Shen Wanwan briefly told the news she had heard from Ah Fu, and then expressed her own guess.

"I suspect that the evil technique practiced by the Japanese Imperial Master relies on obtaining human souls to improve his cultivation. The souls offered by those who absolutely submit to him greatly aid his cultivation. The more souls he obtains, the faster his cultivation will improve."

From Xiaoying Village to the foot of Dongjiling Mountain, she had been thinking about this problem seriously all the way. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct.

Earlier, she was busy rescuing people from the adobe houses and didn't pay much attention to how many people were locked in each room. Naturally, she didn't think much about the fundamental reason why the national teacher trapped people in this way.

But after hearing what Ah Fu said, she realized that something was wrong. Recalling the process of rescuing people, she realized that the conditions in each room were different.

The people in the room had their hands and feet tied with chains, which meant their positions were fixed and no one could move or change positions by their own strength.

But when Shen Wanwan opened the door to save people, she saw that many seats that should have been occupied were empty.

If I am not mistaken, someone must have been unable to resist the temptation and was taken away after being shaken. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why so many positions were vacant.

In addition to Ah Fu, she also asked other soldiers, and they all said that when they just woke up, their left and right sides were not empty.

They witnessed with their own eyes that their hands and feet were bound by iron chains made of black smoke, and then they became confused and dazed. The voice urging them to sacrifice their souls kept ringing in their ears, and they had no idea when the people around them were taken away.

Nangong Wan suddenly realized, "I counted the number of people coming out of each room. The difference between the largest and smallest number was twenty people. It seems that those who disappeared have surrendered to the Imperial Master, so they were taken away."

Normally, the rooms are of the same size, and even if the number of people held there is not exactly the same, the difference should not be that big.

But she found that the largest group had thirty-one people, while the smallest had only eleven.

This matter didn't seem normal no matter how she looked at it, but she just thought it was strange at the time and didn't think about it any further.

After all, she was locked up in a room alone, and her experience was different from others.

Feiyue questioned, "But where were all these people taken? Were they taken to the altar on the mountain like Canglang and the others?"

With so many people brought to the mountain, the noise must have been huge, and she definitely wouldn't have been unaware of anything during the three days she was there.

Gu Beichen pursed his lips and said, "I led people to search Xiaoying Village, including his temporary residence, and didn't find anyone hiding anywhere."

If people are not in the village, they can only be in the mountains.

Feiyue looked at Nangong Wanning, "Miss Wanning, you..."

“Although I was locked up for three days, I was free to move around the house. I wasn’t tied up with any chains, and I didn’t hear any strange noises.

"However, I met the Imperial Master himself, and he said some strange things to me. To sum up, he was probably trying to convince me to serve him."

She was locked in the house and couldn't get out. She had no idea what was happening outside, and she didn't know that other people were locked up next door.

Then, Nangong Wanning repeated in front of everyone what the Imperial Master had said to her, including the jade pendant that the Imperial Master had mentioned.

Finally, she added, "The aura of the Imperial Master is very strange. It's an indescribable feeling. I don't know how to describe it. In short, it's very evil. It makes people feel terrified and want to bow their heads in submission."

Even though she was fearless, she felt despair when she met the imperial teacher for the second time.

In short, the Japanese national teacher gave her a very bad impression. The longer they stayed together, the more negative thoughts she had in her heart.

Fortunately, she had gotten out of that dilapidated house, otherwise if the Imperial Master came to see her again, she didn't know if she could hold on.

Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan looked at each other. The Imperial Master was looking for the Twin Lotus Jade Pendant!

He must know the origin of the jade pendant, and may even know about the space.

We must not let him leave Dongjiling alive!

The two men's eyes suddenly swept across the corpse on the ground, and they thought to themselves, this is not good!

Various signs indicate that the National Master is most likely collecting souls to improve his cultivation. With so many people being killed at this time, their souls will definitely be used by the National Master!

Gu Beichen immediately made arrangements, "No matter what, we have to go up the mountain immediately. In order to find the altar as quickly as possible, we will split into two groups. Wanwan and I will be in one group, and the two of you will be in the other.

"As for Feiyue, you should stay at the foot of the mountain and keep an eye on her. Be ready to mobilize personnel to provide support at any time."

The mountains have been quiet for too long.

After Xiao Zhulong appeared in his true form, the sounds of fighting in the mountains completely quieted down.

He never doubted Xiao Zhulong's strength, but the national teacher had been quietly planning for so long, and he would never be defeated easily.

They must rescue the people before the Imperial Master notices.

Feiyue looked at Shen Wanwan, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Seeing that she never looked at her, she could only say "Oh" unwillingly and watched the four people walk away.

"Everyone, please be quick..."

……

The moment the Imperial Master was knocked away by the Little Candle Dragon, Ye Tianlan had already set out to chase him, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.

In just a blink of an eye, the figure of the national teacher disappeared without a trace.

A piece of talisman paper ashes fell where the national teacher disappeared.

Ye Tianlan walked over quickly, stretched out two fingers, picked up the ashes, took a glance, and his eyes dimmed.

Is the National Master really a talisman master?

Ye Tianlan pondered for a moment, then took a step and flew away in a certain direction.

The white figure passed through the dense forest and finally stopped on a gentle slope.

At this time, the sky was already bright, the sun was rising slowly, and the dew on the grass was sparkling with crystal light.

Ye Tianlan looked around and finally looked at a large cemetery in the distance with a complicated expression.

The tombs are all built with white marble, and the word "Thank you" is engraved on all the tombstones.

Earlier, when I was flying on a sword at high altitude, I had a panoramic view of the terrain of Dongjiling.

The dark blue mountains are like the winding spine of a dragon, and are in an excellent location for storing wind and gathering energy, making it a Feng Shui treasure land.

I have to say that the location of the Xie family’s ancestral tomb is really good.

There seemed to be a mist flowing on the ground, with a faint golden glow, and the surrounding pines and cypresses were extremely lush.

There is dragon energy here?

Ye Tianlan looked ahead and quickly put away his surprise.

Xiao Zhulong is an ancient dragon that was previously trapped in the ancient desert, and the entrance is nearby.

At the beginning, Chen Qianru was forced to lead the way, and Ye Tianlan and Shen Wanwan accidentally fell into the ancient desert nearby.

Not only them, but also Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan accidentally entered the ancient desert nearby.

Ye Tianlan blinked. If he guessed correctly, the dragon energy here came from Xiao Zhulong.

It was sealed in the ancient desert, and there are entrances and exits to the ancient desert nearby, so it is normal for dragon energy to leak out from it.

A place with dragon energy contains spiritual charm that is difficult for ordinary people to perceive. It is vast and long-lasting. The immortals buried here will be blessed by their descendants for generations, and their blessings will continue and their luck will be excellent.

pity……

The source of the dragon energy was cut off by human beings. Without the dragon energy, the blessed land was no longer a blessed land, but instead...

The Imperial Master really has good methods!

Suddenly, Ye Tianlan's sight fell on a flat open space not far away.

Other places had either stones, grass or trees, but that place was empty.

Is it an altar?

Ye Tianlan walked towards the open space, but after only a few steps, he realized something was wrong.

We were clearly heading towards the open space, but as we walked, we lost our way.

He turned around and walked back, trying to walk towards the open space again, but he still went astray, either towards the cemetery or down the mountain.

Ye Tianlan stopped and scanned the open space, suddenly locking his gaze on a stone beside him.

Those stones look messy, but if you look closely you can find clues.

It's a maze array, and it has just been moved.

The national teacher is indeed a master of formations!

Anyone who strays into the maze will see a thick fog with no end in sight, making it impossible to find a way out.

This maze formation was somewhat different from the one he had encountered in the mountains behind the Jokhang Temple. It was even more dangerous because of the use of the Soul-Calming Flag.

Once an ordinary person enters the formation, he cannot leave in a short period of time. His soul will be trapped inside forever and unable to leave and reincarnate.

But for some reason, this formation didn't seem to welcome him!

His intuition told him that the imperial teacher had fled to the vicinity of the Xie family's ancestral tomb, so he came.

Seeing the maze array that had just been tampered with, he was certain that the imperial teacher was hiding inside the altar.
