Chapter 345

The entire inner sect was somewhat stirred, shocked by Jiang Fan's breakthrough. Xu Yang saw that the expressions of Lu Ren, Xiong Kun, and these people were all very ugly, with shock and also unwillingness to accept it.

If they had the same background as Jiang Fan, with endless resources, they felt they wouldn't be much worse than Jiang Fan.

Another half month later, news of Li Chuyang's Marrow Cleansing Great Completion spread, and the Profound Sun Sect was stirred again. Eyes from all sides turned to Xu Yang.

You know, when he reached the minor completion of Marrow Cleansing, he didn't lag behind these people by much time.

"Find an opportunity in a while and pretend to have reached Marrow Cleansing Great Completion."

Xu Yang calculated, appropriately releasing his cultivation to prepare for the second Dragon Ascent.

"Junior Brother Xu, hurry and bring your weapon. Gather at the foot of Li Huo Peak within a quarter of an hour."

This day, Gao Lin suddenly came over, looking somewhat anxious.

Xu Yang's expression shifted slightly, and he said: "Senior Brother Gao, has something happened?"

"Yes, don't ask too much, hurry and bring your weapon to the foot of Li Huo Peak. I still have to notify others." Gao Lin left quickly.

Xu Yang was helpless. He quickly entered the quiet room, picked up Red Blood, and brought a few Yuan-Transforming Qi Pills, immediately rushing to the foot of Li Huo Peak. There were already several people here, and the lowest cultivation was at the minor completion of Marrow Cleansing.

Xu Yang saw Tian Kuan and Hong Lei, as well as three other senior brothers who were already at the Marrow Cleansing Great Completion cultivation.

"Greetings to several senior brothers. May I ask what happened?" Xu Yang cupped his hands.

A senior brother named Hu Ze cupped his hands and said solemnly: "The fellow disciples who went to Camel Peak to escort minerals should have returned to the sect yesterday, but they haven't returned. Last night, the sect sent people to investigate, but there has been no news until now."

Xu Yang understood that something must have happened, so they were summoned to check the situation. With so many Marrow Cleansing Great Completion experts, the matter was probably not small.

He knew the place called Camel Peak; it was rich in all kinds of special weapon-forging materials and often dug up spiritual iron. It was even larger than the Moon Lake mine and had three or four Marrow Cleansing Great Completion experts stationed there all year round.

After waiting for a while, he saw Gao Lin and Lu Chuping rushing over from Li Huo Peak.

"Talk while walking!"

The two didn't talk nonsense and directly led everyone to rush out of the Profound Sun Sect. Xu Yang and the others followed quickly, and soon they were out of the Profound Sun Sect.

"Senior Brother Gao, tell us about the situation so that everyone can have a bottom line in their hearts," Lu Chuping said.

Gao Lin said: "I only knew about this matter after receiving the report from the Task Hall. According to their statement, the team that first went to Camel Peak to escort minerals was led by a disciple of the Heaven Power Peak at the Marrow Cleansing Great Completion cultivation.

After noticing something was wrong, they asked Elder Gongshu to send the two brothers, Zhang Quan and Zhang Heng, under his sect to investigate, but these two also went and never returned."

Xu Yang had heard of the two Zhang brothers, under Elder Gongshu, both at the Marrow Cleansing Great Completion cultivation, and they were extremely strong experts.

If these two had also had an accident, he must be careful; maybe some old monster at the Heaven Origin realm would pop up.

"Senior Brother Gao, what is our mission?" Hong Lei said.

Out of a total of eight people, he had the lowest cultivation.

Although Xu Yang and he were both at the minor completion of Marrow Cleansing, Xu Yang had a semi-spiritual weapon, Red Blood, in his hand and could kill Guan Du, who was at Marrow Cleansing Great Completion. Only he had neither a semi-spiritual weapon nor the Marrow Cleansing Great Completion cultivation.

"First, find out the reason for their disappearance and see if they were harmed or if something else happened," Gao Lin said.

With so many experts, if Heaven Origin doesn't appear, basically there won't be any problems.

If there really were Heaven Origin powerhouses, they could only admit they were unlucky.

"I'm afraid it's a trap!" Xu Yang thought to himself.

Last year, the Profound Sun Sect killed so many experts of the Blood Lotus Sect. What he was most worried about was that this matter was related to the Blood Lotus Sect.

If it was the work of the Blood Lotus Sect, it was very likely that a large net had already been spread, just waiting for them to pounce in.

It was just that for this kind of thing, he had no say, and it was impossible that every time something happened, a Heaven Origin elder would have to personally make a move to investigate.

If it were really like that, the Heaven Origin elders of the Profound Sun Sect wouldn't have to think about cultivation; they would have to run around everywhere every day.

"Chirp!"

Suddenly, an eagle's cry resounded in the sky. Xu Yang subconsciously looked up and saw a giant eagle flapping its wings between the clouds.

Calling it a giant eagle was not quite accurate, because compared to the Green-Scaled Eagle he had killed, this eagle was much smaller in size, but compared to an ordinary eagle, it was much larger.

Lu Chuping's eyes narrowed, and he said: "It's the exotic beast of Cui Mingchong. Why did it appear here?"

He recognized the origin of this giant eagle; it was actually an exotic beast raised by Cui Mingchong of Beast King Peak.

Gao Lin nodded with a smile: "I was worried that this matter was some kind of conspiracy or trap, so I let Cui Mingchong know. If there is any abnormality, it will quickly return to the Profound Sun Sect to help us report and ask for help."

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. With this kind of exotic beast around, there was another layer of safety guarantee.

The trees on the roadside gradually became taller, and everyone entered the Yunling Mountain Range all the way, rushing toward where Camel Peak was.

Running for two hours in a row, there was no discovery on the road, and there were no traces of battle anywhere.

"Could it be that something happened to the mine?" Gao Lin frowned.

In two hours, with their foot speed, they had already run hundreds of miles, and there was still no discovery.

"Don't worry, Camel Peak is at least a thousand miles away from the Profound Sun Sect. Maybe the place where the accident happened is still ahead," Lu Chuping said.

A distance of hundreds of miles, it could be said to be the sphere of influence of the Profound Sun Sect. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to move the Profound Sun Sect's escort team in this range at all.

Continuing to run forward, until evening, there was still no discovery.

"Can't continue on the road, find a place to rest," Lu Chuping said.

The night in the Yunling Mountain Range was not safe. Although they were in a hurry to find out the truth, they couldn't be reckless. They had been on the road for a day, so they had to find a place to rest and restore their physical strength.

Everyone agreed. After such a long time, if something really happened, people were probably already dead. It wouldn't help if they rushed on the road overnight.

"There is a place ahead that is very suitable for rest. Let's go there and stay for the night," Gao Lin said.

He clearly had been to Camel Peak and was very familiar with the places along the way.

Everyone's pace slowed down, and they soon walked to the place Gao Lin mentioned, a cave located at the foot of the mountain.

This place should be where the Profound Sun Sect disciples who often walked this road stayed overnight, so there were ashes and bones everywhere.

"Senior Brother Gao, let's change to another place. I don't think it's safe here," Xu Yang frowned and said.

Under normal circumstances, there was no problem with this place.

Now the situation was, if someone had the heart to be unfavorable to them, it wouldn't be difficult to calculate that they would stay overnight here.

"What's unsafe about it? Senior Brother has his own considerations in doing things. You go and hit a wild beast to be everyone's dinner, and we will go and pick up some firewood," Tian Kuan said.

With so many Marrow Cleansing Great Completion experts, it's fine if the enemy doesn't come; if they come, it's just right to send them credit.

Xu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to him, but looked at Gao Lin.

"No matter, no matter how you change, it's all in the vicinity. If there is really an enemy, it's the same to avoid. This cave is easy to defend and hard to attack; it's the best place to rest nearby," Gao Lin shook his head.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of these things, but staying in the wild instead of the cave was even more dangerous.

Being touched by the enemy to the windward side and poisoned, you wouldn't even know how you died. No matter how dangerous it was, you had to choose a place to avoid the wind; this was the most important rule for survival in the wild.

Xu Yang nodded helplessly, and immediately understood that his thoughts were different from Gao Lin and the others.

His idea was to avoid fighting if possible. Gao Lin and the others' idea was to fight, and choose a place favorable to them before fighting.

"Junior Brother Hong, Junior Brother Xu, you go with Junior Brother Tian Kuan to look around nearby to see if you can hit a wild beast to satisfy your hunger. The situation is unclear, remember not to act alone," Gao Lin said again.

This time it was Gao Lin's order, so Xu Yang had to obey, and immediately entered the mountain forest with Hong Lei and Tian Kuan.

"You go over there, we go over here!" Tian Kuan pointed in a direction at will, meaning to separate to look for wild beasts.

"Good!"

Xu Yang nodded, plunged into the mountain forest, and spread his mind out like a large net. After a while, he found a few wild deer in the forest.

Unfolding his movement technique, he rushed over, pointed a finger in the air, and the neck of the largest stag was shot through. The remaining wild deer scattered and fled.

Xu Yang floated down like a breeze, holding the stag that had died of breath in his hand.

"Ah..."

Just at this moment, a shrill scream tore through the mountain forest. Although it was far away, he still recognized that it was Hong Lei's voice, and the voice contained fear and pain.

"Something happened!"

Xu Yang's expression shifted slightly, and the mind he had put away was spread out again, covering the surroundings.

"Eh..."

He was planning to touch over to see what Hong Lei and Tian Kuan had encountered, when he suddenly discovered that in the place covered by his mind, a hundred feet away from him, there was a place where trees were broken, blade marks were everywhere, clearly experts had fought here. A piece of soil was dyed red with blood, and it had already dried, presenting a black color.

Xu Yang rushed over. The traces here were very new; it should be something that happened in these few days.

The battlefield full of cracks, a few pieces of clothing were very conspicuous.

He bent down to pick them up and saw that they were pieces of clothing of inner sect disciples of the Profound Sun Sect, all stained with blood.

"Are they the two brothers, Zhang Heng and Zhang Quan?"

Xu Yang's gaze swept over, and he discovered that besides human footprints, there were some huge claw marks on this battlefield, very terrifying. If you didn't look carefully, you would think they were split by blades and swords.

"Boom boom..."

Intense collision sounds came from afar, accompanied by huge roars and Tian Kuan's angry roars. Xu Yang held Red Blood in his hand and touched toward that direction.
