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

Chapter 962 Danyangzi's Strength, the Gaze of the Mountain!

Meanwhile, Chen Yang had finished his work and hid on a deserted mountain several miles away.

He had just stopped to catch his breath when he saw a sword light flying from afar, heading straight for the spot where he had just fought the Wolf King.

Flying with a sword?

As the figure disappeared into the woods, Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly.

Danyangzi was actually a powerful sword cultivator, capable of flying on a sword, so his sword intent cultivation must have reached the fourth realm.

It should be noted that Chen Yang's current cultivation level of the third realm of sword intent means that even if he uses the flying sword technique to control his sword, he can only briefly fly. To truly fly on a sword, he must reach the fourth realm of sword intent.

A late-stage Dao Realm cultivator and a fourth-level swordsman, Dan Yangzi's strength is absolutely unfathomable.

Just a second ago, Chen Yang was still thinking about whether he should turn back and find this Danyangzi to practice with.

Without that giant wolf, given his strength, he might not be able to defeat Danyangzi in a one-on-one fight, but he could resort to underhanded tactics, and perhaps he still has a chance.

But now, he has decisively abandoned the idea.

This person's strength is unfathomable. Putting aside whether he has other tricks up his sleeve, just the fact that he possesses the fourth realm of sword intent means that if his sneak attack fails and he is trapped by the opponent's sword domain, he will definitely be in serious trouble.

Therefore, if something is impossible, don't do it; safety comes first; don't do stupid things and you'll die.

Without hesitation, Chen Yang disappeared into the darkness and continued his escape.

This Danyangzi, although he was once the abbot of Chunyang Temple, according to Mo Yuan, had a pretty good reputation in the past.

But then was before and now is now.

Regardless of whether this person was Danyangzi or not, Chen Yang felt that this person had a sinister aura about him and didn't seem like a good person.

What good person would have anything to do with those people from the Peace Heaven Sect?

Chen Yang's intuition told him that this Dan Yangzi, who had stayed in the secret realm for a hundred years, must have some ulterior motive besides cultivation.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get anything out of this person.

However, there's plenty of time ahead.

……

In the mountains and forests.

Danyangzi landed on the sword light, looking at the ruins and mess all around him, his face turned as red as a pig's liver.

"Fellow!"

A low shout echoed through the mountains and forests.

At that time, the Wolf King did not give him the response he expected.

It was extremely quiet, eerily quiet.

Danyangzi looked around and saw obvious signs of a fierce battle, with the aura of a primordial spirit attack still lingering in the air.

The Wolf King was attacked, but its attacker defeated it in a very short time, destroyed the evidence, and escaped unscathed.

No, this is impossible!

Dan Yangzi's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He didn't see the Wolf King's corpse, so the Wolf King wasn't dead.

Danyangzi was very clear about the strength of this fellow wolf. How could a spirit beast in the late stage of the Dao True Realm be killed so easily?

However, he couldn't have misheard the Wolf King's desperate roar.

The Wolf King must have encountered a great crisis to let out such a roar.

"Fellow?"

Danyangzi shouted again, unwilling to give up, and searched around with his primordial spirit, but still could not find the figure of the Azure Wolf King.

Could it really be dead? Or did it get caught up in a fight and go somewhere else?

He was more inclined to believe the latter. After all, if the Wolf King was so easily defeated in such a short time, how strong must the person who made the move be?

Could it be the person behind those insects?
At the time of the incident, it seems unlikely that the person was still chatting with him through the bone-eating beetle.

But now it seems that the person's actions were clearly a deliberate attempt to distract him.

This suggests that someone else attacked the Wolf King.
What I encountered was a gang.

"No matter who you are, don't let me find you, or I will tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust."

Under the cover of night, Danyangzi clenched his teeth, his face contorted with a ferocious and sinister expression.

……

-

Chen Yang headed north.

Chen Yang felt helpless that such a thing happened on the very first day after entering the secret realm.

He was a little worried that Danyangzi might go crazy and seek revenge on others.

But he was helpless; he didn't have the ability to protect everyone.

Moreover, the secret realm is so vast that if someone were to run into this guy and become the target of his revenge, they could only be described as unlucky.

This secret realm is inherently a place where opportunities and dangers coexist. Since you've entered, you're naturally prepared to take the risks.

……

Silent all night.

He barely rested all night, having traveled over a hundred miles north, and should now be out of danger.

Just before dawn, I found a relatively safe spot at the foot of a cliff and took out a cot from the system's inventory to sleep for a while.

The night's journey had taken a heavy toll on his mental and physical health, and even with medication, he still needed some sleep to recover.

He took the few Heart-Questioning Pills that the system had rewarded him with, and his state of mind improved slightly.

An improved state of mind can naturally lead to a recovery of the spirit.

As dawn broke, the world brightened once more.

Chen Yang opened his eyes and was greeted by a riot of colors and the sounds of birdsong.

Below the cliff, swathes of jasmine flowers are in full bloom, their fragrance filling the air and lifting one's spirits.

Everything that happened last night felt more like a dream.

He looked up at the sky.

There is still no sun, but there is the presence of supreme yang energy.

There were no stars or moon at night, but the secret realm was still filled with the energy of the moon.

Although this secret realm is a separate world, it should have some kind of connection with the outside world.

Chen Yang stretched and went to a nearby ravine to wash up, then ate a few pieces of bread.

We need to think about what to do next.

The threat of the Hell Worm has been eliminated. Although a minor accident occurred, the crisis is temporarily over, and Danyangzi should not be able to find him so easily again.

After a moment's consideration, Chen Yang decided to prioritize his business and get his hands on the Udumbara flower and the palm-leaf scripture.

He then released Mo Yuan from the Azure Pearl, and the two of them, one human and one mouse, slowly continued northward.

"Danyangzi will definitely not let this go. Although this secret realm spans hundreds or thousands of miles and is large enough, we still have to stay here for more than ten days. The probability of us running into him is still quite high."

Mo Yuan is now truly convinced of Chen Yang's abilities.

In that situation, this guy actually managed to come up with a way to kill the wolf king. He was not only bold but also meticulous.

Mo Yuan could sense that the giant wolf's cultivation level was probably not much different from its peak. Although Chen Yang used a sneak attack, the victor is king and the loser is villain. In the end, the giant wolf died while Chen Yang escaped unscathed, which was enough to prove Chen Yang's ability.

This wasn't just luck; Chen Yang really is something else.

"Let's deal with it when we run into him. He's never seen me before. If we do run into him, we'll figure out how to handle it."

Chen Yang said something insignificant.

Mo Yuan said sullenly, "I interrogated that waterweed you caught yesterday. The cave dwelling of the Celestial Realm expert it mentioned should indeed exist. However, its information is limited; it only has a general location. Moreover, according to it, Danyangzi knew that the cave dwelling existed..."

"Danyangzi has been lingering in this secret realm for over a hundred years. Over a hundred years is enough time for him to figure out the situation in the secret realm. Even if the so-called Celestial Realm cave exists, he has probably already taken it over. There's not much point in us going to look for it again, and it's dangerous..."

"However, on the other hand, this Danyangzi must have a lot of good stuff on him. If we can find an opportunity to get rid of him..."

As they walked, Mo Yuan analyzed the situation with great interest.

Searching for treasure everywhere, where is it faster and more exciting than killing and robbing for treasure?

Danyangzi has stayed in this secret realm for over a hundred years. In such a long time, he has already advanced from the Creation Realm to the limit of the Dao True Realm.

Given the time and the ability, how many caves could he explore and how many opportunities could he find?

Chen Yang and his group can only stay for fifteen days, but Danyangzi has been here for over a hundred years.

This person's savings must be beyond imagination.

If we can take him down and seize his century-old wealth, it will be a huge windfall.

At first, Mo Yuan hinted indirectly, but later he simply spoke bluntly. His words were all urging Chen Yang to take down Danyangzi.

Chen Yang said, "Have you seen him make a move? Do you know how strong he is? Just the fact that he is a fourth-level sword cultivator means I have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. Moreover, as you said, this person is definitely very wealthy, and there is no guarantee that he will have some special methods. Knowing yourself but not your enemy, this battle will be difficult."

"Fourth-realm sword cultivators are really nothing special. Aren't I also at the fourth realm?" Mo Yuan said. "If possible, give me You Li's and the inner cores of that gray wolf from last night. My cultivation should recover quickly. Then, if we join forces, I don't believe we can't kill him..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang chuckled.

So that's what this guy was planning. He killed that wolf king last night, and this beast has his eye on its inner core.

His appetite was quite good.

Of course, what Mo Yuan said isn't entirely unacceptable.

If its cultivation level can be restored, fighting Danyangzi would indeed not be a problem.

Chen Yang could even let it take the place of him; the peak cultivation level of this rat was quite terrifying.

However, he didn't trust this mouse.

Although the mouse was cursed with a life-and-death seal and now appears obedient and loyal, only heaven knows what it truly thinks.

Wasn't this mouse loyal to Zhao Quanzhen back then? But what did it do to Chongtian Temple after Zhao Quanzhen died?
It's so good at disguising itself that it could fool Zhao Quanzhen, so it can certainly fool itself.

I can control it now, so it will naturally behave itself and be willing to be driven by me. If I help it restore its cultivation, will it still be the same as it is now?
It's true that the Life and Death Curse Seal can control it, but activating the seal takes time. If it takes advantage of your unpreparedness and attacks you hard, where will you go to cry?

Although the curse seal within the cursed person's body will also erupt when the caster dies, the cursed person can find a way to control themselves and have themselves help to break the curse.

Therefore, Chen Yang wouldn't be so foolish as to listen to its nonsense. If it joins forces with Danyangzi to attack him, he would be truly dumbfounded.

"I'll save these two inner cores for you. I'll give them to you sooner or later, but not now..."

Chen Yang directly offered Mo Yuan a rosy picture, saying, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I don't want to give it to you right now."

The implication is that if you want it, you'll have to work hard to prove your worth to me.

How can you expect to obtain an inner core without doing anything?

Mo Yuan was not disappointed upon hearing this.

It was just a casual remark; it didn't really expect Chen Yang to hand over his inner core.

He immediately put on a pitiful look, "I just hate that my cultivation is too weak right now, barely at the early stage of the Creation Realm. In last night's situation, I couldn't even help in the slightest. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been in such a sorry state, Master..."

Putting everything else aside, this beast's words, though false, are still quite pleasant to listen to.

Its cultivation level has now fallen to the early stage of the Creation Realm, which is indeed a bit lacking.

Chen Yang took a bottle of animal growth essence and tossed it to the creature. "This stuff is better than an inner core and more advanced than the spiritual liquid I gave you before. It should be enough to help you raise your cultivation to the mid-stage of the Creation Realm. If you work diligently for me in the future, you'll naturally reap the rewards..."

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass; only by giving it benefits can you get something in return.

"Thank you for the gift, Master."

Mo Yuan held the spiritual liquid, expressing his deepest gratitude.

Seek it above, and you will find it. Seek it, and you will find it below.

Although I failed to obtain the inner core, having this bottle of spiritual liquid is still quite good.

……

I absorbed the essence as I walked, and within an hour or so, my cultivation level indeed recovered to the mid-stage of the Creation Realm.

Mo Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

What kind of spiritual liquid is this? Its energy hardly needs to be refined; it can be absorbed directly. Its medicinal effects are even stronger than the spiritual liquid Chen Yang gave it before.

With its extensive experience, it couldn't think of any other spiritual liquid that could match this one.

They wanted to get answers from Chen Yang, but unfortunately, he remained tight-lipped.

His new master was indeed no ordinary person.

At this moment, Mo Yuan seemed to have rediscovered the feeling of working under Zhao Quanzhen back then.

Unfortunately, this person was born in the wrong era. If he had been born four hundred years ago, with such talent and intellect, he would have had an absolutely limitless future.

Unfortunately, being born in this era means that the path to heaven has been severed, and even the most extraordinary talent is destined to never reach that level.

……

Along the way, we traversed mountains and valleys.

With Mo Yuan's treasure-hunting abilities, the man and the rat searched as they went, and found quite a few precious medicinal herbs that had been around for a long time.

We didn't encounter anyone else along the way.

More than a hundred people were scattered in this vast mountain, each going in a different direction, so the probability of them running into each other was extremely low.

Not far from the Bailong River, on a hilltop.

After lunch and a short rest, Chen Yang took out the map and looked at it again and again.

With the river in front of him and the main peak of Mount Neie in the center as a reference, the map, though simple, at least allowed Chen Yang to roughly know his current location.

I roughly traced the distance on the map and found that it was about 30 to 40 miles away from the valley marked with the Udumbara flower.

Standing on the hilltop, looking north.

On the opposite bank of the Bailong River, there is a flat area of ​​two or three miles, at the end of which is a mountain range rising abruptly from the ground.

The mountain range is clearly a spur of Mount Neie, as marked on the map, stretching for dozens of miles like a city wall.

The destination is behind this mountain range.

To get there, you either have to cross the mountain or take a detour.

Taking a detour would add a hundred miles of mountain road, and crossing the mountain, which is over a thousand meters high, would take a considerable amount of time unless you flew over on a Thunderfire Eagle.

Fly over?
Should we take the risk?

Looking towards the distant mountain, Chen Yang felt a sense of unease.

It felt like being stared at by some powerful being.

He was too far away to investigate.

Should we send a few insects over to scout ahead?
Chen Yang immediately released several hundred bone-eating beetles to go ahead and scout the mountain ahead.

Waited for more than half an hour.

The swarm of insects flew back one after another and found nothing unusual. However, a few bone-eating beetles discovered a crack in the ridge halfway up the mountain.

The gap is hidden in the mountains and forests, relatively concealed, but large enough for people to pass through, making it a shortcut.

If you go through that crevice, you'll save at least half the time; you only need to climb half a mountain.

Of course, Chen Yang could also leap directly, saving time and effort, but the risk factor is indeed too high.

Flying in the air during the day is too conspicuous, and if it attracts the attention of some powerful and hostile entity, there will inevitably be trouble.

The best way is to wait until night, use the Moon Shadow Technique to conceal your presence, and then fly across, so that you can do it without anyone noticing.

But it's only noon now, and there's still some time before nightfall.

“Master, with our strength, we don’t need to be too careful. Even if we encounter a powerful beast, we can try to reason with it first. If we can’t reason with it, we can fight it. If we can’t fight it, we can always escape…” Mo Yuan stood beside Chen Yang, gazing at the distant mountains.

Chen Yang said, "I have a strange feeling that something on this mountain is watching me. Can you feel it?"

Mo Yuan said, "My cultivation level is low now, and my body's warning signs are slower than before. I don't feel what you described, but I do feel a little oppressed..."

Chen Yang took a deep breath.

Mo Yuan said, "How about we take a detour?"

Chen Yang shook his head, "Taking a detour doesn't necessarily mean you won't encounter other dangers..."

After much hesitation, Chen Yang released the Thunderfire Eagle. "Let's cross the river first."

……

The Thunderfire Eagle preened its wings, and a faint light of thunder and fire flickered in its eyes.

A man and a mouse jumped onto its back.

The Thunderfire Eagle didn't utter a sound, flapped its wings and took off, then flew towards the other side of the White Dragon River.

It has to be said, having wings is definitely better; you can fly much faster.

The Bailong River is the only major river in this hidden realm.

It is unknown where it originated or where it flows to; it is like a white dragon lying among the mountains and forests, with a width of over a hundred meters.

For some reason, the water in the river had a faint white tinge amidst its dark green color.

This may be the origin of the character "Bai" in Bailongjiang.

The Thunderfire Eagle swiftly swept across the river.

"call out!"

Just as he flew to the middle of the river, Chen Yang suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

The river surface suddenly exploded, a huge curtain of water was violently lifted, and a huge column of water slammed directly down on the Thunderfire Eagle flying in the air.
