Outside Qinyang Pass, there are endless mountains for thousands of miles. One of them is an inconspicuous mountain called Black Cloud Mountain. Not only that the mountain is completely hollowed out, but also dozens of huge formations are engraved around it. There are illusions. Formations, killing formations, trapping formations, etc. are really impregnable.
This Black Cloud Mountain is the home base of the Black Cloud Bandits. They have been committing crimes around Qinyang Pass for decades. With their ruthlessness and caution, they have faced several encirclements and suppressions by the Nine Immortal Sects. The Black Cloud Bandits have turned disasters into disasters, and this continues to this day. .
At this moment, in an extremely luxurious palace inside the mountain, a young man dressed in brocade clothes was sitting on the throne enjoying singing and dancing.
There are so many beauties in front of me, the musicians are playing music, the dancers are dancing, and there are so many birds and butterflies in the air, I feel so comfortable.
The spiritual stones were piled up into a small mountain.
There are piles of various treasures one after another, as far as the eye can see.
There are even more than a dozen spiritual weapons hanging high in every corner of the palace, releasing the pressure of the spiritual realm and intimidating all the slaves and dancers in the palace.
These beauties and treasures were forcibly captured by him from various places. Although it is deep in the mountains and inaccessible, after so many years of burning, killing and plundering, the entire Black Cloud Mountain has been extremely luxurious and richer than ordinary small empires. It can be said that Real wealth can rival a country.
The young man is the second leader of the Black Cloud Pirates, named Guo Chao.
He enjoys this luxurious life surrounded by beauties and doing whatever he wants.
Before embarking on the path of spiritual practice, he was once a general of a small dynasty, and he did well with his illustrious military exploits.
But since he saw the princess of this dynasty, he was fascinated by her beauty. As if he had lost his soul, he tossed and turned for countless nights, mustering up the courage to boldly express his love, but was dismissed as worthless.
Toad wants to eat.
Being ridiculed and ridiculed in public.
Even the post of general was dismissed.
After being whipped for a few times, he was directly thrown into a dark dungeon and asked to be executed on a different day.
The heartbroken Guo Chao thought he was certain to die, but he met the master of the Black Cloud Pirates in the dungeon. Seeing that he had great talent in cultivation, the master gave him a way to survive, taught him the method of cultivation, and gave him magic weapons, elixirs, and exercises. .
Guo Chao did not disappoint him. In one night, he broke through from the first level of the mortal realm to the fourth level of the mortal realm.
The head of the family was overjoyed, and after bursting with terrifying spiritual cultivation, he led Guo Chao out of the siege, slaughtered the entire royal family, and used the blood and lives of countless people to wash away Guo Chao's humiliation.
From then on, Guo Chao became the second leader of the Black Cloud Pirates, and Luo Cao became a bandit.
In the entire empire, Guo Chao only spared the life of the current princess. After taking the princess captive back to Black Cloud Mountain, Guo Chao personally gouged out her eyes, chopped off her hands and feet, pulled out her tongue, and then made the beautiful woman The princess was forced into a wine jar and made into a human pig.
The only thing she didn't do was pour lead water into her ears and burn through her eardrums.
Guo Chao had a habit. After enjoying the performances of musicians and dancers, he would always return to his bedroom and tell the princess a little about his recent experiences.
If his ears were deaf, Guo Chao would have no friends in this world and no one to tell his inner thoughts.
"Back off!"
After the song and dance performance, Guo Chao waved his hand, and the musicians and dancers retreated tremblingly.
"Brother has been in seclusion for so long, but I don't know if he has broken through to the seventh level of the spiritual realm?"
Guo Chao looked at another majestic palace in Black Cloud Mountain and murmured to himself:
"I'm almost breaking through to the sixth level of the spiritual realm. Big brother, if you don't break through, don't let me be surpassed by my little brother."
Withdrawing his gaze, Guo Chao stood up and began to walk into his bedroom as usual.
"Squeak~"
Pushing open the heavy door, a woman with disheveled hair, eyes gouged out, and her whole body stuffed into a small wine jar came into view.
"Die'er, one day without seeing you is like three autumns apart. Do you miss your husband?"
Looking at the princess who was struggling in the wine jar and smelling the stench, Guo Chao not only did not dislike it, but took a deep breath in fascination and was filled with joy:
"Die'er, you're not good again. You said that if you had..."
Before he finished speaking, Guo Chao's expression suddenly changed and his voice stopped abruptly.
Because the soul jade of the Fourth Master in his arms instantly shattered, this meant that the Fourth Master's body had disappeared and he was completely dead.
"Fourth brother?!"
The leader of the Black Cloud Pirates has been in seclusion all year round, attacking the seventh level of the spiritual realm. Basically everything in the mountain is left to the responsibility of Guo Chao, the second master.
"The third brother and the fourth brother heard that there was a secret realm around Qinyang Pass and went to investigate. Now that the fourth brother is dead, the third brother..."
Guo Chao frowned. This soul jade is the same as the soul lamp. There is a trace of essence and blood inside. If the lamp is extinguished, people will die, and if the jade breaks, people will die.
"The fourth brother is at the third level of the spiritual realm, and the third brother is at the fourth level of the spiritual realm. If they encounter a powerful enemy above the sixth level of the spiritual realm, they will be killed together. Now the fourth brother is dead, and the third brother is dead. The soul jade is not broken, which means that the invading enemy is not strong."
"The third brother is cautious. If he doesn't see a rare treasure, he will not snatch it. In other words..."
Guo Chao was very kind and could deduce a rough idea in an instant. He then ignored the "um um um" moans from the palace master in the wine jar. He flashed his body and flew out of Black Cloud Mountain in an instant. According to the instructions of Soul Jade, Pointing in the direction, he chased after him at full speed.
Whoosh!
Ten thousand meters above the sky, Guo Chao manifested an illusory long sword all over his body. The long sword wrapped around his body and kept shuttling through the clouds at a speed several times that of an ordinary fifth-level monk.
Five years ago, Guo Chao broke through the fifth level of the spiritual realm and understood the Lingxiao Daluo Sword Way. His lethality was extremely terrifying, and his strength was not even inferior to Mu Wanqing's.
"Crack!"
Guo Chao, who was on the way, frowned, because the soul jade in his arms that was connected to the life of the third master was completely shattered, which meant that the third master was also killed.
"Half a stick of incense had passed since the fourth brother was killed before the third brother died."
Guo Chao frowned and murmured to himself as he hurried on:
"The strength of the person who took action should be around the fourth level of the spiritual realm. We need to hurry up, but there are millions of others who can escape."
"I'm very curious, what kind of treasure can make the third brother and the fourth brother pay their lives one after another?!"
...
Chen Changan gasped for air, and when his mind returned to clarity, he almost collapsed.
Looking at the khaki-colored death bell floating in front of him, Chen Changan felt a heart palpitation for no reason.
horrible!
It's really terrible!
Almost capsized in the gutter.
He never expected that the third master, who only had the fourth level of the spiritual realm, would actually have a soul-attacking spiritual weapon such as the Soul Bell hidden in his hands.
If it weren't for the fact that his soul strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
If it weren't for him, he would have successfully broken through the third level of the spiritual realm and turned all his spiritual power into true energy.
If he had not been meditating on the third form of the "Great Sun Thunder Sword Technique", the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and attracted the thunder from the sky at the critical moment.
...
Under the repeated attacks of the Soul Bell, he was probably killed long ago.
Uh-huh!
Chen Changan waved his hand, and his spiritual power wrapped around the earth-yellow bell and sent it to him.
Now that the third master of the family is dead, the soul bell has become an ownerless thing. It stands to reason that Chen Changan can easily refine it.
But when Chen Changan's consciousness rushed into the Soul Bell, he was knocked back by a powerful force.
Um? !
This soul-destroying bell is obviously just a middle-grade spiritual weapon, why is it so... weird? !
Chen Changan didn't think too much and forcefully put the Bell of Souls into his treasure bag. He could only ask about it after returning to Taishang Jiutian Palace and awakening Eternity.
With eternal knowledge, he will be able to understand the origin of this soul bell.
"I have to rush back to Taishang Jiutian Palace as soon as possible to inform Lu Zhuer and others of the death of senior sister."
Once Ji Fengyan dies, the Phoenix Mountains where she is located will be taken back by the sect. By then, Lu Zhuer and others... will be in danger!
After all, they were born as slaves and did not even have freedom. If they were forcibly taken as slaves by other powerful disciples, the sect would not intervene.
In any case, he, Chen Changan, would never let this happen.
Although his realm and strength are still very low, with his inner disciple protecting him, I think the situation of Lu Zhuer and others will be much better.
No!
Not should, but must! !
Taking a deep breath, Chen Changan felt upset for no reason. After taking a look at the scattered clouds within a hundred miles, Chen Changan turned around and flew towards Taishang Jiutian Palace without even thinking.
"This person claims to be the third master of the Black Cloud Thieves. Although I don't know which force this black cloud thief belongs to, but the third master has the strength of the fourth level of the spiritual realm. How terrifying must the second master and even the first master be?"
"At least I am definitely no match for him now!"
"I hope the death of the third master will not cause any alarm..."
Uh-huh!
Chen Changan, who was flying in the air, was suddenly locked by an inexplicable energy. Before he could react, an invisible sword energy rushed over and slashed towards his neck in an instant.
The terrifying swordsman, Guo Chao.
Take action!
