The next day, Jing Yan returned to the main palace of Donglin City.
Gu Xinghe and Yin Lao were already waiting for Jing Yan, preparing to set off for the ancient cave that was discovered in the Black Rock Mountains.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, can we go to the Blackstone Mountains now?" Gu Xinghe looked at Jing Yan with a smile.
"Okay, no problem!" Jing Yan nodded, "You can leave right away."
"I haven't been to the Black Rock Mountains yet, and I'm a little curious, so let's go with you!" Zhou Shangyun interjected.
Gu Xinghe frowned when he heard this.
"My lord, you can enter the Blackstone Mountains, but you cannot go with us. You know, in order to open this ancient cave, my Gu family spent a lot of effort, and many powerful warriors died." Gu.
Xinghe regained his smile and said to Zhou Shangyun.
Zhou Shangyun said he would go with him, so naturally he was not really curious about the Black Rock Mountains. If he was curious about the Black Rock Mountains, when would he not be able to enter? He was afraid that Jing Yan would be in danger.
Gu Xinghe's purpose is by no means that simple.
Of course Gu Xinghe could also see this. Zhou Shangyun had an official background. If Zhou Shangyun went with them, they would be wary, so it was impossible for him to agree to go with Gu Xinghe.
And what he said showed that this ancient cave was discovered and opened by the Gu family, and any treasures that appeared in it belonged to the Gu family and had nothing to do with Zhou Shangyun.
The Gu family is one of the seven major families in Tianyuan Continent, and they are fully confident in this.
If some smaller family forces discovered an ancient cave in Lanqu County and wanted to monopolize the treasures inside, it would be absolutely impossible. The county prince's palace would not allow such a thing to happen.
But for a powerful family like the Gu family, Zhou Shangyun had no choice.
"Your Majesty, Prince, I entered the Black Rock Mountains this time to lead the way for Master Gu. Prince, please don't go with me." Jing Yan winked at Zhou Shangyun.
Going with Zhou Shangyun won't have much effect. Zhou Shangyun's strength is only at the late stage of the Taoist realm. If they fight, they won't be able to help at all.
Maybe Jing Yan would have to take care of him.
And if it was Jing Yan himself, he would be much more flexible. Jing Yan has the second-level Sky Wings, so even if he cannot be defeated, it is easier to escape alone.
Furthermore, Jing Yan possesses a lot of miniature formations. If they really start a fight, Gu Xinghe and the others may not be able to gain much advantage.
"All right!"
"Jing Yan, I won't go back to Lanqu County for the time being. I will wait for you in Donglin City." Zhou Shangyun said in a louder voice.
Immediately, the three people left the city lord's mansion and flew towards the Blackstone Mountains.
The periphery of the Blackstone Mountains is where some low-level spiritual beasts gather. Even ordinary warriors in the innate realm can freely enter and exit the periphery.
When we reach the inner layer, most of the active spirit beasts are high-level spirit beasts.
Jing Yan and the three of them flew by directly. After setting off from Donglin City, they entered the core area of the mountain range in just a few hours. In this core area, the spiritual beasts that appeared were basically golden-patterned spiritual beasts.
Of course, if Jing Yan and the others released a breath at will, the golden-patterned spirit beasts would scatter in all directions, or lie on the ground and not dare to move.
"I wonder if there are any mythical beasts in this Blackstone Mountain Range." Gu Xinghe said with squinted eyes.
"Young Master, it is unlikely that a mythical beast will appear in an area where low-level spiritual beasts gather." Mr. Yin shook his head and said, "I once went to the hopeless abyss, which is the truly terrifying place. I remember that that time I only went deep into it.
Just a few hundred meters away, I encountered a divine beast. It was really terrifying. The lowest level of the divine beast was as powerful as a warrior in the Tao King realm. If I hadn't retreated immediately, I would have died in the abyss of despair." Mr. Yin said.
Said sadly.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, you are familiar with the Black Rock Mountains. Could you tell me if there are any mythical beasts in the Black Rock Mountains?" Gu Xinghe looked at Jing Yan.
"Probably not. If there are divine beasts, then Donglin City will be in great danger. Once the divine beasts leave the Black Rock Mountains, the entire Donglin City will be destroyed." Jing Yan said casually.
"That makes sense." Gu Xinghe nodded.
The three of them chatted while going deep into the core area of the mountain range.
Along the way, we encountered many relatively powerful golden-patterned spirit beasts, but no matter how powerful the golden-patterned spirit beasts were, they could not threaten Jing Yan and the others.
In the evening, the three of them stopped.
"The place ahead should be the location of the ancient cave." Mr. Yin took out a map, observed the surrounding environment, and then said.
"Let's go and have a look." Gu Xinghe said.
Sure enough, after the three of them walked a few miles, Jing Yan felt that there was an energy fluctuation in the space. And the scene in front of him convinced Jing Yan that there had been an formation here, and it was a killing formation.
But now, the killing array has been completely destroyed, and the threat has been greatly reduced.
Jing Yan guessed that this killing array must have been destroyed by the Gu family. Gu Xinghe said that in order to open this ancient cave, the Gu family lost many masters, which must be true.
Jing Yan is also an intermediate formation master now and has good eyesight. He can see that the killing formation arranged here should be in the advanced formation category. It is not easy to break the formation. Even an advanced formation master may not be able to do it.
to break the formation without damage. But once the formation is broken by brute force, many powerful warriors will need to use their lives to fill it.
"Master, stand behind me." Mr. Yin blocked Gu Xinghe behind him.
Although the formation is forced, this does not mean that the formation has no lethality. Even a broken high-level killing formation is still dangerous.
"Master Gu, since you have found the ancient cave, my mission has been completed. Please tell me the news about my father." Jing Yan said aloud.
Jing Yan has no intention of entering the ancient cave. Let’s not talk about whether there are any treasures in this ancient cave. Even if there are, I’m afraid they have all been taken away by the Gu family.
"Haha... Alchemist Jing Yan, you are really impatient."
"However, your mission is not completed yet. You have to enter this ancient cave with us. You will not complete your mission until you come out of it. At that time, I will definitely tell you about your father." Gu Xinghe
He squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"Young Master Gu, what's the point of letting me enter the ancient cave? The entrance to the cave is right here. You and Mr. Yin can go in and look for treasures." Jing Yan frowned.
"Master Jing Yan, it's not that I don't believe you, but we are not familiar with each other after all, right? It's essential to be on guard against others! We entered the ancient cave, and if you leave and tell this matter everywhere, then we won't
Is it very troublesome?" Gu Xinghe's eyes flashed with an evil light.
