Chapter 2167 Late arrival
Qu Jianlei was now very familiar with the calculations. After a rough sense, he felt that the danger was not great, so he made a calculation first.
After calculating, he frowned slightly, took out the shell and tossed it in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then slipped away.
Jing Yuexin's body swayed slightly, and she wanted to follow, but she finally held back.
With so many people watching, how could she be so willful?
Not long after, Qu Jianlei came back, his face solemn and his voice deep, "Recheck the formation, especially the Kan and Li positions."
"Other True Immortals, please come to Brother Chaoyun. I will briefly explain the situation."
Paranoid and Mu Yu have been stationed at the edge of the big formation recently, and have set up a base. They will not return to Hongye Ridge, even though the distance is very close.
Anyway, both of them have reached the Nascent Soul stage. How they want to get along with each other in private and how they want to live a shameless life is their business.
Without further ado, the result of Qu Jianlei's divination is that today's incident is really quite strange.
The hexagram showed that this phantom demon...really had slipped out from the formation!
But he couldn't figure out how he escaped. If he had calculated carefully, the consequences might have been serious.
Anyway, there are so many people in the project team, there is no need for him to take risks. Everyone can just share the responsibilities.
What is even more interesting is that this demon originally had the cultivation level of a golden elixir and was not an illusion type.
It mutated suddenly and reached a higher level. No wonder Xing Tongzhenxian, who was in charge of the formation, couldn't find it.
The first target of this demon was Jing Yuexin. His purpose was very clear: he wanted to control the second-in-command of Hongye Ridge.
Qu Jianlei, the boss of Hongyeling... To be honest, he is a little too difficult to control.
The relationship between Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin is not as simple as number one and number two.
Therefore, Jing Yuexin was a good breakthrough point, and it was unexpected, so it was easy to succeed.
After finishing the analysis, Qu Jianlei stopped talking and let everyone express themselves freely.
"This is wrong!" Paranoid was the first to react, "This is obviously planned."
"Well," Mu Yu nodded, "Boss, please calculate again, let's go to their lair and take action... Kou can go, and so can I!"
The thinking of these two is relatively simple, but they are also straightforward. If they find that they are not suitable, they will go for the other party without any hesitation.
But Jiang Hui thought more, her face was solemn, "This is just a test, maybe just the beginning."
Then she looked at her handkerchief friend Jing Yuexin, "Can you confirm whether the mastermind behind this is the devil or..."
In front of so many people, I can’t go into details about what happened next, but this possibility objectively exists.
She was looking at Jing Yuexin, but this question could only be answered by Qu Jianlei.
He thought for a moment before answering that he was not sure what the root cause of this change was, and all he could do now was to be on high alert.
This is a very passive reaction, but there is no other way. The situation is unclear and the result cannot be calculated.
But Master Yulin was concerned about a detail, "The improvement in the cultivation of this demon feels very strange."
Previous studies have shown that there are many ways for the devil to improve his realm, but the formation is under the strict monitoring of the practitioners.
If this demon really came from the formation, then there is only one possibility - it devoured other demons to quickly improve itself.
But even so, the rapid improvement would make a lot of noise, especially when it comes to the improvement from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, which would be difficult to escape the observation of cultivators.
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Master, your consideration is correct. We need to study carefully whether the Heavenly Demon has other means of improvement."
Is this what I meant? Master Yulin muttered to himself.
But there was no expression on her face, she just took note of it silently.
Qu Jianlei said to himself, "We also need to investigate the golden elixir in the Star Palace. How did it suddenly become infected with evil spirits?"
Jiang Hui's expression changed slightly when she heard this. "Leave this matter to me. I want to see if anyone fails to carry it out properly."
This research project is of great importance and high risk, so the research team has developed a series of strict protection and inspection measures.
Now someone has been possessed by a demon without being noticed. As the head of the Star Palace, she must give everyone an explanation.
After discussing for a while, everyone focused their attention on Jing Yuexin.
From any angle, the target chosen by Tianmo this time is very suitable.
The three parties cooperated in research. Although the Star Palace and the Book Pavilion were very powerful and sent formation masters, they were ultimately next to Red Leaf Ridge.
When it comes to high-end combat power, the latter has to be the best, the former two combined cannot compare to it.
Moreover, Claire, the main leader of the research team, is also from Hongyeling.
With Lord Qu Ling in seclusion for a long time, Jing Yuexin is actually the top person. If we control her, everything will be easy.
This time, she discovered the problem in time, but what about next time?
Jiang Hui even gave her two amulets as a gift. "Your light magic is powerful, but the temple also has some good stuff hidden in the bottom of the box."
Next, everyone discussed how to strengthen internal screening methods and agree on a secret code for communication among the three parties.
Then everyone left, but Master Yulin and Immortal Sanhe stayed.
When Hall Master Jiang was leaving, she also noticed this, but she was busy investigating her own golden elixir and just took note of it secretly.
Anyway, given her relationship with Jing Yuexin, it wouldn't be difficult to find out some information.
After everyone left, Master Yulin asked, "Master Qu Ling, are you really not going to investigate the strangeness of the demon's improvement in cultivation?"
Given your relationship with Jing Yuexin, can you swallow this?
"Tsk, I also want to continue investigating," Qu Jianlei frowned, "but I can't figure it out. The situation is a bit complicated."
Then he glanced at Immortal Sanhe and sighed softly, "Wen Yu is still in Yanjiafang Market."
Although the Third Pavilion Master had been staying near the formation, given his level of cultivation, he could not hide any news from the surrounding areas.
But he was still quite surprised when he heard it, "You don't think it has anything to do with him?"
He did say that Wen Yu was no simple man, but colluding with the devil... wasn't this crime too serious?
He is one of the five masters of the Taoist Palace and a high-ranking official of the Four Sacred Mountains!
"I don't dare to trust anyone right now," Qu Jianlei spread his hands expressionlessly, "and there's no one to suspect."
You can't just doubt without a goal, right? The Third Pavilion Master suddenly felt a little regretful that he had said too much at the beginning.
But then he realized that the other party should not be such a careless person.
So he asked, "Master Qu Ling, this... I guess there must be some basis for this?"
"Not really," Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, "It's just that the feeling of divination is not good, and I can't calculate it in detail..."
Others who heard this might think it made no sense, but as a divination expert himself, the Third Pavilion Master understood it immediately.
If you feel bad, can you not calculate carefully? Not necessarily, especially when the other party has something to conceal the secrets.
However, it is impossible to calculate everything in the world. If you try to solve everything you don’t understand through divination, your end will be very miserable.
So he asked thoughtfully, "Is the cause and effect involved very serious?"
Seeing the other party nod slightly, the Third Pavilion Master could only sigh, "Then... forget it, we still have to be cautious."
Lord Qu Ling dares to predict and curse even the demon that has left its body, so what else is there that he dare not predict?
Apart from the possible emergence of a new demon, there are only one palace and four sacred mountains left.
Among these five major forces, there is no one who has achieved out-of-body experience, but all of them have great karmic connections with the upper realm, and their severity is no less than that of those who have achieved out-of-body experience.
The Third Pavilion Master hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you think? Can I tell you?"
Just because the other party is unable to make a calculation doesn’t mean it’s inconvenient for him. There are many factors that may be involved, and it can’t be explained in just a few words.
If the mastermind behind this is really one of the five major forces, and Shu Ge is one of the five major forces, some causes and effects may be offset.
Anyway, when it comes to divination, the Third Pavilion Master doesn't want to compare himself with Qu Jianlei, because the other party is at least not worse than him.
Lord Qu Ling has powerful protective treasures, probably more than one, but his Chunwei Pen has just been repaired and has not yet been nurtured.
So whether to take action or not, he has to listen to the other party's advice.
Qu Jianlei also understood his thoughts. He thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it. It could also be the pressure from the demon world."
A cold light flashed in the paranoid man's eyes, "Since he is in Yanjiafang City...how about letting him have an accident?"
It's really unheard of for someone to dare to say this in front of two Yuanying masters in the library.
But Qu Jianlei knew how he felt - when Yi He disappeared, it was he and Mu Yu who led the team.
Lao Pian has a lot of problems, but no matter what, it is really important to save face as a human being.
"Not yet," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Let's wait and see how the situation develops."
The news of the incident at Hongye Ridge spread like wildfire the next day. Although the battle was short, the reaction it caused was huge.
In Sujia Village, there is a liaison point between the Academy of Arts and the Sea of Bitterness, which is specifically responsible for communication with Hongye Ridge.
The progress of the Tianmo project is the key content of communication, which is also the original commitment made by the three parties to the outside world - to actively share what they have.
So the next day, people from the Academy of Arts and the Sea of Bitterness rushed over, learned about the situation, and asked if there was anything they could do to help.
On the Hongyeling side, they simply told the other party the situation truthfully, describing the characteristics of the demon's sneak attack, and had no intention of asking for help.
Only the Taoist Palace had no visitors. Even when it was discovered that Master Yuhua lived in Yanjiafang Market, no one came.
People who don’t understand will not find it strange, because Guan Fei Zhenxian of the Taoist Palace is also in the team studying the demon.
Even though there was only this one person in the Taoist Palace, and he was just there to help out, he was able to deliver news promptly and accurately enough.
Qu Jianlei and the others didn't mention this, but it's hard to say what they were thinking in their hearts.
After a few more days, the people from the Academy of Arts and the Sea of Bitterness left, and the number of Dongsheng cultivators who came to inquire about the news gradually decreased, and it was only then that Lord Yuhua showed up.
He asked to see Lord Qu Ling, or Fairy Jing, but was still blocked by Fairy Qi Ya.
She said indifferently, "It's over now, and Guan Fei Zhenxian will spread the news, so there's no need for you to meet."
