Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

After hearing this, the others did not dare to ask any more questions, and the place returned to its initial silence.

late at night.

Rumble…

Roaring sounds came from afar, and the people hidden in the formation looked up in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a huge red spirit boat flying towards this side at a terrifying speed.

Chapter 172: See Through

"coming."

Everyone hidden in the formation instantly became alert. Although they knew that the formation under their feet could conceal their breath and figure, they still subconsciously held their breath and concentrated, restraining their own energy.

Nanli Chi's boat flew at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived above the deep forest where everyone was hiding.

"Get ready." Zhu Tai's voice sounded.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Nanli Chi's boat. Many cultivators gathered their spiritual energy in their eyes, apparently using some kind of pupil technique.

Just when they were wondering how Zhu Tai would solve the problem of the spiritual shield on Nanli Chi's boat, his expression suddenly changed and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.

The Nanli Chi boat, which was originally flying at high speed in the air, suddenly slowed down and then crashed directly into the ground.

Rumble, rumble...

In just a few breaths, a roar resounded through the heaven and earth, and everyone in the deep forest was caught off guard and their bodies shook.

"Oh no, a concealing formation!"

The monks who reacted quickly thought that something was wrong. Such a violent earthquake tremor would inevitably affect the hidden formation under their feet. Once the formation became ineffective, their position would most likely be exposed.

Just when many cultivators were thinking this, Zhu Tai had already taken action. In the previous earthquake, only his body was like a green pine tree, firmly fixed to the ground without any shaking.

Long before Nanli Chi's boat fell to the ground, Zhu Tai raised his right leg and stomped the ground hard. A demonic aura surged into the hidden formation on the ground beneath his feet, protecting him from the influence of the earth tremors.

"Open your eyes!" Zhu Tai shouted, waking up many monks who were still in a daze.

The place where Nanli Chixingzhou crashed was not too far from the deep forest where Zhu Tai and others were hiding. Because this place was a plain, their vision was not obstructed too much and they could clearly see the location of Nanli Chixingzhou, but the place was still covered with dust.

woohoo...

A gust of wind appeared out of nowhere. Apparently, someone used wind magic to blow away the dust in the sky. This allowed Zhu Tai and others to see clearly the current situation of Nan Li Chi's boat.

Although it fell to the ground due to some accident, there was not much damage on the surface of Nanli Chixing Boat, and even the light red spiritual shield on the boat was intact.

Soon, the spiritual shield slowly dissipated, revealing the scene on Nanli Chi's boat.

Zhu Tai and others looked intently and saw more than a hundred cultivators standing on the deck of the spirit boat. Their faces showed either surprise or confusion, but none of them looked too panicked.

"Found it. Yun Motian is there."

Zhu Tai had lived in the Tianyun Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and had had many battles with Yun Motan, either covertly or overtly, so he naturally knew his appearance very well.

His eyes, which were filled with demonic energy, quickly scanned the Nanli Chixing Boat and soon saw Yun Motian's figure:

"That young monk on the left is his confidant Yun Zhuo, right? Wait, who is the white-haired young man on Yun Motian's right?"

After seeing the figure of the white-haired young man, Zhu Tai frowned subconsciously, because he had never seen the figure of the white-haired young man in the Tianyun Dynasty before.

Could he be the mysterious monk who wiped out the entire demon army in the Liyun Mountains?

Zhu Tai guessed secretly.

But before he could think more, his heart, which had been beating quietly faster, suddenly stopped beating, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

"Oh no! He found me!?"

Zhu Tai was so shocked that he had no time to think about how the other party discovered him. He immediately turned his eyes away from the white-haired young man.

Just at this moment, the white-haired young man turned around and looked towards the deep forest where Zhu Tai and others were hiding.

Zhu Tai's eyes, which were about to look away, met those of the white-haired young man.

Zhu Tai saw that the other person's eyes were silver-gray, deep and calm, as if they had penetrated the barrier of the hidden formation and directly saw his existence.

Terror! Death! Extreme danger!

A chill instantly filled his whole body. Zhu Tai was unable to react for a moment, and was therefore a step slow in looking away.

He vaguely saw a scarlet light flash in the right eye of the white-haired young man.

"puff--"

The next moment, Zhu Tai spat out a mouthful of blood without any warning, and then his body swayed and he actually knelt on the ground.

"what happens?"

"grown ups!"

"What's wrong with you?"

The other cultivators in the hidden formation were originally carefully observing the appearance of the cultivator standing on the deck of Nanli Chi's boat, but suddenly they heard a sound of vomiting blood. They hurriedly turned their heads to look around, only to find that Zhu Tai was kneeling on the ground for some reason, with a large pool of bright red blood flowing on the ground in front of him.

"Ahem...we've been discovered."

Zhu Tai raised his head, his face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, and he looked like he had been seriously injured!

Just by looking at each other from a distance, this demon in the middle stage of the ninth realm did not have the slightest chance to resist and was directly hit hard!

That white-haired young man is definitely the mysterious monk who wiped out the entire demon army in the Liyun Mountains!

And... and there is a high possibility that he is a cultivator of the Tenth Realm!

For the first time in his life, Zhu Tai felt such a fear towards a person. He pushed away the hands extended by the surrounding monks, forced himself to prop up his severely injured body, stood up and staggered away in the opposite direction of the white-haired young man.

But before he took a few steps, a figure in green suddenly blocked his way.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Zhu Tai was filled with fear and anxiety. He did not even look up to see who the green-clothed figure who was blocking his way was. He simply stretched out his hands to push the other person aside.

But to Zhu Tai's surprise, his hands stopped before they touched the figure in green, and he could hardly move forward an inch, as if there was some invisible barrier blocking him.

"I already fucking told you, if you don't want to die, get out of the way!!!"

If it were in the past, Zhu Tai would definitely not be so impulsive, but now he was frightened and completely lost his usual composure. He raised his head and roared.

But just as he finished speaking, he saw clearly the face of the green-clothed figure in front of him, and the angry and distorted expression on his face suddenly froze, as if he had lost all his vitality in just a moment.

Yin You stood in front of Zhu Tai and looked at him coldly.

Seeing this pair of silver-gray eyes again, and still at such a close distance, Zhu Tai couldn't help but feel his legs go weak and he collapsed to the ground.

The other cultivators hidden in the formation felt uneasy after seeing Zhu Tai's series of strange and crazy behaviors. They no longer cared about the cultivators on Nanli Chi's boat, but instead fixed their eyes on Zhu Tai.

They saw with their own eyes that the white-haired young man suddenly appeared in the hidden formation and appeared in front of Zhu Tai. They also saw Zhu Tai's reaction when he was so scared that he collapsed to the ground after seeing the other party.

They understood that this white-haired young man must be an extremely terrifying existence, otherwise he would not have made Zhu Tai, a deep-minded ninth-level demon, look so miserable.

"escape!"

Without any communication, these monks each practiced their magic spells and fled in all directions.

At the critical moment of life and death, they all burst out with their ultimate potential and quickly disappeared.

Yin You stood where he was, and did not try to stop these monks. He just uttered one word:

"Gather."

The next moment, light suddenly appeared.

Many monks who had escaped hundreds of miles away actually returned here.

Before they could react, Yin You directly released the magical power of the domain that separated heaven and earth.

These monks who had defected to the demon world discovered in despair that they had been surrounded by monks from the Tianyun Dynasty.

Chapter 173: Return to Tianyun Imperial Capital

After investigation, it was found that several flying formation components on the Nanli Chixing boat were maliciously damaged, which led to its sudden forced landing.

The cultivator was also found out. He was an elder of a third-rate force in the Tianyun Dynasty. This time he followed the imperial reinforcements to support Yunxi City. After interrogation, it was learned that the other party had secretly surrendered to the demon world three months ago.

After the matter was clarified, the damaged flying formation components of Nanli Chixingzhou were also repaired.

With a roar, Nanli Chi's boat took off again and headed towards Tianyun Imperial Capital.

In Nanli Chixingzhou's detention room, a skinny man with a decadent look was lying motionless on the bed with the evil energy imprisoned by chains on his body.

In the room next to the detention room, there were three figures standing. They were Yin You, Yun Motan and Yun Zhuo.

There is some special formation arranged on the wall connecting this room to the detention room. When you are in this room, you can see everything in the detention room, but people in the detention room cannot see people in this room.

At this time, Yun Motian looked at Zhu Tai in the detention room with an excited look on his face: "I didn't expect that we would catch such a big fish this time."

Yun Zhuo, who was standing by, was equally excited. He was afraid that Yin You didn't know the importance of this person, so he explained to Yin You, "This person's name is Zhu Tai. He was one of the first batch of human cultivators to join the demon world, so he was highly valued by the demon world."

"Over the years, he has often been active in the sphere of influence of the Tianyun Dynasty and several dynasties surrounding it, responsible for commanding those monks who defected to the demon world to weaken the power of the human race and assist the demons in their actions."

"Because he is very good at disguise and plastic surgery, and he is also very cautious, we have worked together to encircle and suppress him several times, but he always escaped. Later, he completely transformed from a human into a demon, and his strength increased greatly, so we had no way to deal with him."

"I didn't expect that you, Brother Yin You, would catch him this time." Yun Zhuo said with a smile.

"Zhu Tai... I remember now."

Yin You felt that the name was quite familiar at first, and after he thought about it carefully, he remembered it.

During the operation to go deep into the Liyun Mountains, Yin You disguised himself as Cheng Yun, who had defected to the demon world, and used his identity to sneak into the ranks of demon monks.

Cheng Yun's immediate superior at the time was a monk named Zhu Tai. However, Zhu Tai was a tall, middle-aged man with a rough appearance, which was very different from the thin young man imprisoned in the solitary confinement room.

"The art of disguise and plastic surgery? Interesting."

Yin You laughed and asked, "How do you plan to deal with this person?"

Yun Motian continued, "Zhu Tai is a cautious person by nature. Although he was frightened by you, Daoist Brother Yin You, it is difficult to get any useful information from him for the time being."

"So we plan to lock him up for a while. Once we get to the imperial capital, we'll have the monks who specialize in this area interrogate him and get information about the demon world."

Yin You nodded slightly upon hearing this. Yun Motian’s decision was quite reasonable and was okay.

He said, "That's it. I should stay in Tianyun Imperial City for a while. During this time, he will be handed over to you for interrogation. When I leave Tianyun Imperial City, I will take him away."

Yin You had thought of this decision a long time ago. It would definitely be a good thing if Yun Motian and others could get some useful information from Zhu Tai during his stay in Tianyun Imperial Capital.

But it doesn’t matter if they don’t get any useful information. At that time, Yin You can directly use the soul-searching technique on Zhu Tai and obtain his memory.

As for why Yin You didn't use the soul-searching technique on Zhu Tai directly now, there are two reasons.

Firstly, Yin You's soul-searching technique has not yet been fully developed. Once the soul-searching technique is used, the person being searched will either die or be injured, or at the very least will end up with a damaged soul, and the memories Yin You obtains will also have some flaws.

Secondly, the soul-searching technique is a trump card, and Yin You is not willing to expose it so early. It would be fine to let Yun Motian and others know about it, but he is not sure if there are other demons undercover on Nanli Chi's boat at this time.

"Of course, once we get information about the demon world from Zhu Tai, we will inform Daoist Brother Yin You as soon as possible."

Yun Motan naturally had no objection to Yin You's decision and readily agreed.

After all, the cultivators who defected to the demon world and were on the Zhu Tai and Nanli Chi boat were all captives captured by Yin You alone, and the power of life and death was entirely decided by Yin You.

Moreover, they have already learned from those monks the entire plan of the demon world for this action.

On the surface, the demons were planning to attack Yunxi City in one fell swoop, but in fact they were setting up ambushes along the way, preparing to kill the monks from the imperial capital who were rushing over to support Yunxi City.

Once the plan is successfully completed, not only will Yunxi City be breached by the demon army, but all the monks from the imperial capital who came to support Yunxi City will also die.

The moment Yun Motian and others learned about this plan, they felt a chill on their backs.

If Yin You had not appeared out of nowhere, not to mention Yunxi City, even they would have had to give up this place.

Therefore, Yun Motan and others were more grateful to Yin You.

……

At noon, Nanli Chi arrived at the Tianyun Imperial Capital by boat.

Nanli Chi's boat did not sail into the imperial capital, but stopped outside the city.

After Yin You and the others had all come down, Yun Motan put away this extremely precious eighth-level spiritual weapon and led everyone towards the city gate.
