Chapter 45 Taoist Qing Chong
Ye Chunyang had heard Su Xueyuan mention the name of Qingchong Taoist Li Xuanguang earlier. He was the master of "Senior Brother Zhao". The old Taoist was blocking the way at this moment, most likely with bad intentions.
On the other side, Su Xueyuan also frowned, but did not come forward to stop him, but looked at Ye Chunyang with interest.
She seemed to have guessed most of the purpose of Qingchong Taoist. This time she just wanted to see how Ye Chunyang would face it.
For Su Xueyuan, Ye Chunyang was one of her choices as a furnace, but for some reason, every time she wanted to find out the details of the other party, she vaguely found that there was a mysterious veil on him, so she could not find out the details no matter what. Now it was just right to attack from the side.
At this time, although Ye Chunyang understood it in his heart, he still pretended to be at a loss and stared at the old Taoist blankly.
"My son, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of my name, but you should know Zhao Wanhe." The Taoist Qing Chong's eyes were sharp, "Wanhe is my disciple. Not long ago, he went to the Cannibal Valley with you to carry out a mission, but only you came back. You need to explain this matter to me!"
Ye Chunyang was stunned and said, "Brother Zhao and others accidentally entered the cave of the ancient monster while collecting herbs and were unfortunately buried in the monster's belly. Regarding this matter, I have already explained it clearly to Uncle Su when I returned. I hope that the Grandmaster will understand."
He looked at Su Xueyuan, not knowing whether this woman had made arrangements for him. If the old Taoist in the magic power period chased him, it would be difficult to deal with him.
As if sensing the doubt in Ye Chunyang's eyes, Su Xueyuan's face was slightly cold, but she still greeted the Taoist Qing Chong and said, "Uncle Li, please understand. Ye Chunyang reported this to me as soon as he returned to the sect. Later, I also wrote to my uncle to explain the matter. The death of my nephew Wanhe was indeed an accident..."
"Humph! What an accident!" Before Su Xueyuan finished speaking, Taoist Qing Chong interrupted coldly, "This boy is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he is the worst among the four people in the group. Although my disciple has not established his foundation, he has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. But only this kid at the sixth level of Qi Refining came back. Don't you think it's too strange? It is said that you brought this boy into the sect from your family. Are you protecting him for this reason?"
When the elders and disciples heard this, they all looked over, obviously with doubt.
Ye Chunyang's heart sank. It was obvious that this old Taoist was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
His mind turned quickly, thinking about how to deal with it.
"What do you think, uncle?" Su Xueyuan frowned slightly. Although she was a true disciple of Master Yun Zhen, she did not dare to contradict the Taoist Qing Chong who was in the late stage of magic power.
Taoist Qing Chong sneered, his eyes fell back on Ye Chunyang, and said: "Boy, come with me and take me back to the ancient stone cave in the Cannibal Valley. As long as I use a little magic, I can know the whole story."
Ye Chunyang's heart trembled, thinking that this old Taoist was not using some secret methods to investigate? If so, wouldn't the real cause of Zhao Wanhe's death be exposed?
But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. Zhao Wanhe did die at the hands of the fire dragon. This was true. Even if the old Taoist had great magic, it would be impossible to find him. What's the harm in taking him back to the scene?
After a brief consideration, Ye Chunyang said with difficulty: "Master, you don't know that the terrain of the Man-Eating Valley is special. If you enter it after you have established your foundation, it will cause a riot of spiritual energy. If you force your way in, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay. I have my own magic." The old Taoist waved his hand and looked at the old man in hemp clothes in front of him. "Brother Wuji, Wanhe is my disciple. I must not let him die in vain. After this matter is investigated, I will let Ye Chunyang reunite with everyone."
"Okay, speaking of it, the Man-Eating Valley is near the Thirteen Kingdoms of Lingjun. The number of missing people here is the largest. When the time comes, just let him go to Yuan Kingdom to reunite with other disciples."
The old man in hemp clothes, Wujizi, nodded slightly, and then waved his hand, and talismans flashed in front of Ye Chunyang.
"This is a communication talisman that I personally refined. It can only be used with the skills of our sect. After arriving in Ling County, you only need to sacrifice this talisman and you will find your fellow disciples."
Ye Chunyang's heart was gloomy. This time, not only did he not avoid the task of spying on the news, but he was held hostage by the old Taoist Qing Chong. If he is not careful, he may be doomed.
And this trip may not be completed in ten days or half a month. The invisibility talisman on Ye Xiaobao can only last for fifteen days. Once the magic power disappears, it will appear. Fortunately, he arranged a forbidden method in the wooden house before coming out. In addition, Ye Xiaobao also practiced the "Origin Heavenly Scripture" to hide his breath. As long as it is not a high-level cultivator, ordinary people cannot detect it.
"Boy, follow me!"
Just as he was secretly calculating, he saw the old Taoist Qing Chong's magic power rolled up, and the auspicious clouds gathered under his feet, grabbing his shoulders and flying into the void.
Su Xueyuan's face condensed, and she sacrificed the magic weapon to chase.
But suddenly, a ray of light stopped her.
"Xue Yuan, you stay here. We have another mission for you to do."
A talisman appeared in front of her, and at the same time, Wu Jizi's secret voice came to her ears: "If the disappearance of cultivators from various countries is really caused by the Demon Sect, the other party must have a conspiracy. This time, we sent a hundred Qi Refining disciples just to lure the snake out of the hole. You lead the foundation-building disciples in the sect to follow secretly. Once the trace of the demon is found, kill them without mercy!"
The low voice echoed in her ears, making Su Xueyuan fall into contemplation.
After a while, she nodded and said: "Disciple will follow the instructions of the uncle, but if the hundred Qi Refining disciples fall into the hands of the Demon Sect..."
"This time, except for my Lingyun Sect, the other six sects will also send disciples to investigate this matter. You only need to kill the demon before the six sects and find out the conspiracy of the demon. Don't worry about anything else!"
Wujizi's indifferent answer made Su Xueyuan's delicate body tremble slightly. Those demon sect madmen who captured the monks appeared and disappeared. Even the masters of the nearby second-rate sects were helpless. This showed how strong the opponent was. Apparently, hundreds of Qi refining disciples were used as bait to lure out the demons. Talent is the goal of the sect.
Su Xueyuan felt cold in her heart. In order to eliminate the demon, even hundreds of disciples were sacrificed. This plan to lure the snake out of the hole was not a cruel one.
Although she was shocked, she could not disobey the sect's orders.
Tianjizi didn't care what she was thinking, but calmly explained to the ninety-nine people, and ordered them to divide into several teams and leave the clan one after another.
But those disciples didn't know that shortly after leaving, a dozen or so obscure figures quietly followed him outside the mountain gate.
…
Cannibal Valley.
The forest was still foggy and thick, and it was difficult to see even one's fingers, but this time Ye Chunyang did not stay in the forest. Instead, under the hostage of Master Qing Chong, he flew far across the sky and headed straight for the rocky area.
"Boy, if you dare to tell any lies, this Cannibal Valley will be your burial place."
Mentioning Ye Chunyang, Master Qing Chong spoke in a stern tone. He was afraid that others in the sect would say that he bullied the small with the big one, so he did not use extreme methods. But now that there are no outsiders, he is not so polite to Ye Chunyang.
"Everything I say is true, I dare not make any lies. The fire dragon's cave is in the rocky area ahead." Ye Chunyang looked frightened and pointed at the rocky area in front of him.
Old Taoist Qing Chong snorted, stopped and looked from a distance.
It would inevitably trigger the ban on the Cannibal Valley. The old Taoist took Ye Chunyang to fly high in the sky. Of course, with his cultivation level, he was not afraid of the ban, but once it was triggered, the two of them would not be able to enter the valley.
At this moment, using his spiritual consciousness to perceive, he could see that the valley was restricted and the spiritual energy was chaotic, and could only support the activities of the monks below the foundation. Immediately, his hands changed, and his breath quickly retreated, from the original mana level to the tenth level of Qi refining in an instant.
Ye Chunyang was surprised. This old Taoist had obviously used some kind of secret technique to suppress the realm, which was similar to his original scripture. But before he could think about it, he saw the old Taoist flicking his fly whisk and leading him into the rocky area. .
"I didn't expect that one of the five elements is missing here. It takes someone with four spiritual roots to stabilize the spiritual energy." The old Taoist discovered the anomaly in the rocky area with a cursory glance. Then he glanced at Ye Chunyang, and revealed a strange smile under the detection of his spiritual consciousness: " It turns out that you are the person with the Four Spiritual Roots they selected. No wonder you can enter this place with only the sixth level of Qi Refining, otherwise you would have died countless times."
"What the ancestor said is absolutely true. It is precisely because of the low level of the disciple that the four senior brothers sacrificed their lives to fight against the monsters to protect the safety of the disciple. If they had not sacrificed their lives to protect each other, the disciple would have long since reconnected with the King of Hell."
Ye Chunyang sighed, with a look of regret on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense and take me to that beast's cave right away!" Old Taoist Qing Chong interrupted Ye Chunyang impatiently and led him to point out the direction anxiously.
Ye Chunyang frowned. This old guy kept saying that he wanted to find out the cause of his disciple's death, but since he left the sect, he had never seen the slightest look of care for his disciple on his face. Instead, he kept urging him to hurry on, which made Ye Chunyang wonder. Does he really protect his disciples as he says?
With such speculation, Ye Chunyang became even more cautious. Although the old Taoist had suppressed his realm to the tenth level of Qi Refining, he was still no match for him. If anything happened, he must find a way to protect himself.
With vigilance, he immediately released his spiritual power, opened a path through the rocks and the wind, and led the Qing Chong Taoist to the entrance of the Fire Dragon Cave.
"Old Ancestor, this place is the Fire Dragon Cave. This beast is not only an ancient relic, but has also advanced to the first level. I am afraid it will be difficult for the disciples to resist it. Why don't you let the disciples stay outside and go in to investigate? "
Ye Chunyang showed a look of panic and hesitation on his face.
But it is obvious that these words are just to disguise himself. He is no longer what he used to be. Back then, he could escape safely from the claws of the fire dragon with only the seventh level of Qi Refining and a divine sword talisman. What's more, he is now better than before. Too much stronger.
"Stop talking nonsense! Come in!" The old Taoist ignored Ye Chunyang's grimace and quickly walked into the cave with him in his arms.
Naturally, Ye Chunyang would not be stupid enough to let the other party take advantage of him. There were countless forked holes in this cave. It was not easy for the old man to find the burial place of Zhao Wanhe. Even accidentally disturbing the fire dragon was enough for the old man to drink a pot.
Having made a plan in his mind, Ye Chunyang immediately looked confused and led the old man in a slow circle inside the cave.
