A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 292 Zhou Family

Zhao Kaishan thought of something, and his eyes showed resentment. After taking a deep breath, he replied, "The other brothers should be in their residence on Tianli Island now. A month ago, I was invited to come to Tianjue Island together. Since it is close to the safe area and there are a few friends I know, I agreed."

"When we went deeper, we were suddenly attacked by many evil spirits. We fought back with all our might and finally repelled them. But the two people who invited us suddenly used magic talismans to kill us. I reacted quickly and managed to escape. Unfortunately, I lost my way in the secret forest at night and entered a forbidden area by mistake. I was imprisoned for a month. I thought I was going to die, but fortunately, Fellow Daoist Lu rescued me."

"Safe area? You mean the area where the Golden Core inheritance occurred?" Lu Luan asked with a frown.

There is no safe area on Tianjue Island. Now the only safe place he has been to is the one he visited before.

And it’s not too far away.

"Not bad." Zhao Kaishan nodded.

"How many people are there in your group?" Lu Luan asked.

"Five of them are in the middle stage of foundation building. Except for me, the other two fellow Taoists I knew were ambushed and killed." Zhao Kaishan's eyes showed fear and hatred.

If it weren't for his weaker cultivation, the two men who attacked him would not have targeted him first. Otherwise, he would have been doomed.

"So many experts?"

Lu Luan was startled, then asked: "Do you know the two who did it?"

"I don't know them. They are independent cultivators from other places. They came here because they heard about the Golden Core inheritance. When they invited me, they said they found a powerful restriction at this location and a spiritual medicine worth more than a thousand spiritual stones, so they wanted to join forces to collect it."

As Zhao Kaishan spoke, he picked up a wooden stick and drew a circle on the ground, and finally pointed the stick at the upper left corner outside the circle.

"A spiritual medicine worth more than a thousand spiritual stones."

Lu Luan frowned slightly and asked, "Have you seen the spiritual herb?"

"No," Zhao Kaishan shook his head gently, and sighed, "Now that I think about it, there is no magic medicine. This should be a trap set by them to lure us in so that they can kill people and steal treasures. It's also my fault that I was too greedy and deserved this disaster."

"Kill for treasure?"

Lu Luan didn't quite agree with this explanation.

If he really wanted to kill people and steal treasures, why did he choose three people with the same cultivation level? This is too risky, and it is a waste to use the talisman. If he wanted to plunder wealth by killing people and stealing treasures, he would definitely not invite three people at once. The safer way is to hide his cultivation level and find someone with a lower realm than him.

"How many ghosts attacked you?"

Lu Luan asked softly.

"Three of them, and their strength is comparable to that of the middle stage of foundation building."

"Those two are already in the middle stage of foundation building, and they are quite powerful. They also invited Zhao Kaishan and the other two, probably because they wanted to use their strength to deal with these three evil spirits together. Could it be that those two casual cultivators discovered something?"

Lu Luan's eyes moved, and he noticed something was wrong. He subconsciously thought whether it was related to the inheritance of the Golden Elixir. At that special time and so close to that area, anyone would connect the two things together.

And once this thought arises, it cannot be calmed down.

"Friend Zhao, can you take me to that place when the sun rises?"

He wanted to find out.

"But... that place is very dangerous. If it's just the two of us going there... Fellow Daoist Lu, you are very strong so you don't have to worry, but my body is weak now. If we encounter any evil spirits again, I'm afraid it will hinder Fellow Daoist Lu."

There was some timidity in Zhao Kaishan's eyes.

In his current state, even if he took pills to regulate his breathing, he would not be able to use his supernatural powers for more than half a year. His body was too fragile to withstand the circulation of his true energy.

Lu Luan lowered his brows and thought for a while, then looked at him, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, tell me the location. I'll go check it out tomorrow morning. What if there really is a magical herb? I'll take you out when I come back."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, it's very dangerous there. There are three ghosts with strength equivalent to those in the middle stage of foundation building. In that strange place, even a master in the late stage of foundation building would have a hard time dealing with them."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, just tell me the exact location."

Lu Luan's expression remained unchanged, he had to go and find out what was going on.

Anyway, it will only take a few hours, it's not troublesome or troublesome.

Zhao Kaishan thought about it, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I underestimated your ability."

He re-examined Lu Luan's strength, and when he thought about how he was able to rescue him from the restriction that left him helpless, he realized that his strength was far beyond his own.

He pointed his finger in the air, and then a picture appeared, showing the process of Zhao Kaishan and four other people entering Tianjue Island.

This kind of recording is not a sophisticated trick, anyone at the foundation-building stage can perform it.

Lu Luan stared at it carefully.

"Ok?"

When he saw several people fighting with the three evil spirits, Lu Luan suddenly frowned.

He noticed something was wrong. The method used by one of them seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. After thinking for a while, a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, so he said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, demonstrate the scene of your battle with the ghost again."

"Ok."

Zhao Kaishan didn't care and started to circulate his true energy to demonstrate again, thinking that Lu Luan just wanted to see how powerful those ghosts were.

Of course, these photos are intermittent and incomplete. After all, Zhao Kaishan was also working with others to fight against evil spirits, and these photos are what he saw and heard.

After watching it again, Lu Luan's eyes began to become interesting, and he murmured in his heart: "This is the Zhou family's method. Are those two people from the Zhou family? Could it be..."

He noticed that the method used by one of them to fight against the evil spirit was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully for a while, wasn't this the method used by the Zhou family?

He searched the souls of two members of the Zhou family. Although it was just a jumpy search, he also saw some related memory fragments in them. Especially when searching their souls about the memories of skills and magical powers, he gained some understanding of some unique and commonly used methods of the Zhou family.

He was not sure at first, but after looking at it carefully again, he was already absolutely sure that the method used by one of them was the same method used by the Zhou family.

"Friend Lu, what's wrong?"

Zhao Kaishan saw the strange look in his eyes.

"Nothing, those three ghosts are indeed very powerful."

"Then fellow Taoist, do you still want to go?"

"Of course I will go," Lu Luan said, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Zhao, how much do you know about those two people?"

"They claimed to be traveling cultivators who came here to try their luck after hearing about what happened on Tianjue Island..." Zhao Kaishan told him everything he knew.

"Hiding identity and acting sneakily, is it really what I thought?" After hearing what he said, Lu Luan felt that his guess seemed very likely.

……

The next day, early in the morning, when it was just light, Lu Luan walked out of the cave.

Look to one side and walk.

It's time to go check out that place.

Of course, due to health reasons, Zhao Kaishan did not take it with him, so as not to be a burden and left it in the cave.

"I hope Brother Lu is okay."

After watching Lu Luan walk out, Zhao Kaishan in the cave said with a worried look on his face that in his current physical condition, if he couldn't get Lu Luan's help, his life would be in danger as soon as he left here. Any restriction, illusion array and high-level monster could take his life.

"Brother, do you think those two Zhou family members know any secrets? The Zhou family is also a major force involved in blocking the inheritance area. Will they discover something during the search?"

On the way, Xiao Can flew in front of him and said to him while flying backwards.

Lu Luan told the little guy his thoughts last night.

"What do you think the secret is?" Lu Luan looked at it with a smile.

"I hope it is the golden elixir inheritance that is so talked about outside. If I get it, my strength will increase, and I won't be in danger like before."

This little guy is really naive.

"You've got a nice idea. If it really concerns the inheritance of the Golden Elixir, they would have come a long time ago. Why would they wait until now?" Lu Luan asked with a smile.

"I think they did this on purpose. Previously, there were many people in this area of ​​the island and it would be easy for something to go wrong if they came. Now there is basically no one on the island, so they want to be safer. It's only a year or two anyway, and it will pass in the blink of an eye." Xiao Can analyzed seriously.

"Then why not just send an expert? This way, there will be no need for other independent cultivators to get involved. Isn't that safer?" Lu Luan asked again.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Can replied, "I think those two should be from the Zhou family's side branch. They want to monopolize the inheritance and rise quietly. As for why they want to invite independent cultivators, it should be because there are no masters in that branch that they have no choice."

"It seems that you have a pretty smart little brain."

Lu Luan nodded and praised. In fact, what Xiao Can thought was exactly what he thought in his heart.

"I've always been smart, okay?"

Hearing the praise, Xiao Can's face immediately became proud.

……

Half an hour later, Lu Luan stopped on a branch, staring ahead, and murmured, "That's it."

Following the path of Zhao Kaishan and others, he came to the place where they were attacked by evil spirits.

Take a step and keep moving forward.

"Brother, be careful, the area on the left may be dangerous."

Xiao Can sat on his shoulder to protect him from danger.

"Ah."

Lu Luan did not dare to be careless and took a detour. After a while, he arrived at a place where some trees had fallen.

In front of him at this moment was a large destroyed area with potholes all over the ground and many trees broken in two and falling to the ground.

Obviously, these were the places where Zhao Kaishan and his companions fought with the evil spirits a month ago. Although only a month had passed, time had already begun to erase those traces of the battle, burying them under the weeds and newly grown trees.

Lu Luan looked around and whispered to himself, "I didn't expect the battle to be so fierce. I just wonder where those two went afterwards?"

The photos of Zhao Kaishan disappeared after the battle with the ghost, so he had no idea where the two men went after killing people to silence them, nor did he know what they got from it.

Looking at some places that made him feel a little daunted, Lu Luan pondered, "It seems that those two people obviously have some secrets and purposes. Otherwise, who would choose these places to kill people and steal treasures? If I am not careful, I will die here."

"Xiao Can, how much sensing range do you have now?"

Lu Luan asked.

"About fifty feet."

"Have you seen any traces left on the ground?"

After taking a look around, Xiao Can shook his head and said, "Brother, I didn't find anything."

"Really?" Lu Luan frowned slightly.

Next he moved around in the battle area.

Still finding nothing, he expanded the search range with this area as the center.

Before I knew it, it was already dusk.

"Brother, there seem to be traces of fighting over there."

Suddenly, Xiao Can seemed to have discovered something and pointed ahead and said to Lu Luan.
