Chapter 831 Undercurrent in the Calm
The appearance of Wu Yan undoubtedly surprised many people. Leng Yao of the Ice God Temple was more surprised, while the people of the Sand Sea Gang and the Fairy Alliance were probably more worried. Especially the Yu family, who had a grudge against Wu Yan, had been trying to avoid meeting Wu Yan since he showed up, as if they were afraid that Wu Yan would cause trouble for them.
In fact, the Yu family had been saying bad things about Wu Yan in front of the old demon Shi these days. Especially after the Yu family learned that Wu Yan also had a grudge against the Sand Sea Gang, they were extremely fortunate, and even had contact with some elders of the Sand Sea Gang in private, secretly encouraging them.
However, the Yu family knew how to judge the situation at this time, knowing that they could not fight Wu Yan in the forbidden area of Lingxu Medicine Valley, and would never dare to conflict with Wu Yan again in public. But it was the constant instigation of the Yu family that led to the emergence of some people in the Sand Sea Gang and the Fairy Alliance who had ulterior motives towards Wu Yan.
At this time, Wu Yan and Leng Yao of the Ice God Temple came together. This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, especially those who had other ideas about Wu Yan, and immediately made the faces of some people become a little gloomy.
Previously, the Sand Sea Gang and the Demon Immortal Alliance had joined forces to break the forbidden formation that Wu Yan arranged outside the medicine garden and entered the medicine garden that had become a ruin. Kou Biao and Shi Lao Yao were deeply shocked and envious of Wu Yan's digging up the entire medicine garden.
The two of them also relied on their super insight to vaguely realize that the reason why Wu Yan did this was probably because he dug up a good-grade medicine vein. This kind of harvest has made the two of them a little crazy with envy. If it is possible, Kou Biao and Shi Lao Yao would even want to destroy Wu Yan now and take away the treasures of the medicine garden and medicine veins on him.
The two of them were now very sure that Wu Yan had a secret, and this secret could actually hide from Wan Chongshan, a great cultivator in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. This made the two of them want to get the treasure on Wu Yan even more.
However, looking at Wu Yan's current relationship with Leng Yao of the Ice God Temple, it seemed that it was unusual, far from being a simple temporary cooperative relationship as everyone had previously guessed. This made Kou Biao and Shi Lao Yao feel more and more daunted.
Of course, the most critical factor that really made Kou Biao and Shi Lao Yao want to take away the treasure on Wu Yan was related to the stone house hidden at the bottom of the medicine garden. Both parties had sent seven disciples to investigate, but except for Fox Zhou of the Demon Immortal Alliance, the other thirteen disciples who went down all died at the other end of the teleportation array.
After Fox Zhou came out, he was repeatedly interrogated by Kou Biao and Shi Lao Yao. The two learned some information about the situation below from Fox Zhou and knew the existence of the Xuanji Fire Ant Colony. However, Hu Zhou did not tell them that he had sensed Wu Yan down there, nor did he tell them about the "Immortal Black Bone".
When asked how Hu Zhou could escape from the siege of the Xuanji Fire Ants, Hu Zhou said that he had a sixth-level air-breaking talisman, and he used it when the Xuanji Fire Ants just appeared, so he was able to escape calmly.
Although Kou Biao and Shi Lao Yao were very suspicious of Hu Zhou's statement, they did not investigate it for the time being.
This time when they entered the forbidden area of Lingxu Medicine Valley, they naturally had the air-breaking talisman given by the elders of their sect. Originally, after hearing that there was a Xuanji Fire Ant colony down there, the two even had the intention of going down to explore it.
After all, their two sects have a deep foundation, and of course they know how powerful the Xuanji Fire Ant colony is. I am afraid that even if their sect masters come, they will never dare to go down to face those Xuanji Fire Ants, let alone them. However, the more dangerous the place is, it often means that there will be great opportunities.
However, when the two of them noticed that the rules of some places in that first-level immortal formation had changed, they finally gave up the idea of going down to find out.
Both of them guessed that this change was most likely because a certain secret treasure below had been taken away, which was why this happened. Of course, both of them felt that Wu Yan must have gone down, and Wu Yan appeared here at this moment, which made them more convinced that Wu Yan must have a great secret.
The treasure that was taken away was either on Wu Yan or on this Hu Zhou. You know, Hu Zhou's current cultivation level is the late stage of the great perfection of the spirit transformation, but when he went down, he was only the middle stage of the incarnation.
In just half a day, Hu Zhou's cultivation level has undergone such a strange change, which fully shows that this guy must have gained a lot of benefits down there.
In fact, the two of them had great doubts about Wu Yan and Hu Zhou, especially Hu Zhou. They always felt that this guy seemed to have undergone extremely terrible changes, but what exactly was the change, they couldn't see for a while.
Now, although on the surface the two did not show much attention to Wu Yan's appearance, and even went up to greet Wu Yan, it seemed that it was just a polite greeting, but in fact, at this moment, Kou Biao and Shi Laoyao had more ideas.
Kou Biao had secretly decided and even selected a disciple in the late stage of transformation. If he could successfully enter the third level this time, this core disciple of the Shahai Gang selected by him would use the golden pass at the first time to leave the forbidden area in advance and return to the sect to contact his father, the fierce Kou Kou Wushuang.
In any case, Kou Biao firmly believed that the secrets of Wu Yan and Hu Zhou were worth investigating. As long as Kou Wushuang could capture these two people and force them to tell him the treasures they had obtained in the volcanic pit in the second forbidden area, it would be of great benefit to him and even to the Shahai Gang.
As for the old demon Shi, Kou Biao could guess that this person must have the same idea as himself. However, Kou Biao was not worried about any accidents. He had absolute confidence in his father. Even if Wu Yan had told him before that Wan Chongshan had designed to seriously injure his father, in fact, he did not take it to heart.
He knew his father's magical powers very well, and he knew that his father Kou Wushuang had a secret identity that no one knew. This identity was enough to make Yang Shan, the lord of Lingxu City, absolutely afraid, not to mention Wan Chongshan and the people of the Demon Immortal Alliance.
If Wan Chongshan could seriously injure his father, it would be absolutely a joke. In his opinion, it was very likely that his father deliberately showed weakness, which led to the scene Wu Yan had mentioned before.
In fact, the old demon Shi also had similar ideas and plans. What outsiders don't know is that the inheritance of the Demon Immortal Alliance is also not just the little bit that is shown in the Lingxu Land.
Shi Laoyao is considered a direct disciple of the Demon Immortal Alliance and vaguely knows some of the origins of the Demon Immortal Alliance. According to the elders in his sect, the Demon Immortal Alliance is a branch stationed in the Lingxu Land by a super-large sect in the Demon Spirit Realm of the Four Major Immortal Realms in the Immortal Realm.
It is said that as early as when this Lingxu Land was formed, especially after the appearance of Lingxu City, the super-large sect in the Demon Spirit Realm sent core disciples to the lower world to act secretly and set up a branch.
Even Yang Shan, the lord of Lingxu City, may not know this secret. As for why the super-large sect set up a branch here, Shi Laoyao really didn't know, but this did not affect his confidence in the Demon Immortal Alliance.
Kou Biao and Shi Laoyao were both thinking about their own thoughts at this time, and when they occasionally looked at Wu Yan, they more or less revealed some clues. And Wu Yan, who was communicating with Leng Yao, of course, also noticed something strange. However, Wu Yan also knew that after experiencing the things in the second forbidden area, it was normal for those guys to have some other ideas about him.
He was not afraid of a direct conflict with these people. The only thing he was considering now was how to get out smoothly after the exploration of the third forbidden area.
He knew very well that some of his secrets must have attracted the attention of several parties. In fact, Wu Yan also fully believed that as long as he entered the third forbidden area, it was very likely that the core disciples of the four sects would try to send disciples out first to contact the top leaders of the four sects.
The worst situation might be that the top leaders of the four major sects were blocked outside the teleportation array, waiting for the group of people who were lucky enough to walk out of the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden area. Especially people like him who carried secrets would definitely become the focus of attention of many forces.
However, Wu Yan, who had successfully advanced to the seventh-level array master, was not too worried about the possibility of being blocked outside the teleportation array. The teleportation distance of one of the two teleportation arrays he had previously refined reached a terrifying hundreds of thousands of miles. As long as he can arrange and debug this teleportation array smoothly, he still has a chance to get away.
However, if Kou Biao and Shi Laoyao really dare to attack him, he doesn't mind getting rid of them in this forbidden area. Wu Yan knew that most of the things that the Shahai Gang and the Demon Immortal Alliance got from exploring in this forbidden area were controlled by these two people. It is probably unrealistic to say that Wu Yan has no thoughts about these two guys.
At this time, several days have passed since entering the second level of the forbidden area, and the most secret medicine garden in the second level of the forbidden area has been broken open by everyone. Except for the mysterious volcanic pit under the first level of the immortal formation, there are no other valuable secret places. However, the high-level officials who really know the inside story know that there may be no valuable treasures in the volcanic pit. In this way, after the high-level officials met and discussed, everyone naturally decided to go directly to the third level of the forbidden area.
Immediately, Kou Biao and Shi Laoyao each sacrificed a sky-breaking flying boat, carrying the disciples of their respective sects, entered the space crack, and went to the third level of the forbidden area.
Wu Yan did not use his own sky-breaking shuttle, but at Leng Yao's invitation, he boarded the Ice Temple's sky-breaking spaceship and traveled with the Ice Temple monks. As for those independent cultivators, those with strength naturally used their own sky-breaking treasures, while those without financial resources had to rely on those powerful independent cultivators, and they also poured into the space cracks and headed towards the third level of the forbidden land.
From beginning to end, no one found the whereabouts of the Wan brothers, but no one was stupid enough to believe that the three brothers would perish on the second level. Of course, since the three did not enter the space cracks before them, everyone had one less worry, and they did not take the three too seriously.
Calculating the time, everyone has only been in the first two levels of the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden land for less than a month. There are still five months before the forbidden land is closed, and everyone can't help but sigh.
Thinking that there are still five months to explore the secrets of the third level of the forbidden land, everyone's emotions are unprecedentedly high again. You know, the treasures in the third level of forbidden land are the truly valuable treasures. As long as you get one of them, it may be worth all the gains in the second level.
