And as the voice appeared, the beautiful landscape painting just now disappeared strangely, and the scroll was still there, but only a blank piece of paper remained.

Hearing the other party say this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped a handful of sweat droplets on his forehead, and did not hide the apprehension in his heart: "Yes, I did think twice before deciding to lift your seal, because I was worried that your words would not count." ”

"Worried that I'm going to break my promise?"

A hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of the man's mouth dressed as a scribe: "Are you worried that after the seal is lifted, I will do it to you?"

"Not bad. ”

The other man nodded.

"Hmm. ”

"It's honest. ”

The scribe nodded in approval, and suddenly, a strong demonic aura bloomed out of his body, and he smiled: "Don't worry, I am a demon clan, I like to do things straight, I don't have you human immortal cultivators, so many thoughts, I said, as long as you help me lift the seal, I will help you once, that will definitely talk and count." ”

"Tell me, what trouble did you encounter this time that made you take the risk of asking me to help?"

The demon cultivator looked indifferent, but his eyes could not hide his curiosity.

"That's ......"

The middle-aged man began to tell.

Half an hour later, he left the secret compound, the expression on his face much calmer.

This scroll was discovered by him under very unexpected circumstances.

Sealed inside is an extremely powerful demon clan.

No, to be precise, it's this ancient painting, which is a demon in itself.

Don't be surprised, the so-called demon clan actually refers to a very wide range, not only birds and beasts can cultivate, flowers and trees, even a painting, a stone, as long as it is a coincidence, it is also possible to go to the road of cultivating immortals.

Of course, compared to animals, other things have a much smaller chance of becoming youkai, and it is extremely difficult.

And although he doesn't know the origin of this ancient painting, it seems to be inextricably linked with the upper realm, and the monsters in the painting are also very powerful, and they seem to be equivalent to immortal cultivators at the level of transforming gods.

So he had never dared to break the seal before, but this time he had to take a risk for the sake of that generous reward.

Originally, my heart was full of apprehension.

was afraid that the other party would break his promise, but fortunately, he was lucky, and now that he got the other party's promise, he had enough confidence in his heart.

Of course, the news about Qin Yan and Ling'er that he revealed to the other party was not comprehensive, because he was worried that the monster in the painting would be greedy.

When the time comes, he will go to collect the bounty himself, won't he be busy in vain?

Middle-aged people naturally don't do such stupid things.

All he wants is for the other party to make a move, just catch the two of them.

Even if afterwards, the demon cultivator found out that something was wrong, found out that he was being used, and he had already gone away, what could he do?

The more the middle-aged man thought about it, the more proud he became, this was his trick, and both sides were calculated by him.

Now that everything is ready, just wait for the other party to arrive, and take the initiative to step into the trap under yourself.

......

Time passed quickly, and in the evening, the City Lord's Mansion was lit up, and Qin Yan and Ling'er arrived as promised.

Of course, both of them had performed the disguise technique, and the aura of spiritual pressure exuded by Qin Yan was not weaker than that of the immortal cultivators in the late Yuan Infant period.

This is the secret technique mastered by Ling'er, it is very magical, there is no flaw at all, and the higher level does not dare to say it, at least the few Yuanying monks in front of him will never be able to see through it.

With the blessing of this magical power, Qin Yan naturally had a little more confidence in his heart, knowing that the other party had bad intentions, he also brought Ling'er here, firstly to see what the other party's purpose was, and secondly, to see if he could harvest what he wanted?

For example, there are other clues related to ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays.

Although there are not many possibilities to obtain.

But what if you have such good luck, how do you know if you don't try it?

"The two Taoist friends are coming, and they are shining, and I am waiting to welcome them late, and I hope I don't blame them. ”

The three city lords were smiling, and they all greeted each other outside the mansion, and while the blue-robed old man spoke, he gave a deep salute and was extremely polite.

The two behind him also followed suit.

"A few fellow Daoists don't need to be so polite. ”

With a flick of Qin Yan's robe, an invisible force held up the movements of the three of them.

The other two are fine, the middle-aged man, who is silent on the surface, but in his heart he is annoyed and surprised, he is really an immortal cultivator in the late Yuan Infant period, could he be mistaken, isn't this kid in front of him Qin Yan?

So what's the point of this arrangement?

He couldn't help but flash a hint of frustration.

Soon, I adjusted my mentality again.

One is that the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be done, and the matter has come to this point, and there is no use in depression.

Second, I have adjusted my mentality, and I feel that it seems too early to draw conclusions now, and I will observe it first and then make a decision.

And what he didn't know was that his tiny mental activity had already fallen into Qin Yan's eyes.

It's not that Qin Yan's observation power is amazing, but that it comes from his natural supernatural powers as a demon king, mind reading skills.

Of course, the mind reading here does not mean that he can intuitively sense the thoughts in the other party's mind, but through the other party's body movements, some subtle expression changes, to sense, to guess.

It's not necessarily accurate, but it's hugely useful.

At least his doubts and chagrin were clearly felt by Qin Yan.

"As expected, is the other party really ill-intentioned?"

Qin Yan sighed in his heart and walked in quietly.

The city lord's mansion was decorated with lights, and the decoration was extremely grand and gorgeous, and soon, Qin Yan and Ling'er were invited to the banquet, and plates of delicious delicacies were placed on the table, as well as all kinds of spiritual wine and melons and fruits.

"Come, the first glass of wine, congratulations to this fairy on his successful promotion and entering the Yuan Infant Period. ”

The middle-aged man raised his glass.

Qin Yan and the others said some words of thanks and drank them all.

They weren't worried about the other party's tricks and feet in the wine, for the immortal cultivators of the Yuanying realm, this would only be self-defeating, and I believe that the other party would not be so stupid.

"This second glass of wine ......"

......

In this way, soon after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Qin Yan was not interested in delaying here more, and he was vain and wronged with the other party, so he opened his mouth bluntly.

"A few fellow Daoists invited us here, not just for a drink, you said that you wanted to explore the ruins of an ancient monk, and you also found clues related to the ultra-long-distance teleportation certificate inside, but is it true?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped drinking, and the middle-aged man frowned at first, but finally showed a hint of joy on his face.

Originally, when he saw that Qin Yan was really a great cultivator in the late Yuan Infant period, he was very skeptical that he had recognized the wrong person, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask this question, and deliberately mentioned the ultra-long-distance teleportation array.
