"No, no, I must wait until they show up. What the senior said is correct. They will show up..."
How could Meng Zhiyuan know what was going on inside the "Tianling Cave"? If he knew, he would have gone in long ago.
He turned a deaf ear to the words of his fellow junior brothers and sisters, and just knocked his head, making a "dong dong" sound, and the stone surface in front of him was already cracked.
He kept repeating those words, as if he was mumbling to himself, or as if he was having a hysterical attack.
Meng Zhiyuan naturally didn't know that there was a teleportation array inside.
He understood Pei Buchong's words at the time to mean that as long as someone could enter the "Tianling Cave", it would prove that he had great magical powers and was able to take them away.
He believed that the cave was so small, and as long as Zhang Ming and the senior Taoist priest found the treasure, they would definitely come out, and all he had to do was to beg sincerely.
For the return of his people, he can die, he can be humble, he can disregard any dignity.
He didn't want to watch his tribesmen die like this again. He didn't want to see them living in this forbidden land in darkness.
Many people here have no idea what the outside world is like, what the starry sky is, what the green trees are, what the warm sunshine is, what the violent storms are...
He wants to let them know what the world outside is like. This is the wish of his master and others, and it is his responsibility!
Time passed quickly, and cries of pleas echoed all around, but no one answered.
Meng Zhiyuan and his companions became more and more anxious and sad. The despair in their hearts had reached its peak. All their hopes had begun to turn into despair, and blood covered the stone surface.
They just kept repeating words and kowtowing, letting their foreheads be torn into pieces.
Suddenly, without any warning, a voice sounded in front.
"Friend Meng, what do you mean by this?"
As soon as this voice sounded, the five people kneeling in front of the door seemed to be struck by lightning. All the sounds and movements froze there as if they were petrified.
Then, Meng Zhiyuan raised his head little by little, letting the blood from his forehead flow into his eyes, reflecting a blood-red world, and he saw three figures.
"Friend Meng, our previous affairs are over. I am just passing by here. You..."
Li Yan asked the question even though he knew the answer, with a hint of confusion on his face.
After hearing Li Yan's question, Meng Zhiyuan suddenly woke up and he fell to the ground again.
"Friend Zhang, please save my clan, please save my clan!"
He didn't know Qianzhong Zhenjun and Zhao Min, so he could only beg Zhang Ming for help. He could see that Zhang Ming had a close relationship with the other two, and the most crucial one was of course the Taoist priest.
Of course, Meng Zhiyuan could also directly beg the Taoist priest. Even if he didn't know him, he could still tell him the situation.
But if Zhang Ming disliked their clan and said a few words to them, then he would really be in big trouble.
Therefore, he must impress Zhang Ming.
"Huh? I saved your clan, Brother Meng, why do you say that
Your clan is doing well here and has not encountered any strong enemies. Besides, how can a mere Jindan like me be of any help?"
Li Yan chuckled softly and said bluntly.
In fact, he was in the cave just now and couldn't hear what Meng Zhiyuan and the others said outside. Even when they kept repeating the past of the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" clan, he couldn't hear a word.
But of course his counter-question was just pretending to be confused when he knew the truth.
At this time, Meng Zhiyuan didn't care whether Li Yan really didn't hear it or was pretending not to hear it. He couldn't wait to explain.
"Friend Zhang, Friend Zhang, this matter concerns the lives of all my clan members. I hope you can listen to my explanation. We have offended you a lot in the past, but it is also our duty.
How you deal with it after listening to it is entirely up to you, fellow Taoist.
All the decisions to attack you were made by me, and have nothing to do with my people. Even if you kill me immediately, I will have no complaints. I just hope you can take my people away!"
After saying this, he didn't care whether the man named Zhang Ming in front of him agreed or not, and he started talking impatiently, fearing that the other party would not give him any chance to explain.
He was actually taking a gamble. They were traitors of the Lost Continent. If Zhang Ming had a close relationship with the demons, then immediate death would be waiting for them.
Because of the Taoist priest's presence, they didn't even have the slightest chance to resist.
However, as long as Zhang Ming is not a demon, he will take the gamble, and gamble the lives of his entire clan, because he can no longer wait.
On the other side, four "Dark Spirit Bats" who had also transformed into human form saw that Meng Zhiyuan had thrown all his dignity into the mud.
There was no longer the wisdom and dominance that they once had when they ruled the entire clan. Their hearts were aching and they just knelt on the ground in silence with their heads lowered.
As Meng Zhiyuan kept talking, Zhao Min's eyes kept flickering. Li Yan sensed a slight fluctuation in her breath and could only sigh in his heart.
"Senior Sister's biggest weakness is her family affection. If she can't control this well, it will become her Achilles' heel in the future."
He knew Zhao Min too well. Now that Zhao Min heard that the other party had watched one relative after another die, it must have touched the heartstrings that had caused her loneliness since childhood.
Meng Zhiyuan looked at Li Yan as he spoke and saw that the other party did not turn around and leave, but just stood there quietly, and the Taoist did not show any impatience.
My anxious heart relaxed a little. As long as the other party is willing to listen, there is hope.
However, the three people opposite him seemed like eternal icebergs. He could not see any changes on their faces at all, and for a moment he had no way of guessing what they were thinking.
"That Taoist priest is clearly also a human. Is the human race so powerful in the Lost Continent now? Zhang Ming must be a disciple of one of the top sects in this world."
He thought to himself.
Soon, Meng Zhiyuan told all the secrets. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this senior, that great senior said so at the beginning, the one who can save my clan is the one who can enter this cave calmly.
Please, senior, save my clan. If you can return to the clan, you and Fellow Daoist Zhang will definitely receive a huge reward. I can swear this with the lives of all the clan members here."
When Meng Zhiyuan reached this point, he finally kowtowed heavily to Master Qianzhong again, and the four people beside him did the same.
"Friend Meng, what you said was just the guess of that person at the time. Besides, we don't have the ability to leave the Lost Continent, so how can we help you?"
Li Yan said coldly.
"Senior, my clan must be a big clan in Qingqing Continent now. As long as you are willing to rescue me and others, I will not let you down afterwards."
Seeing that he could not persuade Zhang Ming, and fortunately Zhang Ming did not leave immediately, Meng Zhiyuan kowtowed to Qianzhong Zhenjun and asked for help.
Master Qianzhong finally spoke.
“According to what you said, your clan only had a few Nascent Soul cultivators when they went to Qingqing Continent.
Even after so many years, your Dark Spirit Demon Bat clan's bloodline can only be considered slightly better. At most, one or two gods can appear. What can they bring to me that will attract me?"
As soon as he said this, the hearts of Meng Zhiyuan and the other five people below suddenly roared, as if a deafening thunder had sounded.
"Even the Divine Transformation cultivators couldn't give him what he needed. Sure enough, he is just like the man in white. His cultivation has long surpassed the Divine Transformation Realm. He is not comparable to 'Venerable Duanmu' and the others."
For a moment, Meng Zhiyuan was shocked again and also had the thought of death.
Yes, the bloodline of their clan is not a high-level bloodline, and it is very difficult to break through the God Transformation Stage.
In that case, what can they offer to impress the other party
Especially at Meng Zhiyuan's level, he doesn't even know what a Nascent Soul cultivator needs, so how can he specifically say what attractive conditions
However, there is one thing he can be sure of, as long as his branch can return, the strong men in the clan will definitely attach great importance to it.
Because the tribesmen who stayed behind were not from any particular branch of the clan, but were the elite disciples from each branch.
If you want to give up on them, these branches must have disappeared and new branches have been born.
On the other side, Zhao Min's eyes flickered. She already understood what was going on. At this moment, she thought of the previous conversation between Li Yan and the senior in front of her.
She knew that Li Yan and his seniors were controlling each other, but she still couldn't figure out the purpose for a while.
Meng Zhiyuan and his four fellow apprentices were speechless for a moment. They could only keep knocking their heads, letting the blood continue to spread and expand on the stone surface...
After more than ten breaths, True Lord Qianzhong seemed to have made some decisions after consideration. He looked at Li Yan and spoke.
"The white-robed monk they mentioned might be proficient in divination. This kind of monk is quite difficult to deal with. They can see through the secrets of heaven and figure out our current purpose!"
At this point, his brows furrowed.
Meng Zhiyuan and his companions listened to the Taoist priest's whispers above, and were even more shocked in their hearts at the magical powers of the white-robed monk.
"It turns out that person was not just talking nonsense, he was really helping our tribe to survive the disaster..."
When Li Yan saw that Master Qianzhong pretended not to know that the man was Pei Buchong, he felt like laughing in his heart, but his face showed a cautious expression.
"Ancestor, this..."
Master Qianzhong thought about it.
"Well! It's their luck. The two of you are going out for training this time, especially to the 'Tian Ling Clan'. Those old guys in the 'Tian Ling Clan' are not so easy to talk to.
Then we can ask the strong men from the Dark Spirit Demon Bat clan to help us. I think there are at least Nascent Soul cultivators in his clan."
As he spoke, he seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
Meng Zhiyuan and his companions were already feeling very depressed, but when they heard the conversation from above again, they immediately understood some things.
Zhang Ming and that extremely beautiful woman should be the core disciples of this sect. It seems that they are going to Qingqing Continent for training and to visit some "Tianling Clan".
Meng Zhiyuan didn't know much about the Qingqing Continent. He only had a jade map in his hand, which only recorded the areas that had been divided up for the "Dark Spirit Demon Bat" clan.
As for what other races there are on Qingqing Continent and how large their territory is, how would he know
He was just a little demon at first, and this jade map was a relic left by his master and others in the forbidden area, and was placed in the secret room as a treasure.
But all this did not affect his thinking, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Is there a magic array in Tianling Cave that leads to Qingqing Continent..."
His face was covered in blood and he raised his head with joy.
"Senior, senior, there must be Nascent Soul cultivators in my clan. As long as Brother Zhang needs it, everything will be fine..."
Master Qianzhong just glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Li Yan and continued.
“Besides, I just took a look and found that the forbidden formation here is about to collapse completely. Although I can stabilize it, I need some materials to assist.
It will take a long time to collect these materials, so while this place can still be used, after you leave, I will destroy it and completely cut off the possibility for others to use it!
In the future, you two will need to return to the sect on your own, and this will be the final assessment of this trial!"
The cross-border teleportation formation in the "Tianling Cave" actually has nothing to do with the forbidden land formation. At most, after the forbidden land formation collapsed, the three sub-caves were directly exposed.
