A few days later.
Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng had already left the sphere of influence of the Beitian Star Territory. Since they wanted to avoid the Ye family's conspiracy, Yu Wenyan chose to go further north, because they originally went to Dan from the Yaowang Palace in the far north. domain.
It's just that the further north the two of them go, the colder the weather becomes. Although with their cultivation, there is no problem in resisting the cold wind.
However, places that are too cold are often inaccessible, so they often have to spend their nights in the wild or in caves, which is indeed a bit hard for them.
However, when they first went to the Dan Realm, it was more difficult than now. They still reached the Dan Realm smoothly, so there was no problem this time.
In a sheltered mountain valley at night, Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng sat beside a bonfire, roasting a rabbit they caught along the way. After a while, they would have meat to eat.
However, at this moment, Yu Wenyan suddenly became alert, because two people were slowly walking towards this side in the darkness a hundred feet away.
Xuan Meng noticed Yu Wenyan's abnormality, and then she realized that there might be danger approaching in the distance. But when she was about to speak, Yu Wenyan grabbed her little hand and spoke to her via voice transmission from his soul.
"Two people over there discovered that we were preparing to come over. One of them has a much stronger cultivation level than us, but he is not hostile to us so far. He will act according to the opportunity."
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Meng immediately nodded and responded softly.
After a while, two people came to the mountain col. They could see each other clearly by the light of the fire.
After Yu Wenyan saw these two people, he first focused on the white-haired old man among them, because just when he noticed someone approaching, the old man's soul power perception also stopped. come behind.
In order to hide his whereabouts, Yu Wenyan did not let the old man sense his cultivation. Therefore, when they came to the fire and found himself and Xuan Meng, the white-haired old man focused on Xuan Meng. On the dream body.
After a while, the white-haired old man was the first to speak with a smile.
"We were passing by here and were attracted by the smell of the rabbit meat that you two were grilling, so we came to take a look. In this wilderness of the far north, it was fate that we could meet. I wonder if we can borrow some light to take a rest here. "
Yu Wenyan saw that the white-haired old man had a humble attitude and a kind tone, and did not seem to have any ill will towards them, so he said respectfully.
"Senior, you're welcome. We have just arrived here. Since we are all passers-by, why not take a break from the cold wind together."
Yu Wenyan immediately raised his hand to signal them to help themselves. After the two of them sat across from the bonfire, Yu Wenyan slowly sat down, while Xuan Meng stood close to him.
At this time, Yu Wenyan could clearly see the man next to the white-haired old man. He seemed to be almost the same age as the white-haired old man. However, because his cultivation level was only at the first level of a star, he did not look as energetic as the white-haired old man.
However, both of them intentionally or unintentionally turned their attention to Xuan Meng at this time. Although they did not speak, Yu Wenyan guessed their thoughts.
So, he smiled and said to the two of them.
"This is my wife Xiao Meng, and I'm Yu Wenyan."
Then Xuan Meng also nodded slightly to them and said.
"I've met two seniors."
The white-haired old man laughed when he heard this.
"You two are welcome, I am Gu Hongshan. This is my friend Ye Ping. We are from the Beitian Star Territory. I wonder where you are from?"
Originally, Gu Hongshan's smiling face and kind-hearted appearance had gradually made Yu Wenyan lower his guard. However, when he heard that the other old man turned out to be the queen's brother Ye Ping, he began to become nervous again.
It's just that he found that Ye Ping didn't seem to have changed much after hearing his name. He probably didn't know what happened in the North Sky Star Territory.
Therefore, Yu Wenyan said calmly.
"We are refugees from Eastern Xinjiang. We went to the Royal City to sell some things, and we are on our way back now."
"Oh, that's it. You are indeed from Dongjiang. It seems that my guess is correct."
After Gu Hongshan heard Yu Wenyan's words, he suddenly smiled with joy, while Ye Ping's expression on the side was a little strange, but in order to cater to Gu Hongshan, he still agreed calmly.
"We have been searching together for so long, and now we finally have some clues."
Yu Wenyan didn't understand what they meant, so he asked in confusion.
"I wonder what you two seniors are looking for?"
Gu Hongshan replied with a smile at this time.
"It's like this. I heard that there used to be a mysterious clan in the eastern border of the Beitian Star Territory, called the Xuanyue clan. They have been continuing a strange way of cultivation. But later, I don't know why. The Xuanyue clan was in ten They moved from Eastern Xinjiang years ago.
And I just want to visit the ruins of the Xuanyue clan. If I can get any clues, I might be able to find out where the Xuanyue clan migrated. "
Hearing Gu Hongshan's words, Yu Wenyan immediately understood their intentions. It seemed that Gu Hongshan also wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Xuanyue clan.
So, Yu Wenyan deliberately pretended to be ignorant and said.
"When I was a kid, I heard someone say that there was a group of cultivators living not far from our hometown. But then, for some unknown reason, they all disappeared. And since then, the people in the village have not allowed us kids to go there again. place."
"Really? So you know where they used to live?"
Gu Hongshan asked even more happily at this time, because he finally found someone who knew where the Xuanyue clan ruins were, so that he could let Yu Wenyan lead the way.
However, the reason why Yu Wenyan said this just now was because he was just testing Ye Ping's reaction.
It stands to reason that if he and Gu Hongshan were good friends, then why not take him directly to the Xuanyue clan ruins? You must know that he, Ye Ping, was also involved in the destruction of the entire Xuanyue clan.
Therefore, Yu Wenyan now understood that Ye Ping seemed to be hiding something from Gu Hongshan, and he also deceived Gu Hongshan into saying that the Xuanyue clan had moved away.
It seemed that the two of them were not the same person. Thinking of this, Yu Wenyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, because in this way, at least Gu Hongshan had nothing to do with the Ye family's murder of the entire Xuanyue clan.
Of course, Yu Wenyan didn't want the Ye family to have a strong practitioner like Gu Hongshan. After all, he would have to fight to the death with Ye Qing sooner or later.
Immediately, Yu Wenyan nodded slowly.
"I do know, but since I haven't been there for many years, I'm not sure if I can still find it."
Hearing Yu Wenyan say this, Ye Ping immediately smiled and said.
"It's no wonder, you look like you are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the Xuanyue clan left more than ten years ago. You were just a child at that time. Now you can't remember clearly. normal."
Immediately, he turned to Gu Hongshan and said.
"Why don't we continue to search further north? I remember that it is probably in this area."
However, Gu Hongshan shook his head and said after hearing this.
"We have been searching for so long, but there is still no trace. Now this little friend may know that place, so why should we continue to search blindly."
After speaking, Gu Hongshan turned his eyes to Yuwenyan and said with a smile.
"I wonder if my little friend is willing to lead me to try our best to find the ruins of the Xuanyue clan. If we can find it, I promise to give you a generous fortune as a reward."
When Yu Wenyan heard what Gu Hongshan said, he knew that he was determined to find the ruins of the Xuanyue clan. Even if he didn't agree, they would probably go to Dongjiang to ask other people, and they would still find it then.
Although Yu Wenyan is still not sure what Gu Hongshan is going to do at the Xuanyue clan site, he doesn't want anyone to go there again, because the people buried there are all Xuan Meng's clan members.
So, Yu Wenyan asked tentatively again.
"I wonder what senior is going there for? More than ten years have passed and the place has long been deserted. I think even if we find it, senior's trip will be in vain."
Gu Hongshan sighed after hearing this.
"Haha, little friends may not know that I am actually a cultivator, but in this cultivation journey, I don't think I have extraordinary talents or qualifications.
Therefore, if you want to further improve your cultivation, you can only explore the relics of some ancient clans and hope to gain some opportunities from them. "
"Oh I got it."
Yu Wenyan's guess was indeed correct. This Gu Hongshan also wanted to get the inheritance of the Xuanyue clan, but with his character, if the Xuanyue clan still existed, maybe he would only ask for advice humbly instead of taking it by force.
However, at this time, Xuan Meng, who had been silent all this time, said in a cold tone.
"Seniors have now reached the fifth level of star cultivation. Even the patriarch of the Xuanyue clan back then was not as powerful as you are now. So what is there in their inheritance that is worthy of seniors to find?"
After hearing Xuan Meng's words, Gu Hongshan and Ye Ping both looked shocked, because they had been very curious about Xuan Meng since they met her just now.
This woman looks to be about the same size as Yu Wenyan, and she must be only sixteen or seventeen years old. But how did she get to the peak of Yuanhun Realm?
Moreover, she was able to discover that her cultivation realm was not even perceived through soul power, which was so weird.
It wasn't until this moment that Gu Hongshan finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked Yu Wenyan.
"Your wife is not only a genius in cultivation, she also seems to possess some kind of special perception ability. Are you really just ordinary people in the Eastern Border of the Northern Star Territory?"
Facing Gu Hongshan's inquiry, Yu Wenyan knew that Xuanmeng said that because he couldn't bear the injustice of his tribe to be disturbed again. However, in this way, their previous pretense of being ordinary refugees was a bit awkward. It's possible.
So, Yu Wenyan said with a smile.
"Actually, we are avoiding the pursuit of our enemies, so we have to hide our identities. However, we are indeed the people of the Beitian Star Territory. But now we have to rush to the Dan Territory as soon as possible, so we help our seniors to find the ruins of the Xuanyue Clan. I'm afraid..."
However, before Yu Wenyan could finish speaking, Gu Hongshan raised his hand to interrupt him and said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then you don't have to worry at all. Since I want to ask my friends to help me lead the way, then I should naturally protect your safety. I think in this Northern Star Territory, I'm afraid no one can hurt me in front of me. you."
Speaking of this, Gu Hongshan naturally knew that he had to take Ye Ping's feelings into consideration, so he turned to look at Ye Ping beside him and smiled.
"Brother Ye, do you think so?"
"Haha, of course."
