This person's appearance was then revealed to everyone.
His eyebrows were burnt yellow and his eyes were small, but his head was incomparably large, nearly half the size of an ordinary person's. It was swaying on his neck as if it would break off at any time. It looked extremely strange.
When the practitioners in the hall saw this man's horrific appearance, they all stood up in shock.
The square-faced monk frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked the other party carefully:
"Are you really Uncle Seven?"
His voice may have been a little tentative due to his inner uncertainty.
"Hehe!" The weirdo laughed a low and slightly weird laugh and said slowly:
"My second son, hundreds of years have passed in a flash, and you can't even recognize me."
"But this is understandable. After all, I experienced the miraculous event of coming back to life from the dead, which does make you suspicious."
As he spoke, he laughed, raised his hand and threw over a jade slip emitting a soft green light.
Although the square-faced monk was still doubtful, he still reached out and took the jade slip.
He closed his eyes slightly and slowly immersed his consciousness in the jade slip.
In an instant, it seemed as if I was in a mysterious torrent of information.
In just a moment, the square-faced monk's expression changed several times like the unpredictable wind and clouds.
When he pulled his spiritual consciousness out of the jade slip again, a smile of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
He hurriedly bowed deeply to the strange man and said respectfully:
"It turns out that Uncle Seven's death was actually a clever plan that was arranged by the previous Great Elder. I was very rude just now, I hope Uncle Seven will forgive me."
The weirdo waved his hand slightly, revealing a hint of relief in his expression, and said with a smile:
"I am so happy that you are so careful. How can I blame you?"
Upon seeing this, the other monks also began to examine the magical jade slip out of curiosity.
Soon, all the monks in the hall showed surprise on their faces, and then they also stepped forward and saluted respectfully to the strange man.
"Really Uncle Seven"
"Meet the Third Uncle!"
For a while, greetings came one after another, echoing in the hall.
The strange man seemed particularly happy. Without any hesitation, he walked straight to the main seat and sat down steadily, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Regarding that Uncle Seven had advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage two hundred years ago, Brother Three mentioned something in the jade slip. I wonder if this is true?"
the old woman inquired respectfully.
“That’s true.”
The weirdo said in a deep voice:
"Those big sects secretly attacked me back then because they realized that I had a high chance of breaking through to the late stage."
"In order to get rid of me as soon as possible, they did not hesitate to set up many traps. Fortunately, my clan made careful arrangements, so I was able to escape this disaster, and finally lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully advanced."
"According to the order of the elders of the previous generation of the clan, unless the Ye family is facing a critical moment of life and death, I should not show up to meet you."
"However, the three boys who were the only ones who knew of my existence suddenly came to me a few days ago and told me your plan."
"He pleaded with me to help as the current elder of the clan. After careful consideration, I realized that this matter concerns the life and death of the Ye family, so I decided to come and lend a helping hand to you."
After saying that, the weirdo's expression turned serious.
With the help of Uncle Seventh and Third Brother, we have two great monks assisting us in this treasure-hunting operation.
With the help of cultivators within the clan and elders from other families, their strength is enough to compete with the ten major sects of righteousness and evil.
This time we have a good chance of success in obtaining treasure from southern Xinjiang.
I will not interfere with your actions, just do your best.
Whether the Ye family can escape the control of both the good and evil forces depends on this one move. I will not become a burden to you.
Hearing the promise from the only surviving elder, the square-faced monk and the old woman were overjoyed and naturally humble.
The elders of the first family of Dajin conspired in the hall for a long time before leaving one after another.
In a secret room in a mansion in the imperial city, a dark demonic aura filled the air.
A gigantic two-headed demon could be vaguely seen in the house, its eyes flashing black and purple, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
After an unknown amount of time, the demon suddenly let out a low roar, and the demonic energy around it began to roll violently, as if all rivers were being absorbed into its body like rivers flowing into the sea.
Then, the demon performed a four-hand seal, and with a deafening explosion, it transformed into a seemingly ordinary young man in the black fog, whose face vaguely resembled Chen Yun.
This person is the ancient demon hiding in the Ye family.
"Yes, my injuries have recovered by 80%. As long as I don't encounter those old guys, no one in Dajin can do anything to me."
"It's time for the Ye family to take action."
"Given my familiarity with the ancient times, there's no way they wouldn't take me along. Once we reach our destination, hehe..."
The demon muttered to himself with a sneer on his face.
Just as the ancient demon finished healing his wounds, in a secret cave of the Yinluo Sect outside Jinjing City, Ge Tianhao and Saint Tianlan were whispering to each other.
Jiuyou Sect's Fu Cheng appeared in southern Xinjiang, and we have heard that he went to the underground trade fair with the young man surnamed Chen. If it weren't for the timely tip-off, we might still be kept in the dark.
In view of this, the great elder of our sect is going to Southern Xinjiang on official business. If he encounters Fu Cheng, he will personally solve the matter. Is Fellow Daoist Lin willing to go with us to find out the truth?
Lin Yinping said, however, that Fucheng's appearance in southern Xinjiang does not mean that the young man named Chen is also there.
As far as she knew, Immortal Master Xu had led the palace guards from the grassland to Dajin.
She will soon arrive in Jinjing to join her. After the meeting, if there is no definite clue, she will go to southern Xinjiang to search for it herself.
Upon hearing that Fellow Daoist Xu was coming, Ge Tianhao was extremely happy.
He knew very well that the Great Elder had asked him to accompany Fellow Daoist Lin, and it was a great honor for him to be able to wait for good news with Fellow Daoist Lin.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yinping smiled slightly and nodded slightly to show her agreement.
"Lin Yinping frowned slightly, thinking to himself, the man surnamed Chen had appeared in the coastal area and was even hired as a guest elder by three small sects. We have been sending people to observe secretly, but there has been no movement so far."
Ge Tianhao shook his head helplessly and said:
"This person is extremely cunning. After he came forward to assist the three sects, he has not appeared again."
"As far as I know, his relationship with Tianfu Sect is just a casual acquaintance. Even if these three sects are eliminated, I'm afraid he won't even give them a second glance."
"That's true,"
Lin Yinping nodded slightly and continued:
"As a cultivator from Tiannan, he naturally wouldn't care too much about the survival of these small sects."
"However, before I set off for Dajin, I had already sent people to Tiannan to investigate this person's background. Now that so much time has passed, I should be able to gain something."
"When Master Xu arrives, you may as well ask him in detail so that you can have a clear idea when you face him again in the future." Ge Tianhao was excited when he heard this and said:
"If we can get detailed information about this person and find out his cultivation method, it will be much easier to deal with him. I just don't know when Master Xu and his men will be able to arrive?"
"If Immortal Master Xu joins forces with your sect's great elder, that person will have trouble escaping."
Saint Tianlan said bitterly when she thought about the sacred beast being taken away.
When Ge Tianhao heard this, his heart was slightly moved.
Although this woman claimed that she wanted to find and kill him because he had killed many Tianlan monks, that person's magical power was almost at the late Nascent Soul stage. How could the Saint Tianlan pursue him relentlessly just for a matter of revenge?
After all, the person is dead, and it is not wise to provoke such a terrifying existence again. There must be some unknown reason why it has stayed here for several years and even sent people here to kill the other party.
It seems that he must find out the secret. Ge Tianhao remained calm on the surface, but made up his mind secretly.
Lin Yinping's heart was not as calm as she appeared. As the sacred beast's clone was imprisoned for longer and longer, she didn't know how long she could keep the matter secret.
For a long time, she never had the courage to take the initiative to contact the upper realm.
Fortunately, the clone of the Tianlan Holy Beast was only imprisoned and had not completely disappeared, so its main body did not seem to notice this.
But time is running out and rescue operations cannot be delayed.
However, in order to reduce the losses of Tianlan monks, the power of Yinluo Sect must be cleverly utilized.
The woman had already made up her mind.
At the border between southern Xinjiang and a certain state, a smiling old man was using Qinggong to travel, while he was chatting and laughing with several disciples in the Qi Refining stage.
These young monks who had just started their practice were attracted by his words and listened with fascination.
If Chen Yun was present, he would be shocked to see this old man with a cunning face.
This old man was none other than Xiang Zhili, whom Chen Yun suspected had already reached the stage of Divine Transformation.
Ever since Chen Yun left Tianfu Sect, before the sect's top leaders had a chance to question this low-level disciple, he disappeared mysteriously.
The monks of Tianfu Sect were once frightened by something, but most of them suspected that it was done by Chen Yun, so they suppressed the matter and strictly forbade anyone in the sect to mention Xiang Zhili.
However, several years later, the mysterious old man appeared here again, and his whereabouts were really puzzling.
Not only the Tianfu Sect, but many major forces in the Dajin Immortal Cultivation World have all sensed that undercurrents are surging beneath the seemingly calm Immortal Cultivation World.
Some powerful sects even vaguely realized that this matter was related to the Ye family, the royal family of Dajin.
However, due to the lack of definite evidence, these senior officials only met and discussed frequently, and seemed to be planning something in secret.
The situation in the entire Dajin is tense, and it seems that a storm is about to come.
A few months later, a long and extremely joyful roar suddenly came from the volcanic area of Yinjiao Mountain in southern Xinjiang. The roar rose into the sky and went straight up to the nine heavens.
A dazzling green rainbow flew out from the ground, disappeared in the air in an instant, and then appeared at the end of the sky.
Such an astonishing speed of escape shocked the several monks who witnessed this scene from a distance. They were all dumbfounded and their faces were full of horror.
Seven or eight days later, the same green rainbow appeared again, speeding across the sky above the largest primeval forest in southern Xinjiang. The forest was nearly ten thousand miles wide, covering the entire mountain range of southern Xinjiang. The green rainbow shot all the way to the west.
The escaping light cut through the sky and quietly descended over a huge basin.
At this moment, the air was filled with dark yellow poisonous fog, which was over a thousand feet high and was daunting.
However, the escaping light did not stop, but resolutely fell to the edge of the poisonous fog.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are a little late for coming here this time."
As the light gradually faded, Chen Yun's figure slowly appeared and landed beside several monks who were sitting cross-legged on the ground practicing.
One of the old men, named Fu, stood up first and spoke with a smile on his face.
It turned out that the old man surnamed Fu was the one who had appeared before.
The other three were actually old acquaintances who had attended the party half a year ago, including Bai Yaoyi and the big man surnamed Yuan.
Facing everyone's slightly reproachful gazes, Chen Yun bowed slightly and explained:
"I am truly sorry, fellow Taoists. I have been refining a vital magical instrument recently, and I was only able to finish it a few days ago. Therefore, I am a little late. I hope you will forgive me."
Hearing this, all the monks nodded in understanding.
After all, the path to becoming an immortal is long and difficult, and refining equipment is an indispensable part of it.
Bai Yaoyi carefully looked at Chen Yun several times and asked with concern:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you just finished refining the weapon and rushed here. Shouldn't you take a break first and recover your magic power?" Her words were full of care and consideration.
The old man surnamed Fu also nodded in agreement:
"Brother Bai is absolutely right. The purpose of our trip is to explore the mysterious Yin-Yang Cave, so we naturally need to stay in the best condition. Brother Chen, why don't you take a rest for two days and set off again when you have enough mana."
So, in this basin shrouded in poisonous fog, the monks began to regulate their breathing and practice, making full preparations for the upcoming adventure.
Although the big man surnamed Yuan and the beautiful woman surnamed Chang did not say anything, their expressions revealed their agreement.
Chen Yun nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the black valley entrance that was vaguely visible under the yellow poisonous fog more than a hundred feet away, and said, "Okay, Chen will not be polite. We will enter the valley again in two days."
After he finished speaking, he turned his palm over, and two mid-level wooden spirit stones flashing with green light appeared in his palm. He then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
Although the others had abundant magical powers, they all closed their eyes and rested, striving to reach the best physical and mental condition to cope with the upcoming challenges.
Two days passed in a flash, and when Chen Yun opened his eyes again, his eyes were as calm as water.
Seeing this, the old man surnamed Fu shouted without hesitation:
"set off!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and cast spells to form a light shield to protect themselves from head to toe, preparing to step into the valley full of unknowns and dangers.
The big man named Yuan held the Poison-Repelling Ruyi and led everyone through the Poison Valley. He reminded everyone to be careful of the tiny poisonous insects in the poisonous fog and not to remove the protective aura easily.
He pointed out that the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons was a forbidden place left over from ancient times, with unknown forbidden areas in the sky.
The safest method is to throw the knife from above.
The big man surnamed Yuan took out a jade ruyi that was shining with silver light and walked towards the poisonous fog first.
Chen Yun and others followed. When approaching the edge of the poisonous fog, the man surnamed Yuan chanted a spell and released circles of silver waves from his Ruyi.
These silver waves pushed away most of the poisonous fog, making it thinner.
Afterwards, the big man surnamed Yuan released a light body technique and floated towards the valley entrance.
The others also cast spells and followed closely.
Deep in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, where poisonous insects were densely packed, a silver light suddenly flashed, followed by a dozen huge fireballs shooting out.
After these fireballs made a "puff" sound in the air, they did not explode, but turned into dozens of lifelike fire snakes and pounced on the ground. (End of this chapter)
