A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

As the surrounding monks left one by one, the monks who were searching for treasure in the sea had almost all come out.

At this time, there were two monks left not far away, a man and a woman. The female monk said to the male monk, "Brother, don't you think the female monk who used the water spirit power just now looks familiar?"

"Junior sister, he is a cultivator in the Jindan stage. When did we first meet such a powerful cultivator? You are not saying this because you want to take the opportunity to make friends with him, right?"

The female cultivator looked unsure, but it looked very similar. However, that person had been dead for several years. Even if he was still alive, it was impossible for him to have such a high level of cultivation.

Forget it, I guess I was just seeing things. After all, cultivators in the Jindan stage are not so easy to mess with.

After resolving the matter, the six people decided to go to Xianrenju, find a restaurant to eat something, and make plans for the next step.

Su Yingyue said cautiously, "She and Junior Sister Mu plan to leave and return to Lintian City to consolidate the energy absorbed from the seabed. After all, they are still worried about being in Su Shuangning's territory."

Pei Cangli looked at Si Yunzhou and asked, "Friend Si, what about you? If you are also going back to Lintian City, you can escort them along. After all, Su Shuangning might take action on the way."

Mu Yao waved her hand and said, "Senior Sister Pei, don't worry. As long as we are not in Xianrenju, Su Shuangning's territory, Senior Sister and I are still able to protect ourselves. Besides, I just got a defensive armor, so it will be no problem."

Si Yunzhou didn't want Pei Cangli to worry, so he said, "Cangli, I'll let Ji Feng escort them back. It's not safe for you to go alone. Besides, Su Shuangning is eyeing you covetously, so I'd better go with you."

Pei Cangli looked at Xuan Shang again, "Fellow Daoist Xuan, what about you? Do you want to continue staying in the Immortal Residence? Or go back to the Ghost Realm?"

Xuan Shang said nonchalantly, "I guess you all can't leave Xianrenju recently. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at your jade slips. I believe you have received the news."

Except for Pei Cangli, the others took out their jade slips and checked them, and indeed they had received news from their master.

Through Si Yunzhou's narration, Pei Cangli realized that it was almost time for the four tribes to compete once every ten years.

The human race and the other three races had agreed that every ten years, the young forces of each race would compete, and their cultivation level must not exceed the Jindan stage.

In this way, when the real competition held once every thousand years comes, the four tribes will know each other's situation and will not be unable to afford to lose to each other.

This time, the ten-year competition will be held at Xianrenju. I think people from all races are heading towards Xianrenju.

Pei Cangli thought that since all four tribes would come to participate in the competition, she could also take this opportunity to learn about the situations of the other tribes, so that she could know herself and her enemies better when traveling later.

So the six of them decided to stay in Xianrenju until then, waiting for the ten-year competition to begin.

Pei Cangli looked at Xuan Shang and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xuan, you will represent the ghost tribe in the battle this time, right?"

Surprisingly, Xuan Shang did not participate. After all, his real cultivation level had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage. He could hunt for treasures with them, but if he really participated, he was afraid that the other tribes would not agree.

Besides, when the ghost tribe’s main force arrives, he will have to return to the ghost tribe and take charge there, and he will have no chance to be with Xiao Baihua again.

Mu Yao asked Pei Cangli, "Senior Sister Pei, will you participate on behalf of the independent cultivators this time?"

Pei Cangli herself was also considering it and originally did not want to participate. After all, she was just a casual cultivator and did not need to win glory for the sect's honor.

But thinking back to Yan Yihuo's words, she decided to take part in the competition to see if there was a chance to completely merge her soul and body.

So he nodded and said, "I should participate. After all, participating in the competition can also improve my combat strength."

"Since the competition is still a few days away and the main force hasn't arrived yet, why don't we go take a walk around the Xianren Residence? I heard there's a Phantom Mist Mountain nearby that has some nice scenery."

Si Yunzhou suggested, and Mu Yao was the first to agree with both hands. After all, she also wanted to take a look around before returning to the sect, and with Senior Sister Pei accompanying her, it couldn't be better.

The others had no objection. After all, they had been staying in Xianrenju recently and had to be on guard against Su Shuangning at all times. It would be better to go out for a walk.

After the group of six finished their meal and packed some food, they sat in Pei Cangli's flower basket and flew to Huanwu Mountain. While eating, Pei Cangli took the opportunity to let Hongyu come out of the space as well.

When Ji Feng saw Hong Yu, he happily stepped forward to greet her, "Hong Yu, I heard from your sister that you went to a place to practice. You are not in the middle stage of Jindan now, are you?"

Hongyu nodded, then looked at the group of people in front of her. Her sister was really popular, but she hadn't come out for a while, and a different group of people surrounded her.

When we arrived at Huanwu Mountain, we found that the scenery was really good, with peaks and ridges, surrounded by clouds and mist. The peaks seemed to appear and disappear, just like a fairyland.

The scenery is dotted with verdant trees, and the mist is like a veil, sometimes flowing in the valley, sometimes lingering on the peaks. The sunlight shines through the mist, casting mottled light and shadows, mysterious and charming.

Pei Cangli sensed that there were people behind him and they were still following him, so he glanced at Si Yunzhou and Xuan Shang, and they had also sensed it a long time ago.

The three of them tacitly kept silent and continued walking up the mountain. Pei Cangli winked at Hongyu, who calmly placed a few poison pills on the ground.

Soon several screams were heard. Mu Yao wanted to go and see what was going on, but Pei Cangli stopped her and told her not to worry about it.

When Hongyu went to check, he found three people in total, all sent by Su Shuangning to keep an eye on them. Unfortunately, they had all been killed by them.

However, based on their understanding of Su Shuangning, they estimated that the next group of people would be sent soon.

It seems that Su Shuangning has made up her mind to fight them to the death. In this case, it all depends on their abilities.

Sure enough, not long after, Pei Cangli and the others discovered that someone was following them, but this time they learned their lesson and did not follow so closely.

Mu Yao said indignantly, "It's endless. I came out to see the scenery, but there are still a few flies following me."

Pei Cangli smiled and said, "It's okay. This Fantasy Mist Mountain not only has beautiful scenery, but it's also mysterious and psychedelic. Since there's a free pathfinder delivered to your door, why not use it?"

After saying that, Pei Cangli glanced at Si Yunzhou. Under the cover of several other people, the two of them tacitly set up the formation and waited for the people behind to arrive.

Sure enough, after walking forward for a while, Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou sensed the movement of the formation, and the group of seven returned to the front of the formation.

There were still three people this time. Pei Cangli used the clone puppet technique to place a puppet on each person. Hongyu took the pill refined by Cangcang and gave it to each person.

After a while, the three of them looked confused and walked in different directions. Pei Cangli suggested that they sit down and rest for a while, and then they would set off again after the three of them finished exploring the way.

I sensed that one of them was moving further and further away, and the area around them was no longer surrounded by green trees, as if it was some secret base.

Pei Cangli wanted the puppet to sense more things, but then he heard a voice saying, "Oh no, someone has discovered this place."

After that, he could no longer sense anything. Pei Cangli realized that someone had silenced him and the puppet might have been discovered as well.

I stood up and said, "I found something and I want to go check it out, but it might be dangerous. How about you wait here for me?"

Seeing this, the others also stood up and asked to go and take a look together. After all, if there was any danger, it would be safer if everyone was together.
