Chapter 561: Unknowable Secrets?
The same formation setting seems to be the preference of those ancient Celestial Clansmen, if Ye Feng's prediction is good, if he wants to lift the formation here, I am afraid that he will also need to gather a few formation maps, and then find the key to open the formation, in this new formation map, maybe there will be a new Celestial Spirit like Innara, carrying a certain memory of the Celestial Clan.
After getting Inara, Ye Feng carried the water ability of the Celestial Clan, and now in the face of this unknown Celestial Holy Spirit, what kind of Celestial ability will he get?
It's still too early to think about this, if all this is really the same as the path of lifting the formation ban on the Ethereal Peak at the beginning, then the next thing Ye Feng has to do is to find a new formation map.
Where will these formation maps be? Is it in the hands of some Xiuzhen sect, or in the mind of a woman like Li Caixue? All of this is still unknown.
In order to further unravel these secrets, the next thing Ye Feng needed to do was to find a way to infiltrate the Black Dragon Sect behind this Sun and Moon Country or the royal family of this Sun and Moon Country, because only there could he find more secrets about Death Valley.
The capital of the Sun and Moon Kingdom is called Sun Moon City, Sun Moon City is the largest and most populous city in the southern end of the entire secret realm, and around Sun Moon City is a dense forest and mountains.
Ye Feng stayed in Sun Moon City for a few days, and collected some information from innkeepers, buddies, vendor owners, passing knights, and even soldiers defending the city through various means, mostly of which was of little use. For example, some secret historical anecdotes in the palace of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, about the Black Dragon Sect, ordinary people don't know too much, for most ordinary people, a great sect of cultivation like the Black Dragon Sect is sacred and mysterious, so powerful that they don't even dare to think about it.
However, among the many pieces of information, there is one piece of information that is still useful to Ye Feng. That is the city lord of the capital of the Sun and Moon Country, that is, the son of the Sun and Moon City Lord, who was taken away by the people of the Six Villages and Fourteen Gangs outside the Sun and Moon City three days ago, the so-called Six Villages and Fourteen Gangs is just a general name, composed of six cottages and fourteen gangs, these Six Zhai and Fourteen Gangs are not Xiuzhen gangs, but the hostile forces of the Sun and Moon Country's hostile country, the Kongxiang Country, which is placed around the Sun and Moon City, as the old enemy of the Sun and Moon Country, and the empty phase country relies on the second major Xiuzhen sect Fengyue Sect at the southern end of the secret realm. Therefore, the Empty Phase Country has also become the second largest country in the southern part of the secret realm and second only to the Sun and Moon Country in strength.
In addition to the Sun Moon Country and the Empty Phase Country, there is another country in the northwest of the southern end of the Secret Realm. It's called Tianhan Kingdom. It is the third largest country in the secret realm, and the Xiuzhen sect behind the Tianhan Kingdom is relatively special, it is a female cultivator sect composed of all female Taoists, called the Huanhua Sect, and there are thousands of female cultivators in the sect, and the overall strength is between the Black Dragon Sect and the Fengyue Sect. Slightly weaker than the Black Dragon Sect and slightly stronger than the Wind Moon Sect.
Perhaps because it is composed of all female cultivators, they are not very ambitious compared to male cultivators, so the national and folk customs of the Tianhan Kingdom are also a little softer, and they rarely participate in all kinds of battles at the southern end of the secret realm. Relying on the several large spirit stone veins in the Heavenly Han Dynasty to exist in the various cultivation sects at the southern end of the entire secret realm, they rarely take the initiative to cause trouble. Of course, few people mess with them.
The three countries at the southern end of this secret realm have similarities with the three countries of the Central Plains, which also makes Ye Feng feel very strange.
The people of the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang usually hide in the vast secret orders and lofty mountains outside the Sun and Moon City, and launch attacks on the Sun and Moon City from time to time, the Sun and Moon Country sends troops to kill a batch, and the Empty Phase Country will immediately make up for another batch, and in the long run, the Sun and Moon Country will not be too lazy to spend too much thought and effort on the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang, anyway, these cottage gangs can't afford to set off too much wind and waves, otherwise, without the Sun Moon Country Imperial Court, the Black Dragon Sect behind it would have been wiped out.
But just three days ago, the people of the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang did a big thing, that is, the kidnapping of the only son of Yan Huishan, the city lord of Sun Moon City, Yan Huishan is a great task in the country of day and night, his power position is almost equal to that of the emperor of the current dynasty, and has a close relationship with the Black Dragon Sect, his son was kidnapped by the people of the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang, this matter is naturally called a big deal.
As for why the people of the Liuzhai and Fourteen Gangs would kidnap Yan Huishan's son, Ye Feng couldn't collect relevant information from the Sun Moon City Well, so he went to the mansion of Yan Huishan, the city lord of Sun Moon City, invisibly, and used soul dementorship to ask everyone, including Yan Huishan, and this time, he finally asked for an extremely important piece of information.
The son of Yan Huishan, the lord of Sun Moon City, is called Yan Cheng, and he was smart and clever when he was a child, but when he was twelve years old, he fell ill and burned into a fool, although he was stupid, but the marriage contract he made with the princess of Tianhan Kingdom since he was a child still has to be fulfilled, as Yan Huishan, who is the most prominent in the actual power of Sun and Moon Kingdom, was ordered by the Black Dragon Sect to take his only son Yan Cheng and the relatively neutral Tianhan Kingdom as his in-laws since he was a child, and the purpose is not difficult to speculate, this is the Black Dragon Sect has long thought about it first, just to be able to pull the Tianhan Kingdom into his camp, at least, It is also necessary to let the Huanhua Sect of the Heavenly Han Kingdom continue to be neutral, and will not be co-opted by their old enemy, the Fengyue Sect of the Empty Phase Kingdom.
However, this is only a superficial reason, and the deeper reason is also one thing that makes Ye Feng feel that it is a coincidence, that is, the princess of the Tianhan Kingdom holds a crucial secret, and this secret, just like Li Caixue of the Zhengtang Kingdom, is that the princess's brain, there is also a formation map, and this map is one of the fragments of the formation map that opened the door of the Valley of Death.
What made Ye Feng feel even more incredible was that the princess of the Heavenly Han Kingdom, like Li Caixue, was also born with an excellent dual spirit root physique, and all ** soul dementoring techniques were ineffective against her.
This identical scene made Ye Feng feel surprised at the same time, and at the same time, there was also an inexplicable heaviness in his heart, all this was really too coincidental, as if something had been designed in the underworld, the Central Plains of the Secret Realm and the southern end of the Secret Realm were thousands of kilometers apart, but there were three similar countries and three similar cultivation sects, the same treasure land of the Heavenly Clan's relics, and the same method of lifting the ban on the relics.
Is it all a coincidence, or is there some other unknowable secret behind it?
Ye Feng didn't know what kind of price the Black Dragon Sect had paid, so that the Huanhua Sect of the Tianhan Kingdom finally agreed to let the princess of the Tianhan Kingdom, who had the fragments of the formation map, marry Yan Huishan's son, and there was an exchange of interests for Zhenyuan, but no matter what the reason was, since she knew about it, Ye Feng had to do something, just like when she pursued Li Caixue in the first place, the princess of the Tianhan Kingdom, Ye Feng was bound to win.
In the pursuit of Li Caixue back then, Ye Feng wanted to blend into the Li Mansion as a housekeeper, and now if he wants to have a relationship with the princess of the Tianhan Kingdom, the best way is to replace Yan Huishan's stupid son, Yan Cheng has a marriage contract with that princess, and make good use of this favorable condition, so that he will have the opportunity to get the fragments of the formation map from that princess in the future.
It's a pity that Yan Cheng has been kidnapped by the people of the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang, and the reason for this is that it is very likely that he is also the main man behind the scenes of the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang, that is, the Fengyue Sect of the Empty Xiangguo, got some information, and knew that Yan Cheng and the princess of the Tianhan Kingdom were about to get married, and it was very likely that the princess also knew that the princess had mastered the secret of the formation map, so he made a hindrance from it, and at the expense of paying a heavy price, he intermittently attacked and harassed the Sun Moon City, causing the Sun Moon Country to be tired, and then the raid hit and successfully kidnapped Yan Cheng.
Of course, all of this was summarized and speculated by Ye Feng from various information, and Ye Feng did not know what the facts were.
The next thing he had to do was to immediately rush to the main village of the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang, find Yan Cheng, make him disappear, and then replace him with himself.
After leaving the Yan Mansion, Ye Feng inquired all the way, and found the mountain range where the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang was located that night, but the territory of the Liuzhai Fourteen Gang was too scattered, and without the assistance of divine sense, it was not easy to find the location of the main village where Yan Cheng was imprisoned.
