There was no distinction between day and night in the gloomy sky. The sky was neither dark nor bright, it was just a lifeless, ghostly appearance.
Zhou Qingfeng stood on the wall of the mud hut by the lake with a worried frown. The world in front of him was still the same desolate and unchanging appearance. All around him was the endless grassland. There was no sun, moon, or stars, no chirping of insects or birds. There was no sound at all. Staying here for a long time would make people feel like they were in confinement.
There was some kind of simple magic compass on the bodies of the Jianzhou people. Zhou Qingfeng found a few of them. After pondering for a while, he felt that this should be the compass of this damned place. But he was also completely clueless about where this thing was pointing.
The various herbs and spirit ores in the mud hut were sifted through, and the valuable ones were all thrown into the storage bag by Zhou Qingfeng. The less valuable ones were thrown onto several horses — these were left behind for Zhou Qingfeng by the people from the Jianzhou tribe when they fled.
The young lady of the Ye family had now become Zhou Qingfeng's only companion. This woman was not dead yet. This woman didn't die, but after Zhou Qingfeng saved her with great difficulty, she was like a vegetable. She could only stare blankly and didn't say a word.
"I say, aren't you stupid? It's hard to find a three-legged toad in this world, but do you think there's a shortage of two-legged men? " Zhou Qingfeng especially disliked this woman's silly look. Just looking at it made him angry. "You have the ability to make pills yourself, why do you have to rely on a man to live? Ye Xianggao doesn't want you anymore, so you seek death. You're too cheap. "
Zhou Qingfeng's mouth was especially vicious when it came to scolding people. He even made this vegetable angry. The young lady's originally listless eyes turned slightly. She raised her head expressionlessly and said, "You don't need to worry about my business. I don't feel grateful to you for saving me. You'd better think about yourself. Your enemies will be here soon. "
"What do you mean?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
The young lady casually picks up a magic compass on the ground. Zhou Qingfeng had fiddled with it but couldn't figure it out, so he threw it away. She pointed at the two needles on the compass that moved from time to time and said, "This is the Qian position, this is the Kun position, this is the Kan position, …"
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't know anything about the position. Just tell me, what did you see?" Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand impatiently.
"You're so strange. You don't know anything, and your cultivation base isn't high either. Yet, you're so capable." The little lady stares blankly at Zhou Qingfeng and then looks down at the spell compass, "Aren't you looking for the crack leading to the third level of Onigami? Didn't you find it strange that the time and position of this place are all messed up? In fact, the lake we are in is the center of the entire Yin Sky Dome. The Yin Sky Dome may seem vast and boundless, but this lake is the only thing that remains unchanged. "
"What does this have to do with my enemies?"
"Jianzhou definitely didn't send people to guard here to hoard some medicinal materials. The crack between the Yin and Yang Realms is here, so they must have brought people back to snatch it. I guess the crack is in the middle of the lake, but you can't see it. "
Zhou Qingfeng still didn't quite understand, but he had a bad feeling in his heart. "You mean Mangurtai may jump out of the center of the lake at any time?"
The little lady slightly smiles bitterly, "I don't know whether Mangurtai will come or not. But the group of Jianzhou people you drove away is definitely not guarding these mud houses, but guarding the crack between the Yin and Yang. They temporarily retreated, so they must have gone to gather people to kill again. "
As she said this, she raised the magic compass in her hand and said, "The position we are in is the most conspicuous, and we can't avoid it. Look at the needle on the compass that is spinning randomly. It means that there are many other people holding the compass approaching. So, you're in trouble. " After the little lady finished speaking, she put on a dead face and said, "Our fate is over. Quickly run, don't worry about me."
Zhou Qingfeng immediately took out the bronze binoculars and jumped to the top of the mud house to look around. He pulled his field of vision as far as he could, and sure enough, he saw some jumping black shadows appear on the skyline. It was a large number of people quickly approaching. He cursed inwardly and looked in another direction, only to find that there was another large team approaching.
The fast approaching group was small in number, but they were all riding horses. The large group was basically on foot, so their speed was even slower. Zhou Qingfeng hurriedly jumped down from the roof of the mud house and walked to the little lady's side. He grabbed the magic compass and asked, "Tell me, where did the group of people from Jianzhou come from?"
The magic compass was prepared by the people from Jianzhou. The little lady pointed at the needle that was jumping randomly. The needle was pointing at the small but fast approaching group. And the large but slow group. Zhou Qingfeng said with certainty, "It should be Ice Phoenix who has finally arrived. She has many subordinates, but most of them are too slow. "
"You can go and meet up with Ice Phoenix," the little lady said.
"Then where is the crack in the center of the lake that you mentioned?" Zhou Qingfeng jumped to the roof again and looked at the lake. The calm surface of the lake was without any ripples, like a pool of stagnant water.
"I told you that you can't see it. You need to break the yin-yang barrier to see it."
"If I leave, will the people from Jianzhou reseal the yin-yang crack that was opened?"
"It's possible. In fact, the easiest way for the people from Jianzhou is to enter the third level to warn Mangurtai. At that time, whether Mangurtai returns to the second level to deal with you or completely seal the crack, it will be troublesome for you. But what are you going to do? You don't want to stay, do you? There must be some masters left in Jianzhou on the second level of the Onigumo Mound. Are you sure you can defeat them? "
"That's not necessarily true. The real masters should have gone to the third level of the Onigumo Mound with Mangurtai. The ones left here won't be too strong. " Zhou Qingfeng said and took out Guo Jiao's Bells of All Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix and said, "I have to hold on until Ice Phoenix comes. I can't let Mangurtai know that I'm here to make trouble. If there are really masters in Jianzhou on the second level, I'll let them have a taste of this. "
The Bells of All Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix were obviously something for a girl to use. The little lady looked at it and curled her lips. She thought to herself, "He casually took out this thing. He is just a little lecher. When he grows up, he will be a heartless man."
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what the little lady was thinking. He began to rummage through his storage bag excitedly and soon took out a lot of talismans. "I have so many talismans. What's there to be afraid of?"
"They are all low-level talismans. What's there to be proud of?"
"But I have so many. You don't know how many I have. In fact, I don't even know how many I have. "
Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then immediately summoned the rest of the Frost Mounts. These Frost Cavalry were very useful in battle, but they were really not durable. Just now, two more were broken. Now there were only eight left. He picked out the skeletal horses and ordered them to run in the direction where Ice Phoenix came from. He reminded her of his location and told her to come quickly.
Zhou Qingfeng, on the other hand, grabbed a stack of 'Earth Wall Talismans' and kept throwing them out. He erected several three-meter high earth walls according to the style of a sharp edge fort. Then, he placed the remaining frost warriors on the protruding corners of each fort. He also scattered a circle of Earth Trap Talismans outside the fort, creating a large area of artificial mud swamp.
But just the earth walls and mud weren't enough to satisfy Zhou Qingfeng. He grabbed a stack of Ice Seal Talismans and froze all the earth walls. These earth walls were originally the mud of the lake. They were moist and soft, so they didn't have much defense. But when they were all frozen, they immediately became hard. Outside the half meter thick earth walls, there was a layer of ice that was twenty to thirty centimeters thick. Low-level spells could at most make a hole in it.
The Frost Warriors on the wall all had a stack of talismans in their hands. Zhou Qingfeng then used the military formation to link all of them together. This was a complete defense system. He didn't know if it was because he exchanged True Essence with Ice Phoenix, but he found that when he used the Ice Seal Talisman, the effect was very good. The ice formed by the spell was thick and hard, just like a piece of pig iron.
"Alright, alright." Zhou Qingfeng was very satisfied with his temporary fortification. He grabbed the little lady's shoulder and shouted, "Come, come, come. Don't just stand there. When the battle starts, it will consume a lot of talismans. I won't have time to command, so you're responsible for replenishing the talismans of the Frost Warriors on each corner. "
Zhou Qingfeng actually wanted to accept this little lady into his military formation, but this woman's brain wouldn't open up to him. He couldn't connect at all. The little lady looked at the thousands of talismans that Zhou Qingfeng had piled up, but she just stood there and didn't respond.
In the distance, the team from Jianzhou had quickly approached hundreds of meters away. There were more than fifty to sixty people in the team. Less than half of them were from Jianzhou, and the rest were the treasure-hunting cultivators who had followed Zhou Qingfeng into the Gate of Hell. Even the Ye Brothers were present, but they were currently trying to curry favor with a young man wearing Jurchen armor in a flattering tone.
"Yang Maofu must have a bright future since he was recognized by the Jianzhou Khan. It's my honor to meet Yang Maofu today. "Young Master Ye rode on the back of his battle beast and approached the young man with cupped hands.
This young man was Yang Jian, who was almost killed by Zhou Qingfeng just now. At the moment, he was wearing several armors and wished he could put himself in an iron can.
In response to Young Master Ye's flattery, Yang Jian just snorted and said, "Mr. Ye, my Khan has established the Jin Kingdom more than two months ago, so the name Jianzhou is no longer used. You always call it Jianzhou, Jianzhou. Even if I don't mind, the Jin warriors around me may not. "
"Yes, yes, yes." Young Master Ye nodded repeatedly. "It was a slip of the tongue. It's the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom. "
Yang Jian smiled slightly and said, "My Khan has also heard of the Ye family from Liaodong. If Mr. Ye is willing to make friends with me, I will naturally generously repay you. If we manage to find traces of that Zhou Qingfeng, we will have to rely on Young Master Ye to lead these treasure-seeking cultivators to put in more effort. As long as you catch Zhou Qingfeng, the Khan will reward you handsomely. "
Young Master Ye said yes again, and even the large group of cultivators behind him kept smiling and nodding. Behind Young Master Ye, Fan Wan 'er was stealing glances at Yang Jian, intentionally or unintentionally. Being stared at by Yang Jian, she deliberately turned her head and pretended to be panicked, or lowered her head and smiled shyly.
This fairy's charming appearance made Yang Jian's heart beat wildly. If it weren't for the crowd surrounding him, he would have stared at her. In the past, he was just one of Gu Yuanwei's many disciples. After many years of cultivation, a bunch of disciples either died or ran away, leaving only him trembling with fear around Gu Yuanwei.
After marrying Nurhachi's granddaughter, his status suddenly rose. Even Gu Yuanwei didn't dare to order him around as he used to. It was just that his status had risen, but Yang Jian felt a hidden pain in his heart.
Zhou Qingfeng had arranged a blind date for Yang Jian, but in the end, his wife was really unsightly. But his father-in-law loved his daughter very much, and he had to be a grandson in Hetuala with his tail between his legs. Now that he was released to work with Mangurtai, Yang Jian was overjoyed to see such a beautiful fairy like Fan Wan 'er.
Yang Jian wasn't shrewd enough. His lecherous face couldn't hide it at all. Young Master Ye looked back at Fan Wan 'er and saw his sweetheart's serious and indifferent face. The two of them secretly transmitted their voices, and Fan Wan 'er also complained that this Nuzhen Fu was a barbarian, an unruly wastrel.
Young Master Ye was angry but didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that Yang Jian kept staring at Fan Wan 'er, he had to remind him, "Yang Jian, is that where your troops are guarding? Why is it different from what you said before? "
