Chapter 71 Fighting the Cicada King!
After hearing what the ancestor said, the Confucian scholar nodded and asked solemnly:

"First of all, is the power of this Blood Spirit Technique really that great? What level can Niece Ruyan and the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect reach after practicing it?"

Having said this, Xuan Ye paused for a moment, then raised his second finger and said, "Second, is it true that Jiang and Cheqi were occupied by the Six Sects of the Demonic Path?"

The ancestor of the Yan family listened to the Confucian scholar's question and couldn't help showing a hint of approval on his face, and then nodded:

"The Blood Spirit Technique is the first magic skill in the Ten Thousand Spirits Sutra. After practicing it, one can dominate the six sects of the magic path. Ruyan has a natural spiritual root, which is the dual cultivation method that the other party has always dreamed of."

At this point, a hint of complacency flashed across the face of the Yan family ancestor, and he said: "With their top-notch qualifications, they will definitely be able to cultivate to a very deep level in the future. This is why the Ghost Spirit Sect is willing to do anything to win us over."

"As for Jiang State and Cheqi State, the people that my Yan family had planted have long ceased to make any moves. I think what the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect said is true!"

Following the Yan family ancestor's clear and logical analysis, all the Yan family disciples below were shocked and stunned.

"In that case."

The scholar murmured, then slowly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "This time it concerns the prosperity and survival of our Yan family. If we make the wrong choice, we will be doomed forever."

"Now that the demonic sect is strong, the seven sects are on good terms with us on the surface, but secretly they are worried that our Yan family will take further steps and threaten their interests, so they have been suppressing the Yan family in recent years."

At this point, the scholar sneered: "Even if we choose the seven sects and disclose the invasion of the demon sect, I am afraid we will not get any benefit. After all, the interests of Yue State have long been divided up by the seven sects, so how can they give the benefits to our Yan family?"

"According to you, joining the Ghost Spirit Sect is the best choice for us?"

The ancestor of the Yan family narrowed his eyes, looked at the Confucian scholar, and spoke.

The scholar nodded slightly, and then spoke freely: "The Demonic Path is now in its golden period of expanding its power. After joining the Yan Family, we can also openly expand our power."

"As long as we wait until our Yan family is strong enough to be on equal footing with the other party, the other party will naturally not be able to swallow us up. If our strength exceeds that of the other party by then, we may even let the Ghost Spirit Sect take on the Yan family name."

I have to say that this Confucian scholar is truly worthy of being the think tank of the Yan family.

More than a hundred years after the original novel, the Yan family produced several Nascent Soul cultivators. However, the tragic death of Wang Tiangu and other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect led to the entire Ghost Spirit Sect being controlled by the Yan family.

……

In the inn, a voice called out from outside.

"Guests in the inn, please listen, the treasure hunt competition to be held tomorrow will be divided into two groups."

"The monks of our country will hold the competition on the mountain west of Yanjiabao, while the monks of other countries will hold the competition on the mountain east of Yanjiabao. Please attend on time tomorrow morning. Those who are late will be deemed to have automatically forfeited the competition."

This voice was repeated three times outside the inn before the person seemed to leave.

After listening to the shouting outside the inn.

Chen Yun touched his chin and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that just like the original plot, the Yan family still intends to join the Ghost Spirit Sect and take action against the disciples of the seven sects.

In the original novel, Han Li escaped by chance, but was chased by Wang Chan.

The two fought each other and both ended up suffering losses.

Now that Chen Yun is here, it will naturally not be the same as in the original book.

“I wonder if the Yan family will be able to smoothly return to the Ghost Spirit Sect if Wang Chan is killed.”

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Chen Yun's eyes, and he silently said in his heart: "What the Ghost Spirit Sect wants is Yan Ruyan, who has a natural spiritual root, to practice the Blood Spirit Technique with Wang Chan. But if Wang Chan dies, will the Ghost Spirit Sect still use the Yan family?"

Xin Ruyin in his arms slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Yun, and said in a tender voice: "Husband, go to bed early, there is a treasure hunt tomorrow."

Listening to Xin Ruyin's words, Chen Yun smiled, gently stroked Xin Ruyin's hair, and nodded slightly.

at the same time.

On the mountain peak west of Yanjiabao, a dozen green-robed men from the Guiling Sect were busy in the mountains, burying things on the ground from time to time.

Wang Chan and the two Jindan cultivators rose into the air, gazing coldly at the ground below.

"How is it? This temporary Yin Fire Formation has been weakened so much, can it still be effective?"

Wang Chan suddenly asked.

"Don't worry, Young Sect Master. It will be a problem. Although it is just a temporary formation, it can still be used to trap the enemy with our brothers in charge."

The old man from the Li brothers coughed lightly and said tremblingly, "But if there are cultivators in the late foundation building period or possessing powerful magical instruments in the formation, it's hard to say."

Hearing this, Wang Chan was no longer worried. He chuckled and said, "Then I am relieved. The Twelve Ghost Guards are there to catch any fish that slipped through the net."

After hearing this, the Li brothers thought there was nothing wrong and stopped talking.

In fact, if it weren't for the need to preserve the souls and spirits of these monks intact.

If his two brothers took action directly and killed some of the foundation-building monks, it would be a trivial matter. Why would they need to go through so much trouble?
The next day was dawn.

The disciples of the seven sects arrived at the small hill in the west early.

A huge magic formation had already risen there, and in the formation there were two middle-aged men wearing Yan family clothes, meditating with their eyes closed.

On a high platform behind the magic circle, a dozen Yan family members, hidden by thick fog, were standing there discussing something.

At the same time, Chen Yun came with two girls.

However, the cautious Chen Yun would naturally not step into the formation, but stand under an ancient tree outside the formation.

"Take a closer look at this formation."

Chen Yun glanced at Xin Ruyin beside him and asked.

Xin Ruyin frowned slightly, stared at the formation in front of her, and fell into deep thought.

"what?"

After a few breaths, Xin Ruyin suddenly let out a light exclamation, then quickly raised her head and looked at Chen Yun.

Chen Yun detected a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

Xin Ruyin was very cautious, her lips moved slightly, and she transmitted the message directly:

"Although I don't know the name of this formation, it is obviously not a defensive formation, but a very fierce formation."

"Husband, you must be careful."

Chen Yun nodded slightly and chuckled, "I know it in my heart."

Then he led the two women and stood under an old tree, and a few feet ahead was the palm technique that was set up there.

At the same time, a Ghost Guard immediately ran to Wang Chan's side, bowed and saluted, saying:
"Young Master, the two elders said that there are three monks who are too far away from the formation. After activating the formation, they cannot confine them. Young Master, please find a way to lure them closer."

The young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect was somewhat stunned and frowned secretly.

This situation was a little beyond his expectations. Logically speaking, the restricted range of this temporarily set up Yin Fire Array was already quite large, but there were still people who were not within this range. This was a bit strange.

Thinking of this, Wang Chan raised his head and looked forward, and indeed, he found that there were three people outside the control range of the magic circle.

A man in white shirt, leading two women, was watching everything on the mountain calmly.

"That's the three of them."

Wang Chan muttered to himself thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he whispered a few words to the Ghost Spirit Sect monk beside him.

All I heard was the subordinate nodding his head in response.

Then the Ghost Spirit Sect monk, wearing the Yan family's clothing, walked out of the platform and the mist, and stood not far from the magic circle, and began to shout loudly:

"All guests who come to participate in the conference have come to draw lots and register. After the number of people is counted, the treasure hunt conference will officially begin."

This shout immediately attracted the attention of other cultivators, and they involuntarily moved closer to the magic circle. Seeing this scene, Wang Chan couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth under the mask.

But when his gaze turned to the west where Chen Yun was, the hint of sneer that had just appeared on his lips immediately froze.

Chen Yun did not move at all, and had no intention of going forward to draw lots to sign up. He watched with interest as the monks gradually gathered together.

"Let the two elders take action, and I will take care of these three people."

Wang Chan spoke calmly, with a faint bloody color in his eyes. He then looked at the two Ghost Guards and said, "Follow me next."

Chen Yun's cultivation is at the middle stage of foundation building. Even Wang Chan would not attack alone without thinking. Instead, he would bring two ghost guards at the middle stage of foundation building with him. This way, there would be no risk of failure.

And that cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building could also have a great time.

"It's the young master!"

The several Ghost Guards behind him shuddered and answered respectfully.

As all the monks signed up, a blood-red light curtain quickly enveloped everyone.

Chen Yun and the two girls happened to be standing outside the formation, several feet away from the blood-colored formation light curtain.

The sudden appearance of the blood-red light curtain quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh no! They are from the Ghost Spirit Sect!"

"The Yan family is colluding with the Ghost Spirit Sect?"

……

As screams were heard, disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect flew down from the high platform one after another.

Seeing that the Ghost Spirit Sect was exposed, Chen Yun subconsciously looked at Wang Chan who was wearing a silver mask not far away.

He saw that his eyes were red and he was staring at him. His body was instantly surrounded by a blood mist and he pounced towards Chen Yun.

Behind Wang Chan, there are two Ghost Guards in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

"No, this is a trap."

Dong Xuan'er only then realized what was happening and let out a cry of surprise.

Chen Yun looked calm. He waved his right hand lightly and the Liuyun Shuttle quickly appeared in front of him.

Then he hugged the two women with his arms, jumped lightly, and landed on the Liuyun Shuttle.

"call out!"

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the Liuyun Shuttle turned into a stream of light and quickly rushed away into the distance.

The Liuyun Shuttle is a top-grade flying magic weapon with an extremely fast flying speed.

Even Wang Chan couldn't catch up for a while.

"what?"

Looking at Chen Yun speeding away, Wang Chan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect there is such a precious flying magic weapon."

Speaking of this, a hint of greed flashed in Wang Chan's eyes.

At this time, Wang Chan was in the sky dozens of feet high, standing facing the wind with his feet on a giant fork several feet long. The fork was emerald green in color and there was a layer of black gas lingering around it.

Two Ghost Spirit Guards in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment followed closely behind.

However, it is obvious that the escape techniques of these two Ghost Guards in the middle stage of foundation building are far inferior to those of Wang Chan.

"Young Master of the Ghost Spirit Sect!"

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Wang Chan who was chasing him, and chuckled, "I advise you to retreat into the formation and don't lose your life."

"Hahaha, someone actually dares to talk to me like that!"

Wang Chan listened to Chen Yun's words and burst into laughter, with a hint of madness in his voice.

"I will definitely skin you alive and tear out your tendons. You!"

After saying this, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect suddenly spun on the fork, and in an instant a thick, bright red mist as red as blood emerged from his body.

Then it turned into a blood cloud more than ten feet high, sweeping towards Chen Yun with great momentum.

"Haha, kid, you don't know yet, my Blood Spirit's escape technique is extremely fast, you can't escape at all"

Wang Chan laughed wildly and chased after Chen Yun.

However, as the two continued to fly away, to Wang Chan's surprise, Chen Yun was getting farther and farther away from them.

In the blink of an eye, it reached hundreds of feet away.

"how is this possible?"

Wang Chan widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

Although he knew that Chen Yun's flying magic weapon was no ordinary item, he never expected it to be so powerful.

Even his own Blood Spirit Escape Technique couldn't catch up.

"As long as I kill it, this magic weapon will be mine."

Wang Chan suddenly let out several shrieks that reached the sky. Along with the sky-shattering whistles, blood clouds suddenly swelled up and covered the sky in a blink of an eye.

Then Wang Chan suddenly raised his right hand and directly grasped the green fork magic weapon under his feet in his hand.

The surging spiritual power continued to flow into the magic weapon.

It emits a dazzling green light.

"call out!"

With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the green light grew from small to large and quickly rushed towards Chen Yun.

Feeling the sound of breaking air coming from behind him, Chen Yun waved his sleeves.

The Yin-Yang Thunder Bone Sword quickly flew out of the storage bag, and the two magic swords, one red and one blue, flew towards the Green Fork magic weapon like two dragons.

The two combined are enough to rival top-level magical weapons.

"Boom!"

The three magical weapons collided heavily with each other, followed by a sharp roar.

The green fork released several strands of black air on the tip of the fork without showing any weakness, and in the blink of an eye, it entangled the two thunder bone swords inside it, making it unable to move at all.

"Stab, stab!"

What followed was a series of sharp corrosion sounds, and then a faint white mist spread out from the Thunder Bone Sword.

"How dare a mere ordinary top-level magic weapon resist the Yinhun Silk on my Biyin Fork!"

Seeing the Thunder Bone Sword being destroyed, a hint of complacency flashed in Wang Chan's eyes, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes when he looked at Chen Yun.

Seeing Wang Chan's smug look, Chen Yun revealed a barely perceptible smile.

The range of the spiritual awareness of a Jindan cultivator is extremely wide.

If Chen Yun wanted to kill Wang Chan, he would naturally have to stay away from the pair of Jindan stage brothers. His purpose of showing weakness was to lure the enemy deeper.
