Chapter 490: Borrowing Formation
When Li Yan's consciousness swept through, the villa looked the same on the surface, but Li Yan sensed more than a dozen hidden auras in the villa, and they all seemed to be deliberately hiding.
Among these auras, there were no familiar Ding Yushan and his men. Li Yan guessed that most of Ding Yushan's team were killed or injured. Even if they went back to replenish, they might not be sent here again.
Among these dozen auras, Li Yan found a very strong golden elixir aura in a house in the northwest corner of the villa. This aura should be in the middle stage of the golden elixir. The rest were all foundation-building disciples, so it was easy to judge that this person was the leader.
Li Yan had already performed the "stealth and night hiding" technique. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, unless the "gray copper coin" of the Pure Land Sect in his hand lost its effect when he went to find the teleportation array later, and it was estimated that the disciples there would send a message to this person.
What Li Yan didn't know was that things were different now. When he first came here, whenever he encountered a patrol team, he only needed to take out the "grey copper coin" and the other party would let him go after verifying the authenticity. But now the world of immortal cultivation has changed a lot.
Just as Li Yan flew away from Beiling Villa, in the room in the northwest corner of Beiling Villa, a middle-aged cultivator in a black robe suddenly opened his eyes from meditation.
"Hmm? It seems someone was spying here just now. If I hadn't been practicing divination and my soul had reached a state of selflessness, I wouldn't have sensed it at all.
If he could escape my consciousness, then this person's cultivation level must be at least the same as mine.
However, he just passed by quickly and left quietly. I didn't feel any evil from the hexagram. Could this person really be passing by unintentionally?
No, now let alone Jindan, even the foundation-building cultivators have received the summons. How could there be a cultivator here?"
The monk in the black robe thought about it and shook his head again, "There is another possibility, that is, this Jindan cultivator is ordered to perform a certain task..."
For a moment, the middle-aged cultivator gave up the idea of chasing after him. He was only ordered to take over the position of the Jindan cultivator who stayed here a year ago.
He only needs to wait for another half a year before he can go back and hand in the task. This is also the "wait and see" method of the three major sects for the demon strongholds.
The monk in black robe was very confident in his divination skills. He did sense the breath of the human race in the divination just now, and the other party's cultivation level was similar to his own. If it was really a demon, he might not be as strong as the other party...
Thinking of this, the monk in black robe completely gave up the idea of pursuing. Not all human monks wanted to kill the demon monks.
Just like this monk in black robe, he was sent here and was already dissatisfied. Although his cultivation level was not low, he was not good at fighting. He was more of a recuperator.
People with the mentality and pursuit of the longevity path are the worst type of monks in the golden elixir.
On weekdays, if it is said to deal with a Qi Condensation or Foundation Building, it is still not a problem, but if you meet a monk of the same level, you often have to go as far as possible.
The monk in black robe also knew that because he had waited here for more than a year without finding anything unusual, he was sent here as a substitute because the war was tense and capable Jindan monks were needed. Otherwise, it would be better for him to refine pills and plant them and supply pills.
After flying over Beiling Villa, Li Yan did not fly directly to the teleportation array, but made a big circle and reappeared after flying more than 2,000 miles away. He still suppressed his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building and then flew to the teleportation array.
The teleportation array was only about 500 miles away from Beiling Villa. This range must be under the control of the Jindan monk in the villa.
The reason why he did not mind the trouble and went to investigate the situation in Beiling Villa at a close distance was that he was worried that Beiling Villa would fall into the hands of the demons again.
Although the possibility of this happening was very small, Li Yan was not afraid of trouble at all. He just followed his plan and walked step by step in an orderly manner.
The result was just as Li Yan expected, so now he could think of a way to borrow the teleportation array.
When he just flew into the vicinity of the teleportation array, the consciousness of the black robe Jindan had already locked him firmly, and scanned Li Yan inside and out several times.
Finally, it was confirmed that Li Yan was a human cultivator, but seeing the direction Li Yan was flying, the black robe Jindan cultivator immediately became alert.
"He is just a foundation-building kid, but he looks like he is flying towards the teleportation array, as if he knows there is a teleportation array there. Is he a human cultivator controlled by the demons?"
The black robe Jindan began to hesitate in his heart. After his consciousness repeatedly scanned Li Yan several times, when he felt that this cultivator had no idea that his consciousness was locked, he aroused some other thoughts.
If Li Yan showed that he was aware of being spied on at this time, the black robe cultivator would hesitate whether to intervene. In the black robe cultivator's opinion, his life might be in danger.
After confirming that Li Yan's cultivation was not as good as his, and that the direction he was heading was exactly one of the two places he needed to monitor, the monk in black robe was actually a little happy.
If he could really find a spy of the demon clan, or the remnant of the demon clan, and then capture them at once, then he would have made a great contribution this time
, and then he would definitely get the reward from the higher-ups.
So, the monk in black robe immediately flashed and disappeared from the houses of Beiling Mountain Villa.
Li Yan suddenly raised his brows while flying, but there was still nothing strange on the surface, and he flew towards the teleportation array as usual.
"The Golden elixir monk came out as expected. He is suspicious of himself."
Li Yan was not surprised by this. When Ding Yushan took him to see the location of the teleportation array, he had said that even if the teleportation array was not destroyed, the Pure Land Sect would send monks to station here. He flew there in such a grand manner. , it would be strange not to attract anyone’s attention.
After another cup of tea, when Li Yanfei was still a hundred feet away from the teleportation array, a breeze suddenly blew in front of him, and then a soap-robed monk and two young monks appeared.
This change caused Li Yan to stop abruptly. He first showed an appropriate expression of surprise on his face, and then quickly stepped back more than ten feet. He had already put one hand on his chest to protect him, and stared closely at the three people who suddenly appeared in front of him. Man, he looks very alert.
In fact, in his consciousness, there were five foundation-building monks hiding in ambush next to the teleportation array in the distance, staring closely at this place.
In addition to the two young monks behind the soap-robed monk, there are actually four fake alchemy monks here. From this, we can guess that the Pure Land Sect still attaches great importance to this place.
Seeing Li Yan react so nervously, the soap-robed monk couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied. Everything was under his control. In addition, there was no bloody disaster in today's divination, and he was even more confident.
But his face was as cold as ice, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Then the soap-robed monk stared into Li Yan's eyes for a moment with a look that he thought could see through everything, and then the golden elixir aura surged from his body.
Next, Li Yan's reaction made the soap-robed monk even more proud.
Li Yan seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure of the soap-robed monk. His face immediately turned pale, and he took a few steps back again before speaking in a trembling voice.
"Senior, late... junior Jiang... Jiang Hai, I... I... I was passing by here, oh... no, but... I wanted to use the teleportation array here..."
Before Li Yan could finish his words, not only Zaopao Jindan was shocked, but also the two people behind him and a few people who were ambush in secret were stunned for a while.
"Have the demons become so rampant now? Are they using a foundation-building monk as a guide to come here to find out the news?"
But this thought only flashed in everyone's mind, and then they felt that this was too ridiculous, and there must be something hidden.
The golden elixir in the soap robe only has a character flaw, and he can condense the golden elixir. How can he be such a stupid person when he has reached this point? After his face froze, he shouted in a deep voice.
"Oh? Have you ever used this formation before?"
His question was also clever. He didn't ask how Li Yan knew there was a teleportation array here. Instead, he simply assumed that Li Yan had used the teleportation array here.
If Li Yan answered "yes", he would have fallen into his trap. Then he would hit the snake and follow the stick, asking for more details, which made Li Yan want to deny it again.
If Li Yan answered "no", then how did he know that there was a teleportation array here?
When Li Yan heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart. He had already made a plan, but when he saw the soap-robed monk's forbidding eyes, he first shrank his neck, then swallowed his saliva, and said in a harsh voice.
"I...I have never used it, but...I know it."
The soap-robed monk didn't understand his answer for a moment. He didn't want to waste time with a monk who was so scared that he couldn't even speak clearly. At this moment, he had already begun to plan to "search for souls".
The "soul search" spell can only be practiced by monks above the Golden Core level. It is the most direct and reliable method for querying news and intelligence.
But for the person whose soul is being searched, it is like having his memory stripped away from his life. It is so miserable that more than 99% of the people will die in the end, with less than 10% chance of survival, but they will definitely become an idiot.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll give you one last chance, otherwise..." After all, the soap-robed monk was not one of those golden elixirs who lived in the blood rain all year round, so he still held back his anger.
"Yes, yes, senior, it's like this, my... master traveled around here two years ago, killed an enemy in a villa, and finally rescued a patrol sent by the Pure Land Sect. Monk.
Since my master and I are from a small sect and live in this remote place, it is quite inconvenient for us to go out sometimes. In the end, our master made a note of this teleportation array.
The master also made an agreement with the monks that if the teleportation array is still there in the future and they need to borrow it, they can be accommodating, which will be regarded as their repayment for saving lives. "
Li Yan seemed to be frightened by the other party's harsh words, but this time he spoke more eloquently.
Everyone was surprised by Li Yan's answer, and fell silent for a while.
"Your Majesty? Was it two years ago?" After a moment, the soap-robed monk frowned and asked.
"Yes, senior! I should have found the correct location when my master described it to me." Li Yan's pale face recovered a little as the other party's expression softened.
