After the three clans came to an agreement, they didn't tarry any longer and set off to find their opponents.
Xue Dingyuan brought Enlightened Master Wei to the south.
After traveling for thousands of miles, the two saw that although they were underground, the clouds were calm and the air was calm. The light was soft, and the sky was blue. Their field of vision was wide, and the distant horizon and the sky merged into a line. Countless creatures lived in the lakes and swamps. It was obviously a great scenery.
Enlightened Master Wei said, "Master, this place seems to be another world."
Xue Dingyuan said, "From the information we received, the earth abyss is incomparably vast, and the deeper we go, the thicker the turbid air. It's very suitable for our Spirit Gate to establish our sect here."
Enlightened Master Wei said, "Then we must occupy it."
After flying for several hours, the two of them arrived at a place where the rivers intersected. Xue Dingyuan looked down and saw that the river below was like a white sheet of silk. Among them, there were over a hundred large trees that had been chopped down by someone and connected to the river water, forming an etched symbol.
He made a slight deduction in his mind and said, "Let's go this way."
Bringing Reverend Wei along, they traveled southwest for another thousand li and saw a young man standing on a hillside overgrown with long grass. His upper body was bare and his shoulders were tattooed with strange patterns. He looked like a commoner, but his expression was abnormally calm. When he saw the two of them from afar, he cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master Xue, Reverend Wei pays his respects."
Xue Dingyuan landed with Enlightened Master Wei and cupped his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist Sima greets you."
The young man was one of Sima Quan's incarnations. He didn't say much and only said, "Please follow me."
Saying so, he turned around and walked down the hillside. He walked in front of a stone tablet and knocked on it.
The surface of the tablet suddenly turned into a rotating cyclone. He turned around to greet them and walked inside.
Xue Dingyuan and Enlightened Master Wei followed suit. Once inside, they looked around and found that they were inside an underground cavern.
Enlightened Master Wei asked, "Enlightened Master Sima, where is this place?"
Sima Quan said, "This is the Cave of Lullaby. Since the earth abyss is as big as the continent above, it is convenient for the Shanyang clan to travel. These Traveler's Chant Tablets have been built in various territories. These tablets are also used by the tribe to identify one's identity. If someone were to fly in the wild and get close to the settlement, it is very likely that someone will come up and question them. "
Dao Master Wei said, "If that's the case, how are the other Dao Friends supposed to proceed?"
Sima Quan said, "I have countless clones here, it's enough to send them to where they need to go."
Master Wei stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "No wonder the people of the world fear the Heavenly Demon."
Sima Quan smiled calmly and said, "The people of the world are afraid. It's not the Heavenly Demon, it's the human heart. "
He led the two of them forward for another mile and arrived in front of another Traveler's Chant Tablet. Coincidentally, there was a flash of light on the tablet, and a woman walked in. She was startled when she saw the three of them. He asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Where are you going? "
Sima Quan's gaze was faint as he smiled at her. The woman was immediately at a loss. Then, as if she had forgotten about the three of them, she walked towards the other side of the cave.
Sima Quan ignored her and pointed at the tablet in front of him, "Gentlemen, once we leave this place, we will arrive."
Finished. He took a step and walked out.
Xue Dingyuan and his disciple immediately followed. After passing through the tablet, the two of them found themselves back on the ground. There was a huge settlement in front of them, and the buildings were built along the mountain. The mountain was low and gentle, and at the highest point, there was a magnificent palace city.
Sima Quan explained, "This is one of the thirteen palaces of the Zhu Clan. It's said that it's modeled after the Heavenly Ghost's Heavenly Flash Palace. However, the Heavenly Ghost Clan has one thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight palaces. If the Shan Yang Clan wants to compare, I'm afraid they will have to put in more effort."
Xue Dingyuan said, "Does the Shan Yang Clan's Zhu You live here?"
Sima Quan said, "Zhu You Ju's roaming is erratic, but he usually roams around these thirteen palaces. If nothing goes wrong, he will be here in about a few hours. When the time comes, it will be up to the two of you to decide whether to fight outside or inside the palace."
Dao Master Wei suddenly said, "Since Dao Master Sima is so capable, can you help us later?"
Sima Quan laughed and said, "My real body is in the Western Desolate Domain. This is only a clone, so I can't use my full strength." At this moment, his expression changed and he said, "Zhu You has already left the palace, eh?"
Dao Master Wei hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Sima Quan said, "According to past practice, Zhu Wu should return to the clan to teach the clan's disciples today. This way, the time to kill the two of them can be staggered. However, for some reason, the two of them are still walking together. "
Dao Master Wei turned around and asked, "Master, should we delay the attack?"
Sima Quan said, "If the two of you feel that the timing isn't right and it's not convenient to attack, I can bring the two of you to a secret place to lie low first."
Xue Dingyuan raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Fellow Daoist. However, if we delay, there might be changes. Moreover, the two of us might not be in a bad situation. When Zhu You arrives, the two of us will attack."
Sima Quan said, "In that case, the two of you can first adjust your breathing. When he arrives, I will naturally inform the two of you."
Xue Dingyuan didn't stand on ceremony. Although Zhu You didn't have the strength of the Great Sage Qing Pi, he was still the master of an enormous clan. Thus, he had to treat him with caution. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist."
After he finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state.
Dao Master Wei, on the other hand, threw a mirror into the sky. A ray of light shone down and covered his figure. Only then did he sit down cross-legged and adjust his breathing.
Just like that, six hours passed.
Sima Quan originally stood there motionlessly until this moment. He suddenly turned his head and looked in a direction. He said, "They're here."
At the same time, there was a rumbling sound coming from afar.
Although Xue Dingyuan and Dao Master Wei were sitting in meditation, they were always on guard. They immediately withdrew from meditation and stood up from the ground.
When they looked up, they saw four giants that were over ten thousand feet tall moving step by step at the foot of the mountain. Although their movements seemed slow, every step they took covered a distance of several miles. On their shoulders, there was a temple on which an unconcealable vigorous Blood Qi leaked out.
Beside the four giants, there was a strange bird flying in the sky. A thin and withered old man was sitting on it with his eyes closed, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
But if one ignored his appearance, it wasn't difficult to determine that this person was the number one strongman of the Shanyang Clan, Zhu Wu, from the surging Blood Qi on top of his head. In order to reduce consumption, he hid his Blood Qi deep within his body and didn't let it leak out. Thus, when he wasn't moving, he looked even worse than an ordinary person.
Xue Dingyuan looked at him and said, "Act according to the plan."
Reverend Wei nodded and said, "Yes, Master." She shook her sleeve and took out a Yin Spirit Formation Diagram.
Xue Dingyuan flicked his finger. In an instant, the surrounding ten thousand miles were shrouded by an obscure fog.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Shanyang Clan?"
Along with an extremely domineering voice, a tall man with short hair and a long beard charged out from the palace. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and had golden earrings on his ears. He was the Shan Yang Clan's Patriarch, Zhu You.
He looked around and saw that he was surrounded by a dense fog. He let out a loud roar and his blood energy surged out. With a loud bang, the fog was pushed away, and the four giants under his feet couldn't help but let out pained cries. It was as if a mountain was suddenly pressing down on their backs, and they were all pressed to the ground.
However, when the Yin Spirit Formation Diagram in the sky received this strand of aura, it suddenly turned and an old man who looked somewhat similar to him emerged from it. However, his eyes were sinister and his blood Qi was even more powerful than his own.
Zhu You said in surprise, "Father Wang?"
The person who came out was the previous Clan Master, Zhu Dan, who had passed away thousands of years ago!
He immediately came to his senses and sneered, "A mere illusion dares to show off in front of me!" The Blood Qi and Qi on his head turned into a tornado and pounced forward.
Not only did the old man not dodge, he opened his arms and raised his head. He sucked hard and actually swallowed the Blood Qi and Qi. His slightly shriveled body swelled up again.
When Zhu You saw this scene, he could not help but be greatly shocked.
There were many people who could neutralize his Blood Qi attack, but he couldn't think of anyone else who could swallow it in one gulp other than those of the same blood. He couldn't help but feel shaken. "Could it be that this isn't an illusion, but Father Wang coming back to life?"
At the same time, Sima Quan's other clone brought Gongxi Zao and the others to a temple filled with black rocks. He said, "Fellow Daoists, if we go up, we will reach the residence of the Heavenly Ghost Clan's emissary. It's inconvenient for me to go up, so I'll take my leave now."
After Sima Quan left, a young Great Mystic cultivator with a head full of white hair said, "I was wondering why you were so clear about the internal situation of the Shanyang Clan. Turns out you've already bribed the people in the clan."
Gongxi Zao didn't reply, but looked up the mountain and said, "Something's wrong here."
Yuan Ji also said, "Just Now when we came here, we didn't even see a single person along the way. It's indeed strange."
The white-haired Great Mystic cultivator didn't think much of it and said, "There are five of us here. As long as the demon ancestor isn't here, even if the seven elders of the Shanyang Clan are here, we might still be able to fight."
Just as he finished speaking, a voice sounded, "Since you're speaking so boldly, you must have some skills. Then, let me have a taste of your skills."
The door of the temple opened and a handsome young man walked out. Even though he had a smile on his face, he couldn't conceal the arrogance that emanated from his bones.
Gongxi Zao frowned. The moment this person came out, he gave him an extremely familiar feeling, but he couldn't be sure.
The young man raised his hand and bowed, saying, "I'm Lian Ji. Greetings, fellow Daoists. Since you're here," he looked up and said coldly, "Then, all of you can stay!"
Gongxi Zao suddenly came to a realization. Whether it was the color of his clothes or the way he behaved, there were some similarities between him and the cultivators of the nine continents. He immediately flew backward and summoned the protective pearl from his body at the same time.
In that instant, a crimson light flashed before his eyes, and his body trembled. Then, as if he had broken free from a swamp, his vision became clear again. When he looked again, he saw that aside from him, the other four people were covered in a spirit light barrier.
He said in shock, "Talisman?" At the same time, he was shocked, "How can the people of the Heavenly Ghost Tribe use a talisman that only the cultivators of the outer heavens can use?"
