Chapter 1965 Zhang Family Immortal and Xuantian Treasure
The stone wall here looks the same as other places, covered with moss, and there is no sign of being touched by anyone.
If Ji Dao hadn't said it himself, Ye Chunyang would never have thought that there was something hidden here.
According to the spell-breaking formula told by Ji Dao, Ye Chunyang silently practiced it once, and then drew with two fingers.
A flash of light flashed, and ripples spread in the void. Then the stone wall appeared and twisted, and a stone trough gradually appeared in front of Ye Chunyang.
In the stone trough, a small milky white box floated up and down. Ye Chunyang recognized it. It was the thing that Ji Dao took away from Xiuxian City that day.
Ye Chunyang bent his palm, and the small box immediately flew into his hand.
After carefully examining it for a moment, he found that there was a seal on the box, and it seemed to have a strong fluctuation. It should have come from the hands of a high-level cultivator.
Ye Chunyang stared at the box, and didn't know what was in it, so that Ji Dao had to guard it at all costs.
And judging from the way the hunchbacked old man from the Zhang family chased him, the latter also valued this item very much.
Although the seal above is strong, the person who cast the spell should not have reached the level of fusion. With Ye Chunyang's cultivation, it is not impossible to open the seal, but it may take more time.
However, Ji Dao said before that if the things inside were opened, it would definitely bring disaster to himself.
This sounded a bit alarmist, but for the sake of caution, Ye Chunyang would rather believe it.
After thinking for a while, Ye Chunyang immediately threw the box into the Qiankun bag.
In any case, since the box has been taken out by him, he will take it away first. He has carefully checked it just now, and there is no tracking spirit record on it, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
As for whether to send the box to the agreed place as Ji Dao said, let's make plans in the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunyang immediately stopped thinking about it and continued to meditate and practice.
After a night, the sky gradually brightened.
After a night's rest, Ye Chunyang's mana was fully restored. After leaving the cave, he immediately removed the magic circle and used the escape technique to continue rushing towards the main city of Zhang's family.
However, to be on the safe side, before leaving, Ye Chunyang still used a magic to raze the cave to the ground, and then there was no trace of the cave.
What Ye Chunyang didn't know was that about half a day after he left, two streams of light suddenly appeared in the air and fell near the cave where he was now.
It was the hunchbacked old man and the old man with white hair and a young face.
The two of them looked around, and then a look of surprise flashed across their faces.
"Third brother, are you worrying too much? There is no one here? Besides, didn't you say that Ji Dao had been killed by you? How could he still be alive?" The old man with white hair and a young face asked the hunchbacked old man with a questioning face.
At this time, two humanoid puppets stood beside him, holding two bloody heads of a man and a woman in their hands. If Ye Chunyang were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that these two people were the middle-aged man and the woman in white who had escaped with Ji Dao before.
"Ji Dao was indeed killed by me, but I always felt something was wrong, and I didn't find that thing on him. Now I passed by here, and I faintly felt the breath of that thing, so I came down to take a look." The hunchbacked old man squinted his eyes and scanned the surroundings, as if he wanted to take a closer look at every detail.
The old man with white hair and a childlike face frowned, and after a while, he said: "Ji Dao is just a cultivation of the initial stage of returning to the void. He was beaten to death by the third brother on the spot. There is no chance of survival. But you are the only one in our Zhang family who has come into contact with that thing. Could it be that the third brother really found something here?"
The hunchbacked old man did not speak.
He released his spiritual sense to scan, and after a moment he seemed to sense something, and uttered a surprised sound.
Then, his face darkened and he suddenly flashed in a certain direction.
The old man with white hair and a young face saw this, and without asking any more questions, he hurriedly followed.
A moment later, the two came to a ruin with collapsed rubble, which was the stone cave where Ye Chunyang was before.
The hunchbacked old man stared at the front, his eyes flashed with sharpness.
"There are traces of magic!"
At this time, the old man with white hair and a young face also found something unusual.
The fluctuation of magic power remained in the air here, and it was obvious that this place was destroyed by human beings.
"The more you try to hide, the more obvious it is. I want to see who is hiding here?" The hunchbacked old man sneered, stomped the cane in his hand suddenly, and a ball of spiritual light appeared in his palm, slowly rising into the air.
Then, a scene similar to that in Xiuxian City appeared. The spiritual light spread in the void and turned into a mirror floating up and down. Then, a figure flashed in the mirror. It was the scene of Ye Chunyang casting a spell to destroy the cave!
The hunchbacked old man looked at Ye Chunyang who appeared in the mirror, frowned, and had some doubts in his eyes.
"I have never seen this person before. He should not be in the same group as Ji Dao and the other two. Maybe he is just a cultivator passing by here." The old man with white hair and a childlike face thought for a moment and said so.
The hunchbacked old man's eyes flickered a few times, but he suddenly sneered, "Hmph! I don't think so. I said just now that I vaguely felt the breath of that thing. Now there is such a cultivator with strange whereabouts. Whether he is in the same group as Ji Dao and the other three, it seems a bit suspicious. Otherwise, why would he destroy this place before leaving? Isn't he trying to cover up something?"
The white-haired and boy-faced old man was stunned when he heard this, and then his face darkened, and he slowly said: "Based on this analysis, this person is indeed acting suspiciously. Since the item is not on Jidao's body, there is a high possibility that he will hand it over to someone else." Big, if Third Brother’s perception is correct, that thing might be in this person.”
"If you want to know if the thing is on him, chase him and take a look." The rickety old man said with a sinister look on his face.
After saying that, he shook his cane and the person disappeared on the spot.
The gray-haired old man with a boyish face had a cold light in his eyes, and he quickly caught up with the two puppets.
…
Ye Chunyang did not realize that a crisis was quietly approaching. As he escaped at extremely fast speed, a few days later, he had arrived at a popular city of cultivating immortals.
This place no longer had the solemn atmosphere that he had when he met Jidao and the others before. It was no different from an ordinary Xiuxian City. However, judging from the map Hua Fei'er left him, this was not the main city of the Zhang family, but just an adjacent city. A medium-sized city.
Ye Chunyang planned to rest here for a while before continuing on his way.
Probably because it is located in the center of the Human Emperor Realm, even though this Immortal Cultivation City is only medium-sized, the teahouses and taverns are full of people and there are many monks coming and going.
Ye Chunyang came to a tavern and found a relatively quiet place to sit down. He didn't order much, only a pot of wine and a few dishes of side dishes, and drank by himself.
There were people talking loudly around them, mostly anecdotes from the spiritual world. Of course, there were exaggerations in them, and Ye Chunyang paid more attention to them.
But when several voices came from the table next to him, it attracted his attention.
Turning to those people, I saw a bearded man, a middle-aged man in commoner clothes, and two beautiful young women.
"I heard that Zhang Jiaguang sent out invitations this time, inviting various factions in the Human Emperor Realm to participate in the stargazing ceremony. The momentum was extremely high-profile. It seems that they planned to take this opportunity to establish their authority among the various factions." The one who spoke was the one who spoke. He was a bearded man with a low voice and a somewhat solemn look on his face. He was obviously very serious about what he said.
"This matter is well known to everyone, so why is it strange? After all, the Zhang family has a genius like Zhang Ling'er. It is very possible for the Zhang family to become a top force in the human emperor realm and stand side by side with the Lingxiao Realm and Tianjue Palace. Now it is just a matter of building momentum in advance. That's all." The middle-aged man in civilian clothes next to him shook his head and said in a nonchalant tone.
"Speaking of this Ling'er, she is indeed extremely talented. It seems that she is not even two thousand years old, right? She has actually entered the Void Returning Stage from the God Transformation Stage. With such evil characters, how can the Zhang family not rise?"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young woman next to him said quietly, which seemed a bit tasteful.
"It was already a year ago that Zhang Ling'er achieved the goal of returning to the void. There have been rumors about this for a long time. You don't think that this stargazing ceremony is really held because of Zhang Ling'er's breakthrough, right?" At this time, the bearded man was a little confused. Mysterious opening.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in surprise.
The middle-aged man in civilian clothes asked doubtfully: "The invitation from the Zhang family is clearly written on it, and you have all received it. It is to hold a stargazing ceremony for Zhang Ling'er to advance to the void. Is there something fishy about this matter?"
"Hehe, of course things are not that simple." The bearded man looked at everyone with a mysterious face, "Did you know that there was a true immortal in the Zhang family?"
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
The reason why the Zhang family can stand side by side with one palace, one realm, three sects and sixteen sects is precisely because there once appeared a powerful true immortal who ascended to the immortal world. Anyone who is not too ignorant can know this.
The bearded man paused for a while before continuing: "It is said that the real immortal of the Zhang family once left a Xuantian treasure. However, this treasure is a thing of the immortal family. It has immortal energy and must be the chosen one of the Zhang family. After that, there has been no one in the Zhang family who can resonate with this treasure. This Ling'er is the Zhang family's chosen one!"
"What? Treasure of Xuantian?"
Several people were suddenly shocked.
The Xuantian Treasure is the ultimate treasure that is superior to the Tongtian Spiritual Treasure. It is the highest level magic weapon known so far. However, since the disappearance of the major true immortals, all the Xuantian Treasures have also disappeared one after another. It is no longer known It hasn't appeared again in many years.
Hearing what the bearded man said, everyone was suddenly frightened. The Zhang family actually owned the Xuantian Treasure?
"Now you know why the Zhang family dared to invite monks from all over the world in such a big way?!" the bearded man said with a look of deep approval.
Next to him, Ye Chunyang listened to the conversation of several people and was also shocked!
