Chapter Seventy-Three: Attack 1
"In the Netherworld Mountain Range, although there are many dangers, for the elites of you outer sects, as long as you don't encounter a small number of fourth-order demon beasts, basically, there won't be much danger. Elder Fang explained, "Moreover, once the three or five of you get together, even if you encounter a fourth-order demon beast, based on your respective experience, you can smoothly dodge it. ”
Elder Fang's explanation, instead of relieving Fang Tiannan and the others, added a bit of solemnity to their hearts.
"However, everyone also knows that Qingyun Sect, as one of the three major sects in the vicinity, still has a lot of opponents. Elder Fang thought about it and said, "After all, it's only one of the three major sects, not the only major sect. ”
The meaning in these words, Fang Tiannan and the others suddenly came to their senses.
"What does Elder Fang mean is that once we leave the city, we may encounter an ambush by the people of the Bihai Sect and the Taihang Gang?" Wu Yun thought for a moment and said, "However, isn't our mission this time carried out in secret?
"It's done in secret, so you have to be extra careful. Deacon Wu was on the side and interjected, "For the secret place of the Qingyun Sect, after so many years, the other sects, to say that they don't know anything at all, do you think it's possible?"
Fang Tiannan and the others subconsciously shook their heads.
"Yes,...... Deacon Wu looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't think it's possible." Especially after a period of ten years, in the next two or three years, the human Yuan Realm martial artists of our sect will far exceed the other two major sects. It's hard not to get their attention so repeatedly. ”
However, this time, Fang Tiannan and the others did not subconsciously nod. At least, from Deacon Wu's mouth, I know that the twenty outer disciples in this line will have a great chance to break through to the Renyuan realm and become inner disciples in the next two or three years.
According to Fang Tiannan's understanding of the Qingyun Sect, the number of members of the inner sect of the sect is not large. Don't look at the current situation, there are thousands of outer disciples in Qingyun Sect, but among them, there is not even a one percent probability that they can successfully break through to the realm of the Human Yuan Realm. And most of the children of the outer disciples are between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five.
If a cultivator is over thirty-five years old and has not yet entered the Human Yuan Realm, then even if he barely breaks through to the Human Yuan Realm in the days to come, he will not reach too high a level of cultivation in the end. Therefore, those who break through the martial arts and become real people after the age of thirty-five basically cannot become the inner disciples of the sect. It can only be a position that participates in the sect, such as a deacon sent by an expatriate.
Just like the deacon that Fang Tiannan met in Qingyun Pavilion and exchanged for the identity nameplate of the children of the outer sect, or most of the tutors and deacons that the children of the outer sect followed and studied, basically belonged to this type.
And according to the thousands of disciples of the outer sect, in the sixteenth or seventeenth year, if all the people who have the opportunity to advance to the human yuan realm have broken through to the real people, it is nothing more than less than a hundred. Therefore, according to normal circumstances, on average, Qingyun Sect can have new inner disciples every year, that is, about five or six members.
From this, it can be seen that if Fang Tiannan and his party were all promoted to the Renyuan Realm in the next two or three years, what kind of impact would they have on the rest of the sects.
Even if there were only ten people who entered the "practice room" of the secret place, all of them were promoted, which was enough to attract the attention of the higher-level leaders of the rest of the sects.
For a while, the twenty children of the outer sect all felt the heaviness of their hearts......
"Well, don't think about it. Elder Fang summed up and said, "Outside of this secret place, even if you encounter danger, don't panic too much. Fortunately, although our group will be scattered, the distance between us will not be too large. If you really encounter any danger, you can try to protect yourself and wait for our arrival. ...... Got it?"
"Understood. Hearing this, many disciples of the outer sect nodded.
"Alright, I'll arrange the order below. Elder Fang said, "Wu Zhi went out in advance to find out the situation in the vicinity as soon as possible, and then, it's me." Next, Chen Yan, Yun Ruohua, Shui Youhan, Xiao Ruo, and you, those who entered the secret land, according to the order of entry, went out one after another, and after that, there were the remaining ten people, the most ,...... the last."
Elder Fang glanced at the other deacon beside him and said, "You are responsible for the last one to go out, and to maintain the order of everyone, as well as the time when each of them will go out. ”
While speaking, Deacon Wu had already walked to a place with strange patterns at the end of the passage, beckoned to Fang Tiannan and the other ten people, and said, "I still need the help of the ten of you, let's all come over." ”
Fang Tiannan and the other ten people glanced at each other, all of them were people who had entered the secret place "practice room", everyone approached Deacon Wu's side, and according to Deacon Wu's instructions, they once again touched their hands to the patterns pointed out by Deacon Wu, and they all ran the energy in their bodies. In an instant, twenty-three gates appeared on the walls of this space where there was no way out.
On each gate, there was a faint light.
Without saying a word, Deacon Wu walked directly into one of the gates. Fang Tiannan and the others saw that as Deacon Wu stepped in, the light on the entire door first flickered strongly, and then completely disappeared. And the gate on the wall also disappeared.
Elder Fang looked at everyone with a rather curious look in his eyes, and explained with a smile: "This is the secret place of the sect, and the number of people has always been prescribed. Otherwise, why did the sect assign the three of us to lead such an important task? Moreover, there are many requirements for the people who lead the team in terms of age and strength, and you don't need to understand it at the moment. In the future, if you have the opportunity to lead the next batch of newcomers here, you will know the way. ”
As he spoke, Elder Fang's figure also disappeared into one of the gates......
Chen Yan, who had been decided by Elder Fang in advance, was the first disciple of the outer sect to walk out of the secret place, and after seeing Deacon Wu and Elder Fang leaving one after another, he came to one of the gates. I just wanted to lift my feet and walk out, but the deacon who was left behind pulled him.
"Wait a minute. The deacon said, "Let me go five minutes and then go out." In the future, the interval between the time each of you will go out will gradually increase. ”
Someone just wanted to ask why, but soon, everyone understood. This is to reserve enough time for Deacon Wu and Elder Fang, who are the first to go out. The longer the interval between people's absence, the greater the personal safety can be guaranteed.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but ask a new question: "That, I want to ask, is it too little in just five minutes?"
When the deacon heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? When the time comes, even if Elder Fang and the others can't find us, they can still return to the sect and mobilize the power of the sect to find us. However, there is a limit to how long the gates of this place can be opened. After the time point, then we really can't get out. ......”
Suddenly, everyone stopped talking.
The ensuing process is basically that whoever the deacon calls to pick a door and walk out. In the words of the deacon, each gate corresponds to only one person leaving, and all exits are different, depending on everyone's luck. It may appear in a thatched bush, or it may appear in the nest of a group of demon beasts, and it is completely random.
When it was Fang Tiannan's turn, Fang Tiannan couldn't help but secretly pray, even if he encountered a demon beast, he wouldn't go directly to the demon beast's den.
It seems that Fang Tiannan's prayer really worked. When Fang Tiannan passed through the door on the wall, his entire body was uncontrollable, wrapped and pulled by a wave of energy, and then, there was a free fall movement.
"Uh, did I run directly into the air?" Before Fang Tiannan finished sighing, he only heard a "poof", and Fang Tiannan suddenly felt that his surroundings were completely completely submerged by a piece of cold water.
It took a lot of effort for Fang Tiannan to finally swim from a waterhole to the shore.
I rummaged through the baggage I was carrying, and the clothes inside were all soaked. Fang Tiannan thought about it for a while, and smiled again: "Fortunately, there are still a few sets of clothes hidden in my boundary card. ”
When he changed into dry clothes and breathed the air in the Netherworld Mountain Range, Fang Tiannan felt refreshed, much more comfortable than in the cave in the secret place of the sect. Looking at the sky at this time, it was gray, and it was impossible to tell whether it was dawn or evening.
However, just as Fang Tiannan carefully probed the surrounding environment, there was no danger, and the sky gradually darkened a little, Fang Tiannan suddenly felt a bad feeling.
It's really not a good time to get out of the secret place.
