"After you came out, you met the Xuanhan Split Sea Whale?" Zhao Ning asked.
Chai Jin glanced at me and said, "I fainted after I came out, and I saw you when I woke up."
Zhao Ning paused for a moment and then penetrated. The little Xuanhan Split Sea Whale was still walking downstream of the boat. It probably sensed Zhao Ning's aura and poked its head out.
"Little guy, can you take us to the place where we found him?"
Xiao Xuanhan's sea-splitting whale snorted twice, then plunged into the sea and turned in another direction.
Zhao Ning glanced back at Qin Keyuan, and the two of them disappeared on the boat in an instant, and then appeared on the back of Xiao Xuanhan's sea-splitting whale.
Xiao Xuanhan's sea-splitting whale didn't take them for long, and they arrived nearby in less than a stick of incense.
Zhao Ning was surprised. This was actually near Wangxian Death City. Xiao Xuanhan's sea-splitting whale swam twice around the edge of a collapse.
"Uncle Master, could these fragments be the ancient teleportation array?"
Qin Keyuan glanced at it and said, "The one-way teleportation array will be destroyed immediately once it is opened. It can only teleport one person. It should be used for emergency evacuation."
"The other disciples of the sect..."
"Go to the Thousand Tough Mountains first."
"good."
Zhao Ning responded, knelt down and patted Xiao Xuan Han's sea-splitting whale's head to say thank you, and then returned to the spirit boat with Qin Keyuan in an instant.
"Senior brother, Zhao Ning, how are you? Can you teleport back again?" Ji Xiu stepped forward.
Zhao Ning shook his head, "It's one-way and self-destructive."
"Damn it." Ji Xiu cursed.
Qin Keyuan said, "You guys go back to Kunxu first, and I'll go directly to the Qianren Mountains to have a look."
Zhao Ning said, "Uncle Master, I'm with you. I may have some clues."
Qin Keyuan glanced at her and responded.
Ji Xiu and others also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Qin Keyuan. He told them, "After we return to Kunxu, we should keep a low profile and observe until we come back."
"Yes." All the disciples bowed and responded. Only Chai Jin snorted, "Hypocritical."
The disciples looked at him sharply, but Qin Keyuan didn't seem to hear him. He stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Ning's waist, and instantly broke into the void and left.
Zhao Ning could naturally keep up with Qin Keyuan for short-distance teleportation, but there was a distance of thousands of miles between this place and Qianren Mountains. Unless Nascent Soul shattered the void and traveled across, even teleportation would take several days.
The Qianren Mountains are mostly rugged rock cliffs with little vegetation, making them look even darker under the night. There are ancient formation restrictions here that cannot be overcome except by Nascent Soul.
Qin Keyuan stood high in the Qianren Mountains with Zhao Ning on his arm. He could faintly see that the entire mountain range was covered with a layer of black light.
"Uncle Master, what is the purpose of this formation?"
"It is rumored that it was used to seal the ancient underground volcano, but it seems that is not the case now." Qin Keyuan said, "The formation here should have been opened, and there is indeed an ancient atmosphere leaking out."
He looked down at Zhao Ning, "What clues do you know?"
Zhao Ning raised his hand, and a Kyushu Wheel with only half left in it appeared in his hand.
"Yu Yu's divine decree of pardon?" Qin Keyuan murmured.
"Uncle Master also called it the Divine Order of Yu Yu's Pardon?" Zhao Ning asked doubtfully, "But Bi Lingyan called her Jiuzhou Wheel. Back then, I went to Tianji Palace to set up a time and space landmark for Uncle Master, and Bi Lingyan happened to go straight to it. This thing came here, originally for cooperation, but when I opened the sky-gazing mirror, I secretly snatched the thing, and I cut half of it. But when she mentioned cooperation, she said that this thing can open up a prehistoric land, and I I thought she was lying several times, but now it seems like it’s true?”
She handed half of the Jiuzhou Wheel to Qin Keyuan. Qin Keyuan felt it slightly and injected magic power into it. He only saw strange changes in all living things on it, as if there were fluctuations in the void but seemed to be blocked by something.
He frowned slightly, and then a sword light shot out fiercely from the divine light. With a slash in the void, the fluctuation seemed to have fallen into place. Only a circle of lines like the lines on the Kyushu wheel appeared faintly on the mountains haloed by black light below. As the lines rotate, an extremely unstable black hole appears.
"Uncle Master, this is the entrance to the secret realm."
Qin Keyuan moved his arms and appeared in the black hole in an instant.
Entering it, your vision is wide and bright, and you see an endless grassland. The grass is all withered and yellow, and the ground is scattered with scattered bones and piles of high rocks. When you look up, there is no sun or moon, but it forms a sky of its own, with a wingspan of three feet in the sky. Golden eagles are circling, and on the high rocks there are vultures weighing a thousand kilograms, staring with their long necks. This is unusual. Going deeper, you can see the giant beasts wandering on the grassland, and the can be seen everywhere in mid-air. Space cracks.
These giant beasts were extremely keen and could easily detect foreign visitors. However, Qin Keyuan was just flying at high altitude with Zhao Ning. Those giant beasts stood directly on their hind legs, roared, reached the sky with their front paws, and even opened their vicious mouths to bite. move.
Zhao Ning can only do a shallow sweep, but the highest level of strength is comparable to Nascent Soul, and the lowest level is as strong as Foundation Establishment.
These space cracks are very similar to the Spiritual Mist Forest. Thunder light lingers around the edges of the cracks, and a strong wind blows from the outside. However, the force of the strong wind is far greater than that of the Spiritual Mist Forest. Even the wind blowing to the body is bit biting. The feeling, and the crack in this space is dark, like endless nothingness, with no self-contained space.
Qin Keyuan seemed to have sensed something since he entered it. Affected by the cracks in space, he could not directly break through the void. He could only fly in a certain direction with Zhao Ning along the way.
Even so, they flew for half an hour, and soon, Zhao Ning heard the sound of fighting.
In an instant, they saw a monster beast like a hill attacking a group of cultivators. Each of these cultivators looked exhausted and in extreme embarrassment, as if they would not be able to hold on any longer at the next moment.
"No!" Someone among the cultivators screamed in alarm.
Zhao Ning suddenly jumped forward, cast a clear light, spread it under the monster's feet, and held up its feet, which were two feet wide. Under its feet was a seriously injured female cultivator lying on the ground.
The clear light solidified into a chain, clinging to the monster's legs. With a wave of his sleeve, the monster's entire body was flipped ten feet away. This was already the limit distance that Zhao Ning could hit with a casual blow. The weight of the beast is probably huge.
The monster fell heavily to the ground, causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere, and the ground for miles around jumped up and down.
At this moment, I heard a surprise shout, "Zhao Ning? It's you!"
Zhao Ning heard that the voice was somewhat familiar. She turned her eyes and saw a male cultivator in ragged clothes rushing out from the crowd of cultivators. He was almost unrecognizable.
"Zhao Ning!" He pushed his long hair away from his eyes with both hands, revealing his sallow face, "It's me, Chen Tian."
"Senior Brother Chen?" Zhao Ning was a little dazed. Chen Tian's clean and gentlemanly demeanor had not changed at any time, but he no longer wanted to be in such a mess.
Zhao Ning fell to the ground.
Chen Tian came up with a group of cultivators, "It's really you."
Several other people went to help the female cultivator on the ground, but it was someone Zhao Ning knew, "Senior Sister Minluo."
Minluo was already confused.
Chen Tian said, "That's great, Zhao Ning, you have already reached the Jindan realm. We can no longer be your senior brothers and sisters."
The person next to him was even more excited, "Junior Sister Zhao Ning, ah no, Senior Uncle Shen, are you here to save us?"
Before Zhao Ning could speak, she heard another person shouting, "That three-phase demon elephant is getting up again. Hurry, run!"
But the next moment, the hill-like three-phase demon elephant fell directly to the ground and lost consciousness.
"It's okay, uncle is here."
The group of people were a little confused, and then they followed Zhao Ning and looked up, and saw a tall man standing in the sky. He stood with his hands behind his back. He had black hair mixed with white, but he looked middle-aged.
But they recognized him in an instant, and Chen Tian subconsciously shouted, "First... Qin's first seat."
But at this moment, someone in the crowd said, "What leader? It's obviously the devil."
Zhao Ning frowned and glanced at this group of people. She saw that their expressions were either indifferent, evasive, or fearful. They were not surprised or excited to see Qin Keyuan, and even the respect they once had in the sect was gone. .
Chen Tian concealed his fear and bowed to the higher place, "Thank you, sir."
It seemed that the sight from high above could not discern their changing expressions, but Qin Keyuan's voice remained calm.
"How many disciples of our sect are there in the secret realm? Are there anyone else besides you?"
After a few breaths of silence, Chen Tian still replied, "Bingshou, there are more than sixty Qingxiao Sect disciples who have entered the secret realm. In addition to us, there are seven teams."
Zhao Ning paused and said, "I heard from Chai Jin that if the entire Qingxiao Sect's disciples were thrown into the secret realm, why there were only more than sixty of them."
Chen Tian replied, "Since the massacre of... decades ago, there have been less than five hundred disciples who have returned to the Qingxiao Sect. Later, most of them expelled themselves from the Qingxiao Sect and went to other sects, and there are still some The next few all worshiped the Yuhua Sect when the Yuhua Sect merged with our Qingxiao Sect, and those who stayed behind all stayed voluntarily."
The last sentence was somewhat embellished. There were very few people who stayed voluntarily, and most of them were left because they didn't have the required qualifications.
Zhao Ning was silent for a long time. She looked up at Qin Keyuan. Qin Keyuan only responded lightly, "I know." Then she looked at the wild land, as if sensing other Qingxiao Sect teams.
After a while, Qin Keyuan said to Zhao Ning, "Zhao Ning, protect them while I go to another place to take a look."
"Okay." Zhao Ning responded.
Qin Keyuan disappeared into the sky, and these disciples became slightly more active.
Someone asked, "Uncle Shen, why did you follow this person here?"
Someone else said, "Uncle Shen, stay away from this devil..."
Before the man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Ning, "Do you know what you are talking about? Devil, what did you shout when you were the head of the four major sects of Qingxiao Sect? Have you forgotten?!"
Chen Tian saw that Zhao Ning was angry and quickly stopped him, "Zhao Ning, you may not know that this Qin Keyuan... the leader of Qin, used the Golden Elixir Ceremony and the four major sects to challenge the conference and massacred thousands of people in Kunxu."
Zhao Ning noticed something unusual, "Those people, including the sect disciples, have had their consciousness invaded by the demon, and have been demonized from the inside out. Don't you know?"
Someone muttered, "I know. But there's no way that all of them have been possessed by demons. They are all disciples of large sects and big families, and only some casual cultivators have become demons."
Zhao Ning looked at him suddenly. The male cultivator looked lean. Zhao Ning had vaguely seen him at the inner door.
There were waves in her heart. She raised her eyes and scanned all the disciples, and found that almost all of them had expressions of approval. The hands hidden in the sleeves suddenly clenched fists.
Perhaps noticing that Zhao Ning's expression was wrong, Chen Tian tried to change the subject, "Senior Sister Shen, let's not talk about this anymore. I just heard you say that you met Senior Brother Chai?"
"Yes, he was on the same team with you before?" Zhao Ning hid the chill in her heart. She knew better than anyone else that a verbal argument could not change their understanding at all.
"They were with us at first. Later, I went to explore an ancient ruins with Senior Brother Shao Jun of Lingxiao Peak. We no longer seem to have met them." Chen Tian replied.
"How long have you been thrown in here?"
"About ten years."
According to Zhao Ning's careful calculation, it was probably after Bi Lingyan returned to the Yuhua Sect that she began to study the half of the Kyushu Wheel, and she might even have found a way to open the Qianren Mountain Formation in less than a few months.
She began to wonder why Bi Lingyan knew so well.
After a few days, Qin Keyuan's figure finally appeared in the sky. With a wave of his robe sleeves, more than twenty people were thrown away from the universe in the sleeves, and then his figure disappeared again.
"Zhenren Shao, Zhenren Yu, Zhenren Luo..." Chen Tianyi and others shouted in surprise, and rushed forward. The lowest level of this group of cultivators was building the foundation. There would be no injuries at all when they fell to the ground. One of them turned over. He stood up and pointed at the sky and cursed, "Why is this devil still alive? I, the disciple of Qingxiao Sect, don't care about his rescue."
"Master Luo, calm down." Another Master Jindan stopped him with a frown.
The two teams met and exchanged a few words. Chen Tian led the real person to Zhao Ning and said, "Zhao Ning, this is Zhenren Shao of Lingxiao Peak."
Shao Jun saw Zhao Ning, cupped his hands and smiled, "So it's you. We haven't seen each other for many years, and we have already formed elixirs. That's great."
This Shao Jun is quite prestigious in Lingxiao Peak. He is the first person under the master of Lingxiao Peak. He is the registered disciple of Master Lingxiao. However, he has a very different temperament from the master of Lingxiao Peak.
Zhao Ning returned the greeting, "Master Shao, my uncle and I met Chai Jin who was teleported from the ancient teleportation array. We knew that the sect was suffering, so we rushed here, but it was ten years too late."
"Hmph, hypocritical." Master Naluo snorted again.
Zhao Ning has ignored it on his own.
