Volume 3 The Terrans of the Metaverse Chapter 43: Tracking
Xiaolian kept crying, Chen Fan could only comfort Xiaolian over and over again and slowly approached the crooked-necked locust tree, until he put Xiaolian on one of the branches of the locust tree, maybe he was tired of crying, or maybe it was the breath emanating from the locust tree that had been hiding for a long time that made Xiaolian feel more at ease, and Xiaolian fell asleep deeply.
Seeing Xiaolian like this, Chen Fan didn't want to disturb Xiaolian now, even if he had a hard heart, so he raised his head and looked at the Nine Ghost Demon Venerable standing in the distance, and walked over lightly after receiving his signal.
"How is it, did you ask anything?" As soon as Chen Fan approached, the Nine Demon Venerable couldn't wait to ask.
Chen Fan spread his hands, shook his head in distress and replied, "This little girl may not know anything, and she is frightened, even if she knows something, she can't ask for a while." ”
The Nine Demon Venerable fell into deep thought, Chen Fan stood aside, looking at the sleeping little lotus on the branch of the locust tree with loving eyes, while waiting for the Nine Demon Venerable's orders, and his mouth let out a soft sigh: "It's really pitiful to encounter such a thing at such a young age. ”
After another half an hour, not only did Xiaolian not wake up, but he didn't see any indication from the Nine Demon Venerables, Chen Fan couldn't help but ask, "Lord Demon Venerable, what should we do now?"
"Don't worry, the deity is still checking some things!" The Nine Demon Venerable's eyes exuded a ghostly light, and he looked at the sleeping Xiaolian without blinking and replied to Chen Fan: "What can be seen at a glance, but because the deity is too seriously injured, I haven't been able to see it until now!"
Xiao Lian, who was originally sleeping on the side of the Nine Demon Venerable and Chen Fan, seemed to feel something on the branch of the locust tree, and she rolled up vigorously in her sleep, and then turned over, allowing herself to relax a little after facing the Nine Demon Venerable, and then continued to sleep.
At the moment when Xiaolian turned around, the glow in the eyes of the Nine Demon Venerable went out, and he muttered to himself, "That's really the case...... That's exactly ......."
Chen Fan hurriedly asked first: "Lord Demon Venerable, what happened, what did you find?"
"Hehe, the human race is a strange race, you should know that because of heaven and earth, each human race contains the bloodline of seventy-two demon gods, but these bloodlines are not balanced, just like the bloodline of the fiery god ape in Yuan Pi's body is naturally much more than the bloodline of other ancient demon gods, this kind of human race was called the bloodline descendant by our ancient demon gods in ancient times. The Nine Demon Venerable opened his mouth and slowly explained: "They are more suitable for cultivating the exercises of the Demon God than the most primitive primordial race, any ancient demon god will take it under his command as soon as he discovers this bloodline descendant in the human race, and even the tribe to which this bloodline descendant belongs will be taken care of by the Demon God to a certain extent!"
"In ancient times, because of the eldest brother, the deity and the vast majority of the ancient demon gods and holy ancestors became enemies, in the war, the deity protected the eldest brother's son Ling Yunlai to come here through time, I thought that the bloodline descendants of the deity had already been completely wiped out in the ancient war, but I didn't expect that whether it was Bai Zhan or Xiaolian, they were born with much more bloodlines of the Nine Shadows than other ancient demon gods, and they were actually descendants of the bloodline of the deity!"
"Hehe!" The Nine Demon Venerable sneered: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I first found Bai Zhan in Tianyuan Sect, and now I actually found this little girl here, but it's a pity that he was actually made like this!"
"Then ...... now" Looking at the Nine Ghost Demon Venerable, who was already full of anger and was about to explode if he couldn't say anything, Chen Fan didn't know what to say.
"Chen Fan, you set off immediately, escort that little girl back to Tianyuan Sect, and wait for the deity to come back before making a decision!" The Nine Demon Venerable thought for a while and then ordered in a deep voice: "Remember, don't leak the news when you go, except for Ah Min, even if it is Chen Li and their brothers, you have hidden it from the deity, and you must not let others know about the existence of this little girl!"
"Lord Demon Venerable, won't you go back with me?" Chen Fan asked suspiciously.
"I'm not going to go for the time being, but I'll take a closer look around here. The Nine Demon Venerable said as he tapped a few times on Chen Fan: "After all, it is on the land of the Yuan Kingdom, this is not the territory of the blood cultivators, you alone must always be vigilant, don't cause trouble, escorting that little girl back safely is your main task!"
Chen Fan knew very well in his heart that the Nine Ghost Demon Venerable clicked on his body a few times, in order to completely hide the breath of the power of the blood on his body, and after letting the Nine Demon Venerable do it without resistance, Chen Fan bowed respectfully, returned to the edge of the locust tree and gently put the sleeping little lotus into his cuffs, and then galloped away in the direction of Tianyuan Sect.
The Nine Demon Venerable watched Chen Fan leave, and then the figure slowly dissipated, leaving only a soft cold snort in place.
After a few days of competition, the internal selection competition of Tianyuan Sect came to an end, and the result was naturally a few happy and a few worried, whether it was a generation of disciples, or two or three generations of disciples, those who won the top ten naturally invited a few good brothers to have a good drink together, and then entered a tense state of cultivation again, preparing for the next big competition of the sect to win the top ten again, and those who did not get the ranking, after secretly resenting themselves, also cultivated hard, who knows if the competition is only once, in case there will be another in the future?
It is worth mentioning that the ring of the second-generation disciples, except for Mengde, almost all the second-generation disciples who were ranked first were swept by Long Xuan, after a few days of emergency treatment, only Aoki and Shushui were able to barely get up from the bed and walk around, Zhang Daoyi, who was fully responsible for this matter because of the disciple's fault, really had no choice but to personally refine a large number of pills, and only to restore those seriously injured disciples to normalcy one by one.
Zhang Daoyi, who was too lazy to organize the selection of second-generation disciples, was very irresponsible and threw the matter of selecting the top ten to Lin Buyu, the referee of the ring at that time, and Lin Buyu happened to be the tenth among the first-generation disciples, and Lin Buyu, who was in a hurry to cultivate, had no time to deal with this at all, so according to his memory when he watched the battle, he picked a few and arranged the top ten second-generation disciples to enter the retreat again, Zhang Daoyi did not find out, because he forgot to explain, Long Xuan, Chen Li, Chen Guang's three names and even Ling Yun's names were among the top ten second-generation disciples.
When the selection was over, when those generation of disciples flocked to the forbidden land again, Long Xuan and Chen Li had already entered the retreat, Long Xuan and the others went to the Xia Kingdom, the Nine Ghost Demon Venerable took Chen Fan to Bai Zhan's hometown, and the Nine Shadows who remained in the Tianyuan Sect were also missing at this time.
In a small scenic ravine not far from the Tianyuan Valley, where there are hundreds of flowers everywhere, the air is full of fragrance, bees are busy flying around among the flowers, a few white and flawless rabbits are leisurely strolling in the morning bushes, they stop from time to time to sniff carefully and then happily bite a blade of grass into their mouths and chew it slowly, the sweet grass juice makes these fat white rabbits enjoy squinting their eyes.
Suddenly, several lazy white rabbits that were almost asleep opened their eyes violently, pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and then quickly ran into the deep grass and disappeared, a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe fell from the sky with a roar, and stood firmly on the ground.
As soon as he landed, the flying edge under the man's feet detached from his feet, and after a few circles around him, the flying sword shrank and flew into the man's cuffs, and the man looked around vigilantly, and then walked forward quickly.
"Who?" Just walked a distance, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped and burst into a loud shout, and the shrunken flying sword suddenly flew out of the cuff, and then instantly became larger and swept around, and then stopped beside him.
After a while, the middle-aged man who didn't find the slightest abnormality flicked on the handle of the flying sword, the flying sword instantly shrunk, and was once again included in his sleeve, and his sharp eyes glanced around again, and after finding no problem, he raised his right hand, and bounced his fingers regularly and then flicked a few times in the seemingly empty air.
A faint light popped out of his fingertips, and then disappeared in front of him inexplicably, the scenery in front of him suddenly appeared a blur, as if tearing off the curtain, and a small room appeared not far in front of him, and after the hut was completely clear, the middle-aged man quickly walked towards the hut, but the scenery behind him returned to its original state in the blur, and the hut and the middle-aged man disappeared without a trace as if they had never appeared.
After the man and the hut disappeared, a ripple flashed in the air, and the Nine Shadows, who were supposed to be in the forbidden land of the Tianyuan Sect, slowly appeared in place.
"Sneaky, even the face has changed, there is really something wrong with this cloud!" Jiu Youmin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and glanced at the cuffs, only to see that a small opening was cut in that position, and he thought to himself: "Fortunately, my father-in-law taught me the method of hiding when he left, otherwise he wouldn't have discovered the trace just now." ”
Pressing the fear in his heart, Jiu Youmin took a few steps forward to the place where the middle-aged man opened the prohibition and stopped, carefully looked at the place in front of him that seemed to be empty, and saw the ripples of thin lines shining in front of him, Jiu Youmin raised his right hand lightly and wanted to reach over to try it, but after thinking about it, he was afraid of disturbing the middle-aged man, so he gave up the next action.
He was not familiar with the prohibition, and seeing that he couldn't break this prohibition at all, Jiu Youmin shook his head, and then gently retreated to the place where he had hidden before, and once again hid his body, as if he had been a killer at the beginning, and waited patiently.
After a long while, the fat white rabbits seemed to feel that the danger had passed, and gently came out of the grass, looked around vigilantly, and saw that there was really no danger around, and these white rabbits relaxed again, and munched on the fat leaves with confidence.
Before these rabbits could eat, the sudden ripples in the space scared them into the grass again, and the middle-aged man appeared in the grass again, he looked around carefully, and did not find any difference from when he entered, so he shook his hand and released the flying sword, flying in the direction of Tianyuan Valley.
