“I haven’t encountered any along the way.”
Let Chen Tingyan pull him, Jianchou frowned, and answered while glancing at Pan Hexun.
Chen Tingyan was just asking questions, but he even included some sarcasm in his words, and even mocked Pan Hexun.
Not everyone is deaf, everyone can hear it.
The moment Jianchou looked over, Pan Hexun's expression suddenly turned ugly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"What do you mean, Master Chen?"
Pan Hexun is not someone who would be bullied.
With his current level of cultivation, there are few rivals in the entire Ding Zheng. How dare Chen Tingyan, a mere man who got to this level by eating elixirs, speak to him like this
He sneered, his eyes fell on Chen Tingyan, and there was a hint of interrogation in his words.
At this time, Jianchou had just walked a little ahead of Zhang Tang.
Chen Tingyan laughed when he heard this, looking like a good old man who is easy to talk to. He put his fan against his chin and squinted his eyes and said, "There is a saying in Buddhism, 'It is not the wind that moves, nor the sail that moves, but the heart of the benevolent that moves.' Who are you? You will know what I mean by what I say. What I mean is not important, but what Pan Daoyou thinks is not important?"
"you!"
Pan Hexun's pupils shrank immediately, and his long eyebrows slanted like knives, with a bit of fierce anger.
He wanted to refute something, but his eyes flashed and in the blink of an eye he saw Jianchou in the field.
So he rolled his eyes, forced himself to suppress his anger, and laughed.
"It seems that Master Chen is not very welcoming to me. I was thinking of making friends with you all along the way, but now it seems that it is better for me to go alone."
This seemed magnanimous, but when he spoke, his eyes were always on Chen Tingyan.
His gaze was cold, as if poisoned.
When Jianchou saw it, he frowned.
She didn't know if it was because Chen Tingyan was closer to her, she subconsciously sided with Chen Tingyan. Now she felt that Pan Hexun's words were extremely hypocritical and annoying.
Everyone heard what he said.
Even the old woman and Gu Ling who were talking on the side stopped and looked at them, seeming a little surprised and wary.
Who doesn’t know where we are now
A fight over a disagreement is the least serious, most people fight as soon as they meet.
Everyone was already on guard and secretly held their magic weapons in their hands.
Pan Hexun didn't care at all. He looked arrogant and superior in his silver-gray robe.
In the end, he only gave Chen Tingyan a contemptuous look, and turned sideways to look at Zhang Tang. He was polite as he bowed: "I have long heard of Mr. Zhang's name, and I wanted to make friends with him. But Mr. Zhang's companions don't seem to welcome me. I had companions with me when I came, so I won't stay any longer."
Zhang Tang had only one expression from beginning to end.
He was the one who had handed over the list in the first place. And because he and Jianchou were both from the Palace of Prince Qin Guang, even Jianchou's ability to enter the cauldron competition was inextricably linked to him.
So, he already knew that Pan Hexun was on the list.
However, he had never expected that Pan Hexun would take the initiative to approach him.
Seeing the other party being so polite to him, Zhang Tang didn't feel much, and nodded indifferently: "No need to see you off."
"… "
This sentence is almost choking to death.
She appeared polite, but it sounded as if she was hoping he would leave!
Fortunately, Pan Hexun had gotten to know Zhang Tang along the way, and now he barely resisted the urge to turn against him.
"Goodbye!"
He sneered slightly and turned away.
The speed was surprisingly fast.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a ray of light, flying from one end of the canyon to the other, and soon disappeared without a trace.
In a teahouse in Fengdu City, someone immediately shouted a curse.
"This Pan Hexun! Why is he such a coward? Doesn't he know how to kill this female cultivator before leaving?!"
"He just left?!"
"These people in the City of the Dead are so disgusting!"
"Why do I feel that Pan Hexun's attitude towards Zhang Tang is different from his attitude towards others. He is really a snob..."
…
Several people who had been following Pan Hexun and watching started to curse.
But there are quite a few other ghost cultivators in the teahouse.
Pan Hexun has been very good this year and has attracted a lot of attention, but compared to the gimmicks of other people, his performance is still less, and many people are also watching others.
At that moment, a monk heard their discussion and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He interrupted and said, "Um... the one you just talked about was Pan Hexun?"
"Yes, it's Pan Hexun's grandson! He mixed up with that bunch of cowards in the City of the Dead, and followed them all the way. Now he's been chased away! How shameful!"
The one who answered was the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a look of disdain on his face.
At this, the monk who asked the question was dumbfounded, and his mind was almost in a mess.
He pointed at his Xuan Ring and spoke incoherently: "But, but, but I was watching with Li Han just now. Didn't he go to find Li Han and almost fight with him?"
"puff!"
The man just picked up his tea and spit it out when he heard this!
"How can one person appear in two places? Did you see it wrong?"
"… "
At this moment, many monks around raised their heads, looked at each other, and said nothing.
Because of the limitations of the Xuan Ring, they can only follow one person at a time.
Li Han was not a particularly popular candidate originally, but because this guy had previously made a decisive "first kill" on the eighteenth floor, many people had high expectations for him and so followed him to watch.
Pan Hexun who appeared on the way, they...
Naturally, I saw it too.
I didn't think anything of it at first, but when another group of people in the teahouse were talking about Pan Hexun, things started to get weird.
"What... is... going on?"
In the Ice Prison, Jianchou and his group did not know that Pan Hexun, whom they had just met, had become a hot topic in the Extreme Domain.
After some conversation, she had a general idea of what had happened.
As soon as they entered the Ice Prison, Zhang Tang and his companions discovered that Jianchou, Gu Ling and Li Han were all missing.
But at the same time, there was also a Pan Hexun who appeared beside them.
Perhaps because Zhang Tang was there, this cultivator at the peak of Jade Nirvana did not attack them, but instead offered to travel with them.
At first everyone thought it was a good thing, but then they found out that this person was really not a good person.
The world of cultivation respects the strong, so the strong have a transcendent status.
Pan Hexun had every reason to be conceited, but he only looked at Zhang Tang among the group differently and ignored everyone else, which was a bit annoying.
It's not like everyone can't see his attitude, and even if they don't say it, they won't feel comfortable in their hearts.
Chen Tingyan is the most dissolute of all dissolute boys, and he has a bad temper.
Regardless of whether he took elixirs or not, he was at least a cultivator in the middle stage of Jade Nirvana, and he had a bunch of magical weapons with him. Just like Jianchou, it took him a long time to throw them away.
As a result, Pan Hexun looked disdainful.
This meant that he had become an enemy of Chen Tingyan, which was why he made such sarcastic remarks just now.
When talking about his own psychology, he was not at all shy and even seemed a little proud.
"You see, this guy is no pushover. Zhang Tang has a map and figured out the direction, so he found the only way to the entrance and is waiting for you here."
On this very cold day, Chen Tingyan waved a fan, stroked his chin, looked at the other side of the Grand Canyon, and sneered.
"The Pan guy already knew the way. I saw that he was getting impatient when he was waiting for Jianchou just now, so I just said a few words and sent him away as soon as possible."
Jianchou understood what he heard, and recalling his impression of Pan Hexun, he had more than just that many guesses in his mind.
Being impatient to wait for others is probably one of them.
Chen Tingyan gave Pan He a way out and he found an excuse to leave. It can only be said that the team that Jianchou belonged to did not accept his presence.
When the Hell of Hell asks him why he didn't "take care" of Jianchou, he will have enough reasons.
In short, if Jianchou was Pan Hexun, he would not stay for long.
She smiled slightly, but didn't mind it very much: when Bafang Yandian said "take care of", there might not be many people they trusted, so they could "take care of" him, but they didn't say they couldn't kill him in the end.
It would be better to hold her head in her own hands.
After thinking this through, Jianchou became more alert. He looked at Zhang Tang with a strange look in his eyes. "I've heard that the map of the Eighteen Layers of Hell is very mysterious. It's not that it's impossible to get, but it's very incomplete. I didn't expect that Lord Zhang has a copy. We are lucky. Now we are all here, except for Li Han..."
"He disappeared when we came down. At first we thought that he disappeared because you joined us, and maybe he went to look for you. Unexpectedly..."
Now Jianchou appeared, but the one with the strongest combat power did not appear.
Chen Tingyan couldn't help but look towards where Jianchou came from. There was no one in sight and it seemed that no one would come in the short term.
However, Li Han was a man of eccentric temperament, with unstable moods and the tendency to kill people at will.
God knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for him to stay with them.
Now that he was missing, everyone actually felt relieved, as if it was better for him to be missing.
Zhang Tang put his hands in his sleeves and did not express any opinions in the previous discussion.
When he got here, he raised his eyelids, and stared at Jianchou with a pair of penetrating eyes: "After a while, everyone will find this road. Li Han hasn't appeared yet, and he may have left. Should we go, or stay?"
Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, and didn't know the reason, Li Han did join their team because of Jianchou.
Moreover, Zhang Tang knew that Li Han was also on the list.
If there is one more person walking together, it will provide an extra layer of security for Jianchou.
But this kind of thing is not easy to explain. They are not sure where Li Han is, let alone whether he left on his own.
Everything depends on the choice of sorrow.
Zhang Tang and Chen Tingyan naturally had nothing to say. The old woman and Gu Ling were not close to them and it was difficult for them to talk to them. They just watched.
Only Wang Renjie from the day trip tribe frowned.
He was very happy at first because Pan Hexun suddenly came to help him. At least Pan Hexun seemed more powerful than Li Han and was not as moody.
It can be seen that Pan Hexun left since he became sad, which was really too much.
Now Zhang Tang, who has the highest level of cultivation among the crowd, actually handed the decision-making power to Jianchou...
Isn’t this too unreliable
Wang Renjie was a studious person and was not actually the same type of person as Chen Tingyan.
He admitted that he did not know this group of people very well, but there was no need to do so.
He immediately objected, "Now that someone has gone there, how can we still stay here? Li Han seems to have bad intentions, how can he be considered our companion? I think we should leave early!"
As soon as these words were spoken, his brows slightly frowned.
The others also frowned secretly.
Even Chen Tingyan, who was from the same clan, glanced at Wang Renjie with a flash of eyes.
Wang Renjie hadn't noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere yet. He felt that he was just expressing his own opinion. He even saw Jianchou looking at him and asked, "Jianchou, what do you think?"
I wonder what you think...
Chen Tingyan said this deliberately to pretend that the two of them had a very good relationship, but even Zhang Tang had to call him "Fellow Daoist Jianchou" for the sake of courtesy.
Wang Renjie was not familiar with her, but he just called her "Jianchou", which made people feel that he was contemptuous and not polite at all.
At the beginning, this person joined out of helplessness and followed reluctantly.
Jianchou knew it clearly in his heart.
But I didn't expect that this person's attitude now is even more difficult to describe.
The eyes seem calm, but often at this moment, the more turbulent the emotions are.
Jianchou's frown had relaxed. He only glanced at where he came from before saying, "I think Lord Zhang and Master Chen have been waiting for us here for a long time, which has delayed us for quite a while. The longer we stay here, the more likely we are to run into someone who comes later."
Indeed, the longer you stay, the more dangerous it is.
Through the tripod rings on their hands, they can see the nebula scroll that was supposed to be hanging in the sky above the Polar Region and know how many opponents are still alive.
It's only the first level now, and there are only fifty-one left out of the eighty-six people who originally entered the third round of the fight.
It is conceivable that, in addition to them, many people have encountered battles of varying sizes.
Jianchou naturally understood the situation and made a decision quickly in his heart.
"On the first floor, we should avoid fighting if possible. We should reach the seventeenth floor as soon as possible. Although Fellow Daoist Li Han has a strange personality, he is still our companion. It would be unfair for us to just walk away. Since this is a must-pass place, we will leave a note for him. If he comes here, he will naturally see it and come back to find us."
When Wang Renjie heard this, he frowned again and opened his mouth to speak.
Unexpectedly, Chen Tingyan responded faster, glanced at him, and said, "No problem. If he has already gone down to the second floor, then he can't see it. If he has seen it, then we have done our best."
Zhang Tang also nodded.
The old woman didn't say anything, but Gu Ling's eyes sparkled. She felt that Jianchou was more trustworthy and smiled like a little sun: "This is the best!"
It was not until this time that Wang Renjie suddenly realized that everyone agreed with Jianchou!
this…
What happened to this team
He frowned, feeling a little unbelievable, but also annoyed that everyone was contradicting him.
But because everyone else had the same attitude, he couldn't object, so he had to close his open mouth and watch coldly.
"No one objects, so I will leave a mark here."
Jianchou thought for a while and raised his hand to point.
With a "swoosh", a snow-white paper talisman flew out from her sleeve and stuck to the cliff of the canyon with countless icicles hanging upside down.
As her mind moved, a ray of light emerged from her fingertips, winding and circling, and landed on the paper talisman.
Chen Tingyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was the ancestor of burning black jade, a great expert. When he saw the paper talisman flying out, he recognized it and clapped his fan and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, it turned out to be a cloud-diao crane letter! One 1,300 black jades, this is the lowest I have ever seen. Jianchou, isn't your hand too big?"
When the people around heard this, they were secretly shocked.
One thousand three hundred Xuanyu is not a small number. It can barely buy an ordinary magical tool suitable for the Jade Nirvana period. But now all he has is a paper talisman for transmitting messages
this…
Isn’t this too luxurious
Everyone became suspicious of Jianchou's origins for a moment, and when they looked up at the paper talisman carved by Jianchou on the cliff, they had the illusion that their hearts were bleeding.
Although, the flower was not their Xuanyu.
It seems that Jianchou himself doesn't care.
She didn't even turn her head, staring at the paper talisman, the light in her eyes was very strange: "I just make the best use of it. Now there is only the Yundiao Hexin, which can barely be used."
Yundiao Hexin is the most useless type of communication talisman.
They can hardly move, and cannot fly between heaven and earth like the wind, thunder and rain signals of the Nineteen Continents. They can only stick to one place and wait for others to open them.
Generally speaking, it is used as a last will for others, and can only be seen by specific people.
If someone else tries to force it open, Yundiao Hexin will actively fight back.
If the person who wants to forcibly open the letter is too powerful and cannot be resisted, the paper talisman will be automatically destroyed and no one else will be able to see the contents of the letter.
It can be said that it is extremely useless, but also extremely safe.
only…
As one of the people who also understood the purpose and defects of Yundiaohexin, Zhang Tang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Jianchou's back, his angular face still stern.
"The letter from Yundiaohe needs to know the other party's soul mark before it can be read. Otherwise, it will be a 'dead letter'. Daoist Jianchou, do you have Li Han's soul mark?"
"… No."
As expected of Zhang Tang, his words hit the nail on the head.
Jianchou turned around, looked at Zhang Tang carefully, then laughed and answered.
“However, there is something special about my musical note. There is a small formation underneath. With Fellow Daoist Li Han’s combat power and ability, he should be able to discover it.”
She looked very confident in Li Han's ability and walked back to the crowd.
"Now, let's hurry up and get on with our journey. We have been delayed for so long."
Wang Renjie didn't think too deeply about Jianchou's words. When he heard that he was leaving, he was reluctantly satisfied and agreed.
But Zhang Tang was not so easy to fool.
He took another closer look at the paper talisman stuck on the cliff, but could not find any trace of the formation. He didn't know whether Jianchou's hiding method was too good or there was no method at all.
His mind turned slightly, but Zhang Tang didn't say another word. He just looked at Jianchou's back as he took a step forward and made his own considerations.
The group left the shadowed area and quickly headed towards the other end of the Grand Canyon.
Seeing that Chouren was a few steps ahead, he naturally noticed Zhang Tang's suspicion, but he had no intention of explaining.
Formation
Of course it doesn't exist at all. She just made it up to fool people.
Mark of the soul
Of course not.
The only thing that exists is indeed a "death letter" without the mark of the soul.
However, she was not worried at all that the person who should see the letter might not see it. She could even easily make the decision to abandon her teammates, not worrying that the other party would turn around and get lost, or simply could not keep up with their progress.
In this extreme domain cauldron struggle, anyone could lose their direction, anyone could die in the slaughter at any time, and the living would be tossed around in disgrace...
But, except him.
If the eyes of the universe could not even detect a tiny polar region, why did he go to all that trouble and risk being discovered by Kunwu Yashan by sailing in a small boat to borrow it
After all, it is a monster created by heaven and earth, a most evil demon.
He is small in everything except being brave and daring enough.
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and a dazzling light flashed under his eyes that were as deep as a pool of sorrow.
Her gaze simply swept across this magnificent and winding world of ice and snow, leaving no trace behind.
