Chapter 293: The Unexpected
A large amount of cold ice true qi carried a blue ice dragon towards the three strange beasts.
Before they could react, they were pierced by a terrifying cold that pierced their bodies, making them unable to move for a while, and they could only watch as layers of frost covered their bodies, and they couldn't lift up a trace of strength.
Previously, Zhang Ling used the Ice Condensing Technique, and they could still deal with one or two, because it was only a Xuan-level exercise, and now in the face of this god-level exercise, it was completely like a child in front of a blizzard, helpless, and defeated in an instant.
Zhang Ling saw that the three strange beasts in front of him had become three ice sculptures, so he walked over with a smile, and finally could only shake his head, as if he was very helpless about these three strange beasts.
"Although you are now trapped by me, you can still hear my voice, and now whether you live or die is in your own hands, and if you still want to keep your life, I will ask you a question, and you will answer. ”
Zhang Ling stretched out his palm, and the majestic true qi instantly attacked the three frozen bodies, melting the frost on their bodies in an instant, allowing them to regain their freedom.
As soon as the restraints were lifted, the eyes of the three strange beasts were full of fear, and while they were glad that they were not killed by the other party, they felt boundless fear for Zhang Ling.
Because they were deeply impressed by the exercise that Zhang Ling had just used, this was clearly the exercise used by the great immortal at the beginning, and the familiar aura of the exercise made them deeply jealous, and now they could only bow their heads in front of Zhang Ling.
"I didn't expect you to know this god-level exercise, no wonder you are so confident, this exercise was created by the great immortal who obtained the Tao in the secret realm, which is equivalent to a god-level exercise, although you did not exert one-ten-thousandth of the power, but it is enough to deal with a few of us spirit beasts that cannot turn into human form, I admit that we lost, if you have anything to say, just ask." ”
The triangular rhinoceros took the lead in stepping forward, there was still a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, and he had a shouting face just now, wanting to put Zhang Ling to death, but now he can only show weakness in front of Zhang Ling, and everyone is uncomfortable.
But there is no way, although they say that they have put life and death out of the way, but after all, they are thousands of years old spirit beasts, and they are not willing to die like this, they are still looking forward to one day escaping from this Lingyang secret realm and returning to the outside world, so they can only bow their heads to Zhang Ling temporarily.
"Very well, it seems that you are still very sorry for your life, and now I will ask you, who are the three of you, and why are you here?"
Zhang Ling saw that his opponent had lost his temper, so he struck while the iron was hot, wanting to learn more secrets about the Lingyang Secret Realm from them, and the most important thing was that Zhang Ling was very curious about the master of the god-level exercises and the six major artifacts, especially wanting to know his past.
"My name is Niu Zhen, that Dapeng is called Peng Yu, and this leopard is called Pojun. We were already in this secret realm more than 2,000 years ago, when the Zhenwu Continent was ruled by the descendants of the Human Emperor Su Yan, but at that time, the continent was still only a martial atmosphere, and there were not many people who knew how to cultivate immortals, and there were no earth immortals in the entire world, and our spirit beasts have always been high-level creatures on the Zhenwu Continent, and some were even worshiped by the human race of the Zhenwu Continent to ensure that their wind and rain were smooth.
But then there was a year when the whole human world was plagued by non-stop, most of the human race was killed and injured, and the luck of the human race disappeared as a result, and our spirit beast clan saw that the general trend had arrived, and a large part of them decided not to be the guardian spirit beast of the human race, and began to compete for the territory of the human world, and a few years after the natural disaster, the entire Zhenwu Continent was almost ruled by us, and the human race finally became the slave of our spirit beast clan.
But we never expected that in the following decades, countless cultivators with advanced cultivation suddenly appeared in the human world, and they began to confront our spirit beast clan, the most powerful of which was the sword god, Fu Sheng, Li King, and the emperor, these four strong people, their cultivation was unfathomable, and they had almost reached the level of earth immortals, and within a hundred years, they took a large class of monks to recapture the city from our spirit beast clan, and also established the so-called Kyushu Five Dynasties. After that, the South China Sea appeared out of thin air a sect of cultivation called Wuyu Cliff, those disciples are not shallow, they have traveled around the world for decades, as long as they see the spirit beasts that are against the human race, they are all arrested, I don't know why they all came here after that, and the three of us have not figured this out yet. ”
The triangular rhinoceros Niu Zhen spoke in a deep tone, as if he was reluctant to look back on that past.
"Hmm, the disciples of the Cliffless Cliff caught the beast here, and why did you end up here?"
Zhang Ling listened and was surprised, it turned out that two thousand years ago, there was such a tortuous history in the entire Kyushu. However, at this moment, he was still more concerned about the various things in the Lingyang Secret Realm.
Seeing that Zhang Ling was puzzled, at this time, the Dapeng bird suddenly erected its huge wings, walked in front of Zhang Ling's eyes, and there was no battle intent in his sharp eyes, as if he was also reminiscing about the past, and said slowly to Zhang Ling.
"The three of us are actually just a drop in the bucket of the entire spirit beast clan at that time, maybe we were unlucky, we met the master of this secret realm, his cultivation at that time was more terrifying than the four strong ones, it seems that he has been an immortal for a long time, he traveled to the earth, saw a few of us fighting with human monks, saw that there were no enemy monks, so he took human children as hostages, and forced human monks to retreat, so he captured us at once, and then we came here.
After coming to this secret realm, Daxian imposed a ban on the three of us, so that we had no way to turn into human form, and our cultivation strength was not as good as one percent of the previous one, so we could only repent in this secret realm, cultivate from the beginning, and not leave, unless one day the opportunity came, we could leave here, but what was that opportunity, Daxian did not say clearly, the three of us have been here for more than 2,000 years, and we really can't stand the loneliness here.
In the past two thousand years, we have repented and repented, and we have cultivated, but if we don't leave here, we can't turn into human form, and the cultivation speed is really slow, which is worse than death for us, a few years ago, we saw that the red lotus demon spirit suddenly left the secret realm, so we started the idea of this cave, because the cave here is full of spiritual energy, and there is more great immortal enlightenment contained in it, as long as the three of us cultivate in it for a hundred years, maybe we can re-cultivate the human body.
But then the three of us had a disagreement, we all wanted to monopolize this cave, coupled with the ape's obstruction, for several years, we did not succeed in entering, until today, the three of us reached an agreement, decided to join forces to defeat the ape, in exchange for our own life. ”
"I see. ”
After listening to Peng Yu's explanation, Zhang Ling nodded silently, as if he believed what he said, as for why he believed it, he couldn't say why, it was just a perception that made him feel that this strange beast was not lying.
"When the Red Lotus Demon Spirit was in the cave, why didn't you dare to go in? Could it be that her cultivation at that time was even more powerful than you?" Zhang Ling thought of a puzzled place again, so he asked directly.
"Although the red lotus demon spirit is only a red lotus, it was indeed cultivated by the Great Immortal six thousand years ago, and the spiritual power in it is very large, plus the spell given to her by the Great Immortal can trigger the prohibition on our body, we are powerless to fight with her at all. ”
Dapeng inadvertently looked at the cave again, there was still a trace of jealousy in his eyes, it seems that in the past two thousand years, these three strange beasts must have sneaked in, although the red jade at that time did not turn into a god, but he already had spiritual sense, and he could torture them through spells, which must have left a deep shadow in their hearts.
"Now that Hongyu is gone, you have the idea of the cave again? It seems that you still haven't changed your ways?"
"We used to be the spirit beasts that dominated one side, and our long-term cultivation was not just for the sake of cultivating the human body to become a great avenue? But for two thousand years, we have been carrying the body of a beast and have never been able to cultivate to the great progress, how can we withstand this?"
Seeing Zhang Ling looking at himself playfully, Dapeng Pengyu seemed to have a hint of wanting to defend himself.
"You have done evil in the past, but you have also been trapped in this secret realm for more than 2,000 years, and you can be regarded as atoning for your sins, and now I give you a chance to leave here, are you willing?"
Zhang Ling glanced at the three spirit beasts deeply, and finally said something unhurriedly that shocked the apes.
"What? Can you take us out?
Lei Leopard Pojun, who had not spoken, was overjoyed when he heard what Zhang Ling said, and hurriedly took two steps and asked in surprise.
"Zhang Ling, you ......" The ape also stepped forward at this time, looking at Zhang Ling suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
"You don't have to worry, I only have a plan. Zhang Ling glanced at the ape with a smile and pressed his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be surprised.
"The three of you are too happy, I can promise to take you out, but you must promise me two things, first, go to the Alien Beast Mountain Range to find all the Five Elements Spirit Beads, and second, go to the depths of the Alien Beast Mountain Range to call the powerful alien beasts there brothers and friends, and often provide me with information, but you must not reveal your true strength and identity. ”
Zhang Ling turned to face the three spirit beasts again, and said with a grim expression, as if he was giving them one last chance.
"That's all?" Peng Yu asked with some surprise.
"That's all I have to ask for, but there's one thing else that says you have to offer your spirit to me before you can complete your mission. Zhang Ling saw the three of them looking at him expectantly, and suddenly smiled faintly, as if everything was under his control.
"What, dedicate the spirit body to you, then isn't our life and death in your hands?" The three spirit beasts suddenly all changed their faces, and there seemed to be a sense that Zhang Ling was playing with them, and there was a trace of anger in their eyes.
"People will die immediately if they have no soul, but I know that for cultivators and you spirit beasts, the spirit body is temporarily separated from the body, and it will not let you die, as long as there is a spiritual consciousness, you can also move the body, you can rest assured, I want your spirit body in exchange, but I am afraid that you will defect, after all, I am not familiar with you, I can't fully trust you, if you don't want to, then it's up to you, or you can choose to continue to cultivate here for thousands of years before going out." ”
Zhang Ling saw that their faces changed in an instant, and they still looked light, and he was not worried at all that they would not agree.
