In the Sumeru space, Shi Jiu looked at the huge water eye crystal in front of him with gleaming eyes.
Shi Jiu couldn't help but touch it a few more times. The cold and smooth crystal was very textured, and the khaki water ripples inside it were quite conspicuous, like a whole piece of shiny golden nanmu.
"This trip to Liashui County is so worth it!" Shi Jiu couldn't help but say.
In addition to the huge crystal in front of him, another big gain was to watch a battle between soul realm experts. Although the time was short, the close viewing and personal experience not only made Shi Jiu feel a lot, but also Shocking.
Fights between Soul Realm masters are not something you can see casually, especially in remote areas of Youlong Continent. Soul Realm masters here are extremely rare, and battles between Soul Realm peak monks are already rare. , let alone a battle between soul-level figures, and there were five of them at once.
Shi Jiu began to sit cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and began to experience and comprehend carefully.
Especially the final blows between the old master of the Ghost Fire Sect and the Supreme Elder of the Peerless Palace, that scene was deeply imprinted in Shi Jiu's mind.
At this moment, Shi Jiu's mind was constantly replaying the final shocking blow from both sides. The ghostly hand shrouded in black mist, the hell flames spewing from the pale skull mark, the golden palm blooming with light, the powerful two-color mushroom cloud, all of this happened in the electric light and flint, and the effect produced was so shocking. .
This scene kept replaying in Shi Jiu's mind. Every time he replayed it, Shi Jiu felt overwhelmed with inspiration. A special charm was right in front of him, but he couldn't catch it no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't feel it, just a little bit.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Shi Jiu calmed down and encouraged himself in his heart.
That scene kept replaying in Shi Jiu's mind. Gradually, Shi Jiu got closer to that special charm during the replay, and then began to have a faint understanding of it.
"It's so special. I feel like I'm in a dark universe, and I'm about to be assimilated into it!" Shi Jiu was even more shocked by this hint of experience.
This is something that has never happened before. It is not the first time for Shi Jiu to observe and experience other people's battle scenes, but it has never been so special. Is this the perception of a soul-level strongman fighting?
"No, this charm comes from the ghostly hands... What exactly is that?" Shi Jiu shook his head, and then he was immersed in the replay of the battle scene again.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Shi Jiu opened his eyes, there was an expression of surprise on his face.
"This is the law of darkness! I didn't expect that I actually understood a trace of the law of darkness!"
After replaying it in his mind countless times, Shi Jiu finally fully understood that special charm, and understood and knew from it that this was the law of darkness and a kind of law of the great avenue. Although he only had a hint of understanding, it was enough to make Shi Jiu proud.
"I have comprehended a little bit of the Dark Law, and I will be able to practice the Black Mang Fist soon!" After comprehending the Dark Law, the most practical thing Shi Jiu gained was that he could practice the Black Mang Fist, although he still needed to open up the inner body. There are three special meridians, but that is not too difficult for Shi Jiu. After all, he has had the experience of opening special meridians before. He only needs to make various preparations and there should be no big problem.
At this moment, Shi Jiu was in a very happy mood. He originally thought that his trip to the Shuimu Mountains would be a fruitless one, but unexpectedly he made a grand turn at the last moment. Not only did he get a large Shuimu crystal, but he also watched it in person. A rare battle between soul-level powerhouses, from which a hint of dark law was understood.
"Next, we need to prepare special items to open up the meridians." Shi Jiu determined what he was going to do next, and planned to go to Fengbaozhai to buy the items needed for this.
After leaving the Xumi space, Shi Jiu lay on the bed and prepared to sleep comfortably.
The next morning, Shi Jiu left the town and prepared to go to the nearest large city.
The shocking battle that happened yesterday must have spread throughout Liashui County, and even other nearby counties may have received the news. Although Shi Jiu personally experienced it yesterday, he only witnessed the end and did not know the beginning. Such a big event needs to be understood as a whole.
In the afternoon, Shi Jiu came to the nearest large city, Dian City.
Dian City is a large and prosperous city, ranking among the top five in the entire Lioshui County.
Shi Jiu found a luxurious restaurant and went up to the top floor. Those who could eat and drink here were of high status, and he was exposed to a lot of news. As soon as we reached the entrance to the top floor, there was a lot of discussion inside, and it was almost full of people.
Shi Jiu found an empty seat and sat down. After ordering some wine and food, he began to listen attentively.
Sure enough, yesterday's battle was not hidden from the world at all, and everyone in the whole building was talking about it.
"Do you know? Yesterday I was drinking here too. I just looked up at the northern sky and saw that there were countless rainbows flying across the sky in an instant. At first I didn't take it seriously, but now I know it. It turned out to be from the Ghost Fire Sect. People." In the restaurant, a middle-aged man said.
"It's not just people from the Ghost Fire Sect, I heard that there are also people from Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace, and these people are suspected to be soul level powerhouses!" Another person beside him added.
"People from Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace? And they are also suspected to be soul-level people? Are you kidding me? Why did they come to my Liashui County?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise.
"Don't you know that the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect transcended the heavenly tribulation and advanced to the soul realm, and provoked people from Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace, and then the two sides started fighting?"
"Really or not? I only heard that people from the Ghost Fire Sect ambushed people from the Jueshi Palace in Tonglin Palace a while ago. Is this their revenge?" The middle-aged man was a little doubtful.
"Retaliation is for sure, Jueshi Palace is not a good person, but the most important thing is that we don't want another strong soul player in the Ghost Fire Sect to threaten their status. After all, Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace are known as the two heroes. We will not allow a powerful force to rival them."
"Yeah, that makes sense." The middle-aged man nodded.
"You are all wrong. Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace are chasing people from the Ghost Fire Sect for more than just these things. The most important thing is the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and Hunyuan Palace. This has seriously affected Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace, and this has led to that The two factions are chasing each other,” another person said.
"It turned out to be like this, so what happened in the end?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I heard that the Ghost Fire Sect had the numerical advantage, but Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace did not take advantage, so both parties left separately."
"Well, the ending is a bit bland, not many people died." The middle-aged man was a little disappointed.
"Who said no one died? Don't you know how many disciples of the Ghost Fire Sect have died?"
"Oh, really?"
"This is not the point. The point is that the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect successfully passed through the catastrophe and became a genuine soul realm powerhouse. In this way, the Ghost Fire Sect has two soul realm powerhouses, who are no worse than Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace. ”
"Listening to what you said, it's true. The Ghost Fire Sect is the power of our Liashui County, so won't our Liashui County also become famous?" The middle-aged man said happily.
"It doesn't matter to me whether I am famous or not, but from now on our Liashui County may become a place of right and wrong!"
"How do you say this?" The middle-aged man was puzzled.
"After this battle, the Ghost Fire Sect has become enemies with Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace. After that, the two sides will inevitably collide and fight with each other. In addition, there will be an additional Hunyuan Palace, and the situation will only become more chaotic." The speaker shook his head and said. .
"There's nothing to worry about. The only people fighting are sectarians like them. We, the common people, should be fine as long as we stay away."
"That makes sense. Come on, let's continue drinking."
On the other side, the food and wine had been served. Shi Jiu was drinking while thinking about what everyone had just said.
The leader of the Ghost Fire Sect successfully survived the catastrophe and entered the Soul Realm. The peerless Gong Tong Lindian came to attack him. In the end, neither party gained any advantage...
It is foreseeable that there will be no peace here in the future. The two parties may collide frequently, and battles are inevitable.
But all this has nothing to do with Shi Jiu. He is not worried. He just hopes that the two sides will fight as far away from ordinary people as possible in the future.
The information he wanted to know has been known. The next step is that Shi Jiu plans to leave here and go to Lanhai County to find Jin Yuner to buy some necessary items to open up the meridians.
Duchuan County, Duchuan Linhai.
The Supreme Elder of Jueshi Palace sat on the elder's chair.
"Elder, how are you?" The great elder of Jueshi Palace stood aside respectfully.
"What else can we do? The leader of the Ghost Fire Sect has entered the soul realm, but he was also injured by me. It is estimated that he will not show up within three months." The blond old man took a sip of tea and said.
"The bad breath finally came out. It's a pity that the insidious guy entered the soul realm. Why didn't the disaster kill him?" Although the bad breath came out, the great elder was still unwilling.
"This matter is over. Next, we will form an alliance with Tonglin Palace. Hunyuan Palace has confirmed that it will form an alliance with the Ghost Fire Sect. We can no longer sit back and wait for death. Go ahead and order all disciples to be on guard and not to leave Duchuan County in the near future. More Don't go to Liashui County, wait until the palace master comes out of seclusion." The blond old man ordered.
"Yes, Supreme Elder."
Tonglin City, Tonglin Palace.
"Elder Taishang, you are finally back, are things going well?" Ren Tianye asked hurriedly. He had returned to Tonglin City with the second elder and others yesterday.
"The Master of the Ghost Fire Sect has entered the Soul Realm, but he was injured by us. He should have restrained himself in recent months. However, their alliance with Hunyuan Palace is a foregone conclusion and will definitely pose a threat to our Tonglin Palace. I have decided to form an alliance with Jueshi The palace will form an alliance to deal with the current situation, but this matter will have to wait for the palace master to come out of seclusion and be decided by the palace master." The Supreme Elder of Tonglin Palace said with a gloomy face.
Hearing what the Supreme Elder said, Ren Tianye and others looked worried. The situation in the future would definitely be dangerous. A collision between the two allied parties would be inevitable, and a life-and-death fight would be inevitable.
"Where is the great elder? Why didn't you see him?" asked the Supreme Elder of Tonglin Palace.
"Go back to the Supreme Elder. The Great Elder is guarding the palace master's secret room."
"Yes, I understand." The Supreme Elder of Tonglin Palace nodded, and then said: "In the recent days, the disciples in the palace are asked not to go out to other counties, especially Liashui County, and try to stay in this county."
"yes."
Lanhai County, the residence of Shuntian Escort Bureau in Lanming City.
"Master, we have received news that the supreme elders of Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace went to Liashui County to attack and kill the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect." The second elder of the Shuntian Escort Bureau ran into the hall in a panic.
"Don't panic, what will be the result?" Dong Tianling sat at the head of the table and comforted him.
"It probably didn't succeed. Someone saw the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect returning to the sect." The second elder said.
"It seems that the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect has also entered the Soul Realm, but what is more important is their alliance with Hunyuan Palace. What do you think, Great Elder?" Dong Tianling asked.
"Captain, there is no doubt that the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Hunyuan Palace will affect us. Although it will have an impact on us, it is still within the controllable range. The most anxious ones are Jueshi Palace and Tonglin Palace. Judging from their sneak attack on the leader of the Ghost Fire Sect. , the two factions are probably going to form an alliance." The elder of Shuntian Escort Agency, who was sitting at the head of the elders' table below, said.
"Well, what the elder said is right, and what I'm most worried about is that those two parties will recruit people everywhere, and they will definitely find our Shuntian Escort Bureau when the time comes." Dong Tianling said worriedly.
"Helmsman, what should we do?" the second elder on the side asked quickly.
"Great Elder, what is your opinion?" Dong Tianling did not answer immediately, but asked the Great Elder beside him.
After hearing Dong Tianling's question, the Great Elder thought for a moment and then said slowly: "No matter which side we join, we will attract hostility and threats from the other side. How about we not help each other and not participate in their fight?"
"Well, that's it. In addition, please tell me that there is no need to pick up any more escorts going to Liashui County. The disciples in the escort agency should try to stay in the county and not go out." Dong Tianling said solemnly.
"Yes, helmsman." The second elder nodded.
"Master, will Xiao Huzi still be allowed to go to the Secret Realm of Lost Dreams in half a year? There will definitely not be peace there by then." The great elder asked.
"You must go. The Secret Realm of Lost Dreams is a place of trial. You can't miss it. When the time comes, the Great Elder will personally lead the team there, so that safety can be guaranteed."
"Yes, Captain."
…
In two days, the battle between powerful souls in Liashui County spread throughout the surrounding counties. Almost everyone was talking about it, especially some major factions who were secretly making various preparations in advance to deal with the uncertainty in the future. situation.
