Chapter 34
Yan Jie described the battle process just now to Li Ting and Zhang Shijie in detail, and finally said, "It's all solved, let's go up!"
Li Ting and Zhang Shijie looked at each other, unable to believe it.
"I have to say that in actual combat, you may be better than the two of us combined!" Zhang Shijie couldn't help but laugh at himself. His cultivation was the highest among the three. But he couldn't help with anything in this battle, and he couldn't help with it. He couldn't help it.
"It's not that exaggerated! My cultivation is very poor, and it can only be achieved by the power of formation. However, the way to cultivation depends on cultivation, and relying on external forces is always a small path. Ruo Shijie, you will break through the foundation-building bottleneck one day. With the means of sword cultivator, even if I have the help of formation, I am afraid I will not be your opponent!"
Yan Jie felt relieved when he saw Zhang Shijie's expression, so he comforted him. In fact, his words were not a compliment. Just now, at a critical moment, Zhang Shijie took anger and the sword energy he slashed out could pierce a thick layer of soil.
This kind of attack power may not be able to withstand even ordinary foundation-building cultivators. If Zhang Shijie breaks through foundation-building in the future, his strength will definitely be very considerable.
"It's still early, what should we do next? Should we explore the cemetery again?" The Five Elements Zombie was destroyed and the opponent's strength was greatly damaged. It was a great opportunity to beat the dog in the water. While urging the earth escape, Li Ting began to plan the next plan.
Yan Jie shook his head and said, "I think there is something more important right now..."
What else is more important than beating a dog in the water?
Li Ting looked at Yan Jie with some confusion, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and said, "Are you talking about that mysterious woman?"
"Why are you still thinking about that woman? Yan Jie, you are a monk, why do you always forget a strange woman? In my opinion, you are too nervous in the battle formation and have hallucinations. How can there be any woman in this wilderness?" Zhang Shijie never believed that there were still women in the manor. When they investigated yesterday, there was no one in the entire Xishan Village. Why did a woman suddenly appear now?
Who said there are no people in the wilderness? Yesterday’s black robe, today’s Five Elements Zombies, and behind-the-scenes manipulators, aren’t these all humans?
Yan Jie said seriously: "I can be sure that the woman is real. The situation was critical at that time, and I was about to be unable to hold on. It was her voice transmission that allowed me to understand the art of combining the five elements and eventually turned defeat into victory. This woman had extraordinary knowledge, but I seemed to be a little lacking in her voice, as if she was injured. This person is a friend but not an enemy. If she could be brought in, wouldn't it be more useful for us to explore the grave again?"
Seeing that Yan Jie was so sure, Li Ting was also a little moved. If this woman really existed, she would be a strong support.
Zhang Shijie thought for a while and said, "Since you are sure that this woman exists, it's okay for us to look for it... I hope you are not lustful!"
Yan Jie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How could I be so unbearable!"
Li Ting pondered at Yan Jie and said, "If this woman really exists, she is likely to be hiding in the manor. But you also investigated yesterday. There is no one in this manor, so where will she be?"
Yan Jie thought about it and did not directly answer Li Ting's question. Instead, he asked: "Brother Li, do you know where we are now?"
When practicing earth escape, the first thing you need to learn is to distinguish the direction underground. Otherwise, if you escape into the magma, wouldn’t you seek death?
Li Ting didn't know why Yan Jie asked this, and thought that there must be his reason for this, so he replied: "If I'm not wrong, we are now directly under the Tingyu Tower!"
Yan Jie nodded and said, "We investigated the manor yesterday. You should still remember the terrain near Tingyu Tower! Tingyu Tower is not far from the Cold Pond. The water in the pool is very strange and can invade the meridians of the monks. Now it seems..."
Zhang Shijie said in surprise: "You mean, that mysterious woman is hiding in the cold pond?"
Yan Jie nodded.
"No! The cold pond is very dangerous. The water of the pond is very harmful to monks, and even zombies are afraid of it! She hides there, isn't she seeking death?" Zhang Shijie asked in confusion.
"This is not necessarily true," Li Ting shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, "Of course, my arsenic," it is harmful to us, and maybe it is beneficial to others. Maybe she wants to use the benefits of the Cold Pond to fight against the Five Elements Corpse Formation? Or the skills she practices are suitable for survival in the Cold Pond? It is inevitable that there will be mistakes when judging others by oneself..."
"Brother Li said it well." Yan Jie also agreed with Li Ting's point of view. In fact, judging from the previous voice transmission, this woman is not too far away from them, and the possibility of Hantan is the greatest.
Zhang Shijie said again: "Okay, even if you are right, but the Hantan is so dangerous, how can we find her?"
What Zhang Shijie said is indeed a major difficulty at present. The three of them have low cultivation and it is impossible to overcome the cold air in the pond. In this way, even if they know the woman's location, they will not be able to contact them at all.
Li Ting frowned and said, "Since the other party helps us, there will be a message. I think she may show up on her own initiative."
With insufficient cultivation, we can only wait for others to come over, and there is nothing we can do about it. Yan Jie sighed and said, "Now we have to do this. Let's listen to Yulou first!"
Li Ting casts a spell to activate the earth escape, and the three of them quickly return to the ground and appear outside the Tingyu Tower.
The layout in Tingyu Tower was the same as before, except that the array flag erected in the middle of the first floor was slightly shining, indicating that the formation was still operating.
The three of them were about to go upstairs, but Li Ting suddenly whispered: "No, someone has come here!"
Yan Jie was shocked. He knew that Li Ting would not be aimless, but he heard that there was a barrier he had set up around Yulou, so why did he have no response?
Yan Jie's thoughts moved, and his magic power condensed his ears. Sure enough, he heard a slight breathing sound of heartbeat on the second floor.
How did this person bypass the barrier and enter Tingyu Tower?
Yan Jie was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.
"Stop worrying about it. It's a human or a ghost. You'll know if you go up and take a look!" Zhang Shijie said lightly. When he was facing it, he was the one who could keep his breath the most.
Yan Jie suddenly woke up. He secretly activated the magic array and followed Zhang Shijie up the stairs. Without walking two steps, a woman's voice suddenly came from the upstairs, saying, "This is your array eye, do you need to be so nervous? Come up, I'm not your enemy."
The speaker's voice is gentle, like a yellow oriole singing, exactly the same as the mysterious woman who sent the voice before!
Yan Jie winked at Li Ting and Zhang Shijie, walked up to the second floor first, and said from a distance: "It's really rude to have a visit when the distinguished guest arrives."
"Disciple? You set up a battle in my manor and made this beautiful scenery mess up. Now I call me a guest. Could it be that I really regard myself as the owner of this Xishan Manor?"
