The male protagonist tricked me

Jiang Heng was never guilty, but this time he was made an exception by Song Ao's "five days", and he didn't know how to answer.

But Song Ao didn't discover anything, he just felt that five days was too long.

It's been so long... It makes him feel a little unreal.

Facing Song Ao's doubts, Jiang Heng was a little hard to explain, so he just stretched out a finger and tapped Song Ao's palm lightly.

A wisp of star power wrapped around his fingertips penetrated Song Ao's palm and poured into his meridians, rushing all the way to the star sea.

And with the guidance of the power of the star sea, Song Ao also released a ray of mental power, and probed into his body.

As soon as he started to observe, Song Ao couldn't help being slightly surprised.

His meridians are wider than before, and seem to have been expanded and strengthened, with a strange luster flowing on them.After exploring all the way, Song Ao discovered that his star sea had already reached the fifth floor.

If it is said that igniting the Xinghai is the first watershed in cultivation, and the second floor of the Xinghai is the watershed between ordinary strongmen and soldiers, then the fifth floor of the Xinghai is the real threshold for stepping into the ranks of masters.

For a practitioner who joins the army, breaking through the five-level star sea is one of the most basic conditions if he wants to climb to the position of a commander.

This is not because breaking through the fifth layer of the star sea is a necessary condition for condensing the heart of the elements - after all, there are so many people in the world who don't have the heart of condensing elements at all.

But if you think of cultivation as stepping up one step after another, the fifth level of Xinghai is indeed a very important big step.

And what surprised Song Ao was not limited to this. Looking carefully, on the fifth floor of his star sea, a small ring was revolving in a certain order, and on the ring, a green light ball full of vitality appeared particularly prominent.

Song Ao immediately realized that this was the heart of the element.

Although it was the first time he had seen an elemental heart, how could there be five elemental hearts? !

At the same time, within the five regions, many people who had gradually calmed down the power of the star sea in their bodies felt the same confusion as Song Ao.

Although it was the first time for them to see and condense an elemental heart, why were there five elemental hearts? !

Everyone who looks inside their own situation has almost discovered this strange phenomenon. Different people, the color of the light ball protruding above the sea of ​​stars cannot help being the same, but it just happens to be consistent with the color of the area they are in.

Those who can enter this ancient secret realm are all elites carefully cultivated by various schools, and they are naturally extremely intelligent. After a little thought, one knows that there must be a deep connection among them.

This tug-of-war with almost wanting to absorb all the power of the star sea and the power of the elements in the entire area has progressed to the end. Everyone has entered a state of trance, repeatedly tempering their own star sea and meridians, I don't even know how much time has passed.

And when they realized everything and looked for the terrifying Xinghai tornado with their eyes, many people happened to see that the once thick and heavy tornado cloud had reduced a lot, and the remaining part seemed to be as thin as a cicada's wing. Soon it will disappear completely.

At this moment, under the eyes of everyone, Song Ao's hand lightly touched the inner wall of the tornado.

This seemed to be the last blow that destroyed the Xinghai tornado, and the remaining clouds and mist disappeared immediately, completely losing their traces.

All this happened in an instant, like a signal, and like a switch, everyone felt that there seemed to be some changes in the entire space.

And as if they were inspired, everyone got up one after another and started to gather in the same direction...

It's been too long, and in the center of each area, the platforms that were once paved by Li Zhi with the Li family's secret method have all disappeared. Therefore, it will take some time for people from farther areas to gather around Song Ao again.

However, this did not delay the people who were already in this area and nearby, and began to approach Song Ao and Jiang Heng.

Some people walked quickly, they did it out of their own intention to get close, such as Bai Yu, such as Zhang Moxi; Jiang Heng is a human being; some people are hesitant, but it seems that there is some kind of instinct that urges them to approach Song Ao and Jiang Heng. It seems that as long as they are close to them, they can be in this overwhelming space. Gain direction and gain peace of mind.

Song Ao and Jiang Heng naturally noticed the movement around them, which eased the awkward and stagnant atmosphere between them.

"Are you also on the fifth floor?" Song Ao looked at Jiang Heng with some concern. Zigu clearly descended on Jiang Zijin, but during the whole process, Jiang Zijin was in the earth element area.

Jiang Heng pursed his lips and nodded silently, "Our elemental heart seems to be combined with the power of the five elements. When you are not so conscious, I feel that tornado...it seems to take the elements in other areas And the power of the star sea has also absorbed part of it, which may be the reason for this situation in our elemental heart."

Song Ao nodded. Although he felt very strange and unimpressive in his heart, after all, in this ancient secret realm, there was such a thing as the realm of the moment. It is not surprising that the Xinghai Tornado has such an effect.

But this also explains why his elemental heart has condensed into the five elements, and Jiang Heng can also practice in areas that are not the same as his own attributes, and even condensed into the elemental heart.

"Let me see your situation." Song Ao stretched out a hand to Jiang Heng, and then gently pressed his pulse door, and penetrated some spiritual power.

Yes, with the help of the Mother Gu's Nine Lives, Song Ao has completely mastered the ability to investigate the target Xinghai with only mental power, without using the power of the Xinghai.

Compared with the power of the star sea that exists in reality and can only be transmitted through the meridian path, the spiritual power is more subtle.If Song Ao had to describe it, then the power of the stars is more like the "internal force" in martial arts novels, while the spiritual power is more inclined to the "brain waves" in science fiction novels.

It is a very pleasant thing to have these two abilities at the same time.

The precision of mental power is far higher than the power of the star sea, and Song Ao quickly got feedback from Jiang Heng's body.

But what makes him feel a little strange is that the mental power can clearly "see" more clearly and more detailedly than the power of the star sea, and the retrieval speed is also faster.

However, Song Ao clearly saw Jiang Heng's solid and thick five-layer star sea, saw his five-element element heart, and even clearly saw the contrast between the more prominent earth and gold elements and other elements.

But... He just didn't find any trace of Gu in Jiang Heng's star sea.

Shouldn't it be?

No matter how advanced the Rank Nine Ring Gu is, no matter how it can hide itself, as long as it really exists, it must have its own entity, why is it completely undetectable in Jiang Heng's body?

He still remembered that in Song Zhai, after learning from Song Ling and Song Xiang how to use the power of the star sea to detect Gu worms in each other's body, he also tried to see Jiang Heng's body.

At that time, although his cultivation base was low, and his mental strength was even weaker, so he couldn't see it clearly at all, but he definitely felt the existence of Gu insects on Jiang Heng's body. Why now that his cultivation base has improved so much, but instead "Look "Not yet?

Song Ao let go of his hand full of doubts, and once again tried to use the power of the star sea to push the small five-element cycle in his body. Watching it delicately operate in a special law in his body, he lamented the wonder and Unbelievable, while continuing to inspect his star sea.

Sure enough, Song Ao soon discovered the existence of Gu worms in his star sea.

It's just that compared to the usual leisurely and active life, the Gu worms at this time seem to be a bit out of spirit, as if after a big battle, the whole Gu has collapsed and is slowly recovering.

Song Ao said in his heart, if he has a chance, he will see if he can ask this Gu, if he knows about the Rank Nine Returning Ring Gu...

Originally, he thought that Gu was just a special method raised and cultivated by humans.

But judging from the news revealed by Lan Tian on the barren star, from the fact that he was able to talk to Gu, and that it was conscious and thoughtful, "Gu" is by no means just a tool cultivated by humans.

In the long history of civilization inheritance, many contents have long been missing. Perhaps, "Gu" is one of the very important points.

However, Song Ao doesn't have so much time and energy to think about Gu, or study the operation of the heart of the five elements, because Song Ao has already heard the footsteps of their first visitor.

Those who can come so quickly should naturally be people who are also in the wood element area. Song Ao thought that the person who came should be Zhang Moxi or Li Zhi, but when he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous about the unexpected visitor. A little surprised.

——"Kuang Yin?"

The person who came was none other than the second young master of the Kuang family, Kuang Yin, the least famous of the two brothers and sisters in the Kuang family.

The Kuang family has always been well-known in the empire. Among the four sects, although their absolute power is not comparable to the other families, but in terms of reputation among the people of the empire, it can compare with the Zhou family.

The Kuang family has been in business for dynasties, and they are the richest merchants in the empire. They control all aspects of production materials related to the life of the people of the empire, so they are also known as the "Imperial God of Wealth".

The Patriarch of the Kuang family is a long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he is very sociable. I heard that the Kuang family believes in harmony and wealth, so they can make good friends with other families. Although this team is on the side of the marshal, they have always been very close to the royal family. , are not guilty.

The Patriarch of the Kuang Family has two sons and a daughter. The elder son, Song Ao and the others, are five or six years old.

And this little daughter, although not as good-looking as Song Xiang's famous star of the imperial capital, and not known as the "Imperial Rose", she managed a good business and never fell behind in repeated confrontations with Song Xiang. The goddess Kuang Wanwan that all teenagers in the empire dreamed of marrying back home.

But sandwiched between such an outstanding brother and such an excellent sister, Kuang Yin's reputation is not small.

But...not a good reputation.

Kuang Yin became famous because of his laziness and fear of death, two things that most people in the empire would feel contemptuous of.

Jokes about Kuang Yin's embarrassment are often circulated in upper-class circles. Although Song Ao is not interested in listening to it, he is still deeply impressed by this person in the very limited contact between him and Kuang Yin.

Kuang Yin first took a whip with him, and then refused to participate in the jungle challenge, a serious example of laziness and fear of death.

So Song Ao was a little surprised when he first found out that Kuang Yin had also entered the ancient secret realm.After all, facing the average loss rate of 30% in the secret realm, Song Ao thought that Kuang Yin would not take this risk.

But now, the reason why Kuang Yin appeared in front of him, there is only one answer, he came for the guy who just tried to attack Song Ao.

"I'm sorry." Kuang Yin spread his hands and said to Song Ao, "Although this explanation may be a little pale, and you won't believe it, I still want to clarify that the guy who attacked you a few days ago has nothing to do with the Kuang family. .”

"Isn't he the Kuang family?" Song Ao asked.

Although the Kuang family has always been good at doing business, they are not short of money, let alone ways to give favors to others, so Song Ao concluded that the Kuang family will not give away or sell the quota of the ancient secret realm as a favor.

After all, this is a good thing that can't be met. If the family is united and one-hearted, they naturally want to keep the best development opportunities for themselves.

"He is from the Kuang family." There is no need to lie about such things, Kuang Yin readily admitted, "To be precise, he is an adopted domestic servant of our family. He was bought into the house before he was ten years old and raised since childhood. "

This kind of situation is very common in big families, Song Ao was not surprised, he only raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting for Kuangyin's next explanation.

The servant of the Kuang family, who has been in the Kuang family for more than ten years, plans to assassinate him now, but it has nothing to do with the Kuang family, which is interesting.

However, what made Song Ao even more interesting was Kuang Yin's attitude - he never thought that Kuang Yin, who always seemed to be extremely negative, would find him so proactively to explain this matter.

How did he get here so quickly?before everyone?This is not in line with the strength that he has always shown quickly, the kind of strength that can be achieved by falling into the attitude of cultivation.

Just like at this moment, he looked at himself with calm and sharp eyes, not at all like his usual loose and slack appearance.

A thought immediately flashed in Song Ao's mind.

Could it be that this guy has been hiding all this time?

Thinking about it carefully, in the Honglian training camp, Kuang Yin seemed to be the one who followed him after he ignited the star sea at a record-breaking speed.

It seems that he underestimated Kuang Yin before.

"I know that no matter what I say, it will be difficult to convince you." Kuang Yin sighed softly, and finally there was a look of distress in his expression, "After all, I can't produce any strong evidence, and I just I know... our family's servants have been infiltrated in large numbers, and quite a few of them have joined a strange organization in the army..."

Hearing this, Song Ao frowned.

Strange organization, isn't it?

He straightened his expression and waited for Kuang Yin to continue.

In fact, from the beginning, although Song Ao did not completely rule out the suspicion of the Kuang family, the biggest suspect in his heart was not the Kuang family.

First, if the Kuang family wanted to kill him, it would be too stupid to send a person with the brand of the Kuang family at this moment. The handwriting of a family.Therefore, this incident was full of suspicions of blame from the very beginning.

Secondly, what really made Song Ao almost come to a conclusion was that in the process of fighting against that person, although he could not use the power of the star sea, he tried several times with the help of mental power, and finally returned to the element by himself. When trying to find the location of the area, he seized the last chance before the man committed suicide, and tried again with the power of the star sea.

He was extremely sure that there was Gu in that guy's body.

At this time, when Kuang Yin also mentioned that the servants were infiltrated and joined a strange organization in the army, Song Ao immediately thought of the organization Li Zhi joined.

Most of the Song family's forces are in the Xingyao Army, but almost all the members of the Kuang family are in the Yuehua Army. Are these two organizations the same organization?Or did the group of guys start a different organization?

Having said that, Song Ao has basically believed what Kuang Yin said, but his face remained calm, he only frowned and pursed the corners of his lips, "You said it yourself, the reason you said is difficult Convincing, are you going to convince me with words that you yourself find unconvincing?"

Song Ao didn't say the ridicule, but the meaning in the tone of the question was self-evident.

But Kuang Yin was not intimidated by Song Ao's aggressive question, he still said calmly: "No, you have already believed it, because you know more than me..."

Kuang Yin was silent for a moment as he spoke, as if organizing his words, he lowered his eyes and wondered what he was thinking, but his expression became more calm and confident, and he turned to Song Ao and said, "In the future we may be more than just friends, so I would like to reveal more to you. "

Kuang Yin sighed slightly, and cast heavy eyes on Song Ao, "Song Ao...I can only bet on you for this matter, will you let me win?"

The topic suddenly became a little strange, and Song Ao also became more vigilant, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Kuang Yin sighed slightly, "I think we may need a more private space to talk about the next thing, so as not to leak the secret."

"What do you want to say?" Song Ao frowned.

Kuang Yin stretched out a hand and pressed his own forehead, "I just learned that the situation of the organization I mentioned is not optimistic. It may be a secret evil organization that spans the three armed forces, and it uses a strange The mysterious thing that connects and anchors each other, the name of that thing, you know."

The information was completely correct, Song Ao frowned even tighter.

However, Song Ao was more surprised by the information revealed in Kuang Yin's words than the accurate news. He had mentioned "just learned" twice.

Everyone is in the ancient secret realm, where all the communication equipment is disabled, the optical brain cannot be used, let alone contact with the outside world, how did Kuangyin "just know"?

As if seeing Song Ao's doubts, Kuang Yin smiled, "So, can we talk in secret now?"

Song Ao gave Jiang Heng a solemn look, Jiang Heng nodded slightly, and then slapped his palm on the ground.

In an instant, around the positions occupied by the few people, several thick earthen walls rose from the ground, surrounding them. The earthen wall rose to a height of more than ten meters, like a huge hole formed from a flat bottom. well.

It's a pity that their cultivation on the fifth floor of Xinghai is far from the seventh floor of Xinghai that can open the "field", so they can only use this method of physical isolation.

Although it is not beautiful...but, Song Ao looked at the surrounding walls, but it is indeed very practical.

"Okay, now we can talk." Song Ao nodded to Kuang Yin.

Kuang Yin was a little dumbfounded. He originally intended to go with a few people and find a convenient secret place, but he didn't want Jiang Heng to do this directly... However, it did meet his requirements for "secret talks".

"Okay." Kuang Yin rubbed her forehead again, "Because that guy is from the Kuang family after all, although the assassination of you was not planned and carried out by the Kuang family, but we do have a certain responsibility for not strictly guarding the servants. , In order to express my apology, I will give full sincerity."

"This matter is related to the secret method of my Kuang family, so no matter what, please keep it as secret as possible." Kuang Yin said very sincerely.

This request is not too much, Song Ao nodded immediately, and at the same time, he was more curious.

The secrets of each family are indeed untold secrets.But with regard to the use of secret methods by family members, many will still be known and recorded by outsiders.

Just like the Zhang family where Zhang Moxi lives, although this "lion roar skill" is not very useful, many people know that the secret method of the Li family is also the same. Although Song Ao has not paid much attention to it, it is obviously a very conspicuous secret method .

But carefully speaking, it seems that the secret methods of the four sects are really well protected, almost unknown to outsiders.

Now it was just to explain a misunderstanding, but Kuang Yin actually wanted to reveal all his secret techniques. To be honest, Song Ao felt quite puzzled.

However, Kuang Yin seemed to have already planned everything. He sighed slightly and said, "My Kuang family's secret method...is that bloodline clansmen can establish spiritual links across time and space."

Song Ao was taken aback, this secret technique...

No wonder the Kuang family is so comfortable in the business world, this is simply the best cheating weapon!

But right now, this really perfectly explains why Kuang Yin suddenly knew some key news, and why he said twice that he "just learned about it".

It is obvious that Kuang Yin has already revealed and laid the groundwork for relevant information in advance.

It's just that Song Ao was still puzzled, "You're in the mind link? But you just found out, and from whom?"

Hearing Song Ao's question, Kuang Yin's eyes flashed a bit of painful complex emotion, "Song Ao, I know this sounds hard to accept, but I heard it from your sister Song Ling of."

Song Ling?But just now Kuang Yin said that the soul link can only be established between their blood clansmen, so Song Ling told a certain Kuang family...

But why did Song Ling tell the Kuang family?

Before Song Ao could ask another question, Kuang Yin closed his eyes, "I know this sounds unbelievable, but... during the time we've been together, outside... two years have passed. "

Song Ao's pupils constricted suddenly: "Two years?! This is impossible! Why?!"

Jiang Heng also frowned tightly.
