Chapter 44: Bad Feelings
Yi Chen soon came to the place where the three forces were located, that is, the two forces were arranged here, responsible for guarding the station.
Nearly hundreds of people had gathered here, and after seeing them appear, they all raised their weapons in their hands, their expressions were nervous but quite cautious, and the aura emanating from their bodies was also different from that of ordinary cultivators, full of aggression, and it seemed that they would attack if they didn't agree with each other.
Most of them still belong to the two forces, and there are less than forty cultivators who have rushed here from Starfall City, but the aura on each of them is fluctuating, and they are all taking advantage of this rare rest time to recover.
Seeing this, Yi Chen also looked for a good place, pretending to be pranayama to recover and sit down cross-legged, only the eyes hidden under the cloak swept in all directions, and once again probed the surrounding environment, but when he inadvertently glanced at the guards in the distance, a feeling that something was wrong rose in his heart for no reason.
Qingyan Tower and the Invisible Gate have set up a large number of guards on the left and right sides of the edge of the giant pit entrance, and the rest of the place has been completely sealed, leaving only the road in front of you that can lead to the bottom of the cave entrance.
Although he could feel that there were not many strong men in charge of guarding, he knew that the guards were very strict as he could see, and the various arrangements were extremely hidden, and there was no sign at all just by observing.
What's more important to mention is that the vigilance of these guards is so high, when Yi Chen and the others only appeared on the mountain range, they have been discovered from such a long distance and reacted quickly.
Of course, there must have been orders for this, but even so, it is enough to show the importance of this place to the two forces.
However, what made Yi Chen feel wrong was not the strict guards, but under his secret observation, he suddenly noticed that the aura on some of the guards was obviously disordered, and a few of them had injuries that had just been treated.
Although they hid it well, they did not escape him, who knew enough about this place, and his heart suddenly became uncertain, and along with his previous discoveries, he always felt a lingering shadow.
This feeling came very suddenly, and there was no reason for it, the only thing that could explain it was that as a powerhouse of the Turbidity Pill Realm, he had an intuition about danger, which made him realize that these changes were not a good thing.
That being said, he had already begun to get closer to the most important step in his plan, which would open the door with just one kick, and he would be able to get what he wanted and get rid of the difficulties he would face in his spiritual practice.
After retracting his gaze, he shook his head suddenly, hiding these feelings in his heart, reminding himself to be cautious at all times, and then his eyes fell on a familiar back in Qingyan Tower.
......
Lin Hai and the others have already come here, after all, the two of them are powerhouses in the realm of Jade Pill, and the true yuan in their bodies far surpasses them, and they are more refined than them, unless they do not hesitate to run with all their might, even if they run for several days in a row, the true yuan in their bodies will not consume too much.
The reason why they are staying here now is only to wait quietly, so that the people who enter this time can be ready.
Except for this point, which can make them care, the others are not in their consideration, even if it is a dozen powerhouses of the Turbidity Pill Realm behind them, in their opinion, they are just a group of rabble, and they don't need to take it to heart at all.
At this time, Liu Hong was already standing at the edge of the cave entrance, and the hot gas erupting from the ground did not bring him any damage, and he only needed to drum up a little true qi in his body to completely block it from a meter away from his body.
It's just that when his gaze fell to his feet, a trace of gloom flashed between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but murmur: "I didn't expect this place to become like this, it seems that the range of activity of those things has not been out of it for a long time."
The hole beneath his feet was so deep that any ray of light would suddenly disappear when it hit a distance of hundreds of meters, as if there was an invisible wall that could absorb light across the entire inside.
The entrance to the cave is not beneath Starfall City, and is surrounded by almost vertical red rock walls, as if they have been scorched by extremely high temperatures, and look very loose.
There are no protrusions to climb onto, no platforms to move onto, just two purpose-carved three-metre trails that wind their way down the rock face to the deepest part of the ground.
Wisps of white smoke composed entirely of hot gas erupted from the rock wall, containing a power that was difficult for an acquired cultivator to bear, even an ordinary early innate cultivator would need to activate his True Qi shield to resist it when facing it.
These large quantities of white smoke collide and blend with each other, and finally form this incomparably hot smoke in front of you, which drifts into the sky and brings gray dust to the sky.
Liu Hong's gaze had already gone hundreds of meters underground, but at this moment, he suddenly found that his vision gradually began to distort, and the scene in his eyes began to become blurred.
A hint of surprise appeared on his face, Liu Hong couldn't help but retract his gaze, and instead released his perception and began to look intently.
Only then did he realize that what appeared in his perception was a wall of qi that was completely composed of bursts of extremely high heat waves blending together, and the distance of ten meters deep in his perception could not be completely broken, which was enough to completely block the perception of the cultivators of the Jade Pill Realm.
Moreover, this wall of hot air is very peculiar, not only can greatly reduce the practitioner's perception, but also bring people a real sense of spiritual pain when the practitioner's perception touches.
It's just that what makes Liu Hong dignified is not these, but a series of dense battle traces left on the two three-meter paths at a height of about 100 meters under his feet, which is almost the same height as the qi wall.
These battle marks are extremely chaotic, but they are extremely clear, not only knife marks, gun holes, sword marks and other weapons, but also traces left by sharp claws and fists, which are extremely numerous.
Liu Hong is not only responsible for the daily management of the inside of Qingyan Tower like Lin Hai, he is one of the deputy masters of the invisible door, and the door master Wu Xing trusts him, so he knows all the situations in the entire invisible door clearly.
Especially about everything about this place, and the many changes that have taken place here over the past year, he knows everything about it.
This place was guarded by two forces, and anyone who dared to approach this place would be mercilessly killed by the two Qing Dan realm powerhouses except for their manpower.
Even if you want to sneak in, it will be difficult to avoid the many traps laid here.
Therefore, the traces of the battle that appeared on the trail must not have been left by the battle between the two sides, not to mention that judging from the slight breath on these traces that had not completely dissipated, it was obviously a trace that appeared recently, and it was more likely that it was left before they came, that is, last night.
"These things are becoming more and more rampant, but I have to say that this is only a year, and they can break through here with their strength, this kind of improvement is really terrifying."
Lin Hai had already arranged for the cultivators of Qingyan Tower, and at this time, he was also standing at the edge of the cave entrance, naturally noticing these traces of battle, and couldn't help but be amazed.
"If it's not to solve this matter, why would we open up this place and let these people in?", Liu Hong replied indifferently, without any expression on his face, nor with a trace of emotion.
Lin Hai naturally knew what Liu Hong meant, and they had already learned that their respective door owners and landlords had reached a consensus, and they could somewhat guess the plans of the two.
After all, what was in front of them was a very dangerous matter, and if they couldn't successfully stop it, not only would the acquisition of Diyan liquid become a problem in the future, but it was still unknown whether they could hold this place.
So at the moment, even if the two don't like each other, they won't start a fight because of this, and they won't fight before they reach the last opportunity, giving others a chance.
Lin Hai smiled indifferently, not caring about Liu Hong's tone at all, but said confidently: "You are right, although most of these people's realms only have the innate realm, and there are only less than fifteen people in the realm of turbidity pills, their strength is still okay, and they should be able to get rid of a lot."
Glancing at the loose cultivators who were pranayama and meditating outside, a trace of cruelty appeared on Lin Hai's face.
Liu Hong did the same, but there was still a hint of caution between his eyebrows, and his gaze swept over the thirteen powerhouses of the Turbidity Pill Realm one by one, and he deliberately paused for a few seconds on several of them during the process.
"Your words are not wrong, it's just that these people are not easy to get along with, and no matter how bad their strength is, they are not an idiot who cultivates them."
As soon as these words fell, Liu Hong glanced at the other loose cultivators who appeared one after another behind him, and then said playfully: "In the end, they are just a group of playthings played with by desire, and if we want to really use them to break this situation for us, we have to see if the things that the rumor says really attract them, or..."
When Liu Hong's gaze swept over, Yi Chen, who was meditating in pranayama, couldn't help but be shocked, but fortunately, his face was covered by a cloak, and Liu Hong had no other thoughts.
It's just that this glance made Yi Chen's heart feel a bad feeling, so in the next meditation and pranayama, he couldn't help but move his position, and his heart became more vigilant.
"The move of the Blood Knife Gate is really unexpected, I can actually make up such a rumor to incite others, if I am not a person from Qingyanlou, I am afraid that I will also fall into it", in a deep voice, Lin Hai looked at him with a little deep meaning as if in response to Liu Hong's words, and then with imperceptible disdain at the corner of his mouth, his body slowly walked towards the group of scattered cultivators who were pranayama.
From Lin Hai's bright eyes, Liu Hong was stunned at first, but he quickly realized Lin Hai's next intention from inside, and also understood that his thoughts coincided with Lin Hai, smiled slightly, and his figure appeared beside Lin Hai in a flash.
"It's just that they didn't expect that we need some strong combat power at the same time, and not only will it not be difficult for us to do so, but we can also use them to take advantage of it."
