At the end of the competition, young Ling Yungao came down from the ring.
"Junior Brother Ling, congratulations." Yuan Daotong stepped forward with a smile, "You have entered the top ten, and you have a promising future!"
Ling Yungao beamed with joy and said, "Thanks to my senior brother for helping me practice hard for half a month and lending me the magic weapon. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in the top ten!"
Yuan Daotong waved his hand: "You and I, fellow disciples, should help each other, even with trivial matters!"
The two chatted for a while, and the leader of the Golden Core Stage was decided on the stage, and it was Ling Yunzhou.
Ling Yungao looked at his brother's high-spirited face, and his expression darkened: "I worked so hard, but I couldn't get into the top ten, but my eldest brother easily topped the list... Maybe this is talent, no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up."
Yuan Daotong comforted: "Senior Brother Ling just entered the Tao one step before you. Now we only have the Golden Elixir. Who knows who will be the Nascent Soul earlier in the future?"
Ling Yungao had no expectations in his heart, but he still said gratefully: "Everyone in the sect likes my eldest brother, but only senior brother Yuan is closer to me. I will keep this friendship in my heart. If I become successful in the future, I will definitely be with senior brother Yuan." Enjoy."
Yuan Daotong laughed: "That's what you said."
------------------
Dark clouds came down heavily, pressing the sky extremely low.
The neatly dressed female cultivator led a group of disciples and slowly marched towards the fairy city under the dark clouds.
Seeing the bursts of black smoke rising from the city, the female cultivator frowned and stopped temporarily.
"Daotong," she called.
Yuan Daotong responded: "Disciple is here."
She said: "The demonic energy has condensed into clouds, and I am afraid that the city has been occupied by demons. You brothers and sisters quickly form a formation and lock each other with your spiritual thoughts. If you are separated, gather nearby and help each other."
"yes."
Yuan Daotong gathered his brothers and sisters and recited the formula. Soon, seven or eight disciples shone with spiritual light, and an invisible rope passed across them, connecting them.
When Ling Yun was high, he whispered: "Junior brother Ling, come with me."
Ling Yungao nodded gratefully: "I will definitely follow my senior brother."
Among the seven or eight disciples, only one, Yuan Daotong, was Yuan Ying, and the others were all golden elixirs. He did this obviously to take care of Ling Yungao.
Later, the disciples followed the female cultivator into the city.
Yuanzhou City is quiet and quiet, filled with demonic energy everywhere, and there are corpses on the ground. It is no different from hell on earth.
Yuan Daotong was okay, but the disciples with lower cultivation levels were worried and asked: "Master, has this place become a devil's cave?"
The answer was obviously yes, but the female cultivator did not answer clearly, probably because she was afraid of scaring them.
As they walked over, the scene became more and more tragic. Sometimes they would see monsters munching on corpses. They tried to stop them and found that those were alienated people, and they might even be eating the corpses of their relatives.
Human tragedy is nothing more than this.
The disciples were so frightened that their faces became increasingly ugly.
The female cultivator stopped and looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Master?"
"Found it." The female cultivator said and turned back to give instructions, "I know where the devil is. He is powerful and you are no match. Please stay here and don't move."
As she said that, she took off her hairpin and drew a circle on the ground: "Don't get out of the circle! Remember!"
The master left, and there were waves of fluctuations coming from the direction of the city lord's mansion. It seemed that he was fighting with the devil. The surrounding spiritual energy and demonic energy fluctuated, and the disciples stood in the circle and did not dare to move. ..
Ling Yungao saw the words "Jinbao Pavilion" written on the shop next to him. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother Yuan, do you think there is a magic weapon here?"
The Treasure Pavilion is probably a shop that sells magical treasures and spiritual items. People in Yuanzhou City died suddenly, so most of these items are still in the store.
Yuan Daotong warned earnestly: "Junior brother Ling, what is entrenched here is a demonic creature that can transform into gods and monsters. It can destroy the city with just a raise of its hand. Don't think too much about it. It's important to save your life."
Ling Yungao pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "That's what I said, senior brother, don't worry."
Change quickly
It happened that a junior sister accidentally stepped out of the circle and was suddenly pulled out by a hand stretched out from the ground.
They were discovered by monsters.
Yuan Daotong drew his sword and shouted: "Quick, save people!"
The most powerful monsters were all in the City Lord's Mansion. The level of the monsters here was not very high. In addition, with the support of the magic circle left by the master, they spent a lot of effort to finally get the junior sister back.
Just when Yuan Daotong breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Where is Junior Brother Ling? Have you seen him?"
The junior brothers and sisters looked at each other and shook their heads.
Yuan Daotong suddenly remembered what Ling Yungao had just said, and turned to stare at Zhenbao Pavilion.
Master has already said not to leave this circle, but now...
Yuan Daotong gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to find Junior Brother Ling. Remember, don't get out of this circle."
He has always had the air of a senior fellow student, and all his junior fellow apprentices admired him and agreed one after another.
"Senior brother, don't worry, we won't move."
"We'll be waiting for you in the circle."
Yuan Daotong nodded happily and stepped out of the circle.
There is demonic energy all around, even if he is Nascent Soul, he must be extremely cautious.
Yuan Daotong pressed his mother's sword with his hand and slowly stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.
The Zhenbao Pavilion was also littered with dead bodies. It could be seen that trading was going on here when the accident occurred.
He saw the magic weapons that had fallen to the ground. Some of them were cracked, and the orbs inlaid on them rolled everywhere. In this way, the treasures have indeed not been moved, and most of them are still in the warehouse.
Yuan Daotong finished searching the first floor, and while sensing with his spiritual mind, he cautiously walked upstairs.
Junior Brother Ling was born in a noble family and had a high vision. Plus, he had such an elder brother. Although he was harmonious on the surface, he was somewhat quarrelsome in his heart. Senior Brother Ling is the beloved disciple of the sect leader, and all magic weapons are first-rate, so Junior Brother Ling will definitely look down on ordinary things...
Top floor! Go check out the top floor!
Fortunately, this Zhenbao Pavilion was not very high. Yuan Daotong spent a lot of effort and killed a few little demons in the middle, and finally reached the top fifth floor.
This is where the Treasure Pavilion hides its treasures and is not open to outside visitors.
The restriction at the entrance of the stairs has been damaged, probably affected by the fluctuation of demonic energy.
He got in, listened carefully, and heard a rustling sound coming from the warehouse.
Yuan Daotong saw the figure buried inside and shouted angrily: "Junior Brother Ling!"
Ling Yungao suddenly turned around and looked at him in panic: "Yuan, Senior Brother Yuan..."
Yuan Daotong suppressed his temper and said, "Hurry back with me. Master told us not to get out of the circle. It's dangerous outside!"
Ling Yungao was not very happy: "Senior Brother Yuan, I have found the treasure trove. Look, there are several magic weapons here! Don't worry, I won't keep it to myself. I'll give these to you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was shouted down: "That's enough! Is this what I want? It's dangerous outside. If something happens, my brothers will have to come to save you. Quick, come back with me!"
Ling Yungao still wanted to defend himself, but suddenly a monster came out from behind him, smiled sinisterly, showed its sharp claws, and grabbed at him.
Fortunately, Yuan Daotong pushed him away and shouted: "Let's go!"
