"Ever since I came back, the Second Elder and his men have wanted me to become a Taoist partner with someone in their lineage, so your appearance will definitely affect his plan.
If Junior Brother had revealed before that he had practiced the 'Qiongqi Purgatory Technique', then it was revealed. Although it would have affected your arrival, I will handle it myself.
However, maybe you have taken some things into consideration, so you did not use this technique, so I will temporarily hide it from the Great Elder and the others, and we will decide how to say it after we discuss it.
Because of the above reasons, and the fact that you are now at a very high level of cultivation, it will have a significant impact on the Second Elder and his men. He will definitely not let you get the position of 'King Qing' smoothly.
Now the Great Elder cannot interfere with this matter forcibly, he has more things to consider.
Just from the fact that the fourth and fifth elders, who were close to the second elder, were seriously injured in the battle with the wind beast, the first elder cannot act on his own.
After all, these people have differences in their own interests, but in the fight against the wind beast, they are all good men of the Tianli tribe. If one of them is not handled well, the Tianli tribe will fall apart!"
Gong Chenying explained the situation quickly.
"There's no rush for this. What are you going to do about Patriarch Gong and the Sixth Elder? According to what you said, they disappeared for more than ten years, but you seem to have a way to know that they are still alive?"
Li Yan could feel that there was no sadness in Gong Chenying's eyes when she talked about Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder. Li Yan wondered if the other party also had something similar to the "Soul Lamp" left in the clan.
Gong Chenying's tall figure was half leaning on the table, her breasts were magnificent, making her clothes look round and straight, and a few inches of clothes below her round breasts were tightly attached to her faintly muscular belly.
Her legs are stretched out side by side, straight and slender, and her short hair is as cool and elegant as ever, giving people a sense of leisure.
Although she was recounting what had happened before, it seemed as if it had nothing to do with her and there was no emotion in her voice.
But when Li Yan understood his situation, he immediately changed the subject. The words he asked afterwards caused a slight change to appear on Gong Faying's always cold and beautiful face.
But this change was fleeting, and she raised her peerless face and looked at Li Yan again.
"The Tianli tribe doesn't like to keep other people's souls. We value freedom and strength, so we don't have things like 'soul lamps' in the tribe. We don't like to be restricted by others.
The reason why he was sure that his father and the Sixth Elder were fine was that the Third Elder was good at the witchcraft technique of divination. This technique could be used to predict good or bad luck, but it also had a strong backlash on the person who cast the technique.
If the secret is revealed, the Third Elder's life span will be shortened, but this can be divided into light and heavy. Just predicting the fortune of my father is a light one. It mainly relies on a drop of my blood to predict whether the connection in the dark will be broken.
If I were to force myself to see through the secrets of heaven and specifically investigate my father's current condition, it would consume at least a hundred years of my lifespan, or more, and the cost would be enormous."
Gong Chenying stopped talking here. She didn't like to talk, and it was a great achievement for her to explain so much to Li Yan.
"Before leaving, did Patriarch Gong and his men leave a message about where they were going? Or could we use the 'divination technique' to find their exact location?"
Li Yan tapped the table lightly with his fingers and narrowed his eyes slightly. Gong Chenying's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that, but then shook his head.
"Why, you can't determine where they are going?"
Li Yan saw Gong Chenying shaking his head and showed a somewhat puzzled expression.
If he remembered correctly, Gong Chenying had said before that the great elder of the Tianli tribe wanted to go out and look for Gong Shanhe and the others. If there was no clue at all, then this proposal was nonsense.
"No, we know roughly where Father and the others are. Although it's just an approximate location, there's still a range. But I want to know your true level of cultivation!"
Gong Chenying was not stupid. He had guessed the other party's intention from Li Yan's words.
His father was already a peak warrior in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and with the help of the Sixth Elder who was in the early Nascent Soul stage, this combination of two people had a certain chance of escaping from the hands of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
With the two of them working together, the chances of encountering danger on this continent are not very high.
What kind of danger must it be to trap them? Therefore, the Great Elder actually wanted to go there himself. However, as soon as he left, Yan San would definitely attack immediately, and the Tianli tribe would be in an irretrievable situation.
"So you are worried about my strength, um... you don't have to worry about that! Let me put it this way, I am confident that I can escape even if I face a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Besides, I may not necessarily go there. I just want to find out clearly first and then discuss the details later.
It seems that you know their location. How many times have you divined over the years to see if their location has moved over a large area?"
Li Yan's words made Gong Chenying hear a strong confidence. She did not expect that Li Yan's strength could be so strong.
After Li Yan took action last time, the Great Elder and others had already determined that Li Yan was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. This made Gong Chenying unbelievable, so she always wanted to know Li Yan's true strength.
Based on her understanding of Li Yan, Li Yan never speaks nonsense and will never exaggerate his cultivation.
Gong Chenying's clear eyes still only flickered slightly. With her personality, even if she faced death, there would not be much change on her face.
"I have performed divinations on my father three times in total. The most recent one was four months ago. My father's location is roughly in the same area as the last two divinations."
She understood what Li Yan meant. He was trying to determine whether Gong Shanhe was being chased by someone or trapped somewhere. Obviously, the result was the latter.
Although the "divination technique" used Gong Chenying's blood essence, it also affected the life span of the Third Elder, and each time it consumed about 30 years of life span, so it could not be used frequently. Moreover, Gong Chenying consumed a drop of blood essence, and even if she swallowed the best elixir in the clan, it would take at least several months to recover.
For various reasons, they only performed divination four times in more than ten years, and three of them were directed at Gong Shanhe.
As for the Sixth Elder, he used the blood essence of his tribesmen to divine once at the beginning, and after discovering that he was not far from Gong Shanhe, he never divined again afterwards.
"How much do you know about the situation at that location?"
"It is at the junction of the 'Wind Goose Beast' and 'Wind Iron Beast' areas. There is an endless swamp there. Father and the Sixth Elder should have entered it."
This time Gong Chenying answered quickly.
"Boundless Swamp? How many wind beasts are there? Is it one tribe or two tribes patrolling the territory together?"
"That is the border between the two tribes. Comparatively speaking, the possibility of wind beasts appearing there is much less, so the danger level should be greatly reduced."
Gong Chenying spoke slowly with a calm expression.
After hearing this, Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times.
"So, there may be a restriction in this swamp that even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot break through!"
Li Yan whispered, and then his eyes fixed on Gong Chenying's beautiful eyes.
"I plan to go over and take a look in the next few days. Don't worry, I have my own ways to protect my life. And after seeing the previous experience of Patriarch Gong, I will only be more careful.
Otherwise, waiting like this is not a long-term solution. Perhaps Chief Gong and his men are on the verge of collapse. "
After hearing this, Gong Chenying frowned slightly.
“Should you consult with the First Elder and the Third Elder about this matter, then you can decide.
The Great Elder said that he had been to that swamp three hundred years ago. Although he did not go deep into it, he still explored it and knew something about the situation there.
Furthermore, according to the original intention of the Great Elder, at least two Nascent Soul cultivators must go together so that they can look after each other, and one of them must be himself."
Gong Chenying spoke softly.
Li Yan did not answer immediately for a moment, but stroked his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.
The room fell into silence for a long time. Gong Chenying didn't want Li Yan to take such a risk without knowing the situation.
After forty breaths had passed, Li Yan chuckled.
"The Great Elder will definitely not be able to escape, Yan San is always watching him. And now the fourth elder of the Tianli tribe has also been severely injured by the enemy, and only the second and third elders are left to fight the enemy at any time.
Even judging by the number of fourth-level monsters from the three tribes that escaped last time, you are still slightly at a disadvantage.
Not to mention the Second Elder, he himself advocates defense as the main approach and does not want to disperse the troops, so how could he be willing to send more strong men out
Now that the wind beasts continue to attack, once a discussion begins, the second elder’s suggestion will definitely be approved by the majority of the tribesmen.
Therefore, it is meaningless for you to raise these issues, and it may also cause unrest within the tribe. I think it is better for me to find the Great Elder alone to learn about the information about the swamp."
Li Yan came here not only for the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", but also to help Gong Chenying.
He had figured it out these days. After his sudden appearance and disruption last time, the high-end combat power comparison between the Wind Beasts and the Tianli Clan had gradually become balanced.
The most urgent and pressing issue for the Tianli tribe right now is to rescue Gong Shanhe and the other two. This will not only boost morale, but also stabilize their high-end combat power at once.
If planned well, it would be possible to launch a Jedi counterattack and break the strange joint and continuous attack of the three tribes of wind beasts.
Although Li Yan did not think that he could defeat the opponent in one go, with the return of Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder, and the fact that he himself might be able to further injure the opponent, making them unable to attack again.
"you… "
In response to Li Yan's proposal, Gong Chenying's always cool and beautiful face finally showed hesitation. She was still worried that there was something wrong with Li Yan's decision.
For a moment, she felt that what Li Yan said made sense. Among his fellow disciples, Li Yan had always been the most calm and composed. This was another reason for her to believe in Li Yan.
When picking fruits in the secret realm, Li Yan displayed abilities that were totally inconsistent with his own cultivation level, so Gong Chenying also wanted to borrow Li Yan's power to rescue his father and the Sixth Elder.
But on the other hand, she was still worried about the degree of danger Li Yan had faced in the past. Everything was not as simple as just talking and analyzing it.
After all, the danger level there was so high that it trapped two Nascent Soul cultivators for more than ten years and they were unable to get out.
