After waiting outside the Disciplinary Sentry Post for a while, they saw Hu Weichuan rushing back excitedly. In addition to the mission jade slip in his hand, he also had three more passage tokens.
After distributing the passage tokens, Hu Weichuan didn't waste any time and waved at the other two to follow him. The three of them rushed all the way to the security checkpoint at the entrance of the large array.
They brushed past the rogue cultivators in line and walked directly to the entrance of the large array. After showing the passage tokens, a sect disciple opened the passage enchantment and let the three of them in. They walked through a special passage along the way, so it was naturally very fast.
After a while, the three of them took out a map and checked the destination of this mission. Then, they used an escape technique to float in the air and set off. Along the way, they saw Hua Yulin and Hu Weichuan talking and laughing. However, Yi Tian was silent and his expression became very serious.
Just now, when he brushed past the rogue cultivator in his pocket before entering the large array, the feeling of uneasiness became even stronger. Obviously, this person's strength was far beyond his. Even if he used all his trump cards, he might not be a match for him. With such an unstable factor, he naturally couldn't relax.
Moreover, when he passed by just now, he clearly felt the other party's Divine Sense deliberately sweep over him. If he guessed correctly, he was most likely being watched. He looked up and saw that the two people in front of him didn't seem to notice at all.
Now, he was very envious of the two of them. Sometimes, ignorance was a kind of happiness. At least, he wouldn't be so frightened.
The three of them flew for a while in the old city's magic mark area. Yi Tian only saw that there seemed to be some remnants of black magic marks on the ground and walls. However, the remnants of Devil Qi in them had almost disappeared.
When they arrived near the Temple of Imperial Beasts, they found that there was a strong Devil Qi in the building in front of them. The closer they got to the building, the more obvious the magic marks on the walls were. Similarly, the Devil Qi in the building increased.
After flying to the entrance of the Temple of Imperial Beasts, Hu Weichuan reached out and pushed the door open. Then, the three of them entered and closed the door after a while.
When they arrived inside, they saw that the magic marks on the ground were clearer, and the characters on the ground could be seen clearly.
Yi Tian stretched out his hand and took out a jade slip. Then, he began to inscribe the runes on the ground. After a short while, the three of them walked through the corridor behind the main hall and arrived at the farm. This place was about a thousand feet in radius, and there were cobweb-like demonic patterns scattered on the ground. Yi Tian looked at them for a moment, and then fell into deep thought. These mageweaths were definitely not left behind from a thousand years ago. It was more like they had grown over the past hundred years.
It was just that the demonic Qi contained in the demonic patterns was not strong, but as he continued to walk down, the demonic patterns on the ground gradually became more complex, and the intensity of the demonic Qi in the surroundings also increased. He then asked in a deep voice, "How big is the scope of our mission to remove the mageweaths?"
Hu Weichuan took out a jade slip and handed it over, "Take a look at it yourself. The requirements for the mission are written here."
After receiving the mission jade slip, Yi Tian quickly scanned it with his Divine Sense and saw that it was written very clearly. This mission required three people to travel together, with at least one alchemist. After entering the Imperial Beast Temple, they had to remove all the mageweaths here. The alchemist also had to go to the spirit plant area of the Imperial Beast Temple to pick five kilograms of Three Leaf Bitter Wood Fruits.
He quickly went through the information about the Three Leaf Bitter Wood in his mind. This thing had a cold nature and liked to grow in dark and damp environments. The roots of the Bitter Wood could also absorb demonic Qi, and after purifying it, it would be converted into spirit power nourishment.
In the previous missions, the disciples of the inner sect were responsible for planting a batch of Three Leaf Bitter Wood saplings, and then harvesting a batch of ripe fruits to cultivate. The demonic Qi in the places where the trees were planted would be rapidly extracted, and the demonic Qi would be gradually purified.
However, according to Hua Yulin, many batches of Three Leaf Bitter Wood had been planted in the past five hundred years, but the results were only able to maintain the original situation. The records from a thousand years ago showed that the effects were very good. At the very least, most of the demonic Qi in the Imperial Beast Temple had been purified.
In that case, this problem originated from the mission five hundred years ago. After thinking, he casually asked, "Do you two know who took on the mission of cleaning the Imperial Beast Temple five hundred years ago?"
Hu Weichuan thought for a while and replied, "It was Senior Sister Murong. This is already the fourth time I've taken on this mission. She has always been the one to take on it before."
"Then who were the last few people who traveled with her back then?" Yi Tian asked.
"Why are you looking at the pot with the bowl in your hand?" Hua Yulin joked, "Senior Sister Murong is an ice beauty in the inner sect. Ever since her dao partner died, she has never accepted anyone's love. I remember her dao partner was called Peng Li. He was also an ascended cultivator, and he seemed to have just passed the Heavenly Tribulation. "
"Also an ascended cultivator?" Yi Tian was shocked. It can't be that coincidental, right? He continued, "Then when Murong Feixue did this mission for the last time, did this Peng Li also come in with her?"
"What Junior Brother Yi said seems to be true," Hu Weichuan continued, "I remember that Murong Feixue was the leader back then, and Peng Li and Xiang Donghui were the assistants. Later, for some reason, Murong Feixue and Xiang Donghui fell out after the mission, and the two of them never contacted each other again. Within 30 years after the end of the mission, Peng Li challenged Chi Wuji and was accidentally killed. "
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression did not change, but he couldn't help but think that this matter must be closely related to this place. Everything should be caused by the demon marks in Clear Wind City. Could it be that Murong Feixue found something special in there?
The relationship between the three of them was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Peng Li was also an ascended cultivator like him, and logically speaking, his temperament and cultivation should be second to none. He definitely wouldn't challenge Chi Wuji, who was ranked second, for an undeserved reputation. There must be some unknown secret behind this. Moreover, ascended cultivators like him were originally outstanding talents. Even after entering a sect, they would hide their strength and bide their time, trying their best to avoid enmity and fighting with others. The only goal in their hearts was to achieve immortality.
It seemed that this mission might really lead to some strange discoveries. Perhaps he might even unintentionally find some clues from back then. But at this time, he already had some reservations about Murong Feixue in his heart. This woman was capable and capable, and definitely was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Just as he was thinking, Hu Weichuan's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "We are about to enter the mutated demon mark area. Everyone, get ready to attack."
"What is the mutated area?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
"There are many descendants of monsters infected by demon qi there. If you are unlucky, you might even encounter a few Deity Transformation stage monsters. These half-demonized monsters are bloodthirsty by nature, and their attack power is especially strong. They are one of the more dangerous existences in Clear Wind City. "Hua Yulin's expression also changed, and he no longer teased them. He flipped his hand and took out a spirit sword, ready to attack at any time.
