Chapter 275: Breaking the Restriction, Ye Changsheng's Method
The hearty laughter outside Shishan made most of the people present suddenly turn pale.
Various expressions such as disbelief, anger, and fear appeared on their faces, which were extremely complicated.
In the end, Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi looked at Yuan Yao with cold eyes and unfriendly expressions.
However, Yuan Yao always had a faint smile on her face, looking like she didn't care at all.
The old man surnamed Yun from the Ghost Spirit Sect's eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly he seemed to have figured something out. His gloomy face suddenly relaxed, revealing a look of anticipating a good show.
Although Madam Tai, the cultivator surnamed You, and the cultivator surnamed Bing all had ugly expressions, they did not dare to show any hostility towards Yuan Yao.
Han Li looked unsurprised from beginning to end, as if he had expected this scene.
His expression also made Nanlong Hou, Xuanjizi and others who had been secretly observing him since just now feel depressed.
They couldn't help but start to doubt, could it be that Fellow Daoist Han was also involved in the leak?
The man outside the stone mountain walked towards them in a swagger without any disguise. They knew who he was with just a glance of their spiritual sense.
Ye Changsheng!
I took every possible precaution, even using methods like the Inner Demon Oath, but I didn't expect that he would still catch up with me.
How could Nanlong Hou feel anything but regret at this moment!
He couldn't understand why he couldn't detect the fact that Ye Changsheng was following him with his spiritual sense?
His spiritual awareness was only slightly different from that of a late-stage great monk, so he could sense it even if a real great monk was tracking him.
But he didn't notice anything about this person at all. Could it be that the other party's spiritual awareness was more powerful than that of the great monk?
In front of the bluestone steps, a green light flashed, and Ye Changsheng appeared here with a hearty smile on his face.
Walking slowly to Yuan Yao's side, Ye Changsheng seemed to be completely unable to understand the tense atmosphere here, and said with a smile:
"Why do you all seem to be very unwelcome to Ye's arrival?"
He glanced at everyone with a calm gaze. Seeing this, the monk named Bing, the monk named You, and Madam Tai were suddenly startled.
They forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and the three of them expressed their opinions one after another: "How could that be? Daoist Fellow Ye is here, we welcome him most!"
At this time, Nanlong Hou spoke in a cold voice: "Fellow Daoist Ye, aren't you afraid that your Taoist partner will be attacked by the backlash of the inner demon oath by doing this?"
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "When did I break my promise? You can rest assured, I can guarantee that I have never mentioned anything about what happened that day to my master!"
Seeing the smile on Yuan Yao's face, Nanlong Hou and others felt a sudden sinking in their hearts.
Didn't she say that?
Nanlong Hou and others had reason to believe that at this time, there was no need for Yuan Yao to lie to them.
Since she said she didn't mention it, it is very likely that she really didn't mention it.
Could it be that Han Li really leaked the information?
For a moment, Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi looked at Han Li with some unfriendly expressions.
They both knew very well the relationship between Han Li and Ye Changsheng.
They were both from the Huangfeng Valley, and there had long been rumors that the two were very close when they were still low-level disciples of the Huangfeng Valley.
It seems that Han Li may have had the motive to leak the information.
Seeing the fierce eyes of several people, Han Li couldn't help but touch his nose. How could he not understand why these people were looking at him like that?
He really wanted to argue that I didn’t!
However, after looking at Senior Brother Ye, he fell silent.
Forget it, there’s no need!
Nanlonghou and his men have obviously become frightened birds. Explanations will only waste each other's time. Now is not the time to waste time.
No one is safe in the Mulan people's territory.
The most important thing at the moment is to first hear why Senior Brother Ye came here.
Han Li took the blame silently, mainly because Ye Changsheng was right next to him, making it difficult for him to say anything to distance himself from the matter.
"Brother Nanlong, does it matter how I found you?" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile on his face.
"But I don't mind telling you that the fact that I know your secret has nothing to do with anyone present!"
"Brother Nanlong, please stop making these meaningless guesses. Let's discuss how to distribute the treasures here!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
When they heard him talk about the distribution of treasures right away, as if he had completely ignored everyone's agreement and had already regarded himself as a member of the treasure hunting team, Nanlong Hou and others suddenly became angry.
This person is too shameless!
But then again, if you don’t have thick skin, can you become a Nascent Soul cultivator?
"Brother Ye, what do you mean? We didn't invite you on this trip. You suddenly came in and want to take a share of the treasure. You should also ask the fellow Taoists present whether they are willing!" Nanlong Hou said coldly, suppressing his anger.
"Oh? Then I'd like to see which fellow Taoist is unwilling to let me have a share?" Ye Changsheng said leisurely without changing his expression, looking at everyone.
Such overbearing words made Nanlong Hou even angrier. He thought to himself that if the several strong men present joined together, they might be able to fight against this famous Fellow Daoist Ye.
However, when he looked towards the crowd, he found that the monk surnamed Bing, the monk surnamed You, and Madam Tai were all silent and did not say a word.
Even the anger on his face at the beginning disappeared, and instead he looked strangely calm.
The eyes of the cultivator named Yun from the Ghost Spirit Sect flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, when Ye Changsheng said that, no one in the group jumped out to express their opposition.
It seemed that everyone accepted the fact that Ye Changsheng could take away a share of the treasure here.
This scene immediately made Nanlong Hou feel very disappointed.
If this group of people don't support him, what can he use to compete with Ye Changsheng?
With a chuckle, Ye Changsheng said, "Fellow Daoist Nanlong, you have also seen that none of these fellow Daoists have any objections. The minority obeys the majority. Could it be that fellow Daoist Nanlong still thinks that I am not qualified to take a share?"
Nanlong Hou's face suddenly became extremely ugly and he fell silent.
"Haha, don't worry everyone. I'm here just to take a share. You don't have to worry that I will take too much!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
I don’t know whether the Nascent Soul cultivators present believed this.
"Let's go, let's go down and break the restriction first. We can't stay here all the time, right? After all, this is the territory of the Mulan people!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile on his face.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye is right. Let's go down and break the restriction first, so as to avoid any more trouble!"
"With Fellow Daoist Ye joining us, it will be much easier to break the Great Divine Prohibition!"
…
The other Yuanyings also echoed it. Seeing this, Nanlong Hou looked at Xuanjizi and they both saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes.
But these two cunning guys didn't dare to oppose Ye Changsheng anymore. After all, they felt a little guilty when there were only two of them.
So, Nanlonghou's expression changed several times, but he finally regained his composure and said, "In that case, please follow me!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the bluestone steps.
Ye Changsheng had a warm smile on his face and walked down with Yuan Yao.
The stairs are very long, with white moonstones inlaid on both sides. The deeper you go, the colder the atmosphere becomes.
Soon after, the group went deep into the stone mountain to a place about a hundred feet deep. The moonstone no longer emitted a faint white light, but for some reason turned into a dark green color, making the passage seem dark and unclear, and filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
After walking for a whole meal, everyone finally walked into a mysterious hall.
The walls of the hall were shining with blue light and looked crystal clear, as if they were hollowed out of a huge piece of jade. They looked extremely gorgeous and dazzling.
Everyone used their spiritual sense to scan the walls, but found that all their spiritual sense was bounced back.
Looking at other corners of the hall, the results were all the same. Everyone found that it seemed impossible to investigate here with spiritual sense.
This place where the Taimiao Divine Forbidden Zone is located is really strange.
When everyone stood still in the hall, suddenly, the whole hall shook violently, followed by a series of loud noises coming from behind.
Looking back, I found that the passage at the entrance had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a wall that was also flashing blue light.
The whole hall suddenly turned into a dead place.
Seeing this scene, Madam Tai, the dark-skinned man and others' faces suddenly changed. They were about to question Marquis Nanlong, but when they saw Ye Changsheng's calm face, they suppressed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
This great monk at the first level is not in a hurry, so why should they be in a hurry?
Then, everyone's faces calmed down again, and they looked at Ye Changsheng and Nanlong Hou with flickering eyes.
Seeing that Ye Changsheng was not surprised at all and did not seem to want to ask any questions, Nanlong Hou frowned slightly.
It seems that the other party is more confident than he thought.
However, although no one questioned him, Nan Longhou still took the initiative to explain: "This change is the result of the restriction outside being activated automatically, and the stone mountain has closed up again!"
"The last time I came here with fellow Daoist Xuanjizi, it was like this. As long as we stay in the hall for three days until the ban is at its weakest, we can separate the mountains again and won't be trapped here!"
Nanlong Hou's explanation softened the expressions of Madam Tai and the others. Although they were somewhat skeptical, they were not so afraid when they thought of Ye Changsheng being here.
I think the Marquis of Nanlong would not dare to do anything under the nose of this famous figure.
"Everyone, let's break the restriction here as soon as possible and go in to see what's inside!" Xuanjizi, who was beside Nanlong Hou, suddenly said.
Hearing his words, everyone turned their eyes to the blue crystal wall in front of them.
That is the location of the Taimiao Divine Forbidden Place, which is known as one of the ten ancient forbidden places.
"Is this restriction really so difficult to break? Some time ago, I obtained a magic weapon that can break the restriction shield. Perhaps with the help of this weapon, I can easily break this wonderful divine restriction without us spending so much effort!" Mrs. Tai suddenly said.
The old woman's words made Nanlong Hou look surprised, and he immediately said:
"Oh? Madam Tai actually has such a rare treasure. Please feel free to give it a try. The method we discussed before is not 100% sure to break this restriction!"
“Since Brother Nanlong has said so, I won’t be polite. However, if I can really break this restriction and enter, can I have priority in choosing magic weapons with you guys?” A gleam of light flashed in the old woman’s turbid eyes, and she said with a grin.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
Originally according to everyone's agreement, after entering this place and breaking the ban, the two people who had the priority right of selection were Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi.
But now that Ye Changsheng has appeared, things seem to have changed.
Although he didn't say anything, everyone knew that once the restriction was broken and they entered, Fellow Daoist Ye would probably not easily let Nanlong Hou and the other two choose the treasure first.
Eventually, Nanlong Hou and Xuanjizi would most likely compromise and allow him to join the ranks of those who had priority in choosing treasures.
In this way, there are three people who have the priority right to choose treasures. If Mrs. Tai is included now, there will be four people.
These four people have the priority right to choose treasures, which makes the others feel very worried.
I think that even for a figure like Master Cangkun, the treasures in his cave are limited.
After these four people picked up the best, what would they have left?
Most likely there won’t be any good stuff.
Who who can come here doesn’t want to find out the true secret of Master Cangkun?
No one wants to let go of the secret of the Demon Valley.
Then, for a moment, these people's eyes flickered and their thoughts varied.
Nanlong Hou suddenly looked at Ye Changsheng and asked, "What do you think, Brother Ye?"
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng said calmly, "Of course I have no objection. If you can break the restriction, you can choose a treasure first!"
"Since Brother Ye has no objection, then I have no objection either!" Marquis Nanlong said immediately.
"I agree too!" Xuan Jizi also expressed his opinion.
Seeing these three people express their opinions, the others in the cave stopped talking.
Nan Longhou looked around, then smiled and said to the old woman, "Everyone agrees. In that case, Madam Tai, you can take action now!"
"Okay, then I'll give it a try!"
Madam Tai smiled and took out a fiery red cone-shaped magic weapon.
As soon as she opened her mouth, a ball of brilliant light sprayed onto the pointed cone. Instantly, a red light flashed on the treasure, a heat wave spread out, and some jumping flames appeared.
Above the jumping flames, there were a few flashing white arcs.
This is actually a magical weapon with dual attributes of thunder and fire.
Madam Tai controlled this magic weapon and quickly attacked the blue crystal wall with great momentum.
The lightning and fire cone was indeed quite powerful. It pierced into the blue crystal wall at once, and seemed to be showing signs of breaking the restriction.
Seeing this scene, Nanlonghou and others immediately widened their eyes and showed anticipation on their faces.
But suddenly, the crystal wall emitted a bright blue light, and countless thin white light threads suddenly emerged, which immediately wrapped around the advancing thunder and fire cone and strangled it fiercely.
The next moment, with a loud "boom", the lightning and fire cone exploded instantly, turning into countless lights and disappearing.
The old woman's face turned pale in an instant, and then she showed a look of extreme shock and anger.
This Thunder and Fire Cone was an ancient treasure that she had spent a lot of effort to obtain, and yet it was destroyed so easily. How could she not be heartbroken and regretful?
For a moment, the old woman felt a heat in her heart and almost vomited blood.
When the others saw this scene, they were also stunned and extremely surprised.
Fortunately, the old woman was not an ordinary person. After her wrinkled face turned red and white several times, she took a deep breath to calm her surprise.
"I've really made you fellow Taoists laugh at me this time. This Taimiao Divine Prohibition is worthy of being one of the Ten Ancient Prohibitions. There is no way for me to break it!" The old woman smiled bitterly, stepped back and said.
Nanlong Hou sighed and said, "Mrs. Tai failed at the last moment. What a pity. I wonder if there is any fellow Taoist who is willing to give it a try?"
This person looked towards Ye Changsheng, and it was obvious that he wanted him to give it a try.
When Han Li heard what Nanlong Hou said, his heart moved, and he wanted to give it a try.
It would be nice to be able to break this restriction and get priority in selection.
However, seeing that Senior Brother Ye did not express his opinion, Han Li retracted the step he was about to take and did not move.
Seeing that most people were looking at him, Ye Changsheng smiled and said:
"In that case, I will give it a try. If I can break this restriction, I will get the priority right to choose!"
Nan Longhou said quickly after hearing this: "It would be best if Brother Ye could help. Maybe this restriction will be too fragile in front of Brother Ye, and then we won't have to waste any more energy!"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Nanlong Hou's words. It seemed that he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Changsheng's sudden appearance just now.
Using such words to deliberately put Ye Changsheng in a bad light, if Ye Changsheng ultimately fails to break the restriction, wouldn't it be a huge loss of face?
A person who is comparable to a great monk of the late stage, but fails to break this great divine restriction, will always make people have some thoughts.
In Nanlong Hou's opinion, there was a high probability that Ye Changsheng would not be able to break the Taimiao Divine Ban. After all, he and Xuanjizi had personally experienced how terrifying this ban was for a long time.
Even if a true late-stage great monk came, he would probably have to think carefully.
If Ye Changsheng failed, Nanlong Hou would undoubtedly feel angry, and failure would definitely damage the halo of Ye Changsheng, causing people to no longer be so in awe of him.
Everyone will see that even this person whose powers are comparable to those of a great monk has his limits.
So if we all join forces, can we really defeat him?
Once this idea comes into play, the situation here will change a lot immediately.
Ye Changsheng knew exactly what Nanlong Hou was thinking. He glanced at him with a half-smile and said nothing.
It's just a dead person, there's no need to worry about it.
If it wasn't for the purpose of keeping him alive to cause many changes in the Demon Valley, Ye Changsheng wouldn't have gone through so much trouble and would have captured this man long ago and searched his soul to get the address here.
Taking a few steps forward, standing in front of the crystal wall that the old woman had not broken just now, Ye Changsheng pressed one hand on the wall.
Watching his movements, everyone became fully focused, closely watching his entire next move.
Ye Changsheng spread out his five fingers and pressed them on the blue crystal wall, as if he was sensing something, and his whole body became motionless.
Such an action made the people who were watching with bated breath a little confused, but no one dared to disturb him.
What these people didn't know was that Ye Changsheng , had blue light flashing in his eyes as he stared into the depths of the crystal wall, as if he was checking something.
After a moment, suddenly, his whole body was shining with golden light!
Brilliant golden light surged out from Ye Changsheng's body, so dazzling that it illuminated the entire hall.
He looked like a golden sun, shining so brightly that people could not open their eyes or look directly at him.
A terrifying aura rose from him, causing almost everyone in the hall to change their expressions.
Nanlong Hou's expression was particularly ugly. Like Ye Changsheng, he practiced the gold-attributed martial arts, so he felt the most deeply.
With such a terrifying aura, it is no wonder that he is hailed as someone comparable to a great monk.
Under the shining golden light, no one in the hall could see clearly what Ye Changsheng did.
They could only feel that Ye Changsheng's aura was constantly rising, and in the end, it actually forced Madam Tai and others to retreat.
The expressions of these people changed drastically. Only at this moment did they truly feel how big the gap was between them and the powerful Nascent Soul cultivators.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a shocking explosion was heard, and the entire cave shook a few times. In an instant, the golden light on Ye Changsheng's body suddenly increased, causing the eyes of those who relied on their strong magic power and forced to look at this side to suddenly hurt.
He quickly closed his eyes and turned his head away, not daring to look again.
After the noise in the cave subsided, they opened their eyes and looked over there, only to see that the blue crystal wall had disappeared.
A stone door about 20 to 30 feet high and 30 to 40 feet wide appeared in front of me.
"Fellow Daoist Ye's magical powers are truly awe-inspiring!"
"I didn't know how powerful the great monk was before, but today I finally saw it!"
"Brother Ye is worthy of being the most talented person in our Tiannan!"
…
A series of flattering voices rang out. After witnessing the power that Ye Changsheng had just displayed, the Nascent Soul cultivators were all shocked and came forward to flatter him.
Ye Changsheng had a calm smile on his face and said, "Let's go. The Great Divine Forbidden Zone has been broken. It's time to get the treasure inside!"
"Haha, Brother Ye has broken the restriction. After entering, you will be the one to choose the first magic weapon!" Nanlong Hou immediately came forward to show his goodwill.
Ye Changsheng nodded and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you very much for your modesty!"
As they spoke, everyone passed through the stone door and came into the cave.
Behind the door is another hall, which is several times larger than the previous one. In the middle of the hall, there is a small and exquisite attic.
This is where Master Cangkun’s treasure lies.
