"City Lord, what are they talking about?" Qin Hanyi's men asked curiously.
Chang Tianya used his spiritual sense to block the prying 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 hurried 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.
侯万山心里松一口气，还真怕他们在这个时间还留在妖魔战场，被妖魔趁虚而入，立即放出飞舟，待大家登上飞舟，便启动离开。
妖魔其实还派人守在一丈岭外面，虽然没有看到常天涯，但是他们不敢贸然动手，诸位大人都不在，他们也不是侯万山的对手，只能眼睁睁看着他们离开妖魔战场。
“你觉得富贵和那三头吞金兽，有没有安全离开？”在即将走出妖魔战场的时候，高寒才问沉默不语的钟离庭洲。
知道他在担心什么的钟离庭洲回道：“那道气息爆发得很快，但也消失得很快，大概是用息珠屏蔽了富贵的气息，六长老当时也没有察觉到异样，想必是成功逃走了。”
高寒嗯了一声，“没有事就好，不知道这一别，什么时候能再见到富贵。”
“富贵不学有所成，那三头吞金兽应该不会轻易放他离开禁地。”
“我也是这么想的。”高寒说完，又瞥了他一眼，“你之前在一丈岭就怪怪的，怎么了？”
一提到这个问题，钟离庭洲只是皱了下眉，旋即淡淡道：“没什么，只是在思索一些事情而已。”
这是他第一次对自己隐瞒心事，高寒心中揣测着，却没有追问，等他想说的时候，大概就会说了。
他们回到紫霄宗后，并没有见到白宗主，元然告诉他们，六长老回来后，师尊就把所有事情丢给他，召集一些长老去去商讨事情了。
知道他们在是商讨什么事，心中了然的高寒没问，和钟离庭洲一起离开，他独自一人回到无名峰，意外碰到背着手站在一片花地前的天刀师尊。
“今天怎么只有你一个，你那个连体婴呢？”天刀见到他一人，难得地调侃了一句。
“万仙道快到了，他回上九峰修炼了。”高寒淡淡地回道。
尽管他的口吻和平时一样，天刀还是察觉到他今天的情绪似乎不是很高，“那头吞金兽幼崽，出事了？”
高寒愣了一下，才知道天刀师尊误会了，摇摇头，“没有，他已经安全回到族人身边，”顿了顿，他又问：“师尊，您之前帮他封印了吞金兽的血脉，还会自动爆发吗？”
“爆发过了？”天刀挑眉道。
高寒点了点头，把事情简单说了一遍，“我们猜测可能是对吞金兽的血脉有感应，也提前激发了吞金兽的血脉，才会导致爆发。”
天刀突然露出深思的表情，过了好一会也没有说话。
高寒被师尊的沉默弄得突然升起一丝忐忑，“师尊，是不是有什么问题，富贵会有危险吗？”
“他已经回到族人身边，就算有危险，那三头吞金兽也能解决，为师只是觉得有点奇怪罢了。”天刀安抚了一句，又露出沉吟的表情。
一听没有太大的危险，高寒便放心了，好奇地问道：“哪里奇怪？”
“这头吞金兽幼崽有两种血脉，一出生就是银精蜴的形态，说明体内的吞金兽血脉应该很稀薄，哪怕激发后，他也不会拥有太多吞金兽的神通，吞金兽的血脉固然强大，但是也不可能突破为师的封印，泄露出大量的气息。”天刀心中也存了疑惑。
高寒微微一动，“师尊的意思是，富贵体内的吞金兽血脉有问题？”
“为师不确定，但是能够突破封印，似乎也只有这个解释，他体内的吞金兽血脉，很可能不太一般吧，你也别太担心，血脉强大一些也是好事。”疑惑归疑惑，天刀却也没有去深思，现在能引起他兴趣的事情已经不多了。
高寒见师尊也没有说出个确切的答案，便放弃了追问，希望富贵没有事，等他继承了吞金兽禁地里的传承，强大起来了，应该会来找他们吧。
师尊走后，他用传讯玉简把这件事告诉钟离庭洲。
“天命之子的剧情吗？”
对面突然传来玩笑似的话。
高寒愣了一下，这么快就恢复了吗，便玩笑回去，“你以前不是说天命之子是我们吗？”
“你傻吗，富贵是谁的儿子？”
高寒几乎能想象得到传讯玉简那边，钟离庭洲鄙夷的表情，便笑了，“想当救世祖，也得有那个实力。”
“你说得对，所以接下来我打算闭死关，直到你叫我出来为止。”
高寒听出他是认真的，皱眉道：“在哪儿闭死关？”
“蛮原大陆，紫霄师尊说，那里是修炼自己最好的地方之一，危机重重，生死皆在一线。”钟离庭洲眯起眼睛，若高寒看得到，就能看出他此刻的决心有多么强烈。
“一定要去那里？”在一丈岭受到的刺激就这么大吗。
“必须要去。”
“那我……”
话还没说完，就被他截断了，“你想都别想，我不会带你去的，我先去开路，等我有经验了，下次再招呼你一起去打副本。”
“……你以为是玩游戏呢？”
“灵天大陆，不就是一个大型游戏么。”
