After leaving Green Laurel Lane and flying in the air, Yi Tian shook his head. Shen Peiqi was too greedy. She was just a middleman, yet she wanted to take 20%.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to avoid the limelight, he wouldn't have accepted this mission. However, what did Shen Peiqi mean when she said that she was taking advantage of him?
After extending his Divine Sense into the storage pouch, he found a mission jade slip with the following words written on it: "Brother Pei Qi, for this trip, we will gather the elites of the three sects to explore the Tiger Leaping Cliff. We hope that you will meet at the Lanfang Pavilion five kilometers away from the Cloud Piercing Ridge in seven days. Iron Sword Gate's Mo Tiexin. "
After reading the jade slip, Yi Tian suddenly felt that he had been cheated. What middleman? She was obviously giving it to Shen Peiqi to ask him to go.
However, he was deceived by his silly smile. Shen Peiqi was probably being targeted by Mo Tiexin. She was going to explore with him and even gave him spirit stones. This didn't seem like something an ordinary cultivator of the three sects would do.
After stopping in the air and pondering, Yi Tian felt that there was something fishy about this. For example, if he asked Chou Ren Jiu or Wu Min to explore, they wouldn't give him spirit stones. Moreover, there were so many words written on the jade slip. It was really strange.
However, Yi Tian couldn't back down now. If he really went back and told Shen Peiqi that he didn't want to go, she would probably kill him immediately. It was obvious that he was going to be her scapegoat this time.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll just go." Yi Tian had no one to talk to about his troubles.
Today was definitely not a good day. He had spent 13 years to complete the mission. He wanted to go back and submit the mission, but the first thing he heard was that his share of spirit stones had been used as a "golden cup". He wanted to earn some pocket money, but he was dragged to be her scapegoat.
Yi Tian flew slowly on the flywheel. He really hoped that he wouldn't be able to complete the journey of less than two hundred miles. When he reached the Lan Fang Pavilion, he didn't know if Mo Tiexin would draw his sword and attack him.
At that time, as long as the situation wasn't good, it would be better to sell Shen Peiqi directly. Anyway, she had already sold Shen Peiqi once.
Thinking back, the way he handed over the keys to the Guardian Residence today was really brilliant. He made a total of three keys for the formation chain. He gave two to Shen Peiqi and asked her to give one to Yan Jungang.
Yi Tian secretly kept one for himself in case he needed it. In fact, he didn't think it was necessary. He was the one who set up the array. If he wanted the key, he could just refine another one.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian finally calmed down a little. He took out a map and looked at Lan Fang Pavilion's specific location. Suddenly, the flywheel in the air accelerated, and a green light shot towards Cloud Contact Ridge.
The Cloud Piercing Ridge was also one of the main mountain ranges of the Cloud Jade Mountain Range. It was located to the west. On the way to the Scarlet Sun Hills, one would have to fly over two other mountain ranges of the Cloud Jade Mountains.
It was located to the south of the area jointly governed by the various sects. Thus, most of the people on the way were disciples of the three sects. Occasionally, when disciples of influential clans passed by, they would try to slow down as much as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Basically, no one would be like Yi Tian. Moreover, Yi Tian was still wearing the robes of an ordinary rogue cultivator, which was even more eye-catching.
In fact, Yi Tian had been keeping a low profile for the past few years. Whenever he went out, he wouldn't announce his sect. Yi Tian felt that showing off one's sect's strength was something that one didn't need to do.
At the Lan Fang Pavilion in Cloud Contact Ridge, there were a few people waiting there today. Two men were loitering outside the pavilion as if they were patrolling or on guard. One of them was dressed like a cultivator from an influential clan.
The other was wearing the robes of a Xuan Ling Sect inner disciple. When he was standing, nothing could be seen. However, when he walked, one could see that he was limping slightly.
Inside the pavilion, two female cultivators were sitting opposite each other. One of them was wearing the robes of the Iron Sword Gate. Her head was covered with a scarf, and she carried a sword pouch with seven small swords on it.
The other woman was also wearing the robes of the Xuan Ling Sect. Her face was covered with a veil. On the table, there was a white incense burner with Spirit Awakening Incense burning inside.
Just as they were talking, they suddenly saw a green light flying towards the Lan Fang Pavilion. The two hurriedly walked out and looked up. It was a cultivator riding a flying wheel.
The person who came was Yi Tian. He was using the Wind Escape Technique to rush towards Cloud Contact Ridge. His flying speed was too fast. It was easy for people to mistake him for a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator flying on a magic tool. The cultivators who saw him quickly moved to the side.
After landing on the flying wheel, Yi Tian looked around. He actually recognized three people. He had even met two of them before. They were Xuan Ling Sect's Zhou Huan and Nangong Qianyun.
The female cultivator standing in front of the pavilion should be the organizer of this event, Mo Tiexin. Twenty years ago, Yi Tian had met her once at the Three Sects Disciple Exchange at Pushan Square. But at that time, his status was much lower than hers. Now that things had changed, she probably wouldn't care about a small character like him.
After standing on the grass, Yi Tian greeted Zhou Huan. The latter was also surprised. She didn't expect to meet Yi Tian here. After exchanging greetings, she didn't say anything.
Looking at Yi Tian, he knew Zhou Huan was just a coincidence. She was basically pulled here to make up the numbers.
Seeing Mo Tiexin and Nangong Qianyun walking over, Yi Tian wasn't afraid. He took out a jade slip and said, "Senior Martial Brother Shen recommended me. May I know who is the organizer of this expedition?" Then he looked at Mo Tiexin. He couldn't show any weakness at this time.
Mo Tiexin sneered and said, "That coward Shen Peiqi didn't dare to come see me, so she sent you. I really didn't know you were so courageous. You came to take the risk for some spirit stones."
She clapped twice and signaled Zhou Huan and the disciple from the aristocratic family to come over.
Now Yi Tian could see that Mo Tiexin was the leader of this team. Nangong Qianyun was her subordinate. As for the other two, they were just following her.
He was really alone. There was nothing he could do. Who told him to board the pirate ship? Since he was here, he might as well take things as they came.
When Mo Tiexin saw several people coming over, she began to introduce the general operation of this expedition. The target cave was on the cliff on the side of Tiger Jump Cliff in Yunmo Ridge.
There were no traces of it being explored before. Mo Tiexin accidentally found it when she was carrying out the mission.
Judging from the lines on the stone wall outside the cave, it might be the immortal's cave of a Jin Dan cultivator. It was lucky that it hadn't been discovered for so long.
Also, there was a landslide on Tiger Jump Cliff recently, which was one of the reasons for the appearance of the cave.
The five people introduced themselves. Yi Tian knew three of them. The one wearing the cultivator's attire introduced himself. His name was Luo Zong. He was a cultivator's clan that was a vassal of the Iron Sword Sect. His clan was famous for its array formations. He was also an array formation master.
Yi Tian also introduced himself as a disciple of Chiyang School and Shen Peiqi's junior brother. He knew a little about refining and formations.
Mo Tiexin shook her head and didn't say much. She just told Yi Tian not to be a burden.
The other two also looked at Yi Tian sympathetically, meaning that they were all doing odd jobs.
Nangong Qianyun's eyes flashed. She looked at Yi Tian up and down. Then she took out her pill furnace and said to Yi Tian, "Junior Brother Yi, what do you think of this pill furnace?"
"Not bad, at least I can't refine it."
"Junior Brother Yi is young and promising. In the future, your skills will definitely be better than the refiner of this pill furnace." Nangong Qianyun winked at Yi Tian.
Yi Tian pretended that he didn't see it and replied silently, "I will work hard." Then he stood aside and didn't say anything. However, he was anxious. Nangong Qianyun recognized him, but she didn't expose him.
Suddenly, he heard a voice transmission, "I know who you are."
Yi Tian gently turned his head and happened to meet Nangong Qianyun's gaze. Then, he revealed a helpless and bitter smile.
Mo Tiexin called out and the five people flew into the sky. Mo Tiexin led the team and flew in the front. Zhou Huan and Luo Zong followed closely behind.
Yi Tian was slightly behind them and wanted to keep a distance from them. Unexpectedly, Nangong Qianyun flew beside Yi Tian and flew side by side with him.
Now, Yi Tian was even more afraid that Nangong Qianyun would expose him, so he could only smile along the way. However, her voice transmission sounded in his ears, "I won't expose you, but you have to promise me one thing."
Thinking that he had to work hard for nothing again, Yi Tian could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart. He nodded slightly, and only then was he able to gloss over this matter.
After a quarter of an hour, the five people arrived at the cave. Yi Tian only saw that there were some patterns carved on the outside of the cave. The style seemed to be a little old.
There were also two seal characters written on the cave. Fortunately, Yi Tian studied the characters when he was young and recognized them as "Dark Extinction."
Then, he told the other four people that this cave was a little strange. It seemed that no Jin Dan cultivator would name his cave as "Dark Extinction."
Although it was a little suspicious, Mo Tiexin did not care too much about it and directly led the way in. The few people beside him also entered in a single file. Yi Tian looked at them and shook his head, then slowly followed in.
Nangong Qianyun's voice transmission came to his ears again, "You are very knowledgeable." Yi Tian was scared and had to nod repeatedly. He didn't dare to say more.
When they entered the cave, they found that it was a cave within a cave. The cave was not small, about 100 feet in size. There were three paths in front of them, and in front of each path, there was a stone statue as tall as a person.
The stone statue was so lifelike that it looked like a real statue. Zhou Huan went up and cut it a few times with her sword. Then, she found that it was indeed a stone statue.
But what puzzled Yi Tian was the style of the clothing on the stone statue. It was obviously not from the Dong Ao region. At least, the clothing in the past few hundred years had not been like this.
When he was in the sect, Yi Tian had also gone to the Sutras Pavilion to look for the travel notes of similar senior cultivators, but he had never seen such a style.
Mo Tiexin pointed out the three paths and she chose the middle one. Luo Zong was smart and followed Mo Tiexin.
Zhou Huan chose the left path and signaled Nangong Qianyun to go with him. Yi Tian had to shrug his shoulders and choose the right path. Unexpectedly, Nangong Qianyun proposed to go with Yi Tian. Zhou Huan was so angry that she directly went to the left path and walked in.
Looking at the followers behind him, Yi Tian had to nod helplessly. It was indeed not a good day to go out.
Not long after the five people walked into the fork, the gate of the Dark Cave suddenly closed. The stone man who had been cut by Zhou Huan directly walked into the left path after his eyes flashed red.
Walking in the passage, Yi Tian was constantly asked by Miss Nangong behind him, such as why he masked his face and sold the alchemy furnace in the Ninth Heaven Restaurant, what he had been doing in the past few years, his real age, what was his relationship with Liu Piaopao, how was his cultivation of formation compared with that of Luo Zong, and so on.
At first, Yi Tian answered a few questions patiently. But later, he was really annoyed. He had to say that he didn't know all the questions. But he couldn't stand Nangong Qianyun's continuous questions, so he had to keep silent.
In the end, the two people walked more and more awkwardly. They walked all the way in silence.
