Chapter 542 Prey and Hunter
Hunting grounds.
Lu Dong looked at the four outside monks whose bodies exploded in an instant, and even their souls were not left behind, and he froze on the spot.
This scene reminded him of the scene when Senior Chu showed off his power in the Star Sea Territory.
As soon as the bronze bell rang, the outside monks turned into bloody flowers.
But the key point is that this is the Zi Mansion, and according to the rules of the Zi Mansion, people who have entered once can't come in again.
Senior Chu has already come in once.
If it’s not Senior Chu, then who is it?
Could it be that these people triggered some kind of taboo in the hunting ground, or were there monsters around?
Thinking of the monster, Lu Dong was shocked. He held one person in one hand and the two companions behind him. He didn't care about healing his wounds. After swallowing a pill, he quickly left the place.
No matter what the situation is, it means that there is danger here, and it will not be wrong to leave here first.
…
…
Watching Lu Dong leave in a hurry, Chu Ning did not show up to meet him. Normally, people who leave Zi Mansion would forget what happened inside, but something unexpected happened now.
The three Yin-Yang Sects put a bounty on the heads of the monks from the outside world. They must know the situation inside the Zi Mansion. Otherwise, even if these outside monks killed Lu Dong and the others, wouldn't their memory be lost after leaving the Zi Mansion? Wouldn't it be in vain?
Recorded in jade slips?
He didn't intend to expose himself until he figured it out.
Everyone can only enter Zi Mansion once. If the outside world knows that he is still in Zi Mansion, I am afraid that more people will target him.
Although there are already a lot of people staring at him now, as Yun Anlan said, he only offended some powerful people in the outside world, and most of them didn't have a good impression of him, but they didn't go so far as to treat him badly. The degree of murderous intent.
He is a dying person, but he can still survive until now. The powerful people in the outside world can think that they are the backup left by the senior saint masters to the north, and they have paid a heavy price to extend their lives.
But if he knew that he could enter the Zi Mansion for the second time, the meaning would be completely different among these powerful Dongxu people.
This means that he has mastered some secrets of Zi Mansion.
For the sake of Zi Mansion, these powerful people from the outside world can hold their noses and be blackmailed by him. One can imagine how important Zi Mansion is to these powerful people.
Half an hour later.
More than sixty outside monks have been killed by Chu Ning. These were all targeted at the northern monks. Some had already killed the northern monks, and some, like Lu Dong, were killed by Chu Ning during the battle. Killed.
Deep in the hunting grounds.
Chu Ning's whole body was shrouded in a layer of yellow mist. In front of him were two pale-faced monks who transformed themselves into gods.
"You guys have broken the rules."
Chu Ning's cold voice came out, and the expressions of the two external gods changed. One of them asked curiously: "Senior, who are you?"
"Judge of the Purple Mansion."
Hearing this, the two men looked at each other, and one of them said: "Senior, we did not violate the rules of the Zi Mansion. We climbed up the Tianyun Ladder and entered the Zi Mansion."
"I don't care about the destiny ladder, my responsibility is this hunting ground."
"Senior, I didn't break any rules in the hunting ground." Another man explained: "There are no regulations in the hunting ground that don't allow killing."
They were just about to take action against the northern monks, but they were suddenly caught by a terrifying force and came to this unknown place. After thinking about it, it could only be because of dealing with the northern monks, but someone had told them before they came in that Zi Mansion's Cannibalism is allowed on the hunting grounds.
Chu Ning did not respond, but just pointed his finger in the air, and the body of the foreign man on the left suddenly exploded into blood, and the blood even splashed all over the man on the right.
"You only get one chance."
Chu Ning's cold voice came out again. He didn't know what those strong men from the outside world had done, but he could find out the truth from the mouths of these outside monks who came in.
The man from outside was extremely nervous at the moment. He did not question whether the identity of the man in the mist was false.
Senior Dongxu in the outer world told him that if you want to enter the Zi Mansion, you can only enter from the Tianyun Ladder, and each person can only enter once in his life.
The other party was definitely not trying to stand up for the northern monks, so it was really possible that he had violated the rules of the Zi Mansion.
The man's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about where he and his companions had violated the rules of the Zi Mansion. After a few breaths, he suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately said: "Senior, are you referring to memory?"
Chu Ning was silent, and the man knew in his heart that he had guessed correctly, and quickly explained: "Senior, we did not violate the rules of the Zi Mansion, we just brought a specially refined jade slip with us for recording, and we did not Reveal any situation in Zi Mansion.”
In order to protect himself, the man told the truth at once, and Chu Ning finally found out what the strong man from outside had done.
The three Yin-Yang Sect families gave a specially refined jade slip to each of these outside monks who were willing to cooperate. As long as they killed the northern monk and stained a drop of his blood on the jade slip, after they left the Zi Mansion, The Shao family could rely on the blood left on the jade slips to determine that they had killed several northern monks.
All those who enter the Zi Mansion will automatically erase their memories in the Zi Mansion after leaving the Zi Mansion. This is also known to the powerful outsiders, and the three Yin Yang Sects can only use this method.
The reason why they didn't use the shadow stone was because they were afraid of taboos, so they used this kind of jade slip that could only record the people they killed.
This is also one of the reasons why these monks from outside are willing to cooperate. In their opinion, this should not violate the rules of the Zi Mansion, and by killing a northern monk, the three Yin and Yang Sects have promised benefits that even make them excited.
After saying this, the man took the initiative to take out the jade slip from the storage bag.
In the mist, a hand stretched out and took away the jade slip. When the man saw the skinny hand, his pupils shrank.
Looking at this hand, this senior judge probably has a life span of thousands of years.
Chu Ning took the jade slip and felt the forbidden energy on it. Obviously, there should be a special formation inside this jade slip.
"Senior, this junior shouldn't be like this..."
boom!
Before the man could finish speaking, his body exploded like blood.
…
…
In the entire hunting ground, not all monks from the outside world are attacking the monks from the north.
There is a mountain peak outside.
Two women and four men are besieging two monster beasts. Among these five people, two are from the north.
The six people fought with the two monster beasts for an hour, and after paying a lot of price, they finally beheaded the two monster beasts.
"I'm afraid the noise I've made here will attract other monsters, so I'll leave here first."
The six people were about to leave, but the next moment they all stopped and looked forward.
In front of the six people, five figures appeared, especially the appearance of one man, which made the expressions of the six people change. This man was in the middle stage of divine transformation, and the six of them were all in the early stage of divine transformation.
"Cheng Xuefei of the Limeng Sect in the Zhongtian Realm has met all fellow Taoists."
The man who was the leader of the six people took the lead in reporting his identity. The man in the middle stage of divine transformation opposite who was wearing a gray robe glanced at the six people and said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Limeng Sect will just leave on your own. I'll come to see Bei later." "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the two men on the far right.
Lan Wensu and his companions looked at each other. The other party was here to cause trouble for them. Are these five people related to the Yin Yang Sect, Chunyang Sect, and the Shao family?
But Senior Chu has already screened out all the outside monks who came in. It is impossible for people from these three families to sneak in.
"Everyone, we have formed an alliance with fellow Daoist Lan to kill the monsters. In this hunting ground, everyone's goals should be monsters. There is no need to kill each other to consume our strength."
A female cultivator in a yellow dress from Limeng Sect said that when she first entered the hunting ground, she was separated from her senior brothers and was chased by monsters. It was Lan Wensu and another person who rescued her.
It was precisely for this reason that she invited Lan Wensu and the others to go together, and finally met her senior brothers and formed an alliance to slay the monsters together.
For Bian Ruyan, Lan Wensu was not only her savior, but during this period of time, she cooperated in hunting monsters, which made her fall in love with Lan Wensu.
Even though she was a cultivator of spiritual transformation, she had never had such thoughts about any male cultivator before.
"Everyone, why don't you let this matter go? I owe you a favor from Li Meng Palace."
Cheng Xuefei spoke, he saw that his junior sister had feelings for Lan Wensu, and he was happy to see it happen.
They have no grudges between Li Meng Palace and the Northern Territory. As the only daughter of the third elder, the junior sister has been troubled by the elders' marriage over the years.
And the third elder was kind to him. If junior sister and Lan Wensu could succeed, it would be the solution to the third elder's heartache for many years.
As for Lan Wensu coming from the north, when other sects really want to attack the north, they will be able to save Lan Wensu and his family in Limeng Palace.
As for whether the memory will be erased, it is not a problem. Junior sister can give Lan Wensu a token of love when she leaves.
The gray-robed man sneered and said: "For the sake of your senior brother from the Li Meng Sect, I would like to give you a piece of advice. Don't interfere in the affairs of the monks in the North. Otherwise, you will only cause trouble for yourself. This time, it is aimed at the North." We are not the only ones who have monks. Anyone else who comes in will also attack the northern monks. You cannot protect these two people, not to mention this is the Zi Mansion. "
At the end of the sentence, the man did not hide the threat in his words.
The expressions of Cheng Xuefei, Bian Ruyan and other disciples from the Dream Palace became ugly at the same time. They understood what the other party meant.
They were killed in Zi Mansion. Even if the sect wanted to avenge them, they could not find their murderer.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, Friend Daoist Bian, since this is my grudge in the north, your sect should not interfere."
Lan Wensu spoke, and he understood clearly that before these outside monks came in, they had already agreed that they would attack the northern monks collectively.
Hundreds of monks from outside came in. Even if these few people didn't take action against the two of them because they were afraid of Limeng Palace, there would be others who would take action against the two of them.
Li Meng Palace can protect you once, but cannot protect you many times.
What's more, the opponent's strength is still higher than Limeng Palace, and he doesn't want to implicate Limeng Palace or Bian Daoyou.
"She's quite brave."
When the man in gray robe outside heard Lan Wensu's words, there was approval in his eyes: "In that case, I will give you a happy life and commit suicide to avoid torture."
Cheng Xuefei looked at his junior sister, but Bian Ruyan's pretty face had a determined expression. Seeing his junior sister's expression, Cheng Xuefei knew better.
Junior sister, I will never give up on Lan Wensu.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, the four of us will stop each other in a moment, and you two will evacuate this place immediately."
Cheng Xuefei sent a message to Lan Wensu, and Lan Wensu's pupils shrank: "Not right, this will implicate you."
"Don't worry, as long as you leave, these people will not fight to the death with us. Although the memories in the Purple Mansion will be erased, each sect has some means to trace the disciples who died in the hands. These people will not take this risk."
Because of the special nature of the Purple Mansion that erases memories, over the years, in order to protect their talented disciples from being killed in it, each sect will also use some means.
The most common is to plant a special mark on the body. If killed, this mark will fall on the murderer. The sect's strong can rely on the perception of the mark to find the murderer who killed the sect's disciples.
Of course, it is difficult to plant a special mark in the Purple Mansion, but there are precedents, and no one dares to gamble.
Out of this fear, if there is no conflict of interest and no hatred between the two parties, generally no killing will be carried out.
"Do it!"
The gray-robed man's eyes narrowed, as if he had noticed Cheng Xuefei and Lan Wensu's voice transmission. He shouted softly, and at the same time, his aura locked onto Lan Wensu and another northern man.
Locked by the aura of a mid-stage God Transformation strongman, Lan Wensu and his companions showed no fear on their faces. They looked at each other and did not choose to escape. Instead, they rushed towards the gray-robed man.
In Lan Wensu's heart, he could not leave the danger to the people of Limeng Palace.
There were five people on the opposite side. Cheng Xuefei and the others only had to help him hold back the other four, and the two of them could deal with the mid-stage God Transformation man.
In this way, Cheng Xuefei and the others would not have too much pressure, because the four people on the opposite side would definitely not fight with Cheng Xuefei and the others. In their opinion, this mid-stage God Transformation was enough to deal with the two of them.
When Cheng Xuefei saw Lan Wensu and the others heading towards the mid-stage God Transformation man on the opposite side, he instantly understood Lan Wensu's thoughts. He did not hesitate and took his junior brothers and sisters to stop the other four people.
As Lan Wensu expected, the four people on the opposite side did not intend to fight them to death. On the contrary, Junior Sister Bian did not hold back in every move, which made the opponents unable to resist.
"Alas, they can only rely on themselves."
Cheng Xuefei sighed lightly. In this situation, even if he tried his best, he could not defeat the opponent in a short time. Instead, this kind of delaying each other was the best choice.
The final fate was handed over to Lan Wensu and the others.
"It's your own shame."
The gray-robed man looked at Lan Wensu and the others with a disdainful sneer on his face. The gap between the early stage of the transformation of the spirit and the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit cannot be made up by one head.
The gray-robed man flicked his right hand in the air, and Lan Wensu and his companions froze, and then the man slapped his right hand in the air.
Boom!
A big hand slapped Lan Wensu and the others.
This big hand directly slapped the two to the ground.
This scene made Cheng Feixue and the other four people on the side change their faces. Although they knew that there must be a gap between the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit and the early stage of the transformation of the spirit, they did not expect the gap to be so big.
Lan Wensu and the other two, especially Lan Wensu, were not new to the early stage of the Spiritualization. During the journey, they hunted monsters, and the strength that Lan Wensu showed was definitely outstanding among the early stage of the Spiritualization.
But even so, they could not take the move of the man in front of them.
"Senior Brother Xia is not an ordinary mid-stage Spiritualization. He is the disciple of the Supreme Elder of our sect. Even if he is placed in the Zhongtian Realm, he can definitely be ranked in the top three among the mid-stage Spiritualization strongmen. What can the two of them resist?"
The big hand dissipated, and Lan Wensu and his companion man had already turned into bloody people.
But even so, the two of them slowly stood up from the ground.
"Kneel down."
The gray-robed man's face did not change, and his palm pressed down, and an invisible pressure surged towards Lan Wensu and the other two.
Crack!
There were multiple bone-breaking sounds on Lan Wensu and the other two in an instant.
Snap!
Lan Wensu's left knee bone was broken, and half of his body was bent, but at the last moment he used his right foot to stabilize himself and did not let himself kneel down.
On the side, Lan Wensu's companion also had a blood hole on his left knee. However, unlike Lan Wensu, a decisive look flashed across the man's face. He suddenly inserted his left hand into his knee and grabbed the broken bone to prevent himself from kneeling.
"Still two hard bones?"
The gray-robed man had a sarcastic look on his face. He could have killed the two men directly, but he deliberately humiliated them. The reason was nothing but hostility towards Chu Ning.
It's not that the two of them had a grudge, and Chu Ning had never killed anyone close to him, but during this period of time, the most mentioned cultivators in the Five Qi Realm were Chu Ning.
You know, before the battle in the North, he was one of the three great gods of the Five Qi Realm, even though he was only in the middle stage of the gods, and the other two were in the late stage of the gods.
But all the cultivators in the Five Qi Realm knew that with his talent and background, it was only a matter of time before he entered the late stage of the gods, and the reason why he did not enter the late stage of the gods was just to sharpen himself and make every step more stable. His goal was the Void Realm.
He was jealous that Chu Ning had taken away the glory that originally belonged to him.
"Fellow Daoist Lan!"
Bian Ruyan saw this scene, her eyes were full of anger, and she was about to rush to rescue him regardless of the opponent in front of her, but Cheng Feixue stopped her at this moment without caring about the opponent.
"Junior sister, calm down!"
If there was any possibility, he would save Lan Wensu's life, but it was obvious that the man in front of him was too powerful, and was definitely not an ordinary mid-stage spirit transformation. I'm afraid that only the eldest brother in the sect can fight him.
The eldest brother is a recognized genius of the middle heaven realm. The opponent can mention the eldest brother and show his strength, so he must be one of the genius geniuses in the five qi realm.
Even if there were no four people to hold the four of us, the four of us plus Lan Wensu would not be the opponent of the opponent.
Although this kind of genius-level genius might be a little afraid of the sect, the premise is not to anger him, otherwise he will definitely kill them.
"Kneel down, I can give you a chance to live." The gray-robed man had a playful look on his face.
"Dream on!"
Lan Wensu spit out two words with his broken teeth, and the other one simply gave a mocking expression.
"It seems that the torture is not cruel enough!"
The gray-robed man's face turned cold, and he snapped his middle finger and thumb.
Snap!
The crisp snapping sound rang out in the world.
The next moment, the scene was silent.
