Huoyun City, in a huge restaurant.
The hall was full of people, many drinkers were drinking, and four monks wearing hats entered and were taken to a quiet private room.
The shopkeeper in the private room suddenly said some strange things, but the monk immediately answered, gave a secret code, and then took out a few small items to prove his identity.
The four monks were naturally Hong Zhan and his party, they followed the passage to a deep underground, where there was a huge underground space, dividing a large number of stone chambers, and arranging many formations, not only the space was bright, the air was clear, but also the aura was rich.
They walked to a hall filled with black mist.
"Coming?" A cold voice came.
Hong Zhan and his party looked over, but saw a figure wearing a black mask standing in the black clouds.
"Master, the people who received me today are a bit unruly." Ye Yu changed his voice and said.
"Not following the rules? Who are you talking about?" The masked man wondered.
Ye Yu exhaled lightly and said: "That's right, he is the hall master, let's do it."
The masked man was startled, but Lu Xiao had already received the signal, and suddenly stepped forward, and Fang Tian's halberd bloomed with a golden streamer and slashed fiercely at the masked man.
"Looking for death!" The masked man exclaimed.
Rumble! He punched Fang Tian on the halberd, blocking Fang Tian's halberd, but Lu Xiao used a lot of force, and the Fang Tian halberd bloomed with dazzling light, and continued to press down, the force was huge, he could only use his fists to block the suppression of Fang Tian's halberd with all his might.
"Lu Xiao? Are you in the Immortal Realm?" The masked man exclaimed.
At this time, the zombie king controlled by Lu Qi also pounced on the masked man.
Syllable! The masked man burst out with billowing black gas, and in the black air, a second masked man suddenly appeared, punching the zombie king, with a bang, his fists and claws collided, and another wave of air exploded.
"Zombie King?" The masked man exclaimed.
He hurriedly swung another fist and brazenly blocked the zombie king's other claw.
At this time, a third masked man emerged from the black cloud, killing Hong Zhan and Ye Yu.
At this moment, Hong Zhan was also shocked, he instantly activated the soul fixation bead, and shot out a black light that enveloped the third masked man.
"Isn't the soul fixation bead broken?" The first two masked men exclaimed.
Buzz! The third masked man trembled and was fixed, and Hong Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and slashed down with a knife.
Syllable! The third masked man broke free from the shackles of the soul beads, and his head flew out and was beheaded. However, when his head was thrown into the air, it suddenly turned into a burst of smoke and exploded.
"Fake?" Hong Zhan was surprised.
At this time, Hong Zhan's hair exploded all over his body, and he felt a great danger enveloping his body.
Rumble! A long sword pierced through his body shield and stabbed him in the back at great speed. However, a fourth masked man appeared in the black gas behind him.
He activated the soul stabilization bead, and another black light shot behind him, instantly fixing the fourth masked man.
"Impossible, how can the soul stabilization beads quickly replenish soul power? Unless you are in the Soul Sea Period?" The first two masked men exclaimed.
Ugh! A long sword pierced the dantian of the second masked man. In an instant, all the black qi dispersed, and all the other masked people shattered into smoke and disappeared.
Fang Tian drew a halberd and slashed into the air, and with a bang, he slashed to the ground. The Zombie King struck the second masked man in the chest, causing the second masked man to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
The battle is over, and except for the second mask man, the other mask men are fake.
"It was so scary just now, how did the masked man conjure up one after another?" Lu Qi said with lingering fears.
The masked man turned his head to look at Ye Yu who broke his dantian behind him, and said incredulously: "How do you know that this is my body, how do you avoid my perception and get close to me?"
Ye Yu ignored the masked man, and he took out a bead emitting black smoke from the masked man's arms.
"Shadow bead? You also cultivated the Shadow Nine Transformations?" Ye Yu was surprised.
"How do you know the Nine Transformations of the Shadow?" The masked man exclaimed.
Ye Yu didn't answer, but reached out and lifted his mask, suddenly revealing a fleshless face, leaving only a pitch-black skin attached to the skull, and his eyeballs were even more ball-like, which was extremely scary.
Lu Qi exclaimed: "It's more terrifying than my zombie, what kind of thing is this?"
Hong Zhan wondered: "Is he still human?"
Ye Yu explained: "He is not a shadow physique, he forcibly practiced "Shadow Nine Transformations" and cultivated himself into such a non-human and ghostly appearance.
"What was his method just now? Is it a doppelganger?" Hong Zhan said curiously.
"It was with the help of the Shadow Bead to cast the Shadow Nine Transformations, he sealed the power in the Shadow Orb in advance, and when he did it, he used the sealed power to condense a clone to defend against the enemy, but he was limited by his physique, and he didn't even notice it when I was close." Ye Yu said.
The masked man exclaimed: "How do you know everything?"
Ye Yu ignored him and continued to say to Hong Zhan: "Non-shadow physique to forcibly cultivate the Shadow Nine Transformations, you need to use the Yang True Water to continuously repair the changes in the body, he may have the Yang True Water here."
"Look!" Hong Zhan said.
Everyone quickly searched for the surrounding stone chambers, and soon found a pool of pale yellow pool water in a stone chamber.
"Return to Yang Zhenshui?" Hong Zhan's eyes lit up, and then he ordered: "Ye Yu is responsible for interrogating the masked man, Lu Xiao and Lu Qi are my protectors, and I want to retreat."
"Yes!" The three of them responded.
The three of them walked out of this stone room, and Hong Zhan checked the pool water again, and then swept the Yang True Water with the Nine Netherworld Yin Wind, all of which were sent into the dantian.
Buzz! Huanyang True Water reacted with his primeval essence, he quickly took out a large amount of elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, and began to cultivate meditation.
Ye Yu took the discarded masked man into another stone chamber for interrogation, and only Lu Xiao and Lu Qi were left in the hall.
Lu Qi was playing with the clay figure next to him, but Lu Xiao was thoughtful, Han Gong's ability was already amazing enough for him, and a mysterious night rain came out again. How many powerful subordinates does Elder Hong have?
Three days later, there was a loud noise in the stone room, and with a bang, countless nine dark winds penetrated the door of the stone chamber, freezing everyone outside shivered.
Inside the stone room, Hong Zhan exhaled lightly and slowly opened his eyes, he had broken through to the fifth level of the True Sea Realm, and the primeval essence in his body had doubled, and he could feel that the primeval essence in the dantian was emitting a faint black light.
"There is already a trace of Beiming True Water in the primeval essence, but it is still very weak. Ten thousand waters are empty, Beiming is true, can Beiming break the world? I don't know if it will be that powerful." Hong Zhan thought.
He didn't experiment and study much, he just stood up and waved his hand, leading the Nine Netherworld Yin Wind to open the stone door.
"Master, you are finally out of customs, I'm so bored waiting."
"Congratulations, elder, make another breakthrough in your cultivation."
"Young master, the interrogation has been completed."
……
Three people gathered around the door.
Hong Zhan said: "Lu Xiao and Lu Qi waited outside for a while, and Ye Yu came in to talk."
"Yes!" The three of them responded, and the night rain stepped into the stone chamber.
Correct! The door of the stone chamber closed again.
"Your Majesty, this Shadow Hall Master got the Shadow Pearl by chance, and learned the "Nine Transformations of Shadows" from within, the Shadow Pearl is the treasure of Liu Ren back then, which can assist the Shadow Physique to practice quickly." Ye Yu handed over the shadow bead and said.
"Since it can assist you in your quick practice, you can keep it." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!"
"Is there a killer organization related to the Shadow Hall?" Hong Zhan asked.
"No, the Shadow Hall is an independent killer organization, although this hall master has some means, but he is not rigorous enough. It seems that his methods are outstanding, but as long as he dies, the position of the hall master depends on this mask." Ye Yu took out the black mask and said with a smile.
"From today onwards, you are the Shadow Hall Master." Hong Zhan said.
Ye Yu put on a mask and responded: "Yes!"
"Who is the employer who assassinated me?" Hong Zhan asked.
"Yunzhou Mu, Gao Yuan." Ye Yu said.
"Gao Yuan?" Hong Zhan said solemnly.
Ye Yu nodded and said: "After we arrived at Huoyun City, the Shadow Hall went to negotiate with Gao Yuan again, and Gao Yuan promised to increase the employment price and ask the Shadow Hall to assassinate the emperor again, by the way, the four monks we pretended to be before were a group of killers who were recalled, and they were the ones who were preparing to assassinate us."
"Oh?"
"There are still a few killers on the way, if we don't strike first, the next assassination will make us defenseless." Ye Yu said.
"Gao Yuan? Oh, it seems harmless to humans and animals, but it is ruthless." Hong Zhan said with a cold face.
"A few days ago, the Shadow Hall secretly probed Gaoyuan's mansion and not only found a pool of real water in his house, but also saw a zombie hidden by Gao Yuan." Ye Yu said.
"Zombie? Gao Yuan took refuge in the Corpse God Sect?" Hong Zhan squinted.
"I also guessed so, and this explains his abnormal behavior." Ye Yu said.
Hong Zhan pondered for a while and said, "How long do you need to control the Shadow Hall?"
"What I am cultivating is the Nine Transformations of Shadows, no one can detect my abnormalities, just familiarize yourself with the people here, in a day, I can initially master the Shadow Hall, and I can deploy some resources of the Shadow Hall." Ye Yu said.
"You take over the Shadow Hall first, sort out the situation of Gaoyuan's mansion, and join me in a day." Hong Zhan said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Ye Yu responded.
An hour later, Hong Zhan took Lu Xiao and Lu Qi out of the Shadow Hall from another exit.
Lu Xiao said curiously: "Elder, don't you wait for Ye Yu to go together?"
"No, he has other things to do, and we have our things to do." Hong Zhan said.
"Where are we going?" Lu Xiao asked.
"When I go back to see Qianqian, I always feel that Shi Sen and his son have evil intentions, and it has been three days, and I don't know if Shi Sen and his son have shown their true faces." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!" Lu Xiao's expression tightened, and he hurriedly replied.
