Zhang Yao took out a small black bag and a jade bottle from the body of the sword-controlling monk.
The jade bottle contained healing medicinal powder, and Zhang Yao took the jade bottle into his arms.
Immediately, a trace of energy and blood left the body and escaped into the small black bag. The small black bag instantly deflated, and a green light disappeared into the center of his eyebrows.
Zhang Yao picked up the sword-controlling monk's spiritual sword again, and took a glance at it. There was no spiritual point on the spiritual sword, and it was still a fake spiritual weapon.
Zhang Yao opened his legs and headed in the direction pointed by the sword-controlling monk.
What the Sword Master said before he died may be true or false.
But regardless of whether it was true or false, Zhang Yao always wanted to take a look.
If the group of monks gathered on the other side of the mountain hadn't left yet and there was a way to find Ye Youran, it would actually be a good thing for Zhang Yao.
At the foot of the mountain, five monks gathered together.
"The monk who left before is right. Although you have a way to find Ye Youran, it will take a lot of time. Even if you find Ye Youran, there will only be one head. Besides, it is still unclear whether the Ling family and the Chu family will appreciate it.
You go ahead, it would be safer for me to look for the Immortal Emperor's portrait." One of the monks backed down.
"You can also look for the Immortal Emperor's portrait on the road." The leading monk said.
The monk who was about to leave paused for a moment, pondered a little, shook his head and said: "Forget it, you go." The five of them are all third-grade monks, but he is only the first stage of the third-grade, and he is the lowest level among the five. He really has to find it on the way.
It would be impossible for him to obtain the Immortal Emperor's portrait even if he did so. It would be safer to search for the Immortal Emperor's portrait alone.
After saying that, the monk wielded his sword and left.
The search for Ye Youran is not a secret. Even if it is leaked, it does not matter. This person is determined to leave, and neither the leading monk nor the remaining three people have any intention of forcing this person to stay.
"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?" The leading monk looked at the remaining three people.
The remaining three people shook their heads and said: "Since there is a way to find Ye Youran, it is better to leave early. Even if others cannot find Ye Youran, they may still bump into Ye Youran."
"Okay!" The leading monk closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Follow me."
The four of them drew their swords and left.
The height of the four people's swords is very low, only half a foot above the ground. Moreover, the four people are three feet apart and connected horizontally in a line. In this way, wherever the four people pass by, as long as there is a statue of the Immortal Emperor, they will not be blocked.
Omission.
None of the four monks, including the monk who left just now, noticed that someone had touched near them and listened to everyone's words word for word.
"These people really have a way to find Ye Youran. It seems that only the leader monk really knows the way." Zhang Yao whispered in his heart and followed quietly.
When Zhang Yao followed the four people, he walked in areas that the four people in front of him had already explored.
Although it is impossible for Zhang Yao to find the Immortal Emperor's portrait in this explored area, there is no need to worry about it being exposed.
If Zhang Yao followed the four people in an area that the four people in front of them had not explored, and encountered the Immortal Emperor's statue on the way, and the Immortal Emperor's statue burst out with light, Zhang Yao would be exposed in an instant.
The sky above the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's portrait is completely white, with no sun, moon or stars, and there seems to be no distinction between day and night.
Zhang Yao had been following Zhang Yao for unknown lengths of time, when suddenly a golden light shot into the sky in front of him.
The four people in front all had happy expressions on their faces and hurriedly moved over. The monk closest to the statue of the Immortal Emperor immediately threw a stone of faith.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light disappeared.
"I found this Immortal Emperor's portrait, and it should belong to me!" Before the other three people could express their opinions, the monk who discovered the Immortal Emperor's portrait quickly put away the Immortal Emperor's portrait and looked at the other three people warily.
Everyone entered the forbidden area just to find the Immortal Emperor's portrait. If they were members of the same family, there would be no need to argue over who owns the Immortal Emperor's portrait.
But the four of them come from four different families.
Although everyone gathered together to find Ye Youran, the ultimate goal of the four looking for Ye Youran was to give the family a chance to obtain a statue of the Immortal Emperor.
Now that he has obtained a statue of the Immortal Emperor, he naturally has no intention of following everyone to find Ye Youran.
"Let's all look for the Immortal Emperor's portrait side by side. We all have a share in this Immortal Emperor's portrait!" The other two monks stared at the monk who got the Immortal Emperor's portrait with burning eyes.
"Haha." The monk who received the Immortal Emperor's portrait smiled coldly.
The atmosphere became subtle, and the three of them seemed to have no intention of continuing to look for Ye Youran.
The leading monk frowned and said slowly: "Since you discovered the Immortal Emperor's portrait first, you can keep it temporarily. There is still some distance to go. The four of us will work together to search for it. Maybe we will find the Immortal Emperor's portrait on the way. By then, people will
Everyone has a share. The golden light erupting from the Immortal Emperor's portrait just now will definitely attract other monks to come here, and we can't stay here any longer!"
"Okay!" The remaining three responded in unison.
The four of them continued on their way with their swords.
After leaving the place where the Immortal Emperor's portrait was found, the monk who obtained the Immortal Emperor's portrait flashed his eyes, suddenly turned his spiritual sword, and prepared to wield the sword in another direction and leave.
At this moment, the two monks next to him took action at the same time and attacked this person.
The three of them fought together instantly. The three of them landed on the ground one after another, using their spiritual swords to attack each other.
The leading monk restrained his breath, stepped aside, and watched with cold eyes.
The four of them are not from the same aristocratic family, so it is difficult for them to go down the same path. From the moment the four of them discovered the portrait of the Immortal Emperor, each of them had their own thoughts.
The three monks fighting together were of equal strength. Two people besieged one person, and the monk who got the Immortal Emperor's portrait was quickly killed by the two of them together.
"Kill this person first, and then divide the Immortal Emperor's portrait!" The two monks did not rush to snatch the Immortal Emperor's portrait from the corpse, but joined forces to kill the leading monk.
The two monks were both high-ranking third-grade monks, and the leader was a peak third-grade monk. If they did not join forces to kill the leading monk, it would have been impossible for the two high-ranking third-grade monks to take away the Immortal Emperor's portrait.
The leading monk sneered, and the three of them instantly fought together.
Previously, the two of them worked together to crush the monk who obtained the Immortal Emperor's portrait, but now they were crushed by the leading monk.
After a while, these two men were found dead on the spot just like the monks who had obtained the Immortal Emperor's portrait before.
The leading monk put away the spirit sword, and put away the faith stones, medicine bottles, and spirit swords on the three corpses, and then picked up the portrait of the Immortal Emperor.
After glancing at the three corpses, the leading monk sneered and said: "Since I was the one who suggested joining forces, this statue of the Immortal Emperor will naturally belong to me!"
After getting the Immortal Emperor's portrait, as long as nothing happens to him and he persists until the selection of eight sect disciples is completed, the family will definitely get a Immortal Emperor's portrait this time.
As for getting more statues of the Immortal Emperor and trying to win the first place among the eight disciples! This person has no such intention at all.
Even though he is also at the peak of the third level, any one of the eight seed monks is stronger than him.
The hope of competing for the first place is too slim. Once involved, the statue of the Immortal Emperor that has been obtained may not be able to be kept, and he may even die in the competition.
Thinking of this, this person no longer wanted to find Ye Youran. He just wanted to find a safe place to hide and wait for the selection of the eight disciples to be completed.
At this moment, the third-grade monk turned his head and looked somewhere, and saw a person slowly walking out from there.
The third-grade monk was not surprised.
The golden light emitted from the Immortal Emperor's portrait will definitely attract monks. Although the four of them left the place where the Immortal Emperor's portrait was found, this place is not far from the place where it was found, and there is a possibility that monks will come to them.
After seeing the person coming, the third-grade cultivator was slightly startled, then a flash of joy flashed in his eyes and said: "You are... Mo Yao!"
The third-grade monk couldn't believe that his luck was so good, so he paused slightly while speaking.
The third-grade monk thought that Zhang Yao came here after seeing the golden glow of the Immortal Emperor's portrait, but he didn't know that Zhang Yao had been following the four of them here.
Ye Youran's head is worth a statue of the Immortal Emperor, and Mo Yao's head is also worth a statue of the Immortal Emperor!
The third-level monk no longer planned to look for Ye Youran, but he didn't expect Mo Yao to come to him. It was such good luck that he couldn't stop him.
"Being a human being must have a beginning and an end," Zhang Yao said.
If this third-grade monk continues to look for Ye Youran, Zhang Yao will not show up. But after the third-grade monk got the Immortal Emperor's portrait, he looked like he had no intention of looking for Ye Youran. How could this work! Zhang Yao also hoped to use this person's power to find Ye Youran.
Ye Youran, how could he watch this person give up halfway.
The third-grade monk's face was stunned. What do you mean by this?
I can’t figure it out, and the third-grade monk is too lazy to think about it.
However, the third-grade monk was not careless.
It has been several days since everyone entered the forbidden area. A first-grade monk can survive until now. Luck is part of it, and strength is also part of it. Moreover, the momentum of the third-grade monk has not deliberately restrained, and the realm of the peak of the third-grade has fluctuated obviously. Zhang Yao is not stupid, dares
He took the initiative to show up, obviously with some confidence. He was probably thinking that he could escape unharmed even if he couldn't grab the Immortal Emperor's portrait.
And an even more important point is that there are two spiritual swords hanging on Zhang Yao's waist.
Most monks only wield one spiritual sword, one of which belongs to Zhang Yao himself, and the other spiritual sword was obviously taken by Zhang Yao from other monks.
The spiritual sword is there, and the monk is here. If the spiritual sword is taken away, it means that the owner of the sword is dead.
Except for Zhang Yao, none of the candidates who entered the forbidden area were lower than second-grade monks. The extra spiritual sword meant that Zhang Yao had killed at least a second-grade monk!
The guesses made by the third-grade monks are completely consistent with common sense. If they were made about other monks, they would hardly be wrong.
But this guess is completely inconsistent with Zhang Yao.
Both spiritual swords did not belong to Zhang Yao, but were obtained by Zhang Yao after killing two third-grade monks.
"disease!"
The third-grade monk's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he shouted softly, and his spiritual sword shot away like a bolt of lightning.
Zhang Yao threw off his legs and rushed towards the third-grade monk. The spiritual sword was like a cold light, shooting towards him.
Zhang Yao ignored him and seemed unable to react in time.
The third-grade monk had a sneer on his face. This sword will surely kill Zhang Yao!
Just when the spiritual sword was about to penetrate Zhang Yao's head, Zhang Yao suddenly squatted down, his body almost touching the ground, while the spiritual sword flew over his head.
When the spiritual sword flew by, Zhang Yao stretched out his whole body, exerted force on his legs, and suddenly rushed forward.
The speed is even faster than the spirit sword.
The corner of the third-grade monk's eyes twitched, and the next moment, Zhang Yao had already arrived in front of the third-grade monk.
