Chapter 111: Hiding in the Dark
The busiest place in the entire Great Zhou Xiuxian world is the Evil Suppression Valley in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Since four years ago, an ancient seal in the Beast Spirit Mountains loosened, and a large amount of demonic energy overflowed from the Evil Suppression Valley in the mountains, revealing the Evil Suppression Valley that had been sealed for thousands of years. The Tianmo Sect sent a large number of cultivators to this place.
In order to prevent the Tianmo Sect from taking the opportunity to invade, the cultivators of the seven major sects of the righteous path also sent a large army of cultivators to this place.
The cultivators of both sides did not expect that the loosening of the seal of the Evil Suppression Valley would cause a large number of monsters to emerge from the Beast Spirit Mountains. At first, the two sides were very restrained, and both sides tacitly killed the monsters and obtained a large amount of monster materials. But as more and more cultivators came here, in just over four years, the monsters outside the Evil Suppression Valley in the Beast Spirit Mountains had been killed.
In the fourth year after the Demon-Suppressing Valley was revealed, more and more cultivators could not bear it any longer and began to look for entrances to the Demon-Suppressing Valley along the places where the seals outside the Demon-Suppressing Valley were loose and the prohibition power was relatively weak, attempting to enter the Demon-Suppressing Valley for exploration.
You should know that in the ancient times before the Great War of Sealing Demons and Exterminating Monsters, the Demon-Suppressing Valley was a well-known place in the world of immortal cultivation. It was called the Ten Thousand Beasts Dojo and was the mountain gate of the famous Ten Thousand Beasts Gate. In the Demon-Suppressing Valley, there are countless caves opened up by ancient cultivators. If you can break in, you might find treasures and skills left by ancient cultivators, and that would be a fortune.
The resources of the immortal cultivation world are limited. Who can resist discovering such a treasure house with huge resources?
Not to mention, in the fourth year, the two crazy cultivators really found a breakthrough. The breakthrough was in a very secret cave of an ancient cultivator in the Beast Spirit Mountains.
The one who discovered this breakthrough was a Jindan-stage elder of the Xiuzhen Sect, named Jin Renfeng.
This person accidentally broke into the cave of the ancient cultivator while tracking a level 5 five-element monster, and was trapped in it for several years. He finally found it after escaping from the cave with the help of his three disciples.
This discovery made the cultivators of the seven righteous sects very excited. So, under the guidance of Jin Renfeng, a Jindan-stage cultivator of the Xiuzhen Sect, the cultivators of the seven righteous sects took the lead in occupying the cave of the ancient cultivator, and spent several months digging out the passage to the Evil Suppression Valley.
This news was soon known to the cultivators of the Tianmo Sect. How could the cultivators of the Tianmo Sect watch the cultivators of the seven righteous sects break into the Evil Suppression Valley first and plunder the treasures in it? They immediately refused to do it, and sent a large number of disciples to the outside of the ancient cultivator's cave.
The cultivators of the righteous and evil sects finally broke out in the first large-scale battle. Outside the ancient monk's cave, the two sides set up their own camps and launched a large-scale battle. For a time, a large number of monks from both sides continued to gather here from all over the place.
An unprecedented disaster in the Great Zhou Xiuxian world was brewing without the knowledge of both sides. Both sides could feel it, but at this moment, they were already blood-thirsty. Even if the calmer and wiser monks on both sides wanted to stop it, they were powerless to save the situation.
The mountain gate is located in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. The cultivation gates that are close to the Beast Spirit Mountains can especially feel the oppression of the impending storm. The high-level monks in the gate are no longer discussing whether they can enter the Evil Suppression Valley and how many treasures they can obtain, but how to safely evacuate the battlefield and preserve the inheritance of the sect.
All this seems to have nothing to do with Wu Yan, who has been in seclusion for two years.
For two years, the great elder Jin Renfeng and the three true disciples of the Five Elements Peak have not returned. The mountain protection spirit formation of the Five Elements Peak has been open.
In the past two years, as Wu Yan had expected at first, several groups of people who made him hate them came from outside the Five Elements Peak.
The first group of people who came was a fierce and aggressive team led by Zhao Dong, a true disciple of Huoling Peak. Since Zhao Wugui, the manager of the Transmission Institute, suddenly disappeared shortly after Wu Yan went into seclusion two years ago, Zhao Wugui's uncle Zhao Dong felt that something was wrong. He first found Lei Chuang, who had always been closest to Zhao Wugui, to ask about this. At this time, Lei Chuang failed to build his foundation again. Lei Chuang, who was hit by the failure, had nowhere to vent his anger, so he pointed the finger at Wu Yan.
Zhao Dong led Lei Chuang to investigate the Qi Refining disciples who had a good relationship with Zhao Wugui and had contacted Zhao Wugui on the day he disappeared.
This investigation really allowed Zhao Dong to find out that Zhao Wugui led the outer disciple Hu Feng and the casual cultivator Qian Daozi to follow Wu Yan. After some investigation, Zhao Dong was convinced that Zhao Wugui and the other three were very likely to have died on the way to track Wu Yan.
Now Wu Yan is hiding in the Five Elements Peak, which further confirms Zhao Dong's guess. Unfortunately, all this is just speculation, and Zhao Dong has not found any evidence.
However, in a rage, Zhao Dong still led his good friend Zhuge Ji and Zhao Wugui's friend Lei Chuang to the Five Elements Peak to ask for punishment.
The three rushed to the Five Elements Peak, but were rejected by the Five Elements Peak's formation. No matter how they sent the sound transmission talisman or broke into the formation directly, the Five Elements Peak did not respond at all.
This once again confirmed Zhao Dong's guess. Zhao Dong, who was furious, appealed to the head of the sect, Zhenxuzi, and asked the head of the sect, Zhenxuzi, to come forward to preside over justice.
After listening to Zhao Dong's report, Zhenxuzi also felt that this matter was related to the sect's rules and should not be underestimated, so he went to the Five Elements Peak in person.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the leader of the Cultivation Sect, Zhen Xuzi, had already mobilized, but Wu Yan, who was huddled in the Five Elements Peak, still did not come out, and did not even show his face.
When this incident came to an end, even the great elder Ding Huo, who had just returned to the mountain to rest, went to the Five Elements Peak and even took action himself, planning to force his way into the mountain-protecting spiritual formation of the Five Elements Peak.
However, what no one expected was that the mountain-protecting spiritual formation of Five Elements Peak was so powerful that even Elder Ding Huo couldn't break in despite several attempts.
Annoyed, in the past two years, at the Xiuzhen Sect's palace meeting, Elder Ding Huo and the leader Zhen Xuzi jointly proposed to abolish the Five Elements Peak Five Elements Hall.
However, there has been no news about the Grand Elder Jin Renfeng, which also led to the fact that although the palace discussion has been endlessly debated, it has never been resolved. Coupled with the outbreak of a war between good and evil, a large number of Cultivation Sect disciples were forced to rush to join the battle outside the Evil Suppressing Valley in the Beast Spirit Mountains, so the matter went unsolved.
Nowadays, Zhao Dong, Zhuge Ji and Lei Chuang are the only ones who often appear near Five Elements Peak and try to intercept Wu Yan.
At the foot of the mountain outside Five Elements Peak, there are several simple stone houses built. In the stone house, Zhao Dong, Zhuge Ji, and Lei Chuang gathered here, seemingly discussing something.
"Uncle Zhao, Elder Jin and the four of them did not die in Beast Spirit Mountain. I'm afraid they will come back soon. Do we still have to stay here?" Lei Chuang was the one who spoke, with a look of anxiety on his face.
Originally, when Wu Yan came to trouble him, Wu Yan couldn't get out of the house. The three of them had no choice but to build several stone houses at the foot of the Five Elements Peak. They took turns squatting there, waiting for Wu Yan to come out one day and intercept him for questioning.
Unexpectedly, a war broke out between the good and the devil this year. The seven major sects of the good path continued to recruit disciples to the Beast Spirit Mountain to participate in the war. In order to escape the war, the three of them suddenly thought of this matter, and this is how the three of them decided to stay here every day.
However, a piece of bad news spread back to the Cultivation Sect a few months after the war broke out.
No one among the disciples of the Cultivation Sect would have thought that the source of this war was actually the Cultivation Sect's Great Master Jin Renfeng who escaped from the trap and discovered a passage leading to the Evil Suppressing Valley.
Although the four of them were forced to stay in the Righteous Alliance camp outside the Evil Suppressing Valley because of the passage incident, they were unable to return for a while. But since they are not dead, it is only a matter of time before they come back.
The disciples of Five Elements Peak have always been arrogant and unreasonable, and are famous in the cultivation sect. The three guys recently learned about this and were completely panicked.
"What are you afraid of? We didn't do anything wrong. Then Wu Yan killed my nephew and hid in the Five Elements Peak. Is he still reasonable? Even if Elder Jin comes back, I'm not afraid! Huh, I'm really looking forward to it. I hope Elder Jin comes back quickly so that he can activate the Mountain Protecting Spirit Formation and find out that nasty boy so that he can go to the head to question him!"
Now that he has become a disciple of the Great Elder Ding Huo, and was forced into him by the Great Elder Ding Huo's method of instilling a trace of moral merit and inheritance, Zhao Dong has completely become the true disciple of Huo Lingfeng, and he is confident. With Great Elder Ding Huo as his backing, he is not too afraid of the disciples of Five Elements Peak. What's more, because of the incident decades ago, the disciples of Huo Ling Peak and the disciples of Five Elements Peak have always been at odds with each other. Under the influence of other true disciples of Huo Lingfeng, Zhao Dong now also has a grudge against the disciples of Five Elements Peak.
"That's right, Lei Chuang, so are you. After all, your Lei family is also a big Immortal Cultivation family in Shen State, and you are a registered disciple of the Cultivation Sect. Are you still afraid of the disciples of Five Elements Peak? There are only five of them in total." Zhuge Ji was there. Fanning the flames, he said, "I heard that you had a share in the worship of Wu Yan, the greedy boy. Maybe that boy has already held a grudge against you. When Elder Jin comes back, he will also cause trouble for you. Instead of being so passive, why don't you go talk to Elder Lei Lie? After all, he is also from your Lei family. Although he has a bad relationship with your Lei family, he is still a family, right? With the support of the monks in the later period, coupled with the intimidation of the Great Elder Ding Huo, I believe that even if Elder Jin comes back, he will not protect the boy. Shouldn't we hand him over obediently and accept the investigation and punishment of the sect? "
"Yes, nephew Lei Chuang, your uncle Zhuge is right. You and Elder Lei are from the same family, why don't you go and talk about it? Maybe you are lucky enough to repair the relationship between Elder Lei and the Lei family. Elder Lei I'm happy to give you some panacea that can help you build your foundation, and also help you succeed in building your foundation in one fell swoop? And if it succeeds, won't you have another big supporter in our sect?" Hearing Zhuge? Zhao Dong was also moved by Ji's clever plan and advised him from the side.
