With the return of Gong Shanhe and his group, Yan San and his group quickly looked at Li Yan and his group. They saw a figure shrouded in haze, which actually revealed a strong aura.
After confirming that Li Yan was in good health and Gong Shanhe was also able to maintain his combat effectiveness, Yan San and the others disappeared quickly at a speed even faster than before.
If they fight against the Tianli tribe at this time, except for Yan San himself, the other three wind beasts will definitely suffer a great loss, especially who is that powerful aura
This made Yan San and the others feel surprised and angry. Not only did the Tianli tribe not lose any high-level cultivators, but their numbers were increasing.
Seeing the other party retreat, the Great Elder and his men did not pursue them. At this time, the situation of Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder was not very good.
Moreover, they had many things to discuss, especially how there came another unknown cultivator with a strong aura.
In the Tianli tribe, huge cries of joy reached the sky. Men, women, old and young in the tribe walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky. Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder transformed into huge shadows and appeared in the air.
For a moment, the cheers of the Tianli people were earth-shaking and the atmosphere was boiling, and many people even cried for joy.
After Gong Shanhe said a few simple words, he asked the monks and warriors of the clan to continue to guard the front line, and then he and the great elder and his party flew to the rear.
Many people in the clan saw Gong Chenying standing beside a hazy figure, and the mysterious young monk was also standing not far away, and some people even paid great respects to Li Yan.
Now, under the deliberate secret arrangement of the Great Elder, some of Li Yan's deeds have already spread among the ordinary people of the Tianli tribe, such as killing the fourth-order wind beast in the last war and setting up an unbreakable defense line.
These rumors were spread by word of mouth by many people, and some time ago someone said that Li Yan disappeared, perhaps because he went to inquire about the news of the clan leader and the sixth elder, but no one confirmed this news.
Now, seeing that the clan leader and the sixth elder had returned, and Li Yan was right next to them, many people remembered the rumor again.
"He really went to look for the clan leader and the Sixth Elder!"
"Why does this person help my tribe like this?"
"I heard from the front that he is a fellow disciple of Aying, so of course I will help him!"
"Hush... I heard he might be 'King Qing'..."
"Nonsense, I've never heard Ah Ying say that he has someone he likes..."
Among the towering mountains and steep cliffs, the tribesmen were scattered in the mountain villages. They talked in a low voice, but most of them had a good impression of Li Yan, especially those mortals.
Over the past two months, countless people have prayed for Li Yan, hoping that this monk would live forever. Ordinary people have long been tired of seeing their loved ones die.
Now, they are slowly waking up from their numbness and regaining some of what they lost...
The Second Elder could only sigh in his heart when he saw everything in front of him. He sighed more for Gong Shanhe's influence. His prestige could not be wiped out in just a dozen years...
After arriving at the Tianli tribe, Li Yan did not go to the "Tianli Palace" but went directly to his own residence. Gong Chenying immediately accompanied Hong Yin to the place where the tribe's classics were collected.
As for Hong Yin, Gong Shanhe secretly conveyed a message to the Great Elder and others, stating that Hong Yin was the soul of a powerful man they met when they were trapped, and now they needed to look at some records in ancient books.
So he let her read the peripheral classics first, and then they would discuss the follow-up matters in detail.
Gong Shanhe wanted to discuss the most important matter with the Great Elder first, as that matter could not be delayed any longer. However, before parting with Li Yan, he still glanced at Li Yan, who nodded slightly.
This also made Gong Shanhe feel a little relieved. He had already seen Li Yan's fighting ability, so there should be no problem in asking him to pay attention to Gong Chenying.
In the Tianli Palace, except for the Fourth Elder who was seriously injured and had not yet come out of seclusion, the Fifth Elder who had basically recovered also rushed over after hearing the news, and the Sixth Elder who was injured also participated in this important meeting of the Tianli tribe.
Just from the fact that Gong Shanhe, a Hui people, did not recuperate first, we can see how anxious he was.
"What? The fourth type of wind beast, Shanhe, are you sure that's a wind beast?"
The Great Elder was shocked.
After everyone sat down, Gong Shanhe told them what they had discovered in the swamp without waiting for them to ask about his and the Sixth Elder's experiences.
"Lao Liu and I were on the road before, and we also checked what happened after we separated. We guessed that Yan San might have discovered the existence of this wind beast before.
But after he went to investigate, he was not sure about dealing with this wind beast, but he still escaped with his powerful fourth-level peak strength, and then set a trap, trying to use the wind beast under the swamp to cause heavy casualties to our tribe! "
Gong Shanhe said quickly.
"But if what you said is true, the underground wind beasts should be very powerful, even Yan San can't deal with them, but why didn't they rush out of the ground, and... and didn't they kill you and Lao Liu!!"
Several elders listened to Gong Shanhe's narration, and then they frowned. The second elder took the lead and asked questions directly.
"That was a sleeping fifth-level wind beast. We didn't kill it so that it could absorb the blood of me and Lao Liu to recover!"
Gong Shanhe directly told the even more shocking news, which shocked the Great Elder and the others. The hall was silent for five or six breaths, and only heavy breathing sounds could be heard.
"You... you mean... that's a fifth-level wind beast?"
The Great Elder spoke in a low voice.
"This should be correct. The reason we are sure of this is because of fellow Daoist Hongyin who returned with us..."
The meeting lasted nearly three hours. When the great elders came out at last, they all looked solemn.
The third elder also lost her former stunning appearance. After looking at the night ahead, she sighed and flew away into the night sky.
In her heart, she thought that after Gong Shanhe and the Sixth Elder returned with their lives, the Tianli tribe finally had the upper hand and the situation was stable again, but she didn't expect that Gong Shanhe brought back even worse news.
The second elder and the fifth elder also kept their heads down thinking about things all the way, and walked out of the "Tianli Palace" with a solemn look on their faces. They finally understood why the three tribes of wind beasts joined forces and attacked the Tianli tribe at all costs.
He just wanted to take down the Tianli tribe as soon as possible before the fourth tribe of wind beasts came out, and with the help of the Tianli tribe's stockpiled resources, he could let Yan San quickly break through to the fifth level so that he could fight against that terrifying wind beast.
Otherwise, given the nature of wind beasts, if the three tribes of "Wind Goose Beasts" had not always had similar strengths and had not lived next to each other for generations, and knew each other's ins and outs, they would have already fought each other to the death.
Since the wind beasts under the swamp are stronger than all of their wind beasts, they will definitely not let these three tribes stay in this area. Even if they cannot destroy the "Sky Eye Pit" of the three tribes, they will beat them so that they can never come out of the ground again...
For a time, everyone below the Tianli tribe was happy, but a group of high-ranking officials were shrouded in dark clouds. The reason why the Great Elder and others had discussed for so long was that they were already discussing a way out.
However, at present, no one could think of a suitable place on the Fengshen Continent that could accommodate such a large tribe. In the end, they could only list a few places and then send people to explore them first.
After Li Yan returned to the pavilion where he lived before, he let Qianji and Zikun go on their own, while he sat cross-legged in the pavilion with his eyes closed.
The auras of Gong Chenying and the other person appeared in his spiritual consciousness.
Hong Yin, who was in the collection of classic books, seemed to have sensed Li Yan's consciousness. She just glanced in the direction of the consciousness and continued to immerse herself in the various classic books and jade slips. There were too many things she needed to understand, and she couldn't understand them in detail just by relying on Gong Shanhe and the others' descriptions.
Li Yan did not deliberately conceal his investigation. He told Hong Yin openly that he was always watching her and told her not to do anything bad.
At the beginning, Li Yan saw that Hong Yin was still looking for the classics by herself, and Gong Chenying was just sitting cross-legged beside her to practice. Half a day later, Hong Yin began to question Gong Chenying with the classics, and the last two were even whispering constantly.
Although he was monitoring the other party, he did not stare at the other party's every word and action like he would guard a prisoner. He just kept his spiritual consciousness wandering nearby, so he did not know what the two were talking about.
As I said, with Hong Yin's level of cultivation, it would be too late for him to block if she wanted to attack Gong Chenying. It was just a warning.
Now the Tianli tribe and Hongyin are slowly moving towards cooperation. Although Li Yan is dissatisfied with Hongyin, he cannot take the initiative to provoke the other party.
Two days later, Li Yan heard Hong Yin's voice transmission through his consciousness.
"Friend Li, come here!"
Li Yan in the pavilion opened his eyes immediately after hearing this. There was still more than one day left in the three days they agreed with Hong Yin. Why was the other party calling him over at this time
"Let's see what tricks you have. If you want to make any more demands, I can only try to use the Fragmentation Poison to plot against you, and then get the method to remove the restriction from you!!"
Li Yan thought in his heart!
When Li Yan appeared in front of the classic book collection pavilion, he was shocked to find that Gong Shanhe was also there.
The guards of the Classic Book Collection Pavilion were respectfully reporting something to Gong Shanhe in a low voice. When they saw Li Yan coming, Gong Shanhe waved to the team of guards.
When the guards saw that the person falling was Li Yan, they also saluted respectfully. The man who looked like the captain even crossed his hands and bowed.
"We've met Senior Li!"
Li Yan smiled and nodded. Then, the team of guards said no more and immediately went into stealth. It seemed that the Tianli tribe attached great importance to their own classics.
Li Yan could sense that in addition to this team of guards, there were also the auras of several powerful Jindan masters in secret.
The guards here are actually there to warn the people within the tribe. If outsiders want to get here, they must at least pass the spiritual sense of several elders of the Tianli tribe and the tribe's protective formation.
However, Li Yan also guessed that although the books and jade slips stored here are precious, treasures of such rare and secret level as the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", the clan treasure of the Tianli tribe, would definitely not be placed here, but must be placed in the most secret core place of the Tianli tribe.
"See what she wants to say today. If it doesn't work, I will also notify the Great Elder to come over!"
Just as the team of guards withdrew, Gong Shanhe glanced at Li Yan and walked towards the pavilion, but his voice appeared in Li Yan's mind.
There was also a decisiveness in his voice. It was obvious that Gong Shanhe did not want to waste time with the other party. He could have waited for a day, but the other party asked them to come over, which obviously meant that they had made some kind of decision.
Gong Shanhe's idea coincided with Li Yan's. As the future father-in-law and son-in-law, they should have something to talk about after returning.
However, due to the absence of Gong Chenying in the past few days, and with Li Yan under surveillance and Gong Shanhe recovering from his injuries, everyone has been busy with their own things.
When the two entered the pavilion, Hong Yin and Gong Chenying were walking slowly down from upstairs. Hong Yin also felt their arrival.
What surprised Li Yan and the others was Gong Chenying's appearance at this moment. She was still as cold and beautiful as ever, but she had a spear on her back, the same red spear that had always been placed beside Hong Yin.
Seeing Li Yan and the other person enter the first floor hall, Hong Yin stopped at the stairs. However, after looking at Hong Yin, Gong Chenying actually walked towards the two of them quickly alone.
This scene startled Li Yan and Gong Shanhe, but neither of them said anything and also stopped in the middle of the hall.
"Dad, I'm back!"
The moment Gong Chenying approached the two of them, a cold voice was heard.
Then, a scene that the two had not expected appeared. Gong Chenying's spiritual power appeared, but it only appeared for a moment before disappearing again.
As she looked at Li Yan, her voice transmission rang in Li Yan's mind.
"It's alright, Junior Brother!"
The fluctuation of her spiritual consciousness caused a gleam of light to flash in the eyes of Gong Shanhe and Li Yan at the same time.
After receiving Gong Chenying's message, Li Yan was still confused, but he believed that it should be true that the seal on Gong Chenying's consciousness had been removed.
However, he still planned to carefully explore the other party's sea of consciousness later, after getting Gong Chenying's consent, to make a final confirmation and determine whether he was safe.
Li Yan's thoughts were exactly the same as what Gong Shanhe was thinking at the moment. However, even though he was Gong Chenying's father, he still had to get Gong Chenying's consent. After all, his daughter had already grown up.
Li Yan did not speak, but took a few steps forward again and stood beside Gong Chenying, looking at Hong Yin again. At this time, Gong Shanhe's voice sounded in the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyin, it seems that you have gained a lot after reading the classics in my clan these few days. You believe what we said before! "
While looking at Hong Yin, he also glanced at Gong Chenying.
Hong Yin was still standing at the stairs, and she nodded slightly at Gong Shanhe.
"Even if you are acting, you have to be able to find wind beasts of different species to cooperate with you. I believe you don't have that ability yet!"
In fact, the moment Yansan and the others appeared that day, Hongyin already believed what Gong Shanhe and the others said.
Of course, she was very familiar with the nature of wind beasts, and the place where she stayed was the battlefield of both sides. She saw a large number of low-level wind beasts constantly trying to break through some of the opponent's formation defenses.
And in those formations, there were piled up a large number of wind beast corpses. With her spiritual sense, she concluded that they were definitely not illusions.
Moreover, she could also see the blood energy rising from the Great Wall of the Tianli tribe.
This is not something that can be faked by simply killing some people or monsters. This is the rich bloody aura that only appears after years of fighting between the two sides.
"Since there is no longer any rift between us, have you considered what I mentioned before?"
A smile appeared on Gong Shanhe's face.
"As a guest of your clan, will you help me find a body?"
On the steps, Hong Yin looked at Gong Shanhe quietly.
