The breeze blew by, and under the sunlight, the entire Shiwan Mountain was completely silent.
From a distance, there are almost no living creatures, not even a bird.
The entire mountain exudes a gloomy and terrifying aura of death.
And just as the death aura filled the air, six figures streaked across the sky like meteors, speeding towards the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains that could not be seen at a glance.
Suddenly, the six figures gradually slowed down.
At the same time, a voice resounded: "According to the position given by Ximen Yun, it should be right in front!"
Ximen Tailang stepped forward and took a look at the surrounding environment. Although it was still desolate and terrifying, he could vaguely see the differences.
"Amitabha!"
"The poor monk feels that this mountain is filled with evil and death energy, and there must be monsters there all the time!"
At this moment, Fahai suddenly said the Buddha's name and looked solemnly at the dead jungles below.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions began to become serious.
Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and said: "Master, can you feel whether these evil spirits have been around for a long time, or have just appeared recently?"
Everyone looked at Fahai.
At this moment, they already knew that Fahai seemed to be more sensitive to the auras of these demons.
Moreover, after entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they were all somewhat uncomfortable due to the influence of the environment here. Even if they were walking in the air, they would always feel an oppressive atmosphere.
But Fa Hai, on the other hand, seemed not to be affected at all.
Everyone knows that this is because of Fa Hai’s cultivation method.
From Fahai, everyone sensed a sacred and majestic aura, which seemed to be able to conquer such dark and damp things.
Fahai frowned and said: "Most of them are leftover from the long-term activities of creatures with demonic energy, but there are also a few demonic energies that only appeared recently, about... within half a month!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
"That means that the demons also know the news about this immortal ruins?" Ximen Tailang's face turned ugly.
"Human monks have been active so frequently recently, how could the demons not know about it? What's more, this is the territory of the demons!"
Lu Dongbin shook his head and said that he practiced Chunyang Swordsmanship, so except for Fahai, he was a little more relaxed than others.
"It seems that this time we not only have to face threats from other forces, but also have to guard against demons!" Master Wu Ya sighed slightly.
"Let's act according to the opportunity!" Li Xiaoyao said.
Everyone nodded, knowing the danger of this operation.
Although this place is just outside the Shiwan Mountain, it still belongs to the territory of the demons. With the nature of the demons, they know that there are immortal ruins in the world, and they will not miss it no matter what.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Ximen Tailang: "How far is it?"
"It should be right in front!" Ximen Tailang said.
"Let's go!"
Li Xiaoyao nodded and wanted to move forward.
At this moment, Lu Dongbin suddenly waved his hand: "Wait!"
Everyone was puzzled and followed his gaze, and saw that in the desolate jungle below, two figures suddenly appeared at some point, one in front of the other, one man and one woman. The man seemed to be running, and the woman seems to be chasing...
"Yuan Daofeng, how long are you going to hide?"
The woman yelled, her voice was clear, but her beautiful face was filled with a hint of sadness, and she was about to cry.
The man stopped immediately, sighed slightly, turned around, revealing a handsome face.
He looked at the pretty woman and sighed: "Junior sister, I really have something to do, and I'm not hiding from you. When I finish this matter, I will go back to find you!"
"You liar!"
The woman said angrily: "You said last time that you would come back as soon as you finished the work. You have been doing the work for ten years and you still haven't finished it? And there is no news at all!"
"If Senior Brother hadn't heard the news about the emergence of immortal relics here this time, and guessed that you would definitely come, I don't know when I would find you!"
There was a look of embarrassment on the man's face, and he said with a sneer: "Um...junior sister, senior brother, I owe you a favor. I swear, just for the last time, I will come back to you after I finish the matter for you!"
"What kind of favor can you owe that you haven't paid in ten years? Senior brother said that you are greedy for the prosperity of the world and are unwilling to go back to practice cultivation. Tell yourself, is that true?"
There was a hint of doubt on the woman's face, and she looked at him in disbelief.
"Ahem... Senior brother, he is slandering me again!"
The man said helplessly: "I really owe a favor and can't go back. Junior sister, believe me, I will go back immediately after I finish the work this time!"
"Who do you owe me a favor? Just kill him!"
The woman snorted first, then showed a trace of worry on her pretty face. She looked at the man and said: "Third Senior Brother, this time the immortal ruins appear, there are many crises. Senior Brother asked me to advise you not to go into this muddy water. You should go back with me. Bar!"
"well……"
The man turned sideways with a melancholy look on his face: "Junior sister, you don't understand!"
"The arena is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships!"
"I owe others a favor, so I should find a way to repay it. How can you advise me to repay a favor with a favor?"
"I don't think you can repay a favor with a grudge?"
At this moment, a cold snort sounded, and a burly figure came from a distance and looked at the man coldly.
"Second Senior Brother, are you here too?!" the woman said in surprise.
The handsome young man's face changed, and he looked at the burly man: "Second...Second Senior Brother!"
"You still have the nerve to call me Second Senior Brother?!"
The burly man snorted and walked up to the woman: "You coveted worldly prosperity and went down the mountain privately, but you offended the people you shouldn't have offended. You were restrained by others and did not dare to declare yourself as a master, but you helped others use the secret skills of the master to break through. Treasure hunting, you think I don’t know?”
The young man's face turned pale: "Second Senior Brother, I..."
The burly man looked at him: "Master taught us four secret techniques back then. You were the last one to go up the mountain, so you could only choose the Faqiu lineage. Although this lineage requires entering the world to truly practice Taoism, Master was Because joining the world will bring you into trouble, so before you die, you told the four of us to never join the world and ask us to take more care of you."
"But since you can't resist the temptation to go down the mountain, then you have to go down. But you got into trouble, why don't you ask us for help?"
"My senior brother and sister grew up together and practiced together for so many years. Where do you put us?"
"I……"
Looking at the angry look on the man's face, the young man's face turned pale, but a hint of shame flashed in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Second Senior Brother, for making you and First Senior Brother worry!"
The burly man snorted coldly: "I wouldn't worry about you, if it weren't for my junior sister pestering me every day and asking me to..."
"Second senior brother!"
A blush flashed across the woman's face, she glared at the burly man, then hesitantly looked at the handsome young man and said, "Third Senior Brother, just come back with us!"
"Who have you offended? The worst we can do is kill him together and then hide far away so that the people behind him can't find us!"
The young man sighed and said, "Junior sister, we...can't afford to offend the people I offend!"
"Is he asking you to help him obtain the inheritance of this immortal relic and then let you go?" the burly man asked.
The young man nodded, with a lonely expression on his face: "He promised me that as long as I help him one last time, he will let me go."
The burly man looked at him quietly, was silent for a moment, and said: "Let's go, this time the four of us brothers and sisters will join forces to help him one last time, and then we will go back to the mountain!"
The young man's face changed: "Elder brother is here too?!"
"What do you think?"
The burly man glared and said: "Elder brother has traveled to countless places because of you, just in case that person regrets it. In order to understand the poison on your body, eldest brother even sent you to touch the golden talisman!"
"Ah?! This..."
The young man's face suddenly turned ugly, and his eyes were full of emotion and guilt: "Second Senior Brother, I..."
"Okay, let's go quickly! Senior brother is still waiting for us!"
The burly man waved his hand and interrupted: "Let's go together to meet the prince of the ancient country who is known as the 'Born with the Supreme Sword Body'!"
"yes!"
Feeling guilty, the young man responded in a low voice, stopped talking, and took steps to keep up with the burly man.
The pretty woman, on the other hand, had a happy face and hurriedly walked up to the young man and asked questions. She was very happy.
The three figures gradually disappeared into the desolate mountains, and then gradually disappeared.
…
And this time.
Above the sky, a look of interest appeared on Lu Dongbin's face: "Left path?"
Master Wu Ya nodded: "It should be the thieves of the Zuo Dao lineage!"
"The captain of Mojin, the warrior of Xiling, the official of Faqiu, and the Taoist of Banshan."
"Years ago, the four inheritances merged into one, which caused quite a storm in the Chinese continent. Then they disappeared for no reason. Unexpectedly, they reappeared now!"
Li Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at the direction in which the three people were leaving: "Even the Thief Gate has appeared. It seems that this ancient immortal relic is really not that easy to get!"
At this time, Ximen Tailang also said: "And the 'born supreme sword body' they said, if you guessed correctly, should be the genius prince of the ancient Jingjue Kingdom, Ye Qingxuan!"
Ximen Tailang's face was solemn: "It is said that when the prince was born, thousands of swords in the surrounding area were roaring. He was born with a supreme sword body and a top-grade spiritual root. Even Emperor Dawu of the Dawu Dynasty was alarmed and went to the ancient country of Jingjue in person. I wanted to accept him as a disciple, but failed, and no one knows what happened next!"
"Supreme Sword Body?"
Li Xiaoyao and Lu Dongbin both had a look of surprise on their faces.
Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Dongbin chuckled and said: "If I have the chance, I really have to meet this genius who was born with a supreme sword body!"
Ximen Tailang smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that Prince Qingxuan was only born for more than 20 years, so he is still the same age as His Majesty!"
"No matter how talented I am, how can I be your opponent?"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Li Xiaoyao shook his head.
Lu Dongbin also chuckled and shook his head, looking at Ximen Qing who had been silent beside him.
They all have sword physiques, so they naturally know the horrors of sword cultivation.
The speed of swordsmanship practitioners cannot be judged by common sense at all, and it has little to do with spiritual roots.
If you have good understanding, even if your spiritual roots are average, as long as you can break through the realm of swordsmanship, your cultivation level can increase by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
For those with poor understanding, no matter how high your spiritual roots are, even if you practice for thousands of years, you may not be as good as those whose spiritual roots are not as high as yours.
This is the strange thing about sword cultivation!
"Let's go. Since they also want to inherit the relics, they will meet them sooner or later!"
Li Xiaoyao said lightly.
A few people nodded slightly, and then galloped straight towards the depths of the mountain.
"arrive!"
After a while, Ximen Tailang's voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked up, and sure enough they saw a huge valley with a radius of a hundred miles coming into view among the towering mountains in front of them!
Compared with the desolation of other areas, the valley is somewhat prosperous for some reason. At a glance, you can even see a lot of green grass. This was an extremely rare sight along the way.
At this time, the valley was already filled with people, old and young, dressed in different styles, and they all seemed to be waiting quietly in the valley for the ruins to be opened.
The most eye-catching thing is the group of people gathered in front of the clear light cliff in the innermost part of the valley.
They were dressed luxuriously and their aura was much deeper than the others in the valley.
Moreover, there were dozens of monsters lying around them.
In addition, there are also monsters entrenched around many groups of people in other places, but they are not as scary as the monster auras surrounding the innermost group of people.
These monsters are all tamed mounts.
Except for Cangzhou due to its remote location, there is no way to capture them. In the other six states in China, the trend of monster mounts is extremely popular, and there are even organizations or businesses that specialize in selling monster mounts.
There is no doubt that these people with mounts are not forces in Cangzhou.
Ximen Tailang glanced around the valley, and his eyes paused when he noticed a "group of eight" sitting somewhere behind the crowd with their eyes closed and meditating.
"They're over there!"
After everyone heard this, they headed towards that area without hesitation.
Noticing that someone else was coming, the crowd in the valley looked up one after another. When they sensed the majestic aura of the six people, many people's expressions changed slightly.
Another powerful force has arrived!
Five of them have returned to the void, and one has joined the Tao. Even outside of Cangzhou, not many forces can take advantage of this force!
Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't so many strong men, but even if there are, it's impossible to send them all out to fight for the ruins.
Anyone who can mobilize so many powerful people to perform tasks at will is a powerful force!
Many people are speculating on the identities of these six people.
At this time, Ximen's "eight-person group" also discovered Ximen Tailang who was coming. His face lit up and he quickly stood up to greet him.
Ximen Tailang didn't hesitate and took Li Xiaoyao and others down directly.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the other people in the valley were slightly condensed, and some people had a look of surprise on their faces.
Some of them have been waiting in the valley for a long time. They know each other very well about which faction everyone in the valley comes from.
Even if they came later, they also learned the identities of these powerful people in the valley from other people.
The Ximen family's "Group of Eight" was naturally known to everyone, but was not taken seriously.
It's just a small family in Cangzhou. In front of so many forces in the field, it doesn't matter!
Not only the Ximen family, but also people from the other five dynasties in Cangzhou were not taken seriously.
In their opinion, even the Personalized God Realm is considered a top powerhouse and does not deserve their too much attention.
But at this moment, I saw that these six people turned out to be members of the Ximen family, and there was also a Hedao among them!
Everyone was shocked!
Is this really a Cangzhou family?
Ximen Tailang naturally noticed the gazes of the other forces, but he didn't pay attention. He casually arranged a simple soundproof formation, and then said to the leader Ximen Yun: "These are all adults from the Xia Palace."
Ximen Yun and the seven people behind him had expected it, and they quickly saluted and said, "I have met you all, sir!"
Li Xiaoyao nodded, glanced around, and then said: "How long will it take for the ruins to be opened?"
Ximen Yun said respectfully: "Judging from the weakening of the seal, the seal will be completely dissipated around the early morning of the day after tomorrow!"
Everyone turned around at the same time and looked at the huge portal on the cliff. The portal was purple-gold in color, with dense patterns engraved on it. It exuded a terrifying aura like an ancient giant beast, which was intimidating.
However, above the portal, there is a transparent formation spread all over. Only the middle position is still hazy and cannot be seen clearly, but the haze is slowly dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Ximen Yun whispered: "The group of people sitting at the front of the portal are the strong men sent again by the Tianjian Dynasty."
"The old man in gold robes at the head is said to be a powerful person who has transcended the tribulation period. When he came here yesterday, he wanted to try to see if he could directly break the seal. Unexpectedly, he could not shake it at all. Instead, he was counterattacked by the seal. He must have been seriously injured. .”
Hearing this, everyone looked at the group of people at the front of the portal.
There are nine people in total, and the ones with the lowest cultivation level are all at the early stage of Hedao realm, which is the same level as Master Wuya.
The aura of the old man in gold robes at the head was indeed unfathomable, but as Ximen Yun said, his face was a little pale and his aura was even a little disordered. It must have been a backlash.
At this time, as if he sensed something, the golden-robed old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Xiaoyao and others.
For a moment, all six of them, including Master Wuya, were shocked, and then quickly looked away.
"It is indeed the Tribulation Stage, and he may not be an ordinary Tribulation Stage powerhouse!"
Li Xiaoyao said with a solemn expression.
"It seems there is some trouble!" Master Wuya also sighed.
The Tribulation Stage is already the eighth level of Qi training, and only the six dynasties may have such strong men!
Fahai smiled slightly and said calmly: "There may not be a chance, just act according to the opportunity!"
Everyone nodded solemnly.
"The ones next to them and behind them are the people from the ancient country. Apart from the Tianjian Dynasty, they are the strongest!" Ximen Yun continued.
Everyone turned around again and saw that the three people they had just seen outside the valley were among them. Beside the three people, there was an ordinary-looking young man, who should be the "eldest brother" of these three people.
However, the four of them seemed to have practiced some kind of hidden cultivation technique, and it was unclear what their cultivation level was.
On the contrary, the six people guarding the four were all strong in the Hedao realm, and each of them had a much higher level of cultivation than Master Wuya.
As for the prince of the ancient kingdom who was "born with the Supreme Sword Body", he was not among them.
Behind them are the people from the Thorn Dynasty, twelve in total, four of whom are in harmony and eight of whom are returning to the void. The leader is a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
After that, there were the powerful men from the major dynasties in Jianzhou and Cangzhou.
In addition to the Dawu Dynasty of Yongzhou, the dynasties of Cangzhou, Jianzhou, and Yongzhou have all gathered together!
However, there is also a strange force that does not belong to the three states...
"Where did those people come from?"
Li Xiaoyao looked at the group of people in the left corner of the cliff with their eyes closed, and asked Ximen Yun.
Everyone turned around and saw that there were seven people in the group. They were all old men with pale hair, three men and four women. They were dressed in weird clothes. They didn't look like those in Zhongshenzhou at all, but all seven of them were in the Hedao realm. Cultivation.
Ximen Yun shook his head at this time and said: "I don't know."
"They came three days ago, but they didn't communicate with anyone after they arrived. They just sat there and didn't move."
Master Wuya thought thoughtfully: "Looking at their dress, they don't look like people from the Seven States..."
Li Xiaoyao glanced at him expressionlessly: "What do you mean?"
Master Wu Ya smiled coquettishly.
Lu Dongbin shook his head helplessly and said, "What should we do now?"
"Wait!" Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged directly.
Although their strength at the moment was considered to be at the forefront of the field, he had no intention of changing positions.
Fighting for relics doesn’t necessarily mean getting close!
Seeing this, everyone also sat down and meditated with their eyes closed.
When other people in the valley saw this scene, they also withdrew their gazes.
The conversation between several people just now was separated by a soundproof formation. This formation is not very clever. Any monk who has cultivated the soul can break it, but no one will do such an offending thing if it is not necessary. .
So no one heard the conversation of several people.
However, they were still quite curious about the identities of Li Xiaoyao and others.
Of course, it's just curiosity.
The ruins are about to be opened. Since the Tianjian Dynasty doesn't care about their existence, no one will be stupid enough to cause trouble at this time.
In the valley, silence fell again.
But at the same time, the Xia Palace was extremely busy...
