this first, because he was very clear that Lin Xingtang, who was in front of him, was definitely suspicious of him. At the very least, the Postcelestial Spirit Treasure that he brought back, in Lin Xingtang's eyes, should have some other thoughts. In the eyes of Lin Qingtang, who had lived for who knows how many years and was proficient in internal strife, it was absolutely impossible for Luo Xiu to not have any intentions at all.
Of course, Lin Xingtang's suspicions towards Luo Xiu was only because he had directly brought the Postcelestial Spirit Treasure back at the right time. As for the rest, Lin Xingtang did not reveal it. He was very clear that his son-in-law probably did not expect things to develop to such an extent.
Most importantly, the Sect Leader and the few Grand Elders had been too conceited and had underestimated the difficulty of refining the Acquired Spiritual Treasure. This had caused the situation to spiral out of control and land in such an awkward situation. At this moment, Lin Xingtang was looking at Luo Xue with eyes full of sympathy. Even though he did not know why he had to look at Luo Xue in such a way, he knew that this was the only way he could deal with the current situation.
However, Lin Xingtang did not realize how much pressure his gaze brought to Luo Xiu. More importantly, at this moment, Luo Xiu himself was a little guilty. It was not difficult to see from various situations that Luo Xiu was not as natural as before. Now, Luo Xiu only had one thought in his mind, which was to deceive Lin Xingtang as soon as possible, and then solve the problem of his identity as soon as possible.
"Alas, it's really an eventful period. If I had not watched you grow up, I would have suspected that you brought back such a treasure with Evil Spirit. Did you do it on purpose? Did you have other purposes?
Sure enough, the Taoist Art of Heaven and Earth could not suppress the endless Evil Spirit in this blood-red sail. The Sect Master and the others are still dragging things out. Fortunately, the Sect Master gave me the key to lift the restriction formation here before he went into closed-door training! "Seeing Luo Xiu looking at him, Lin Xingtang also smiled helplessly.
Then, without waiting for Luo Xiu to speak, Lin Xingtang took out a palm-sized jade talisman. The surface of the jade talisman was greyish black. The entire jade talisman was palm-sized and irregular in shape. The jade talisman was covered with dense formation runes. The moment Lin Xingtang poured power into the jade talisman, the jade talisman's aura suddenly skyrocketed. An extremely strange rune chain shot out from the jade talisman and directly shot toward the blood-red light!
The instant the rune chains struck the blood red light barrier, a majestic and vast energy instantly cleansed the surrounding space, pressing down on the formation from all directions. Endless yuan qi was mobilized by the rune chains, and as time passed, the endless yuan qi that enveloped the formation seemed to be compressed to the extreme. The violent energy was like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme, instantly exploding. The violent energy drowned Luo Xiu and the other two in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Luo Xiu was already prepared. A giant tortoise shell directly blocked in front of the three of them, blocking the impact of the energy, and also neutralizing the violent torrent of energy brought about by the forceful shredding of the formation!
However, even though Luo Xiu was prepared for it, he still vomited blood from the impact of the violent energy. The terrifying destructive power that erupted from the energy made him feel that he was unable to withstand it. With his strength, the release of such violent energy almost instantly destroyed all of his defenses. If it wasn't for the fact that the tortoise shell that he took out was somewhat special, Luo Xiu would have already been in the midst of this terrifying energy torrent. Protecting himself would have been a problem, let alone protecting Lin Qing.
As the terrifying energy of the explosion spread in all directions, it stirred up the void around the forbidden area in the back mountain. Even the sky and earth seemed to be incomparably calm amidst this thunderous explosion!
This sudden and terrifying explosion attracted the attention of some people from the Qiankun Sect. However, due to the cover of the blood-colored sail, no one discovered the area where Luo Xiu and the other two were at.
At this moment, Luo Xiu was speechless. He didn't even know how to describe the scene before him. If it was before, Luo Xiu might have felt that it was a little unbelievable that the array formation was broken and the energy flow was triggered. However, at this moment, just this instantaneous explosion of energy gave him an incomparably terrifying shock. This was especially intense for Luo Xiu.
"Phew!
How terrifying!
I almost couldn't take it just now!
Didn't they say that this was the key to opening the array formation?
How could there be such a terrifying scene? I didn't expect this at all! "
Luo Xiu exhaled slowly. His voice was filled with fear as he spoke. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xingtang and the other two beside him. Seeing that the two of them were fine, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, he looked ahead in a daze.
There was no other way. After the chaotic situation caused by the energy torrent in front of him had calmed down, Luo Xiu looked over and saw that there was nothing in the array. The corpses of the few Supreme Elders and Sect Master from before had disappeared without a trace. This made Luo Xiu stunned for a moment. Soon after, he turned around and looked at Lin Xingtang, who was also stunned. The two of them looked at each other for a long time before Luo Xiu opened his mouth and asked with uncertainty, "Father-in-law, w-what's going on?
Where are Sect Leader and the others?
Where did they go? "
He couldn't help but be shocked. When he had looked down from the sky, he had clearly seen Xue Yuyang and the others inside the Spirit Array. Although they were all pale, they were still alive. Why was it that after the Spirit Array was broken, not only had their auras disappeared, even their corpses had disappeared without a trace? Could it be that what they had seen before had been a reflection of the Spirit Array? Had they really been hallucinating?
