"What's wrong?"

Gu Yinghe noticed Mu Qing's movements and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Mu Qing turned to look at her and pointed at the night. Gu Yinghe immediately guessed something and whispered: "We are in the Ming Shen Tu. No matter how we hide it, we probably can't escape the eyes of its owner. "

Mu Qing thought of the taciturn old man sitting high above, and expressed what he had been considering, "The far-reaching passage under the secret realm of Mingquan is an urgent problem that the Gods Association needs to solve. And I... I believe in this great elder. You shouldn’t be so curious about a young man’s secret.”

"That's true." Gu Yinghe said, "After all, the other party is already standing on the top of the mountain."

Mu Qing and Gu Yinghe looked at each other, then dropped the topic and continued to collect spiritual crystals.

After once again rushing through the formation and easily collecting more than a dozen spiritual crystals, Mu Qing discovered a detail.

The number of spiritual crystals they have collected these few times has increased each time, and the locations of the collected spiritual crystals are still in the same direction, leading to the north.

"The scope of this small world is not smaller than that of Youyan State. The person who planned this competition definitely doesn't want everyone to stay in one place and just collect spiritual crystals."

Gu Yinghe seemed to know where Mu Qing's focus was. She looked at the night in front of her that was shattered by the faint light emitted by the spiritual crystal, trying to see the outline of a certain mountain peak in the deepest part of the night. "If my guess is right, Going all the way in the current direction, we will arrive at Jiewang Mountain."

Mu Qing frowned slightly. The closer they got to Jiewang Mountain, the greater the chance that they would meet other contestants. Although they had just comforted themselves, meeting or even fighting with others too early would expose their methods even more. point.

…

In the main hall, Dongfang Kuo's eyes kept moving back and forth on the two light spots on the Ming Shen Diagram, and he did not forget to ask Tantai Canghai: "Canghai, how long until Mu Qing and Ding Shaoan meet?"

"Hey..." Tantai Canghai sighed softly, with some regret in his eyes, "On the Mingshen Diagram, you can see a few light spots very close together, but a finger on it is a hundred miles wide. Even Mu Qing The direction did not change, and by the time he caught up, Ding Shaoan had also left."

"Then there is still at least more than a hundred miles to go." Dongfang Kuo was a little bored when he heard the words, but seeing that the light spots of Ding Shaoan and the three Dao Sect disciples had not moved for the time being, he still retained a little hope, "Ding Shaoan didn't move. It seems that the three young men on Abbot Island also have tempers. They may want to destroy the token and withdraw from the competition directly."

Tantai Canghai's eyes moved slightly. The identity token was set up with a self-destruct method communicated by the mark of divine consciousness. Once the contestant activated it, he would be actively excluded by Mingshentu.

God will do this in order to try to make the result of this competition not too fierce. It is definitely not used in this situation. Tantai Canghai does not want the three brothers and sisters Wei Shenglan to withdraw so early and frowns. Said: "Experiencing humiliation is also a kind of growth."

Dongfang Kuo rolled his eyes and was about to mock the face-loving old guy when he suddenly noticed the movement on the Mingshen Picture from the corner of his eye:

When Mu Qing was a hundred miles away from Ding Shaoan and the others, he suddenly changed direction.

"This guy, there are clearly more spiritual crystals in front of him, but he changed the direction. He must have sensed Ding Shaoan and the others."

Dongfang Kuo could only think of such a possibility.

Tantai Canghai is also always paying attention to the changes in Mu Qing's position. He originally hoped that Mu Qing could solve the dilemma of Wei Shenglu and the others. Seeing this, he no longer has any expectations for Mu Qing. "It's impossible. Mu Qing is still far away from Ding Shaoan." For more than one hundred and twenty miles, even Lu Manqing of Wuji Sword Sect does not have such strong perception ability."

Wei Shenghua was a little unhappy when she heard what Tantai Canghai said, "Elder Canghai, do you think Mu Qing's spiritual consciousness is not as strong as others'?"

Because of Wei Shenglan's relationship, Tantai Canghai didn't like the people in Fangzhang Island. Seeing Wei Shenghua sitting on the seat in Zhuque City and questioning him in front of everyone, her gray eyebrows deeply frowned and she glanced at the person sitting on the island. Ye Yun, who was next to Wei Shenghua, glanced at her and said, "Mu Qing is half one of us. Although some of his words reflect his ambition, they are true."

Tantai Canghai glanced at Su Si who was sitting quietly.

, sighing softly: "This Su Manqing is the one with the highest level among all the young people participating in the competition. She is only twenty-four years old, and she has already broken through to the middle stage of mortal transformation not long ago. Such an achievement, even for everyone sitting here Elder, I’m afraid I can’t compare to this woman at this age.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Kuo was the first to retort: ​​"I remember that Sword Immortal Su Si is also twenty-four years old."

"Uh..." Tantai Canghai choked for a moment, but it wasn't over yet. Tantai Xuan also came to join in the fun. She looked at her junior who had become an elder of the Shenhui through hard work and should call her aunt. , smiled and said: "Canghai, Xiaolan is in the middle stage of mortal transformation at the age of twenty-two."

"Everyone, that's not what I meant." Tantai Canghai said helplessly.

"You want to say that Mu Qing is indeed inferior to Su Manqing, right?" Tantai Xuan glanced at him sideways, "I heard that Mu Qing is only nineteen years old this year, so why not just be inferior."

As soon as Tantai Xuan said these words, the elders in the hall were sincerely surprised. He was already at the peak of transcendence at the age of nineteen. This kind of talent may not be as good as that of a monster like Lu Manqing. How bad it is.

Tantai Canghai saw that everyone seemed to be unable to pass Mu Qing's threshold, so he simply brought out the picture of Mu Qing and Gu Yinghe and placed it right above the Ming Shen Diagram.

After Mu Qing changed direction with Gu Yinghe, he did not approach Jiewang Mountain anymore. Instead, he kept the same distance and continued to collect spiritual crystals on the periphery.

Tantai Canghai saw this scene and said with a smile: "Mu Qing, this young man is very smart and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. By doing this, although the spiritual crystals collected each time are not too many, he will not encounter them again for a long time. But if he does this, he is destined to fail to enter the top ten. The closer he gets to the Jiewang Mountain area, the more spiritual crystals he can collect by breaking through a large formation than he has collected ten times now."

"Not always."

Hearing that it was Dongfang Kuo who was contradicting him again, Tantai Canghai looked at him coldly, "Are you controlling the Mingshen Tu, or am I controlling the Mingshen Tu?"

Seeing that Tantai Canghai was on the verge of getting angry, Dongfang Kuo stopped using his teasing tone and pointed at the Ming Shen Diagram and said, "Look, does Ding Shaoan have the same idea as Mu Qing? Since he has also chosen to go outside Circle around."

"Um?"

Tantai Canghai took a look and found that the light spot representing Ding Shaoan on the Mingshen Diagram had indeed moved, and was still chasing Mu Qing. He couldn't help frowning, "There are six of them now. Why don't they go deeper and chase Mu Qing?" green?"

The elder of the Earth Sect was delighted when he heard this, "Shaoan is the real smart one. If he goes further, he will probably meet Su Wuming of the Sword Sect. He is worthy of being the holy son of our Earth Sect."

…

…

Inside the Narukami picture.

Ding Shaoan looked at the traces on the ground seriously, while Wei Shenglu stood behind him with a gloomy look.

Ding Shaoan withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl.

Xiang Wen and Xiang Wu had followed the disciples of Di Zong to collect traces around them, but Wei Shenglu stood here indifferently.

Ding Shaoan frowned and said: "Since you can't make up your mind to quit the competition directly, then learn from your two senior brothers. At least... the spiritual crystals collected next will have 10% of yours. It's better than nothing, right? "

Wei Shenglu pinched her small hands hanging by her side together and looked at the two senior brothers who had bruises and swollen eyes. She felt very sad. She had originally thought about destroying the token and quitting the competition, but in the end it was no one else who persuaded her. , it is the two senior brothers Xiang Wen and Xiang Wu.

Xiang Wen told her that if the three brothers and sisters were the first to withdraw from the competition, it would be their master's face that would be humiliated, and Abbot Island would probably be ridiculed even more in the future.

It's just that Wei Shenglu still can't figure it out... Could it be that if they are like this now, they won't be laughed at?

The girl felt sad in her heart and stood silently like a stone, but in Ding Shaoan's eyes, it was contempt for him.

Ding Shaoan's chest rose and fell slightly, and he let out a breath. If he hadn't known that everything that happened in Mingshentu might be seen by the elders in the hall, he wouldn't have been so polite to Wei Shenglu, but since Wei Shenglu hadn't Willing to cooperate, he thought, those elders should also be more understanding.

His anger.

"Snapped--"

A crisp sound resounded in the forest. Wei Shenglu lowered his head and remained silent.

"Junior sister!" Seeing this scene, Xiang Wu rushed towards Ding Shao'an like crazy, but was quickly held down and beaten by the two disciples of the Earth Sect.

Xiang Wu's face was full of anger, and he looked at Xiang Wen who was standing there, "Brother, what are you doing standing there in a daze? I'm holding them back, so hurry up and take action."

"What? Do you want to be beaten again?"

As soon as Xiang Wen moved, a disciple stood in front of him.

Ding Shaoan looked at the girl standing in front of him, with a red slap mark on her face but biting her lips to hold back tears. There was a trace of inexplicable joy in her eyes, "You see, the gap in strength is so real. You three brothers and sisters have already met each other." Now that we are here, if you still want to continue participating in the competition, then listen to my orders."

"This slap is the last time I tell you this truth. I won't say so much next time."

Ding Shaoan taught a genius girl a lesson, and he felt much happier. He looked at the junior disciple of the Earth Sect, "How about it, can you confirm who took the spiritual crystal here just now?"

The disciple who stopped Xiang Wen shook his head and said, "There are very few traces of damage left at the scene, but I am sure he is not from the same sect. I think..."

Ding Shaoan frowned slightly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The junior brother pointed to the flat open space not far away and said: "The traces left on the ground prove that they directly broke the formation to collect spiritual crystals, but they did not leave any obvious traces of damage. This proves that although their methods are simple and crude, they are probably extremely powerful. .”

"Is that so?" Ding Shaoan nodded slowly. He had just observed it for a moment and actually had the same opinion, but soon a smile appeared on his face: "The method is simple, but not in-depth. I probably know who this person is."

"Senior brother?" Junior brother was puzzled.

Ding Shaoan smiled and said: "This person relies on brute force to charge into the battle. He is most likely Gu Yuan of the Gu family. I think all the spiritual crystals coming here have been collected by this person. As long as you catch up with him, you will gain more than the three of them." Much bigger."

The junior brother was immediately overjoyed: "If we chase in this direction, we will surely catch up with this person."

Ding Shaoan nodded calmly and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

…

A moment later, in the forest where Ding Shaoan and others disappeared, a tall figure slowly walked out. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of blue halo, and the spirit crystal that filled the forest with his aura was exactly the same. It was Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan threw the consumed spiritual crystal fragments in his hand on the ground and looked in the direction where Ding Shaoan disappeared, his eyes full of sarcasm.

He looked at the night farther away and thought to himself: "Auntie, you and Mu Qing just play with them slowly. I'll go to Jiewang Mountain to wait for you first."
