"Why do you suddenly mention Baiyun Valley and Danmen?" Gao Han glanced at him and asked. Looking at his expression, he knew what he was planning again.
Yuan Ran didn't know him well enough, and thought that his uncle-master just mentioned it casually, "Maybe he can look for resources somewhere else."
"I remember that the cultivators in Baiyun Valley are all beastmasters. What resources can they find?" Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile.
Yuan Ran was stunned. "I think he is looking for materials for refining weapons and spiritual herbs."
Although most of the cultivators in Baiyun Valley rely on monsters for combat power, some of them also use magic weapons. In fact, magic weapons are the indispensable combat weapons for human cultivators.
As for spiritual medicines and herbs, they are even more necessary. No cultivator will never be injured, and spiritual medicines are also needed for cultivation.
Gao Han already understood the purpose of his sudden mention of this matter. "There are many monsters in the Shuangdong Secret Realm. Their strength is not very strong, but their intelligence is very high. If they can tame them, train them, and practice at the same time, they will become a great fighting force in the future. So their target should be the monsters."
Yuan Ran finally came to his senses. "You are suspecting that the disciples of Baiyun Valley might cause a riot among the monsters in their efforts to tame them, right?"
"It's not impossible. There's such a big commotion over there, but these two forces haven't noticed it yet. This means they have more important things to do," Gao Han said.
Once the monsters riot, the secret realm will be in danger. You must know that there are Nascent Soul monsters on the cliff. At that time, no matter whether the monsters or humans win, it will be difficult to get out of the secret realm.
When Yuan Ran thought back on it now, he felt that the whereabouts of Baiyun Valley and Danmen were increasingly strange. It seemed that he had hardly seen them since entering the secret realm.
"Will they go to the top of the cliff? Aren't there many Yuanying monsters up there? How dare they provoke them?"
"Of course the Yuanying monsters wouldn't dare to do that, but their offspring might not."
Monsters are very concerned about their cubs. If they find that their cubs have been stolen or forced into a bond with humans, the consequences will be disastrous.
Yuan Ran wanted to say that they probably wouldn't dare to do that, but when he thought of Baiyun Valley's past misdeeds, he felt that given how crazy these people were, they might not dare to do that.
"We can't let them cause chaos," he said firmly.
"This is just our guess. They may also be treasure hunting and exploring in other places." Gao Han explained and glared at Zhongli Tingzhou. He was sure that he suddenly mentioned Baiyun Valley just now not because of this matter. Most likely, he wanted Baiyun Valley to stir up the muddy water even more. He didn't expect that this matter would be involved.
Zhongli Tingzhou looked back at him innocently. Why was he looking at him like that? The words that followed were not said by him.
"We don't know where they are now. Even if we guess that they are on the cliff, it's so big up there, how do we know where they got up from? You are just a disciple of Zixiao Sect, not a hero who saves the world. Just protect your fellow disciples in Zixiao Sect." Gao Han spoke sharply.
Yuan Ran slowly calmed down, "You are right."
His original intention was to worry that his fellow disciples would be affected, not for the people from other sects. He was actually not that great.
"How about this, you take a few injured brothers and find a place to take refuge, as close to the passage as possible, and we will go ahead to continue exploring the situation." Gao Han suggested.
Now all the powerful people are concentrated there. Yuan Ran is taking the injured people, so the chance of encountering other forces is very low, so there is no need to worry about anything happening.
As for the God and Demon Sect and the Phantom Demon Palace that had disappeared, they were most likely mixed together.
Yuan Ran wanted to go with them, but he knew that his fellow apprentices needed him, and he couldn't just let his uncle and his uncle do it. "Then you better be careful."
"Don't worry, brother. We will follow our uncle and the others closely." Brother Chen said. He had been injured before, but he has almost recovered now.
Senior Brother Zhao still has one arm broken, so he can only go back and find some elixir to help him regenerate his broken limb.
There were two people who were not injured, Chang Xiaoxiao and Tian Yijun. They had great strength but little combat experience, so they did not suffer any harm.
Yuan Ran originally wanted to take them with him, but the two of them refused and insisted on going with Gao Han and the others.
"We are here to gain experience." Tian Yijun unexpectedly stood on the same side as Chang Xiaoxiao this time. If it were usual, he would definitely agree in order not to cause trouble for them.
Yuan Ran was about to say something when Gao Han interrupted him, "Then let them follow. They are in the Jindan stage, not the foundation-building stage. Even if they can't kill the enemy, they should be able to protect themselves."
"Well, remember, don't cause trouble for our uncle-master and the others. If you encounter danger, just take care of yourself." Yuan Ran made a special reminder before leaving.
"Don't worry, we won't hold our uncle and the others back." Chang Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
Tian Yijun didn't say anything and acted a little silent. He always knew that he and Chang Xiaoxiao were trouble in the eyes of others. He didn't think it was a big deal before, but now when he heard these words, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. He didn't know when, he had an impulse to become stronger and not want to be looked down upon by others.
Yuan Ran didn't notice his change. After giving him instructions, he left with a few injured brothers.
Gao Han glanced at him. He was not used to having so many people around him suddenly, but there was nothing he could do. There were some things he had to adapt to sooner or later.
Somewhere more than ten kilometers away from here, the demons that Gao Han had predicted were gathered together with sad faces. One of the demons was holding a command arrow in his hand.
"What should we do? Should we do it?" The demon on the opposite side broke the silent atmosphere.
Another demon said, "I heard that when the passage is not fixed, it is very dangerous and you may not be able to get out once you enter."
"But if you don't do it, you'll die when you get out."
The demon holding the command arrow sighed, "I should have known not to take Saroyan's body. I didn't expect it to be such a hot potato."
"Yes, but even though Lord Tiegu was so angry this time and took the risk of sending a message to the secret realm, it is not without benefits, as long as he can get out alive."
The demon immediately pressed the command arrow into his hand and said, "Then I'll give you this opportunity."
The other party immediately threw the command arrow back to him, "I don't want it. You were the one who said you wanted to take Saroyan's body. We don't want this benefit anymore. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
"I thought it was time to go out, but who knew that Lord Tiegu would be so impatient? Saroyan's body was destroyed like that. Even if he handed it over, Lord Tiegu might not be able to tell who did it. There are still more than ten days left before a month. Even if he finds out, can Lord Tiegu still break in and kill the other party?" The young demon wanted to cry, but he had no tears.
Everyone felt a little sympathetic towards him, but sympathy was sympathy alone, and they didn't have the courage to die on his behalf.
"I think you should go. The Lord of Tiegu City is very powerful. Even if you throw away Saroyan's body now, it is too late. It is better to take a gamble now than to die after you go out." It is also for their lives not to be implicated.
The young demon's expression became increasingly ugly.
"There is not much time left. Just go. We will ask the emperor to bless you."
The young demon held the command arrow in his hand, but unfortunately the material was too fine and he couldn't break it. "I know."
Several people followed him to where the passage was opened. After waiting for about a few minutes, a black vortex appeared in the air, like a passage to hell. If you stepped into it, it could be heaven or hell.
The young demon hesitated for a while before slowly walking in, and his figure was immediately swallowed by the black vortex.
Several demons didn't know whether he had successfully escaped or died in there. "Let's go. I saw several gathering signals before. Something must have happened over there. Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can catch some fish."
…
When Gao Han, Zhongli Tingzhou, Chang Xiaoxiao and three others arrived, the demons and humans had already started fighting.
The battle was fierce between the geniuses. The monsters nearby didn't dare to approach, and they didn't approach either. They found a place to lie in wait quietly.
After a while, the demon named Hope was knocked away by Chai Chengyun of the Jishang Sect.
“妖魔的天骄，也不过如此。”柴承运轻蔑地盯着口吐鲜血的霍普，又蔑视地扫向其他妖魔。
“真是丢脸，打个受重伤的妖魔天骄还打了这么久，有什么可得意的，我杀了好几个都没说什么。”钟离庭洲啧啧地评价。
“你闭嘴。”高寒目露寒光。
钟离庭洲立刻闭嘴了，居然嘴炮都不让说。
“如果霍普没有受重伤，你根本不是他的对手！”霍普的同伴愤愤地说道，“你们人类也就只能仗着霍普受重伤的时候耍威风罢了。”
柴承运沉下脸，杀气腾腾地看了他们一眼，“等我杀了他，再来解决你们几个，不用着急。”
同伴冲过来，但很快又被极上宗的张铭阳他们缠住了。
“门罗大人，梅尔维尔大人，求你们救救霍普，他之前为了对付悬崖上的元婴妖兽，受了重伤。”同伴立刻向两位妖魔天骄求救。
妖魔之间虽然也有争斗，但是在人类面前，他们还是比较团结的，而且霍普要是死了，他们也会陷入苦战，门罗和梅尔维尔没怎么犹豫，立刻往这边靠近。
“你当我是死人吗？”孔凤君手持白色雪剑，神色冷漠地挡在梅尔维尔面前。
“女人，给我让开，否则杀了你！”梅尔维尔沉着脸。
孔凤君面若寒霜，“那要看你有没有的本事，是你先死，还是我先死。”
梅尔维尔看了门罗一眼，发现他也被那个叫梁木衡的器星谷修士拦住了。
柴承运直接欺到霍普面前，接连不断出招，霍普重伤未愈，抵挡得很辛苦，他是个进攻型的，如今只能被迫防守。
钟离庭洲眯了眯眼，这个霍普要是死了，人类那边夺下灵石矿脉就是时间的问题，神色忽然微微一动，看向某个方向。
“又有妖魔来了。”高寒低声喊道。
四个妖魔御空而来，看到霍普有难，立刻有三个冲过去缠住柴承运。
柴承运毕竟不是高寒，也不是钟离庭洲，无法做到一刀斩杀一个妖魔，被三个妖魔缠住，立刻失去他的目标，只差一点点就能斩杀一个妖魔天骄，柴承运眼睛都红了，“滚开！”
“除非从我们的尸体上踏过。”三个妖魔冷声道，三人配合，反倒把柴承运困得死死的。
剩下那个妖魔扶住浑身血淋淋的霍普，立刻喂了一些灵药给他，身上的血很快就止住了，又送了一些恢复灵力的丹药。
霍普也不多说，直接盘腿坐下，从身上取出一颗丹药吞下去，“护卫我片刻。”
不一会，他身上的血就止住了，伤口甚至开始结痂，枯竭的灵力似乎重新涌动。
“那颗丹药不简单，恢复效果很好，估计只有一颗。”高寒注意到他吞服的丹药。
“效果确实很好，有点像复生丹。”田一竣说道。
发现是他回话，高寒看向突然安静下来的钟离庭洲，发现他的视线没有看着正在战斗的天骄，反正一直盯着某个像在打酱油的妖魔。
“怎么了？”
“这个妖魔不简单，刚刚那个霍普要死的时候，他好像想过去，突然又停住了，他发现四个妖魔过来了。”钟离庭洲发出低笑声。
高寒皱眉看向那个外表看起来普普通通的妖魔，怎么看都不像不简单，不过他身边本来就有一个喜欢装弱的戏精，再多一个，也没什么好意外的。
“妖魔没安好心，如果不是想找什么资源，就是想将秘境中的人类天骄一网打尽。”
“师叔，那我们现在要出去吗？”常小小问。
“现在出去，柴承运他们不会承情，还会觉得我们想瓜分他们的灵石矿，再等等，那个妖魔应该不会隐藏太久。”
常小小压抑着心里小小的兴奋，这种像主角一样最后出场的拉风方式，他最喜欢玩了。
对青梅竹马从脚趾头了解到天灵盖的田一竣，一眼就知道他在想什么，明明没有实力，还想当主角，但是想到他也是那个没实力的人，便不由自主的握紧手中的法宝，总觉得有点不甘心，从来没有一刻，这么想要变强过。
“小小，待会我们一起对付一个妖魔，至少要杀一个。”田一竣突然低声对常小小说道。
“好啊。”常小小没有他想的那么多。
高寒又看了田一竣一眼，注意到他眼里一闪而过的不甘，没说什么，人最怕没有进取心，脑海里突然响起钟离庭洲的传音，“你怎么老看他？”
“只是觉得田长老的良苦用心，应该达到了。”
钟离庭洲对谁的良苦用心没兴趣，继续盯着那个妖魔，心思蠢蠢欲动。
恢复一点实力的霍普，又重新加入战斗，代替那三个快要顶不住的妖魔，飞到柴承运面前，冷酷道：“你的对手是我！”
柴承运神情阴郁，“来得正好，我能伤你一次，就能伤你第二次！”手中的刀猛然爆发。
与此同时，另一个方向突然爆发出一股更强大的力量，一道剑光以极快的速度冲到梅尔维尔面前，穿透了他的肩膀，如果他再慢一步，这道白色剑光穿透的就是他的心脏。
“梅尔维尔？”
妖魔们被这一幕震惊了，梅尔维尔居然被一个人类女天骄重伤了？
“你的实力不错，居然能逼我使出这一招。”孔凤君面色有一丝淡淡的白，是施展大招后的后遗症。
另一边，梁木衡突然取出一把硕大的长弓，弯弓迅速射出充斥着灼热火焰的一箭，如同一轮小太阳，朝受伤的梅尔维尔爆射而去。
这一箭不是为了帮孔凤君，这种几乎势均力敌的时刻，只要有一方的天骄死了一个，就能奠定胜局，他才会毫不犹豫的射出自己最强的一箭。
一眨眼，火焰箭就来到梅尔维尔面前，速度快得只有全盛时期的他才能躲得过，火焰映出他脸上不甘的神情，然而他的眼睛却看向另一个方向，带着旁人没有发现的求救意味。
一道寒光袭来，瞬间劈中火焰箭。
叮地一声，强大的一箭被拦腰截断。
箭上的火焰反被对方如猛虎般的力量吞噬了。
瞬息变化，惊起无数涟漪。
梁木衡脸上的得意甚至还未来得及褪去，就被眼前的一幕惊呆了，嘴角的笑容瞬间消失，“不可能！”
断成两截的箭落入下方的草丛里，刺眼一般的事实。
诸位天骄猛然看向在关键时刻救了梅尔维尔的妖魔，对方手里拿着一把普普通通的刀，那道寒光便是他斩出的。
妖魔的实力是统领大圆满，这里有数位金丹大圆满，此人混在其中并没有太大的存在感，所以一开始大家都把他忽略了，但是当他站出来的时候，那张平凡的脸，陡然升起不一样的感觉。
“凯洛斯！”门罗和霍普在看到这个青年妖魔的时候，不由自主的惊呼出声，眼里闪烁着震惊之色。
“天哪，是凯洛斯大人！”
“凯洛斯大人也在秘境里，我们居然一直没有发现！”
“太好了，有凯洛斯大人，这次我们赢定了。”
妖魔们现在才认出青年妖魔，有的露出喜极而泣的表情。
不同于妖魔的兴奋和激动，柴承运梁木衡和孔凤君三个天骄在听到他们叫出这个名字的时候，猛然脸色大变，显然他们也听说过这个名字。
天骄也强弱，除去统领之上的天骄，这个凯洛斯就被誉为大统领之下的第一人，实力之强悍，管中窥豹。
天骄可以越级打败普通妖魔或修士，但是想要越级打败天骄，难度却不是一般的高。
一个新天骄的出现，而且还是享誉盛名的妖魔天骄，足够改变这场战局的走向，人类现在想要赢，除非其他门派势力的天骄出现，但胜负还很难测，因为妖魔凯洛斯并不是普通的天骄。
“这个凯洛斯我也听说过几分他的名气。”梁木衡心中纠结，不想放弃这条极品灵石矿，又觉得胜算有点低，真打下去，他们未必可以占到多少好处。
柴承运眸光闪烁，他没有和凯洛斯打过交道，但是他有一位天骄师兄曾经和凯洛斯打过一架，后来输了，而他并不是那位师兄的对手，十次中至少败了八次。
“怎么，你们不会是怕了吧？”孔凤君突然嘲讽地说道。
“你说什么？谁怕了？”两人同时看向她，面色不愉。
孔凤君冷哼一声，“既然不怕，那就干脆一点，畏畏缩缩，算什么天骄，强者一来就失去战斗的意志，那不是天骄，是弱者。”
“你！”两人面色愠怒，他们是人类天骄，怎么可能是弱者，再说，谁说他们失去战斗的意志，审时度势明明也是一种本事，明知不敌还冲上去送死，那不是血性，那是莽夫所为。
“这个孔凤君，还有几分血性。”钟离庭洲翘着嘴角说道。
高寒瞥了他一眼，“欣赏她吗？”
Zhongli Tingzhou replied immediately: "I don't appreciate it." He also changed the subject: "This Kairos, he has some skills, hiding among ordinary monsters, is it just to kill the human genius?"
"There must be other purposes. Either he has found what he wants, or he hasn't found it yet." Gao Han said lightly.
Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled, "Baby, you succeeded in pleasing me."
Gao Han didn't even give him a glance.
The others couldn't help laughing. So this is how the two uncles (grandfathers) usually get along with each other. It feels quite interesting. They are not as aloof and distant as they imagined.
On the battlefield, the three human geniuses said something again, and Kong Fengjun suddenly attacked Kairos with a snowflake sword, which was emitting a cold chill. It was clearly spring, but countless white snowflakes appeared around the tip of the sword, and were blown up and dancing in the wind. It looked very beautiful, but suddenly murderous intent emerged. Every snowflake instantly turned into the sharpest blade, wrapping Kairos.
"Flowering moves." Kailos' pupils suddenly opened wide, shooting out a sharp light. The knife in his hand shook slightly, and he chopped forward. A tremendous force gushed out, instantly opening a gap in the Snowflake Killer.
Kailos rushed out of the snowflake killer and appeared in front of Kong Fengjun in the blink of an eye.
"Junior sister, be careful!" He Yuyan just shouted and saw Kong Fengjun being knocked away.
Everyone was shocked. Kong Fengjun was a true human prodigy, but he was defeated by the demon Kailos in just one move. The other party was known as the number one person under the commander-in-chief, and it was indeed not a false reputation.
"Uncle-master, is this Kailos so powerful that he defeated the genius of the Fairy Sect with just one move." Chang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"It's not just one move." Gao Han said.
Chang Xiaoxiao was even more surprised. Even Tian Yijun and the others looked over. They had only seen one move. "Master, did you add Kong Fengjun's first move?"
"No, at that moment, they exchanged at least dozens of moves, but you were too weak to see it." The last sentence was like a critical hit, which instantly knocked them out of their wits. Even the stupid Chang Xiaoxiao showed a lost expression.
"Kong Fengjun is actually not weak. She always has the upper hand when dealing with Melville. It's just that her opponent is too strong." Gao Han explained further.
However, if the opponent is too strong, it still means that one is weak. Cultivating immortals is also a path to become stronger continuously.
