Liangcheng North Gate
In a certain room among the Eldar clan, lightning was everywhere, and the dazzling silver light bloomed like petals. The dark room was illuminated by the shining lightning as bright as day.
If you look carefully, you will see a man sitting cross-legged on the ground with his face covered by a mask, his white hair dancing wildly, and thousands of thunder rays coming from his body.
Soon after, the lightning dissipated, and the man stood up and walked out of the door. He looked up at the bright moonlight, and a woman in purple slowly appeared in his eyes.
The man raised his palm and slowly took off his mask. There was no trace of blood on his fair face, just like a piece of white paper without ink, which was a bit frighteningly white.
And this person was none other than Lu Yu, who had been practicing in the cave before, and whose heart was connected by strips of thunder.
Lu Yu took out an amethyst pendant from his arms. The hanging hole was empty, not even a rope.
He looked at the pendant and said with tears in his eyes: "Ali, I will take your dream and become the strongest formation master in the world step by step."
The dim light of the pendant looked a little dim under the moonlight, like a firefly in the abyss. It only had an inch of light and could not illuminate the abyss.
It's a pity that such a beautiful amethyst can only stay in Lu Yu's hands for the rest of its life.
Lu Yu and Ali were neighbors. The only difference between them was that Lu Yu's family was poor, his parents were weak and sick, and they had no money for medical treatment, so they passed away early.
Ali's family was prominent and one of the few well-known families in the area. Just one of her flowers was enough to match the thatched house where Lu Yu lived.
Lu Yu grew up with her, and they were both interested in formations. The two soon became friends who talked about everything. They went to school together and discussed formations together. Those days were Lu Yu's happiest days.
But the good times didn't last long. After Lu Yu's parents died, he could no longer go to school with Ali.
He had no choice but to say goodbye to Ali, holding the hundreds of spiritual source stones given to him by Ali in his hand, and walked away from home alone, constantly looking for an opportunity to change himself.
That year, Lu Yu was only nine years old. He struggled all the way and escaped death countless times.
It wasn't until the age of nineteen that he finally became a veritable formation master through his unremitting efforts, and thus earned some spiritual source stones.
When he rushed back to his hometown with a happy face and an amethyst pendant tied with a red thread in his hand, the first news he heard was the tragic news that Ali committed suicide.
From Ali's death to his arrival in his hometown, it was only seven days. After all, he came a step too late and failed to prevent the tragedy from happening.
He privately asked the neighbors and found out that Ali was forced to death by her father.
Ali's father wanted her to marry a rich and powerful family, but Ali refused, and was forced to commit suicide the night before the wedding.
Lu Yu stood in front of Ali's tombstone, untied the red thread from the amethyst pendant, wrapped it around the corner of the tombstone, and walked away with the pendant.
Since then, he has never returned to his hometown.
Because, on the night he left, his hometown had been reduced to ruins, and all the thousands of people in the town were buried in the ruins.
The formation source stone used by Lu Yu was exactly the hundreds of spirit source stones given to him by Ali, which took the lives of everyone in the town.
From then on, Lu Yu's only purpose in living was to become the strongest formation master in the world.
For this reason, he is willing to pay any price, just to achieve the name of the strongest formation mage, even if it costs his precious life, he will not hesitate.
In fact, when Lu Yu learned the news of Ali's suicide, his heart was already dead. Only this belief drove him until now.
"Senior brother, the disciples who went to the Zhuliu Mountains for training have all returned. I heard from them that a big demon has appeared in the Zhuliu Mountains. Master wants you to lead people to eliminate the demons. What do you think?" A man wearing a formation cloak said The disciple stood not far away and whispered a reminder.
When he came to report the news, he was often scolded by Lu Yu, so he did not dare to go up to disturb him, otherwise he would scold him in vain.
Moreover, Lu Yu was the first person in the history of the Spirit Clan who did not need to wear a formation cloak. Even the elders of the sect did not say anything. This shows that his status in the Spirit Clan is not generally high.
Lu Yu put away the amethyst pendant and said coldly: "I know."
Doushen Tower
"On the head, we are brothers."
"The five leaders are six sixty-six and eight horses."
Xuan Yi and Shan Ya were making fists, and downstairs there was a man with a scimitar on his waist, dressed in black, with a white scimitar embroidered on his chest, walking back and forth at the door of the second floor of Doushen Building, looking slightly... restless.
The shop assistant knocked on the door, and Shan Ya said with a displeased look on his face: "Who is it! Didn't you hear that we were doing business? What a disappointment! Come in."
Not long after, a man with a scimitar on his waist pushed open the door and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Yi..."
Xuan Yi looked dazed, and immediately interrupted: "Senior brother, just call me Xuan Yi."
"Yes, yes." The man said with a smile, "Xuan Yi, there is a big demon appearing in the Zhuliu Mountains. The elders want you to lead a team to kill the big monster first in the Zhuliu Mountains, so as to enhance the prestige of our sword house."
Xuan Yi's expression changed, he pointed at the man and said seriously: "Wait! Are you sure it's the Zhuliu Mountain Range?"
The man nodded.
Xuan Yiyi looked puzzled and said to himself: "That's not right. I just went to the Zhuliu Mountains half a month ago. There is no big monster there at all. Could it be that it escaped from somewhere else?"
Shan Ya's eyes were deep and he didn't speak.
The man affirmed: "Elders will not lie."
Xuan Yi said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you go back and report to the elders. Just say that I, Xuan Yi, can go alone. Too many people will get in the way."
"Okay, okay, senior brother, you have to set off quickly. You must not let other sects kill the big demon first, otherwise the elders will lose their face." The man reminded repeatedly.
Xuan Yi's eyes suddenly changed, he glared at him, and said seriously: "Okay! I will set off tonight, and I will arrive at the Zhuliu Mountains before dawn. Please don't worry, elders."
The man understood Xuan Yi's temper, so he stopped talking and turned to leave.
"Wherever there is a big demon, there will naturally be treasures. Leave these to me and leave quickly." Shan Ya was about to reach out to clean up the leftovers on the table, so she asked him to leave early.
Ke Xuan grabbed his wrist and said: "Leave these to me, don't forget, I was the one who cleaned up the dishes before, and this time is no exception."
Shan Ya advised: "It's getting late. It's still a long way from here to the Zhuliu Mountains. If you leave early, you can arrive earlier."
"Other sects will know about such a big event. I'm afraid they are already on their way to the Zhuliu Mountains. It doesn't matter if I go early or late, I won't be as fast as them." Xuan Yi put away the dishes and chopsticks. , while joking with him.
"The big demon is not an ordinary monster. Don't hold on when you go to the Zhuliu Mountains. Otherwise, if you don't kill the big demon, you will injure yourself instead." Shan Ya stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of the Zhuliu Mountains. , pretending to say it casually.
"I'm not a fool. I know when to advance and when to retreat." Xuan Yi finished clearing the dishes, took off the swords hanging on the wall, and hung them around his waist again.
Shan Ya stared at him and said, "The knife is up and the sword is down."
Xuan Yi has heard this sentence countless times. Whenever he is about to leave, Shan Ya will always say it when leaving, and never fails to say it.
Xuan Yi once asked him why the sword was on top and the sword was on the bottom.
Shan Ya only replied, this is the hometown of the Sword Emperor, and the east gate of Liangcheng is the Sword Emperor's home.
From then on, Xuan Yi no longer argued with him. Liangcheng had a talent like the Sword Emperor for thousands of years. Among the older generation in Liangcheng, the Sword Emperor was the god in their hearts.
"Let's go, let's go." Xuan Yi tied the sword to his left waist, placed his left hand on the handle, raised his right hand and waved, and left in a hurry.
Outside the east gate of Liangcheng
Zi Yang, Jia Juesheng, and Xiao Hai wanted to try their luck at the deserted sand ruins to see if they could pick up something valuable in the ruins. After all, there are good things in ancient ruins.
But when they heard that a big demon suddenly appeared in the Zhuliu Mountains, they changed their minds and walked in the direction of the Zhuliu Mountains.
Of course, it was Ziyang who made this decision.
"With the strength of the three of us, it would be like dying if we go there." Jia Juesheng looked at Ziyang and said, "Do you know what level of monster the big demon is?"
Ziyang carried Xiaohai on his back and replied casually: "I know. Isn't it just a monster in the realm of reincarnation? What's so great about it? It scares you."
"You said it very easily. Inflow, airflow, cycle of life, cycle of death, cycle of life and death. The big demon is the pinnacle of the cycle of death, which means it will soon become the king of beasts!" Jia Juesheng gritted his teeth and shouted at him, but The steps never stopped.
Xiaohai lay on Ziyang's back and suddenly said: "It's not like you have to deal with the big demon by yourself. Such a big thing has already spread throughout Liangcheng."
"Yes. And! Don't think that I don't know that all monsters called great demons are either in the realm of reincarnation or in the realm of death. How do you know that the great demon in the Zhuliu Mountains is at the peak of reincarnation?"
"It's possible that it just entered the realm of reincarnation, don't you think so, Xiao Hai." Zi Yang looked sideways at Xiao Hai, who nodded repeatedly.
Jia Juesheng pointed at him and said sternly: "Don't take any chances. Even the big demon in the realm of reincarnation is not something the three of us can deal with."
"Wealth can be obtained in danger. I don't believe that such a big thing will not alarm all the forces inside and outside Liangcheng. With them acting as thugs, it will be much easier for us. Haha!" Ziyang smiled broadly, as if he had planned it long ago. The plan was to fish in troubled waters.
Although Jia Juesheng complained a little, he also wanted to go in his heart. Danger and benefit coexisted. He didn't understand this truth.
However, at this moment, he did not have the spiritual source stone in his hand to set up the killing array, and he was not even sure about dealing with the big demon. Otherwise, he would not have so many complaints.
