Immortal Mansion Longevity

Chapter 589 Suddenly!

"Wait. Does this direction seem to be not far from the ruins of the "Changnan Ancient Road"?"

Looking back deeply at the direction where the third-rank fire bird left, Liu Yu had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and suddenly thought of something.

According to the records in the ancient books, and the information given by the League of Seven, the direction in which the third-order Firebird left seems to be not far from the location of the "Changnan Ancient Road".

With this thought flashing in his mind, he immediately lowered his light and searched on the ground with very little vegetation.

Trying to find some clues to verify my guess.

With a clear goal, Liu Yu scanned carefully with his spiritual sense, and it didn't take long before he found a clue.

This is a palm-sized brown rock, but there is a deep rut on it, very much like the trace of being run over by a wheel.

"Perhaps, this was originally an ordinary piece of soil. When the "Changnan Ancient Road" still existed, it was run over by passing wheels."

"Later, the "Changnan Ancient Road" was re-controlled by the Yaozu, and the former buildings were destroyed. Under the high temperature environment of the Xinghuo Mountains, the soil gradually solidified into rocks."

Wiping away the dust, Liu Yu carefully looked at the brown rock, thinking about its past.

Looking at the continuous volcanoes in the distance, he is not at all surprised that the road that once belonged to the human race has become what it is today.

For high-ranking monks, moving mountains to fill seas is too simple.

Even the current Liu Yu can barely move some hills by casting spells.

Not to mention the fourth and fifth rank demon cultivators, moving mountains to fill seas, burning mountains and boiling seas, are just waiting for nothing.

Perhaps in those days, the range of Xinghuo Mountains was not so large.

Only after cutting off the connection between Zhongyu and Tiannan, in order to destroy the "Changnan Ancient Road", did the Huofeng clan expand their scope here and bring this place under their direct control.

"So, if you keep walking in this direction, you may reach Zhongyu?"

Liu Yu guessed in his heart.

Some of the volcanoes here are indeed "dwarf" compared to the main body of the Xinghuo Mountains one or two thousand miles away.

And if you look carefully, you can obviously find traces of human movement, which is not natural.

In this way, everything makes sense.

The Fire Phoenix Clan brought the safest "Changnan Ancient Road" from Tiannan to Central Territory directly under their jurisdiction, making the originally safe road extremely dangerous. Naturally, the Central Territory monks would not foolishly confront them head-on.

Over time, he has not been attacked by monks, and it is normal for him to relax his defense.

What's more, the Xinghuo Mountains are not directly bordering the Central Territory, and there are many not weak monster clan forces in the middle, so they don't need to be guarded all the time.

"As a former ancient road, it will definitely receive the attention of the Yaozu Royal Court. It is definitely not a wise choice to follow the ancient road."

"However, the defense here is relatively lax, so it can be used as one of the backup breakthrough points to break through the blockade."

"Observe and observe later."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu put the brown rock back to its original place, and restored it to its original shape in great detail.

Then the magic power turned, and the "Wall of Divine Consciousness" surrounded the surroundings, returning to the temporary cave built by the "Ice Soul Mysterious Light Formation".

He tried his best to avoid the demon cultivators along the way, without any thought of making a move. He left without a sound, without being noticed by any demon cultivators or monsters.

……

"Click"

There was movement from the formation, Gao Jianhan, Mu Yunyan, and Zhuo Mengzhen, who had been waiting for news, immediately became vigilant when they heard the sound.

It was only when he found out that it was Liu Yu that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang, how is the situation?"

A pair of eyes were fixed on Liu Yu, and Mu Yunyan couldn't wait to speak.

Right now "the ammunition is exhausted", the improvement of cultivation is as slow as a tortoise, Zhuo Mengzhen is better, and the other two are suffering.

After all, Gao Jianhan and Mu Yunyan are not young anymore, and they want to take part in the "Chang'an Project" this time to see if they can have a chance to conceive a baby.

But in the past nearly 30 years, they still haven't reached Zhongyu, and both of them became impatient,

If more time is consumed, even if the plan is successful in the end, the two will lose the chance to congeal the baby.

Gao Jianhan has "Golden Scale Fruit", and the situation is a little bit better, while Mu Yunyan can't sit still anymore.

"There were some unexpected discoveries."

After walking to the main seat and sitting down, he took a sip of spiritual tea, and Liu Yu spoke slowly.

Next, he didn't hide anything, and told about the terrain he observed and the information about the third-order Firebird that he accidentally discovered.

Of course, the conjectures about the possible existence of human monks behind the Xinghuo Mountains and the "Changnan Ancient Road" were also mentioned.

Liu Yu's unhurried voice sounded in the narrow hall, and the three of them listened quietly.

"Although the defense is loose, there are still a dozen demon cultivators. If we want to force our way in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so."

"If you are entangled by the demon cultivators and fall into the quagmire of fighting skills, I am afraid that the metamorphosis demon cultivators from Xinghuo Mountains will arrive soon."

After hearing the news, Mu Yunyan was a little disappointed and sighed lightly.

She realized that there might be another delay.

But in the current situation, it is useless to be anxious, Mu Yunyan can only try to calm down her anxious state of mind.

"Friend Qingyang, can you use your spirit beast again to see if you can get away with it?"

Gao Jianhan seldom opened his mouth.

The spirit beast it refers to is naturally Xiaoqing.

After embarking on the road of transforming flood dragons, Xiaoqing can also be ranked at the top of the spirit demon bloodline.

And the monster clan respects strength, and ordinary monster cultivators dare not interrogate them at all.

Therefore, several times, when encountering extremely dangerous situations, Liu Yu released Xiaoqing, and several people hid in his mouth.

With a trick of "hiding in the mouth of the beast", he successfully passed several levels.

However, it is impossible for any third-level demon cultivator to appear out of thin air. After using this trick a few times to fool him, Liu Yu no longer used it.

After all, Xiaoqing's identity could not withstand any investigation, once it was exposed at a critical moment, it would be a trap for the four of them.

And Yaozu is not stupid, as long as Xiaoqing is suspected, this trick can basically not be used again.

"No, after the previous few times, the monster race must have begun to suspect."

"Using Xiaoqing again, the risk is too great."

Liu Yu shook his head slightly, rejecting Gao Jianhan's proposal.

Using Xiaoqing three times, the four of them "disappeared out of thin air" every time, but this half-dragon, half-snake demon cultivator happened to appear, and it was almost impossible not to arouse suspicion.

He didn't dare to underestimate the wisdom of the demon cultivator, so after three times, he decided not to dispatch Xiaoqing again.

Moreover, the Xinghuo Mountains are the territory of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and its bloodline is at the same level as that of the Jiaolong. Xiaoqing's bloodline is not enough to make the Fire Phoenix Clan fearful.

Show up with swagger, and you're bound to be questioned, and then everything will go wrong.

"Ok."

Seeing Liu Yu's resolute attitude, Gao Jianhan nodded slightly, but did not continue to insist.

Seeing that there is no shortcut, the four of them can only follow the old method, first continue to observe for a period of time to collect information, and then formulate a strategy for crossing.

After continuing to chat for a while, the four of them returned to their rooms after the meeting was over.

On the stone bed, Liu Yu sits cross-legged and exercises exercises to adjust his breath, recovering his energy and resting for a day.

The next day, under the watchful eye of three teammates, he started again.

This time, Liu Yu focused on the previous discovery.

Observe the original "Changnan Ancient Road" and the movement on the other side of the dead volcano, try to find out the activity rules of the demon cultivators, and see if you can find a gap.

……

Time flies, with Liu Yu frequently going out and the three of them waiting anxiously, three months passed in a flash.

"Click"

A dead branch on the ground suddenly broke, and the low-level monster who heard the movement looked around, but there was nothing there.

They twitched their noses, and there was no new smell in the air.

After watching for a while, there were no new discoveries. The low-level monster quickly lost patience and lowered its head to do its own thing.

Although the possibility of the "green soul yarn" being discovered is not small if the demon cultivator scans carefully, but for these low-level monsters, it is almost impossible to be detected, which is still very easy to use.

Urged by Zhuo Mengzhen to activate the "Green Soul Yarn", the four put away their formations and moved forward cautiously. They came to a stone forest with strange rocks and looked at the dead volcanoes in the distance.

"Friend Qingyang, this is the place you mentioned."

"Is this really part of the "Changnan Ancient Road"?"

After looking at the mountains in the distance for a while, Mu Yunyan had a hint of disbelief in her eyes, she turned her head and asked.

Everything in front of me is really hard to think of on the "Changnan Ancient Road".

There are low-level demon cultivators everywhere in a continuous volcano, and there are several powerful third-level demon cultivators in the continuous volcano. It is really hard to think of the word "road".

Although most of the immortal cultivators flew away, when Tiannan was still in the expansion stage, there were indeed many qi refining monks and mortals walking to Tiannan, and there was indeed a ground road.

According to records, it is about tens of feet wide.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and scanned the rutted brown rock on the ground, and said with absolute certainty.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, at this moment, he suddenly remembered a song that is familiar to the world:

Drawing arrows to find the ruts of the ancient road,

The canopy devours in the twilight,

Be a wolf smoke, go to the clouds and ride the dust,
The whole world. I am the only one!
Nodding her head, there was still a hint of disbelief in her eyes, but Mu Yunyan had already believed most of it at this time.

Recalling the records in ancient books and the information given by the League of Seven Nations, after some comparisons, the "Changnan Ancient Road" is indeed almost in this direction.

"The power to change the environment on such a large scale, turn the former ancient road into the current volcano, and the power of the Nascent Soul Transformation God Realm is really unimaginable to us."

"It's really scary!"

Looking at the endless volcanoes and feeling the rich fire-attribute aura in the space, Zhuo Mengzhen sighed.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell into silence.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang, if you really don't think about it, try your spirit beast again?"

"The concubine's bloodline is very extraordinary, and she is at the top of the bloodline of the spirit demon. Maybe she can get away with it?"

Turning her eyes, Mu Yunyan asked unwillingly.

Using the same method, she passed the test three times in a row. It's not that this woman is ignorant of the danger involved.

It's just that if smuggling fails and turns into forced entry, the risk is even greater.
For her, it is better to take out Xiaoqing and try again. If she is lucky enough, she may be able to pass through the Xinghuo Mountains without any danger.

"It is impossible for any third-level demon cultivator to appear out of thin air."

"Third-level demon cultivator, even if he is at the upper level in the entire demon clan, he has records in the royal court of the demon clan."

"Because of the previous three uses, Xiaoqing may have been exposed, and we must not take another risk, otherwise it will be no different from throwing ourselves into a trap."

"Fairy Mu, don't take chances like this again!"

When he said this, Liu Yu turned his head to look at Mu Yunyan with meaningful eyes.

"."

The proposal was rejected mercilessly, Mu Yunyan smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.

She can't beat it, and it's his spirit beast, so there's nothing she can do if they don't use her.

In the past three months, Liu Yu has traveled all over the Xinghuo Mountains, basically observing the terrain and the strength of the defense force.

The final conclusion is - unfathomable.

Except for this place that was first noticed, how many demon cultivators there are in other places, and whether there will be a sudden appearance of demon cultivators in transformation form is not at all certain.

But this place, because the Firebird will appear every half a month, and the defense force has almost been figured out.

Every half a month, the third-tier firebird would carry the iron fine cage in its mouth, transport a cage full of monks, and send it to a certain place in the Xinghuo Mountains.

Escorting these monks may be doing other things, but it is more likely to be rations for demon cultivators!

The vicinity of the Xinghuo Mountains is also dangerous, there are groups of fourth-order monsters or Jedi, and due to the special distribution, if you don't want to force your way into the lair of the fourth-order demon cultivators, you will more or less have to pass through the Xinghuo Mountains in the end.

Compared with Xinghuo Mountains, the four of them knew a little information, but they didn't know anything about the surrounding situation.

Even if there are records in the ancient books, Liu Yu and others can't believe it. Who knows if there will be changes after so many years?

If the plan is made completely according to the recorded information, if it does not match the actual situation, then there may not even be a whole body left!
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the four of them can still only focus on the Xinghuo Mountains, and they can only look at the location far away from the "Changnan Ancient Road" without finding a good breakthrough.

But even if there are only ten demon cultivators here, the possibility of a few of them trying to smuggle there by relying on the "Qinghunsha" is still very small, so Gao Jianhan, Mu Yunyan, and Zhuo Mengzhen are still hesitating, unable to make a decision for a long time .

"How about I wait and see for a few more months?"

Zhuo Meng was really a little guilty, and tentatively opened his mouth.

After the words fell, Mu Yunyan and Gao Jianhan nodded one after another. They all felt that Liu Yu's method was too "reckless".

Crossing the front blockade, the hole cards prepared for them by the school have been exhausted, and they really don't have the confidence to "smuggle" there.

If the demon cultivator finds out by any chance, it will be impossible to escape!
"This place is a quiet extinct volcano, and the spiritual veins are at most third-level top-grade, and it is one or two thousand miles away from the main body of the Xinghuo Mountains."

"Even if we start fighting, the Fire Phoenix Clan will be hard to detect for a while."

"And after crossing the blockade, referring to the location of the ancient road, it is very likely that you will meet a monk in the central region. Why are you hesitating?"

Liu Yu frowned, glanced at several people, and said slowly.

Due to his strong strength, he did not consume important hole cards when crossing the front blockade.

Therefore, the "Flash Thousand Miles Talisman" and "One Qi Universe Talisman" are still lying quietly in the storage ring.

For him, as long as there are a few teammates who attract the attention of the demon cultivator, and then use the "One Qi Universe Talisman" based on his own strength, the possibility of getting away safely is very high.

Therefore, Liu Yu highly praised this action and tried his best to persuade the three of them.

If the information is correct, the Xinghuo Mountains are not far from the "Annan Protectorate's Mansion", and teammates are not that important.

However, the three of them are not taking it easy, they are keenly aware of the hidden crisis, and if they break through from this, it may become a stepping stone.

So no matter what Liu Yu said, he still refused to let go.

After a pause, giving the three of them some time to think, Liu Yu continued:

"After three months of investigation, this place is already the weakest defensive force that Liu can find."

"If it is changed to another location, the defense force will only be stronger."

"If you don't believe me, a few fellow daoists can investigate for themselves and then make a decision."

This place is indeed a place with the weakest defense force, and the risk of passing through is relatively small.

If this place is chosen as the breakthrough point, the three of them have the greatest possibility of becoming stepping stones, but there is also hope of escape.

If you choose other places, you will almost die without life!

Therefore, Liu Yu was not worried that the three of them would not submit obediently, because what he said were all the truth, whether it was himself or a few good teammates, there was no better choice.

Hearing this, Gao Jianhan, Mu Yunyan and Zhuo Mengzhen frowned and remained silent without saying a word.

Seeing this, Liu Yu didn't urge her to go too far. This time, she just brought the three of them out to see the actual situation and let them be realistic.

"I hope these "good teammates" of mine will make the right choice."

Liu Yu flashed this thought.

The night was dark, and after some calculation, it was time for the third-order Firefinch to appear again. He turned his head and continued to look in the direction of the dead volcano.

"Hey~!"

Sure enough, not long after, there was a clear sound from a distance, and a red light quickly came from the north.

It was that Tier [-] Flamingo, which was still holding the iron cage in its mouth, and there were still many ragged human monks in the cage.

These monks were blind, and there were bloodstains under the torn clothes. Some even lacked arms and legs, and there were signs of being bitten on the wounds.

It seems that these monks have suffered inhuman torture and have lost all hope. Their eyes are extremely dull, as if they have accepted the arrangement of fate.

After the Firebird appeared, demon cultivators appeared from several dead volcanoes, and their aura locked on the demon from afar, and they would not let it go until they showed their tokens.

"Hey~!"

There was another scream, and the fire bird looked at the demon cultivators contemptuously, and quickly left with the iron cage in its mouth, flapping its wings.

But before the monster flew far, it stopped suddenly, and let out a cry:
"The third princess?!"

"Huh?!" Liu Yu, who was eavesdropping secretly, understood the demonic words, and couldn't help turning his head to look into the distance.

The body is like a white crane, with dark red feathers, long tail feathers and a graceful and slender neck.

And the pupils are golden red, as if burning with flames, exuding the noble temperament of a born king!

It is a real fire phoenix!

Moreover, its cultivation base is astonishingly as high as the third rank, which is equivalent to the peak of Jindan!

"not good!"

The moment Liu Yu saw this fire phoenix, his heart trembled, and he was about to withdraw his prying consciousness and surround several people with the "wall of spiritual consciousness".

Just the next moment, he felt a gaze, and suddenly looked over.

A strong sense of crisis spread all over his body in an instant, and Liu Yu suddenly felt a sense of horror!
