Not long after Snot Wolf left, Wen Changming came over.
Seeing that Wen Changming didn't get up when Ji Liao arrived, he smiled faintly and said, "Senior Brother Wen doesn't adjust his breath and meditate, why did he come to my place?"
Wen Changming randomly found a place to sit down, and handed over to Ji Liao, "I have something to discuss with Junior Brother Ji here."
"Oh?" What's the matter? Ji Liao asked.
"I wonder what Junior Brother Ji thinks of this mission?" Wen Changming asked after seeing Ji Liao's inquiry.
Ji Liao's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Wen Changming, and said with a smile, "What does Senior Brother Wen mean by this?"
When Wen Changming heard what Ji Liao said, he said directly without any delay, "Junior Brother Ji must have noticed that the location of this mission is not quite right. The Huang Cultivation Family is on the fringe of our Purple Air Sect's influence, and has nothing to do with the blood." The Soul Sect's sphere of influence is only a hundred miles away, and the Huang Immortal Cultivation Family has the guts not to turn over resources for two years, so they must have a backer behind them."
Ji Liao raised his eyebrows and said, "What does Senior Brother Yiwen mean? That the Huang Immortal Cultivation Family has rebelled?"
"No one can say for sure without seeing this kind of thing with one's own eyes, but the possibility of rebellion does not rule out."
"Actually, I have thought about this, but since I have accepted the sect mission and cannot cancel it, what can I do?" Ji Liao sighed helplessly after hearing Wen Changming's words.
"That's why I came here." Wen Changming stared at Ji Liao and said.
"Senior Brother Wen, do you have a countermeasure for what you said?" Ji Liao looked at Wen Changming, as if he already had some countermeasure, and asked.
"There is no good way, but look at the people traveling with us who are all familiar with each other in their own peaks. It seems that they have also discovered that this mission is dangerous." After a pause, he glanced at Ji Liao and then He said, "Among these people, only two of us are strangers. I think we should make an agreement. After all, you and I are both disciples of Yanshui Peak and don't know them. So when we encounter danger, we The two of them joined forces and helped each other so that they wouldn't be in a hurry."
Ji Liao nodded. Ji Liao had already seen what Wen Changming said. However, because he was not very familiar with Wen Changming and did not know whether Wen Changming knew those people, he did not go to Wen Changming to discuss it. Regarding this matter, since Wen Changming took the initiative to come to the door, Ji Liao agreed and then said, "Senior Brother Wen's words are exactly what I want."
Wen Changming slapped his thigh, "That's great."
"It's just the alliance that Senior Brother Wen said..." Ji Liao glanced at Wen Changming suspiciously and said.
"Of course, when we encounter danger, we only care about the two of us. We don't care about other people's accidents."
When Ji Liao heard about Wen Changming's alliance, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. It turned out that Wen Changming didn't have any good ideas, but they were both disciples of Yanshui Peak and their relationship was indeed on a higher level than the others, so they were trustworthy.
"That's all."
Wen Changming stood up, patted his robe, and cupped his hands towards Ji Liao, "That's it, Wen will leave now."
Ji Liao nodded.
Looking at Wen Changming's retreating figure, Ji Liao immediately closed his eyes, but in his heart he was wondering if Snot Wolf would hear anything from Zheng Tianlong.
In fact, although this mission is dangerous and unknown, Ji Liao feels that even if the Huang family attacks a few of them, he will still be able to escape. Not to mention that he has made a lot of preparations before coming here. If Snotlout Wolf uses his full speed, I believe that if he doesn't have the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he won't be able to catch up with him. Even if he can't defeat him, he can still escape.
Instead, what he is worried about now is Zheng Tianlong. During this period of time, Zheng Tianlong's eyes have always appeared in his mind. The more he thinks about it, the more something is wrong. Zheng Tianlong is a genius, he must have a lot of treasures in his hands, and his cultivation level is higher than him. It would be dangerous if he was not careful on the way here and allowed Zheng Tianlong to take advantage of it, so now he is always tense, always on guard against Zheng Tianlong who has unknown intentions and will suddenly attack.
This mountain forest is quite secluded. The stars are shining all over the sky and casting a little afterglow, illuminating the mountain forest clearly. Birds, beasts and insects are chirping all around. If Ji Liao didn't have something on his mind, he would really appreciate the scenery here.
About two hours later, Snotlout Wolf's voice suddenly appeared in Ji Liao's ears, "Boss, I'm back."
Ji Liao, who was meditating, frowned. Without opening his eyes, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why can't you discover something?"
"No, that woman seemed to be Zheng Tianlong's subordinate. When I got there, I only heard Zheng Tianlong telling the woman to be more vigilant, and then the woman left. After the woman left, Zheng Tianlong closed his eyes. After I got up from meditating, I squatted for a while and saw that guy came back without any movement."
"Well, you should come back first." Ji Liao nodded, then pointed towards the void in front of him.
The void was shaken and distorted, and then a stream of light appeared out of thin air, disappeared into the spirit beast bag and disappeared.
"I hope I'm worrying too much." Ji Liao said lightly, then closed his eyes again and sat up to meditate.
A new sun rises, a ray of sunshine appears on the horizon, the darkness is gradually dispersed, and a new day arrives on time.
On top of a mountain, several rainbows were seen shooting up quickly and flying into the distance.
In a dark secret room, two people were sitting cross-legged on a futon.
But they saw that both of them were wearing khaki robes. One of them looked like an old man, with white hair and white beard, sallow skin, and wrinkles on his face. Judging from his appearance, he was already very old.
The other man was in his thirties. He had a strong build, prominent muscles, and meticulously combed hair. He looked quite heroic.
At this time, the young man spoke first, "Clan leader, how is our ancestor doing? Ever since the Blood Soul Sect gave us the method of refining the Ten Thousand Soul Sail, our ancestor has been in seclusion. But I have no idea.”
The old man glanced at the young man indifferently and said, "The ancestor has been refining the Ten Thousand Soul Sail in the underground palace for the past few years. It is estimated that he will be released from seclusion in a few months."
"Hey...actually..." The young man was unhappy after hearing the old man's words. He stopped what he wanted to say, as if he was hesitating to speak.
"Just say what you want to say. There are only two of us here. What are you afraid of? Why are you so hesitant?" Seeing the young man's appearance, the old man's face darkened and he scolded.
The young man's eyes flashed slightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong with us being attached to the power of the Purple Air Sect. It has been two thousand years. Although our Huang family has encountered some small difficulties, we are still in a state of shock. It’s dangerous, but for rebelling against the Purple Air Sect this time, I’m afraid the retaliation we will suffer will not be something our family can bear.”
"You bastard!" The old man sternly scolded him upon hearing this, and then said, "You dare to question our ancestor's decision?"
Seeing the old man getting angry, the young man trembled and said repeatedly, "Don't dare, don't dare."
"Hmph!" The old man snorted heavily, "When the Ten Thousand Soul Sail is refined, we can tell the Zi Qi Sect that we have switched to the Blood Soul Sect. With this treasure and the protection of the Blood Soul Sect, Zi Qi will surely Zong can’t do anything to us!”
"Yes!" Although the young man was still a little worried, after the old man's scolding just now, he swallowed everything he wanted to say.
"Don't worry too much. As long as you persist for a while, everything will be solved." Seeing the young man's appearance, the old man comforted him.
The young man nodded, then remembered something and asked, "We didn't turn in this year's offerings. I'm afraid the Purple Air Sect will send someone to investigate this time. What should we do then?"
Hearing this, the old man raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled coldly, "The souls in the Ten Thousand Soul Sails are all collected from mortals. We need a few monk souls who are stronger than mortals to suppress them. If they dare to come, then Don’t leave any of them.”
"Yes!" The young man's expression changed. Without saying anything more, he responded and immediately stood up and walked out.
When the old man saw the young man leaving, the stern expression on his face suddenly relaxed, and a look of sadness appeared. As the leader of the clan, how could he not understand what the young man said, but the descendants like them could not understand the words of the ancestor. In order to refine the Ten Thousand Soul Sail, their family drained the souls of mortals within a radius of dozens of miles. Even if it was not the charge of rebellion, the Huang family could not afford the charge of killing mortals privately.
Now that the deal is done, there is no way back for his family. They can only grit their teeth and move forward. What he can do is to eliminate those thoughts that shake people's hearts and let the people of the family work together to survive this disaster.
"Hey, ancestor, ancestor, why are you doing this?" The old man sighed helplessly, then closed his eyes and sat up in meditation.
Five days passed quietly in the blink of an eye. Ji Liao and his party walked and stopped all the way. At this time, they had almost reached the sphere of influence of the Huang Cultivation Family.
As a native of Xianbei, Ji Liao looked around and had a panoramic view of Shendong's customs and customs.
The life of the people of Shendong is quite similar to that of Xianbei, but it is not a huge country like Feng Yong Kingdom of Xianbei with a territory of more than 100,000 miles. On the contrary, the local separatism is divided into small countries. Along the way, in addition to the Daxuan Kingdom, there are also Except for relatively large countries, it would be good for other countries to have a territory of several thousand miles.
"What is Junior Brother Ji thinking about?" Wen Changming sat on the folding fan and said as he was fleeing.
"I was wondering why these countries are so small. I am from Xianbei and am in the territory of Fengyong Kingdom. The territory of Fengyong Kingdom is more than 100,000 miles wide. And along the way, we have passed through no less than a dozen countries, among which The smallest one I can't see is only more than a hundred miles away, and it's not even comparable to a city here." Ji Liao expressed his doubts.
"Hahaha, we in Shendong are not as comfortable as you in Xianbei. We people in Shendong attach great importance to region and race, and from time to time there will be wars between the two countries over the territory." Wen Changming laughed and said.
Ji Liao nodded, "That's it."
