Avenue Stowaway

Not long after, Xi Donglin flew quickly along a cave. Seeing Kong Fang standing on the ground, Xi Donglin quickly landed on the ground.

"Senior!" Xi Donglin said respectfully.

Kong Fang smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Just call me Kong Fang. Your cultivation is higher than mine. It always feels weird to call me senior."

Xi Donglin was delighted. Kong Fangneng's words meant that the relationship between the two sides had become closer.

"Then I'll call you Brother Kong. By the way, my name is Xi Donglin, you can call me Brother Kong." Xi Donglin took a step back, but he didn't dare to call Kong Fang by his name. Although his cultivation was higher than Kong Fang's, he was not as strong as him, which was undoubtedly a very depressing thing.

Kong Fang smiled and nodded, and did not insist. Then, Kong Fang looked at Xi Donglin, waiting for his explanation. Kong Fang did not believe that Xi Donglin would come back for no reason.

Xi Donglin smiled and said, "Brother Kong, this is your first time entering this trial ground, so you must be unfamiliar with the situation here. I have a jade slip that records some information, and also a map of the surrounding area. Although the content recorded in it is not much, it should be of some help to Brother Kong." As he spoke, Xi Donglin took out a jade slip from his storage ring.

Kong Fang couldn't help showing a happy expression on his face. He had learned about this trial ground from Xi Donglin and others before. And the information he had learned only gave him a general understanding of this place, but it was impossible for him to know too many specific things.

Kong Fang also wondered if Xi Donglin and the others had some information on the jade slips, but he was not willing to force others to hand over something. After all, Xi Donglin and the others did not provoke him. So Kong Fang did not speak.

Of course. This is also because Kong Fang is not going to participate in that useless trial. He only plans to leave with others as soon as the trial period is up. Since he has decided to leave here directly, it is enough to know the direction of the entrance and exit. He does not need to know too much information.

However, since Xi Donglin was willing to give him a jade slip with some information, Kong Fang was naturally very happy. He could learn more about this place and understand his own situation better. If there was any good place, he could go and have a look. Anyway, he would stay here for more than a month, so he would be idle anyway. Even if he wanted to practice, he couldn't practice every minute of every second. He always had to have time to rest.

After taking the jade slip handed over by Xi Donglin, Kong Fang probed into it with his spiritual power and took a quick look. He found that it actually contained a lot of information, not as little as Xi Donglin said. This made Kong Fang feel pleasantly surprised.

Xi Donglin was still here, so Kong Fang couldn't take a closer look. He took a quick look and put away his spiritual power. Then Kong Fang looked at Xi Donglin opposite him. There couldn't be no reason why the other party suddenly came to offer his courtesy.

"Do you need my help with anything?" Kong Fang asked, "If you really have something to say, you might as well tell me." Kong Fang did not put the jade slip away at this time, but held it in his hand. If Xi Donglin's conditions exceeded the value of this jade slip, Kong Fang would return the jade slip.

Xi Donglin saw Kong Fang's concerns and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Kong. I just want to make friends with you, so I gave you this jade slip. I don't have any conditions."

Kong Fang was slightly startled. He did not expect Xi Donglin to say this. However, since the other party gave such an answer, Kong Fang naturally stopped being coy and put the jade slip away.

Seeing this, Xi Donglin's smile immediately widened.

"The trial period is still more than a month away. I hope Brother Kong can achieve something. I'll take my leave first." Xi Donglin bowed and flew quickly in the direction he came from. Soon he disappeared in the complex mountain belly.

"Xi Donglin has a jade slip containing information in his hand. I wonder if the person I killed has it in his hand?" Kong Fang suddenly remembered that he still had a trophy in his hand.

After a quick check of Hu Zhongyu's storage ring, Kong Fang was puzzled that, although there were indeed some jade slips in the storage ring, there was no jade slip that recorded the information of the trial site.

"They are all monks who entered the trial site, how come there is no information?" Kong Fang wondered.

Kong Fang didn't know that the contents of the jade slip that Xi Donglin gave him were all recorded by Xi Donglin himself.

Regardless of whether it was a family or a sect, if they asked disciples to come in for the trial, it would be impossible for them to understand the situation in the trial ground. Otherwise, what was the point of the trial? Therefore, the families and sects would not specifically introduce the situation in the trial ground to the disciples who participated in the trial. Everything had to be figured out by themselves.

The jade slip that Kong Fang obtained was the only one of its kind, so it was extremely precious to him.

Kong Fang was distracted, flying out of the mountain while checking the contents of the jade slip. After a while, when he finished reading the records, Kong Fang put away the jade slip with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"This trial ground seems to have a great origin. According to the records in the jade slip, this is actually a secret place opened up by an ancient family to train disciples. Later, I don't know what happened to that ancient family, and the whole family moved to other places, which benefited other nearby forces."

Kong Fang finally understood why this trial site had only one entrance and exit. The ancient family had specially opened up such a place to train disciples, so one entrance and exit was naturally enough.

"So, does the relic that I was teleported to before also have something to do with that ancient family?" Kong Fang thought to himself. That place had become a dead and silent relic, so there was a high possibility that it was related to that ancient family.

In fact, these things are quite consistent with the situation described in the jade slips. The ancient family moved away with their entire clan and abandoned this trial site, so it is normal for the ruins to be abandoned.

Outside the huge mountain, Xi Donglin, who had just flown out of a cave, saw the situation in front of him and his face suddenly changed.

There were many people lying on the open ground in front of the cave, some of them were injured. These people were none other than Xi Donglin's fellow apprentices, but at this time, these fellow apprentices of Xi Donglin were all restrained by someone.

Xi Donglin's fellow apprentices were all subdued and pinned to the ground, and next to them stood monks with well-defined bodies and bulging muscles. Looking at the well-defined muscles, one could tell that they contained terrifying power.

Some of these monks had their upper bodies naked, while others only had their arms exposed, but without exception, everyone's body was brass-colored and had a metallic luster.

"It's actually someone from the Iron Fist Sect!" Xi Donglin's face suddenly turned very ugly. The Iron Fist monks were all abnormally strong. Their bodies were their weapons. Coupled with the unique Taoist magic of the Iron Fist Sect, each of them could be described as a small humanoid monster.

A burly man who was two meters tall and very strong walked out. Every time he took a step, the ground would tremble and make a dull sound.

"I got the news that you got a cloud stone." The big man grinned, but his smile was a little ferocious and terrifying. "Hand over the cloud stone, and I will release your fellow apprentices. Otherwise, you know what the result will be!"

Xi Donglin's face was uncertain. The cloud stone was something they had obtained with great difficulty. (To be continued...)
