The fifth day of assessment is already halfway over.
In the thatched cottage outside the secret realm, Xiao Jue and the others did not leave.
"Hey, if the restrictions are tightened again, the Patriarch's Cave may be permanently closed. I don't know if these little guys can enter the Patriarch's Cave this time."
Xiao Jue stared at the purple mist under the cliff and murmured.
This Qingyang secret realm seems to have special restrictions. As time goes by, the secret realm restrictions will become stronger and stronger. According to records, at the beginning, you can enter at the twelfth level of Qi training. As time goes by, you can only enter at the third level of Qi training. .
The Qingyang Sect tried their best to enter Qingyang Mansion to find out, but in the end they found nothing.
The senior officials of Qingyang Sect saw this in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do about it. If the restriction is tightened to the first level of Qi training, then even sending people in will be of no avail.
"Oh, it's God's will." Yu Tong shook his head and sighed, "It is said that the ancestor's cultivation is astonishing, and his forbidden methods are even more terrifying. He must have a deep meaning in doing this."
"Do you have any deep meaning?" Fang Buwei looked at Yu Tong in confusion.
"Well, I once heard someone mention that the Patriarch seemed a little unusual when he entered the Qingyang Secret Realm, and strictly prohibited Qingyang Sect disciples from entering the Secret Realm. If my guess is correct, I am afraid that this prohibition is not natural, but The Patriarch personally arranged it... We, the younger generation, may have made decisions that went against the Patriarch."
"There is such a thing." Xiao Jue frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Yu Tong smiled bitterly, "Actually, I also want to know the whereabouts of the Patriarch. If he really passed away in Qingyang Mansion, his abilities may also be in Qingyang Mansion, so..."
To put it bluntly, they covet the inheritance of Master Qingyang.
Xiao Jue and Fang Buwei could understand the words. After all, they also had this mentality. They just didn't know that Master Qingyang had ever had such a ban.
From this point of view, this Qingyang secret realm is not as simple as imagined.
Within the secret realm.
Lu Li and his party had already descended into the valley. After crossing the stream, there was a winding forest path. They had been walking along the path for several hours and still had not reached the end. They were really running to death while looking up the mountain.
After killing the big green snake last time, the three of them encountered a smaller green snake and a half-foot-long mutated porcupine. The smaller green snake and the three of them took down the smaller green snake without much effort. .
But the mutated porcupine left Lu Li and Chu Qingfeng in a state of embarrassment. Its body was covered with burrs. In the end, Lu Li threw a few fire bombs with a face full of pain, and then he was able to get rid of the opponent.
At this point, the three people's tasks have been completed.
What surprised Lu Li was that after walking for so long, none of them met the other three men and one woman who came in together, and they didn't know where they went.
The valley was very quiet. Apart from the footsteps of Lu Li and the others, there was no other noise, not even the chirping of birds. The ancient trees on both sides were lush and green, completely blocking the sunlight in the sky, making the path look a little dark.
After walking for a while, Lu Li suddenly raised his hand and stopped, staring at the corner ahead.
There seemed to be a voice coming from over there.
Chu Qingfeng and Liu Xinyu looked at each other and stopped quickly.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?" Liu Xinyu asked softly.
"There's movement."
As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, three men and women suddenly walked out from around the corner.
There were two men and one woman. The woman in brown clothes walked at the front. Several people walked forward without saying a word, looking a little downcast.
Lu Li recognized those people. They were the other four people who came in for the assessment with them before. But for some reason, there were only three people left now.
The woman also saw Lu Li and his party, frowned slightly, led the two of them over quickly, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lu, are you going to Qingyang Mansion?"
Qingyang Mansion?
It seems that the cave on the cliff is really Qingyang Mansion.
Lu Li's thoughts suddenly became clear. He nodded and replied, "Exactly. Why is Senior Sister back?"
"Haha, it's not easy to break into Qingyang Mansion. We don't think we have the strength, and the task hasn't been completed yet, so we won't waste time." At this point, the woman's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled at Lu Li and said, "Junior brother is here After staying in the bamboo forest for so long, you should have completed your mission, right?"
Lu Li shook his head: "Not yet. We walked around inside and finally got lost. That's why we took so long and couldn't find a few elixirs."
"Really?" The woman didn't believe it.
"That's true." Lu Li didn't want to get entangled with the woman and said directly, "Senior sister, we want to take a look at the mysterious cave first, so we'll leave first."
As he said this, he winked at Liu Xinyu and the two of them and passed by them.
Just as Lu Li passed by the woman, a look of cruelty suddenly flashed across the woman's face. As she raised her hand, a ball of fire crashed towards Lu Li's back.
"Be careful!" Liu Xinyu exclaimed and swung behind Lu Li.
boom!
There was an explosion, and Lu Li felt like he was hit by something. When he turned around, his expression suddenly changed.
It turned out that it was Liu Xinyu who blocked the blow for him.
"What are you doing!" Chu Qingfeng's expression changed and he rushed over to help Liu Xinyu up, staring at the three of them with anger.
"What are you doing?" The woman smiled slightly, "Hand over the elixir you have, otherwise... don't blame us for not caring about our friendship!"
The other two people, one on the left and the other on the right, surrounded Lu Li and the others with a joking look on their faces and said nothing.
At this time, one of Lu Li's three people was injured, and they were absolutely sure of taking them down.
"You, you actually robbed a fellow disciple!" Chu Qingfeng finally realized. In his heart, fellow disciples should support each other. How could you do such a thing?
"Robbery? Haha, the sect has regulations not to rob..."
boom!
Before the woman finished speaking, a dark green figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Raise your hand.
One punch!
Most of the head above the bridge of the nose was directly blasted to pieces.
The other two men were still joking at this time.
Lu Li turned back, rushed towards the man on the right, and punched him again.
"you!"
Only then did the man on the left react, and hurriedly retreated in panic. At the same time, he was about to stretch his hand into his arms. Upon seeing this, Liu Xinyu broke away from the sluggish Chu Qingfeng, raised his hand and shot a water arrow at the man's chest.
The man was so frightened that he couldn't help but use his luck energy to stop him. Even with his slow breathing, Lu Li had already eliminated the man on his right and shot at him.
"Spare...!"
boom!
What greeted him was a sharp pain in his chest. He was knocked backwards two to three feet and landed heavily on the ancient tree behind him. There was a shocking hole in his chest.
"call!"
Lu Li's face turned pale, he held his knees and gasped for air.
This time he really gained experience. The fellow senior sister who was chatting and laughing with him a moment ago turned cold and cruel in an instant. The world of cultivators really makes people dare not relax.
But what the other party didn't expect was that Lu Li's combat power would be so strong. They, who were both at the third level of Qi training, couldn't even make a move under Lu Li's hand.
It's not that Lu Li is too strong. Although he has brute strength, if the opponent is prepared to dodge in advance, he will not die so easily. It's a pity that they were careless, and they didn't expect that Lu Li would dare to kill anyone.
After all, they just want to grab the elixir.
