The fat cultivator frowned slightly. He and the thin and tall cultivator were both guards of the bridge. If either of them had an accident, it would attract Ancestor Lu's attention. If he hid it and didn't report it, he would be severely punished.However, the two of them had violated the rules and entered the bridge. If the plump cultivator had told the truth, he would have been severely punished as well.After thinking about it, the fat cultivator thought of an idea. He looked deeply at the bridge and muttered, "Anyway, you guys are dead. It's not too much to let you guys be the scapegoat."After saying that, the slightly fat cultivator quickly left the bridgehead.Not long after the fat cultivator left, Zhuowen brought Xiao Lang and the other two to the bridge.Zhuowen looked at the two cave mansions on the side of the bridge. His eyes revealed a contemplative look. He couldn't help but think of the thin and tall cultivator and the fat cultivator from before. It seemed that these cave mansions belonged to these two guys.As for the identity of these two guys, Zhuowen could completely guess. They must be guarding the bridge to prevent other dangerous creatures from the sea of time from invading.Zhuo Wen's guess was not wrong, but there was one thing he did not guess. The two cultivators guarding the bridge were indeed there to prevent the invasion of other dangerous creatures in the sea of time and space, but at the same time, they also had another duty, and that was to register the new challengers.However, of the two guards, one was killed by Sam and the other went to report to Ancestor Lu, so they naturally missed Zhuowen, the newcomer."Brother Xiao, do you know where your friend is?" Zhuowen turned to look at Xiao Lang and asked.Xiao Lang smiled and said, "Brother Zhuo, where is the jade talisman I gave you before?"Zhuowen took out the jade talisman from the spirit ring and handed it to Xiao Lang, "It's here.This thing doesn't seem to be a communication jade talisman, right? "Xiao Lang smiled and said, "This is indeed not a communication jade talisman, but a positioning jade talisman. This jade talisman contains my friend's aura. As long as the distance between the jade talisman and my friend is not more than a thousand li, this jade talisman can accurately locate my friend's aura.""Back then, when my friend left the first island, he left behind this jade talisman for me so that I can look for him when I enter the second island."As he spoke, Xiao Lang's right hand formed a sword and pointed at the jade talisman in his hand.With a 'swoosh' sound, the surface of the jade talisman emitted a gentle glow. After which, the jade talisman floated in the air, chose a certain direction and slowly flew off."Looks like my friend is still on the island. Let's follow him!"Xiao Lang's gaze shook. He immediately followed the jade talisman. Zhuowen and the rest naturally followed closely behind.This was a cliff path with rows upon rows of rock walls on both sides. Moreover, this island was covered in ice and snow all year round. As Zhuowen and the other three walked, the sky was still constantly snowing, and the path beneath their feet was covered in thick snow.The path was winding and complicated. The four of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before finally walking out of the path.What appeared in front of them was an extremely large valley. This valley was filled with birds, flowers, and trees. In the middle of the valley, a silver waterfall flowed down, looking spectacular.The scene in the valley was a sharp contrast to the scene of the island outside.In this valley that was like spring all year round, there were caves of different shapes and sizes.Zhuowen stood at the entrance with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. How could he not see that the reason why this valley was different was because there was some kind of restriction set up in this valley?The jade talisman stopped at the entrance of the valley. To be more precise, it was blocked outside the restriction."Brother Zhuo, there's a restriction here. What should we do?" Xiao Lang looked at Zhuowen and asked."Don't worry, I'll take care of this restriction!"As Zhuowen spoke, he waved his sleeve and summoned the beast bone array disc. At the same time, his right hand formed seals again and again, looking quite unfathomable.The restriction in the valley wasn't very strong. It was only a Level 0 Great Array. Moreover, it didn't have any defensive effect. There wasn't even a monitoring array inside. It was obvious that the purpose of the person who set up the array was only to improve the environment in the valley.Not long after, Zhuowen opened a small gap on the edge of the restriction, just enough for one person to pass through."Now it's done, let's go in!"Zhuowen smiled and took the lead to follow the jade talisman into the restriction.Although the valley was large, there weren't many cave dwellings inside. There were only about fifty to sixty of them, which meant that there were at least fifty to sixty cultivators in this valley.Although the number wasn't many, compared to the first island where Xiao Lang and the others were, this place was much more lively.Moreover, these cave dwellings were basically closed. It was obvious that most of the cultivators inside were in a state of seclusion.Whiz!The jade talisman instantly flew out and flew towards the cave dwellings in the center. Finally, it stopped in front of a cave dwelling that was shaped like a bamboo house.The instant the jade talisman stopped in front of the bamboo house, the restriction on the surface of the bamboo house was opened. A grey-clothed woman walked out from inside.This grey-clothed woman's figure was slightly bloated, and there were some freckles on her face. Although she wasn't ugly, she wasn't good-looking either. She could only be considered a very ordinary woman.The grey-clothed woman clearly intended to go out. However, when her gaze fell on the jade talisman in front of the door, she was immediately stunned.Immediately after, the grey-clothed woman turned her head and finally noticed Zhuowen and the other three.Of course, the grey-clothed woman's gaze was mostly on Xiao Lang and the other two. As for Zhuowen, it was her first time seeing him."Xiao Lang, Xiao Yin, and Xiao Fu, you're finally here!"The grey-clothed woman's eyes revealed a look of joy. She hurriedly stepped forward and sized up Xiao Lang and the other two. Moreover, she chatted with the three of them.After the four of them chatted for a while, Xiao Lang pointed at Zhuowen beside him and said, "Junior Sister Ruqing, this is Zhuowen. This time, the three of us were able to enter the second island thanks to Brother Zhuowen."The grey-clothed woman looked at Zhuowen in surprise. Soon after, she chuckled and revealed an indifferent expression. She casually said to Zhuowen, "Thank you for your help, Brother. Otherwise, I don't know when I would be able to see the three of them again."Zhuowen nodded and didn't say anything. He could tell from the grey-clothed woman's eyes that she didn't believe that he had brought Xiao Lang and the other two here.Xiao Lang felt a little awkward. Just as he was about to explain, Zhuowen's eyes indicated that he didn't need to say anything.Zhuo Wen's signal with his eyes was naturally seen by the gray-clothed woman. The gray-clothed woman took this signal as an embarrassing action of the white-clothed young man in front of her after his lie was seen through. She felt a little contempt in her heart.The grey-clothed woman's reaction was mainly due to the fact that Zhuowen's aura was too weak. It was only at the seventh level of the Illusory Sky Realm. This was also the reason why the grey-clothed woman had a preconceived notion that the white-clothed young man before her was definitely not strong enough.
