After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1049 Visiting Bei Zheng, the Fifth Guardian Beast?

It is true that there are people in this world who look very similar to each other even though they are not related by blood, but the probability is extremely low.

Chen Yang didn't think he could be so lucky to run into someone like that.

He would never believe that Shi Xiang Sheng and Ding Huan Chun weren't related by blood.

Chen Yang said, "That's just your side of the story. You can say whatever you want, whether I believe you or not is my business..."

……

"The Pingtian Sect has the clan records of my branch. If you don't believe me, you can go to Jishi Mountain to verify it yourself..."

……

"Ha, you mean, just to verify whether what you're saying is true or false, I have to go deep into the lion's den and make a trip to your Pingtian Sect's headquarters? Am I tired of living?"

Chen Yang chuckled. "Do I look that stupid?"

……

"Let me go, and I can prove it to you!"

……

Chen Yang shook his head, "Save your breath, cherish the days you have left..."

……

"The Mirror of Light contains my life savings accumulated over a century: pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, magical treasures, and three celestial-grade spiritual herbs. If you want them, they are all yours. I can even give you the Mirror of Light..."

……

Seeing the red characters appear on the mirror, Chen Yang knew that Shi Xiang Sheng was probably really in a hurry.

He laughed, "What are you talking about? Once I kill you, everything in this round mirror will be mine, won't it?"

"Do not."

New words quickly appeared on the mirror: "I can destroy them..."

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Fine, the item is still yours. You can destroy it if you want, I won't stop you. Anyway, you can decide the consequences yourself..."

……

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.

Juechen is here.

Chen Yang casually put the round mirror away and ignored it.

This Shi Xiangsheng actually wants to use the things in the round mirror to blackmail me. Doesn't he even know what kind of situation he is in now? Does he have the right to negotiate with me?

"Ancestor!"

Chen Yang turned around.

Juechen walked through the woods, leaning on his staff, towards the stream.

"Has the patriarch rested well?" Chen Yang asked as he approached.

Juechen nodded slightly. "I've been thinking about it. The exit will open the day after tomorrow. If Canggou is still alive, he might have already gone to Zhong'e Mountain. We'd better get there sooner rather than later. After all, quite a few of you came in this time. If you all get stuck at the cave entrance, you'll inevitably be at Canggou's mercy..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang had the same idea. "It's not far from Bei'e Mountain. I'd like to visit Senior Bei Zheng at Bei'e Mountain first, and then go to Zhong'e Mountain..."

"Alright."

Juechen nodded and said, "I'll go ahead to Zhong'e Mountain to wait for you. You'll come shortly after. Don't be late. The cave entrance will only be open for one day. If you miss it, the consequences will be unbearable..."

"Yes!"

Chen Yang responded.

He originally intended for Juechen to travel with him, but Juechen clearly didn't want to waste time, fearing that something unexpected might happen on Zhong'e Mountain.

If Cang Gou is still alive and has gone to Zhong'e Mountain first, the cultivators waiting to leave the secret realm on the mountain will inevitably be taken advantage of, and their lives will be used to take them away. At that time, the situation will inevitably become passive.

With this concern in mind, Juechen gave Chen Yang some instructions and then headed directly to Zhong'e Mountain.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, headed towards Bei'e Mountain.

……

-

Bei'e Mountain.

The seal still existed, and it was impossible to fly on the mountain. When Chen Yang arrived at Bei Zheng's cave, it was already evening.

Inside the cave, Bei Zheng was still lying in that small temple.

This guardian beast is in good spirits. It doesn't care about the changing winds and clouds outside, and just sleeps and recuperates in its own temple.

"Senior Bei Zheng."

Inside the small temple, Chen Yang, as usual, lit an incense stick in front of the altar.

The snoring behind the altar suddenly stopped.

"How did you come?"

A dark figure emerged from behind the altar; it was Bei Zheng.

Although he concealed his aura, he still exuded a great sense of intimidation.

Given Bei Zheng's cultivation level, it probably sensed Chen Yang's entry into Bei E Mountain as soon as he entered. Yet it pretended to be surprised, which shows its acting skills are truly lacking.

Chen Yang said, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye to you, senior."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Zheng was slightly taken aback. "So fast?"

For it, it may have just taken a nap, and when it woke up, this exploration of the Nine Old Men Cave would be over.

Chen Yang nodded, "A lot has happened recently. Before I leave, I still need to report to my senior..."

Bei Zheng tilted his head and looked at him, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

It had only met Chen Yang once. When it first came in, it gave Chen Yang some benefits, but that was all. There was no close relationship between them. Why would Chen Yang need to report anything to it?
However, it did not interrupt Chen Yang, as it was also curious about this young man.

When I saw Chen Yang about ten days ago, he was still in the Creation Realm, but now, in just over ten days, he has clearly entered the Dao True Realm.

Bei Zheng was also curious about Chen Yang's experiences in the secret realm during this period.

Chen Yang then started talking, telling Bei Zheng about his experiences over the past few days, picking and choosing what to recount.

Bei Zheng stared at him as if he were listening to a foreign language.

Chen Yang's story was thrilling and eloquent, but to Bei Zheng, it sounded like he had seen a ghost, like he was listening to a fairy tale.

Bei Zheng was especially shocked when he heard Chen Yang say that he had dealt with the evil white fox of Xi'e Mountain and the evil white tiger of Nan'e Mountain.

"Senior, you couldn't possibly have been completely oblivious, could you?"

Judging from Bei Zheng's reaction, it didn't seem like it was faking it. Could it really be that it had no sense of anything at all?

Bei Zheng gave an embarrassed smile and asked Chen Yang to explain the cause and effect and details to it.

The white tiger and the white fox are both level-one guardian beasts. It's a joke that Chen Yang managed to defeat a deity of the same level.

But Chen Yang clearly wouldn't come all the way here just to tell it jokes.

It's unrealistic to say that it has no awareness of the outside world at all. After all, there has been quite a commotion outside these past few days. Sometimes, by looking at the celestial phenomena, one can roughly guess what has happened.

However, Bei Zheng didn't take it seriously. It wasn't the kind of animal that liked to join in the fun. It just stayed in its own little corner of the world. No matter what happened outside, it didn't care. Nothing was more important than sleeping.

Therefore, it naturally had no way of knowing the things Chen Yang was talking about.

……

Chen Yang recounted the events in detail.

After hearing this, Bei Zheng sighed deeply.

So many things have happened in just over ten days.

The number of people who died at Chen Yang's hands was far more than just those two guardian beasts. Strictly speaking, it seems that this little guy cleaned up the entire cave-heaven secret realm.

Danyangzi, Shi Xiangsheng, Tian Bonong—these were names that once gave it a headache, and even Xiao Ling from Xi'e Mountain, Cang Gou…

This kid took care of them all.

He gives off the feeling of being a troublemaker, he's a real genius.

"senior……"

After Chen Yang finished speaking, Bei Zheng stared at him blankly, his expression somewhat petrified.

After being called several times, Bei Zheng finally came to his senses.

"Cang Gou, he..."

Bei Zheng opened his mouth, utterly shocked, but couldn't get a clear answer for a long time.

Chen Yang said, "I don't know if he's dead or alive, but I estimate he should still be alive. If he's alive, he'll definitely try every means to leave the Nine Elders Cave. The exit will open the day after tomorrow, and as long as he's alive, he'll definitely show himself..."

Bei Zheng paused, as if realizing something, "So, you came to me wanting me to help you deal with Cang Gou?"

Chen Yang nodded without hesitation, "A single Cang Gou is manageable, but Cang Gou also possesses a Black Lotus. That Black Lotus has an extraordinary origin and is by no means ordinary. If yesterday's explosion killed them, that would be one thing, but if they survived, it will definitely cause endless trouble. The day after tomorrow at Zhong'e Mountain, he will definitely fight to the death. My Grandmaster Juechen and I are not very confident that we can defeat him..."

"Ugh."

Upon hearing this, Bei Zheng sighed, "Even if you come to me about this, there's nothing I can do. I'm bound by the rules of Bei E Mountain and can't leave. I can't help you at all..." As a guardian beast, it is subject to the laws and, like the Bashe, cannot leave its territory. Only after the exit of the Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm is completely sealed will they have several months to go down the mountain and clear out those beings that are lingering in the cave.

It's not that it doesn't want to help, it's just that it's unable to.

Chen Yang asked, "Senior, is there no other way to leave the fiefdom ahead of time?"

"Yes, I have."

Bei Zheng said, "By forcibly breaking through the seal of Bei'e Mountain, I can come and go freely, and descend the mountain at any time, just like the White Tiger and the White Fox..."

"This……"

Chen Yang paused.

Bei Zheng said, "This barrier was set up by a Celestial Realm expert. Breaking it by force is no easy task. Back then, the barriers of Nan'e Mountain and Xi'e Mountain were broken only after Cang Gou and his group gathered a lot of strength and worked together with those two from the inside. With our abilities, even if we called Jue Chen, I'm afraid it would be difficult to shake it..."

"Moreover, even if the seal is broken, as the guardian beast, I will suffer a backlash from the laws, inevitably sustaining serious injuries. By then, I won't even have time to heal, let alone help you..."

……

After hearing what Bei Zheng said, Chen Yang naturally gave up the idea of ​​helping it break the seal.

Moreover, it's clear that Bei Zheng is content with the status quo and has never considered breaking the seal.

As the guardian beast of Bei'e Mountain, it can freely draw energy from the sealed land, naturally increasing its cultivation level and greatly extending its lifespan. It never even considered breaking free from the seal and leaving.

Life is good as it is now. Staying in the fiefdom, who knows when the Heavenly Path will continue and I can try to break through to the Celestial Realm. Why go out and have fun? The space in this secret realm is only so big, what's the point of having fun?
Chen Yang said, "Since that's the case, senior, I wonder if you have any high-level spirit beast cores, or divine spirit beads condensed from divine spirit energy? I'd like to shamelessly ask you for some..."

"Oh? What are you going to do with this?" Bei Zheng looked at him in surprise.

"Actually, this is the case..."

Chen Yang briefly explained the cause and effect.

After listening, Bei Zheng stared intently at his face for a long while before saying, "You're going to go out this time, right?"

"of course."

Chen Yang nodded seriously, "I still have parents and family outside, so I'm not without ties. I never intended to stay in this secret realm, so please rest assured, senior..."

Bei Zheng was genuinely a little worried, fearing that Chen Yang might not learn his lesson and end up staying behind.

When the time comes, bound by the laws, it will have no choice but to take action against these lingering cultivators.

If Chen Yang stays behind, a fight is inevitable, and the methods I gave him might end up being used against me instead.

Therefore, Bei Zheng repeatedly confirmed whether Chen Yang would leave.

This kid has taken down both the white tiger and the white fox; if things really came down to a fight, he might just be capable of killing me too.

Chen Yang repeatedly assured him before Bei Zheng finally believed him.

It gently touched the collar around its neck with its paw, and immediately, three beads flew out.

Inner alchemy.

It is the inner core of a spirit beast.

Moreover, judging from their aura, without exception, they were all spirit beast inner cores at the late stage of the Dao True Realm.

Three inner cores floated to Chen Yang's front.

"Is that enough?" Bei Zheng asked.

Chen Yang paused slightly, then grabbed the three inner cores in his hand. "Three late-stage Dao True Realm inner cores should be barely enough."

"reluctantly?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Zheng almost burst out laughing. "Even if you want more, I don't have any more. Over the years, I've killed quite a few Dao True Realm cultivators, but inner cores don't hold much value for me. These three are only kept because I thought they were of good quality..."

Chen Yang was embarrassed and could only think to himself, "Wow, they don't even take this kind of thing seriously."

"As for the Divine Fiend Pearl, I'm not like that stupid snake from Dong'e Mountain who messes around with that kind of thing for no reason, it's a complete waste of my cultivation."

Along with that, Bei Zheng also scolded Ba She.

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated, knowing that there probably wouldn't be much of a chance to get anything from Bei Zheng, so he immediately accepted the three inner cores. "Senior, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you."

"explain."

Bei Zheng looked at him.

Chen Yang said, "If Cang Gou shows up the day after tomorrow, there will inevitably be a battle at Zhong'e Mountain. Master Juechen and I will definitely do our best to take him down. But you also know Cang Gou's strength, so I can't say what the outcome will be. But in any case, we will definitely not let him leave..."

"Therefore, once the exit is closed and the seal on Bei'e Mountain is lifted, and you are able to leave the mountain, please join Senior Bashe in slaying Canggou as soon as possible..."

……

"That's it?"

Bei Zheng thought he was going to say something, but he didn't expect him to say this.

"That's it."

Chen Yang nodded.

Bei Zheng said, "You don't need to tell me that. Killing those who linger is my and that stupid snake's duty..."

After a pause, Bei Zheng said, "From what you're saying, Monk Juechen is also preparing to go out?"

Chen Yang said, "It seems that the Ancestral Master has gotten used to staying in this secret realm, and since his lifespan is coming to an end, he has no intention of leaving. However, I will try my best to persuade him, and we'll see how things go then..."

"Ah."

Bei Zheng responded, "It's best to persuade him to leave. Otherwise, we might have to fight him again. This cave is no longer of any use to someone like him. It would be better for him to go out and enjoy his old age..."

"Okay, I will pass on your words, senior."

A master like Juechen is very important to Emei, and if possible, Chen Yang would certainly like to take him out with him.

However, Chen Yang didn't know what Juechen was thinking, and he had to respect Juechen's wishes.

Bei Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's something I'm not sure if it's reliable, but I might as well tell you."

"Senior, please speak."

Judging from its expression, Chen Yang was also a little curious.

Bei Zheng said, "I've heard that there's also a Divine Fiend Suppressing Beast on Zhong'e Mountain, but I don't know if it's true or not..."

"what?"

Chen Yang was quite surprised to hear this.

Does Zhong'e Mountain also have guardian beasts?
Aren't they the Four Guardian Beasts? Where did this fifth one come from?
"We were all appointed by Chen Tianyang and Zhao Quanzhen as guardian beasts in the Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm, and we've only been here for a few hundred years, so our seniority isn't particularly high..."

“Since we arrived here, there have indeed only been our four guardian beasts in this secret realm. But I vaguely heard Zhao Quanzhen say that there is actually another guardian beast in Zhong'e Mountain…”

"However, over the years, we have never seen it appear, but we can occasionally vaguely sense its presence..."

"I dare not comment on his strength, but if he were alive, his seniority would certainly be longer than ours, and he might have lived for many years..."

"Since you're going to Zhong'e Mountain, why not try looking for it? If you can find this being, explain its power, and with the Mountain Lord Seal you possess, it's not impossible to ask it to help suppress the demon..."

……

Bei Zheng began to explain in detail.

The words contained a great deal of uncertainty.

It had only sensed its presence but had never seen it appear. Everything it had heard about was just hearsay. It didn't even care to be sure whether such a guardian beast truly existed.

But as it says, since we're going to Zhong'e Mountain anyway, we might as well look for it. If we find it, it might be a great help.

Chen Yang no longer has any Dao Zhen Pills, and the Water Monkey is no longer of any use. Without the Water Monkey, their fighting strength has been greatly reduced. If they could get a Guardian Beast to help them, they could make up for this loss of fighting strength.

There are guardian beasts on all four mountains—east, west, south, and north—so it's not surprising that Mount Zhonge also has one, right?

Who knows, the guardian beast of Mount Emei might be even stronger?
Chen Yang thought to himself, but Bei Zheng had very little information about the Zhong'e Mountain Suppressing Beast. Whether it was true or not, Chen Yang had to verify it himself.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Chen Yang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Bei Zheng. The information Bei Zheng had given him was extremely important.

Bei Zheng said, "Regardless of what might happen the day after tomorrow, or how intense the battle may be, remember to leave before the exit closes. Don't wait until the last minute..."

"Yes."

Chen Yang responded and left the small temple, expressing his gratitude profusely.

Bei Zheng followed him out of the temple and watched him leave.

When they woke up, the situation in the secret realm had changed drastically. So many powerful beings had died, including some that had given them a headache in the past.

It seems I missed a lot of wonderful things while I was sleeping.

Under the night sky, Bei Zheng stood on the mountaintop, looking towards Zhong'e Mountain in the distance.

This time, I doubt any characters will choose to stay, right?

……

-

After descending from Bei'e Mountain, Chen Yang did not linger and headed directly towards Zhong'e Mountain.

Zhong'e Mountain is located in the very center of the mountain area. It is not as large or as long as the Sifang Mountain Range, but it still occupies an area of ​​twenty or thirty miles. It has dozens of large and small peaks, with the main peak being over two thousand meters high.

It is much higher than the mountains in the east, west, south, and north.
