Chapter 956 - Chapter 957 Winding Paths Through Peaks and Ranges

Lin Xinghe was, of course, aware that Shuang Wuyan was being controlled by Li Yan. Every few years, Zhang Ming would give Shuang Wuyan a pill as an antidote.

Moreover, Senior Brother Xing Ming had also told him that no matter what, he had to treat Shuang Wuyan well in other aspects to compensate for her dissatisfaction.

But Lin Xinghe didn't know that this time, Li Yan had given a complete antidote pill. All the poison in Shuang Wuyan's body would be completely cleared.

If Lin Xinghe received the pill, he would subconsciously think it was the same as in previous years, and that every few years, another pill would be sent back from Su Yuan to continue controlling Shuang Wuyan.

Li Yan didn't tell Lin Xinghe that he would let Shuang Wuyan regain her freedom because he was afraid that Lin Xinghe might have a change of heart and withhold the pill.

Li Yan had to guard against this. In the entire "Falling Star Valley," he only trusted Su Yuan and Xing Ming to some extent.

And as long as Shuang Wuyan swallowed this pill, she would know the result.

As for whether she would stay in "Falling Star Valley" in the future or leave with Shuang Chongshan's family, Li Yan would no longer inquire.

In the sky, Qianchong Zhenjun flew east with Li Yan.

"If I find out that the path to leave the Forsaken Continent is already problematic, then the most likely next step is to come back and have the 'Sacred Demon Palace' open the super cross-realm teleportation grand formation.

That is also the fastest way for you to leave. However, at that time, your location will be known to the 'Sacred Demon Palace,' and you will need to be careful afterwards.

I am just a wisp of divine will. I can still intimidate them by occasionally borrowing the power of heaven and earth. But if I want to tear open the void and take you away from here, the consumption would be too great.

I might dissipate midway. After all, after tearing open the void, one is in the Chaotic Flow Space. No one can say for sure where the next node exit is.

Everything can only depend on one's own strength and luck. If things go wrong, it's possible to drift in there for a thousand years.

My divine will would be protecting you constantly in the Chaotic Flow Space, and I don't know when it would be completely consumed. In that case, you would surely die."

Qianchong Zhenjun said to Li Yan, who was beside him. Li Yan immediately bowed.

"Martial Uncle, as long as we can leave the Forsaken Continent, no matter how great their divine abilities are, the experts of the 'Sacred Demon Palace' wouldn't dare to appear on other continents at will.

We should only need to pay attention to the mid-level cultivator disciples they send out."

Qianchong Zhenjun nodded. Li Yan was right. Let alone Spirit Transformation cultivators, even if Nascent Soul cultivators appeared on other continents, it would arouse a high degree of vigilance from the other side.

The path of cultivation, of course, had to be walked by oneself. No one could protect you all the way!

...

In the rear mountain dense forest of the "Sacred Demon Palace."

"They've left!"

Under a giant tree, the white-haired youth looked up in a certain direction. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through multiple obstacles and see the distant horizon.

Qianchong Zhenjun had not concealed his aura before, and it was also intentionally done for them to see.

"This human great power should have come to receive his sect's disciples. I just don't know if his departure this time is to completely leave the Forsaken Continent, or if he will hide with Zhao Min and the others?"

The beautiful woman, also sitting cross-legged under another large tree, said softly, her tone full of worry.

"Besides the matter of Zhao Min, is there any difference from before?"

The white-haired youth didn't turn his head. He also seemed to be murmuring.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's fine brows furrowed slightly, and then she nodded slightly.

Yes, as long as the other party was not targeting the White Demon Clan, what did it matter? As her senior brother said, what pained them was only Zhao Min's departure from the "Sacred Demon Palace."

The Divine Senses of the two were fixed on the distance. After the Daoist and the human cultivator rose into the air and paused for a moment, they completely disappeared from sight.

Even with the Divine Senses of the white-haired youth and the beautiful woman, which could cover the entire continent, they could no longer detect any trace of their aura.

It was just like the important areas of the Black Demon Clan. They could only reach them with their Divine Senses, but they were shielded by others and could not see through them...

After Qianchong Zhenjun finished a few simple words with Li Yan, Li Yan felt his vision blur, and then everything went dark.

Then, he was shocked to find that he had arrived at the bottom of a deep sea. He and Qianchong Zhenjun were standing on the side of an undersea mountain peak. The surroundings were pitch black and as silent as eternal antiquity.

"We've arrived!"

Qianchong Zhenjun's voice came from his ear. As he spoke, he was also looking around, as if searching for something.

'That was too fast. But... why does this place look a little familiar!'

Li Yan felt that the surrounding scenery was somewhat familiar. He felt that it was very similar to a place he had been to decades ago.

He was a little dazed, because the place he had gone to back then was quite far from "Sacred Demon City." Even if he flew at full speed on the "Cloud-Piercing Willow," it would have taken nearly ten days.

And just now, his vision had only blurred for a moment.

"This is a place your Senior Brother Bu Chong discovered back then. He left a Divine Sense imprint here. But what's interesting is that someone has set up another layer of illusion formation here to cover it up.

It shouldn't have been Bu Chong's doing. Although this illusion formation is not bad, it can only work on some cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

It seems this place has already been discovered by others, so it's hard to say whether the passage for you to leave inside has been destroyed."

Qianchong Zhenjun looked around. When Li Yan heard the phrase "a place your Senior Brother Bu Chong discovered back then," a scene from his memory immediately flooded his mind.

It was the information he had obtained from soul-searching two demonic beasts back then.

"Could it really be such a coincidence?"

Just as Li Yan was contemplating, Qianchong Zhenjun at his side had already taken a casual step forward, and an invisible force carried Li Yan along.

Li Yan's vision quickly passed through a hazy patch again, and then a bright light entered his eyes.

Then, Li Yan's expression became a little dazed, because he and Qianchong Zhenjun were standing at the edge of a square, and three cave residence entrances were facing them.

Looking at the somewhat familiar place, although Li Yan had already had some guesses in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little dazed when he saw that it was the same as his guess.

"What's wrong? Judging by your expression, it seems you've been here before?"

What kind of person was Qianchong Zhenjun? From the changes in Li Yan's expression, he had already guessed the reason.

"Martial Uncle, this disciple has indeed been here before. This is an empty cave residence left by an ancient cultivator, guarded by a group of 'Dark Spirit Demon Bats'!"

"Hehe, it seems you've really met that group of demonic beasts. For you to be able to escape from their hands, it makes me a little more confident in your self-preservation ability. No wonder they seem a little hostile towards you."

As he said this, Qianchong Zhenjun glanced out of the corner of his eye at a corner of the square. There, under layers of restrictions, a few 'Dark Spirit Demon Bats' were looking in this direction.

Qianchong Zhenjun's mortal-like aura, and his unfathomable means of easily entering here from the bottom of the sea just now, made them feel an inexplicable fear.

However, their gazes towards Li Yan were filled with a great deal of hostility.

When Li Yan saw Qianchong Zhenjun glance in a certain direction, he knew that after the forbidden land had been cut off by Meng Zhiyuan, he still couldn't sense it with his cultivation.

But he also knew that those 'Dark Spirit Demon Bats' were already secretly watching.

After Qianchong Zhenjun and he had arrived here, they had not concealed their figures. As long as the other party was not stupid, they would not take the initiative to come and cause trouble.

Li Yan was still pondering other matters in his heart. Combining Qianchong Zhenjun's previous words in the "Earthen Patch," he already understood who the white-robed cultivator who had come here and killed several six-winged 'Dark Spirit Demon Bats' was.

It was the one whose name he had only heard but had not seen, Pei Buchong. In that case, he had come here to find clues about Qianchong Zhenjun's departure...

A thought moved in Li Yan's mind, and he had already thought of a certain possibility.

"Martial Uncle, is the passage you mentioned in the 'Celestial Spirit Grotto'?"

Li Yan's thoughts were now completely focused on how to leave.

However, when he turned his head again and his gaze swept over the three cave residences, his sight lingered for a moment on the "Jade Balance Grotto," and a complex feeling that was hard to describe flashed through his heart.

He knew that that female demonic general should have already left. Otherwise, with Qianchong Zhenjun's ability, he would have long since detected someone inside a cave residence that he himself could enter.

"It seems you have also been to the other two empty cave residences before. You are right. As for the specific situation, you will know when you go in!"

Qianchong Zhenjun could see at a glance that the restrictions outside the "Flowing Wave Grotto" and "Jade Balance Grotto" had been forcibly broken and then resealed by someone.

At this time, Qianchong Zhenjun also understood the purpose of someone re-concealing the outside with an illusion formation.

'The person who set up the formation was definitely not at Li Yan's level. That person also set up the formation to conceal this place after being unable to break the last cave residence entrance, so as to slowly crack it later!'

The restriction on the "Celestial Spirit Grotto" was still intact. However, when one's cultivation reached a certain level, some restrictions, in their eyes, still had many flaws.

So, they usually no longer forcibly broke them, but directly entered through the loopholes in the formation.

Pei Buchong had done so back then, and just now, Qianchong Zhenjun had brought Li Yan in from the outside in the same way.

'Indeed, there is no one in those two cave residences!'

Li Yan got a definite answer from his Martial Uncle, and his heart finally relaxed. If that female demonic general had suddenly appeared here, he really didn't know if he would have let his Martial Uncle kill her.

Qianchong Zhenjun said no more. He suddenly placed the snow-white horsetail whisk in his hand on Li Yan's shoulder, and immediately, a layer of yellow light coated Li Yan's entire body.

At the same time, Qianchong Zhenjun's voice sounded in his ear.

"The restriction here is not comparable to the other formations and restrictions here. It was set up by a Spirit Transformation realm formation grandmaster. One misstep and you will be ground to dust by the restriction, with no bones left. Hehehe!!"

The moment his voice fell, Li Yan felt as if he had traveled through a thousand mountains and ten thousand waters in an instant. Countless images flashed past his eyes, but they were so fast that even his Divine Sense couldn't see them clearly.

When the last frame of the picture was fixed, Li Yan found himself standing in a huge stone chamber.

This stone chamber was a thousand zhang high and ten thousand zhang wide, appearing exceptionally grand, not at all as ordinary as it looked from outside the cave residence.

The stone chamber was circular, with a huge platform in the middle. At this moment, it was emitting a faint white light, making the area near the platform a hazy white, while the distant surroundings were as dark as ink.

Qianchong Zhenjun and Li Yan stood in a corner. From their perspective, they were like two ants standing in a kingdom of giants.

Li Yan's Divine Sense swept around, and he found that behind him was a circle of walls with semi-arched stone gates. Each stone gate was a hundred zhang high and about fifty zhang wide.

They were separated by about ten zhang. At a glance, they looked like caves. After a quick sweep of his Divine Sense, his gaze fell on the center.

"Is that a teleportation formation?"

"Yes, it's a cross-realm super teleportation formation. It seems your luck is not bad. There are no signs of damage by any experts here!

The teleportation formation looks fine, but I still need to test it before I can be sure!"

As Qianchong Zhenjun spoke, he had already moved the horsetail whisk from Li Yan's shoulder and was walking towards the huge platform in the center of the stone chamber.

"Martial Uncle, is this a teleportation formation leading to the Verdant Continent?"

Li Yan hurriedly followed, his heart already filled with joy. Although his formation skills were not high, he could at least see that this formation was not obviously damaged.

"From Bu Chong's description back then, since this 'Dark Spirit Demon Bat' clan has pledged allegiance to the Verdant Continent side, and they are guarding here, then this should be the way to that realm.

This kind of cross-realm teleportation grand formation has a name and a special purpose. It is called the 'Chencang Passage'!"

The footsteps of the two echoed continuously as they walked forward in the empty stone chamber...
