“Junior brother, don't be fooled by what this old guy says, this matter does indeed have some danger. The Alien Demons are not to be trifled with. If a Nascent Soul stage cultivator that we cannot defeat really appears, just focus on escaping.”
During the flight, Zhang Ling kept hearing the voice transmission from Senior Brother Tianfeng in his ear.
“Senior brother, don't worry, I will act according to the circumstances.” Zhang Ling replied.
This Old Taoist Ziyun, suddenly visiting their Haoyuan Sect, seeking out Old Ancestor Tianfeng, and even wanting to bring him along, this matter is not simple.
Moreover, it is very urgent at this time, so there will naturally be danger.
More than an hour ago, Old Taoist Ziyun received a secret voice transmission from the Twelve Immortal Cities, saying that a pair of hidden Alien Demon cultivators would pass through the Cangyun Kingdom today.
He must intercept them.
Old Taoist Ziyun is the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect. The reason why he received such a voice transmission secret letter is because he has another special identity, serving as an honorary elder of the Twelve Immortal Cities.
This title usually has no effect, but it does provide some assistance to the sect.
Speaking of which, Senior Brother Tianfeng was also invited in his early years, but at that time, Old Ancestor Tianfeng was busy with closed-door cultivation to break through his realm and didn't want to bother with these trivial matters. So he didn't agree.
As for why he agreed to Old Taoist Ziyun to intercept the Alien Demons this time.
The main reason is that as long as the Alien Demons are intercepted, the Twelve Immortal Cities will naturally show some appreciation, and it's not a problem to ask for some cultivation resources.
This is profitable.
Old Ancestor Tianfeng, for the development of the sect, cannot but give face to the Twelve Immortal Cities. Of course, Old Ancestor Tianfeng also wants to get closer to the Immortal Cities.
Building a good relationship will make it easier for the sect to open shops and other trading places in the Immortal Cities, which can better develop the sect.
Especially recently, the sect's power has expanded a lot, so it is necessary to make more good connections.
Another reason is that Old Ancestor Tianfeng and Old Taoist Ziyun are friends of many years.
Furthermore, their Haoyuan Sect, Qingyun Sect, and other sects are inherently connected. Although there is also competition, they inevitably have to help each other in some external matters.
This kind of personal relationship cannot be completely avoided by cultivators.
Old Ancestor Tianfeng, as the head of a faction and the person in power of the sect, has to consider many aspects and is best at handling this kind of thing.
Zhang Ling understood Senior Brother Tianfeng's thoughts after thinking about it, so he couldn't refuse. After all, he had to contribute to matters that were beneficial to the sect.
Of course, he didn't pay too much attention to the possible dangers.
During this period, his cultivation progress has indeed accelerated a lot, and his cultivation base has increased slightly. He believes that even against a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator, there won't be too much of a problem.
At this moment, the place they are flying to is, coincidentally, in the direction of Falling Star City.
According to intelligence, there are about six or seven Alien Demons, who entered the territory of Cangyun Kingdom from another country in the east more than an hour ago, and seem to be planning to cross the Falling Star Mountain Range.
Originally, there was also a team of cultivators chasing the Alien Demons, who were guards of the Twelve Immortal Cities, but their cultivation level was only at the Golden Core stage. They accidentally discovered the traces of the Alien Demons.
The leading Golden Core stage cultivator thought that these Alien Demons were just ordinary spies and were only at the Golden Core stage, so he planned to capture them.
However, as soon as they started fighting, the situation reversed. There was actually a Nascent Soul old monster among the Alien Demons, who instantly killed them all.
The leading Immortal City guard notified the Immortal City with a secret method before he died, which led to this matter. According to the returned message, the Nascent Soul old monster who took action seemed to be at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
The Immortal City immediately contacted Old Ancestor Ziyun, asking him to find a way to intercept this group of Alien Demons.
As long as they can temporarily stall the Alien Demons, the several Nascent Soul elders sent out by the Immortal City will arrive in at most one or two hours.
……
Zhang Ling and the other two flew with all their strength, and it took them less than an hour to approach the Falling Star Mountain Range.
“Brother Ziyun, the Falling Star Mountain Range is not small. Even if the three of us search with all our strength, it will take at least a day. Moreover, that team of Alien Demons must have hidden their traces. Searching openly may not find them at all.” Old Ancestor Tianfeng asked.
“It is extremely difficult to discover cultivators of our level if they intentionally hide their traces.”
“This matter is indeed a bit difficult, but I have already thought of a countermeasure.” Old Taoist Ziyun, who was flying in the front, said with a glint in his eyes.
“What we can be sure of now is that we have arrived here before that team of Alien Demons. After all, they don't know that a few hours ago, the Immortal City guards who intercepted them sent a message to the Immortal City before they died. To intercept them, we have to rely on this time difference to do something.”
“Even so, the time we and the Alien Demons pass through here will not deviate too much. What is the countermeasure? We have to discuss it now. It is better for you to make the decision on this matter.”
“Haha, with Brother Tianfeng's words, I am relieved. After this matter, consider that I owe both of you a favor.” Hearing this, Old Taoist Ziyun smiled slightly, and then quickly shaking his Taoist robe, from which flew out measure word of white orbs the size of fists.
There were as many as thirty or forty measure word.
“ expression of surprise, the Bai family's induction orbs, you actually brought so many.” Seeing these white orbs, Old Ancestor Tianfeng's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of understanding.
Zhang Ling also glanced at these orbs, which seemed to be some kind of formation props.
“That's right, these are the induction orbs refined by the Bai family, who are proficient in formation in our Cangyun Kingdom. These induction orbs were hastily dismantled by me from the mountain-protecting grand formation. I trouble you two to bury these induction orbs in the Falling Star Mountain Range. As long as there are Alien Demons passing by, the induction orbs will be able to sense.”
“This old guy has made these preparations. It's good to have so many induction orbs to save us a lot of effort.” Old Ancestor Tianfeng seemed to be quite familiar with these induction orbs as well, and chuckled.
“One induction orb can sense an area of about two hundred chinese unit of length, about km nearby. This cyan orb is a small formation plate that controls the induction orbs. With this, you can investigate the situation of each induction orb. We bury these induction orbs on the necessary route, and once there is any movement, the cyan orb will issue a warning.” Old Taoist Ziyun flipped his hand again and took out two cyan orbs. He turned his head and smiled at Zhang Ling.
Obviously, he was explaining the usage of induction orbs to him. Zhang Ling also smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Old Taoist Ziyun waved his hand, and eighteen induction orbs and one cyan orb flew to Zhang Ling.
Senior Brother Tianfeng also collected the same number of induction orbs and cyan orb.
The three of them discussed the strategy to deal with the enemy. In fact, there was nothing to discuss. As soon as they discovered the traces of the Alien Demons, they would immediately notify the other two to intercept them.
In a moment, they flew into the Falling Star Mountain Range. They flew directly towards the other end of the Falling Star Mountain Range. After a quarter of an hour, the three of them separated.
The directions of the three people did not deviate too much, but there were some offsets between them.
Old Taoist Ziyun's direction remained unchanged, flying straight towards the due west. Old Ancestor Tianfeng was on the right, and Zhang Ling was on the left.
Zhang Ling quickly flew, spent a cup of tea time, after flying hundreds of chinese unit of length, about km. He saw a a slice of gray-black rock mountain range.
Among these rock, you can occasionally see some flame traces. As well as strands of of smoke and dust aura.
This is the central area of the mountain range. There is very little vegetation here. Entering this area, the nearby temperature has become much higher.
Zhang Ling could keenly feel that the air was blowing a hot wind. The sky, which was clear and boundless just now, has become gray and dull here.
The most core place of the Falling Star Mountain Range is a huge sinkhole, which is a a slice of scorching sun land formed by the falling of stars. That is the burning flame valley secret realm that he once entered and exited.
Most of the time, it is in a sealed state.
When they were discussing countermeasures just now, they naturally could not ignore the geographical environment of the Falling Star Mountain Range. The entire Falling Star Mountain Range is not small, but the middle section is most suitable for intercepting that pair of Alien Demons because it is in the sealed area.
Because the situation of the Falling Star Mountain Range is not a secret. As long as high- level cultivators have the intention to inquire, they all know the situation here.
If cultivators want to cross the Falling Star Mountain Range, the must-pass place is the central area.
Of course, generally only high- level cultivators above the Golden Core stage will choose to cross it. Low- level cultivators entering this area is not without danger.
If that team of Alien Demons did not take the Falling Star Mountain Range route at all and bypassed it from another direction, their intercepting plan would fail.
Zhang Ling was hoping so, after all, the intelligence said that there was at least one mid-Nascent Soul old monster among the Alien Demons. He didn't want to face such a strong enemy.
But he agreed to this matter, if the Alien Demons really passed by here and encountered him, then there was nothing to say.
He was thinking about two results in his mind, flew over the rock mountain in front of him, took out a induction orb from his hand, landed to a certain position, and buried the induction orb in the soil.
He did not stop and flew to the more left side.
Every two hundred chinese unit of length, about km, he buried a induction. After he finished releasing eighteen induction orbs, two quarter of an hour had passed.
He spent a little time searching the area of thousands of chinese unit of length, about km on the left, and after finding nothing, Zhang Ling landed on a low mountain according to the plan, concealed his figure, and waited.
Time passed by little by little.
An hour later, Zhang Ling opened his eyes and glanced at the cyan orb in his hand. There was only a faint layer of spiritual light on it, without any change.
He thought in his heart that the time was not short. According to their speculation, if the Alien Demons really passed by here, they should have arrived.
The induction orb did not find any movement, and the other two did not issue a warning.
It seems that it is really possible that they will not pass by here. There is another possibility that this team of Alien Demons is proficient in the art of concealment, careful and cautious, and has been hiding their aura.
Maybe they have already passed through.
This probability is actually not small. If this is the case, then they can only return without success.
At that time, the task of intercepting the Alien Demons will not be their business. It will be a headache for the Twelve Immortal Cities.
Just as Zhang Ling was thinking this, suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his hand, and a yellow spirit talisman flew up. Senior Brother Tianfeng's voice came from it.
“Old Taoist Ziyun, Junior Brother Zhang, I have a situation here, but whether it is an Alien Demon or not, I have to get closer to investigate. You be prepared to come to aid at any time.”
Zhang Ling flicked his finger, and a streak of spiritual light hit the voice transmission talisman. The voice transmission talisman shook, and strands of of yellow light floated out, quickly outlining a simple map.
It is the terrain environment of the nearby thousands of chinese unit of length, about km area.
This is a special thousand li voice transmission talisman, which was given to them by Old Taoist Ziyun when they separated, which can transmit voice to each other.
As for the simple map displayed above, it is not the effect of the voice transmission talisman itself. It is a small spell that is blessed.
As long as you carry this voice transmission talisman on your body, the area that the three of them have scattered and walked through will outline a simple map. Can quickly judge the position of the three people.
This simple small spell can be easily mastered by Nascent Soul cultivators.
At this moment, there are three green light spots flashing on this map. It is the position of the three of them. The green light spot on the far right moved quickly.
Obviously, Senior Brother Tianfeng started to move towards the place where the target was discovered.
Zhang Ling stared at the green light spot moving without expression. After a cup of tea, Senior Brother Tianfeng's green light spot stopped moving. Roughly estimated the distance that senior brother moved, it was about five or six hundred chinese unit of length, about km.
Stopping the move represents that there may be nothing to discover, or that he may have already seen that team of Alien Demons.
Sure enough, the yellow voice transmission talisman vibrated了一下 in the next moment, and Senior Brother Tianfeng's voice came again. “Target found.”
Hearing the simple words, Zhang Ling clapped his hands and stood up. With a shake of his figure, he directly grabbed the voice transmission talisman and transformed into a streak of spiritual light flew out.
……
At the same time, Old Ancestor Tianfeng concealed his figure and was following a faint spiritual light far away.
That was a faint gray light, which ordinary cultivators could not easily discover. A induction orb that had just been buried here detected the abnormality. He hurried over and carefully searched it two or three times, and captured a little special spiritual power fluctuations.
Following the spiritual power fluctuations, he found this streak of gray light in front of him.
Old Ancestor Tianfeng's eyes were flashing with golden light, and he could feel that the faint gray light was revealing a trace of demonic energy. It was highly likely that it was that team of Alien Demons.
But for a while, he couldn't judge how many people were in the gray light.
This streak of gray light is not the escaping light of cultivators. It is more like the spiritual light revealed by some flying treasure. The flying speed is not fast, only equivalent to the speed of Golden Core mid- and late-stage cultivators flying with all their strength.
But the stealth is extremely strong. If he hadn't broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul realm and his spiritual sense had been enhanced a bit, he would have almost ignored it.
Old Ancestor Tianfeng carefully followed the gray light while waiting for his companions to arrive.
In the blink of an eye, a cup of tea time passed again. Old Ancestor Tianfeng glanced at the voice transmission talisman in his hand and judged the position based on the above. Zhang Shidi and Ziyun Old Taoist were quickly approaching and were not far away.
At this moment, Old Ancestor Tianfeng felt that the surrounding air was a bit cold. He casually glanced at the vicinity and found that he had unknowingly crossed the central area of the Falling Star Mountain Range while following the gray light, and the vegetation surrounding had become more abundant again.
