Chapter 270: Sword Talisman
Qin Guan used his spiritual sense that had reached the early stage of incarnation to observe the entire cage place, and focused on the five Yuanying monks, indeed as Cen Mingguang and the three said, they were five Yuanying late stage monks, even if these five Yuanying monks were not the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but they were also the top figures of the middle sect under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Sect, even if Qin Guan and Cen Mingguang and the others faced these five people together, it was difficult to say whether they could cope with it, let alone have so many people across the sea.
"It's really invincible, these five people seem to be scattered all over the cage, and they are constantly patrolling, but in fact, it is clear that they have a lot of tacit understanding with each other, once we have a conflict with them, we must be the ones who will suffer!" Qin Guan shook his head, "Okay, it's better to avoid the edge for the time being and pass quietly from the bottom of the sea." ”
Cen Mingguang nodded, in fact, he thought that at Qin Guan's age, he would be a very impulsive and enthusiastic young man, but he didn't expect to be like them, old and serious. But thinking about it, if Qin Guan was the kind of person who was rash and impulsive, he would not have led so many of his subordinates to the West Sea.
Cen Mingguang said: "Then it's up to the Qin Palace Master, I don't know if you have any way to pass through the seabed safely." Although most of the monks in this cage land are wandering around the island, there is no magic circle without warnings on the bottom of the sea, and once the magic circle is touched, it is inevitable that these people on the island will have to be confronted. ”
Although Xihai is the first to pay attention to the art of the sword, and does not value the rest of the cultivation skills, it is not that no one is good at it, but it is not the mainstream. Moreover, the people of Lingyin Building are not serious sword cultivation sects, as long as it is a skill that is beneficial to their conquest of the West Sea, they will not let it go. That's why there is a magic circle on the bottom of the sea here.
But fortunately, there are formation mages of the Cultivation Union on the cross-sea shuttle, and although the cultivation is necessarily not top-notch, but in the formation realm, Helian Jun is indeed one of the top people. Not to mention, there are many second-level young formation mages who can give him a hand.
Only then did Qin Guan introduce to Cen Mingguang and the others: "The three seniors don't have to worry, there are not many other monks on our ship, but there are many array mages. ”
Cen Mingguang's eyes moved slightly, they didn't expect the Xiulian to be able to send so many array mages, which really surprised them. Nie Yijian secretly explained to them: "Three elders, although this Spirit Mountain Cultivation Alliance is not one of the top five forces in Beihai, its strength cannot be underestimated. Yuanying Monk alone, there are seven Lingshan Cultivators. Moreover, just the youngest Yuanying monk in Beihai, Qin Palace Master, could see that the level of monks in the Cultivation Federation was not bad. He also introduced the history of the Xiulian one after another, which made Cen Mingguang and the three of them even more curious about the Xiulian, they had not seen a force like the Xiulian formed by the union between the sect and the scattered cultivators, and they were not afraid of conflicts between different groups of people.
It's no wonder that the three of them are rare and strange, the Heavenly Sword Sect, a super sect that is unique in the West Sea, and there are countless contradictions between the more than 100 small and medium-sized sects under its jurisdiction. In their impression, as long as they are not people from the same sect, after being together for a long time, there will naturally be contradictions, and even if Qin Guan is impartial and selfless, he will be biased towards his own sect and deepen this contradiction. However, since the establishment of the Lingshan Cultivation Federation, there has been no shortage of such things, but they have eliminated the contradictions under the selflessness of Qingxuan's iron face, and there are five major forces overhead, and the Lingshan Cultivation Federation is not a super force in Beihai, so naturally there will be no irreconcilable contradictions at this time, and the future may not be necessarily, but presumably Qin Guan can also solve it.
When the shuttle was still hundreds of miles away from the cage island, it dived to the bottom of the sea. After traveling hundreds of miles, we came to the place directly below the island. In fact, if they go around in a circle, they will also be able to pass through this sea area, but it will take a bit more time, and a lot of time has already passed since Nie Yijian went to Beihai to ask for help, and if he wastes one more day, the Heavenly Sword Sect may be more dangerous, so Qin Guan decided to take the risk and pass through this sea area in front of him.
Helian Jun and a group of array mages wore qi amulets, and they went out of the cabin without any fluctuations, and after a private observation, they found no less than a thousand early warning arrays. Even if these circles are not too technically difficult, there are enough of them, and if the number of people is smaller, it will definitely be difficult to disarm so many circles in a short period of time. And the scope of the early warning circle is not small, and the size of the cross-sea shuttle is not small, if the cross-sea shuttle wants to pass safely without being discovered, at least one-third of the number of early warning circles must be solved.
Helian Jun sent a message to the rest of the array mages: "Don't act rashly, if you don't have the certainty of success, don't try to unlock these formations lightly, wait for me to solve them." Then the crowd scattered and went to settle the circle.
It took a full day for Helianjun and them to come out with a road, which was enough to support the cross-sea shuttle, and when they solved the magic circle, they almost triggered several of them, all of which relied on Helianjun's superb formation cultivation to save the day.
And when Qin Guan and the others passed through this sea area and saw the undersea passage mentioned by Cen Mingguang and the others, they finally breathed a sigh of relief - they finally passed safely.
The undersea passage in front of them may have been too long and no one has used it, and the door looks a little dilapidated, if it weren't for Cen Mingguang's repeated affirmation that it was indeed here, Qin Guan and the others would have thought that they had arrived at a sunken island. The entrance to the passage is hidden in a flaming red coral grove, and it is really difficult to spot without looking closely. Moreover, these surrounding coral bushes already have the effect of shielding spiritual sense, making it difficult for monks with insufficient cultivation to find out where the cave entrance is.
However, Qin Guan and the others were a little hesitant, why didn't there exist any large demon beasts on the bottom of the sea? If it was the North Sea, such a place that was naturally unfavorable to monks, there would inevitably be a lot of demon beasts living here, why was it difficult to see one in the West Sea?
Cen Mingguang explained: "The West Sea is not suitable for the survival of demon beasts, and there were still many demon cultivators in the West Sea, but since the demon war, the demon cultivators in the West Sea have withdrawn, and most of them have gone to other seas to make a living, and the rest have gone to the land of Kyushu." ”
But come to think of it, the West Sea is a world of sword cultivation, even if there are still demon beasts surviving, it is impossible to survive long under the sword of sword cultivation, it has long become a material in the hands of monks, where is there still room to survive safely.
The cross-sea shuttle sailed through the undersea passage for more than an hour, and then arrived at the exit, Cen Mingguang asked Qin Guan and the others not to go out in a hurry, or the three of them went out to explore the direction of the wind, in case there were people from the Lingyin Building lingering near the exit.
But Qin Guan shook his head and said: "The three seniors don't have to be like this, our cross-sea shuttle is not the same, but this speed is second to none in the North Sea, even if it is a monk who is perfect, it is difficult to grasp it without preparation in advance." If the three seniors go out like this, in case there is really a monk from the Lingyin Building, once there is a conflict, it will inevitably delay time, and it is still safe in the cross-sea shuttle. ”
This is also his old words, Cen Mingguang and the three of them naturally can't insist on their own opinions, they also feel that if they are entangled by the people of Lingyin Building, it is not a good thing, so they obey Qin Guan's meaning.
But fortunately, Qin Guan's speculation did not come true, and after coming out of the exit, he floated to the sea, and there was no trace of any monk within a radius of thousands of miles. This is also normal, after all, the Heavenly Sword Sect has now clearly faced Lingyin Lou, and it is at a disadvantage, so it is inevitable that it will shrink the front and reduce its own pressure, this kind of place where there will obviously be loopholes, it will naturally give up as soon as possible.
Cen Mingguang and the others also sighed, they knew that the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect must have understood that the Sword Training Valley had been broken by the people of the Lingyin Building, so they had no choice but to give up this communication channel with the outside world. If today's Sword Sect is completely wrapped in the hinterland of the West Sea by the people of Lingyin Tower, if there are no other accidents, the defeat is already a certainty.
Qin Guan naturally couldn't sense what Cen Mingguang and the others were thinking, but he understood that the current situation was very unfavorable to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and communication with the outside world had been completely lost, and it would be difficult to support it for too long relying on the output of the Heavenly Sword Sect alone. Not to mention the commercial exchanges with the other three seas, it is even more difficult to obtain cultivation resources from Kyushu. Don't look at the fact that the hinterland of the Four Seas Cultivation Realm is not far from Kyushu, but as I said before, if there is no reliable person to take the lead, Kyushu will not have a good face for the monks who come out of the Four Seas at all. Perhaps it was a natural sense of superiority, the Kyushu monks were full of contempt for the cultivation world of the four seas, thinking that the monks from the four seas were all guys who could not cultivate at home, even if it was a sword cultivation holy place like the Heavenly Sword Sect, in their eyes, it was just better, and it could not be compared with the local sword cultivation sect in Kyushu.
But the fact is actually frustrating for the overseas cultivators, even if they are in the same realm as the monks of the Kyushu Continent, their combat power level is always much worse than others, and even their age is generally older than others, so they are naturally even less confident.
Unless it is a genius like Qin Guan, he may be able to make the Kyushu monks take a look at it, and the rest even if they are Yuanying monks, they can't make the Kyushu monks pay attention to it.
Under the guidance of Cen Mingguang and others, the cross-sea shuttle drove at full speed for several days before finally seeing the spiritual land where monks existed. The spiritual land here is a small sect called Vain Ning Pavilion, and the door is full of female cultivators, and male monks are not accepted at all. Originally, among the monks, the number of female cultivators was significantly less than that of male cultivators, and the scale of this sect has always been maintained at a stable number, and it is easy not to recruit new disciples, so the scale has always been a small sect.
As the elders of the Sword Training Valley, Cen Mingguang and the others naturally knew this small sect very well, and the founding patriarch of this small sect was still from the Heavenly Sword Sect, so they naturally supported the Heavenly Sword Sect quite a lot.
As soon as he appeared in the line of sight of the Vain Ning Pavilion, Qin Guan could see that a figure appeared in the mountain protection array, and after just watching for a moment, the mountain protection array of the Vain Ning Pavilion turned on the mode of welcoming the enemy.
A heroic female sword cultivator stepped on the flying sword, appeared at the top of the mountain protection array, and shouted to Qin Guan: "Who is here?" Although there was not too much tension in the words, the heroic spirit could not be concealed.
When Nie Yijian saw this person's appearance, he immediately flew out of the cabin and shouted, "Senior Sister Min!
Senior Sister Min stared at it, she was indeed an inner disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect in her impression, but she didn't dare to open the big array and let Nie Yijian and them in. In the past few years of fighting with Lingyin Tower, if she hadn't been alert, the infiltrated disciples under her door would have been pulled out by her a long time ago, and her Vain Ning Pavilion would have long since ceased to exist. Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Sect has clearly not come to the letter these days to say that it is going to send someone here, so she does not dare to take this risk.
"Senior Brother Nie, why are you here? The Heavenly Sword Sect didn't send me a message saying that they would send someone here. I hope that the junior brother will not mind, senior sister, I don't dare to let the junior brother in easily. Senior Sister Min said calmly.
Nie Yijian was stunned for a moment, and he came to his senses, he and the others appeared here rashly, in case it was really a person from Lingyin Tower, and wanted to win the mountain protection array of the Vain Ning Pavilion, he would naturally be suspected by Senior Sister Min.
The people on the ship nodded one after another, no wonder this small sect was able to stand, the alertness of the head of the sect alone was enough to ensure that they would not be easily attacked by external enemies.
Nie Yijian replied: "Senior Sister Min, don't get me wrong, I just came back from Beihai, and this trip is to go to Beihai for help, since Senior Sister Min still wants to protect her disciples, and it is inconvenient for Senior Brother to disturb her, so I will go back to Shimen to resume my life." Say goodbye. ”
He didn't procrastinate at all, exchanged words of appreciation with Senior Sister Min, and returned to the boat. The sword cultivation in the West Sea is like this, maybe it is because they have been practicing the art of the sword for a long time, and the monks all have a chivalrous spirit that is rare in other places, and they go straight to each other, and they will not worry about each other.
Nie Yijian smiled bitterly at Qin Guan and said, "Palace Master Qin, it seems that we still have to go back to the Heavenly Sword Sect directly." ”
Qin Guan nodded indifferently, but said to Cen Mingguang and the others: "Three seniors, even if we reach the Heavenly Sword Sect, how can we win the trust of the Heavenly Sword Sect? What if the Sword Sect is the same as this small sect and doesn't let us in?"
Cen Mingguang, Cen Mingyu, and Cen Mingzhou glanced at each other, and they could clearly see the helplessness in each other's eyes. This matter is really difficult to do, in peacetime, with the guarantee of the three of them alone, it is not a big deal for Qin Guan to pass through the entire West Sea. But at this time, the three of them are indeed the generals of the defeated army, as Qin Guan said, and it is difficult to gain the trust of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
However, Nie Yijian said: "You don't have to worry, the juniors have the sword talisman given by the first seat of the sword refining pool, and it is still easy to win the trust of others." ”
"Sword Talisman?!" Cen Mingguang and the three of them exclaimed, they didn't expect that the first seat of the Sword Refining Pool actually gave this kind of thing to Nie Yijian, it seems that Nie Yijian attaches a lot of importance to it.
