Qiandao Lake.
At this time, not long after the third round of the preliminary round of the conference, the entire Qiandao Lake looked empty, which was very different from the previous lively scene.
"Is this the secret you mentioned?"
Poisonous Man Xiku took Jiang Yun and looked around, frowning and questioning.
"It's just under the lake." Dugu Bo, the sword idiot, pointed to the depths under the lake. "It's a coincidence. If the disciples of the Three Great War Colleges hadn't been suppressed at the bottom of the lake this time, I would have taken a look at it, but I really wouldn't have found anything there. Stuff.”
"What the hell?"
Xikku said curiously.
"I told you it's a gift for you. It can't be a sword." Jian Chi glanced at Jiang Yun, "Let's go into the water and have a look. Remember to protect him, don't let his breath show, and don't let him drown."
"I can avoid water spells." Jiang Yun shouted hurriedly.
"Your water-avoiding spell is of no use." Dugubo narrowed his eyes and said speechlessly, "As soon as you enter the water, people will notice the fluctuations. Boy, I will show you the world today."
An inexplicable aura emitted from Xie Ku's body, wrapping himself and Jiang Yun in it.
"Walk."
Dugubo gave an order, and the two of them took Jiang Yun and disappeared from the shore. When they reappeared, they were already in the lake.
Jiang Yun only felt that his surroundings were blurry, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. The two of them were moving too fast. If he didn't close his eyes, it would hurt his eyes.
Fortunately, the two slowed down after entering the sea.
But it was still extremely fast. It could be seen that the reason why the two of them slowed down was not because the water flow limited their speed. They were in the realm of space and underworld and would not be too disturbed by the environment. So they slowed down just because they were afraid of some living creatures in the deep water to avoid being discovered by the other party.
After about a while, Jiang Yun didn't know how far he had walked anyway. It was conservatively estimated that he must be in the deep water area.
I didn't expect the lake to be so deep. It felt more like an ocean.
The surroundings were pitch black, like a dead land. One dared not stare into the pitch black for too long, always feeling like a huge creature from the deep sea would come out and swallow them whole.
Finally, I guess I saw some light in the distance. In fact, the light is extremely dim, even if it is placed on the ground, it is as if there is no light. But here is the depths of the dead lake bottom, and the slightest light is particularly conspicuous.
Dugubo pointed to the distance, indicating that it was the faint light.
The two of them led Jiang Yun over quickly, and finally saw the source of the light clearly. They were sixteen statues that looked like deep-sea rocks. The statues in this circle were positioned like a formation. The strange thing is that they neither sink nor float, as if they are fixed at this height. Moreover, there is no water in the middle of the statues, but there is actually a layer of land inside! There is also a strange plant growing there in abundance.
And in the middle of the land were three figures imprisoned in iron prisons.
It's them? Jiang Yun discovered that these three people were genius disciples of the Sword Academy of the Three Great Wars, and the one in the middle was Mei Mingxu. It turns out that this is the place where the three people are imprisoned, so there must be other places where other disciples of the Three Great Wars are imprisoned.
Next to the three prisons, there was a strange creature, all black and like a hairtail fish about a hundred meters long. However, this hairtail is almost a thousand times larger than ordinary hairtail... Its body height alone is half as high as an iron cage, about two meters.
Xikku was visibly excited.
Jian Chi pointed at the hairtail creature proudly, Xie Ku nodded and handed Jiang Yun over. Jian Chi took Jiang Yun's hand consciously, leaving him speechless for a while. Why did he feel like a burden when he went sightseeing in the lake?
Then he no longer had the intention to think too much. Xu Ku first raised his hand to change his appearance, and then dashed in. The surrounding statues immediately activated formations to block them, and a light curtain visible to the naked eye blocked the three of them from outside. The thick and long hairtail fish opened its eyes and glared angrily, while its fangs flashed with a cold light in warning.
Chengku turned his head and glanced at Dugubo, signaling for him to take action.
Dugubo nodded, and stabbed out the two-fingered sword of his right hand. A very small hole appeared in the formation, and Chengkui immediately seized the opportunity and dodged in. The hairtail fish demon cultivator looked at him defensively, and then began to grow in size. When it became more than twice as big as before, it opened its mouth and sucked the three cages in.
"senior."
The treatment that was sucked into the cage actually spoke. Because the formation was neither a deep sea nor a vacuum area, the sound could actually be transmitted.
Jian Chi glanced at Jiang Yun, stretched out his hand to blow out a ball of air and landed on Jiang Yun's face. After using his other hand to disguise himself, he made sure that the two of them would not be recognized, and then he carried Jiang Yun in and ducked in.
"Both of you." Hairtail automatically ignored Jiang Yun, who was being carried in because of the frailty.
"The Three Great Wars have made an agreement with me, Prince Wenyou, for fifty years. Now that you are rashly barging in to save people, even if you can leave Thousand Island Lake, you will never leave the Southeast Region."
"Who said we are from the Third Great Academy?" Chengku said angrily. "Hurry up, donate a hundred drops of your own blood, and then give me some of the blood on your body and the venom in the poison sac. You'd better give me two more teeth, otherwise I'll take action."
"ah?"
Jiang Yun saw a look of surprise and disbelief on his face when he saw the demon cultivator for the first time, "You...are you here for me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Don't think that I can't see that you are stalling for time to wait for rescue." Chengku frowned and said, "As compensation, I can give you some blood essence and blood from the inland demon cultivators. These things can help you recover. It can also improve a certain level of strength.”
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of blood essence with a wave of his hand.
"This is the essence and blood I took out from Kun Ming Scorpion. Although it's a little different from what you have on your body, it's not much different. Hurry up, hurry up." Chengku urged impatiently, "You can do it within three breaths." If you don’t give it, I will take it myself. Once..."
"etc."
Hairtail still didn't react, looking at him blankly, and after thinking for a while, he immediately shouted, "You're rotten, damn, you robbed several of my senior brothers from their essence and blood fangs, damn, I actually met you Damn you."
Jiang Yun's eyes widened. This was the first time he had seen such a scene. A thick hairtail was as shocked as an old man.
It seemed that he had recognized Kuku.
"Ahem." Xikku said sheepishly, "They are all needed for research. Do you want to give them to me? 2..."
"Here, give it." The giant hairtail fish squeezed out blood and essence without saying a word, and even broke one of his teeth. "Senior brother said, don't resist when you meet me, otherwise you will be poisoned, and I can't beat you." Two, barter for goods is still acceptable.”
Xu Ku smiled, not feeling ashamed but feeling proud.
After putting away his things, he waved his hand and said, "I've been trying to find your tribe before, but I couldn't find them. I didn't expect that it would take so much effort to find them without finding anywhere."
"Fortunately, you are not prison robbers." The giant hairtail fish breathed a sigh of relief, "Otherwise, I would have to pretend to have a fight with you and surrender."
Jiang Yun's face was full of black lines. If this matter wasn't disgraceful, he really wanted to ask the third young master that your prince sent such a thing to guard the prison?
"You shouldn't. If someone from the realm of Kongming really wants to rob the prison, how can you, a late-stage infant spirit, handle it?" Xikku asked in confusion.
"It's impossible for someone to rob the prison." At this time, the hairtail fish demon cultivator relaxed a lot, but his words were a bit leaky because of the two missing teeth. "This matter has been publicized, why should anyone bother to save them? No one Come here and kill them for their own good."
"Um?"
Jian Chi and Cheng Ku didn't react, but Jiang Yun suddenly remembered that the third young master had secretly talked to him.
"As long as it is announced to the outside world, even if they secretly snatch it back, the three major war institutes will not dare to let these guys out openly. Of course, the most important thing is that if they dare to rob the prison, they can only use Kongmingdongxu period masters to take action, and Wenyou Palace cannot Without countermeasures, anyone who comes will definitely be left in the Southeast Region without being able to leave. Even if they kill the masters of the three great war institutes by then, Prince Wenyou's Palace will still be responsible."
"That's right." Hairtail looked at Jiang Yun in surprise, "So if the monks Kong Ming and above sent by the Three Great Wars Academy not only may not be able to rescue these disciples, but they may also be left in the southeast. There are only a few of them. It's impossible. He came here to do such stupid things. And if Kongmingdongxu’s master hadn’t come forward, it would have been impossible for Yinglingqi to rescue people from Qiandao Lake..."
"To be honest, it's a good thing that you two are not here to rob the prison, nor are you from the Third Academy. Otherwise, if you have to rob the prison now, I will treat you in a different way. I can't defeat you, but I can make you Leave at least one.”
Saying that, Hairtail spit out the three iron prisons again. When the three people inside saw people coming from outside, they all looked excitedly, thinking that it was the Three Great Theaters coming to save them. However, they found that they could not see the faces of the three people clearly, and they were still talking to Hairtail. After getting along well, he realized that he was not one of his own, and his disappointment resurfaced again.
Xikku glared at Hairtail, as if he wanted to provoke him.
"In fifty years, no matter how dazzling a talent is, it will all fade away." Jian Chi shook his head and said, "He's gone."
After that, he held him with one hand and dragged Jiang Yun away with the other hand.
Unexpectedly, he stopped just after taking two steps. Chengku stood with him, protecting Jiang Yun behind. Just because at the edge of the formation, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and soft armor walked over.
"Since you two are here, why are you leaving in such a hurry."
The middle-aged man smiled.
"We are not here to rob the prison, I just wanted to ask for something from Little Hairtail, and the two parties made a friendly deal." Chengkui squinted and looked at the other party very warily, "Please, Second Master, don't embarrass us."
"No need to embarrass you." The middle-aged man raised his finger and pointed at Jiang Yun and said, "This little brother and my son are friends. He saved my son's life. How can I embarrass you?"
Second Master?
Jiang Yun was stunned. Is this Jiang Chen's father? That second master Kong Mingqi of Prince Wenyou's Palace...Jiangshan Yun?
He didn't care if others ignored him or not, and hurriedly saluted in a friendly manner.
"Then my two brothers will thank the second master and leave." Chengku clasped his fists and wanted to leave, but the other party was obviously only one person, and they were both in the Kong Ming period, so the two of them were not afraid.
But what is this place?
Southeast region!
The base camp of Prince Wenyou’s Mansion!
If the iron barrels of this domain are put together, even if the two of them escape from Qiandao Lake, they will never escape from the Southeast Region, let alone go to the East China Sea. The relationship between the East China Sea Demon Cultivator and Prince Wenyou's Mansion is still worse than that of Fuling Menting. Much better.
"Don't worry, since you can make a deal, I, Prince Wenyou, also want to make a deal with you."
"We are just little shrimps. We are not worthy of doing business with the prince's palace. Second Master, are you kidding me?" Dugubo, the sword idiot, hugged his sword. What was very incongruous was that the sword had a faint look of disdain for him. He didn't want to Too close to his old face.
Jiang Shanyun said very kindly, "If Fuling Menting is not qualified, there are not many forces in the world who are qualified. There are no less than four masters of the Kongming Realm that I know of. Such a huge lineup no matter where it is placed Every country is a hegemon-level force that can control the turbulence of a region."
"Hehe, you are so flattering." Cheng Ku glanced at Jiang Yun, "At our level, we all know that we are just frogs in the well, how can we be considered a master."
"That's right, Second Master." Dugubo held his sword and said, "We are just part-time workers. If you want to cooperate, you have to come to us."
"Stop saying polite words. Listen to what I say first and help me convey it to the people behind you." When the second master said this, Jiang Yun suddenly couldn't hear any sound. He only saw three people chatting there. Never finished.
He looked at the three imprisoned guys boredly.
Except for Mei Mingxu, who was looking at him calmly with a look of death, the other two people were asking for help in every possible way, hoping that he could save them. However, in order to facilitate the chat between Erye and Xukujianchi, the hairtail demon cultivator arranged a light curtain around the area to isolate the sound. The voices of Mu Ziyi and Ou Maoyan could not be heard.
After a while, the voices of the three of them returned.
"In that case, we will definitely convey it on your behalf." Xikku said, cupping his fists.
