Taking into account his own cultivation and swordsmanship, Gao Jianhan should be the most powerful in terms of attack.
After all, his "Black Shark Sword" looks extraordinary. In addition, the swordsman has always been known for his offensive skills, and he has the realm of sword power.
Liu Yu said to himself that if he didn't use the Broken Sword, in terms of offensive power alone, he might not be able to match Gao Jianhan.
However, I have more means and no obvious shortcomings. In a real life-and-death fight, the winner must be myself!
After getting to know each other, the five of them had some understanding of each other's methods, and the atmosphere in the team became much more harmonious.
After a brief discussion on how to cooperate when encountering monsters, they quickly accelerated their escape speed.
…
The Chu State is adjacent to the Hengduan Mountains and is one of the few large countries that always faces the threat of monsters.
The five people set out from the border, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the area occupied by the monsters.
Looking around, all you can see are rolling mountains and chaotically growing vegetation.
On the grassland and beside the stream, some monsters or groups of monsters were eating grass and drinking water comfortably.
Some carnivorous monsters are extremely aggressive.
Then he is lurking in a secret corner, watching eagerly, and may launch a fatal blow at any time, and then enjoy a feast.
From here on, it can be considered as officially entering the Hengduan Mountains and leaving the Tiannan Immortal Realm.
Because it is the time when the monster tide breaks out, monsters are active frequently, and you may encounter monster cultivators at any time.
In order to avoid encountering the demon cultivator, the five of them lowered their escape light and flew close to the ground.
"This is a paradise for monsters."
Liu Yu sighed in her heart.
When you step into it, you feel a wild atmosphere coming to your face.
Once upon a time, this place was also within the scope of the Tiannan Immortal Realm, but now, it has become a paradise for monsters.
Looking around, there are no traces of civilization anymore.
There are only scattered ruins that have not been buried by dust, proving that human beings once lived and worked here in peace and contentment, and that secular mortals thrived here.
In this sky, immortal cultivators could once fly freely!!!
Unfortunately, during the beast tide three to four thousand years ago, this country was eventually overrun by monsters, and has been inaccessible since then.
Liu Yu finally understood that every once in a while, the Seven Kingdoms Alliance also had two factions, good and evil, and why they spent so much money to send Jindan monks to try to contact the Tang Dynasty.
If there is no contact, there is no difference from chronic death.
Monsters are not evil cultivators. They won't shoot and change places, but they won't leave once they come.
If this continues, the living space for immortal cultivators will only become smaller and smaller.
We have to make changes, we have to make changes.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape the fate of destruction in the end.
Because of this, every generation of high-ranking monks will spend a huge price to try to explore the Hengduan Mountains and try to open a road to the Central Territory.
Even though Jindan cultivators are high-ranking members of various major sects, they still promise huge benefits and send Jindan masters to risk their lives to enter them.
But that crucial reward has not been claimed yet.
Of course, it does not matter if it has something to do with low-level monks as it concerns the future of the entire Tiannan.
Qi-refining and foundation-building monks only have a lifespan of one or two hundred years, and the distant future of tens of thousands of years has little to do with them.
"My uncle gave me a magic weapon called "Green Soul Veil", which can mask your aura and deceive most monsters."
"Even some third-level demon cultivators can't detect it."
As he spoke, a thin piece of green gauze appeared on Zhuo Mengzhen's hand.
This green gauze was translucent and seemed to be thinner than paper. Liu Yu tried to scan it roughly with his spiritual consciousness, but he couldn't actually see it.
With this magic weapon, it is indeed much safer and can effectively reduce the risk of being discovered by demon cultivators.
Injecting mana, the "Qinghun Yarn" will light up with a faint cyan aura.
When the aura became strong enough, a ray of aura suddenly shot out and spread around the five people.
A light cyan shield was formed, shrouding several people within it.
Zhuo Mengzhen's right hand was seen pinching the spells repeatedly, and the cyan shield slowly became transparent and finally disappeared.
The moment he sacrificed the magic weapon, Liu Yu's body tensed up, and all kinds of methods were ready to go, and he could launch a fierce attack with just a thought.
But thinking about what this woman had said before, he still suppressed it.
With his current physical strength, even if he is unprepared and receives a blow from an ordinary magic weapon head-on, it will be difficult for him to be fatal in one blow, and he can advance and retreat much more calmly.
Therefore, being within the scope of his magic weapon, he did not have an overreaction, but only increased his vigilance.
As for Canglou Lao Dao, he has even held the "Purple Night Soul-Destroying Halberd" in his hand, and will attack if anything goes wrong.
Even Gao Jianhan held the "Black Shark Sword" tightly, the tip of the sword facing Zhuo Mengzhen faintly.
Mu Yunyan, on the other hand, smiled brightly and didn't react too much. She didn't know whether she believed in her teammates or had already understood the situation.
"Fellow Taoists, don't worry, my Qinghun Sha has no attack ability."
"I gave it to Master Hehuan, and I'm sacrificing it now just to add some protection to our actions."
Being treated with hostility by several monks of the same rank, Zhuo Mengzhen felt alarm bells ringing in his heart and quickly explained.
Seeing that the woman made no next move, and since they were indeed on the same boat, and Qinghunsha didn't look like a particularly sharp magic weapon, Canglou Lao Dao and Gao Jianhan restrained their hostility and put away their respective magic weapons.
Seeing this, Liu Yu lowered her guard a little.
Although they are said to be "in the same boat," these people have never crossed paths with each other before.
Even each other's sects are still hostile.
When it comes to trust, it's obviously out of the question. It would be good if you don't stab him in the back.
Even if we are in the same boat, we still need to be on guard against each other.
"The old Taoist was nervous for a moment. I hope fellow Taoist Zhuo won't take offense."
Realizing that it was a misunderstanding, Taoist Canglou smiled awkwardly and apologized verbally.
Gao Jianhan also cupped his hands to express his apology.
"I didn't explain it clearly. It's normal for the two Taoists to have misunderstandings. It's harmless."
Zhuo Mengzhen smiled, but on the surface he didn't seem to take it to heart.
She glanced at Liu Yu out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw that this old rival didn't react.
"This person has some determination."
Zhuo Mengzhen thought to himself.
"Huh?"
The woman noticed the broken sword on Liu Yu's waist and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Ever since Jinge City, I had always seen this long sword hanging on Liu Yu's waist. It was almost never put into the storage ring and never used.
"Is it a secret magic weapon or an ordinary decoration?"
Zhuo Mengzhen made a guess in his mind.
But no matter how she looked at it, or secretly scanned it with her spiritual consciousness, she could only conclude that it was an ordinary long sword, and could not see anything unusual.
"Pretend to be a ghost"
The woman cursed secretly in her heart.
Then he stopped paying attention, and while being alert to the surroundings, he activated the magic weapon "Qinghunsha" to hide the team and hurried on.
The sparse buildings gradually disappeared, and no trace of them could be seen anymore.
The five of them stepped into a mountain range full of monsters, and everything seemed so strange.
Even Jindan Zhenren has to be cautious even when facing low-level monsters.
Exposing your whereabouts means half the battle is lost.
His consciousness swept across the scene for dozens of miles around. Everything was strange and harmonious, and the original natural scene was extremely strange to Liu Yu.
It was as if we had stepped from civilization into the wilderness.
In the confrontation between civilization and wilderness, Tiannan is already at a disadvantage.
After using "Green Soul Veil" to rush on the road, the low-level monsters were completely unable to detect the presence of the five people, and even if they passed by them very close to each other, they would not notice them at all.
I just thought it was a strange breeze.
However, Liu Yu, Zhuo Mengzhen, and Mu Yunyan did not dare to be careless because of this, and still tried their best to control their spiritual pressure and aura.
In today's cruel world of immortal cultivation, it is difficult for monks who dare to be careless to cultivate to the golden elixir realm.
The five of them are not "second generation immortals". They have all climbed up from the bottom step by step, so naturally they will not be careless.
They were flying in a hurry, because they were still outside the mountains. Even when the beast tide broke out, there were mostly low-level monsters, so the five people did not restrain their escape speed too much.
Since the gathering place of the third-level demon cultivators was already very clear in the intelligence, plus we stayed away from places with strong spiritual energy, the journey was calm.
In this way, half an hour passed, leaving the Tiannan Immortal Realm, the five of them had already penetrated two thousand miles into the mountains.
Suddenly, Mu Yunyan paused and looked at a dilapidated building below in trance.
When she stopped, Liu Yu and others had to stop too.
"This area was originally the location of the Kingdom of Jin, but it was captured by monsters more than three thousand years ago."
"The little girl's ancestors originally lived here and were natives of the Jin Kingdom."
Mu Yunyan sighed softly, looking a little sad.
"Old Land of the Kingdom of Jin"
Information about the Kingdom of Jin flashed in Liu Yu's mind.
More than 3,000 years ago, the Chu State was not directly bordering the Hengduan Mountains. Instead, the Jin State was one of the northernmost barriers.
However, the Kingdom of Jin is only a medium-sized country, with only two Yuanying sects in it, and only two Yuanying monks in the whole country, which is unable to resist the surging beast tide.
After only a few years of persistence, the entire territory fell.
The beast tide that lost its resistance then surged toward the Chu State. In the end, the Xuanming Sect used all its strength to resist it with great difficulty.
It was precisely because of the battle with the beast tide that the Xuanming Sect suffered too many elite casualties, and many Nascent Soul monks were seriously injured, so the five sects took advantage of it and finally ended up destroying the sect.
Of course, ordinary low-level monks have no access to this history.
They can only come into contact with the glorified history, which describes how heroic the Five Sects were and what great contributions they made back then.
There is no mention of Xuanming Sect in the official history books, and low-level monks don't know much about it either.
"I see. I never thought that Fairy's ancestor was from the Jin Kingdom."
"But now that we have heavy responsibilities, we still have to put the mission first and should not stay too long."
"Please give me my condolences, Fairy."
After being silent for a long time, Canglou Old Taoist comforted him.
Mu Yunyan nodded silently, but suddenly left the team, ignoring the calls of Liu Yu and others, and insisted on flying towards the dilapidated building.
The four people who stayed there looked at each other and could only shake their heads helplessly.
However, some low-level monsters were still unable to see through Mu Yunyan's blinding spell, so Liu Yu and the others were not too worried.
Fortunately, Mu Yunyan just burned some paper money and made a few strange moves, but didn't make any big noise.
Perhaps it is the custom of the Jin Kingdom. This woman is worshiping her ancestors!
Liu Yu's consciousness was constantly scanning the surroundings, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that Mu Yunyan did not move.
If this woman goes crazy, this operation will end as soon as it begins.
It would undoubtedly be much more difficult to cross the Hengduan Mountains by yourself, and it would really be the same as committing suicide.
At this time, at least the Seven Nations Alliance sent many teams to distract the attention of the monsters and slightly reduce the difficulty of breaking through the blockade.
