Not long after, the sound stopped abruptly, and the Nascent Soul turned into a white light in the flames. After the light dissipated, the cultivator named You disappeared from the world and no trace of him could be found again.
Just as he was flying at high speed thousands of miles away, a team of tens of thousands of Mulan mortals suddenly appeared below. This sudden discovery made him feel something in his heart, so he stopped without hesitation.
Chen Yun knew very well that ordinary members of the Mulan tribe were incapable of practicing spiritual arts. However, whenever they launched an attack, the Mulan tribe's magicians would still organize a large number of young and middle-aged mortals to form temporary tribes. When the Tiannan monks were too busy to take care of them, they would go to plunder Tiannan's various spiritual stones and raw material mines.
In this way, even if the Mulan tribe's mages are defeated after the battle, they will not end up with nothing.
This kind of banditry naturally drew strong condemnation from the Nine Nations Alliance. However, due to the current tense war situation, they were temporarily unable to deal with the matter.
Because if the number of monks sent is insufficient, these places are likely to be captured by the high-level mages of the Mulan tribe in one fell swoop; on the contrary, if too many monks are sent, it will have an adverse impact on the main battlefield and the struggle between the mages.
Therefore, the only feasible strategy at present is to wait for the mages to successfully occupy these raw material production areas and mines, and then send monks to recapture them, while at the same time eliminating the mortals of the Mulan tribe.
Unfortunately, the Mulan people did not seem to care about the casualties of ordinary mortals. Whenever a group of mortals were eliminated, they would immediately organize a new team to continue mining, completely sacrificing their lives to obtain these precious resources. In addition, they often set traps to cause serious harm to the monks who came to retake the mines and production areas.
In view of this, despite the huge casualties, the Nine-Nation Alliance chose to turn a blind eye to it, because they believed that in such a short period of time, no matter how frantically the Mulan people mined, they would not be able to take away too many resource spirit stones.
As long as the army of mages can be defeated head-on, these mortals of the Mulan tribe will naturally evacuate obediently.
At this moment, there are many vehicles in this team, and they are heading towards Tiannan. Most of them are young men and women. Obviously, this is a temporary team whose purpose is to seize Tiannan’s resources.
Chen Yun stood above the team, and swept his powerful spiritual sense over them. He found that there was only one Foundation Establishment Stage mage and three Qi Refining Stage mage in the team. To him, these people could not pose any threat.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yun quickly formed seals with his hands and his body gradually disappeared in the air. The next second, he appeared silently on a shabby leather-covered carriage in the Frank team. The interior of the carriage was loaded with a large amount of worn cowhide and mining tools.
Chen Yun waved his sleeves, cleared a space in the middle of the carriage, and then sat down cross-legged leisurely.
He knew very well that the Mulan tribe's mages were now coming out in full force, and as a cultivator, he openly wanted to return to Tiannan, and would definitely encounter many difficulties on the way.
Although with his own strength, he does not need to fear anyone unless he encounters a few top masters among the mages, but he is ultimately unable to resist the large number of enemies.
Even their team consisting of seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators needed to search for treasures carefully, didn't they?
Now he is hiding in this group of mortals. Although the marching speed is relatively slow, it will only take two or three days to leave Mulan Grassland smoothly.
No one would notice the existence of such an ordinary team. Although he would sometimes encounter law enforcers for routine inspections, with the high-level magical powers he currently possessed, as long as the other party was not a law enforcer with the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, it would be difficult to detect his traces.
Once he leaves the barren land and is out of the control of the Mulan people, he can return to Tiannan alone.
At this moment, he was sitting comfortably in the carriage, and the conversation of several Mulan people outside the carriage reached his ears clearly.
The language of the Mulan people is different from that of the Tiannan Yan people, but before setting off, Chen Yun had already systematically studied it through relevant jade slips for a period of time.
With his extremely powerful telepathic ability, he had mastered most of the knowledge in just one or two days. Therefore, he could hear the conversation outside the carriage clearly.
The main topics they discussed revolved around the amount of spiritual stone resources that could be recovered during this trip to Tiannan, and whether there was a chance to gain the favor of those so-called "masters" and achieve a leap in life.
From their words, it can be seen that these ordinary people of Mulan are full of respect and fear for those law enforcers, and even show an emotion that is close to religious belief.
It seems that for ordinary Mulan people, sacrificing their lives for these law enforcers is a supreme honor.
Hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly, then he waved his hand gently, and a layer of light green light curtain enveloped the entire interior of the carriage.
The voice of the Mulan people disappeared instantly.
"Yin Yue, please tell me about your harvest now. Judging from your excited expression at the beginning, you must have harvested a lot!"
Chen Yun still maintained his original posture, but he waved his sleeves lightly, and a little white fox flew out from his sleeves, and after a spin, it landed steadily in front of him.
"I can't say for sure whether it's a good thing or not. Master, you should know that although there are many ancient treasures on the first floor, I didn't touch any of them because I couldn't conceal their spiritual fluctuations after performing the escape technique. As for the jade boxes you guys fought for on the second floor, there were supposed to be six of them, but I took half of them. Haha! In fact, Yin Yue originally planned to take most of the jade boxes, but was worried that too few would arouse suspicion from others, which would be disadvantageous. So he only took three."
The little fox half-knelt on the ground, laughing cheerfully.
Then, it opened its mouth and spewed out three crystal clear jade boxes, which landed steadily in front of Chen Yun.
Chen Yun carefully examined the jade box, then reached to his waist, and two other identical jade boxes appeared in his hands.
"That Master Cangkun left behind a total of six jade boxes, and I have obtained five of them. This operation can be said to be very fruitful."
Chen Yun gently stroked the lid of the jade box and said with a smile.
"But Master, your courage is truly admirable. You actually dared to act secretly in front of so many Nascent Soul cultivators and let me enter first. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Yin Yue sighed with some fear.
"Haha! What's there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is that you can use your thunder wings and escape in an instant. And I am naturally 80% to 90% sure of success when I act this way. Didn't I successfully hide the aura that covered up the strange phenomenon that sent you in? No one noticed the mystery. I was a little worried that you would find it difficult to hide your body after taking the treasure. If you were discovered by those old monsters, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous. But now it seems that the magic of your escape technique is far beyond my expectations.
Chen Yun smiled slightly, looked up at the white fox, and said meaningfully.
"Your Excellency is really exaggerating. Although the escape technique of our Silver Moon Wolf Clan is extraordinary, the most crucial factor is that these jade boxes themselves have the ability to conceal spiritual energy. Otherwise, it is really hard to predict whether we can hide from the spiritual sense of those old monsters."
After hearing this, Yin Yue's expression did not change at all. Instead, she responded with a smile on her face.
Chen Yun smiled slightly and did not continue to ask questions. However, his palm on the jade box suddenly flashed with green light. Then, with a little force from his five fingers, a faint white light appeared on the surface of the jade box. However, it was soon suppressed by a large amount of green light and disappeared without a trace. With a crisp sound of "click", the lid was easily opened. A light blue jade slip was placed inside.
Chen Yun stared at the jade slip for a long time. After taking a deep breath, he carefully picked up the jade slip and put his spiritual consciousness into it with a serious look.
The little fox stared at Chen Yun's face closely, his black eyes rolling around, obviously quite curious about this matter.
However, as time went by, Chen Yun's expression remained calm and he always maintained a calm and composed attitude.
This made Yin Yue blink her eyes, her heart full of doubts.
After a full quarter of an hour, Chen Yun's expression finally fluctuated. He quickly withdrew his consciousness, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
However, after a moment, his brows relaxed, and he calmly put the jade slip into his pocket. He reached out to take the second jade box, but did not mention a word about the contents recorded in the jade slip.
Yin Yue's curiosity grew stronger, but she wisely chose to remain silent and did not ask any more questions.
The second jade box was opened in the same way.
This time, the box contained a delicate and small ring, but it was completely black and dull, looking quite ordinary.
"Is this a magic weapon left over from ancient times?" Yin Yue couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"It can be considered so, but this treasure is quite unique."
Chen Yun looked at the ring in his hand with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Sir, why don't you take a look at the remaining three jade boxes? Perhaps there are other rare items hidden in them." The little fox tilted his neck and said expectantly.
The next three jade boxes were also opened one by one by Chen Yun.
There is a small green porcelain bottle in each of the two jade boxes.
In the other jade box, there lay quietly a fist-sized object emitting purple light.
Chen Yun casually opened the green bottle, put it close to his nose and took a light sniff. A spicy and pungent smell immediately hit him.
Chen Yun's face turned pale in an instant, as if he had encountered something poisonous, and he immediately resealed the bottle cap.
"The Ten Deadly Poisons...may come in handy when we go to the Fallen Demon Valley in the future."
Chen Yun muttered to himself.
As for the second green bottle, it contained an unknown pill that contained rich spiritual power.
Finally, his gaze rested on the ball of purple light. He gently held it and pinched it with his five fingers. The ball of light instantly burst into countless brilliant rays of light, dazzling.
"what!"
Chen Yun let out a low cry of surprise, and concentrated his consciousness into a point, beginning to explore the mystery of this object.
After a moment, he suddenly realized something and waved his arm, and the light in his hand instantly turned into a purple smoke, circling above his head. However, when he performed a spell, the purple smoke returned to its original state and fell into Chen Yun's hands again.
It turned out to be a purple silk net that was as thin as a cicada's wing and layered like mountains. The silk threads on it were as thin as hair and crystal clear. It was obvious at first glance that it was an extremely precious treasure.
"Could this be the legendary 'Purple Crystal Bag'? It is an ancient treasure that was famous in the barbaric era." After seeing the purple crystal net clearly, the white fox couldn't help but blurt out in amazement.
"Top-level ancient treasure?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yun's eyes. He suppressed the excitement deep in his heart and asked softly.
Indeed, judging from its defensive power alone, this treasure is indeed extremely useful. Depending on the size of its refining power, once it is used, it can cover a wide range of hundreds or even thousands of feet, and can be called a rare large-scale defensive magic weapon. According to rumors, the top-level ancient treasure, the Purple Scepter, can even cover all living beings within a hundred miles in one fell swoop, protecting them from any harm. However, whether this is true or not remains to be verified! Of course, this treasure is also extremely sharp when used to trap the enemy. It can automatically release the "Yuyang True Fire", which is enough to completely destroy a powerful enemy. "
Yin Yue spoke the story in a leisurely manner as if she was describing her own treasure.
"Yin Yue, you seem to know a lot about this 'Purple Jade Pouch'. Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
Chen Yun gently weighed the purple mesh in his hand and asked with a slightly strange expression.
After hearing this, Yin Yue fell silent. After a long while, she smiled bitterly and replied:
"Master, now that I have mentioned this, I have just realized that in my remaining memories, before I was refined into a weapon spirit, I seemed to have possessed such an ancient treasure called Purple Cloud Pouch. Therefore, I have such a deep understanding of this treasure."
As Yin Yue spoke, there was a look of deep thought in her eyes, as if she was recalling some past events, but then she shook her head and gave up the pursuit helplessly.
"Since this Purple Cloud Treasure is so magical, why have we never heard of Master Cang Kun using it to fight against powerful enemies? It seems that this treasure is most likely obtained from the Fallen Demon Valley."
"Unfortunately, the five jade boxes we obtained did not contain any clues about the Demon Valley. It seems that the relevant information may be in the two jade boxes of Nanlong Hou. It is really a pity." Chen Yun said self-deprecatingly, but there was not much loss between his brows.
He knew very well that although obtaining the secret of the Fallen Demon Valley meant that he might be able to enter the valley to explore and search for treasures in the future, it would also make him the focus of everyone's attention. Once the news leaked out, it would surely attract the attention of countless veteran strongmen and large forces, who would come to challenge him. (End of this chapter)
