Above the bushes and thorns, Yan Qingchen and the other five people were all suspended there. Their feet were only a few feet away from the bushes and thorns below.
They walked all the way, but never allowed themselves to be high in the sky, so as not to be easily discovered.
Yan Qingchen certainly had strong confidence in his own concealment method, but the other four were not good at it. They definitely couldn't hide it from the spiritual consciousness of the monk.
But overall, their luck was really good. Even if they met some monks on the way, they still arrived here quietly and without too many twists and turns.
"Junior Brother Yan, is this the place you are talking about? Although this place seems secretive, the ancient inheritance palace has been opened from generation to generation. Just for disciples like ours, how many people have entered it?
Moreover, among the disciples who can enter the Ancient Palace of Inheritance, there are too many wonderful and beautiful people in the sect, and there are even many who have the opportunity just by luck. Could it be that no one has discovered this place?
If Junior Brother Yan wants such a reason to explain it to us, then he is a bit deceiving himself and others!"
A middle-aged monk with a long beard under his chin asked with some confusion after releasing his spiritual consciousness to explore his feet.
This person was one of the two people Yan Qingchen had only recruited in the past few years after he entered the elite disciple ranks.
Yan Qingchen asked them if they could also enter the ancient inheritance palace, and then helped him do something in a remote place outside the palace.
The two of them had entered the Ancient Heritage Palace before, and they had carefully explored the area outside the Ancient Palace, but they lost interest after only about half a month.
Looking for indirect inheritance outside the ancient palace is a waste of time in their opinion. The things that 90% of the monks end up getting after going out are not of much value.
Wherever you can stay in an ancient palace, it will be more meaningful!
Therefore, after Yan Qingchen made the appointment, they also asked about the reason, but Yan Qingchen said that he would explain it to them when he got to the place.
In this regard, the two of them also knew in their hearts that before they entered with the other party, the other party would most likely not reveal their true purpose.
If this kind of thing were put into treasure hunting in other places, he would not agree to it, but in the ancient inheritance palace, even elite disciples who have never entered may still find out some information.
Although it is possible to encounter a Void Refining cultivator, the chance is still much smaller, so it is 70% to 80% safe.
So after the two of them thought about it again, they agreed on their conditions with Yan Qingchen and agreed.
Neither of them has been to the place they are visiting now, but although it is remote, it is not too secluded.
After scanning the area below with their spiritual consciousness, they still felt that this place was 10% likely to have been visited by disciples, because they could still see some man-made traces.
Moreover, they had just explored and found no strange phenomena below. So where did Yan Qingchen's talk about asking them to help to break a restriction come from?
They don't think that their abilities are better than those of the disciples from generation to generation. Among the elite disciples of this generation, they are only at the middle level.
They themselves know very well what kind of virtue the monks have. If there were formation restrictions here, those disciples with excellent cultivation would have many more methods than themselves and would have discovered it long ago.
And the more indestructible the formation is, the more people will come to it. How can I wait until now to come here to hunt for treasures?
After the bearded middle-aged monk asked, the others also looked at Yan Qingchen, and they also felt that this was the truth.
Even Liu Siyu was a little unsure, but she still believed in Yan Qingchen more.
"Brothers, please be patient. I just said we were coming here, but I didn't say that the place is down there?
And if it can be found easily, then I will have to pay such a high price. What should I ask you to do?
That place was discovered accidentally by the master, and of course it was very hidden. If you asked him to actually search for it, nine times out of ten, he would not be able to find it.
After research, Master can determine that certain means are required to enter.
Later, after he came two more times, he found that the formation still existed, but he still couldn't open it. After leaving the sect, he never had time to come back.
Therefore, now I have come here again, and after you follow me and see the specific situation, you will know that what Yan said is true."
Yan Qingchen spoke politely with a smile on his face, but at this moment in his heart, he heard the other party's constant questioning and was already sneering at these people.
"From Junior Brother Yan's tone, it sounds like he can identify that place and won't be discovered by others again?
It's not that we don't believe it, but the time when Master ordered the investigation happened a long time ago, and who can guarantee that others will not have that chance?"
After several people listened, except for Liu Siyu who was still using his spiritual sense to detect the bottom, the others still didn't believe it.
Basically, they all know the origin of Yan Qingchen. His master was originally a disciple of Huang Qigu, but he later chose to leave the sect for a romantic relationship.
As for that person's name, they actually checked it and confirmed that it was not false. However, after the person left the sect, the information was completely lost.
However, they are not three-year-old children, and the fact that the other party is being paid heavily by Xu Yun makes people even more suspicious of his true purpose. Of course, they must investigate what Yan Qingchen said.
After further verification, these people believed at least 70% of them, and then they agreed to Yan Qingchen's invitation.
The main reason was that the conditions given by the other party were not too harsh. After some haggling, the reward really made a few people excited!
Yan Qingchen promised that if there were no treasures inside after opening the formation restriction, then they could still get half of what Yan Qingchen promised as long as they helped in the process.
If there really are treasures inside, they also have the right to use the things Yan Qingchen promised in exchange for some of the treasures inside.
But if the formation restriction that Yan Qingchen mentioned no longer exists, then they can just use the deposit of spiritual stones before entering this time.
"We'll find out if we go down and take a look. Anyway, we have already said that under various conditions, Yan will not break his promise.
It's just... after the senior brothers go down, and before I say anything, don't let anyone take random actions. If something goes wrong because of one person, I don't think anyone else will agree!
After all, this is a place passed down from ancient times. As long as it is an unopened place, the dangers there are enough to kill us easily.
Of course I believe in your strength, but when I say these words, it is precisely because everyone here talks about safety, so I will inevitably show contempt, and accidents may occur as a result."
After Yan Qingchen said this, he no longer hesitated, and the magic power on his body fluctuated instantly.
There were no other monks around at this time. Just when they entered, Yan Qingchen had just finished speaking and he was already pointing down with one hand.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from his fingertips, in the direction of the black bushes and thorns below.
The next moment, bursts of slight crackling sounds were heard, just like the popping sounds made when burning wood.
Then, this sound went all the way down and quickly extended toward the ground. After just a few breaths, there was no more sound.
Under their feet, a round hole about one foot long appeared. Below it was a dark area, with streaks of icy cold air rushing up.
"Walk!"
Yan Qingchen said one word, and his body turned into a blurry figure before falling straight into the round hole below.
At the same time, a dark green talisman appeared outside his body, firmly protecting him in the middle.
In just the blink of an eye, Yan Qingchen turned into a wisp of smoke and merged into the darkness in the small cave below.
The moment after Yan Qingchen fell, Liu Siyu didn't hesitate at all. The defensive light shield on his body was hit at the same time, and he fell down instantly!
The remaining three people looked at each other, and their consciousnesses were directed downwards at the same time, where two figures were falling one after another, rapidly continuing to fall.
After seeing that there was no problem with the two of them, they also fell into the round hole below...
After the figures of several people disappeared completely, the world here once again returned to the tranquility it had before, with only the dark clouds in the sky slowly drifting into the distance.
Although there was no aura fluctuation, Li Yan was already floating above the bushes and thorns like a ghost.
But he still used his "Stealth Night Hidden" technique with all his strength. Now that he had the guarding wing, he no longer needed to consume more mana to run the "Tide Ebb" technique.
At this time, Li Yan had become completely transparent, and his whole person was invisible in the air.
He slowly poked his consciousness out, and then quietly reached the bushes below, and then spread away...
At this time, the round hole that had been opened by the magic had disappeared, and everything had returned to normal.
Soon, Li Yan knew the situation below. The position he was standing at this time was already above an abyss. This abyss was very difficult to be discovered.
The thorns here are so lush that their roots are all intertwined together, layer upon layer, as dense as a net, and the thickness alone is several miles apart.
And the abyss was just under the thick bushes and thorns, and it only appeared after continuing downward for about seven or eight miles.
If a mortal comes here, as long as he is not afraid of being stabbed all over by the sharp thorns of those shrubs, he will not fall into the abyss below even if he runs and jumps freely on it.
It was pitch black below, and Li Yan's consciousness only penetrated a few dozen miles before he sensed the aura fluctuations below.
Those should be the three people who entered last. They were falling at this time and were sending out body-protecting mana fluctuations.
Li Yan believed that with the cultivation of those three people, they would definitely not be able to discover his spiritual consciousness, but he still withdrew his spiritual consciousness immediately.
"A place with formation restrictions needs to be opened by gathering these talents. It turns out that Yan Qingchen did not enter Huangqi Valley to practice alchemy.
Listening to what they just said, Yan Qingchen's master was once a disciple of Huang Qi Valley, and he found an inaccessible place in the abyss below...
But...but this person's words may not be credible. Not only did he hide his true cultivation level, but he also gathered a group of people during the internal selection..."
Li Yan thought about what happened during the internal election. This Yan Qingchen had been planning this matter, and he was often surrounded by other monks.
But these people around him were all found from Huangqi Valley!
The feeling Yan Qingchen gave him was not very good!
Every time Li Yan saw the gentle and elegant expression of the other party, he would feel a sense of extreme indifference under the gentle face of the other party.
This is a feeling. It is Li Yan's judgment of others based on his own experience. Li Yan believes in his feeling.
He felt that Yan Qingchen's character might be two extremely different things from the kindness shown on the surface.
Li Yan noticed the other party's indifference from his own induction, and also detected a very familiar smell of blood.
This should be the coldness quietly contained in the bones of a person after killing many people.
Although the other party concealed it very well, Li Yan felt the familiar smell from Yan Qingchen's body when he saw him for the first time.
Since an unknown place appeared here, Li Yan certainly felt that this tracking was very valuable, and he couldn't give it up.
He has been wandering around here for so many days. It is impossible for him to gain any big gains from places that monks can easily reach. What he needs is unknown areas.
Li Yan's body swayed and he also fell into the bushes and thorns below. He did not know how to use magic to prop up the bushes and thorns below.
In that case, if Yan Qingchen is still paying attention to the situation above him, then just a little light falling from above will easily let the other party know that someone above him has also entered the abyss.
However, this situation could not help Li Yan. The area below was not restricted by a formation, nor was it a solid wall, but a bush and thorns with countless intertwined pores.
Li Yan's "Sneaking and Hiding at Night" has already been able to turn into wind when encountering wind and water when meeting water. He only needs to turn into wisps of light smoke under the spell, and then he can directly enter the bottom through those holes.
In just a few breaths, Li Yan broke through the bushes and thorns that were several miles thick. His consciousness swept around and saw a deep, dark hole more than fifty miles wide.
During Li Yan's rapid fall, he discovered that the further down he went, the surrounding space continued to widen.
As Li Yan deliberately accelerated his fall, not long after, he sensed the faint fluctuations of mana coming from below.
At this moment, he was about three hundred miles away from the places where the mana fluctuated. Li Yan immediately controlled his speed.
That Yan Qingchen fell first, so above his head, there were the mana fluctuations of the other four people, which acted as a good shielding barrier.
After Li Yan calmed down after the previous shock, he had concluded that Yan Qingchen's consciousness could not surpass his own, even though he had been following him for so many days.
Then, he would have the confidence to keep an eye on the opponent...
Time just passed quickly in the darkness, and after about half a stick of incense had passed, Li Yan's falling figure suddenly floated quietly in mid-air.
At this moment, the mana fluctuations below also stopped suddenly a moment ago. Li Yan did not detect Yan Qingchen's position further down, but just hovered at the edge of the heads of the people behind him.
He has not figured out Yan Qingchen's methods and strength yet. Of course, he is following him, so he must remain absolutely cautious and stay away from that person as much as possible.
"Is this the bottom of the abyss?"
Li Yan thought in his heart.
Just a few breaths later, he vaguely felt the mana fluctuations. After quickly sinking for a certain distance, they suddenly turned and flew away in a horizontal direction.
"They were transmitting messages to each other just now, and then the people above caught up with Liu Siyu, and now they have changed their direction..."
Li Yan was still suspended motionless. When his consciousness sensed the aura that might be Liu Siyu's, he immediately stopped, but those people had already changed direction.
It wasn't until those mana fluctuations became weaker and weaker and reached the edge of his spiritual consciousness that Li Yan fell down again like a ghost and chased after him.
