Chapter 1237: The First Force
As the distribution was completed, the monks began to act according to the plan.
Each group was led by a strong man from the sect, carrying the necessary supplies and elixirs, and began to explore the mysterious realm.
Before leaving, Zhou Yiqiao exchanged a meaningful look with Xu Hanchang and Qing Jimeng.
Although the three of them were assigned to different groups, with their strength, it was easy for them to disrupt their own team.
As the team dispersed, Zhou Yiqiao led his team deeper into the direction of Changsheng Forest.
In the team led by Zhou Yiqiao, except for two disciples of Qinjian Villa who disguised themselves as Danxin League, the rest were all cultivators from the three major sects.
Zhou Yiqiao smiled secretly in his heart and maintained the image of being able to only make pills. He led everyone on a flight for several days before finally arriving safely at the Changsheng Forest.
As Zhou Yiqiao and his team approached the Forest of Eternal Life, the first thing they felt was a strong breath of life.
The air here seems to be fresher than other places in the secret realm, with an indescribable sweetness and vitality.
The trees are tall and dense, and the sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves is filtered into mottled light and shadows, sprinkling on the mossy ground.
The vegetation in Changsheng Forest is extremely lush, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, some of which emit a subtle fragrance, while others sparkle with a faint light.
Occasionally, you can see some spiritual beasts shuttling between the branches and leaves of the trees. They seem wary and curious about these uninvited guests.
Zhou Yiqiao knew that the tranquility of Changsheng Forest was only a superficial phenomenon. As one of the treasured places in the mysterious realm, it was impossible for there to be no danger here.
He reminded the team members to stay alert, and at the same time took the opportunity to consolidate his image as a "good man".
"Everyone, please be careful. There may be powerful spirit beasts and unknown dangers hidden in the Forest of Immortality."
"Although our mission is to find the elixir, our first priority is to ensure our own safety."
"If you encounter any misfortune after entering the Forest of Eternal Life, please come to me immediately. I will help you escape from danger to the best of my ability."
Zhou Yiqiao's words were indeed useful. Upon hearing his words, the monks in the team cast grateful glances at him, and had even more respect for this leader who seemed gentle but was actually unfathomable.
Following Zhou Yiqiao's order, the team slowly stepped into the Changsheng Forest.
As soon as they entered the Forest of Eternal Life, everyone immediately felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy.
The air here seems to contain the rich essence of life, and every breath can refresh people.
However, this tranquility did not last long. Soon, a monk in the team suddenly stopped, his face turned pale and his eyes were filled with fear.
"Everyone be careful, I feel something approaching us."
His voice was trembling, and he was obviously shrouded in fear.
Zhou Yiqiao's eyes focused, he could naturally feel a hidden and powerful aura approaching rapidly. Not only that, he also recognized what it was from the other party's wild aura.
What made him dissatisfied was that he did not expect that there was someone with such sensitive spiritual perception in the team, who ruined his plan to wipe out the entire team.
"Everyone prepare to fight, don't disperse."
But now that things have come to this, Zhou Yiqiao will naturally not reveal any flaws.
When one plan failed, he came up with another. He took out the Dusk Sword and quickly gave orders while scanning the team, looking for a possible breakthrough.
As long as he uses the right means and cooperates with the impending threats, he is confident that he can deal with all the disciples of the three major forces.
With a deafening roar, a huge spirit beast rushed out of the woods. It was huge in size, covered with hard scales, and its eyes flashed with fierce light.
"It's the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus!"
A monk exclaimed, his voice filled with fear.
The Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus is an extremely ferocious spiritual beast. It has extremely strong defense and amazing attack power. It is the top predator in the entire world of cultivation.
"Everyone, don't panic. Follow the previous plan, take me as the center, and quickly meet the enemy!"
Zhou Yiqiao shouted loudly, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.
The monks in the team acted quickly and dispersed rapidly according to their distance from Zhou Yiqiao, forming a simple formation that was well known to all the monks in the Tianchen Realm.
Zhou Yiqiao stood in the center of the formation, his eyes fixed on the Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex. At the same time, he began to form seals quickly with his hands, preparing to launch an attack.
However, at this moment, something changed suddenly.
A monk suddenly let out a scream. His body was suddenly blown away by an invisible force and hit a big tree heavily, spurting out blood from his mouth.
"It's a trap!"
Someone exclaimed.
Zhou Yiqiao's eyes turned cold. He could feel that this power did not come from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but someone was attacking them in secret.
"Everyone be careful, there are enemies attacking us from the dark!"
Zhou Yiqiao did not expect that a third-party force would disrupt his plans. He quickly analyzed the current situation and secretly thought of countermeasures in his mind.
A gleam of light flashed in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, and he realized that this was a great opportunity.
He can take advantage of the emergence of a third-party force and pretend to be forced to leave, leaving the disciples of the three major sects to fend for themselves. In this way, he can both protect himself and weaken the strength of the three major sects.
"Everyone hold on, I'll go investigate the situation!"
Zhou Yiqiao shouted loudly and rushed towards the dense forest on one side, as if to better observe the enemy's position.
The monks in the team were already a little panicked under the double threat of the Armored Tyrannosaurus and the hidden enemy. When they saw Zhou Yiqiao rushing out, although they felt a little uneasy, they thought that he was the leader of the Danxin League after all, and he would not abandon them.
However, Zhou Yiqiao did not actually go to search for the enemy, but instead quickly shuttled through the dense forest, looking for traces of the third-party forces hidden in the forest.
Although this third-party force could help him deal with the monks in his team, it also threatened his own life.
Only if he could wipe out the enemy together with the entire team of monks, his plan would be considered truly perfect.
At this moment, Zhou Yiqiao's figure was no longer as slow as in front of everyone. His whole figure was pulled into a phantom because of the rapid speed, shuttling through the woods.
Deep in the dense forest, the light was dim. With his extraordinary perception, Zhou Yiqiao finally caught a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.
Although the fluctuation was subtle, it was extremely cunning, as if it was intentionally leading him away from his true goal.
Zhou Yiqiao curled his lips into a sneer and said to himself.
"You are trying to confuse me with such a trivial trick?"
He suddenly stopped, closed his eyes and concentrated, spiritual energy surged around him, as if he had merged with the surrounding nature.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with brilliance, and locked onto a hidden bush not far away.
There, is the source of the fluctuation of spiritual power.
