The cultivator besieged by that group of white, strange insects was actually Bai Xinyao, a woman he had dealt with a few times when he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage.
This woman also guarded Red Rock Mountain with him back then. He also learned from Mu Xiaoyan that this woman had also formed her Golden Core.
Bai Xinyao, also from the Cangyun Kingdom, is a direct disciple of the Bai family, the number one immortal cultivation family in the Cangyun Kingdom. She is extremely proficient in the art of formations and has quite a reputation.
He didn't expect to meet this fellow Daoist Bai in this strange space.
Scanning with his divine sense, Zhang Ling noticed that Bai Xinyao's cultivation level at this time was also at the peak of the mid-Golden Core stage. It seemed that the situation was not good at the moment.
There were many of those white, strange insects besieging her, as many as tens of thousands. Each insect was about the thickness of a thumb and looked very much like a mosquito, but they were snow-white all over, with white flames emitting from their bodies, exuding a cold aura.
Zhang Ling took a few more glances and recognized them. These seemed to be the extremely rare "White Rice Worms" White Rice Worms. They could吐吞(吞吐: spit out) white phosphorus cold air, and their reputation was several levels higher than the Earth Spirit Bees he was raising.
Bai Xinyao's face was covered in dirt, and her white clothes were mostly damaged. Her face was a little pale, and a layer of frost appeared on her lips.
Nine scarlet round beads floated in front of her, constantly rotating, forming a layer of solidified flame罩光(光罩: light shield), protecting her whole body.
In the light of the flames, nine vague dragon shadows constantly swam, releasing more flames to radiate around, and all the White Rice Worms that approached were burned to death.
It seemed to be quite powerful.
However, there were too many White Rice Worms attacking her from the outside, constantly spewing cold air, and she was about to not be able to support it.
If she hadn't been carrying this set of Three Yang Fire Formations, she would have been unable to hold on long ago. The Three Yang Fire Formation was originally supposed to be controlled by three Golden Core cultivators who practiced fire attribute techniques together. It could exert several times the fire spirit attack.
But now she was only barely supporting it alone, and the consumption of spiritual power was huge. Even with the replenishment of spirit stones, she could not exert the full power of this formation, and could only struggle to support it.
Originally, she had followed the army to attack Yanhsia City. Because she was proficient in the art of formations, she was arranged to the rear during the siege, and together with several other monks who were also proficient in the art of formations, she controlled the formations used for sieging.
After breaking through Yanhsia City, she naturally killed into the city with several fellow disciples. But in the斗相(相斗: fighting) process, somehow, a piece of black water suddenly emerged from the city, engulfing them all into this strange place.
After rushing out of the black water, she had just reached the shore to restore her consumed spiritual power when she unfortunately encountered this group of strange insects again, which chased her all the way.
Am I going to die here today? Bai Xinyao's lips became even paler.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a strange rustling sound. Seeing the dense white ash outside, she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was the noise made by these strange insects.
However, the rustling sound became louder and louder, and at the same time, there was a huge noise.
Bai Xinyao realized that something might have happened outside, and quickly released her divine sense. She found that a cloud of strange yellow sand had drifted in from nowhere, and it was rapidly flowing, impacting that group of white flying insects.
That cloud of yellow sand seemed to be conscious, twisting into a huge stone dragon, and spewing out a piece of yellow light from its mouth. Wherever the yellow light passed, those white flying insects were all petrified, and they all fell to the ground with a clattering sound.
"What's going on?" Bai Xinyao was greatly surprised. The group of white flying insects that had been凶逞(逞凶: rampaging) outside were killed in an instant by more than half.
The remaining less than half of the flying insects seemed to sense the danger, and no longer besieged her. With a whoosh sound, they all gathered into a cloud of white wind and drifted towards the distance.
"Humph"
A cold snort came from nowhere, and a cloud of yellow light condensed into a huge yellow hand, directly grabbing those small cloud of insect clouds in its hand.
"Which fellow cultivator is saving me? This concubine is extremely grateful." Bai Xinyao was not stupid, and immediately knew that a monk had taken action to save her.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, long time no see." A erratic voice came from the sky.
Bai Xinyao looked up and saw a black-clothed youth standing next to the yellow hand at some point. Seeing the youth's
face, she felt a little familiar. After another look, he
immediately remembered a person, and exclaimed in surprise, "You, are Zhang, Senior Zhang."
"It seems that the fairy still remembers me." Zhang Ling smiled and retracted the yellow light hand. The White Rice Worms grabbed inside were all imprisoned by him and stored into the spirit beast bag.
Zhang Ling's figure swayed and landed on the ground, looking at Bai Xinyao. This woman's image was very disheveled, and without his intervention, she would likely have lost her life here.
"Thank you, Senior Zhang, for saving my life." Bai Xinyao came back to her senses, retracted those scarlet beads, and greeted Zhang Ling with a salute.
"Fairy is too polite, it's just a small effort. You and I are considered old acquaintances, we can address each other as equals. Looking at your appearance, you were also swept into this place by that black water, right?" Zhang Ling casually asked.
Bai Xinyao smiled wryly and explained her situation. The situation was similar to what he had guessed, which also proved that there must be many monks who had been transmitted to this place.
With this woman's cultivation level being able to arrive here safely, then half a day ago, the Nascent Soul old monsters in Yanhsia City, whether they were alien demon clan monks or monks from their side, were probably scattered in this space.
Zhang Ling did not believe that those ghost king sect monks would be so kind as to open a special secret realm for them to enter and explore treasures. He absolutely did not believe that they had any good intentions in bringing these people here.
Seeing Zhang Ling suddenly not speaking, dazed. Bai Xinyao called out. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you know what this place is? What was the matter with the black water in Yanhsia City before?"
This woman had obviously not figured out the situation. Zhang Ling smiled and roughly explained the situation.
After listening, Bai Xinyao's face was very surprised. She originally thought it was the alien demon clan doing it, but she didn't expect it to be the ghost king sect monks.
"Ghost King Sect, she seems to have seen this sect in ancient books, it seems to have been destroyed."
"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Bai plans to do next, will you explore alone, or...?" Zhang Ling suddenly asked.
"If Senior Zhang doesn't mind my low cultivation level, this concubine is willing to follow you and act together."
Zhang Ling smiled, "But I have to say in advance, this place is strange, the yin evil energy is strong, and there are dangers. If we encounter dangers that I can't resist, well, then we can only escape on our own."
Bai Xinyao nodded without thinking and responded.
Zhang Ling released a small piece of Tianxing covering this woman and moved forward together. He had his own considerations in bringing this woman. Although Bai Xinyao's cultivation level was not high, she came from a family of formation masters and was very proficient in the art of formations, which might come in handy.
……
On the other side, the ghost-faced youth "Yan Shimin", with two elders in the early stage of Nascent Soul, arrived at a rocky area in a valley.
The red-faced little ghost who led them stopped here and directly transformed into a gust of yin wind and disappeared.
"Young master, this is the place." The black-robed elder on the left landed on the ground and released his divine sense to search.
Another Nascent Soul elder, who was short, was a half-man-tall dwarf and also a bald man. He also had a string of pitch-black prayer beads hanging around his neck, and the prayer beads at the bottom dropped to his feet treasure.
It looked a little uncoordinated. This person also landed on the ground and searched.
After a while, the two elders searched the area of more than ten miles nearby, and only found seven or eight broken skeletons.
"Young master, there is no big discovery. These skeletons are all former disciples of my Ghost King Sect. You see the identity tokens on their bodies, it may be that these tokens were sensed by the Ghost King Order." The dwarf monk said with great disappointment and threw the remaining skeletons on the ground.
Yan Shimin did not answer, and always stood in place. At this time, the red umbrella he was carrying on his back had already flew up and was constantly rotating above his head.
He was naturally using such means to investigate this area.
Suddenly, a ray of green light darted out from the ground and quickly drilled into the red umbrella. A two- or three-year-old child with braids and a一件(件: piece) of green bib around his body appeared under the umbrella with a flash of green light, coming with a burst of giggling.
It looked like an ordinary child, but the child's face was lit by a layer of green light, and a green ghost face was also revealed on his back. He giggled and landed on Yan Shimin's shoulder, murmuring as if telling something.
"The young master's yin ghost spirit boy has already reached this level." The dwarf monk showed an envious look.
"Hey hey, ghost tou tuo, do you also want to refine five side ghost boy." The black-robed elder laughed strangely.
"Five side ghost boy, offering conditions are harsh. I can't refine it, only a young master like you with the nine evil dark yin spirit body can control it." ghost tou tuo patted his head with a face full of smiles.
While these two Nascent Soul elders were speaking, four more rays of yin energy flew out from the ground and all rushed into the umbrella, transforming into four other ghost boys.
Only saw a ghost boy with pitch-black all over, still grabbing a handle of broken black knife in his hand, another red face ghost boy, both hands pinching a piece of red token, and a root long strip-shaped black wooden piece, it looks like tearing from the bamboo slips.
" hey, this broken black knife, could it be my sect's imitation spirit treasure black moon blade." ghost tou tuo eyes lit and immediately staring at the handle broken black knife.
This handle black knife looked short half, shape is a bit weird, looks like neither knife nor sword. The knife handle is presenting gray and white, like some spirit bone made. Above lingering some weird black runes, surrounding into a few hideous ghost heads.
"Yes, this treasure is the black moon blade, looks broken though, but not destroyed. spirituality seems higher than recorded." Yan Shimin face revealed some joy, grab this handle black blade gently waved, this handle black blade like live of, a sudden transforming into a strip black snake, hiss a sound, the front a piece large and small stone blocks are all cut into two halves.
"Congratulations young master, happy to get this treasure." ghost tou tuo immediately patted flattery called.
"Well, two elders, etc. to the piece ghost peach willow forest, less you good. Yan Shimin gently pointed a down black blade, will this piece imitation spirit treasure receive up.
Then grabbing up another two items, he first looked at that red token, playing a few rays magic seal, this token trembling a down emitting a group yin qi, gathered into a faint black skull.
Three people's divine sense sweeps, there is a section information passed into their brain.
"Originally my sect ten thousand years ago, that ghost knife elder identity token, this position senior but name sound not small. No wonder will find this handle black moon blade in this place." The black robe elder shaking shaking head said.
"Go, my sect senior did not do things, I and others this time will certainly succeed." Yan Shimin light snorting a sound, will receive up the token, as for that black wooden piece, naturally also receive up, and did not explain what this is.
ghost tou tuo, and black robe elder feel that black wooden piece seems to have seen in where, two people look at each other one eye, this may be another piece of token of Sect elder. They sensible did not ask more questions, followed Yan Shimin left this place.
……
Time passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, one day passed.
This piece space no day, the sky always hanging three round strange moon, then from west to east move.
Zhang Ling also noticed along with the three round moon move, this three round moon shape is also slowly happening change.
That wheel of the brightest white moon began to become hazy, constantly diluting. Behind followed the green moon gradually brightened, the last blood moon, brightness also raised a lot.
As time goes by, three round month will rotate, sub-primary change.
"White girl, your Luo Tian plate can measure out the specific position of this place." Huo Lao's voice suddenly from Zhang Ling next to coming. This old man looked at Bai Xinyao and asked.
One day, Zhang Ling with Bai Xinyao also encountered a few monks. One is the alien demon clan Nascent Soul old monster, there is also the alien demon clan Golden Core monk.
In feel that two alien demon clan monk, A Ling did not close, will avoid far away.
Until an hour ago, by chance encountered this position, Tian Mu City's Huo Lao, even because of this they are now three people together rush.
Bai Xinyao shook his head, and nodded and said. "Huo senior, my Luo Tian plate although did not measure out the specific position of this piece space, but this piece space sky's stars are extremely bright, I observed a array, is not fantasy, is real exist.
According to younger generation's observation, east of that three stars connected into a line of stars, seems to be red light star, this in our North plain immortal world also can see. And three stars red light star special, fixed unchanged. With this as a reference, younger generation speculate, this piece space may be in the southern boundless sea area."
" red light star"
Zhang Ling also glanced a eye the sky of the stars, saw the thousands of stars, there are three slightly gleaming red light of the star, always unchanged.
In the immortal hundred arts, of course also have star gazing technique. Like some good at find spirit vein of the monk, to star gazing technique are multi have dabbled.
Most array masters are also proficient in star gazing technique, like some high-deep array, some need traction star power to start.
There are also some array, even to wait special celestial phenomena, can exert the power.
Bai Xinyao is array master, through star gazing technique, speculate they now place of the area. Although will not have accurate answer but the general position or can be observed.
