Chapter 321: Avalanche Canyon
The surrounding haze is thick like a pillar, like a wave rolling uncertainly.
Even with Zhang Yan's extremely strong body, he felt a slight squeeze and tightness.
At the same time, a coercion with an old aura slowly fell, and a trace of pain came from the divine sense.
Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a few breaths, and then gradually subsided.
It's just that the divine consciousness is greatly limited inside, and can only detect the situation within two miles.
And in the thick haze and fog, Zhang Yan also sensed that under the old breath, there was a majestic killing intent looming.
It's just that the killing intent doesn't seem to be aimed at them, but it hasn't been affected.
Zhang Yan, who had been following everyone forward and did not speak quietly, suddenly thought of something, turned his head suspiciously, and asked Cang Jiuyan: "Senior Cang, outside the haze and fog just now, you can still see other people sporadically, why are we the only ones entering the haze here now, and they don't seem to be taking the same route with us?"
Zhang Yan's words were not big or small, but where could they escape the ears of Wei Nan and the others, everyone couldn't help but show surprise on their faces, and then looked at them with strange faces, their eyes surprised.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw everyone's expressions, and wondered if he had asked something wrong.
However, at this time, Cang Jiuyan spoke at the right time, and explained with a wry smile: "It's the old man's negligence, Zhang Xian's nephew has just entered my Shangguan family, and he doesn't know much about many situations in my family, so he asked this question." ”
Cang Jiuyan explained a little to the other three families, and then turned his head to Zhang Yan and said: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, now this haze has appeared, stretching for hundreds of miles, the situation is unknown, it can be described as dangerous, the place where our virtuous nephew walked is the area of the Black Mountain Range, where our Shangguan family and Fang, Wei, Wu and other three common industries are located, and the minerals, elixirs and other things to be collected on weekdays are mined in this area, and our families have also opened a business road since then." To put it bluntly, this is the territory of our families, and it is naturally safer to go from here, and others will naturally not follow us forward. ”
Black Mountain Range?
Zhang Yan heard Cang Jiuyan say this, and he also understood why all the way over, all the people who appeared from the Wind City separated one after another, and did not follow, it turned out that several of them did not take the main road, but walked on another road.
"Although this Black Mountain Range belongs to the territory of several of our families, it is steep and steep, and the depths are rampant with monsters, which is extremely dangerous. However, the demon beasts above level 7 are generally dormant in the depths, and rarely appear to fall outside, as long as you are careful one or two, you can quickly pass this black mountain. ”
Cang Jiuyan glanced back at a few people, as if he was explaining to everyone, and as if he was specifically explaining to Zhang Yan.
The old woman of the Wu family enshrined the old man with the two yin eyes of the Fang family, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
However, Du Xinghai, the worship of the Wei family, saw Cang Jiuyan's actions, and glanced at Zhang Yan with surprised eyes again, and seemed to think of something in the end, and said in surprise: "Cang Daoyou, this newly emerging son of your Shangguan family is only at the fifteenth level of the Qi refining period, but it seems that the coercion in this haze has not affected him at all, is it also possible that he has condensed his divine sense?"
Cang Jiuyan pursed his lips secretly, and snorted coldly for a while: "Oh, Du Daoyou observed so carefully, but my old man didn't understand Zhang Xian's nephew's ability, but being able to condense his divine sense during the Qi refining period was already comparable to many geniuses in the Northern Regions, otherwise how could the ancestor so cautiously order him to participate in this Frost Mountain Competition?"
"Sure enough, although the talent is not very good, but this alone is incomparable to many genius disciples......
Du Xinghai's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhang Yan meaningfully, nodded and said.
The words of the two naturally fell into the ears of Wei Nan and the others, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Zhang Que, and Wei Nan, who originally didn't look at Zhang Que at all, couldn't help but take a second look.
"It's really amazing that even those geniuses in the Blue City have condensed their divine consciousness during the Qi refining period, but it's a pity that your current cultivation seems to be a bit unsatisfactory......"
Wu Yushan also seemed to be interested in Zhang Yan, blinking the strange big eyes of the two elves, and said with a grin.
"It's just a fluke down there......"
Zhang Yan was uncomfortable by the crowd, so he could only return with a wry smile.
And the others secretly pouted, if these people here knew that Shangguan Tianshan had condensed their divine consciousness in the fifth layer of the Qi refining period, they would see what kind of expressions they would have.
Regarding Zhang Yan's words, everyone's faces showed noncommittality, and they did not dwell too much on this matter, and continued to move forward cautiously.
However, Wu Yushan, who had been pestering Wei Nan and laughing non-stop, fell on Zhang Yan from time to time along the way.
The thin and black boy in front of him, who had been silent and hurried away, began to make Wu Yushan feel a sense of mystery, and there was a faint look that he couldn't see through.
Wu Yushan's actions naturally fell into Wei Nan's eyes, and she couldn't help laughing in a low voice: "Sister Yushan, you won't have a good impression of that guy, why did you start paying attention to others like this?"
"Sister Wei Nan, where did you go, I feel that he has a sense of mystery on his body, which makes people look a little impenetrable...... Anyway, it feels weird. ”
Wu Yushan tilted her head slightly, and said with her eyebrows furrowed.
Hearing this, Wei Nan glanced at Zhang Yan again, and then chuckled and said: "He is just a cultivator in the Qi refining period, even if he can condense his divine consciousness in advance, it is difficult to say anything before he fails to break through to the foundation building, Yushan, don't go astray emotionally......"
"Sister Wei Nan, where do you want to go......"
When Wu Yushan heard this, her face immediately turned red, her heart was anxious, and she stomped her feet.
"Okay, let's continue on the road, don't delay, this time the frost in the mountain is full of dangers, don't be distracted like this......"
Wei Nan shook his head and said with a chuckle.
Although Zhang Yan heard the conversation between the two women intermittently, he didn't have the heart to listen to it.
Therefore, at this moment, as everyone moved forward, after more than ten miles of road, the surroundings gradually became gloomy.
The haze and fog, which was still white, began to become thick and black, and a thicker smoke began to appear in the sky, rolling and rolling.
"This is the center of the Black Mountain Trade Road, which is shrouded in a dark aura all year round, and it is one of the most infested trade routes by demon beasts, so be careful!"
Cang Jiuyan and Du Xinghai walked in the front, and the old woman and the old man with two dark eyes walked behind a kind of junior, faintly protecting several family children in the middle.
Squeak Squeak......
As soon as Cang Jiuyan's words fell, in the thick black mist, there was a sudden sound of incomparably thin sounds, and he approached this side densely.
"It's the Black Mountain Bat!"
When Cang Jiuyan heard this dense voice, he frowned and spoke.
"Hmph, this is just a small group of dark bats, as long as it doesn't attract a large group of dark bats, there is no need to be afraid!"
Du Xinghai snorted coldly, and then with a movement of his hand, a spiritual light flickered, turning into a series of small flying swords glowing with awe-inspiring cold light, stabbing through the clouds and mist, and scattering in all directions.
Streaming down......
With the sound of dense falling, the originally dense screams in front of him fell silent.
Laugh at!
With a sound of breaking the air, a cold and shining spiritual light returned to Du Xinghai's hand like lightning, and Zhang Yan didn't see what kind of magic weapon was emitted from the other party's hand.
"Du Daoyou's Star Shadow Sword Formation is getting more and more perfect!"
When Cang Jiuyan saw Du Xinghai revealing such a song, he couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes, and said with a slight exclamation.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Cang Daoyou has an overreputation, compared to Daoyou's one-handed Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword, Du's ability is very generous, where can he get into the eyes!"
Du Xinghai laughed, his mouth was humble, but his expression was full of pride.
Hiss......
After walking for more than ten miles, there was a rustling sound full of chill in front of him, and a bloodthirsty aura surging in.
"It's a sixth-level Flying Python!"
The two-eyed old man, who had been silent, had a cold eye and said in a deep voice.
"Roaring ......"
"Whew......"
The words of the old man with gloomy eyes fell, and suddenly a terrifying roar came from all around the Black Mountain, making the fog here can't help but roll more violently.
"Hmph, these demon beasts, at this time, they are all restless, it seems that they don't have some means, and they don't know when the road will end......"
Cang Jiuyan's rickety body actually straightened up slightly at this moment, and he turned back with a cold snort: "Three Taoist friends, protect a few disciples, Cang will come when he goes!"
After speaking, Cang Jiuyan's body moved slightly, and since it flickered, it had already disappeared into the mist.
Bang!
Cang Jiuyan had barely taken a few breaths, and suddenly there was a violent loud noise in front of him, and a vast aura also came from the front, and the fiery red spiritual light between the fog seemed to be like a rainbow in the scorching sun, faintly flashing.
And a moment later, as the sound of the tremor gradually decreased, the beasts around them gradually quieted down, and the terrifying roar disappeared.
"This popular python is difficult, and it took a lot of tricks for the old man!"
When Cang Jiuyan reappeared in front of everyone, his body was already bloodstained, and a killing intent escaped from him.
The strength of this Cang senior may be more terrifying than the few people present!
Zhang Yan felt the killing intent and the terrifying aura on the other party's body, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim.
With Cang Jiuyan and the others here, along the way below, although there were still demon beasts infested, as soon as they sensed the breath of several people, they suddenly hid one by one and did not dare to appear.
Half a day later, Zhang Yan followed everyone and finally got out of the haze for a hundred miles, the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and the sight in front of him began to become clear.
Whew......
However, after only a few steps out of the fog, there was a piercing whistling sound in my ears, and a chill rushed towards me, which was biting.
Zhang Yan looked up into the distance and was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that not far ahead, there was a huge canyon that was bottomless, and the horizontal surface of the canyon was more than ten miles, and it stretched longitudinally, and it was difficult to see the end.
Under the canyon, it was dark and could not be seen clearly, only the black wind was constantly howling, and it was extremely cold.
And above the canyon, there is a glittering ice bridge that crosses it.
On the other side of the ice bridge, there is a snow-covered ice and snow world.
Looking into the distance, the entire world is shrouded in falling snow, and there is no end to heaven and earth in the white expanse.
However, Zhang Yan looked at it with his eyes, and could faintly see a huge mountain that stretched to the middle of nowhere, faintly from the white snow, appearing from time to time, with heavy snow on it, and occasionally revealing a gray-black body, black and white, looming above the sky.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, I finally saw the legendary Frost Mountain......"
Wu Yushan's two beautiful eyes glared at the boss, looking at the silver-covered world in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Huh...... Finally arrived, this is the Avalanche Canyon, the only way to enter the Frost Mountain, as long as you pass the Avalanche Canyon, the Frost Mountain is not far away!"
Cang Jiuyan looked at the world world in front of him, his eyes were full of deep yearning, and he sighed with a chuckle.
"The people of those families have also arrived, and many casual cultivators have also begun to cross the ice bridge......
Wei Nan turned his head to look at the front of the ice bridge and spoke.
Zhang Yan followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw that in front of the ice bridge, there were already many people gathered behind a black mountain range, and the shadows were so beautiful that they couldn't see it really.
"Okay, let's go too!"
Cang Jiuyan nodded, said loudly, and took the lead in walking.
Zhang Yan followed everyone forward, and when he got closer, he found that tens of thousands of people had gathered here, all of whom had gathered in front of the ice bridge, and some had even reached the top of the ice bridge, but some of them had reached the middle of the ice bridge, as if they could not withstand the black wind blowing from the canyon, and their bodies were a little trembling, and they were struggling.
There's something weird about this ice bridge!
Zhang Yan saw the situation of the others who were crossing the ice bridge, and secretly remembered to pay attention.
Walking to the vicinity of the ice bridge, Zhang Yan also found that the people gathered here, all of them had blood stains left on their bodies, and some even suffered a lot of injuries, it seemed that they were on the road before, and they had already passed through the haze and fog, and they might even have been secretly attacked by other monks.
Zhang Yan noticed that the people who appeared here, except for a few people with extremely uniform costumes, were all kinds of different costumes, obviously not from small family sects, or scattered cultivators.
It seems that this time to participate in the Frost Mountain competition, scattered cultivation actually accounted for most of them.
Zhang Yan secretly observed, thinking of it.
"Isn't that the fifth son of the Mo family, Mo Baili?"
Wu Yushan was the most active among the crowd, her eyes were purring and turning, and her eyes were very sharp, and she suddenly found a young man in an inky moon-colored robe in the crowd, and exclaimed.
Zhang Yan also followed the prestige of everyone, and really saw Mo Baili, still with that indifferent and elegant smile, and there was still the young man who had been inseparable standing behind him.
"The people of the Jia family and the Xiang family have also arrived......"
Wu Yushan didn't care whether everyone had seen the situation over there or not, and continued to shout excitedly.
"Along the way, the two young masters of the Shangguan family are also very uninterested in you, and always want to see it coldly, but Grandpa Cang looks at you differently. Seeing that you didn't react at all, you shouldn't know Mo Wugongzi, right?"
Wu Yushan saw that Zhang Yan's expression was as usual, without any surprise, and immediately stepped forward, explained endlessly, and said: "The Mo family, but the famous Xiuzhen family in Youlan City, the upper family of several of our families, and Mo Baili Gongzi is one of the youngest genius disciples of the Mo family, and it seems that he is also going to participate in this frost mountain competition......
Wu Yushan's words made Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Long's faces twitch suddenly, but they didn't dare to have any seizures.
And Zhang Yan also showed embarrassment on his face, and when he was in Shangguan's house, I beat these two people very lightly, and it would be good to give me a good look.
However, for this Wu Yushan, Zhang Yan had a good impression of it, and a noncommittal smile appeared on his face.
It's just that Wu Yushan obviously didn't notice the change in the expressions of several people, and continued to point excitedly to the crowd in front of her and said: "Look at that beauty in white, hehe, it's the daughter of the Xiang family, Xiang Yu, but with Sister Lan Ying and Sister Wei Nan, they are called the three beauties of Blastwind City, not only in appearance, but also in cultivation and talent, but they are just as amazing, anyway, Yushan admires ...... most."
Wu Yushan's words made Wei Nan behind him couldn't help but show a strange look, shaking his head and looking a little helpless.
The old woman of the Wu family, seeing this scene, was also helpless, and she seemed to have a headache for this Wu Yushan.
Zhang Yan ignored others, followed the direction of Wu Yushan's pointing, and also noticed the girl in the snow-white robe in the crowd, with picturesque eyebrows, green silk like a waterfall, bright eyes, skin better than snow, and a beautiful woman comparable to Shangguan Lanying and Wei Nan.
Previously, at the Ye family's auction, it should be this woman who rejected Mo Baili in public, and the look on her face turned out to be even more cold and indifferent than Shangguan Lanying, and she was also a cold beauty.
However, thinking of the blue on the Xianquan Pavilion, which looks like a fairy in the sky, the so-called beauty in front of him, Zhang Yan feels a little gloomy.
"Hehe, the young man behind Sister Xiang Yu, called Xiang Qing, is in Wind City, and belongs to a very domineering young master. Followed by the genius boys of the Su family, the Sun family, the Zeng family and other three families, but only the cultivation at the beginning of the foundation building period is far worse than Sister Xiang Yu. ”
Wu Yushan ignored the other people beside her, and tirelessly continued to Zhang Yan: "However, I didn't see the most shy and lovely girl, she is the most amazing talent in the Donggong family in a hundred years, and now she is only fifteen years old, and she is already in the middle of the foundation building period, called Donggong Qiyue, and now she can be described as the treasure of the Donggong family." It's a pity that the Donggong family is now in decline, otherwise her cultivation may be higher, huhu, even so, she can surpass me......"
Speaking of this, Wu Yushan's face flushed slightly, spit out her fragrant tongue, and her face was full of laughter.
I don't know if this Donggong family is the family of Donggong Ming's predecessors, and whether this Donggong Qiyue is the descendant of Donggong's predecessors?
Zhang Yan's eyes were firmly fixed on Nadonggong Qiyue, who had slightly smaller eyes, a slightly round face, a petite body, and a little shy appearance, which was very cute.
Regardless of whether this Donggong Qiyue is the descendant of Donggong Ming, Zhang Yan also secretly kept this woman in mind, no matter what, when he entered the Frost Mountain, if he encountered it, he would also keep this person safe.
Because Zhang Yan had just swept around with his divine sense, he found that among the tens of thousands of people, there were hundreds of monks who cultivated in the late stage of the foundation building period, and the cultivation in the middle of the foundation building period accounted for most of them, which can be described as a gathering of geniuses.
Because there is also an age limit for those who can enter the Frost Mountain, at least not more than twenty-five years old, so many monks in the middle of the foundation building period here are all geniuses who have come out of the strength of the big and small forces, and some are even scattered cultivators.
This made Zhang Yan amazed, and his heart was slightly gloomy, if he hadn't had a lot of adventures, he might still be struggling at the bottom now.
Even so, now that his strength is outstanding, his cultivation is still stuck in the Qi refining period, and it is difficult to build a foundation.
With the appearance of Zhang Yan and the others, most of the people who appeared here also noticed their arrival.
And at this moment, Mo Baili also obviously noticed this side, and when Zhang Yan looked over there, he also looked at the latter in his eyes, and after the essence of his eyes flashed, his expression moved, and he actually walked over to this side.
"The fifth prince of Mo is coming towards us......"
Wu Yushan suddenly noticed this situation, and saw Mo Baili really walking towards this side, and said with excitement on her face, and the girl's heart was fully revealed.
