As the night grew darker, Li Yan was still sitting in front of the window. He repeatedly thought about the murderer's method of committing the crime, and filtered through his mind all the people present during the day and everything they said. , but there are still several key points that cannot be clarified.
It’s not that Li Yan is keen on other people’s affairs, but he has some admiration for the killing method. This is what he has always expected to use. Until a certain level, he never wants to fight with others head-on. He would only use force to resist under certain circumstances, such as when his own ability is too much stronger than his opponent's, or when he needs to boost his morale in a multi-person battle. Li Yan prefers to kill people invisible and defeat the enemy with cleverness, so he is very interested in today's matter, which is as important to him as cultivation.
Just as Li Yanzheng was thinking, his eyes suddenly flashed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Someone is out again." Although the protective array restriction in the room was not activated, his consciousness continued to spread. Spread out to cover the courtyard. He knew that there were formations in some places outside the courtyard, so his spiritual consciousness did not leave the courtyard. Although he did not know whether Xuanqing Temple had all the formations activated, he did not want his spiritual consciousness to come into contact with him. Later, the restriction on it was triggered, and trouble would arise if someone discovered it.
The hunchbacked old man in Li Yan's consciousness turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the room. The next moment, he appeared under the big tree in the courtyard. His figure was extremely blurry, almost invisible under the moonlight. To blend in with the big tree behind him, the hunchbacked old man first glanced at Li Yan's room with a vague consciousness. Li Yan was sitting in the room with an uneasy look on his face, looking like he was deep in thought. , but that ray of consciousness immediately paused the moment it entered Li Yan's room.
The hunchbacked old man was also stunned. He did not expect that any protective formations in Li Yan's room were not activated. This was like a transparent person in the consciousness of the immortal cultivator. Seeing Li Yan's contemplative look, the hunchbacked old man couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous in his heart: "At first, I thought I had met a master, but I didn't expect him to be such an idiot. I thought this boy must be a disciple of some major sect who ran out to practice privately, and there was no one around him. An elder followed him, so reckless and unprepared. Now that he was in trouble, he obviously regretted it. Maybe he had some magic weapon given by the elder to protect himself and save his life, so the aura fluctuations seemed very mysterious. As for knowing the young master. There are many ancient books in the sect about what I said, and it is normal for there to be fragmentary records occasionally."
Thinking of this, he withdrew his consciousness, and the next moment he looked solemn, and carefully transferred his consciousness. He looked towards the other side - the two rooms where the two men in black robes lived.
What the hunchbacked old man didn't know was that his every move was shrouded in Li Yan's consciousness. Li Yan couldn't help but smile softly when he saw the hunchbacked old man withdrawing his consciousness and focusing on the other two rooms in the courtyard. He didn't care about him. When he raised his head, he saw the lotus pond diagonally facing the window. Qin Chengyi picked up the wine bottle and drank. After taking a sip, when he put down the wine bottle, the other party happened to see Li Yan looking up. Across the lotus pond, he actually raised the wine bottle in his hand to Li Yan, but he seemed to be thinking about something and was absent-minded.The raised arm actually paused in the air.
Li Yan nodded distantly when he saw this. But at this moment, Li Yan's expression changed, and a shrill scream suddenly sounded. This scream seemed to cut through the sky in the silent night sky. In all directions, hearing it in the middle of the night was a bit creepy. What changed Li Yan's face was not the misery of the scream, but the fact that the scream did not come from the courtyard where his consciousness was shrouded, but from the courtyard next door.
Li Yan's spiritual consciousness spread instantly. Just when his spiritual consciousness came out of the courtyard wall, he felt that a figure had disappeared into the distance. Li Yan hesitated for a moment, but did not continue to follow his spiritual consciousness. In his consciousness, the man was obviously very familiar with this place, and his route was also strange. He was obviously avoiding something. Li Yan was still wary of the formation here.
The screams were extremely harsh in the night. The hunchbacked old man under the tree had just reached one of the rooms where the black-robed man lived. Although there was a protective formation in the room, he tried to avoid it. After alerting the other party, he wanted to see if he could detect something about the other party with his own magic power. The sudden screams frightened him so much that he almost lost his mind. His consciousness almost hit the formation directly, and cold sweat oozed from his body. In a flash, he did not go towards the place where the scream came from, but went directly to the outside of the house where he and the young master lived, and entered the room in a flash.
After the purple-shirted young man in the room screamed, his expression also changed. As soon as he stood up, he felt a cold wind in front of him, and his eyes blurred, and a figure stood in front of him. before.
"What's going on, Uncle Sang?" The purple-shirted young man's face tightened. When he saw who was coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly.
"I don't know, the scream came from the courtyard next to it, and it almost exposed me." Uncle Sang replied, and then continued, "Fortunately, I controlled it in time with my spiritual detection. I think those two No one has noticed it. Now we go out to take a look. Such movement and staying in the room will arouse suspicion."
The young man in purple said worriedly, "What happened again?" In doubt, he agreed with the words of the old man with a hunchback. The old man with a hunchback did not answer and turned around again and walked out of the room. How did he know what happened.
When the young man in purple shirt opened the door, he saw Li Yan walking into the courtyard hesitantly. Seeing the young man in purple shirt and the old man with a hunchback coming out, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief on his face. These expressions fell on The two of them could see Li Yan's worry in their eyes.
The hunchbacked old man said to himself, "I still see less wind and waves, so I am afraid."
The young man in purple shirt held his hand to Li Yanyi, "Fellow Taoist, do you know what happened?" "What's the matter?"
Li Yan quickly returned the greeting and said nervously, "I don't know. I was thinking about something in the room when I suddenly heard someone calling and came out. The sound sounded like the courtyard next door. "Send it out."
The young man in purple shirt nodded when he heard the words. He also heard the sound coming from next door. He looked around, but he didn't see the two men in black robes. He couldn't helpAfter glancing at the hunchbacked old man, the hunchbacked old man shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.
Although the young man in purple robes was surprised that this sound had been heard for a while, even if there was a formation to isolate the sound, with the vigilance of the monks, the two men in black robes should have known it for a long time.
The hunchbacked old man and the young man in purple shirt looked at each other, and their spiritual consciousness was quietly released. After a while, both of them withdrew their spiritual consciousness. No one was found in their spiritual consciousness. This is because they are also worried about this place. With his formation, he did not dare to put his consciousness too far, but only slightly left the courtyard.

At this time, there were many piercing sounds in the air, far or near. After Li Yan and the three people in the courtyard looked at each other, they also walked towards the courtyard door.
At this moment, the two men in black robes were even more angry. After they left the courtyard earlier, they thought about it. I wanted to try first whether the magic weapon in my hand was effective in breaking the Xuanqing Observation Formation. If it was confirmed that it could be done, I would go back to work. I would have gone smoothly, but just after leaving the courtyard for more than 200 feet, there was a loud voice behind me. The two of them secretly screamed with fearful and shrill screams.
Although they don’t know what happened, the Taoist temple will soon be filled with monks. The two of them were so anxious that they didn’t even dare to release their consciousness. They hurriedly spread out their body skills and flew back quickly, but just before When they were still five or six feet away from the courtyard where they lived, they suddenly heard a loud shout, "You thief, don't try to run away." As he spoke, seven or eight figures were shooting at the two of them, and there were more dangerous figures in the distance from all directions. The sound of space keeps getting closer.
The expressions of the two men in black robes changed drastically, and their figures slowed down. After a while, they immediately stopped and stood directly on the spot. Their expressions gradually returned to calmness, but their hearts were filled with shock and anger. I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't move at this time, otherwise there would be a big battle immediately.
Just as they stopped, the seven or eight figures also shot out and landed directly in front of the two of them. It was Kong Nantai and several disciples. At this time, Kong Nantai There was a hint of chill in his face. After what happened during the day, the head brother arranged to continue on duty tonight. But just when he patrolled not far from here, he heard the screams here, and his face changed. He rushed here with all his strength. As he approached the screaming place, two figures appeared in his consciousness and passed quickly in the night. He immediately shouted, and the two figures stopped immediately.
It’s not that Kong Nantai’s spiritual consciousness has a small coverage area. He is a foundation-building monk and hundreds of miles is not a problem. It’s because after the formation in Xuanqing Temple was activated, many places have been isolated Knowledge, this is not only true for the enemy, but also for the Taoist priests of Xuanqingguan.
After Kong Nantai saw the two people under the moon clearly, he couldn't help but said in a cold voice, "Two fellow Taoists, where do you want to go this late at night?" As he spoke, he stared at the two black-robed men. However, he suddenly raised his hand and waved forward. Two disciples immediately appeared behind him and shot directly at the place where the screams were coming.
When the two men in black robes saw Kong Nantai asking questions, although they complained in their hearts, they had no choice but to answer. The older black manThe man in the robe cupped his hands, "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Kong. My two brothers were bored by what happened during the day, so they wanted to come out and walk along the lotus pond to relieve their boredom. But as soon as they walked about a hundred feet away, they heard a voice behind them and immediately went to this place. I came here to see what happened, but before I even got there, I met fellow Taoist Kong."
Just as the man in black robe was speaking, one of the two disciples who had passed by was already in a hurry. He rushed back and shouted loudly, "Uncle Kong, something has happened. Uncle Song has been killed."
Although everyone here had been badly prepared, when they heard the disciple shouting After drinking, my heart was still tight, especially the scalp of the two men in black robes was numb. At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air was approaching from all directions, and it was like shooting stars streaking across the dark night. Taoist Gong, Hall Master Ji He and three other foundation-building monks from the Taoist temple had heard the sound and rushed over. They heard the disciple's shout in the air.
At this time, Li Yan and the others had just stepped out of the courtyard and heard the sound. Looking at the roaring light not far away and the two groups of people confronting each other nearby, they couldn't help but feel... They stopped at the gate of the courtyard. The young man in purple shirt and the old man with a hunchback looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
The young man in purple robe directly transmitted the message: "Uncle Sang, those two people went out to kill people?"
The hunchbacked old man looked at where the man in black robe was standing, and then looked at the shouting The little Taoist priest ran out. The two men in black robes were only about four feet away from the door of the next door. No matter what, they looked like they had just come out from inside.
When the two men in black robes heard this, they groaned in their hearts. Although they were quite confident in their own cultivation, they looked at the several sharp auras coming, especially the leader of the palace Taoist. It is close to the realm of golden elixir, and it does not dare to make mistakes.
While speaking, the Taoist priest came with overwhelming anger. Looking at the two men in black robes in front of him, his face was as dark as water, and murderous intent was already surging in his eyes, as if he could take action at the next moment.
The other monks in Xuanqing Temple behind him were also full of murderous intent. Although they didn't know what the scene was like, they could clearly hear the disciple's shouts just now.
After Gong Taoist glanced at Hall Master Ji behind him, he endured his murderous intent and ignored the two men in black robes. Instead, he walked directly into the courtyard and said coldly, "Leave ten disciples behind." Guard the door, and the rest of the disciples should get back."
Of course, Hall Master Ji understood what the head brother meant. At this moment, he first wanted to find out the cause of the matter. He looked at the two men in black robes. Then he said one word at a time, "Four junior brothers, please wait here while the head senior brother and I look at Junior Brother Song." He stared at the man in black robe, but his words were addressed to the three junior brothers and junior sisters behind him. After that, he walked straight into the courtyard, leaving Kong Nantai and three other foundation-building monks behind, tightly surrounding the two men in black robes.
Li Yan and the other two people in the distance witnessed all this. Seeing that the Taoist priest and Hall Master Ji had entered the courtyard, the hunchbacked old man couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master, let's go there too."

The young man in purple shirt heard the wordsHe nodded and turned to Li Yan and said, "Fellow Taoist, would you like to go over and see what happened?"
Li Yan still had a hint of fear on his face, but after hearing the words of the young man in purple, his face turned bitter. He said, "Even if you don't go there, if you think about it for a while, you will still come to your door. This place is really evil."
