Pei Tianhao shouted to the woman at another bonfire: "Lingling, why don't you come over quickly to thank your benefactor!"
Pei Lingling quickly stood up, came to Yuan Yao's side, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, senior, for the rescue!"
senior?
This title surprised Pei Zhengnan and Pei Tianhao, father and son.
But then he thought about being able to walk through the overwhelming ice demon cicada and kill it with just a raise of his hand.
With such strength, he is certainly not young, so there is nothing wrong with calling him a senior.
"It's a little effort, no need to be polite."
Yuan Yao made a superior gesture and raised her eyes to look at Pei Lingling. She had always been quite satisfied with the title "Senior" and motioned for her to sit down.
"My benefactor is the protector of Leiyin Valley?" Pei Zhengnan looked at Li Yuan and asked.
I originally wanted to ask if he was an elder from Leiyin Valley, but the other person was too young after all, so he asked if he was a protector.
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "No... Why does Patriarch Pei ask that?"
"I see that you are equipped with thunder elemental power, and you can perform it superbly.
"I learned before that the Protector of Leiyin Valley appeared in Qianxue City, so I asked this question.
"I was rude, don't blame my benefactor." Pei Zhengnan explained.
"There is no need to call her benefactor. My name is Li Yuan, just call her by her first name. Her name is Li Yuanyao, just Yuan Yao." Li Yuan said and pointed at Yuan Yao.
The Pei family father and son nodded.
Li Yuan did not dwell too much on the issue of rescuing them, and immediately changed the subject: "Clan Chief Pei is very familiar with Qianjue Chan Ridge, and he should be well-informed about the surrounding news."
"That's right. I have lived in this area since I was a child." Pei Zhengnan replied.
Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is a precious medicine in Qianxue Chanling Ridge. Is it true?"
"Also, what happened at the Qianxue City Auction Conference? Who did those things belong to in the end?" Yuan Yao said sideways.
Pei Zhengnan nodded and first talked about the situation in Qianxue City.
The head of the Siko family, Siko Aoye, has not appeared in the public eye for several years.
There are rumors from all sides that Qianxue City's forces are gathering during this auction conference, and the Snow Alliance wants to take away part of the Siko family's share in Qianxue Auction House.
For this operation, the Snow League deployed 30% more force than before.
Helpless, with Yan Teng enshrined by the Sikou family, Meng Lengchan, the leader of the Snow League, did not make any move until the auction started.
In addition to trying to seize the Siko family Qianxue auction house's share, there are also temporary emergencies.
A few months ago, a thief sneaked into the Snow Alliance's treasure house and stole a large amount of precious materials, but there has been no news.
Just the day before the auction meeting, the thief entered Qianxue City and settled in Qianxue Garden to participate in the auction meeting.
After Elder Du of the Snow Alliance confirmed his identity, he sent some additional forces from the Snow Alliance, and deployed a total of 60 to 70% of the alliance's forces around the Qianxue Auction House.
The sudden wave of ice monsters, cicadas and beasts came directly to Qianxue Auction House, but the thief was not caught.
All forces joined forces to fight against the beast tide, and although they eventually killed all the ice evil cicadas that entered Qianxue City, they also suffered heavy losses.
The biggest loss was undoubtedly the Snow League, which deployed the most force, while other Qianxue City forces suffered relatively smaller losses.
To everyone's surprise, the two largest forces in Qian Xuecheng, the Sikou family and Qian Xueyuan, did not suffer much losses.
The forces that came from all over the mainland to participate in the auction conference this time were all strong men who were in the middle stage of Nirvana or above.
Except for a few Yuan people who were injured, no Yuan people died.
The beast wave is over and the auction items are being liquidated. No changes have occurred. Whoever takes the photo belongs to whom.
Pei Zhengnan had been hanging out in this area since he was a child. In just a few days, he collected and sorted out the information from many sources and pieced together the whole story.
There is another thing that he is not sure about. He heard that the beast tide was caused by man-made things.
Some forces on the mainland could not tolerate the chaos in Qianxue City, so many lost treasures appeared in the city, causing this beast wave.
The ability to influence the Ice Demon Cicada is very rare.
The Ice Demon Cicada is one of the few monsters that is not affected by bloodline.
Although all the ice evil cicadas that invaded the city were killed, they were allowed to expand their territory a lot.
Within a thousand miles to the east of Qianxue City, the number of demonic cicadas has tripled, making it even more dangerous to enter Qianxue City in the future.
The powerful people from all parties who participated in the auction conference did not leave, and all entered Cicada Ridge directly from Qianxue City.
These powerful people came to Qianxue City for two purposes. One was to participate in the auction, and the other was to hear that the Cicada Ridge treasure medicine had appeared. Most of them were attracted by the medicine.
At present, powerful people from all sides have entered Qianxuechan Ridge.
Precious medicines usually appear in the world, not just one kind, but dozens, or even hundreds.
The appearance of these precious medicines together in the depths of Qianjue Cicada Ridge will make the Ice Evil Demonic Cicada's evil spirit converge and become more peaceful.
As a result, the team that usually lives outside Qianjue Cicada Ridge will take this opportunity to go deep into the depths to find the treasure.
Most of the foreign Yuan people come here for the ruins of the battlefield, looking for the countless treasures left behind by the fallen strong men, hoping to find some powerful Yuan treasures, techniques, Yuan arts, materials and other treasures.
Li Yuan came to Qianjue Cicada Ridge to find out why the Ice Fiend Demonic Cicada was afraid of him, but unexpectedly he got something unexpected.
Yuan Yao's eyes burst into flames and her heart surged.
All the treasures at the auction have come to Qianjue Cicada Ridge, and there must be the Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ribbon in the hands of Baiwufang in Baijue City.
"Clan Chief Pei, you are well-informed. I wonder if you know what the ingredients of the treasure everyone talks about are?" Li Yuan asked.
"I'm not sure. Judging from the reaction of the Ice Demon Cicada, I can basically confirm that there are a lot of precious medicines.
"I heard that some powerful sects on the mainland have special methods. Once the treasure appears in certain places, they will know about it.
“In the past few months, there have been reports from powerful sects on the mainland that there is a precious medicine called Jinhun Di Luo Lian, which has reached the sixth special level.
“I have lived here since I was a child, and this is the first time I have heard of such high-end materials appearing in Qianjue Chan Ridge.
“This item is of little use to ordinary Yuan practitioners, but it is of great use to special professions such as alchemists, alchemists, and formation masters.
“Keeping this thing by your side for a long time can nourish your soul and greatly enhance your soul’s power.
"At the same time, there is an opportunity to elevate the soul state to a state beyond the fixed soul state of Yuan Zhe's cultivation level itself."
Having said this, Pei Zhengnan paused, his eyes seemed to be filled with mist, sighed, and continued: "This kind of natural and earthly treasure is rare in the entire continent.
“If it weren’t for the existence of the Ice Fiend Demonic Cicada in Qianjue Cicada Ridge, I’m afraid all the powerful Yuanshen Realm experts in the mainland would go out to snatch it.
“Level 6 special material, a treasure medicine of this level, was also auctioned at Qianxue Auction House hundreds of years ago, and it finally sold for a sky-high price of 830,000 Xuanyuan Stones.
“That’s just a precious medicine, not a refined elixir, nor a gold ingot.
"If I, Pei, can get it, I will surely become a first-rate force in the Qianjue Chan Ridge area.
“It was precisely this idea that gave rise to the idea of going deep into Cicada Ridge.
“We haven’t gone very far yet, and we have already lost nearly 20% of our clan members.
“If my benefactor hadn’t taken action, I’m afraid no one would have survived.
"The final fate of the old, weak, sick and disabled who stayed in the Pei family in Qianxue City..."
The cave fell into silence, immersed in a sad atmosphere.
"Looking for treasures requires no special means. It's like finding a needle in a haystack." After a long silence, Li Yuancai said.
Pei Zhengnan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said solemnly: "What we, Pei, do is look for materials and hunt monsters. We still have experience in these methods."
"Facing such a vast Qianjue Cicada Mountains, it is still a bit difficult to use ordinary methods and experience. Why not go to those battlefield ruins?" Li Yuan suggested.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Pei Zhengnan sighed: "You don't know something. There are many battlefield relics in Qianjue Chanling, but no matter where they are, they are all battlegrounds for the strong.
“With the strength in the late stage of Nirvana, even if you get some treasures, you won’t be able to take them away.
“The Pei family is not qualified to participate at all.
“Those battlefield ruins have more powerful people entering.
“Looking back now, we still underestimated the risks deep in Qianjue Chan Ridge.
Yuan Yao suddenly asked: "Are you going to go deeper, or turn back?"
Hearing this, Pei Zhengnan glanced at the clan members and whispered: "Treasures of heaven and earth... not a team like ours can get their hands on it.
“Rest here for one night and go back tomorrow.
“After being away for a year, it’s time to go back and take a look.
“Qianxue City has experienced such chaos, and I don’t know whether it’s good or bad.”
Li Yuandao: "Clan Chief Pei, Qianxue City is in such chaos, haven't you considered moving out of Qianxue City?
"For example, Wangchan City or Bai Jue City in the south?"
Pei Tianhao looked at Pei Zhengnan and said, "Dad, I think my benefactor's proposal is good.
“Didn’t we prepare to leave Qianxue City a few years ago?
"Before, I was afraid that the tribe would disagree, but now everyone has no objections."
Pei Zhengnan was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Let's go back and take a look at the situation in Qianxue City first.
“Forget it Bai Juecheng, it’s not much better than Qian Xuecheng.
"Wangchan City can be considered, and we can also take over the Duanmu family's tasks."
Hearing what Pei Zhengnan said, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Bai Juecheng?"
Pei Zhengnan thought for a while and said: "The two strongest forces in Baijue City, Jiagu Family and Baiwufang, are not good enemies.
“There are four great cicada kings in the three huge cities of Qianjue Cicada Ridge, all of whom are powerful and perfect Nirvana.
"Siko Aoye from the Siko family in Qianxue City, Noble Lord Jiagu from the Jiagu family in Baijue City, Qiu Yuyan, the master of Baiwufang in Baijue City, Duanmu Jingbai from the Duanmu family in Wangchan City.
"Of the four Cicada Kings, only Sikou, Jiagu and Duanmen are the first-class forces in this area. This is because each of the three families worships a peak-level fourth-level Yuan Bone monster.
“In recent years, only the Sikou family’s offerings have appeared in everyone’s sight, so the Sikou family is obviously the strongest.
"The Jiagu family in Bai Juecheng seems to be stronger than Baiwufang, and the latter is not as famous as the Jiagu family. The main reason is that they are low-key.
“In addition, Baiwufang has a very good relationship with the Sikou family.
"The Jiagu family has a sense of crisis and is preparing to marry Duanmu and Sikou.
"The Sikou family also plays their cards well and has a close relationship with Baijue City's Baiwufang. At the same time, they do not completely reject the Jiagu family's marriage proposal."
These major forces have information about Nirvana Consummation and the fourth-level peak monster beast. Li Yuan heard it from Yuan Yao.
Now I know it from Pei Zhengnan, which also confirms the authenticity of the news.
Back then, Meng Yi, Zhu Jingxuan, and a gray beast teamed up to repel Diao Zhiyuan.
The strong people who grew up in a place like Qianjue Chanling were only stronger than Diao Zhiyuan.
But Li Yuan is no longer the small Yuan Dan realm he was back then, and is now qualified to successfully fight Nirvana.
If he faced Diao Zhiyuan now, it would not be impossible to repel him or even kill him.
I chatted with the Pei family for a long time and inquired about the forces in the Qianjue Chan Ridge area.
Of course, Yuan Yao is naturally concerned about where those treasures are.
According to calculations, it took almost a year for the precious medicine to appear.
The environment deep in Qianjue Chan Ridge is relatively stable, and only strong people from all sides dare to enter in large numbers.
However, according to Pei Zhengnan, the precious medicine usually disappears after appearing for about five years at most.
In other words, you can only stay in the depths of Cicada Ridge for two to three years, leaving some time to return to avoid accidents.
There is also a situation where, among the treasures in the world, if the highest-grade treasure is taken away, the other treasures will be affected and disappear one after another, and the time they can stay in Cicada Ridge will be shorter.
The Jinhun Land Luo Lian is the highest level treasure medicine. It appears deep in the Cicada Ridge. Not only the forces in this area will fight for it, but other forces on the mainland will also not be absent.
At this time, Li Yuan was also determined to win it.
Without the emergence of a powerful person in the Yuan Shen realm, whether it is the fight for Luo Lian of Jinhun Land or the battle for battlefield ruins, it can be regarded as a competition of strong people on the mainland.
………
The next day.
At dawn, Pei's team set off from the cave.
After yesterday's battle, they completely gave up their plan to go to the depths of Thousand Jue Chan Ridge and returned the same way.
The further you go, not only will the level of the monsters be higher, but most importantly, the number of ice evil cicadas will increase.
If they encounter hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of ice demon cicadas, even if they are only level two, a team led by the Yuanshen realm will not dare to provoke them.
Once entangled, there is only one end, and that is death.
The information Pei Zhengnan gave to Li Yuan last night was very useful to them.
But some details need further confirmation, and Mr. Pei only heard them from elsewhere.
The situation in Qian Jue Chan Ridge gradually became clear. In order to thank the Pei clan members, Li Yuan and Li Yuan acted as bodyguards when they returned.
With Pei's ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back.
Sure enough, after walking for a few days, the team was attacked by several small waves of beasts.
Li Yuan speculated that the reason why the Ice Demon Cicada was rioting so frequently was because more and more powerful people were entering Cicada Ridge.
Moreover, the strength of these Yuans are not low, and their number is also large.
Arriving at the outskirts of Qianjue Chan Ridge, the situation of the beast tide had improved, and the Pei clan could almost handle it. Li Yuan was ready to take Yuan Yao to the depths of Chan Ridge.
When saying goodbye, Pei Zhengnan gave Li Yuan a scroll, which recorded information about the powerful people in Qianjue Chan Ridge.
It contains information on the four great Cicada Kings and the Thirty-Six Jue of Cicada Ridge, as well as information on other surrounding forces and a few Yuan practitioners in the middle stage of Nirvana and above.
Not only that, there is also information about monsters on the scroll. The strongest one is naturally the Red Flame King Snake Yanteng worshiped by the Sikou family.
According to Pei Zhengnan, half of the Yuan beings on the scroll should go to the depths of Cicada Ridge.
He obtained the scroll a few years ago through many connections and spent a lot of yuan stones.
There is nothing wrong with the information, but some Yuan practitioners with lower cultivation levels may have made breakthroughs and changes in recent years.
But the top experts in this area should not change much. After all, the stronger they are, the longer it takes to break through.
Li Yuangang put away the scroll, frowned slightly, and quickly took Yuan Yao away.
"Xiao Yuan, why are we leaving in such a hurry?" Yuan Yao was puzzled.
"Find a place to hide. If necessary, prepare for a sneak attack." The corner of Li Yuan's mouth curled up with a cold arc.
Hearing this, Yuan Yao scratched his head, as if falling into clouds.
………
After Li Yuan left, Pei's team embarked on the return journey.
A few miles ahead, a large snow forest appeared.
Everyone in the Pei clan had a look of surprise on their faces.
The snow forest can be used as a bunker to avoid the ice clouds floating in the sky. Flying in the snow forest will make the speed much faster.
The team sped up and soon approached the snow forest for less than a mile.
Suddenly, Pei Zhengnan raised his hand to stop the team.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Pei Lingling asked.
"Lingling, follow me closely."
After saying that, Pei Zhengnan had a solemn expression and looked at each other with several Nirvana members in his clan. They nodded to each other. They were all secretly using their energy, and their eyes kept scanning the snow forest in front of them.
"Haha! I didn't expect you to be quite cautious."
A cold laughter came from the forest.
Then, more than thirty yuan masters dressed in white emerged. The aura on their bodies was so strong that it made Pei Zhengnan tremble. The ones with the lowest cultivation level were almost the same as him.
