Chapter 41: The Terrible Chu Yanlan
"No! Absolutely not!"
As soon as he heard that Chu He wanted to act alone, Chu Yanlan vetoed almost without thinking about it. The rest of the people also shook their heads in unison, if it was said that because of the conflict of purpose, Chu He wanted to leave the team, it was definitely something that no one wanted to see.
Chu He suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, he really wanted to say to Chu Yanlan, your brother's strength is actually far from being so simple. Chuyang and Qinshui swords came out together, and he was not afraid at all when he encountered the middle stage of qi refining, if he counted the blow of Lang Huan's heart sword, it was her Chu Yanlan herself, and it was difficult to say what the result would be.
What's more, with the help of the extremely fast flying sword, Chu He is not afraid of anyone in long-distance running, and he can't beat it.
With Chu He's insight, the danger of acting alone is not necessarily greater than staying in the team, and most of the danger actually comes from other monks, rather than the extremely difficult environment in the eyes of others.
However, of course, he couldn't say these things to Chu Yanlan, so he had to say, "Okay, okay, I won't leave the team without permission." Anyway, let's go to White Wave Cliff first. ”
Chu Yanlan nodded, but still looked at Chu He vigilantly, for fear that he would disappear in a blink of an eye. On the contrary, Xiao Yunhan glanced at Chu He strangely, as if he remembered something, and a smile appeared on his face.
So under Chu Yanlan's gaze, Chu He and his party hit the road again.
The process of coming to the White Wave Cliff was not alarming, as mentioned before, most of the dangers in the Valley of Desperation came from other monks, as well as the guardian spirit beasts of some kind of treasure storage point, not in the environment itself.
The Heavenly Curse Corridor was not close to the White Wave Cliff, and despite Chu He's cheating help, when everyone arrived at the White Wave Cliff, the time was almost the next morning.
"Let's take a rest first, Baibo Cliff is a ghost lair, and after a night's journey, you will always be a little tired. When she came to Baibo Cliff, Chu Yanlan checked the situation and found a suitable resting tunnel.
In essence, Qi refining stage cultivators are still mortals, including the foundation building period, and only Jindan Zhenren can be regarded as true immortal cultivators. This is also the reason why within the cultivation world, Qi refining and foundation building will be determined to be the same generation.
Even if they are also mortals, Qi refining cultivators are obviously closer to mortals than those in the foundation building, and the immortal realm of not eating or sleeping is completely impossible, and it cannot be said that traveling overnight has a great impact, but as Chu Yanlan said, "You will always be a little tired."
Besides, the night has not yet dispersed at this time, and it is just a matter of walking in the dense forest, so it is a big deal to be more careful, but the ghosts on the White Wave Cliff are not a joke.
Unlike Chu He who saw the ghost soldiers in the small secret realm, the spirit ghosts were actually not ghosts, but creatures that were bred in the extreme yin environment. The body of the spirit ghost is completely composed of yin energy, but they are not as afraid of yang energy as ghosts, in fact, they can easily devour the weaker yang attribute power.
Taking Chu He's Chuyang Sword Technique as an example, the ghosts are completely restrained by the Chuyang Sword, and the spirits and ghosts are symbiotic with it. In the face of the spirit ghosts above the middle stage of qi refining, Chu He not only could not take advantage, but would be suppressed by the other party.
Just as Chu He and the others were sitting still and waiting, there was a sound of conversation not far away, but everyone was vigilant again.
"The White Wave Cliff is extremely dangerous, not to be taken lightly, let's wait until dawn before entering. ”
"What Senior Brother Mo said is very true, the spirit ghost is the genus of extreme yin, and now is just the beginning of the year, and it is definitely not the best time to fight against the spirit and ghost. ”
"Why don't I rest for a while, and wait until ...... Well, aren't those people from the Qianyang Martial Sect?"
Under the night, although the light was faint, the monk's vision was far beyond that of ordinary people, and Chu He and the others would not have time to hide their tracks, so they would naturally be exposed to the eyes of the visitors. But at the same time, they also sensed the identity of the person who came.
It's actually the Heavenly Blood Dao of Six!
Chu Yanlan and the others stood up in unison, looking at the other side with a cold expression, while the people of the Heavenly Blood Dao also stopped, and the two sides looked at each other without giving an inch. Judging from the lineup, the strength of the two sides is still between the two sides.
Of the six people in the Heavenly Blood Dao, only Mo Tianxin and the girl in black were in the late stage of Qi refining, and the remaining four, including Yan Xuedao, were all in the middle stage of Qi refining. On the side of the Qianyang Martial Sect, although Chu He was dragging his feet, there were three masters in the late stage of qi refining, which could be regarded as evenly matched.
Seeing that Chu He and the others had already arrived first, Mo Tianxin frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but the girl behind him pulled his arm and said softly: "The Baibo Cliff Spirit Ghost is naturally restrained in my Heavenly Blood Dao, and we are not mortal enemies with the disciples of the Qianyang Martial Sect, so we can work together." ”
Mo Tianxin smiled and nodded: "Senior sister's words are exactly what I want." Just take the lead in speaking, it will inevitably weaken the momentum. ”
The girl in black shook her head lightly and said, "With Chu Yanlan's temperament, no matter how you and I answer, we are destined to be in a weak position. As long as what you get in the end isn't discounted, why not let them have the upper hand?"
Mo Tianxin hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, stepped forward and said loudly: "Chu Yanlan, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other. This time, we came to Baibo Cliff to seek the spirit and ghost of Senior Sister Ye, if you and I do not have conflicting goals, we can join forces to act in unison. ”
Among the six people in the Heavenly Blood Dao, only the girl in black was a woman, and what Senior Sister Ye said was naturally her.
Chu Yanlan has a tough personality, but she is not a person who knows what to do, she didn't pay attention to Mo Tianxin's words at this time, but moved her gaze to the woman in black, and said with a rare smile: "Senior Sister Ye...... Could it be that Ye Youyou, the junior sister of the three major families of Fengxingling, traveled a hundred miles at night with one person and one sword, and slaughtered the three major families of Fengxingling?"
The girl in black didn't show the slightest embarrassment, the smile on her face was extraordinarily humble, and she bowed slightly: "Ye Youyou has seen Senior Sister Chu. ”
The three major sects in the south have always been in the same spirit, and Chu Yanlan became famous very early, and it is not an exaggeration for Ye Youyou to call her a senior sister.
Chu Yanlan's face gradually became solemn, if it was said that there was only one Mo Tianxin, she and Bai Yixuan would definitely be able to easily suppress each other, but with one more Ye Youyou...... This woman was already famous on the Hanging Island back then, and now that she has cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining, her reputation has faded, which means that the other party no longer needs to rely on her reputation to raise herself.
When Chu Yanlan mentioned Ye Youyou's deeds, Chu He noticed that Xiao Yunhan's face changed suddenly, and he immediately asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xiao, where does this Ye Youyou come from?"
Xiao Yunhan glanced at him, and did not shy away from it, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Youyou, like your third sister, is also a character who voluntarily entered the Hanging Island when he was underage, speaking of which, he is still a fellow countryman, Yunzhou Ye family......"
Chu He was slightly stunned. According to his memory, the Ye family's focus was on the Medicine Spirit Valley, and the Qianyang Martial Sect and the Heavenly Blood Dao were only slightly taken into account, and now it seems that this Ye Youyou is not simple.
The two were talking about Ye Youyou's identity, and Chu Yanlan had already set up a cooperation intention with Mo Tianxin. Spirits and ghosts are extremely rare and valuable, but the places where they play a role are also rare, basically except for the disciples of the Heavenly Blood Dao, no one will have a demand, so Mo Tianxin will speak out.
Since there is no conflict between the goals of the two sides, cooperation is a win-win situation, so the people on both sides will soon be united.
Seeing that Mo Tianxin had already decided to cooperate with the other party, Yan Xuedao didn't want to say anything, just hummed and chirped as he walked: "This Baibo Cliff is one of the three fierce places in the Desperate Valley, I really don't know how the little guy in the early stage of Qi refining dares to come in!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became embarrassing, and the person behind Yan Xuedao hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Be careful when you speak, that is Chu Yanlan's own brother Chu He!"
Yan Xuedao's expression froze, and he finally remembered that in the list of personnel of the Qianyang Martial Sect that they had learned, there was indeed a younger brother of Chu Yanlan, Chu He, but he didn't contact the person in front of him for a while.
But the words have been spoken, and if you soften it immediately, it doesn't seem to look good on this side...... Yan Xuedao gritted his teeth and added calmly: "This must be Senior Brother Chu, isn't it? Isn't it alarmist for my brother! The spirits and ghosts in the Baibo Cliff are not trivial, and there are many of them, with your cultivation, it is better to stay outside and watch the wind for us?"
Mo Tianxin's face turned completely dark, and he glared at someone behind him fiercely, and said in his heart, where did you find the strange thing, and still look at the wind?
In the face of Yan Xuedao's conceit, Chu He was also silent. For the first time, he knew that the deterrent power of his third sister had reached this level, and just a name could make the other party take the initiative to soften.
"Don't bother Senior Brother Yan. Chu He glanced at him with some amusement and replied lazily.
was pushed back by Chu He's words, this Yan Xuedao actually laughed twice, didn't say anything, and silently drilled back into the team of the Heavenly Blood Dao.
Chu He finally couldn't help it, turned his head speechlessly, and secretly asked Xiao Yunhan, "My third sister is so terrible?"
To Chu He's surprise, Xiao Yunhan nodded his head and replied solemnly: "You also saw that Ye Youyou just now, do you know that Lu Dao slaughtered three families in one night, but he was so polite to your third sister?"
"It's not because of ...... Is she by nature?" Chu He was a little unsure.
"Of course not. Xiao Yunhan sneered disdainfully, "Ye Youyou is a talented person, but he is extremely arrogant, it is said that he joined the sect angrily because he was born in a side family and couldn't stand the unfair treatment of the family." ”
According to the normal process, qualified monks are all in the mortal realm to hone their minds enough, and they also have enough background before they can enter the sect and accumulate steadily, like Chu He and Xu Wanqing. And those who enter the sect in advance, although they can start earlier, they are likely to be stuck in the Jindan step in the future, and the gains outweigh the losses.
To put it simply, the loopholes left behind today will take several times or even dozens of times longer to remediate in the future.
"Could it be that my third sister ...... her" Chu He finally realized.
"Not bad. She will be so polite, just because your third sister is tougher and more proud than her. Xiao Yunhan seemed to remember something, and his expression was slightly emotional, "Two years ago, a loose cultivator sneaked into the Hanging Island and killed a female monk on Tianji Peak who was friendly with her, and then your third sister followed the man's trail and chased all the way out of the Hanging Island. ”
"And then?"
Then she came back with that person's head and the cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining. ”
