Li Yan made his decision as soon as he thought about it. Immediately, with a thought, two figures, one black and one white, appeared beside him.
"I've met the master!"
"Owner!"
Qianji and Zikun looked around curiously, and then they were shocked to find that the Shadow Mistress was missing. In order not to disturb Li Yan and the Shadow Mistress's time together, the two demons had been practicing in the "Tuban" recently. of.
"This is the underground of the swamp. There are some ghost-like things outside. Some of their cultivation levels have even reached the Nascent Soul stage.
I will set up a formation later, and you will be responsible for guarding the surrounding area. Just remind me if anything happens. If nothing happens, I will focus on exploring the situation inside the cave. "
Li Yan briefly talked about the situation here and began to arrange the formation.
After a piece of light green light flashed, a formation was set up around the three of them, which was the "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation".
After more forked roads branched out from the eight passages, if Li Yan wanted to explore carefully, he would need to continue to branch out more spiritual consciousness to go deeper. There are even smaller forked roads among those forked roads, and they twist and turn and extend for unknown lengths.
Under such circumstances, he no longer had the energy to take into account the situation around him. Although he had some guesses about the situation here, he was still afraid that the two men in red robes who were bleeding champions outside the cave would suddenly enter.
Therefore, Li Yan must prepare his own defense in advance and be able to withstand at least one blow from the Nascent Soul Realm monks. The "Yuan Qi Taiqing Formation" is of course a must.
Letting Qian Ji and Zi Kun come out to assist and guard is for a more secure move.
Before, when Li Yan was retreating, he could inexplicably enter the thick black air. There was no guarantee that some changes would not happen quietly in this cave. It was best to do everything in the most meticulous way.
After Li Yan gave a brief explanation, Qianji and Zikun asked a few more questions and finally understood their situation.
The two demons couldn't help but look at each other, and then looked at the entrance of the cave. There were actually two Nascent Soul-level ghosts there, and their attack methods were a bit weird. It seemed that they could use the cold ghosts here and the power of heaven and earth to kill Li in one move. Yan forced himself into the cave.
Of course, they knew better than anyone else what kind of cultivation Li Yan had, and they were not afraid of fighting against several people of the same level. However, Li Yan did not say that he did not try his best, and he was not a person who was very happy with his achievements.
After Li Yan finished explaining, he immediately waved his hand, and the spirit stones flew around one after another. They fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant. Then he pinched the magic spell, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted before returning to normal.
After the "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation" was activated by him, Qianji and Zikun stood in two directions, with one facing the entrance of the cave and the other observing the surroundings at all times.
Immediately, Li Yan sat down cross-legged, and his consciousness once again covered the eight passages. This time, he wanted to carefully explore all the forks...
Time passed like this bit by bit. In the darkness, there was no sense of time, sun and moon, only the repeated whistling wind coming from the deep and distant cave.
About an hour and a half later, Li Yan, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were shining with a frightening light. He stood up suddenly, and the two demons also turned to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan waved his sleeves, and the green light flashed, and he had put away the "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation".
"let's go!"
After he whispered to the two demons, he lifted them into the air and flew quickly towards one of the passages. qs
"Master, have you discovered the Shadow Mistress?"
As they walked forward, Qianji, who was standing beside him, immediately asked.
"Not yet, but there are other discoveries!"
Li Yan shook his head.
Qianji's words made him regret in his heart that he had made a mistake in his judgment. He was originally afraid that Gong Chenying would be in danger, so he left her in a safer place above. Unexpectedly, he lost contact with her in the end.
Seeing that Li Yan didn't want to say more, Qianji immediately shut up.
The three of them moved forward quickly in the darkness. Whenever they encountered a fork in the road, Li Yan would choose one of the directions and enter directly.
He was there before
In the direction he wanted to go, there was a mark of divine consciousness left behind, and of course he looked very familiar.
After the three of them flew for about half a stick of incense, Li Yan suddenly stopped.
At this time, a cave appeared in front of them. They were five hundred feet away from the cave. Fortunately, the road here was no longer tortuous, otherwise they would not be able to see the end.
"Master, that is..."
The two demons suddenly discovered that there was a group of things in the cave at the end of the road. The group of things looked like a person sitting cross-legged. Even at such a close distance, they could not detect any aura fluctuations from each other.
"dead body?"
Qianji and Zikun looked at each other, but neither of them felt alive.
"You guys just stand here and don't move around. I'll go over and take a look!"
As Li Yan spoke, he strode forward, but when he was still a hundred feet away from the cave entrance, he was blocked by an invisible barrier.
When Li Yan's consciousness arrived here, it was also blocked by this barrier, so he didn't show any surprise.
There was a person sitting in the cave. The person also had short hair and was wearing a black robe. He was tall, but the black robe was a few times too big, as if it was worn on a tall frame.
At this moment, he was forming a strange seal with his hands, his eyes were closed tightly, and his cheekbones were raised high. Even Li Yan could hardly detect the aura on his body, like a dead person.
"The formation restriction is not weak!"
After Li Yan observed carefully for a while, he suddenly took a step back and took a lunge. Then with a flash of light on his body, he punched the invisible restriction in front of him.
Although this attack did not use too much power from the immortal ghost wind essence and blood, nor did it unleash the full power of the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", it was still powerful.
"boom!"
Two balls of light, one yellow and one black, burst out under Li Yan's fist, and a loud noise shook the entire cave, and many pieces of ice and gravel fell.
In the distance, Qianji and Zikun's eyes showed horror, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back. Li Yan was no longer something they could guess.
After Li Yan punched him, he immediately withdrew his hand. Then, he stood on the spot and looked up to the front.
The moment Li Yan stopped his momentum, the person sitting cross-legged within the confines of the formation suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura emerged.
When he saw a figure standing in front of him, he stood up suddenly, followed by a powerful spiritual consciousness that swept towards Li Yan instantly.
At this time, Li Yan had his hands folded in his sleeves, but his previously hidden cultivation suddenly exploded, and the powerful strength of the mid-stage Nascent Soul was revealed without reservation.
The man's consciousness quickly swept over Li Yan's body. When he saw Li Yan clearly, the originally alert look on his face turned into a daze.
"Huh? In the middle stage of Nascent Soul, you...are you a human monk?"
"I've met Patriarch Gong!"
Li Yan leaned forward slightly and made a ritual.
As soon as he said these words, coupled with the salute he performed, the tall man in the formation was even more stunned. He hesitated and spoke.
"Huh? Fellow Taoist, you...do you know Gong? Who are you and why are you here?"
Although the man was extremely thin and his aura was alternately strong and weak, there was a domineering look in his eyes that looked down on the world.
Although the face of the tall and thin man only showed a look of daze, but at this moment his heart was already surging. It had been a long time since he had seen a living being here. To be precise, all he saw were ghosts, wind and beasts.
Why did a human monk suddenly appear today, and he brought two monsters with him.
He could be sure that the person and two demons in front of him were definitely not the illusion of ghosts, winds and beasts. He had fought against each other for so many years, so he still believed that he would not make a mistake in his judgment.
Moreover, the person in front of him was obviously a powerful monk of the same level as himself. Why was there a hint of humility in the gesture he performed, which would never appear among monks of the same level?
What surprised him even more was that the other party actually recognized him again, and after he looked at the other party carefully, he had no impression of him at all, whether it was his appearance or his aura.
Li Yan had stood up straight again. He looked into the tall man's eyes and said nothing nonsense.
"I am Li Yan, a monk from the Demon Sect in the Desolate Moon Continent and Gong Chenying's younger brother at Xiaozhu Peak. Have you ever heard of Clan Chief Gong?"
Li Yan looked at the man opposite him calmly. Although the man in front of him was so thin that he lost his appearance, when Gong Chenying came, he still carved the portraits of Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder on the jade slips for Li Yan to Take a look.
To prevent Li Yan from encountering any extreme danger in the swamp, he would put her in the spirit storage bag. Once he met his father and father again, it would be bad to take action due to misunderstanding.
"Li...Yan, Aying's...that junior brother?"
The tall man whom Li Yan recognized as Gong Shanhe was still thinking and analyzing everything that happened in front of him. He thought countless times that human monks might appear here.
But that person should be a member of the Tianli tribe, but today a strange monk came.
After he saw at a glance that the other party was a human monk, he also wondered whether the other party was the same as him. He might have noticed something strange in the swamp and entered the underground, or entered here by mistake.
But Li Yan's words immediately made him widen his eyes.
Even if he is such a calm person, even if he has been trapped here for a long time, even if he suddenly saw that the person coming was a human monk, he was just surprised and confused before.
But now Li Yan's words, all the previous information combined, are not as shocking as the meaning contained in the words.
Although the name Li Yan was unfamiliar, he had heard of it. When he went to pick up his daughter, Wei Zhongran had told him that his daughter Zhao Min and his young disciple Li Yan fell into the crack of Yin Mo Cliff during the decisive battle between the demons. I don’t know…
With the monk's memory, and the fact that Li Yan added a series of specific titles after introducing his name, Gong Shanhe instantly thought of who the other party was, Wei Zhongran's young disciple.
"But...but...when he fell off the cliff, wasn't he just a little foundation builder?"
Although Gong Shanhe was shocked, he was the leader of the clan and he quickly reacted. However, he did not speak immediately, but quickly thought about what Li Yan had just said in his heart.
Seeing that the other party fell into silence for a while, Li Yan waved his hand casually, and a token appeared in front of him. He raised his palm and pushed forward gently, and the token floated quietly outside the restriction of the formation.
"This is my sect token!"
The moment Gong Shanhe saw the token, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Of course he recognized the Demon Sect's token, especially when the opponent took out the Xiaozhufeng token that was exactly the same as his daughter's.
He didn't need to take it over at all, but after carefully scanning it with his spiritual consciousness, he confirmed that the other party's token was the real Demon Sect token and could not be fake.
The shock in Gong Shanhe's eyes quickly disappeared, and he quickly continued to judge in his mind, but he still did not immediately remove the formation restriction.
"Didn't you get killed in the battle with the demons?
The last time I went there, Master Cen told me about this, why did you suddenly come here today? "
Gong Shanhe asked with a puzzled look on his face, while Li Yan smiled softly upon hearing this.
"Master Wei Zhongran, Senior Sister Min and I just fell into the crack of Yin Mo Cliff and were trapped somewhere. It wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that we escaped.
I came here this time because I was entrusted by Senior Sister Gong and at the request of the First Elder and the Third Elder. I came here to try to find out the whereabouts of you and the Sixth Elder.
Nowadays, in the outside world, the three tribes of wind beasts are still at war with your tribe, and it won’t be too late to elaborate on the details later when I have time! "
Li Yan briefly explained his purpose, and at the same time, seemingly unintentionally, he "corrected" some of the other party's "mistakes."
Of course he would not think that Gong Shanhe had remembered it wrong, or that the person in front of him was transformed by a wind beast and was talking nonsense here.
.
If Li Yan himself was a fake and he was only slightly familiar with the Demon Sect, then he might have fallen into at least one of the traps.
Without Li Yan, with Li Yan's current level of cultivation, his master should be someone of the same level as Da Cen and Mo Qing.
This time, Li Yan did not call him "Sixth Senior Sister", but "Senior Sister Gong!" because he wanted to explain the situation as quickly as possible.
While speaking, Li Yan raised his hand to call back the sect token and put it away.
After listening to Li Yan's words, Gong Shanhe's eyes flashed again, but his expression also relaxed slightly.
Not only did Li Yan "see through" his "lie" just now, he also deliberately named the first elder and the third elder, but did not mention the other elders in the clan at all.
This also illustrates the situation from another aspect, that is, the other party also knows the distribution of forces within the Tianli clan, and Li Yan may have come from the Tianli clan.
After a few breaths, Gong Shanhe waved his hand, and the space in front of him was slightly distorted, and then everything returned to normal.
He cupped his fist at Li Yan and then bowed.
"The wind beasts here are also good at transforming, so I have to be careful. I hope Fellow Daoist Li won't be offended!"
Li Yan saw that Gong Shanhe was a seemingly rough man, but he was a very delicate person, and he was also very decisive in doing things. Gong Chenying's personality was very similar to him.
Just seeing Gong Shanhe salute him like this, he couldn't help but touch his nose.
This is my father-in-law. Once I explain the situation, I don’t know how the other party thinks about the current situation.
