The cannon fodder female partner becomes a god by practicing involution

Chapter 321 Hibernation
In the Shuihe tribe, the cultivators who learned about the death of Yan Shanhai just shouted in joy.

The two tribes had enmity a hundred years ago, and now that the other side has died a monk in the realm of distraction, they are naturally happy.

In the clan meeting place, Shui He Zinming looked at the person sitting at the top and asked: "Clan leader, is the person who came to my tribe to investigate secretly before, is Yan Shanhai?"

Shui Hefan nodded and said, "Yes, that's him."

"Then according to the patriarch, would it be the female cultivator wearing the witch clan bell who killed him?"

"Judging from the current situation, this is certain, because I have long discovered that she is from Dongling Continent. The attack that destroyed the statue cannot be a method that a monk from Xiyuan Continent should have."

"But if I'm not wrong, the female cultivator's state is only equivalent to the spiritual silence stage."

"How do you know that what you are sensing is the real realm? Dongling Continent has outstanding people, and there are countless ways to conceal their cultivation. The fact that she can kill Yan Shanhai is enough to prove her strength."

On the side, Shui Heyan interjected and asked: "The Yanshan clan obviously has ulterior motives for spreading this news. Is our clan going to do something?"

Shui Hefan waved his hand, "No need for now, I'll just keep a low profile and wait and see how things develop."

After Shen Qingluo approached the Yanshan clan's sphere of influence, he temporarily took off the bell on his left wrist and put it into the storage ring.

This will temporarily block the constant sound coming from the bell.

Then she took out the map and compared it carefully.

This clan already existed in the map left by Patriarch Taixuan. However, tens of thousands of years ago, the Yanshan clan's sphere of influence was extremely small, covering a radius of almost twenty miles and governing more than thirty villages.

Not only that, the terrain at that time was also very different from today.

According to the map logo, tens of thousands of years ago, this place was a plain with several large lakes.

Today, there are mountains and rivers with strange and diverse shapes. Some overlap and intersect; others are parallel to each other and continuous.

All the lakes have disappeared, and only one or two streams can be seen occasionally in the mountains.

Among the subsequent maps collected, there were a total of five related to the Yan Shan clan, and the latest one came from 130 years ago.

The landforms identified on this map are not much different from today.

More than a hundred years ago, the Yanshan clan's influence covered a radius of more than 800 miles, with thousands of villages and towns under its jurisdiction.

Looking at it now, it seems to have expanded a bit compared to back then.

From the perspective of sphere of influence, the Yanshan clan is getting stronger year by year.

Because it is located in a mountainous area, the buildings are not densely packed and are relatively scattered.

This type of building has a unified style. Clear and eye-catching signs are hung on both corners of the eaves, with the word "Yan Shan" engraved on them, about three feet long and wide.

It was precisely by relying on these talismans that Shen Qingluo easily confirmed the clan's current sphere of influence.

With her invisibility cloak covering her figure, no one noticed her arrival.

However, after dealing with the Shuihe statue, she did not use her spiritual consciousness to check the surroundings again to avoid the same situation that would lead to her being exposed in advance.

However, as a result, the progress of information exploration is slow. After all, the places that can be observed by the naked eye are really limited, and the position needs to be constantly changed.

Two months later, Shen Qingluo stopped beside a steep cliff.

At this moment, the sun was rising and the clouds and mist were dispersing. On a relatively flat mountain in front of them, many members of the Yanshan clan were shouting loudly and competing in pairs.

She watched for a while. These people competed in martial arts. Some chose to fight in close combat, while others used idols to fight against each other.

The moves were similar, and it didn't take long for her to look away. It has been more than two months since Shen Qingluo came to the Yanshan clan's sphere of influence. Shen Qingluo has learned a lot of things and also heard news about himself from these people.

During this time, there was a lot of rumors about the sword cultivator in Dongling Continent, but no one actually found her.

One of the very important reasons is the invisibility cloak.

Yan Shanhai was killed by the Killing Sword Intent. The two ancestors of the Yan Shan family did not see Shen Qingluo's figure through the soul card, so naturally they did not know that she had something to hide her figure.

The Shuihe Tribe knew about this, but there was a feud between this tribe and the Yanshan clan, so it was impossible to tell them the relevant information.

As a result, the external situation became more and more tense day by day, and various tribes spent a lot of manpower to investigate, but in fact they were all in vain.

Including the Yan Shan clan, the number of monks on patrol continued to increase every day, but they never imagined that the person they had been guarding had already sneaked into their sphere of influence and stayed there until now.

The monks here, like ordinary people, have the habit of falling asleep at night.

However, the patrols take turns every twelve hours, and there is never a moment of rest.

In more than two months, Shen Qingluo had figured out the location of Yan Shan's altar.

This clan has a total of five altars, among which the altar located in the center of the clan's sphere of influence is the largest, followed by one in each of the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, which are relatively small in scale.

Since she came here, a total of sixteen sacrifices, large and small, have been performed.

There are four altars in the central altar and three altars in each of the other altars.

Shen Qingluo couldn't understand these sacrifices at first.

However, thousands of years ago, Jingshi Lihuo followed Patriarch Taixuan to the Xiyuan Continent. Under Huo Ling's explanation, she gradually understood the uses of different sacrifices.

Generally speaking, they are divided into three categories: praying for luck, cursing, and bestowing dharma.

The method used by the former patriarch Yan Shanqi to spy on her from a distance falls into the third category.

The first type of prayer is for the entire tribe, which is also the most common kind of sacrifice, praying for the longevity of the tribe.

In these two months, sixteen sacrifices were held, a total of thirteen related to praying for luck.

The remaining three games, one of which was a curse, were carried out against the Wu clan. The specific effect was unknown to Shen Qingluo.

Judging from the expressions of the cultivators of the Yanshan clan during the sacrifice, they probably did not achieve the expected results, otherwise they would not have drooped faces when the sacrifice was over.

Cursed sacrifices consume the most manpower and material resources, so they are only performed once every once in a while.

The remaining two games are magic gifts. Different from the previous spies, these two magic gifts are for the cultivation of the tribe and are closely related to the statues of gods.

If you are lucky, several statues will awaken new abilities for the monks to control.

In addition to offering sacrifices, in normal times, these Yanshan clan members basically stay in their respective mountain peaks, absorbing the power of faith collected by the statues and practicing.

So far, Shen Qingluo has not discovered the secrets of this clan.

There is a forbidden peak within the reach of the Yanshan clan. During the past two months, she has never seen anyone enter it.

Based on the news she hears every day, it can be seen that Forbidden Peak is the training place of the two ancestors of the clan. Unless there is a major change and there is something important to tell, non-clan leaders are not allowed to enter on weekdays.

There was a thick layer of gray fog surrounding the Forbidden Peak.

If you enter rashly, you will be discovered by the people inside.

Shen Qingluo intuitively felt that the secret behind the Yan Shan clan was at this peak. During the past two months, she had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to sneak in without anyone noticing.
