The commoner boy in front of her was naturally Liang Yan in disguise.
Five years have passed since the day he and Xiao Song went into seclusion.
In the past five years, they have not been practicing all the time. In fact, as early as the second year, Li Xiaosong had successfully broken through to the early stage of the Juyuan Realm.
The crimson auspicious cloud on her forehead appeared after the breakthrough. Although she didn't know what happened, she could feel that her ability to control flames was stronger than before.
After Li Xiaosong successfully broke through, Liang Yan continued to retreat for another year. After his cultivation had reached the peak of Juyuan Realm, he took her out of the foggy area.
When Liang Yan returned to the territory of the four major alliances, he did not rush back to the Flying Star Alliance immediately. Instead, he disguised himself as an ordinary monk and wandered among the alliances, and began to investigate the matter of "no return to hell".
Clues come.
The experience in the underground cave that day brought a huge shock to his heart.
What kind of secrets are hidden behind that blood-red door? For Liang Yan, who has always been searching for the truth about Hell, the temptation is too great.
He believed that among the four major alliances, he was definitely not the only one who knew this secret. This could be seen from Li Yan's magic weapon.
The bottom surface of the "Heavenly Dragon Divine Fire Pillar" is also engraved with the words "No return to hell". Liang Yan does not believe that this is just a coincidence.
Li Yan must also know about the existence of this door. At that time, he also lied that "Celestial Dragon Divine Fire Pillar" was the inheritance of his sect, which was obviously to cover up something. However, this person has died by his own sword, and now there is no way to ask questions.
Already.
Liang Yan was not discouraged because he had another clue, which was that the magic skills practiced by Meng Qibai and Tiemu Shan were very similar to the black shadow figure hidden in the Xuantian Fire.
The two must be related. The location of the underground valley is constantly changing. He must be more than one person who has been in front of that giant door, and they all seem to have benefited from it.
For example, Tiemushan and Meng Qibai obtained the magic power, Li Yan obtained the magic weapon, and he himself obtained the Xuantian Fire.
Liang Yan followed this clue and spent two years, but he finally found some clues.
Among the four major alliances, there seems to be an extremely low-key organization hidden called "Huangquan Road".
This organization has very few members, but it controls some of the core forces of the four major alliances. It has been operating secretly over the years, and its purpose is unknown.
The most important thing is that the members of "Huangquan Road" are more or less related to the giant red door. Although they usually deal with it in a very low-key manner, Liang Yan was able to figure out some clues whether he was calculating or not.
He followed his clues and finally came to the territory of the Blood Moon Alliance. It was here that Liang Yan met Linghu Sheng, who was also pursuing the matter like himself.
The Linghu Family is a family force in the Blood Moon Alliance. Although its overall strength is not as good as the top dozen forces, it is still quite prestigious in the Blood Moon Alliance.
Linghu Sheng is the eldest son of the Linghu family. Although he has never been to the underground valley, he has discovered some clues about the "Huangquan Road" through open and covert inspections over the years.
The members of this organization were hiding in the Blood Moon Alliance and must have some agenda, so Linghu Sheng personally took action and began to investigate the objects he suspected.
It was during this process that Linghu Sheng met Liang Yan by chance. The two had a similar affinity and hit it off like old friends. Although they met by chance, they could be considered friends.
Later, Linghu Sheng received a letter asking him to rush back to his home overnight. Liang Yan happened to have a clue to pursue at that time, so the two of them separated.
Before leaving, Linghu Sheng invited Liang Yan to visit his house in the future and promised to use the power of the Linghu family to help him investigate the details of "Huangquan Road". Liang Yan naturally agreed happily.
Unexpectedly, there would be unforeseen circumstances. When he finished handling the matters at hand and rushed to Linghu's house, he found that hundreds of people from the Linghu family had been massacred overnight!
After Liang Yan arrived, he killed several monks in black who were still cleaning up the scene, and also rescued Linghu Sheng, who was already dying.
However, Linghu Sheng was too seriously injured, and even he could not save himself. When he was dying, he told Liang Yan the whole story.
It turns out that the Linghu family has discovered some conspiracies of the "Huangquan Road" through covert and covert investigations over the years. The monks in this organization seem to intend to provoke a fight among the four major alliances.
Among the top ten Moon Lords of the Blood Moon Alliance, several are members of the "Yellow Spring Road".
The Linghu family compiled the collected evidence into a book and were preparing to send it to Blood Moon Mountain and hand it over to Nie Ziming, the leader of the Blood Moon Alliance.
Unexpectedly, just before departure, a large number of black-clad and masked monks sneaked into Linghu's home and massacred the family, which had more than a dozen Juyuan Realm monks in charge. All the evidence collected before was also burned.
Fortunately, the Linghu family tried their best to use the teleportation circle in the secret passage to send the three most talented children out.
These three children are the last trace of the Linghu family's blood.
When Linghu Sheng was on the verge of death, he hoped that Liang Yan could help him find these three children and escort them to Blood Moon Mountain.
Liang Yan was originally unwilling to agree to such a thing. He and Linghu Sheng were just casual acquaintances, but after all, Linghu Sheng was entrusted with an orphan on his deathbed, which made it difficult for him to refuse.
Then he thought about how he originally wanted to sneak into Blood Moon Mountain. If he could use the identities of the three children of the Linghu family to help him cover up his past, that would kill two birds with one stone.
After thinking about this clearly, Liang Yan nodded solemnly, saying that he would do his best to find the three children of the Linghu family and send them to Blood Moon Mountain.
Seeing Liang Yan nodding, Linghu Sheng also smiled miserably, and then closed his eyes. A young man from an aristocratic family who had a promising future just died.
The Linghu family was brutally wiped out, and the entire Blood Moon Alliance was shocked. Alliance leader Nie Ziming personally ordered that the top ten Moon Lords, Ling Yue Zun and Bai Yue Zun, come to investigate, but they ultimately returned without success.
And in the secret, there was another monk who did not belong to the Blood Moon Alliance and began to run around, looking for the three children of the Linghu family who had fled.
This person is Liang Yan.
He used the magic of "Tianjizhu" and "Yuanmudao" to transform into a commoner boy, and followed the clues left by Linghu Sheng to search for the three orphans who escaped that night.
This search lasted for a whole year. Liang Yan's footprints were all over the Blood Moon Alliance, and even visited the surrounding foggy areas. Finally, he found them at the Guhong Inn, and this was the scene before.
.
Faced with the question of the woman in yellow shirt, Liang Yan chuckled and said, "Of course I know who you are, your name is Linghu Yu, and the two people behind you are your brother Linghu Wenshi and your sister Linghu Qiuyue."
After hearing this, the woman in yellow shirt's face changed several times, and she subconsciously protected the brother and sister behind her, with a look of vigilance on her face.
"Who are you, your Excellency? The three of us, brother and sister, have been wandering around the world for a year. Even friends of the Linghu family in the past cannot know our whereabouts. Are you deliberately following us?"
"Not bad!" Liang Yan admitted openly.
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I was entrusted by someone to take you to Blood Moon Mountain. In fact, I have been following your footsteps for a year. I have to say, Liang is quite impressed.
Yours!"
"Admired?" Linghuyu frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"Hehe, those black-clothed monks are also secretly tracking you. From the Linghu family to the Blood Moon Mountain, they have their eyes and ears all over. It's just that these people have countless calculations, but they haven't counted the eldest lady of the Linghu family.
He didn't take the usual route, he didn't go directly to the Blood Moon Mountain, but followed the opposite route out of the Blood Moon Alliance and entered the foggy area." Liang Yan said with a funny look on his face.
To be honest, this Linghuyu is really a ruthless person.
You must know that the areas of the Four Alliances were cultivated by countless monks. Only here is suitable for monks to survive, and the foggy area is very dangerous. Generally, monks in the foundation building stage would not dare to go there alone, let alone that she only has the cultivation level in the early stage of foundation building.
, and also brought two younger siblings who are in the Qi refining stage.
In this year, the three Linghuyu siblings have suffered countless hardships in the foggy area, and how many times they have narrowly escaped death. If not for their strong perseverance and a heart of revenge, they would have survived.
I am afraid that I have already been buried in the foggy area.
But it was this decision that left the black-clothed monks who secretly searched for them behind. Even Liang Yan was tricked by her, so that it took a year of hard work to track them down before discovering their traces.
"I'm afraid the monks of 'Huangquan Road' never dreamed that you, a monk in the early stage of foundation building, would dare to break into the foggy area, and even wandered around in it for more than half a year before entering the Blood Moon Alliance again from another direction.
"Liang Yan said with some emotion.
"Haha, so what?" Linghuyu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Their eyes are all over the Blood Moon Alliance. I thought I could bypass their eyes and ears by entering here, but I didn't expect it.
It was eventually discovered."
"Don't worry, I have eliminated all the informants arranged by 'Huangquan Road' here. The dwarf in blue and his accomplices just now are already the last group of people." Liang Yan said lightly.
He said this lightly, but when it fell in Linghuyu's ears, he was extremely shocked.
"Did you really kill them all?" Linghuyu asked in disbelief: "Why do you want to help me?"
"It's nothing. It's just a matter of being entrusted by others and being loyal to others." Liang Yan shrugged.
Only at this moment did Linghu Yu completely believe him.
"My benefactor, I have offended you so much just now, please forgive me!"
As she said this, she was about to bow down, but Liang Yan raised her hand and gently lifted her up in the air.
"It doesn't matter. I know you are cautious. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to escape with your younger brothers and sisters for so long without being discovered." Liang Yan waved his hand casually and said, "From today on, I am your Linghu family member."
A worshiper will be responsible for escorting you to Blood Moon Mountain."
After hearing this, Linghu Yu frowned slightly, but she was relieved immediately.
Although she didn't know why Liang Yan wanted to forge his identity, the other party was very powerful and willing to escort her three siblings to Blood Moon Mountain, which was enough.
Maybe this person also has his own small thoughts, but in this crisis-ridden environment, he is the only support for the three siblings.
"Okay, our Linghu family happens to have a young priest named Zhou Yun." Linghuyu said, raising her hand a little and sending Zhou Yun's appearance away with her spiritual thoughts.
Liang Yan felt it for a moment, then nodded, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and countless green lights surrounded him. After a while, he transformed into a tall, thin, dark-skinned young man.
"Let's go!"
Liang Yan waved his sleeves, and a ray of green light rolled out, lifting the three Linghuyu siblings out of thin air, and finally landed on his mount that looked like an ox but not an ox, and looked like a horse but not a horse.
The beast snorted from its nostrils, seeming to be extremely dissatisfied, but still took steps forward and walked forward.
Blood Moon Mountain is located in the central area of the Blood Moon Alliance, and is the sphere of influence of the alliance leader Nie Ziming.
This place has been surrounded by a highly poisonous Yin Qi all year round. Monks below the Golden Core level will die immediately if they touch it. Even if they have the strength of the Golden Core stage, it is difficult to force their way in.
The only passage that can enter and leave Blood Moon Mountain is the teleportation circle built by the leader of the Blood Moon Alliance.
This huge teleportation circle is built in a pagoda, surrounded by hundreds of foundation-building monks and five Juyuan Realm monks. If it were normal times, except for the monks from Blood Moon Mountain and a very few people summoned by the alliance leader,
No other monks can use this teleportation circle.
However, there is a difference at this time, because there are less than three months before the Blood Moon Festival, and the only teleportation circle has been completely opened, allowing all parties who come to participate in the event to use it.
Unlike the Hundred Alliance Conference of the Flying Star Alliance, the Blood Moon Festival is held every twenty years, and the leaders of almost all forces in the Blood Moon Alliance will bring people to participate.
There is only one reason, and that is the battle of skills held by alliance leader Nie Ziming. The ranking will determine the resource allocation of the Blood Moon Alliance in the next twenty years.
Therefore, although there are still more than three months until the Blood Moon Festival is officially held, there are already many forces coming to teleport the magic circle at this moment.
On this day, a mount that looked like an ox but not an ox, and looked like a horse but not a horse came slowly. It carried four people. One person in the front was tall and thin with dark skin; a woman in the middle was wearing a yellow shirt and had a good appearance. As for the back
The other two are two young boys and girls who are still childish.
These people are the siblings Liang Yan and Linghuyu who have traveled all the way here.
Outside the pagoda of the teleportation circle, there is a group of monks from Blood Moon Mountain guarding the place. The leader is a middle-aged man, wearing a purple robe and a beard. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Juyuan Realm.
He saw Liang Yan and others riding horses from a distance, and asked loudly:
"Who do you have, do you have an invitation to the Blood Moon Gala?"
Before Liang Yan could reply, Linghu Yu behind him spoke first: "Uncle Han, you don't recognize me? I'm Yu'er!"
"Linghuyu?"
The man in purple had a look of shock on his face.
Thanks to: AllegrettoJ, Shuhaiqixia, and miconame for their rewards!
