When Li Yan found out that it was these two tribes that attacked "Falling Star Valley", Li Yan thought of the few people who were killed outside Mingdu City. Those people were disciples of Cangyu Sect.
But what Li Yan and others didn't know was that the people coming to attack Luoxing Valley were not two alien sects, but four.
This is also the reason why Lin Xinghe did not make the news public for fear of causing panic among his disciples.
Since Li Yan thought of asking for help, Lin Xinghe and the others would have thought of it too. However, it was still not easy for them to find someone they could trust, especially a human cultivator.
The Lost Continent is a complex web of large and small forces, with various races standing side by side. What is believed in here is strength, and one has to rely mainly on oneself.
In one year, countless sects were destroyed. The so-called friendship often exists between individuals, but when it comes to sects, it becomes more complicated.
After Li Yan stood outside the Deacon Hall for a while, he thought of someone.
"Let's go ask Feng Tao. With her status as a master, she should have more information."
After thinking about it, Li Yan walked slowly towards a place in the valley.
In a courtyard, Feng Tao was staring blankly at a green token in her hand. This was what her master had told her to get from a cave in the valley the day before.
The reason for her going there was not explained at the time. Feng Tao arrived confused and met some other disciples in the valley who were also unaware of the situation.
These disciples include both male and female, and there are about thirty of them. With Feng Tao's current identity, it can be recognized that these people are elite disciples of the younger generation.
Most of them have already reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation Stage and above, and of course there are a few disciples with cultivation levels like her.
After a little inquiry, these people also didn't know why they were called here. Many people who were familiar with each other were discussing in a low voice, but they were just various guesses.
Feng Tao was listening quietly on the side. Among all the speculations, the one that frightened and worried Feng Tao the most was the one that was recognized by the majority of people.
"These people were called in to form a crack team to carry out some kind of mission against the enemy!"
Mobilizing these elite disciples would definitely make this task extremely difficult. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be a life-or-death struggle. Feng Tao's heart was beating wildly, as her strength was at the bottom among this group of people.
I don't know why I was asked to come here. When a strong enemy appears, she will be the first to die.
Not long after, the gate of the cave opened and more than 30 people were called in. Although what happened next was unexpected, it generally confirmed their guess.
The cave was empty. Apart from those who had just entered, no one else was seen here.
Just as they were looking at each other, suddenly, rays of light lit up in the air in the cave, and then a number of green tokens floated in front of the first person.
Then a majestic and old voice sounded out of nowhere.
“Keep the token with you, and don’t leave it. When the token lights up red, no matter what you are doing, put it down immediately.
You must get here again within half a cup of tea, and then you must follow my orders.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!
Anyone who spreads this will be beheaded!"
After the old voice said this, there was no more sound, and then the cave door opened again, allowing everyone to leave.
Everything is so mysterious and confusing.
"This mission is so secret that no one is allowed to know about it in advance!"
Feng Tao murmured to herself, feeling somewhat helpless in her heart. If the eldest senior brother and the second senior sister were intact, then this mission would not be her turn.
Since he didn't know what receiving the green token meant, Feng Tao had been unable to relax and practice in the past two days.
She didn't dare to take the token to ask her master. She didn't know whether her master knew about this, but she absolutely could not reveal it.
Just as Feng Tao was daydreaming, an unexpected voice sounded outside. Feng Tao didn't react for a while until Zhang Ming's voice came continuously, and then she reacted.
Zhang Ming's visit surprised Feng Tao very much.
In the living room, Feng Tao served tea and forced a smile on her face.
"Brother Zhang, how come you have time to come to my place today?"
When she saw Zhang Ming for the first time, the first thing she thought of was that he was here to ask to use the "Star Crushing Chamber".
But she hasn't told this to her master yet. Her master is busy every day, as if he is looking for suitable bodies for the eldest brother and the second sister.
The souls of those two cannot be dragged on like this forever, and the master does not have any good soul-nourishing things in his hands, so they must be allowed to take over another body as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the souls of these two people will become weaker and weaker, and then not only will they be unable to take over other people's bodies, but they will become nourishment for other people's souls.
Therefore, Feng Tao did not dare to mention the matter of the "Star-Breaking Chamber" right now, for fear of upsetting her master and accusing her of acting recklessly.
Another reason why Feng Tao is not in a hurry to talk about this matter now is that if Zhang Ming wants to enter the "Star Crushing Chamber", he must first cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Condensation Stage.
Considering Zhang Ming's qualifications, this cannot be achieved in a short period of time, so she certainly has reasons to delay.
But today Zhang Ming came to her house, which made Feng Tao think that he was anxious. Otherwise, she would have no other connection with Zhang Ming.
"I came here to ask Junior Sister something. Junior Sister knows that my cultivation is low, so I seldom go out.
However, today we received an order from the Deacon Hall, requiring all cultivators below the seventh level of Qi Condensation to be on standby at all times, but the reason is unknown.
For this kind of situation, people like us who have cultivation are most worried, because we have no backing and no strength. If we understand the reason, we will certainly be more or less prepared. Zhang knows very few people in the valley, so he thought of Junior Sister Feng.
Given Junior Sister Feng's status, she should know some of the inside story. Therefore, I can only take the liberty to come and bother you. I wonder if Junior Sister Feng has some inside information to share with me. Zhang will be very grateful."
Of course there are some unfinished business in what I said just now. Since the Deacon Hall said that a decree will be issued today, then it will definitely be issued.
As for whether Feng Tao had received the decree from the Deacon Hall, Li Yan didn't care. After all, each disciple received the decree at a different time.
Feng Tao frowned after hearing what Zhang Ming said.
“So Senior Brother Zhang came here for this matter, but I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. It’s not something a disciple with low cultivation like me can know about the sect’s major events.
Although I have successfully become a disciple, my cultivation level is not very high, and my master will not tell me about such important matters of the sect.
Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I have not received the decree from the Deacon Hall that you mentioned, so how can I know why the Deacon Hall asked all disciples to be on standby at all times? "
Although Feng Tao said this, he knew the answer in his heart.
When her master came to ask her to go to the cave in the valley the day before, he also told her about the current situation of the sect. Now, there is a possibility that "Falling Star Valley" will take action.
One of them said, "Although the situation in the valley is not good now, the sect leader will not let it develop any further. There should be a result soon."
Then, before leaving, he gave Feng Tao three talismans, all of which were extraordinary items.
The two attacking talismans can each exert the power of a strike at the tenth level of the Qi Condensation Stage, while the last talisman is actually a rare defensive type.
Her master said that this was a life-saving trump card given to her. Once she encountered danger that could not be resolved, she could use this talisman, and perhaps it would save her life.
This talisman can actually block the full-strength attack of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. It is certainly a life-saving item.
With these clues, how could Feng Tao not understand that a big war might be about to break out, and she was one of the people who would be sent to carry out some secret mission.
But she would not tell Zhang Ming these things. Sure enough, Zhang Ming showed disappointment on his face after hearing this.
Then, Zhang Ming suddenly spoke.
"Oh, Junior Sister Feng and her group were summoned the day before yesterday. This matter has spread widely in the sect. Many people speculate that this is a gathering of elite forces to go to war with the other side. This..."
As soon as Zhang Ming said this, Feng Tao's face changed. She had not been out since she came back the day before, so she really didn't know about this.
"Brother Zhang, where did you hear this rumor? I was only asked to join a group of new disciples because of a shortage of patrol personnel.
It's fine for Senior Brother Zhang to just say this kind of rumor here, but if it gets to the Law Enforcement Hall, or gets to the ears of a senior uncle or a senior uncle, then you'll be in trouble. Senior Brother, please don't mention this matter again."
Feng Tao said this with a serious face, and she immediately realized in her mind that it was impossible to hide the fact that more than 30 people were gathered at once from the disciples.
When Li Yan saw Feng Tao's face change slightly, he actually looked a little timid, so he stopped asking any more questions.
Then, as if unwilling to give up, he asked a few more questions. Seeing that Feng Tao seemed to know nothing, he had to get up and leave.
Feng Tao didn't care about Zhang Ming's departure at all. She was so worried that she didn't have time to care about others.
As long as she doesn't let any random words get out of her mouth, other people's life or death is their own business. At the same time, what she is most worried about is the Feng family.
But Feng Tao did not dare to send a message back. This made her even more upset and she forgot about Zhang Ming's arrival in just a moment.
After leaving Feng Tao's courtyard, Li Yan's lips curled up into a slight smile.
Just now he seemed to be rambling and didn't get the answer he wanted, but in fact he was still trying to obtain an important piece of information.
Feng Tao was among the disciples who were summoned the day before, and he also heard the names of several disciples who were summoned from the conversations he eavesdropped on with other disciples.
As long as Li Yan finds out the identities of these people and compares them one by one with Feng Tao as a reference, he can get more useful information. How could he, Li Yan, do such useless work
Even if others don't tell him, he will find a way to figure it out.
An hour later, Li Yan returned to the courtyard again, and then he entered the room.
With his ability, as long as the two Jindan in the sect did not pay special attention to him, it would not take too much effort for him to find out the identities of several disciples in the sect.
After sitting cross-legged, Li Yan began to slowly connect together all the information he had learned today.
“The disciples we gathered the day before yesterday were either masters in the Qi Condensation Stage or people with excellent aptitude like Feng Tao. These people can be said to be the most outstanding generation of disciples in Luoxing Valley.
Why did you gather so many outstanding disciples together at once? To carry out a top-secret mission?"
Li Yan just thought about it casually and immediately rejected the idea.
"With so many outstanding disciples carrying out the mission together, if one thing goes wrong, all hope for the future of Falling Star Valley will be destroyed.
I don’t know how long it will take to recover.
As long as Lin Xinghe is not crazy, he will definitely not gather these disciples together and bury them all at once."
Li Yan figured this out quickly. In fact, not only him, but all the cultivators in "Falling Star Valley" who paid attention to this matter, after a little consideration, felt that there might be other hidden secrets, and the answer was not so easy to guess.
