"City Lord, what are they talking about?" Qin Hanyi's men asked curiously.
Chang Tianya used his spiritual sense to block the praying eyes of Wanshoushan and others, including them naturally, so they could only see their mouths opening and closing but could not hear any information.
"Don't make random guesses." Qin Hanyi warned. How could the conversation of a big shot like Chang Tianya escape his eyes? He could even hear a fart.
The subordinate immediately shut up. He was actually just a little bored and didn't really want to spy, but who knew what these strong men were thinking. The city lord was right. It was better not to talk about it.
Qin Hanyi felt a little emotional. This time, not only did he become a bystander, but he was also almost killed by Ning Hongtian. It was also a big lesson. Although he didn't really want to get the gold-devouring beast, he was very interested in the forbidden area behind the gold-devouring beast.
Just as he was thinking about it, Chang Tianya withdrew his spiritual sense, and Hou Wanshan walked towards them.
"City Lord Qin, we plan to leave Yizhang Ridge now, what about you?"
"We are also ready to leave." Qin Hanyi suddenly looked at Chang Tianya.
Chang Tianya noticed his gaze and said with a smile: "Then let's go together."
Qin Hanyi was extremely delighted and bowed sincerely: "Thank you, senior."
They didn't know whether the demons would be waiting for them outside Yizhang Ridge, or whether the monsters would attack them while they were retreating. They also didn't know whether Ning Hongtian would join forces with Baiyun Valley to ambush them. They didn't know even more that the only way to ensure their safety was to follow the Zixiao Sect.
Everyone set off together. Intimidated by Chang Tianya's aura, the monsters in Yizhangling did not dare to approach them. Some of those that were ready to move were killed by Chang Tianya with a wave of his hand before they could get close.
The strong men in the fusion stage are so powerful that no matter who sees them, there will be a shock in their hearts.
Qin Hanyi had heard before that the Sixth Elder of Zixiao Sect had profound cultivation and great strength. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved. In his opinion, he is even several times stronger than the average fusion stage cultivator.
"Speaking of which, this time it was really dangerous. Ning Hongtian and Ying Yangyao actually fought with the demons. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known that the demons had sent so many great lord-level demons. If we encountered these demons alone, the consequences would be disastrous." Qin Hanyi said with emotion.
"City Lord Qin is right. It's strange that we haven't encountered these monsters before." Hou Wanshan also had this idea.
At this time, Gao Han interrupted, "It's not just a great lord-level demon, there should be a monarch-level demon hiding behind them."
Qin Hanyi and Hou Wanshan were both shocked. "A monarch-level demon is here too?"
"Young friend Gao Han is right. There is indeed a monarch-level demon. You didn't find him because he didn't dare to show up. Maybe he also sensed my presence and didn't dare to show up easily." Chang Tianya answered their doubts for Gao Han.
Gao Han actually thought of another reason. He also glanced at Zhongli Tingzhou and found that he was a little absent-minded. Now was not the time to talk about these things, so he just kept it in mind.
"Do you have anything to say?" Although no one else noticed, Chang Tianya was the first to notice the strangeness on Gao Han's face and asked gently.
Gao Han collected his thoughts and said, "Sixth Elder is probably only half right. You are right to think that the demons' behavior is strange. They are indeed plotting something, but for now it is just our guess. The reason why City Lord Ning and his men are fighting the demons is actually somewhat related to us."
"Oh?" Chang Tianya immediately became serious.
The others were slightly stunned. What could this matter have to do with two young men whose strength was below the Out-of-Body Stage?
Gao Han briefly told them about the demons ambushing lone human monks, "We found that most of the human monks ambushed by demons would leave a complete body, rarely with limbs missing. When they were chasing us, they seemed to deliberately avoid using big moves. And because of something, I asked the gold-devouring beast to put the strange saliva fragrance on the demons..."
"Strange saliva?" Several people asked in unison. They were City Lord Qin and Hou Wanshan and others.
Gao Han did not intend to hide the matter of the exotic amber tree. Qin Hanyi didn't know it now, but he would know it when he returned. When they asked for the exotic amber as a reward that day, they did not avoid Qin Yuexian and An Lan.
"So that's it, so that's it!" Qin Hanyi waited for him to finish and couldn't help laughing.
Ning Hongtian's daughter suddenly brought Tong Lao to his house. He was not worried that his daughter's life was in danger. With Qi Yuanbai there, Tong Lao could not hurt his daughter.
He was happy that the Alisma tree that Ning Hongtian had hidden for many years, the "magic weapon" for victory and the reliance on which he consolidated his position among the major forces, was betrayed by his own daughter. If he knew about this after returning, he would be so angry that he would die. He really raised a good daughter!
"So it was you who did it, no wonder." Chang Tianya nodded. He had not thought of this. These two nephews were even more capable than he had imagined.
Gao Han actually thought that Chang Tianya already knew about it, but it seemed that Sect Master Bai had not had the time to tell him about it.
Before they came to Yizhang Ridge, not many people knew that Zixiao Sect had asked Ning Songcheng for the strange saliva fragrance. Now they don't know about it, but with Sect Master Bai's "scheming", many people should have known about it by now. After all, if they want to get Zixiao Sect out, this is the only way.
"If the demonic plan you mentioned is true, we must be on high alert." Chang Tianya was more concerned about this. He looked at Hou Wanshan and asked, "Have any disciples of Zixiao Sect been left alone before?"
Hou Wanshan immediately replied: "We didn't. Except for the two uncles, everyone else has been with us."
After saying that, he suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong, and added: "Of course, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with the two uncles."
Qin Hanyi's eyes flickered slightly. He had noticed before that Master Hou Feng was very respectful to the two young men. This was not the attitude of an elder towards a younger generation. He did not expect that they were actually Hou Wanshan's uncles. However, at this moment, he could not figure out what their identities were in Zixiao Sect.
"I can tell if they have any problems." Chang Tianya waved his hand and said, if there were any problems, he would not be able to talk about the Seven Bright Nine Lights Zhi, as demons could not steal the host's memory. "You should check the others. I was restrained by the big demon of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain before, so it was difficult to detect any problems, so that the monarch-level demon took advantage of the opportunity."
This also explains why he didn't show up in time at the beginning.
Even if he didn't say it, everyone had actually expected it, otherwise the big monster in Wanshou Mountain would not have spoken out in time before the Green Flame Python was about to attack.
Everyone had no objection. This matter not only concerned the safety of Lingtian Continent, but also their own safety. No one wanted to have a demon in a human shell lurking around them.
Fortunately, among the people present, no one was infected by the demon, and everyone was still on their own.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"In order to track down the gold-devouring beast, people from other sects are left alone from time to time. It is very likely that demons have infiltrated their ranks," Gao Han said.
"That's right," Chang Tianya said, stroking his beard, "but this is difficult to do. Now they have left. For the sake of Lingtian Continent, I must rush back first. Now I can only send you away from Yizhangling."
"The matter of demons is important. It is enough for the Sixth Elder to send us out of Yizhang Ridge. Wanshan is not so weak that he can't deal with a few demons." Hou Wanshan said seriously, and everyone had no objection.
Chang Tianya nodded, "Okay, let's go quickly then."
Under Chang Tianya's escort, they quickly and smoothly left Yizhangling, and Chang Tianya left.
Qin Hanyi made sure that there were no demons or Ning Hongtian and his men lying in ambush outside, so he said goodbye to Hou Wanshan and hurtled away with his men. Although he appeared not to care, he was actually still worried in his heart.
As soon as they left, Hou Wanshan asked Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou, "Do you two uncles want to go back with us?"
"Then let's go back together. We have achieved the purpose of coming to Yizhangling." Gao Han said.
Hou Wanshan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that if they stayed in the demon battlefield at this time, the demons would take advantage of the opportunity to invade. He immediately released the flying boat, and after everyone boarded the flying boat, he started to leave.
The demons actually sent people to guard outside Yizhangling. Although they did not see Chang Tianya, they did not dare to act rashly. The masters were not there, and they were no match for Hou Wanshan. They could only watch them leave the demon battlefield.
"Do you think Fugui and the three gold-eating beasts have escaped safely?" Gao Han asked the silent Zhongli Tingzhou when they were about to leave the demon battlefield.
Zhongli Tingzhou, who knew what he was worried about, replied, "That aura burst out very quickly, but it also disappeared very quickly. It was probably because the Breathing Pearl blocked the aura of wealth. The Sixth Elder did not notice anything unusual at the time, so he must have managed to escape."
Gao Han hummed, "I'm glad you're okay. I don't know when I'll see Fugui again after this separation."
“If a wealthy man doesn’t learn to achieve success, the three gold-eating beasts will not let him leave the forbidden area easily.”
"I thought so too." Gao Han said, and glanced at him again, "You were acting weird in Yizhangling before, what's wrong?"
When this question was mentioned, Zhongli Tingzhou just frowned, and then said lightly: "Nothing, just thinking about something."
This was the first time that he had concealed his thoughts from Gao Han. Gao Han guessed it in his mind but did not ask any further questions. He would probably tell him when he wanted to.
After they returned to Zixiao Sect, they did not see Sect Master Bai. Yuanran told them that after the Sixth Elder came back, the master threw all matters to him and summoned some elders to discuss things.
Knowing what they were discussing, Gao Han understood the situation without asking and left with Zhongli Tingzhou. He returned to Wuming Peak alone and unexpectedly ran into Master Tiandao who was standing in front of a field of flowers with his hands behind his back.
"Why are you the only one here today? Where is your conjoined twin?" Tian Dao teased him when he saw him alone.
"The Wanxian Road is almost here, so he went back to the Upper Nine Peaks to practice." Gao Han replied calmly.
Although his tone was the same as usual, Tian Dao still noticed that he didn't seem to be in a very good mood today, "That gold-eating beast cub, something happened?"
Gao Han was stunned for a moment before he realized that Master Tian Dao had misunderstood him. He shook his head and said, "No, he has returned safely to his tribe." After a pause, he asked again, "Master, you helped him seal the blood of the gold-devouring beast before. Will it explode automatically?"
"Has it exploded?" Tian Dao raised his eyebrows.
Gao Han nodded and briefly explained the matter. "We speculate that it may be due to the induction of the blood of the gold-devouring beast, which stimulated the blood of the gold-devouring beast in advance, which led to the outbreak."
Tian Dao suddenly showed a thoughtful expression and did not speak for a long time.
Gao Han was suddenly a little worried by his master's silence, "Master, is there something wrong? Will Fugui be in danger?"
"He has returned to his tribe. Even if there is danger, the three gold-eating beasts can handle it. I just find it a little strange." Tian Dao comforted him and showed a pensive expression again.
Hearing that there was no great danger, Gao Han felt relieved and asked curiously, "What's so strange?"
"This gold-devouring beast cub has two bloodlines. It was born in the form of a silver-essence lizard, which means the gold-devouring beast bloodline in its body should be very thin. Even after being stimulated, he will not possess too many magical powers of the gold-devouring beast. The gold-devouring beast bloodline is indeed powerful, but it is impossible for it to break through the seal of the master and leak out a large amount of aura." Tiandao also had doubts in his heart.
Gao Han was slightly moved, "Master, what you mean is that there is something wrong with the gold-devouring beast bloodline in Fugui's body?"
"Master, I'm not sure, but this seems to be the only explanation for being able to break the seal. The gold-devouring beast blood in his body is probably not ordinary. Don't worry too much. A stronger bloodline is a good thing." Although he was confused, Tian Dao did not think too much about it. There were not many things that could arouse his interest now.
Seeing that his master did not give a definite answer, Gao Han gave up asking any further questions. He hoped that Fugui was okay. When he inherited the legacy of the forbidden land of the gold-devouring beasts and became powerful, he would probably come to find them.
After his master left, he used a jade communication slip to tell Zhongli Tingzhou about this matter.
"The plot of Destiny's Child?"
Suddenly, a joking remark came from the other side.
Gao Han was stunned for a moment. Did he recover so quickly? Then he joked back, "Didn't you say before that we are the child of destiny?"
"Are you stupid? Whose son is Fugui?"
Gao Han could almost imagine Zhongli Tingzhou's contemptuous expression on the other side of the communication jade slip, so he smiled, "If you want to be the savior, you must have the strength."
"You're right, so I plan to stay in seclusion until you call me out."
Gao Han could tell he was serious and frowned, "Where are you in seclusion?"
"Manyuan Continent, Master Zixiao said, is one of the best places for self-cultivation. It is full of dangers and life and death are hanging by a thread." Zhongli Tingzhou narrowed his eyes. If Gao Han could see it, he would be able to tell how strong his determination was at this moment.
"We must go there?" Was the shock he felt at Yizhangling so great?
“I have to go.”
"Then I..."
Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her and said, "Don't even think about it. I won't take you with me. I'll go ahead and clear the way. When I have more experience, I'll invite you to join me in the dungeon next time."
"…You thought you were playing a game?"
"Spiritual Heaven Continent, isn't it just a large-scale game?"
