Chapter 13: Change
The group of six people traveled overnight, and finally reached the mountain range that the man had entered at dusk on the seventh day.
The six of them stood in one place, looking up at the vast mountains in front of them.
Song Du, who was clasping his hands around his chest, asked with his eyes narrowed slightly: "Sect Brother, you are the leader this time, what do you say we should do next?"
Zong Zhi, whose face was still as pale as paper, frowned slightly, revealing a pensive look. After a moment, he spoke, "This mountain range stretches for three hundred miles, and it is very vast. If the six of them act together, I am afraid that it will delay a lot of time. ”
"What does the sect brother mean?" asked the cross-meat man, who rarely spoke, with a raised brow.
"We work in pairs. Zong and Ling Daoyou, Song Daoyou and you, the remaining two are a group. The three of us searched separately, which not only saved time and energy, but also took care of each other. In addition, if a group of people encounters a situation, they will use the sound transmission jade note to contact the others. As soon as Zong Zhi finished speaking, he took out two jade talismans from the acceptance ring and handed them to Song Du and Lin Yan.
Song Du smiled and put away the jade talisman. Lin Yan took the jade talisman with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Zong Zhi stood with his hands in his hands, and his eyes swept over the five people present: "Since you have no other suggestions, then I will take a short rest and immediately rush to the mountain." ”。
Immediately, the six of them sat down cross-legged and began to breathe.
The darkness of night slowly descended on this mountain range, and in this dark night, the vast mountains not far away were like giant beasts lurking under the curtain of night, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
"Let's get moving. Zong Zhi was the first to open his eyes, looked at Ling Shuang beside him, and flew towards the mountain range in front of him. Ling Shuang immediately got up and said to the other four people who opened their eyes, "The concubine body is one step ahead." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Shuang turned into a long rainbow and followed.
Song Du didn't look at Lin Yan and Zhang Qing, and shouted to the cross-meat man beside him, "Let's go." ”
In the blink of an eye, only Lin Yan and the others were left.
"Fellow Daoist, what should we do next?" At this moment, Zhang Qing seemed to regard Lin Yan as the backbone, and couldn't help but ask Lin Yan's opinion.
"Those four are already in, and we certainly can't delay here. Lin Yan's face was calm, looking at the two directions where the four people had left, and replied.
"I naturally understand this, but I am a little worried about it......," Zhang Qing said here, and suddenly stopped.
Lin Yan retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang Qing beside him, faintly guessing his worry.
"Are you worried that those four people might secretly stumble on the two of us?"
Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Zong Zhi is a well-known person in the sect, and Daoist friends must have made him resentful before. I'm afraid that when the time comes, you and I will really encounter a situation, and the sound transmission jade talisman may not be useful. ”
"If you think too much, we may not meet the situation you are talking about. Lin Yan said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Qing glanced at Lin Yan, sighed and said, "I hope it is as Daoyou said." ”
"Let's go. Lin Yan said. The two then flew in the other direction where the four had left.
............
"Fellow Daoist, we have been in the mountain range for three days, and we have almost searched around here, and we can find no trace of that person at all. A middle-aged man looked at the young man beside him and whispered.
"We found no traces, and there was no news from the other two groups. Did you say the man had already crossed the mountains and entered the ...... Zhao Guo. The middle-aged man said with a slight frown.
The young man shook his head and said, "This Lin doesn't know either, besides, we still have some places that have not been searched, and there may be some discoveries there." ”
Although the young man said this, in fact, he already agreed with the man's opinion in his heart. The two of them came in for three days, during which they didn't find anything except for some low-level demon beasts.
These two people are Lin Yan and Zhang Qing, who entered before.
"Let's go. After saying that, the two of them flashed and quickly left here.
A day later. The two of them finally searched this part of the mountain range, but still found nothing. At the same time, the other two groups did not send the slightest message.
"Fellow Daoist, can we go out next?" Zhang Qing has been worried for the past few days, for fear of meeting that person. It's not that he doesn't trust Lin Yan's strength, but that person is really weird, and all the people sent before have not been heard from. Lin Yan may not be able to take care of himself comprehensively.
Not finding any situation can be said to be Zhang Qing's most desired result, and the heart that has been hanging for days can finally fall.
Lin Yan looked at Zhang Qing, who was full of relief, and said, "In that case, let's go outside the mountain and wait for those four people first." ”
"That's very good!" Zhang Qing shouted with a flash of joy in his eyes when he heard this.
After that, the two of them had no intention of staying, and immediately flew out of the mountains and forests, turning into two long rainbows and flying towards the outside of the mountain range.
The two flew for about half a pillar of incense. Lin Yan, who was flying in the forefront, suddenly stunted, and his face changed slightly.
"Daoyou, what's wrong?" Zhang Qing behind him, seeing Lin Yan who suddenly stopped, felt a sense of unease in his heart, as if something bad had happened.
Lin Yan didn't open his mouth to explain, and took out a sound transmission jade talisman with his backhand. This jade talisman was handed over by Zong Zhi before.
However, at this time, the jade talisman was flickering violently.
Seeing this, Zhang Qing's face changed suddenly, and he didn't expect that he still didn't avoid it in the end.
Lin Yan glanced at Zhang Qing, and then pinched his right hand. The light on the jade talisman suddenly stopped flickering. A feminine female voice came out from inside: "Fellow Daoist, the situation is urgent. Come on!"
The voice clearly revealed a strong sense of unease and trepidation.
Lin Yan frowned, he didn't understand that they were afraid that they had met that person-Zhang Shan!
"Where are you and what is the specific situation?" Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and said.
"We were in the south-west of the mountains, and the four of us were ambushed...... Ahh
After a miserable scream came from the jade talisman, it became gray.
A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and the divine consciousness in the sea of consciousness suddenly escaped towards the surroundings.
Zhang Qing behind him felt the strength of this divine consciousness, his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Yan, and secretly said in his heart that this person obviously only had cultivation in the early stage of enlightenment, but the strength of this divine consciousness was comparable to that of the late stage of enlightenment!
After a moment, Lin Yan's divine sense vaguely sensed a slight fluctuation of aura in the distance, and if it weren't for Ling Shuang before, he might not have been able to detect it at all.
"Daoyou, how is it?" Before that, Zhang Qing also heard it very clearly, Zong Zhi and the four of them were ambushed and fell into a crisis.
"There was a slight aura fluctuation in the first ten miles. The four of them should still be in front!" After Lin Yan finished speaking, his expression became extremely ugly, Ling Shuang said that they had been ambushed, could it be that there was still some unknown force hidden in this mountain range?
"What does that Daoyou mean......" Zhang Qing seemed to feel that his whole heart was in his throat, for fear that the other party would say what he didn't want to hear.
"Naturally, we have to go. Lin Yan glanced at Zhang Qing, not understanding his thoughts.
Zhang Qing's face changed suddenly, but he didn't dare to say more.
"Zhang Daoyou, don't forget that this is a mission sent by the sect. If we don't go at this moment, if one of those four people returns to Xuanlei Sect alive, I am afraid that you and I will have to flee to Zhao State. ”
Zhang Qing sighed, knowing very well in his heart that what Lin Yan said was the truth. Not enough, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, and asked in his heart: "Aren't you curious about why the four of them are together?"
"Hmph!" Lin Yan snorted coldly, and said in an indifferent tone: "Why are they together, what does it have to do with me!"
"Let's go, don't waste time. Lin Yan's eyes closed and opened, and he suddenly turned into a long rainbow and flew into the distance.
Zhang Qing shook his head helplessly, and he also followed.
............
A hundred miles away from Lin Yan, a group of men in black robes were fighting with three men and one woman.
And around them were several bodies that were already cold.
The four people who were fighting with the man in black were the four Zongzhi who came with Lin Yan before. However, at this time, the aura revealed on the four of them was a little weak, and each of them had different degrees of scars on their bodies.
Not far from their group, a white-haired old man in a gray robe stood with his hands in his hands.
The old man's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a cold aura that no one should enter.
"Why waste your energy, your fate is already doomed, it's better to surrender obediently, and we can give you a good time. At this moment, among the men in black, a man with a slightly chubby face said with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Hmph!" Zong Zhi snorted coldly, and said with a ruthless expression on his pale face: "Zhang Shan, put away your nonsense." Even if the four of us are doomed, at least a few cushions will have to be pulled. ”
Among this group of black-clothed people, except for Zhang Shan and the other two men, who were in the middle stage of enlightenment like them, the rest of the black-clothed people were all cultivators at the foundation level. Originally, with the strength of the four of them, they might not have fallen into such a predicament. But the old man who had never done it not far away was like an invisible thorn nailed to their hearts, so that they couldn't help but restrain their hands and feet, and they didn't dare to use all their strength at all.
"You!" The killing intent in Zhang Shan's eyes skyrocketed.
"What are you talking to them about, just kill them!" said a horse-faced man beside Zhang Shan.
"Okay, if you toast and don't eat and drink, then it's no wonder that Zhang Mou will pull you out of your soul. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Shan's mouth.
The faces of the four people all changed.
An obscure light flashed in Zong Zhi's eyes, and he secretly transmitted to the four of them: "Let's delay for as much time as possible, if that person is really as strong as Ling Daoyou said, maybe we can make a turnaround." ”
"The four of us are moving behind those two people's backs, do you say they are coming back?" Ling Shuang's words revealed a hint of worry.
The four of them had a way to search Zhang Shan's location, but they deliberately concealed it.
"Then this is where we will die!"
