Venerable Liang Ye didn't say much. He just waved his robe sleeves again and sent everyone in the universe in his sleeves out and scattered them in every corner of the Lingwu Forest.
Just as Hong Jie took a breath, a Nascent Soul monk next to him said, "No, our sect has the wrong number of geniuses."
Because of his voice, the other people's consciousness swept through the Lingwu Forest and identified everyone. As expected, many people were still missing.
"This." Hong Jie was shocked and had an ominous premonition. Everyone's eyes fell on Venerable Liang Ye.
Venerable Liang Ye just shook his head. This action made everyone take a breath of cold air, but they also understood that if they disappeared, they would never be seen again.
The faces of many Yuanying monks changed greatly. Many of these disappeared people were Tianjiao disciples. Such a loss was something that a sect and a family really could not bear, nor could they go back and explain.
However, since Lord Yuanshen was here, they had no way to question him and could only maintain a respectful posture.
At this moment, Venerable Liang Ye suddenly said, "There are changes in the Nine Heavens, so don't delay the Kunxu Competition."
Just this explanation made everyone's expressions unable to calm down.
"Sir, could it be that the demon has captured the Nine Heavens?"
"Sir, no way. The ruins of time are a barrier that has been built for millions of years. How could those demons enter?"
But Venerable Liang Ye did not answer their words. He only said that everything must be prepared in advance for them.
As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhao Ning and motioned for Zhao Ning to follow him to the Heavenly Palace.
But at this time, Zhao Ning's eyes swept across the Lingwu Forest. The fog in the Lingwu Forest had completely closed, and the entire forest fell into a dead silence. It seemed that because of the previous fog, the monsters living in the forest were also affected. It had quite an impact, but Zhao Ning's focus was not on that. She noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be some fiery power floating in the spirit mist forest.
What on earth could have such an ability to connect the first heaven and the space rift?
"Zhao Ning." Venerable Liang Ye called out.
Zhao Ning calmed down, bowed slightly, and heard him shout, "Follow me back to the Heavenly Palace."
Zhao Ning responded, and the three of them disappeared over the Lingwu Forest.
Once the three people were taken away, these Yuanying monks could no longer bear it and gathered around Hong Jie.
"Sect Master Hong, what's going on? Isn't it just considering the strength of the disciples or new elders of each family and sect? How could it get to this point?"
"Yes, Sect Leader Hong, in order to gain recognition from the Heavenly Palace, our sect's true heritage has almost come out. Now, I don't even see their shadow. This, this makes our sect what to do in the future."
"..."
More questions rang in Hong Jie's ears, but Hong Jie just looked up at the sky. He couldn't see the shadow of the Tiangong in the sky that seemed both ethereal and solid, but he always felt that there was a shadow under the light. Like a shadow hanging over the entire Kyushu.
"Maybe we can't even talk about the future."
Hong Jie suddenly murmured.
"Sect Master Hong, what do you mean by this?" Someone heard Hong Jie's words and asked with trembling lips.
In fact, it has reached the Nascent Soul realm, and many people have more or less known it through thousands of years of experience.
However, now that the disaster is approaching, they still choose to escape as their first reaction.
Hong Jie shook his head, "No need to say more, let's follow the requirements of Tiangong and count the cultivators of Kunxu's high-grade golden elixir and above."
With that said, he landed on the ground first, seemingly looking for the disciples of his sect.
The rest of the Nascent Soul cultivators looked at each other, and without further ado, they followed suit and flew down.
Zhao Ning returned to the Heavenly Palace with Venerable Liang Ye.
But there was a quarrel in the palace.
"It must be her fault. If it weren't for her, how could anyone contact Jiuzhou? She was the one who informed Jiuzhou and made the sages of Jiuzhou break the rules of the time, which caused the first heaven to descend on the spirit world. In the foggy forest.”
Zhao Ning heard the voice, which was sweet.
Stepping into the Heavenly Palace, all the Yuanshen Venerables were there except Venerable Jingwu who had deduced the number of days.
It was Yanran who spoke at this time, and it was Tinglan who was accused by Yanran.
Ting Lan straightened his back and said word by word, "I Ting Lan will never betray Tiangong or betray Master Zhao Ning. If you don't believe it, you can search for souls. I Ting Lan will never do anything." Resistant.”
"You..." Yanran pointed at Ting Lan in astonishment. She was extremely surprised by Ting Lan's attitude. For a moment, she felt that she had made a wrong judgment, but she still persisted, "You... you... I don't believe you, you They are people from Jiuzhou, you have inherited them for millions of years, and you have many cunning secret techniques that may be able to disguise the results of soul searching."
Tinglan did not look at her, but just stepped forward and said to all the Yuanshen venerables, "Your Majesty, Tinglan has not had any contact with that place since entering Jiuzhou. What's more, I have sworn by the law of heaven that I will communicate with you." Nine states will live and die together. I didn't expect this incident, but from what I heard from Lan, it might be related to the incident in Zhuzhou."
According to what Lan said, it was someone who was able to communicate with the people of Jiuzhou in Zhuzhou, which caused the Kunxu demon chaos and the natural disaster that almost happened in Zhuzhou.
Yan Ran didn’t believe it, “You are diverting your attention!”
"That's enough." Before Yan Ran could finish her words, she was interrupted by Han Yu.
Han Yu was sitting on a high seat at the moment, leaning on the desk with his elbows and half-supporting his head. He was very impatient with the argument below, "What's the use of arguing? What's the result if the argument comes out? Can it change the imminent situation now?" Something?"
This sentence caused silence to fall into the heavenly palace.
Venerable Hongde sighed, looked up at the door and said, "You are back."
Zhao Ning bowed slightly, and Venerable Liang Ye returned to his high position.
Yanran trotted to Zhao Ning's side, as if she wanted to tell her accusation against Ting Lan again. Ting Lan also looked at Zhao Ning with a very firm expression.
Zhao Ning only raised her hand slightly to stop the two of them from talking.
She walked to the center of the Heavenly Palace and said, "Dear Sirs, the Nascent Soul Realm Heavenly Demon has appeared in the first heaven."
The Heavenly Demon is not a demonic shadow. The appearance of the Heavenly Demon means that the Nine Heavens has fallen into chaos, and Shixu's is already weak.
Several venerables straightened their backs at the same time. Although they had expected such a result, they felt nervous when they heard it coming from the mouths of the people involved.
Venerable Liang Ye said at this time, "When I entered the first heaven, I already felt that the barrier of the first heaven was already slightly unstable. If I don't clear the ninth heaven, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the time of ruins." By then, the Nine Heavens will be breached."
Venerable Haochu frowned, "This matter is easy to say. According to the rules of previous years, all the Yuanying and high-grade golden elixirs have entered the ninth heaven. It can be blocked for a while. I will wait until we enter the Guixu Platform to transfer those Yuanshen It's fine if the demons in the realm stay outside. However, if we all go to surround and suppress the demons, who will escort the 'seed' to Jiuzhou."
Venerable Hongde glanced at Zhao Ning, then turned to all the venerables and said, "This 'passage' is the only chance. Although there are changes now, Jiuzhou has not noticed the 'passage' yet. But if it doesn't happen this time If it succeeds, it will be completely exposed. Even if Jiuzhou can be preserved, people at the level of Tianzun will probably be alarmed there. By then, Keyuan..."
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes, "Now that the Shixu passage has been opened, there is no turning back. I will go to the Shixu where I sense the way of heaven and look for my uncle."
"What little friend Zhao Ning said is true." Venerable Hongde sighed, "I think that while the Shixu is not completely chaotic now, we can send them to the Shixu in advance. Han Yu, Liang Ye, you and There were no three people escorting them to find Keyuan."
Han Yu and Liang Ye looked at each other. Han Yu didn't say anything, but Liang Ye had some scruples, "Can the four of you really survive the invasion of the demons in Kyushu? If we encounter the rain of Shixu, when the time comes, Guixu will Taiwan may collapse."
Zhao Ning had no idea about Shi Xu, but he could also sense the crisis Liang Ye said.
She raised her eyes to look at Lord Tiangong.
Venerable Hongde was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly. At the same time, all the Venerables had the same expression and movements.
"How could..." Venerable Liang Ye trembled.
Venerable Hongde has disappeared from the same place, followed by the other Venerables.
This was the first time that Zhao Ning had seen so many venerables with such strong emotional fluctuations at the same time. Even Yanran was shocked. She called her mother before the venerable Yanyue left.
"Mom, something happened."
Venerable Biyue's voice trembled, and his words made everyone dumbfounded.
"Jing Wu Zun... is gone..."
Chapter 310
We have traveled thousands of miles to the Demonic Wilderness of the West, but fortunately, with the guidance of Venerable Yanyue, Zhao Ning and others arrived at the retreat place of Venerable Jingwu in an instant.
This place is in the eastern mountains of the Demonic Wilderness of the West. A land of fairy spirits has been opened up through formations. There is no demonic energy to trouble, and there are no demonic shadows wandering around. Compared with other lands in Kyushu, it is more like a holy land for cultivation. If it were not for the Venerable Yanyue to lead the way, It is impossible to detect this place.
The mountain peaks tower into the clouds, and each step is like a ladder to the sky, until it reaches the highest point. A cave is embedded in the top of the mountain, and vines are entangled to block the entrance.
Jin Ying and Xiang Yao were hiding outside the door to protect the Dharma. When they saw so many venerables suddenly arriving, they appeared in panic. They didn't react for a while, but they had a bad premonition.
"What happened?" Xiang Yao had forgotten some etiquette.
Venerable Hongde stood in front, stared at the cave, and asked, "How long has it been since your master came out?"
Jin Ying forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, "Once the family master is deduced, it can be as short as a few years or as long as a hundred years. Although the family master has not come out of the cave for decades, this is normal."
But before she could continue to ask, Venerable Hongde frowned, raised his hand and waved violently, and the barrier outside the cave was opened.
The stone door was lifted up with a bang, but for a long time there was no response from the cave. On the contrary, the vines coiled on the top of the mountain seemed to be keenly aware of something, and gradually withered and lost their vitality.
It's death.
Jin Ying and Xiang Yao almost fell to the ground for a moment, then rushed towards the cave regardless.
"Master!"
Everyone entered the cave. The cave was very ordinary, with nothing more than a stone couch. Lord Jing Wu sat cross-legged on the couch, solemnly praying, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if sleeping.
For a moment, Jin Ying and Xiang Yao did not want to face the truth. They slowly approached, knelt three feet in front of the couch, raised their heads and called "Master" in a low voice, trying to wake up Jing Wu Zun.
There was no response, and Xiang Yao almost collapsed. Jin Ying held back her tears. She raised her hand to touch Master Jing Wu. At this moment, Master Jing Wu paralyzed in his calculating posture. His hands were drooped on his knees, and his head drooped heavily. , if Xiang Yao hadn't straightened up to hold it up, Jing Wu Zunzhang would have smashed it to the ground.
Jing Wu Zun is dead, he has really passed away.
"Master!!!" Jin Ying and Xiang Yao shouted sadly at the same time.
Zhao Ning was silent, never having thought that the death of Lord Yuanshen would be so silent.
Venerable Hongde couldn't bear it, turned his head to avoid sight, and shook his head sadly.
There are only eight Venerables in Kyushu. Now that Venerable Wu is gone, Kyushu will lose another point in strength.
No one wanted to see such an unclear result. Venerable Haochu stepped forward and pressed his palms on Venerable Jingwu’s head. The spiritual light was dim, and Venerable Jingwu’s body gradually faded away, with faint spots of light. drift.
The wailing Jin Ying and Xiang Yaoqiang realized that they were exploring the cause of the death of the Venerable Jingwu, but this would cause the Venerable's body to become feathered.
"Venerable Haochu, please, please let Master's body be preserved."
"Yes, Venerable Haochu, we have been guarding outside the cave. There is no natural disaster and no outsiders have entered. Master's death can only be caused by the backlash of heaven. Please, please let Master's remains be intact."
Venerable Hao Chu hesitated for a moment.
The sparse spiritual light drifted away, and there was silence in the cave. Zhao Ning followed the spiritual light and saw it falling on the top of the rock, vaguely drawing lines. The lines were intertwined, weird and mysterious, but they seemed to be conveying some message.
The other sages obviously noticed it too.
Venerable Hongde closed his eyes slightly and said "Haochu".
Venerable Haochu no longer hesitated. The spiritual light enveloped him, and Venerable Wu's body was completely transformed. The spiritual light flew like flying feathers and gathered upwards.
