After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger
Chapter 370 Lure the snake out of its hole
That night, Pei Yun came to Zhongming Mountain alone. Like Songying Mountain, this mountain is located around Lingxi Mountain, and there is also a trial area at the top of the mountain.
It was already late at night and there was no one on the top of Zhongming Mountain. Pei Yun came to the trial pavilion and saw a huge bell hanging in the pavilion.
Liang Feng and Zhao Han had come for the trial yesterday. It was very simple, just use spiritual consciousness to ring the bell. This trial site tests the soul power of the trial-taker, which is Pei Yun's strong point.
Pei Yun stood in the pavilion, with purple light flashing in his eyes. He performed the art of controlling the mind and was about to ring the huge bell in front of him. In a flash, three black needles "whoosh" attacked the back of Pei Yun's head!
Sure enough, it appeared!
Pei Yun slightly raised the corners of her lips, seemingly concentrating all her attention on the trial, but in fact she had already noticed that someone was following her. She even chose to come here at this time on purpose, just to lure out the person who had been following her for several days!
At the moment the man attacked, Pei Yun performed the Seven Instant Shadow Steps almost at the same time to avoid the attack.
However, to Pei Yun's surprise, the three thin needles seemed to identify Pei Yun and turned around and continued to attack her. Moreover, it was a spiritual attack that ignored all spells.
Pei Yun restrained her smile slightly. She used her spiritual sense to defend herself - the Void Pavilion. The three needles were covered by the Void Pavilion. After a moment, they turned into black smoke and dispersed with the wind...
The magic sword appeared in Pei Yun's hand in an instant. She did not dodge or evade, but directly faced the attacker's knife!
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" Pei Yun asked while fighting.
Only then did she see clearly that the man in black who was following her and attacking her was actually the man she had a tryst with outside the bamboo forest a few days ago. The man did not answer Pei Yun's words, but just went straight towards Pei Yun with his knife without holding back.
Pei Yun had just practiced the Nine Gates Returning to One Sword Technique and the Four Symbols Illusory Demon Record, so they were unable to exert their full power. Her most powerful attack right now was the Five Elements Sword Formation. Five sword lights were placed above the two people's heads, emitting dazzling light...
But the opponent's swordsmanship was also quite exquisite. Every time he swung his sword, a powerful tornado was formed. Moreover, this wind had the ability to corrode. After being swept away, the surrounding flowers and plants were directly corroded into a pool of black liquid...
"Is this poison?!" Pei Yun was surprised.
On this side, although the man in black remained silent and had a sinister look on his face, he was actually shocked by Pei Yun in his heart!
He was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and believed that his cultivation was two levels higher than Pei Yun's. He had also made careful plans before the assassination. However, the two of them had been in a stalemate for a while, and he had not yet killed the person in front of him as planned.
Although Pei Yun was at a disadvantage, he seemed to be able to handle it with ease. The longer the time dragged on, the worse his situation would become.
The man in black gritted his teeth, took out two pills from his sleeve and threw them in Pei Yun's direction. The next moment, poison gas overflowed from the pills, and in a short moment, Pei Yun was surrounded by poisonous fog.
Pei Yun took the detoxification pill at the first moment, but the poisonous fog not only poisoned people, but also formed a fog array, intending to trap her.
Of course Pei Yun had the space in her hands, so she was not afraid. She wanted to see what other tricks this person had.
After a while, the man in black took out another stack of talisman papers and threw them towards Pei Yun. The flying talisman papers floated above Pei Yun's head.
Pei Yun thought it was some kind of magic talisman at first, but in the blink of an eye, the talisman paper turned into scorpions and bees emitting red light, falling from the sky and spewing venom at Pei Yun...
The dense swarm of poisonous scorpions and bees came towards her, which gave Pei Yun goose bumps. She was in no mood to continue dealing with the person in front of her, so she prepared to hide in the space...
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dazzling golden light came into her eyes, and the surrounding poisonous fog, scorpions, bees and fog array were all broken, and a man in scarlet clothes appeared in front of her out of thin air. He turned around, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling, raised his eyebrows, and his calm temperament revealed a sense of elegance and unrestrainedness, and said: "Miss, are you okay?"
Pei Yun was surprised when she saw the face of the person in front of her, because she had seen this person's portrait on the wall of the Alchemy Pavilion. She hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Pei Yun greets Venerable Lingxi."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man in black attacked again. This time, he was not targeting her, but rushed towards Chen Lingxi as if he was risking his life. His eyes instantly turned red, full of hatred and anger. For the first time, he gritted his teeth and spoke: "Chen Lingxi!"
Without saying a word, Chen Lingxi pulled Pei Yun's wrist and dodged to the side. Then he waved his sleeve and a flash of sword passed by. Before Pei Yun could react, he saw the black-clothed man's shoulder was pierced and he fell backwards to the ground. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood...
"Who are you? Why did you attack guests in Lingxi Mountain?" The oppressive aura emanating from Chen Lingxi made the man in black breathless.
The man in black did not answer. At this moment, he didn't care about Pei Yun at all. His eyes were fixed on Chen Lingxi.
Chen Lingxi was quite curious. This person seemed to have a deep hatred for him, but he didn't recognize the person in front of him at all. He was about to ask again when two guards arrived. They hurriedly saluted Chen Lingxi and said in panic, "Mountain Master."
Chen Lingxi ordered: "Capture this man and send him to Lingxi Palace. I want to interrogate him personally."
"Yes."
Chen Lingxi looked at Pei Yun again, sizing her up with interest: "Miss, you are frightened. It was because of my poor hospitality at Lingxi Mountain that you were attacked."
"I dare not. It is my honor to be able to attend the birthday banquet for the Venerable."
"Which sect are you from? Or whose family are you from?"
"I am Pei Yun, a junior and elder of the Yunshan Sect. I am invited by Daoist Wei Yuyan to attend the birthday banquet for the Venerable."
"So you're Yu Yan's friend." Chen Lingxi nodded, as if she remembered something, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Pei Yun? This name sounds familiar... I remember that a few days ago, Zi Heng told me that there was a child introduced by the elders of the Alchemy Temple. He was very talented in alchemy. His name was Pei Yun. Is that you?"
"Thank you for the compliment, Elder Zhang. I am ashamed to hear it." Pei Yun said modestly.
Seeing that two guards had tied up the man in black and were standing respectfully behind him, Chen Lingxi pointed at him and said, "This man in black dared to hurt a guest in Lingxi Mountain. As the host, I must give you an explanation. Why don't you follow me to Lingxi Mountain and I will interrogate him personally..."
"...Thank you, Venerable Lingxi. I will respectfully obey your command."
Pei Yun agreed without much hesitation, mainly because she was also very curious why the man in black wanted to assassinate her. Was it just because she saw him having a tryst with a woman?
Chen Lingxi did not take Pei Yun to fly directly to Lingxi Mountain. Instead, he walked down the mountain leisurely with Pei Yun with his hands behind his back. Halfway through, he was in the mood to test Pei Yun's alchemy skills.
Pei Yun not only answered fluently, but was even able to draw inferences about other situations from one instance, which made Chen Lingxi look at her with admiration. After listening to how Pei Yun created the "fake Danwen", Chen Lingxi couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her profile, a hint of strangeness flashed in her eyes.
"Ziheng is right. Lu Anxu actually taught you to be an amazing alchemy genius." Chen Lingxi commented with a smile.
"Your Excellency Lingxi is too kind."
At this moment, the two of them had already arrived at the halfway point of Lingxi Mountain while chatting. There was a wide martial arts arena halfway up the mountain. Many disciples from various sects were sparring in the square, and the elders from various sects and families were sitting around.
It happened that Qin Gu was sitting at the front of the Jijian Sect team. He saw Chen Lingxi and Pei Yun at a glance, and was a little surprised to see Pei Yun appear here.
Chen Ruyue, who was sitting next to him, stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly, "Father!"
When she saw Pei Yun beside Chen Lingxi, she looked suspicious and then gloomy, and ran to the two of them: "Father, what are you doing..." She pointed at the tied-up man behind her, and then looked at Pei Yun, "Father, why are you with this person?"
"You also know Pei Xiaoyou?" Chen Lingxi asked.
"...She is the elder of the sect where the genius swordsman I told you about belongs."
"It seems that the Yunshan Sect is really full of talented people." Chen Lingxi naturally saw his daughter's unfriendly attitude towards Pei Yun, and he smiled indifferently.
Qin Gu frowned, stood up and walked in front of the few people. Seeing this, Huang Ningyu, who had been chatting with Qin Gu, hesitated for a moment and also walked towards them.
"Greetings to Senior Qin, greetings to Master Huang." Pei Yun's expression relaxed a little when he saw Qin Gu approaching.
Qin Gu nodded to Pei Yun, then looked at Chen Lingxi: "What happened? Why are you with Pei Yun?"
Several people present noticed Qin Gu's behavior and instantly realized that Qin Gu also knew Pei Yun, which made the situation more complicated.
"This little friend Pei was attacked by a man in black during the trial. I arrested him and planned to interrogate him personally and give him an explanation..." Chen Lingxi raised his eyebrows and said, "So you also know little friend Pei..."
Qin Gu nodded and praised him generously: "... Pei Yun fought against the demons several times and made great contributions to the Taoist sect..."
"...It is all thanks to Venerable Qin Gu who saved me time and time again, otherwise I would have died at the hands of the demons long ago."
Hearing this, Chen Lingxi looked at Qin Gu and Pei Yun in surprise. Qin Gu seldom praised someone like this, and there was a sense of protection in his words. It was obvious that the two were quite familiar with each other. As for the other two, their expressions were different.
Chen Lingxi thought about it and invited Qin Gu and Huang Ningyu to go to Lingxi Palace together. After the group of people left, Yin Yanyue looked at Pei Yun's back worriedly in the Xianlan Sect's team.
"What happened? Why did Fellow Daoist Pei come to Lingxi Mountain and stay beside Venerable Lingxi?"
Not only her, but the entire arena noticed that there was a woman beside Chen Lingxi. They didn't know Pei Yun, but that didn't stop them from gossiping secretly -
"Who is this woman next to Venerable Lingxi? Could she be... Venerable Lingxi's confidante?"
"That's hard to say. Venerable Lingxi has always been a romantic person..."
"No, no, didn't you see that Venerable Qin Gu and Sect Leader Huang also followed them? Maybe something big happened..."
"And I think Venerable Qin Gu seems to know that woman. He even nodded to her just now!"
“No wonder Sect Leader Huang followed him so anxiously, hehe!”
"Alas, who can't see that Master Huang has feelings for Venerable Qin Gu? What a pity! Flowers have feelings but water flows without mercy..."
……
"Madam, Madam..." The maid hurried into the palace.
"What happened?" The eldest lady was practicing.
"Madam, the head of the family has arrested the adulterer who was having a tryst with the fifth madam. I heard that he is being interrogated in Lingxi Palace now..."
The eldest lady was in high spirits and stood up immediately: "My husband has discovered the affair between the two?"
"...It shouldn't be. Not only is the Patriarch in Lingxi Palace at this moment, but also the Venerable Qin Gu, the head of the Qingyu Sect, Huang, and Chen Ruyue are all in the palace. Oh! By the way, there is also a strange woman in the palace..."
After all, this is a scandal. If the head of the family really knows the truth, he should not allow outsiders to be present.
"Let's go to Lingxi Palace to watch the show." The eldest lady smiled gloatingly and ordered, "Tell Meixuexuan about this matter. The adulterer is here, so how can the adulteress not go!"
"Yes."
