Wang Yu
Chapter 3: Blockade
Before their eyes, the seawater surged and churned incessantly, and the surrounding passage also shook continuously. From time to time, large rocks fell like rain.
Various colored lights appeared in the passage ahead, constantly flashing and fluctuating, extremely conspicuous. Within the lights, they could vaguely hear people shouting and yelling, making a loud noise.
At the same time, streams of divine sense swept over from the front, colliding and intertwining wantonly, creating a lively scene.
Han Li and the others exchanged glances, the situation here was quite beyond their expectations.
The blue shuttle did not stop, advancing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the end of the passage.
The front of the passage was a huge underground cave, with densely packed blue stalactites on the top, looking like a huge natural cave, about a hundred miles in radius.
At this moment, dozens of cultivator figures had gathered within the cave, each driving their spiritual treasures and fiercely bombarding a certain place in the cave.
There, a thick black light curtain emerged, and behind the light curtain, a cave entrance could be vaguely seen. Some cultivators were standing in the depths of the cave entrance, but the black light curtain was too thick to see clearly.
Streams of spiritual treasures struck the light curtain, causing the black light curtain to tremble continuously, with light waves fluctuating on the surface. From time to time, some scattered black spiritual light splashed out from it.
This cave was either restricted by someone, or it was originally extremely strong. It withstood so many aftershocks of attacks, and except for a slight shaking, there were no other changes.
"Bei Han Immortal Palace, you have a good plan, actually sealing the Immortal Abode entrance!"
"Wanting to monopolize this opportunity to enter the Underworld-Cold Immortal Abode, wishful thinking!"
"The Underworld-Cold Immortal Abode is the Immortal Abode treasure of the Bei Han Immortal Domain, how can it be your family's property? Quickly remove this restriction!"
A group of cultivators kept shouting angrily, their spiritual treasures in their hands did not stop at all, bombarding the light curtain like rain.
Han Li and his group saw this scene, especially the black light curtain, and their faces showed joy.
Hu Yan Daoren waved his hand and took out the Underworld-Cold Landscape Map.
As soon as this map appeared, the blue light on its surface immediately flourished, pointing towards the black light curtain from afar, and emitting a slight trembling sound. Obviously, if it was a little further away, there would be almost no reaction.
"It seems this is the place, that rumor seems to be true!" Hu Yan Daoren put away the Underworld-Cold Landscape Map and looked at the cave entrance with fiery eyes.
Xu Yangzi and the others also looked a little excited.
Although Han Li also felt a little happy, he was not as uncontrollably excited as the others. He quickly calmed down and looked around at the crowd in the cave.
There were thirty or forty people present, all of whom were above the True Immortal Realm. Among them, there were also people whose cultivation realm Han Li could not sense, and whose aura was unfathomable.
These people were obviously all Golden Immortals.
The clothing of the people present was different, vaguely divided into three groups.
One of the groups was the most conspicuous, standing on the very edge.
There were eleven or twelve of them, all dressed in blue robes, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a kind face.
Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing that this person was Luo Qinghai, the palace master of Cang Liu Palace who participated in the Zhulong Dao lecture meeting back then.
As for the people beside Luo Qinghai, apart from that extremely delicate young man, he had no impression of the others.
The strength of Cang Liu Palace seemed to be the strongest among the people present. In addition to Luo Qinghai, there were four people whose aura was unfathomable, obviously all Golden Immortal cultivators.
Moreover, any one of them was like Xu Yangzi, a Golden Immortal mid-stage cultivation, and Luo Qinghai was even a Golden Immortal late-stage existence, one level higher than Han Li's group in overall strength.
As for the others, most of them also possessed the True Immortal late-stage cultivation.
Han Li took a few glances, and immediately dared not look any more, shifting his gaze and looking at the others.
Another group was all dressed in black robes, with a skull pattern embroidered on their chests, looking gloomy and evil, not kind people.
There were also a dozen people in this group, led by an old man with a pockmarked face, a petite masked woman, and two men, one tall and one short.
The pockmarked old man had a fierce look on his face, and a captivating light flowed out from his eyes as they turned.
The masked woman looked thirty years old, and her whole body was shrouded in circles of crystal green light, looking unfathomable.
The tall and short men, the tall one was two zhang tall, with a strong body, like an iron tower.
The short man was less than five chi tall, with short hands and feet. Although he looked a little funny, his muscles were thick and solid, like an iron weight, making people dare not underestimate him.
The height difference between the two was extremely large, but their facial features were very similar, with big eyes and big mouths, and fleshy faces, seemingly brothers, but it was unknown why the height difference was so large.
These four were all Golden Immortal cultivation, with the pockmarked old man being the highest, and should be a Golden Immortal mid-stage cultivator, and the other three should all be Golden Immortal early-stage.
As for the remaining people, they were naturally all True Immortal Realm.
The last group had about the same number of people as the previous two groups, but their clothing was very strange. Regardless of men or women, they all wore short shirts like vests, and black scarves wrapped around their heads, looking like a foreign race.
Among these foreign people, there were also four Golden Immortal existences, a dark-skinned ancient old man, and an old woman with white hair and wrinkles.
The remaining two yellow-faced men were stout, but their expressions were dull, like wooden puppets.
Each of the four held a golden crutch in their hands, which was covered with strange golden patterns, emitting bursts of amazing aura, and faintly echoing each other.
At this moment, among the people in the cave, only these foreign people and the group of black-robed cultivators were attacking the black light curtain.
The people of Cang Liu Palace were watching coldly from the sidelines, and did not make a move.
Luo Qinghai looked towards the entrance of the underground space from time to time, as if waiting for something.
Hu Yan Daoren, after the initial excitement, gradually calmed down after seeing the situation in the field.
"Gu Daoyou, should we show ourselves? Or should we continue to lurk on the sidelines?" Xu Yangzi hesitated slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Since there are no traps here, it's better to show ourselves, otherwise it will be difficult to explain once we are discovered, and it may cause hostility from others. But it's not very good to show ourselves here." Hu Yan Daoren said, and then a flash of blue light flashed under his feet.
The blue shuttle flew backwards from the entrance of the cave, flying back a distance in the direction it came from in the passage.
Hu Yan Daoren made a hand gesture, and the blue shuttle shrank rapidly in a flash of light, flying back into Hu Yan Daoren's sleeve.
Everyone's figures immediately appeared.
"Let's go." Hu Yan Daoren and Yun Ni took the lead in flying forward, and Xu Yangzi and the others immediately followed, and soon came to the cave again.
Everyone in the cave immediately noticed, and even several gazes were emanating from behind the black light curtain.
Luo Qinghai glanced at the group, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he quickly shifted his gaze.
The other two groups also temporarily stopped attacking the black light curtain and looked over.
Hu Yan and the others put on a surprised look, and did not get too close, stopping not far from the crowd.
"I thought it was someone, it turns out to be Daoyou Xu Yangzi from the True Flame Sect, I didn't expect you to come too. But these two Daoyou look very unfamiliar, I don't know their names?" The pockmarked old man showed an ugly smile on his face, greeted Xu Yangzi and the other three first, and then his gaze fell on Hu Yan Daoren and Yun Ni.
As for Han Li, a True Immortal Realm cultivator, naturally did not attract much attention from the old man.
The masked woman, as well as the tall and short men, and other black-robed cultivators also came over.
"Daoyou Chen, long time no see. These two are friends of our True Flame Sect, and they came together to explore this Underworld-Cold Immortal Abode. Daoyou Gu, this is Chen Pi, the sect master of the Ghost Cry Sect on the Shang'a Continent." Xu Yangzi cupped his hands, and then introduced each other.
Han Li raised his eyebrows. The Ghost Cry Sect was also a force on the Gu Yun Continent with similar strength to the True Flame Sect, specializing in various ghost magic arts. They acted ruthlessly, often killing people and taking their souls to sacrifice and refine various ghost supernatural powers, and even massacred some small sect forces, and were not recognized by Zhulong Dao.
However, this sect's whereabouts were secretive, and the location of the sect was located in a dangerous place. As long as it did not provoke Zhulong Dao, Zhulong Dao would naturally not send a Golden Immortal Dao Lord to take care of it.
"So it's the Daoyou of the Ghost Cry Sect, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Gu Yan, and this is my junior sister Gu Ni, who is an overseas casual cultivator." Hu Yan Daoren said with a smile.
Yun Ni just nodded slightly to a few people, and did not speak.
"So it's the two Daoyou Gu, nice to meet you." The pockmarked old man laughed.
He seemed to want to befriend Xu Yangzi, Hu Yan and others, and he was quite enthusiastic in his words.
Xu Yangzi, and Hu Yan Daoren also seemed to want to befriend him, but after a while, the two sides became familiar with each other.
As for the group of foreign cultivators, they stood silently in place, their eyes sweeping here from time to time, but they had no intention of coming over.
"Is the entrance to the Immortal Abode inside?" Xu Yangzi looked at the cave behind the black light curtain not far away, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and asked.
"That's right! The people of the Bei Han Immortal Palace are all inside now. These people actually set up a restriction and sealed the entrance to the Immortal Abode, attempting to swallow the treasures inside. Hehe, others are afraid of his Bei Han Immortal Palace, but I, Chen, am not afraid! It's good that you from the True Flame Sect are here, let's break this restriction together with our three major forces and give the Bei Han Immortal Palace a good look!" The pockmarked old man glared at the black light curtain fiercely, and said with a sneer.
"Three major forces, and those foreign cultivators?" Hu Yan Daoren glanced at those foreign people when he heard the words, and said.
"That's right. Daoyou Xu Yangzi, and Daoyou Gu, don't be offended, those people are cultivators of the Nanli tribe from the extreme west of the Bei Han Immortal Domain. They have never liked to deal with people from other races, and have no intention of disrespecting the two of you." The pockmarked old man nodded.
Hu Yan Daoren smiled and did not mind.
These foreign cultivators have always been like this, with a heavy guard against outsiders.
But other than that, there is nothing else. On the contrary, they are simple and honest, and their words and actions are straightforward, without the cunning of ordinary cultivators, and it is very reassuring to cooperate with them.
