Chapter 4363

"Have you decided on a specific time?" The Second Elder asked.

"More or less, but not a specific time!

However, Xiong Yi and the others are all Nascent Soul cultivators. Although their disciples have disguised themselves and sneaked into the Thousand Demons Sacred Territory, they should be faster than me! "

Ying Po answered, "Therefore, we need to discuss this matter quickly. The longer we delay, the easier it is for Bi Qingyu to discover them."

"En, we understand!"

The First Elder nodded. He pondered for a moment before saying, "In this old man's opinion, the Patriarch's decision to work with the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range's disciples was the best decision. Now that several thousand of our people are here, it will be troublesome if we continue to work with them!"

Ying Po naturally knew about Great Elder's private thoughts, but he didn't blame him. He nodded and said, "Great Elder is right. I'll write a jade eye scroll and have a reliable disciple send it over. We'll just set a time to launch a surprise attack on Bi Qingyu!"

Hearing Ying Po's advice, the Great Elder was even more delighted. He echoed, "These disciples of the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range are all humans. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for them to move around in the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm. Patriarch, why don't you send a few dozen elite disciples to lead the way for them?"

"Very good!"

Ying Po nodded with a smile. Just as he was about to give the order, he noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "Where are the Seventh and Ninth Elders?"

"Oh …" A trace of embarrassment appeared on the First Elder's face as he answered, "This old man was afraid that there would be no one to deal with the matters in the Merchant Union, so I left them behind …"

Ying Po didn't mind. He was very clear in his heart. If a palm stretched out, five fingers wouldn't be the same. He couldn't expect the elders to think the same way as him.

In less than half a cup of tea's time, Ying Po had selected the people to contact the Fortune Gate's disciples. He also gave them the jade eye pendant he had written, and gave them some instructions before sending them away. Ying Po then discussed with the Elders on how to rescue Xiao Hua from the jaws of death.

Under the night sky, several dozen demonic beast clans set off again. They were heading towards a vast forest in the Thousand Demons Sacred Territory.

At this time, at the edge of the forest, there were already a few bird-type demons flapping their wings and circling in the sky. These demons were different from ordinary demons. They did not fly far away, only a few dozen miles away. Whenever there was any movement, they would leave and land to investigate carefully.

The moon fell and the stars were sparse. Dawn gradually appeared in the east. A few beast-like monsters slowly flew out from the mountain ridge in the distance. After these monsters flew out, they didn't directly fly forward. Instead, they scattered. After half a cup of tea's worth of time, another dozen or so human cultivators flew out from the mountain ridge. These human cultivators all held magic treasures in their hands and looked very cautious. After these human cultivators flew past, even more human cultivators flew out!

"Caw …" A few birds in the sky saw this and let out a few low cries. Except for one bird that was still circling in the sky, the others all rushed down and flew towards these human cultivators.

When the birds landed, a Nascent Soul cultivator in a Daoist robe flew out from the mountain ridge. This Nascent Soul cultivator had a red face, a pair of broom-like eyebrows, and a pair of leopard-shaped eyes. He looked very powerful without being angry.

Behind this Nascent Soul cultivator, there was a pigeon bird that was about two zhang in size following closely behind.

Wasn't this Nascent Soul cultivator Chang Yu, who was still a late-stage Gold Core cultivator when Xiao Hua left the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range?

Apart from being a lot younger, this Chang Yu's appearance didn't change much from before.

"Caw, caw …" Once the pigeon bird flew out, it immediately cawed and rushed into the sky, as if it wanted to meet up with the other birds in the distance.

As soon as the pigeon moved, Chang Yu was startled. In order to not attract the attention of the demonic beasts, he didn't dare to release his divine sense too much. Chang Yu was about to stop the pigeon, but when he saw the bird in the sky, a smile appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "I've wronged you during this period of time, I'll let you have some fun!"

As he spoke, Chang Yu had already released his divine sense. A moment later, another divine sense swept across the sea of trees in the distance. Seeing this, Chang Yu let out a long laugh and turned his head, saying, "Disciples, there are already Fortune Gate's disciples ahead. This place is already safe. Let's hurry over and meet up with your Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Xiong Yi!"

The dozens of Gold Core disciples in the surroundings were already pale. Their Daoist robes were tattered and bloodstained. It was obvious that they had encountered many demonic beasts and demonic beasts along the way.

When they heard Chang Yu's words, they were overjoyed. No longer hiding, they spurred their figures and flew into the distance.

Chang Yu wasn't in a hurry. He waited until the several thousand disciples had flown away before he turned into a streak of light and landed in the sea of trees.

Before he could land, he saw another cloud flying out from the forest. On that cloud was Xiao Hua's other disciple, His Highness Lan.

His Highness Lan was no different from when Xiao Hua left. Seeing Chang Yu fly away, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother Chang, you've worked hard!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Chang Yu didn't dare to be negligent. His figure appeared in the streak of light, and he bowed respectfully from afar. "Junior Brother is not tired. Junior Brother thanks Senior Brother for coming to greet me."

"You're welcome!" His Highness Lan helped Chang Yu up and said with a smile, "You and I are Senior Brother, why be so polite?"

"Yes, Senior Brother's teachings are right!" Chang Yu replied. His tone was as respectful as ever.

Although His Highness Lan and Chang Yu were both Xiao Hua's disciples, His Highness Lan was already a Nascent Soul disciple when he entered the Fortune Gate, while Chang Yu was only a late-stage Gold Core disciple. After Xiao Hua left, the Fortune Gate was led by Li Xiang, Xiong Yi, and Lan. The three of them were in charge of the Fortune Gate's affairs. Chang Yu later cultivated painstakingly and often received guidance from the three Nascent Soul Senior Brothers. Only then did he step into the Nascent Soul Realm.

In these two hundred years, the Fortune Gate was divided into three factions, just like Xiao Hua's plan. Chang Yu was the last to enter the Fortune Gate. Although he had also accepted disciples, most of them were below the Gold Core Realm. If he wanted to compete with the three Nascent Soul Senior Brothers, he was still too weak.

Most of the disciples he brought to the Thousand Demons Sacred Grounds were Li Xiang's disciples. His disciples were left behind in the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range.

As he spoke, Chang Yu looked around and asked curiously, "Where's Senior Brother Xiong Yi?

Why isn't he here yet? "

"Hehe, that's right!"

A trace of confusion appeared on His Highness Lan's face. "Previously, I received a message from a flying beast. I thought Senior Brother Xiong had arrived. Who knew that you would be one step ahead of me.

Senior Brother Xiong must have encountered some powerful demonic beast, right? "

"That's right!"

Chang Yu replied with lingering fear. "Previously, I always heard that the Thousand Demons Sacred Grounds was a demonic beast clan's sacred grounds, and it was definitely not a place that humans could enter.

However, after today's trip, I found out that those words were not false. In fact, there were some reservations.

Without a cultivation of fifth grade origin force, it's impossible to enter the Thousand Demons Sacred Grounds freely.

Up until now, I've lost more than forty percent of my disciples! "

"How can one achieve fifth grade origin force?" His Highness Lan was also worried. He replied, "One has to be at least a mid-sixth grade origin force to succeed!"

"Sixth grade origin force?" Chang Yu smiled bitterly. "That's the Spirit Severing Realm. I don't even dare to think about it!"

"That's right …" His Highness Lan turned to look at Bi Qingyu and said in a low voice, "The future of this trip is uncertain. Not to mention the Astral Projection Realm, we don't even know if we can step onto the Hidden Immortal Mainland again!"

"There are some paths that we can choose not to take, but there are some paths that … we have to take even though we know it's a dead end!"

Chang Yu narrowed his eyes and said resolutely, "Even if there's fear in your heart, let's toughen up!

Let our hearts be numb! "

"Junior Brother is right!"

His Highness Lan smiled and looked at the rising sun. "Sometimes, we have to make some choices. Although this decision is a little difficult …"

"I don't think this decision is difficult at all!

Master's kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain.

All these years, master hasn't returned to the mountain!

I didn't expect that he would be imprisoned by the Bi Qingyu Demon Clan! "

Chang Yu continued, "After hearing this news, I couldn't sleep at night. If we don't save master, I'll die in Bi Qingyu with master!"

"Senior Brother Xiong should be here by now, right?" His Highness Lan turned to another mountain ridge and asked with a frown.

"That's right. He should have arrived yesterday, right?" Chang Yu looked at the mountain ridge worriedly.

"He should have met with some danger!"

His Highness Lan seemed to have made a decision. He turned and said, "Junior Brother Chang, you rest here first. I'll bring a few disciples over to take a look …"

"I'll go too!" Chang Yu said without hesitation. "Although I've just stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, I can still be of help!"

"Junior Brother, you've just arrived. You should rest first!

Besides, if both of us go, who's going to keep watch here? "His Highness Lan didn't want Chang Yu to go.

Chang Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "Senior Brother's disciples can keep watch here!

I'll go with Senior Brother to welcome Senior Brother Xiong! "

"Alright!"

His Highness Lan nodded helplessly and led Chang Yu into the forest. After a while, two Nascent Soul cultivators led a dozen late-stage Golden Core disciples and flew toward a mountain ridge.

Past the mountain ridge was a dangerous place. The mountain ridge was full of cliffs. Not only was there no vegetation on the mountain, there weren't even complete rocks.

The river between the mountain ridge was also emitting a fishy smell. There were many whirlpools and white foam in the river water. Sharp stones were stepping out of the river surface. Not long after, there would be fish floating up from the bottom of the river with their bellies upside down.

Chang Yu's gaze swept over the place. His expression didn't change. He released his divine sense to look into the distance. He knew that it was because of this dangerous place that there were fewer Demonic Beasts. Xiong Yi had to bring thousands of disciples through this place safely.

After flying for another half a cup of tea, they didn't see Xiong Yi's figure. Similarly, they didn't see any Demonic Beasts. Chang Yu and the others appeared in a dark pool.

The surface of the pool was covered with a layer of strange algae, which was iron-black in color. Between the algae, there were lotus pot-like demonic herbs poking out of the pool. Some of the lotus pods were very small, only the size of a fist, while some were extremely large, at least a few feet long.

Some of these lotus pot-heads were blooming, while others were wrapped. There were many more.
