Hundreds of people spoke in unison, almost simultaneously, and the sound resounded in all directions, making the leaves in the forest rustle.
The next moment, a young man walked out of the woods.
Liang Yan looked intently and saw this man wearing a green robe and a handsome appearance. He had a long flute on his waist and was walking slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Is he the messenger of Shennong?"
Liang Yan's heart moved. In order not to reveal his secret, he lowered his head slightly like everyone around him, but his eyes were secretly looking at the young man who came out of the forest.
The aura on this person's body is somewhat special. Although it doesn't look strong, it is a sign that he is condensing and not releasing. Once he moves his hands, the aura he unleashes will be far greater than it is now.
"Early stage of Tongxuan!"
The other party did not hide his level of cultivation. Liang Yan quickly saw the details of this person through the "Bodhi Mirror".
Just as Liang Yan was sizing him up secretly, the young man had already arrived in front of everyone, smiled slightly and said:
"You guys have been waiting for a long time."
This man was very elegant, without any airs, and he bowed his hands to everyone in return as he spoke.
"Haha, we have just arrived." Among the crowd, the leader of the Kamikaze Tribe said with a smile: "I just didn't expect that the Shennong envoy who came this time would be so young. It seems that Shennong Mountain has fresh blood. The envoy is young and promising, with a bright future.
It’s immeasurable!”
Facing the compliment from the leader of the Kamikaze Tribe, the young man just smiled indifferently.
"Chief Bai, thank you very much. This is Tang Zhen's first time out of the mountains, and he has been ordered to preside over the competition between the ten major tribes. Unexpectedly, he just arrived here and saw someone breaking the rules."
This last sentence was obviously meant for Situ Wen and Lan Li.
"Messenger calm down!"
The bodies of the two men trembled slightly. Even Lan Li, who had been carried away by anger just now, had completely calmed down and did not dare to be disrespectful in front of Tang Zhen.
"You're wrong. I'm not angry at all. But rules are rules. From ancient times to the present, why are the tribes so harmonious in Langhuan Continent? Because merits in Shennong Mountain must be rewarded, and deeds must be punished. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished.
It’s all treated equally.”
When Tang Zhen said this, he glanced at Situ Wen and Lan Li again, and said calmly: "You two, as the heads of a clan, do not set an example for the whole clan. Instead, you fight privately in public, and you use ruthless moves.
You want to take your opponent's life! If I hadn't arrived in time just now, I'm afraid you two would have been dead!"
By the end of the sentence, there was no trace of smile on Tang Zhen's face.
A faint chill enveloped an area of 100 feet in radius. The expressions of the people of the Tianshui Tribe and the Wuying Tribe changed slightly, and they felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Plop!
Situ Wen and Lan Li fell to their knees almost at the same time.
"I was so angry that I lost my mind. Please be kind to the envoy and let me go this time." Lan Li's face was filled with regret.
"Messenger, I was also impulsive. Now that I have realized my mistake, please be kind to me!" Situ Wen also begged for mercy.
Not only did the two of them beg for mercy, but the Tianshui tribe and the Wuying tribe behind them also knelt on the ground and begged Tang Zhen for mercy.
Tang Zhen looked around at everyone, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not speak.
Seeing this, the Clan Chief of the Crimson Fire Tribe on the side immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Messenger, although the Clan Chiefs of the Tianshui and Wuying Tribes violated the rules, fortunately they stopped in time and did not cause a big disaster. Please tell me.
For the sake of our ten major tribes, let’s spare them this time.”
"Yes, yes, our ten major tribes have always been law-abiding and respectful to Shennong Mountain. Please let the envoy spare them this time." The leader of the Dan Royal Clan also said with a smile.
Seeing so many people begging for mercy, Tang Zhen finally relaxed and sighed: "That's it. Since you two are the first offenders and there have been no serious consequences, I will not hold you accountable this time.
But you two must swear an oath not to kill each other from now on, nor to instigate conflicts between the Tianshui Tribe and the Wuying Tribe."
Situ Wen and Lan Li looked at each other. Although they were still dissatisfied, under Tang Zhen's pressure, the two people did not dare to continue the quarrel.
"I, Situ Wen, hereby swear that as long as Lan Li doesn't mess with me, I will never take the initiative, and our Shadowless Tribe will not have a war with the Tianshui Tribe." Situ Wen was the first to speak.
"I, Lan Li, also swear here that I will not fight against Situ Wen in the future." The fierce light in Lan Li's eyes gradually faded and he said expressionlessly.
"Okay, with the oaths of the two clan leaders, this matter ends here."
Tang Zhen nodded, then turned to look at the monks from other tribes, and said slowly: "All of you, please remember that the Langhuan tribes are united as one, and private fights and vendettas are prohibited. If you have any objections, you can report them to
Report to Shennong Mountain, and then Shennong's envoys will naturally come forward to uphold justice for you. If I find that someone is seeking revenge privately, or inciting others to kill him, huh!"
When Tang Zhen said this, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, scanning the crowd, giving people the illusion of being scratched with a knife.
"At that time, don't blame Tang for being ruthless!"
The cold words fell on everyone's ears, making the monks from the ten major tribes tremble slightly.
As for the clan leaders of each tribe, they all stepped forward and bowed: "Envoy Shennong, please rest assured that we will definitely restrain the tribesmen and will never violate the rules of Shennong Mountain!"
"good."
Tang Zhen nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Everyone must know the content of this tribal competition, which is to hunt in the Longding Mountain in front of you. There is no limit to the number of participants from each tribe, but they must be under four hundred years old."
Tang Zhen said, taking out an ancient mirror from his sleeve and hanging it above everyone's heads.
"The participating monks from the ten major tribes will pass under this ancient mirror one by one. If there are monks who have exceeded their age, the ancient mirror will glow red. I advise you not to take chances. Once I find someone cheating, he will
The tribe you belong to will be directly disqualified from participating."
After listening to Tang Zhen's words, the monks from the ten major tribes did not dare to neglect. These young heroes carefully selected by the clan leaders and high priests passed under his ancient mirror magic weapon one by one.
Liang Yan is naturally no exception.
When he walked under the ancient mirror, he clearly felt an invisible force shrouding himself, as if he wanted to explore his bone age.
Liang Yan remained calm and did not resist this force. He only used the Tianji Pearl to hide other secrets and allowed the ancient mirror to detect his bone age.
"Huh?"
When Liang Yan passed under the ancient mirror, the mirror did not light up with red light, but Tang Zhen seemed to feel something in his heart and looked at him.
The eyes of the Shennong envoy showed surprise for the first time.
"That's right, that's right! His bone age is only over two hundred years old, but he actually has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm!"
After being surprised, Tang Zhen showed appreciation again, looking at Liang Yan as if he were a rare treasure.
"Little brother, which tribe are you from? What's your name?" Tang Zhen spoke softly.
Liang Yan didn't expect that he would attract the attention of Shennong's envoy, so he could only stop, bow his hands to Tang Zhen, and said respectfully: "I'm Liang Zhidao, a monk from the Shiling Tribe!"
"Liang Zhidao, good, good!"
Tang Zhen said "good" twice, nodded and said: "I will observe in secret. If you can perform well in this competition, I can recommend you to Shennong Mountain."
"Shennong Mountain?!"
As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, everyone present was surprised.
You must know that in Langhuan Continent, Shennong Mountain is the existence that towers over the sky, and any messenger can be superior to hundreds of tribes.
Moreover, Shennong Mountain is rich in resources and has mysterious exercises. It is a holy land for cultivation in everyone's heart. Only the chiefs of major tribes can have the opportunity to go to Shennong Mountain to enlighten themselves. No one else is qualified to enter the mountain.
So when Tang Zhen extended an invitation to Liang Yan, everyone around him was envious.
Liang Yan originally planned to go to Shennong Mountain. When he heard Tang Zhen's invitation, he immediately followed the trend and said with a smile: "Shennong Mountain is a holy place in my heart. I have longed for it for a long time. Thanks to the envoy's favor, I will do my best!"
"Okay." Tang Zhen nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to your performance. Now you go to the foot of the mountain and wait."
Liang Yan naturally had no objection, nodded, turned around and walked towards the foot of Longding Mountain.
About a quarter of an hour later, everyone passed the test of the ancient mirror and gathered at the foot of Longding Mountain.
There is a teleportation circle at the foot of the mountain. The materials are still very new, and it was obviously built not long ago.
Tang Zhen counted the number of people and then said: "This is a short-distance small teleportation circle. The teleportation point is not certain. It may appear in various places in Longding Mountain, so your route up the mountain is also different.
"
In fact, everyone has known this rule for a long time and has no objections.
"Okay, I announce that the hunt in Longding Mountain has officially begun. You can enter the teleportation circle one by one."
Tang Zhen gave an order, and the monks from the ten major tribes began to walk into the teleportation circle one after another. With a flash of white light, these monks all disappeared.
Liang Yan observed carefully for a moment and determined that there was nothing fishy about the teleportation circle, then he followed the others and walked into the circle.
brush!
As the power of space surged in, Liang Yan felt a bubble appear around him, bringing him into the void passage, and the world around him was spinning.
This feeling only lasted for a few breaths. The next moment, the bubble burst and Liang Yan felt his feet land on the ground again.
The first thing he did after landing was to activate the Tianji Pearl to seal the "Great Ancient" aura in the storage ring.
Zheng Qiu had manipulated Dagu so that the followers of the Ye Ming Sect could use this puppet to locate themselves. Liang Yan did not want to be enemies with them yet, so he simply concealed his aura and "disappeared" from under their noses.
After activating the Tianji Pearl, Liang Yan calmed down and looked around.
I saw dense woods, luxuriant grass, full of spiritual energy and brilliant rays of light all around.
"It seems that this is Longding Mountain."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, this is an excellent cave paradise, no wonder there are many monsters cultivating here, but after all, these monsters are just prey of the human race, just like livestock raised in iron fences.
While I was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air behind me.
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and without turning around, slapped his backhand behind him.
boom!
A loud noise was heard, and something speeding behind him seemed to hit an iron plate, and Liang Yan was forced to the spot.
"snort!"
Liang Yan snorted coldly and turned his palm into a grasp. The place where he started was as cold as an iron rod. He grabbed it in his hand and threw it forward.
Boom!
The object behind him was thrown away and hit a towering tree, breaking the entire trunk.
What I saw was a giant ice-blue bull with only two legs under its body, its whole body shrouded in cold air, and a long horn on its head, like an ice pick.
The thing Liang Yan held just now was this horn.
The giant bull got up from the ground and grunted twice. It didn't seem to be too seriously injured, but there was a hint of vigilance in its eyes.
"Black Ice Demon Bull?"
Liang Yan looked at the monster in front of him, and a name came to his mind.
Before entering Longding Mountain, he had already asked Yi Yin and Lu Dayou for a lot of information. This Black Ice Demonic Bull is a very common monster in Longding Mountain. When it reaches adulthood, it will have the strength of the early stage of the Juyuan Realm, and
He has a bad temper and likes to attack humans actively.
"I encountered a monster just after entering the mountain. It seems I'm lucky."
Liang Yan said, stepping towards the Black Ice Demon Bull.
The demonic cow had a manic temperament. Although it suffered a loss at the hands of Liang Yan just now, it was not afraid. Instead, it aroused its ferocity.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the Black Ice Demon Bull kicked its hind legs and turned into an ice blue whirlwind, sweeping towards Liang Yan!
"hehe."
Liang Yan smiled slightly, golden light flowed in his right hand, ignoring the ice air around him, and stretched directly into the whirlwind.
The next moment, the surrounding icy wind gradually stopped, the frost receded, and Liang Yan grabbed the black ice demon bull by its horns, holding it in the air, kicking its hooves wildly, and howling incessantly.
"With this little ability, I should keep my temper a little lower."
Liang Yan grabbed the horn of the bull with one hand and tapped it lightly on the forehead with the other. He heard a muffled sound coming from the demon bull's body, and the joints all over its body were shattered like firecrackers.
In just a moment, the demon cow's head had already drooped down, and its two eyes as big as lanterns also lost their life at this moment.
Liang Yan killed the Black Ice Demonic Ox with one move, threw it to the ground, held the palm of his right hand like a knife, cut open the belly of the cow, and took out a blue ball the size of an egg.
Weighing the ball in his hand, Liang Yan shook his head slightly.
"No, the quality of this demon core is too poor."
He had promised Yi Yin that he would make the Stone Spirit Clan rank among the top three. If all the monsters he hunted along the way were such monsters, it would be difficult to complete the task.
For this competition, Liang Yan could not place his hopes on those teammates. He had to single-handedly change the ranking of the Stone Spirit Clan.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and cast a spell, and took out a purple gold incense burner and a dark red demon flower from the storage ring.
"Fortunately, I have a lot of savings, which will come in handy now."
