Chapter 916: The Past Is on My Mind
A group of monks shuttled through the corridor at high speed.
Both sides fell silent for a while, and there was an invisible pressure in the air, as if everything could explode at any time.
Just when they had just passed through the three corridors, Li Yan and his companions suddenly changed their expressions, and their flying speed immediately slowed down. .
In just a moment, a figure suddenly flew out in front, and behind him was a large group of two-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" pressing over in a black mass.
This person almost collided head-on with Li Yan and his companions.
The figure suddenly paused, and after both sides saw each other clearly, the person's expression showed some hesitation at first, but soon ran towards Li Yan and his companions.
"Fellow Daoists, fellow Daoists, I am Yan Tantuo. We have met before. Now we are all being chased by these monsters. Can we temporarily join forces to kill these monsters?
Afterwards, I can tell you all the details about this place, and then we can leave this place together."
The man saw a group of "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" behind Li Yan, pressing forward aggressively. He immediately thought that these cultivators were also being chased by "Dark Spirit Demon Bats".
He was already seriously injured, and he had been searching for a long time but couldn't meet Song Rongdao and his men. He knew that if this continued, he would die here soon.
What's more, with his own attainments in formation, even if he broke through the pursuit of "Dark Spirit Demon Bats", he would probably not be able to break the ban.
Who would have thought that he would meet the cultivators in the square here.
At that time, he also clearly saw that although these people said that this was their cave, they were also chased into the corridor by "Dark Spirit Demon Bats". Of course, the other party was just talking nonsense.
Now he saw that these people were also "fleeing in panic", followed by a large group of "dark spirit demon bats" chasing them.
He took the opportunity to propose to join them, and the other party would most likely agree.
After all, he was also a mid-level cultivator. Seeing the other party's eager escape, everyone would understand that one more person means more strength.
He even said that he knew the situation here, so that the other party would be reluctant to abandon him and want to get the exit from him.
He also guessed that the other party was most likely to have the same purpose as him and his group, that is, to come here to search for treasure.
As long as he could temporarily avoid being chased, he would be able to integrate with them with his eloquence, and then escape.
Li Yan and his group saw that it was a cultivator from Jiang Baibi's group. Xing Ming and Feng Mo Ru both cast their eyes on Li Yan. In their opinion, of course, it would be better to kill the other party directly.
But now they also vaguely knew that the "dark spirit demon bats" here wanted to force the invading cultivators into the final corridor, and there were some unknown purposes.
Therefore, the final decision was given to Li Yan, after all, he was the one who controlled the life and death of a powerful cultivator on the other side.
Li Yan also saw the person coming, of course, he snorted in his heart, and didn't want to pay attention to the other party at all.
He planned to fly straight over, but when he heard the other party's words clearly, he immediately stopped and stared at the flying cultivator.
"What did you say your name?"
Li Yan's question also made the flying cultivator surnamed Yan stunned, because the other party's focus was obviously incompatible with the current situation.
He carefully scanned the people on the opposite side again, all of whom were unfamiliar faces, and confirmed that he had never dealt with them.
"I am Yan Tantuo, could it be that fellow Daoist knows Yan, if so, that would be great!"
He felt that he had been in the border for many years, and it was possible that the other party had heard of his name.
Although he said so, his face showed a look of surprise, but in fact he was in doubt. The other party's tone made him wonder whether he was an enemy or a friend for a while.
Fearing that he had killed or raped the other party's relatives and friends.
Li Yan thought about it again in his heart and finally confirmed it in his heart.
"Yes, it is this name. Senior sister said that when she was trying to save me, she was almost captured by a Jindan cultivator."
Li Yan heard great hatred from Zhao Min's tone at that time.
He knew that Zhao Min had a cold personality and would kill the enemy if she killed him.
Even if the other party was stronger than her and chased her, she might not remember it in the future. If she couldn't beat him, she couldn't beat him.
But when she said the name "Yantantuo", Zhao Min's expression showed rare disgust and dislike.
Li Yan was scheming. After he asked Zhao Min a few more questions seemingly unintentionally, he knew that the man had lustful thoughts and wanted to possess Zhao Min.
So he wrote down the name.
"Oh, fellow Daoist Yan Tantuo, right? I have heard of your name!!
I remember that 23 years ago, I was invited by the owner of a cultivation villa on the border to capture a woman in white, but I ended up with nothing.
It is said that after being captured by Daoist, the woman was taken away instead of being handed over to the villa. Daoist caused me to lose a large amount of spiritual stones!"
Yan Tantuo was shocked at first, and then he chuckled.
Of course he remembered that incident. It was the origin of the woman in white that was unknown, and she had a very powerful poisonous insect in her hand. It was obvious that the poisonous insect was not something that ordinary cultivators could possess.
He hid from then on because he was afraid of the power behind her.
It turned out that this person was also invited by the cultivation family. In this case, the woman in white really escaped, and they actually thought that they had captured her and taken her away.
"Oh... I'm actually a fellow Taoist. What should I call you?
That incident was a false accusation against Yan. That woman had many vicious means. I was careless and was injured by her poisonous insect. I had to find a hidden place to heal my wounds.
I'm really ashamed to say that I was injured by a junior. So
I was embarrassed to return to the sect, so I went far away..."
He was happy in his heart. It would be best to get close to the other party as soon as possible. With his life at stake, he didn't think about hiding it anymore.
They communicated very quickly, and the distance between the two sides was very close.
But when he said this, Yan Tantuo suddenly found something wrong. The first thing he felt was that the atmosphere around him was wrong.
While he was approaching the other party quickly, "everything" in front of him stopped.
"No!"
Yan Tantuo hurriedly stopped flying and looked around, and then he found the reason for the problem.
The large group of "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" that were chasing the other party actually stopped behind those monks and did not take the opportunity to kill them.
Although the group of "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" behind him also surrounded him, they also slowed down and did not rush to kill him immediately.
Looking at the monks of the other party, especially the young man who was talking to him, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a cold smile that made him feel cold in his heart.
He immediately stretched out his finger and pointed at the other party with trembling.
"You...you...are you really the monks in this cave?"
The surrounding "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" strangely did not besiege him, and he thought of what the other party said in the square before.
He was surrounded by the other party, and Yan Tantuo felt that he fell into the bottomless abyss in an instant.
Then, he rolled his eyes and forced a smile.
At this time, he still thought that his biggest mistake was that he should not appear in the cave under the sea, which touched the other party's taboo.
Thus, he ignored Li Yan's previous words. The reason for his psychological state was that he was surrounded by heavy siege at the moment.
The scene of these cultivators and the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" coexisting strangely brought too much shock, so that he could not connect his dangerous situation with the young man's previous words.
"Fellow Daoists, I came here because I was forced by Song Rongdao. He is the owner of the "Black Forest Villa" and his cultivation is very strong.
I am just a casual cultivator, yes... yes, a casual cultivator. This fellow Daoist just said that I left the sect a long time ago.
Song Rongdao put a ban in my body, and I had to obey him. I am willing to take you to flatten the "Black Forest Villa"..."
Yan Tantuo said quickly. He wanted to gain the trust of the other party, so he never mentioned how many "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" he had killed.
Instead, he shifted the focus to Song Rongdao. If someone from the other party came to explore his internal situation, it must be a cultivator in the Jindan period.
He could still fight. Maybe he could capture one of the other party as a hostage, which would be better than sitting and waiting to die.
He also vaguely saw that the other party seemed to be mainly targeting this Jindan early stage cultivator. If he could get close to this person later, his chances of survival would be great.
He quickly calculated in his mind, but before he could finish his words, Li Yan on the opposite side suddenly waved his hand and chuckled.
"Hehe, I have only heard of this person's name, and I have no fate with him. You can do whatever you want, let's go!"
At the same time, he sneered in his heart.
"This is really the cycle of heaven. I thought I would never meet you again and couldn't avenge my senior sister. I didn't expect it to be so "fateful"! Humph, it's a pity that it's inconvenient to do it myself here."
"Daoyou... Daoyou..."
Yan Tantuo's urgent voice came over, but Li Yan was not willing to pay attention to him.
The other party's pleading and the resentful curses that followed were soon drowned in a burst of explosions.
Not only did the two-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" chasing him pounce again, but even the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" behind Li Yan also surrounded him with dozens of "Dark Spirit Demon Bats".
They were extremely angry about Li Yan's coercion, and now they saw that this man was not in the same group as him, and they could no longer suppress their anger.
…………
After half an incense stick, they came to another corridor. This corridor looked no different from the corridors that Li Yan and his friends had passed before.
It gave people the same feeling.
And it also had several forks. If Li Yan and his three friends came here, they would definitely fly over, and they would not find anything in their consciousness.
"Old Four, you...you go over and open the ban!"
Meng Zhiyuan said a little weakly, but when he said this, he hesitated in his eyes, and his glance at Li Yan was more vigilant.
The four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that had been following behind immediately flew out, but it just hovered in the air, looking at Li Yan and Meng Zhiyuan who was trapped by the long rope of spiritual power.
"Brother, just open the forbidden passage like this? When did you let my brother go?"
The first half of the sentence was said to Meng Zhiyuan, and the second half of the sentence was already staring at Li Yan with a pair of green eyes.
"Female?"
Li Yan glanced at the four-winged "Dark Spirit Demon Bat", although its appearance was still ferocious, but its voice was crisp and pleasant.
This time, Meng Zhiyuan had not spoken yet, Li Yan had already spoken.
"Fellow Daoists, you won't just take us to a random place and say we've found the exit. I don't see any hope of getting out.
In addition, putting everything else aside, even if an exit appears after you cast the spell, how can you guarantee where the opened exit leads to? What if you have a fourth final passage here?"
Li Yan's meaning is very clear. You don't believe us, but I don't believe you either.
"You... human cultivators are really cunning and changeable. We don't have as many tricks as you.
The exit here must be the exit. Where is the fourth final passage? How can you guarantee that we can rest assured!"
