The escaping light flashed down and landed beside Ji Liao and Kong Xiangyun. It condensed for a moment, and a man with silver hair and a single horn appeared. It was the ancient blade that came with Xiong Hen.
"It's you!" As soon as Gu Renfang landed, he immediately spotted Ji Liao and was also surprised.
Ji Liao chuckled, "I didn't expect that we would meet again."
Back then, Ji Liao was being chased by Sky Raider Bees. In order to escape, he and Xiong Hen diverted some of the Sky Raider Bees. Xiong Hen kept biting him tightly and wouldn't let go. As for this ancient evil spirit in the Sumeru Realm, He immediately escaped alone.
Ji Liao didn't know their true identities. He always thought that they broke into the Sand Sea Purgatory for the bounty offered by the City of Fire. They were just bounty hunters. However, he didn't expect that they were also members of the Great Rebellion Alliance. Ten years later, we met again here.
Gu Ren's eyes flickered slightly, and he scanned Ji Liao's body for a while. He suddenly thought of something and his face changed slightly.
"Where is Fellow Taoist Xiong Hen?" Gu Ren asked.
Ji Liao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked knowingly, "Are you talking about that Wu Clan monk?"
"Exactly!"
Ji Liao shook his head slightly, "He chased me for a while. Seeing that he couldn't catch up with me and couldn't get rid of the Skygrabbers behind him, he left on his own within a few days. As for his whereabouts, I really don't know."
"That's it!" Gu Ren nodded slightly.
Gu Ren has no doubts about Ji Liao's words. He is very clear about Xiong Hen's strength, and he also bought the opponent's Wrathful Heavenly Thunder technique from him. Xiong Hen has few opponents in the Sumeru realm. He has no opponent at all. He didn't believe that Ji Liao in front of him would be Xiong Hen's opponent.
Kong Xiangyun looked at the two people talking and saw that both of them were no longer talking, so he stepped forward and raised his hands to Gu Ren.
"Junior Kong Xiangyun has met senior."
Gu Ren glanced at the halo not far away and saw that it was a brilliant illusion. He turned to look at Kong Xiangyun and said lightly, "You must be the one who leads the alliance."
"Exactly!" Kong Xiangyun replied.
Gu Ren no longer paid attention to Kong Xiangyun, put on a smiling face, cupped his hands at Ji Liao and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we are allies, as the old saying goes, you can't get to know each other without fighting, hahaha."
Ji Liao responded with a salute, "Yes, I really didn't expect that."
"Since the two seniors know each other, let's go inside and talk. There are already many seniors waiting there." Kong Xiangyun said from the side.
"Please!" Gu Ren made a gesture of invitation towards Ji Liao and said.
"Please!" Ji Liao replied, without any hesitation, he jumped up and fell into the aura of the void.
Gu Ren and Kong Xiangyun followed and flew into the corridor in the halo.
As soon as the three of them entered, the halo in the void immediately trembled, shrank suddenly, and disappeared into the void with a soft hum.
In the corridor, Kong Xiangyun led the way, while Ji Liao walked side by side with Gu Ren.
The corridor is about a hundred feet long, and the two walls are embedded with luminous crystals at regular intervals. The light is bright, and the end of the corridor can be seen at a glance.
At the end of the corridor is a huge stone door, which is tightly closed and has a huge spiritual pattern engraved on it.
Not long after, the three of them arrived in front of the stone gate.
The three of them stopped, and Kong Xiangyun immediately took out a token and pointed at the stone gate.
A stream of light immediately flashed out of the token and hit the stone gate directly.
There was a slight buzzing sound, and the spiritual pattern on the stone door suddenly lit up with a golden light. It twisted up like an earthworm and swam to both sides. Then a rumbling sound was heard, and the huge stone door opened in the center. Split to both sides.
His vision suddenly opened up, and he saw that there was a huge hall inside the stone gate.
The main hall was about a hundred acres in size. There was no decoration inside, and it looked simple and empty overall.
There is a stone platform about ten feet high deep in the hall. There are more than a thousand futons on the ground in front of the stone platform. At this time, more than half of the futons have people sitting there. A rough estimate is that there are at least seven hundred people.
These people were all sitting cross-legged in meditation. Suddenly they heard the stone door open. They woke up from their meditation at the same time and looked towards Ji Liao.
Ji Liao's eyebrows trembled and he whispered in his heart, "They are all mid-level monks!"
Among the more than 700 people, more than 200 are in the realm of the spiritual transformation stage, which is rarely seen in ordinary times, while the remaining 500 or so people are monks in the Sumeru realm like Ji Liao, and among them, eight or nine people have clear auras. But he was a monk at Hou Tianling level.
Ji Liao had seen a bigger scene than this when he got married to Yu Yunzhao. At this time, he secretly clicked his tongue, but on the surface he could still hold his nerve.
On the other hand, the situation was different for Gu Ren beside him. He could see Gu Ren staring at him with big eyes and a look of shock on his face. It was obvious that he had never seen so many mid-level monks gathered before.
"Such a big battle!" Gu Ren said dullly.
Ji Liao's heart sank when he heard this. It was no small matter for the Great Rebel Alliance to put up such a battle, and looking at the empty futons, it was obvious that there were far more than just them.
"Two seniors, you can find a place to rest at your leisure. I think it's almost time. I guess the master will show up soon." At this time, Kong Xiangyun turned back to Ji Liao and Gu Ren and said.
"Master?" Ji Liao raised his eyebrows.
A smile appeared on Kong Xiangyun's handsome face, and he moved his lips slightly to send a message to Ji Liao, "This is not a place for talking. If Senior Ji wants to know, I will talk to Senior Ji when I have free time in the future."
Ji Liao nodded and didn't say much.
Kong Xiangyun bowed his hands to Ji Liao and Gu Ren, and exited the hall. Immediately, a rumbling sound sounded, and the door of the hall was closed again.
The palace door closed, and the more than 700 people in the venue withdrew their gazes again, no longer paying attention to Ji Liao and Gu Ren. They chatted with acquaintances around them for a few words before closing their eyes and meditating.
Ji Liao looked around, then found a corner and sat down cross-legged.
Gu Ren immediately followed him, sat down next to Ji Liao, and moved his lips slightly to send a message to Ji Liao, "I am Gu Ren, I have known my Taoist friend for many years and I still don't know his name."
Ji Liao looked back at Gu Ren and simply replied, "Ji Liao!"
"Oh! I've met Fellow Daoist Ji." Gu Ren agreed, his big eyes turned sharply, and asked again, "Did Fellow Daoist see anything?"
Ji Liao shook his head slightly.
"I think this mission of the Great Rebellion Alliance is definitely not trivial, and there may be a risk of death." Gu Ren continued.
"Oh? What does fellow Taoist mean?" Ji Liao smiled
replied.
"Hehehe, I see that fellow Taoist Ji came here alone. Since fellow Taoist Xiong Hen has nowhere to go, if something big happens in the future, how about you and I joining forces?"
When Ji Liao attracted the Skygrabbers, Gu Ren turned around and ran away without saying a word, completely ignoring Xiong Hen's life and death. He was definitely a treacherous person in order to survive.
But that's okay, Ji Liao came alone, and this ancient blade was also a helper. If something difficult happened, he could just run away on his own, and Ji Liao was sure that this ancient blade must also think so.
"OK!"
Thinking of this, Ji Liao's eyes flashed and he nodded in agreement.
"Then it's settled." Gu Ren said.
"Um!"
Ji Liao replied.
After saying that, the two of them stopped talking and closed their eyes to meditate and regulate their breathing.
There was no time in the main hall. I don't know how long it had passed, but I saw a blood-red mist suddenly floating on the stone platform in front of everyone, and it twisted and condensed into a figure.
The man was an old man, but he had long bloody hair, red eyes, and the skin on his face was as pale as paper, like a living corpse.
Everyone who was meditating woke up and looked at the stone platform at the same time.
Ji Liao looked over. When he saw the old man's appearance clearly, his eyes trembled and he whispered, "The Blood Slaughter Clan member... But why does this man look so familiar?"
Ji Liao discovered that the person on the high platform was an old man who had massacred blood. His aura was huge and contained a fierce blood aura. He was actually a great monk with innate Yuanling. However, Ji Liao always felt that when he looked at the old man's appearance, It seemed like I had seen him somewhere, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
At this time, whispers of discussion reached Ji Liao's ears.
"Hey, this...isn't this the old demon of blood sacrifice!"
"What? Do you know him?"
"You're kidding, how could I possibly know such a person?"
"Then who is he?"
"You idiot, he is the 18th most wanted monk on the Heavenly Palace's most wanted list, the Old Demon of Blood Sacrifice."
"Ah, this, this..."
After hearing these comments, Ji Liao suddenly woke up and suddenly remembered where he had seen this monk. It turned out that he was on the wanted list of Tiangong.
Discussions resumed.
"Why is he here? Why is he wanted by Tiangong?"
"It is said that he practiced the evil art of blood sacrifice. He once set up a blood sacrifice array and performed a blood sacrifice on a majestic city in the Soul Society overnight. Both the people of the Heavenly Palace and the monks became his blood food. As for Ask him why he is here."
"How is it possible? There are more than hundreds of millions of people in a great city."
"Hmph, otherwise why do you think Tiangong wants him? You have to know that people like you and me are not qualified to be wanted by Tiangong."
Ji Liao's heart fluctuated slightly as he listened to the whispers around him. He didn't expect that this old man was secretly a murderous god.
But it is said that the monks on the most wanted list of Tiangong are without exception strong men who dominate the party, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Of course, Ji Liao was lucky enough to be on that honorary list, and unexpectedly sat on an equal footing with these people for a while.
