However, this made the few Jindan cultivators who only received this little news even more confused, although they were not old monsters who had lived for more than thousands of years.
However, the classics handed down by the clan are well known to everyone, and there is not such a large number of clan members going out to expand.
In fact, they also knew that their tribe once came from the Lost Continent, and they were also aware that in order for the tribe to build a building here, some of their ancestors stayed in the Lost Continent to participate in the war.
But they would never associate Meng Zhiyuan and his group with that incident. It was a very old thing.
The strongest among Meng Zhiyuan's group has only reached the third level, and there are even many little monsters whose spiritual awareness has not yet been awakened. They can be seen at a glance as tribesmen within 500 years.
It was this group of outsiders who actually got a very good territory for cultivation.
Many factions in the clan had fought for that place for a long time, but the ancestor never asked for it, so no one got it, and finally it was just left there.
Now it was suddenly taken away by Meng Zhiyuan and others, which made many people extremely unhappy.
So at the welcoming banquet held by the clan leader a few days ago, many people in the clan took the opportunity to challenge Meng Zhiyuan and his group.
At first, Meng Zhiyuan and the others just sat there quietly and did not engage in battle.
But amidst the constant ridicule from all around, and with the clan leader only giving a few symbolic scoldings, Meng Zhiyuan and his men finally took action.
Just this one move shocked the group of "Dark Spirit Bats" on Qingqing Continent beyond words.
The opponent accepted the challenge from level one to level three, and in the end, no matter which level he was at, he beat all the people in the clan to a pulp. From beginning to end, Meng Zhiyuan and the other two did not take any action.
Although the third-level "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that was besieging Li Yan challenged Meng Zhiyuan, it was accepted by Meng Zhiyuan's junior brother.
The two sides fought for only a hundred moves, and the monster was beaten back step by step. It smashed countless mountains along the way, and its body was damaged...
After that battle, everyone in the clan called Meng Zhiyuan and his gang "foreign criminals", which made many people unwilling to mention Meng Zhiyuan and his gang again.
"Oh? So you're looking for Meng Zhiyuan. Where are you from?"
The third-level "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" stopped attacking this time. His figure blurred and turned into a big man in a black robe. He looked at Li Yan at the same time.
His mind raced. As long as Li Yan could answer this question, he would be able to guess some of Meng Zhiyuan's origins.
“It’s just a small sect. I just met Fellow Daoist Meng and have some connections with him.
He once said that if I came back to my tribe and asked him to come and look for me, I only needed to tell him that Zhang Ming was visiting, and he would know! "
It was even more impossible for Li Yan to reveal his identity. He bowed to the big man in black robe.
The big man in black robe was very dissatisfied with this answer, but when he thought of the fight a few days ago, he didn't want to offend Meng Zhiyuan and the others again.
In the world of immortal cultivation, only those with big fists can gain the respect of others.
Meng Zhiyuan's gang were surprisingly taciturn, like mutes, but once they started fighting, they were really ferocious.
So, he turned around and shouted at a second-level "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that had not taken action before.
"Wherever you are going, take this fellow Taoist's words over there and see how they respond!!"
The second-level "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" trembled, and an extremely unwilling expression appeared in its eyes.
And a look of gloating flashed across the eyes of several other second-level "Dark Spirit Bats" around them.
"Go now!"
Seeing that the second-level "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" was a little hesitant, the black-robed man's face suddenly darkened.
After the second-level "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" flew away, the black-robed man still did not let Li Yan walk out of the encirclement, but started talking to Li Yan in a casual manner.
However, they were basically just trying to get information from Li Yan. But what made the black-robed man depressed was that Li Yan's answers were completely secretive, so he couldn't get any information he wanted.
Time passed quickly, and about a cup of tea later, two sounds of breaking through the air came from the thick fog, and the other party did not conceal any breath.
In the thick fog, two "Dark Spirit Bats" broke through the fog and quickly came in front of Li Yan.
The "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" in the front was as huge as the black-robed man just now. Li Yan guessed that the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" behind it should be the second-level "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" that he had just communicated with.
These "Dark Spirit Bats" basically look the same, and it is almost impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye, and they can only be distinguished by the aura they exude.
When the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" in front arrived in front of Li Yan, its body blurred in the air and transformed into a young man in red tights.
As soon as the young man in red saw Li Yan, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally solemn face.
"As expected, it's Fellow Daoist Zhang who's here. Hey, where's Fellow Daoist Zhao?"
"She had other things to do, so she didn't come!"
Li Yan just felt the aura from the other person. It was not the Meng Zhiyuan he wanted to see, but he still felt familiar.
When the other party's silhouette appeared, he recognized him at a glance. It was Meng Zhiyuan's youngest junior brother.
Li Yan had hardly ever talked to Meng Zhiyuan and his fellow junior brothers and sisters, so he couldn't tell who the other person was just now.
Li Yan still had a smile on his face. Although Meng Zhiyuan did not come in person, seeing this man's attitude towards him made Li Yan feel a little relieved.
He is a family man who knows his own business. The so-called super sect behind him is only in the fairy world, but in the lower world it is just a big banner and a tiger skin. If others really ignore him, he really has no way out.
"Oh, it's you. Where's your senior brother?"
Li Yan asked straight to the point.
"Oh, you two do know each other. In that case, we have other things to do, so we'll take our leave now!"
When the black-robed man saw that the two knew each other, he immediately bowed to Li Yan and his body transformed into a giant "Dark Spirit Bat" again, flapping its wings up and down as it hovered.
Junior Brother Meng Zhiyuan forced a smile on his face, signaling to the other party, Li Yan, that nothing was wrong and that he could take care of the rest.
He didn't like these people from his own tribe very much for the time being. Not only did they talk too much, but they also showed their ability to mock him and others a few days ago. It was not until he taught them a lesson that these people became more polite in their words. They were really very tight-skinned.
However, the eldest brother also sent a message to them, asking them not to be too hostile to the tribesmen here. There are many things that are beyond their knowledge, and they would of course be hostile to the "tribemen" who suddenly appeared.
Considering this, many of these people may be our own blood descendants, so we can just treat them as our juniors.
After the big man in black robe left, before Li Yan could ask, Junior Brother Meng Zhiyuan had a smile on his face again that came from the heart.
"My benefactor, you came here so soon. The eldest, second and third brothers are in seclusion.
But the eldest senior brother had told me before he went into seclusion that if the two benefactors came, I should make sure to explain the situation clearly, and he did not intend to avoid meeting them.
He also said that if there is anything wrong with you, just let us know, and we will never forget our promise.
Benefactor, please follow me in first, we can discuss some things when we get home!"
Li Yan noticed that when Junior Brother Meng Zhiyuan mentioned the word "home", a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes. Perhaps he just thought of his deceased relatives and the dark seabed.
As he spoke, the young man in red slightly turned sideways and immediately led the way forward. Li Yan followed without hesitation.
After they flew in the thick fog for about half a cup of tea, they entered a cave. Before Li Yan got close to the cave, he felt several spiritual senses sweeping out from the cave.
"Although this 'Dark Spirit Demon Bat' clan has only one Nascent Soul cultivator, there are quite a few Golden Core-level warriors."
After discovering that it was Junior Brother Meng Zhiyuan in front of them, these spiritual consciousnesses immediately retreated like the tide. No one shouted at him, and no one greeted him.
The cave was very dark and damp. Li Yan and his companions flew a long distance in the winding path.
The cave in front of Li Yan began to become wider and wider, and there were more and more forks in the surrounding corridors, giving people a feeling of being connected in all directions.
Li Yan seemed to have returned to the forbidden area in the deep sea of the lost continent. There were many corridors there, like a maze.
Junior Brother Meng Zhiyuan led Li Yan through the corridors in front. When he met other "Dark Spirit Bats" on the way, he did not say hello to them.
However, those "Dark Spirit Bats" stared at Li Yan with suspicion.
Finally, they landed in a cave that was a thousand feet in size. This cave was more like a spacious hall.
As soon as Li Yan arrived here, seven or eight "Dark Spirit Bats" who were very close to Li Yan in the hall looked over. Li Yan immediately heard squeaking sounds and some uncertain and doubtful voices.
"Is that the benefactor who saved us?"
"It's him, it's really him..."
"Greetings, benefactor!"
"We have met the benefactor..."
After being stunned for a moment, those "Dark Spirit Demon Bats" quickly flew over, and some of them could already speak human language.
In addition, the one making the squeaking sound was obviously just a first-level monster, which was truly unable to transform.
Li Yan looked at the "Dark Spirit Bats" flying towards him, feeling helpless.
Apart from the slightly different auras on these monsters, he was not sure whether they were the "Dark Spirit Bats" that he had brought with him.
"Okay, my benefactor and I still have something to discuss, so you can all go your separate ways!"
Junior Brother Meng Zhiyuan transformed himself into a young man in red clothes and waved at them.
Then he walked straight to a corner of the hall. Li Yan smiled and nodded at the few "Dark Spirit Bats" that were still flapping their wings, and then quickly followed.
Inside a stone chamber, there is a lobby, a practice room, and an alchemy and refining room.
In the hall, the young man in red tights asked Li Yan to sit in the seat of honor. Li Yan did not hesitate and sat down at the seat of honor. Then the young man in red tights also sat down.
"The spiritual energy here is quite good. It seems that you have been recognized by the tribesmen here!!"
Li Yan said in a low voice.
"This is a gift from our ancestors, as a kind of compensation to us!"
"Have you found out why you were abandoned?"
“The ancestor is still investigating, but according to the jade slips left by the clan, we have obtained some information about the reasons why they were abandoned in the first place.
After the war between the two worlds ended, it was a time of reconstruction and all races were busy grabbing resources to strengthen themselves.
The same is true for the Dark Spirit Demon Bat Clan. In addition, our affairs involve cross-border issues, which are not something that ordinary cultivators can handle and know.
The elders of the clan all believed that the strong men of Qingqing Continent would certainly think about this matter, so they did not pay close attention to it at first.
But after all the problems in the clan were settled, they still did not wait for the return of their fellow clansmen who stayed behind in the Lost Continent.
So the elders of the tribe became anxious and went to find the powerful god-transforming master who had brought them here. The god-transforming master himself was very surprised and he was not aware of the matter.
But he later helped to inquire about it and got the news that it was "Venerable Duanmu" and another Divine Transformation cultivator who were leading us to carry out a very secret mission.
But after the war, these two people did not come back, and some people said that they died.
Some people also said that only one of them died, and the other was seriously injured and was taken to the fairyland by other powerful people, probably to find a way to recover.
Finally they found the strong man who was in charge of distributing the tasks, and that person said that we should be in a place called 'Demon Devouring Abyss'.
So, at the request of our clan elders, the incarnation monk who brought our clan here went across the border to search for him.
However, he searched in the 'Demon Swallowing Abyss' for seven or eight days and still could not find the location of the 'Chencang Road'.
For this, he even alarmed a powerful monster under the 'Demon Devouring Abyss'. After a fierce battle, he could only return alone! "
