Li Yan said no more, and then sank down with Gong Chenying. At the same time, he became doubly cautious.
The two of them had descended dozens of feet in an instant, and a series of dazzling lights burst out from the spiritual power shield outside Li Yan's body.
“Boom boom boom… bang bang bang… ding ding ding… bang bang bang…”
Various sounds continued to sound. They had entered a frantically swirling column of wind. The columns of wind were hitting, rolling, cutting, or stabbing...
However, Li Yan was like a huge stone weighing ten thousand pounds, with a flashing light, going straight down all the way, not being affected at all.
"The wind here is a little weird, it seems to contain ghost energy!"
As he sank straight down, Li Yan continued to feel the force coming from outside, and his expression began to become somewhat solemn.
Although the wind pillars here are of different shapes and sizes, they all contain an extreme coldness. Not long after the two fell, the attack power of the wind pillars around them became more and more violent.
If that were all, it would be fine, but Li Yan could already feel the extreme coldness coming from the wind becoming stronger and stronger, even stronger than the strange coldness formed by the giant sword of the Snow Mosquito Clan.
In these winds, Li Yan actually felt a special kind of yin energy.
When he was still in the Lost Continent, he had dealt with real ghosts and stayed in the Feng family ancient tombs. He was somewhat familiar with this kind of aura, which was the aura of ghosts.
Gong Chenying was protected by Li Yan in the spiritual power shield, so she could not feel these things. Li Yan was alert to the changes around him while whispering in her ear. The fiery breath continued to invade Gong Chenying's ears.
This made Gong Chenying's crystal clear amber earlobes start to get hot and red, and her body actually felt a little weak. Her straight legs couldn't help but close together, and then quietly moved a little outward.
As Li Yan spoke, she nodded at the same time, so that the hot air exhaled by Li Yan would be away from her earlobe.
At this time, Li Yan did not notice that after feeling the abnormality of the wind columns around him, he involuntarily approached Gong Chenying, and at the same time, he kept expressing his judgment.
A ball of dim light left a trail of afterimage and continued to fall. The next moment, the afterimage was blown away by the strong wind without leaving any trace.
The light outside the spiritual power shield of Li Yan became stronger and stronger, and the various collision and cutting sounds became louder and louder. The power generated by the surrounding wind columns continued to increase.
"One hundred feet, one hundred and ten feet, one hundred and twenty feet..."
Li Yan silently calculated the descent distance in his mind. When they descended to a hundred feet into the pit, Li Yan felt that this was the limit of what a late Jindan cultivator could endure.
Those cold wind pillars were so powerful that they could instantly freeze the protective aura of a late Jindan cultivator into an ice pillar. Then, with another stir of the wind pillar, the person inside would shatter into ice chips all over the sky, and even their soul would be unable to escape.
When they descended to two hundred feet, it was already the limit for the false infant monks...
The two of them fell all the way down like this. Apart from the increasingly huge wind columns, below the deep pit was already an endless space with howling winds.
Here, apart from various wind columns flying around, there is not even a living creature or a piece of vegetation. There are only wind columns that are like knives, swords, guns, hammers, mountains, and ice sweeping across.
They were stirring wildly in this space. Li Yan felt that even if there was a mountain here, it would be blown into pieces in an instant!
Just when Li Yan and his companions had descended more than a thousand feet to the bottom of the pit, Li Yan's face suddenly changed. He waved his sleeves violently, and a strong airflow hit downwards.
Almost at the same time, the spiritual power shields outside of them actually made a "cracking..." sound of shattering, and cracks appeared on the spiritual power shields in an instant.
The powerful airflow emitted from Li Yan's sleeves gushed out and hit several wind columns below.
"boom!"
Li Yan took advantage of this powerful recoil force and flew straight up among the various violent wind columns like an arrow with Gong Chenying.
At the same time, a black light flashed outside his body, and the cracks on the spiritual power shield disappeared in an instant, returning to normal again.
They only rose a few dozen feet and then stopped immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Gong Chenying's pretty face also changed. Everything just happened too fast, and it was not her who cast the spiritual power shield. By the time she reacted, she had already returned to the top dozens of feet.
A mid-Nascent Soul cultivator had to avoid the danger immediately, so you can imagine how dangerous it was. At the same time, she also looked down quickly. Li Yan just rose a distance and stopped, which meant that the attack did not follow.
"The power of the wind column there suddenly increased by more than ten times, and the spiritual power shield I used before was completely unable to defend against it."
Li Yan pointed and saw that the wind columns a few dozen feet below were no longer as violent and disorderly as the wind columns around them. Instead, they swayed regularly like water plants and seemed unusually quiet.
After hearing what Li Yan said, Gong Chenying also pointed to the distance.
"The stirring of the wind column is originally irregular. The height below also swings regularly in other places. We need to go and check further away!"
Where she pointed, extending from under their feet, there were the same wind columns swaying in a regular pattern, but Gong Chenying's spiritual sense could not detect any further.
Li Yan also withdrew his spiritual sense at this moment. He had the same reaction as Gong Chenying, that is, he could not sink here, so he wanted to see if he could continue sinking in other places.
“My spiritual sense here is affected by the wind pillars. As far as I can detect, the wind pillars at this height below are all swinging in the same regular pattern.
It seems we have to look for it, this might be the place where the chieftain and his men were in danger."
After Li Yan finished speaking, he took Gong Chenying and flew straight in one direction. He only said this for Gong Chenying to hear, and he thought she had no other choice.
After hearing Li Yan's last sentence, Gong Chenying's eyes also had a strange light.
After this situation occurred, although Li Yan and Gong Chenying were surprised, they also felt a little surprised at the same time.
Those regularly swaying wind columns below are extremely powerful and may cause harm to Gong Shanhe and the others. Maybe they are somewhere below.
So, the two began to search along this height...
Four days later, Li Yan and Gong Chenying were suspended in a turbulent column of wind, looking at the wind columns swaying regularly below. "We searched all over. At this height, there are powerful wind columns below. There are no gaps to pass through, and the spiritual sense below cannot detect it..."
Li Yan looked down, with strange light flickering in his eyes. He seemed to be telling Gong Chenying a story, or talking to himself.
Gong Chenying on the side frowned. She had taken out a magic weapon and threw it down to the wind column below for testing. The grade of that magic weapon was quite good. Even in the hands of a Jindan cultivator, it was a relatively precious treasure.
However, the moment it came into contact with the wind pillars, it emitted a blinding light and then shattered.
"Wait a moment up there, I'll go down and take a look myself!"
Li Yan suddenly said to Gong Chenying that although Gong Chenying had cultivated the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique" to the early fifth level and his physical body was comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, that was only the result of a short burst of power.
Li Yan just wanted to go down and take a look at the situation. If he found something wrong, he would withdraw immediately. Of course, it would be most convenient to go alone.
Gong Chenying looked at Li Yan, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
"If you find something wrong, withdraw immediately and we will discuss it again! Send out a spiritual rope and I can help you!"
After hearing this, Li Yan smiled at her.
"That's even better. Take out the 'Golden Bell Talisman'. I'm not with you, so be careful!"
Although Gong Chenying had no problem defending against the wind pillars around him with his physical body, Li Yan still gave serious instructions.
As he spoke, he had already walked out of the spiritual power shield, and another spiritual power shield instantly formed outside his body. The spiritual power shield he left behind should be able to last about ten breaths.
There was a long spiritual power rope tied around Li Yan's waist, and the other end remained inside the spiritual power shield and was held in Gong Chenying's hand.
The moment he stepped out of the spiritual power shield, Li Yan felt several gusts of extremely cold wind blowing towards him. Even Li Yan felt that the extreme coldness in the wind was drilling into his bones.
He turned around, stretched out a finger and pointed again, and a dark spiritual power net was wrapped around Gong Chenying's body again, making the spiritual power shield tighter.
Seeing Li Yan being so cautious, Gong Chenying felt a warm feeling in her heart. Over the years, she had been fighting against enemies everywhere and had long been accustomed to life and death. After her father disappeared, she had to bear many things that did not originally belong to her.
The appearance of this junior brother in front of her, although he was as quiet as before, was protecting her invisibly. Although this feeling was strange, but... it was really good!
Li Yan saw that Gong Chenying was holding a "Golden Bell Talisman" in her hand and her other jade hand was also firmly grasping one end of the spiritual power rope, so he nodded to her.
Afterwards, he flipped his palm, and a dark red "Hunyuan Zhenqian Fu" talisman appeared and was held in his palm.
The wind column below was extremely powerful. After previous encounters with it, Li Yan felt that he should have enough time to react and escape if the situation got bad.
But he has always been cautious in his actions, so he still made preparations for any eventuality. The "Hunyuan Zhenqian Fu" has the magical power of "ding" in the immortal arts, and it is effective even against the strong winds in turbulent space and the strange suction generated by black holes.
This talisman can keep one's body in a stalemate for one to five breaths. As long as the body can be stabilized for one breath, Li Yan will have more chances to escape.
What's more, there is a spiritual power rope held by Gong Chenying. As long as she exerts all her strength, it will be equivalent to having an early Nascent Soul cultivator briefly helping her, giving Li Yan an extra layer of protection.
After doing all this, Li Yan no longer hesitated and immediately fell downwards.
Gong Chenying above had an even more cold and stern expression, and his spiritual consciousness followed Li Yan closely all the way down.
Soon, Li Yan arrived several dozen feet below, and his feet instantly touched a column of wind below. The wind column, which had been rotating back and forth regularly within a radius of thirty feet, suddenly became violent.
Just like a shark smelling blood, it suddenly exerted a huge force to pull Li Yan downwards.
Its power is more than ten times greater than those wind columns just a few dozen feet above.
Li Yan had already been prepared. The dim light outside his body became even darker, and his body was like a piece of sunken wood that had been there for thousands of years. It was not moved at all and fell straight down.
Li Yan continued to spread his spiritual sense. He found that after he entered the wind column below, his spiritual sense could only scan within 600 feet to the left and right and above, but only 300 feet downwards. If it was any further, it would be shredded by the wind column.
Furthermore, as he fell, his spiritual power was not only rapidly consumed, but its range was also rapidly compressed.
In his consciousness, in addition to the wind columns turning black, there were faint human faces appearing on the black wind columns. Although the faces were a little blurry, they could still be distinguished. There were men and women, old and young.
Their faces were all gray and their expressions were distorted with pain, as if they were enduring endless torture. They opened their mouths wide and let out silent roars.
Some showed their broken, yellow or black teeth, biting at the empty space in front of them with a "crackling, crackling" sound; some had dark red bloodstains dripping from their eyes, and in pain, lines of blood and tears flowed out...
These faces were spinning rapidly around on the wall of the wind column like a revolving lantern, making people dizzy and chilled.
As Li Yan continued to fall, the black wind column below was as thick as ink. Li Yan had only descended three hundred feet when a thick layer of gray ice crystals formed on the spiritual power shield outside his body.
Li Yan frowned. Apart from feeling the increasingly strong pressure from the outside world and the gray extremely cold icy air that was difficult to dissolve without careful effort, he did not feel the presence of any living creatures here.
"After only descending a few hundred feet, I have already consumed nearly 30% of my mana, and as I continue to descend, the mana consumption will increase exponentially.
The Sixth Elder of the Tianli Clan is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. If he has reached this point, he will already be struggling. If he goes down another hundred feet, that will be his limit…”
Li Yan thought quickly in his mind. He did not find any trace of Gong Shanhe and the other man. Here, his spiritual sense had been compressed to within a hundred feet. Even the figure of Gong Chenying above could not be detected.
Thoughts raced through his mind, and Li Yan felt that unless the Sixth Elder had some special defensive magic weapon, at this altitude, he could only descend a hundred feet at most.
Thinking of this, Li Yan decided to descend another hundred feet to see if he could find the location, and then conduct a quick search after reaching that height.
Although his magic power is powerful, he still needs the support of elixirs to search at that height for a longer period of time. He doesn't have many "Rongsun" in his hands, so of course he can't use them easily.
Li Yan ignored the terrifying human faces spinning in the sky around him. They seemed unable to escape from the wind column wall, so they did not attack him at the moment.
Judging from the current situation, although the "Eye of the Sky Wind" has become strange, its greatest attack is the extreme cold power contained in the wind.
