Just when Liang Yan and others left Shiling Village, in an unknown valley on Langhuan Continent, a black demon flower emerged from the ground.
At first it was only the size of a palm, but after leaving the ground, the demonic flower gradually expanded and its petals unfolded one by one. In just a few breaths, it was already ten feet in diameter.
Shortly after the demon flower bloomed, three black shadows appeared one after another on the petals.
The black shadows gradually condensed and finally turned into human shapes. They could vaguely be seen as two men and one woman.
Among them, the woman was tall and graceful, with a charming look and smile, but there was a strong evil aura between her eyebrows, which easily made people fearful and afraid to approach her.
Look at the two men again, one is tall and the other is short. The tall one is skinny and skinny, with a sickly appearance, as if he has been reincarnated by a starving ghost; the short one has thick hands and short feet, wearing a linen scarf on his head and both sides.
The small eyes like soybeans are hidden behind the gaps in the scarf, looking very funny.
Although the auras of these three people are deep, their figures are a bit vague. It seems that they are not present in person, but are just projections left here by some kind of magical power.
"Something happened in the west."
After the figures gathered together, the short man spoke first, his voice a little deep.
"Isn't Lingyao your proud disciple? Can't you handle such a simple task?" The tall man frowned, his face a little unhappy.
"There is no flaw in Lingyao's plan, it's just that a person who shouldn't have appeared appears."
"Someone who shouldn't be there?"
"Yes, that person is just like us. He does not belong to Langhuan Continent, but is from the outside world." The short man said calmly.
"What?" The tall man looked a little surprised, "There is someone else who has entered this world. What is his origin?"
"I'm not sure about this. Before Lingyao died, he sent me a divine thought. I'm sure this outsider was not simple. With his peak level of Tongxuan, he easily killed Lingyao, Qin Ming and others.
"
"Tongxuan Realm?"
After hearing this, the tall man muttered: "Lingyao has obtained your true inheritance, and with the help of the Tiancan Ghost Formation, there is almost no opponent among the monks of the same level in Langhuan Continent. This person can easily kill Lingyao, could it be that
He is the genius of the Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities?"
"It's possible." The short man whispered.
"Almost those who can be called the "Tianjiao" have the strength to transcend the level and fight against the calamity realm. If this person is really the Tianjiao of the Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities, then the time when he appears is too coincidental.
Will it affect our plan?" The tall man frowned.
After hearing this, the short man chuckled, shook his head and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are too worried. It's just a Tongxuan realm monk, so what if you are a genius? If you two are not at ease, I will go there myself."
"Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist."
The tall woman who had been silent until now suddenly spoke.
Hearing her speak, the other two people looked over and saw this woman smiling charmingly and saying softly: "The three of us have been lurking here for many years, and our goal is about to be achieved. Now is the most important final stage. Rong
There must be no mistake! Since a fly has broken in, I would like to go over there and trample this annoying fly to death."
"Haha, since Fairy Li has said so, of course I am obligated to do so. But for the matter over there, I have to leave it to my two fellow Taoists." The short man said, hugging his fists to the other two.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll take care of everything here." The tall man responded in a low voice.
"Friend Lu Dao, please be more careful during this trip. Not only do you want to find the flies that have wandered in, but you also want to see if there is any whereabouts of that girl. According to my calculation, she seems to have not left this world." The charming woman said lightly.
"It seems that there are some deviations in our plan..." The short man chuckled and nodded: "Don't worry, even if that girl is still in Langhuan Continent, I will not let her return to Shennong Mountain. As for breaking in,
Naturally, the flies cannot escape from my Wuzhishan. I will set off to the west now, and you two will wait for my good news!"
After saying that, the short man bowed his hands to the two of them, and the figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared...
………
Five days later, on a wide avenue, a gray ray of light broke through the sky.
The light fell and stopped on the road, revealing three figures, namely Liang Yan, Qing Qing and Gu Xingyun.
"Ahead is Yunzhongshan!"
Gu Xingyun looked at the towering mountain peaks in front of him, his face slightly excited.
"It is said that this is the Mountain of Demonic Beasts. It contains all kinds of rare treasures, which are more than one level higher than our Longding Mountain. The most cherished spiritual beasts in the entire Langhuan Continent are probably on this mountain."
After listening to Gu Xingyun's introduction, Qingqing was also a little excited. She clapped her hands and shouted: "According to what you said, the rumors should be correct. There must be enlightened beasts on Yunzhong Mountain. I must catch one this time when I go up the mountain!"
"Um..." Looking at the lively girl in front of him, Gu Xingyun scratched his head and said, "I just said that there are many strange beasts in Yunzhong Mountain. As for whether there are enlightened beasts, I can't say for sure. After all, no one has ever seen this spiritual beast.
, it only exists in legends, is it still there..."
"There must be some!"
Before he could finish speaking, Qingqing interrupted with a firm expression.
Gu Xingyun wanted to tell Qingqing not to have high hopes, but seeing her expression, he could only hold back the rest of his words and force a smile.
"Well, there will be."
Gu Xingyun's voice was very gentle. He knew that the girl in front of him saved his life, so he didn't want her to be a little sad.
"Let's go up the mountain and have a look."
Liang Yan's voice sounded in front, and the two of them quickly followed after hearing it.
After a while, the three of them had arrived at the foot of Yunzhong Mountain.
This high mountain is majestic and straight. The mountainside is covered by clouds. The mountain is full of green trees and full of spiritual energy. All kinds of rare birds and animals are active in the mountain. At first glance, it is an excellent holy land for cultivation.
Gu Xingyun was attracted by the scenery in the mountain and couldn't help but want to go up the mountain, but was pulled back by Liang Yan beside him.
"What's wrong? Master." Gu Xingyun was slightly confused.
Liang Yan shook his head, raised his hand and shot out a spiritual light, flying forward about ten feet. Ripples suddenly appeared in the air, as if he had touched some mechanism, and three rays of glow immediately appeared around him.
These three rays of rays formed an encircling force, trapping Liang Yan's aura in the middle. Then, with a roll of rays of rays, Liang Yan's aura disappeared without a trace.
"There is actually a formation restriction!"
Gu Xingyun's face looked a little surprised, but at the same time he was a little lucky. If Liang Yan hadn't held him back just now, he might have fallen into a restraint.
"Who would place a ban here?" Qingqing showed a confused expression.
Liang Yan did not answer, but glanced into the distance and said with a smile, "Someone will tell us the answer soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of piercing the sky was heard in the distance, and five rays of light were seen coming from far and near, piercing the sky.
While the other party was not close, Liang Yan raised his hand and made a magic spell, hiding his own realm and only revealing the cultivation level of the late Jindan.
In just a moment, the light had already arrived in front of everyone, landed on the ground, and five men in white robes appeared.
"They are the Baisheng tribe!"
Gu Xingyun recognized the person and secretly sent a message to Liang Yan: "The Baisheng tribe is one of the most powerful tribes among the hundreds of tribes in Langhuan. The magical powers they learned from their totems are all related to controlling spiritual beasts.
, and the Yunzhong Mountain in front of them is also within their sphere of influence."
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded secretly, took a step forward, cupped his hands towards the five men in white robes who were coming towards him, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist from the Baisheng Tribe, we are monks from the Shiling Tribe, and we want to go up the mountain to pick some flavor."
It’s a magical medicine, please give me some accommodation.”
Those white-robed monks were also polite. The leading monk clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It turns out that fellow Taoists from the Shiling Tribe are here. I'm so glad to meet you! Originally, Yunzhong Mountain was also open to everyone, but you guys can't come.
Coincidentally, the Baisheng Tribe’s Earth Spirit Conference will be held in the next day, and the mountain will be closed for ten days. If fellow Taoists want to go up the mountain, please wait ten days before coming."
"Gathering of Earth Spirits?"
Liang Yan frowned. He heard Lu Dayou mention it before when he was in Shiling Village. It seemed to be a grand gathering for all major tribes to learn about their totems.
At this time, Gu Xingyun secretly said from behind: "The Earth Spirit Conference is the most important day for all the major tribes. It can also be said to be the source of all laws in Langhuan Continent. The skills, magical powers, and secret techniques practiced by everyone,
I came to this understanding after watching the totems of my clan at the Earth Spirit Conference. Each major tribe has its own totem, and different totems emerge from the ground at different times, so the time for holding the Earth Spirit Conference is also different."
After listening to Gu Xingyun's introduction, Liang Yan nodded secretly.
It seems that this trip is unlucky, just in time for others to understand their own totems. This is like the outside world's cultivation sect, where the founder holds a forum to teach, and naturally no outsiders are allowed to pry.
"It seems that Mr. Liang is unlucky. Since this is the 'Earth Spirit Convention' of the nobles, I won't bother you."
Liang Yan looked disappointed, bowed his hands to the monks from the Bai Sheng clan, took Qingqing and Gu Xingyun and turned around to leave.
He left very decisively, which actually made the monks of the Bai Sheng clan a little embarrassed. They said some polite words, but they had no intention of staying.
The Bai Sheng clan monk had been standing there, watching Liang Yan and the others go away, and then he took control of the escape light. He did not dare to fly to high altitudes, but walked slowly close to the ground, and returned to their respective positions after a while.
Everyone left, the surroundings fell into silence again, and even the restrictions returned to their original appearance, as if no one had ever been there.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a rustling sound in the grass.
Immediately afterwards, three vague figures appeared.
The figure on the left glanced around and whispered: "Master, I'm afraid it's not a good idea for us to deceive others and secretly go up the mountain, right?"
The figure in the middle snorted and said calmly: "Xingyun, today is the first lesson I will teach you: you must have a flexible bottom line as a human being."
"A flexible bottom line?" The figure on the left scratched his head.
"Brother Liang, when are we going up?" The figure on the right seemed a little excited and eager to try.
"Now!"
The figure in the middle didn't say much. He raised his hand and pinched a magic spell. The Tianji Pearl in his body was activated, and the breath of the three people was completely covered, leaving no trace.
The next moment, a slight fluctuation appeared at the foot of Yunzhong Mountain, as if something was approaching, but the surrounding restrictions did not light up, and obviously no abnormality was found.
There was silence all around, and the monks from the Baisheng clan never appeared again...
A moment later, on a certain mountain road in Yunzhong Mountain, a flash of blue light appeared, and three monks appeared, none other than Liang Yan, Gu Xingyun and Qingqing.
"Coming in now?"
Gu Xingyun was a little unbelievable. He looked back at the restriction at the foot of the mountain with a surprised expression on his face.
Although he already knew that Liang Yan had great supernatural powers, this was the Baisheng clan's defensive formation. For the upcoming Earth Spirit Conference, the formation they had arranged was definitely not weak.
If Liang Yan used his magical power to force his way in, he wouldn't be surprised at all, but now he was able to sneak past the Baisheng tribe's defensive restrictions quietly without even a trace of ripples, which was a bit unbelievable.
"Master is really unfathomable. What kind of person is he?" Gu Xingyun looked at the man in gray in front of him and suddenly felt that he was extremely mysterious.
Of course, Liang Yan would not explain anything to him. At this time, he glanced around, his eyes fell on Qingqing, and said lightly: "Okay, now that we have entered Yunzhong Mountain, how are we going to find the 'Enlightened Beast?
?」
"It is said that enlightened beasts like jade and other treasures. I have a lot of them with me to see if I can lure them out."
Qingqing said, turning the storage ring upside down, and a pile of crystal clear treasures fell to the ground.
Gu Xingyun lowered his head and looked a little uneasy.
"Xuan Yuan Jade, Star Stone, Yuanyang Warm Crystal... these are all priceless treasures of Langhuan Continent! Normally, only when Shennong Mountain distributes resources, major tribes can get some. Why do you have so many on you?
?』
"Is it very precious?"
Qingqing tilted her head and thought for a moment, then picked up a few pills from the ground and stuffed them directly into Gu Xingyun's hand.
"Here, I'll give it to you!"
Gu Xingyun was slightly startled, looking at the innocent smiling face in front of him, he actually felt a little dazed.
But soon, he reacted, shook his head, and returned the jade stones to Qingqing.
"No reward for no merit, I already owe you my life, why do I have the nerve to ask for your treasure? If the enlightened beast is really attracted later, I will try my best to help you capture this spiritual beast without Master taking action.
, it can be regarded as a small repayment for the life-saving grace."
Hearing Gu Xingyun say that he would help him catch the enlightened beast, Qingqing immediately became happy and nodded repeatedly: "Great! I'll leave it to you then. As long as you catch the enlightened beast, you will be Qingqing's good friend!"
"good friend?"
Gu Xingyun had a strange expression on his face and seemed to be suppressing a smile.
The next moment, he really laughed.
It's strange to say that the girl in front of me always brings joy to the people around her. Although she kept chattering and arguing along the way, her own mood seemed to be affected by it.
After experiencing Mu Ying's betrayal, Gu Xingyun's mood hit rock bottom for a while, but I don't know when he started to smile again...
