Chapter 395 Yongning
Longmu Island.
A towering tree stands in the center of the island, with its branches and roots intertwined, like a winding dragon. This is the legendary dragon tree, and Longmu Island is named after it.
Under this towering dragon tree, the closest to the main trunk is an open space. At this time, many scattered figures can be vaguely seen on this open space, some gathered, some scattered, some gathered together, as if they were discussing something.
Among them.
On one side, there are about a dozen figures, headed by Yan Hong.
"Your Highness, this is Grandmaster Liu Qingyan of the Hehuan Sect, who is also going to explore the Xunmu Cave Heaven."
Yan Zhengyang led a young and beautiful woman to introduce her to Yan Hong. When Yan Hong heard that Liu Qingyan was from the Hehuan Sect, she did not show any disgust. She nodded at Liu Qingyan with a normal look and said, "If Grandmaster Liu is willing to go with us, our team will have more confidence."
Liu Qingyan smiled indifferently and said, "I don't need much. I can get it with three catties of Xunmu Spirit Liquid."
The Hehuan Sect did not pay much attention to the Xunmu Cave Heaven this time, so she was the only one who participated. Naturally, she was not sure that she could get any benefits in Xunmu Cave Heaven by herself, so she naturally had to find a team to join forces.
"Three catties?"
Yan Hong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "No more, no less. If the trip goes smoothly, it should be enough for Grandmaster Liu."
There is not a lot of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid in Xunmu Cave Heaven. Three catties is already a large amount. Only when the operation goes extremely smoothly can everyone get three catties. However, now that she is recruiting people, she naturally tries to be as positive as possible.
Liu Qingyan also knows this. It is not easy to get three catties of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid, but in exchange for the top-grade Dinghai Pearl, she needs a full three catties of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid. More is better. In her judgment, Yan Hong's team is the most suitable to join. After all, she is familiar with half of the members, and she has some friendship with two of them.
In any case, even if she can't get three catties of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid in the end, after leaving Xunmu Cave Heaven, many grandmasters will come to Longmu Island to trade with each other. She can also try to use some of her own resources to exchange for a certain amount of Xunmu Spiritual Liquid with others.
Of course.
The premise is that the trip to Xunmu Cave Heaven can go smoothly.
Although there are nearly a hundred masters gathered on Longmu Island, the spirit people in Xunmu Dongtian are not easy to deal with. The main reason is that the ancestor of the spirit people is a person who is comparable to the existence of the blood exchange realm and has a very strong deterrence.
After a brief discussion with Yan Hong, Liu Qingyan also joined Yan Hong's team. In this way, Yan Hong's team has a full fourteen people. Although it is not the largest among the many master teams present, it is already a very eye-catching force.
Buzz! !
Suddenly a buzzing sound came, attracting the attention of many people in the field.
Then a naked upper body, dark golden skin, walked from a distance. Every step he took made the nearby heaven and earth power vibrate, and the surging aura contained in his body made people feel depressed.
"So strong."
Many masters flashed their eyes when they saw the newcomer.
Even Yan Hong looked at him sideways.
Yan Zhengyang stood to one side, looked at him intently, and then whispered: "It should be Master Zong Gang from Haiyu Island. He practices the secret hard and soft body, and is a top-notch master in the outer sea, not inferior to the peerless master of our Daxuan."
Peerless master!
This is a figure standing at the top of the master. There are only more than ten of them in the vast Daxuan Ninety-Nine States. They are almost the strongest existence below the blood exchange realm. They are even qualified to hold on or even escape from the blood exchange realm.
In fact, this is already extremely strong. Most masters have no power to resist against real blood exchange realm figures. Being qualified to resist a move or a half, and being able to escape without dying is enough to make a name for oneself. Monsters like Chen Mu, who can truly compete with blood exchange in the marrow washing realm, are rare in a thousand years.
"Master Zong Gang..."
Yan Hong narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although it was the first time she met him in person, she was not unfamiliar with the title. As far as she knew, the King of Jin, who was ranked first in the Daxuan Grandmasters' Genealogy, had fought with Master Zong Gang in the outer sea in the past, and the battle ended in a draw.
She did not have a good relationship with King Jin, but this did not prevent her from knowing King Jin's strength. Before Chen Mu was born, King Jin, who entered the Dao with Yin and Yang, was the first Grandmaster of the Ninety-Nine States of Daxuan, and no one in the Marrow Cleansing Realm could beat him.
"Master Zong Gang, you are here too."
Just as Master Zong Gang stepped into the arena with a dragon-like and tiger-like step, suddenly another calm voice came, and a thin figure was seen in the distance, walking with his hands behind his back, and every step he took seemed to have a flash of five-colored lotus, and the whole person approached quietly.
Yan Hong and others were not unfamiliar with the person who came this time, and it was not the first time they had seen him.
Five Elements Dao Sect.
Hong Shida!
The sixth in the world's Grandmasters' Genealogy!
He entered the Dao with the complete five elements and cleansed his marrow, mastered the five elements, and cultivated the five elements to a state of perfection. In the five elements, except for the existence of the blood exchange realm, he has reached the extreme.
"Master Hong, how are you?"
Master Zong Gang turned his head to look at Hong Shida, but he laughed.
Hong Shida stepped closer and nodded slightly to Master Zong Gang. The two walked together. It seems that they are not only familiar with each other, but also want to join hands to find the opening of the wood cave.
Not far away.
Yan Hong looked at this scene with a frown.
Longmu Island summoned many masters to gather together to explore Xunmu Cave Heaven. It is indeed a good thing that many masters from Daxuan and the outer sea are strong enough. After all, the Lingren tribe is the enemy that everyone must face together.
But if all is said and done, the reason why everyone is exploring Xunmu Cave is to compete for resources, it will be fine before the ancestor of the Lingren clan is solved. If everyone joins forces to repel or injure the ancestor of the Lingren clan, then it will undoubtedly become your fight. I won the situation.
Hong Shida and Master Zong Gang, two peerless masters, join forces. In a place like Xunmu Cave Heaven where the blood exchange realm cannot be entered, they are undoubtedly a very serious threat. Even the seven or eight top masters may not be taken seriously by them.
In her team, there are only three people who are worthy of the top masters, and the others are slightly inferior.
If her brother King Yan were here and there was another peerless master taking the lead, her confidence would undoubtedly be much stronger. Now, facing a powerful alliance like Hong Shida and Master Zong Gang, it would be inevitable to give in.
"It's a good thing to have the two of them here. After all, the ancestor of the Lingren tribe is not a mere idler."
Yan Zhengyang spoke in a low voice from the side.
It is not good for those who enter the Xunmu Cave to be too strong, and it is not good to be too weak. If they are too strong, they will fight among themselves if they run wild. If they are too weak, they will be hunted by the spirit people, so they can only hide in the Xunmu Cave. Hide and explore for spiritual objects.
"Um."
Yan Hong nodded thoughtfully.
Although she understood what Yan Zhengyang meant, the three top masters still seemed a little weak to her.
Just then.
Her eyes suddenly moved slightly, and she looked in a distant direction, and saw a young figure in that direction, dressed in ordinary cloth, strolling nearby, looking around and looking at the towering dragon tree crown in the center.
As soon as he saw this visitor, Yan Hong's eyes suddenly flashed a little, and he took the initiative to take a few steps forward, greeted him, and said: "Brother Mu, I haven't seen you for many days, I thought you wouldn't come. "
The young man strolling over was none other than Chen Mu.
After he set off from Yunmu Island, he rushed to Longmu Island non-stop. Now it was almost the last two days of the invitation from the master of Longmu Island, and he was also rushing to come here at this time.
"I can't help but have a hand in such lively things as Xunmu Cave Heaven."
Seeing Yan Hong approaching, Chen Mu also slightly cupped his hands. After saying hello, he turned his gaze to the field and took a rough glance. He sensed that the qi of at least hundreds of masters were gathered here, and his eyes also reflected. There was a little glimmer of light.
Although the Bingzhou Diyuan was opened before, and there were almost hundreds of Hanbei Grandmasters who went to the Diyuan, the overall quality was not as good as the Xunmu Cave opened this time.
In his perception, among the masters present, there were almost no weak Qi machines!
At least they are all masters who are comparable to the level of Feng Hongsheng and Shi Zhenyong. Among them, there are many top masters who are comparable to Jiang Changsheng, and there are no fewer than twenty or thirty masters. There are even peerless masters such as Master Zonggang and Hong Shida who have not yet been seen in Hanbei.
When Yan Hong heard Chen Mu's words, he couldn't help but smile and said: "At Brother Mu's current level, we don't need many things, but the collections on Longmu Island and Tingchao Cliff are still quite extensive... I think Brother Mu looks like You came here alone, and you probably don’t know much about Xunmu Cave. After all, Xunmu Cave is very dangerous, so why not join forces with us?”
Speaking of which.
Yan Hong paused and said a little apologetically: "To be honest, Yan Hong is a commonly used pseudonym in the past. My surname is actually Ji. My name only has the character "Hong", which is quite famous in Beijing."
If you want to invite Chen Mu to join forces to explore Xunmu Cave, then naturally you can't interact with each other under a pseudonym like before. Although Chen Mu's true origin is still unclear, it is obviously impossible to gain Chen Mu's trust without revealing his true identity.
"It turns out to be His Highness Yongning, sorry."
Chen Mu was not surprised when he heard Yan Hong reveal his identity and slightly arched his hands towards her.
Ji Hong.
He had heard of this name, and even mentioned Yan Hong casually to Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying a few days ago, and both women guessed who it was and told Chen Mu about Ji Hong. a lot of information.
There were many princes and princesses in the dynasty, but only eight of them were named 'Kings'. There were also very few who were named 'Princess' by the Jin Dynasty, only nine. Ji Hong was one of them, with the title of 'Yongning'. '.
The Daxuan Dynasty respected martial arts. The princes and princesses who were named kings or princesses in the past dynasties were often only Only when you become a master and enter the realm of marrow cleansing can you be qualified to be crowned a king or princess by the Jin Dynasty.
Ji Hong is not the eldest son, she belongs to a relatively remote lineage among many royal daughters, and her mother-in-law does not have much background power. However, after all, she relied on her own talent and martial arts to become a master, and was awarded the title of 'Yongning'. Now she is still in charge of the imperial court. As the deputy chief of the Demon Slayer General Division, he has suppressed many demon rebellions and has a good reputation both inside and outside the imperial court.
Yan Hong smiled at Chen Mu and said: "Brother Mu, there is no need to be polite. You are doing jianghu things in the world, and the title is just a false name. In this world, martial arts is respected, so brother Mu still calls me 'Miss Yan'." ”
Hear this.
Chen Mu couldn't help but smile. He originally didn't plan to go with anyone. He even saw Liu Qingyan, the Hehuan Grandmaster, and didn't plan to go over to say hello. However, Yan Hong's words were quite in line with his temperament, and Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nongying did not have a map or more detailed information about Xunmu Cave, so they nodded after a little consideration.
"It would be disrespectful for me to accept the compliment."
"Okay, Brother Mu, please."
Seeing Chen Mu agreed, Yan Hong also smiled.
Although Chen Mu's origins were still a little unclear, it was not critical. First, only Grandmasters could enter Xunmu Dongtian. Second, in Xunmu Dongtian, the Spiritual People were the common enemy of everyone. There were already three trustworthy top Grandmasters in her team. Even if Chen Mu's origins were unknown, it didn't matter if he was not trustworthy. After all, he could not be a member of the Spiritual People.
In addition, Chen Mu's own strength was not bad. Even if Chen Mu had never been seen in full force during the previous journey, he was definitely a Grandmaster at the top level. In this way, there were four top Grandmasters in the team. Even if they encountered some dangerous situations in Xunmu Dongtian, they would be more confident in dealing with them.
Soon.
Yan Hong led Chen Mu to the front of Yan Zhengyang and others.
"This is Master Yan Zhengyang, who is also the deputy chief of the Demon Slaying Division. This is Master Wei Shuxian, who comes from the righteous sect 'Tian Shouge' canonized by the court. This is..."
Yan Hong briefly introduced the identities of the masters to Chen Mu. Most of them came from Zhongzhou, or had a close relationship with the royal family, or were supporters of her lineage.
Although Yan Hong was not one of the eight kings, as one of the canonized princesses, she was actually qualified to inherit the throne. In the history of Daxuan for more than a thousand years, there was also a generation of female emperors. That was the only one among the many bloodlines of the royal family at that time who entered the blood exchange realm and was qualified to inherit the throne, and also intended to compete for the throne, and finally reached the highest position.
The blood exchange realm and the marrow washing realm are two completely different heights.
It can be said that among the eight kings today, if anyone enters the blood exchange realm, then the other seven will find it difficult to compete with him, and it is almost certain that he will succeed to the throne!
Similarly, if Yan Hong could see through life and death, enter the blood exchange realm, and intend to compete for the throne, then he would definitely have the qualifications and confidence, and even have more advantages than the eight kings who did not enter the blood exchange.
However.
It is too difficult to cultivate to the blood exchange realm.
Often, among ten or even twenty masters, it is difficult for one to see through life and death and enter the blood exchange realm.
Under Yan Hong's introduction, Yan Zhengyang and other masters also greeted Chen Mu one by one. Although they all came from Zhongzhou, and there were also powerful figures among them, but this world is based on strength after all. In everyone's perception, Chen Mu almost did not leak any aura. This degree of breath-retaining method alone is undoubtedly quite extraordinary, and few people present can do it.
Therefore, whether it is Yan Zhengyang or Wei Shuxian and others, they are all very polite.
After a brief introduction, Yan Hong took out a map of the internal situation and structure of Xunmu Dongtian that she had, and handed it to Chen Mu for review.
