Ji Ning's eyebrows also turned white.
In the early morning moon dew, two bits of frost condensed between the young man's brows.
He opened his eyes, dismissed it casually, stood up casually on the green grass in the mountains, looked at the lonely sun in the sky, smiled and said:
"I can feel it getting closer."
"The best thing you can say is Longtan Peak."
Qi Lan emerged from a haystack and said sleepily.
Several days have passed since they walked out of the underground palace. As expected, no one survived the disaster. The underground palace collapsed, and together with the ancient puppets and thaumaturgy techniques from unknown years ago, there were also people who entered the underground palace. The people inside were permanently suppressed underground by the hard rock formations.
There are so many people missing, and many of them have status, such as those disciples of the East China Sea Sword Sect, or some large adventure groups with the endorsement of the imperial court.
These people lost contact with the outside world at the same time, causing quite a stir.
Normally, people from Xuntian Mansion and various major sects would have dug deep into the ground to investigate. In that case, Ji Ning and others might still be found. After all, Taoism in this world is too strange.
If those great practitioners sitting high in the clouds are determined to know the truth here.
So even if everyone else is dead and Ji Ning and others have hidden their footprints, there is still a possibility of being found.
But thankfully none of this happened.
"I can feel that it is getting hotter and hotter. There seems to be an ancient breath in it that will spurt out at any time."
As Ji Ning walked, he couldn't help but take the strange-shaped bone order in his hand and play with it.
The reason why there are no great practitioners investigating the underground palace is because everyone in the current practice world has been distracted by the inheritance of the Great Sword Immortal from Longtan Peak.
Logically speaking, that aloof mountain should have been opened, and the time has come, but the seal on it has not been unlocked for a long time. This may be related to the reason why he did not arrive at the last bone order.
At this time, after a few days of rest and a few days of traveling, Ji Ning discovered that every time he got closer and closer to Longtan Peak.
Not far away in the sky, there will be a thunderous roar, as if a huge mountain reaching the sky is about to crack.
And the bone order in his hand will become hotter and hotter, until now he can hardly hold it.
So without anyone's explanation, Ji Ning could understand that when he actually arrived at Longtan Peak, which was when the mountain opened, a bloody storm would be inevitable.
Young monks like them don't have the qualifications to get close to each other, let alone compete for opportunities head-on.
As a result, Ji Ning deliberately slowed down his pace.
At this moment, they were on a deserted mountain road thirteen miles away from Longtan Peak.
"Have your injuries been healed?"
"Almost." Qi Lan twisted his neck and smiled.
If they go all out, they may be able to reach Longtan Peak on the second day after leaving the underground palace, but if they go injured like that, it will only make their already slim hope even slimmer.
But now, he and Ji Ning were taking a leisurely stroll, sleeping while walking, and their energy and energy had reached their peak.
It is definitely in better condition than those who stay around Longtan Peak and dare not close their eyes day and night for fear of missing the opportunity.
"Don't waste time, hurry up."
Ji Ning turned around and said something.
Qi Lan nodded, and then quickly followed. The two of them were silent all the way, and soon arrived at the boundary five miles away from Longtan Peak.
From here, looking up, you can clearly see the dragon head stone interspersed in the clouds. The translucent clouds and mist surround it, adding a sense of mystery to it.
Suddenly, Qi Lan stopped and called to Ji Ning in front of him with alert eyes:
"etc!"
"What's wrong?"
"There is a spiritual energy fluctuation ahead, and it's very chaotic!"
Ji Ning was stunned for a moment. Qi Lan was at a higher level than him and had a greater amount of spiritual energy stored, so the range he could sense was naturally larger than him.
After being reminded by Qi Lan, Ji Ning also calmed down, put his ears to the ground with a solemn expression, and listened carefully, and he heard a bunch of chaotic sounds.
The intersection of weapons is accompanied by the faint roar of beasts, which can be heard from all directions.
“There are too many people and it’s too complicated to get around!”
Ji Ning's expression was solemn. They were careful along the way, hiding away from people they encountered from a distance, and were never discovered by anyone.
Because their strength is too weak, although they have not witnessed the huge crowds of people outside Longtan Peak, as long as they have normal minds, they should know that there must be crouching tigers and hidden dragons nearby, and they can crush a group of people to death if they meet them.
But now, Ji Ning and Qi Lan unknowingly walked into a circle surrounded by a large group of people.
It may be difficult to go out without anyone noticing.
"Why don't you hide here for the night and go back tomorrow?"
Qi Lan frowned and asked Ji Ning.
It doesn't matter if they can't get out, the two of them can hide their presence in the haystack.
Ji Ning shook his head:
"It's too late. As time goes by, I can no longer suppress the ancient energy in this bone order. If it passes tonight, no matter where we are, it will probably be born automatically. By then, the ban on Longtan Peak will Now that the inheritance has been launched, where can the two of us fight?"
Ji Ning said, holding the strange-shaped bone token in his hand, staring at it for a long time, then took a deep breath, stared at Qi Lan and said:
"No matter what, we must get to Longtan Peak before tonight, otherwise we will go back home. This opportunity has nothing to do with us."
"How can that be done!"
Qi Lan suddenly became anxious when he heard this. His purpose in coming to Xiushan in the first place was to inherit the inheritance of the Great Sword Immortal of the Sword Pavilion, and now he has met Ji Ning, who has the Bone Order.
It can be said that with his strength, there was no chance at all, but the appearance of Ji Ning made that opportunity come out of nowhere.
The presence of Shanhe Sheji Tu also made him more confident, so no matter what, they could not return the same way.
"Then let's go. If you really can't escape, then let's talk again."
Ji Ning said and quietly put on a black hat.
The young man under the veil had stern eyes and disappeared into the trees alone. Qi Lan did the same, following closely behind Ji Ning.
At this time, the chaotic fighting sound in front came to an end as a vulture demon flew up into the air and fled.
The rest of the vulture demons were scattered throughout the woods and were killed by many human monks.
In this way, a small beast tide was over.
"Huh? Someone!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
While the man with the goatee who was leading the group was resting, he suddenly heard the sound of two undisguised footsteps, so he quickly called out a warning.
So in an instant, more than thirty monks came from all directions. Some of them were seriously injured, some were dying, and some were at their peak. The spiritual energy in their bodies was surging, and their faces were stained with the blood of demons. They were obviously not yet alive. Fight a great battle.
"Who is your Excellency? You have been peeping here for a long time. Could it be that you want to be that oriole!"
The leader of the goatee man snorted and stared at the trees in front of him.
Ji Ning and Qi Lan walked out calmly.
After the two of them looked around the court, they looked at each other, then Ji Ning cupped his fists and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. I am originally from Xiliang. I came all the way here today for the opportunity of reaching the sky at Longtan Peak."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, the man with the goatee looked at Ji Ning and Qi Lan up and down, and found that although their auras were concealed by martial arts, they didn't look like masters, and their realms were no more than three realms at most. .
Then, he smiled contemptuously:
"After all, you are a young man who came here for the opportunity to reach the sky at Longtan Peak. How dare you say that."
"You have to know that the area around Longtan Peak has been occupied by powerful figures from all major counties. If you weren't led by a figure above the Heavenly Realm, you wouldn't be able to enter even one mile around Longtan Peak. What are you talking about? Fight for the treasure!"
The man with the goatee snorted coldly and looked a little ugly.
He is also a well-known figure in the world, and his cultivation in the Three Realms dominates the adventure group. Today, he originally thought of competing with his brothers at Longtan Peak to see if he could make some money, but in the end, even that Even the corners of Longtan Peak are inaccessible.
"Oh? So many people are here."
Ji Ning felt a little solemn after hearing this. If this was the case, it would be really difficult for him and Qi Lan to get close to Longtan Peak. After all, they couldn't get through it with their strength.
However, he still did not show any timidity on the surface. He even held up his hands and said with a smile:
"This Taoist brother is joking. Longtan Peak has the opportunity to be born, and heroes from all over the world gather together. Who doesn't want to see such a grand occasion? Although we are of low status, we also have dreams and do not feel that we are inferior to others."
"Opportunity is so elusive. Who can predict that the final winner will not be us?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately started laughing.
"You little kid, you really don't know the heights of the world!"
The man with the goatee looked at Ji Ning Le, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, but he covered it up well.
He is not stupid. Ji Ning and Qi Lan are obviously of low status, but they dare to come all the way here to compete for opportunities. They must have some ability or some opportunity.
And since they can't enter Longtan Peak, they might as well take this opportunity to make some windfall.
After all, this isn't the first time they've done something like this.
"But I, Mr. Xu, just like you, a brave young man who knows nothing about the world. But since you can have such courage, then Mr. Xu can't lose his courage."
The man with the goatee looked at Ji Ning, wiped the blood from his hands, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Well, on this trip, why don't you two join our adventure group so that we can take care of each other, so let's go together."
When Ji Ning heard this, his smile remained unchanged and he said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist, don't you plan to go? Why are you regretting it now?"
Goatee waved his hand and laughed:
"I've already said it, of course I was inspired by your courage. I think I was also a well-known figure in Bei County back then. Now that I have great opportunities ahead of me, how could I show my timidity just because of such a trivial matter?"
"That's it, it's settled, you two come here quickly, let's go to Longtan Peak together!"
The goatee man said with a smile, putting his hands behind his back and assuming a posture ready to attack.
He's not stupid.
The members of my team had just gone through a big battle and had not yet cultivated themselves well. If they were attacked rashly and Ji Ning and his two men escaped, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
In this way, Yin Jun enters the urn, which is the right way.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ning actually smiled at him after a brief silence:
"Sir, do you think I'm stupid?"
