Yun Yang was deep in thought. "The Black Mountain League sent a total of twenty-three people to compete for the banner at the Mount Pentecost. Thirteen of them died here?"
"Yes, there are traces of an unusually intense battle at the scene!"
Yun Yang nodded and entered, obviously intending to see what had happened. The rest of them followed him in.
In the dark forest, there was a large area with a circumference of several hundred feet. All the trees in this area had been smashed and cleared away. The trees in the surrounding area were also covered with speckles of marks, which should have been caused by the overflowing Qi and sharp swords.
On the ground, there were thirteen corpses scattered everywhere. Some of the corpses did not even look like humans anymore. They had died horribly.
Broken blades, swords, and hidden weapons could be seen everywhere. The blood had already coagulated, and a swarm of flying insects were buzzing around it. With a wave of Yun Yang's sleeve, a strong gust of wind blew and the flying insects in the air fell down in droves. All of them died instantly and were sent away by Yun Yang with a breath. The place where they landed was dark.
"It's the Black Mountain League. We met these people a month ago, but their leader and top expert are not among them. But their Sect Leader and their number one expert are not among them. Um … there are also several Elders who are not there. Most of the people who died were seed disciples, but not all of them, only seven people. "
"The others who have not died should have escaped this disaster."
Yun Yang frowned. "But looking at the traces of fighting, the color of the corpses, the degree of decay, and the color of the blood on the ground … the smell … these people were killed at most four to five days ago."
Shi Wuchen and the rest nodded.
They were all old foxes in the martial world, so they could still discern the truth.
"We stayed in the arcane realm for a month. The people from the Black Mountain League should have left the Mount Pentecost after we entered the arcane realm. Why did so many of them die here after more than twenty days? This doesn't make sense, there must be another reason … "
Yun Yang murmured to himself.
Naturally, no one could answer this question.
Even Yun Yang, who was wise, could not answer it.
"Look carefully. Many of the flowers and trees that have been cut in this area contain some aura. Although it's faint, it's real and different. There's also this strange smell in the air. If you look carefully, you won't be unable to sense it."
Yun Yang's sharp gaze scanned the area. "Also, the huge marks on the ground weren't formed by the impact of the impact. They're obviously the marks of hooves and claws!"
"We've all fought with many Demonic Beasts in the Mystic Realm, so we shouldn't be unfamiliar with the traces of Demonic Beasts."
Yun Yang looked at the crowd. "Although the demonic beasts that have attacked us may not be the same ones we've dealt with before, there's no doubt that they've caused this. In other words, the reason why these people from the Black Mountain Union died was because the demonic beasts targeted them! "
Everyone nodded in agreement with Yun Yang's judgment. Just like what Yun Yang had said, everyone here had fought with various types of demonic beasts. As the saying went, one small clue could tell the general trend. They were definitely experts in the field of damage caused by demonic beasts.
"Although we can confirm that these are the actions of the demonic beasts, there's a new problem!"
Yun Yang said, "First of all, according to the time, the Black Mountain Union should have returned to their sects to recuperate. Why would they come here and lose their lives? This is already very strange. I believe that there must be something fishy about this. Secondly, the Black Mountain Union suffered heavy casualties.
The Black Mountain Alliance suffered heavy casualties this time. Even though they were not completely wiped out, they were not far from it. Under the hard work of the Sacred Heart Palace in the Bound of Universe, no demonic beasts have appeared in the areas under their jurisdiction for many years, let alone such powerful demonic beasts. How did they appear here? "
Shi Wuchen looked at each corpse and said, "There's one more thing. Although the battle was intense, it was very short. The battle started almost immediately after the encounter, and it ended not long after."
"Therefore, it's still too early to say if the Black Mountain Union was completely wiped out. I'm guessing that when the Black Mountain Union was attacked by the demonic beasts, some of them died on the spot, and some of them managed to escape. There's a high chance that the attacking demonic beasts would continue their pursuit …"
Luo Dajiang was puzzled. "But if that's the case … those who escaped from the Black Mountain Union were still alive. If they were completely wiped out, the demonic beasts should have come back to destroy these traces. The demonic beasts don't tolerate humans, so they wouldn't have left such obvious traces behind, would they? If the Black Mountain Union were not completely wiped out, they should have come back to see what happened after such a long time, or at least to collect the corpses, right? But the reality is that the people from both sides didn't come back. This is another suspicious point, isn't it? "
"Yes, it's indeed suspicious."
Ren Qingkuang came back after a careful inspection and pointed in a direction. "The Black Mountain Union should have broken out of the encirclement there and escaped. The demonic beasts on the Demon Clan's side should have also gone after them from this direction. Their combat strength should be no less than twenty. With this combat strength, it's more than enough to continue attacking the Black Mountain Union … "
Lan Ruojun said, "I've checked carefully. There are indeed only human corpses here. There are no corpses or remains of any demonic beasts. Could the strength of the attacking demonic beasts be so strong? "
Tie Qingcang said, "I've also noticed something. Apart from displaying their natural power in their beast form, the demonic beasts also showed traces of using weapons to attack … This means that at least a considerable number of the demonic beasts participated in this battle in human form. And the demonic beasts that could transform into human form must at least be at the level of a Demon General. "
The crowd chimed in one after another, and in a short time, they had analyzed and reconstructed about seventy to eighty percent of the situation. It was almost as if they had seen it with their own eyes, but their cognitive judgment had won the admiration of the disciples.
Except for a few, the rest of the disciples felt their minds go blank when they saw the corpses all over the ground. They could not figure out anything. It was only after listening to their Masters' conversation that they realized that so many things could extend from this mess!
"We've known each other for a long time. Let's work together and bury the corpses."
Yun Yang sighed. "Remember to set up a tombstone later so that the Black Mountain Union can find them. After all, they are high-level human cultivators. We can't let their corpses be exposed in the wilderness like this. "
"Should we … go after them and see what's going on?" asked Shi Wuchen.
Yun Yang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "As far as we can see, the combat strength of the demonic beasts is far above ours. Even if we go after them, we won't be able to do anything. Moreover, we have brought so many inexperienced disciples with us. If we act rashly, not only will it be futile, but we will also invite death upon ourselves …"
"Wuchen, Qingcang, and Ruojun, the three of you go after them and see what's going on. But, it's limited to scouting. Make sure your safety is the first priority. The rest of us will bring the disciples back to the mountain at full speed. Don't act rashly. "
"Alright."
Shi Wuchen, Tie Qingcang, and Lan Ruojun left at lightning speed.
Just as everyone was burying the corpses, Yun Xiuxin suddenly cried out, "Master, look over here!"
When she flipped over a corpse, she was shocked to see that the dead man's hand was under his body, and in his hand was a colorful bird feather tightly clenched.
The feather was three feet long, and there was an inexplicable aura flowing faintly on it. It was filled with a sense of gloom and danger, striking fear into the hearts of those who saw it.
Delighted, Yun Xiuxin tried to break the feather, but it did not break. With a casual wave of her hand, she easily cut a foot deep into the tree without injecting any mystical Qi into it.
Everyone could not help but look at each other in shock.
A bird feather that seemed to have fallen from a demonic beast was actually comparable to a divine weapon!
Yun Xiuxin played with it in her hands, looking like she could not bear to put it down.
Yun Yang frowned but did not say anything.
There was a new grave in the forest, and the tombstone on it read: Grave of the Thirteen Disciples of the Black Mountain Union. The Residence of Nine Supremes.
The moment Yun Yang led his disciples through the forest and saw the road on the opposite side again, everyone had a feeling that life and death were indeed unpredictable. However, the unexpected change was like taking a stroll in the netherworld.
Yun Yang was puzzled and even surprised by the feeling.
Although the change was unexpected, it was not dangerous for the people of the Residence of Nine Supremes. Why did he feel relieved? This was very unusual!
Could there be some demonic beast spying on them in some way that could hide from his spiritual sense?
As he thought of this, he was already holding a few pieces of Ethereal Amethysts in his hand.
If the other party could annihilate the Black Mountain Union, they could definitely annihilate the Residence of Nine Supremes! Yun Yang was very clear about this.
It was at this moment that a long, sharp cry suddenly rang out in the air.
The entire forest was instantly filled with a terrifying atmosphere of death. Waves of invisible Demonic Qi spread out, enveloping the surrounding hundreds of kilometers. Even the sky suddenly darkened.
"Oh no!"
Yun Yang did not even bother to lift his head. With a wave of his hand, pieces of Ethereal Amethysts flew out and formed a protective formation around the people of the Residence of Nine Supremes. In the blink of an eye, the last piece of Ethereal Amethyst was planted into the ground. As Yun Yang exerted force under his feet, he sent the other ten Ethereal Amethysts, which were the eye of the formation, into the ground beneath his feet.
A thick fog rose, forming another barrier under the heavy demonic Qi to protect the people of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
In the blink of an eye, a protective formation was formed perfectly.
Almost at the same time that Yun Yang's formation took effect, a humongous bird appeared in the sky abruptly. When it spread its wings, they were a thousand feet wide, blocking the sun completely. All that could be seen was darkness and haze.
As the giant bird descended, sand and pebbles flew in all directions. A powerful force came crashing down from the sky with a sharp whistle, heading straight for where the people of the Residence of Nine Supremes were.
On the other side of the powerful force was a large, shining golden claw that came crashing down!
Boom!
The entire land, as well as the surrounding mountains, shook because of this sudden attack.
Although Yun Yang and the others were in the protective formation and were only affected by the aftershock, they still felt dizzy. Yun Xiuxin and the other disciples lost their footing and fell to the ground one after another, their faces pale and their eyes filled with fear!
It was only a single attack from a demonic beast, but how could it be so powerful?
"The attacking demonic beast must be at least at the level of a Supreme Saint!" Yun Yang came to a conclusion in an instant.
A Supreme Saint demonic beast, and a flying one at that, and not just a beginner!
No wonder the Black Mountain Alliance was defeated so badly.
At this moment, an unusually strange voice rang in the air, "Who is down there? What an exquisite formation. "
The tone was like two pieces of iron colliding together, indescribably harsh and sonorous.
Yun Yang said faintly, "I wonder which demonic senior is in the air? We humans and the Demon Race have minded our own business for many years. Today, the Demon Race has invaded our border and killed our people. What is it for? "
The demonic beast continued to circle in the sky, sweeping up a large amount of sand and stones, causing dust and sand to fill the sky within a radius of several hundred miles. Many ordinary people were swept up, dancing in the air, letting out miserable wails that went unnoticed by the ears.
The sonorous voice rang out again with a hideous laugh. "Which sect is the young man from down there? Mind our own business? Where did this come from? The war between the Demon Race and the human race has never stopped for so many years. When has there ever been peace? "
"Human beings are despicable and shameless. They have invaded our border, abducted our demons, conspired against our descendants … Why can't I come in and kill them?"
Yun Yang said coldly, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. With Senior's extraordinary martial strength, is it right for you to kill the innocent?"
"Innocent? Is it right? "The voice in the air grew more and more intense." Who in the entire Bound of Universe is really innocent? Is it right for you to kill the weak of the Demon Race at will? "
Yun Yang's mind raced and he gave up on debating.
The flying demonic beast in the air had obviously reached a certain level of extreme thinking. There was no use in arguing and it would be a waste of breath.
Just as the voices of their arguments faded away, the whooshing sound rang out again. Innumerable heavy forces that could move mountains and fill up seas bombarded the Defense Formation continuously. Fortunately, the Defense Formation that Yun Yang had set up was complete, and Yun Yang continued to perfect and replenish it, maintaining the formation at its strongest state of defense. Even though the attacks of the demonic beasts were getting stronger and fiercer, the people inside the formation did not feel as strongly as the first time, and they gradually calmed down.
A moment later, the storm-like attacks in the air stopped abruptly, and the sky returned to their sight. Obviously, the huge demonic beast was gone, but no one felt at ease because the strong sense of danger was still clear, as if it was within their reach.
Yun Xiuxin and others were not the ones in charge of the formation, so they could only sense what was happening outside, so their knowledge was relatively limited. On the other hand, Yun Yang, who was in charge of the formation, had already noticed that although the huge demonic beast was gone, there was another thin figure in golden robes standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his sharp eyes staring thoughtfully at the Defense Formation that was shrouded in thick fog.
Although the other party was only standing with his hands behind his back, watching with cold eyes and not making any other movements, he gave off a feeling of being immovable and unshakable. This kind of perception was even more awe-inspiring than when he was facing the continuous attacks of the demonic beasts, and it was also more difficult to fathom!
The slender eyes of the man in the sky suddenly shot out a golden gleam. Looking at the formation below, he snorted coldly and said, "I'm the Golden Condor King. Junior, do you dare to tell me your name?"
Yun Yang smiled and said, "I'll let you know that I'm Huo Yunfeng, the Deacon of Sacred Heart Palace. If you know what's going on, leave now!"
As soon as Yun Yang said that, Yun Xiuxin and others were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
'What did I hear? Did I hear it wrong?'
But when they saw the same look in the others' eyes, they all knew that they did not hear it wrong!
'So … Boss, Master, His Lordship is wrong?'
Up above, the Golden Condor King said mockingly, "So, you're the Deacon of Sacred Heart Palace. You're indeed extraordinary to have such a profound knowledge of formations … Hmph, if you're not the Deacon of Sacred Heart Palace, I'm afraid you won't be able to support such a formation. But, since you're the Deacon of Sacred Heart Palace, why don't you dare to come out and fight me head-on?"
'What? What did we just hear? Did he believe us? '
Shi Wuchen, Yun Xiuxin, and the others exchanged another round of puzzled glances.
Yun Yang said faintly, "I've never been one to show off my bravery, and I won't fall for the so-called goading. Besides, there are many of my disciples here, so I won't fall for your trick. Are you being reckless? "
After a moment of silence, the Golden Condor King said lightly, "Deacon Huo, your formation is indeed exquisite, and I can't break it. In that case, why don't we make a deal? "
Yun Yang said calmly, "Go ahead, Golden Condor King."
"My son was cultivating in the Demon King's forest, but he was kidnapped by the so-called Black Mountain League … I came out of the mountain in a rage and found my way here, but my son has already been sold to someone else … My heart ached …"
"I know that the power of the Sacred Heart Palace is unparalleled in the Bound of Universe. Being a deacon means that you have a lot of authority. If Deacon Huo is willing to lend a hand and help me find my son, I will leave immediately without another word. I will not linger and I will also swear to owe you a favor. I'll be eternally grateful! "
The Golden Condor King said, "Consider it, Deacon Huo."
What? The other party really believed what Boss, Master, and Lord of the Sacred Heart Palace had said, and was certain that he was the Deacon of Sacred Heart Palace. He even made a request for help? Wasn't this too outrageous and weird?
The juniors were a little confused.
Yun Yang's thoughts about the Golden Condor King's words were different from those of the Residence of Nine Supremes. He could tell that the Golden Condor King's words were full of sincerity and sincerity.
As the king of the Demon Race, he should never lower his head to a human for help. However, this was the territory of the human race in the Bound of Universe. No matter how powerful he was, it was far less convenient for him to search for missing children in the human world than it was for humans.
The status of the Sacred Heart Palace's Deacon was extraordinary. As long as he helped sincerely, it was not as simple as doing half the work for twice the result. His words were the law, and no one dared to disobey his orders!
As for why the Golden Condor King believed that Yun Yang was the Sacred Heart Palace's Deacon so easily, the reason was even simpler. With the Golden Condor King's eyesight, he could naturally tell that Yun Yang's cultivation base was mediocre. It was hard to win people's trust by calling himself the Sacred Heart Palace's Deacon, but his formation was so amazing that it was enough to make him invincible.
Moreover, the Golden Condor King was a discerning man. He could clearly tell that while Yun Yang's formation was amazing and his wealth was unimaginably rich, the item that maintained the amazing formation was a supreme grade energy crystal. Even if it was not the rarest supreme grade spiritual jade, it was still far above it. Yun Yang's wealth was not something an ordinary person could compare with. At least, he was much stronger than the Black Mountain League that he had almost overthrown previously.
Combining the above points, he came to a conclusion. Yun Yang was a genius in formations and extremely wealthy, but his cultivation base was not very high. If such a person did not have a considerable background, he would have long been slaughtered like a fat sheep. Therefore, his identity as a Sacred Heart Palace's deacon was actually a logical one!
Since he could not shake the Golden Condor King in a short period of time, he could only try to appease the Golden Condor King. The best way to appease the Golden Condor King was to show a considerable amount of kindness!
Yun Yang pondered for a moment before saying, "Since the Golden Condor King has said so, it means that you've given me some face. I will definitely pay more attention to this matter in the future. However, looking for a person is still like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not easy. I can't promise more, I can only do my best. "
The Golden Condor King said, "I am already very grateful that the Deacon is willing to lend a helping hand. I will leave a feather that I've painstakingly given to the Deacon. As long as my child is within a hundred miles, this feather will respond."
Without waiting for Yun Yang to answer, a golden light flashed in the air and a feather descended from the sky.
"Deacon Huo, if you can find my beloved child, I will be eternally grateful. I will not go back on my word when I vow to do you a favor!"
A long howl sounded, "Children, follow me to annihilate the Black Mountain League!"
A strong gust of wind rose in the air as the Golden Condor King turned into a thousand-foot-tall creature once again. Flapping his wings, countless huge shadows soared from all directions as well, covering the entire sky in an instant. Heaven and earth were dimmed, and one could not even see their own fingers if they stretched out their hands.
After a while, the demonic clouds dissipated, but a large patch of dark clouds soared into the distance, whistling towards the south.
Along the way, the Golden Condor King's eyes shone with a golden light as he murmured, "Huo Yunfeng … Huo Yunfeng … Sacred Heart Palace actually has such a formation?"
The Golden Condor King and his army had left just like that.
Yun Yang waited for a while to make sure that the sense of danger from before was gone before he withdrew the formation and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. This was the first time he had encountered the Demon Race head-on, but the powerful strength that the other party had displayed had deeply shocked Yun Yang!
Dozens of feet away, there was a feather that was a hundred feet long stuck straight into the rock. It was emitting a bright light that was like a flame. However, this feather was like a huge flag that stood proudly, invincible.
It was only a feather, but the strong light it emitted was enough to illuminate an area of ten miles!
Yun Yang walked forward and could clearly feel the powerful power attached to the feather.
"Master, how could the Golden Condor King be so gullible? He believed you with just a few words, "Yun Xiu thought," This Demon Race … is a little too … "
The little girl could not finish her sentence.
Yun Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Believe me? You've underestimated the Golden Condor King. It's fine to say that he believes me, but it's also fine to say that he didn't believe a word I said at all! "
Looking at the feather, Yun Yang stood still thirty feet away.
Then, he used his divine sense to check himself and asked Emmie to do the same. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he felt relieved and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go now!"
Before his voice echoed in the air, he led the group and left.
Not only were the disciples puzzled, but even Shi Bujia, Wu Menghuan, and the others were surprised.
'That feather is the token that the Demon King gave you. Moreover, it looks like something good … '
'Are you going to give it up just like that?
What about the previous promise? Are you going to forget about it? '
"Master, you …" Yun Xiu looked at the feather reluctantly.
'What a waste …'
'This feather is at least many times better than the one in my hand, isn't it?'
Yun Yang's face was dark as he led his disciples forward at top speed. It was not until they were forty to fifty miles away that he slowed down a little and said with a dark face, "Do you really think that the Demon King is so easy to talk to? This is a trap, an obvious trap. "
Wu Menghuan was puzzled. "If it's a trap, they could have done it long ago after we left the defensive formation."
Yun Yang smiled and said, "The trap is not here."
He frowned and said, "He said that he left the feather behind to ask for our help, but in reality … this feather is hidden in the Golden Condor King's divine sense. But in reality … this feather is hidden in the Golden Condor King's own consciousness. If we really take this feather, then no matter where we go, as long as the Monster King wants to find us, he can find us at any time. This is one of the dangers. "
Yun Xiu's mouth was agape.
"Furthermore, with the opponent's Holy Venerable cultivation base, if he used a Divine Sense Transformation Technique on this tail feather, wouldn't it be the same as bringing the Demon Monarch directly to our home if we really take this tail feather back? As long as the other party wills it, they will be able to arrive immediately. Although the protective formation I used is enough to resist the other party's attack, it needs time to set up the formation. If the other party suddenly appears and catches me off guard, we will be defeated in an instant. "
"If he follows us directly to the Residence of Nine Supremes …"
"And this is only our own danger," Yun Yang said faintly.
"Although he can't hurt us because of our formation, there's no need for him to explain to us why he came here."
Ren Qingkuang asked in surprise, "Isn't the Demon King showing his goodwill to us by explaining the reason? He even said that as long as we find the child, he'll make a vow. That's a vow witnessed by Heaven. Once he breaks it, he'll be punished by Heaven!"
"Sigh, the so-called vow is the biggest smokescreen. In fact, his explanation includes why he came here and that his child was captured by the Black Mountain Alliance. "
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "I only believe half of this reason at most!"
"Let me ask you, since he's the Golden Condor King's descendant and has grown to the point where he can roam the martial world, what cultivation base should he have? Putting aside the level of cultivation base, who can enter the Demon King's forest to abduct the child? "
"I don't think the Black Mountain Alliance has such an ability." Yun Yang smiled and said, "The fact that they killed the men of the Black Mountain Alliance without searching the spatial items of the deceased is enough to prove this."
"In other words, the purpose of their ambush isn't to search."
"Since it's not to search, then the disappearance of the child is just a plausible reason that they came here on their own."
"This reason was spread by themselves, they don't need anyone to believe it. However, if we really help to search, we'll become colluding with them instead. If the Golden Condor King is the enemy of the human race, wouldn't we be traitors to the human race if we colluded with him?"
"As for the vow, since it's not true that the descendant was abducted, how can we find the target in exchange for the other party's favor? The crux of the vow doesn't exist. No matter how much promise we make, it's only a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror, something that can be seen but not reached!"
"Then, why do we have to take this? Are we trapped in our own trap? "
"Now, the only thing we need to do is to return home as soon as possible and pretend that we know nothing."
Sun Mingxiu said cautiously, "But … Sect Leader Master, if we just ignore it this time, I'm afraid that in the future …"
Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, "With the Golden Condor King's decisiveness, how can he be ordinary? Since he can't break our defensive formation, he won't waste any more time on us, especially when he doesn't know where we are from. Even if he's looking for someone by name, he'll only look for Huo Yunfeng of the Sacred Heart Palace. If he really meets Deacon Huo, he'll only fight, and there's no other way. "
Hearing Yun Yang's words, everyone was suddenly enlightened and could not help laughing out loud. It turned out that this was the real reason why Yun Yang had registered Huo Yunfeng's name.
The Sacred Heart Palace and the Demon Race were on completely different sides, and there was no room for negotiation. If Huo Yunfeng really met the Golden Condor King, he could only fight him head-on.
"But Master, why did he believe you so easily when you gave him a fake name?" Yun Xiuxin was puzzled and asked, "Since he's a Demon King, he should at least have the ability to discriminate, shouldn't he?"
Yun Yang chuckled and said, "It's because he's experienced and knowledgeable that he knows it's impossible for ordinary sects to have such an exquisite formation. Since we can come up with such an exquisite defensive formation and have enough wealth to maintain it for a long time … then it's more reasonable for me to register with the Sacred Heart Palace."
"Of course, he won't believe it completely. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't believe it at all. Since he can't attack it immediately, he naturally has to change his method. This is the so-called balancing act.
"Or I should say that he's targeting the Sacred Heart Palace, or perhaps it's a game between the Demon Race and the Sacred Heart Palace."
Yun Yang explained in detail, "So, we shouldn't get involved in the current matter if we can. We really can't afford to get involved in it with our current weak bodies. It's not about justice or morality."
Everyone came to a sudden understanding, and all of them thought to themselves, The other party looks like a stupid, dark, and crude Demon King that speaks with utmost sincerity, yet he's actually hiding such sinister thoughts. Isn't it astounding?
The group continued forward, picking up their pace. After another hundred miles or so, Shi Wuchen and the other two caught up with them.
"The Black Mountain Alliance was almost wiped out …" Shi Wuchen's expression was solemn. "We followed the trail for about a few hundred miles and found some bodies of the Black Mountain Alliance. It seems that only the sect leader and the sect's top expert escaped … Everyone else died a violent death. "
Tie Qingcang said, "I chased in another direction and found the bodies of the Golden Cauldron Sect's people by chance … It seems that not many of them escaped."
Everyone's expression changed abruptly when they heard this.
Lan Ruojun wiped away his cold sweat and said, "I also saw the Daluo Sect's people fighting a flock of Golden Eagles in the other direction. The situation was not good, but they were still able to hold their ground. I didn't dare to attack directly. After a while, a large flock of Golden Eagles suddenly came from afar … So I left quietly. If I had intervened, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return! "
Yun Yang sighed, his expression solemn as he said, "It seems that this is a targeted action by the entire Golden Eagle tribe. I don't know why, but there must be a reason. They are targeting more than one sect … "
Yun Yang took a deep breath and said, "We need to rush back to the Residence of Nine Supremes immediately and spread the news as soon as possible, especially to the Sacred Heart Palace. Judging from the situation of the three sects with Celestial Luck Banners being attacked, perhaps the few deacons of the Sacred Heart Palace are also targeted. "
The group grew even more silent as they hurried on at the highest speed.
The sky was already dark by the time the group covered three thousand miles in one go.
Yun Yang did not choose to pitch a tent in the wild but found a nearby village to stay in a farmer's house.
That night, the sounds of explosions were heard all around them, and it seemed that there was a great battle going on in every direction. There was a period of time when the sounds of battle came from afar and even reached above their heads, but they soon faded away.
These were the sounds caused by the battle between top experts!
Yun Yang had been sitting quietly, listening to the movements around him. He was meticulous and careful, keeping his guard up.
If he had not brought these disciples with him at this moment, he would have gone out long ago with his personality. But now, he could not be impulsive, and he could not rashly cause trouble.
Yun Yang was not afraid, and he was confident that he would not die. With his abilities and various manifestations, it would be difficult for even the Demon Race to kill him. But the little fellows he had brought with him could not do so.
In the second half of the night, the noise that had been ringing for most of the night suddenly disappeared.
There was a dead silence between heaven and earth, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After a while, Yun Xiuxin and the others opened their eyes, still staring out of the window in bewilderment.
"Practice hard, all of you!" Yun Yang said indifferently without opening his eyes, "No matter how loud the noise outside is, what does it have to do with you? Being so curious … will kill you. "
"Remember, when you travel the martial world in the future, you must never have curiosity."
"Sleep, all of you."
…
Early in the morning …
The group continued on their way back. However, when they passed by a forest, Yun Yang's ears twitched, and he turned his head abruptly.
He saw a man slowly walking out of the forest and looking at him with clear eyes.
The people of the Residence of Nine Supremes stopped and focused their eyes on the newcomer.
The man was tall, tall, and had a square face. He was none other than Huo Yunfeng, whom Yun Yang had borrowed a few days ago.
But now, Huo Yunfeng's face was pale and sorrowful. He no longer had the bearing and demeanor he had before. Although he tried his best to maintain his previous bearing, he was unable to do so.
"Sect Leader Yun, we meet again."
Yun Yang strode forward and asked, "Deacon Huo? Why are you here? "
Huo Yunfeng smiled faintly and said, "I'm just a tiger who has fallen. I'll have to ask for your help next, Sect Leader Yun."
Shi Wuchen's expression changed. "Deacon Huo … You are badly injured, aren't you?"
Huo Yunfeng sneered and said, "Yes, I am."
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat. Huo Yunfeng's posture showed that he was very defensive. Although he was asking for help, his attitude had not changed much.
"Sect Leader Yun, I need you to escort me back to the Sacred Heart Palace!"
Huo Yunfeng looked at Yun Yang with a pair of gloomy eyes. "It's an urgent matter!"
Yun Yang only pondered for a moment before he made a prompt decision. "Wuchen, you and the disciples will return to the Residence of Nine Supremes according to the plan. Then, you will cultivate in seclusion for at least a month, and then let them go out to gain experience. The disciples' first experience must not exceed three months. After that, you can do whatever you want. Do you understand?"
Luo Dajiang took a step forward and said, "Boss, I'll go with you."
"No, no one. I'll help Deacon Huo alone. I only need to worry about myself and do whatever I want. If anything happens, I can act flexibly, "Yun Yang said faintly. "You are too big a target to follow. Even if two people can work together, it's not as good as one person working together," Yun Yang said faintly.
"Besides, the future of the Residence of Nine Supremes is still on your shoulders. How can the burden be so light?"
Yun Yang stood up and said, "Don't stay idle when you go back. The disciples will go out to gain experience, and you will also go out to explore the martial world. "
"Understood."
Luo Dajiang understood Yun Yang's meaning in an instant. It was impossible for the little fellows to go out without someone to watch them.
"Hurry up and go on your way," Yun Yang said. "Go now!"
Then, without another word, he carried Huo Yunfeng on his back and sped in another direction, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go!" Shi Wuchen looked in the direction Yun Yang had left in a daze and immediately gave the order.
Urging the disciples who were still reluctant to leave, the group set off once more.
…
"Not bad. Sect Leader Yun is indeed a man of character. You are decisive and bold! "
Huo Yunfeng was full of praise from Yun Yang's back.
"Sect Leader Yun, I believe you can see that I'm at the end of my rope now. I'm also aware that danger is nearby. So, you made a prompt decision to separate from them immediately. He didn't even want to say a single word of explanation. Such decisiveness is indeed worthy of being a sect leader. "
Yun Yang said with a chuckle, "Even Deacon Huo, a man with an extraordinary cultivation base, is seriously injured. How can a group of small fries like us from Residence of Nine Supremes stop him? Of course, we have to plan ahead. Survival is our top priority, but we all have the same thought."
Huo Yunfeng coughed, and a gush of blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth. The blood was golden.
It was still sticky when it came out of his mouth, but it solidified the moment it fell into Yun Yang's neck.
Yun Yang had always been a clean man, so he was not worried about this change. With a quick thought, he reached out and took out a large piece of gold.
It was hard and heavy, and it was definitely gold!
"This …"
Yun Yang was shocked.
"I was hit by the Golden Condor King's Golden Claw."
Huo Yunfeng chuckled. "The Golden Condor King is an unusual species of the Demon Clan. It can be said to be an outstanding flying demon. It can travel hundreds of thousands of miles in a day, and its speed is extremely fast. Its inherited cultivation method has the powerful effect of turning ordinary things into gold. Once its power lands on anything, it will be able to turn it into gold. If it lands on a person's body, even if the victim has an extraordinary physique, he will only be able to hold on for three days at most. At the end of the three days, the victim's bones and blood will all turn into gold. "
Yun Yang was shocked. "Today is the first day?"
"The first day!" Huo Yunfeng smiled faintly and said indifferently, "I still have a little more than a day and a half to live."
Yun Yang was silent for a moment.
"The other two deacons …"
Huo Yunfeng smiled and said, "Seeing that things couldn't be done, I fled with my two brothers in three different directions to avoid the worst situation of being caught in one fell swoop."
"Since you fled in different directions, with Deacon Huo's ability, the Golden Condor King shouldn't have caught up with you, right?" Yun Yang raised his eyebrows.
Huo Yunfeng was silent for a moment before he said faintly, "I'm fast and have a high cultivation base. Moreover, I'm smart and flexible, especially when it comes to dealing with unexpected situations. My two brothers are definitely not as good as me."
A look of admiration appeared on Yun Yang's face. "So, after Deacon Huo split up, you took the initiative to find the Golden Condor King?"
Huo Yunfeng laughed and said, "It's not that I'm not loyal. I just left some traces to make it easier for the Golden Condor King to chase me."
He gazed into the distance with a complicated expression on his face and said, "The two of them are really stupid. I'm sure they will try their best to avenge me in the future. Yun Yang, if I don't see them again … you must pass on my message to them! "
"Please do."
"I hope that my brother can bring the Golden Condor King's inner core to my grave in the future. He must come and pay his respects to me while he's still alive. If his soul reaches the netherworld, I'll definitely die with everlasting regret!" Huo Yunfeng said word by word.
"Alright, I'll definitely bring it to them for you!"
