Chapter 259: It's over before it even begins
"This ...... Miss Wen, we are afraid of what danger you will encounter here. ”
Afraid that Wen Yuan will be in danger? Can...... Now the most dangerous thing in their continent is Wen Yuan, who can still let her get hurt now?
Seeing that Wen Yuan was determined to play with them for a few days, the men didn't stop him, "In that case, then Miss Wen should be careful, this token can make you unimpeded anywhere on the mainland, so you have to put it away." ”
There was such a convenient thing, Wen Yuan casually threw the token into his space bracelet, "Thank you." ”
But she also understands that this group of men will not let themselves wander around the mainland, and this token may have other uses.
This time Wen Yuan really guessed correctly, someone applied a tracking spell on the token, as long as Wen Yuan took it, her whereabouts were transparent, as long as this group of men wanted to find her, they would definitely find it.
Wen Yuan wanted to leave today, but when she heard that the annual event on this continent was going to be held here, she agreed to stay without much thought.
"What kind of event is it?" Wen Yuan asked as he looked at the spring beside him expectantly.
Quan calculated the time, "It should be the Immortal Cultivation Conference, which will be held every year." ”
This Wen Yuan didn't understand, "Aren't they unable to cultivate?" So what's the point of holding such a grand event? ”
"It is precisely because many people on this continent can't cultivate that they have to come every year to find out if there are suitable seedlings, even if there is only a little broken spiritual root, they will accept them."
Hearing Quan say this, Wen Yuan felt that his former self was still more suitable to be a person on this continent.
The next day, the scene at the foot of the mountain began to be arranged, and the inn where Wen Yuan and the others stayed happened to be able to see the other side of the mountain from the position above the third floor.
Wen Yuan leaned against the window like this, looking at the shrunken crowd over there.
Soon it was the day of the Immortal Cultivation Conference, and the number of people who came here to participate was innumerable.
However, most of them are just as lively as Wen Yuan, and those who really participate in the immortal cultivation conference are still those young people who are full of energy.
Looking at them, Wen Yuan thought of the day he participated in the Root Recognition Celebration for the first time.
He stood in front of the Root Recognition Dharma Ball with great interest, looking forward to seeing his spiritual root.
But I never thought that there was nothing.
It was from that day that she fell from the noble altar to the dust.
She saw with her own eyes the disappointed expressions of her father and mother that day, and also saw the disbelief in the eyes of her brothers.
It was also from that day that Wen Yuan's temperament completely changed, and his overnight maturity was a little unacceptable to his family.
became dislike to talk to people, and completely closed herself off, and after a long time, she gradually figured out these things, and only then did she figure out what if she didn't have a spiritual root and couldn't cultivate, she was still the county lord of the Dragon Country.
Power is sometimes more frightening than cultivation.
So she completely wrapped herself in a strong shell, she was a proud county lord in front of people, and behind people, in a place that no one could see, she was just a girl who would cry silently because she didn't have a spiritual root and couldn't cultivate.
"Today we have welcomed many young people who are full of expectations, so who has the honor of becoming the apprentice of the top cultivator on the continent, let's wait and see."
Just as she was about to enter the first round of screening, the sky suddenly changed, and Wen Yuan was almost swept out by the wind, but fortunately, Shen Huaiyan next to her grabbed her in time.
I saw a distorted human face flash between the black clouds, and a piercing voice came from the sky, "Hahahahahaha!" I still want to cultivate, it's just a pipe dream! ”
As soon as the words fell, the strong wind blew the arranged scene in all directions, and those young people who participated in the immortal cultivation conference were also swept away by wisps of black smoke at the same time.
Wen Yuan looked at the direction of the black smoke and felt that something was wrong, and was about to follow in person to take a look, but was stopped by the person behind him, "Don't act rashly, I and Xuan Yuan have never encountered today's situation, what if you are in any danger?" ”
"What danger can I have, if I don't go with it, those young people will definitely be in danger." After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he shook off Quan's hand, "If you don't worry, you can follow me." ”
Quan had no choice but to let Shen Huaiyan follow Wen Yuan, and it would be cumbersome to have too many people on such occasions.
The two of them followed the black smoke to a valley far from the center of the city, and Wen Yuan couldn't remember how long he had been flying in the sky, "Where the hell are they going to take these people captive." ”
"Looks like it's almost there, they're slowing down."
It didn't take long to see those black smoke flying towards a cave, Wen Yuan followed closely behind, and Shen Huaiyan stayed behind to see if he was following them.
Wen Yuan was very confident in her stealth technique, and after casually inflicting a demon on herself, she swaggered in, and it turned out that the strength of these people was far inferior to her, otherwise they would have found out the moment Wen Yuan stepped into the cave.
Still, these people sensed the clue, "How can there be such footprints on this ground?" ”
As soon as the masked man spoke, Wen Yuan noticed that when he walked in, he accidentally stepped on a dusty place, leaving a small footprint.
"It's just footprints, if we can't keep them, let's lock them all up first."
"No, no, no, you guys." These black-clothed men were very cautious, squatting on the ground in a circle and studying the extra footprints, "These footprints are very small, and they look like girls' feet." And the few people we brought with us were only three girls. ”
They turned their gaze to the three girls behind them, "Go, take off one of their shoes." ”
A group of men took a woman's shoe and compared it to the footprints on the ground, "None of them are right, that is...... Someone came in when we left......"
"Let's go inside!" One of the men said nervously as he ran into the depths of the cave.
This cave was a little small, Wen Yuan only felt that he was unable to move, so he turned into a flying insect and followed behind the group of men, while Shen Huaiyan stayed outside the cave to answer.
She flew into the depths, it was too dark around her, and as she was thinking that there was nothing here, the men worked together to push away a boulder.
As he went deeper, Wen Yuan saw the true secret of this cave.
Behind the boulders is a natural cave, which is large enough to accommodate a lot of people.
But the more he flew in, the more Wen Yuan could hear some bad sounds, as if they were a mixture of men and women calling for help......
The men in black divided into several ways, and Wen Yuan followed the leader, she believed that she would find something.
"Let us out...... Let us out......"
Wen Yuan didn't expect that there were so many people locked up in this cave, most of them were men and women of the same age as herself, and some looked younger, but she didn't understand why these people in black were locked up here.
After a while, several men in black converged and talked about the situation in the area they managed, "So it's a lot, and no one has ever come in?" ”
"It seems so."
"But what the hell is going on with that footprint......"
Several men couldn't think of a reason for it.
One of them advised everyone not to be too nervous, "This may be the wife of a certain woodcutter looking for someone, and we haven't met it before." ”
When he said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, one of the young men who had been taken captive opened his mouth and succeeded in diverting the attention of the men, "Who are you?" What's the purpose of catching us here! ”
"Lots of words." The man at the head slapped his palm, and the man who spoke instantly fainted, "Who else has a problem?" ”
Seeing that he was knocked unconscious after only saying two words, who dared to speak again, the group of people kept their mouths closed, and some didn't even dare to raise their eyes to look at the people in front of them.
"Okay, don't worry about it for now, keep them in there, it's not safe here."
Wen Yuan saw that they pushed the boulder away again, and quickly flapped his little wings and followed.
She really doesn't understand, she has no grievances, what are these people arrested.
"It's getting late, why don't you eat in this cave today?"
"Yes, I agree, I still have some bought dry food in my ring, do you eat it or not."
The man in the lead knocked down the naan in his hand, "What dry food to eat on a good day, forget it, I have a treat today, let's go and have a good meal." ”
When they walked outside, Wen Yuan saw that they had taken off their black masks and even changed their outfits completely.
What the hell is going on...... Wen Yuan asked Shen Huaiyan to stay here, and she followed the group.
It wasn't until he was in the tavern that Wen Yuan saw the leading man's face clearly, "How is it possible...... He's not...... Lost in the last battle of the demon gods? How could it be ......"
Wen Yuan invisibly observed the man in front of him carefully, thinking that maybe he just looked like him.
But even the scars on the man's hands are the same as in the record.
Wen Yuan began to realize that something was wrong, she left the tavern and summoned Ling Han in a hidden alley, "After a while, you follow me invisibly, I will point you to someone, you follow him, understand?" ”
Seeing Wen Yuan's serious appearance, Ling Han knew the importance of the matter, she nodded solemnly and followed Wen Yuan into the tavern.
But as soon as she walked in, Wen Yuan noticed that the man's expression had changed, and she realized that the man in front of her must be stronger than Ling Han, and now she had noticed her.
I knew that I should have been cautious just now and applied stealth to her myself.
"That man seems to have discovered you, don't look over there, I'll give you a disguise now, you just find someone to follow, and then show a little bit of your true identity to the man in the left corner, let him know that your cultivation is not as good as his, you know? When necessary, remove the invisibility technique only for him. ”
