"Since I came back, the Second Elder and others have wanted me to become a Taoist companion of someone from their lineage, so your appearance will definitely affect his plan.
If Junior Brother had previously exposed that he had practiced the 'Qiongqi Purgatory Technique', the exposure would actually have been exposed. Although it would have an impact on your arrival, I will take care of it.
However, junior brother, you may have been concerned about some things, so you did not use this technique, so I will temporarily hide it in front of the great elders and wait for us to discuss it before deciding how to say it.
Because of the above reasons, coupled with your current high level of cultivation, it will have a great impact on the Second Elder and the others, and he will definitely not let you successfully obtain the position of 'King Qing'.
Now the Great Elder cannot forcefully interfere with this matter. He has more things to consider.
Judging from the fact that the fourth and fifth elders who were close to the second elder were seriously injured one after another in the battle with the wind beast, the first elder cannot insist on his own way.
After all, these people have differences in their internal interests, but when it comes to fighting against the wind beast, they are all good men of the Tianli tribe. If they are not handled well, the Tianli tribe will fall apart!"
Gong Chenying quickly explained the matter.
"This matter is not urgent. What are you going to do about Patriarch Gong and the Sixth Elder? According to you, they have disappeared for more than ten years, but you seem to have a way to know that they still have not died?"
Li Yan could feel that Gong Chenying had no sadness in his eyes when he talked about Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder. Li Yan wondered if the other party had something similar to a "soul lamp" left in the clan.
Gong Chen Yingxin's long figure was half leaning on the table, with a majestic view on her chest. Her clothes were stretched out in a round and straight shape, and the clothes a few inches below the round peak were close to her faintly toned belly.
The legs are stretched out diagonally together, straight and slender, and the short hair is as cool as ever, giving people a sense of leisure.
Although she was narrating the previous events, it seemed as if it had nothing to do with her, and no emotion could be heard.
But after Li Yan understood his situation, he immediately changed the topic, and the words he asked caused a slight change in Gong Faying's always cold and stunning face.
But this change was fleeting. She raised her peerless face and looked at Li Yan again.
"The Tianli people don't like to keep other people's souls. We advocate freedom and strength, so we don't have anything like a 'soul lamp' left in the tribe, and we don't like to be restrained by others.
The reason why we can be sure that Dad and the Sixth Elder are fine is that the Third Elder is good at the 'Divination Technique' in witchcraft. This technique can predict bad luck, but it also has a powerful backlash against the caster.
If the secret is revealed, the third elder will also lose his lifespan, but this can be divided into light and heavy. Just divining the bad luck of my father is light, mainly with the help of a drop of my blood. Divination on whether the thin thread of connection will be interrupted.
If we forcefully try to uncover the secrets of heaven and specifically detect my father's current situation, etc., it will consume at least a hundred years or more of his lifespan at a time, and the cost is also huge."
Gong Chenying stopped talking when she said this. She didn't like words, so it was very rare for her to be able to explain so much to Li Yan.
"Did Chief Gong and the others leave a message about where they wanted to go before they went out, or could they find their specific location using the 'mechanism technique'?"
Li Yan tapped his finger on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly. Gong Chenying's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, but then he shook his head.
"Why, you can't determine where they went?"
Li Yan saw Gong Chenying shaking his head, showing some confusion.
If he remembered correctly, Gong Chenying had said before that the Great Elder of the Tianli Clan wanted to go out to search for Gong Shanhe and his two men. If there were no clues at all, then this proposal was nonsense.
"No, we generally know the location of Dad and the others. Although it is only an approximate location, there is still a range, but I want to know your true cultivation level!"
Gong Chenying was not stupid, he had guessed the other party's intention from Li Yan's words.
My father is already a peak powerhouse in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and with the help of the six elders in the early stage of Nascent Soul, this two-person combination has a certain chance of escaping in the hands of the great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage.
With the two of them joining forces, even if they want to encounter danger on this continent, the chances are not very high.
How dangerous it was to trap them, so the Great Elder actually wanted to go there in person, but as soon as he left, Yan San would definitely attack immediately, and the Tianli clan would be in a desperate situation.
"So you're worried about my strength, well... you don't have to worry about that! Let's put it this way, I can escape with a certain degree of confidence against a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage.
What's more, I don't necessarily want to go there, I just want to find out more about it first and discuss it in detail later.
It seems that you know their location. How many times have you performed divination over the years? Have you seen any large-scale movement of their location?"
Li Yan's words made Gong Chenying feel strong self-confidence. She didn't expect that Li Yan's strength was so strong.
After Li Yan took action last time, the Great Elder and the others had already determined that Li Yan was a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk. This made Gong Chenying unbelievable, so she had always wanted to know Li Yan's true strength.
Based on her understanding of Li Yan, Li Yan never lies, let alone
Exaggerate in terms of cultivation.
Gong Chenying's clear eyes still only flickered slightly. With her character, even when facing death, her face would not change much.
"There have been three fortune tellings about my father. The most recent one was four months ago. My father's position is still in the same area as the last two fortune tellings."
She understood what Li Yan meant. He was trying to determine whether Gong Shanhe was being hunted or was trapped somewhere. Obviously, the latter was the correct outcome.
Although the "Divination Technique" utilizes Gong Chenying's essence and blood, it also affects the lifespan of the third elder. It consumes about thirty years of lifespan each time, so divination cannot be done frequently.
Moreover, Gong Chenying consumes a drop of blood essence, and even if she swallows the best elixir in the clan, it will take at least several months to recover.
For various reasons, they only performed divination four times in more than ten years, and three of them were aimed at Gong Shanhe.
As for the Sixth Elder, after he first performed a divination with the essence and blood of his clan and found that he was not far from Gong Shanhe, he never performed divination again.
"How much do you know about the situation at that location?"
"It's at the junction of the areas of 'Wind Wild Goose Beast' and 'Wind Iron Beast'. There is an endless swamp there. Dad and the Sixth Elder should have entered it."
This time Gong Chenying answered quickly.
"Boundless Swamp? How many wind beasts will be there? Is it one clan or two clans jointly patrolling the territory?"
"That's where the two races meet. Comparatively speaking, the chances of wind beasts appearing are much less. It stands to reason that the level of danger will be greatly reduced."
Gong Chenying said slowly with a calm expression.
After hearing this, Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times.
"So, there may be restrictions in this swamp that even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot break through!"
Li Yan whispered, and then his eyes stared at Gong Chenying's beautiful eyes.
"I plan to go over there and have a look in the next few days. Don't worry, I have my own means to save my life, and after learning from the past experience of Patriarch Gong, I will only be more careful.
Otherwise, waiting like this is not a long-term solution, and perhaps Patriarch Gong and the others have reached the edge of struggling to support themselves."
After Gong Chenying heard this, his beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Whether or not you need to find the Great Elder about this matter, the three Elders will discuss it before you decide.
The great elder said that he had visited that swamp three hundred years ago. Although he had not gone deep into it, he had still done some research and knew something about the situation there.
Moreover, according to the great elder’s original intention, at least two Nascent Soul monks are still needed. As in the past, it is good for each other to take care of each other, and one of them must be himself."
Gong Chenying spoke softly.
Li Yan did not answer immediately, but rubbed his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.
The room fell into a long silence for a moment. Gong Chenying didn't want Li Yan to take such a risk without knowing it.
When forty breaths passed, Li Yan chuckled.
"The Great Elder will definitely not be able to escape. Yan San is always watching him. And now the fourth elder of the Tianli clan has also been severely injured by the opponent, leaving only the second elder and the third elder who can fight against the enemy at any time.
Even judging by the number of fourth-level monsters from the three tribes that escaped last time, you are still at a slight disadvantage.
Not to mention the second elder. He himself advocated the idea of focusing on defense and not spreading the troops. How could he be willing to send strong men out again?
Now that the wind beast continues to attack, once the discussion is held, the second elder's suggestion will definitely be approved by the majority of the tribe.
Therefore, it is meaningless for you to bring this up, and it may cause unrest within the clan. I think it is better for me to find the great elder alone to find out the news about that swamp."
Li Yan came here not only for the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", but also to help Gong Chenying.
He has already figured it out these days. After his sudden appearance last time to disrupt the situation, the high-end combat power comparison between the wind beasts and the Tianli tribe has gradually become more balanced.
At present, the most urgent thing that the Tianli people need to solve is to rescue Gong Shanhe and the others. This will not only boost their morale, but also stabilize their high-end combat power in one fell swoop.
If planned well, it is possible to launch a desperate counterattack to break the strange joint and continuous attack of the three tribes of wind beasts.
Although Li Yan didn't think he could defeat the opponent in one go, with the return of Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder, and the fact that he might be able to further inflict heavy damage on the opponent, they would be unable to attack again.
"you……"
Regarding Li Yan's proposal, Gong Chenying's always cold and unparalleled face finally showed a look of hesitation. She was still worried that there was something wrong with Li Yan's decision.
For a moment, she felt that Li Yan was right. Among her classmates, Li Yan had always been the most calm-minded. This was another reason why she believed in Li Yan.
When he was picking in the secret realm, Li Yan showed abilities that were completely incompatible with his own cultivation, so Gong Chenying also wanted to use Li Yan's power to rescue his father and the Sixth Elder.
But on the other hand, she was still worried about the danger level of Li Yan's past. Everything was not as simple as talking about and analyzing it.
After all, how dangerous it is there, but two Nascent Soul monks were trapped there for more than ten years and couldn't get out.
