C122 Posterior Mountain
The area of the mountain was very wide. Zhou Yi used his sharp senses to continuously search the corners of the mountain to see if there were any clues. However, no matter how he searched, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary.
However, the moment Zhou Yi arrived at the back of the mountain, he heard bursts of angry roars. Zhou Yi was immediately shocked and confused. He immediately became alert and focused as he walked towards the direction of the roars.
The roaring sound was getting closer and closer. At this moment, a hidden cave appeared in a corner. Zhou Yi was overjoyed and wanted to enter the cave to search for something good or useful.
But what Zhou Yi didn't expect was that the moment Zhou Yi stepped into the hole, his whole body flew up and fell to the side. Zhou Yi was speechless. He actually suffered such a huge loss.
If he looked carefully, he would see that there were circular ripples on the outside of the cave, like ripples on the water, but they were useless. With Zhou Yi's rich experience, he could tell that this was a formation, with it obstructing him, Zhou Yi's current strength could not break through. Even if he could break through, it would increase the commotion.
Zhou Yi was helpless. It was not easy to find such a clue, so he could only turn around and leave.
After Zhou Yi left, Fifth Elder immediately rushed over. It turned out that this formation had a sensing function. As long as a living creature got near the formation, it would activate the jade pendants that the elders carried around with them. When the Fifth Elder found that the jade pendant nearby had lit up, she quickly came over to check.
When the Fifth Elder came over and saw that there was nothing, she could not help but feel strange. She thought that there must be some wild beast that had accidentally barged into this place.
Zhou Yi felt that something was wrong as he returned to his room. He knew he had to investigate the cave thoroughly, but he also knew that he couldn't wait to eat the hot tofu. Thus, he sat on the bed and started to cultivate.
On the second day, in the main hall of a mountain, Zhou Yi came to bid his farewell. Sect Leader respectfully asked Zhou Yi, "Young Hero Zhou, are you in a better mood today? Yesterday, you did scare Young Hero Zhou.
Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you seven elders are just a pile of rat poop that broke a pot of porridge. I still believe you and Sect Leader's character."
"That's great. Thank you, Brother Zhou." Sect Leader was very happy.
Wu Tie paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This matter has already happened. Patriarch Seven was killed by you personally, so it's over. But I hope your other elders will take this as a warning. Hopefully, there won't be a next time. I don't want to be threatened anymore."
Sect Leader quickly nodded, "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about? Don't you believe me? Now that Patriarch Seven is gone, the other Patriarchs of my mountain can endure the test. Brother Zhou can be at ease."
"That's for the best. I hope it's as you said." Zhou Yi said lightly.
"Farewell then. We will meet again if fate wills it."
Sect Leader and a group of elders came to see Zhou Yi off the mountain. Zhou Yi walked to the entrance of the mountain, and stopped, and after hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said to the elders behind him: "Before I left, I still wanted to visit your sect, and you all know that I'm just a wandering cultivator, I have never had the honor of seeing the true power of a sect, not to mention a sect within the Jiang City. If there is such an honor, I, Zhou Yi, am not very grateful."
Sect Leader was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, let this Zhou Yi take a look, but I can't let him know the secret of our sect's forbidden area, but this kid has a lot of things I want to get. Why not let him take a look, as long as he isn't allowed to go near the forbidden area, we might be able to form good karma with him.
"Brother Zhou, of course. I am a family with Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou wants to visit my faction. Brother Zhou, please follow me." Sect Leader made a welcoming gesture with his hand, and his face was very amiable.
All along the way, Zhou Yi had been praising the mountain faction's prosperity. The sect's defenses had been properly arranged, and the disciples of the mountain faction had become extremely powerful.
Sect Leader was quite pleased with himself and thought: "This is just something that everyone knows. Why do you need to say it out loud?"
However, Sect Leader said humbly, "How can a mere mountain be worth mentioning? Compared to those powers in the capital, it's still far from enough."
Zhou Yi laughed and did not answer.
When they arrived at the back of the mountain, the angry roar came again. Zhou Yi had already thought of the explanation, and pretended to be shocked as he said to Sect Leader: "Why is there a furious roar coming from this direction? What's going on? I'm very curious about what's going on here, I hope Sect Leader can let me take a look."
Sect Leader Wen Yan's face changed greatly, but he still calmed down. He stroked his beard and said calmly: "Brother Zhou, you are probably thinking too much, this back mountain is just an empty mountain, it has been idle for many years, and in the past, it was a place where disciples were locked up for mistakes, but now that the disciples have been well-behaved, it has been many years since they used it."
The change in Sect Leader's expression just now was within Zhou Yi's eyes. What kind of person was Zhou Yi? He had the experience of 3000 worlds. Even the minute changes in the expressions of many people couldn't escape Zhou Yi's Fiery Eyes of Truth.
Zhou Yi Ma Shan thought that Sect Leader must have had a great relationship with this incident, so it couldn't be wrong. Suddenly, Zhou Yi came up with a plan and pretended to be dizzy before falling to the ground.
Sect Leader and the group of Patriarchs immediately tensed up. Could it be that the assassination of Patriarch Seven had caused the side effects of Zhou Yi? If that was the case, then they, as a faction of the mountain, could not afford it.
Sect Leader instructed a few elders to bring Zhou Yi to the guest room to rest and settle him down.
Sect Leader invited a doctor to treat Zhou Yi. The doctor touched Zhou Yi's pulse, frowned and said to Sect Leader: "This Brother Zhou's pulse is very messy, he must have suffered heavy internal injuries. He must be well treated within a year and a half in order to have hope of recovery."
The medical officer gave Zhou Yi many medicinal herbs. They were all expensive, but to a faction like a mountain, they were still nothing.0
After knowing that Zhou Yi's life was not in danger, Sect Leader was relieved. But what happened in his sect, of course he had to let Zhou Yi recuperate his internal injuries, so after instructing a disciple to take good care of himself, he left Zhou Yi to recuperate here. Sect Leader and the group of elders all went back to their own affairs.
After everyone had left, Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes and got up from the bed, sneering, "There's really something fishy."
