Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

As soon as Yan Yun opened his mouth, he shot a strong green spiritual energy into the center of the formation and began to silently recite a mysterious spell.

"In an instant, the green and white spiritual light leaking out of the array disk shone together, forming a sharp contrast, making the entire space particularly dazzling."

He gently opened one hand and lightly touched the surface of the array plate with his index finger.

In an instant, the light on the surface of the array disk quickly converged and became as clear and transparent as a mirror.

And in a corner of this mirror, a faint red light is constantly flashing.

When Yan Yun saw this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then he held up the magical disk with one hand and flew into the air.

After he determined a direction in mid-air, he rushed towards that direction.

A few quarters of an hour later, Yan Yun appeared above a remote area on the island, looking down at a quiet manor with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

"Is this the former Gu Family Village? Why would Wen Siyue and her family choose to live in such a place?"

Yan Yun muttered to himself in a low voice, seeming to be very surprised by the scene before him, and also full of confusion.

Yan Yun was so bold as to hover directly above the manor for such a long time, which naturally caused a commotion among the ordinary people in the manor.

After a while, two bright lights suddenly flew out from the houses below, disappeared in a flash, and appeared in front of Yan Yun.

Then the light gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of two old men and a middle-aged man, all of whom had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"So it's you guys?"

Yan Yun glanced at the two of them and frowned slightly.

However, when the two men saw Yan Yun's appearance in the air, their faces suddenly changed, and they immediately stepped forward respectfully to salute.

"Greetings, Senior Yan. We didn't know you were here. Please forgive us for our impoliteness!"

These two people turned out to be the four foundation-building disciples of Wen Siyue and his wife.

They had already known Yan Yun's identity as a great monk, so they were naturally trembling with fear at this moment, not daring to be careless in any way.

"Why did you choose to live here, and where is your master?"

Yan Yun had a calm expression and asked directly.

"This was originally the residence of one of our registered disciples, so we decided to bring Master and others here to live together. Master and his wife felt that this place was too noisy, so they took Junior Sister and moved into a temporary cave next to the manor."

The old man replied respectfully.

"Is this registered disciple of yours a direct descendant of the Gu family?"

Yan Yun asked with a strange look on his face.

"Exactly! I wonder if you have heard of the Gu family?"

The old man couldn't help but feel nervous.

"The former head of the Gu family does have some connection with me, but that was more than 200 years ago."

Yan Yun said slowly.

"Is there such a thing?"

The old man was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked dumbfounded.

"Since I have returned to this familiar place again, it seems that I do have a deep connection with the Gu family. I will go to visit your master first, and you can ask the registered disciple of the Gu family to come and see me later."

Yan Yun ordered in a firm tone.

"Yes, I will definitely follow the instructions of my seniors!"

The old man was shocked and delighted, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Although he didn't know what kind of connection existed between Yan Yun and the Gu family, he could tell from Yan Yun's words that their relationship should not be too bad.

Yan Yun nodded slightly, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found the presence of Wen Siyue and his wife and others on a nearby low hill. He then turned into a ray of green light and sped away.

In an instant, Yan Yun landed on a flat spot on the hillside of a small hill. He raised his eyes and gazed at the seemingly ordinary mountain wall in front of him.

With a wave of his right hand, a green light suddenly came like a gust of wind.

"thump"

After a crisp sound, the green light hit the mountain wall heavily, and suddenly a dazzling light burst out.

Then the stone wall became blurred as if an illusion, revealing a giant stone door several feet high.

There was a flickering white light above the stone gate, and one could tell at a glance that there were prohibitions attached to it.

Yan Yun observed it carefully, then raised his left hand and released a ray of fire, which instantly disappeared into the stone gate.

A moment later, a woman's pleasant and surprising voice came from inside the stone gate:
"So it's Senior Yan who has arrived. I beg you to wait for a moment. My husband and I will come out to greet you soon."

As these words slowly fell, within a few breaths, the white light on the stone door flickered wildly several times before returning to its original state. Then there was a roar, and the stone door slowly opened, and two women and a man walked out.

They were Wen Siyue and his wife and the girl named Tian Qiner.

Yan Yun's gaze lingered on the girl's face for a moment, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Because the girl who originally had a pale face and a thin body has now turned into a beautiful girl, and some of her mother's charm can be vaguely seen between her eyebrows.

Obviously, this girl has been carefully conditioned after removing toxins, and this is her true appearance.

"Greetings, Senior Yan! I didn't expect you to arrive here so quickly. Siyue was unable to go out to greet you in person. I hope you can forgive me!"

Since Wen Siyue was the only one who was familiar with Yan Yun among the crowd, this charming young woman took the initiative to step forward and show Yan Yun the respect of a junior, with a sweet smile on her face.

"The trip went smoothly without any obstacles, so we arrived at the scheduled location ahead of schedule."

Yan Yun waved his hand gently, indicating to the three people that there was no need to be polite.

"However, my husband and I have been looking forward to your arrival. Please go to the cave and take a rest."

Wen Siyue smiled slightly, then turned sideways and said respectfully.

"Well, that's fine. I also hope to test this girl's understanding of the formation book I taught her as soon as possible. If she really satisfies me, I will consider taking her as my apprentice."

Yan Yun nodded slightly and spoke calmly, glancing at the girl again.

Hearing Yan Yun's words, Tian Qin'er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid his sight. Wen Siyue and the middle-aged man surnamed Tian were overjoyed and immediately led Yan Yun into the cave.

Yan Yun spent a whole day in the cave. During this period, Wen Siyue and his wife's four foundation-building disciples also came to visit him.

The older man brought a boy who was about twelve or thirteen years old with him. They also entered the cave but did not leave immediately.

The next morning, a cyan light shot up from the hill, and the silhouettes of a man and a woman could be vaguely seen in the light. After the light flickered a few times, it disappeared without a trace.

One month later, in the heart of the continent hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the chaotic star sea.

Inside the territory of Nanyue, deep in a barren plain, in the low-lying area of ​​a huge canyon, several practitioners in black cloaks were flying with magic weapons.

Although their movements seemed natural and effortless, their speed was extremely slow, and it was obvious that their cultivation was still at a relatively low level.

After several cultivators in black robes sped through the air for a while, they suddenly changed direction and moved closer to the surrounding canyon walls. Finally, they quietly stepped into an extremely hidden cave.

When they went about ten feet deep into the cave, a stone door flashing with forbidden light suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

A ferocious-looking man in a black robe was obviously the leader of the group. He walked quickly towards the stone gate and made hand gestures.

Muttering something, after a long wait, he suddenly waved his arm and a spell shot out, instantly disappearing into the crack in the door, triggering a few faint spiritual light fluctuations.

After the stone gate swayed gently a few times, it began to rise slowly.

"May I ask which colleague from the sect is here?"

Before everyone entered the cave, a lazy voice came from the depths of the cave, followed by a cloud of black mist gushing out of the cave.

He quickly came in front of the big man, and then the black air dissipated, revealing the figure of an old man with a pale face.

"So it's Junior Brother Meng who has arrived. Are you the disciple on duty this time?"

The old man originally had a gloomy look on his face, but the moment he saw the big man, his expression changed slightly, and then he put on a warm smile.

This is also understandable. After all, the big man has the strength of the middle stage of foundation building, while the old man is only a practitioner in the early stage of foundation building. Naturally, he dare not look down on him.

"It is me, Senior Brother Fan! I have been ordered to take over the management of the spiritual mine here. Is the cave the entrance to the mine?"

The big man asked directly without any hesitation.

"Haha, Junior Brother Meng is indeed impatient. The entrance to the spiritual mine is indeed located inside. However, Junior Brother, did you only bring these few colleagues? It seems that the number is slightly insufficient."

The old man looked at the few people behind the big man, a puzzled look on his face.

"The situation of our Ghost Spirit Sect is now very different from the past. Most of the disciples have been sent out to resist the threats from the Imperial Spirit Sect and the Demon Flame Sect. I have tried my best to win these people over from the Deacon Hall."

"Fortunately, this is the core area of ​​our sect. We only need to manage some ordinary people. They should be able to handle this responsibility."

The big man snorted coldly, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with this.

"Junior brother, what you said is very true, but I am afraid that you will need to work harder in the future."

When the old man heard the big man's words, he could only nod his head in agreement helplessly.

"Then, Senior Brother, can you take me to visit the mineral vein first, so that I can better understand the specific conditions of this place?"

The big man looked deep into the cave and said so.

"Of course, please follow me, Junior Brother."

The old man nodded, and immediately cast a spell to close the stone door again, and then led the big man and others into the depths of the cave.

After walking forward for a distance in the cave, a huge crack several feet wide appeared on the ground in front. A faint white light flickered in the crack, as if it led directly to deep underground.

On both sides of the entrance to the crack, there sat a black-robed monk in the Qi Refining Stage. When they saw the old man and the big man approaching, they were both startled and quickly stood up to greet them respectfully.

The old man waved his hand calmly, indicating that they didn't need to be restrained, and then he led the big man and others straight into the crack.

A quarter of an hour later, the old man led the big man on a tour of the underground mineral passages. These passages were so intricate and dazzling.

In addition, there were many hired young men working hard to mine spiritual stones. The old man guided the way and pointed everywhere, as if he knew every corner.

No wonder! Anyone who has stayed here for more than ten years would be able to familiarize themselves with all the passage layouts even with their eyes closed.

However, the big man kept a gloomy face throughout the journey and did not easily express his opinions.

After several people had been transferred several times, a passage leading to the underground suddenly appeared in front of them again. This passage was almost slanted below the ground and seemed to lead to a deeper area.

The old man in black robe frowned slightly when he saw this passage.

He shook his head and did not intend to continue forward with the others including the big man. Instead, he turned around and prepared to lead the few people behind him to return the original way.

"Brother Fan, where does this passage lead to? Why are you unwilling to lead us there to find out?"

The big man carefully observed the passage, then stopped and asked in confusion.

"Many years ago, this place was considered a forbidden area. The sect once sent special personnel to guard it, but now it has been abandoned and no longer used. Those responsible for guarding it have all evacuated."

The old man answered casually.

"Forbidden area? What kind of secrets are hidden in it? Why is it abandoned now?" After hearing the news, the big man became even more curious.

"In fact, there is nothing special inside. It is just an ancient teleportation array. However, this teleportation array has obviously been abandoned for a long time and can no longer function normally."

"As for why it was originally listed as a forbidden area and then lifted, I don't know much about it. But according to rumors, this matter seems to be related to Uncle Wang Chan?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth about what he knew.

"Uncle Wang, could it be that person..."

The big man's face suddenly changed and his words stopped abruptly, as if he was full of awe for something.

"Junior brother, as long as you understand it in your heart, it's fine. I believe that Uncle Wang's affairs are not something we can easily discuss or comment on."

The old man chuckled and said meaningfully.

"In that case, could you please lead me there to have a look? Excuse me, but I have been devoted to the study of formations in recent years, and I am very curious about this ancient teleportation formation."

After thinking for a moment, the big man suddenly made a request.

"Junior brother is actually studying the art of formation? It will indeed take quite a long time to get to that place."

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and an indescribable expression appeared on his face. (End of this chapter)
