Chapter 1168 – Returning to Tiannan
Within moments, Han Li landed on a platform somewhere on the waist of a small mountain. Looking at the seemingly ordinary piece of mountain wall in front of him. With a flick of his sleeve robe, a green haze swept over.
After a “poof” sound, the green haze struck the stone wall, suddenly erupting a wave of haze light.
Immediately the stone wall as if phantom-like a blur, now a few feet high huge stone door. The door on the white aura flickering, a look is to be added to the prohibition on it.
Han Li surveyed a few eyes, raised his hand and released a fire, a flash of light into the stone door disappeared.
After a moment’s effort, the stone door came a woman’s pleasantly surprised voice: “So it’s senior Han to, please senior later, the late couple will come out to welcome the senior.”
Along with the sound of the words fell, a few breaths of effort, the stone door on the white light flashed wildly a few times, became ordinary and strange up. Then the rumbling sound came, the stone door slowly opened, and then from inside came out two women and one man.
It was precisely the Wen Si Yue couple and the young girl named Tian Qin’er.
After Han Li’s gaze turned on the young girl’s face, his heart was slightly stunned.
Because the original scorched face, extremely thin young girl, at this moment even turned into a young girl with a clear appearance, between the eyebrows and eyes vaguely have its mother’s a few points of delicate color.
It seemed that this woman had been well conditioned after expelling the toxicity cleanly, and this should be the original face of the young girl.
”See senior Han! I didn’t expect senior to arrive so soon, Si Yue didn’t welcome me from afar, I hope senior will forgive me!” Because Wen Siyue and Han Li were familiar with each other, the delicate young woman took the initiative to step forward to give Han Li a curt salute, her face full of moving smiles.
”My trip was relatively smooth and I didn’t encounter any setbacks, so naturally I came a bit earlier than planned.” Han Li waved his hand, telling the three to not be polite.
”However, the late couple could have been looking forward to senior’s arrival long ago. Seniors also walked to the cave to have a seat.” Wen Siyue smiled sweetly before sidestepping her body and saying in a well-behaved manner.
”Well, also good. I also want to test this girl as soon as possible, how well she has comprehended the formation book I gave her. If it truly satisfies me, I’ll take her under my tutelage.” Han Li nodded and said without moving before taking another look at the young girl.
Tian Qin’er hurriedly lowered her head with a slight blush on her face at Han Li’s glance.
On the other hand, Wen Siyue and the middle-aged man surnamed Tian were overjoyed at the words and hurriedly let Han Li into the cave.
Han Li this is a day and a night time, during this period of time Wen Si Yue couple’s four Foundation Establishment stage disciples also came together to the cave to pay a visit to Han Li and the others once, which the old man also brought a rather seventeen or eighteen years of age or so of the young man, they also entered the cave, but also did not come out right away.
Then over a day later, a green rainbow shot out from the hill, hidden in the light was a man and a woman two. Then flashed a few flashes, the green rainbow disappeared without a trace.
A month later, and the chaotic star sea is not known how many millions of miles away from the mainland mainland, Tiannan Yue country territory, a huge canyon in the wilderness, several cultivators wearing black robes in the peak of the valley in the low altitude of the Royal flying, although the brother figure dashing, but the speed of recluse is incredibly slow, it seems to be the cultivation of the low-level cultivators not high.
These several black-robed cultivators flew for a period of time, suddenly flew to one side of the gorge wall, a moment did not enter a hidden abnormal cave.
And after a few people walked slightly more than ten feet inside, a stone door that flashed with forbidden spiritual light appeared in front of them.
A vicious black-robed man seems to be the leader of the people, he took a few steps to the stone door, two hands pinch knots, at the same time in the mouth read words, a while later, only after the hand was raised, a spell played, a flash of light did not enter the stone door, swung a few flashes of spiritual light.
After the stone door gently shook, it slowly rose.
”Which senior disciple from the gate has arrived?” A few people have not yet walked in, a lazy business came over, then a mass of black gas from the cave shot out, after a flash to the big man in front of the place, and then the shadowy gas dispersed, appearing a pale old man out.
”Oh, who did I say it was, it turns out it’s Master Meng. Could it be that the disciple on duty this time is Senior Brother?” The old man originally had a gloomy face, but upon seeing the big man he was slightly stunned, but immediately replaced it with a smile and came out.
It was no wonder that the big man had a mid Foundation Establishment cultivation while the old man was only an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, so naturally, he didn’t dare to be slow.
”Not bad, Senior Fan! I was ordered to come and take over from senior brother to guard the spirit mine here. Is the cave inside the entrance to the ore vein?” The big man was not polite and asked directly with an expressionless face.
”Haha, Senior Brother Meng is really acute. The entrance to the Spirit Mine is indeed inside. However, did Senior Brother only bring these few people here? It seems like the manpower is a bit too small, right?” After the old man surveyed the few people behind the big man, he became a bit strange again.
”Now our Ghost Spirit Sect is not like the previous years, most of the disciples are used to guard against the Royal Spirit Sect and the Demon Flame Sect, these are still the ones I’ve taken great pains to get from the Deacon Hall. Luckily, this place is also considered the hinterland of our sect, it’s just a matter of managing some mortals, they’re also enough to use.” The big man grunted, seemingly greatly dissatisfied as well.
”That makes sense, but Senior Brother Meng will have to work harder in the future.” The old man could only nod helplessly when he heard this from the big man.
”Alright, senior brother should still take me to the land of the ore veins first, so that I can understand the situation here.” The big man’s gaze glanced towards the cave, but said so.
”This is natural, senior brother follow me.” The old man nodded his head, and immediately with a pinch, after closing that stone door again, he led the adult and his party towards the deep outside of the cave.
As a result, in the middle of the cave, a turn to the west, after walking a short distance, the ground in front of them appeared a huge crack about a few feet wide, inside there was a faint white light flashing, vaguely leading straight to the underground appearance.
And at the entrance of the crack, there are two black-robed cultivators of Qi Refining Stage sitting cross-legged on both sides, but the moment they saw the old man and the big man walked over, these two people were shocked and hurriedly came over to salute.
With a bashful wave of his hand, the old man led the big man and a few others directly into the crack.
A quarter of an hour later, the old man with the big man will be underground vein passage turned most of the way, in these passages densely packed, quite complex and complicated, there are a lot of hired young and strong mortal men, in the hard work of digging up the spirit stone of the upper work. The old man is leading the way, while pointing around, seems to be familiar with every inch of the place exceptionally looks.
It was no wonder! Anyone who had stayed here for more than ten years would be able to recognize all the passages with their eyes closed.
The big man, however, listened all the way with a somber face and did not speak easily.
A few people turn again, suddenly in front of another channel, diagonally down, seems to lead to a deeper underground look.
The black-robed old saw this passage but frowned, shook his head after actually did not bring the big man and other people to walk through the meaning, but a turn around to bring behind a few people returned to the appearance.
”Senior Fan, where does this lead to? Why don’t you bring us over to take a look?” The big man looked at this passageway for a few moments, but stopped in his tracks and asked in a somewhat strange manner.
”Many years ago, this used to be a forbidden place, and the sect used to send some disciples specifically to guard this place, but now it has long been abandoned. Those manpower were also withdrawn back.” The old man casually returned.
”Forbidden land? What exactly is inside? Why is it abandoned again.” When the big man heard this, he became even more interested.
”There’s nothing inside, it’s just an ancient teleportation array, but this teleportation array has obviously been abandoned for a long time, and can’t be used at all. As for why it was previously used as a forbidden place, and then later withdrawn. I’m not too sure. However, it seems to be somewhat related to Senior Uncle Wang Zen?” The old man hesitated for a moment, seemingly feeling insignificant, but still told truthfully.
”Senior uncle Wang, is the original ……” The big man suddenly startled, but the words in his mouth rattled off, as if he was extremely afraid of something.
”Master brother knows on the line. Master Wang’s matter, is not something you and I can discuss.” The old man snorted and said with great meaning.
”Since that’s the case, could senior brother first bring me forward to take a look. I won’t hide it from Senior Fan, Senior Brother has been studying the way of formations these past few years, and I’m still very curious about the Ancient Teleportation Formation.” The big man was silent for a moment but then suddenly said.
”Senior brother is studying the way of formations? It can be quite far to go there, it will take quite a few tens of years.” The old man was dumbfounded at his words and showed a few odd colors.
”Senior Brother Fan doesn’t have to be strange. I also know the truth that greed is not good enough. But I’ve hit a bottleneck in my cultivation right now, so I can only use various methods to stimulate it. Maybe in studying the way of formations, I’ll just happen to touch on something.” The big man said with a sigh.
”Since that’s the case, then my brother will lead the way for senior brother. But if you really want to study this teleportation formation, it’s best to find another time.” The old man could only say so when he heard the big man say so.
When the big man heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
So a few people in the group, walked towards the front passage on this.
In the blink of an eye, several people, entered a deeper underground passage.
After a meal’s worth of walking, under the old man’s leadership, they entered a four-way chain of stalactite caves.
This place actually seemed like a small labyrinth, but walking along some obvious marking symbols, several people finally stopped in a stalactite cave that was not small in size.
This was because in the corner of this cave, there was a hexagonal shaped ancient teleportation array.
”Senior brother, this is the place!” The old man made a point at that ancient teleportation array and said to the big man.
”Tsk, this is the ancient teleportation array. I could have only seen some rough introductions in some canonical books before, and I really haven’t had the chance to see it in physical form, Senior Brother.”
As soon as the big man saw the teleportation array, his eyes immediately lit up, then he took a few steps over, circled around a few times, and then gazed up.
The old man, on the other hand, cupped his hand over his beard and looked at the side with a smile on his face.
As for those few low level disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, although there was some curiosity in their hearts, they naturally didn’t dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with the big man, and just stood honestly at the entrance and stayed there.
”I heard someone say that this teleportation array is actually intact. The reason why it can’t be activated is only because the other side of the spell formation is mostly out of order. Otherwise, I really want to know where this teleportation array can lead to. However, in the future, Senior Brother will be guarding this place for more than ten years, so there will be plenty of time to study it. Let’s go back now.” After the big man had looked for a while, the old man felt that it was about time, and after casually saying a few words under his breath, he urged the big man to move back.
”Going back, I don’t think it’s necessary. This place is so secluded, senior brother stay here forever.” The big man with his back to the old man did not raise his head, but bizarre words came out of his mouth.
The old man was startled upon hearing these words, and then his heart chilled, but before he could react, he suddenly felt a coldness at his neck.
A sword light flashed past, and the head rolled down.
The old man’s headless body swayed and fell to the ground!
