Chapter 1456 Preparation before the Hunt
Looking at Yi Yin's serious expression, Liang Yan knew that she was worried about him.
After all, in her eyes, she is a fledgling young man who does not understand the rules of Langhuan Continent. If there is a dispute of temper in Longding Mountain and someone is killed, it will affect The entire Stone Spirit Clan.
But what she didn’t know was that even if Liang Yan didn’t take action, people would probably die in Longding Mountain.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yi, Liang has learned a lot about Langhuan Continent these days, and will not kill people just because of his anger." Liang Yan responded.
"That's good, that's good!"
Yi Yin nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with his answer.
Next, Liang Yan asked Yi Yin about some things, including the rules of hunting in Longding Mountain and the contestants that other tribes would send.
Since the ten major tribes had close contacts when they were far apart, Yi Yin also knew something about the masters of other tribes, so he told Liang Yan everything he knew.
Half an hour later, Liang Yan already had the information he wanted and stood up to say goodbye to Yi Yin.
"Little friend Liang, walk slowly. It's up to you whether we, the Stone Spirit Clan, can change our ranking this time during the Longding Mountain hunting."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yi, Liang will do his best. After all, between us We have already made an agreement." Liang Yan said with a slight smile.
"Okay!" Yi Yin nodded and said lightly, "Chunxiang and Qiuju, come to see us off!"
"No need! Liang knows it himself."
Liang Yan rejected Yi Yin, said goodbye, and walked out.
He walked through several corridors and passed through several courtyards. Just when he was about to see the exit, he inadvertently slowed down.
Hidden in his sleeve, the right hand made a secret secret and left a mark on the ground.
After doing this, Liang Yan looked as normal and walked out of Yi Yin's house very naturally.
After returning to his room, Liang Yan made a spell and felt it with his heart. He immediately understood the situation in Yiyin's residence.
“Successful.”
Liang Yan's face showed a look of satisfaction. Although his realm had fallen, the "Mirror Soul Art" was very clever. Even Yi Yin didn't notice this mark.
The reason why he did this was not to spy on Yi Yin, but on the contrary, to protect him.
The current leader of the Shiling Clan is Zheng Qiu, who is a cultivator in the early stage of Tongxuan. Liang Yan eavesdropped outside the courtyard that day and learned that the only person Zheng Qiu was afraid of was Yi Yin.
Liang Yan went back and thought about it carefully, and felt that what Zheng Qiu was afraid of was not Yi Yin's strength, but Yi Yin's "Earth Spirit Seal Technique" that he was afraid of!
The magical power Yi Yin learned from the totem is very strange. He can actually sense the conditions in other people's bodies through the ground under his feet.
It's okay if Zheng Qiu doesn't take action. Once he takes action, Yi Yin is very likely to discover his cultivation level in the early stage of Tongxuan, and his identity will be revealed by then!
It is for this reason that Zheng Qiucai said that it was not convenient for him to take action directly.
Having said that, Liang Yan was still a little worried.
Among the entire Stone Spirit clan, only Yi Yin poses some threat to Zheng Qiu. If Zheng Qiu had murderous intentions and secretly killed Yi Yin, and then followed the same pattern and replaced someone else to pretend to be Yi Yin, then it would be impossible for him to get the five-color soil.
In order to ensure that the five-color soil can be in his hands, Liang Yan must ensure Yi Yin's safety.
So under the guise of asking for information, he secretly left a mark on Yi Yin's house. If Zheng Qiu really wanted to attack Yi Yin, he would be able to sense it immediately.
When that time comes, Liang Yan will take action without hesitation.
After returning from Yi Yin's house, Liang Yan meditated in his room for three days.
During the past three days, Liang Yan thought carefully for a long time, why did the Yeming Sect kill people? There are only two possibilities.
One is that the Ye Ming Sect has a grudge against the ten major tribes. This is a vendetta.
The second is that the Ye Ming Cult wants to provoke civil strife among the ten major tribes.
The first possibility is very small. The Ye Ming Sect has masters like Zheng Qiu. If you want revenge, you can go directly to the clan leaders of the major tribes. There is no need to resort to such methods.
The second one is somewhat possible. All the Langhuan tribes regard themselves as believers of the Mother of the Earth and are prohibited from fighting each other. If there are heavy casualties in this hunt, I am afraid there will be irreconcilable conflicts between the ten tribes. contradiction.
This result is in line with the teachings of the Ye Ming Sect. They are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. The so-called "night ends and dawn" is probably to overthrow the transcendent status of Shennong Mountain and bring a new order to Langhuan Continent.
In order to create a new world, the old world must be chaotic, and the messier the better.
Zheng Qiu's conspiracy is probably just one part of it, and the same drama will be staged in different places throughout Langhuan Continent in the near future.
Liang Yan organized his thoughts and came to a conclusion.
This should be a game between the old and new forces in Langhuan Continent. I wonder if Shennongshan, as the old force, is aware of it and will he make countermeasures?
Of course, Liang Yan doesn't care about the final outcome of the game between the two parties.
Due to his fall in realm, he is restricted in all aspects, so restoring his strength and rescuing Wu Xin are what he should be concerned about.
After calming down, Liang Yan continued to meditate and enter concentration.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Liang Yan went out again and made an appointment with Lu Dayou, asking him to take him to Longding Mountain.
This time the competition between the ten major tribes takes place right at the boundary of the Shiling Clan’s sphere of influence.
The two left the village and headed west. After seven or eight days, they finally arrived at the foot of Longding Mountain.
Due to the upcoming hunting, the ten major tribes have already sent people to seal the mountain, and now no one is allowed to go up the mountain.
Lu Dayou likes to travel and has been to Longding Mountain several times before. Although he has not climbed to the top of the mountain, he is very familiar with some of the terrain on the mountain.
He took Liang Yan around the foot of Longding Mountain and spent two full days.
In the past two days, Liang Yan drew a topographic map of Longding Mountain in his mind while listening to Lu Dayou's explanation, and had a general understanding of the topography of Longding Mountain.
Sometimes he would imagine that if he were a member of the Ye Ming Cult, where would he choose to attack, and how would he escape quietly afterwards without arousing anyone's suspicion.
Soon, Liang Yan simulated various plans in his mind.
Two days later, he had almost understood the terrain of Longding Mountain. Except for the area near the top of the mountain that his spiritual consciousness could not explore, the other mountain roads had been imprinted in his mind.
Lu Dayou is a very straightforward person. He felt that Liang Yan did this to help the Stone Spirit Clan gain a better ranking, so he told everything he knew without reservation.
"Okay, let's go back."
Liang Yan patted Lu Dayou and expressed his gratitude to him.
The two returned the same way and returned to Shiling Village a few days later.
So far, Liang Yan has made all preparations and is just waiting for the day of hunting in Longding Mountain.
For thirty days, the door to Liang Yan's residence was never opened again.
He is not practicing in seclusion, because his realm can no longer be improved.
For the past thirty days, he had been reading the "Secret Scroll of Heavenly Works" in his room. Tianji Pavilion is worthy of being a major Confucian sect in ancient times. This secret volume contains all the mysteries of puppetry and weapon refining, which makes Liang Yan admire him from the bottom of his heart.
"It's such a good book. No wonder Luo Qing tried so hard to get this secret scroll. It is indeed a rare treasure!"
Liang Yan sighed with emotion, closed the secret scroll in his hand, and put it back again. In your own storage ring.
In order not to make Zheng Qiu suspicious, he stayed at home during the past thirty days and never left the house.
During this period of time, he was not concentrating on studying the "Tiangong Secret Scroll". He would often use the marks in Yiyin's mansion to inquire about some external situations.
As the high priest of the Stone Spirit Clan, Yi Yin has been in power all year round and is often visited by people.
These people are all well-established people in the Shiling clan. If they go to Yiyin's house to talk about recent events, Liang Yan will spy on them.
Liang Yan learned from their mouths that nothing major happened outside. At least before the hunting at Longding Mountain, the ten major tribes were all calm on the surface, and Zheng Qiu had no plans to attack Yi Yin for the time being.
Everything is stable, which is the best news for Liang Yan now.
So he did not leave his house, but quietly waited for the arrival of the Longding Mountain hunter.
Time flies by, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Shiling Village was bustling with people, and thousands of monks from the Shiling Tribe gathered in the square in the center of the village.
There is a high platform behind the square. There are three people standing on the platform, namely the patriarch Mu Chunhua, the high priest Yi Yin and Shenwei Lin Yi.
These three people are the three most powerful people in the Stone Spirit Clan.
"Haha, the once-in-a-decade competition has begun again. Can the warriors of our Stone Spirit Tribe get a good ranking this time and strive for more training resources for our Stone Spirit Tribe? "Mu Chunhua looked at the Shiling clan monks in the audience, twirling his beard with his hand, and said with a smile.
“Clan leader, don’t worry, we will try our best and we will never lose the reputation of our Stone Spirit Clan!”
The person who answered him was Gu Xingyun, one of the "Three Scholars of Hongyun".
At this moment, under the high platform, there are four people standing at the front.
In addition to Gu Xingyun, Luo Kai and Zhou Tong, who are ranked among the "Three Red Clouds", there is also a man in gray.
This person is naturally Liang Yan.
He stood leisurely with his hands behind his back. Although he already knew that Mu Chunhua on the stage was Zheng Qiu pretending to be, his expression did not waver at all.
In addition to the four of them, there are also "Seven Heroes of White Cloud", "Twelve Heroes of Black Cloud" and some powerful Juyuan Realm monks behind them, totaling thirty-three people in total.
These people are also going to participate in the hunting at Longding Mountain, and Mu Ying and Lu Dayou are among them.
"Don't worry, Patriarch, we will try our best!"
Everyone who was going to participate in the competition expressed their determination, and Liang Yan naturally responded.
"Mu Chunhua" had a look of satisfaction on his face, turned around and glanced at Yi Yin, and said with a smile: "High Priest, it's getting late. Let's set off immediately to Longding Mountain, right?"
"Okay!"
Yi Yin nodded without saying any more nonsense. She raised her hand and waved, and a ray of green light flew out of her sleeve.
This green light fell on the ground and turned into a dragon boat that was a hundred feet long, looking majestic.
“Get on up.”
With Yi Yin’s order, all the monks participating in the competition got on the dragon boat, and Liang Yan was no exception.
Flying to the sky and the earth is prohibited in Langhuan Continent, so this dragon boat is not a flying magic weapon.
Yi Yin stood at the bow of the boat, punched a magic spell into the restriction on the dragon boat, and embedded the spirit stone into it.
The dragon boat started quickly and set sail on the muddy land. The speed was actually no slower than the escape speed of the Golden Core monk. It soon left Shiling Village and headed towards Longding Mountain< br>
Three days later, everyone took a dragon boat and came to a majestic mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, someone has been waiting for a long time.
Liang Yan stood on the side of the boat and looked around. He saw hundreds of people in front of him, divided into seven different forces. They were all waiting quietly at this time.
Beside him, Lu Dayouzheng took the trouble to introduce:
"The group at the front is the Crimson Fire Clan', famous for their fire spells; the group due east It is the 'Dan Royal Clan', among the clan The monks are good at refining alchemy, and the group of people near the foot of the mountain are the 'Kamiwind Tribe'. They are very fast and are good at controlling strong winds."
Lu Dayou kept talking and killed all the tribes at the foot of Longding Mountain in one breath. introduced once.
Liang Yan had learned a lot of information from Yi Yin before, and now he verified what Lu Dayou said one by one. He roughly knew the strength of each tribe and who among their tribes The strongest fighting force.
While he was talking, the dragon boat had already landed.
Mu Chunhua and Yi Yin took everyone off the dragon boat and arrived at the foot of Longding Mountain.
"Haha, Chief Mu, we meet again, stay safe!"
The chief of the Kamikaze Clan was the first to come over to say hello, but Mu Chunhua just nodded slightly and did not say anything. Say more.
The leader of the Kamikaze Clan was a little embarrassed when his hot face touched someone else's cold ass, but he didn't have much to say, so he could only walk back angrily.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan sneered in his heart.
Of course he knows the reason, because the real Mu Chunhua has died long ago.
The person standing here now is Zheng Qiu. He is not familiar with the leader of the Kamikaze tribe at all. He is afraid that he will reveal some flaws in the conversation, so he behaves so coldly.
Yi Yin took everyone to find a place to rest. As soon as everyone settled down, there was a sound of breaking through the sky in the distance.
Liang Yan turned around and saw two dragon boats, one on the left and one on the right, approaching at the same time.
One of the dragon boats was very tall and surrounded by water. There were about fifty monks standing on it. In addition to the clan leader, high priest and Shenwei, there were also seven young monks in the Golden Core realm.
Before the dragon boat even approached, the majestic water spiritual energy was already swarming in. Everyone seemed to see a sea on land, with rough waves and rolling waves.
Without any introduction from Lu Dayou, Liang Yan knew that this was the "Tianshui Tribe", the most powerful among the ten major tribes.
As for the other dragon boat, it is much weirder. It is clearly in broad daylight, but it seems to be traveling at the junction of light and shadow. Sometimes it is fully exposed, and sometimes it disappears into the shadow, giving people an elusive feeling. Feel.
“That’s the ‘Shadowless Clan’!” Lu Dayou whispered.
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes.
To say that there are only one less Golden Core Realm monk on this dragon boat than the "Tianshui Tribe", and their momentum is not weak at all.
But his eyes only fell on one of them.
“Fang Yun!”
