"Of course I can't afford it."
Xiang Wenli showed a guilty look on his face, "To be honest, Dong Zhen Chuan, these priests were all recruited by me temporarily, just to avoid being at a disadvantage in the battle with the Wan family.
For the sake of immortal fate, I have really given my all this time. I also ask for Dong Zhenchuan's full support."
"It's natural."
Dong Jinghuan withdrew his gaze and replied softly.
The way these wandering cultivators looked at Xiang Wenli was vaguely fanatical and loyal, clearly controlled by some kind of magic. Recalling the scene where Xiang Sheng detoxified the servants around him, it was not difficult to guess that these people were poisoned by the Soul Sound Grass.
Having a secret agent to lead the way was not a bad thing, and he was too lazy to expose Xiang Wenli's clumsy lie.
But... the cultivation of these assassins is not bad, and there are many foundation-building cultivators among them. Where did Xiang Wenli find so many cultivators so that they could be caught without anyone noticing?
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Xiang Sheng's warning.
Dong Jinghuan glanced at Xiang Sheng at the edge of the deck without leaving a trace. He originally thought that the "danger" this woman mentioned was Xiang Hongyu's secret and the uncertainty on Wan Lingmo's side.
Now it seems that Xiang Wenli is the most important person. And Xiang Sheng seems to have known this from the beginning.
The spirit boat flew very fast, and soon it arrived above a small mine, fell vertically, and stopped steadily on the ground.
The mine had been cleared of personnel early on, and more than four hundred monks jumped off the spirit boat, and the empty surface was immediately filled with a small number of people.
Dong Jinghuan put away the spirit boat and swept his spiritual sense over the mine. He immediately saw a black stone door in the mountain with a slight gap.
Dong Jinghuan's brow furrowed, and seeing this, he hurriedly explained to Wenli, "I forgot to mention earlier that the Black Gate is only an outer door, and it's been open from the beginning. There's another door inside, tightly closed and indestructible."
Dong Jinghuan said no more and slipped into the mine, and the others immediately followed.
Xiang Hongyu did not walk with Dong Jinghuan, but mingled with the casual cultivators and kept Xiang Sheng firmly under his side.
The mine was extremely deep and could only accommodate two or three people walking side by side, so the four hundred people formed a long dragon and squeezed into the cave.
Dong Jinghuan and Xiang Wenli were the first to pass through the gap in the black door and came to an open space, which was bare and had nothing.
When Xiang Sheng came in and saw the open space, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. There should have been a lot of soul sound grass planted here, but they were all pulled out by Xiang Wenli.
Besides the Soul Sound Grass, there should also be a Spirit Boat.
Soul essence is much more precious than a spirit boat. Xiang Wenli would not spend her soul essence to exchange for a spirit boat. Moreover, the spirit boat she saw that day was quite old and did not seem to be a new one.
While thinking, Xiang Sheng followed Xiang Hongyu to the silver gate and looked up.
This silver door is about five meters high and ten meters wide. It is more magnificent than the black door outside. There are some words engraved on it, but the handwriting is blurred and it is now difficult to make out what is written on it.
Xiang Sheng looked closely and could only vaguely make out the word "ban". The remaining traces looked like blood, which was daunting.
Dong Jinghuan would not be frightened and took out a fan-shaped magic weapon.
"It's a real fire fan!"
"Dong Zhen Chuan's signature magic weapon, retreat quickly!"
Someone spoke, and everyone quickly made way. Dong Jinghuan waved his fan casually, and countless fiery red arrows shot out from the fan, bombarding the surface of the silver door like an overwhelming force.
However, after the loud bang, the smoke cleared and the silver gate was found to be completely intact and still shining brightly.
Dong Jinghuan showed no sign of surprise. He rolled up his sleeves and retracted his magic weapon. He said in a deep voice, "This sect is indeed as strong as Patriarch Xiang, indestructible."
Xiang Wenli chuckled and was about to answer when he heard a loud laugh from outside.
"Since Junior Brother Dong could utter the words 'indestructible', it seems this cave is truly extraordinary."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black walked in with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his face.
Dong Jinghuan was secretly shocked when he saw this person.
The person who came was not Wan Lingmo, but Du Yuan, the true disciple of Fengyue Sect.
Du Yuan glanced at the huge crowd around him and laughed in surprise, "The Xiang family's offerings are truly substantial. Junior Brother Wan, your family is truly outdone in this respect."
"Brother, please don't laugh at me."
A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Xiang Sheng's eyes fixed instantly.
It’s Wan Lingmo!
While the two were talking, Wan Lingmo walked into the room. He looked much thinner than a few months ago, and had a layer of black veil covering his eyes.
Two people from Fengyue Sect actually came.
Dong Jinghuan frowned secretly, but smiled on the surface. "I've heard that Junior Brother Wan had bad luck last time. Not only was he seriously injured, but his eye magic ability was also accidentally taken away. I'm afraid his injuries haven't fully healed yet? Why is he still showing off? Aren't you afraid that he will be targeted by his enemies and seek revenge?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Dong. My body has already recovered. My blindness is only temporary. My five senses are still there."
Wan Lingmo sneered and retorted, "Brother Dong, you brought a bunch of rabble and wanted to share the opportunity of the cave with us. Are you dreaming?!"
"Wan Lingmo..."
Dong Jinghuan had just opened his mouth when his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked towards the outer door.
At the same time, Du Yuan and Wan Lingmo's expressions changed slightly and they looked back.
