"I have seen this mark before, and the people who possess it are also practitioners of puppetry, called 'Shen Jue Shu'. Their surname is also Shuang, but it's the Shuang of Shuangye. And their tribe is not called Tianling Clan, but Duye..."
As Li Yan was narrating, he also recalled why he felt familiar when Shuang Lianzhou took out the three-legged blue phoenix. It was because a similar formation was engraved on the body of the Qianluo ancient ape, which he had long since returned to Shuang Qingqing!
Although Shuang Qingqing already had some guesses, after hearing Li Yan's first sentence, she was struck by lightning. Her delicate body swayed for a moment, and then she held on to the stone table with her hands.
In an instant, she didn't even know what Li Yan was saying next.
"Shuang from Shuangye also knows puppetry, the same pattern, 'Shenjueshu'... Could it really be the lineage of Senior Brother Tongguan? It must be the lineage of Senior Brother Tongguan..."
She kept repeating it in a whisper, until after seven or eight breaths, she seemed to wake up suddenly, and regardless of the tears in her eyes, she grabbed Li Yan's shoulders!
At this time, the only thing she was unsure about was the "Shen Jue Shu". However, Shuang Qingqing was smart and intelligent, and she was also wondering whether her senior brother had changed the name of the puppetry he learned in order to avoid being hunted down.
The most important thing is that Li Yan has actually seen that logo, this is the most important thing!
"Are you sure it's this mark? Are you sure? Where have you seen them before? Where?"
Shuang Qingqing has experienced great sorrow and joy, life and death, and yet she has still managed to control her emotions and maintain the most basic level of clarity.
But what she said in her mouth made Li Yan repeatedly confirm one thing. She couldn't believe it...
After one stick of incense, the courtyard of Shuang Qingqing was silent. At this moment, there were two more people in the courtyard, which was covered with smoke from the beacons of Mo and Shuang.
"So you are from the Lost Continent?"
Shuang Fengyan looked at Li Yan, and Li Yan felt helpless. Although he didn't want to expose his whereabouts, as long as the other party found Shuang Wuyan and the others, he would be exposed.
After thinking about it, he had to change some of his words.
"Yes, I once left the sect to go out for training and went to the Lost Continent.
He also served as an elder in a small sect called 'Falling Star Valley' for a period of time, and it was during that time that he saved Shuang Chongshan and the others."
Shuang Fengyan was shocked. This small golden elixir in front of him could cross the boundary for training. This was extremely rare even among the top sects in Qingqing Continent. It could not be said to exist at all.
Just as he was about to continue asking, Meng Shangmo's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"You can ask about Shuang Wuyan and the others, but don't ask about Zhang Ming himself. You know too much and it won't do any good.
I can tell you that the people behind him are from a sect that you simply cannot afford to offend!
For an old ancestor in the sect, killing a divine cultivator is as easy as eating and drinking. There is no way I can survive even a single move from him.
That's all I have to say. If you insist on asking, and if he doesn't want to answer, you can't ask any more, or I will take them away now!"
Shuang Fengyan was already surprised. He didn't expect Meng Shangmo to say such words.
"Could it be that the strong men who can easily kill the Divine Transformation cultivators are those hidden ancient races?"
Shuang Fengyan's cultivation is extremely high, and he is considered to be the top existence in this world. He knows even more.
Don’t look at the fact that several top sects in Qingqing Continent are divided into different areas and each dominates one side.
However, in some unknown places, there are still ancient races passed down from ancient times. They are rare in number and do not like to show up in the world.
Among these ancient races, there are terrifying old guys who have lived for who knows how many years. Any one of them can easily destroy these so-called top sects.
In fact, it is precisely because of the existence of these people that warlike alien races like the Lost Continent dare not invade easily.
Otherwise, with the opening of cross-border channels in Qingqing Continent, investigations may not be so peaceful.
In an instant, Shuang Fengyan also figured out many problems.
"This old man Meng said he was entrusted by someone, could it be this kid in front of me? If there really is a big shot behind this kid like what old man Meng said, he can really run around like a dog!"
At this moment, he finally figured out Meng Shangmo's strange behavior! !
"Great Elder, this matter has become simple. As long as Shuang Wuyan and the others have not left the 'Falling Star Valley', then someone can go and check and find out their true identities.
If they are really the descendants of Senior Brother Tongguan, they must have an inheritance, which is very easy to identify. I think the matter of my master can be explained later!
However, Bai Yihe must not know about this. Either you go there in person, or I will go there!! "
Shuang Qingqing had calmed down by now. She looked at Shuang Fengyan, and Shuang Fengyan nodded.
There were also countless waves in his heart. This matter had been shelved for too long, but he didn't expect that in his generation, there would be a sudden turn of events.
“I can’t leave. As soon as I leave, Bai Yihe will notice it. You can’t go before you meet Shuang Wuyan and the others. I hope Elder Qingqing can understand.
It is better to let the Third Elder cross over. You can rest assured that the Third Elder will not reveal any information to Bai Yihe.
Whether he finds those people or not, he should go to the Duye tribe again, as that may be the root of the tribe that Shuangtongguan established back then."
The next thing was Li Yan's job. He engraved the location of "Falling Star Valley" and the appearances of Shuang Wuyan, Shuang Chongshan and others on a jade slip, and then gave it to Shuang Fengyan.
In the next few days, Li Yan and Zhao Min did not leave, but stayed in Shuang Qingqing's courtyard. Meng Shangmo had already disappeared.
During these few days, Shuang Qingqing would talk to the three of them every day, but most of the time, they were targeting those in the Jindan stage. It was obvious that she wanted to help Li Yan and the other two more.
Although Li Yan could see that Shuang Qingqing was often distracted, they were sincerely teaching them some core things.
This made Li Yan and Zhao Min have a lot of insights, especially Li Yan. He basically came from a self-taught background and had always relied on self-cultivation, unlike Zhao Min, who even had the guidance of a spiritual cultivator.
Every time Li Yan listened to Shuang Qingqing's teachings, he had an urge to go into seclusion and meditate immediately.
Although Shuang Qingqing's cultivation system is different from theirs, her knowledge is very profound.
Often just one sentence can make Li Yan's mind suddenly enlightened, and he will feel like scratching his head and being overjoyed.
At noon on the third day, Shuang Qingqing, who was closing her eyes in the courtyard, suddenly felt her ears tremble slightly, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
She spent most of her time in the courtyard these days, and rarely went into her room. Apart from explaining things to Li Yan and the others, she was quietly waiting. Soon, her voice reached the minds of the three people who were still practicing in their respective rooms.
"The Third Elder has brought his men back. Shuang Fengyan let us pass!"
Li Yan, who was practicing in the house, was awakened from his practice, and his expression was a little dazed.
"It's only been two days, and the Third Elder has already made a round trip from the Lost Continent? This is too fast..."
He and Zhao Min had put in a lot of effort and almost lost their lives to get here.
"A cross-border teleportation formation!"
Li Yan sighed in his heart, but he still had a question in his mind, that is, the time used by the third elder was still too short.
Even if the teleportation does not take long, the cross-border teleportation formation is still near the "Holy Demon City".
The third elder not only had to go to the "Falling Star Valley" to look for someone, but also had to go to the Duye tribe to confirm. It was impossible to complete it in just two days.
"Could it be that Shuang Wuyan, Shuang Chongshan and the others are in trouble?"
When Li Yan pushed the door open, his thoughts raced. This was the biggest reason he could think of, otherwise the third elder would not have come back so soon.
This made his heart sink, but he didn't want to say it out loud at this time, for fear that he might have made a wrong judgment and would make Shuang Qingqing upset.
In a neatly decorated cave of the Tianling clan, smoke from the tranquilizing sandalwood was rising.
Bai Yihe was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. At this moment, he was holding a sound transmission talisman in his hand, frowning in deep thought.
"Shuang Qingqing left her courtyard and went to Shuang Fengyan's cave, and brought Bai Rou and two other Jindan with her. What is she doing?"
Since Shuang Qingqing stayed in the Tianling tribe, he would of course send someone to monitor her. He knew that Shuang Qingqing must know about this, but the other party was probably too lazy to care about these things now.
This was exactly the result he wanted. It would be enough to know that the other party stayed in the courtyard, and there was no need to investigate anything else.
Bai Yihe didn't feel strange that Shuang Qingqing went to Shuang Fengyan's cave. After all, it was normal for Shuang Fengyan to ask Shuang Qingqing if he remembered something or found out something.
But when Shuang Qingqing brought other people with her, he felt something was strange!
Bai Yihe also knew that the man and woman with golden elixir came to Shuang Qingqing. They were sent by Meng Shangmo.
At first, Bai Yihe was also guessing the identities of the two Jindan masters, a man and a woman. After thinking about it, he believed that they were disciples of the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat".
Meng Shangmo is so devoted to helping Shuang Qingqing, he must have had some kind of deal with her, and it must be related to these two Jindan.
But he also knew that Shuang Qingqing would never pass on the puppet technique to outsiders, and even Shuang Fengyan would not agree to this.
Since Shuang Fengyan did not try to stop it, the most likely possibility was that Shuang Qingqing herself had obtained some extremely powerful secret technique from the outside world.
Meng Shangmo somehow found out that the skills should be extremely useful to these two Jindan, so some deals were made.
The next few days seemed to confirm his thoughts, as Meng Shangmo disappeared.
The two of them stayed in Shuang Qingqing's courtyard and never went out. Maybe they were receiving some kind of inheritance.
But he couldn't understand why these two Jindan cultivators from the outside world also went to Shuang Fengyan's cave together today.
At the same time, he didn't know that the third elder had not been in the clan for the past few days, and had entered Shuang Fengyan's cave before Shuang Qingqing and the others.
He must keep an eye on Shuang Qingqing, because she is now half a prisoner. As long as he doesn't do anything excessive, Shuang Qingqing will not take action.
As for monitoring the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, especially the cave of Shuang Fengyan, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, he can give it a try as long as he doesn't think he will live long.
But now Shuang Fengyan didn't let him go at all. If he went there rashly, Shuang Fengyan would probably not see him.
For a moment, Bai Yihe's mind was rapidly thinking about various possibilities and the next plan...
"Senior, is it possible that the Third Elder didn't find anyone? Otherwise, how could he come back so quickly?"
On the way, Li Yan still asked the questions in his mind, but did not express his guess.
Shuang Qingqing had been frowning the whole time. She also felt that something was wrong with the problem, but she just didn't want to think about the worst.
"Not sure, Shuang Fengyan didn't say!!"
After that, everyone fell into silence along the way.
When Shuang Qingqing and other three stepped into Shuang Fengyan Cave, they were stunned because there were seven people in the cave at the moment.
As Shuang Qingqing and the others stepped in, those people all looked over.
These people were still talking about something, but when they saw Shuang Qingqing and the other three come in, they stopped talking.
While others were still looking at everyone else in the cave except Shuang Fengyan and the third elder, Li Yan had a smile on his face because he saw several familiar faces.
"Zhang... Zhang Ming, why are you here?"
"You...you are Elder Zhang...Elder Zhang?"
Before anyone else could speak, a plump and beautiful woman and an old man stared at Li Yan in amazement, and questions came out of their mouths subconsciously.
"Elder Wuyan, Fellow Daoist Chongshan, it is such a pleasure to see you here again! It is like meeting old friends again!"
Li Yan was already smiling, and a huge weight was lifted off his heart...
