Chapter 406 Observing Kowloon Ridge

After hearing the old owner's explanation, Lu Yan asked curiously, "If that's the case, then how do you know it so clearly?"

The old owner said with a chuckle: "Our Nine Dragons Village has lived here since ancient times, and the old people in the village have heard about the legend about the Nine Dragons Sect. After word of mouth, we younger generations naturally know a little bit about it. "

"However, because we have never discovered the remains of the Nine Dragon Sect in Nine Dragon Ridge in the past, we have always regarded these as myths and legends, and did not really take them to heart."

"It was only when we saw you people coming that we realized that the legends are true."

"The Nine Dragon Sect is really in Nine Dragon Ridge."

When Lu Yan heard the old owner's explanation, he seemed to have no problem at first glance.

But if you think carefully, you will find some loopholes.

The logic is not rigorous enough in all aspects.

It is not difficult to see from this that the old owner's explanation should be based on some facts.

As for why the old owner made up these words mixed with facts and lies, Lu Yan also had a rough guess.

He gave the old owner a meaningful look, and didn't ask any more questions.

With the previous experience and lessons, he knew that if he continued to question, he might dig a hole for himself again.

So even if he wants to inquire about some more news, it is best to ask someone else.

Lu Yan casually chatted with the old owner about some things, and then greeted Zixun, planning to go to the outskirts of Jiulongling to have a look.

People who came to Jiulongling, although many people did not rush into Jiulongling, they basically stood outside and watched.

So Lu Yan's behavior at this time was very normal, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

Therefore, Zixun happily approved Lu Yan's application.

However, she still carefully reminded Lu Yan not to enter Jiulongling alone.

After Lu Yan left, Zi Xun came to the old owner and asked, "What did he ask you just now?"

The old owner looked at the direction in which Lu Yan was leaving, and replied, "He asked me some very common questions, nothing special."

Zi Xun nodded lightly when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "He saw through our plan, but thought that someone else was implementing this plan, and didn't know that it was all written by us."

Hearing Zi Xun's words, the old owner showed a clear look on his face, and said: "It's no wonder that you brought an alchemist here, but from his previous words, it can be seen that he is indeed a smart man." .”

Zi Xun sighed softly and said: "The people who die the most in this world are often smart people, and the stupid people will live very well instead."

When Zi Xun was talking with the old owner, they didn't know that their conversation had been heard clearly by Lu Yan who had already left.

I have to say that Lu Yan really loves clairvoyant eyes and wind ears.

It is simply a magical skill to spy on intelligence.

What made Lu Yan feel more at ease was that Taoist Huang Mu was in the old owner's yard when he played Shunfeng Er just now.

But Taoist Huang Mu didn't seem to have any reaction to this.

There are mixed mermaids here, so Lu Yan took the opportunity to use clairvoyance to test Taoist Huangmu.

What surprised him was that Taoist Huang Mu didn't respond to the prying eyes of clairvoyance!

"Huang Mu Taoist is a quasi-sage, how can he be so vigilant?"

"Even if you can't detect my snooping, you should be alert, right?"

Lu Yan frowned slightly, always feeling that Taoist Huang Mu had lowered the gold content of the quasi-sage by himself.

Involuntarily, he suddenly thought of the Law Fruit!

Maybe Taoist Huangmu didn't rely on his own ability to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, grasp the laws of heaven and earth, and promote himself as a quasi-sage.

Instead, he was promoted to quasi-sage by swallowing the fruit of the law!
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Yan felt that this possibility was extremely high!
"This Huangmu Taoist, nine out of ten, became a quasi-sage relying on the fruit of the law!"

"Although a quasi-sage like him can be considered a quasi-sage, he is definitely the weakest among quasi-sages."

"It's no wonder that when I faced him at the auction that day, I didn't feel too much sense of crisis."

"I was almost misled by him, thinking that quasi-sages are all at this level!"

Lu Yan took a deep look at Taoist Huangmu, and then withdrew his gaze.

He walked out of Jiulongzhuang slowly and came to the surrounding area of ​​Jiulongling.

At this time, there are many monks on the outskirts of Jiulongling watching the direction of Jiulongling.

Some people also tried to walk into the fog, but they didn't go deep, and they came out soon.

Lu Yan looked at the fog, and after some investigation, he found that his vision would be greatly hindered under normal circumstances.

The field of vision is about one foot in radius, and almost nothing can be seen beyond one foot.

Not only vision, but also hearing are also hindered to some extent.

It is also difficult for divine sense to penetrate these fogs.

In this case, if there is any crisis coming from afar, almost no one can react in an instant unless they are fully alert all the time.

It's no wonder that almost no one can fully explore Jiulongling today.

"Try clairvoyance and wind ear."

Thinking of this, Lu Yan activated clairvoyant eyes and shunfeng ears at the same time.

And after Lu Yan used these two supernatural powers, the foggy Jiulongling suddenly became clear.

Although there is still a layer of fog, it has become very shallow.

Everything you can see is very clear!

The low sound of insects, the faint sound of the wind, all these sounds are also very clear!

Soon, Lu Yan saw many crystal clear plants on the ground of Jiulongling.

He didn't need to guess, he knew that this must be the glazed grass that spread all over Jiulongling.

In addition to the glazed grass, he also saw the black dragon grass that looked like a vine, was pitch black, and twisted like a dragon.

And the white dragon grass that looks similar.

"These are the glazed grass, the black dragon grass and the white dragon grass. The old farmer did not lie about this."

Lu Yan observed the glazed grass, and could clearly see wisps of faint white mist emanating from the glazed grass.

On the Black Dragon Grass, wisps of black smoke-like poisonous gas floated, and then slowly merged into the surrounding mist.

"interesting."

Lu Yan looked at the situation in Jiulongling, and didn't rush into it just because he had seen through everything.

He still wants to stay with the members of the Duobao Club and start exploring as a member of the Duobao Club.

After all, Duobaohui and the old owner know Jiulongling better, and also know the specific situation of the ancient ruins.

So following them may save a lot of detours.

After observing for a while, Lu Yan suddenly felt something, and raised his head to look at the sky.

Above the sky, a cloud boat sailed from afar.

This cloud boat seems to be made of flowers, it looks like a huge flower basket.

But what really attracted Lu Yan's attention was not the strange image of Yunzhou.

Rather, there is an extremely strong aura on the cloud boat.

Quasi holy!

At the same time, several equally powerful breaths appeared one after another not far away.

These quasi-sages seem to have made an agreement, and Qiqi will appear on the top of Jiulongling!

Feeling the breath of these quasi-sages, Lu Yan couldn't help but become a little subtle.

"The auras of these quasi-sages are all stronger than Taoist Huangmu, and much stronger!"

"This Taoist Huangmu is really not good at it!"

Lu Yan took a deep look at the approaching Yunzhou, and suddenly looked around.

When he found that everyone was paying attention to the cloud boats that had just arrived like him, he quietly took a few steps back and walked into the mist of Jiulongling without a sound.

He stood in the mist, cast his clairvoyance and ear, and swept these cloud boats at will.

"Ok?"

Just when Lu Yan's spy had just arrived on the cloud boat, there was a puzzled hum in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a sense of crisis about to be exposed!

Fortunately, the mist of Jiulongling covered him, and the quasi-sage on the cloud boat could not discover his existence in the first place.

He resolutely withdrew his gaze and dispersed his magical powers.

Then he walked out of the mist naturally, as if nothing happened before.

At this moment.

Lu Yan has been confirmed.

The quasi-sage can discover his snooping!

Taoist Huangmu couldn't find out, it was because Taoist Huangmu was not good enough!
"call."

Lu Yan let out a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.

Fortunately, he didn't think that all quasi-sages were of this level because of Taoist Huangmu's performance.

Fortunately, the mist of Jiulongling can help him cover up and test these quasi-sages who have just arrived.

Only in this way can he determine the true level of the quasi-sage.

If not, he will face other quasi-sages in the future, and he will definitely suffer a big loss if he treats other quasi-sages as Huangmu Taoist!

"This Taoist Huangmu doesn't know if there is any background in Duobaohui."

Lu Yan thought about it.

He felt that Taoist Huangmu's background must not be simple.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for Duobao to swallow such a rare law fruit for Taoist Huangmu.

Just when Lu Yan was thinking about these things, those cloud boats had already landed near Jiulongzhuang at the same time.

Four quasi-sages from various forces gathered on the top of the mountain, and they all looked at Jiulongling not far away.

One of them was wearing a long dress made of colorful flowers, which looked bright and moving.

She is a quasi-sage from the Flower Fairy Valley, a flower fairy from the previous generation, and now a strange flower Taoist.

Looking in the direction of Jiulongling, she said to everyone: "You all must have felt that there is something in Jiulongling spying on us."

"That's right, the old man feels the same way."

The person who spoke was an old man with white hair and a childlike face in a black robe.

His name is Liang Qianzhong, he is from the Qianxiu Sect of Daliang Mountain, and he is the Supreme Elder of the Qianxiu Sect.

This Qianxiu Sect, like Huaxian Valley, is a well-known orthodox sect in the fire domain.

The other two were Mu Yuan, the old mansion master from Taiping City's city lord's mansion, and Beiyang, the supreme elder of the Beishan sect.

They are all quasi-sages and have long been famous in the fire domain.

At the same time, they all rely on their own talents to comprehend the power of the laws of heaven and earth, so as to be promoted to quasi-sages.

When Lu Yan spied on them with clairvoyance and wind ears, they all sensed it immediately.

It's just that when they wanted to find Lu Yan's trace, they couldn't find Lu Yan in the first time.

On the one hand, it is because Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear are very secretive when spying.

Although they all have the feeling of being spied on, but this feeling is not very obvious.

On the other hand, it is because of the heavy fog in Kowloon Ridge.

When they tried to find Lu Yan through some clues, they were blocked by fog.

It was also at this time that Lu Yan had put away his magical powers.

In this way, it will be difficult for them to find Lu Yan.

The old palace lord Mu Yuan said to everyone: "The spy seems to come from Jiulongling, could it be some kind of creature in Jiulongling?"

As powerhouses who have been famous for many years, they naturally understand the Jedi of Jiulongling.

In their cognition, unless there is such an existence as the Great Dao Saint, no one can spy on the outside world in the fog of Jiulongling.

Even quasi-sages like them are hindered by the fog in this Jiulongling, let alone other people.

There is no need for the Great Dao Sage to secretly spy on them.

No one else could spy on them through the mist.

So the one spying on them in Jiulongling may be the Holy Spirit who already lives in Jiulongling.

Maybe it has something to do with the ancient ruins!

Thinking of this, the expressions on everyone's faces became a little subtle.

Why would the creatures in Kowloon Ridge spy on them?
Could it be that these creatures were threatened by their arrival?
"No matter who is spying on us, we are going to go to Jiulongling."

Beiyang, the elder of Beishan Zongtai, spoke.

They came for the ancient ruins, to obtain such treasures as the fruit of the law from the ancient ruins.

It is absolutely impossible to shrink back because of a prying gaze.

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard Beiyang's words.

Since they came here to explore the ancient ruins, they are naturally prepared to deal with various dangers.

As a quasi-sage, he was already at the pinnacle of the fire realm.

If they don't even have the confidence to deal with all kinds of dangers, then they have lived in vain for so many years.

"I heard that people from the Duobao Society arrived one step ahead of us, and the person who came was Taoist Huangmu."

Liang Qianzhong, the grand elder of Qianxiuzong, suddenly spoke and mentioned Taoist Huang Mu.

Taoist Qihua heard Liang Qianzhong's words and asked curiously: "Taoist Huangmu? Why haven't I heard of this person before?"

Mu Yuan, the old palace lord of Taiping City, replied: "This person was only recently promoted to quasi-sage. It's normal that you haven't heard of him."

Taoist Qihua heard Mu Yuan's words, and asked a little strangely: "The Duobao Society actually invites a person who has just been promoted to a quasi-sage. Doesn't he need to stabilize his realm?"

After they were promoted to quasi-sages, they spent decades to stabilize their realm.

It was not until he truly mastered the power of the laws of heaven and earth that he exited the level.

This Taoist Huangmu has only recently been promoted to quasi-sage, so he must have just realized the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and has not really grasped the power of laws of heaven and earth.

At this time, instead of retreating to stabilize the realm, it is really strange to walk around outside.

With the strong strength of the Duobao Society and the large number of quasi-sages, it is completely unreasonable to send Taoist Huangmu here.

When Mu Yuan heard Taoist Qihua's question, he shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on."

Beiyang and Liang Qianzhong looked at each other, and they both saw some confusion in each other's eyes.

The Duobao Club was a little too careless about the matter of the ancient ruins this time.

This is strange.

"Since you're curious, why not go over and have a look."

Mu Yuan glanced at the direction of the old owner's yard.

Long before he came here, he had already received news that the members of the Duobao Club had negotiated with the old owner before everyone else, and hired the old owner as their guide into Jiulongling.

They missed the old owner, so they had to hire other hunters as guides.

But the others are not a bit worse than the old owner.

So they wanted to talk to someone from the Duobao Club.

If they can temporarily form an alliance with the Duobao Society and hire the old owner as a guide, their actions in Jiulongling will be much more convenient.

When everyone heard Mu Yuan's words, they subconsciously turned around and looked at the old owner's yard.

They looked at each other, then walked towards the old owner's yard.

When the monks on the road saw the four of Mu Yuan coming hand in hand, they all avoided to the sides and gave way to the road.

Lu Yan mixed in the crowd, looking at the four Mu Yuan who walked past.

Observing the four of Mu Yuan closely at this time, he could feel the extremely surging aura of these four.

It's not comparable to Taoist Huangmu at all.

In the old owner's yard, Taoist Huang Mu had already noticed the arrival of the four Mu Yuan.

He stood in front of the gate of the yard, waiting for the arrival of the four of Mu Yuan.

In terms of strength, although he is not as good as Mu Yuan and the other four.

But he is backed by the Duobao Club, and with the support of the Duobao Club, in terms of status, he is on an equal footing with the Mu Yuan four.

Seeing that the four people from Muyuan had approached, Taoist Huang Mu took a step forward and said, "I've seen Fellow Daoist Qihua, Master Mu, Fellow Daoist Liang, and Fellow Daoist Beiyang."

When the four Mu Yuan heard Taoist Huangmu's words, they also greeted Taoist Huangmu with a smile, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mu Yuan took the initiative to say to Taoist Huang Mu: "Fellow Taoist Huang Mu, we came together this time mainly to discuss one matter with you."

Taoist Huang Mu smiled slightly and said: "The old Palace Master has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Mu Yuan said: "The news that there are ancient ruins in Jiulongling has spread all over the fairy world. Recently, people have come here to explore."

"All forces in our fire domain should unite, share the same hatred, support each other, and jointly explore the ancient ruins."

"I don't know how Huang Mudao's friendship will be?"

Taoist Huang Mu laughed when he heard Mu Yuan's words, and said, "Of course I don't have any opinion on this, I just don't know how the old palace master plans to join forces?"

Mu Yuan replied: "We will go together and enter Jiulong Ridge together. After we find the ancient ruins, we will separate and go to find opportunities separately. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Huang Mu?"

Taoist Huang Mu smiled slightly and said, "That's very good."
