"It is estimated that in a few hours, our spiritual power will be restored." Pu Zheng took a bite of tiger meat and said calmly.
"Let nature take its course. Come on, have a good drink first!" Song Laohu disagreed and grabbed the wine bottle handed over by Zhou Yang and took a big gulp. He was suffocated all day and night.
"Yes, drink, drink."
"Brother Zhou, is this the favor you asked me for?" Wu Changan approached Zhou Yang and asked.
"He has some connection with me."
"oh?"
"He met me once when I was just born."
"That's it. Thank you!"
"That's not necessary. If I hadn't insisted on coming here, you wouldn't have suffered. I'm sorry for you." Zhou Yang said after taking a sip of wine.
"What Brother Zhou said, we came here voluntarily and have nothing to do with you." Zhong Ming waved his hand.
"By the way, where did Fan Yuan come from? Where did he take you?" Bai Meng was curious about these questions.
"Fan Yuan is a casual cultivator. He came to Wangyue Ridge to hunt for treasures."
"Treasure hunting! Did you two go to the treasure hiding place?" Zhong Ming's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
In fact, everyone has this guess, but there is no confirmation. From what Zhou Yang said, they didn't have many surprises.
"Yes, he once obtained a treasure map. According to what is written on the map, this is the ruins of the ancient Tongtian Holy Sect. There is a general range of the treasure hiding place, but without the tokens of the Tongtian Holy Sect, you cannot enter there. It's in a place where treasures are hidden." Zhou Yang briefly explained the matter, but did not elaborate on some details.
"So he has been looking for the Tongtian Holy Sect's token for ten years?" Pu Zheng asked.
"That's good, but he only found part of it, and there's still a lot left to go." This was the truth. The two of them only had five tokens together, and they were still short of more than half.
"Did you two go to the treasure hiding place before?" Wang Dahai came up.
He was quite dissatisfied with Zhou Yang before, not only because of Xing'er's incident, but also because he insisted on leading everyone here and almost lost his life.
However, Zhou Yang not only begged Fan Yuan to let them go, but also tried his best to help them recover, so the resentment of Wang and Liu had dissipated by now.
"That's right, it's just that I didn't have a token, so it would have been in vain. Moreover, I was attacked by the ban. Fan Yuan was seriously injured. I escaped only by luck." Zhou Yang showed a lingering fear on his face.
"All the fake elixir masters were seriously injured? What a powerful restriction!" Everyone gasped, and their thoughts that were about to be tempted by the treasure were cooled down at this time.
Just kidding, even the fake elixir masters almost couldn't come back. They were just Lingtai cultivators, so how many of them died?
"If you are not a master of Golden elixir or above, it will be difficult to break the restriction." Zhou Yang poured cold water on them again.
"Oh, Golden Core! It will be great if we can enter the realm of Tianyuan. That goal is too far away!" Bai Meng sighed.
"What was the Tongtian Holy Sect like in ancient times?" Wu Changan asked.
"I don't know, Fan Yuan didn't elaborate. We'd better not spread what happened today, otherwise it will be troublesome if he finds out." Zhou Yang warned.
"I'll understand later."
Everyone knew that Fan Yuanlin had murderous intentions towards them before setting off. If Zhou Yang hadn't interceded, their heads would have been moved.
Although Fan Yuan was seriously injured at this time, it was still easy to chase them after he recovered.
"Come, eat meat, eat meat. The fourth brother's craftsmanship is really good. This tiger meat is grilled, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It's delicious, delicious!" Song Laohu was in a good mood and was not upset because he failed to find the treasure. I drank a mouthful of tiger meat and drank a sip of wine, looking like I was enjoying myself.
Infected by him, everyone started feasting, and in a short while, more than half of the white tigers were wiped out.
The meal didn't take long. Because there was an unknown factor like Fan Yuan, everyone didn't drink too much. After eating, they packed up and prepared to go down the mountain.
In fact, there was nothing to clean up. There was still a white tiger that had been skinned. Song Laohu put it into a storage bag. He had just stuffed the tiger skin into Zhou Yang's storage bag. It must be Miss Xing'er. like.
This move made Zhong Ming and others roll their eyes.
"Hey, brother Zhou, what's your aura?" Zhong Ming's spiritual power was the first to recover, and he was keenly aware of the changes in Zhou Yang's aura.
"The spiritual energy in that place was too strong, and I was lucky enough to get a breakthrough." Zhou Yang wrote lightly.
"A fluke! Is it a fluke to break through two levels in a row?" Zhong Ming almost couldn't breathe. This guy was so annoying. It was very difficult for them to break through the first level, but this kid...
"What, he, he broke through two realms in a row? Now you are, you are the ninth level of the Lingtai!" Wang Dahai's eyes almost popped out.
Liu Wen also murmured in his heart. Our group of people went through all kinds of hardships to reach Wangyue Ridge and didn't even get anything. This kid is the only one who has benefited greatly. This God is so damn unfair!
"Okay, hurry up and get on your way!" Although Pu Zheng's heart was agitated, seeing that Zhou didn't want to say more, he had to urge everyone to leave quickly.
Although most people's spiritual power has not yet recovered, there is no problem in going down the mountain, it just takes longer.
Before sunset, they had already arrived at the foot of Fengqi Mountain.
After taking the horses, the group of people galloped towards the original road.
The road went smoothly. The bandits fled in the wind. There were wild beasts blocking the road. Those who could eat were eaten, and those who couldn't were chopped into pieces with swords.
Seeing Hudong Fucheng clearly in sight, a large group of people, more than a thousand in number, suddenly appeared on the official road ahead.
These people were all wearing golden armor, and all of them were sitting on tall horses. Four people were galloping on the official road in a row. After the people and horses passed by, behind the official road there were billowing air waves and dusty sky. The momentum was so grand.
"It's really strange. How could Jin Chengguo's imperial army come to the small Hudong Mansion?" Song Laohu said to himself as he looked at the man. It seemed that he knew the origin of these people.
"Are any relatives of the emperor arriving?" Bai Meng asked, staring at the people in front of him.
"It's possible, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many imperial troops dispatched. But there's no imperial umbrella cover behind them?" Zhong Ming asked doubtfully.
"Huh, just a mere mortal, showing off in front of a cultivator, you really don't know the heights of the world." Wang Dahai curled his lips.
"Yes, these ordinary people still dare to block our way. I think they are impatient!" Liu Wenye said coldly.
"Forget it, let's dodge first and let them pass." Pu Zheng was mature and cautious, and did not want to cause trouble.
"This, okay."
Pu Zhengyuan's status in Xuanfu Sect was much higher than theirs. When he spoke, the two of them naturally did not dare to persist.
More than ten horses lined up in front of and behind the roadside to clear the road. After a while, the large group of imperial guards fell.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly!" Still more than ten feet away from them, the forest guard at the front shouted loudly.
"Where the hell are you going? If you dodge again, you'll end up in the ditch!" Wang Dahai responded in a loud voice in a hurry.
"Bold! Are you blind? I am an imperial guard. If you don't get out of the way, you will be killed!" A golden-armored guard was furious and struck Wang Dahai with a whip.
"Seeking death!" Wang Dahai did not dodge or dodge. When he saw the whip approaching, he suddenly turned aside and reached out to grab the tip of the whip. With a little force, he pushed it in front of him, and the Ouchi guard on the horse was pulled down.
The man hurriedly released his whip, but it was too late. Due to inertia, he still fell off the horse.
The other three horses had already run past, but they quickly turned around and rushed back.
The men and horses at the rear originally maintained their formation, but when they saw that the three leaders had turned their horses' heads, they had to stop.
Fortunately, these people were well-trained and reined in their horses in time, so that they would not disrupt the formation.
The imperial guards at the back shouted loudly and asked what happened.
"Who are you? Have you eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?" the leader shouted sharply on the horse.
However, his knowledge was wider than others. Although the people in front of him were dressed in ordinary clothes, they had extraordinary bearings and an indescribable sense of being out of the world, so he did not whip his whip like the previous guard.
"Passers-by! We have already stepped aside, what else do you want? Do you still want us to kneel down to greet you?" Wang Dahai said with a mocking look in his eyes.
"Deputy General Li, don't waste words with these common people, just cut them into pieces! Anyone who dares to offend the royal family will be punished by death."
The guard who was pulled off his horse was getting up from the ground in disgrace, limping towards Deputy General Manager Li, and said angrily.
He had just suffered from Wang Dahai. Although his voice was stern, he still did not dare to come forward.
"You're looking for a fight!" Wang Dahai's eyes widened in anger, and he wanted to step forward to teach this man a lesson, but was stopped by Pu Zheng.
"Are you the deputy general manager of Ouchi? Very good. We are cultivators from Dingbeicheng and have come to Jincheng State for important matters. You just go there, but don't make it public, otherwise..." Pu Zheng said in a deep voice.
Since a conflict has arisen, some entanglement is inevitable, so it is better to reveal your identity and understand the matter as soon as possible.
"Immortal, from the Immortal City!" Before Deputy Manager Li could say anything, the guard who had previously clamored to cut Wang Dahai into pieces with random blades screamed out in surprise, his legs trembling a little.
He secretly cursed himself for being so mean-mouthed and actually wanted to verbally insult the immortal. Wasn't he looking for death?
Even His Majesty the Emperor was respectful to the inspecting immortals, not to mention that he was just a small guard. Then his legs went weak and he knelt down subconsciously. This was a typical person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
"Immortal City Cultivator! This..." Deputy General Manager Li originally thought that these people might be martial arts masters, but when he heard that these people came from Immortal City, he was really shocked.
Just kidding, if it really offended the immortal, then it would be fine.
However, this person has been in a high position for a long time and is not a reckless and gullible person. He still has some doubts about saying that he is an immortal just because of his red mouth and white teeth.
With a "chi" sound, Pu Zheng pointed a spiritual light and shot it into the woods on the official road. The guard was so frightened that he trembled and almost peed his pants.
Upon seeing this, Deputy General Manager Li quickly got off his horse and bowed to pay homage. The other two people also lay down.
"It doesn't have to be like this. I said, don't make it public. If our identity is revealed, you will know the consequences." Pu Zheng said calmly.
