Outside the cave, Zheng Qiu harnessed a ray of light and quietly approached the crack in the mountain wall.
In order not to alert others, he lowered his light to a very low level, and his aura became much more restrained.
"Liang Zhidao, you must die today!"
A trace of ferocity flashed in Zheng Qiu's eyes.
He knew that both Liang Yan and Tang Zhen had been poisoned and could not still fight. The only thing they were afraid of was the "Tongxuan Realm Spirit Beast" that Lingyao said.
To be sure, Zheng Qiu pinched a spell in his hand, and ninety-nine black light daggers appeared behind him, surrounding him to prevent him from being attacked.
After making all preparations, Zheng Qiu jumped in from the crack in the mountain wall.
The crack was very dark and deep. Zheng Qiu swept his consciousness and quickly found a cave deep in the crack.
There seems to be some kind of weird existence in the cave. I can't enter with my spiritual consciousness, and I can't see clearly what's going on inside.
"Hey, you're hiding your ears and stealing your bell!"
A contemptuous smile appeared on Zheng Qiu's face. In his opinion, the more concealed this place was, the more suspicious it became. How could an ordinary cave not be detected by spiritual sense? It must be Liang Zhidao and the others hiding here!
Thinking of this, Zheng Qiu did not hesitate, and his aura no longer concealed, turned into a ray of light, and rushed directly towards the cave deep in the crack.
brush!
Before Zheng Qiuren entered, he raised his hand and cast a magic spell. The black light daggers around him rained down like raindrops, and he rushed into the cave in an instant.
Waves of fierce murderous aura rushed left and right in the cave, and powerful force swept around, shrouding the entire cave inside.
"Liang Zhidao, Liang Zhidao, I didn't expect that you would end up in my hands, right?"
Amidst the laughter, Zheng Qiu's escaping light rushed into the cave.
However, the next moment, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
I thought that this must be the hiding place of Liang Zhidao and Tang Zhen, but I didn't expect that after entering, I only saw four stone walls and an empty cave.
These stone walls were riddled with holes from his black light daggers, but there was no sign of Liang Zhidao and Tang Zhen. Only a strange three-color flower grew in the open space in the middle of the cave.
Other than that, the entire cave is empty!
"How could this happen...how could this happen?"
Zheng Qiu murmured, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.
As its tracking spirit beast, the "Sounding Crying Beast" almost never makes a mistake. Any monk tracked by it can always find a hiding place in the end.
Could it be that something went wrong this time with the ‘Crying Beast’?
Zheng Qiu was shocked and confused. After thinking for a moment, he took out the black toad from the bag on his waist again.
"Baby, did you hear it wrong? There is no one I'm looking for here."
After listening to his words, the black toad's eyelids blinked, but his eyes were focused on the strange flowers in the middle of the cave.
This three-color exotic flower is slowly withering, and a strange fragrance is blowing towards your face.
When Zheng Qiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but wonder whether it was this unknown strange flower that interfered with his spiritual beast.
Not long after, the three-color exotic flower had completely withered, and the black toad seemed to have lost interest.
It shook its head, as if it wanted to look for traces of Liang Yan again.
But at this moment, outside the cave, a faint puff of green smoke suddenly drifted past.
The black toad immediately turned its head, as if it smelled something, its eyes widened, and it screamed twice.
"What did you say?" Zheng Qiu's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "There is no one I am looking for here. The target is still moving. It is now three hundred miles away?"
"Quack!"
The black toad screamed and rolled his eyes, seeming to agree with this statement.
"Alas, my little ancestor, you were misled by a flower at the critical moment and delayed my important event!"
Zheng Qiu let out a long sigh, put the black toad into the bag again, then made a magic spell, transformed into an escape light, and faced
Rushed out of the crack...
This person came and left suddenly. From the time he entered the crack in the mountain wall to the time he left, it took less than half a cup of tea.
Deep in the crack, in a hidden cave.
Lao Jin transformed into a human form, stood on tiptoes, lay on the stone wall, and listened to the sounds outside the cave.
"Strange, why is he gone?"
Lao Jin's eyes were full of doubts.
He did not dare to release his spiritual consciousness to avoid being sensed by Zheng Qiu, so he could only lie on the stone wall and confirm repeatedly until he was sure that the other party had really left...
"Weird thing!"
There was a look of disbelief in Lao Jin's eyes, and he said to himself, "He has obviously found this place, and we didn't have time to use the formation to cover it up. How could he not find it with his cultivation in the Tongxuan Realm? And what's more, he just found it
His behavior was too abnormal. He was attacking a natural cave like a fool. Didn't he realize that the cave we were hiding in was right behind him?"
Lao Jin was puzzled. He got down from the stone wall and turned to look at Liang Yan aside.
At this moment, Liang Yan was practicing his martial arts to suppress the toxins in his body. At the same time, he pressed one of his palms behind Tang Zhen's back, trying to use his spiritual power to prolong Tang Zhen's life.
Seeing his calm look, Lao Jin had a look of doubt on his face.
"Liang Yan, aren't you curious? Then why is Zheng Qiu so blind that he didn't notice us even when we arrived at the entrance of the cave?"
Liang Yan was practicing Qigong at this time. After hearing Lao Jin's question, he just smiled and said: "What's so curious about this? It only means that our lives should not be cut off! Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about how to help us detoxify."
"
"I come!"
Lao Jin did not hesitate and came to Liang Yan and Tang Zhen in an instant. He pressed his two palms behind their backs, and his spiritual power surged out to help them suppress the poison in their bodies.
After a while, I suddenly heard a "poof!" sound.
But Tang Zhen opened his eyes suddenly and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Cough! Cough!" After waking up, Tang Zhen looked pale and glanced at the two people around him, with a hint of relief on his face.
"Fortunately...fortunately! It didn't fall into Lingyao's hands, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to survive or die!" Tang Zhen said with some fear.
"Messenger, there is no need to say much. We will try our best to heal your injuries." Lao Jin said slowly.
"It's useless." Tang Zhen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Thank you both for your kindness, but I know my own body best. The poison from Lingyao has penetrated deep into my internal organs and mixed with my essence and blood.
Together, Tang is already a dead person!"
"Brother Tang, don't give up until the last moment." Liang Yan suddenly said.
After Tang Zhen heard this, he turned to look at Liang Yan and suddenly laughed: "What a man who never gives up easily! Little brother Liang, thanks to you this time, there was no misunderstanding between Shennong Mountain and the ten major tribes.
"
"But if you all die, no one will know what happened here." Liang Yan said solemnly.
"I understand, so I choose to believe you."
Tang Zhen looked at Liang Yan and his face gradually became serious. "Brother Liang, I am actually very doubtful about your identity, but at this moment, I at least know that you are not a member of the Ye Ming Cult, and you dare to risk your life to expose it."
The conspiracy of the Yeming Sect is enough to prove that you and our Shennong Mountain are friends rather than enemies..."
Having said this, Tang Zhen suddenly coughed violently several times, his body shaking even more violently, and it was obvious that he could no longer hold on any longer.
"My...ahem...I don't have much time. Little brother Liang, let me tell you straight. I want to entrust you to go to Shennong Mountain for me and tell my master what happened here."
"Going to Shennong Mountain?"
Although Liang Yan remained calm on the surface, he had an idea in his heart.
If he wants to find the truth about this continent and find a way to leave here, he must go to Shennong Mountain. Before, he was worried that he would not be accepted by others without a legitimate reason, but now he can go to worship the mountain openly.
Before he could express his wishes, Tang Zhen rushed to say, "I know this is a dangerous journey. I beg you, indeed.
It’s a bit overwhelming. Don’t worry, I won’t let your trip go in vain.”
Having said this, Tang Zhen took out a small white jade bottle from the storage ring and said in a hurry: "This is the resource I brought from Shennong Mountain. As a reward for this tribal competition, everything the ten major tribes want is here."
Here. And it can only be opened with the special secret method of our Shennong Mountain. If you try to open it with brute force, the contents of the vial will self-destruct!"
"Reward for clan competition?"
Liang Yan's eyes lit up, and a strange color flashed across Gu Jing Bubo's face.
If the rewards for tribal competitions are all here, then isn’t the five-color soil I want also in this vial...
And this is not just the share of the Stone Spirit Clan, but the five-color soil allocated to the ten major tribes!
"Brother Liang, if my guess is correct, the reason why you participated in this competition is for the reward from Shennong Mountain," Tang Zhen saw the passion in Liang Yan's heart and said with a smile.
"Not bad!" Liang Yan did not deny it, but admitted it frankly.
"Very well, let's make a deal. As long as you promise to help me bring the news here to Shennong Mountain, I will use a secret method to open this vial, and you can take the resources inside. How about it?"
"Okay, it's a deal." Liang Yan agreed without thinking.
He had originally planned to go to Shennong Mountain. Now he not only had a legitimate excuse, but he could also get the five-color soil he wanted. Why not?
"It's so refreshing!"
Tang Zhen nodded, very satisfied with Liang Yan's answer.
Without hesitation, he used his remaining spiritual power to form a seal with his right hand, and then pressed it on the white vial.
Spiritual energy swarmed out and circulated on the bottle in a special trajectory. After a few breaths, a mark appeared on the bottle. Under Tang Zhen's secret method, it gradually faded and eventually turned into nothingness.
"It's done! I have unlocked the seal of the vial!"
As Tang Zhen spoke, he put the small white jade bottle into Liang Yan's hand. At the same time, he took out a token from his storage ring and put it into Liang Yan's hand.
"This is my disciple's token in Shennong Mountain. It can prove your identity. I have just used Shennong Mountain's unique technique to engrave what happened here into the token. As long as you give it to my master,
, he will know everything that happens here."
Tang Zhen's tone became more and more urgent, because he knew that he didn't have much time, so he could only use the last moment to explain everything clearly.
"Liang understands."
Liang Yan nodded solemnly, and at the same time stretched out a palm and pressed it on Tang Zhen's head.
"Brother Tang, you are tired. Leave the rest to me... Now take a nap. When you wake up, we will already be at Shennong Mountain."
"Are you going to..." Tang Zhen had a look of confusion on his face.
Soon, he felt that his consciousness was getting weaker and weaker, and he felt light and airy from head to toe.
In a daze, Tang Zhen felt as if he was flying up. When he looked down, he saw that his body was lying on the ground, but his consciousness had broken away from his body.
"What I am..."
Before Tang Zhen could figure it out, his vision went dark, the world around him was spinning, and he finally lost consciousness completely...
In the cave, Tang Zhen fell to the ground.
Behind him, Liang Yan used magic techniques to pull out the remaining bit of Tang Zhen's true spirit from his Tianling Cap.
At the same time, Liang Yan took out a dark jar from the storage ring, tore open the seal, and put the last bit of Tang Zhen's true spirit into it.
This black jar is exactly the soul-nurturing jar where he once held the red crow!
Tang Zhen has been deeply poisoned, and the toxin has entangled with the essence and blood. With Liang Yan's current state, there is absolutely no way to save him. In just a moment and a half, Tang Zhen will be dead, and not even the Great Luo Immortal can save him.
In order to save Tang Zhen's life, the only thing Liang Yan could do was to extract a ray of his true soul and store it in his own soul-nurturing altar.
This person's physical body is definitely hopeless, but as long as this ray of true spirit exists, he can still survive.
There is a possibility of resurrection.
The premise is that he can return to his peak cultivation level, and the people in Shennong Mountain are willing to pay the price to save him.
No matter what, Liang Yan has done his best to benevolent and righteous.
After preserving Tang Zhen's true spirit, Liang Yan's face became paler, he coughed a few times, and his breath was somewhat disordered.
"How are you?" Lao Jin noticed his weakness and asked with a frown.
"Fortunately, I used a little spiritual power just now and almost caused the poison to spread. Fortunately, the essence of the 'Immortal Dragon' was suffocating..."
Liang Yan took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
Although the "Celestial Dragon Immortal Body" can be reborn by dripping blood, the meridians in his body have been sealed by the evil spirit of reincarnation. If he dies at this time, it is not certain whether he can be reborn. Even if he can be resurrected, his injuries will definitely be aggravated, and he will end up with a very serious end.
awful.
So Liang Yan was very careful along the way, trying not to conflict with anyone, but he didn't expect that in order to compete for the Five Colored Soil, he would end up falling out with the Ye Ming Cult people.
What was even more unexpected was that the Ye Ming Sect was so powerful that among this small tribe, there would actually be monks from the late Tongxuan period taking charge.
But, so far, it's been worth it!
Liang Yan held up the small white jade bottle in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
The next moment, he raised his hand to type a spell and searched for a moment in the vial.
With a flash of rays of light, a pile of magical soil glowing with five colors of rays of light was taken out of the vial by Liang Yan.
"Five-colored soil!"
Liang Yan's eyes were fiery and without any hesitation, he raised his hand and used the magic technique to cover the surface of his skin with these "five-color soil" and began to slowly absorb the "reincarnation evil spirit" hidden in his meridians...
