Originally, ten meters was the limit of this formation, which Yang Zhen learned from the Mysterious Principles of the Heavenly Book. However, when carving it, Yang Zhen had an idea and improved several parts, thus expanding the range of the Soul Locking Formation to a hundred meters.

Even so, Yang Zhen still felt that it was not enough. Fortunately, the Soul Locking Array was very simple to carve, and the amount of true energy consumed was pitifully small. Yang Zhen had no idea how many times he had carved in the valley, until he could no longer bear the information transmitted back by all the Soul Locking Arrays, so he stopped.

After finishing carving the last soul-locking formation, Yang Zhen rested for a while on the spot to recover his consumed true energy, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

In the north of the valley, a soul-locking formation sent back a message that the fluctuation of its aura was exactly the same as the blood attractant that Yang Zhen needed.

Yang Zhen was overjoyed. Although this place was sparsely populated, those strange insects and beasts had all left, perhaps because they knew there was danger here or something. Yang Zhen searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

Now that he finally had a clue, Yang Zhen was not willing to delay and hurriedly headed in that direction.

…

At the top of the Youzhou Conference Mountain, Luo Yan and Duan Qing were still confronting each other. Whether or not they could recruit Yang Zhen was no longer important. The two had been fighting for their entire lives, and even if they could not recruit Yang Zhen, they would not let the other get their wish.

Ma Dexing was sneering and mocking at the side, with a look of worry on his face becoming more and more intense. Zhang Zongji's inner demon exploded and he ran out like a convulsion. He has not returned since then and is unconscious. Although there is not much danger here, it is not impossible to kill people and rob treasures if he encounters that fearless cultivator.

At this moment, a clear crane cry was heard in the air. Everyone's heart was startled. Looking up, they saw several small paper cranes appear in the sky and landed in the hands of several leaders of major sects.

Several people looked at each other, and a hint of doubt flashed across their faces.

Although the Youzhou Conference is not a once-in-a-lifetime event, the five major sects still attach great importance to it. Now that they have all sent messages, something big must have happened.

After reading the message, Luo Yan's face changed, and he turned to Su Qingyu and the others and said, "Qingyu, you all should leave for Fiery City immediately!"

Su Qingyu's expression changed. Just as she was about to ask the reason, she heard Duan Qing beside her say to Princess Changyang, "Changyang, you guys should go to Fiery Fire City now. There are people from the sect waiting there. This trip to Fiery Fire City is crucial. It is related to the fate of all the geniuses of the five countries. You must not be careless."

Hearing this, everyone was startled, especially the talented disciples who came this time, all of them looked at the responsible persons in surprise.

"Elder, what exactly happened?" Fang Shenhe, who also received the order, asked with a strange expression.

The elder of Turtle Snake Island said in a deep voice: "There are unusual movements in the Nine Realms Linglong Tower near Fiery City. Someone has determined that the ninth floor may be opened this time!"

"What?"

Everyone exclaimed in unison and looked at the elder of Turtle Snake Island in disbelief.

Luo Yan nodded, exchanged glances with Duan Qing, and explained to everyone, "The news should be true. The Nine Realms Linglong Tower is one of the few holy places on the Youzhou Continent, and it is the most suitable place for you to practice. I just don't know why the most mysterious ninth floor has never been opened, so no one knows what is on the ninth floor."

Duan Qing heard this and continued, "So this time we are opening up new land. Whoever can be the first to enter the ninth floor of the Nine Realms Linglong Tower will most likely receive an inheritance that will shock the world!"

Hiss! Opening up wasteland, or the Nine Realms Linglong Tower, one of the holy places. If this news spreads, it will probably cause a shock to the entire Youzhou continent.

Fortunately, the news has not yet spread out completely, otherwise it would have caused a sensation a long time ago.

"You must leave immediately!" Duan Qing instructed Princess Changyang, "Be careful. This will obviously cause a stir among the five nations. Countless young talents will go to the Nine Realms Linglong Tower, so you may have to compete with geniuses from at least three countries this time!"

Princess Changyang nodded, looked back into the valley, and said, "Elder Duan, can you please have a word with me?"

"Excuse me, Elder Luo." Su Qingyu's voice came at the same time.

The two women looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Duan Qing looked at Princess Changyang with a strange expression, and after arriving at a secluded place, he said with a smile: "You want to talk about Yang Zhen, right?"

Princess Changyang nodded and said, "Elder Duan, Yang Zhen is the most...weird person I have ever met. He is very talented, so talented that I cannot see through him. Please accept him as your disciple at all costs!"

Duan Qing's expression froze, and he took a breath: "You think so highly of him?"

"What if he were to make some outrageous demands?"

"Satisfy him as much as possible!"

"For example...what about you?"

“Elder Duan!” Princess Changyang glared and said angrily, “Then kick him twice for Changyang!”

…

On the other side, Luo Yan said with a smile: "You want to tell me about Yang Zhen."

Su Qingyu nodded and looked at Luo Yan in surprise: "Is his talent really that high?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Luo Yan sighed. He couldn't see through Yang Zhen, and there were too many uncertainties about Yang Zhen. Until now, Luo Yan couldn't be sure of Yang Zhen. It was unclear whether it would be a good thing or a disaster to recruit such a person into the sect.

Looking at the somewhat surprised Su Qingyu, Luo Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and said with a strange look on his face: "Just now, that old man Duan Qing brought up Princess Changyang. If Yang Zhen can join my Dangu Lake, I promised him to give him a chance. Will you blame me for taking the initiative and feel dissatisfied?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Su Qingyu was shocked all over, obviously knowing what the opportunity Luo Yan was talking about meant. However, she looked up at Luo Yan and said nothing, then turned and walked away.

"Be careful, there is a rock ahead." Luo Yan stared at Su Qingyu's absent-minded back in amazement, a little surprised.

Su Qingyu was very arrogant. She looked down upon any of the many young talents in the sect. Luo Yan was prepared for Su Qingyu to lose face, but she didn't say a word.

What did that look just now mean? Luo Yan suddenly felt that after living for so many years, he was finding it increasingly difficult to see through the thoughts of young people.

Princess Changyang and Su Qingyu looked at each other for a long time, and said in unison: "See you in Fiery City!"

Luo Yan and Duan Qing stared at each other for a long time, both of their old faces showing a bewildered look.

"Hmph!" Ma Dexing snorted coldly, his expression becoming increasingly ugly. He looked towards the valley, not knowing whether he was looking at Zhang Zongjim or waiting for Yang Zhen.

…

Yang Zhen carefully came behind a big rock, lay on it and watched the two people fiddling with a bug stealthily.

Duan Langcai's wounds had not healed yet and his complexion was extremely bad. Zhang Zongjim looked even worse than him, with a look of distraught and gnashing of teeth.

The two of them were mumbling something to each other. Yang Zhen climbed on the rock behind them, staring at the insect in Duan Langcai's hand, and let out a strange cry:

"What are you two doing in broad daylight?"

The sudden sound startled the two of them. Duan Lang threw the insect in his hand, and it happened to fall into Zhang Zongjim's mouth.

Zhang Zongjim suddenly let out a howl that shook the earth.

"Bite...bit me..."
