"It was just a fluke!"

Chen Yun's eyes swept across Wang Tiangu lightly, and his slightly meaningful expression made people think deeply.

"Haha! The speed of those monks chasing me is really not very fast. With the help of the unique escape technique of my sect, I can easily get rid of the pursuers! How can I compare with the monks who control the windmill?"

Wang Tiangu answered with great confidence.

Hearing these remarks, Chen Yun felt secretly sarcastic in his heart. When he was about to open his mouth to refute again, his face suddenly changed drastically and he remained silent.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist You has also arrived here. It seems that our luck is really good. We have all arrived here safely. Before, I was worried whether we could still successfully break the ban if the power to break the ban suddenly decreased!"

Nanlong Hou looked up at the sky again and said with a look of satisfaction on his face.

When everyone heard the news, they couldn't help but smile.

If they were unable to obtain the treasure due to insufficient numbers, these people would undoubtedly feel extremely frustrated.

"Something is wrong! Fellow Daoist You seems to be being chased by others and looks quite embarrassed."

The old man in white shirt, who had been standing alone in silence, pointed out seriously at this moment.

When these words were spoken, Chen Yun and others were all shocked and turned to look.

On the distant skyline, there was indeed a white light rushing towards them, followed closely by two balls of green and red light.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the hill where Nanlong Hou and others were.

Nanlonghou's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"In my opinion, Fellow Daoist You seems to be in great trouble. Although there are only two mages dispatched at present, I suggest that you all join hands to fight together!"

The cultivator known as Nanlong Hou expressed his opinion decisively, and then his figure turned into a dazzling golden light and soared into the sky.

The other monks present exchanged glances with each other and then revealed their figures without any objection.

In an instant, eight colorful rays of light rose into the air from the hill and quickly headed towards the white rainbow speeding ahead.

The white rainbow that was originally flying towards this place, saw this situation, and its speed instantly increased by 30%, and arrived at where Chen Yun and others were in the blink of an eye.

The light gradually faded, revealing the stern monk named You.

His face was pale, and it was obvious that his energy had been depleted to a certain extent.

"Thank you all for your help, I am deeply grateful!"

The stern monk clasped his hands together, and the worry on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a hint of gratitude.

"You're welcome! Are you safe and sound? But why are there two mages chasing after you? As far as I know, there should have been only one person."

Nanlong Hou also stopped flying, and appeared to be floating in the air, asking with seeming concern.

"It's okay, but I fought fiercely with one of them for most of the day, and the other party also reinforced his companions, so I had to lead them on a detour for two whole days and two nights, which caused some loss of vitality!"

The stern monk smiled bitterly and shook his head, answering helplessly.

"I see. No wonder you have been trying your best to escape. Facing two mages of the same level, apart from Nanlong and Yun, the rest of us would probably only be able to temporarily avoid them if we were to encounter them."

The elderly woman sighed and said with deep emotion.

"However, the two people who are tracking you, regardless of their cultivation and magical powers, are indeed very courageous. So far, they have not shown any intention of retreating. Are they really planning to fight against the strong with the weak?"

Chen Yun turned his head and looked into the distance, and suddenly burst into laughter.

In fact, there was no need for Chen Yun to remind him, as others had naturally noticed it.

After seeing Chen Yun and others appear, the two mages on the opposite side stopped in their tracks, but did not choose to escape immediately. Instead, they stood there and watched them coldly.

However, at the same time, the appearance of these two mages could also be seen clearly under the powerful spiritual sense of Chen Yun and others.

One of them was tall, with a golden complexion, a feather crown on his head and a linen robe; the other had a ferocious face and wore a green robe. Both were mages in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Nan Longhou couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, and said coldly to the other side:

"Since you two Daoists are still unwilling to leave, are you really going to force us to take action? Aren't you afraid that if you are not careful, you will be annihilated here?"

Nanlonghou's words were full of threats.

"You are so arrogant! Although the two of us are no match for you, it is a bit exaggerated to say that you can destroy us."

"How could the two of us take the initiative to attack? We only need to delay for another half a day. Do you think it is possible to leave this place smoothly? It would be better for you to surrender obediently at this moment. Perhaps, this master can even allow you to be reborn!"

The Sack-Crowned Mage glared and responded sharply.

"Delay for half an hour? Do you think all of us are puppets that can be manipulated at will?"

Nanlonghou's anger at this time had turned into a sarcastic smile.

At the same time, the golden light emanating from his body was so dazzling that it was difficult to look at it closely.

"Maybe it's possible, maybe it's not feasible! With so many high-level monks like you coming to Mulan Grassland, as the host, we have to entertain you politely and attentively!"

A green-clad mage sitting next to him answered coldly.

"Humph! It seems that you two will not give up until you reach the Yellow River. Brother Yun, please start the action!"

Nanlong Hou had a gloomy expression on his face. He turned to the old man in white and gave brief instructions.

However, when the old man in white heard this order, a helpless expression appeared on his face.

"I originally planned to reduce the consumption of mana as much as possible before dealing with the important matters. But we can't let the two of them follow us all the time, so we have to take action!"

The old man sighed softly and explained.

He opened his mouth, and a silver ring gushed out of it.

This wheel is about the size of a fist in diameter, glows brightly, and rotates slowly a few feet away from the chest.

Faced with this scene, the two mages on the opposite side immediately retreated a distance, their bodies shining with light, looking at the old man with vigilance.

The Marquis of Nanlong remained silent, waving his wide sleeves, and a golden flying sword flew out from his sleeves.

Chen Yun and others also silently increased their magic power and slowly moved forward.

At this moment, a flash of red light suddenly appeared in the distant sky behind the two mages on the opposite side, followed by a beam of fire rushing over from a distance.

Nanlong Hou and others who were originally preparing to take action were suddenly stunned and their actions stopped.

The two mages obviously noticed the unusual situation behind them, but the mage with the hemp crown waved towards the fire with a calm expression.

As a result, the red light hovered for a moment a foot above his head, then fell steadily into his hand, and then exploded, a ball of fire burning in his palm. This turned out to be a sound transmission note that came from nowhere!

"what?"

The hemp-crowned mage simply took a quick look with his spiritual sense and cried out in surprise.

Even though they were hundreds of feet away, Nanlong Hou and others could still clearly see the surprise on his face.

The man suddenly turned around, his lips moving slightly, conveying a message to the green-clad mage next to him.

The ferocious-looking mage only heard a few words, his expression suddenly changed, and he also exclaimed in a low voice.

Then the two mages carefully looked at the many monks present, and their gazes finally locked on Chen Yun, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

Chen Yun looked calm, but deep down in his heart he had a vague idea of ​​a possibility.

It is most likely about the old man named Mu being killed by himself.

Unexpectedly, after his death, these mages were able to find out that it was they who did it.

Chen Yun was thinking calmly, but the two mages glared at Chen Yun fiercely, then exchanged glances with hesitation.

The two mages exchanged a few words in a low voice again, and the light on their bodies lit up at the same time. Without any warning, they turned into two long rainbows, one red and one green, and rushed away in the direction they came from.

This move surprised Nanlong Hou and others, but after a brief hesitation, no one chose to pursue.

In the blink of an eye, the two mages turned into two points of light and eventually disappeared into the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it seems that those two mages are quite interested in you. May I ask if you have ever seen these two mages?"

Wang Tiangu suddenly asked with a half-smile on his face.

"I have never met them. This is my first time on the Mulan Grassland. How could I know those two mages?"

Chen Yun responded without hesitation, his expression remaining calm.

When Nanlong Hou heard this, his brows frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

"Let's put aside the issue of the two mages for now. The most important thing now is to unlock the restrictions here and obtain the precious treasures as soon as possible. This is the territory of the Mulan people, and we cannot stay here for too long."

Nanlong Hou did not delve into the previous events, but spoke in a relaxed tone.

Everyone followed his advice and said nothing more.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Nanlong Hou and the old man in white, the group turned into several dazzling beams of light and quickly disappeared from this place.

Following the border of the grassland, they headed west without hesitation.

Half an hour later, a group of monks came to a barren rocky hill.

The mountain is only a few hundred feet high, with no grass growing on it, and is covered with giant gray-white rocks.

When they saw the mountain, everyone had an expression of surprise on their face.

Is it possible that the cave of the master in the sky is hidden in such an inconspicuous stone mountain?
The spiritual energy here is thin. Without the guidance of Nanlong Hou, they would probably find it difficult to find this place.

"Everyone, this is it. Fellow Daoist Yun and I will be the first to open the outer restrictions. Please follow us closely."

Nanlong Hou gave serious instructions to Chen Yun and others, then stood side by side with the old man in white, facing the mountain, and each took out an exquisite small flag.

Both flags are several inches in size, one is emerald green and crystal clear.

The other side glowed yellow, with runes vaguely visible flowing through it, clearly not an ordinary thing.

Seeing Nanlong Hou's actions, Chen Yun and others couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate on watching them cast spells.

Two people were seen muttering to themselves, and low incantations slowly came out of their mouths. At the same time, the two small flags began to flash and gradually tremble on their own, as if they were about to break free from their restraints and fly out of the control of their masters.

"disease!"

Almost at the same moment, Nanlong Hou and the old man in white shirt loosened their hands, and the small flags in their hands shot out like sharp arrows.

There was a flash of light, and the small flag instantly sank into a rock on the surface of the mountain, disappearing without a trace.

After a brief silence, the surroundings remained as calm as before.

A look of doubt appeared on the faces of Chen Yun and others.

The old woman coughed lightly and was about to ask a question when the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake, causing most people to stagger and almost fall.

However, what happened next made Chen Yun's face change suddenly, and he was secretly shocked.

As the ground beneath their feet shook violently, a long and narrow crack suddenly appeared vertically from the top of the small stone mountain to the foot, and a soft white light burst out from it.

This seemingly ordinary stone mountain was actually going to be split into two from the center.

Chen Yun and others were amazed and felt deeply in awe of the miraculous powers displayed by Nanlong Hou and the old man in white.

However, despite their shock, they remained calm on the surface, all staring at the amazing changes before them.

As for whether their hearts are as peaceful as they appear on the surface, I'm afraid only they themselves can know the answer.

The incantations of Nanlong Hou and the old man in white shirt never stopped.

In just a moment, cracks appeared in the stone mountain, forming a giant crack with a width of nearly thirty meters.

And in this crack, a stone staircase made of bluestone leading deep into the ground appeared before everyone.

"Let us move forward."

The old man in white shirt had a hint of excitement on his face. He gestured to everyone concisely and clearly, and then took the lead to step in.

Nanlong Hou, who was supposed to be the leader, just smiled slightly and retreated to the back of the team.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel confused.

This old man in white shirt does not seem to be simple. In this place, he seems to have surpassed Nanlong Hou and become the leader of the team.

The others might have noticed this as well. After exchanging a few glances, no one mentioned the matter. They remained calm and followed the old man in white.

The stone staircase is very long, with moonstones emitting a soft glow inlaid on both sides.

However, as we continued to walk downward, the surrounding environment became colder and colder.

Soon after, the group had reached a depth of about three hundred meters below the stone mountain.

The light emitted by the moonstone is no longer the elegant white color as before, but has turned into a strange green, making the entire passage dark and filled with a gloomy atmosphere. (End of this chapter)
