Chapter 124 Late Arrival
Chapter 124 Late Arrival
At the top of the steep mountain, Guo Lingli successfully contracted a six-winged divine eagle, which made her feel a little relieved. When she looked up at the sky, she found that the other fifteen six-winged divine eagles had also stopped attacking, as if they had tacitly acknowledged her position.
Everyone rested peacefully for a night to recover their spirits and physical strength. The next morning, led by the contracted six-winged condor, everyone mustered up their courage and tried to fly with swords, escaping from this place full of unknowns and dangers.
Although Guo Lingli had already contracted a six-winged divine eagle, she was still a little nervous. She didn't dare to sit on her contracted beast, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
Therefore, she still chose to trust Leng Xing and let him take her flying on the sword.
Leng Xing gently held her hand, giving her firm support, and the two figures drew a graceful arc in the air and gradually disappeared into the distance.
They had been trapped in the territory of the six-winged divine eagle for four or five days. When they finally arrived at the Pingjiang Grand Canyon, they were the last group of monks to arrive.
The highest point of the Pingjiang Grand Canyon in front of us is 6,000 meters above sea level, and the lowest point is only 300 meters above sea level. It runs from north to south, steep and spectacular, as if it is a crack in nature that divides the mountain range in two. There is a strange suction in the canyon, which makes it impossible for anyone to fly with a sword in the sky.
On the east and west sides of the middle section of the canyon, there were monks from all over the place. They were looking at the dozens of iron chains that stretched across the canyon, their eyes filled with determination and fear.
The cultivators on the east and west sides of the canyon were respectively from the four envoys of Xun Palace, Shenfeng Hall, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, under the command of the Eastern Boy of the Dharma Sect, who brought their respective sword cultivation teams, and the four envoys of Li Palace, Liehuo Hall, Yingge and Diewu, under the command of the Southern Boy of the Dharma Sect, who led their respective sword cultivation teams.
They were facing each other from a distance and could communicate with each other through voice transmission. In order to explore the secrets in the canyon, they each sent out the sword cultivators in their teams to start exploring on the iron rope.
However, the strange suction in the Pingjiang Gorge made it extremely difficult to move forward. Many monks were teetering on the iron ropes, and some even fell off accidentally, with their lives in danger.
But even so, they did not give up. Because they knew that there must be many good things or secret places hidden in the canyon with golden light and brilliant clouds. As long as they could successfully reach the other side and drop thousands of ropes, they might be able to find the legendary treasure.
Pingjiang Grand Canyon is located on the second level of the Dharma Teaching Heaven and Earth Plate, which completely divides the territory of the Eastern Boy and the Southern Boy. Although it was also very deep before, it did not have this strange suction.
Since the last earthquake, this place has undergone earth-shaking changes. The sword cultivators on both sides are unable to fly with their swords, and can only rely on the dozens of iron ropes above to climb each other.
They knew that if they wanted to build a bridge here, they would have to pay a huge price, even human lives. But faced with such a great temptation, they could not back down, and the leader would not allow them to back down.
As the afterglow of sunset spreads across the Grand Canyon, the golden light and the glow in the canyon complement each other, forming a magnificent picture.
The four messengers, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, gathered together and discussed countermeasures in a low voice. They knew that it was almost impossible to pass through the canyon safely relying only on the existing iron ropes.
Moreover, the suction in the canyon seemed to be constantly increasing, making it increasingly difficult for the monks on the iron chains to maintain their balance.
At the same time, the four messengers Yingge, Diewu and others were discussing countermeasures on the other side.
On both sides of the Pingjiang Grand Canyon, night gradually fell. After a heated discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus: to take a break temporarily, and to summon the talisman cultivators, alchemy cultivators, and formation cultivators to come together to uncover the secrets deep in the canyon.
At this moment, the sunset glowed like fire in the sky, reflecting the cliffs of the mountains on the east side of the Grand Canyon, adding a bit of mystery and grandeur to this dangerous place. The figures of the 4351 team finally appeared in everyone's sight. They were tired and embarrassed, and obviously they had experienced a lot of hardships.
When the orchid envoy Xiao Yufeng, the bamboo envoy Cuiyun Fairy, and the chrysanthemum envoy Tianju Taoist saw Team 4351, only half of their sword-cultivating team was left.
They couldn't help wondering why Team 4351, the first team to set out, arrived so late. They also encountered many difficulties, but they still arrived three days earlier than Team 4351.
Although Mei Shi Xu Tianqing was surprised by the late arrival of Team 4351, she also understood that their late arrival had preserved her sword cultivation strength. In order to give everyone an explanation, she decided to summon Yin Jing, the zither master, to test the situation below the Grand Canyon with the sound of the zither.
Leng Xing flew over with Guo Lingli on his sword, and their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Guo Lingli looked pale, obviously exhausted by the previous experience. Leng Xing looked calm, as if everything was under his control.
Seeing this, Lan Shi Xiao Yufeng's sword team leader Peng Xian couldn't help but sneer: "No wonder you came late, it turns out you brought a burden." His voice echoed in the dusk, making Guo Lingli's face even paler.
Feng Nan, the captain of the sword cultivators of the Chrysanthemum Envoy Tianju Taoist, also echoed: "Yes, I have never seen a sword cultivator who can't fly with a sword. It's really rare."
Hua Ban, the sword-cultivating captain of the Bamboo Envoy Cuiyun Fairy, took the opportunity to propose: "Since you are late, tomorrow's exploration mission will be left to you." His proposal was immediately echoed by the other two teams.
Leng Xing ignored their ridicule and provocation, as he had already noticed the presence of the Yinjing Musician. He gently pushed Guo Lingli to the side of the Yinjing Musician, and walked towards the plum envoy Xu Tianqing.
When he saw the plum envoy Xu Tianqing, Leng Xing bowed and said, "Greetings to the plum envoy." Then, he bowed to the orchid envoy, bamboo envoy, and chrysanthemum envoy one by one. His proper behavior changed everyone's impression of him.
The four envoys of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum originally had their own tents, but tonight they happened to be gathered together to discuss matters. Seeing the arrival of Team 4351, the captains of the sword cultivators under the other envoys also came to the tent of plum envoy.
Mei sat at the head of the group, and everyone sat on both sides. She asked sternly, "Tell me, what is the reason that made you arrive so late?" Her voice echoed in the tent, making the atmosphere even more tense.
Leng Xing said in a clear and expressionless voice: "We mistakenly entered the territory of the six-winged divine eagle and were trapped for five days, so we arrived late."
Mei picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She felt that this explanation made perfect sense. After all, even if the four of them entered the Six-Winged Condor's territory, they would arrive a few days later. She nodded, expressing her understanding of Leng Xing.
Lan Envoy Xiao Yufeng winked at her sword master captain Peng Xian. Peng Xian stood up and saluted, saying, "That's a good excuse." His voice was full of provocation and suspicion.
The other two sword cultivation captains also expressed their doubts and dissatisfaction.
Flower Spot said: "Where does it say that you accidentally entered the six-winged condor's territory?"
Feng Nan said, "You didn't get in by mistake because you calculated it correctly, did you?"
