"Master, let me out. Xiao Hei suddenly preached to Zhang Yifan, his tone anxious.

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he tried his best to open the spirit beast bag and Xiao Hei came out. As soon as Xiao Hei came out, he began to release black flames to wrap Zhang Yifan.

After a while, Zhang Yifan felt that his body was beginning to recover, and there was still a trace of warmth, but it was not scorching. The black flame that wrapped his whole body did not hurt Zhang Yifan in the slightest, but only drove away the cold around Zhang Yifan, forming a protective shield the size of a zhang.

All this stems from Xiao Hei's control of his own black flame, and the strength that Xiao Hei is showing now makes Zhang Yifan look sideways, he can't imagine that Xiao Hei's control of his own black flame after the advancement has reached an incredible level.

With Xiao Hei's black flame protection, Zhang Yifan easily adapted to the environment of this deep pool and began to explore calmly.

After exploring, Zhang Yifan found nothing, there was nothing in this deep pool, there were no living creatures, only cold. So Zhang Yifan began to look above the deep pool, he wanted to see what the situation was above. After all, he had been in this deep pool for more than three months, and those sects should have taken action a long time ago, and in this Aoki Canyon, his situation was still very dangerous, and he had to find a way to get out.

At this time, Xiao Hei became his mount, and Zhang Yifan began to swim towards the top of the deep pool. But to be on the safe side, he didn't swim very fast.

When he kept going up, Zhang Yifan knew that he had dived into a deep pool of nearly 1,000 zhang before, if it weren't for his good physical polishing, he would not have been able to hold on to such a deep water for so long, but he was a little unconscious.

Zhang Yifan's body after entering the demon has strengthened a lot on the original basis, although it has recovered now, but the strength of the physical body has retained most of it, and it has become very strong. Moreover, the body that has been tempered by intense fire poison has been more or less strengthened, so that Zhang Yifan's current physical body has truly reached an amazing level, and it is as easy as walking on the ground in deep water.

Zhang Yifan felt his current strength, and he actually reached the power of the six elephants, which was two elephants higher than before, and he was also surprised by the high level of improvement, and at the same time he was also worried. The stronger the physical body becomes, the more difficult it is to suppress it after entering the demon, and when the time comes, it will really become the body of the demon body, and the consequences are unimaginable.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yifan felt a little heavy. But now was not the time to think about it, he straightened his mind and began to continue to probe upward.

When he was about to get close to the surface of the water, Zhang Yifan's powerful divine sense could already penetrate the surface of the water and began to detect some situations near the deep pool.

He found that at this time, there were two rather mysterious formations above the deep pool, one attacking and one defending, and the entire deep pool was tightly surrounded. The two formations were guarded by eight monks, two of whom were chatting, while others were meditating with their eyes closed, while others were listening intently to the conversation.

Zhang Yifan sensed the breath of these people slightly, and found that they were all monks in the foundation building period, two of them had cultivation in the late foundation building period, one was meditating with his eyes closed, with a solemn expression, and the other was one of the chatting monks.

"Senior brother, the junior brother just came here, you can tell me about the incident that happened in the Aoki Canyon three months ago, the junior brother really doesn't know much. ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, since Senior Brother Feng wants to know, then let's talk about it for my brother, this matter must not be spread outside, otherwise your Senior Brother Feng of the Xuanhuo Sect will not look good. ”

"Junior brother cares about it, Senior Brother Feng was implicated this time because of the incident in Aoki Canyon, and was punished by the elders of the sect to guard a spirit stone mine for a hundred years, and this path to cultivating immortals is broken. Hmph, if it weren't for the aggressiveness of the Spirit Exorcism, Senior Brother Feng would have ended up like this? Then Liu Fei's death was not caused by Senior Brother Feng, but was killed by the Flame Pattern Python, which the other monks present had all seen. ”

"Senior Brother Feng, you don't know, in fact, Liu Fei is just one of the main reasons, and the other reason is that it seems that Wang Tianmu of the Spirit Exorcism Valley seems to have been harmed by the monk who is suspected of leaving the Fire Sect, and the green wooden card in his hand is Wang Tianmu's defense treasure Qinggang Wood Post. The monk began to speak slowly.

"That Wang Tianmu is one of the most talented disciples in the Spirit Exorcism Valley, and he is also from the Wang family, one of the three major immortal cultivation families in the Spirit Exorcism Valley. This incident caused a monstrous wave, and it is said that the Spirit Exorcism Valley dispatched three Jindan stage elders to thoroughly investigate the matter, led by an uncle of the Wang family's mid-Jindan period. It is said that he is very optimistic about Wang Tianmu and loves him. Wang Tianmu fell near Aoki City, and Liu Fei was a core disciple of the Liu family, one of the other three major immortal cultivation families, so he fell in the Aoki Canyon. The Exorcism Valley wants my three sects to give an explanation, otherwise I will bear the consequences, in fact, this also has the meaning of beating my three sects. For this reason, Senior Uncle Li Yuanji is said to have paid 50,000 spirit stones, while Senior Brother Feng was punished for guarding the spirit stone mine, and he paid a great price. ”

"That Spirit Exorcism Valley is too bullying, as the strength of my three sects is no longer below them, why should I be so angry? If you want me to see it, directly break away from the attachment of the Spirit Exorcism Valley, and occupy this Lingnan Prefecture, the six major factions of the Chu State should have a place for my three sects!"

"Senior Brother Feng, you really dare to say it, be careful that the wall has ears. Although all of you are here are my three sect monks, if your words reach the ears of the elders, it will inevitably be another reprimand, be cautious, this is an extraordinary time. Seeing this, the monk surnamed Hu hurriedly dissuaded.

"Thank you for mentioning it, junior brother knows. The monk surnamed Feng also reacted, looked around, and found nothing abnormal, and felt a little relieved.

"As for the incident three months ago, it is still confusing, and there are still many unknowns, so tell me something I know. Nearly a hundred monks died in that incident, most of them were disciples of my three sects, along with genius disciples such as Lin Sixian's junior disciples, and the strength of my three sects was really lost. The flame-streaked python and the group of three-colored clams in Poison Wood Ridge were also sucked dry, and their deaths were really miserable. And the monk who was suspected of leaving the Fire Sect disappeared, no one alive, no corpse dead. ”

"This is too weird, does Senior Brother Hu know what can cause such a situation?"

"I don't know, the elders of the sect guess that only the rumored blood-devouring beads, vampire magic swords and other evil magic weapons will have such an effect, but these magic weapons will generally have a vision of heaven and earth and a special aura when they are born, but they have not found it. ”

"In addition, some evil cultivators who practice evil demon exercises will also have those who absorb essence blood to cultivate. But to be able to kill so many three-colored clams in such a short period of time, that evil cultivation is definitely not the foundation building period, but the monks of the Jindan stage can't be in this Aoki Canyon, this is an iron law for thousands of years. ”

"But if you want to say that it was done by demon beasts, but Senior Brother Lin's storage bags have all disappeared, how can ordinary demon beasts use monks' storage bags, unless they are demon beasts above level ten that have turned into human form and have truly channeled their wisdom. But if it is really a demon beast above level ten, no monk in this canyon will be able to survive, and even the strongholds outside will be uprooted. So this thing is really weird, and people can't figure it out. ”

"However, there is a theory that it is possible that it is suspected that the monk from the Fire Sect is responsible, and there should be a magic weapon in his hand that has not yet truly awakened, and the condition for awakening may be to absorb the essence blood of all spirits. However, this is only a guess, if there is a magic weapon in his hand, he would have been transformed into a demon head a long time ago, and according to the monk who fought with that guy, he showed no signs of entering the demon at all. ”

"All of the above are speculated by Uncle Zhao, who is known as wise in this sect, and he is not very sure of the old man. Everything will need to wait until the suspected monk of the Fire Sect is found, after all, all these things are related to it. After the monk finished speaking, he looked at the deep pool and sighed.

"Senior Brother Hu, that Fire Sect monk is really in this deep pool. ”

"Not necessarily, it's just a possibility, and it's getting less likely. When this deep pool was first discovered by Senior Brother Feng and the others, it was filled with fire and poison. Gradually, about half a month passed, those poisonous gases disappeared, and the monks of the three sects who practiced the fire attribute exercises carried the treasure of fire to search this deep pool, and at most they went down to a depth of five hundred zhang but found nothing, and further down, there was a risk of falling. Later, the monk from the Spirit Exorcism Valley also came, and he used a water attribute spirit beast to go down to a depth of eight hundred zhang, but he found nothing, and finally gave up. I'm waiting here to guard the town and show it to the Spirit Exorcism Valley, thinking that the monk who seems to be from the Fire Sect is not in this deep pool. ”

"And what about the rest of the Aoki Canyon, didn't you find that guy either?"

"No, except for the forbidden place for demon beasts located in the deepest part of the Aoki Canyon, all the rest, and even a few dangerous places, we searched all over with the monk of the Spirit Exorcism Valley, but we didn't find any trace of that guy. For this reason, the three sects have also closed the Aoki Canyon, except for specific monks, no monks are allowed to enter, and for this reason, those scattered cultivators are very dissatisfied, and it won't last long. ”

"Well, I heard from Senior Brother Zongnai that the Aoki Canyon will be closed for three months, and if nothing is found, the Aoki Canyon will no longer be closed. ”

"Hehe, the junior brother only knows one thing, but I don't know the other, this is actually Uncle Zhao's strategy, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, when the time comes, secretly observe those suspicious monks, and when the other party relaxes, some flaws may be revealed. “

"I see, Uncle Zhao is worthy of wisdom. ”

"Hey, if this matter is not resolved, I will lose face for the three sects and the Exorcism Valley. This matter has been spread throughout the Chu Kingdom, and even the Jiuhe Zhenren who lived in seclusion in Aoki City came to take a look more than two months ago. You must know that it is a master of the late Jindan Dynasty, and he is also a well-known existence in the entire Chu State Immortal Cultivation Realm. ”

"Even the real people of Jiuhe were alarmed, why did he come to the old man's house?"

"I don't know, it's said that I'm very interested in the monk who is suspected of leaving the Fire Sect. However, Jiuhe's senior didn't get any useful news, and he only stayed for less than two days before leaving, saying that if he found the monk, let him take a look. ”

"Senior Brother Hu, since that monk is suspected of being a monk from the Fire Sect, there is no action on the side of the Spirit Exorcism Valley? This Spirit Exorcism Valley and the Fire Sect have been fighting so hard all these years, how can they not get their face back if something like this happened this time. ”

"Why not, this time because of the fall of Wang Tianmu, the high-level officials of the Spirit Exorcism Valley were furious, and vowed to find out the real culprit. And the disciples of my three sects also fell because of that guy, so the Spirit Exorcism Valley, together with my three sects, sent people to leave the Fire Sect Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but they returned with a feather and did not get any benefits, but made a little disgraced. ”

"Why is that? Could it be that the strength of the Fire Sect is so strong?"

"This is only one aspect, the main reason is that there is no evidence, just because that guy has a spirit beast that is suspected to be the black demon beast, it is impossible to confirm that it is a monk of the Fire Sect, and that guy's spirit beast is not the same as the unique black beast in the secret realm of the Fire Sect after description, so we can't stand it. In the end, he was forced to apologize, and there was a lot of blood. Speaking of this, the monk's face was also a little unpleasant.

"Why hasn't my little brother heard about this?"

"Senior brother, you have just advanced to the foundation building period, and this matter is not a good thing, so naturally it has not spread. Your brother and I are friends of life and death, but it is okay to talk to you at this time. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother. ”

After that, the two talked about some other things, Zhang Yifan didn't continue when he heard this, it turned out that so many things had happened in the past three months, and he was almost robbed by the Fire Sect, he felt a little sorry in his heart.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Zhang Yifan began to think about how to get out of here. It is definitely not possible to break through, with the protection of two large arrays and these eight foundation building period monks, although Zhang Yifan's strength is no longer the same as before, he is not sure that he will not leak a little rumor. Once he is exposed, there will be no place for him in this Aoki Canyon.

This matter needs to be considered in the long term.

Since it is no longer possible to walk above this deep pool, Zhang Yifan decided to explore the bottom of this deep pool first, maybe there will be some gains. Even if he didn't, he decided that it would be a big deal to cultivate in this deep pool for a while, and after the people above had withdrawn, he would go out of the valley again.

With Xiao Hei's help, Zhang Yifan explored down in this deep pool relatively easily.

Five hundred zhang, one thousand zhang, when Zhang Yifan came to one thousand five hundred zhang, Xiao Hei's black flame could no longer resist the strange cold in the deep pool. Just as Zhang Yifan was helplessly preparing to return, Xiao Hei stimulated a golden flame at this time, so that the black flame stabilized, and Zhang Yifan continued to probe down when he saw this.

Finally, after about 2,000 zhang on the ground, Zhang Yifan reached the bottom of the deep pool. Here Zhang Yifan found a passage, not just where it leads. He continued to explore along the passage at the bottom of the pool.

Along the way, Zhang Yifan found some extremely pure cryolite, which is a refining material, which can refine some magic weapons or treasure boxes with cold attributes, which is not rare. However, these cryolites have been completely transformed into ice crystals after years of strange cold invasion under the deep pool, which is very rare, and can be used as auxiliary materials for refining some ice attribute magic weapons.

There are a lot of ice crystals in the passage, and Zhang Yifan went all the way down and collected an exaggerated amount, which was also a lot of money when exchanged for spirit stones. This allowed Zhang Yifan to have some fun in finding treasures in the dark, quiet and cold passage, and it was not too depressing.
