To the east of the northern end of the wasteland, there is a plain land with a radius of thousands of miles.
It was late autumn and early winter in the dynasty, but this place has already become a land of snow. Fortunately, there are still rivers that have not yet frozen. When they flow eastward into the sea, they also nourish the eye-catching and unique oasis in the center of the plain.
This place is very different from the yellow sand and white bones in the wilderness, and there is no lack of vitality.
Green plants and white snow coexist, and the palace with spiers and black walls remains standing. If the snow falls quickly, a looming dome will appear in the sky. It is a formation that covers the entire oasis, blocking out the rough wind. It left behind the tranquility and softness of Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall.
In the palace, Gu Tong, who was dressed in black robe, bowed and said slowly to his superiors: "Young Master and Gu Yan have already gone to that ruins. I'm a little worried."
Gu Tian looked out the window at the black buildings that were breathing together with the sky and the earth. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Many rough stones were found in the ruins, and the broken space connecting them has extremely strong power of rules. This is an opportunity for their descendants. , all the disciples of the Gu family below the mortal level can try it."
Gu Tong raised his head and said in surprise: "Could it be that the extremely powerful power of rules also affects your realm, the head of the family?"
"Yes." Gu Tian said: "In there, my realm is suppressed to the peak of transcendence."
Gu Tong's eyes brightened slightly and he said: "Such a powerful power of rules has not appeared for hundreds of years. Could it be the dojo where a certain senior master was transformed like that time?"
Gu Tian glanced at him, threw out a yellowed bamboo slip, and said, "This was found inside. You can check the clan records to see if you can determine the identity of this person."
Gu Tong's expression was much more serious. He picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully. He saw only four ancient characters on the bamboo slip that shimmered with light: Guiyuan Secret Realm.
"Guiyuan Secret Realm..." Gu Tong muttered to himself in his heart, raised his head and said, "I will handle this matter personally. Since this ruins has such an opportunity, should I ask the people from the elder group to protect the law?"
Gu Tian looked at Gu Tong and said, "What are you worried about?"
Gu Tong said: "Mu Qing is not dead. Ancient words alone may not be able to protect the young master."
Gu Tian frowned slightly and said, "What's Gu Yuan's attitude?"
Gu Tong said truthfully: "Young Master naturally doesn't like our approach of getting rid of Mu Qing. Although, although he may have had some communication with Mu Qing in the Bounty Pavilion, he is much more mature than before in doing things. The only thing What's wrong is that he made a promise that if Mu Qing is defeated next time, he will kill himself from the Gu family."
Gu Tian leaned on his seat, tapped his forehead with his fingertips, and asked, "Is this pushing him too hard?"
Gu Tong sighed softly: "The young master's ability to awaken the bloodline of the great witch for the second time is our Gu family's only hope. There are some things that an old man like me should do. If he doesn't like my approach, he should create something new."
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Tian looked in a certain direction, "Guyan's realm is not high, but the divination technique has gained some essence from the second elder. That Mu Qing's destiny is unique and has a great influence."
Gu Tong hesitated: "Then..."
Gu Tian said: "The reason why Gu Tian was defeated in his first attempt in the outside world was because of Mu Qing and because the Gu family protected him too much. If he wants to truly shoulder the burden of our Gu family, he has to follow this The most powerful young people in the world should fight each other more often."
Gu Tong frowned and said: "It's just that this Mu Qing is obviously a narrow-minded person. If he suddenly encounters the young master, I'm afraid..."
"There are not so many what-ifs." Gu Tian glanced at him and said calmly: "This is Beihuang, not Suzaku City."
Gutong breathed a sigh of relief and thought of something, "Is that person still useful?"
Gu Tian's eyes suddenly became much colder and sterner. Gu Tong felt the bloodthirsty pressure on his body and was frightened. He lowered his head and said no more.
After a long time, Gu Tian's voice slowly sounded: "Since this person did not leave with Ling Xuesong, he is no longer a member of the Lin family."
Hearing this, Gu Tong smiled and said: "I will make arrangements to help him recover from his injuries as soon as possible. Even a mortal sword cultivator in the pseudo realm is a good force."
"No." Gu Tian shook his head and said, "The Gu family will not want anyone Lin Langtian doesn't want. Help him recover from his injuries and then let him go."
"this……"
Gu Tong seemed to have thought of something and agreed in a low voice.
In a cave made of cold stone, Xiao Gaofeng's whole body was soaked in red liquid. When he heard the sound of the restriction being lifted outside the cave, he came up with his upper body and looked at the person coming.
Gu Tong looked at Xiao Gaofeng, whose face was still as pale as paper, and thought of Gu Zizhen lying in another pool of blood. He couldn't help but stop a dozen steps away and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, how do you feel?"
"Yes." Xiao Gaofeng said hoarsely: "Thanks to the elders for your help, I have been able to gather the sword's intention. I wonder how injured the little brother who found me is? I will personally apologize to him when I have time."
Gu Tong placed a bottle of elixir on the stone table aside and said slowly: "Brother Xiao was in an extremely unstable state at that time. I didn't have time to ask what happened that day. I just don't know if you have the energy to answer my questions now. .”
There was a splash in the pool, and Xiao Gaofeng swept out of the pool of blood, summoned his robe and put it on behind him, looking at Gu Tong calmly.
Gu Tong's brows moved slightly, as if he remembered something, and he smiled guiltily: "Brother Xiao, do you think I tricked you that day?"
Xiao Gaofeng looked down at the empty sleeve on the left and said: "I only believe that every drink and every peck is cause and effect. Wherever Ling Xuesong will appear, I will not blame you, elder. All this is my own greed." Caused by desire.”
Gu Tong was slightly moved, and said in a deep voice: "The pursuit of the higher reaches of the great road has long transcended human greed. It is the pursuit of knowledge about oneself and the world. Brother Xiao, please do not become depressed."
Xiao Gaofeng shook his head, raised his face and said: "At best, I am a pseudo-realm sword cultivator in the early stage of becoming a mortal. At worst, I am a lunatic who will become possessed sooner or later. I have nothing to say sorry to the elders here. I probably don't have much." What time can do for the Gu family."
A glimmer of light flashed in Gu Tong's eyes, and he sighed: "Brother Xiao regards me as a person who only knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Even if you don't come to the Gu family, we can still be friends. And if you want to practice in my Gu family, I will contact you anytime." welcome."
Xiao Gaofeng looked at the stone table. There was a charred sword on the stone table, with small cracks all over the sword.
It was only now that he was willing to recall what happened at that time. If Ling Xuesong hadn't smashed the calamity cloud with his sword, he would have been wiped out by the thunder of calamity, and there would be no chance for him to sigh.
But it was this sword that completely cut off his hope of promotion to the Breaking Realm, turning him into a fake realm trying to make people laugh.
At this moment, his emotions were very complicated. If he broke the situation with peace of mind and let the boy leave, wouldn't the following things happen?
"Brother Xiao?" Gu Tong called.
Xiao Gaofeng's eyes moved slightly, he ended his trance and said, "He should still be alive. Is there any news about him?"
Gu Tong shook his head and said, "It's a pity that since that thunderstorm, there has been no trace of him in the wasteland."
Xiao Gaofeng frowned. Gu Tong looked at his expression and said with a half-smile, "It seems that Brother Xiao is still planning to continue?"
Xiao Gaofeng said expressionlessly: "I have no other choice."
Gu Tong waited for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiao, what happened that day? Ling Xuesong and I were in a stalemate that day. It should be something that happened here that made him take action."
Xiao Gaofeng narrowed his eyes, and what lingered in his mind was that face - firm and calm, looking back at death. He suddenly felt a burst of heart palpitations, covered his chest and was silent for a long time before saying: "That kid is trying to destroy my life." The promotion eventually attracted the tribulation thunder, trying to die with me.”
"..."
Gu Tong was imagining the scene at that time, but Xiao Gaofeng turned around and walked towards the blood pool. He had to ask quickly: "Can Mu Qing use the power of Jie Lei?"
Xiao Gaofeng paused slightly and said in a serious voice: "He couldn't. He used the simplest method and rushed towards me with the robbery thunder."
"hiss……"
Gu Tong regretted not being able to get rid of Mu Qing in Juye City. He looked at Xiao Gaofeng's thinner back and said, "If this kid wants to save people from the black storm, he will inevitably appear in various ruins. His portrait It's already in the hands of those casual cultivators, and I will tell you as soon as there is any news. Brother Xiao can rest here to recover from his injuries in the past few days."
Xiao Gaofeng turned around and said sincerely: "If Xiao can still have a peaceful day, he will definitely die in the service of the Gu family."
Gu Tong left with satisfaction. Xiao Gaofeng stood there for a long time, walked to the table, picked up his sword and looked at it for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on that
On the bottle of elixir.
There was a trace of cruelty in his eyes, he grabbed the medicine bottle, raised his head and drank all the pills inside.
In an instant, his face turned red, and the sword intent that he had just collected shot out again, leaving countless mottled sword marks on the walls of the cave.
He just staggered and fell into the pool of blood. Only one sad voice echoed in the cave for a long time: "I will kill you!"
In the wasteland at night, even the yellow sand is much harder.
Mu Qing looked up and looked at the ruins ahead, which had more firelight than elsewhere. He stopped and said, "Uncle Feng, is this here?"
"That's right." Ying Feng walked to Mu Qing and said, "I came here when the ruins first appeared, but there were not so many people seeking death now."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. This ruins was deep in the wasteland. The two of them went all the way north. On the way, they encountered some casual cultivators who were testing their identities. Before Mu Qing could take action, Ying Feng solved the opponent and let Mu Qing. Qing understood the decisive and ruthless side of the man with a clear face next to him.
Ying Feng's eyes swept over the ruins and moved forward. After feeling that his line of sight was blocked, he pointed in that direction and said: "That is the area covered by the black storm. There is a space rift deep in the black storm, which can be entered directly. That secret realm of Guiyuan.”
Along the way, the two of them talked a lot about each other's experiences in the Northern Wasteland.
Mu Qing became serious when he heard this and said, "Is that Gu Tian still in the secret realm?"
Ying Feng shook his head: "The power of rules in the secret realm is relatively complete. He once tried to keep me, but found that forcing the power of transformation into a mortal would cause backlash, so he didn't try again."
Mu Qing thought thoughtfully: "Does this mean that as long as you have the power to transform into a mortal, it is possible to break this secret realm?"
Ying Feng was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully and said: "It should be possible, but even Gu Tian would not dare to do this."
Mu Qing said: "Because it will be counterattacked by all the power of the secret realm?"
Ying Feng nodded: "But your idea reminded me that the power of rules is similar to the power of laws in the real world, and it is particularly sensitive to the realm. We may not be able to do it, but you can give it a try. Maybe the backlash you receive will be due to Your current realm is much smaller."
Mu Qing's eyes lit up. He had been considering this feasibility along the way. Since Ying Feng said so, he naturally wanted to try it right away.
Seeing his eagerness to try, Ying Feng said, "Let's rest tonight and start tomorrow."
Mu Qing shook his head and was about to speak when his eyes swept over Ying Feng's tired brows and realized that he had not had time to rest after he came out of the Realm of Absolute Spirits and led him for thousands of miles. He apologized: "Okay. But I I want to go see Black Storm.”
Ying Feng felt the urgency in Mu Qing's heart and smiled: "The black storm here is just a mist. It's relatively safe. You can go and have a look."
