Chapter 326: Reality and Illusion

Behind Lu Chong, four people stood. These four people looked quite embarrassed. A strong man with a very rough appearance, but his face was a little gray, and the clothes on his body were a bit in disarray. Judging from the tattered clothes, especially the tiny red marks all over his exposed skin, it can be seen that I imagine he was someone who was often whipped and tortured by those demon cultivator disciples. Next to the strong man, there was a short and thin old man with a wretched appearance. However, although the clothes the old man wore were also shabby and his hair was unkempt, he looked like a beggar, but there were no scars on his body.

Next to the old man are a pair of middle-aged men who look quite similar. Judging from their circumstances, they should be a pair of brothers.

"Senior Wu, what a coincidence. Among these comrades, twelve are also fellow sects of our Tiandao Sect. However, they are disciples from the outer sea of ​​Haifeng Island. This brother Qin Tie is a close friend of this junior. The disciples on Haifeng Island all admired him. This Daoist fellow Xing Xiao was a well-known casual cultivator among the Qi Refining Stage monks on Xuanwu Island, the largest island outside Shenmu Island. . Thirteen comrades who have been doing this work with Daoist Xing all year round were also captured here. These two are Zhou Tong and Zhou Mingxian Kunzhong, and there are 12 other comrades who are also from the waters of Shenmu Island. Fellow fellow cultivators, these people are also more convinced of their brothers. Fellow Taoists, this senior Wu Yan is the senior master that Lu mentioned to you just now, and he can help us get out of trouble." Lu Chong turned sideways and looked in front of him. The four people introduced Wu Yan one by one. After that, he introduced Wu Yan to these four people.

However, Wu Yan found that the expressions of these four people were different, but they all had doubts and seemed to be a little disbelieving. He hesitated and bowed his hand to Wu Yan.

Wu Yan smiled indifferently and did not speak for the moment. Instead, he suddenly released his consciousness and deliberately scanned the four people one by one.

The expressions of the four people suddenly changed. They all knelt down on the ground in fear. One by one, they hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. The short and thin old man couldn't help but said: "The younger generation has eyesight but cannot recognize Mount Tai. The senior is actually at the stage of forming pills." The master, please help me, senior, to save this junior!"

As soon as the wretched, short and thin old man spoke, several others including Lu Chong were startled. Lu Chong had seen Wu Yan's methods before. Although he was in the Qi refining stage, he looked like a master in terms of various methods and knowledge. But according to his guess, Wu Yan was only an expert in the Foundation Establishment Stage at most. Who would have thought that this short and thin old man would be called a senior expert in the Core Formation Stage.

A strange look appeared on Wu Yan's face and he said: "Everyone, get up. Your name is Xing Xiao? How did you know that I have the cultivation level of the Danjie stage?"

The four of them stood up with anxious expressions. The wretched, short and thin old man said with a hint of flattery on his face: "Senior Wu, I had the honor to meet a man who was in the elixir formation stage in the past. Master, the spiritual cultivation that the senior showed is still fresh in the memory of this junior. The spiritual cultivation that Senior Wu just showed is even more advanced than that of the senior, so the junior boldly guesses that the senior is the knot. The master of Dan period.”

Wu Yan nodded suddenly and said: "You do have some knowledge. Yes, I am indeed in the realm of the pill formation stage, but some accidents happened not long ago, which caused my cultivation to be suppressed. I am not afraid to tell you. , I now plan to destroy all the demon cultivators on this dissociation island and occupy this island to restore their cultivation. However, the two brothers Ding Jie and Ding Li are not easy to get along with, so I need to use you to lure them one by one. Come here to kill. If you are willing, I will not only let you go freely, but I will even give you some sufficient benefits."

When everyone heard Wu Yan's words, their faces suddenly became excited and excited. This was said by a senior expert who was in the alchemy stage, so naturally they believed it deeply. Although this senior admitted frankly that his cultivation was suppressed due to some accidents that he refused to disclose, but which senior in the pill formation stage does not have a few powerful methods at his disposal? If you want to deal with the monks in the foundation building stage, it is not something that can be easily captured.

The short and thin old man Xing Xiao even guessed that this senior might really be in some inconveniences. If he took advantage of this opportunity to get to know such a senior, wouldn't it be possible that he would bring great fortune to himself in the future?

A rootless cultivator like him has nothing to rely on and can only make a living in this remote outer sea. Not only are the big sects looking down on him, but also some small sects and family forces that rely on the protection of the four major sects. Don't even bother to recruit them. If there is a chance to become a master in the alchemy stage, he might be able to change his identity as a casual cultivator in the future.

He didn't believe that monks like Wu Yan, who were in the alchemy stage, were just like them, and they were just casual cultivators.

He had this kind of thinking, and the Zhou brothers, who were born as casual cultivators, naturally had the same idea. Therefore, the four of them chose to follow Wu Yan's orders without hesitation.

Wu Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You must have been restrained by the blood evil in your body by the monks from Dissociation Island. I will take action later to suppress the blood evil restraint in your body for you. Unfortunately, I am now The magic weapons and talismans we brought are not enough, so we can only select some Qi Refining disciples with strong combat power and distribute one magic weapon, and those with weak combat power can only distribute some defensive talismans. "

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise, and a lot of their original doubts were eliminated at this time.

Under the call and selection of these four people, another twenty strong Qi Refining cultivators were selected. After Wu Yan suppressed the blood evil restriction for them, he distributed a low-level or mid-level magic weapon to each of them. Some other cultivators with weaker combat power were given two talismans after the blood evil restriction on their bodies was suppressed. One is a defensive talisman to save life, and the other is an attack talisman to attack the enemy. Fortunately, most of these cultivators are concentrated in the sixth to tenth levels of cultivation, and have also practiced some low-level spells with good power. When the time comes, as long as they have defensive talismans, they can also help.

Now it is still some time before dawn.

From Wang Gui and Chen Xu, Wu Yan has figured out the layout and number of manpower inside and outside the Jieli Island. There are a total of 23 demon cultivators on Jieli Island, and three of them are stationed at the port stone building of Jieli Island all year round, responsible for guarding and guarding the sea ships. There are twenty people on Jiefeng and Lifeng, and six of them died at Wu Yan's hands, which means that there are still fourteen people in the two peaks.

Among the twenty-three Qi Refining Demon Cultivators, nineteen of them are disciples of Ding Jie, and only four are disciples of Ding Li, and their cultivation levels do not seem to be high. Three of them are at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and one is at the sixth level of Qi Refining. They usually help Ding Li take care of the medicine garden he opened on Lifeng.

Jiefeng has always been forbidden to allow disciples from Lifeng to enter. Especially recently, after a small magic crystal vein was discovered underground in Jiefeng, even Ding Li from Lifeng was restricted from entering and leaving here.

It can be seen that Ding Jie does not seem to trust his fellow brother.

Ding Jie recently felt that his opportunity seemed to have come, and he wanted to retreat to condense the magic pill. In order not to affect the formation of the pill and the mining of the vein, he even chose the cave for retreat on Lifeng.

These news gave Wu Yan an opportunity. As long as the plan is thorough and the enemies are divided and annihilated, there is a great chance of success.

Wu Yan called the six temporary leaders, Lu Chong, Yi Qing, Qin Tie, Xing Xiao, Zhou Tong and Zhou Ming, to his side and assigned them tasks one by one according to his plan.

After a few moments, when these people heard Wu Yan's words, they all showed expressions of admiration and surprise on their faces. It seems that after listening to Wu Yan's plan, these six people have seen that as long as this senior can really fulfill his promise, there is great hope for escaping this time.

After arranging the tasks, Wu Yan left Qin Tie, Xing Xiao, Zhou Tong and Zhou Ming in the cave, and asked Lu Chong and Yi Qing to wait in the stone cave outside.

After closing the stone door, Wu Yan glanced at the four people, smiled slightly, and said: "You four, do you know why I left you alone?"

The four looked at each other, and Qin Tie was a simple and honest person. He showed a puzzled look on his face and shook his head. Xing Xiao and the Zhou brothers seemed to think of something, and looked at each other. Xing Xiao bowed and said: "Senior, do you want to ask about the things inside?"

As he said, he pointed to the depths of the stone cave.

The Zhou brothers also bowed and said: "Senior, as long as we can leave here, I dare not ask for anything else!"

"Oh, it turns out that you came here because you heard the rumor that there is a magic crystal mine under Jiefeng. Don't worry, I am the same, just want to leave here, I dare not ask for anything else!" Qin Tie nodded suddenly, and also bowed to Wu Yan to express his feelings.

It seems that this simple and honest guy thought Wu Yan came here specifically for the magic crystal mine. Wu Yan did not say anything, but nodded calmly and said: "Now tell me in detail what you know about this vein."

The four people saw Wu Yan asking questions, and they all wanted to show off, so they spoke one after another. Wu Yan frowned, waved his hand, and said: "Xing Xiao, you speak first."

Xing Xiao saw that Wu Yan specifically asked him to speak, and immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "Senior Wu is indeed a sharp-eyed person. He saw at a glance that I was the first batch of cultivators to be abducted here. When I was abducted to this island, the magic crystal vein had not been found under this Jiefeng. At that time, they originally wanted to take us to Black Wind Island. That Black Wind Island is a transit island for the Blood Demon Sect to sell slaves in this offshore. All the cultivators captured in this area will be sold there, and then they will be transported to the sea boundary line on the hurricane ship magic weapon that can fly in the air to become spirit slaves to build the sea boundary fortifications. If it weren't for the appearance of Senior Wu, I'm afraid we would have been spirit slaves for the rest of our lives."
