Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

"This place is so remote and yet so close to the alien territories. How could we humans be here? Is there something wrong?"

The young woman rolled her eyes slightly, and doubts arose in her heart.

When Longdong heard this, his brows slightly frowned, his expression changed, and he didn't speak for a while.

"Let me use my avatar to sneak over and take a look first."

The White-browed Green Ox looked in the direction of the oasis and suddenly made a suggestion.

After saying that, the young man raised his hand and gently touched the back of his head, and a shadow flashed by.

A small eagle about a foot in size appeared out of nowhere. It was shiny black all over. After circling in the air for a circle, it flew straight towards a small town in the distance.

The white-browed young man slowly closed his eyes, completely connecting his spiritual thoughts with the little eagle, and was always alert to any unexpected situations that might arise.

The white-robed girl and Long Dong looked at each other and thought it necessary to get to the bottom of it, so they did not stop the white-browed young man from investigating.

Yan Yun looked up at the small town, his heart full of doubts.

The little eagle was extremely fast and it took only a moment to make the return trip.

When the little eagle disappeared into the back of the white-browed young man's head again, the young man opened his eyes and said affirmatively:

"Yes, there are indeed people from your race in the small town, and there are also many high-level cultivators. There are as many as seven or eight in the Spiritualization Stage, but there are no Void Refinement Stage cultivators outside."

Hearing this, everyone else looked surprised.

"Don't worry about which city it is. We can just act according to the original plan and there is no need to create any unnecessary trouble." Yan Yun said calmly.

Long Dong shook his head and said:

"It's not a good idea to do this! This matter is indeed strange. Maybe something big happened in the desert. It's better to ask clearly before moving forward, so as not to rush into danger."

When Yan Yun heard what Longdong said, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much.

The young woman and the white-browed young man looked at each other, seemed to think it made sense, and did not object anymore.

The girl in white robe blinked her beautiful eyes and suddenly said:

"It's quite strange that there are other monks here. We should hurry on our way and avoid unnecessary trouble."

"It is precisely because there is something unusual here that we need to find out why these monks appeared here. At worst, we can just stay out of the city and investigate."

"Even if something unexpected happens, there is no need to be afraid. Didn't Brother Li just say that there are no cultivators above the Refining Void realm in the city?"

"In a few days, we will enter the narrow passage, where the environment is extremely dangerous. If there are any unknown dangers nearby, we may never come back. It is better to be careful!"

Longdong's expression changed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to shake his head.

"Now that Brother Jinglong said that, it does seem possible."

"How about this, we will observe from a distance for a while, so as not to alert the monks in the city. Once we are sure there is no danger, we can show up later."

Xiaohong proposed a compromise.

"This plan is very sound and more reliable."

Upon hearing this, Longdong thought the young woman's plan was feasible and nodded in agreement.

Yan Yun and the girl in white robe looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything else.

Afterwards, the group changed direction, concealed their flight lights, and quietly headed towards the small town. With their cultivation, even if their flight speed was greatly reduced, they could reach the destination of hundreds of miles in just a moment.

A hint of green gradually appeared on the ground ahead, and when we got closer, we found that it was actually a vast oasis.

It is surrounded by low bushes and in the center is a lake several miles in radius.

There is a small town on the lakeside, surrounded by a towering white stone wall.

The city wall only has a huge gate facing the incoming people, and more than a dozen foundation-building monks in yellow robes are guarding the gate.

Outside the small town, near the lake, there were some uncultivated mortals busy planting something.

Yan Yun stopped his escape and quietly used his spiritual power to investigate the situation in the small town, while Long Dong and the others also used their own secret techniques to conduct investigations.

In a mysterious area, Xiao Hong used a secret technique to conduct some exploration, and then cautiously stated that the identity of the humans here was correct, and there was nothing abnormal between them, whether they were mortals or cultivators.

There are many cultivators in the city, and there are as many as seven or eight at the God Transformation level. As for the cultivators at the Void Refinement level, although they exist, their aura is hidden and cannot be detected yet.

After gazing at the small town for a moment, Longdong turned around and asked the other fellow Taoists if they had made any other discoveries.

After observation, the white-browed young man pointed out that there were no restrictions or fluctuations around the city, and there seemed to be no magic array nearby. In addition, the temperature here was cooler than other places, which seemed a bit abnormal.

The young woman believed that although these situations were indeed unusual, they alone could not prove anything. After all, it was incredible that an oasis could appear here.

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from above their heads, suggesting that several fellow Taoists go into the city for a chat.

Yan Yun and the others were shocked when they heard this, and they dispersed without thinking, appearing dozens of feet away in an instant, and looked up at the sky cautiously.

Suddenly, an elderly Taoist priest in a purple robe appeared in the sky.

He had a kind face and looked at everyone with a warm gaze.

However, this Taoist priest turned out to be a cultivator in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm. Fortunately, he was a human cultivator, otherwise they would have probably escaped long ago.

When Longdong looked at the Taoist priest, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, although he appeared surprised on the surface.

Xiao Hong took a deep breath and asked respectfully, "Senior, may I ask who you are and why are you here?"

The Taoist smiled slightly and said:
"I am an old friend of the Black Phoenix Clan, my name is Master Ziyun. This city was built by my clansmen. If you have any questions, it is not appropriate to discuss them here. You may as well follow me into the city to discuss it."

"Master Ziyun?"

The young woman's heart trembled. She and Longdong looked at each other. Both of them felt that the name was unfamiliar and they had never heard of it before.

Faced with the invitation, they looked hesitant.

Fellow Taoists, there is no need to worry.

I have always loved to practice seclusion and rarely get involved in worldly affairs, so I am not well-known outside.

Judging from your expressions, you seem to be interested in going to Yixiantian?
If so, please allow me to explain in detail.

In recent days, the situation in Yixiantian has been turbulent and full of dangers. It would not be wise for you to go there rashly.

Having said that, I hope you will consider it carefully.

There was some concern and kindness in Master Ziyun's words. When Longdong and others heard this, although they were still on guard, they felt a little relieved.

However, when they heard that there was a change in the thin line of sky, everyone's face changed, and they were obviously worried about the future.

"Since you have been so kind to invite me, I shall obey your orders."

Although Long Dong was reluctant in his heart, facing such courtesy from a senior in the Void Refinement Stage with profound cultivation, it was difficult for him to refuse, so he could only agree reluctantly.

Seeing that Longdong had agreed, Yanyun and others had no objection. They bowed to Master Ziyun to express their gratitude and expressed their willingness to go along.

Upon seeing this, Master Ziyun's smile became even more pronounced. He gently lowered his escape light and led everyone straight towards the city gate.

Seeing this, everyone used the Light Body Technique to follow the old Taoist priest. Although the distance seemed far, with everyone's seemingly slow but actually fast speed, they soon arrived near the oasis, and even the children playing by the lake could be seen clearly.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, my clan just moved here not long ago, so I had to bring all the mortals with me."

“Although there are no other treasures here, there are several rare spiritual fruits in the outside world. You must try them.”

The old Taoist explained to everyone.

After hearing these words, Longdong and the young woman's doubts were slightly resolved.

At this moment, several people had arrived in front of the city gate. Several foundation-building monks bowed deeply to them, and then stood on both sides to make way.

The old Taoist flicked his robe and took the lead to walk forward.

Long Dong and others glanced at the monks guarding the gate and saw that apart from being respectful, there was nothing wrong with them. After a little hesitation, they followed them.

Yan Yun walked calmly between the two foundation-building cultivators.

Everything seemed so normal.

Suddenly, a clear cry was heard from the silent sky.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of silver flame shot out and instantly hit the monk next to him. The flame quickly spread, completely engulfing the man in flames.

The young woman and others were stunned when they saw this, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

"What do you mean, sir? I am kind enough to entertain you, but you dare to attack me, a junior of mine?"

The old Taoist who was walking in the front suddenly changed his expression and asked loudly, then his figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Yan Yun.

He raised one hand, and a large hand glowing red suddenly grabbed down at such a speed that it was difficult for people to react.

Yan Yun originally had the same puzzled look on his face, but the moment the silver flame enveloped the cultivator, he suddenly understood everything.

However, at this moment, the big red hand had already covered his body, and an invisible huge force tightly bound him, as if a force of ten thousand pounds was pressing down on him.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, in this situation, let alone escaping, he would probably even have difficulty breathing.

However, Yan Yun practiced both magic and body, and with the transformation of secret spiritual fruits such as Dragon Scale Fruit, Sky Corpse Pearl, and Bone Tempering Art, even without using the Brahma True Demonic Art, his physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

In this critical situation, the force that was considered a huge impact on an ordinary cultivator was only enough to cause his shoulders to shake slightly and his body to twist slightly, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

In a flash, the person mysteriously appeared more than 20 feet away. This was the miraculous body movement of the Nine Changes of the Gale.

With his current physical condition and cultivation level, it would be easy for him to perform such movements even without activating the Wind and Thunder Wings.

"Move quickly, they are all puppets possessed by the Shadow Clan."

As soon as Yan Yunfang got free, he let out a loud shout, and then his figure flashed and turned into a green rainbow that broke through the air.

At the same time, the monk wrapped in silver flames let out a howl of extreme pain, and a gray shadow suddenly shot out from his body.

However, as soon as the gray shadow touched the silver flame, it instantly burst into flames and was swallowed up completely.

From the silver flames spurting out of Yan Yun to the old man's sudden attack, which was then broken by Yan Yun and he successfully escaped, all this happened in the blink of an eye.

The young woman and Longdong and others were confused at first. Before they could figure out the situation, they heard Yan Yun's warning.

Then, they saw the shadow puppet emerging from the silver flames, and instantly understood what was going on. Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale.

"go!"

Without the need for instructions from others, the four people were surrounded by flashing spiritual light and instantly turned into four shocking rainbows, shooting straight into the sky.

The old Taoist priest was slightly stunned when he saw that Yan Yun had escaped his capture.

He then noticed that the other four people were also trying to escape. He snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and swung them at one of the escaping lights.

Countless red threads flew out from his cuffs, quickly entangled the escaping light, trapped it tightly and pulled it back to the ground.

As the spiritual light dissipated, the angry expression of the bound person was revealed within the countless red silk threads.

A young man from the white-browed demon tribe was in trouble, with dark light flashing all over his body, trying to resist the entanglement of the red silk.

The origin of these red threads is unknown, and no matter how he struggles, he cannot get rid of them.

Seeing this, the old Taoist showed a ferocious look on his face and slowly approached the young man.

At this moment, several sharp roars suddenly came from the city, and then several rays of light of different colors broke through the air and headed straight for this place.

When the white-browed young man saw this scene, he realized that the Shadow Clan reinforcements had arrived. A trace of fear flashed across his face and he let out a loud roar.

Black light quickly flowed on his body, his figure instantly rose taller, a pair of black iron wings spread out behind him, and his hands turned into shiny black iron claws.

Facing the crisis, he resolutely transformed into a half-demon form, ready to fight to the death. For the demon race, a strong physique is their fundamental reliance.

As one of the seven major demon clans, the Xuanying clan is naturally extraordinary.

He just shook his sharp claws, and a black light more than a foot long spurted out from the tip of the claws. He swept left and right, and wherever the deep black light reached, the red threads around his body broke one after another.

This black light is so sharp.

When the white-browed young man saw this scene, he could not hide his joy.

He firmly believed that as long as he cut all the red threads around his body, he would be able to use the Xuanying clan's unique escape technique to escape from here.

However, just as he was about to continue swinging his claws, the scene before him made his face change drastically, and all the blood disappeared.

The severed red threads reconnected into one in a flash and returned to their original state.

At this moment, the old Taoist showed a sarcastic look on his face, and his figure blurred, and he strangely appeared in front of the white-browed young man.

He reached behind his head with one hand, and a bright red shadow slowly emerged.

"Chiying, you are indeed from the Shadow Clan!"

When he saw the red shadow appear, the white-browed young man was completely in despair.

In the Shadow Clan, Chi Ying's status is equivalent to that of a Void Refinement level existence in the human race. How could a mere demon cultivator like him, who has reached the God Transformation stage, be able to resist him?
"It's good that you know. Your body is quite good, so I will accept it. Don't worry, your companions will not be able to escape, and they will accompany you to the underworld soon."

A red light flashed in the old Taoist's eyes, and a sharp and unfamiliar sound was heard, and then a red shadow above his head suddenly pounced towards the white-browed young man.

At the same time, the red silk that was originally wrapped around the white-browed young man instantly penetrated the black light that protected his body and wrapped him tightly.

Although the young man was extremely strong, he was unable to move at this moment. He could only watch the red shadow flying towards him.

"Don't even think about it!"

The white-browed young man knew that this disaster was unavoidable, and a crazy idea surged in his heart.

He suddenly bit off half of his tongue, and when he opened his mouth again, a stream of black blood and a thumb-sized black bead spurted out.

This black bead is the magic pill that he has been cultivating for many years.

As the bead left his body, his eyes dimmed, his skin shrank, and he instantly turned into an old man with white hair. (End of this chapter)
