Chu Yuan had no idea how far he had fled all the way. When he finally calmed down, it was already dusk. Even if he was hanging high, he could not see the Pinghai Peak. .

During this rapid flight, he felt that his ears were filled with the whistling of the wind, and all he could see before his eyes were layers of mountains moving backwards like waves, and he didn’t know how far he had flown. Now that the spiritual energy in his body was almost exhausted, he didn't know if he had gotten rid of that terrifying demon bird when he fled all the way, but at least when he looked back several times, there was nothing behind him, and it seemed that he had already He was safe, but he was really scared to death by the weird monster bird. He always felt that whenever he turned his head and fled forward, there seemed to be that monster bird behind him, and its weird and ferocious face was almost there. It stuck to the back of his head, urging him to keep flying forward.

Until he was far enough, until he felt at ease. Of course, Chu Yuan was exhausted at this time and could no longer carry on. Looking back at this moment, he saw the tired birds returning to the forest among the mountains, the setting sun was shining, and there was no trace of that monster anymore. .

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was both funny and made Chu Yuan feel sad and annoyed. When he came, there were eighty or ninety people around him, if not a hundred, and they all followed his orders. Now, after being frightened by the weird and terrifying monster bird, so many people suddenly became like birds and beasts and dispersed. Everyone only focused on escaping for their own lives. Who would listen to his orders anymore? I wonder where those guys fled to. , when Chu Yuan also calmed down, he was alone next to him.

In fact, in the final analysis, these people came together to build their own foundation and to obtain a jade-fat lamp. Before they got the lamp, they could barely share the same hatred and advance and retreat together. But Chu Yuan himself knew very well that even if the number of people gathered like this was doubled or even more, it would be most likely to fall apart. The reason is very simple, that is, everyone is only for themselves.

Now the situation has fulfilled Chu Yuan's idea. They haven't found the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp yet, but they have encountered an extremely powerful monster. The people he led could not bear the suffocating fear. He collapsed immediately, including himself.

Advantages and disadvantages, one benefit and one harm, are all things that test people's hearts!

Alas, relying on those guys, you can't accomplish anything after all!

The sky was getting darker. Although Chu Yuan was completely separated from his people, he had no intention of returning to the sect. He was also very curious about Qian Chao's purpose of coming out this time. This curiosity disappeared after meeting the human-faced owl. It was even more intense. Although he was also greatly frightened, he always felt that the terrifying and powerful monster... He didn't know that it was a human-faced owl... It must be related to Qian Chao. This Qian Chao is really It was so weird, no matter where he went, something strange always seemed to happen.

He is now more sure that Luo Ying's five people were with Qian Chao and the five people last time. The nightmare's vision clearly revealed the situation at that time. After that time, Luo Ying's five people were completely different from each other. He seemed to have lost interest in the ruins and seemed to just practice peacefully within the sect.

This time he followed Qian Chao. Although it was impossible for him to encounter the Earthly Nightmare again, the sudden appearance of that frightening demon bird suddenly caused everyone in him to completely collapse, leaving him alone now. This money wave is so powerful!

But... from this point of view... maybe Qian Chao is already wary of him. Even if he doesn't know his purpose, he and Luo Ying and others have been fighting with each other. Luo Ying will definitely take him. Tell Qian Chao what happened.

Careless!

The sky was completely dark, and everything was pitch black. Through the starlight and the waning moon, the outline of the mountains could barely be made out.

Chu Yuan was still reluctant to go back, but he didn't dare to chase Qian Chao now. He could only find a place to spend the night first, and then wait and see what happened tomorrow.

It was hard to wait until dawn. Chu Yuan spent the night feeling worried and exhausted. When the red sun peeked out from the peaks in the east, Chu Yuan began to hesitate again when he looked at the direction he had fled.

Do you want to go over and see what's going on?

Although the extremely powerful monster yesterday did not hurt anyone, it was probably Qian Chao who warned him that enough was enough and that he could not continue. If he followed it again today, would he completely piss off Qian Chao?

If this is the case, will he die outside the sect?

But then again, even if Qian Chao's methods are brilliant, even if he is proficient in formations, he is not as good as him in terms of cultivation alone. The monster bird yesterday is so powerful that it cannot be his soul or that of the people around him. Bird, there is no doubt about this, but is the appearance of the powerful demon bird related to him?

Was there some powerful person who was with him at that time?

If such a powerful person is still by Qian Chao's side now?

When we met the monster yesterday, we were exposed. If we went there again today and were discovered by others, would this time the person not just warn us... but directly deal with us?

Various contradictory thoughts have been tangled in Chu Yuan's heart. To put it bluntly, the desire for the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp and the fear of the terrifying demon bird are alternately tangled in his heart.

In fact, it is just the desire for foundation building and the fear of unknown dangers.

At a certain moment, Chu Yuan finally figured this out, and at this moment, Chu Yuan finally convinced himself.

How many years do you have left?

If a Qi Refining cultivator cannot build the foundation, his lifespan will be more than 150 years at most. How many years do you have left?

Chu Yuan entered the Wuling Sect to practice more than a hundred years ago and has been in the Wuling Sect since then. After a few years, news from his family reached his ears one after another.

He was born in an inconspicuous little aristocratic family. Although he was abandoned by the family, which meant that Chu Yuan was sent to the Wuling Sect by his own aristocratic family, he was still more concerned about the affairs of his family, so he was very interested in Zong Waizhuan. I have been paying special attention to the news. First, more than seventy years ago, when his cultivation had been stagnating in front of Xiaowu Pass, one of his parents was seriously injured and died in a fight, and the other died because he could not form elixirs. , this news had made him sad for a long time;

Then more than forty years ago, when he entered the advanced level of Qi refining, he learned that some of his familiar brothers in the family had died one after another. Such news only made him stunned for a while. At that time, Chu Yuan I am worrying about how to get the Foundation Building Pill, so I can't think of anything else;

Then more than twenty years ago, he heard that the small aristocratic family he came from had been hit repeatedly and had reached a precarious situation. The reason for this was that the talents in the family were withering and the family fortune was in decline; the second was that the strength was not good enough. He was repeatedly bullied by the surrounding noble families, but at that time Chu Yuan no longer had any feelings about the news. At that time, he had already taken the Foundation Establishment Pill twice, and every time he took the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had great hope. , but every time he failed to build the foundation, it was a heavy blow to him, so he put all his attention on the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp. If he could not build the foundation, he might die that day, and his family would How can you still care about things?

The next step is now. Now even if he wants to know the news about his little aristocratic family, it is impossible. He seems to have heard about the fate of his family. There is not even a decent monk in the family, so it will only die out. There is no way, the cultivation world is so cruel, and the same cruel thing is happening to him. If he cannot build the foundation, one day he will disappear silently, and maybe a few close people will still be there for a short time. His name is remembered in it, but as time goes by, he will be completely forgotten!

This is what makes Chu Yuan deeply afraid. No matter what method he used to take the Foundation Establishment Pill for the third time, he got it, but he has no courage to take it anymore. He must have the Mozun Jade Fat Only the lamp will do, otherwise the fate of your family will repeat itself in you.

How many years are left before your deadline?

As a member of the Ten-Year Club, Chu Yuan knew that he had less than ten years left... He no longer dared to count his lifespan, just because of fear, but now he has about one hand of life left. You can count them.

This is already the case, so what else is there to be afraid of?

If you leave like this, you will be unable to build a foundation and die in the future, that is a dead end; if you follow now, you will be caught by the unknown danger ahead, which is also a dead end!

It's just death on the left and right. The worst situation I'm in right now is a dead end, so what's the point of being afraid of a bird?

When he thought of this, Chu Yuan felt that his heart became much brighter. He looked at the sky and saw that his inner struggle had lasted for almost an hour, so he no longer hesitated and flew towards Pinghai Peak again.



Although he had convinced himself, he still had to be careful when doing it. He could not lose his life carelessly. Therefore, when flying all the way to Pinghai Peak, Chu Yuan was not very fast and was always on high alert. surrounding situation.

Finally he saw Pinghaifeng again. He observed it there for a while, but with his eyesight, it was impossible to discover what secrets Pinghaifeng had by just looking from a distance.

Finally he braved up and flew close to Pinghai Peak.

It was safe and sound, and there was nothing unusual about the quietness of this mountain peak.

Qian Chao and those people should leave here, right?

Chu Yuan thought to himself that he was indeed right.

While Chu Yuan was looking for some clues at Pinghaifeng, Qian Chao and the other five were admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea at the beach. Who knew that someone at Pinghaifeng where the five of them had visited yesterday was anxiously trying to find out some clues?

Chu Yuan searched carefully on the Pinghai Peak. He was thinking that there might be some ruins here, and they should have been opened by Qian Chao, and he also had a strong feeling that if there were any ruins, they must be of great importance, otherwise It was impossible for such a powerful demon bird to drive away people like him yesterday. As long as he found out the reason why Qian Chao came here, he would have to gather those people together again after he went back. He will still rely on those people for future actions, but in the future he will inevitably It's time to change the method. It's time to find an opportunity to attack Qian Chao regardless of the cost, kidnap him, and then force him to open the ruins. We can no longer be as timid as we did with Luo Ying, otherwise we can only be tricked and returned. Gain nothing.

He wandered up and down the mountain, searching carefully until the sun was setting and dusk was approaching, and finally he stopped again.

Apart from feeling that the aura is very good, I didn't notice anything strange about this mountain.

Chu Yuan can be regarded as a person who has been exposed to many ruins. Although he cannot open the ruins, he has seen a lot of ruins whether they have been opened or have not yet been opened. He asked himself that he can see some clues, but in this Pinghai Peak After scrolling for a long time, he found nothing.

What's going on?

But as night fell, he had to find another place to spend the night.

When it got bright again, Chu Yuan looked at the Pinghai Peak again. He was no longer very interested in this peak, even though he clearly saw Qian Chao coming here that day, and even though the fearful monster birds were surrounding it at that time. The mountains were flying up and down, which must mean there was something here, but... limited by his eyesight or cultivation, he couldn't find it anyway.

But...what did Qian Chao find here?

Moreover, what is Qian Chao doing now?

Chu Yuan felt a little frustrated in his heart. He knew that whether he was talented or diligent, he could only be considered mediocre in the sect. The only thing that ranked first among the disciples in the sect was his extremely strong desire to build the foundation. .

But what's the use.

He is not even as good as a little kid who has been in the sect for less than ten years!

I am more than a hundred years older than Qian Chao!

snort!

Don’t be convinced, some things really can’t be measured in years and months!

Since I can't find it, I simply won't look for it. Now it's better to look for traces of Qian Tide again.

With this idea in mind, Chu Yuan started searching aimlessly in this mountain range alone.

In the afternoon of this day, Chu Yuan was so tired that he almost gave up. He planned to return to the sect and reorganize his manpower. To get the jade fat lamp, he could not do it by himself. He had to have helpers. Since he planned to Well, if we want to attack Qian Chao, we must find all those guys and encourage them. Otherwise, it will be difficult for these guys to work together if they are scattered and have their own ideas.

At this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be staring at him.

Because he had been thinking wildly for a while, he didn't pay attention to the situation around him at all, so he didn't wake up suddenly until he met the man's eyes!

Then he saw a person standing there below. It was on the top of a cliff halfway up the mountain. A tall and strong young man in green robe was staring at him coldly. On the stone cliff next to the young man in green robe. , a dark stone door is open.

Chu Yuan's heart beat wildly when he saw it.

First, he recognized who the young man in green robe was. He was the swordsman Mu Xiufeng named Li who was with Qian Chao!

Secondly, he recognized the cave entrance on the stone cliff... Such a location, such a secret, this... is the entrance to the ruins!

Found it...the money tide is here!
