Chapter 329
PEI Ling’s pupils constricted.
He had been in the same Hall as the Ji family. Although they each occupied a corner of the hall, this distance was nothing to a foundation building cultivator!
Moreover, when the Ji family entered the hall, the two sides had a brief confrontation.
At that time, PEI Ling had specially used the [ spirit eye ] technique to carefully check everyone in order to be cautious!
With his cultivation, only a short time had passed. By right, he should be able to deduce who the missing person was from the remaining Ji family members in front of him, whether it was a man or a woman, and their specific appearances ... But he was like these mortals, he had no memory of it at all!
In fact, after recalling for a while longer, PEI Ling began to doubt her own memory. Did the Ji family send nine or ten people in?
There were only nine of them ...?
While he was deep in thought, the two core formation cultivators who were sipping tea frowned after hearing the whole story.
The life and death of a mortal was insignificant in their eyes.
However, this mortal had inexplicably disappeared right under their eyes. With their cultivation and strength, even if their minds were not on these mortals at the time, they did not notice it at all. This was enough to show how strange this matter was!
Thinking about this, the male core formation cultivator said, ” “Mortals are weak and easily confused. Asking them is just a waste of breath.”
“You juniors, have you found anything?”
Hearing this, the three Qi cultivation stage cultivators did not dare to be slow. The yellow-robed cultivator hurriedly answered carefully on his behalf, ” “Senior, we’ve only just arrived and have never met these mortals. After entering the hall, they were probably conversing with each other and didn’t talk much. Therefore, we really don’t know how many mortals there were originally and who was missing.”
The two core formation cultivators looked at each other and then at PEI Ling.
“The one missing should be an ordinary guard, but I can’t remember who it was.” PEI Ling shook his head slightly.
He then continued, ” besides, I’m afraid that our initial destination is not the pengya temple. &Quot;
“But now, all of you have inexplicably walked in.”
“It seems like there’s something strange about this place. It’s not as simple as it seems.”
As he spoke, PEI Ling sized up the two core formation cultivators without a sound.
This Pengxi temple was strange and extremely dangerous.
Although he was highly regarded by Senior Sister li, and the nine Ali clan would probably not fool him with a certain death situation, the test given by such a top clan in the cultivation world must be infinitely close to his limit.
If he didn’t do it well, he would fail at the last step and lose the position of Saint!
The two core formation cultivators might be able to help, but it was worth a reminder ...
Hearing this, the two core formation cultivators ‘movements stopped.
The two of them looked at each other, as if recalling the situation before entering the Taoist temple. Immediately, their expressions changed slightly. That’s right, they had indeed walked in inexplicably!
Even before PEI Ling opened his mouth to remind him, he did not notice anything wrong!
Realizing this, the core formation male cultivator immediately turned to look at PEI Ling and asked in a low voice, ” “Junior, how did you get in?”
“I was going to the LAN ke city not far from the Peng Ying temple.” PEI Ling said honestly, ” but as I walked, I suddenly saw the door of the pengyi temple. Then, I thought this temple was Lanke city. After I walked in, I seemed to wake up from a dream. &Quot;
Hearing this, the three wandering cultivators immediately cast doubtful gazes at PEI Ling.
Before PEI Ling could realize the meaning of this, the male core formation cultivator frowned and said, ” &Quot; I remember that this Taoist temple is located in the deep mountains alone. There are no cities around it! &Quot;
No city?
How was that possible?
PEI Ling’s heart jumped but before he could think clearly, he saw the male cultivator ask the three wandering cultivators,”How did the three of you get in?”
“Senior, the three of us travelled through the night to sell some medicinal herbs at the nearby market. But when we passed by this pengya temple, for some reason, we walked in ...” The three rogue cultivators quickly replied.
The two core formation cultivators “expressions didn’t change. They turned to the Ji family’s group.”What about you guys?”
&Quot; we ... &Quot; when Ji youzhong and the others heard this conversation, they felt a chill run down their spines. Even their hands and feet were numb.
His mouth was dry for a while, but he managed to calm himself down and said carefully, ” we are the Ji family’s stewards and guards. We are here on the old Madam’s orders to escort the eldest miss home. And the Ji family was in Lanke city! Because there was heavy rain on the way, I was afraid that young miss could not bear it so I came in to hide from the rain.”
Hearing the Ji family mention LAN ke city, PEI Ling heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that it wasn’t his memory that had a problem, but the five cultivators in front of him!
The two core formation cultivators furrowed their brows even more and looked at the Ji family with suspicion. Then, they realized in surprise that the Ji family seemed to be missing one more person!
Just like before, they only noticed that there were a few people from the Ji family, but they had no idea how they disappeared or who was missing!
At this time, PEI Ling also realized that there were only eight people left in the Ji family, and he had not found any clues.
“Everyone, let’s exchange names.” As PEI Ling spoke, he took out a blank Jade scroll.
The strangeness of this Dao observation could obviously conceal one’s memories.
Just in case, he was going to brand everyone’s names into the Jade slip.
No matter who was missing next, it would be clear at a glance and perhaps it would bring him some clues.
The two core formation cultivators didn’t respond. Instead, the young cultivator among the three Qi cultivation stage cultivators said in fear,”Since this place is strange, why don’t we leave quickly? Why do you insist on staying here and taking the risk?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to leave, but I’ve already tried before you came in.” PEI Ling glanced at him and said calmly, ” you can only enter this temple, but you can’t leave. We are all trapped here now. &Quot;
The female core formation cultivator who hadn’t spoken all this time suddenly took out a thumb-sized doll from her sleeve.
The puppet looked like it had been made by someone who had just learned acupuncture. It was extremely crudely made, and one could only barely recognize the human form.
The female Xiu held the puppet and chanted a few words in a low voice. The puppet let out a cold laugh and immediately broke free from her hand. It jumped to the ground and ran out, stumbling.
The figure smoothly ran to the courtyard, and under the control of the female cultivator, it went out of the moon Cave door, went around the reflective wall, and went straight to the main door.
After a moment, the female cultivator raised her eyebrows and said,”he went out.”
Following that, she and the male core formation cultivator looked at PEI Ling with a subtle gaze.
“The time is too short,” PEI Ling said calmly.
Hearing this, the two core formation cultivators didn’t say anything and continued to wait.
After a long while, just as the two were about to lose their patience, the female cultivator’s expression suddenly changed and she said in a deep voice,”It’s gone!”
“Gone?” The core formation realm cultivator hurriedly asked, ” what did this? ”
