After hearing this, Li Yan secretly glanced at Meng Shangmo again. Seeing that the other party looked normal and did not seem to have any concerns like the ancestor of the Giant Wood Clan, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Senior, this is what happened. Senior Shuang was once a cultivator of the Tianling Clan. At the time, she was..."
Li Yan began to tell some things about Shuang Qingqing. Of course, all he could say was what Shuang Qingqing allowed him to say.
At the same time, he also told them about inviting two Nascent Soul masters, Chongfeng and Shuiyue.
The old man in gray robe just listened quietly without interrupting, until Li Yan finished speaking, he smiled slightly.
"Friend Shuang's experience is truly amazing, let's not discuss the right and wrong of her affairs.
As far as the current incident is concerned, with the presence of fellow Taoists 'Chongfeng' and 'Shuiyue', Shuang Fengyan will definitely not take action immediately. Cai Xiu can be sure of this.
Those seven tribes were native tribes of Qingqing Continent. On the surface, they were just an alliance of seven tribes, but in fact, they had numerous connections with other vassal races of the former Peacock King tribe.
The Tianling Clan really didn't dare to attack them easily. If they didn't even give them this little face, they might then attract attacks from many races in the Quelingta region.
Let’s put it this way. I have some friendship with Shuang Fengyan. I will find him in advance and explain some things to him. As long as nothing happens to Fellow Daoist Shuang’s disciple now, then nothing will happen to him later.
Please record her appearance and some of her characteristics on a jade slip for me later, and you don't have to worry about the rest.
However, I will not bring her out for the time being. Didn't that fellow Daoist Shuang want to explain the situation in person? Then we should not alert the enemy and should not let Bai Yihe know.
As for what happens next, given that there are too many grievances within their clan, it is best for Fellow Daoist Shuang to handle it personally!"
The grey-robed old man said to Li Yan, and Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard it. With his intelligence, how could he not hear that this great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage was willing to make the trip in person.
And it seemed like he would be able to protect Bai Rou very quickly. Even though the other party knew that Shuang Fengyan would need some time to return to the clan, he still said that he would guarantee Bai Rou's safety.
This means that even if Shuang Fengyan has not returned to the clan yet, this great monk will always protect her in secret. With him secretly watching over Bai Yihe, Bai Rou's life will be safe.
Shuang Qingqing's attack power is only comparable to that of some great monks, and he has a chance of escaping from the hands of the great monks if he fights desperately.
But in terms of true power control, she still cannot compare with great monks like Meng Shangmo.
Finally, Meng Shangmo also expressed his attitude. He would not participate in Shuang Qingqing's insistence on settling old grudges with the clan.
The grey-robed elder only spoke a few simple words, but his logic was very clear and he gave a clear answer, which made people feel his wisdom and stability.
If Li Yan asked him to save Shuang Qingqing at the critical moment, he might agree. After all, he had promised Li Yan three chances, which was still within his ability.
But Li Yan did not bring it up, because Shuang Qingqing had said before she came that she only asked for a chance to explain herself and for Bai Rou to be rescued.
As for whether she could escape or not, Shuang Qingqing was still confident because she had a defensive cloak treasure given by Gujiuqi.
That magic weapon had provided great protection for her and Bai Rou in the turbulent space. Its defense was able to withstand a full-strength attack from a great monk, which naturally gave her time to escape.
"Thank you, Senior Meng!"
Li Yan showed a look of joy and immediately saluted again, then he was blocked by a gentle force.
"Okay, write me a copy of the information about the disciple named Bai Rou right now. It's better not to be careless about some things. It's better to do it sooner rather than later!"
The gray-robed old man didn't move at all, but a force suddenly emerged from his body, which lifted up Li Yan's momentum of salute.
Not long after, Li Yan handed a jade slip to the gray-robed old man.
"You can go out now. I think Yi Xiaowu is getting impatient. Don't worry too much about other things. In addition, I think there is one thing that can be handled in this way..."
The gray-robed old man immediately put forward his suggestion, and Li Yan nodded repeatedly after listening to it. It was not that he had not thought about it before, but his own strength and environment did not allow it.
Now that he had the help of the grey-robed old man, Li Yan had a plan in mind. Then, the grey-robed old man took out two sound transmission notes and handed them to Li Yan with a smile.
After talking with Li Yan, he found out that just as he had said before, he did not inquire about the news of Li Yan's sect.
Even the teleportation array that Meng Zhiyuan and the others used to teleport back was not mentioned.
The matter has come to an end here, and Li Yan didn't dare to disturb the other party anymore. He could guess that Meng Shangmo might set out to look for Bai Rou immediately.
After paying his respects, Li Yan walked quickly outside as the grey-robed old man nodded with a smile. But when he was about to reach the cave entrance, he suddenly heard the grey-robed old man's chuckle in his mind.
"Oh, by the way, Zhang Xiaoyou, please don't let the strong ones in your spirit storage bag cause trouble in my clan. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want!"
Li Yan, who was about to step out of the cave, immediately stopped. His body shook violently and the expression on his face froze.
When he turned his head stiffly, the figure of the gray-robed old man in the garden-like cave had disappeared, and the parrot was also nowhere to be seen.
"He...he...he can sense my mind connection?"
Li Yan was filled with shock and fear in his heart.
Of course, if we talk about cultivation level, as long as Li Yan uses the power of his spiritual consciousness, even cultivators of the same level may be able to discover his actions, let alone the other party.
But that situation is the result of using spiritual consciousness to spread.
As for the magic weapons, storage items, and spirit storage bags that Li Yan had used to refine, they already had his spiritual consciousness on them. So at any time, it was normal for these things to have spiritual consciousness, and they were an integral part of the whole.
To be exact, Li Yan's communication with the soul storage bag was just using his mind to communicate with his spiritual consciousness. The soul storage bag was originally a restriction formed by his spiritual consciousness.
Shuang Qingqing should not be able to detect this, otherwise she would not have proposed such a plan. But the gray-robed old man was still able to tell that Li Yan was abnormal, and said that there was a strong man in his soul storage bag. This was too terrifying.
Although Li Yan's mind was always connected to the spirit storage bag, he suppressed the shock in his heart and did not notify Shuang Qingqing immediately.
After Li Yan came out of the cave, he saw the young man in red clothes standing outside the cave like a spear. After seeing Li Yan coming out, a smile appeared on Yi Xiaowu's somewhat dull face.
"My benefactor..."
"Don't call me benefactor anymore. To put it bluntly, this is just a deal. Call me Zhang Ming or fellow Taoist. I feel more intimate with you!"
Except for calling Li Yan "Daoyou Zhang" in front of the black-robed man and his clansmen at the beginning, Yi Xiaowu called Li Yan "benefactor" all the time afterwards, showing his respect for Li Yan.
"this… "
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Yi Xiaowu's face.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Since you have all returned to the normal path of cultivation, I wish you all a smooth journey!"
"Well... Sir, you are leaving soon, so what about the old ancestor..."
"Haha, Zhang Ming, I'm Zhang Ming!
It is a great adventure for me to meet you on my journey to immortality. Senior Meng has agreed to my request.
But I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t bother you any more for now. I may come and bother you again when I have time in the future!"
Li Yan rarely spoke from the bottom of his heart, which could be regarded as a small return for Yi Xiaowu's true feelings.
After Li Yan flew away from the thick fog, he stopped only after he was 30,000 miles away from the "Dark Spirit Bat".
As his mind communicated, a white light flashed from his waist, and two graceful figures appeared in front of him.
"Little guy, what happened? There's no news for so long?"
As soon as the figure appeared, a voice that was so charming that it penetrated into the bones came over...
After dozens of breaths, Shuang Qingqing and Zhao Min both had dazed expressions on their faces.
"It's that easy. You have invited a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage?"
Shuang Qingqing still asked in disbelief.
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, Senior Meng may have already gone to the Tianling Clan!"
Shuang Qingqing stared at Li Yan's face for a long time before finally confirming that Li Yan was talking about something seriously.
"Say his last words again!"
Li Yan then repeated what Meng Shangmo had pointed out at the end. Shuang Qingqing narrowed her beautiful eyes after hearing it.
“This old fellow Meng Shangmo is really powerful, but you shouldn’t think of him as so scary.
He should have discovered the abnormality of the soul storage bag through some of your behavior, but he was not sure what was in the soul storage bag.
Otherwise, given his attitude towards you, it is very likely that he will just point it out directly, which will make him appear more open and allow you to feel more at ease with him.
He probably guessed that you came to their tribe, and he was worried, so he kept some backup plans.
In his opinion, either I am in the soul storage bag, or the ancestor you mentioned has left some protective means.
However, it is true that this old man is truly amazing. There are things about the magical powers of a great cultivator that I cannot fathom at all…”
Shuang Qingqing was silent for a moment. She had always been aloof and arrogant. She even used the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" to lure a late-stage demon general into the "Flying Sand Ancient Cave".
In that narrow space, Shuang Qingqing, who was of decisive and strong character, detonated her Nascent Soul without hesitation, causing the late-stage demon general to turn into nothingness in an instant.
However, under the protection of the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix", he accidentally left behind a remnant soul. After waking up, Shuang Qingqing thought that the late Nascent Soul stage was probably just like this.
But there are so many masters in the world, and Meng Shangmo, who is also in the late Nascent Soul stage, gives her the same feeling now. He is ridiculously stronger than some other great cultivators she has seen.
"He has never ascended to the heavens. His realm may be infinitely close to the Divine Transformation Realm. Never underestimate any cultivator!"
Shuang Qingqing was warned about her own arrogance.
Although she can use the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" to fight against great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage and protect herself, this is something that many cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage cannot do.
But the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" can enhance combat power, but it has no other means or magical powers. For example, to have a strong spiritual awareness, one must rely on one's own cultivation.
"I really have to thank you this time, Li Yan!"
Shuang Qingqing suddenly said such a rare sentence, and even more rarely said Li Yan's name.
Indeed, Li Yan was a Jindan cultivator, and also a mid-level cultivator who had just arrived in Qingqing Continent. After several attempts, he unexpectedly helped her solve the most difficult problem.
Of course, if she hadn't brought Bai Rou here by mistake, Shuang Qingqing could have resolved this old grudge by herself this time. If it didn't work, she would have to tear the space apart by herself and risk escaping into the turbulent space.
Once there, even a Divine Transformation cultivator would not dare to use the art of teleportation. It would be impossible to catch up with Shuang Qingqing who had the support of the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix".
