Chapter 645: Out of Nothing, with a Bad Reputation
Of course, the security of the token cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely safe.
For cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage who have mastered the laws of space and time, they can still delay the use of the token by controlling the speed of the dissipation of their spiritual consciousness.
However, when they really reach that realm and cultivation level, there are too many ways for them to enter the formation, so why do they need to spend so much time and effort.
When each Fengliang Mountain cultivator enters the formation with a token, the guardian cultivator at the core of the formation will know where someone enters.
Usually, out of trust in this formation, they will not go there to search, but now that the war has started and the alert level has been raised, Li Yan's entry will immediately attract the attention of the guardian cultivators at the core of the formation.
They will immediately send a message to the nearby patrolling cultivators, and Li Yan also knows this, so he is not surprised.
These patrolling cultivators certainly know the function of the token, and can probably guess that this is the return of the cultivator who went out to participate in the war or perform other tasks.
It's just that it's their duty, so they still have to carefully question them.
Li Yan was also looking at the patrolling monks on the opposite side. He immediately felt the tense atmosphere here just by the increase in the number of people on the other side.
In the past, the patrol team consisted of twelve people in a group, all of whom were foundation-building monks. This time, it was led directly by two Jindan monks, with twenty members.
"Li Yan of the Qing 16th Team, you have returned from a mission!"
Li Yan raised the token in his hand and let several divine senses fall on it.
"Hehe, it's you. I saw you in 'Tonggui Ridge' a few days ago. Did you go out to perform a mission alone? The other members of your team have returned early!"
Several divine senses turned to Li Yan after a scan. The token was naturally real, so they focused their attention on Li Yan himself.
Among these divine senses, in addition to the divine senses of the two Jindan monks, there were also many patrol members. Li Yan just let it go when the monks of the same level scanned him like this, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face.
As soon as one of the Jindan cultivators' spiritual sense landed on Li Yan, he had already transmitted the message. He was a Jindan who participated in the "Tongguiling" battle four days ago and was now ordered to stay in Fengliang Mountain.
He had a deep impression of Li Yan. In that "Tongguiling" defense station, this kid killed about ten cultivators of the same level, and they were all demon cultivators.
So when he passed by the mountain of the Qing Sixteenth Team on patrol, he once scanned it with his spiritual sense, but did not find Li Yan's existence.
He thought that with Li Yan's identity, Wei Chongran might have protected him alone.
He never thought that this kid dared to go out to perform tasks during the war, which surprised him very much. Now the situation outside is that even their Jindan cultivators dare not go out alone.
This kid came back from outside alone. I don't know if he is lucky or ignorant, but he is really lucky to be able to return to Fengliang Mountain alive.
Li Yan naturally didn't know what this Jindan
was thinking. Even if he knew, he probably had no other explanation except a bitter smile.
This time, he was locked by a Yuanying stage cultivator for the second time. He circled around the gate of hell several times and was just one foot away from stepping in.
After confirming Li Yan's identity, the two Jindan cultivators had already flown with 20 people to a place ten feet in front of Li Yan and stopped.
"Report to the senior, I did accept a task from the master three days ago, but after completing the task, this place has become a battlefield, so I have been waiting until today to quietly return.
It's a scorched earth outside, and I don't know the situation inside the formation, so I had to find a remote place to enter."
Li Yan saluted the two Jindans respectfully.
One of them had a beard like a Jindan, and looked very powerful. He was looking at Li Yan with a smile on his face. He was the one who spoke just now.
Li Yan didn't notice that when he briefly mentioned the situation of the outer formation, many of the foundation-building cultivators flashed curiosity in their eyes, but no one asked aloud.
Beside the bearded Jindan cultivator was a stern-looking white-robed cultivator, with a sword box on his back.
"Sword cultivator, can Shibuyuan also participate in the battle here?"
This was the first thought that came to Li Yan's mind.
After listening to Li Yan's explanation, the bearded Jindan cultivator understood that Li Yan chose to enter from here out of caution.
With the core guarding cultivators of the formation, Li Yan's move could not be considered sneaking in, and there were other intentions. This was a move to prevent outsiders in the situation that Fengliangshan was very familiar with.
If this place has been captured, either the formation has collapsed, or there are cultivators resisting inside.
With the means of the four major sects, of course, they will not leave a formation that can resist the attack of the Nascent Soul to the other side.
Therefore, if this place has become a battlefield, Li Yan's sneaking in will at least not be easily discovered by the other side, which can also be regarded as a kind of protection for himself.
The bearded Jindan cultivator's lips moved slightly at this time, but no sound came out, while the white-robed sword cultivator on the side began to flash his eyes.
He just stared at Li Yan, and finally, annoyance appeared in his eyes.
Li Yan felt uncomfortable about this. He had obviously confirmed his identity. Why did this white-robed swordsman look at him like this? His eyes seemed to be full of contempt and disgust.
Among the cultivators behind him, several people nodded to Li Yan with a smile. Li Yan had met those people in Fengliang Mountain before, and they were nodding acquaintances.
The rest of the people were nervous, thinking that a new group of monks had been recruited.
When Li Yan took over the Qing Sixteenth Team, the back mountain teleportation array would continuously flash with light every day, and a large number of recruited monks would often be teleported over.
, it is normal not to know these people.
But after only three or four breaths, he still had no intention of letting Li Yan leave. Li Yan began to feel dissatisfied, and he was about to ask "if there is anything else."
At this moment, the white-robed swordsman spoke for the first time, and his voice sounded like gold and stone clashing, which sounded a bit harsh.
"When you return from a mission, you can just go to the formal entrance in front, why be so sneaky.
I heard that your killing methods are just eccentric, and you don't have any real skills. When you meet a truly powerful person of the same level, you may die a little faster.
After coming back, I quickly handed over the task and stayed in the cave honestly. Don't walk around randomly, you know! "
After saying that, he stared at Li Yan with a bit of contempt.
His words not only stunned Li Yan, but also the bearded Jindan monk.
He was just afraid that this person did not know Li Yan's identity, so he briefly explained Li Yan's identity and the methods he had used in the past few days. In his opinion, such juniors should be treated differently.
Unexpectedly, the person next to him said such words as soon as he spoke, and looked at Li Yan with an unfriendly look.
This was a big surprise to him, but he was also a man who had experienced battles for a long time, and he had already thought of a reason in his mind.
"What kind of relationship does this Jian Xiu Ding from the outer courtyard of the Shibu Academy have with the Sprite Sect?"
Although Li Yan was also stunned, he immediately thought of some reasons.
"This is looking for trouble with myself, but I don't know him. This is blaming the sect or other reasons on myself."
His face was calm, and he still answered respectfully.
"Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. I will obey your orders!"
He didn't want to have any verbal conflict with this kind of person, but he was already sneering in his heart.
He even dared to plot and kill a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core. What's more, he was a monk in the early stage of the Golden Core. If it was unfavorable to him, he would not care about the "following violations" rules.
Li Yan still likes to take action directly. What effect does taking advantage of words have on him? It just makes him pay more attention.
You have Shibuyuan's backing, doesn't he?
Now was the time for a battle with the demons. This man had clearly had a grudge against the Demon Clan before, and he had been giving him disciplinary words. Li Yan no longer had any good impressions of this man.
After Li Yan finished speaking, he bowed to the bearded Jindan monk, "In the past few days, I would like to thank you, senior, for taking care of me on the battlefield. I will keep this in my heart.
The junior still had tasks to report, and there was no longer any time to delay the senior's patrol, so he took his leave. "
After saying that, Li Yan never looked at the white-robed sword cultivator again and flew into the air towards the mountain peak where Wei Zhongran's cave was located.
He has many things in his heart
I originally wanted to ask the bearded Jindan monk about the matter, but now it seems that I can no longer ask.
I don’t know what happened to Master and the others, or whether they have returned. I should go and ask first.
The bearded monk's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to Li Yan, but he glanced at the white-robed monk with an ashen face beside him and could only smile bitterly in his heart.
The grievances of the four major sects have been accumulated from generation to generation. It is better for a monk from a small sect like him to get involved less.
The foundation-building monks behind him were even more arrogant and did not dare to breathe. They were also people with discerning eyebrows. How could they not see that the white-robed monk was not dealing with a junior.
Among this group of patrolling monks, I don’t know whether it’s because the white-robed monks are picky or for other reasons, but there isn’t even a single monk from the Sprite Sect in the team. Naturally, there won’t be anyone who feels sorry for the Sprite Sect.
The white-robed monk looked at Li Yan's retreating figure. There was a faint sound of swords in the sword box behind him. This junior's words seemed polite, but anyone could tell that he didn't take him seriously at all.
He thought that Li Yan would show an angry look, but due to his realm, he could only hold it in. He would take the opportunity to teach him a few words, which would make him feel more comfortable.
However, the other party seemed to be respectful, but was extremely disrespectful, which made his subsequent words choke in his throat, like a stick in his throat, and a feeling of hostility arose in his chest.
But after all, he did not teach Li Yan a lesson. If this person was really an ordinary disciple of the Demon Sect, although he would not kill him, he would definitely let him be punished.
However, the bearded monk had just told the origin of this person. This boy should be a core disciple of the Sprite Sect, and most importantly, a close disciple of that madman Wei Zhongran.
Among the four golden elixir monks, there are a few who are notoriously not to be messed with, and Wei Zhongran is the most difficult one among them.
He was just an ordinary Jindan cultivator from the outer courtyard of the Shibu Academy, and he was very familiar with Wei Zhongran's reputation. Even someone like the Sword King was unwilling to mess with him easily, and he didn't dare to do it openly.
Although he had an old grudge with the Demon Sect, he still squinted his eyes after careful consideration. The sword box behind him immediately became quiet. The bearded Jindan monk on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He was really afraid that this person would teach Li Yan a lesson. He was also worried about Li Yan's identity. He had heard of Wei Zhongran before, and he was someone he could not mess with.
And now he was even more unwilling to get involved. The impression that Wei Chongran, the fierce man, had left on him a few days ago was too terrifying. A fierce man who could fight with a Yuanying cultivator made him feel astonished and awed.
If this man from the Ten-Step Courtyard really took action, the bearded Jindan cultivator really didn't know whether to stop him or watch. He might hate him to the bone.
Who knew if Wei Chongran would find all the cultivators present? He would suffer an unprovoked disaster. Now it seemed that this sword cultivator from the Ten-Step Courtyard didn't dare to provoke the fat man.
