The third volume is named Cangyu Chapter 286 Searching for the compass!
As the innkeeper knelt and trembled, Yang Ye remained silent for a long time. Finally, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He reached out his hand to help the innkeeper up and said gently:
"Boss, your words are too serious. We just want to understand the situation briefly. Don't be afraid."
"..." The innkeeper was speechless and choked. In his heart, he even cursed all of Yang Ye's ancestors. He shouted silently, "Isn't it because of you that I am so scared?"
However, the innkeeper did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he showed a relaxed smile, as if he had survived a disaster!
This time he felt like he had been to the gates of hell, and his life just depended on Yang Ye's thought!
Then Yang Ye raised his hand, patted the innkeeper's shoulder in the innkeeper's horrified eyes, and walked out of the room first.
Li Xuanfeng and the other three immediately followed Yang Ye. They all knew that there were no useful clues in these three rooms, so they could only think of other ways.
Standing in the corridor of the inn, Yang Ye was silent for a moment and took out a golden compass!
After taking out the golden compass, Yang Ye condensed several complex seals with one hand and cast them out, which instantly merged into the golden compass. Light immediately burst out from the golden compass, and a map formed by the light of spiritual power gradually became clear on it!
"This is the sect's search compass. It can be used to search for the location of the disciples' sect tokens!" Seeing Li Xuanfeng and the other three looking at them with great curiosity, Yang Ye explained with a hint of pride.
This was a major prop for this search mission, but it was all given to the team leader Yang Ye, and Li Xuanfeng and his companions had no idea!
Hearing Yang Ye's words, Li Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly. The sect actually gave this search compass to Yang Ye!
If what Yang Ye said was true, with the help of the power of this golden compass, he would be able to know the location of Li Xuanfeng and the other three based on the sect token, while Li Xuanfeng and the others knew nothing about Yang Ye's location!
Li Xuanfeng doesn't like the feeling of having his whereabouts controlled by others!
While Li Xuanfeng was deep in thought, a small map suddenly appeared in the golden compass in Yang Ye's hand, and the terrain nearby was clearly revealed!
After the terrain appeared, five white spots of light suddenly appeared on the map!
Li Xuanfeng looked carefully and discovered that the terrain near the five white light spots was exactly in Tianze City. The place where the five white light spots were located was exactly the inn where they were!
These five white spots of light represent the five of them, including Li Xuanfeng and Yang Ye!
Seeing the appearance of these five white spots of light, Li Xuanfeng felt even more solemn. What Yang Ye said was true. The golden compass in his hand could indeed search for their location!
As Tang Hui and the others were equally surprised, Yang Ye pinched his fingers and pressed the golden compass again. The five white spots of light on it disappeared instantly. Then the map in the compass began to move continuously, as if searching!
After a while, after moving a long distance, the map on the golden compass finally stopped, and a fainter white light spot appeared on it!
Seeing this faint white light, Yang Ye frowned and said in a serious tone: "The situation of the three missing disciples is probably worse than we thought!"
"What's going on?" Tang Hui asked in confusion immediately after hearing this.
"Just now I used a compass to search for the locations of three people's sect tokens, but I only found one person. Moreover, this person's sect token seemed to have been damaged, and the light became extremely weak!" Yang Ye explained with a serious expression.
After hearing Yang Ye's words, several people were shocked. If that was the case, it was very likely that something had happened to these three people!
"Let's go and see where this person's sect token is now!" Yang Ye said without hesitation, and walked straight out of the inn!
Li Xuanfeng and his three companions immediately followed. After walking out of the inn, the five of them instantly took off into the air and began to fly on their way. Yang Ye led the way in front, holding a golden compass, while Li Xuanfeng and his companions followed beside him.
After seeing Yang Ye and four others leave the inn, the innkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he should have escaped this disaster!
In just a moment, everyone found that they had arrived at the edge of Tianze City. Yang Ye still did not stop, but flew straight out of Tianze City and came to the outside of the city!
Only after flying for another half an incense stick did they stop in the air and land on the ground.
At this moment, everyone was hundreds of miles away from Tianze City!
This was at the edge of a forest. After the five people landed on the ground, they immediately checked the surroundings and discovered that this place was full of traces of battles!
Among the large trees within a few hundred feet of this place, some were cut cleanly by sharp weapons, some were burned black by fierce fire, and some were directly crushed into countless wood chips. There was almost no intact tree left!
All this indicates that a great battle took place here!
Judging from various traces, there should be quite a few people involved in this battle, not just three or five!
Not only that, in addition to the messy trees, there are also a lot of bloodstains left here, obviously someone was injured here!
"Everyone, be alert to your surroundings to avoid being ambushed!" Yang Ye lowered his voice and reminded everyone in an extremely serious tone!
After hearing Yang Ye's words, Tang Hui and the others immediately put all their efforts into activating their internal cultivation, spreading their spiritual awareness and keeping an eye on the surroundings.
However, Li Xuanfeng was not like them. After leaving the inn, he kept his cultivation ready to explode at any time, and spread out his spiritual awareness to be alert to the surroundings. He had already developed a cautious character and did not allow himself to be careless.
When Li Xuanfeng and his four companions flew to this place and landed, they saw a transparent light curtain about a mile away from here. If one's cultivation had not reached the Spirit God Realm, one would not be able to perceive this light curtain at all, and would only see that there was no difference between this place and the nearby places!
There were ten people hiding in this light curtain!
These ten people have a powerful aura that is faintly visible. Their cultivation is extremely strong, and the weakest one has already reached the middle stage of the Spirit Infant Realm!
"Just as the gang leader expected, the people from the Dao Sect will come to investigate this matter!" A skinny old man with gray hair among the ten people muttered to himself!
"The gang leader is indeed very foresighted and has made all the plans!" Next to the skinny old man, a thin young man echoed with reverence.
"According to what the gang leader said, if the Wendao Sect sends disciples here, we will capture or kill them directly, and use the means they know about the Wendao Sect's investigation into this matter to erase all traces. The Wendao Sect will not be able to investigate us in the future!" The skinny old man's eyes showed a strong murderous intent, and he muttered to himself in a low voice!
“If the elders from the Taoist sect come, we need to act according to the circumstances. For the sake of all the brothers in the gang, we have to make sacrifices when necessary!” the thin young man continued , his tone containing determination, and even a resolution to die peacefully.
It is hard to believe that two powerful monks whose cultivation base is above the Spirit Infant Realm would be so respectful to the gang leader they mentioned, it seems that they have reached the point of not fearing death at all!
“I didn’t expect that the Wendao Sect actually sent out a purple-robed disciple. It seems that they are very concerned about this matter. However, they will probably be heartbroken because of the loss of a purple-robed disciple later!” The skinny old man saw the purple robe on Yang Ye and laughed coldly in a low voice!
Because of the blocking of this transparent light curtain, none of their words could be heard, and Li Xuanfeng and the other four were completely unaware of it!
At this time, Yang Ye walked a few steps on the ground, squatted down, and found a token among the countless fallen leaves.
This is exactly the sect token of the Wendao Sect, but now the token has been split and a small half of it is missing!
"It seems that the tokens of the other two people have been completely shattered. If the structure inside this token had not been completely shattered when it was split open, we wouldn't even be able to find this token now!" Yang Ye said softly with a serious expression.
After hearing this, several people were shocked. The three missing people even had their sect tokens shattered, and they were probably in great danger!
"Everyone, search this place carefully to see if there are any body remains!" Yang Ye then said.
The five people began to search the place carefully. They needed to confirm whether the three missing disciples had been harmed!
At this moment, a thick and sinister look appeared in the eyes of the skinny old man a mile away, and he whispered an order: "Pay attention to conceal your presence, we will sneak closer, then suddenly attack these five people and end the battle quickly!"
A moment later, Li Xuanfeng and his five companions had divided the work and searched the place thoroughly. Although they found a lot of bloodstains, there were no broken limbs or arms, let alone corpses.
Yang Ye, Li Xuanfeng and the other three looked at each other, and all five of them shook their heads slightly, indicating that no body had been found.
"There are only two possibilities in this matter. One is that the three missing people have not been killed yet. The other is that this place has been cleaned up by someone with ulterior motives!" Yang Ye was silent for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
Just as several people were in deep thought, Li Xuanfeng glanced around and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his mind!
This feeling was extremely strange and appeared without any warning, but there was no sign of anything unusual nearby, as if it was an illusion!
Li Xuanfeng spread out his spiritual sense and scanned the surrounding area very carefully, but still did not find anything unusual. However, he did not become careless because of this. Instead, he became more cautious!
He has long been accustomed to being cautious and careful, and will not let his guard down just because he doesn't notice anything unusual nearby!
After a moment's silence, Li Xuanfeng suddenly took out a jade slip of an array formation, and after the spiritual power surged into it, he threw it directly forward!
The formation jade slip opened instantly and turned into a curtain of light, covering where the five people were!
"Li Xuanfeng, what are you doing? This will expose our position instantly!" Seeing Li Xuanfeng opening the formation jade slip without any warning, Yang Ye asked in an incredible voice!
"Are you mentally retarded? You actually opened a formation here. If it attracts the dangerous force that caused the disappearance of the previous three people, can you afford the consequences?" Tian Yu was no longer so polite. He directly scolded Li Xuanfeng in a very unfriendly tone!
Even Liu Ying and Tang Hui, although they did not speak, looked at Li Xuanfeng with disbelief, obviously unable to understand why he was like this.
To their surprise, Li Xuanfeng remained unmoved, as if he had not heard their words, and his eyes kept scanning the formation he had set up!
However, the formation set up by Li Xuanfeng did not emit any abnormal fluctuations, which meant that no existence approached the formation!
"Li Xuanfeng, quickly put away the formation!" Seeing that Li Xuanfeng remained unmoved after hearing their words, even Yang Ye's expression showed impatience and he directly scolded Li Xuanfeng!
"Explode!" What made their faces change instantly was that a decisive look suddenly appeared in Li Xuanfeng's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice!
Before Li Xuanfeng finished his words, an extremely violent aura suddenly emanated from the formation he had set up, and it suddenly exploded!
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, an extremely powerful ripple instantly spread out in all directions, instantly shattering the already extremely dilapidated trees here into ashes!
As the powerful force of self-destruction spread, the five people suddenly realized with great solemnity that outside the formation set up by Li Xuanfeng, there was suddenly a place that was not covered by the force of self-destruction!
Just after the power of the self-explosion spread, a wave suddenly appeared in this place. Ten figures suddenly emerged and rushed out without hesitation, attacking towards where Li Xuanfeng and others were!
