Section 458 Suspicion
After Youxuan's previous analysis and judgment, Shen Tong knew that he was in an extremely dangerous situation at the moment, and in such a situation, if the Ruyi bag he carried with him after going out needed to be checked by the elders of the foundation building period, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for him. Once the existence of the Phantom Old Ghost is discovered by these elders, I am afraid that his fate will be very different, there is no doubt that no matter which aspect, the deacon elders of the sect will probably have to figure out why a disciple of the Qi cultivation period actually has a soul and ghost thing that most of the elders of the foundation building stage do not have, and it will be a disaster for him if it really comes to that situation.
But where else does he have at the moment?
The mountain of spirit stones, the mysterious spirit puppet, the spirit materials that fill the valley...... Since there is no choice, then just take a gamble, maybe things are not as bad as imagined? Maybe there is also a hint of a turnaround in the crisis? Thinking like this, Shen Tong no longer hesitated, and after putting away the things in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but look into the distance in the valley.
Time flies, and days pass in the blink of an eye.
It's an extremely secluded valley, and it's quite eerie. As far as the eye could see, everything around me was dark stones, and there were no trees, no flowers, not even the most tenacious grass. It's like another world, and being in it makes you feel creepy. Faintly, there were some sounds like ghosts crying wolfs, which made people feel uneasy. Such a desolate and strange place is usually a place where people are rare, and even plants and trees cannot survive, let alone living creatures.
However, today it is extremely abnormal here, and the valley at this time is actually crowded with people, and it is a very lively scene. In fact, the situation in front of us is not just so simple as being bustling, if someone who does not know sees the situation here, I am afraid that they will be stunned and think that there is some amazing change on the West Pole continent. There is no other reason, just because in the valley at this time, there are three sect heads and many elders of the three major sects of the West Pole, which is really a rare thing.
This is naturally the Xuanming Cave of the Heavenly Absolute Valley, and this rather strange place is the valley outside the Xuanying Cave, which is the place where the disciples of the three factions passed before entering the secret realm, and it is also the place where the three major sects have jointly arranged many formations to put them under the joint jurisdiction of the three factions. As for why the heads of the three major sects appeared here, it was because today was the last day of the opening of the secret realm, and if they hadn't been able to exit the secret realm safely today, it would mean that they had disappeared from this world forever. And the disciples who can enter it, not only their gains from entering it this time are related to the follow-up development of the sect in the next ten years. What's more, these disciples themselves are the backbone of the sect in the future, and they are the most promising people among the disciples in the Qi cultivation period, and their relationship is so important that they really dare not take it lightly.
In fact, as early as yesterday, the heads and elders of the three factions had already arrived here as if they had made an appointment, although the three factions had fought a lot openly and secretly over the years
, but in any case, it is still an alliance. Moreover, the three factions have joined forces to occupy almost the richest and most important area in the West Pole, and mutual cooperation with each other is really crucial to stabilizing the situation in the entire West Pole. Because of this, the alliance between the three factions is quite stable, and coming here a day in advance can be regarded as a matter of conformism to connect with each other and enhance their relationship.
However, the valley was unusually quiet at this time, and it seemed that after dawn they had stopped talking, and one by one they had turned their attention to the dark mouth of the cave.
Immortal cultivators are naturally the most patient people, and the time of a day and several hours of waiting for them is really a flick of a finger and will pass, after all, compared to their retreat and retreat for more than ten years, what is this time? It's just that under the calm and indifferent expressions of the people, they can't hide the eagerness of some people after all, and from time to time they look towards the entrance of the cave. In fact, they didn't really need to be like this, as the elders of the foundation building period, although they were in the valley, their divine consciousness was paying attention to any movement at the entrance of the passage one by one, and they could even feel the breathing of the three elders sitting there calmly. It's just that even so, the so-called concern and chaos really make it difficult for them to calm down.
As time passed, I don't know how long they waited, and suddenly everyone in the entire valley seemed to involuntarily raise their heads and look into the cave, although their eyes couldn't see, but their divine consciousness had already felt the fluctuations of the spatial crack. There is no doubt that their rich experience tells them that there are already disciples returning from it!
"Disciples of the Holy Fire Alliance!" The next moment, the expressions on everyone's faces became strange one by one, for the elders of the Heavenly Star Valley and the Xuanling Gang, it was obvious that hope had turned into disappointment, but the faces of the people of the Holy Fire Alliance naturally showed a hint of smile, especially when they saw the people clearly, they showed a relieved look on their faces. However, soon their expressions were the same as those of the other two sects, and they suddenly became serious. It's just that because of the situation here, he didn't act recklessly, and rushed in to inquire about the situation there.
On the faces of many masters in the foundation building period, they couldn't help but show strange expressions one by one at this time, the disciples who came out first were two disciples of the Holy Fire Alliance wearing red robes, and a little perception could tell that these two people were both strong in the Qi cultivation period with strong spiritual power, so cultivation was also the best among the disciples of the three factions, and it was reasonable to be able to come out of them safely. It's just that what makes everyone's expressions different is that the situation of these two people at this time is really not very good, although their spiritual power is strong, but their breath is a little unstable, and what is even more incredible is that these two people are both injured, and the situation is really not good.
This kind of situation surprised the elders of the Holy Fire Alliance, others didn't know the inside story, how could they not know? The disciples who entered the secret realm this time were connected through the secret method, so that they could teleport together in pairs. With their own strong cultivation, coupled with the joint action of the two of them, even if they encounter an ordinary early stage of foundation building, they should be able to resist a little
Block one or two, such strength is enough for them to have no scruples in the secret realm. However, at this moment, they were in a very bad situation, how could this not make them frightened? Could it be that among the other two sects, there were some great people who actually had such and such strong strength? If this was the case, then they would have to pay attention to it. You must know that you can have such amazing strength and means during the Qi cultivation period, and once you advance to the foundation building period, your strength is very amazing, so the monk naturally has to pay special attention to it.
However, now is not a good opportunity to inquire about these things, they can only wait quietly with gloomy faces, fortunately, the appearance of these two people can be regarded as a reassuring pill for them, I think that after the careful arrangement and arrangement of the sect, the disciples should have gained a lot, right?
According to the past practice and experience, since some disciples have begun to return, it should be a group of disciples who have appeared one after another, but to everyone's great surprise, after these two people came out, there was no movement at the crack in the space, and after waiting for a long time, there were no more disciples coming out.
Time passed very slowly at this time, and in this anxious waiting, the solemn atmosphere really made it difficult to breathe, but the more in such a situation, the more people did not dare to act easily, for fear of causing some unnecessary misunderstandings. Especially when the monks of the Second Sect looked at the people of the Holy Fire Alliance at this time, their eyes had already changed a little.
In fact, it is not that similar things have happened before, there have been a few times when the disciples who came out of the secret realm are only the disciples of the Holy Fire Alliance, although they really don't know what happened to them, but if it is said that all of them have encountered changes and cannot come out, only the monks of the Holy Fire Alliance are lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, this is a little too incredible. Even at that time, the monks of the other two sects were still assigned, and their cultivation was uneven, and only one or two leading disciples were in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi cultivation period, but the loss was really amazing. What's more, if there are no disciples coming back, it means that there is a lack of spiritual materials, which is the sharp decline in the number of sect building foundations, which is the most fatal thing. It is precisely because of this that the few trips to the secret realm, the gap between the three major sects in those decades has changed the strength of the three major sects, forming a situation where the Holy Fire Alliance has now faintly surpassed the other two sects.
Could it be that after so many years, these guys of the Holy Fire Alliance want to repeat their old tricks, and want to use the trip to the secret realm to widen the gap between them? It's just that with the previous lesson, the two sects are naturally on guard, and each group of disciples involved in it is the best in the same realm, and even in order to prevent accidents, often some means will be arranged in the sect, is it possible that in such a situation, the Holy Fire Alliance still has such ability?
Thinking like this, they couldn't help but re-release their divine sense to probe the two Holy Fire Alliance disciples, the more they investigated, the more suspicious they became, although the strength of these two disciples was indeed good, but after thinking of their own disciples' situation, they were a little uncertain.
