In the valley, the second elder of Tonglin Palace, Ren Tianye and others were carefully checking the surrounding traces.
"Second Elder, the ground here is full of potholes and there are many signs of being burnt black. It seems that someone is here to survive the calamity." Ren Tianye said after picking up a handful of charred soil.
"Well, it is true that someone was here to overcome the tribulation. They cleaned up the traces afterwards. For the time being, we can't find out which sect is going through the tribulation again." After careful inspection, the second elder said helplessly.
Today's situation is much more complicated than before. Since the auction a few days ago, those forces that have obtained the essence of Lingshu have begun to save people one after another. In addition to this place, there are two other places.
Originally, among the nearby counties, their Tonglin Palace and Jueshi Palace were the most respected, and their scope of influence and influence far exceeded other major sects. But now, those who can survive the catastrophe and enter the soul realm, the forces behind them are also Now that they have the capital to compete with their Tonglin Palace, and the second elder heard from the elder about the suspected alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Hunyuan Palace, this made their Tonglin Palace feel great pressure. Their power has been seriously challenged, which is not what they want to see. Therefore, they want to grasp the situation and understand it clearly for every person who has overcome the tribulation and the forces behind them, and then make corresponding preparations and Adjustment.
"Second brother, do you think the person who overcame the tribulation has succeeded?" After checking, the third elder did not get any useful information.
"It's hard to say, except for the traces of the tribulation, all other useful evidence and information have been processed. The only thing that can be determined now is that the person who has overcome the tribulation and the forces behind him must have been there long before this auction. They were well prepared, and they had set foot on this valley in advance. Once they obtained the Essence of Lingshu, they would immediately arrange this inaccessible valley, waiting for the arrival of the people who had overcome the tribulation. Afterwards, they would completely eliminate the traces and prevent any traces from being left. People need to find out who is going through the tribulation." The second elder of Tonglin Palace analyzed with a gloomy face.
"Second Elder, I heard what you said. The man who overcame the tribulation and the forces behind him are quite forbearing and have a deep foundation. Ordinary forces will certainly not be able to do this." Ren Tianye nodded thoughtfully.
"That's for sure, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to capture the essence of Lingshu." At this time, the third elder on the side also said.
"In this auction, our Tonglin Palace and Jueshi Palace respectively obtained one of the five pieces of spiritual saliva essence. One of the remaining three copies is suspected to have been obtained by the Ghost Fire Sect." The second elder of Tonglin Palace continued, At the same time, his face became gloomier.
"What? The Ghost Fire Sect also won a share? Then why did they ambush the Jueshi Palace?" Ren Tianye couldn't believe what the second elder said. When the Ghost Fire Sect ambush the Jueshi Palace's convoy, he also went there. He witnessed the whole process. At that time, he was still silently hoping that Wu Chenxuan would not get into trouble in that ambush. Now he heard the second elder said that the Ghost Fire Sect also won a bid, which subverted his original understanding.
"I was also surprised when I received this news, but the Great Elder confirmed it. The Ghost Fire Sect's ambush of the Jueshi Palace was just a cover-up. Secretly, they secretly sent people to send the essence of Lingshu back to the Ghost Fire Sect." The second elder explained. .
"What a ghost fire sect, he actually deceived everyone!" The third elder also secretly said, but then he reacted: "So, the disaster here is definitely not caused by the ghost fire sect."
"Yes." The second elder nodded, "No matter who is going through the tribulation here, the news will definitely get out within half a year, and the other party will definitely come out in the open."
"Then Second Elder, what are you still worried about?" Ren Tianye asked.
"The only thing I'm worried about is whether the person who overcame the tribulation and the forces behind him are hostile to our Tonglin Palace, and whether it will break the current balance of forces. After all, there are many sects that give us the scope of influence." At this point, the second elder couldn't help but show a worried expression.
At this time, Ren Tianye said with relief: "Second Elder, don't worry. Now that the teacher has successfully passed through the catastrophe and entered the soul realm, we, Tonglin Palace, have two soul realm experts. Even if someone really wants to do harm to me, Tonglin Palace, Then they must have this ability!”
"Second brother, Amano is right. Among the surrounding counties, our Tonglin Palace and Jueshi Palace are still the most respected. It is not easy for others to replace them, so we should relax." The third elder also said.
"You are right. As soon as the news comes out that the palace master has successfully survived the catastrophe, the forces that are hostile to us should be silenced again." The words of the two had an effect, and the second elder restored his previous behavior. Domineering expression.
…
Duchuan County, Duchuan Linhai.
This is a green bamboo sea, always green all year round, with fresh air. The base camp of Jueshi Palace is in the middle of this forest sea. Many years ago, this was the stronghold of an ancient sect, with a complete protective formation inside. After thousands of years of maintenance by the Peerless Palace, the protective formation is still in operation at all times, making it almost impossible for outsiders to attack. The Peerless Palace also relies on this formation to avoid attacks from enemies one after another and remains standing.
At this moment, in the main hall, a peerless palace disciple was reporting on the current situation.
After listening to the report, the blond old man retired from the disciple who reported the report, and then sat on the elders' table nearby.
"The Supreme Elder, the Ghost Fire Sect is really bullying others. They dared to ambush us even though they have won the Essence of Spirit Saliva. They don't take us seriously at all!" The Great Elder of Jueshi Palace stood respectfully beside the blond old man. Beside, said angrily.
"Whatever they do, they just want to cover up others' eyes and secretly transport things back to the sect. But they are indeed too arrogant. We should find an opportunity to teach them a lesson." After taking a sip of tea, the blond old man said calmly.
"Then what opportunity can we find to teach them a lesson?" the elder of Jueshi Palace asked quickly. In Tonglin City, the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect led his men to ambush their convoy. He still remembered this bad breath and always wanted revenge. Now that he heard that the Supreme Elder also had this idea, he was naturally more interested.
"It won't be possible in the near future, but there will be a chance in half a year." The blond old man showed a smile.
"Half a year later?...You mean the Secret Realm of Lost Dreams?" The elder of Jueshi Palace thought of something.
"Well, if we take action in the Secret Realm of Lost Dreams, the Ghost Fire Sect won't be able to intervene even if they want to, what do you think?" The blond old man turned around and smiled slightly.
"Yes, when the time comes, let Xuan'er find an opportunity to kill the young master of the Ghost Fire Sect in the secret realm. The other party will definitely not be able to find it. Let the dumb master of the Ghost Fire Sect eat yellow lotus and have nowhere to vent." The elder of Peerless Palace's eyes lit up.
"Okay, this is the next best thing. The most important thing now is the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and Hunyuan Palace. Whether it's true or not, we have to stop it!" The blond old man's face instantly darkened, and the teacup in his hand was shattered by the force of his fingers. Became scum.
"I really don't understand. Hunyuan Palace is doing well in Yongyan Mansion. Why does it come to us? Does it still want to dominate here?" Speaking of this, the elder of Peerless Palace also looked puzzled. There is also a hint of worry.
"Hunyuan Palace has always been domineering. Now they and the other two factions are competing for the top power in Yongyan Mansion. Continuing to expand their own power can just build momentum for them."
Jueshi Palace is one of the top sects in the nearby counties, and its intelligence collection capabilities are also very strong. Not only the nearby counties, but also the central Yongyan Mansion has many spies, and most of the sects there are well aware of the situation.
"This is not a good thing for us. Elder, we need to take it seriously!" The great elder of Jueshi Palace also knew the seriousness of this matter and said immediately.
"Now the palace master is in seclusion to recover from the injuries caused by the calamity. I will handle this matter with full authority." The blond old man nodded and said, "Don't worry, we are not the only ones who are worried. I believe Tonglin Palace will send someone over soon."
"Tonglin Palace? Do they want to..." The great elder guessed something, but was immediately interrupted by the blond old man.
"Don't say it, wait until I forgive the other person's presence before making a decision." The blond old man stood up, then left the hall in one step and disappeared at the end of the passage.
The great elder of Jueshi Palace was thoughtful and then left the hall.
Lanming City, Shuntian Escort Agency.
"Great Elder, I really don't need it. You should take it. Besides, the essence of Ling Saliva cannot be stored for a long time, otherwise the effect will gradually disappear." In the film hall, Dong Hu said to the Great Elder, his words were sincere.
"Haha, Hu'er is very filial, so I can rest assured. We have asked Fengbaozhai to get us a storage bottle made of Tianxuan crystal for the remaining Lingshu Essence. It can effectively store some valuable items. , and will not cause any loss of items. It will not be a problem for the Lingshu Essence to be stored for decades, so you don’t have to worry." The elder of the Shuntian Escort Bureau touched Dong Hu’s head lovingly and said.
"Elder, what I mean is that I hope you take it and survive the catastrophe..." Dong Hu was a little anxious and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the second elder on the side.
"Xiao Huzi, the first elder made this decision after careful consideration. Not only us, but the helmsman also agreed, so don't say anything else." The second elder said solemnly.
"but……"
"Okay, we all know what you mean. I know my situation myself. Even if I take the essence of Lingshu, I can't survive the disaster. When facing the helmsman's disaster, I backed down at the last moment. , The will has fluctuated, and fear has arisen in my heart. If I can't overcome it, no matter how good the treasure is, it's useless!" The great elder sighed, and then continued: "The moment I retreated, I already knew that this life It is impossible for me to enter the soul realm, so we put our hope on you, so Xiao Huzi, you must not let us down, the future of Shuntian Escort Agency depends on you!"
Seeing the solemn look on the elder's face, Dong Hu could only nod, "I will try my best!"
"It's not about trying your best, but you must do it! Today's situation is no longer the same as before. Soul Realm powerhouses have begun to appear, and there are more than one. The strengths of all parties are being reshuffled, and there is also Yong Yan. If some big forces in the government are involved, there may be a situation that is unfavorable to our Shuntian Escort Bureau." The faces of the Great Elder and others were a little solemn.
"The power of Yongyan Mansion?" Dong Hu was a little confused, but he also had a premonition that something was wrong.
"Well, the Ghost Fire Sect seems to be forming an alliance with the Hunyuan Palace of Yongyan Mansion, and wants to challenge the dominance of Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace, and there is news that the Ghost Fire Sect also seems to have bid for a piece of the Essence of Spirit Saliva." Er The elder added from the side.
"What? Such a thing happened?" Dong Hu was shocked. In just a few days, so many major events happened in nearby counties, including Tianyou County and Longnan County, which was beyond his expectation.
"So you have to work harder. We hope you can get into the top three in the Secret Realm of Lost Dreams in half a year." The great elder said solemnly.
"Yeah!" Dong Hu nodded and made up his mind, not the top three, but the first.
…
In a private room of an inn in Blackwater City.
After watching Chang Lin's experience for a while, Shi Jiu walked to the window.
This trip to the ruins of Blackwater City can be said to be very perfect. I got unexpected treasures. The only shortcoming is that I didn't get to see the Blackwater Palace Palace Protection Formation - the Blackwater Formation. I couldn't get a glimpse of the big things from it. The mystery of formation.
"Forget it, people have to be content. I have gained a lot. Too much perfection may not be a good thing." Shi Jiu comforted himself.
"Where should we go next? There are still half a year to go to the Secret Land of Lost Dreams. Lanhai County can't go there for the time being... Well, let's go to Liashui County. I heard that there is a Shuimu Mountain Range there, which is rich in Shuimou Crystals. That thing is I don't have a material commonly used in formations. I can go there to collect some for future use." Shi Jiu thought about where to go and decided to go there tomorrow.
