The tall old man in gray clothes did not look back, and still looked at the northern sky, with thoughts in his eyes.
"They come from different sects, and their techniques are also different. In my memory, only a few of them know each other, but they are only casual acquaintances.
However, they all received orders from the superior sects they were attached to, and they had deliberately spread the news about 'Pangusha' and the miscellaneous spirit roots.
But with their highest level of cultivation in the Golden Core Realm, they certainly don’t have the ability to transmit these messages to other continents, but they can make these messages spread in various towns and cities in the Arctic Continent..."
Having said this, the old man in gray seemed to be lost in thought again, while the young man in white frowned.
"Uncle Master, this means that they must have suspicions, but they are just small chess pieces. We still need to follow these clues and investigate all the way up.
But most of these people come from small sects at the bottom. If there are more branches in the upward search, more and more people will be involved, which will become more and more cumbersome.
It is inevitable to waste time like this. The longer the time goes on, the more dangerous the master will be!"
The tall old man in gray clothes turned his head at this moment and glanced at the young man in white clothes.
"Don't rush, it's not that complicated!"
"Oh? Uncle Master, what do you mean?"
Pei Buchong had a look of confusion on his face.
"Because, most of the people we found have one thing in common. They come from different sects, and there are even some casual cultivators.
Therefore, the techniques they practice are mixed, but there are still some people here who practice an auxiliary technique, a technique with the same general outline.
It may be that in order to make them work diligently, they are rewarded with exercises so that they can benefit from improving their cultivation and work harder.
These people are not casual cultivators. No matter what kind of spiritual roots they have, such as the yang metal, fire, earth, yin attributes of wood, and water spiritual roots, there is a blending of yin and yang.
If you don’t pay careful attention, it’s easiest to ignore it. Even myself included, if you don’t think about who is dealing with us, you won’t notice it.
After all, heaven and earth are inherently divided into yin and yang, and the same is true for the five elements. It is possible for many exercises to achieve the blending of yin and yang, especially Taoism, which pays more attention to this.
I found that there were a total of seventeen people who had this characteristic in their exercises. These people were the people who were most enthusiastic about promoting those two things in the city or town. From this point of view, it is enough to prove our previous
Just a guess."
When the tall old man in gray clothes said this, his eyes became burning and threatening.
Pei Buchong's eyes also lit up. He had been living alone for so many years. If he could survive, he must be extremely smart. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed.
"I understand what Uncle Master means. Let's use the memories of these seventeen people to find out who told him about this matter.
After you find that person, you can actually find the family or sect he belongs to and directly search for the strongest soul. Others don't need to worry about it at all, at least in the early stage.
According to Uncle Master, nine out of ten people commanded by our enemies are their subordinates or affiliated sects.
Therefore, if we find the strongest members of the sect, we can then obtain the most critical information, which can greatly reduce the search time..."
Pei Buchong instantly understood what his uncle meant, and went upstream directly. He discarded the details and interference first, and followed the main pole to inquire, so that he could trace the source as quickly as possible.
Unless all the clues are finally cut off, then go back and look for a nearby branch, and then break through in another direction from here! "These seventeen people all have common secret characteristics. I think tracing their origins will be quick, and we will soon find the headquarters they set up in the Arctic Continent.
Of course, there is a faster way, that is, if I fully appear in the world, they will definitely try their best to lure me into the bait, and in that case, they will expose more loopholes!"
"Uncle Master, no, I think it's better to act in secret. There is room for maneuver in everything, and we have already found these clues. There is no need to put ourselves in the open and take risks!"
Pei Buchong's expression changed slightly and he immediately tried to dissuade him.
There were only some words he couldn't say. Even his master's cultivation level was now missing, and even the connection with that ray of spiritual thought was completely cut off.
Uncle Dongfu entered the union much later than the master, and his current cultivation may not be higher than the master.
Dong Fuyi smiled.
"That's what I said, if our sect likes to force things, then we should continue to act secretly and step up!"
Dong Fuyi looked at Pei Buchong, feeling a little sad in his heart.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, he found that this boy was very suitable for him. He wanted to be strong in battle, smart and smart, and he was extremely shrewd, and he was very loyal to his sect.
"Senior Brother Qian Zhong, you are doomed. If you have a person like this to carry on your legacy, you don't have to worry. Alas, that kid Li Yan is just a fool at first glance, and he foolishly acts as a furnace for others..."
He complained a little in his heart. In his impression, Li Yan was just a simple, stupid and rough guy from Shancun. Compared with the heroic Pei Buchong in front of him, he was really far behind.
"Hurry up and find Senior Brother Qianzhong. The successor I found with great difficulty cannot die early and be reincarnated because he is too stupid and stupid!"
While Dong Fuyi was thinking, his figure began to blur, while Pei Buchong swayed and flew in another direction!
…………
Time flies and another two years have passed. In Fengshen Continent, in the "Tianli Hall", the first elder, second elder, and fifth elder gathered together.
"Lao Wu, how did you find out?"
The first elder asked. After the fifth elder came back today, they immediately gathered to discuss. The fifth elder shook his head.
"Where I went west, I followed the previous discussion and mainly used the ultra-long-distance teleportation array to teleport all the way. I went to two designated places.
First, we arrived at the place where the ‘Tiangui Tribe’ was located, but they had been exterminated by a local group of wind beasts seven years ago, and all their resources had been annexed and occupied by that group of wind beasts.
Nowadays, there are a lot of wind beasts roaming there, and there are no sects nearby.
During my investigation, I felt the breath of at least six fourth-order wind beasts, and two of them were particularly obscure. I didn’t dare to get too close. I suspected that there might be a fourth-order peak!"
The fifth elder said solemnly.
Their time is very tight now. In the past two years, he can only go to designated places, and there are teleportation arrays that can reach nearby places. Otherwise, this time is not enough to even travel.
"What? The Tiangui Tribe was exterminated? Are you sure it was exterminated and not moved away?"
After hearing what the fifth elder said, the expressions of several people changed, and the second elder quickly asked.
"Tiangui Tribe"
But they carefully selected this clan. This clan is not as strong as the Tianli clan, and the terrain and resources it occupies are good. Although it is not as good as here, it can still be considered a good choice.
They originally planned to go over and talk to the "Tiangui Tribe" to see if they could set aside a certain area for the Tianli Tribe, and then the two tribes would work together to deal with the wind beasts there.
If the other party does not agree, the Tianli people may take it by force.
For the continuation of one's own race, so-called invasion and occupation are the most normal things even in the mortal world.
There is no such thing as justice and kindness in the world. If the Tianli people want to inherit and survive, they can only exist strong and prey on the weak. But the fifth elder actually brought back such news.
The words asked by the second elder seemed to have the same result. There was no "Tiangui Tribe" in that area anyway, but the actual meaning was different.
The "Tiangui Tribe" moved out, which also means that they were not strong enough and were forced to leave. However, the annihilation of the tribe was completely crushed by the other side, which means that they did not even have a chance to escape.
In the former case, the Tianli people still have a fighting chance, but if it is confirmed to be the latter, it means that the fifth elder's perception was correct. There were at least two peak fourth-level wind beasts there.
The overall strength of the Tianli tribe is slightly stronger than that of the "Tiangui tribe", but it is not at the level of crushing them. The outcome will be death.
"It's the genocide! I stayed at the perimeter for a while and captured four third-level wind beasts. The information I got from the soul search was the same.
As for how many peak fourth-level wind beasts there are, the memory of those third-level wind beasts is not very certain. I only know that the leaders are very strong, so powerful that they cannot achieve specific realms.
They had only seen six commanders take action together once, and that time when all six high-level wind beasts took action, the 'Tiangui Tribe' disappeared.
In their memories, two leaders surrounded the old clan leader of the ‘Tiangui Tribe’, and within a hundred breaths, they killed each other!”
The fifth elder immediately replied.
"So, it's only in recent years that a fourth-level wind beast there has been promoted again! This caught the 'Tiangui Tribe' off guard, otherwise their clan leader would also be a late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse."
The second elder spoke slowly. This situation was just like the wind beasts dealing with them during the decisive battle with Yan San. They waited for their own clan to become stronger and then rushed forward to annihilate their opponents in one fell swoop.
"Later, I went to the 'Heng Ji Sect', but the result was also disappointing. The 'Heng Ji Sect' had joined forces with the 'Jade Star Sect' to deal with the wind beasts in that area.
Moreover, the Wind Beast side is currently suppressed with an absolute advantage, and a third party cannot get in at all!"
The fifth elder went on to say that this time he and the third elder were sent out to find suitable places to move, and the places they went to were all carefully selected.
It is particularly important to have teleportation formations as close as possible to the Tianli tribe, in order to reduce accidents during the migration and the death of a large number of tribesmen, and more importantly, the other party is not as strong as the Tianli tribe.
For example, the fifth elder was responsible for two places in the extreme west, but the result was that he could not move there.
If you go further west, it may take decades just to explore the time. In most places, there are no long-distance teleportation arrays at all. The Tianli people definitely don't have that time.
"If we could be given a period of time, or even thirty years, we would have some preparation time, but now we are completely unprepared!" The great elder spoke at this time. It was obvious that the Tianli people were heading west and no longer considered a place to move. Then he continued.
"Lao Wu, after you rest for a few days, you can go to the north again. There are two or three places in the north that we hope to occupy. We will discuss it in detail before you leave.
But you have to calculate the time of coming and going, and you should come back within three years. If not, we can only set a general direction, forcefully set off, and slowly find a place to stay."
"Isn't the third elder back yet? I don't know what the situation is like in the east she went to?"
The fifth elder nodded. Now Gong Shanhe, the sixth elder, and the fourth elder are all in retreat, so only he and the third elder can be used.
If Yan San and the others want to take advantage of the situation, Gong Shanhe and the Fourth Elder can take action at any time. It's just that they are not in their prime, but there is no problem in restricting each other, not to mention there is a Hongyin nun.
The fifth elder didn't see the third elder who left together, so he couldn't help asking. He also hoped that some good news would come from the other direction.
"She hasn't come back yet. She has to explore three locations in the east, so it will definitely take longer."
The second elder interrupted at this time, the Tianli people had already fully considered migration, and more than ten years would not be enough for them.
Although they are anxious, the most they can dispatch now is two Nascent Souls, otherwise, they will not be able to check and balance Yan San and the others.
The fifth elder just wanted to confirm. When he saw the expressions of the first elder and the second elder, he had already made some guesses.
"By the way, where did Li Yan go? Isn't he back to the Desolate Moon Continent?"
When the fifth elder came back, his spiritual consciousness scanned the pavilion where Li Yan lived, but no aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator was found there.
"A Ying said that he had something to do when he went out. Old Five, you should seize the opportunity to rest for a few days when you go back. Time is running out now!"
The Great Elder glanced at him, and after a simple sentence, he once again asked the Fifth Elder to go back first.
He didn't want to say more about Li Yan. He needed to win over Li Yan, and he might need to rely heavily on him during the subsequent migration.
He knew very well what attitude the Second Elder and the others had towards Li Yan. Talking too much would only attract criticism.
And when the time comes, once there is a estrangement, Gong Shanhe may be the first to get angry. He is quite satisfied with Li Yan as "King Qing", not to mention that he is also the person Gong Chenying picked out for his liking.
If someone says something bad about Li Yan now, with Gong Shanhe's strength, he will definitely intervene directly.
Having said that, it doesn't matter if Li Yan is going back to the Desolate Moon Continent now. His status as 'King Qing' will not restrict the freedom of others, and Li Yan is still a quasi 'King Qing'.
When the fifth elder saw this, his eyes flashed a few times. Seeing that the elder had already stood up, he said no more, but he was still complaining in his heart.
"Isn't he a good fighter? He also wants to be the 'King of Qinghe'. Wouldn't it be better to let him contribute to the clan in the past few years and explore a few places? He will not see that the situation is not good and go looking for someone to leave quickly.
There’s a way…”
Time flies, the sun and the moon change, and five months later, Li Yan is sitting cross-legged in a Zen room.
It has been three and a half years since he came to Salmon Temple. The time Zhuo Lingfeng promised to give him a reply in another year has long passed, but Li Yan did not wait for him to come.
However, Li Yan did not urge the other party. He still trusted Zhuo Lingfeng, so he immersed himself in cultivation.
