Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#420 - Chapter 419 Investigation
"The Suanni beast said it had been to the south, which is the territory of birds," Ape Thirteen transmitted.
"What about the north?"
"We'll have to take a look to find out."
"Then let's go together."
Still led by the Green-Eyed Suanni beast, the man and two beasts followed the edge of the dense forest, relying on the cover of the mountain forest on this side, and detoured to the north.
The dense forest in the middle did not extend far to the north, only about twenty miles.
Before reaching the end, Zhang Yuanjing had already explored with his divine sense and found that it was an extremely deep canyon, filled with poisonous fog, and many poisonous insects were active in the valley.
Obviously, it was even more impossible to fly over the valley. The mountain was a stronghold for the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators. As long as someone was stationed high up, they could clearly see the situation below.
Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment, thinking that it would take Yu Tianwan and the others two days to get here, so he asked the Green-Eyed Suanni beast to continue to the west.
However, before they had gone thirty miles, they discovered the hidden outposts of the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators, and there was more than one, almost every few miles. The cultivators stationed inside were just Foundation Establishment cultivators, but there were three or five of them.
Going forward another hundred miles, there was no forest to cover them. Detouring from the mountain would easily be discovered by the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators, so Zhang Yuanjing put the two beasts into his spirit beast bag, cast the Earth Escape Technique, and moved forward from below.
Arriving at the north side, Zhang Yuanjing stuck close to the ground and found a safe place to emerge.
This was the top of a mountain peak. Not far away was a Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivator's outpost, but there were no Core Formation cultivators inside. The three Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there were all looking at the open area at the foot of the mountain, which allowed Zhang Yuanjing to easily hide nearby.
Zhang Yuanjing looked down the mountain and immediately gasped.
To the north of the continuous mountain peaks was a dense forest of hundreds of miles, full of colorful trees, with countless demon birds on them, but not a sound could be heard.
This was not because of an array blocking the sound, but because these birds did not make a sound.
Tens of thousands of demon birds stayed obediently in the trees without uttering a sound. What a strange scene this was.
Only now did Zhang Yuanjing realize that the Heavenly Devil Abyss's means of hiding in Cu Mountain were not only the great array covering the mountains, but also these obviously tamed demon birds.
Just imagine, if Yu Tianwan led dozens of Core Formation cultivators to attack and was surrounded by tens of thousands of demon birds, how many of them could retreat unscathed?
What's more, there was also an array to trap them. Even without Nascent Soul cultivators出手, they would be in great danger.
The Heavenly Devil Abyss's plan was clear: to counter Tong Tianfu's plan, lure out the Core Formation cultivators from Flowing Cloud City, destroy them in one fell swoop, and then launch a large-scale attack on Flowing Cloud City, and then decide on a follow-up strategy based on Tong Tianfu's actions.
If Tong Tianfu came to aid Flowing Cloud City, the Heavenly Devil Abyss Nascent Soul cultivators would take the opportunity to break through the Profound Origin Hall and kidnap Zhang Yuanjing, whom they believed was still guarding there.
If he didn't come, they would directly capture Flowing Cloud City and push the battle line to the foot of Heavenly Fault Mountain. In this way, Tong Tianfu would not be able to guard the Profound Origin Hall either.
However, the Heavenly Devil Abyss did not know that Zhang Yuanjing carried a piece of innate spiritual treasure, which could be used as an important chess piece to contain Nascent Soul cultivators, or even seriously injure them, rather than a disposable pawn.
Zhang Yuanjing took out the high-level sound transmission spirit jade and told Yu Tianwan what he had seen.
Half a day later, Yu Tianwan's reply arrived.
There were two sentences in total. The first sentence was "I returned to the Immortal City to report to True Man Tong. True Man Tong requested that the established plan to attack Cu Mountain remain unchanged, and said that someone would deal with the demon birds."
The second sentence was "True Man Tong specifically instructed you to sneak into the Heavenly Devil Abyss stronghold, find the sound transmission array, control the array first when the battle starts, and then go out to fight."
Sure enough! Tong Tianfu's plan to lure the enemy, whether he was in the Profound Origin Hall or not, was the most important chess piece.
He sneered. Since True Man Tong was not afraid of danger and wanted to fight the four True Men of the Heavenly Devil Abyss alone, why should he, Zhang Yuanjing, be afraid of exposing the Refined Yang Umbrella as his trump card in public? Anyway, this thing had been marked with his divine sense, and even if the sect took it back, no one could use it.
However, it was not easy to sneak into the Heavenly Devil Abyss's great array.
If he hadn't seen these tamed demon birds, he probably wouldn't have thought of it. Now that he thought about it, those carp rat demons might also have been raised by the Heavenly Devil Abyss to guard against cultivators like him who were good at earth escape.
Therefore, there might be many demon beasts good at burrowing hidden in the ground of the continuous mountain peaks. If he wanted to pass through the ground, he would have to face these demon beasts.
He did not act immediately, but quietly approached the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivator's outpost on the top of the peak to eavesdrop on the three Foundation Establishment cultivators inside.
"Senior Brother Lei, you can rest tonight. Where are you going?"
"Where can I go! The Profound Heaven Sect may attack at any time. Let's stay in the mountains and cultivate."
"Hey, it's been two years since I came to this mountain. I see these demon birds flying around every day. It's really boring. It's better to go and attack the affiliated sects of the Profound Heaven Sect!"
"Forget it, Junior Brother Wu. Last time Senior Brother Lei said he would recommend you to Elder Lan to attack those small sects, but you refused to go. Now you're saying this again."
"Hey, Senior Brother Leng, that's not how it's said. At that time, I didn't know it would be so boring here. If I had known it was like this, I wouldn't have refused. I would have gone long ago!"
...
Among the three, "Junior Brother Wu" talked the most, often talking about going out to play. "Senior Brother Leng" argued with him, and the two often quarreled. Only "Senior Brother Lei", who had the highest cultivation base, rarely spoke.
Zhang Yuanjing listened for half an hour and didn't hear any useful information. Just as he was about to leave, he saw three Foundation Establishment cultivators coming down from the mountain.
"Junior Brother Wu" walked out of the outpost first and said to the three, "Senior Brother Li, you're here very early today."
The one walking in front of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators who came down from the mountain said with a smile, "Junior Brother Wu, knowing that you are active by nature, I came early to take over."
"Junior Brother Wu" was very happy and said with a smile, "Then I really thank Senior Brother Li, thank Senior Brother Yin and Junior Brother Qian."
At this time, "Senior Brother Lei" also came out and greeted "Senior Brother Li" and the other three.
"Senior Brother Li" said, "Senior Brother Lei, a batch of tamed demon birds will be released in the mountains tonight. Elder Lin has named a few people, including you. So, you have to go to Elder Lin's place to report as soon as possible."
"Senior Brother Lei" nodded solemnly: "I'll go now. I'll trouble you, junior brothers."
"Senior Brother Li" smiled: "This is my duty!"
When Zhang Yuanjing heard the words "Elder Lin", his heart stirred. Back then, the cultivator Duan Gong said was raising strange insects was named "Lin Huan". He wondered if he was the same person as this Elder Lin.
He saw that "Senior Brother Lei" raised his foot and left after speaking, without asking if "Senior Brother Leng" and "Junior Brother Wu" were going back to the mountain with him, knowing that this was a decisive person. He quickly burrowed into the ground, followed behind him, and went down the mountain.
