The teleportation circle of Linglong Palace was activated, and the huge power of space enveloped Liang Yan.
A dazzling white light filled the surroundings, followed by a change in space, and the stars moved around. During this period, it seemed to have traveled through the endless void, and seemed to have crossed countless seas of stars.
I don't know how long it took, but just when Liang Yan felt dizzy, the surrounding scenery suddenly stopped changing. A crack appeared in the void in front of him, and Liang Yan fell from that crack.
As the soles of my feet are stepped firmly, the dizzy feeling gradually dissipates.
Liang Yan calmed down and looked around, only to see that he was in a dark and damp cave, with a huge teleportation circle under his feet.
This teleportation circle is different from the one in Linglong Palace. It is covered with dust and looks very shabby. Apparently no one has taken care of it for a long time.
"From the three southern cities of Antarctic Fairy Continent to Kunwu Mountain in the far west, the distance traveled this time is too far."
Liang Yan sighed in his heart, then shook his head, expelling the last trace of discomfort from his mind.
He walked down from the teleportation circle, looked around, and found that although the cave had some defensive restrictions, most of them were dilapidated and could not stop anyone at all.
"It seems that the monks in Kunwu City have abandoned this teleportation circle, right?"
Liang Yan was observing the surroundings of the cave carefully when he suddenly frowned and looked towards the entrance of the cave.
Just listen to the roaring sound outside the cave, and a moment later, three rays of light fell from the sky and landed near the entrance of the cave at the same time.
"Which fellow Taoist is here?"
Before anyone walked in, a cheerful voice came in first.
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and did not answer, but stared at the entrance of the cave.
Not long after, three figures walked into the cave at the same time.
The first person was wearing a soap robe, with white hair and a childlike face, and his cultivation had reached the middle stage of Tongxuan. Behind him were two more people, one was a strong man with disheveled hair, and the other was a beautiful woman in green clothes, both of whom were slightly inferior in cultivation.
Even though they are all in the early stage of Tongxuan.
"Who are you?"
Liang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the three of them, and said calmly.
He did not answer the previous question, but asked directly. Unexpectedly, the three people were not angry at all, but more polite.
The white-haired old man smiled and said: "I'm Wan Hai, behind me are my tribesmen Wan Jinglong and Wan Ling'er. I don't know what you call me, why do you use the teleportation circle to enter our Kunshan domain?"
"Wan Hai?"
Liang Yan raised his brows, and he suddenly remembered that before setting off, Ning Xia had reminded him that the Kunshan Region was not as densely populated with sects and forces as the Wushuang Region. In the entire Kunshan Region, except for Kunwu City, there were only four major cultivators left.
family.
These four major families are Bai, Tong, Kong, and Wan. They each guard a border of Kunshan Domain and are considered to be the direct forces of Kunwu City.
The three people in front of me all have the surname Wan, and their cultivation levels are not low. Could it be that they are the Wan family among the four major families?
Liang Yan thought of this, put away his indifferent attitude, and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a monk of the Wan family. He lives in Liang Zhidao and comes from Wushuang City. Although he has lived in the south for a long time, he has heard of the name of the Wan family and has admired him for a long time!"
When he first came to Kunshan Territory, he didn't want to cause trouble. This Wan family was obviously a cultivator force like local snakes. Liang Yan would not offend easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Liang Zhidao"
The three members of the Wan family looked at each other and saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.
In the end, Wan Hai took a step forward, raised his hand to Liang Yan and said with a smile: "Kunshan Territory and Wushuang Territory are far apart. Opening the teleportation circle requires a huge amount of resources. As far as I know, the entire Wushuang City is qualified to use this teleportation circle.
Apart from the city lord Linghu Bai, there are only five palace lords. I wonder which palace you are the lord of?"
Liang Yan didn't expect that he would say this. He was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Fellow Taoist Wan is joking. Liang is not the master of the Tongxuan Realm, how can he be the master of a palace? This time he is entrusted to our Bihai Palace.
The Palace Master ordered me to look for a spiritual object in the area west of Kunshan Domain. Because of the tight time and the long distance, I made an exception and helped me open the teleportation circle."
"I see!"
The three members of the Wan family nodded at the same time, showing expressions of deep approval. Apparently they all felt that Liang Yan was definitely not the master of the first palace given his cultivation level, and the reason why they asked just now was just a test.
Regarding Liang Yan's answer, although it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false, it is at least reasonable and there is no thorn in it.
"It turns out to be the envoy of the Palace Master of Bihai Palace, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Wan Hai saluted Liang Yan and his tone became more polite.
"Wan Taoist friends are so polite." Liang Yan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Liang is here under orders this time. The mission is urgent. In which direction is Suixu Mountain located?"
Although he had read the map before coming, that map was the distribution map of the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent. As for the destination of his trip, Suixu Mountain, he only marked an approximate location on the map. After all, it involved the same Seven Mountains.
It is impossible to leak the detailed map of the twelve cities of Kunwu City.
"Suixu Mountain? It's already in ruins. What are you doing there, fellow Taoist?" Wan Hai asked in surprise.
"Haha, Liang is just following orders and can't say more. I hope fellow Taoist friends will understand." Liang Yan laughed and did not answer his question.
Wan Hai also seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and quickly apologized: "Fellow Daoist Liang, please forgive me, Wan was just curious for a moment, and no offense was intended."
When he said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "Suixu Mountain is not within the Kunshan area. From here, we have to go straight west, and the journey is very long. Fellow Taoists have come from a long way, so why not come to our Wanjia to stay for a while?
, we, the masters of the Ten Thousand Households, are hospitable and will entertain guests with fine wine.”
"Wan Taoist friends."
Liang Yan shook his head and interrupted him directly.
"I appreciate the kindness of Master Wan, but Liang's mission is urgent this time and he really doesn't have time to stay, so he won't chat in the house."
After hearing this, Wan Hai smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Liang, you don't know. The Kunshan region has been in turmoil recently, and our Wan family leader has ordered martial law. If you set out from here to the west, I'm afraid you will encounter no less than the Wan family's search team along the way.
Ten branches, if you don’t have the customs clearance documents from Master Wan, I’m afraid you won’t be able to pass these many hurdles.”
"Is there such a thing?"
Liang Yan frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face.
To be honest, the so-called numerous checkpoints along the way were not difficult for Liang Yan at all. With his magical powers, he was able to push through them all the way.
But this would inevitably lead to a killing spree, which would completely offend the Wan family of the four major families.
I came all the way here because I wanted to find a way to crack "Heavenly Jealousy", not to cause trouble. Suixu Mountain is near the Kunshan Domain. What if the method to crack "Heavenly Jealousy" has something to do with the Kunshan Domain?
, wouldn’t it be like shooting yourself in the foot?
There is still more than half a year left before the time agreed by the ghost-hand scholar. It only takes a few days to meet the head of the Wan family. As long as you get the customs clearance token, you can have an unobstructed journey. This is the skill of sharpening a knife without chopping firewood.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Liang Yan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Since the Wan family is so hospitable, then Liang will be disrespectful."
"Haha, we, the head of the Wan family, will definitely be very happy to see such a magnificent young man like Daoyou Liang."
Wan Hai smiled happily and moved aside.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, please."
"Fellow Taoist Wan, please!"
The two of them greeted each other politely and walked side by side outside the cave.
After exiting the cave, a gust of cold air hit my face!
Liang Yan looked up and saw a world of ice and snow, surrounded by snow and heavy snow flying in the air!
A penetrating cold air spread from the pores into the body. Although Liang Yan's cultivation level would not cause any damage, it still made him feel a chill.
"It is rumored that Kunwu City is located on the top of Kunshan, and Kunshan is located in the far west of the mainland. It is covered with ice and snow all year round. When I saw it today, it is indeed well-deserved!"
Liang Yan took a look at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but praise.
After hearing this, Wan Hai smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "How strange is this scenery? It can't be compared with the Cave Heaven Paradise to the south of you. Thinking back to those days. Alas, let's not mention it!"
When Liang Yan saw him sighing, he understood in his heart.
Regarding the history of Kunshan Domain, Liang Yan had already learned a lot from Ning Xia before setting off.
Tens of thousands of years ago, when there were no Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities, Kunwu Mountain was the ancestral home of cultivation in the entire Antarctic Immortal Continent, and was known as the Kunwu Holy Land.
Once every thousand years, the Taoist and Fruit Festival was held on Kunwu Mountain. At that time, it attracted thousands of sects to come to the court, and it was extraordinary!
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. With the evolution of history and the vicissitudes of life, Kunwu Mountain eventually declined. After that, saints from the Antarctic Fairy Continent appeared frequently and heroes came together, gradually evolving into the current situation.
The treasures on Kunwu Mountain have long been divided up by everyone, and even the cultivation forces on the mountain have been wiped out. Only the descendants of the Bai, Tong, Kong, and Wan families are still in the mountain.
on one's last legs.
If the situation continues like this, it will be a matter of time before the four major families are driven out of Kunwu Mountain. However, a handyman from the Bai family has extremely high talent and extremely good luck.
position, who was later Xiao Kunlun.
Xiao Kunlun was born to a concubine of the Bai family and a handyman. Although his status was low, he was not bullied in the Bai family.
On the contrary, when the head of the Bai family saw his talent, he spared no effort to cultivate him. Not only did he adopt him as his adopted son, he also poured the resources of the Bai family into him.
Later, Xiao Kunlun lived up to expectations and achieved sainthood, and the Bai family also became the head of the four major families.
However, saints are ruthless. After Xiao Kunlun became a saint, even the head of the Bai family no longer dared to regard himself as a foster father. Instead, he recognized him as his master and swore to serve him.
Under the leadership of Xiao Kunlun, Kunwu City gradually regained its reputation. After seeing how powerful he was, no one dared to come to Kunshan Territory to plunder. However, Kunshan Territory was plundered too much at the beginning, and many spiritual veins were destroyed, resulting in
The place lacks spiritual energy, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and it will never regain its former glory.
This is also the reason why, in the huge Kunshan region, there are only four major cultivation families and not a single sect force.
Knowing this period of history, Liang Yan also somewhat understood Wan Hai's sigh.
"Fellow Taoist Wan, although Kunshan Domain is barren, as far as I know, City Lord Xiao built Kunwu City on the top of Kunshan Mountain, used great supernatural powers to open up space, and transplanted spiritual veins. The monks of your four major families can also practice
It won’t be difficult, right?”
"Alas, fellow Taoist, I don't know something."
Wan Hai sighed and said: "City Lord Xiao has a weird temper. Although he built Kunwu City on the top of Kunshan Mountain, it is not as prosperous as your Wushuang City. He only allows his disciples and their relatives and friends to live in it. The other monks
, even members of our four major families are not allowed to enter without permission!"
"Is there such a thing?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan also showed surprise on his face.
He had heard from Ning Xia before that Xiao Kunlun was very lonely, but he didn't expect that he was so lonely that he didn't see anyone except his apprentice.
"Fellow Taoist Wan, actually I still have a question in my mind. Three hundred years ago, your City Lord Xiao and our City Lord Linghu had a big war, but our two cities didn't turn against each other because of it. Why?" Liang Yan
He asked thoughtfully.
After hearing this, Wan Hai shook his head and said: "Even our four major families don't know what the cause of the battle between the two city lords was. But after that battle, City Lord Xiao once sent a letter, asking us not to fight with Wushuang City.
As enemies, the relationship between the two cities has not changed."
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded, did not ask too much about this issue, and started chatting with Wan Hai instead.
Through testing along the way, Liang Yan learned that the four major families, Bai, Tong, Kong, and Wan, each guarded one side. The western part of the Kunshan Territory was under the jurisdiction of the Wan family, which of course also included the teleportation circle.
Not long ago, the cave where the teleportation array was located emitted white light that shot into the sky. Wan Hai, Wan Jinglong, and Wan Ling'er were the three people responsible for guarding the cave. Seeing the strange phenomenon in mid-air, they immediately rushed to the vicinity of the cave.
Just met Liang Yan who was teleported
And if Liang Yan wants to leave Kunshan from the west, he will be interrogated by Wanjia along the way.
Originally, this kind of interrogation was not strict, but not long ago, civil strife broke out in Kunshan Territory, and the Tong family and Kong family rebelled one after another. In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble in Kunshan Territory, the head of the Wan family issued a martial law order and searched within their jurisdiction.
All suspicious people.
It was precisely for this reason that Liang Yan needed a customs clearance document from the head of the Wan family to avoid conflict with the interrogating monks along the way.
A few people were chatting and flying away. In less than half a cup of tea, they saw a towering city appearing in the wind and snow in front of them.
Liang Yan raised his eyes and saw that the wall of the city was over a hundred feet high, and it was all purple and red. It stood in the vast ice and snow, like a blooming cold plum, proud and unyielding.
There is a plaque hung on the top of the city wall with three characters:
