Li Yan touched his nose and nodded with a smile, "Brother, what you said is very likely. After that, after that senior killed two demon cultivators, I was about to beg him to come over and take action again.
But the senior said that everything was fine here and asked me to come back on my own. He said he had other things to do and then left.
As Senior Brother Yan said, that senior is really paying attention to the situation here all the time, but we can't let our guard down because of this.
The master's sect can send people out to help secretly, but I think they have to worry about the appearance of Jindan cultivators, which will attract the other party's attention to this mission. Otherwise, they would not arrange people like us to fish in troubled waters.
We must put all our efforts into everything we do from now on, and we must not make things worse."
Li Yan felt that the reasons given by Yan Feijun were really plausible, but he was also afraid that several people would really think that there was a Jindan cultivator secretly helping them and lose their vigilance, which would then be counterproductive.
Therefore, Li Yan changed the subject and made a comment.
After hearing what Li Yan said, although they did not completely believe it, they thought about it again and determined that Li Yan did not have the ability to kill two fake Dan demon cultivators in such a short time.
If this is true, then doesn't it mean that Junior Brother Li possesses the strength to instantly crush those of the same level? That would be too absurd.
Although Bai Rou nodded ignorantly, she truly believed in her heart that Uncle Wei and the others had secretly sent people to protect her.
But just now at the beginning, she thought that Li Yan was so confident in leading the evil cultivator away that he must have some powerful magic weapon bestowed by Uncle Wei to protect himself.
So when she saw Li Yan returning for the first time just now, she thought that Li Yan really used the power of the magic weapon to kill the two demons, just like she had a small piece of jade ruler given by Elder Chi Gong on her body.
When his life is in danger, he just needs to use it. That small piece of jade ruler can carry 70% of the power of Elder Chi Gong in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. It is so powerful that it can destroy mountains as easily as melting snow.
"Oh, Senior Brother Yan, your injury is not light, right?"
Li Yan didn't want to dwell on this topic too much. He quickly looked at Yan Feijun, who looked pale and had a weak breath, and said.
“Alas, the fake Dan cultivator on the other side not only has extremely powerful magic, but also has three fat khaki worms, which is very weird.
Although it is only a first-class monster, its body is extremely tough. Even our magic weapons cannot hurt it at all. Junior Brother Yan was not careful and fell into the trap of the opponent. "
When King Hu Xiao saw Yan Feijun's eyes flash with unwillingness when Li Yan mentioned Yan Feijun's injury, he knew that this had aroused Yan Feijun's pain, so he hurriedly spoke up to help explain, but what he said was generally true.
However, he was also glad that he had set up the formation in advance, so that he could win by ambushing the opponent in the end.
Now King Hu Xiao remembered that even if Wang Changkun had not sacrificed the three "Falling Sand Beasts", it would still be difficult for him and Bai Rou to kill them in a short period of time.
I don’t know where these monks come from, but the same simple magic skills become several times more powerful in their hands.
Just now, when they saw that there was no trace of the cultivators left in the formation, Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun both regretted that they had been too harsh. Otherwise, they could have obtained the things in the other party's storage bag, which might include some jade slips of cultivation techniques, allowing them to obtain the other party's cultivation method.
Although their Ninth Team had encountered several foreign cultivators before, none of them had the cultivation level of Wang Changkun. Most of them were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and they had even encountered foreign cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage.
Moreover, the jade slips found on them were actually engraved with the skills and magic arts of a certain sect of cultivators in the South China Sea. For the disciples of the Wangliang Sect, they were of much less use.
Therefore, these jade slips were finally converted into spirit stones in exchange for those recruited monks. This time, when they went deep into the border of the demon army, they encountered masters like Wang Changkun on the way. The power of his skills made Hu Xiaowang and Yan Feijun jealous.
He thought that with Wang Changkun's level of cultivation, there should be jade slips of martial arts techniques in those corroded storage bags. However, because he was worried about Li Yan's situation, he poisoned them in a hurry without considering the consequences.
After this incident, King Hu Xiao and Yan Feijun secretly agreed that if they meet foreign monks again next time, they must try their best to ensure the integrity of their storage bags.
But the facts proved that their actions were almost in vain, but they still got a lot of spirit stones.
The reason is actually very simple. Wang Changkun and his family have lived on a huge meteorite for almost generations. How could the jade slips be unearthed in such a turbulent space
In fact, there are still about a thousand jade slips they left, but they are all in the hands of some people in the highest level, and after being consumed by generations, they have almost been consumed.
Although the three ancestors tried their best to avoid using jade slips, by the time the South China Sea passage was opened, there would be no more than four blank jade slips on the entire meteorite.
Therefore, if you want to use the jade slips on the meteorite, you can only do so if you have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and there may be a certain chance that you can use it. For example, Wang Changkun's father, even though he was an early Nascent Soul cultivator, had never seen a jade slip in his life.
Most of their skills were passed down orally or engraved on pieces of meteorite fragments, which resulted in many ancient skills being lost in the inheritance of Wang Changkun and others.
The skills of low-level cultivators like Wang Changkun are all recorded in their sea of consciousness, and can only be found through soul searching.
Even when foreign cultivators later invaded the South China Sea together with the demonic cultivators, they still had not gotten used to using jade slips. The most they could do was snatch the jade slips from the South China Sea cultivators and use them for reference.
However, to their disappointment, the skills and magic arts of the South China Sea monks were more like castrated ancient magic arts, and many sects' mantras were even half-baked.
Wang Changkun and his companions were all wondering how these sects succeeded in building their foundations. It was already quite good if they could breathe in and out enough spiritual energy during the Qi Condensation Stage. So most of these foreign cultivators threw away the jade slips, but some of the jade slips with unique techniques were still kept by them.
Compared with jade slips, foreign cultivators are more interested in the storage bags and spirit stones in the hands of the South China Sea cultivators. These two things are simply a great blessing to them.
They had only heard of the existence of these two things before, but never dared to hope that they could possess them. Since they obtained them, they really felt that they had endless uses.
They no longer have to worry about collecting something. The previous behavior of either tying it to their body or hiding it in their clothes was really primitive. Especially when they have a spiritual stone, even if it is just a low-level spiritual stone, they are extremely excited. They no longer have to wait for the spiritual power to be consumed and unable to replenish it quickly.
So almost everyone like Wang Changkun carried more than a dozen storage bags, most of which were filled with spirit stones. This was just like the poor people who were afraid of hunger.
"Three first-level monsters?"
There was confusion in Li Yan's eyes. At this time, Sun Guoshu stepped forward and explained a few words to Li Yan in a low voice. Only then did Li Yan understand the terrifying toughness of the "Falling Sand Beast"'s body.
Li Yan couldn't help but think that if he took action himself, he didn't know if he could directly kill this strange monster.
In fact, Li Yan rushed over quickly after killing Wu Yuan, but when he returned to the forest, the battle between Bai Rou and the others had already ended, and it was the time when Wang Changkun and the other four were trapped in the four-man killing formation.
Seeing this scene, Li Yan, who had originally come quietly to launch a sneak attack on Wang Changkun, no longer showed up.
Li Yan used the technique of "stealth and hiding at night" and had been lying in ambush nearby. If Wang Changkun and the others still had a way to escape from the formation, Li Yan would launch a sneak attack at the first opportunity.
As for the fact that sneak attacks are not upright behavior, Li Yan has never had such a concept in his mind. He doesn't care what means he uses to kill the enemy.
The simplest, most effective and effortless attack was the method Li Yan chose first.
Until he saw that Wang Changkun and the other four had died in the formation, Li Yan thought about it and still did not show up immediately.
He felt that since he had killed two demon cultivators and had suddenly appeared, there would be a lot of unnecessary explanations, so he quietly flew back for a distance before showing up to greet Bai Rou and the others.
"I have never heard of this monster. It must be a monster unique to these foreign continents. We must report this news back to Fengliang Mountain when we have time, so that other teams will not suffer a great loss if they encounter it."
Li Yan thought for a moment, then looked at the horizon. It was already early morning since they had escaped.
He waved his robe sleeves, and the Cloud Piercing Willow appeared at his feet. "Let's leave quickly, it will be the third day soon!"
In the next two days, Li Yan and his companions were more careful. Sun Guoshu still explored the way ahead from time to time. It was not known whether it was luck or the result of their caution.
Although the speed was much slower, we finally arrived at the halfway point of a mountain three miles north of "Zhou Yang Town" at the hour of You on the fifth day, from where we could overlook the entire "Zhou Yang Town".
After they sneaked all the way here, they hid here. At the same time, everyone's aura was completely concealed. In addition, Yan Feijun set up a small set of concealment illusion array around the few people.
If there hadn't been a Jindan cultivator who deliberately used his spiritual sense to search every inch, it would have been impossible to discover the presence of the five of them.
At this time, the broken wrist of Yan Feijun's left hand had already scabbed over. Only after he formed an elixir in the future could the broken limb be regenerated. Or he could go back and spend expensive spirit stones to buy an elixir to restore the broken limb, and it would be able to be restored.
However, Yan Feijun's whole spirit had recovered at this time. On the way here, whenever they could use the Piercing Cloud Willow, they would sit cross-legged on it to regulate their breathing and recover.
Feeling the red rocks getting a little hot under the setting sun, Li Yan withdrew his gaze from "Zhouyang Town", then narrowed his eyes, and kept thinking about the plan in his mind.
The distance is three miles, and looking down from above, for the monks, it is almost as if it is right in front of them.
When Li Yan and his companions arrived here, they did not plan to use their spiritual sense to detect "Zhouyang Town" because they could feel that from time to time there would be several hidden spiritual senses crossing and sweeping through the air.
If they release their spiritual sense, it would be an action that would easily be exposed. Therefore, the best way, of course, is to use the eyes to see. Therefore, they would rather sneak over and take some risks, which is more covert than using spiritual sense all the time.
After a short while, the other four people also withdrew their gazes from looking downwards.
“There are no mortals in this town. Maybe they were killed, or maybe this was a town built by immortal cultivators.
But there are nearly a hundred courtyards here, and those coming in and out are all demon cultivators and the teams they lead.
Although it seemed that only half of the courtyard was occupied, there were still a lot of people, and it was not easy to find the target.
And most importantly, since we are already here, Junior Brother Li, we must know how to contact the two insiders, right? We can't just search for them without any clues, right? Or you and Junior Sister Bai can just determine the target location, and we will just be responsible for the action. "
King Hu Xiao said with some dissatisfaction in his tone. Apart from Li Yan's brief explanation of the content of the mission at the beginning a few days ago, there was no further explanation afterwards. They certainly did not believe that the mission given by the sect was just such a simple hint.
