Sure enough, after Yan Motian and Lin Mingyu heard what Xia Hua and the other two said, their eyes flickered, and finally they turned their gaze to Yin Congfeng in the distance, obviously asking for his opinion.
Of course Yin Congfeng also heard what Xia Hua Jian Wang and the other two said. He stood there expressionlessly, as if listening to something. After a while, he clasped his fists to Elder Peng and the others from a distance.
"Please forgive me, I have something to do, so I won't see you off!"
After saying that, he immediately took off into the air and flew towards the secret realm first.
Seeing this, Yan Motian and Lin Mingyu understood that Yin Congfeng had received the message from the ancestor, and they smiled.
"Elder Peng, please!"
When Elder Peng heard Yin Congfeng say this with a fist clasped, he felt relieved and returned the salute. He no longer looked at the disappointed eyes of Xia Hua Jian Wang and the others, but flicked his long sleeves, and a hideous monster with a ghost face appeared on the top of the mountain, shouting loudly.
"let's go!"
With one step in the air, he had already flown above the monster's head. After hearing the order, the monks of the Wuliang Sect looked at each other and then took off into the air together.
Yan Motian and Lin Mingyu laughed and flew towards the monster. When Elder Peng's monster saw the two demon cultivators flying towards them, it actually showed a look of fear. However, the two monsters ignored them and flew up directly.
After flying up, Lin Mingyu lowered his head to take another look and tapped the monster with his toes.
"I think Elder Peng will be even more powerful if he has this beast by his side."
When Lin Mingyu touched its toes, the monster's huge body shook, and it couldn't help but growl, with fear in its eyes becoming even stronger.
"It's just a second-level silver-fanged dragon rhino. Although it's hard to find outside the secret realm, it's very common inside the secret realm. Then let's go. I'll have to trouble you two later."
Elder Peng felt distressed when he saw his spirit beast in pain. He spoke lightly and did not mention the matter again. He saw the disciples of the Wangliang Sect rushing in one after another, and the mountain where they were was already empty.
Elder Peng immediately tapped the monster's head with his toes, but his movement was extremely light, not like Lin Mingyu's stepping on it. The silver-fanged dragon rhino let out a long roar and flew away from the top of the mountain.
On several other mountain peaks, people were chasing in the direction of Yin Congfeng amidst bursts of whistling sounds.
In a moment, only empty mountains and endless sky were left here!
But no one noticed that after everyone left, a huge human face appeared on the surface of the spherical mountain, watching the two departing teams. It was Pingtu.
He stared at the direction where Li Yan disappeared for a while, and slowly, the huge face turned into a large forest again.
Just talking about Elder Peng's journey, he was really as fast as lightning. Along the way, only a few elders standing on the head of the monster occasionally whispered a few words to the two monsters. None of the Foundation Building and Qi Condensation disciples who followed spoke.
Many of them were still immersed in the shock of the recent incident. The shrill screams and the appearance of Hangzhi and the others who looked like evil spirits made them terrified. For a moment, everyone lost the desire to talk.
The joy of winning the first and second place and returning had long been diluted. Looking at the monster's back which was mostly empty, many people thought of their dead fellow disciples and were filled with a faint sadness.
When Li Yan and Gong Chenying flew onto the back of the monster, they stood together with Li Wuyi and the others, looking at the rapidly receding scenery on both sides, knowing that they would soon reach the entrance to the secret realm.
After a few simple whispers, the few of them agreed to meet at Li Yanzhu Courtyard to talk after leaving the secret realm, and then they all looked ahead quietly.
Li Changting looked at Li Yan with interest, then looked at Zhao Min who was lowering her head beside him, her phoenix eyes blinking non-stop.
When Li Wuyi saw Li Changting like this, he hurriedly took a few steps to the side, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and started meditating.
Gong Chenying was looking at the passing scenery outside with a complicated expression, seemingly thinking about something, but if you pay attention, you can see that she kept glancing at Zhao Min from time to time, who was lowering her head, revealing her snow-white neck.
A few times, she seemed to want to open her lips to convey her feelings, but in the end she kept her lips tightly closed, with the wandering look in her eyes becoming even more intense.
What Gong Chenying didn't notice was that behind her, Yun Chunqu was leaning against Wei Chituo with a relaxed look on his face. His injuries seemed to have improved a lot. He stared at the slender figure infatuatedly.
Wei Chituo knew what he was thinking, his big eyes moving around, looking forward at Gong Chenying, then looking down at Yun Chun.
After Zhao Min stood together with Li Yan and the others, she just nodded and greeted them. After listening to a few simple whispers from them, she lowered her head and looked at her toes. Her long ponytail also bent into a bow, as if she was thinking about something.
When Li Yan saw Zhao Min nod slightly to her, he scratched his head involuntarily, then stole a glance at Gong Chenying. Seeing that Gong Chenying was as cold as usual, without any ripples at all, he somehow felt relieved.
At this time, at the Jindan Elder's place in front, Lin Mingyu had sweat on his forehead and was constantly responding to Li Yuyin's questions.
"Master Lin, what's wrong? The world outside the secret realm is even wider. With your ability, you can really soar to the sky and dominate the world! Besides, there are tens of millions of beautiful women in the outside world. Even occasionally, I can accompany you for a few drinks."
Li Yuyin's soft and tender voice made the hearts of the monks nearby beat faster.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's just that the master is very strict. My cultivation is not high enough, so I am not allowed to go out. I am not allowed to go out!"
Lin Mingyu's face turned pale as she spoke repeatedly.
In just a short while, this charming woman in front of him had asked him out several times, but he always felt uneasy.
"Mr. Lin, do you know that I have an old relationship with Hang Zhi from the Taixuan Sect? I heard that she has a younger sister who is more conservative and prettier. I can ask them to come out together..."
"Oh, yes, yes, but after I finish what Master Tonggui has told me to do today, he still has something urgent for me to do..."
Lin Mingyu had already opened her folding fan and was fanning herself non-stop.
Yan Motian had already heard the goosebumps on his body, and he took a few steps and stood far away, talking loudly with Master Yi Feng, wishing that his voice could directly cover the voices of the two. Elder Peng and others showed strange smiles on their faces, and quietly distanced themselves from Lin Mingyu and Li Yuyin.
Not long after, Li Yan and his companions felt that the speed of the monster beneath them slowed down suddenly. Many people looked forward one after another. The blurry scenery outside became very clear as the speed of the Silver Fanged Dragon Rhino slowed down greatly.
But they saw that they were now flying over a large grassland, and the dense forest on the edge of the grassland in the distance ahead was already faintly visible.
After Li Yan saw the scene in front of him clearly again, he felt a little excited for no reason, as if a traveler had seen his long-lost home.
Although they had only been here for a month, there were nearly a hundred people when they left, but only about forty were left when they returned. This inevitably made people feel more nostalgic and homesick.
The speed of the Silver-fanged Dragon Rhino was astonishingly fast. The forest that was vaguely visible just now was now covered with lush greenery. They arrived at the edge of the grassland in an instant. After circling, the Silver-fanged Dragon Rhino slowly landed its huge body in the half-man-deep grass.
While the Silver-fanged Dragon Rhino was still descending, a figure quickly flew away, accompanied by a burst of laughter.
"Since we are here, as the head of the family, I should be the one to open the passage. Master Li, we can discuss other matters later."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a very graceful figure flying into the air from the back of the Silver-fanged Dragon Rhino and shooting straight into the void at the edge of the grassland. It was Lin Mingyu.
At this moment, when Lin Mingyu entered the sky, he felt like a fish entering the sea or a flying dragon in the sky, feeling indescribably free and unrestrained.
And the peak master of Buli Peak below had a smile on his face and looked at Lin Mingyu in the air with blurry eyes. This made Lin Mingyu, who just felt like breathing free air, shiver and hurriedly flew towards the passage.
The moment Lin Mingyu turned around, the smile on Li Yuyin's lips turned into a sneer, the confusion in her eyes disappeared, and she snorted in her heart.
"Humph, this monster is quite smart. It refuses to leave the secret realm..."
Elder Peng and the others smiled when they saw Lin Mingyu had already flown out, and made a gesture of invitation to Yan Motian. Yan Motian touched his nose, shook his head slightly, and flew out directly.
… … …
Li Yan felt dizzy again. Amidst the bizarre light and the interweaving of black and white, he felt his feet stop and stepped on the hard ground.
At the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak, on the Tianbei Square, dozens of figures flashed out one by one and slowly solidified into reality.
Li Yan took a deep breath. The air here was a little mixed, and the spiritual energy was much weaker than in the secret realm.
It was already past noon. Li Yan looked at the undulating dark green bamboo forest in front of him. He felt an incomparable intimacy in his heart and his body completely relaxed in an instant.
Although the spiritual energy here is not as good as that of the secret realm, looking at the sky, the land, and the familiar continuous bamboo forest, an extremely familiar feeling comes to one, making one want to shout out loud.
"Okay, all of you can go back to your respective peaks, recuperate or recover. You have made great contributions to the sect this time. Whether it is the secret realm trial or the wheel of life and death, it is the one that has gained the most in the past hundred years of experience.
I will explain everything to the sect one by one. The sect reward ceremony will be held soon and you will be notified then.
Baili Yuan, Gan Shi, and Gong Chenying will stay and go with us to Laojun Peak. There are some things that need to be explained in detail."
Just as Li Yan was thinking, the voice of Elder Peng was heard. He and Elder Yi finally took a step out of the black and white vortex. When talking about the gains from the trial, they all had excitement on their faces that they could not hide.
"Oh, did you get a lot this time? What did you get?"
Before everyone could say anything, a child's voice rang out, and after a twist, the vortex of the black and white passage stopped spinning, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a twenty-foot-long, wordless, colorful stone tablet.
A child's face appeared on it, with a cunning look on his face that he thought others could not see.
"Senior Tianbei, the resources opened this time have been given to you. As for the gains in the secret realm, I have no right to tell you, but you can ask Patriarch Da Cen."
Elder Peng frowned when he heard this.
"I'm just saying it for fun. I don't want yours. Is that not okay?"
When the child heard the words of Patriarch Da Cen, a look of fear appeared on his face.
"It's not that we can't, it's that we don't have the power to do so." Elder Peng looked at the Heavenly Stele.
"Okay, okay, it's okay if it doesn't work. As if anyone wants to know, then you guys should leave quickly. I still need to sleep. Hurry up!"
The child's face suddenly said with some impatience.
Li Yan was stunned by the sudden change of expression. Elder Peng and others seemed to be used to it and no one showed any resentment. Many of them started looking for people from their own mountains and after gathering together, they prepared to leave.
After Elder Peng and his companions glanced at the Heavenly Stele, they took the lead and walked forward, with Baili Yuan and the other two following closely behind the Golden Elixir cultivators.
Li Yan and the others immediately bowed and saluted, but when they walked past Li Yan and the others, Gong Chenying, who was walking at the end, hesitated for a moment, paused, and then took a sideways step to Zhao Min's side.
Under Zhao Min's puzzled gaze, she leaned over to Zhao Min's ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"He...he, when he was treating me...he saw the belly button ring."
Then, in Zhao Min's astonished eyes, she saw Gong Chenying with a slightly flushed face. After quickly glancing at Li Yan, he quickly walked away.
