After failing to find the two people for a long time, Gong Chenying began to feel suspicious. She was not sure whether Gong Shanhe had opened the restriction inside during his retreat, or had gone out.
But she already felt something was wrong in her heart. It couldn't be such a coincidence.
Then, she flew to the "Tianli Palace", where she indeed found people, but there were only two of them, the third elder and the fourth elder, and the rest were not there.
Before she could speak, the two of them knew why she came, and then told her some things...
"Two years ago, the Qionglin Gate disappeared overnight. Does this have anything to do with my father and the others
If they were related, they should have returned two years ago. Could they have been injured or met with some misfortune?"
On the top of the cliff, Gong Chenying was feeling a little upset.
Ever since Gong Shanhe and Li Yan left, the third elder spared no expense to find several Hyacinthians from the market town and asked them to collect a large amount of information about major events happening in the northern region. Every half a month, she would send people to bring back news.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion from others, so as not to make people think that the Tianli tribe is coveting something in the north, and to prevent the "Qionglin Sect" from planting spies and also investigating the news of the Tianli tribe.
The information she asked Hyacinthus to inquire about was about a large-scale event in the north, not the sea area where the "Qionglin Gate" was located. The people she sent out also covered up so that Hyacinthus would not have the chance to recognize them.
However, since the "Qionglin Gate" is too far away from the Tianli tribe, the news that the three elders received was all delayed. The earliest was several months ago, and some were even a year ago.
But Gong Shanhe had made very clear arrangements before he left. It was impossible for the entire Tianli tribe to be in chaos because of the second elder's affairs.
So even though they were anxious, she and the Fourth Elder had no choice but to stay in the tribe to protect their members while waiting for the First Elder to recover from his injuries.
So in this anxious wait, one year and four months after Gong Shanhe and Li Yan left, they finally received an important piece of news: "Qionglin Gate" disappeared overnight.
At this time, that sea area had become the target of many sects and wind beasts, and major battles occurred every day. The news also stated that the "Qionglin Sect" should have abandoned that sea area and left on their own.
Because, just the day before they left, they had a local battle with the "sea-breaking beast" in some sea areas, and the monks on both sides suffered injuries...
At the same time, the third elder and his companions found more suspicious points after carefully picking out the news from Hyacinthus.
One night a month before the departure of "Qionglin Sect", a great celestial phenomenon appeared in the northwest direction of its sect. The sky collapsed, the sea sank, a tsunami rolled back, the sky was full of rosy clouds, and even an extremely large "dragon sucking water" phenomenon appeared.
Some people speculated that there might be a rare treasure, and many monks rushed over, but they did not find any treasure. Instead, many monks suspected each other and fought fiercely, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries.
Another piece of news that the Third Elder and his team had figured out was that since that night, the "Qionglin Sect" had begun to attack the "Sea-Breaking Beast" continuously, and even a Nascent Soul battle had occurred...
After reading the news, the third elder and others connected it with the disappearance of "Qionglin Gate" a month later and came up with some relevant speculations.
The strange phenomena in heaven and earth that night were probably caused by the battle between top-level powerful beings. This kind of scene of sky collapse and sea collapse must have been caused by a cultivator with the strength of at least the Nascent Soul stage.
Later, the "Qionglin Sect" continued to actively attack the wind beasts. Are they trying hard to cover up something
They soon realized that this must be a cover-up for their lack of strength in order to create a usable environment for their sect to migrate.
That is to say, among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the "Qionglin Sect", some may be seriously injured, and it is difficult for them to recover, causing the high-end combat power with the "Sea-Breaking Beast" to be unbalanced, and they can only secretly migrate;
Once these situations were analyzed, the Third Elder and the others felt even more disappointed!
Gong Shanhe and the other man have not sent back any news. If it was really them who were responsible for the fight, and the "Qionglin Sect" was severely damaged and had to leave its base, then the situation for these two people must be not optimistic.
Afterwards, the third elder immediately sent out ten Jindan realm masters from the clan. After giving some instructions, he spared no expense in spending a huge amount of spirit stones to send them out by long-distance teleportation, and divided them into several directions to investigate as quickly as possible.
But when Gong Chenying came out of isolation and inquired, none of the ten people had returned.
At that time, Gong Chenying also suggested going over to check it out herself, but was stopped by the Third Elder, who took out two jade slips and handed them to her.
After Gong Chenying's consciousness sank into the jade slips, he fell into silence. The two jade slips were left by Gong Shanhe and Li Yan respectively.
Li Yan just told her not to worry and that he would definitely not do anything without confidence. He didn't say anything else and seemed very casual and relaxed.
Gong Shanhe asked her to listen to the Third Elder in everything. He had already guessed what decision his daughter might make after coming out of seclusion.
But with her ability, it might take her at least 10 to 20 years to reach the destination.
In that case, we can only use the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, which will inevitably use the resources of the clan, and the consumption is also quite astonishing...
But Gong Shanhe still didn't expect that the Third Elder's final decision would be to mobilize ten people to go out and search at once, and this matter also received strong support from the Fourth Elder. This situation rarely happened before.
When the Third Elder saw that Gong Chenying no longer insisted, he said a few words of comfort, saying that the ten people who had gone out should return one after another in the next few months...
After Gong Chenying returned with mixed feelings, she was able to listen to the teachings and practice with her master Hong Yin at first, but as month after month passed, she began to become uneasy.
The urge to go out and look for the two of them appeared in my heart again, and it became stronger and stronger.
Yesterday at midnight, Gong Chenying came to the top of the mountain and kept thinking about this matter, staring blankly at the ground below the clouds.
After being in a trance for a long time, she suddenly raised her head again and looked at the rising sun, which had changed from a touch of golden light to thousands of golden rays, with a determined expression on her face.
Gong Chenying decided that even if he had to sell all his belongings on the way, he would go and look for the two of them!
So, with no joy or sadness on her face, she stood up and flew towards her clan. She planned to say goodbye to her master and then leave on her own, and would not go to the Third Elder and others to explain.
Not long after, when Gong Chenying landed in front of a courtyard, the door of the courtyard opened automatically, and Hong Yin's somewhat illusory figure was standing quietly under a roof.
Seeing Gong Chenying slowly walking into the courtyard, Hong Yin remained calm and spoke first in a low voice.
"Want to go out?"
"Yes, Master!"
"Then go ahead! But I am alone now, and I can't give you anything else except the spear head that belongs to you."
"The grace of Master in teaching me is immense, and will benefit me for the rest of my life!"
The two people asked and answered each other, which was quick and concise.
When Gong Chenying raised her head again, her eyes were sincere. In addition to the "Red Lotus Burning Fire Sutra", the skills that Hong Yin taught her also included two extremely powerful attacking techniques.
"Go ahead. I can't go out with you in this state..."
Just when Hong Yin said this, she suddenly paused, and then a rare smile appeared on her face.
"You, don't have to go out..."
About half a cup of tea later, in the "Tianli Palace", the third elder, the fourth elder, Hong Yin and Gong Chenying all appeared here.
At the same time, two other figures appeared in the hall, namely Gong Shanhe sitting in the middle, and Li Yan sitting side by side with Gong Chenying.
This time, not only did Gong Shanhe and Li Yan return to the Tianli tribe, but there were also four Jindan cultivators from the Tianli tribe. These four people had gone out to look for the two of them in vain, and on their way back, they met them in front of two teleportation formations.
They were all in groups of two, fearing that once they got the news, they would encounter something unexpected. When these people saw Gong Shanhe, they were both surprised and delighted.
After asking what happened, Gong Shanhe could only smile bitterly in his heart, and then took them back together.
The Third Elder did not listen to him in the end and actually sent ten people out to the northern part of Fengshen Continent. That was ten people. How many spirit stones would it cost to go back and forth? Just thinking about it made his heart bleed.
On the way, Gong Shanhe and the others also learned that nothing had happened with the seal, and that the three tribes of wind beasts had been living in peace with the Tianli tribe in recent years. This finally put Gong Shanhe's mind at ease.
If something goes wrong with the seal due to the lack of experts in the clan, then this trip would be more trouble than it is worth.
As soon as Gong Shanhe and Li Yan returned to the tribe, they asked the four people to go back and rest, and then used their spiritual sense to explore various places in the tribe...
Inside the main hall, Gong Shanhe briefly recounted what had happened over the past few years. Of course, they had not spent much time actually fighting, as they had basically been recuperating from their injuries.
So, this matter was said quickly.
After Gong Shanhe finished speaking, except for Hong Yin who just looked at Li Yan in surprise, the three elders all took a deep breath.
First of all, they didn't expect that after Li Yan and the others arrived, they actually killed a strong man in the middle stage of the Yuanying period, and also caused the island master in the late stage of the Yuanying period to be seriously injured, which might cause him to slide down the realm;
Another point is that the fight between the two sides was short and dangerous. Although Gong Shanhe only mentioned it in a few words, that battle almost caused Gong Shanhe and Li Yan to die on the spot, with their limbs broken and their internal organs injured.
The situation was extremely dangerous. No wonder there was no news about the two of them.
It's just that the island master of "Qionglin Island" was forced to self-destruct his physical body and did not die on the spot, which made several people feel a little bit sorry. If the other party could lose two Nascent Souls at once, wouldn't that be better
However, they just thought about it like this, knowing that they were greedy and were in a situation where the snake swallowed the elephant.
Gong Shanhe was actually concerned about the final situation of the island master. He also didn't know what magical power Li Yan had displayed.
But Li Yan had already made it clear to him that even if the island master found a physical body to take over, he would no longer be a late-stage great cultivator.
Gong Shanhe was unable to ask in detail about this as it would involve the technique that Li Yan was practicing, which was a big taboo among cultivators.
But he could guess that Li Yan might have used the most mysterious three poisonous body powers of the Wuliang Sect, otherwise, Li Yan would not have such a confident expression.
It was not until this time that the third elder and his men finally connected the overnight migration of "Qionglin Gate" with the actual situation. It turned out that the other party chose to migrate in the end when half of their high-end combat power was gone and they could not gain a foothold at all.
"Therefore, we must be on guard against foreign monks in the future. If the 'Qionglin Sect' finds out the results, they may take the same crazy revenge!"
Gong Shanhe looked at several elders. He didn't want a situation like what happened in "Qionglin Sect" where someone sneaked into the sect.
Of course the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder agreed immediately. You must be kidding. If a Nascent Soul cultivator goes crazy and disregards his status, just killing any clan member entering or leaving the clan would bring endless trouble. You might not be able to catch up with him.
Seeing this, Li Yan smiled and snapped his fingers. A flash of light appeared on the ground, and two things appeared: a lifeless body and a Nascent Soul with an exploded head.
It was actually the true body and Nascent Soul of the Three Island Masters!
After seeing this, Gong Shanhe glanced at Li Yan, who had no intention of speaking. He could only point to the ground and continue speaking.
"This is the Third Island Master. Arrange it immediately today and hold a heavenly sacrifice for the Second Elder tomorrow!"
When he was at the bottom of the sea, Li Yan had taken out these two things for him to confirm, and wanted Gong Shanhe to put them away, but Gong Shanhe was unwilling.
But now, Li Yan only took the things and didn't speak, still wanting Gong Shanhe to point them out. As for Yang Youxian, he was squeezed into a bloody mist by Gong Shanhe at the bottom of the deep sea.
After arranging all this, everyone dispersed, and then Li Yan and Gong Chenying left together. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they had a lot of secrets to tell each other...
On the second day, among the Tianli tribe, except for the monks who were on patrol that day, who were temporarily taken over by Hong Yin and Li Yan, who continued to patrol and protect the tribe.
After each branch of the clan was personally selected by several elders, the clan allowed 500 monks and 500 warriors to enter the ancestral land.
These people did not know what they were going to do in the ancestral land, but they all knew that there were only two things that could happen when they entered the ancestral land. One was that something big had happened in the clan; the other was that they would pass on the last three levels of the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique".
But obviously, this situation can only be the first one.
Gong Shanhe had carefully considered letting Li Yan and Hong Yin temporarily take charge of the safety of the Tianli tribe. All their elders had to enter the ancestral land, and the outside world had to be guarded by people they trusted.
Hong Yin is Gong Chenying's master, so logically there shouldn't be any problems. And with Li Yan's addition, there won't be any problems.
No one doubts Li Yan's fighting ability or attitude towards the Tianli tribe anymore.
Moreover, these two people have no right to enter the ancestral land of the Tianli tribe. Li Yan will be qualified only after he truly becomes the "King Qing'a" in the future, but that is a story for later.
Li Yan's attitude towards whether to enter the ancestral land of the Tianli tribe this time is actually indifferent. This so-called heavenly sacrifice is a blood sacrifice with the blood of the enemy.
He wasn't mentally twisted, but he had no interest in seeing it. However, if he was allowed to go in, he would like to go in and take a look. However, he just wanted to know what the other party's ancestral land looked like
Gong Chenying had told him before that in order to inherit the last three levels of the "Qiongqi Purgatory Technique", one must enter the ancestral land.
Yesterday, Gong Chenying also explained to him briefly that under normal circumstances, anyone who wanted to enter the ancestral land could only be a person who inherited the martial arts.
However, for celestial sacrifices like this, clan members are only allowed to enter the ancestral land as an exception under special circumstances. However, they can only enter the outer square of the ancestral land and cannot go deeper.
The true entrance to the ancestral land may currently be known by only the Great Elder. Of course, this is to prevent the secret from being lost due to the death of one person.
As the clan leader, Gong Shanhe should have a jade slip with the method to open it, but there is a seal on it. Even Gong Shanhe, the clan leader, cannot open it easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
