Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

The woman in Taoist robes keenly sensed the abnormality in herself. Without hesitating for long, she moved her body and transformed into a ray of clear light, flying in a certain direction.

At the end of that direction is Xuelingxu.

……

Ao Qingyue only felt her vision flash, and the next moment she came to an unfamiliar place, and Yin You and others beside her disappeared.

"Domain magic? Or space formation?"

Ao Qingyue tightly grasped the trembling red-blue sword in his hand and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

She was now in an empty ruin.

Looking at the ruins around her, Ao Qingyue determined that this was originally at least an earth-level city, but it had become like this for some unknown reason. Even though her spiritual sense covered an area of ​​100 miles, she did not find any trace of life.

"Yuan, Huang, let's go separately. Tell me immediately if you find anything."

Ao Qingyue lowered his head and said something to the red and blue sword in his hand.

"Yes, Master."

Two clear voices were heard, and then a blue and a red sword flew out of their hands and flew in different directions.

Seeing this, Ao Qingyue also started to take action and flew in another direction.

……

“Ka…Ka…Ka…”

Kong Miaoyin walked in the silent ruins, reciting scriptures in a low voice.

As she walked across the ground, golden lotuses sprouted under her feet. At the same time, golden light of Buddha's will rose above her head. A force gradually condensed and became stronger and stronger.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the golden light above Kong Miaoyin's head had already reached a hundred feet high, and a vague human figure was faintly visible.

But the scene before her eyes gradually darkened, the sky was getting darker, and a chilling and ominous aura began to grow.

Kong Miaoyin's sight fell into complete darkness. Only the golden light on her body was still emitting a blazing glow, bringing her a hint of warmth.

"Hi~"

There were faint spots of scarlet light in the darkness, as if some creature was hiding in the darkness and spying on Kong Miaoyin. The roars that sounded from time to time were indescribably weird, and just hearing them made people feel uncomfortable.

Kong Miaoyin still had no expression on her face. She walked forward firmly and slowly. Even though the golden lotus under her feet gradually withered and the golden body above her head slowly dimmed, she was not moved at all and kept walking forward.

In the boundless darkness, the calm and peaceful sound of Kong Miaoyin chanting scriptures was heard.

Chapter 144 I'll be lonely alone

Somewhere in ruins.

After Yin Ci made sure that the surroundings were safe, he let go of Yin You.

"Are you okay?"

She lowered her head slightly and asked softly.

"My disciple is fine."

Yin You replied, and in order not to worry his master, he stretched out a hand, and a ball of five elements spiritual energy emerged from the palm of his hand and swirled around his fingers.

Ever since the evil spirit in his body was suppressed and sealed by the woman in Taoist robes, the spiritual energy in Yin You's body has returned to normal operation, and he has also reconnected with Hong'er and other gods of the five internal organs.

Even so, Yin Ci still felt uneasy: "You'er, rest assured from now on, and leave everything to Master."

Master has given an order, Yin You dare not disobey: "Yes."

"Let's go, we can't leave here for a while."

Yin Ci naturally took Yin You's hand and walked on the ruins.

"The place we are in now is a special world formed by a space formation, which is also mixed with the mysteries of some domain magical powers."

On the way, Yin Ci explained to Yin You beside him from time to time: "These special worlds are similar to small worlds. They all exist dependent on the five realms of heaven and earth."

"But unlike the small worlds with stable laws, these special worlds formed by space formations are more fragile. Often, as long as we find the eye of the large formation and use space means to crack it, we can return to the Five Realms."

Yin Ci not only has profound attainments in the way of the soul, but also has her own insights into the way of space. Soon after she and Yin You were teleported to this ruin, she understood the secrets here.

Precisely because she knew that she couldn't get out for a while, Yin Ci was not in a hurry to break the impasse. She wanted to stay with Yin You for a while longer.

After hearing what his master said, Yin You suddenly realized something: "No wonder I sensed a hint of the aura of a domain in this ruin."

Since ancient times, domain magical powers have been extremely rare. Even the ninth and tenth realm masters who stand at the peak of the five realms may not possess domain magical powers.

Yin Youhui's only magical power of separating heaven and earth was learned from his master. Thanks to this, he is very familiar with the fluctuations of the laws of space.

Now alone with Yin You, Yin Ci had already taken off the large hood on her head. She raised her red lips slightly, revealing a faint smile:

"Well, You'er, since you can sense the aura of the domain magic power, it means that your understanding of the laws of space has deepened a lot."

Yin You felt a little embarrassed to be praised by his master. He touched his nose and said, "Master is still the best teacher."

Yin You was quite interested in space. It was not easy for him to see such a special world that was formed by the combination of space formation and domain magic. He couldn't help but feel curious and asked humbly:

"I can only barely sense the aura of that domain's magical power, but I can't find the center of this space formation. I wonder if Master can help me solve this puzzle?"

Yin Ci heard this and smiled even more: "It's not difficult to find the center of the formation. You'er, you just need to close your eyes, spread your consciousness, carefully feel every frequency of fluctuations in the space, and patiently find the special frequency of fluctuations."

Yin You closed his eyes as his master had instructed and released his spiritual consciousness to cover the nearby void.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again, a smile on his face: "Found it!"

Yin Ci looked at him and smiled, saying softly, "Let's go, let Master see if you found the right person."

Yin You nodded, quickened his pace, and pulled his master in one direction.

This piece of ruins was very large. Yin You had been walking with his master for a long time but still hadn't gotten out. He had now been to many places and seen many cities. He secretly estimated in his heart that this piece of ruins must have been an extremely glorious heavenly-level city.

"But...why does this place feel familiar?"

As he walked, this thought suddenly popped up in Yin You's mind.

Observing the surrounding ruins again, Yin You recalled carefully in his mind. After making sure that he had never been here before, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"what happened?"

Yin Ci's spiritual sense was extremely sharp, and most of his attention was on Yin You along the way, so he heard his sigh first.

Yin You was stunned at first when he heard what his master said, but then he came to his senses immediately. After a moment of silence, he said, "Master, the mission to retrieve the fragments of the Sealing Spirit Map has failed."

As he said this, he took out all the fragments of the Soul Sealing Map he had from his storage ring and handed them to Yin Ci.

After doing all this, Yin You smiled bitterly and said, "There are still three fragments of the Sealing Spirit Map in Si Lou's place... It's all my fault that I exposed my whereabouts, allowing the demon to get it first."

At this point, Yin You felt so guilty that he didn't dare to face his master. After all, that was the plan that his master had laid out a hundred years ago to save the world, but it failed in his hands.

First he looked at the incomplete map of the Six Paths Sealing Spirits in his hand, then looked at Yin You's drooping head. Yin Ci raised his other hand, placed it in front of Yin You and shook it:

"You'er, look at what this is."

Yin You looked up and his eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw three broken blocks in Yin Ci's shaking jade fingers, which were the three fragments of the Soul Sealing Map in Si Lou's hand.

"Master, what is this?" Yin You asked immediately.

"Hmm,"

Yin Ci smiled mysteriously: "Master took it from him through the air when he searched his soul."

Yin You's face was filled with surprise: "Master, you are amazing! Let's see how to combine these nine pieces of the Sealing Spirit Diagram into the Sealing Spirit Diagram and obtain the information left by our master."

Yin Ci was obviously very pleased with her disciple's sincere praise, but she shook her head when it came to the incomplete map of the Sealed Spirit.

"This place is not very safe. Let's study it slowly after we get out. There is no need to rush at this moment."

"It's because my disciple is anxious."

When Yin You heard this, he agreed and continued to pull his master towards the center of the formation that he had sensed.

"You'er..."

Yin Ci suddenly said, "Don't go alone for such a dangerous thing next time."

Yin You walked half a body length in front of Yin Ci. He did not see Yin Ci's expression at the moment, but he could hear the worry in his master's tone.

He understood that his master was talking about the incident in Xuanyue City. If the woman in Taoist robes had not suddenly appeared to help them, he might not have been able to survive without the support of his master and uncle.

Yin You was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, I won't do that anymore."

Yin Ci, whose hand was being held by Yin You, suddenly exerted force and turned Yin You's body over. Maybe because he used too much force, their bodies were pressed tightly together.

The two looked at each other.

Yin Ci lowered her head slightly, looking at the still pale face of the young man in her arms, and could not help but stretch out her slender jade fingers to gently stroke him:

"If you still want to go...just call Master."

"Don't let Master wait for you alone on this secluded peak."

Yin Ci's usually charming and cold face now became tender and her eyes were blurred:

"I'll be lonely alone..."

Chapter 145: Ten Thousand Swords Pond

The sword-hunting hidden clan.

Xue Qingyou stood in a pavilion, holding the sound-transmitting jade slip that she had just obtained, and used her spiritual sense to listen to the contents of the slip.

"A few days ago, Zhanlang Hidden Clan's young master Zhan Qing and Elder Zhan Tu and others were attacked by demons in the waters near Xieyue Island. Only one person escaped by luck after falling into the sea with serious injuries. He was rescued by An Bingzhen, a member of the Guiming Hidden Clan who was passing by the nearby waters."

"There is no news about the rest of the people, including Young Master Zhan Qing and Elder Zhan Tu. According to the Zhan Lang Hidden Clan, all the soul lamps they placed in the clan were broken, and they may have met with an accident..."

Click.

Xue Qingyou put away the cracked jade slip of voice transmission, her face calm, without any change in expression.

After standing in the pavilion for a while, she turned and left.

Near the pavilion, two monks who seemed to be passing by could not help but look at each other after seeing her leave.

"She went towards the ancestral temple."

"You follow me first, I will go and report to the clan leader."

After quickly exchanging a few words via telepathic communication, the two of them hurriedly left the vicinity of the pavilion.

They guessed correctly, Xue Qingyou went straight to the ancestral temple of the Jianshuyin clan.

The Thirteen Hidden Clans have been passed down to this day in the form of families and have great respect for their ancestral temples, and the Sword Hunting Hidden Clans are of course no exception.

Their ancestral temple is located in the center of Jianshu Island, the main island of the Jianshu clan. It is a vast silver-black temple built entirely of rare treasures from heaven and earth such as purple sky sword bamboo, ten thousand year old black silver iron, and dark cloud wood.

In addition to the guard team composed of monks in the clan, there is also a supreme elder of the Tenth Realm who guards here all year round and the security is extremely strict.

As soon as she approached the Sword Hunters' ancestral temple, Xue Qingyou felt waves of sword energy coming towards her.

"Master Kensari."

When the guards standing at the entrance of the ancestral temple saw Xue Qingyou, they all saluted her.

Xue Qingyou nodded slightly and walked straight into the ancestral temple.

Normally speaking, ordinary members of the clan who want to enter the ancestral temple need to have a handwritten order from the elders and pass multiple checks before they are allowed in. This is required even if the elders come in person. However, as the sword hunter of this generation, Xue Qingyou is not restricted and can enter whenever she wants.

She continued all the way until she came to a pool of water emitting a chilling sword aura.

This pool is bottomless. Since ancient times, countless ancestors would come here before passing away and ascend to heaven, and throw their natal swords into the pool. To date, there are more than tens of millions of swords buried in the pool, so it is named the Ten Thousand Swords Pool.

The waves of sword energy that Xue Qingyou felt outside the ancestral temple were emanating from the Ten Thousand Swords Pool, which is one of the most important areas in the ancestral temple.

Every member of the Sword Hunting Hidden Clan will get a chance to come to the Ten Thousand Swords Pool after they reach adulthood. As long as they inspire their sword intent in front of the pool, they may gain recognition from the swords in the pool and attract the sword spirits to recognize them as their master.

The tribe members who are recognized by Chi Zhongjian will be vigorously cultivated by the tribe. Not only will the elders teach you how to practice personally, but they will also allocate more resources to you so that you can grow as quickly as possible.

A few months ago, Xue Qingyou caused the ancestral sword to appear here, shocking the clan leaders who were present at the time.

“Zhan Qing…”

Xue Qingyou stood in front of the Wanjian Pond with a dazed look in her eyes.

Because of the relationship between their mothers, Zhan Qing was the only person she trusted among the Thirteen Hidden Clans. So at the Sword Hunting Festival, she revealed her identity and asked Zhan Qing to help her report her safety to her uncle-master.
