After some contemplation, her expression suddenly changed, as if she had realized something.

Then he issued a few orders to the people below and quickly turned into a golden light and left.

After a while, she appeared in the sky hundreds of miles away and intercepted a mysterious monk who was about to leave the Tianyue Mountains.

"You are Fellow Daoist Ma from the Demon Wood Sect? Why don't you practice in the sect but sneak into our Tianyue Mountains? Was the commotion caused by the monsters just now caused by you?"

The old woman stared at the other person with a scrutinizing look and questioned in a cold tone.

The monk opposite was wearing a yellow-green robe, his face covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with a strange golden light, looking extremely strange.

In a quiet valley, a masked monk confronted an old woman.

The old woman questioned the purpose of the masked monk's visit, thinking that he was not simply pursuing the monster, but doing it intentionally.

The masked monk explained that he had just entered this place by mistake, and expressed his concern about the commotion caused by monsters just now.

The old woman did not believe the masked monk's explanation. She pointed out that with the masked monk's strength and escape skills, it would be impossible for any monster to break into the Tianyue Mountains.

Furthermore, the old woman mentioned that she had searched everything within a radius of hundreds of miles, and apart from the masked monk, she had not found any other monks capable of doing this.

Faced with the old woman's accusations, the masked monk showed a tough attitude.

He said that although he was no match for the old woman, he was not alone.

He reminded the old woman that many disciples in his sect knew that he had entered the Tianyue Mountains, and they would not sit idly by if a conflict occurred.

The masked monk even hinted that if the old woman insisted on framing him, it might lead to a war between good and evil.

After hearing this, the old woman's eyes became sharp and she began to re-examine the opponent in front of her.

After a moment of silence, she questioned in a cold tone: "Is this really not something you did?"

The masked monk felt relieved upon hearing this, and then adjusted his attitude, expressing his willingness to prove his innocence by taking the inner demon oath:

"If Fellow Daoist Sun deems it necessary, Ma is willing to swear an oath to prove his innocence. From beginning to end, I knew nothing about the changes that took place in your palace."

After hearing this, the other party's tone softened, and his words were a little more respectful:

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to do this. I believe this is not your doing. Considering your lofty status in the sect, the possibility of you doing such a disgraceful thing is very small."

"Besides, I have never heard that you have the ability to summon monsters."

"However, Brother Dao has traveled to the Tianyue Mountains because of a demon beast. I believe this beast must be very powerful. Can you tell me more about it?"

The masked monk realized that he needed to reveal some information to dispel the other party's doubts, so he told them frankly:
"This monster is indeed rare. To me, its value is no less than the Haoyang Bird in your palace."

"It is a newly promoted earth dragon to level seven. I found it by chance in Huangli Mountain near the city."

"However, this beast is extremely cunning and is proficient in the art of escaping underground. It took me six days and six nights to track it to this place. Therefore, I did not inform you in advance. I had no choice."

"A level 7 Earth Armor Dragon? It's extremely rare, especially a high-level one that I've never heard of."

"Fellow Daoist Ma is so anxious, it turns out that he has made a discovery. Although I have heard of his name, I have never seen his true appearance. I wonder if I can have the honor to see him?"

The old woman showed great interest in addition to her surprise.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Fellow Daoist Ma. Just when the monster was making a commotion, my secret technique suddenly failed and I lost track of the monster. But..."

"But what?" A gleam of light flashed in the old woman's eyes.

"However, when I was looking for the Earth Armor Dragon, I saw a beam of green light falling from the sky at an extremely fast speed. It did not seem to be the work of the monks from your palace. I guess the changes in the mountains have a lot to do with this person."

"Therefore, I tried my best to catch up and find out the truth."

"Unfortunately, this person's escape light was too fast. He left me behind in just a moment and disappeared without a trace. And at this time, I was blocked by Fellow Daoist Sun."

The masked monk smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"Qing Hong? So this person just left not long ago! Where did he go?"

The old woman's expression changed and she asked hurriedly.

"Daoyou has great magical powers, maybe he can track down the escapee."

The masked monk spoke calmly with a deep gaze.

"Thank you for your advice, Fellow Daoist Ma. I will go check it out now. Since the Earth Armored Dragon has disappeared, Fellow Daoist, please leave this mountain range."

"We are both righteous and evil, and our philosophies are different. This place is not comparable to your sect's Shenmu Cliff. When I return, I don't want to see you stranded in the mountains again."

After the old woman got the clue, she immediately expressed her intention to expel him. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a golden light and quickly flew out of the mountain.

"Humph! The old witch is really as difficult to deal with as the rumors say. She changed her face immediately after hearing the news. The so-called difference between good and evil is just an excuse. The real purpose is to get the earth dragon."

"If my sense is correct, the disappearance of the Earth Armor Dragon is probably related to Qinghong. Judging from the speed of that escape light, it is no less than that of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. It is not easy to catch up with it."

"Looking at her hurried look, it seems that the man has caused considerable damage to Yueyang Palace. This is gratifying."

When the masked monk saw the golden light disappear, he sneered and muttered to himself.

His eyes swept across the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a barely perceptible hint of joy quietly emerged.

Although we failed to capture the earth ankylosaur, we accidentally captured a black-blood spider, so this trip was finally fruitful.

As for the escape of the earth armored dragon, it was obviously caught by someone else. It was really puzzling that the means used by the person could make the monster so crazy.

He looked unwilling and then fell into deep thought.

Realizing that this person's ability to lure monsters was extraordinary, he suddenly looked up and whispered to himself.

After looking around vigilantly, green light suddenly appeared around his body, turning into a bright green rainbow, which instantly broke through the air.

At the same time, the old woman surnamed Sun flew for half a day and scanned the surrounding area for tens of thousands of miles with her spiritual sense, but did not find anything unusual.

In desperation, she had to return to Yueyang Palace and strictly ordered the disciples who knew about the matter not to spread it to others, so as to avoid becoming a laughing stock in the Dajin immortal cultivation world.

Fortunately, the person who attacked the Haoyang Bird only took away the fire feathers and did not harm the spiritual bird itself.

With careful care and the use of miraculous elixirs, the Haoyang Bird can recover its vitality within a few decades.

In one incident, the old woman suffered unspeakable injustice and could only bear it in secret.

However, she did not give up, but secretly sent some elite disciples to investigate whether there were any major forces or high-level cultivators who needed to refine treasures recently, hoping to find the mastermind behind the scenes. Her purpose was not only to avenge the loss of the spiritual bird, but also to master the man's method of attracting monsters, so that she could hunt monster pills and tame spirit beasts more easily in the future.

At the same time, the Momu Sect, which is as famous as the Yueyang Palace, also took similar actions.

He secretly sent disciples to inquire whether there were any high-level monks from outside Longzhou, and whether they had unfamiliar faces.

These secret activities of the two major forces made some aristocratic families and sects who thought they were well-informed feel uneasy, and they speculated whether this was a signal that Yueyang Palace and Momu Sect were about to go to war.

As a result, the atmosphere in the entire Longzhou County became tense, and small forces began to form alliances or shrink in order to cope with possible changes.

Chen Yun had no idea that his actions would cause so many troubles.

In the belly of an unknown barren mountain, a cultivator was in a temporary stone chamber. He held five dreamlike flaming feathers in his hands and talked with the Great Evolution God.

"The old woman who chased after you at the end should be a late Nascent Soul cultivator from Yueyang Palace. Her cultivation is indeed extraordinary. However, her consciousness is only at an ordinary level, and she failed to detect your presence. Otherwise, you would be in great danger."

Lord Dayan seemed to be in a good mood and joked in a lighthearted manner.

The monk responded:
"If it doesn't work, just use Blood Shadow Escape again."

"I don't think there are other clones of holy beasts from the upper realm in this world that I just happened to run into. However, the escape method that old woman practiced is extremely fast. My speed is slightly inferior, so I can only dodge temporarily."

"Indeed. Although this trip was somewhat risky, it was very rewarding. Not only did we get these fire feathers, but we also got a rare earth ankylosaur. If we can tame it, there will be great hope for finding genius treasures in the future."

Lord Dayan said with satisfaction.

Although Chen Yun is optimistic about the prospect of taming adult monsters, he is also well aware of the difficulties and uncertainties involved.

Lord Dayan seemed to have rich experience in this regard. He believed that monsters with high intelligence were easier to tame, which aroused Chen Yun's curiosity and expectations.

After discussing the possible difficulty of taming the Earth Ankle Dragon, Chen Yun planned to deal with some matters at hand first, including simply processing a few fire feathers, and preparing to participate in the upcoming auction in Jinjing.

He was full of curiosity about this place known as the first city of Dajin.

Lord Dayan also recalled his visit to Jinjing. Although it was just a mortal city, its extraordinary aura left a deep impression on him.

After learning what my predecessors said, I became more interested in this matter.

Fortunately, this place is not far from Jinjing.

It only takes one day to process the required materials and you can set off immediately.

Three months is more than enough time for me, Chen Yun said in a calm tone.

Then, a green light flashed in his hand, and only one fire feather remained, while the rest had disappeared.

He threw the fire feather into the air, opened his mouth and spit out a ball of green infant fire, which enveloped the fire feather and stimulated the red essence fire of the fire feather itself.

Suddenly, the outer layer of the long feather turned green, and the inside was flashing red, which looked extremely eye-catching.

Chen Yun himself sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, concentrated, and formed seals with his hands, entering a state of cultivation.

After a day and a night of seclusion, Chen Yun walked out of the stone chamber deep in the mountain and immediately set off for the central part of Dajin.

Its destination is the prosperous core of the mortal world - Jinjing, a towering and thriving city.

As it was still early, in order to avoid attracting attention, Chen Yun moved towards the east at the normal speed of a Jindan stage cultivator, neither hurried nor slow.

After crossing the border of Longzhou and arriving at the neighboring county, he took out the magical weapon, the Wind Wheel, and instantly accelerated to the limit, turning into a bright white light and breaking through the air.

During the journey, although Chen Yun only vaguely revealed the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the low-level cultivators who met him by chance could all feel his extraordinaryness, and they all gave way to him respectfully, not daring to show any disrespect.

In the territory of Dajin, Nascent Soul cultivators are admired by many practitioners.

After more than a month's journey, they approached Jinjiang County, which was the suburb of Jinjing.

Chen Yun retracted the wind wheel at the right time, slowed down his flying speed, and skillfully adjusted his own aura to the level of the Jindan stage, moving forward calmly.

This move is intended to avoid attracting too much attention in the heartland of Dajin, where there are many experts.

More than ten days later, on the official road a hundred miles away from Jinjing, an ordinary scene came into view.

An old horse with a slightly yellowish coat was pulling a two-wheeled carriage that looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time, moving slowly forward.

At the front of the carriage sat a plain-looking scholar in a blue robe. This man was none other than Chen Yun, who had disguised himself and blended into this world as an ordinary traveler.

In front of the vehicle, his body was swaying slightly, his eyes were half closed, and he seemed to be half asleep and half awake.

However, beneath the surface, he was secretly refining the Xuepo Pills he had taken a few days ago.

Since crossing the space rift, he has taken more than ten pills of this elixir that can enhance the ability of ice.

As one of the ancient elixirs, this elixir significantly improved the purity of the cold energy of the Qianlan Ice Flame and the Six-Winged Frost Centipede that Chen Yun had previously fused.

Some difficult-to-refine impurities remaining in the Purple Sky Fire are also gradually being assimilated, thereby greatly enhancing the power of the cold air.

The refining process of these pills is quite difficult, and each dose requires three to four months, which makes Chen Yun feel a little inconvenient.

If one can continue to take one pill every month, it is estimated that in just over a hundred years, the power of the Purple Sky Fire will be extremely terrifying, and may even reach the legendary realm of "Thousands of Miles of Ice".

Even so, the current progress has made the Purple Sky Fire one of the top magical powers in both the righteous and evil ways, and there is almost no other skill that can truly restrain its power.

Chen Yun chose to arrive in Jinjing by carriage instead of flying because as the capital of the mortal world, there was an unwritten rule in the immortal cultivation world of Dajin.

That is, fighting and aerial flying are prohibited within a thousand miles around the capital city of Jin, in order to express the symbolic respect of the immortal cultivators for the secular regime.

This rule mainly restricts low-level cultivators. As for high-level practitioners above the Nascent Soul stage, especially those in the Core Formation stage who have mastered advanced escape techniques, they often turn a blind eye to it.

Those responsible for supervising the implementation of this regulation are usually independent cultivators employed by the government, whose cultivation level is generally not high.

Therefore, many high-level monks chose to ignore this ban as long as they could avoid being noticed or avoid flying openly at low altitudes when approaching the capital.

However, although Chen Yun had reservations about such regulations, he had plenty of time and wanted to refine the Xuepo Pill on the way.

He chose to land hundreds of miles away, then bought an old horse and leisurely embarked on a journey to Jinjing.

During this journey, Chen Yun met some low-level cultivators who were traveling obediently on horseback or in carriages.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Yun restrained his magical powers and made himself look no different from an ordinary person.

Therefore, these low-level immortal cultivators could not detect his true identity, and no one came to disturb him. (End of this chapter)
