"Everyone knows? Good!" Teng Qing Shan's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing in them. "The Yu Huang Treasure has great allure, and across the nine provinces, apart from the eight major sects, there are also some hidden powerful experts. Once they get wind of it, even if they're not certain, they'll come to investigate. A large number of top-notch experts will gather, enough for Qing Hu Island to drink a whole pot!"
Father and mother's affairs have filled Cong Qing Shan with murderous intentions towards this Green Lake Island! Without any room for maneuver.
However, if all the congenital strongmen of Qinghu Island gather together, he won't even have a chance to make a move... It's called muddy waters and fishing! The more congenital strongmen who come, the more chaotic the situation becomes, the easier it is for Teng Qingshan to intervene!
……
Teng Qing Shan could sense the predicament of Qing Hu Island, and Gu Yong and the other twelve innate experts could naturally imagine how people would react if they knew this secret!
As soon as they thought of their predicament, all twelve of them looked worried!
"Who spread this news?" Zhao Danchen's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, his piercing gaze sweeping around.
Gu Yong took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I got the treasure map on Qinghu Island just a few days ago. Moreover, those who know this secret are all high-ranking officials of Qinghu Island. Many soldiers, although they were ordered to catch people, they don't know the secret of Yu Huang's treasure, the news leaked out, it's not someone from inside Qinghu Island."
"Tiě yī mén!" The burly man in black robes shouted coarsely, gritting his teeth, "It must be the riffraff of Tiě yī mén!"
"That Iron Robe Gate's master 'Nie Rong', all the law enforcement elders were killed by us, important elders and leaders, all killed. Not one escaped! Could it be that some of the Iron Robe Gate's remnants without status also know about the Yu Huang treasure map?" The purple-robed woman said with a frown.
"The remnants of the Iron Clothes Sect are of low status. Logically, they shouldn't be qualified to know this secret." Yuwen Liu Feng coldly laughed and said, "But if this is Nie Rong's buried revenge move, then it's possible!"
"Yuwen elder, you said that Nie Rong deliberately sent himself to death and presented this treasure map? Don't they worry that we will get the Yu Huang treasure, but instead make Qinghu Island's strength even stronger? Your statement is untenable!"
"I think Nie Rong didn't want to die after all! He's dead, and the treasure map has fallen into our hands. This is unbearable for the remnants of the Iron Clothes Sect... So they're making this public, causing us a lot of trouble on Qing Hu Island!"
One by one, the congenital strongmen began to argue.
"Alright!"
Gu Yong's angry rebuke was followed by a cold, piercing gaze that swept across the crowd. "The most likely explanation for this is revenge from the remnants of the Iron Clothes Sect! What we need to prepare for now is how to deal with the powerful figures from various sects who will be arriving soon! Given the speed of these top-notch innate experts, even if they rode ordinary warhorses, they would at least be riding 'Black Fiend Horses' or 'Blood Dragon Horses'. If they received news yesterday and set out immediately, some of these powerful figures should have arrived by today!"
Three great dragon horses, all of which are top-grade divine steeds capable of traveling five thousand miles in a single day.
Moreover, the mounts of the Innately Strong Ones, apart from the three great dragon horses, some sects also have special mounts. For example, some tameable demonic beasts. Although demonic beasts are difficult to tame, among the hundreds and thousands of species of demonic beasts, there are still a very small number that can be tamed through special methods.
The method of domestication is a secret not spread outside some sects.
Some fierce demon beasts are fast, but they're not one bit inferior to the three great dragon horses.
"Go, get up there." Gu Yong shouted.
At that moment, the twelve congenital strongmen rose into the sky like lightning, occasionally borrowing the power of Tengman. The hundred-meter-deep bottomless pit was instantly traversed by these twelve congenital strongmen, who then pitched a military tent at the location of the bottomless pit. The tent enveloped everything below, and from the outside, no one knew... that the location of this military tent was actually the location of the bottomless pit.
……
At the bottom of the cave, where the waterway turned a corner, Teng Qing Mountain leaned against the damp rock wall, took off the package behind his back, and untied the tightly tied rope at the mouth of the package. The package was specially customized by Teng Qing Mountain, containing tiancan silk and other materials, with a waterproof leather outer layer.
He took out some pancakes and Teng Qing Shan ate some of them.
Although Teng Qing Shan can go without eating for a period of time, eating food can strengthen his qi and blood, making him feel refreshed and clear-headed.
******
Deep in the damp cave, a blood-stained body lay on the icy ground, which was none other than Teng Yongfan who had been seriously injured!
"Drip!"
A milky white liquid drop slowly emerged from the crevice in the upper rock wall, and it took a long time for one drop to fall. Teng Yongfan closed his eyes, opened his mouth and waited for this water drop.
Actually, deep in this underground place, it's easy to drink water to replenish bodily fluids. In some places of the damp cave, there are small pools with accumulated water. However, for Teng Yongfan now... drinking water doesn't have much effect. The milky white liquid he drank after a long time has a special effect.
Motionless Tun Yongfan, but his mind was very clear.
Suddenly——
Hong Yongfan's eyes suddenly opened wide, and in those pupils there was endless longing and determination!
"Heaven won't abandon me!" Teng Yongfan looked up at the crack in the cliff above his head.
He still clearly remembers the process from yesterday evening until now.
Originally, Teng Yongfan was prepared to die with the Silver Python Army soldiers, but the sudden appearance of the demon beast 'Black Iron Centipede' gave him a glimmer of hope. Those soldiers were facing a life-and-death crisis and didn't care about Teng Yongfan anymore... Teng Yongfan was very clear that his lower body was completely out of control and he couldn't escape from the Silver Python Army's range.
Not to mention the Silver Python Army, I reckon even the Black Iron Centipede could kill him.
So, at that time, Teng Yongfan gritted his teeth and recklessly supported himself with both arms, jumping towards the bottomless pit! Even so resolute, he was still dragged down by the black iron centipede, tearing off more than half of his leg! However, the black iron centipede that went to kill a large number of Silver Python Army soldiers gave Teng Yongfan enough time to escape to the bottom of the cave.
At the bottom of the waterway, Teng Yongfan was bleeding severely.
He had no choice but to immediately use a strip of cloth to tie off his left thigh at the break, stopping the bleeding.
At the bottom of the icy waterway, there are many dense caves, like a beehive.
Relying on his nose, Teng Yongfan chose a cave with almost no iron centipede smell... No iron centipede smell means that few iron centipedes enter this cave. Teng Yongfan crawled into the cave for nearly a hundred feet, and severely blood-depleted Teng Yongfan fainted from exhaustion!
No food, severe blood loss, dizziness and weakness, Teng Yongfan wanted to crawl so far with his two arms, and then climb out of the bottomless cave entrance with vines. It's simply impossible!
"Heaven won't abandon me, I didn't think this milky white droplet would have such an effect!" Teng Yongfan secretly exclaimed. After escaping into the cave and fainting, he soon woke up... The reason he woke up was that the milky white liquid dripped onto his hand, the bone-piercing chill awakening Teng Yongfan.
This milky white water droplet is extremely icy!
Heng Yongfan tried drinking a drop, but felt an icy sensation spreading throughout his body. His originally exhausted and limp body gradually regained its strength. Moreover, this icy sensation also cleared the dizziness in his head caused by blood loss.
After one night had passed, Teng Yongfan felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot.
So lying still and not moving is in order to conserve energy!
"I haven't eaten anything for a long time! This milky white liquid is strange, but it can't solve my hunger." Teng Yongfan was very clear, "No matter how magical the effect of this item is, without food to replenish me, I've lost so much blood. My strength will only gradually decrease... If we don't leave soon, when time passes, I'm afraid there won't be enough time to escape."
……
Use both arms as two legs and move forward slowly.
"There are so many caves in this waterway. I'm sure there's more than one of those monsters. If we're discovered by them, we'll definitely die." Teng Yongfan advanced very cautiously, guessing that the Silver Python soldiers who had been exploring the bottomless pits were being hunted down by the monster because they made too much noise and were discovered.
Slowly moving forward, after a long time...
Hong Yongfan was only five or six zhang away from the entrance of this cave. After passing through these five or six zhang, he would enter the waterway.
"Gushing~~" Suddenly came the sound of water flowing.
"Huh?" Tong Yongfan was shocked, and didn't move a muscle.
About fifty or sixty feet away, Teng Yongfan's eyesight could barely see a dark shadow flashing by the entrance of the cave, and a fishy smell spread out.
At the smell of this stench, Teng Yongfan's face changed greatly, "It's that demon beast!"
This smell of iron, Teng Yongfan would never forget for his whole life. This was the smell of 'Black Iron Centipede'... Apparently, he had guessed it right. The dense holes here, the surviving Black Iron Centipedes, were indeed not just one!
******
Heng Yongfan is a small figure, so he needs to struggle for life.
The innate strongmen standing at the top of the nine states' land are actually eyeing and going crazy for the Yu Huang treasure.
……
At the foot of Mount Daeyangshan.
"Haha, Brother Wang! In my opinion, with Gu Yong's surname and character, wanting him to let Qing Hu Island go, it's hard for us to get a share of the spoils." A refined middle-aged man wearing a purple long gown chuckled, with an embroidery of Qingfeng Sword on his back, walking along the official road with two legs.
Like him, there were five others who walked on the official road with empty hands.
Apart from the six of them, there were five men wearing scale armor and leading black wolves. The five black wolves led by these five men were even larger than ordinary warhorses.
"Shi Lao!" said the burly man with four braids, who was leading a black wolf. "Hmph, it's inevitable! Can Qinghu Island really stop us? However, whether the Yu Huang treasure is real or fake is still uncertain! You Xiangyang Palace and I She Ri Shen Mountain will join forces to force our way into the mountain and pressure them a bit! If this ancient city doesn't dare let us in to search, then the Yu Huang treasure must be real!"
Just at this time ——
The sound of horseshoes echoed, and dozens of war horses rushed over from behind.
"Your Lordship!" Dozens of knights jumped down, one of whom knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.
That burly man with four braids, wearing scale armor, gave him a cold glance and snorted: "The news from Shen Shan should have arrived in Jiangning City at dawn today! The disciples of the Xiao Yao Palace had already taken away their elders' war horses. And you... only arrived now."
The first Han man sweated on his forehead but did not dare to quibble.
"Take away these five ink wolves and take good care of them. If you can't handle things again... humph." The burly man grunted, "Go."
"Yes, sir."
That first Hanzi, with great respect, even arranged for people to lead away five black wolves. The Shèyue divine mountain is located in the Yan Zhou continent. As the largest sect of Yan Zhou, Yan Zhou is the southernmost state of the entire Jiuzhou mainland, and it is itself a place with many mountains and forests, bordering on the barbaric wilderness. Domesticating black wolves is one of the great secrets of Shèyue divine mountain. Each black wolf is very precious.
These dozens of people took away five ink wolves quickly.
The eleven powerful individuals from the Carefree Palace and the Divine Mountain entered the Great Mountain and proceeded forward for a short while.
"Look, up in the sky." A lean, bald-headed man with a black strong bow on his back from Mount Sheng looked up at the sky.
At this moment, the other ten powerhouses all looked up at the sky.
Only five snow eagles were seen circling slowly in the sky above Dayan Mountain.
"The speed of Xueying is indeed fast, even if it's far away in the northern state of Yan, the people who were taught by Xueying have arrived." A purple-robed bald old man said with a smile.
