A middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples walked to the front of Lingyunting’s team and responded: “It turns out to be Elder Jingsu from the Jiagu family in Bai Jue City, whose name I have heard for a long time.
“Everyone is just passing by, so don’t be nervous.
"I have some friendship with the master of Lingyan Pavilion of Lingyunting. Let's talk about old times together."
While the two were chatting politely, two figures dozens of miles away began to murmur.
"I feel that they are about the same strength as the leader of Frost Hall, Leng Hanfeng."
Yuan Yao kept an eye on the temporary camp of hundreds of people ahead.
"Three powerful people at the peak of the late Nirvana period." Li Yuan rubbed his chin, "That Jiagu Jingsu is the second elder of the Jiagu family and one of the thirty-six unique ones in Chanling.
"The person who spoke to Jiagu Jingsu, whose voice we heard at Qianxue Auction House, is Ren Peng, the protector of Jinling Mountain.
"He is the strongest here, stronger than Gong Wenxuan in Leiyin Valley.
"Ling Yan, the master of Lingyunting Pavilion, is also one of the thirty-six wonders of Chanling Mountain.
"Both sides still have a few peak Nirvana players, but their strength seems to be much weaker."
At this point, Li Yuan paused and continued: "It stands to reason that Ren Peng is strong and is the protector of Jin Lingshan. Even if he has some friendship, there is no need to be Ling Yan's pawn and look like he is trying to please his master."
Hearing this, Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Why do you think so much?
"Hehe... Ren Peng has the golden dragon marksmanship, doesn't he? Find an opportunity and rob him."
Li Yuan is not afraid of Ren Peng, not to mention that the opponent is from the Jinlingshan Wheel Blade lineage, but it is really not appropriate to take action here.
There are so many strong people, if they are not careful, they will make wedding clothes for other Yuan people.
………
Temporary camp.
Jiagu Jingsu said very politely to Ren Peng: "Dragon Protector Ren, I can speak directly if I have anything to say.
"We all have the same purpose. I think unnecessary conflicts should be avoided if possible before entering the depths of Thousand Jue Cicada Ridge. Don't you think so?"
Ren Peng nodded, also politely: "We have the same idea as Elder Jingsu."
At this moment, the deafening sound of a large number of snowy cloud lions running came from the side of the eastern mountain peak, heading straight for the temporary camp.
This is probably where everyone usually rests temporarily when entering the depths of Cicada Ridge, Li Yuan guessed.
Qianxue Pei may have never arrived here, otherwise, she would not fail to mention this place to him.
Hearing the noise in the distance, both sides of the camp retreated and stopped communicating, waiting for outside forces to enter the camp.
After a while, more than twenty snowy cloud lions arrived.
"Duanmu Jinghai? Is it the Duanmu family's team? Didn't they go a few days ahead of us, why are they still behind?"
Yuan Yao recognized at a glance the old man with white hair and beard who was leading the team, Duanmu Jinghai, the third elder of the Duanmu family.
Li Yuan looked in the direction of Igu and said softly: "Who do you think the man behind Duanmu Jinghai is?"
"Hey... it seems to be Duanmu Chengqing? I saw it at Qianxue Auction House." Yuan Yao said excitedly.
"Duanmu Jinghai and the Duanmu family's team must have gone to find Duanmu Chengqing, so they fell behind us. I didn't expect them to meet up." Li Yuandao.
Yuan Yao tilted his head, counted on his fingers, and calculated: "Jinling Mountain, Duanmu's house in Wangchan City, Lingyunting in Qianxue City, and Jiagu's house in Baijue City are all busy now.
"They must have a lot of treasures... Hehe... Duanmu Chengqing needs to take better care of him, hehe..."
"What?" Li Yuan frowned.
"The Biyun Fruit is in Duanmu Chengqing's possession, and the Duanmu family also has the Di Rong Fruit. Both of these things are in their house."
Speaking of this, Yuan Yao's eyes flashed and she tugged on Li Yuan's sleeves.
"I know. Di Rongguo is looking at Cicada City, but he is not in this team." Li Yuan sighed and said helplessly.
"Oh." Yuan Yao let go of Li Yuan's sleeves and looked at the Duanmu family team.
The Duanmu family team entered the camp, and the Xueyun Lion at the front swept down an old man, who was Duanmu Jinghai.
He walked forward for a while and shouted to Jiagu Jingsu from a distance: "Elder Jingsu, why are you still here?
"I heard that the Jiagu family set off a long time ago. According to the speed, we should have arrived at Cicada Cave by now."
"It turns out to be Elder Jinghai. We said goodbye to Cicada City, but I didn't expect to see each other again so soon." Jiagu Jingsu responded politely, "The road is blocked by heavy snow, and the demonic cicada covers the sky. We can only retreat to Cicada Valley."
Hearing this, Duanmu Jinghai frowned and asked, "Why don't you go to Jinchanpo? It's closer there."
"Take a look." Jiagu Jingsu stretched out her hand and looked around, "This place is full of human Yuans, which is more suitable for us.
“There are no monsters on Jinchanpo, so it’s not easy to set up camp.
"Besides, Yan Teng, who is worshiped by the Siko family, is there, so it would be inappropriate for us to go."
The Jiagu family's marriage to Sikou has been delayed because of Yan Teng's opposition.
There was some dissatisfaction between the two parties, resulting in no progress in the marriage with the Duanmu family.
With the tit-for-tat confrontation between the Duanmu family and the Sikou family, the Jiagu family certainly didn't plan well.
Li Yuan has been shrouding the camp with his soul power, and he can clearly hear the conversation of Yuan Zhong in the valley.
The temporary camp is a small plain surrounded by mountains, called Luo Cicada Valley. It is a temporary camp where Yuan Zhi often stays when entering the depths of Thousand Jue Cicada Mountains. It was originally an abyss.
A long time ago, when there were still strong people in the Transformation Realm on the mainland, there was a Transformation Realm here who encountered a wave of ice demons, cicadas and beasts.
Hundreds of millions of ice evil cicadas were killed and buried here, forming this small canyon plain.
In the end, the strong man died here due to exhaustion and serious injuries.
After countless years, the Ice Demon Cicada still does not dare to come here. It is regarded as a forbidden area for the Ice Demon Cicada, so this place has become a safer place.
In addition to Luo Chan Valley, there is another place nearby that is relatively safe, and that is Jin Chan Slope.
There are countless golden-winged cicadas whose lifespan has reached the limit, and they have retired to die there, which also forms a forbidden area for the ice demon cicada.
The area of Jinchanpo is several times larger than Luochan Valley, and the largest number of Yuan people have settled there.
The more Yuan people go there, the more conflicts there will naturally be.
At this moment, in addition to the Sikou family in Qianxue City, Jinchanpo also has more than 20 people from Qianxue City’s Tuchan Tower, Ji Hanhui, Binghuo Mansion, Baijue City’s Shuijue Palace and Sifang Palace, and Wangchan City’s Wangyue Sect. power.
There are dozens of peak powerhouses in the late stage of Nirvana, and there are also quite a few monsters in the late fourth level.
In addition to Jin Chan Slope and Luo Cicada Valley, there are hundreds of places in the surrounding area where you can avoid the Ice Demon Cicada, but none of them are as safe as these two places.
………
Li Yuan and Li Yuan were hiding in the distance, with their backs against the Snowy Cloud Lion, and had already been completely buried in the snow.
Blinking his eyes, Yuan Yao saw through the narrow gaps in the snow that a three-party camp had formed in Luo Chan Valley.
"Why aren't the Duanmu family together with the Jiagu family?" Yuan Yao asked.
"Why do we want to be together?" Li Yun asked.
"Aren't the two families planning to get married? They are naturally close." Yuan Yao was puzzled.
Li Yuan learned some deeper information through the conversation in the valley, and told Yuan Yao his previous speculation.
The Jiagu family's marriage move did not go smoothly. Both parties took action at the same time. In the end, only the Jiagu family benefited the most.
Yan Teng was afraid of affecting his status in the Sikou family and prevented the marriage.
Moreover, if the Jiagu family declines, it will be more beneficial to the Sikou family, as it will lose a major enemy.
For these reasons, the Duanmu family in Wangchancheng had no objection, but they also did not agree.
Duanmu Jinghai, within the family, was very unfavorable about this matter, so naturally he would not stand in the same camp as them.
………
A few days later.
The Xueyun Lion ran, and bursts of roaring sounds came from outside Luo Cicada Valley, awakening Li Yuan from his practice.
"What's going on? Why do I feel the aura of killing?"
Yuan Yao, with the ground as his bed and the snow as his blanket, woke up from his dream.
"Qiu Yuyan, the master of Baiwufang, has arrived." Li Yuandao.
Yuan Yao was startled and whispered: "Qiu Yuyan? One of the Four Cicada Kings? What is she doing here?
"Aren't you afraid that other forces will loot Baiwufang's lair? Is she not afraid of losing her life here?"
Li Yuanqian smiled and said: "There is no one left in the team led by Ji Shenghuan. If anyone is not in a hurry, they will definitely come and check.
"She also brought along a strong man with the cultivation of the peak of Nirvana."
Yuan Yao didn't believe it: "The peak of Nirvana? Did you make a mistake in your investigation, or did Xiaoloulou make a mistake?
"I haven't heard of the existence of the perfect peak of Nirvana in this area."
“There’s not one here, there must be some from other places.
"No, there are several people in their team whose cultivation levels are all at the peak of the late Nirvana stage, only slightly weaker than Ren Peng.
"This kind of strength, appearing at the same time, is definitely not the thirty-six unique ones of Chanling, it should also be the eight guardians.
"Their aura seems to have appeared in the VIP room of Qianxue Auction House Bihai Pavilion."
Li Yuan thought for a while and continued: "When we can move on, I will follow them first.
"You wait for a while and then bring the Snow Cloud Lion to follow.
"With the Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ling in hand, as long as you don't act recklessly and use your innate ability to predict danger, walking alone on Thousand Jue Cicada Ridge shouldn't be a big problem."
"Why?" Yuan Yao was puzzled.
Li Yuan explained: “The current situation is a little different from what I expected.
“The perfect peak of Nirvana has appeared, and there are also several top eight protectors.
“If there is any friction, the situation will definitely be very chaotic.
"You stay away, it's safer."
Yuan Yao nodded repeatedly and said: "Xiao Yuan, I think your arrangement is very good."
"Having no conscience." Li Yuan gave Yuan Yao a blank look.
………
"Whoever stole Baiwufang's Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ling, if I let me know, I will crush him to ashes and destroy his whole family."
Not long after the Baiwufang team entered Luo Cicada Valley, a roar like thunder sounded.
On the hillside dozens of miles away, Yuan Yao trembled with fright and subconsciously touched the Yun ring on her finger.
She secretly thought in her heart that Xiao Yuan had made all the arrangements. If she really followed him on the road, Juxue Chihuoling would be discovered sooner or later.
Qiu Yuyan of Baiwufang, who was going crazy in Luo Cicada Valley, kept emphasizing the destruction of snow and red fire silk, and did not mention the damaged team.
Naturally, the people of the Jiagu family would not take the initiative to stop them. They were both members of the Baijuecheng forces, and Baiwufang had always wanted to replace them.
The Jiagu family, which is declining day by day, although there are many family members, cannot completely suppress Baiwufang, which specializes in elites.
As for the Duanmu family, they wouldn't say hello. The two parties had no intersection, not to mention that Baiwufang and the Sikou family were relatively close.
"Master Qiu, there shouldn't be the person you're looking for here. If you're crazy enough, just be quiet for a while."
Ren Peng suddenly burst out from Ling Yunting's team, which was really unbearable.
Hearing this, Qiu Yuyan said fiercely to Ren Peng: "Dragon Protector Ren, don't think that because you are the Protector of Jinlingshan, I don't dare to kill."
Qiu Yuyan has white hair and wears a white dress. There is no other color on her body. She seems to be integrated with the world.
Although he is over a hundred years old, his appearance does not look old at all, and his skin is like snow.
"It's just you..." Ren Peng's face darkened and he took a few steps closer to Qiu Yuyan.
"Both of you, don't be so tempered, don't get angry.
"Master Qiufang, there are too many Yuan practitioners entering Chanling this time, and it is inevitable that they will fight with each other.
"Since Guifang has lost the Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ribbon, just pay attention to the Yuan Zhe who uses the Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ribbon.
"Nowadays, except for the Siko family, anyone with Yuan who uses the Snow-Destroying Red Fire Ling is naturally the evil one.
“We stayed in Luo Chan Valley for many days, it was so difficult.
"It's inevitable that everyone is a little angry, so Protector Ren is a little out of sorts."
A tall middle-aged man walked out of the Lingyunting area.
This person is Ling Yan, the owner of Lingyunting Pavilion, one of the thirty-six unique ones in Chanling.
At this moment, the old man coughed twice from the team in Baiwufang and said: "Master Qiufang, find a place to rest!"
Through the gap between the snowy cloud lions, you can vaguely see an old man wearing green and white brocade clothes, with a slender figure and a gloomy face.
"Bihai Pavilion bets on Hong Tao?" Ren Peng spat out a few words uncertainly.
The old man smiled and said, "I seldom walk around outside. I didn't expect that someone would recognize me."
"I'm Ren Peng in Jinling Mountain. I've heard the name of Elder Hong Tao for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet here." Ren Peng introduced himself very politely.
He has been working abroad, and he has long remembered the famous and powerful people on the mainland through the information and images given by the sect.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary conflicts and falling into passivity, he has at least the information of three to five thousand strong men, whose strength is above him.
"That's it!" Gambling Hongtao suddenly realized, but he didn't say anything more.
There is a big gap between Ren Peng and him, so he will not take him seriously.
Suddenly, a Yuanzhe shouted: "The snow in the Cicada Cave has stopped, and all the ice evil cicadas are gone. We can continue to set off."
"Is it real?"
"It's true. I received a message from my friends over at Jinchanpo. All the forces there have already set off."
"..."
Suddenly, this news exploded in Luo Chan Valley, and all Yuan practitioners became excited.
After being stuck in this valley for quite some time, we were finally able to move forward, and everyone cheered.
Not long after, the torrent formed by the four forces began to move.
Looking at the movements of each camp in the distance, Li Yuan took out a scroll from Yun Jie and told Yuan Yao: "This is the map of the depths of Qianjue Cicada Ridge that I got from Leng Hanfeng. It is more detailed. You can refer to the map."
Yuan Yao nodded, took the map scroll, leaned against the Xueyun Lion, and watched Li Yuan leave.
………
The four forces of Lingyunting, Baiwufang, Duanmu Family and Jiagu Family, with nearly a hundred Snow Cloud Lions and five to six hundred yuan worth, marched towards the depths of Qianjue Zen Mountain in a mighty manner.
On the way, we encountered several waves of small beasts, which were easily wiped out by them.
As people continued to gather from other places, in just a few days, this multi-party team grew to the number of thousands of people.
"You can't follow like this. They have Snow Cloud Lions, but I don't."
Li Yuan looked at the huge team from a distance and felt very depressed.
