More than half an hour later, it was already dark. More than 150 miles away from the nameless valley, there was a solitary cliff.
In a pile of rocks near the top of the mountain, there are hundreds of stones of various sizes scattered around, looking like undulating monsters in the night.
A large rock was buried deep in the soil, with a large patch of weeds growing at its roots, and at one corner of the large rock, half leaning against a smaller rock.
That was Li Yan sitting there, but even if someone walked past him, all they would see was a small slanted stone.
"There are already ten teams of various sizes spread out within a radius of fifty miles, with more than a hundred people, and they are led by several Jindan cultivators. These should be the outer guards of the nameless valley."
Li Yan sat there motionless, his mind quickly recalling the several groups of monks he had just encountered, trying to analyze useful information from the clues.
From the expressions on the faces of some of the monks from the teams he encountered, he could tell that these teams must be aware of each other's existence and were probably cross-patrolling different areas.
But Li Yan didn't know that if it had been yesterday, he would have met these monks earlier. At that time, their patrol range was within 500 miles outside the Nameless Valley.
It was only after these monks received the order this afternoon that they shrunk the range to three hundred miles. It seems that three hundred miles is already very small, after all, there are more than a hundred monks patrolling together.
In fact, it is still the same principle. They have to take into account a range of 300 miles in every direction. Once the hundred people are separated, the area to be guarded is still not small.
"These are the traitors who willingly surrendered to the demons!"
Encountering so many human cultivators, Li Yan had guessed their identities. He began to hesitate whether to stop approaching the nameless valley and just stop here and wait for the Nascent Soul cultivator to take action.
At least in the hands of these cultivators, Li Yan still had some confidence that he could hide. Otherwise, if he continued to approach that nameless valley, the probability of death would rise to ninety-nine percent.
Although it is only a hundred and fifty miles away from the valley now, and still a little distance from the hundred-mile warning line of the Demon General as judged by Li Yan, it is completely out of control.
Li Yan didn't dare to release his spiritual sense to investigate at this time. What was the difference between that and seeking death
After some thought, Li Yan decided not to move forward. This kind of risk could not be taken.
What's more, the distance is more than a hundred miles. After the Nascent Soul cultivators of both sides leave the fight, he can still reach there quickly by using the "Feng Chongtian" body movement technique. Everything must be done under the premise of saving his life.
Thinking of this, he concentrated even more and held his breath, and the "Stealth at Night" slowly flowed through his body, and he was no longer distinguishable from the surrounding environment.
He knew that as long as he remained motionless like this, those old monsters from Fengliang Mountain who were following him secretly would know that he was just waiting for the opportunity and would start his next plan on his own.
At this moment, Li Yan's expression suddenly moved. Two figures were slowly coming up from the bottom of the mountain, heading towards him.
"Huh? Were you discovered?"
Li Yan, who had just made the decision, was shocked. He thought that the other party had been targeting him in advance. Otherwise, how could someone suddenly lean towards him after he had been sitting for a while
But Li Yan soon felt something was wrong. Although the two men flew straight towards him, there was no murderous intent emanating from them. Instead, they looked cautious and did not seem to be on guard against him.
Because the two men were careful and looked around frequently. Although the direction they were flying from was towards them, their attention was very distracted.
Although Li Yan did not dare to release his spiritual sense towards the valley, he still released a little bit of his perception in the surrounding area, so he still had some sense of the situation of the two people.
However, as the two approached, Li Yan completely absorbed his spiritual awareness into his body, and soon the two flew near him, only about ten feet away from Li Yan.
There was an abandoned cave of low-level monsters, which Li Yan had explored before. Otherwise, how could he be sure of his current hiding place
The two of them flashed into the cave like ghosts, and then two voices broke into Li Yan's ears. The two of them were probably quite confident in their own cultivation, so they did not transmit their voices.
At a distance of ten feet, with Li Yan's current cultivation level, he could hear everything clearly without using his spiritual sense.
"Humph, Brother Zheng is really brave. You are not afraid that if Venerable Wan finds out, he will take your life. You actually set your sights on me!"
This was a voice that was cold yet seductive. Although the voice had a rebuke in it, it was more of a teasing tone.
The moment he heard the voice, Li Yan was stunned. This voice was somewhat familiar to him, and some past scenes quickly emerged in his mind.
Immortal cultivators all have the ability to remember everything they see and hear. That happened to Li Yan a year ago when he was on his way to the Pure Land Sect.
That day, he left a city called Yuguan. He was depressed because he did not get the Crystal Bone Water. So he decided not to continue his journey in the night when the north wind was howling and snow was flying.
To avoid the wind and snow, he took shelter in a cave.
The woman named Su Hong who "returned home" outside the cave fled here. She was chased all the way by a beautiful woman in green gauze. At that time, Li Yan overheard their conversation and secretly attacked the beautiful woman in green gauze for the Crystal Bone Water.
Finally, he fled with Su Hong.
As soon as this woman opened her mouth today, Li Yan thought of the beautiful woman in green gauze.
Think about it again. Su Hong had said at that time that a mysterious force appeared near Yuguan City. Now this beautiful woman in green gauze appeared here again. There was no doubt that this woman had already been a traitor who defected to the demon clan.
While Li Yan was thinking, another frivolous voice sounded. "Elder Zhong, I have true feelings for you and want to be with you forever. I am definitely not like Venerable Wan who is just acting on impulse.
What's more, Master Wan has countless women, and you know how long it has been since he last visited you.
You did come here a few times before, but that was also to see your sect leader, hehehe..."
"Oh? Zheng Xingfan, what do you mean by that? Just say that I am just someone else's plaything, isn't it? Or that anyone can get me."
The woman's voice suddenly turned cold, and even the last trace of her charm disappeared.
"Look, Elder Zhong, why do you say that? You know how I have treated you since we met a few years ago.
Am I the kind of person who only talks big? Every time you give me something, I agree to it without hesitation, unlike those guys who don't act until they see the rabbit. They are the ones who only want to make you happy."
The man's voice gradually lost its frivolity and finally became serious.
"Do you know what will happen to you if this matter is known by Master Wan? I am his forbidden lover. Although he hasn't looked for me for a long time, he will never allow others to have any bad thoughts."
“Humph, he can show off in front of us, but he is very humble in front of those demon cultivators from the demon world. However, this kind of thing will soon no longer be too intimidating to me.
I assisted Lord Tiedong in the South China Sea and discovered many hidden immortal cultivation families and sects. This great achievement alone made Lord Tiedong look at me with new eyes.
Even though Lord Tiedong ordered us to come here to assist Lord Mu in defending this place, there were also some suggestions from me.
Lord Tiedong has already made it clear that he intends to transfer me to serve under him and will give me a good position in the army.
By then, although I cannot compete with Master Wan, it will be extremely difficult for him to attack me."
"You said you wanted to work for Lord Tiedong? Zheng Xingfan, how come I have never heard of him? Do you think I am a three-year-old child who will believe you just by giving me a piece of candy
However, as a disciple of a first-class sect in the South Sea, you betrayed so many sects and families that you have close ties with. Even if the elder Taichang, who has been imprisoned by you, knew about it, he would probably want to eat you alive."
"Hehehe, those old guys in the sect are all stubborn and stubborn. They don't plan big things like your sect does and have a broad mind.
Let’s not talk about that. How can I just tell others about the care that Master Tiedong showed me? How about this, I’ll show you something…”
After a moment, Li Yan heard a soft cry from the beautiful woman in green gauze.
"This... this... this is the Iron Demon Token, this is the token of Lord Tiedong..."
"Of course, I have never lied to you before. I will have a lot of cultivation resources in the future. Of course, you will also have abundant cultivation resources. With our qualifications, it is not impossible to condense the Nascent Soul."
There was a hint of pride in the man's words.
"Can you really bring me to Lord Tiedong's tent?" The beautiful woman in green gauze had lost her coldness in her voice and was now filled with doubt.
The true relationship between her and Master Wan is only known to her and the "Red Candle Fairy".
"Although I can't say anything in front of Master Tiedong, he thinks highly of me and is generally willing to accept what I say."
Looking at the snow-white patch of skin looming through the translucent green gauze skirt in front of him and the swaying plump buttocks, Zheng Xingfan's heart was already burning with desire, and he started to talk nonsense, only wanting to get a moment of pleasure.
He has been coveting the women of Hongchan Sect for a long time, especially the Sect Master of Hongchan Sect and this beautiful woman in green gauze.
Sect Master Hongchan was determined to follow Master Wan, and his cultivation was much higher than his. Zheng Xingfan naturally didn't dare to have any thoughts.
But this beautiful lady in green gauze only had some relationship with Master Wan. He had also inquired about it. Even when Master Wan came on weekdays, he seldom looked for the beautiful lady in green gauze, as if he was a little concerned about "Fairy Red Candle".
Moreover, in the entire Hongchan Sect, only the beautiful woman in green gauze can compete with the "Fairy Red Candle" in terms of charm. Zheng Xingfan is, after all, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, so naturally he has very high standards.
He found out privately that the beautiful woman in green gauze was actually very coquettish. She could be said to be unable to sleep without a man. The previous saying that she was available to any man was not an exaggeration.
She herself had slept with countless men just by using her body to obtain intelligence about the enemy. However, ever since the invasion of the demons and the emergence of Venerable Wan, fewer and fewer cultivators dared to approach her.
Zheng Xingfan was originally a sex-hungry ghost, but now he has a backer, especially Tiedong, whose power is much greater than that of Master Wan, and this is a fact recognized by everyone.
As a result, his heart became even more restless, especially this coquettish beautiful woman, who seemed to appear in front of him intentionally or unintentionally in recent times, making his eyes red every night.
"You are not afraid of angering Lord Wan, but I am afraid! You asked me to come here today for these matters, right? If there is nothing else, I will go back now.
We are still on guard at the perimeter. If something goes wrong, even Lord Tiedong will not forgive us if the fault lies with you or me."
The beautiful woman in green gauze seemed to believe Zheng Xingfan's words, and her tone was no longer as cold as before. Instead, there was a tone of negotiation in her voice.
