"Fellow Taoist Yunluo is interested. Yuan doesn't like this kind of spiritual wine. Taoist friend, you should enjoy this wine yourself. I still have a lot of things to prepare, so I'll go and get busy first." Yuan Ming interrupted her and found someone.
He ended the interrogation with an excuse and frowned.
I don't know if Fairy Yunluo is too confident or if she really lacks a muscle. They are still wanted and have no time to hide, but they still have the heart to go to some Wanhua Party.
He shook his head and ignored Fairy Yunluo's matter, and turned to consider Su Yingxue's exchange request.
Although he learned a lot of information about the Three Realms Sect from Fairy Yunluo, he still could not judge the authenticity of Su Yingxue's news, or the hidden meaning behind the news.
This woman was imprisoned in the Prison of Nothingness and was highly regarded. It was normal for her to accidentally inquire about some news about the demon world.
If the news only had a superficial meaning, he could roughly understand Su Yingxue's thoughts.
It's not that this woman doesn't want to escape, it's just that in comparison, it is more important to spread the news that the Three Realms Sect has chosen its leader back to the Izumo Realm.
After thinking about this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but glance at Su Yingxue, feeling a little sigh and admiration in his heart.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ming no longer hesitated and activated the Taixu communication array again. The blood flames swayed in the array, and soon another face appeared, which was Ulu.
"Haha, Brother Yuan, why are you free to contact me today? Maybe you miss me!" Ulu smiled as soon as he showed up.
When several people went to the overseas world, in order to prevent accidental loss, Ulu and Xiying each had a set of Taixu Communication Arrays. Soon after Yuan Ming captured Spirit Ape Island, Ulu also established a foothold in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains.
The Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range is not too far from the East Extreme Sea and is within the communication range of the Taixu Communication Array. Therefore, the two have maintained contact over the years and can communicate with each other from time to time.
Wulu now uses Baidi City as his base and has been practicing with great concentration in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains. Relying on his own efforts, he has broken through to the stage of returning to the void.
"Brother Wulu, what you said is that I can't contact you if I have nothing to do?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while and after understanding each other's situation, Yuan Ming went straight to the topic.
"I remember hearing you say before that after you broke through the Void Return Stage, the invisibility effect of the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman became more sophisticated?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Not bad." Ulu nodded.
"To what extent is the concealment effect of the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman now?" Yuan Ming continued to ask.
"I tried to hunt beasts some time ago, but even the sixth-level monsters couldn't be seen through." Ulu said with some pride.
"That's good. To be honest, I have something I want you to help me with." Yuan Ming's expression became serious.
…
Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, Baidi City.
The Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range is located at the junction of the East Pole Sea and the Zhongzhou Continent. It is extremely vast and is almost not under the East Pole Sea. Countless monsters live in this boundless ancient mountain range, so it is known as the "Ten Thousand Monsters".
There are not only many monsters and monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains, but also abundant spiritual energy and various spiritual grass mineral veins. Every year, countless monks come to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains to hunt for treasures and bring a large number of monster materials, spiritual materials, ores and other resources to the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains.
, are continuously sent to the Zhongzhou Continent.
In order to facilitate the exploitation of resources in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains, many monk cities were built near the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains, and Baidi City is the most famous one among them.
Baidi City is located in the core area of the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains. There are many monsters in the core of the mountains, and their strength is also strong. There are also fifth-level and even sixth-level monsters.
According to common sense, it is impossible for a city to appear in such an extremely dangerous place. However, Baidi City lingers here like a wild beast and has remained standing for tens of thousands of years.
Baidi City covers a large area, including several peaks. It is surrounded by mountains outside the city. Even inside the city, the terrain is undulating and green. There are few flat and open areas. Only high-eaves pavilions are scattered here and there.
There are wooden paths crisscrossing each other, green trees and buildings, and the mountain shape is long along the plank paths.
In the center of the city, there is a mountain that is much higher than the other peaks and looks like a long sword sticking upside down into the ground.
The lower half of the sword-shaped mountain's mud and stone mountain has long been hollowed out, carving out spacious and majestic building halls. Plank roads extend from here, suspended in the air and connecting to other nearby peaks.
As for the upper part of the sword-shaped main peak, it looks like the handle of a long sword and is completely covered by a huge artificial garden.
Everything in the garden, except for the flowers, grass, mountains and ponds, is made of white bricks and stones without a trace of color. There are countless pavilions and thousands of palaces on them.
This is the core of Baidi City, where the city lord's palace is located.
The most eye-catching thing in the city lord's palace is the nine-story pagoda located in the center of the garden.
The pagoda is majestic, surrounded by ribbon-like clouds and mist from the third floor up. At the top of the pagoda, there is a bright spiritual light pillar that goes straight into the sky, like the sun, casting light on the entire city day and night, dispelling the coldness.
With dampness and coldness.
The entire city lord's palace seemed defenseless, but in fact it was completely enveloped by a large transparent formation. There was no other way to enter except through the entrances, which were heavily guarded on all sides.
A white-faced scholar flew over from a distance and landed at the west entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Stop, why did Fellow Daoist Xu come back so early today?" A Nascent Soul guard responsible for guarding this place stopped the white-faced scholar.
"The pill master is in a hurry to get these spiritual materials. I don't dare to stay outside any longer, so I can only come here early." The white-faced scholar smiled bitterly.
"I see, but you know the rules. If you come back early, the inspection will be stricter than before." The guard nodded and waved his hand, and three more people came up from around.
The white-faced scholar took off the storage bags from his waist one by one and gave them to them for inspection.
"Okay, let's go in." After confirming that everything was correct, the guard made way.
The white-faced scholar quickly went up, and a long corridor appeared in front of him. The floor of the corridor and the stone walls on both sides were covered with array patterns, forming a large array, emitting a faint white light.
This formation is called the "Embodied Appearance Formation", which can make all concealment methods ineffective. If the white-faced scholar uses any special method to hide someone on his body, he will be easily found. Its power has even been verified by the Lord Baidi City himself.
Test, even the existence of Dharma phase period cannot avoid it.
The white-faced scholar walked in, and the formation automatically started. Several spiritual lights swept the scholar up and down, as if he was exploring something.
The white-faced scholar continued to move forward, and soon entered the garden from the other end of the corridor. He didn't stay long and flew straight into the depths of the garden.
The defense here has always been famous for its strictness. No matter who wants to enter, they must go through such a set of procedures. Over the years, no one has ever been able to break into it by deceiving this series of overt or covert means.
But today, another surprise happened.
Just as the white-faced scholar left, a few steps behind where he had been standing, an invisible figure walked out. It was Ulu who was holding the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman to remain invisible.
He turned to look at the formation he had just walked out of, and couldn't help but marvel.
Wu Lu had just followed the white-faced scholar all the way into the city lord's palace, and entered the tangible manifestation array with him. Although he was not recognized by the array, when he was swept by the spiritual light, he felt a ray of uneasiness in his heart.
If he hadn't advanced to the Void Returning Stage and been able to further unleash the power of the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman, he might have just revealed himself on the spot and been caught.
But after this experience, Wu Lu became more convinced of the power of the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman, and became more confident in what he would do next.
The white-faced scholar headed in the other direction of the city lord's palace, and now he had to find his own way.
The area of the mansion was much larger than Wulu expected. It took him half a day to finally find out the location and found the place where the city lord lived, which was on the top floor of the nine-story pagoda.
There are also restrictions inside the tower, but fortunately, thanks to the magical use of the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman, I was able to pass through without any danger.
There is a study room on the top floor of the pagoda. This is where the lord of Baidi City handles the affairs of the city. It is not a place for residence and cultivation. When Ulu arrived, the lord was not here either.
This made Ulu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although he was very confident about the power of the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman, facing an existence at the peak of the Dharma still made him nervous and he didn't dare to be careless at all.
Without hesitation, he immediately took out a jade slip and placed it on the city lord's desk. Then he turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
A powerful aura rushed towards his face, causing the hidden figure of Ulu's expression to freeze.
But soon, he realized that this aura was just a residual force that was emitted unintentionally and was not directed at him, so he quickly took a few steps back and hid in a hidden corner of the study.
A few breaths later, a man with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes walked in. He was dressed in a white shirt, with black hair flowing down his shoulders like a waterfall. He didn't wear shoes, but he was dust-free, and his whole body was always enveloped by a sharp aura.
Wulu just glanced at it and felt his eyes sting slightly. He had to quickly look away and use all his strength to activate the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman to hide himself.
The person who came was none other than Jin Mu, the lord of Baidi City, whose cultivation had reached the peak of Dharma, far surpassing Ouyang Qiang and others from Dongji Palace.
Jin Mu walked slowly to the desk, wanting to get something, but when he lowered his head, he saw the jade slip that Wu Lu had just put down. He frowned and clapped his hands.
"City Lord." A black figure flew in from outside, kneeling on one knee, but it was a young man in black robe.
This person's cultivation has also reached the stage of returning to the void, but his aura is still there, as if it will disappear at any time.
"Someone else came here just now? But Chen'er?" Jin Mu asked.
"No, Master Chen took people out of the city yesterday to search for traces of Tianhuo." The young man in black robe raised his head slightly and said.
Jin Mu frowned and waved the young man to leave, picked up the jade slip on the table, and used his consciousness to sink it into it.
The next moment, the color on his face suddenly changed, and a terrifying consciousness erupted like a tsunami, covering the entire room.
Under the pressure of this spiritual consciousness, Ulu, who was hiding aside, even felt a sense of suffocation, and the Sky-Escape Stone Talisman in his hand trembled slightly, but he still managed to maintain his invisibility.
