Chapter 58: Leaked

  After setting up several layers of defense prohibitions in the house, Ou Yang Old Ancestor paused for a moment and sighed: "It's been nearly 500 years since the Blood Killing Cave was discovered. Five hundred years is too long, with too many uncontrollable factors. Although at the beginning, the three sects' ancestors made a soul blood oath together to pass down the secret of this cave from generation to generation without revealing it to outsiders. But things are hard to predict, and after the last opening of the Blood Killing Cave, this secret was still learned by some non-Fangyun Mountain forces. The three sects of Fangyun Mountain can no longer monopolize this cave alone."

  At this point, Ou Yang's face still had a few strands of worry.

  Once the secret of the Blood Killing Cave is known to more people, this small Fangyun Mountain will become the center of a storm that shakes the entire Three Star Domain. At that time, the entire Fangyun Mountain will suffer a disaster of extinction.

  When Ou Yang said this, Zhang Heng didn't find it strange at all.

  Is there a wall that doesn't let wind pass through? It's already not bad that the secret of Xue Sha Dong Fu can be kept for several hundred years, perhaps this secret has been known to outsiders even earlier.

  After all, every time there are a hundred disciples entering this cave, although the number of people who come out is extremely small, it's impossible to do so without being detected.

  However, even if other forces knew about this matter, they might not necessarily publicize it. Such good things are naturally better known to fewer people.

  If the other party is very powerful, they may directly eliminate Fang Yunshan and monopolize this cave. If their strength is similar to that of Fang Yunshan, they will choose to share this cave with him.

  "Every time the Blood Kill Cave is opened, only one hundred Foundation Building cultivators are allowed to pass through. Once more than a hundred people enter, the cave will automatically close for a month. In the past, our Cloud Mountain would always have a quota of one hundred, but this time, we only have fifty quotas."

  "Who else took the other fifty quotas?" Zhang Heng asked curiously. Fang Yunshan was small, but within a few hundred miles around, there were only one or two forces that could rival it."

  Ou Yang's expression turned slightly solemn as he said, "As for the other fifty spots, forty of them were taken by Du Tian Pavilion. As for the last ten spots... they were taken by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator."

  As soon as he heard that the Du Tianbao was also involved in the matter of the Blood Kill Cave Mansion, Zhang Heng was slightly astonished. The secret of the cave mansion had been known to this old neighbor of Fang Yunshan after all.

  This trip to Dú Tiān Bǎo made Zhang Héng understand the strength of this force, which is even stronger than the combined forces of Fāng Yún Sān Pài. It's no wonder that Dú Tiān Bǎo can occupy forty places.

  But Zhang Heng was deeply interested in another cultivator of the Congealing Dan stage.

  "Can a senior from the Condensation Period like him get ten quotas all by himself?" Zhang Heng asked in puzzlement.

  "Even if it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, that would be one thing," sighed Ou Yang. "But the problem is, this Foundation Establishment cultivator has a powerful first-rate sect backing him - the Bi Xue Xiang Yun Sect, which is also the largest sect closest to Li Fang's Cloud Mountain."

  As soon as he heard Bixue Xiangyun Zong, Zhang Heng instantly searched out its related information from his mind.

  In the entire Three Star Domain, there were only three countries in total. Among these three large countries, Zhao Country where Fang Yunshan was located was naturally the weakest.

  And each country has a range of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of miles. In such a vast world, the number of immortal sects is naturally as numerous as cow hair.

  According to Zhang Heng's knowledge, these sects are also divided into some levels.

  Among them, the first-rate sect is still a relatively large sect, and there are second-rate sects, third-rate sects, and so on. Like Fang Yunshan's three sects, I estimate they are between third-rate and fourth-rate sects.

  Of course, the strongest school is not a first-rate school, but a few super-large schools. These super-schools are mostly giant inheritances of tens of thousands of years, with unmatched strength, and can easily destroy this entire Fangyun Mountain by sending out a few non-top masters.

  Bixue Xiangyun Sect is a relatively well-known first-rate sect in Zhao Guo, and it's not very far from Fangyun Mountain, only a few thousand miles away.

  It can be said that within a radius of four or five thousand miles centered on Bixue Xiangyun Sect, all the small sects within its range are subject to the control of Bixue Xiangyun Sect and do not dare to have any disobedient thoughts.

  Zhang Heng also secretly thought that if only the cultivator in the Cong Dan period knew about this matter, it would be fine. What he feared was that if the higher-ups of Bi Xue Xiang Yun Zong found out, not only would the three factions of Fang Yun Shan be unable to occupy the cave mansion, but they might even face the disaster of being wiped out.

  No wonder when mentioning this matter, Ou Yang's old ancestor had a worried look on his face.

  And that Jiedan period cultivator's master was a powerful Yuanying period old monster, if this matter were to be known by that old monster, the consequences would also be unthinkable. Although it wouldn't stir up the entire Bixue Xiangyun Sect, but relying on the Yuanying period cultivator's divine abilities and status, the selected quota would certainly not be comparable to us small sect disciples. When Ouyang Old Ancestor mentioned the Yuanying period old monster, a hint of fear still flashed in his eyes.

  Zhang Heng was also moved, if this matter really shocked the Yuan Ying period cultivators, then this trip to the cave might have added endless variables.

  Throughout the Three Stars Domain, the terrifying aspect of the ancient freaks in their infant stage had long been deeply ingrained in people's minds. Those ancient freaks were all figures who could intimidate and dominate a region with just a wave of their hand or a stomp of their foot, able to decide the fate of small sects like the Fangyun Mountain.

  If those ten quotas were selected by Yuan Ying's old monsters, their strength would be terrifying to the extreme, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank.

  "I have a premonition that this will be the last chance for the three factions of Fangyun Mountain to enter the cave. So, you must be cautious before entering the cave, and only fish in troubled waters, never confront those powerful cultivators head-on. I estimate that this time, the central temple of the cave should be easily opened, and even if you only get one or two rare treasures, I will be satisfied..."

  When he said that, Ou Yang's tone also seemed somewhat powerless, but also with a few threads of hopeful color looking at Zhang Heng.

  Under such circumstances, he would not even dare to fantasize about letting Zhang Heng swallow all the treasures in the Dongfu alone.

  Zhang Heng seized the opportunity and said: "The disciple will not disappoint the ancestor's high hopes, and will definitely obtain the treasure in that cave for you."

  Ou Yang's face showed a few strands of comfort: "Your divine consciousness far surpasses that of fellow cultivators at the same level, and with the defensive spiritual artifact and Wind Movement technique bestowed upon you by Ou Yang, although it is still not possible to contend against other top-notch cultivators at the same level, your survival abilities should be very strong. I think that as long as you are not overly greedy, relying on your cleverness and caution, you should be able to retreat from that cave unscathed."

  Zhang Heng appeared to agree on the surface, but in his heart he didn't think so. In his opinion, this time in the cave mansion, people who could rival him in strength were extremely rare. If he couldn't get a treasure, others might not have any better gains either.

  At this moment, Zhang Heng is already unbeatable among cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, unless his opponent's strength can reach the level of competing with Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

  "In addition, you don't need to attend this gathering of Fang Yun either." Ou Yang Lao Zu's expression returned to its usual indifference, his eyes narrowing slightly.

  Zhang Heng asked in confusion: "If I don't attend this Fangyun gathering, how can I go to that cave mansion?"

  "This time in the cave, each of the ancestors from Fangyun Mountain has a direct quota, so you don't need to attend the Fangyun gathering. This way, you won't expose your own strength and attract attention from others."

  "Disciple, listen to my orders." Being able to skip the Fang Yun gathering and directly enter the Blood Kill Cave Mansion made Zhang Heng very happy. Those high-quality spiritual equipment rewards were nothing compared to the true treasures inside the cave mansion.

  Moreover, during the gathering of Fang Yun, he can also go and experience the strength of some top disciples of the three factions of Fang Yun Mountain. It's likely that under the temptation of Zhugidan and high-grade spiritual equipment, those Qi-refining disciples will certainly go all out to compete.

  "This time after returning to the mountain, in the next year's time, you must not leave Fangyun Mountain, and cultivate well within the sect. It's best not to leave the range of Fengxing Gate either."

  At the moment of departure, Fang Yun Lao Zu's expression was stern and he warned Zhang Heng.

  This sentence is equivalent to restricting Zhang Heng's freedom, only allowing him to stay in Fangyun Mountain and practice quietly, without being able to run away.

  Zhang Heng cursed inwardly, but on the surface he calmly agreed. In his heart, he thought that a year's time was enough for him to solidify his strength and reach the small completion boundary of the Variant Cultivation Realm. The Wind Movement Secret given by Old Ancestor Ouyang could also be quietly cultivated.

  "This is the antidote for the Soul-Devouring Gu, enough for you to use for a year." Finally, Fang Yun Lao Zu took out another jade bottle and explained to Zhang Heng how to take the antidote.

  Although Zhang Heng was no longer afraid of the lurking Soul Devouring Gu in his body, as long as he used the Void Flame, he could make this disgusting thing completely disappear from his own body, but he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

  After taking over this antidote, Zhang Heng left the thatched cottage where Ouyang Old Ancestor was.

  Just after Zhang Heng left, a purple light flashed in Old Man Ouyang's eyes, and the entire thatched cottage was also rippling with purple ripples.

  "It seems I need to make some preparations ahead of time..." Ou Yang Old Ancestor muttered to himself.
