Chapter 216: Detouring the Mountain Range and Patrolling the Teleportation Nodes
Not long after Su Yi came out of the bronze gate, a stream of white-haired old men slowly walked out.
However, their faces were filled with disappointment. Immediately, many of the old men left the valley without saying a word.
The old men who left understood that the following actions were not something they could participate in without the support of the forces behind them. They might as well return to the great desolate region to properly develop their families.
Moreover, they did not have many years left in their lifespans, and it was time for them to break through to the core formation realm.
Currently, there were only a few old men left in this valley.
Tang Shang of the Tang clan, Old Man Lu of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Xuan Lingzi of the Sword Pavilion, and Xu Que of the Xu clan. Among them was an old man from the Sima clan who had not said anything for a long time.
Old Man Sima looked around, intending to slowly leave this place.
At this moment, Tang Shang suddenly spoke.
“Old Ghost Sima, are you leaving?”
Old Man Sima slowly turned to Tang Shang and glanced at him indifferently. A gentle breeze slowly blew past the valley, lifting up the old man’s long white hair.
One could only hear old man Sima slowly speak.
“I am not like you. Although that Junior has obtained the Jade Lotus of Destiny, I am not so shameless as to use the strength of my clan to encircle and suppress a junior. I am not afraid of being laughed at if word were to spread. Moreover, this old man does not have much time left. It is time for me to prepare to break through to that realm.”
After saying this, old man Sima ignored the gloomy-faced Tang Shang and slowly left the valley.
Tang Shang stared viciously at Old Man Sima. His chest rose and fell slightly, but he could only endure it. The strength of the Sima clan was even stronger than her Tang Clan in the central sky region.
Perhaps Old Man Sima would not be too concerned with the matter of the Jade Lotus of Destiny, but to them, it was something that they had to obtain.
After Old Man Sima left, Tang Shang turned his head to look at the few people standing beside him and said, “everyone, I don’t know where this child, Su Yi, has gone to. However, as long as we lock down the Central Plains, I believe he will have nowhere to go. I don’t believe that he can stay in the great desolate for a few months!”
Hearing this, the remaining few old men slowly nodded, each secretly thinking about how to carry out this plan.
Tang Shang then continued, “I, Tang Shang, will naturally mobilize my Tang clan members to the Central Plains. At the same time, Old Ghost Xu will do the same. As the original forces of the Central Plains, you should know what to do, right?”
“Before our clan forces arrive, do everything possible to investigate that little brat Su Yi. Notify us when he is entering Central Plains City. I’ll leave this to the two of you.”
He looked at Xuan Lingzi and the old man surnamed Lu from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Currently, only the two of them had the ability to quickly mobilize the Central Plains’ forces.
As expected, Tang Shang soon revealed a satisfied expression. This was because in his eyes, the two people who represented the Central Plains’ forces nodded their heads slowly. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with the plan.
In any case, everyone wanted Su Yi dead. Their goals were practically the same.
…
In the Demon Subduing Mountain range, Su Yi was moving rapidly towards the depths. If he were to return to the Central Plains from his original path, he might be caught by those old men.
However, he had underestimated the determination of Tang Shang and the others to deal with him. He had never expected that the other party would actually use their clan’s power to seal the Central Plains of the great desolate, in order to make him walk right into their trap.
At this moment, he turned his head to look behind him. After discovering that there was no longer any movement within the Demon Subduing Mountain range, his speed slowly came to a halt.
He looked at the vegetation that covered the entire mountain and said indifferently, “looks like they didn’t catch up.”
Thinking up to this point, he let out a slight sigh of relief. He was only lucky to be able to obtain the Jade Lotus of Destiny.
If he really had to face those old men, with his current strength, he would definitely lose in less than two rounds.
He looked into the distance, thinking about his situation. He had already entered the forbidden land of the great desolate for a few days, and he did not know how the girls were doing.
After that, he chose a direction and left this place.
The Demon Subduing Mountain range was very big. In order not to bump into those old men, he planned to cross the Demon Subduing Mountain range and then return to the Central Plains from the other side.
…
Two days later, a figure appeared on a road outside the Demon Subduing Mountain range.
There were no trees that blotted out the sky or the endless wilderness around this road. It was just an ordinary road.
On this road, there were cultivators passing by from time to time. It looked like a group of foundation establishment realm demon hunters were heading to the Demon Subduing Mountain range to hunt for demon beasts.
It could be seen that at the end of this road, there should be a teleportation array node to return to the Central Plains.
Due to the erosion of demonic qi, the demon beasts in the Demon Subduing Mountain range became powerful and strange. As a result, no cultivator dared to enter the Demon Subduing Mountain range.
That’s why there’s a shortage of materials in Central Plains.
When the source of the demonic qi was disintegrated, the city lord of the Central Plains issued a notice. The demon beast hunter squads started to be active in the Demon Subduing Mountain again.
Looking at the cultivators who come and go, some of them were happy, some of them were sad. This was because some of them had a fruitful harvest, while some did not get anything at all.
He slowly walked on this path in a very good mood.
This trip had not only solved the problem of the five elements essence needed for the advancement of the celestial-grade core formation cultivation technique, the Five Elements Heaven Vein Mantra.
He had also obtained the spiritual treasure of Heaven and Earth, the Jade Lotus of Destiny, which could speed up his cultivation. His harvest had been quite bountiful.
Moreover, he did not know when, but a new skill had appeared on his slim interface.
The Heart Sword Technique.
He had heard that Little Xie had used this technique before. It was a technique that specifically targeted the soul and was extremely powerful.
As for why he had obtained it, he had asked Little Xie on the way here from the Demon Subduing Mountain range. Apparently, it was just an inheritance in that forbidden land.
After that, no matter how much he asked, Little Xie did not say a word.
As for this Heart Sword Technique, even if it was directly passed down to his mind, it was also gray in color and could not be used at all. Perhaps it was similar to the Sword Control Technique, which could only be used when one reached the core formation realm.
The figure walked slowly and soon, he saw the node of a teleportation array.
From afar, he could see cultivators walking out and in from time to time. They were all heading to or returning from the Demon Subduing Mountain.
Suddenly, he focused his gaze on the teleportation array node. He seemed to have seen something unusual.
There seemed to be a few cultivators who did not leave the teleportation array node or enter the teleportation array node. They just wandered around the teleportation array node as if they were looking for someone.
Moreover, their clothes were all gray and had the mark of a sword.
Immediately, his gaze turned cold as he muttered.
“It seems that the Sword Pavilion is still unwilling to give up.”
