This time, Li Yan shook his head.
"No need, Master. I'd better go alone. With fewer people, the possibility of being exposed will be lower. At least everything is under my control."
After thinking about it, he felt that carrying out this mission was an inevitable result and he didn't dare to push it off.
Thinking back to his previous trip to "Zhouyang Town", from the perspective of hiding alone, bringing people with him would only increase the chance of being exposed. Although he himself was missing a helper, the possibility of death would be several times greater than the probability of being exposed.
Li Yan would rather go alone and just take things as they come.
"Are you... sure you need to do this?"
Wei Chongran's expression froze for a moment, and then he confirmed it again with a serious look.
"Disciple is sure! I wonder when I will set off
By the way, I have something else to do. After I leave, the defense here will be handed over to Senior Brother Gong from Laojun Peak. He has fought in "Mogu Mountain" for half a month and has much more experience than others.
However, today we were suddenly ambushed by the enemy, and more than half of our troops have been killed or wounded. If there are no new monks to replenish our ranks, we will not be able to hold out here."
Now that he had made the decision, Li Yan could only grit his teeth and hold on to the end, but he had already remembered the Nascent Soul cultivator who wanted to take the opportunity to kill him to establish his authority.
If I can survive today, I will find out who this person is. I will remember this "favor" and if he can enter the Nascent Soul stage one day, I will come to him to ask for advice.
Li Yan would not mention the murderous intent he sensed just now to anyone else, including Wei Chongran. If Wei Chongran was stronger than the other party, he should have reacted just now.
Even if I had the chance to tell Wei Chongran, it would only cause more trouble.
Li Yan has always been a man of vengeance. Since he is not capable enough, he can only keep it deep in his heart. This is what forces him to risk his life.
Then he thought of the defense here, and he naturally had to hand over this hot potato, but he was just saying it nicely.
Don't wait until he leaves and then lose the defense here and go back to hold him responsible. That would make you the one taking the blame.
Although Li Yan felt that with his master around, the higher-ups wouldn't point fingers at him about such matters, he had to make things clear and clear himself of all responsibility, which was his goal.
“Hehehe, I will mobilize the monks from the rear to come up here, but there is no need for Gong Yuantai to command.
The formation here has been broken and there is no place to defend. Although the 'Tonggui Ridge' will be rebuilt now, such a defensive formation cannot be set up in a short time.
Judging from the opponent's offensive posture today, the demon army should have received a death order and is determined to capture "Tonggui Ridge" and even the entire Fengliang Mountain.
I estimate... later... there should be more Jindan or even Yuanying cultivators coming here in person. I will personally take charge here for a while, and after things stabilize and the situation is clear, I will hand it over to others."
Wei Chongran immediately understood the meaning of Li Yan's words. His disciple was very clear about distinguishing between public and private affairs.
But later on, he hesitated for a moment, but still felt that his judgment that the other party's middle or high-level cultivator would come in person should be correct.
But there was one more thing he didn't say: "Maybe after tonight, everything will be different!"
Li Yan was a little surprised to hear that his master was stationed here personally, but after listening to Wei Chong's subsequent analysis, he felt that it made sense.
Today, the demons have been accumulating strength for many days and suddenly launched an attack. Even after using powerful magic weapons, they still failed to capture the city. Of course, they cannot just give up.
But he didn't notice that Wei Chongran's expression was a little solemn and hesitant when he said these words, but it was only fleeting, and Li Yan certainly didn't notice it.
"When are you leaving? I need to consult a few Yuanying seniors before I can decide whether this plan is feasible. After all, your plan needs their approval and their full cooperation!"
Wei Chongran then returned the topic to the mission.
But just as he finished speaking, what he and Li Yan did not expect was that a powerful voice suddenly rang out in their minds.
"No need to ask for instructions. Just follow this kid's plan and set off immediately. There is no time to lose. As long as he can get this thing about a hundred feet below the altar.
Unless the other party is stronger than a late Nascent Soul cultivator, there will be no one who cannot discover this thing."
The voice came suddenly. Although Wei Chongran and Li Yan had long expected that someone had been eavesdropping on their conversation, they were still somewhat surprised by such direct intervention without any disguise.
Wei Chongran, in particular, was penetrated directly into his mind by the other party without realizing it, and he still frowned.
But Li Yan had another idea in his mind.
"So it was him! It was the voice that appeared in the air before. Needless to say, the murderous intent just now came from this person!"
Li Yan showed a look of astonishment on his face at the right time. In fact, the suddenness of the voice had already caught him by surprise, and he had already engraved this voice firmly in his heart.
Li Yan believed that he would be able to find this person through this voice in the future, of course, if he had the ability to reach that level.
At the same time as the voice was transmitted, an irregular dark blue crystal about half the size of a baby's fist and a jade slip suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
The two items appeared silently. The jade slip was fine, but the dark blue crystal that was half the size of a baby's fist was clearly a water-attributed spirit stone.
But when Li Yan used his spiritual sense to scan it, to his surprise, he found nothing. There was nothing in his spiritual sense, but the object was clearly floating in front of him. Li Yan released his spiritual sense again in disbelief, and to his surprise, there was still nothing in his spiritual sense.
"This... this... is Senior Qian Fangshu's 'Mie Linglong'!"
Wei Chongran's somewhat surprised words answered some of Li Yan's doubts, but he still didn't know the specific situation of this thing.
"Your horizons are really broad. Even if someone in the world of immortal cultivation knows by chance that this thing exists, there are only a handful of people who can actually see it!
Since you know the origin of this magic weapon, I think I don't need to explain it to you in detail. You, the disciple, will take it there later.
Li Yan, don't do anything with this thing, just drive it deep into the ground within the altar's defense formation.
As for what you just mentioned that requires our cooperation, I will work with the other people to complete it.
In addition, the jade slip contains the location map of the valley. Remember, if it cannot be completed by tomorrow morning, many of our plans will be delayed, and the consequences will be serious.
But, boy, I believe you can do it!"
The powerful voice once again rang in the minds of the two men, especially the last two sentences, which already indicated the seriousness of the failure of this task.
Although there were no threatening words to Li Yan, Li Yan and Wei Chongran clearly felt a chill coming from the words.
Li Yan felt extremely uncomfortable about this. He was not a powerful cultivator, but now the responsibility of this matter was put on him so unreasonably.
But for a moment, he didn't dare to refute. Wei Chongran raised his eyebrows and was about to open his mouth to push the responsibility for Li Yan, but as soon as he finished speaking, all the sounds stopped abruptly, and there was no trace of any feeling in his heart.
The Yuanying old monster has a weird temper. It is common for him to say one thing and do another, and his attitude is even more unpredictable. It is not surprising that he comes and goes as he pleases.
I do what I want and what I say, and the monks below must obey me. In their minds, this is a matter of course.
Wei Chongran could only sigh. It was obvious that this old weirdo didn't want to hear any other reasons.
Then, Wei Chongran stretched out his hand towards the void in front of him and took the "Mie Linglong" that was emitting a faint blue light into his hand.
Seeing this, Li Yan simply asked directly.
"Master, is this magic weapon really that powerful?"
He was actually just throwing out some words, which was equivalent to nonsense. If this thing was not powerful, the Nascent Soul cultivator would not have given them the power to destroy another magic weapon, let alone say those words.
Upon hearing this, Wei Chongran withdrew his spiritual sense. When he probed into the magic weapon with his spiritual sense, he could not sense the slightest spiritual energy. There was only a faint aura emanating from it that made his heart palpitate and tremble.
Wei Chongran didn't know whether he had this feeling because he knew the origin of this thing, or if he really sensed it.
"'Mie Linglong' is a top-level magic weapon in this mortal world, and it was refined by Senior Qian Fangshu, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.
It is said that this item has the power of a great god when two to three Nascent Soul early stage cultivators work together to attack it. Please note that this does not mean that this magic weapon will reach the power of a Nascent Soul middle stage cultivator.
But this was already extremely horrifying. All people and things within the formation in that valley were basically dead.
However, the formation is dead, and people are alive. This is why even with this item in hand, the Yuanying seniors were still not sure they could instantly subdue or kill the Yuanying-level demon general.
As long as the opponent senses that something is wrong, the speed of teleportation will definitely exceed the speed of the magic weapon's explosion.
Having said that, let me tell you one more thing. It is said that the cultivation level of the demon general who sits in charge of that valley will definitely not exceed the middle stage of demon general. He should be a demon general in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
In fact, as long as we have a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, such as Senior Qian Fangshu, who takes action personally, the early and middle Nascent Soul stages are as fragile as a piece of thin paper in front of him, and his life or death can be decided in a single thought.
However, if a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage on our side takes action now, it will definitely attract a Jindan stage cultivator from the other side. Under the connection, a war between the two sides will break out in an instant.
We still have some plans that are not ready yet, but we cannot do this."
After hearing this, Li Yan immediately nodded. As a disciple of one of the four major sects, especially a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, he could see many relatively confidential books.
Even though he did not have this authority, Wei Chongran would sometimes ask Li Wuyi or others to give it to him to read, in order to enhance his disciples' knowledge.
The cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage have already had a certain level of contact with the Five Elements Laws of Heaven and Earth, and even a kind of mutated law. This is completely different from the cultivators in the middle or early Nascent Soul stage, and are called "great cultivators" by ordinary cultivators.
The cultivators who are able to form a fetus are those who have realized the existence of the most profound laws of heaven and earth in the world, and are able to break through the numerous shackles between themselves and the heaven and earth.
The fake infant monk took advantage of that flash of inspiration and tried desperately to capture the ethereal power of the law. If he wanted to absorb it into his body, he would arouse the boundless anger and murderous intent of the laws of heaven and earth.
The laws of heaven and earth have no consciousness, but they have an instinct that cannot be violated. When someone tries to approach it and capture it, it will mobilize the power of heaven and earth, causing a catastrophe, vowing to kill the cultivator who dares to challenge the dragon's power. This is the so-called heavenly calamity.
The heavenly tribulation that occurs when an infant is formed is on a completely different level from the pill tribulation that occurs when an elixir is formed. The power of the heavenly tribulation is more than ten times that of the pill tribulation.
Moreover, the stronger the Jindan cultivator is, the more laws of heaven and earth he can sense, and the more ferocious the power of the heavenly tribulation that will kill him will be. Therefore, the size of the heavenly tribulation varies from person to person.
