A man and a woman walked into the hall side by side.
The man was about 40 to 50 years old. He had a square face and was dignified without being angry. He had a short beard and wore a green Daoist robe with embroidered patterns. The aura around him was mixed and impure, but it was quite profound. He was a core formation stage cultivator!
The woman beside him was a middle-aged woman with curved brows and beautiful eyes. Although they were in the mountains, she did not mind the trouble of wearing an extremely complicated five-colored Palace dress. She tied her hair up in a bun with two knives and walked with a Phoenix holding beads and a flower crown. As he looked around, he had a faint smile on his face, which made him look very amiable. However, the flow of his mana was like the tide, which showed that he was also a core formation stage cultivator!
Seeing this scene, PEI Ling frowned slightly.
After the two core formation cultivators walked in, they were also suspicious. They were supposed to go somewhere else, so why did they suddenly walk into this Taoist temple?
As she thought about it, she suddenly felt that since she was already here, she might as well spend the night here.
Thus, they casually glanced at the three groups of people in the hall.
There were only a group of mortals and three Qi refining cultivators. However, the lone young cultivator in the corner had some ability to hide his aura. However, with their core formation cultivation, they quickly discovered that his realm was at most above the late Foundation establishment stage …
A Foundation establishment junior.
The two core formation cultivators felt that it was a piece of cake to deal with them. They quickly came to a conclusion: There was no one worth paying attention to in this Taoist temple.
He walked to the two empty futons and sat down cross-legged as if no one was around. He then took out a tea table, tea set, and other items from his storage bag, as if he was planning to have a good time.
At this moment, the three Qi refining cultivators were already frightened because of PEI Ling. When they saw the two people who had suddenly entered, their auras were deep, and every move they made was filled with power. Even though the female cultivator looked kind and approachable, when they looked at each other, it made them instinctively cower and not dare to act rashly. They were even more terrified.
The three of them didn’t even dare to breathe loudly as they sat stiffly on the spot, feeling as if time was passing by.
Although the Ji family couldn’t tell that the two new arrivals were core formation cultivators, they were still worried. From time to time, they would sneak a glance at PEI Ling’s corner and then the rain outside. They were like ants on a hot pan, unable to sit still.
PEI Ling was also on high alert, his palm still on the hilt of the nine souls saber.
“Goo Goo Goo Goo …”
The sound of water boiling rang out in the silent Hall.
At the moment, the two core formation cultivators were the most at ease. They even had the leisure to make hand seals to ignite the fire and brew tea on the spot.
Not long after, as the two of them brewed the tea, the fragrance of the tea filled the air.
Core formation realm cultivators, even if they were independent cultivators, were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the nine major sects. However, outside of the nine major sects, they were enough to be the patriarchs of an area.
Although the tea used by these two people wasn’t of the best quality, it was still at the core formation realm. Even if they didn’t drink it themselves, the fragrance of the tea was enough to make everyone feel refreshed!
Only PEI Ling frowned slightly and held his breath without a sound.
After all, who knew if these two people had mistakenly entered or if they were strange?
Even if they mistakenly entered the tea, there was no guarantee that they would not tamper with the tea!
He was on guard alone. The three Qi cultivation stage cultivators and the Ji family were also very nervous at first, but as time passed, especially the two core formation cultivators, they were actually in a good mood.
After brewing the tea, he also took out some spirit fruits and pastries to enjoy. Occasionally, he would chat a little, talking about some interesting news, and a few of them were even quite humorous.
The maidservant of the Ji family’s eldest miss was young and innocent. She was so entranced by the story that she almost laughed out loud. Afraid of being punished by the steward, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and managed to hold it in.
After this interruption, the originally tense atmosphere in the hall immediately eased greatly.
The two core formation cultivators were chatting when the female cultivator suddenly said,”The sky is dark. Although it doesn’t hinder us, it’s not beautiful.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a green gauze Palace lamp from her storage bag. She placed it casually and it floated in the air, quietly illuminating the area.
The palace lantern looked no different from the lanterns of the secular world, but the light inside was soft and bright, almost illuminating the entire Hall. The darkness that had gathered around them quickly receded!
When the light fell on the female cultivators, Ji Shuang ‘er, and the maidservants, they looked even more alluring.
The Ji family’s eyes suddenly became clear, and their hearts relaxed.
He felt that there was something wrong with the two core formation cultivators.
It was true that on the surface, there was nothing in the hall that could threaten them.
Therefore, it was understandable for him to be more relaxed and act according to his personality.
But the problem was that when these two core formation cultivators first appeared, they looked surprised. It was obvious that they had no intention of coming to Peng ya temple.
Under normal circumstances, even if they didn’t turn around and leave, they would still be on guard, or at least have some doubts, after staying.
However, their current performance was a little too leisurely.
Of course, it was also possible that the two core formation cultivators were already suspicious and were doing this on purpose.
PEI Ling muttered in his heart and continued to circulate [ night burn chapter ].
Because he had already stabilized himself at the peak of the middle stage of the foundation building realm and was not stingy with the dreamless powder, even without the system’s control, he was already at the critical moment of a breakthrough!
Gradually, the rain outside the hall became heavier.
Even the conversation between the two core formation cultivators was drowned out.
One could only see their lips opening and closing as they conversed. However, if one did not cast a spell and listened carefully, they would only hear the rumbling of Thunder.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous explosion!
Amidst the mighty roars of thousands of horses galloping, a strong wind blew in from the palace door, blowing the candles on both sides for a long time!
Luckily, although the Jade Palace lantern floating in the air was blown up by the wind, the light within it was not affected at all.
Therefore, everyone only glanced outside and didn’t pay much attention.
PEI Ling was about to continue breaking through when he suddenly noticed a commotion at the Ji family’s side.
He immediately stopped cultivating, gripped the nine souls saber tightly, and asked in a deep voice, ” “What’s going on?”
You Zhongzheng was shocked. When he heard PEI Ling’s voice, he could not care less about his resentment of being stopped and hurriedly said,”Immortal master, one of our people is missing!”
PEI Ling’s expression turned serious. He immediately stood up, carried the nine souls saber, and strode to the fire where the Ji family was.
One, two, three, four … Eight, nine, nine mortals!
As expected, one was missing!
PEI Ling clearly remembered that when the Ji family had entered the palace to seek shelter from the rain, there had been seven people, including the captain of the guard company. In addition, there were Ji Shuang ‘er, Ji youzhong, and the maidservant, making it ten.
But now, no matter how they counted, there were nine of them.
His heart sank as he asked,”who’s missing?” What’s his name and what does he look like?”
“He’s called …” You Yizhong quickly said.
He had only said one word when his eyes turned dazed. He looked around blankly. &Quot; we’re really missing one person, but who? ”
“Who’s missing?” Ji Shuang ‘er was also confused. Me, Xiao Xia, uncle Zhong, and Ji Wu … Ah Liu, who’s the one missing? How come I can’t remember?”
Ji Shuang ‘er glanced at her maidservant, Xiao Xia, immediately. &Quot; I’ll help you remember things that you can’t remember, master. &Quot;
The maidservant named Xiao Xia hesitated and thought hard before hesitantly saying,”This servant … This servant doesn’t remember!”
Seeing this, you bizhong quickly went to ask the others.
But the remaining guards of the Ji family all said the same thing. They all realized that one of their companions was suddenly missing.
However, he could not remember who was missing!
