Five Immortals Gate

“Uncle-Master Yuan!”

Elder Lin was baffled, but he felt a chill down his spine from the other party's stare, and he called out with a dry voice.

“Your injuries are severe, let me take a look!”

As Yuan Zhen spoke, a powerful divine sense shot straight towards Elder Lin, not allowing him any room for refusal.

Elder Lin immediately felt enveloped by a divine sense; he was extremely weak at the moment and had no ability to resist.

The divine sense quickly swept over the wounds on his body surface and then forcibly entered his body, but Elder Lin dared not resist in the slightest.

Yuan Zhen's divine sense quickly roamed around inside the other party's body before immediately withdrawing. His expression did not change at all, but the dark light in his eyes dissipated instantly.

“The injuries are indeed severe, this person should be fine!”

The killing intent in Yuan Zhen's heart instantly dissipated.

Earlier, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he noticed a strong smell of pills. Who was Yuan Zhen? He immediately closed his breath and quickly checked his body.

He had experienced countless life-and-death situations with Zhu Hongyi. The fact that he could survive to this day and even advance to the Composite Body Realm was not purely due to luck, but also to his rich experience.

The Five Immortals Sect cultivator ambushed the cultivators in the market, resulting in one death and one injury. It was said that Elder Lin survived because his cultivation was higher than Elder Zhang.

However, after Yuan Zhen checked the market, he basically determined the suspected culprit. He instinctively became suspicious of everything suspicious.

He was also suspicious of Elder Lin, so he immediately decided to rush back from the market. Of course, Yuan Zhen did not assume that Elder Lin was the problem; it was purely a reaction based on his experience.

Otherwise, he would have directly captured Elder Lin. However, the strong smell of pills here made Yuan Zhen even more vigilant at first.

Did this seem like the other party was deliberately concealing something? Were these odors a highly toxic gas?

However, he did not find anything wrong with his body.

However, perhaps because of the injuries, this sword intent appeared messy, giving people a feeling of being scattered and not condensed.

Yuan Zhen immediately used a probing technique. Although his dual-eye supernatural power was mainly for detecting flaws in spells, it still had a certain probing ability.

Moreover, just relying on his powerful strength, it was completely no problem to probe a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

However, he quickly discovered that there was nothing wrong with the other party's appearance. The bones and flesh corresponded to the correct positions, so it was not an illusion.

But he would not relax his vigilance because of this. The Five Immortals Sect cultivators were too mysterious. Yuan Zhen would not be careless just because he felt that the other party had disappeared for too long and he had not seen them with his own eyes.

Instead, he further investigated to see how serious Elder Lin's injuries were, or whether the injuries were real or fake.

With his status in "Lonesomefall City," who would dare say anything if he forcibly probed a Nascent Soul Realm elder?

Soon after, he had the results. The injuries on Elder Lin's body surface and inside his body were real. The wounds on the body surface were almost all near vital points. The enemy was simply trying to kill him with one blow.

Moreover, he also saw that the organs inside Elder Lin's body were severely damaged, and even the heart was cracked. This was only because he was a cultivator.

The cracks on the heart alone would have killed a low-level cultivator, or at the very least, this physical body would have been destroyed. This made Yuan Zhen's expression immediately soften after he withdrew his divine sense.

At the same time, he waved his palm, and a cyan jade bottle flew out from his wide sleeve, landing on the ground next to Elder Lin in the next instant.

“This is very effective for your internal injuries and should greatly shorten your recovery time. Tell me about what happened today!”

Yuan Zhen did not waste any words. After confirming that there was no problem with the other party, he directly asked.

Elder Lin reluctantly nodded. The other party gave him pills after forcibly probing him, which reduced some of the dissatisfaction in his heart.

He opened his mouth with a somewhat weak voice, but he had already used pills to heal his injuries, so at least his thoughts were quite clear.

“This morning, when this disciple was cultivating in meditation, I suddenly felt that something was wrong above my head. Instinctively, I rolled to the side.

At that time, one leg failed to avoid the sneak attack and was directly pierced. At the same time, when this disciple was dodging, someone suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind and in front.

At that time, I didn't know who they were or when they had sneaked into my room. Even the formation restrictions I sensed were still intact.

At that time, this disciple was attacked from several sides and could only desperately fight with all my strength, using the 'Myriad Swords Return to the Sect' technique to perish together.

In a hurry, this disciple barely managed to block the attack from behind, but all the flying swords sacrificed in front were instantly shaken away by the other party.

At the same time, my body was slashed in the left shoulder and chest by the other party, and at that time, I finally activated the warning teleportation and shattered the room there.”

“Then did you see the appearance of the attackers clearly?”

“The three people should all be elders. They were all dressed in black, with black scarves covering their faces. The black scarves can isolate the detection of divine sense, and in a hurry, I didn't have time to forcibly break through with my divine sense.

However, the hair of the three people was either gray or grizzled. This disciple can only judge from this point, but I think this may be a disguise.

Since the other party is mainly engaged in assassination, they will naturally not reveal such obvious characteristics, the purpose is to confuse people in case of accidents.”

Yuan Zhen did not refute after listening. He would only write these down and check the registration jade slips at several entrances of the market later.

See if three elders entered together. Even if Elder Lin was right, this was still a direction for investigation, so he continued to ask.

“What are the characteristics of their techniques? Or did you see what magic weapons or spells they used?”

“There was a golden flying nail above my head, the one that I blocked with a rain of swords from behind was an arrow, and in front of me, a wall of water appeared.

To say the characteristics… The person above was very fast. Just as I felt the warning and dodged, the other party's attack had already arrived above my head.

At that time, my defensive shield failed to form at all, so my leg was pierced by the golden flying nail.

Also… Also that arrow, full of vigorous vitality, but its power should be the weakest of the three.

The wall of water behind was terribly thick. I think it should be the… the person with the strongest attack among the three…

The dense sword formation I set up was instantly smashed into pieces by the other party… Seven… Seven scattered and broken. Suddenly, blades were slashed out from the wall, and this disciple was seriously injured because of this.

It's just that the other party saw that I had already issued a warning. At the moment when the room was shattered by this disciple, the other party knew that the people in the market had been alarmed, and they retreated very decisively, without any procrastination.

Although they really chose to retreat, they still launched a second attack when they were about to leave. The wall of water seemed to want to wrap this disciple… wrap this disciple in it and take me away.

I had to self-detonate most of my flying swords to barely block their second joint attack and break through the wall of water, which made this disciple even more injured.

It's just… It's just that the other party's wall of water was very powerful, and my remaining flying swords were not spared either. The sword bodies were almost all… all stained and damaged!”

When Elder Lin said this, he seemed to recall the events of that day again. When hatred appeared in his eyes, the aura on his body also fluctuated.

This made his already unstable aura even more violent, and even the subsequent words were somewhat incoherent.

As he finished speaking, Elder Lin looked towards the large sword box on the ground to the side. At this moment, the sword box had lost most of its spiritual energy and was no longer surrounded by sword energy.

This caused Elder Lin's eyes to show heartache, and he exuded a strong sense of hatred. Yuan Zhen understood the other party's mood at this time.

"But I wonder if the sect has found those three people?"

This time, Elder Lin didn't wait for Yuan Zhen to ask, but instead followed up with a question. His voice was low, but Yuan Zhen could also hear the strong resentment in it.

"Not yet, but Elder Lin, please rest assured that the other party will definitely not escape!"

After he answered, his mind quickly and continuously raced.

"The enemy used attacks of the metal, wood, and water attributes. The metal-type attack is the sharpest and fastest, making it the most successful means of a sneak attack.

Then, a water wall blocked the escape route, and the wood-type arrows could be compared to the wind-type, also possessing the characteristics of lightness, elusiveness, and being difficult to defend against..."

Yuan Zhen thought quickly in his heart. He quickly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Elder Lin.

"Are their realms all Void Refinement Realm?"

"No, if that were the case, this disciple would not have been able to escape if he had been attacked from three sides at once.

The person attacking from above and the person shooting arrows from the front should both be Transformation God Realm cultivators, but they already have the ability to pose a fatal threat to Void Refinement cultivators.

However, the person behind was a Void Refinement Realm cultivator. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the extremely short duration of the entire process, their specific realms... this disciple cannot determine.

This disciple can only judge their cultivation based on the aura emitted during the attack.

When receiving their attacks, I could still sense the degree of solidification of the three people's mana, as well as the power of the attacks, which was not equal to the aura they emitted."

Elder Lin simply stated his judgment.

Once a person conceals their cultivation, as long as their cultivation technique is exquisite, or the concealing magic weapon is extremely good, it is difficult to judge their true cultivation from their aura.

However, as soon as the other party makes a move, they can no longer hide the fluctuations of their aura, so Elder Lin has absolute confidence in his judgment.

"Transformation God cultivators who can already... threaten the Void Refinement Realm, and there are still two cultivators who can fight beyond their level, each with distinct attribute attacks. Could it really be the Five Immortals Sect retaliating?

Five Immortals Sect cultivators have the strength to fight beyond their level, so it is very likely that these are two late-stage Transformation God... and an early-stage Void Refinement, which is why Elder Lin was able to survive..."

As Yuan Zhen's thoughts raced, he felt that the people Elder Lin mentioned seemed exactly as he had guessed, but he still couldn't be sure because the three people all used single-attribute attacks.

"In the second attack, did the other party change to other attribute attacks?"

"Other... attribute attacks, probably not?"

When Elder Lin heard this, he looked at Yuan Zhen with some confusion, not understanding what the other party meant by asking this.

After hesitating slightly, he replied uncertainly.

Yuan Zhen knew that the other party had already been severely injured at that time, and was only focused on desperately escaping the encirclement. Moreover, he was affected by the backlash from the self-destruction of the flying sword, so he couldn't determine what happened afterwards.

He nodded. The next moment, his gaze fell on the sword box beside the other party.

"You said that your flying swords were damaged by contamination. Can you summon those flying swords and let me see the situation?"

Yuan Zhen then said. This time, he didn't forcibly investigate, but although his tone seemed to be asking for permission, it still revealed an unquestionable command.

"The remaining flying swords have lost their spirituality and need to be re-refined. Please take a look, Uncle Yuan!"

In this regard, Elder Lin didn't have any objections. If the other party could take the opportunity to find the murderer, he would be grateful, so how could he refuse?

Besides, even if he wanted to refuse, since the other party had already spoken, it was inevitable that he would have to let the other party examine them.

Elder Lin勉强raised one hand and lightly tapped the sword box on the ground to the side.

"Buzz!"

With a sword cry vibrating from the huge sword box, hundreds of flying swords immediately flew out in an instant, and then hovered in the air, with quite an astonishing momentum.

Yuan Zhen naturally didn't take it seriously. When he looked at those flying swords, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Many black water droplets were attached to the bodies of the flying swords in the air, and even cracks had appeared on many of the flying swords.

The spiritual energy on those flying swords was also quite weak, but of course, this was only in terms of the original power of the Void Refinement Realm sword cultivators.

Yuan Zhen also saw that when the other party was manipulating the flying swords, these flying swords showed great stagnation, and some seemed to be out of control.

"What are those black water droplets?"

At this moment, Yuan Zhen's attention was all focused on the black water droplets attached to the surface of these flying swords.

It was clear that these black water droplets were the reason why these flying swords appeared in this state.

"This disciple doesn't know either. These are all the consequences of breaking through the water wall!"

Elder Lin said with some hatred.

His own injuries had not yet healed, so how could he have time to take care of these flying swords first? Even if they were his refined objects, he had to heal his own injuries first.

Yuan Zhen no longer pursued the question, but pointed his finger, and a flying sword flew directly towards him.

However, he only made a traction, and his expression changed slightly. This flying sword actually weighed tens of thousands of catties, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

As the flying sword approached, Yuan Zhen's gaze was also fixed on the sword body. When the sword was still about ten feet away from him, it hovered there.

Yuan Zhen also didn't know what the black water droplets on the sword body were. Even if he wasn't afraid of them, he still had to be careful. How could he actively approach those unknown things before he figured them out?

On this sword body, there were three black water droplets the size of soybeans. This sword was the one with the fewest black water droplets attached among all the flying swords.

Yuan Zhen only quickly scanned with his divine sense, and then used it as an observation object, but he would not easily touch it with his hands. Perhaps these black water droplets contained some kind of highly poisonous substance.

He had lived for so long, so of course he knew how to be careful. Yuan Zhen carefully scanned it with his divine sense.

As soon as his divine sense touched one of the black water droplets, a look of surprise flashed in Yuan Zhen's eyes.

"What pure water-type spiritual power!"

At this time, extremely pure water-type power 충격 immediately came from his divine sense. Even with his incomparably rich experience, this was one of the few pure things he had seen.

He had lived for so many years, and of course he had seen some Holy Spirit Root cultivators, so he immediately recognized how terrifying this power was. It should be something that only Holy Spirit Root cultivators could refine.

In this small drop of water, it was as if all the essence in the water system was condensed, and this drop of water contained a faintly terrifying power.

This kind of terror was still only relative. Yuan Zhen could naturally easily shatter it!

But just for this small drop of water, Yuan Zhen felt that even the total weight of all the water in a lake was nothing in front of this black water droplet.

Yuan Zhen stared at this black water droplet. He still didn't touch it in any way, but instead observed it little by little with his divine sense.

After watching this black water droplet, Yuan Zhen continued to look at the remaining two black water droplets...

It wasn't until more than half a joss stick of incense had passed that he finished observing all three black water droplets on this flying sword one by one.

During this process, Elder Lin on the opposite side remained silent, but slowly circulated his mana with his eyes closed to continue healing.

Yuan Zhen's brows were slightly furrowed. Even after he had finished looking at the three black water droplets, he still didn't touch these black water droplets, and he didn't even touch the sword body.

From beginning to end, he kept his hands behind his back, maintaining a certain distance!
