In a vast grassland, a red dragon was lying on the ground, its body covered with scars. Hundreds of scales had fallen to the ground, blood had dyed a large area red, and there were dozens of large pits on the grassland.
A kind-looking middle-aged Taoist priest was floating in the air, his face was pale and there was a horrible bloody hole on his left shoulder.
Even if it is a third-level top-grade dragon, its magical powers are not small.
"Submit to me or die."
The middle-aged Taoist priest said coldly, his face full of murderous intent.
If he could tame a top-grade third-order dragon and cultivate it to the fourth order, he would definitely be able to take this opportunity to become famous in the outer seas, and even become a figure like the Three Absolutes True Man. This was definitely not empty talk, as there were only a handful of high-level cultivators in the outer seas who possessed third-order dragons, and no high-level cultivator possessed a fourth-order dragon.
Feixian Island is a closed space, and the dragon can't escape at all.
roar!
The third-level dragon let out an unwilling roar and lowered its head to show its submission.
Now that things have come to this, if it continues to resist, it will only end up dead.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was suddenly overjoyed. He opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood. He then chanted a spell and the blood turned into hundreds of mysterious blood-colored runes, which sank into the body of the red dragon.
He slapped his spirit beast bag, and the red dragon turned into a red light and sank into his spirit beast bag.
A huge roar was heard and flames shot up into the sky in the distance. It was obvious that someone was fighting.
The middle-aged Taoist priest transformed into a beam of light and chased after him.
······
In a secret underground cave, Han Changming, Ye Xin and Han Debiao gathered together to discuss strategies to leave Feixian Island.
They followed the cultivators from the Hehuan Sect into Feixian Island. The Nascent Soul cultivator opened a gap, and it would be very difficult for the three of them to open another gap, unless they joined up with Cheng Guangbei and the others. However, the area of Feixian Island was not small, and it was not easy for them to find Cheng Guangbei and the others.
"Why don't we stay here forever? Maybe after a while, the restrictions on Feixian Island will send us out."
Han Debiao suggested.
Han Changming shook his head and said, "This method is not feasible. Feixian Island is a relic, not a secret realm. If the Yuanying cultivators of the Hehuan Sect find the control hub and completely control the entire Feixian Island, we will just be waiting to die if we stay here. We can't just sit there and wait to die."
They have a part of the map of Feixian Island, which is their advantage. Feixian Island is not a secret place, and who knows whether it will be teleported away after a while. Han Changming will not put his hopes on others.
"I agree with my husband. We are just waiting to die if we stay here. Let's go find Fellow Daoist Cheng and join him!"
Ye Xin agreed deeply.
Han Debiao did not insist and agreed.
Yellow light appeared on the bodies of the three people one after another, and a pale yellow light curtain appeared out of thin air, covering them and disappearing into the ground.
The three of them moved forward underground, with the stone man leading the way in front of them, and their speed was not very fast.
An hour later, the ground began to shake violently.
Han Changming and the other two were shocked and stopped.
The ground was shaking continuously and a huge roar could be faintly heard, as if someone was fighting not far away from them.
"I'll go take a look, you stay here."
Han Changming gave an instruction and moved carefully to the ground, with the stone man following closely behind.
Not long after, he stopped and his eyes flashed with golden light, which was the golden eyes.
He could clearly see that four Jindan cultivators were fighting on the ground.
"It's them, are they coming in too?"
A flash of surprise passed through Han Changming's eyes, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He actually saw Lin Xuan and True Man Qingyan.
If he remembered correctly, Cheng Guangbei invited three Jindan cultivators, two of whom were men, who seemed to be Lin Xuan and True Man Qingyan.
Changing one's appearance is not a difficult task for high-level monks. With ordinary disguise techniques, as long as a large amount of mana is used, one can restore one's true appearance, unless one takes special elixirs or rare treasures to change one's appearance, which is relatively rare.
There were two cultivators from the Hehuan Sect, one was a burly man in a green shirt and the other was a woman in a red skirt with picturesque features. Both of them were in the late Jindan stage. Lin Xuan and True Man Qingyan were no match for them at all.
Han Changming frowned slightly. He didn't want to help, but if he just sat back and watched, it would be difficult for him to leave here.
At this moment, the woman in the red dress suddenly swung the red whip in her hand and slapped it towards Han Changming's position.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Han Changming emerged from the ground, but he did not use his true form.
"Friend Hu, that's great, let's work together to destroy them."
True Man Qingyan said this with some excitement, and people who didn’t know the truth would think they were good friends for many years.
The big man in green and the woman in red skirt had alert looks on their faces. Apart from the cultivators from the Hehuan Sect, all cultivators who appeared on Feixian Island were naturally enemies.
"Sorry, I have no interest in interfering in your affairs."
Han Changming's tone was indifferent. True Man Qingyan clearly wanted to drag him into the water. If he used his real appearance or real name, he would definitely be in trouble as long as the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect escaped.
"Since you don't want to get involved, please leave early."
The big man in green frowned and said that if the other party was unwilling to meddle in his affairs, he didn't want to have another enemy.
True Man Qingyan frowned. He was not surprised. They were just casual acquaintances and had no close relationship. It was understandable that the other party was unwilling to help.
Lin Xuan flipped his hand and took out a green storage bag, threw it over, and said: "Friend Hu, this is something I got from an ancient cultivator's cave. We are companions, this is your share."
If you want others to work hard, you have to offer benefits. Do you expect others to work hard just by talking? What a joke.
"Ancient monk's cave!"
Han Changming narrowed his eyes. He thought, if something is given to you for free, you should refuse it.
The woman in the red dress looked cold, she shook her wrist, and swung the long red whip in her hand violently, hitting the green storage bag.
There was a muffled sound coming from the ground, and a yellow earth wall more than ten feet high and about ten feet thick rose from the ground, blocking the red whip.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the yellow earth wall broke into pieces and dust flew. Han Changming also caught the green storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The man in green was about to use other means, but he seemed to sense something and said in a lost voice, "Oh no, there are still people underground."
He and the woman in the red dress flashed and appeared dozens of feet away, moving at an extremely fast speed.
The ground exploded, and a man and a woman crawled out from the ground. They were Han Debiao and Ye Xin who had disguised themselves.
The big man in green and the woman in red were shocked to see that the enemy included five Jindan cultivators. Without saying a word, they turned into two beams of light and flew away into the distance.
Han Changming did not stop them. If he tried his best, he could keep the two people here. However, considering that there were Nascent Soul cultivators on the island, he did not want to get involved.
Seeing the Hehuan Sect monks retreat, True Man Qingyan and Lin Xuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Friend Hu, we didn't use our true appearance before, please forgive us."
True Man Qingyan clasped his fists and said this in a sincere tone.
A hint of murderous intent flashed through Han Changming's mind. Now was a good opportunity to deal with Lin Xuan, but the noise of the fight might attract Nascent Soul cultivators.
"We found the hub here, and there is a way to get out of here."
True Man Qingyan noticed something was wrong and spoke quickly.
After hearing this, Han Changming suppressed his killing intent and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Brother Sun to lead the way."
True Man Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Daoyou Hu, please follow us."
He and Lin Xuan turned into two beams of light and flew away into the air. Han Changming and the other two looked at each other and followed them.
In less than ten breaths, they landed on top of a steep peak. On the top of the mountain stood a palace made of red bricks and glazed tiles. On a gold-painted plaque were inscribed three large silver characters "Feixian Palace". The gate was closed tightly.
"I don't know what material the palace door is made of. It is difficult for magic weapons to damage it. If the five of us work together, we may be able to open it."
True Man Qingyan pointed at the palace door and said with a serious expression.
"Let me give it a try!"
Han Debiao strode forward, put his hands on the palace door and pushed it hard.
His face turned red and he couldn't push the door open.
"I'm here to lend a helping hand, fellow Taoist."
True Man Qingyan flipped his hand, and a talisman with green glowing light appeared in his hand, exuding an overwhelming spiritual energy.
He suddenly shook his wrist, and the green talisman flew out of his hand and went straight to Han Changming and Ye Xin.
Han Changming was prepared. He stomped his right foot on the ground, and a yellow earth wall over ten feet high suddenly rose from the ground and blocked his way.
He and Ye Xin retreated with murderous looks on their faces.
Han Changming cast out the invisible needle, which turned into a faint green light and went straight towards True Man Qingyan.
The wind was blowing hard, and the invisible needle pierced into the wind and flew backwards instantly.
A light green round bead flew over and exploded instantly. A large green flame swept out and covered Han Changming and Ye Xin.
Ye Xin took out the Mysterious Ice Banner and shook it gently. Countless white snowflakes flew out and turned into a white ice wall more than ten feet high, blocking her way.
The soil under Han Changming's feet suddenly turned into quicksand. Countless yellow gravel flew up and turned into a huge yellow sand curtain, covering Han Changming and Ye Xin.
Boom!
A huge roar was heard, and blue, white and yellow spiritual lights intersected and waves of air rolled.
True Man Qingyan obviously saw Han Changming's murderous intent, and Han Changming did not intend to hold back. Since the relationship had fallen out, there was nothing more to say.
A green light flashed, and the green talisman exploded, turning into a thick green light curtain that covered Han Changming and the other two. Lin Xuan and True Man Qingyan turned into two beams of light and escaped into the air.
True Man Qingyan knew very well that once they opened the palace door and found the control hub, it would be their death.
They had no friendship to begin with, so it was not surprising that the other party killed him for money and property.
Han Changming frowned. He didn't expect that True Man Qingyan and Lin Xuan escaped. They were lucky.
Han Debiao frowned slightly, said nothing, put on the Chilin boxing gloves, and attacked the green light curtain. Han Changming and Ye Xin also took action.
Ten breaths later, accompanied by a loud bang, the green light curtain shattered into pieces, and the Chilin boxing gloves in Han Debiao's hands lit up with a dazzling red light, and he pushed hard towards the palace door.
The door slowly opened, and a spacious and bright hall appeared in front of them.
In the center of the hall is a huge human-shaped statue, and there are some green tables and chairs in the hall.
Han Changming's eyes flashed with golden light, and he carefully observed the situation in the hall. Han Debiao released two puppet beasts into the hall and ran around the hall, but there was nothing unusual.
"The control hub is indeed here. Let's get out of here quickly to avoid any more trouble."
Han Changming strode in, followed closely by Ye Xin and Han Debiao.
In a side room, they saw a magic array that was over a hundred feet in size. It was covered with mysterious runes and had dozens of grooves of varying sizes. Most of the spirit stones in the grooves had turned grayish white, and there was very little spiritual energy left.
Ye Xin picked up a spiritual stone and examined it carefully. She frowned and said, "These are all high-grade spiritual stones. If they are replaced with medium-grade spiritual stones, the effect will be greatly reduced. However, one thing is certain. This is just one of the hubs. The formation has been running for ten thousand years. It is impossible that it only relies on this formation. There must be other control hubs."
In order for the formation to keep operating, it needs sufficient spiritual energy. Dozens of high-quality spiritual stones are not enough to keep a restriction running for tens of thousands of years.
"Can we leave then?"
Han Debiao asked with a frown.
What he was thinking about was whether he could leave or not; he didn't care how long the formation would last.
"If I'm not mistaken, there won't be more than three control arrays. If we replace them with mid-grade spirit stones, it won't be a problem to activate some of the restrictions."
Ye Xin's tone was a little uncertain. She didn't know the number of control arrays and couldn't make an accurate judgment.
Han Changming took out the mid-grade spirit stones and replaced those that had exhausted their spiritual energy.
Soon, the magic circle began to shake slightly, and all the runes on the surface of the magic circle lit up.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud bang, a thick white beam of light shot up into the sky and hit the stone wall. A large area of dazzling green light emerged from the stone wall, blocking the white beam of light.
Han Changming frowned and did not notice anything unusual.
A quarter of an hour passed and they still remained where they were.
"It seems that the power is not enough. We need to replace the spirit stones for the second control array."
Ye Xin said with a frown.
"Where can we find a second control array? If we run into a Nascent Soul cultivator, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
Han Debiao said with a frown.
"Other control arrays are definitely no more than 300 miles away from here. Judging from the current situation, if we cannot find a second control array, we will stay here until the Hehuan Sect completely occupies this place."
Ye Xin said with difficulty.
"Uncle Wu, you and I will go find the second control array. Madam, you stay here and don't run around. Wait until you leave. If you leave this place, find a safe place to hide first."
Han Changming's expression was solemn. He felt that Ye Xin's analysis was correct.
Ye Xin nodded and agreed.
They walked out of Feiling Palace, and Ye Xin controlled the formation and closed the palace door.
Han Changming and Han Debiao turned into two beams of light and flew away. Han Changming's eyes lit up with a dazzling golden light as he searched for the restrictions of the formation.
The trouble is that there are quite a few restrictions on the island, and Han Changming can only identify them slowly, wasting time.
After a cup of tea, Han Changming and Han Debiao had not found the second control array, but they had discovered more than a dozen in the ruined caves.
A huge roar was heard, and a huge ball of fire appeared a hundred miles away in the southeast direction. Han Changming was shocked.
"It seems like someone is fighting over there, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Han Debiao suggested, frowning.
There is a certain risk in what they do. What if someone discovers the control array and starts fighting over it
Han Changming nodded, and flew towards the southeast with Han Debiao.
After a while, they appeared in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and bursts of huge roars came from the valley.
Han Changming's eyeballs turned golden, and he could clearly see the situation in the valley.
Cheng Guangbei was fighting with two Hehuan Sect monks, who were the same Hehuan Sect monks who had confronted Lin Xuan before.
