"......So, don't give me away! Even I can't figure out the space here, and Yin Ning probably won't be able to find me either. You'd better hide me! Don't let me get exposed!" Gongsun Lian said anxiously.
She was really afraid that Bai Lan, who was in the Qi Refining Stage, could not withstand the pressure of being a Core Forming Stage cultivator and would give her away without being fought.
Bai Lan didn't answer, but just smiled: "How did you move freely between the formations of Siguo Cliff before? I have always been curious about this."
"It can't really be considered teleportation. Ghost cultivators all have some tricks to possess people. I can possess a cultivator whose spiritual awareness is lower than mine, and then enter the confinement formation here without being discovered."
Bai Lan nodded in understanding. So that's what it is. This is a unique method used by ghost cultivators. Unfortunately, it is a skill that she cannot learn.
Gongsun Lian just set her sights on Long Aotian, the son of destiny, and that's why she possessed him and entered this formation.
If Bai Lan and Long Aotian's confinement time had not yet expired, she actually couldn't get out.
All those bold words he said before about being able to come and go freely were just to boost his own arrogance.
"So are you sincere or fake towards Master Yin Ning?" the system asked curiously.
"What are you talking about? It's like asking if a prisoner will fall in love with his guard? The answer is absolutely impossible. I just want to leave this damn place, completely leave here, and return to the free world of cultivation!" Gongsun Lian's tone was full of excitement and anticipation.
A bird was trying to escape from the cage even at the risk of getting hurt, but was caught by Bai Lan as soon as it flew out of the cage.
"......Let me remind you, your current cultivation level is the Qi Refining Stage. The world of cultivation may be considered free and unfettered in the eyes of a Jindan Stage cultivator, but as a ghost cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage... your situation is more like being surrounded by dangers." Bai Lan reminded silently.
Gongsun Lian was speechless. She turned her gaze and suddenly looked at the young man in red who suddenly appeared in the void stone in the distance, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Hmm? Is this some kind of...monster?"
He has no cultivation, and his bones cannot be seen. He is not a monster transformed into a human...
"Bah, bah, bah, you are the monster, I am the cannon fodder!"
"...Oh? Are you the True Lord Huashen who has five hundred Yuanying disciples?"
"Uh-huh, of course."
Bai Lan sighed: "......"
It's a miracle that Gongsun Lian would believe such nonsense.
Gongsun Lian also saw the clarity and stupidity in the eyes of the young man in red. She was speechless for a moment and stopped talking.
The nameless will-o'-the-wisp just now was a mascot, and the one in front of us is no less so.
A mere cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage actually has so many different things hidden inside him.
Could it be that she is really the reincarnation of a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage?
Gongsun Lian was silent for a moment, then smiled with relief and continued to lie back on Lingshi Mountain.
That's good. The more powerful Bai Lan's methods are, the safer she will be.
Just as Bai Lan guessed, Master Yin Ning couldn't find Gongsun Lian anywhere, so he started a blanket search, searching for her inch by inch in the Cliff of Repentance.
She obviously didn't know that Gongsun Lian's unique cultivation method could conceal the aura of ghost cultivation, and she just thought that someone helped her hide her.
There happened to be two Jindan-stage cultivators who had committed crimes imprisoned in the Cliff of Regret, and it seemed that only a Jindan-stage cultivator could have the strength to hide the witch under her nose.
When Master Yin Ning thought about this, he swept his spiritual sense over and opened the top-level magic circle with the formation order in his hand. His originally angry expression froze in an instant.
"Qi Refining Stage disciples? Why are you imprisoned here?"
She didn't expect that there were two disciples with such low cultivation levels imprisoned in the topmost magic circle, and...
“And why was he…” Master Yin Ning frowned.
Why is he hanging in the air?
Frightened by the movement of Master Yin Ning, and realizing that the magic circle had been triggered, the Qi Refining disciple who was guarding the Cliff and rushed over after hearing the news happened to hear Master Yin Ning's questions.
Turning his gaze, he saw the scene inside the cave again, and instantly broke out in a sweat.
They were the two Qi Refining disciples who had their spirit stones taken away by him and were locked up on the top floor to be "tortured".
The fact that he used his position to earn spirit stones was discovered by a Jindan stage elder. Is there any hope for him? How many months will he be sentenced?
Bai Lan coughed lightly, pretending to shiver from the cold, and said in a trembling voice: "Elder, this uncle is using the extremely cold environment of the Cliff of Repentance to practice a body-refining technique. If you don't believe me, you can use your spiritual sense to scan it and find out what's going on inside his body."
Master Yin Ning frowned and sent out his spiritual sense to take a look.
In order to stay alive, Long Aotian could only work hard to practice body-refining techniques to temper his body to prevent himself from freezing to death.
After a moment, a look of surprise flashed across Master Yin Ning's eyes: "It's really like this..."
"Uncle Long practiced too hard and was worried that he couldn't stand the cold, so he begged me to tie him up with the soul-binding rope and force him to practice body training." Bai Lan shook his head and sighed, "I admire him so much that I have to obey."
It is not sect bullying, but mutual help among disciples.
Master Yin Ning nodded and asked no more questions.
She was now eager to find Gongsun Lian and had no time to care about these trivial matters among the disciples.
Long Aotian in mid-air began to squirm wildly, but unfortunately Bai Lan's rope was tied too tightly, so his movements did not cause any ripples.
"Have you two noticed anything unusual or seen any strange phenomena while reflecting on your mistakes here?" Master Yin Ning looked at Bai Lan.
Long Aotian continued to squirm, eager to speak.
Why couldn't Master Yin Ning discover the spiritual seal on his mouth? He must have done it on purpose!!!
Bai Lan looked down in confusion for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "One night when I was admiring the moon, I saw a black shadow passing by through the formation. It was very strange!"
"Really?!" Master Yin Ning's expression brightened.
"Yes! I also felt that the black shadow was a little unusual, as if it had broken through the outermost formation of Siguo Cliff. It was very strange! Seeing this, I wanted to ask the guard brother to investigate, but unfortunately..." Bai Lan lowered his head, looking aggrieved: "The guard brother didn't take it seriously, and in the end, it was left unresolved."
The guard at the side almost knelt down to Bai Lan after hearing this: "What, when did you say that? How come I didn't know!"
"Why is this senior brother pretending to be stupid? He neglected his duties before, and now that something has happened, he wants to shirk responsibility?"
"What are you talking about!? I..."
No matter how he explained, in the eyes of Master Yin Ning, whose anger level was maxed out, it became just quibbling.
Zhenren Yin Ning on the side glanced over, and the guarding disciple couldn't help but shiver when he met the cold gaze of the Jindan stage cultivator.
"Hmph." Seeing this, Master Yin Ning snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving only a faint sentence: "If you really let that evil witch escape this time, you will not be able to escape the ancestor's blame."
The information from the Qi Refining disciples was useless. She still didn't believe that Gongsun Lian's methods could break through the eighth-level magic circle outside. The orders of several defensive magic circles on the Cliff of Thoughts were in her hands, and there was nothing unusual about the orders.
The black shadow... maybe it was just an ordinary flying bird, insect or beast? Or maybe it was a Jindan stage cultivator flying over on a sword?
In this extremely cold environment, it is inevitable that the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage will be frozen to the point of unconsciousness and have hallucinations.
True Man Yin Ning decided to focus on the other two Jindan stage cultivators who were reflecting on their mistakes at the Cliff of Repentance.
Someone among them must have hidden Gongsun Lian.
The disciple on guard in the distance watched Master Yin Ning leave and instantly collapsed to the ground. He slowly turned his head to look at Bai Lan and swallowed.
He said angrily: "You, you wait for me, I will remember you!"
"What are you talking about? How can you do business without the ability to withstand pressure? You have the courage to accept Bai Ling's spirit stones, but you don't have the courage to bear the risk of offending people? Tsk, this won't work." Bai Lan shook his head.
"..."
The guarding disciple closed his eyes.
He suddenly felt a little regretful about why he had taken Bai Ling's spirit stone and locked this woman up on the top floor.
A sum of spirit stones made him offend three people in an instant.
"Brother, don't panic. The ancestor is magnanimous and generous. How could he hold a mere Qi Refining cultivator like you accountable for such a trivial matter?"
