Chapter 450: Gathering of Cultivators
Outside Wanling Mountain, there is Yehua City.
This place is the closest gathering place for monks outside the mountain to the entrance of Fallen Demon Valley.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the miasma in the Wanling Mountains became thinner and thinner, and the best time to enter was getting closer and closer. Those from various sects in Tiannan who held the order to enter the Fallen Demon Valley gradually gathered here to wait for the Ghost Spirit Sect. The monk recorded Shen Nuo, while Xu Qingyang didn't waste any time and continued to ponder his new method of digesting insects.
Just by looking at the name of the technique, you can tell that it is a new transitional version, and it is only the first version.
According to the research progress of him and Lord Dayan, it still needs to be transitioned to about two versions in the actual practice verification, and gradually feedback and improvement, and finally use the silver inscriptions obtained from Xutian Temple to sublimate the technique.
At this point, it should be able to support him until golden blood completely replaces mortal blood and enter the next stage.
At present, part of the resources for his evolution still require the flesh and blood of seventh-level monsters, Nascent Soul-level elixirs, and the mana of the Nascent Soul. After this exploration of the Fallen Demon Valley comes out, and some time later, most of them will be needed. All will be converted into a spiritual insect support system until he no longer needs spiritual insects and can eat the heaven and the earth on his own.
"Brother Xu, there is news!"
"Nanlong Hou passed the news to me through the channels of the Zhengdao Tianji Gate. They will not use the channels of the Ghost Spirit Gate. They will still use the method left by Master Cangkun. They will meet again after entering."
"He also admitted that he leaked the information about the Ghost Spirit Sect."
"I also brought you a message. The previous grievances have been wiped out, but I asked you not to get involved in this operation, otherwise the two will break up..." In Ye Huacheng, in Xu Qingyang's temporary cave, Han Li slowly gathered all the recent parties. After hearing the summary of the news, Xu Qingyang smiled casually and said something vaguely.
Han Li didn't understand, but he felt it was sarcastic.
Ignoring this, Xu Qingyang nodded and said: "Since he is so defensive, just follow his wishes. Also, remember, after you find the remains of the ancient cultivator, pay more attention to see if there is any information in the valley."
Time flies, and several days pass.
On this day, many monks rose into the sky and looked at the Wailing Mountains in the distance. Large areas of the mountains that were originally shrouded in the poisonous miasma were revealed, fading away like the tide.
At this point, you are ready to enter.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the area outside the Fallen Demon Valley was one hundred thousand miles wide. After the end of the ancient war, numerous restrictions were placed in the sky and on the earth. They were interlocked and affected the whole body. The current human world There is no way for monks to crack it. The only place they can enter is what is customarily called the entrance.
This is a narrow passage about tens of feet wide and dozens of miles long.
Because the forbidden air formation can only be entered from the ground, the passage is usually covered with dense space cracks. Some are obvious and can be directly seen with the naked eye, while some are very secret and difficult to detect.
Even invisible, moving, disappearing and reappearing at any time.
That is to say, there are no rules at all, and there is no way to accumulate experience. Therefore, if you want to go in, it all depends on whether your destiny is hard or not. This time, the things developed by the Ghost Spirit Sect can safely send people directly into the valley. The point is that there are so many people. , it involves too much, and the Ghost Spirit Sect should not dare to do anything famous.
When Xu Qingyang arrived, many people had already arrived.
At first glance, there are no less than a thousand monks, most of them are at the Golden Core level, and Nascent Soul monks only account for less than one-tenth. The risk of falling into the Demon Valley is too great, and there are more people who are cautious and unmoved. If they are destined to go , come back with more life.
Some of them seem unfamiliar, but there are too few Tiannan cultivators who don't recognize him now.
After a great battle, he remained in command and assisted Long Han. Anyone who cared could remember his appearance.
"Brother Linghu, are these two your former disciples of Huang Maple Valley?" As the saying goes, which pot is left unmentioned, which pot is open? A certain trio is hiding in the corner, two men and one woman. One of them, an old man with deep eyes, seems to be smiling but not smiling. He said, but while he was speaking, he also glanced at the fellow female cultivator.
Ancestor Linghu had already developed the ability to hide his emotions and anger, and upon hearing this, he just nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
As for the woman, her expression was more expressive. She bit her silver teeth again and again. She looked angry, but in fact she was too afraid. The old man did not dare to tease this woman easily.
Even if she becomes an immortal cultivator, a woman's temperament is still uncertain.
The only one who can subdue such a woman is the man she is extremely afraid of.
Just when everyone was paying attention and talking, another group of people came. They turned around and saw a flying car of more than 20 feet arriving, carrying more than ten Mulan monks.
The two leading men were acquaintances.
Divine Master Zhong and Saint Mulan naturally saw them and even approached them on their own initiative. Han Li raised his brows. The blood feud between Mulan and the Tiannan cultivator had not passed long yet. He knew without looking that there were too many hostile eyes focused on them below. Master Zhong was trying to get the two of them to endorse them.
Xu Qingyang is relatively peaceful, and he can still drive away people if they come close to him.
"Brother Xu, Brother Han, how are you doing these days?"
Divine Master Zhong stopped the flying car and came to the two of them, greeting them with a smile. Saint Mulan beside him looked at Han Li fiercely. If it hadn't been for this person, why would they have lost so miserably.
Han Li touched his nose and looked away.
Xu Qingyang cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhong, how are you preparing for that matter?"
Divine Master Zhong's smile faded, and he said something to the Saint through the message, probably to tell her not to be so happy, and then replied: "I was about to inform Brother Xu and Brother Han that there is also a problem with the sudden people. They eat it in one go. The territory of our Mulan tribe is now overstretched, and we are in a bit of a dilemma."
The so-called dilemma is easy to understand.
The grassland was so big that originally each occupied half of it, which made it feel a bit crowded. However, after a swarm of swarms annexed the Mulan Grassland, it became extremely sparse and vast, making it impossible to defend effectively.
The Mulan people are almost resting.
They obtained Tiannan's permission and temporarily settled in Fengyuan and Yu Kingdom, but it was impossible to encroach on Tiannan's inland territory. The only feasible strategic direction now was to turn around and attack the scarce manpower, just like the people who once harassed Tiannan. The same as the south, and because it is backed by Tiannan, the geographical situation seems to be better than before.
Therefore, the Mulan people are already planning intensively and preparing to come up with specific steps to counterattack the grassland.
Combined with this long-term strategy, the matter of seizing the sacred objects of the unexpected people can also be embedded in the camera. Now we only need to determine the time with Xu Qingyang and then discuss a specific plan.
"Brother Xu, Brother Han."
"As you can see, my clan is not popular. I hope you two can help resolve some grudges..."
After talking about the sudden incident, Divine Master Zhong frankly expressed the current situation of the Mulan people, but Xu Qingyang had no motivation to be a middleman, which was a thankless task.
Master Zhong naturally knows how to embarrass people, but he has no choice but to do so.
Now we are relying on others, and this will not change for a long time in the future. It can be expected that the relationship between the many forces in Tiannan needs to be handled well. If it is handled well, it will be of great help to them in their counterattack on the grassland. No matter how bad it is, it will make it easier to carry out daily activities. , no matter what happens, if unexpected people call, you can get support as soon as possible.
In short, whether it is passive or not, it is beneficial to take the initiative to improve the relationship.
Xu Qingyang is now a good breakthrough point.
"Let's see, Xu gave the noble a suggestion." Xu Qingyang thought for a while, and now he also had to give a response.
Master Zhong hurriedly straightened up his posture and made a gesture of listening attentively. This made the saint on the side feel inexplicably sad. The dignified Master Mulan, the top monk in the human world, now needs to take the advice of a mere Tiannan monk so seriously. Such humiliation would not have been possible if she had not protected her well. Holy lamp, why is this so?
Master Zhong seemed to feel something, his face remained expressionless.
My own Saintess is pretty good overall, but she lacks the experience of some low-level monks, and her growth process is relatively easy. A little bit of skin is nothing, the key is whether she can get what she wants.
Given the current situation of the Mulan people, any goodwill must be fully valued.
Especially when facing some people with enough weight, such as the two Tiannan rookies in front of them. These two people will have the opportunity to dominate Tiannan one day in the future. By then, as long as they are still alive, the Mulan tribe will continue to fight with them. When dealing with the other party, you may have already passed away, but the affection will not disappear over time.
As long as you handle it well while you are alive, you can still leave a lot of shadow for the Mulan people after you die.
Here Xu Qingyang said: "The number of people on this trip to Falling Demon Valley far exceeds previous records. The interior of this place is mysterious and unpredictable. It is said that there are many taboos. If we accidentally cause any trouble, then..."
Master Zhong was thoughtful: "Zhong understands what Brother Xu means!"
He seemed to promise again: "Brother Xu, don't worry, if we encounter any difficult problems, we will never stand idly by."
With such a correct attitude, Xu Qingyang swallowed back the rest of his words. This is a good thing. With Mulan as the master, and with the large number of Yuanying monks in Tiannan, no matter what the situation is, it will not be difficult to end the matter in the end.
After chatting for a few more words, Xu Qingyang and Han Li said goodbye and left.
Watching them fall to the ground, Divine Master Zhong gradually frowned. What the other party said seemed to be just a speculation, but sometimes, good things don't work, and bad things work. They might really be involved in something during this trip. In the storm, even if you don't want to take action, you won't be able to escape.
"Master Zhong, I always feel like this person knows something?"
Not to mention that women's intuition is very accurate, Saintess Mulan looked suspicious and uneasy.
Master Zhong was silent for a moment: "Whether we know it or not, we can't retreat now. In this battle, our clan has suffered too much, and our heritage has been almost exhausted. And there are many treasures in the Devil's Falling Valley. If it weren't for I’m worried that the southern side will be jealous, so this time it’s not just you and me coming here.”
Saint Mulan's expression condensed, and she became determined again.
"Don't worry, Master Zhong, no matter how many risks there are, this saint will never back down..."
Not talking about them, when the monks below saw Xu Qingyang and the two landing, some familiar monks nearby stood up and said hello. Xu Qingyang and Han Li entertained each other, and some people even wanted to invite them to form a team. The two of them know their strength and footwork, and Falling Demon Valley is the most dangerous valley in the south, so they are definitely good candidates to form a team.
Even the three ancestors of Linghu came forward to ask if they were interested.
This old ghost has only had a few days to live, and he still comes to step in this muddy water. It was the first time that Xu Qingyang met this person. He didn't have any likes and dislikes. He just politely declined the other party's invitation.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, if you don't want to form a team, you can find another way."
"This place is extremely dangerous. As far as I know, many Nascent Soul cultivators have already formed alliances in advance and agreed to help each other when exploring inside. We are also people who know each other well, so we can also make such an agreement. By then, Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Han, and the three of us will be enough to deal with most enemies."
This was said by the old man with deep eyes, and Patriarch Linghu did not show too much demand.
Perhaps he also knew that his early deeds had ruined his character. Even if he took the initiative to make up for it, he was not qualified to push for more, so as not to annoy others.
As for the woman, she was naturally the great elder of Yanyue Sect, Senior Sister Nangong Wan.
The woman didn't want to come, but she didn't want to be looked down upon, so she didn't say much. She waited until her two companions finished speaking before she said, "Friend Xu, the matter between my junior sister and you can be discussed later, but don't worry, I won't take advantage of you this time when we enter the valley. Let's cooperate and benefit each other!"
Ancestor Linghu brushed his beard and said nothing, while the profound old man narrowed his eyes.
Obviously, he had also heard some gossips. After a brief observation, seeing that Xu Qingyang didn't have any special reaction, he smiled and said, "That's right, Friend Qing's strength is useless, especially the Blood Demon Sword"
"Hmm~"
When Xu Qingyang heard about the Blood Demon Sword, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He did not hide that Senior Sister Nangong Wan had misunderstood something, and said with a little reserve, "I brought this sword. If we encounter any powerful enemies from outside the domain in the valley, it should be able to play a role."
"Look, it's the Ghost Spirit Sect!"
The sudden shout interrupted the conversation of several people, and Xu Qingyang's thoughts were also interrupted.
The Blood Demon Sword should be related to the Ancient Demon Clan. He had an impression of it. It was very powerful. If there is a chance, he must take a look. As for now, he can't just kill Senior Sister Nangong Wan.
Looking back, hundreds of black-shirted monks are the people of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Among the three leaders, one is Wang Tiangu, who I have seen before. The remaining two, the white-haired man on the side, is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He should be an elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect. The one in the middle is easy to identify. It is Wang Tiansheng, the head of the Wang family of the Ghost Spirit Sect, Wang Chan's father, and the actual leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Counting on his fingers, there are already four people in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the Ghost Spirit Sect.
The bottom of the six sects of the Demonic Path has such strength. It is not exaggerated. Counting all the forces in the Chaos Star Sea, there are not many sects that can produce four people in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul at the same time.
After the appearance of the Ghost Spirit Sect, another big man came behind.
"Wei Wuya, he's here too?"
For great monks, no matter how mysterious the reputation of the Falling Demon Valley is, it may not necessarily attract them. When everyone was curious, Wang Tiansheng of the Ghost Spirit Sect smiled and greeted them with his hands clasped together. Judging from their enthusiastic appearance, the two of them probably had some kind of deal, and Wei Wuya came to the Falling Demon Valley at the invitation of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
After the two finished talking, the Ghost Spirit Sect began to arrange the formation.
Hundreds of people spent a full half day to create a giant teleportation formation with a width of more than 100 feet in the passage, which looked like an enlarged and improved version of some ancient teleportation formation.
