at the same time.
Chen Dengming had already entered the Ice Wind Forest under the notice of the Eighteen Shadow Guards. He already knew in advance how many people were coming this time.
But looking at the misty cliffs that connected to the sky like a dragon sucking water, although he was shocked in his heart, he didn't see any trace of the immortal cultivator at all.
"To be able to make such a big noise, I wonder if it was created by some ancient immortal formation or by the descending immortal cultivators? If it is the descending immortal cultivators... I'm afraid it is not as simple as the low-level immortal cultivators."
Chen Dengming raised his eyebrows and pondered for a long time. He thought of the reminder from the Eighteen Shadow Guards that the innate masters on the mountain had already fought. He chuckled and gave up the idea of going up the mountain at this time.
The Ascension Conference would not officially start until half a month later. Even before the so-called immortals arrived, some people had already begun to fight with each other. They were doing nothing more than claiming fame and invitations, but he was too lazy to get involved and ask for trouble.
At present, he continues to hibernate and observe from a distance, relying on the eighteen shadow guards to pass on information every day.
The next day, the Shadow Guard came to report: Nangong Shuo, the head of the Nangong family who is the number one in nature, competed with Yue Kun, the sixth in nature. Nangong Shuo won as soon as the points were clicked.
On the fourth day, the Shadow Guards came to report: Nangong Shuo had a battle with Xu Changqing, the third innate Feng Qing Yijian, and won by just one move.
On the sixth day, the Shadow Guard came to report: Shao Yufeng, the fourth innate, fought against Shitui, the fifth innate king, and Shao Yufeng won with a slight advantage.
On the ninth day, the Shadow Guards came to report: Two Shadow Guards were tracked by Shao Yufeng who suddenly came down the mountain. They were alerted by the snake Gu and discovered that the two Shadow Guards committed suicide. The other Shadow Guards evacuated quickly, and the intelligence gathering work was stopped.
"Shao Yufeng...Nangong Shuo..."
Chen Dengming stood in the forest with his hands behind his back, looking at the still earth-shattering misty cliff scenery in the distance, with a strange look in his eyes.
Nangong Shuo and Shao Yufeng competed with other innates one after another, but they did not take any serious action, as if they were just testing. It was neither like they were fighting for the title of the best in the world of martial arts, nor like they were fighting for someone's hand. Invitation, I don’t know what to do.
Before the time came, he chose to remain dormant.
Having lived for more than eighty years, he is no longer the passionate young man who dreamed of roaring thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river when he first time traveled. He has more patience and stability.
On the eleventh day.
On the mountain peak, in addition to the dozens of people who had reached the top of the mountain, more people have been attracted by the wonders of the misty peaks. However, they were frightened by the grandmaster's power and stayed on the mountainside, not daring to climb. Go to the top of the mountain.
However, the arrival of these people made it easier for the Shadow Guards to gather information.
On the top of the mountain, the atmosphere has become increasingly solemn. Dozens of people have different thoughts. Nangong Shuo and Shao Yufeng communicate with each other with their eyes, and their eyes flicker with increasing impatience.
"The current situation is different from what you and I expected. Chen Dengming never showed up. Could it be that the person holding the invitation is not him, but someone else?"
"The two people I tracked the day before yesterday were both top-notch masters in the world, but they committed suicide by taking poison before I caught up with them. To be able to cultivate such masters and make them willing to die, there are indeed nine in the world, but the only one who has not arrived yet is There is the Chen family.”
The two of them had made eye contact until now, and both of them were so angry that their teeth were itching. They had never seen such a stubborn person.
"This guy has lived in seclusion for many years. He is very low-key. He is really cautious and calm. You and I will wait for two more days, at most two days. If Chen Dengming doesn't show up, he will attack Hu Lei. Yesterday, we tested Hu Lei. Only Hu Lei and we It can be easily taken."
…
Two days passed quickly.
There are only three days left before the official start of the Ascension Conference.
The remaining sixteen shadow guards mingled with the crowd on the mountainside, and Chen Dengming got another piece of information - Nangong Shuo and Shao Yufeng suddenly teamed up to attack Hu Lei, who was seventh on the Heavenly Ranking, and forced Hu Lei to hand over the invitation. After that, the two gave up. .
"I've seen you...these two old foxes, these two little things, turned out to be testing, just to finally kill someone, poor Hu Lei."
Chen Dengming received the information from the Shadow Guard, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that compared to Hu Lei, if he, the eighth in the world, appeared, he would probably be regarded as a softer target by the two old foxes.
Even though his own trump card is absolutely foolproof, it is enough to make anyone who tries to plot against him break his teeth and swallow it.
But his biggest trump card is to be wary of immortals. Now that he has been dormant for more than ten days, his efforts have been in vain and he has avoided unnecessary trouble.
He turned his palm over, and only a blood centipede as long as a baby's finger appeared in his palm, which had an inexplicable connection with him as if connected by blood.
"Go!"
Chen Denming said calmly, and the blood centipede suddenly opened its wings as thin as cicada wings, and with a flash of buzz, it penetrated into his right ear according to its wishes. The body curled up into a ball and hid in the ear, and its breath quickly weakened.
Soon he would face an immortal. In order to prevent the immortal from seeing through others, he had to hide his trump cards such as the blood centipede deeply enough.
The next moment, he carried a big sword on his back and used Qinggong to fly through the forest as fast as a big bird gliding. He often raised his energy to cover a distance of more than 20 feet, approaching Misty Cliff so that he could go up the mountain at any time.
Just when many people gathered on the mountain peak, no one noticed that deep in the clouds above the Misty Cliff where the mist gathered, a giant moving formation between illusion and reality had already been constructed. .
Hundreds of bright crystal stones are like stars, dotted between the formations to form a huge aerial platform, which coincides with the number of thirty-six heavenly gangs and seventy-two earth evils.
On this platform, five figures have gathered at this time.
The three men and two women are all of outstanding temperament. Their spiritual energy generates light rain all over their bodies, making them appear mysterious and fairy-like. A mortal would know they are immortals at a glance and cannot help but worship them.
However, at this time, these five immortals were talking as if the jailer was talking about which new prisoner was more interesting. There was nothing fairy-like in their words, but just vulgar vulgarity.
One of the men wearing a scarf pointed at Shao Yufeng and said with a flat smile, "Look at this mortal who is over seventy years old. He actually went to great lengths to get an invitation to attend the Immortal Assembly, and he didn't bring any of his family heirs with him. , are you planning to participate by yourself?
At this age, what hope can there be in cultivating immortality? "
Another old man with an immortal demeanor smiled displeasedly and said, "It's better to be old. Fellow Taoist He, please don't change the subject. We have already placed our bets at this time. It's your turn to place your bets and choose the person."
The man wearing a scarf smiled and shook his head, "This is the first time for us to come to this little Nanxun Kingdom. A hundred years ago, the sect and I jointly issued invitations to ascend to immortality here in the hope that someone could prove the Tao through martial arts and become a powerful and powerful person. The Wuxian.
But looking at it now, the people in this small country are not very qualified. The so-called eight innates and even other dying old men, although their martial arts are superb, have lost their potential. How can they become martial immortals?
It seems that this time, I can only select people with spiritual roots from their descendants and bring them back to the sect. I will not bet on this bet. "
"That's fine!"
At this time, another woman in red smiled flatly and said, "Since you don't choose He Daoyou, I will choose one person to bet on. I will bet that the owner of the tenth invitation that has not yet appeared will be selected into the band." Walk.
The owners of the other nine invitations have all appeared, but the owner of the tenth invitation has never appeared. It is very mysterious. There may be hope. My bet is five middle-grade spiritual stones. "
The female cultivator with a delicate face on the side covered her mouth in surprise and said with a smile, "Five middle-grade spiritual stones bet on an unknown mortal? Maybe the winner of the tenth invitation will not show up at all? Senior Sister Luo is really generous. It seems that when Senior Brother Luo proposed marriage to you and became a Taoist couple, he gave you quite a lot of gifts."
The old man joked and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Luo was born in the spiritual land of the Southern Territory. The betrothal gifts for Taoist couples in the Southern Territory are always very high. The male cultivators in the Southern Territory have to prepare caves, buy spiritual boats and treasure cars, and even worse Be prepared to take care of the spiritual beast, which is bitter."
Everyone in the world thinks that gods are good, but they don't know that gods have troubles.
Immortals are also human beings, not to mention that the so-called immortals mentioned by the masters of Nanxun Kingdom are not real immortals, but just cultivators of immortality.
Many masters who have been on the mountain for many years have become the horse betting horses in the mouth of the immortals, and are criticized by those above them.
In the eyes of the five immortal cultivators, their red-faced and thick-necked behavior was like fighting cocks in the circle, which was quite interesting...
