At the same time, among the "Wind Goose Beast" tribe, there was a huge cave in a valley near the "Sky Eye Pit".
At this moment in the cave, Yan San was talking to three fourth-level wind beasts.
“What the hell is the Tianli tribe doing? When we signed the contract, they didn’t say we had to wait this long
They said it would be delayed, so they delayed it. They only gave the reason that they needed time to prepare, but they didn't say what they were going to prepare. This shows that they don't trust us, so how can we talk about full cooperation?"
The fourth-level wind beast of the "Wind Iron Beast" clan said dissatisfiedly.
In the past five months, they could neither attack nor know what the other side was preparing, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Brother Yan, they have been preparing all the time. Could it be that there is still a big problem with the sealing magic weapon?"
The strong man from the "Wind Beast" tribe spoke. They also participated in the negotiations that day and understood the situation, but the more they waited afterwards, the more they felt that the Tianli tribe did not seem to have that much confidence.
"Who can be sure of sealing a fifth-level wind beast? They need time to prepare, which I think is normal!"
Yan San glanced at the other party. The Great Elder told him that it would take half a year to prepare fully, which was actually reasonable. This kind of thing could not afford any mistakes.
However, wind beasts have always been extremely aggressive. After waiting for a few months, the other fourth-level wind beasts will think more and more, including himself, who is also guessing various possibilities.
"Then can we grab it and seal it ourselves sometime?"
There was a gleam in the eyes of the other fourth-level wind beast, and Yan San immediately looked at the other party as if he were an idiot.
"Let's not talk about whether you can snatch it or not. Do you dare to face the eye of the 'Sky Eye Wind' in your clan? Don't always think about eating the other party, unless you don't want to live forever and don't want to trade cultivation resources with them in the future.
If we didn't have the 'Sky Eye Pit', it would be a question whether our three tribes could survive. Now that Li Yan has appeared, the decisive combat power of both sides is completely unequal."
Yan San wondered if this "Wind Iron Beast" had been able to cultivate to this level solely by virtue of its talent, and if its head was just a pile of scrap metal.
He was about to embark on the path to immortality. Last time, he had finally reached some agreements with the Tianli tribe. If those agreements were to be spread out, other wind beast races would be shocked.
Both parties used spirit stones or materials unique to the "Sky Eye Pit" to trade for cultivation resources. Once word of this spread, the Tianli tribe would be under tremendous pressure.
After all, they are strengthening the wind beast race in disguise, but the great elder of the Tianli tribe also said that they did not collude with the wind beasts to kill other creatures. On the Wind God Continent, whether one can survive or not depends on one's own ability.
In fact, for every sect or race in each area, if you have the ability, you can resist the wind beasts there. If you don’t have the ability and your clan is wiped out by the wind beasts, you can only blame your bad luck.
Other sects would not dare to send experts to rescue, as that would leave their rear empty.
There is only one reason. In the Wind God Continent, the overall strength and number of wind beasts far exceed those of other races, and you have no time to help others.
Even with a relationship like that between Zhuo Lingfeng and Li Yan, he could at most come here alone and would not dare to use other masters in the temple.
"Anyway, half a year is almost up!!"
Yan San said that he was actually anxious as well. The nature of wind beasts was to fight, and after several months of silence, the tribesmen below became restless.
Fortunately, the Tianli tribe had traded with the three tribes three times and released some cultivation resources. After some wind beasts below obtained the resources, they began to feel more at ease.
Even the resources that the Tianli tribe did not have could be purchased from the outside world. The Tianli tribe also obtained some raw materials from the Fengshou tribe and received the same benefits.
Yan San and his friends had no time to practice in the past few months. They often gathered together to drink and chat. As wind beasts themselves, the existence of the wind beast underground undoubtedly made them feel uneasy.
At this moment, Yan San's expression suddenly changed slightly.
In his consciousness, a ray of light came rapidly from the horizon, and in a flash it was in front of the cave, and then it flew around and crashed in the formation restrictions. It was a sound transmission talisman.
Inside the cave, Yan San waved his hand lightly, and a beam of light flew in from the cave entrance and was caught by him. The others immediately looked over.
As Yan San poured his magic power into his hands, an old voice suddenly sounded in the cave.
"Friend Yan, we will set out at 11:00 AM tomorrow. There are only Li Yan and I on this side, so you can arrange your own companions!"
The next day, in front of the Tianli tribe's defense line, the sun had not yet risen in the sky, and there was still a faint green light in the sky. Some stars were dotted and shining in the dark blue sky, making the whole scenery hazy and fresh as the early morning.
Gong Shanhe and Gong Chenying were talking to Li Yan, while the Great Elder was standing alone in the void on the side, leaning on the shiny cane, looking at the hazy distant mountains and stars, as if recalling his youthful days.
There were no other elders nearby, only the four of them.
While they were talking, suddenly a black light came rapidly from the sky, and in a flash, it was in front of them.
Afterwards, Yan San in a black robe appeared in front of them. As always, he had an indifferent look on his face and an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
Just as Li Yan and the other two stopped talking, the Great Elder had already retracted his gaze into the distance, smiling.
"Why, are you going there alone?"
Yan San's eyes were still cold, and not much emotion could be heard in his tone.
"Will it be helpful if other people go?"
"Haha, Brother Yan is right!!"
The Great Elder was not angry at his attitude and continued to smile.
"Can we go now?"
Yan San still spoke coldly, and then looked towards Li Yan. He didn't seem to care at all that there were more people here than in the sound transmission talisman.
"Senior Sister, I think we'll be back in about a month!"
Li Yan said to Gong Chenying,
Although Gong Chenying's face remained calm, there was worry in her eyes.
The three of them were discussing here just now, and Gong Shanhe also wanted to go over. He wanted to get close to the eye of the storm, and then one of him or Li Yanzhong would enter the spirit storage bag, and the other would take them to the eye of the storm.
If you need help during the seal, you will come out directly.
However, Li Yan still refused on the grounds that the space near the eye of the storm was unstable and that using space-related magic weapons might lead to unpredictable situations.
Li Yan has too many secrets that he doesn't want to be seen by others. With the improvement of his current strength, he already knows how powerful the late stage of the Five Immortal Sect's skills are, but the characteristics are also becoming more and more obvious.
If he encounters any problems on this trip, he can hide in the "Earth Spot". Then, as long as he is blown away from the eye of the storm by the "Eye of the Sky Wind", he still has a great hope of escaping.
What he feared the most was that the "Eye of the Sky Wind" would sweep him back into the eye of the wind. This situation was the most terrifying. Even a cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of spiritual enlightenment might never return from the underground of the "Eye of the Sky Pit". He could not hide in the "Earth Spot" for the rest of his life.
In the early stage, they had confirmed with Yan San a lot about the situation deep in the "Tianyankeng". The wind direction there was chaotic, but in most cases it was blowing upwards and erupting, which was good news.
As long as he was not dragged back into the bottom of the pit, Li Yan was still confident that he could escape on his own, but he must not bring anyone else with him. Li Yan now told Gong Chenying that it would take a month to go back and forth, and that Yan San would use the flying magic weapon he refined to go there, which was said to be not much slower than his own flying body.
The "Flying Goose Beast" clan is known for its speed. One can imagine the speed of a flying magic weapon taken out by a fourth-level peak wind beast.
"Let's go now!"
When Li Yan saw Yan San's gaze sweeping over him, he answered without hesitation.
Yan San said no more and waved his hand. A black feather floated out from his hand and instantly turned into a size of more than ten feet.
He didn't even look at the others anymore, and in one step, he stepped on it.
The next moment, Li Yan and the Great Elder flew up at the same time, and in a blur, their figures were already stepping on the black feather.
Afterwards, Yan San no longer looked at Gong Shanhe and his daughter. He tapped the black feather with his toes, and in an instant, the three of them turned into black dots and flew into the distant blue sky, leaving only the two of them standing there.
Gong Shanhe frowned and said nothing, while Gong Chenying stared at the empty sky in the distance, lost in thought and focused, like a lonely shadow in the early morning...
In the void, the Great Elder and Yan San were whispering in the front, while Li Yan was sitting cross-legged alone in the back.
The way the two people in front were talking made it impossible for others to imagine that a few months ago, they were mortal enemies who would not stop fighting until one of them died.
Although Yan San was still cold, he would answer every question asked by the Great Elder.
"We must try our best to protect Fellow Daoist Li and keep him close to the eye of the storm. We must make him use less defensive magic weapons so that the magic weapons can maintain sufficient power."
The Great Elder said that although they didn’t know what other cards Li Yan had in his hand, they thought it was a defensive magic weapon similar to the “Yuanqi Taiqing Formation”. Once it was used, it would be continuously consumed.
Of course, the Great Elder wanted Li Yan to be deployed as late as possible.
"No need to remind me again and again. I will do my part and seal him. I will not forget this goal!"
Yan San said, the Great Elder just smiled, and then he began to explain the plan in detail.
Of course, if the two sides fail to reach an agreement this time, Li Yan plans to use the "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation" on the "Chuanyun Willow" himself, and then use other means to replace it after approaching the eye of the storm.
But since Yan San was here, he certainly couldn't let the other party watch him. He had to act according to the plans of both parties, which would also save him some mana.
… …
Half a month later, at the bottom of the swamp, there was an endless dark space below. Li Yan and the other two sank all the way down. It was the same here as before, with all kinds of chaotic wind columns flying and stirring constantly, but they were not enough to threaten the three of them.
The three people who were sinking remained silent, and poured their magical powers into their feet, sinking downwards at a faster speed. They just wanted to reach their destination as soon as possible.
One day later, they came to the place that seemed to be clearly divided. The three of them were suspended in the air, with a column of wind swaying regularly below them.
"Is the place below where the fifth-level wind beast is sealed?"
This is the first time the Great Elder comes here.
"Well, if you continue to sink, you will be attacked by more powerful wind columns. The more you go down, the more powerful the wind columns will be. You may also be attacked by the wind beast's clone. All of this is related to Fellow Daoist Hongyin's seal."
Li Yan said.
"After sinking through these regular wind columns, it will be the outlet of the 'eye of the sky wind' at the bottom, but the core eye of the wind may not be right under our feet."
Yan San continued.
"Then how do we find the eye of the storm?"
The Great Elder’s spiritual consciousness probed downwards, but was soon crushed by the wind column below.
"Sense where the wind column is most powerful, and we'll go there!"
Yan San curled his lips, not understanding such a simple truth, while the Great Elder chuckled.
"Okay, let's go down. If Brother Li feels that we need to join forces to defend, you only need to send a message."
The Great Elder said this tactfully, implying that when Li Yan felt that he could not defend himself, he and Yan San would help him so that he would not have to use the power of magic weapons.
"Thank you, fellow Taoists!"
Li Yan just thanked them calmly and bowed slightly to the two of them.
Afterwards, Yan San fell directly towards the wind pillars that were swinging regularly below like a black line. The Great Elder and Li Yan looked at each other, and then they no longer hesitated and fell directly...
About three hours later, the area around Li Yan was already extremely cold and chaotic. During these three hours, the three of them flew to wherever the wind column under their feet was most powerful.
Li Yan's heart palpitations were so strong that his consciousness was unstable. This was the result of wandering on the edge of life and death for many years. It was a special sense of death that he had.
Under normal circumstances, this is an extremely rare and even proud trump card for any cultivator, as it can save his life at the critical moment.
But now it has become a burden, which forces Li Yan to suppress it from time to time. His sea of consciousness keeps sending extremely dangerous signals, and he has to work hard to fall towards the most dangerous place.
Under normal circumstances, he might have sunk a certain distance, and then would have risen up quickly like last time, breaking the surrounding wind column...
The wind column here has become very small and can no longer cover people. At the same time, large flakes of black snowflakes appear. These snowflakes are not falling from above, but are blown up from under the feet like endless petals.
Each of these black snowflakes is the size of a bowl and still looks like light wool, but when each one blows onto Li Yan and the others, it will stick to their body surface and will not melt.
When he first saw these snowflakes, Li Yan thought that these black snowflakes might cover his entire body and quickly wrap him up.
Finally, the cold itself or more accumulated cold will continue to penetrate into the body, or even cut directly like a blade.
However, after just a few breaths, he realized that he had guessed wrong. After these black snowflakes covered his body surface, they actually began to rotate one by one, just like black flywheels were turned on outside Li Yan's body.
As the flywheel rotates, it will merge into the nearby black flywheels and slowly turn into a larger black flywheel…
Soon, Li Yan knew the consequences of these black snowflakes.
As the black snowflakes on his body surface spun rapidly, the magic power in Li Yan's body became somewhat uncontrollable and began to flow through his meridians.
The magic power no longer circulated according to the circulation of the body, but was affected, rushing east and west, like countless rats entering a long tube, constantly crashing into the surroundings.
He tried to escape from the restraint of the long tube as quickly as possible. Once his magic power was out of control, the protective light shield on Li Yan's body immediately became fragile!
