"Fellow Taoists, please don't be harsh on Shi Ming. After asking him to hand over the Dongtian inheritance, let him continue to refine elixirs for us!" Zuo Ancestor said in a deep voice.
With so many Yuan Ying ancestors here, they were not worried that Li Shiming would escape after finding the cave where Li Shiming was hiding.
If Li Shiming could really escape under the noses of a group of Yuanying ancestors, then their lives would have been in vain.
Especially with Venerable Huike here, with Venerable Huike's speed, he can definitely get close to Li Shiming at a certain distance in the first time. The Yuan Ying stage pressure alone is enough to make Li Shiming unable to resist.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, do you really think Li Shiming doesn't know what the Shushan Sect is doing?" Patriarch Lu looked at Patriarch Zuo and asked.
The one who paid the biggest price for Li Shiming here, apart from the Shushan Sect, was the Senluo Sect. The Senluo Sect forced away a golden elixir genius, and also forced him away by creating a big feud.
Every time he thinks of Li Yuanba's revenge methods, even Patriarch Lu feels numb.
The fate of Patriarch Li's cave and mountain peaks was known to all the major sects in the Northern Shu continent, which made Patriarch Li ashamed to appear outside.
This matter has also become a topic of discussion among the major forces, and every monk is frightened by Li Yuanba's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
He couldn't take revenge on the ancestor of Yuanying, but he destroyed the cave and the mountain of the ancestor of Yuanying. It can be said that the face of ancestor Li was swollen.
Ancestor Lu has been in a bad mood recently, and his speech lacks some of his usual calmness.
But he was right. In order to trace Li Shiming's traces, the Shushan Sect not only explored the Northern Shu continent, but also sent monks to Tianhai Island.
In particular, this kind of investigation was conducted in cooperation with Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect, and did not take into account Li Shiming's original contribution to Shushan Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, our Shushan Sect cannot do anything to force our own disciples to rebel!" Zuo Laozu was also in a bad mood and choked out.
The two Nascent Soul Ancestors looked at each other like a pair of cocks preparing to fight.
"You two, catch Li Shiming first and then talk about other things!" Patriarch Zhan said, stopping the confrontation between the two Yuan Ying ancestors.
"Yes, do things first!" Venerable Huike also advised.
Under the persuasion of all the Nascent Soul Ancestors, Zuo Laozu and Lu Laozu stopped confronting each other, and the six Nascent Soul Ancestors dived towards the bottom of the sea.
"The formation is a bit weak!" Venerable Huike said after realizing something.
As he spoke, he displayed the "So Close to the End of the World" and his figure disappeared into the sea. The rest of the Yuan Ying Ancestors were afraid of being slowed down, but Venerable Huike got the better of them first, so they all sped up.
When they came to the outside of the underwater cave, the formation of the cave was opened from the inside.
When they saw the situation inside the cave, the five Nascent Soul Ancestors who came in from the outside understood that Venerable Huike had gained nothing at all, because the cave had obviously been cleaned up.
According to the traces in the cave, it was uninhabited for at least ten days.
They saw the formation disk on the ground of the cave and the contact cards on the formation disk, and couldn't help but shook their heads.
"What is the message Li Shiming sent to Yin Shilan?" Zuo Laozu asked Zhan Laozu.
"I'm waiting for him to come back!" Old Ancestor Zhan replied with a slight blush on his face.
Inquiring into the private information of sect disciples is not an aboveboard behavior.
The Qianhuan Sect claims to be the right way and does not behave as carelessly as the Demon Sect. At least Patriarch Zhan still knows how to blush.
"Did Li Shiming leave the Northern Shu Continent?" Ancestor Lan asked with slight hesitation.
She had a reason for asking this. Based on the judgment of all the Yuanying ancestors of the six major sects, Tianwen Sect and Tianxing Trading Company, Li Shiming would only hide in Beishu Continent no matter what.
This is because if you want to leave the Beishu continent, you need Nascent Soul stage strength and a safe route.
Whether it is the Nascent Soul stage strength or a safe route, it is impossible for Li Shiming to obtain it.
Obviously, although Li Shiming obtained the Dongtian inheritance, he did not get much benefit from the Dongtian inheritance. Most of the Yuanying ancestors here have entered the Dongtian, and they understand that such an intense test in the Dongtian is definitely not prepared for Jindan monks. .
Although I don’t know what method Li Shiming used to pass the test of Dongtian, but with Li Shiming’s level, he cannot truly obtain the inheritance of Dongtian before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
Without the Dongtian inheritance, Li Shiming would not be able to quickly improve his strength.
Even if Li Shiming raised his realm to the Nascent Soul stage, it would be in vain without a safe route.
Why do the ancestors of the Nascent Soul from the six major sects in the Northern Shu Continent rarely leave the Northern Shu Continent? That is because there is no safe route.
Even if there are Nascent Soul Ancestors who have safely reached other continents in history, they have not been able to pass down the routes due to various reasons.
The route is not so easy to inherit. It cannot be just a Nascent Soul Ancestor accidentally crossing the ocean. It also requires long-term investment. Nascent Soul Ancestors are constantly inspecting and modifying the route.
Ancestor Lan knew this and was suspicious. According to Li Shiming's message, Li Shiming left the Beishu continent.
"We can't judge Li Shiming by the ability of a normal Jindan monk. He has passed the test of the cave!" Ancestor Lou said lightly.
The other Yuan Ying ancestors also realized, yes, how difficult the cave test was, even the Jin Kai ancestors in the middle Nascent Soul stage were injured.
"Hey, a monk is coming!" Patriarch Lu suddenly reminded.
They looked at each other and immediately formed a battle formation with Venerable Huike as the core.
Venerable Huike used "So Close to the End of the World", and they instantly arrived on the sea.
At this time, the monks from afar also came closer, namely Patriarch Jin Kai and Patriarch Ren Xun of Tianxing Trading Company, and Patriarch Luo Wei and Patriarch Han Xiao of Tianwen Sect.
It can be said that both the Nascent Soul Ancestors of Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect are here, and judging from the attitudes of the four Nascent Soul ancestors of Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect, it seems that these two companies have some private cooperative relations.
"Where is Li Shiming?" Ancestor Luo Wei glanced at the six Nascent Soul Ancestors who formed the battle formation, and asked without caring.
If the six Nascent Soul ancestors really found Li Shiming, then even if the six Nascent Soul ancestors resisted, he would still be sure to get them to hand over Li Shiming.
Because he reached a cooperation agreement with Ancestor Jin Kai to first control the Dongtian inheritance in the hands of their two forces, and then use other methods to determine the distribution rights.
This is to exclude the Beishu continent. Who said that the strength of the Beishu continent is a bit weak.
The biggest role of the Beishu Continent is to find Li Shiming. After Li Shiming is found, the role of the Beishu Continent is gone.
"You will understand if you go down and see for yourself!" Patriarch Lu did not want to conflict with them, so he pointed under the sea and said.
He also knew in his heart that these two forces must have planted a lot of informants all over the Beishu continent, and even the Beishu Trading Company was bribed. Otherwise, how could they have caught up here so quickly.
As soon as they got the information from Ancestor Zhan, they gathered together immediately. Although it took some time for the six Yuan Ying Ancestors to gather together, Venerable Huike saved a lot of time with his next "so close to the end of the world".
Based on this analysis, it is most likely that the news was leaked from Beishu Trading Company.
He thought about talking to Beishu Trading Company after he returned.
Patriarch Luo Wei heard the meaning of Patriarch Lu's words, and his figure flashed into the sea. It didn't take long for him to return to the sea.
"Li Shiming left this cave ten days ago!" Patriarch Luo Wei said to Patriarch Jin Kai with great certainty.
It is impossible to fake these traces, especially the formation plate on the ground and the contact card, which all show that Li Shiming acted carefully.
They were not given any chance, and even the message was sent after setting the time on the array disk.
"What was the last message Li Shiming delivered?" Ancestor Jin Kai looked at Ancestor Lu and asked.
"Wait for him to come back!" Patriarch Lu replied without any concealment.
"Leaved? That's not right. His strength has just broken through to the late Golden Core stage. Even if he really wants to leave, he will at least wait until his strength is beyond the limit before leaving?" Patriarch Luo Wei shook his head and said.
Based on the current intelligence analysis, Li Shiming should have a lot of late-stage third-grade elixirs in his hands.
They analyzed that Li Shiming should retreat somewhere, at least until all the late-stage third-grade golden elixirs in his hands were consumed before taking the next step.
They also counted the number of third-grade elixirs produced by Li Shiming in the later stages of refining the golden elixir, and concluded that Li Shiming would consume all the third-grade elixirs in five to eight years at most.
It is based on this analysis that the two middle-stage Nascent Soul monks from Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect will stay in Beishu Continent and wait.
In fact, they didn't know that their calculations were wrong and they underestimated Li Shiming's alchemy strength.
The number of third-grade golden elixirs they calculated was too low. The late-stage third-grade golden elixirs in Li Shiming's hands, even the public alchemy part, were three times more than they estimated.
Not to mention Li Shiming also has the 'Shanhe Qiankun Fan', which produces a large amount of the third-grade elixir every year. Neither he nor his clone Li Yuanba can consume this production.
The expression on the face of Patriarch Jin Kai changed slightly, and the eyes of Patriarch Ren Xun next to him flickered.
They naturally thought of the thirty-six drops of 'Tongxuankun's Immortal Dew'. Judging by the time, the time when Li Shiming left was roughly the same as the time it took to consume the thirty-six drops of 'Tongxuankun's Immortal Dew'.
In other words, Li Shiming decided to leave after digesting thirty-six drops of 'Tong Xuan Kun's Immortal Dew' and reaching a bottleneck in strength.
The two of them had no intention of telling this. It was too embarrassing. They paid a huge price but got nothing.
They couldn't blame Li Shiming. It was Patriarch Luo Wei who forced his way into the Shushan Sect's gate, allowing Li Shiming to escape and hide.
Li Shiming took away ten of their fourth-grade elixirs and the thirty-six drops of 'Tong Xuan Kun's Immortal Dew' they had paid in advance.
"Could it be a suspicion that Li Shiming had laid out? Maybe he is still somewhere on the mainland?" Ancestor Ren Xun brought the topic back to Li Shiming's whereabouts.
"So what, he is so cunning, it is not easy to find him!" Ancestor Han Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, we here in Bei Shu Continent are asking for your help in searching for them!" Ancestor Luo Wei said with a smile to the six Nascent Soul Ancestors in Bei Shu Continent.
He seemed to have forgotten the persecution just now, but the six Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Northern Shu Continent did not dare to have any objections, at least they could not resist until the alliance between Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect was divided.
"There is no problem, the intensity of the previous exploration will not weaken!" Ancestor Lu assured in a deep voice.
"Then let's say goodbye!" Ancestor Luo Wei nodded and said.
He took Ancestor Han Xiao and flew in the direction he came from. Ancestor Jin Kai also left with Ancestor Ren Xun, leaving only six Nascent Soul Ancestors.
"Did we do something wrong?" Venerable Huike asked softly.
The other Yuan Ying ancestors knew what he meant, and for the sake of a cave-heaven inheritance, they forced Li Shiming, their own top alchemy master, to dare not show his face.
But they did not get the benefits they deserved. With the combination of Tianxing Trading Company and Tianwen Sect, they became the weakest party.
At this time, they discovered that even if they obtained the Dongtian inheritance, they could not keep the Dongtian inheritance.
"It's too late to tell the truth now!" Zuo Laozu said with a helpless smile.
"It's too late!" Old Ancestor Lu shook his head and said.
Ancestor Zuo did it for Li Shiming, and Ancestor Lu did it for Li Yuanba.
The biggest headache for Patriarch Lu is Li Yuanba’s master, Patriarch Jian. If Patriarch Jian knew how Senluo Sect treated Li Yuanba, it would be difficult even for him as a master.
Ancestor Lu knows the origin of Ancestor Jian, and with the kind of person he is, if he can really return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, he will most likely let Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion protect Senluo Sect.
But if Patriarch Jian knew what happened to Li Yuanba, let alone protecting him, he would most likely let the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion destroy the Senluo Sect, leaving a way for Patriarch Lu to survive at most.
"Uncle Master, there is something I didn't report to you!" Ancestor Han Xiao said to Ancestor Luo Wei.
Ancestor Luo Wei, who was flying, looked at Ancestor Han Xiao in confusion, wondering what he wanted to say.
"When the Sword Ancestor of the Senluo Sect left, the formation we set up on the route sent back information that he left along our route!" Ancestor Han Xiao said in a deep voice.
It was impossible to deploy all the formations on the route, that is to say, after they arrived in Beishu Continent, some exploration formations were deployed at the end of the route.
These exploration formations are normal safety behaviors to prevent being ambushed by other forces laying traps midway.
You must know that at the end of the route, they are very likely to be discovered by the mainland's large formation. If the mainland is capable, they can set up a trap there and ambush them when they leave.
Of course, this kind of move is almost useless for the Northern Shu continent, because the strength of the Northern Shu continent is completely unable to ambush.
But things like safety have become a habit for Tianwen Sect.
"How did he know our route? By the way, his disciple Li Yuanba and Li Shiming are good friends. Do you mean that Li Shiming might have also left the Beishu continent through the route?" The more Ancestor Luo Wei thought about it, the more likely it became.
Originally, it might be a coincidence that the direction in which Patriarch Jian left Beishu Continent was similar to the route of Tianwen Sect, but combined with Li Shiming's departure, it was inevitable that Patriarch Han Xiao would have some guesses.
