"Elder, don't be so nervous. We just came here to take a look, nothing else."
The leading man bowed his hand politely.
Elder Hua Feng and others did not really believe this statement.
He had clearly left before, but now he suddenly came back. After all, he didn't come back because he was bored.
Everyone in Lingyun Mountain looked at each other.
They really wanted to leave at first, but after dealing with Liang Shaokang, they couldn't get to the end no matter how far they went, and they wanted to know the situation here, so they finally came back.
They had stayed relatively far away before, so they could see everything clearly.
The most shocking thing was that Chu Yue was brought in.
Because they also encountered similar dangers when they were here before.
But at that time, almost half of their people were killed or injured, and the door was not opened.
"Elder Hua Feng, if you don't mind, we can help you try to open this door together."
The leading man didn't mind their vigilant attitude and continued.
After the words fell, everyone looked at each other in shock.
Elder Hua Feng also frowned.
"really?"
It is indeed difficult to open that door just by relying on their own strength.
It would be great if we could have foreign aid.
Although there are only about ten people on the other side, fortunately they are all powerful people.
Maybe it can really help.
"To be honest, we didn't open it just now and saw this door open, and we felt regretful. If we could open it together, it would be beneficial to both of us, wouldn't it?"
The leading man was honest and spoke his mind directly.
Elder Hua Feng stared at him for a while before finally saying:
"good."
Inside the gate, everything was quiet.
Chu Liuyue sat cross-legged quietly with her eyes closed, constantly devouring the energy of the world around her.
Different from the outside, the energy here is very pure, so there is no need to worry about the manic situation before.
The water droplets slowly rotated, condensing all the power.
Like water flowing into the sea, calm and silent.
As time went by, Chu Liuyue's aura continued to strengthen.
Time soon came to night.
Elder Hua Feng and others stood in front of the gate with serious expressions.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the surroundings were dark, with only the door emitting a faint red light.
Like the ghost gate of hell, it is cold and strange.
The atmosphere was condensed, and the air seemed to be frozen inch by inch.
"We've tried everything, but we can't even get within three steps of the door, let alone open it."
Elder Hua Feng finally spoke, and every word fell like a heavy stone on everyone's heart.
Many people had helpless expressions on their faces.
They really tried their best.
But there are some things that just can't be done.
No matter how many ways I think of, it still doesn't work.
"Elder, are you going to give up?"
Shi Ruier wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked with a frown.
Elder Hua Feng fell into silence.
Of course he didn't want to give up. Chu Yue was still inside, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
He was the one who agreed to take the person out. If he couldn't bring the person back safely, he would really feel bad about it.
He is still waiting to go back and accept him as his disciple after the incident in the prehistoric north is over!
Can.
They really can't open this door now.
Even the people from Lingyun Mountain were unable to shake the door even if they came together.
At this moment, an elder next to him suddenly exclaimed.
In such a quiet atmosphere, this sound seemed particularly abrupt.
Elder Hua Feng frowned and looked:
"What's wrong?"
The elder looked up in shock, holding a sapphire token in his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly.
"Hua, Hua Feng. Danqing is looking for us!"
"What!?"
Elder Hua Feng was startled and immediately ran over.
"What did Danqing say? Where is he now?"
The elder handed over the sapphire token in his hand.
"Look. My token just sensed news about Danqing."
Elder Hua Feng took the thing and took a closer look, and found that there was indeed an extra star dot on it.
"Dan Qing and I have gone out together before, so we left this as a back-up to facilitate contact with each other. But it has been many years. If I hadn't seen this just now, I would have almost forgotten it."
The elder explained in a low voice, with a bit of shock and joy still on his face.
"This at least shows that Danqing is still alive. As long as we follow this to find them, we should be able to meet them!"
Everyone had swept away their previous depression and became much more energetic.
After struggling in this wild northern territory for so long, except for Jiang Zhiyuan, they never saw anyone else from the academy appear.
They were almost desperate.
Now, as soon as the news about Elder Danqing appeared, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.
"Wait, this time won't be like the previous one, right?"
Another elder asked with some fear.
Previously, they thought they had found Elder Boyan, but in the end they could only draw water from a bamboo basket.
If it happens again this time—
"Probably not. Only when Danqing injects his own power can the message be sent out. So basically there is no problem."
Hearing this, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Hua Feng's heavy and depressed mood finally got some relief.
But immediately, his brows wrinkled again.
Danqing sent back the news, which is certainly a good thing.
But here they are.
There is also Chu Yue trapped inside!
It is impossible to abandon Chu Yue here alone.
The others followed his gaze and remembered this matter. They couldn't help but fell silent and looked at each other.
Elder Huafeng thought for a while and returned the jade token.
"You respond to his message and see if he can come over. We can't leave here for the time being."
The elder nodded.
"good."
After speaking, he asked again:
"So Hua Feng, how long do we have to wait here?"
If Danqing has trouble getting through, then
They can't wait here forever.
After all, this is the first time they have received messages from people in the academy since they came here.
Elder Hua Feng closed his eyes.
"Let's see and then talk."
In fact, he felt very unsure.
"Zhiyuan, you said before that this is the second time Elder Danqing and the others have separated from you, right?"
The elder suddenly raised his head and asked.
Jiang Zhiyuan was standing not far away, but it was as if she didn't hear anything. She stared at the ground blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
The elder raised his voice again.
"Zhiyuan!?"
Jiang Zhiyuan finally came back to her senses, with a somewhat dazed look on her face.
"Huh? Well, the situation was critical at that time, so we got separated. I don't know where Master and the others have gone."
The elder nodded:
"Don't worry, we should be able to meet up with your master and the others soon."
