Hearing this voice, I immediately realized that I had been discovered!
At the same time, I also sensed that the person who spoke was standing behind us.
I focused and sensed a little, but I couldn't determine his cultivation. However, from his silent appearance beside us and the strong Taoist aura that he emitted, this person's cultivation was at least not below that of the sacrificial evil spirit!
Right now, the sacrificial evil spirit and I couldn't use witchcraft aura, and Han Wennan was only at the later stage of the seal realm.
This meant that even if the three of us joined forces, the odds of winning were not high.
Han Wennan obviously understood this. He didn't even turn around and whispered to me with a serious face, "Zhou Yi, what should we do?
Should we split up and run? "
When in danger, the instinctive reaction was to run.
However, the person behind us was too strong. I was afraid that we wouldn't even have a chance to run.
I shook my head at Han Wennan to calm him down. Then, I took a deep breath and turned around.
With just a glance, I was stunned.
The person in front of me was holding a horsetail whisk and wearing a black Taoist robe. It was the white-haired old man who had bestowed the serpent spirit the dragon transformation at Dragon Gate Mountain!
I remembered that he had claimed to be from Dragon Gate Temple. Why was he in this Peng Lai Immortal Region?
Could it be that the Dragon Gate Temple he mentioned was also in this Immortal Region?
Meeting an old friend for the first time, I was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
Han Wennan also turned his head and looked at my stunned expression. He couldn't understand it at all. He gently touched me with his arm as if he wanted to wake me up.
The shock in my heart eased a little. After thinking for a while, I cupped my hands at the old man in front of me and said loudly, "It's been a long time. Senior, you are still as elegant as ever."
The old man didn't seem to remember me. His face was cold and he ignored my words. Instead, he asked, "Who are you?
Why did you break into this place? "
I was stunned and immediately reacted. The last time we met, I was only at Shiyao cultivation. It was reasonable that a reclusive expert like him didn't remember me.
However, the situation was dangerous. If I could make friends with him, it would be better to do so.
With that thought in mind, I summoned the serpent spirit.
The old man didn't remember me, but he must have some impression of the serpent spirit.
After the serpent spirit appeared, it immediately noticed the white-haired old man in front of it.
Immediately, its expression changed. "Old man, why are you here?
Eh!
Could it be that I, the Dragon Lord, have had some good fortune recently and am going to transform into a True Dragon? "
This fellow was really open-minded. At this moment, he could actually think of such a wonderful thing. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I quickly reached out to pull him back and carefully raised my head to look at the white-haired old man.
As I had expected, the old man's gaze instantly changed after the Spirit Snake appeared. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. "So, it's you, hairless animal?
I haven't seen a snake transform into a flood dragon for over a hundred years. You're really lucky to have cultivated a human form. "
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and the Serpent Spirit flew to his side uncontrollably.
After getting closer, the white-haired old man pressed his hand on the serpent spirit's head and stared at the small horn on the serpent spirit's head. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes as he said, "Interesting …"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the snake spirit flew back to its original position like a marionette.
I didn't know what the old man meant. Worried that he would hurt the serpent spirit, I quickly willed the serpent spirit to return to my body.
At this moment, the white-haired old man had already returned to normal. His expression wasn't as cold as before. He asked me, "You're also a person with good fortune, but why have you trespassed into my Peng Lai Immortal Realm today?"
Hearing his words, I was instantly shocked.
Did he mean that he was the owner of this Peng Lai Immortal Realm?
Although I had never seen an Immortal before, this was the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. If he was the owner of this place, and he had previously bestowed righteousness to the serpent spirit, it seemed reasonable to say that he was an Immortal.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be more careful. I raised my hand and bowed to him. "I didn't mean to offend you today. I'm only here to find an old friend."
In the face of such overwhelming power, I didn't dare to have any other thoughts. I could only speak my mind. This was the safest method. As for the outcome, I could only leave it to fate.
Hearing my words, the white-haired old man frowned slightly. He said softly, "This is a place for cultivation. Why have you come here to find someone?
You should leave as soon as possible. "
After saying that, he waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, as if he wanted to drive us away.
Seeing this, I panicked and quickly said, "The old friend I'm looking for is called Ye Pianpian. Please allow me to meet her."
Perhaps it was because he heard Ye Pianpian's name, but the white-haired old man stopped what he was doing. He lifted his head and looked at me thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, he suddenly nodded. "I've heard Brother Li mention this name before. If you're here to find her … go look for her yourself. Remember, don't stay for too long. Once you've found her, leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, he didn't seem to care about this matter anymore. He turned and left. He had only taken two or three steps when he disappeared.
After he left, I let out a long breath.
Although my expression didn't change when I was talking to him, I was under a lot of pressure.
Now, I relaxed a little and thought about what he had said.
He mentioned 'Brother Li'. After thinking for a while, I understood that this' Brother Li 'should be the old president.
From his appearance, he seemed to have a good relationship with the old president. He should know about Ye Pianpian's matter.
Since that was the case, judging from his attitude, Ye Pianpian's current situation shouldn't be too bad. The old president's attitude towards this matter didn't seem to be what I had thought.
This speculation made me feel much more relaxed. Moreover, the white-haired old man had allowed us to look for Ye Pianpian. The situation had suddenly turned around.
Of course, even so, I didn't tarry any longer. After thinking for a while, I led the evil sacrificial spirit and Han Wennan down the mountain along the small path.
Previously, when we were at the top of the mountain, overlooking the Peng Lai Immortal Region, it looked like a green island hanging in the sky. The scenery was quite pleasant.
After descending the mountain, we were surrounded by dense forests. Although the scenery wasn't bad, it was difficult to find someone here.
Fortunately, when we were at the top of the mountain, we had seen a village in the depths of the forest, so we still remembered the location.
The white-haired old man and President Li were all immortals, so it wasn't difficult for them to survive in the wind and dew. However, Ye Pianpian wasn't so noble. Logically speaking, she must be living in that village.
After making up my mind, I didn't hesitate anymore. Following the direction I had seen earlier, we went all the way into the forest.
In the forest, the road was rugged and difficult to walk.
Although I still had Taoist Qi in my body, I couldn't fly here with my cultivation, let alone Han Wennan.
So, we could only walk along the rugged mountain road with great difficulty.
We hadn't gone far when I turned to look, but I didn't know where the qilin had gone.
I didn't pay much attention to it. It was eccentric and playful. It would be strange if it could stay by my side with peace of mind.
The Peng Lai Immortal Region was the same as Billows Mountain. They were both otherworldly places, but compared to Billows Mountain, this place was much quieter. We didn't encounter any mountain spirits or wild monsters along the way, nor did we fall into any formation or barrier.
Even so, it took us four hours to walk out of the forest.
The qilin was still nowhere to be seen, but the village we had seen earlier was now in front of us.
There were dozens of houses in the village, all made of straw. Some of them were single-room houses, while others were independent courtyards. They were arranged in an orderly manner.
However, I took a closer look. The doors of the houses were tightly shut, and there wasn't a single person outside.
Not only that, but when we stepped in, we didn't sense any aura.
Could it be that no one lived in this village?
But in the vast Peng Lai Immortal Region, if Ye Pianpian didn't live in this village, where else could she live?
Han Wennan seemed to have realized this as well. He furrowed his brows and whispered to me, "Ye Pianpian is definitely on this island. Didn't that old man admit it?"
What he said was true. Han Wennan's information might have been wrong, but the white-haired old man had no reason to lie to us. It seemed that Ye Pianpian was definitely on this island.
As for why we couldn't sense her aura, maybe there was something strange about this island, or maybe President Li did it on purpose.
With this thought in mind, I nodded at Han Wennan and said, "This village is the most likely place for Ye Pianpian. Since we can't sense her aura, let's go from house to house and look for her.
However, you have to be careful. This is the residence of an Immortal. Don't be careless. If you offend someone, you won't be able to save them and will bring disaster to yourself. "
Han Wennan nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Of course I know."
Then, he took the lead and strode toward an independent courtyard.
I didn't waste any time. I took the Sacrificial Evil Spirit in another direction and split up with Han Wennan to search.
When we reached a small courtyard, I carefully knocked on the door.
After a long time, I didn't get a response. Then, I pushed the door open and walked in to search carefully.
I didn't find anything in the courtyard, so I tiptoed out and carefully closed the door. Then, I walked toward another courtyard.
There were only a few dozen houses in the village. However, as we tiptoed and cautiously searched, our speed wasn't fast. After a full hour, I finally found signs of someone living in a remote courtyard.
I was overjoyed. Just as I was about to enter another house, the unlatched door in front of me was pushed open. A slender figure in a black robe suddenly walked out.
"Ye Pianpian …"
Seeing this figure, I couldn't help but be stunned. I subconsciously called out her name.
