Five Immortals Gate

Thoughts raced through Li Yan's mind, plans constantly appearing and then quickly vanishing…

As time rapidly passed, at a certain moment, Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, he had already thought of a plan.

The probability of success for this plan should be quite high, but it is extremely risky!

… … … …

When Yuan Zhen woke up, he felt refreshed. He had slept soundly, for several days, which completely swept away all his fatigue.

Soon he got up and came to the courtyard. It was already midnight, and the starry sky flickered up and down in the distant sky, making people feel refreshed at a glance.

Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, and then he planned to enter the cultivation room. Next, he could take the "Silkworm Eye Pill" to cultivate and improve his cultivation.

He estimated that if he could refine these six pills, the power of his "Sacred Flame Eye" should be increased by about 20%. This would make it easier to see through the loopholes in the enemy's spells.

At that time, even if he encounters a late-stage Integration cultivator, he will still have a certain chance to severely injure him, and even kill him.

However, the probability of actually killing him is not very high. It requires specific timing and location, and he must grasp the most appropriate opportunity.

Just as Yuan Zhen was about to enter the cultivation room, his body suddenly stopped in place, and then he turned to look in the direction of the courtyard gate.

“Could it be that news is being sent here?”

In his perception, a ray of light was flying towards him quickly. Not just anyone could come here. At the very least, it had to be an Elder of the Void Refinement realm within the sect.

Over the years, some people had come to his place a few times. As the strongest person guarding the sect today, Yuan Zhen could not completely seclude himself.

Therefore, he left a wisp of his divine sense outside. Those few times, he sent disciples in several directions to send back some inquired information.

He had read them all, and there was not much useful information. Often, they were just suspected situations. However, those disciples would send the news back to the sect first if they found such a person.

And this was Zhu Hongyi's original request. After that, those disciples would continue to track down. However, 99% of the time, there would be no follow-up news… …

Until a few years ago, three teams had returned to the sect one after another. They had gained very little, and if they continued to extend their investigation in that direction, the resources they brought would not be enough.

The Cangxuan Realm is too vast. In addition to returning to replenish resources, they also need to further listen to the arrangements of the Supreme Elder. Yuan Zhen asked them to wait in the sect.

He also passed the news to his masters, to see if they had any gains in the lower realm. If any new clues could be sent back, he would be able to arrange for these disciples to continue searching in a targeted manner.

Currently, there is still one team outside, but no news has been sent back later, and they are still continuing to inquire about news outside.

Because the Cangxuan Realm is too large, the four teams are also investigating in several directions. Some directions are remote, while others are where cultivators gather.

Therefore, even if they investigate the same distance, the final time used by the four teams cannot be determined at all… …

Yuan Zhen felt that something might have happened to the team that had not returned for a long time. Although there was a Void Refinement realm cultivator leading the team, there were only five or six people in their team, and the rest were all Transformation God realm cultivators.

Such a team seems to be very strong, but it is still very likely that unforeseen dangers will occur. This is the Immortal Spirit Realm with many cultivators and strong people flying all over the sky.

If you encounter an old monster-level strong person with a strange personality, it is possible that they will have murderous intentions because of a wrong look.

Yuan Zhen was already considering whether to send someone out to look for them, but because there was only a general direction, it was by no means easy to find a few people.

On the other hand, he was also waiting for his master's reply, so that he could make clear arrangements, so this matter has not been done for the time being… …

Yuan Zhen sensed that the person was approaching quickly. His first thought was that news had been sent, and he couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

“Did the last team of disciples send back clues, or did Zhu Daoyou and the others have news to pass back?”

A few days ago, he was still calculating the date, and he figured that Zhu Hongyi should be sending news back. It was a bit of a coincidence that someone came today.

“Disciple seeks to see Uncle-Master Yuan!”

Just as Yuan Zhen was thinking, a woman's voice came from outside the door.

“Come in!”

Yuan Zhen's voice immediately came out, and then the courtyard door quietly opened silently.

The person who came was a beautiful woman, about thirty years old, giving people the feeling that she was endlessly charming and at her most flavorful. She was a Void Refinement realm Elder who stayed behind in the sect.

Just as the door opened, the beautiful woman floated in. Seeing Yuan Zhen standing in the courtyard, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, and immediately opened her mouth.

“Uncle-Master Yuan, a major event has occurred in Xiqi Fang City… … ”

The beautiful woman's words stunned Yuan Zhen, who was still waiting for the other party to take out the jade slip.

He had never thought that the person who came would say such a thing. The sect has been safe and sound for many years, and no one would have the guts to come here and beard the tiger.

“… … Elder Lin and Elder Zhang, who were guarding there, were sneaked into and attacked, resulting in one death and one injury!”

The beautiful woman's words kept coming, but what she said later made Yuan Zhen's mind roar. A Void Refinement cultivator from the sect had died?

Even in first-rate forces, Void Refinement cultivators are highly respected and important figures. It's difficult for cultivators to form a Nascent Soul, and even more difficult to transform into a God.

And the advancement after the Transformation of God is almost like sand grains leaking from the eye of a needle; there are simply not many. Any Void Refinement cultivator within the sect is the result of a massive amount of resources being poured into them.

"What did you say? Someone ambushed the stationed cultivator at Xiqi Market?"

"Yes, but Elder Lin, despite being seriously injured, still managed to send out a warning. Elder Hong and I immediately went to investigate after receiving the message.

She quickly narrated the situation to Yuan Zhen, explaining that three people, using some unknown method, had secretly infiltrated the residence of their stationed cultivator at Xiqi Market without making a sound.

Then, because the two stationed cultivators were in separate rooms, the three adopted a method of encircling and ambushing one person at a time. First, Elder Zhang died, and then they sneaked into Elder Lin's room to ambush him.

However, Elder Lin's cultivation was even more profound. At the moment before the three attacked, he reacted hastily, and therefore was not killed by the opponent in one blow.

This allowed Elder Lin to have the opportunity to send out a warning, which could directly reach the sect. This was also a contingency plan left by "Luogu City."

Therefore, after receiving the message, the beautiful woman and another elder did not hesitate and immediately teleported over!

The reason the warning there was so fast was related to an incident many years ago when someone killed the disciple guarding the teleportation array in the market.

At that time, the stationed cultivator there failed to capture the opponent, so "Luogu City" specially established a teleportation warning system in the two rooms of the rotating stationed cultivators at a great cost.

That kind of warning is always in an activated state. As long as the divine sense directly collides with the restriction, it can immediately activate the formation.

This is to ensure that reinforcements from the sect can arrive quickly in the shortest possible time, and the crisis that allows the stationed cultivator to be unable to resist and send out a warning must be imminent!

However, the true meaning of this is actually only known to Zhu Hongyi, Yan He, and Yuan Zhen, as they were afraid that the Five Immortals Sect disciples would come to retaliate later.

The other party may not dare to directly find "Luogu City", but they can find Xiqi Market, after all, their side really wanted to capture people, and it's false to say that the other party doesn't want to retaliate.

It's just that after that incident happened, the teleportation warning array was built, but it has never been used once since then.

"Three people? What is their cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhen's heart sank sharply. He immediately thought of a sect—the Five Immortals Sect. Could it be that their revenge has really come?

Xiqi Market has actually been attacked more than once, but in the past, they were all aimed at destroying the market, but this time they actually wanted to directly kill the stationed cultivator. The other party's purpose is very simple and clear.

Such a thing has never happened before. It's no longer a roundabout way to deal with "Luogu City", but thinking of directly starting a war with "Luogu City".

Especially since the larger incidents that happened in Xiqi Market in the past have already been resolved, and the most recent incident to this one was the one caused by Amuer and the others last time.

Only this major event has not yet been resolved, so Yuan Zhen immediately associated it with a certain possibility.

The revenge they have been waiting for has come. The other party's methods to kill two Void Refinement cultivators are indeed extremely ruthless. This kind of loss is not something "Luogu City" can bear.

They are just a second-rate sect, and Void Refinement cultivators are the most important force. Even the death of one Void Refinement cultivator will greatly weaken the sect's strength.

If the other party succeeds, then two strong individuals will fall at once, and the overall strength of "Luogu City" will instantly decline.

"The three people's cultivation should all be in the Void Refinement realm. There was no sign of the other party's ambush at all. Elder Lin didn't even hear the movement from Elder Zhang's side.

By the time he sensed something was wrong, he only had time to send out a divine sense warning, and he was already injured and could only desperately defend himself.

And after the other party saw him activate the teleportation array, they also retreated very decisively, leaving almost without stopping for even a breath!

Afterwards, the three people broke out from the market entrance. By the time Elder Hong and I arrived, the other party had already disappeared. Judging by their methods, they were very experienced and did not leave any traceable traces!"

"Go, I'll go take a look!"

Yuan Zhen quickly understood the situation. He didn't hesitate any longer. Before his voice faded, he wrapped the beautiful woman in his sleeve and disappeared from the spot.

… … … …

Near the teleportation grand array of Xiqi Market, it has already turned into a ruin. At this time, even the teleportation arrays not far away have all stopped teleporting.

The entire market is filled with sword intent, and a large number of "Luogu City" patrolling disciples have appeared here.

Each of them has a solemn expression, quickly shuttling through the streets, and teams of sword cultivators are flying everywhere in the air.
