Ji Tianxing ignored the guards, wasted no time, and flew straight to Xuankong Mountain.
He had read the books in the study before and had some understanding of Hanging Mountain.
That is one of the forbidden areas of the Duntian Sect, located eight hundred miles north of the mountain range, among the mountains deep within the boundary.
According to the records in the book, the hanging mountain is a natural formation and has a history of thousands of years.
As early as more than two thousand years ago, when the founder of the Duntian Sect chose to locate the sect here, the Hanging Mountain already existed.
No one knows why that thousand-foot-high mountain peak is suspended in the sky, obscured by white clouds and thick fog.
However, Xuankong Mountain contains mysterious power, which is of great benefit to cultivation. It has always been a retreat place for the head of Duntian Sect and the guardian of the law.
It is said that there are strong men stationed on Hanging Mountain, and there are also a large number of elite masters guarding it, and there are also ferocious beasts entrenched there.
Ordinary disciples, deacons and elders in the sect dare not approach Xuankong Mountain, otherwise they will be severely punished.
Ji Tianxing pretended to be Ji Wucuo's disciple Li Chang and was not qualified to set foot on Xuankong Mountain. If he was discovered, he would have to be punished.
But he just wanted to rescue the little black dragon as quickly as possible, so how could he care so much?
His figure blended into the darkness, cut through the night silently, and flew towards Xuankong Mountain as fast as lightning.
On the way, he passed by a forest with a radius of several hundred miles and looked down at the monster beasts being raised in the forest.
He silently cast a spell to sense the little black dragon's breath and look for traces of the little black dragon.
Not long after, he crossed the jungle and continued flying towards Hanging Mountain.
What is certain is that the little black dragon is not in that jungle.
"After Protector Zuo captured the little black dragon, he has been away from the Zuo Palace for the past few days and has been hiding in Xuankong Mountain.
It seems that the little black dragon is probably imprisoned by him in Xuankong Mountain!"
He silently speculated in his heart: "The little black dragon will definitely not give in easily, and the Duntian Sect will not tame it so easily. Moreover, it is a divine beast black dragon, and the Duntian Sect will definitely be reluctant to kill it..."
He could only confirm that the little black dragon's life would not be in danger for the time being.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ji Tianxing flew into the vast mountains.
Under the night, mountains with a height of thousands of feet stand in all directions, like countless giant beasts that are eager to devour people, dormant in the darkness.
In the center of dozens of peaks, suspended in the sky thousands of feet above the ground, is a thousand-foot mountain.
Even on a night with bright moonlight and few stars, the area around the mountain is covered with white clouds and fog, covering half of the mountain.
The mountain is steep, with cliffs everywhere, dotted with some dark green trees.
Ji Tianxing looked up and saw brightly lit lights halfway up the mountain, with vague figures moving around.
On the top of the mountain, several ancient palaces were built, which were magnificent and had the domineering power to suppress the heaven and the earth.
But the palace was dark, with only a few scattered lights shining faintly.
Ji Tianxing calmed down and quietly approached the hanging mountain, always observing the movements around him.
He is like a ghost, blending into the dark night. Even if someone flies by, they may not be able to detect him.
A hundred breaths later, he arrived at the foot of Hanging Mountain, lurking in the thick white clouds and fog.
He used his soul to investigate and found that the entire Hanging Mountain was protected by an invisible formation.
Once an external force touches the formation, the formation's light will light up, alerting the guards and strong men on the mountain.
"Sure enough, it is the forbidden area of Duntian Sect. It is so heavily guarded. The formation protecting Xuankong Mountain is actually a soul-level mid-level formation."
Ji Tianxing observed it for a while and couldn't help but frown.
For him, it is not difficult to crack the soul-level mid-level formation, and it is rare to not alert anyone.
He flew slowly around the foot of the mountain, carefully observing the situation around him.
Half an hour later, he flew around Hanging Mountain and clearly observed the situation on the mountain.
From halfway up the mountain, there are about thirty sentries and hundreds of guards from the Tianyuan Realm, patrolling according to regular rules.
In the palace on the top of the mountain, it seemed silent and no one was moving, but there were fluctuations in the aura of a powerful soul refiner.
Ji Tianxing went around to the back of Xuankong Mountain and hid under a hidden cliff. He secretly released the power of his soul to explore how to break the defensive formation.
Two quarters of an hour later, he roughly understood how to break the formation, but he was in no rush to act.
Three quarters of an hour later, a group of guards wearing armor and swords flew past him and walked away leisurely.
When the bodyguards disappeared into the night, he immediately released the power of his soul and began to break through the defensive formation.
Four-quarters of an hour later, another patrol guard flew in from a distance and was about to pass above Ji Tianxing's head.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing successfully cracked the formation, opened a gap in the formation, and slipped in in a flash.
The next moment, the magic circle healed automatically, and he was already in the Hanging Mountain.
During the whole process, he did not alert anyone, including the patrolling guard not far away.
When the team of guards flew over this area, Ji Tianxing had already disappeared into the darkness and quietly ran to the top of the mountain.
In just one stick of incense, he searched the top of the mountain.
He used the power of his soul to explore the five palaces on the top of the mountain and hundreds of rooms, large and small.
The result is unquestionable, the little black dragon is not on the top of the mountain.
He hid in the corner of a palace, frowned and thought: "I just used a secret method to detect it, and the aura of the little black dragon is nearby.
But it’s not on the top of the mountain. Could it be that it’s inside the Hanging Mountain?”
Thinking of this, he would use the earth escape method to get into the mountain and search carefully.
But at this time, a sudden change occurred.
"call out!"
A dazzling sword light suddenly burst out of the night sky and pierced Ji Tianxing's head.
The blazing white sword light contains the vast power of the soul and is extremely powerful.
Ji Tianxing didn't think much, subconsciously raised his right hand and slapped it out.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and the ten-foot-long divine soul sword was directly smashed to pieces by him.
His palms were intact, but his body could not withstand the huge impact, and he took three steps back.
Ji Tianxing's expression changed, his eyes flashed with cold light, "Oops, I've been discovered!"
Only then did he remember that in a certain palace on the top of the mountain, there was a strong man in the soul refining realm dormant, practicing in seclusion in a secret room.
"It must have been when I was searching for the little black dragon that I alerted the soul-refining expert!"
When this thought flashed through his mind, another white light struck in the night sky ahead.
"Whoosh!"
White light cut through the night sky and instantly fell on the roof ten feet away in front of him.
When the white light dissipated, a tall figure appeared.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe, two meters tall and with a majestic face.
This man's appearance was extraordinary, his eyes were shining with an intimidating light, and his whole body exuded a noble and powerful aura.
He stared at Ji Tianxing condescendingly, with a cold light surging in his eyes, and said in a serious tone: "A bold traitor who dares to break into the forbidden area without permission should be punished."
