Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

When Yan Yun's escape light completely disappeared in the hall, the enchanting woman breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stroked her chest, saying with great emotion.

It was as if he had just experienced a life-and-death test.

After hearing this, cultivator Gan looked at the female cultivator with sharp eyes, and said in a voice that only the three foundation-building cultivators could hear:
"Please do not speculate! This person is a high-level cultivator, and his spiritual awareness is far more powerful than you can imagine. If you continue to talk here, I am afraid he will still notice you."

When the charming woman heard this, she was shocked and immediately became well-behaved.

The sturdy man in yellow robe and the old man in green robe looked at each other, and then said they would stop talking.

The monk named Gan sat quietly on the chair, his head slightly tilted, his pupils gray and white with a hint of coldness.

After about a quarter of an hour, the light in the middle-aged man's eyes gradually faded.

"He should have left this place for more than a thousand miles. I guess he can no longer sense this place. However, to ensure safety, we still need to act with caution."

"After the middle-aged man surnamed Gan finished speaking, he flicked his finger lightly, and a flash of emerald green light instantly sank into a huge pillar nearby.

As the temple pillar roared, the entire pillar emitted a faint green light, and the other temple pillars around it also resonated with it. Then, as the light flashed, a layer of green light as thin as a cicada's wing was formed, covering an area of ​​several feet in radius.

"Now, we can talk without worries."

After finishing all this, the middle-aged man surnamed Gan said with a slightly relieved look on his face.

"Master is really too cautious."

This time, the charming woman smiled helplessly.

"Faced with such a strong opponent, we must remain vigilant at all times."

The middle-aged man surnamed Gan responded coldly.

"Uncle Master is absolutely right. Moreover, cultivators who have reached such a level of cultivation often have very strange personalities. If any of our words touch their sensitive spots, it may bring disaster to our sect."

“However, as far as I know, there is no such man and woman among the well-known Yuanying seniors in our Chaos Star Sea. But from the tone of this man just now, he seems to be very familiar with the situation in Chaos Star Sea, and does not seem to be a cultivator from outside. Perhaps they are really ascetics who have been practicing in seclusion.”

The sturdy man in yellow robe hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly.

The old man in green shirt frowned, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Shi Xuan, what are you thinking about?"

The middle-aged man noticed the old man's abnormality and took the initiative to ask.

"I just thought about it carefully, and this person seems familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before."

The old man in green raised his head and spoke slowly.

"Have you seen this man?"

When these words were spoken, everyone else was shocked and turned their eyes to the old man.

The seductive woman couldn't help asking, "There's nothing special about this man's appearance. Could it be that Senior Brother remembered him wrongly?"

"Although this person has an ordinary appearance, I am sure that I have seen him before, but it seems that a long time has passed. ...Oh, his last name is Yan! I finally remembered that this person was the one being hunted down in the extermination order issued by the Anti-Star Alliance!"

The green-shirted old man's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice.

"An order to kill? Hunting down a Yuanying stage cultivator? Why am I totally unaware of this?"

The monk surnamed Gan was shocked at first, and then his face became extremely gloomy.

"Master, you have misunderstood! The killing order clearly states that this person is only a Jindan cultivator and has not yet condensed a Yuanying. Moreover, Master was in the stage of retreat and cultivation at that time, and Junior Brother Quan and Junior Sister Jing had not yet established their foundation. At that time, Senior Brother Ma and I were jointly handling the affairs of the sect. We only sent some disciples to deal with this matter hastily, so we did not report it to Master. By the way, this incident happened nearly two hundred years ago, and I still have the jade slip of the communication from that year."

The old man explained with sweat on his face, and immediately rummaged through his storage bag, took out a ghost-faced jade slip and handed it to the middle-aged monk.

"How can this be possible! Could it be that in such a short period of time, the other party was able to break through from the Jindan stage to the late Yuanying stage?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Gan's expression became even gloomier, but he still took the jade slip and probed into it with his spiritual sense.

After just two glances, the middle-aged man's expression changed several times in an instant, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The image presented in the jade slip, a man in green clothes with a smile on his face, was undoubtedly Yan Yun who had just left. The expressions of the two were exactly the same, and it was definitely impossible for them to be other people with similar looks.

The middle-aged man surnamed Gan had an overwhelming emotion in his heart. He read all the information in the jade slip word by word, then withdrew his consciousness and fell into deep thought, not saying a word for a long time.

Seeing how serious the middle-aged cultivator was, not only the old man in green and the big man in yellow robe, but even the enchanting woman remained silent, as if everything was left to the decision of this elder of the sect.

"It seems that I did misunderstand you, nephew. The person that the Anti-Star Alliance is hunting down is indeed the person who just left. But you must remember that you must not reveal a single word of this matter to the outside world."

"The Anti-Star Alliance is powerful, but this person is no longer the Jindan-stage cultivator he was back then. I really don't want our sect to be involved in their dispute. Otherwise, if we offend any of the forces, even a small Kumen Island will not be able to withstand their anger."

The middle-aged man surnamed Gan had a firm expression and spoke in a cold tone.

"understand!"

The green-shirted old man, the yellow-robed man, and the enchanting woman all looked solemn and answered in unison. "You three must not leave our sect without permission in the next ten years. You must concentrate on practicing in the cave. I have a bad feeling that two great monks will be born in the near future, and one of them is said to be involved with the Anti-Star Alliance. I am afraid that the situation in this Chaos Star Sea will become even more chaotic. In addition, other disciples must also abide by their duties and avoid going out unless necessary. In order to prevent the news from leaking, our sect needs to close the mountain gate for a period of time!"

The middle-aged man had obviously considered everything carefully before issuing instructions one by one, which surprised the three people present and they all bowed their heads and obeyed.

Afterwards, the three of them bowed respectfully, left the hall, and began to carry out the order to close the mountain issued by the middle-aged monk.

Only the middle-aged man surnamed Gan was left sitting alone on the main throne in the hall. Under the faint crystal light, his face changed from time to time, as if there were some important matters to be dealt with that were difficult to make up his mind about.

"Forget it. Even if this person is really the cultivator who obtained the Xutian Ding back then, then this huge tripod is the Xutian Ding. What does it have to do with me? Maybe there is someone who can snatch the treasure from the great cultivator, but it will never be me. Once the news leaks out, I am afraid it will bring endless disasters to me!"

After a long period of thought, the monk surnamed Gan finally sighed helplessly, his face full of self-mockery, and slowly stood up.

Then, he waved his wide sleeves, turned into a bright blue light and rushed away, disappearing into the night sky in a flash. No one knew where he went.

The hall returned to silence again, seeming particularly deserted.

At this moment, Yan Yun, who had already left the island, naturally had no idea that the Huangsha Sect had investigated his past identity so clearly. Even the secret that the Xutian Ding was on him was keenly noticed by the cultivator named Gan.

This was also expected. Ordinary practitioners knew very little about the rumor that the Xutian Ding had been lost from the Xutian Palace earlier. However, among many Nascent Soul stage practitioners, this news had already spread widely.

If Yan Yun had not accidentally traveled into the ghost fog, and had not been able to return to Tiannan's place of practice at the right time, and had not left any traces of his stay in the chaotic star sea, then no matter what, he would probably be hunted down by those powerful Nascent Soul stage masters one day.

As for Yan Yun, who was on the hunting list of the Anti-Star Alliance, it was naturally because of the anger taken by Patriarch Ji Yin and others after a long period of fruitless searching. They tried to use this method to force Yan Yun to have nowhere to hide and thus actively expose his whereabouts.

However, time flies, and the Xu Tian Ding incident has long become a legend. Although the order to hunt down Yan Yun has never been revoked, this order has long been forgotten among the practitioners of both good and evil.

However, when the news of Xutian Palace seeing the light of day again came, it quickly spread to the surrounding sea areas.

It turned out that although most of the cultivators who witnessed all this on Kumen Island were insignificant low-level cultivators, there were still two Jindan stage cultivators who passed by here.

They happened to have read relevant records about Xutian Palace in ancient books, so they regarded this incident as a strange story and spread it widely.

As the rumors continued to spread, the scene of that day became more confusing. The story of how Bing Feng ruthlessly defeated the Yuanying stage cultivator eventually evolved into a version where Hun Lao Mo was killed by two Yuanying stage cultivators after a tough battle.

In this way, although this news still caused a certain degree of sensation, it was obviously much less than the shocking news of two late-stage cultivators appearing at the same time. On the contrary, Yan Yun was teleported out of the Xutian Palace that day, and he drove the huge cauldron transformed from the Xutian Cauldron, which made many people involuntarily associate him with his past identity. Therefore, many Yuanying stage cultivators began to be eager to try.

Yan Yun was not aware of the existence of the hunting order, nor was he aware that the vast majority of Nascent Soul cultivators and major sects held his true portrait.

If this were not the case, he would have changed his appearance long ago and remained vigilant at all times.

Although his current magical powers are enough to deal with the siege of ordinary practitioners, he is also unwilling to cause any unnecessary trouble so as not to waste precious time.

Now, he turned into a ray of green light and rushed straight towards the direction of Tianxing City according to the map of the nearby sea area. On the way, Yan Yun did pass by several islands.

Every time he would buy up all the high-level spirit stones in the island's market, either exchanging them for precious treasures or rare materials.

In this way, he successfully obtained more than twenty high-level spirit stones.

This made Yan Yun very happy, and his desire for the mineral vein became stronger.

During the journey, Yan Yun naturally met many practitioners, most of whom were of low-level cultivation.

With Yan Yun's current magical powers, he naturally didn't need to get entangled with these people anymore. He didn't even say hello to anyone, but just flew past from high above.

Among these practitioners, only a few with higher cultivation levels looked up in confusion in the direction where Yan Yun left. The others were unaware of this. They didn't even know that they had passed by a late Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yan Yun flew for more than a month. A gradually enlarging black spot appeared on the sea. After a few more hours, he finally saw the towering holy mountain of Tianxing City in the distance. A smile appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, suddenly more than a dozen flashing lights appeared from the opposite sky. They formed a team and rushed towards the direction where Yan Yun was.

Yan Yun's consciousness swept over from a distance, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. There were quite a lot of practitioners in this team, including four or five Jindan stage practitioners, and even a high-level practitioner in the early Yuanying stage.

What was even more surprising was that the aura emanating from this Nascent Soul cultivator actually gave Yan Yun a sense of familiarity. A hint of doubt flashed across Yan Yun's eyes, but he did not move, nor did he perform any escape techniques to hide his figure.

A team wearing the unique Xinggong monk uniforms of Tianxing City was traveling through space, just leaving Tianxing City and heading in a certain direction. Yan Yun in the team was hovering in front of the team without any scruples, and was obviously easily noticed by these monks.

They immediately became puzzled and flew over quickly, arriving at where Yan Yun was in just a few breaths.

However, at this moment, Yan Yun had already used the technique of concealing his energy, completely hiding his own cultivation.

Therefore, no matter whether they were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Core Formation Stage, when their spiritual thoughts swept over Yan Yun, they could only sense a vague cloud of mist and were unable to determine Yan Yun's exact level of cultivation.

At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the opposite team. Yan Yun was also startled, and turned to look at a monk wearing a snow-white cloak. The monk's whole body was covered in a large cloak, and his gender was difficult to identify. Moreover, Yan Yun's powerful divine consciousness could not penetrate the cloak.

Yan Yun was suddenly filled with surprise!
However, the aura emitted by this cultivator made Yan Yun feel inexplicably familiar. He was also the only cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, so Yan Yun naturally could not let him go so easily.

A blue light flashed in Yan Yun's eyes, and he was ready to use Mingqing Lingmu to forcibly penetrate the opponent's cloak.

"So it's Brother Yan who's here. It's been a long time since we last met. How's Brother Yan doing?"

However, at this moment, a magnetic and elegant laugh came from the cloak, and the figure in the deep of the cloak suddenly reached out and untied the cloak, revealing a face as white as jade, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. (End of this chapter)
