They must have sensed that Li Xiuping was catching up from behind, and they must have been worried that Li Xiuping would attack them, so everyone speeded up at the same time, and soon caught up with those in the academy.
Everyone in the academy was originally worried about Li Xiuping's safety, so they didn't walk very fast. Now that they were caught up, they didn't see their junior uncle. They couldn't help but feel a little worried. They moved even slower, but because the stairs were too narrow, they couldn't get out of the way. , so we can only continue to climb upward.
Fortunately, although the stairs seemed very long, they soon reached the end, and what appeared in front of everyone was a huge open space.
After reaching the open space, Xuyuan and others moved out of the way, allowing the Taiyi Pavilion group to pass first, waiting for Li Xiuping.
The monks in Xianglu Mountain did not stay behind, but ran forward with the Taiyi Pavilion gang. However, the monsters in Butterfly Valley chose to stay. Apparently they had decided to stand with Li Xiuping and others. As for the treasure Something like that comes second.
As the Taiyi Pavilion gang left, Li Xiuping also came to this open space.
Seeing that Li Xiuping was fine, everyone in the academy relaxed.
If there is something really wrong with this young uncle, it is hard to say whether they can leave the ruins of the ancient battlefield, let alone the fact that they can't explain it when they go back.
As long as this little uncle is here, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, they don't have to worry at all.
After Li Xiuping arrived at the open space, he did not rush to chase those people. Instead, he first made sure that no one in the academy was in danger, and then looked at the female cultivators in Butterfly Valley.
Li Xiuping was actually a little surprised that these female cultivators from Butterfly Valley chose to stay, but he was not too surprised. After all, he knew a lot about the situation between the demon clan and the Taoist family. Now that the Taoist clan wants to deal with him, Li Xiuping, then the demon clan As long as you stand with him, you can join forces to deal with the Taoist disciples.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Even if there is no relationship, a temporary alliance is completely feasible, not to mention that Li Xiuping just had a close relationship with the demon clan.
On the other side of Xianglu Mountain, Li Xiuping felt that it would be better to have less contact in the future. Whether it was the previous evaluation of Xianglu Mountain by the senior swordsman, the behavior of the young monk during the subsequent challenge in the arena, or the current situation. It shows that the people in Xianglushan may be able to have appropriate contact, but they must not be trusted.
Li Xiuping looked at the group of female cultivators in Butterfly Valley and asked with a smile: "Don't you want to get the treasure as soon as possible?"
The group of female cultivators in Butterfly Valley did not answer directly, but smiled and said, "Master Li doesn't seem to be in a hurry."
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Before we entered the ruins, we encountered two Nascent Soul stage ferocious beasts. After entering the ruins, we still don't know what dangers we will encounter. It doesn't mean whoever enters the ruins first will get it first. A treasure."
The female cultivator from Butterfly Valley who was talking to Li Xiuping outside said with a smile: "We think so too, of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that by following Mr. Li, we will definitely get more benefits. "
Li Xiuping continued: "If you act alone, you may be able to get the greatest benefit. But if you choose to join us, the greatest benefit can only be mine. This is the ownership of the ruins in the next three hundred years. Is it possible that you, Butterfly Valley, will Don’t you want to take a gamble?”
The female cultivator shook her head and said: "It's too difficult. Not to mention that the ruins are extremely dangerous and there are so many competitors. The key is that Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower have obviously reached a cooperation. If they meet in the ruins, they will occupy They have the advantage and there is no reason not to take action.”
Li Xiuping nodded and said nothing.
The Butterfly Valley alliance is much better than dealing with it alone, so Li Xiuping naturally has no reason to refuse.
Li Xiuping moved forward and said: "In that case, let's join forces. I can't guarantee anything else. If the academy can really get the most benefits, I can guarantee that your Butterfly Valley can get the second best benefits." In the academy.”
At this point, he hesitated.
After a while, Li Xiuping continued: "Anyway, it is a fact that Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower are joining forces, and they are very likely to take action against us, so I have an idea."
Everyone looked at Li Xiuping, waiting for him to express his thoughts.
Li Xiuping didn't hesitate and said directly: "We can strike first. There is no need to wait for them to take action and we can only respond passively."
Li Xiu Ping originally thought that his idea would surprise everyone, but he did not expect that neither the people in the academy nor the female cultivators in Butterfly Valley would be too surprised.
This is really beyond Li Xiuping's expectation. It's just that the female cultivators in Butterfly Valley had similar thoughts. No one in the academy should have such thoughts.
Li Xiuping soon felt bitter in his heart ^_^ Everyone in the courtyard saw it too simply.
These people can become academy disciples, can be selected to participate in the Seven Holy Lands Conference, can practice to the golden elixir stage at this age, and have studied in the academy for so many years, they must not have studied in vain.
For a long time, they have called themselves junior uncle and regarded themselves as their elders. Li Xiuping could not help but put himself in the position of an elder, but he ignored the fact that he was actually older than These academy disciples are younger, their cultivation level is lower than these academy disciples, and their understanding and contact with the world of cultivation are far inferior to these academy disciples.
If he could have such thoughts, the disciples in the academy must have already had them, but he didn't express them because he was a junior uncle.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuping couldn't help but smile.
The reason why I always felt that these people needed his protection, and everyone in the academy felt so too, was just because of the strength he had shown, just because of his status as a junior uncle, and just because they all felt so.
Li Xiuping can be sure that without his presence, these academy disciples can protect themselves and are fully capable of protecting themselves.
The female nun in Butterfly Valley asked: "Then how and when do we do it?"
Li Xiuping muttered: "Let's take a look at the situation first, adapt accordingly, and never have a head-on conflict. Not only will both parties suffer losses, but if too much noise is made, the outside world may notice it, and there will be trouble when we go out. .Since we have to strike first, we naturally cannot let the other party notice it, and we must not suffer any losses here, so it is best to find opportunities to defeat them one by one."
Everyone in Butterfly Valley and Academy nodded at the same time.
With the decision made, everyone stopped discussing the matter and continued walking deeper into the ruins to start looking for the so-called treasures.
After all, the main purpose of entering the ruins this time is to find treasures to determine the ranking among the major holy places. For Li Xiuping, what he needs to find is a treasure that is more powerful than that willow tree, because that It is directly related to his practice and whether he can form an elixir as soon as possible and become a golden elixir stage monk.
As we continue to go deeper, the surrounding scene is no different from before. There are still broken eaves and broken walls everywhere, and everything is devastated.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown. Could there really be treasures in such a ghost place?
In fact, not only Li Xiuping had the whole idea, but everyone also had this idea. After all, none of them had ever been to this so-called ancient battlefield ruins.
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "If you knew this, you should have followed those people in Xianglu Mountain earlier."
Everyone was stunned, and then Huang Qing nodded and said: "Indeed, among our generation of disciples, only those from Xianglu Mountain have entered the ruins of the ancient battlefield. They must know the ruins of the ancient battlefield best, and naturally they know where to find them. To the treasure."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "The previous arrangement seemed fair, but in fact it was still unfair. At least in this ruins, Xianglu Mountain has a great advantage. It's just that the idea was proposed suddenly, and due to the conflict between us and Taiyi Pavilion, , I’m afraid even those old guys didn’t take it into consideration.”
Everyone nodded.
Indeed, when entering Butterfly Valley, they emphasized how to contact Li Xiuping and how to guard against Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower. There was almost no mention of Xianglu Mountain.
Because of Li Xiuping's appearance, everyone's attention was either attracted by Li Xiuping or by things related to Li Xiuping. Except for the forces involved, both Xianglu Mountain and Piaoxue City were naturally ignored.
Li Xiuping was certain that those in Piaoxue City should have followed those in Xianglu Mountain to where the treasures might be found. Only the forces involved were still fighting and thinking about their own grievances. How to get rid of the opponent while looking for treasure.
From this, it can be concluded that Piaoxue City and Xianglu Mountain must be connected, and there may be some inside story with the City Lord's Mansion.
Sure enough, there is no absolute fairness in things in this world, but there are some hidden unfairnesses that most people cannot see.
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Let's move on first."
Everyone nodded at the same time. Anyway, there is no better way now.
As everyone continued to move forward, the feeling of depletion of Qi no longer appeared. Li Xiuping was a little curious and simply asked: "What was the situation like when you entered Butterfly Valley?"
Everyone in Butterfly Valley was stunned.
Li Xiuping continued: "Did you also encounter a phantom formation? Or some other obstacle?"
The leading female cultivator in Butterfly Valley nodded and said: "We encountered a killing formation, but Butterfly Valley happened to have similar formation records, so it did not cause any obstacles."
She looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Did Young Master Li encounter a phantom formation?"
Li Xiuping nodded and fell into thought.
It seems that the location of this investment has already been arranged by the City Lord's Mansion.
Judging from the time it took for everyone to enter the ruins, it should have taken about the same amount of time to remove the obstacles on the periphery of the ruins, and the obstacles must be corresponding.
It was naturally impossible for Li Xiuping to know what situations the other major holy places encountered, but judging from the situation in Butterfly Valley, the obstacles encountered by the major holy places should be obstacles that they can overcome.
Butterfly Valley encountered the killing formation, and Butterfly Valley happened to have similar formation records. Li Xiuping and others encountered the phantom formation because Li Xiuping happened to have wine to eliminate the fatigue caused by the phantom formation. The main reason was that The dragon with a black head can break the illusion formation.
In fact, even Li Xiuping himself didn't know how the jet black dragon was able to break through the illusion formation. Even if he and the jet black dragon could completely communicate spiritually, he still couldn't figure out how the jet black dragon knew. How to break the formation seems to be an innate ability.
This shows that the power of the City Lord's Mansion is far more terrifying than he imagined.
A Piaoxue City not only knows the situation of the Seven Holy Lands, but also everyone participating in the conference. If it is an enemy of such a force, it has almost no chance of winning.
According to the ranking of the major forces in the spiritual world, the Seven Holy Lands are followed by the Four Cities, and after the Four Cities are the Three Mountains, and finally the Two Immortals.
The Four Cities can completely master all the information about the Seven Holy Lands, so the Three Mountains must also have all the information about the Four Cities. The Second Immortal must also know the Three Mountains very well.
A four-city city is so terrifying. If it really wants to stand on the opposite side of Kunlun Mountain, Li Xiuping really doesn't know why he should fight against it?
I learned that it was because of this that Kunlun Mountain, one of the three mountains, was so afraid of Jiu Xian, one of the two immortals. In other words, if it hadn't been for the appearance of the senior Jiu Xian, Kunlun Mountain would have taken action against him long ago. And it is completely possible for him to not even know how he died.
He had originally thought that he would be able to meet Chen Wanrong soon and head to Kunlun Mountain in a strong manner. It was precisely because of this spirit and this idea that after the first sword was made, he It was directly named Shake Kunlun.
Now think about it, how arrogant and ignorant this is, how ignorant it is of the sky and the earth.
In just a few years, Li Xiuping's understanding of the entire spiritual world and his own understanding have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The main reason is reality.
Previously, Li Xiuping thought that after building the foundation, he would embark on a smooth path to immortality. From then on, he would advance all the way without any hindrance. With his previous progress, it would not take long for him to reach a very high level. At a high level, when he met the Master of Jiu Xian and said that he was a Master of Jiu Xian, Li Xiuping not only didn't believe it, but also claimed that he would be the future Sword Immortal.
At that time, Li Xiuping was ridiculed by the senior swordsman, saying that there was no swordsman in the world who could use a hatchet. At that time, Li Xiuping didn't care. He felt that sooner or later he would be able to forge the most powerful magic weapon in the world and become the most powerful in the world. The sword fairy.
But the fact is that now even entering the golden elixir stage has become a luxury for him. In addition, after realizing the various backgrounds and methods of these hidden sects in the spiritual world, he realizes that he used to sit in the sky and observe the so-called one. It's so passionate, it's like a joke.
Under the current situation, let alone going to Kunlun Mountain to find Chen Wanrong, let alone fighting against the entire Kunlun Mountain on his own, it is still unknown whether he can successfully form the elixir within two hundred years before his life comes to an end.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuping suddenly felt bitter.
However, Li Xiuping did not lose his fighting spirit because of this. Instead, he felt that the more this happened, the harder he should work hard and seize every day and every moment he has now. Seize every opportunity to become stronger and change yourself.
For example, now, finding a treasure more powerful than the willow tree in the ruins can change the problem of being unable to form pills.
Only by forming an elixir as soon as possible and becoming a golden elixir stage monk can you continue to climb higher and climb up step by step until you can stand against Kunlun Mountain and go to find Chen Wanrong in an open and honest manner. moment...
Just when Li Xiuping was distracted, a loud noise suddenly came from the front. Looking at the movement, it seemed that someone was fighting, and the situation was not easy.
Everyone looked at each other first, and then all looked at Li Xiuping in unison.
Li Xiuping said directly: "Go over and take a look."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone speeded up and rushed towards the place where the noise came from.
As everyone got closer, it turned out that someone was fighting here, and they were disciples from Xianglu Mountain and Piaoxue City.
As Li Xiuping had guessed before, the disciples from Piaoxue City had been following Xianglu Mountain along the way, and judging from the current situation, Xianglu Mountain and Piaoxue City were completely united.
Looking at it this way, I'm afraid it was already arranged by the City Lord's Mansion.
First, Taiyi Pavilion and Guanxing Tower chose to unite because they wanted to deal with Li Xiuping. Then, in order to defend against Taiyi Pavilion and Guanxing Tower, Butterfly Valley chose to unite with Guanchao Academy led by Li Xiuping. Then only Piao Guan was left. Snow City and Xianglu Mountain.
If these two powers do not join forces, but choose to go alone, the benefits they can get will be far less than those of the other four holy places. Moreover, once a conflict occurs, whether it is Xianglu Mountain or Piaoxue City alone, It is difficult to compete with the other four holy places that have been united.
Therefore, the best way is to unite Xianglu Mountain and Piaoxue City. In this way, the six Holy Land disciples, combined in pairs, will become three equally powerful entities. The purpose of Taiyi Pavilion's alliance with Star Observation Tower is to deal with Li Xiuping. There will inevitably be struggles between forces, but the alliance between Xianglu Mountain and Piaoxue City does not involve them at all in the grievances related to Li Xiuping, and they completely stay out of it. In addition, Xianglu Mountain is the owner of the last ruins and knows the ruins best. So, then After the two families joined forces, they were naturally able to navigate the ruins of the ancient battlefield, with Yaoyao leading the other four Holy Lands.
This calculation is simply perfect.
It's just that this is the ruins of an ancient battlefield after all, and it's full of many location variables, and these variables, whether it's Xianglu Mountain, Piaoxue City, or the City Lord's Mansion, probably haven't been taken into account.
Just like the situation that the disciples of Piaoxue City and Xianglu Mountain are encountering at this moment.
In front, the Xianglu Mountain disciples and the Piaoxue City disciples stood together. More than ten people formed a circle, and around them, countless ghosts wearing armor surrounded them. The key is that the aura of those ghosts is not weak at all. , the worst ones are all in the Golden Core stage, and the strongest ones are even comparable to those in the Nascent Soul stage.
Under the attacks of these ghosts one after another, even if the two holy places joined forces, it was a little difficult to resist for a while.
Li Xiuping looked at the situation ahead, smiled slightly, and already had an idea in his mind.
