Chapter 147: Unexpected Encounter
Su Hong should have gone to another business a few days ago, but she didn't leave immediately, and stayed in this market for a while.
She came to Qingqing Continent to train, but Su Hong's training was different from that of ordinary cultivators. It was not killing all day, but to get familiar with more things in the business.
Since Shuang Qingqing left that day, as a long-term habit, Su Hong immediately sent people to secretly watch the Tianling Clan.
After spending some money, she also got some news from the people of the Tianling Clan, but it was not very useful, especially the news about the Nascent Soul cultivators.
If she didn't use high-level cultivators, it would be impossible to get too much news about high-level cultivators.
To inquire about the whereabouts and news of a great cultivator, it would require the approval of the upper echelons of the clan. "Guiqulaixi" is just a business alliance and will not rashly offend a strong force.
The news that Su Hong finally found out was that the great elder Shuang Fengyan had returned to the clan.
And it is said that after Shuang Fengyan and Shuang Qingqing met once, Shuang Fengyan actually gave the clan a place full of spiritual energy for cultivation, and then nothing happened again.
"It's really strange. Why did Shuang Qingqing come to inquire about Shuang Fengyan's news? At that time, he had to hire a Yuanying stage cultivator to fight with others. All this doesn't make sense?
Li Yan sent a jade slip saying that he only needed to send the news that he and Zhao Min were safe back to the Wild Moon Continent, and Wei Chongran didn't need to find someone to look for them. They would go back on their own.
This shows that they must have a way to go back, and they are very sure. Could it be that Shuang Fengyan or Shuang Qingqing escorted them back?
Who did Shuang Qingqing want to deal with before, and how did Li Yan and Zhao Min know Shuang Fengyan? What is going on..."
Su Hong had a headache for a while, and soon fell into deep thought!
Although she was able to find out some information, this time it involved a Yuanying cultivator, and ordinary scouts could not be very detailed.
This requires Su Hong to judge by the most common method, that is, to inquire about the news from many parties, and then analyze the results by combining all kinds of information. This process is the most headache-inducing.
And the news she inquired this time was basically the things that Shuang Fengyan tampered with the memories of the tribesmen. Even if she spent more spirit stones, it would only make her more confused!
In the extreme west of Qingqing Continent, there are large canyons all over the land, with gullies and steep mountains. Most of the mountains are dominated by low black and gray vegetation.
From the air, it looks like a huge black monster standing or lying, standing between heaven and earth.
On this day, a ray of light passed through the sky and fell into a large canyon below.
When the light converged, revealing two of them, Li Yan and Zhao Min walked down from the "Piercing Cloud Willow", and the "Piercing Cloud Willow" automatically turned into a green light and flew into Li Yan's waist.
"There are really not too many cultivators around here!"
Zhao Min retracted her consciousness. They flew from the southern end of Qingqing Continent for almost a month to get here. <
br>
During this month, they did not rest and traveled day and night.
After confirming the time with Shuang Qingqing, they wondered if they could return to the Tianling Clan in about three months so that they could return to the Huangyue Continent in advance.
At this time, Li Yan had returned to the early stage of the Golden Core, and Zhao Min's cultivation had also hidden in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Although her mana was not smooth and free, as long as the opponent was not too much higher than her, it was difficult to judge her true cultivation.
"In the last seven or eight days, we flew for half a day to occasionally meet one or two cultivators. Most of those who came to the extreme west came for the underground secret cave of the 'Soul Prison Clan'.
According to Su Hong, the token to enter the underground secret cave costs 10,000 low-priced spirit stones, and not all cultivators are willing to be cheated.
After all, this place has been open to the public for too many years. The biggest possibility is to return empty-handed, which is not worth the loss!"
Li Yan looked down at the path leading to the bottom of the canyon under his feet.
Clusters of bushes grew on both sides of the path, like dark green hedgehogs spreading and crouching on the mountains on both sides.
At the end of the path, there was a dark cave entrance about fifty feet below them, like a monster's huge mouth waiting for prey to enter.
While the two talked, their figures did not stop, and they floated forward quickly without touching the ground.
The dark cave entrance emitted a cold and chilly air. Although the cave looked pitch black, it had no effect on Li Yan and Zhao Min at all.
Even if the two did not use their spiritual sense, they could clearly see everything within a hundred feet with their eyesight.
The cave was full of strange rocks, and there were places that could only allow one person to pass. If an ordinary mortal walked in, he would be hit by the branches and rocks growing in the cave and bleed.
The two quickly "threw" into the dark cave entrance. After walking down in the dark cave for about ten miles, a bright yellow light suddenly appeared in front of them, illuminating the surroundings.
It was a bright yellow light shield of ten feet in size, with yellow spiritual energy flowing on the surface of the shield, like fish swimming back and forth.
"Formation restriction!"
Li Yan and Zhao Min looked at each other. Su Hong gave them not only two tokens of the "Soul Prison Clan" secret cave, but also a jade slip.
The jade slip recorded how to enter the "Soul Prison Clan" secret cave and some matters that need to be paid attention to.
Just when Li Yan and the two were approaching the bright yellow light shield, a cold voice suddenly came from the front. The voice was so erratic that it was difficult for people to sense where it came from.
"Show your entry token, otherwise you will hand over 20,000 low-level spiritual stones. Otherwise, you will go back to where you came from, and you are not allowed to move forward even half a step!"
The sound echoed in the cave,
However, Li Yan and Zhao Min did not notice the person who made the sound at all.
"He is within the restriction of the formation!"
Li Yan sent a message to Zhao Min, and he knew that Zhao Min had developed a habit.
As long as she is with her, even if she detects the target in her consciousness, she will wait for her to confirm it for the last time.
Li Yan and Zhao Min didn't say anything, a green light flashed in their hands, and a token appeared in each hand.
At this moment, the expressions on Li Yan and Zhao Min's faces moved. They immediately turned around at the same time and looked at the way they came from just now. Their spiritual power also fluctuated faintly.
After about ten breaths, I heard a sound of piercing the air coming from the cave, and then, a somewhat seductive voice came over.
"Sure enough, he is also a golden elixir monk!"
Li Yan and the others had actually sensed each other for a long time. Even if the monks were not fighting, their spiritual consciousness would usually be around a thousand feet away.
This distance usually allows one to react in a crisis and detect the surrounding situation in advance.
Just now, both parties sensed each other's presence, and vaguely guessed from their aura that the other party was a Golden Core cultivator.
Therefore, he did not further scan the other party with his spiritual consciousness, which might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Now that the distance is getting closer and closer, the energy generated by the body-protecting spiritual power on both sides is very obvious, and the induction becomes clearer.
"Huh? Why is it him!"
Zhao Min's somewhat unexpected voice suddenly came from Li Yan's heart.
At this moment, five figures fell rapidly from above and stopped immediately when they were still more than a hundred feet away from Li Yan and Zhao Min.
This distance is actually very dangerous for both parties.
The cave was curved, and these people could only stop after turning the last corner.
"Why are you?"
Among the five people who came, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded.
Li Yan looked at the five people with a calm expression. They were old and young, four men and one woman.
At the front is a very revealingly dressed woman, about thirty years old, which is when a woman is most attractive.
A set of tight sleeveless corset tightly wrapped the curvaceous body, exposing a large area of snow-white mountain peaks, white lotus-like arms and the lower part of the slender thighs.
Since the corners of the cave were not wide, they kept some distance between them and formed a formation of filing in.
Behind the woman was a skinny, black old man, and then a man of short stature who was completely shrouded in a black cloak. Judging from his exposed hands, he should be a man.
A little further back, there was a hunchbacked man who seemed to be about fifty years old. A pair of sinister eyes kept scanning Zhao Min and Li Yan.
The last person to speak turned out to be an acquaintance of Li Yan.
<
br> He is thin, with dark blue skin. He wears a square scarf hat on his head, a string of jade beads on his wrist that is very eye-catching, and his facial features are elegant and feminine.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I can meet fellow Taoist Wustu in this far west place!"
The man who looked like a scribe turned out to be Ustu from the giant wood tribe.
"It's really fate, Zhang... Dao... friend!"
The moment Wustu saw Li Yan, his face twitched a few times. He was tortured by the weird poisonous pain for half a month, which made him miserable.
So far, he can only guess that he was poisoned after entering the other party's courtyard, but he still can't figure out how he was poisoned, and what kind of poison was he?
"Oh, Wustu, do you know these two fellow Taoists?"
As soon as the two sides spoke, the hunchbacked man who had been glancing at Li Yan and Zhao Min suddenly said coldly.
Li Yan immediately noticed that just when the hunchbacked man spoke, the other people moved instantly.
There was a vague tendency to surround Wustu, and he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and immediately sent a message to Zhao Min.
"let's go!"
He already had some guesses, so he pulled Zhao Min, and the spiritual power in their bodies stimulated the token in their hands, and then a large area of green light came out of the token in their hands.
The next moment, these blue lights enveloped the two of them, forming a blue light mask outside them in an instant.
Immediately, Li Yan and the two stepped on the ground, turning into two green lights and flying towards the bright yellow light shield in front of them at extremely fast speeds.
As soon as the green light came into contact with the bright yellow mask, Li Yan and Zhao Min felt that the token in their hands suddenly disappeared.
With just one breath, the two of them felt their feet shake and they stepped on the hard ground.
The scene in front of me suddenly became brighter. Although the light was still not too bright, it was no longer dark, and the vast land was illuminated in dim light.
This place can no longer be said to be a cave. The roof of the cave above has also disappeared. What appears in the sky is a dark patch, like a huge black curtain covering the sky.
At a glance, the sky above is at least several thousand feet above the ground, and the earth is an endless desolate desert. The dim light comes from those countless grains of sand.
Far and near, there are many ruined walls and palace columns standing or falling down, showing that there were many megalithic buildings here.
At this moment, there is no intact building in sight. The standing pillars are either tilted or broken and smashed into the desert, with cracks all over them.
The black boulders exposed on the ground are half-buried in the sand, with only a long or short part exposed, like a broken spear piercing the sky.
This scene extends to the distance, making it impossible to know where the sky is.
Under the reflection of the dim light, everything here is like an abandoned dynasty under the sunset, making people feel boundless loneliness and solitude from the bottom of their hearts!
