Li Yan's face was frighteningly gloomy. With his scheming, he would only be bullied when his strength was inferior to that of the other party.
When had he ever been plotted against like this before? Not even the wise and cunning strategist Ji Jun could handle it.
But after just a few breaths, Li Yan's complexion returned to normal. He pinched his chin with one hand and his eyes were narrowed into slits.
At the same time, even building a small teleportation array would consume a lot of rare materials and treasures.
Even for the few immortal cultivation families in Mingdu City, it would be a huge pain to get these materials. But for an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, it is completely possible.
This confirmed the fact that Baidao Tianbao Pavilion had a backer. As for whether his jade slip was in the storage bag of the middle-aged man in black.
With this small teleportation array in front of him, Li Yan already felt that the chances were very slim.
After daybreak, the middle-aged man in black walked out of the secret training room. He first went to the room on the other side where the materials were stored and took a look around. After making sure that everything was normal, he walked out of the room with a suspicious look on his face.
When he was practicing yesterday, at a certain point, he suddenly felt uneasy. This sign came very suddenly.
It was just like the feeling he had when he was on a mission in the army. It was an instinctive feeling that came from being on the brink of life and death in extremely dangerous situations for years.
On the surface, he was motionless and his face showed no unusual expression, but he had secretly released his spiritual sense to carefully investigate everywhere. The result puzzled him very much, as everything was normal and there was nothing unusual.
But he still believed in this inexplicable feeling, and similarly, most of the monks believed in it.
They are cultivators who know everything about ghosts and gods. Of course, they know that there are many things that cannot be speculated using common sense.
The middle-aged man in black was nervous. He knew that either he had sensed it wrong, or the other party's cultivation level was far beyond his, so he did not act rashly.
It was not until dawn that he began to inspect the place as usual, but still found no problems.
But the middle-aged man in black could not let go of the uneasiness in his heart. He stood in the courtyard and thought for a long time.
"It's better not to leave the city in the near future. You might get into trouble. Could it be that you have been targeted by the Jindan in the city and they found something unusual here
Was the bad feeling I had last night caused by someone using their spiritual sense to investigate... "
In the morning, the middle-aged man in black stayed quietly in the backyard and didn't even go to the front of the store.
At noon, the clerk in the shop in front handed him a note, and the middle-aged man in black waved his hand, signaling the clerk to leave.
He glanced at it casually, and a hint of understanding appeared on his face.
"The cultivator surnamed Li finally left the city. It turned out that the reason he didn't leave the inn was because he somehow offended Min Zhulang and his party from the Cangyu Sect.
These days, he has been closely watched by the enemy, and he dares not even leave the inn, let alone come to my place. But a few spirit stones a day...
Haha, he finally couldn't resist and left quickly in the morning, but the Cangyu Sect would not let him off easily..."
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man in black raised his finger and a small flame burned the note to ashes in an instant.
Looking at the flame in his hand gradually going out, the middle-aged man in black thought for a while and then stood up and walked towards the room on the side.
After entering the room, the middle-aged man in black quickly took out a blank jade slip from his body and began to record in a low voice.
"General Shanggong, I didn't find anything about that person and he left the city this morning.
But he is now being targeted by the Cangyu Sect. Should we help him secretly or let the situation develop as it is? "
After he said this, the middle-aged man in black showed hesitation on his face again, wondering whether this approach was a bit rash.
But after thinking about it, he decided to send the jade slip out.
After all, this kid has some connection with General Shanggong's disciples. Otherwise, General Shanggong would have killed him directly without going through so much trouble.
The middle-aged man in black was very insightful. Through various signs, he had guessed that General Shanggong must value this new disciple very much.
It would be better to inform General Shanggong about Li Yan's life or death so that she can be mentally prepared to avoid this incident affecting the relationship between her and her disciples.
After thinking it through, he quickly walked to the stone platform in the corner of the house and gently placed the jade slip in the center of the platform.
Then he slapped his waist, and a small jade token appeared in his palm. He threw the token into the air.
The small jade plate spun and then floated above the stone platform.
He muttered something, and green spiritual power began to emerge from his hands, which was continuously injected into the small jade token.
Not long after, the jade plate floating in the air suddenly shot out a rainbow light from the middle, directly hitting the stone platform below.
The stone platform, which was originally motionless and only emitting a faint white light, suddenly vibrated with a low "buzzing" sound.
Then, the complicated runes on it lit up one after another.
In less than three breaths, the light of those lit runes became brighter and brighter, gradually rising into the sky.
Soon, a small white light column formed above the stone platform, and the next moment it enveloped the entire stone platform.
The moment the white beam of light was fully formed, it shot up into the sky and shot into the void above.
Silently, in just the blink of an eye, the white beam of light disappeared into the air, and the shaking sound of the stone platform also stopped abruptly.
The small jade token fell back into the palm of the middle-aged man in black with a light "pop".
Everything in the room returned to calm, and the jade slip that the middle-aged man in black had placed on the stone platform had disappeared, leaving the stone platform empty.
After the middle-aged man in black finished all this, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he put the jade token away and stood quietly beside the stone platform, with his hands behind his back, motionless, as if waiting for something.
About a cup of tea later, the stone platform in the silent room began to shake slightly again.
The middle-aged man in black was cheered up and looked up quickly. The complicated runes on the stone platform lit up again.
Then, after a sudden burst of blinding white light, all sounds disappeared into thin air again.
At this time, a pale yellow jade slip appeared on the stone platform. The middle-aged man in black quickly picked up the jade slip and put it on his forehead.
Then an extremely cold voice entered his mind.
"Let him go, the matter ends here! Don't mention what happened today again in the future, otherwise, you will never be able to return to the clan alive."
When the middle-aged man in black heard the previous words, there was an amusement on his face, knowing that General Shanggong was killing someone with a borrowed knife.
By the time the latter words had sunk into his mind, he was already drenched in sweat. He had gotten himself into trouble today for no reason.
The next moment, a flame rose in his hand, and the jade slip disappeared in an instant.
It was not until more than ten breaths later that the middle-aged man in black finally woke up completely. After sorting out his thoughts, he walked out the door with forced calmness.
However, he had already made up his mind that even if General Shanggong's disciple came to him in the future, he would never admit that he knew what happened next.
The only time he had interacted with the cultivator named Li was when he met him when he delivered the jade slip. He knew nothing about other things.
"Yes, that's it. I don't know anything else!"
The mind of the Yuanying old monster is unfathomable. A few days ago, he was praised for his efficient work.
Today, I thought I had thought about the other person again, and I acted on my own and almost lost my life.
From now on, you just need to obey orders and never act recklessly again. This is too dangerous.
At this moment, more than 700,000 miles away from Tiandu City, in a fairyland-like cave.
Shanggong Changge, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, was looking at a fish pond in the middle of the cave, where spiritual energy was rising, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
"The boy surnamed Li has been targeted by the Cangyu Sect. This will save us trouble in the future. I hope the Cangyu Sect will act cleanly.
However... the Cangyu Sect, an inferior alien race, now dares to attack human cultivators. This is something that needs to be paid attention to.
Although many elders in the tribe no longer care about the human race, it still has to be justified on the surface no matter what.
Otherwise, do they really think that our race is beginning to decline
It seems that some sects need to be punished and given a good warning to let them know who is the leader of the West.
I don't think the old guys in the tribe would agree to someone testing the waters and then slowly leaning towards the 'Dark Demon Tribe'."
Shanggong Changge's brows slowly relaxed when he thought of this.
Then, he looked through the cave and fell on a valley behind, which was where Zhao Min practiced.
"You are my hope. Everything in the past was just a mirage for you. It is ultimately empty. Now is your path, a road that leads to heaven..."
At the same time, in a secret room in a valley behind the cave, water spiritual energy was surging thickly, as sticky as if it were real.
For an ordinary Jindan cultivator, staying here for one hour will make up for the gains of seven or eight days of hard practice outside.
However, if one does not have sufficient aptitude, one will not be able to practice here all day long. Once such rich spiritual energy pours in, it will fill up the Dantian, and the skills will not be able to function, with the danger of the body exploding.
Zhao Min was sitting cross-legged quietly in a white dress, with blue light expanding and contracting around her body. Suddenly, she seemed to sense someone was spying on her, and then she opened her beautiful eyes, with no expression on her face.
Then, she glanced at the jade slip placed beside her, a rare fluctuation flashed in her eyes, and then she closed her eyes again.
She knew that the protective formation here was special, and even the exploration of a Nascent Soul cultivator would cause slight fluctuations, plus the spiritual energy here was terrifyingly rich.
Only then did she sense the abnormality of spiritual energy during her cultivation.
Her master had invested a huge amount of money in order to help her master master the basics of the "Demon White Jade Plate" as quickly as possible without letting others know so that she could become famous in the future.
After bringing her back to the clan, everything was kept very low-key, and he gave his own secluded valley to Zhao Min at all costs.
He even activated the Nascent Soul Level protective formation here, just because he didn't want others to detect the practice here. He announced to the outside world that he needed to practice hard in seclusion after returning to the tribe this time.
She even ordered those disciples to keep silent, strictly prohibiting them from talking about Zhao Min to outsiders.
Of course, Shanggong Changge's other disciples have been in the dark. They don't know Zhao Min's origins and situation. They just feel that their master is acting too mysteriously now.
Especially for this new disciple, who disappeared after being brought back to the clan, they didn't know where Zhao Min was arranged by the master, but they didn't dare to ask.
Shanggong Changge is cold-blooded and cruel. He has been guarding the border between the two tribes for many years. It is no exaggeration to say that he has killed people like crazy.
These disciples knew this very well; their master had no feelings at all.
Although Zhao Min closed her eyes, she knew that her perception was correct. It must be Shanggong Changge who was looking at her, and Shanggong Changge did not deliberately conceal it.
