The majestic Yidi Mountain.
Several months have passed since the start of the secret trial.
But for a monk whose lifespan can easily exceed thousands of years, a few months is undoubtedly a fleeting moment.
At this time, the mountain top, which was originally battered and devastated, has become brand new thanks to the repairs by the disciples of Mount Di.
But a sense of chilling still lingers around here.
Because as time goes by, the secret realm trial is coming to an end, and the highlight of the event - the Emperor's Sacrifice - is about to begin.
Some forces that had not arrived at Yidi Mountain in time before, also arrived here one after another under the stimulation of Emperor Ji and Xu Yue.
This also led to the overcrowding on the top of Yidi Mountain, where various forces converged, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons. Looking at it, there were nearly ten giants, which overwhelmed some so-called ancient religions and could not hold their heads up at all.
Among them, there is a special force. Although it only has a few people and is not very powerful, it occupies one of the most central positions in the venue, arrogant among the others.
They have no elders accompanying them, no flags waving, no crowds behind them, but no one dares to look down upon them.
dawn!
"Hey! Meng, what are you looking at! If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
Xiao Hu had already woken up and was sitting on the ground, pointing at Meng Jin of Tai Zong in the distance and raising his middle finger.
Meng Jin was speechless, looking at the arrogant Xiao Hu and the several proud figures beside him with an extremely cold expression.
"Stop talking to me!"
Fu Xiang, the survivor, stood behind Xiao Hu and pinched his shoulder so hard that Xiao Hu screamed in pain.
"It's good to be young."
On the side, Qi Yuan was also sitting on the ground, watching the two fighting with a soft smile on his face, as if he was thinking of himself back then.
His condition is very bad. He should have died a hundred years ago. He used secret techniques to forcibly seal the flow of life. However, in the battle not long ago, he was injured by Mo Yu's dagger and his vitality gate could not be stopped. The decline is irreversible.
"Can you still hold on for him to come back?" Jiang Li stood beside him, looking down at Qi Yuan, whose body was a little illusory and gradually weakening, and asked coldly.
"No problem, there are some things I haven't said to the boss yet." Qi Yuan waved his hand and continued to sit on the ground, holding his chin and looking at a bald head in the distance.
As if aware of his gaze, Mo Dao looked at it with worry and doubt.
"Why don't you come and sit down?" Qi Yuan said with a smile.
"this……"
Mo Dao opened his mouth and struggled internally. He wanted to lift his feet several times and walk away, but finally held back.
Because he knew that once he took this step, the achievements he had made after finally cutting off the mortal world, escaping into the Dry Stone Courtyard, and cultivating the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years would be gone.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan was not surprised. He just said seriously to Mo Dao: "You were in a dilemma about what happened back then. Leaving may be the best choice for you, so no matter what, we and the boss I don’t blame you…I just hope you won’t live with guilt in the days to come.”
When Mo Dao heard this, his eyes gradually turned red and he remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he cupped his fists and bowed to Qi Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you very much... Let me know when you want to leave, and I will give you a ride."
Qi Yuan was startled, looked at his body, smiled and nodded.
"Guilty? Humph, it sounds great."
At this time, a cold snort suddenly came from the side. Several people looked and saw Duan Mutian standing there in black, looking at them with a stern expression.
"Mo Dao, why do you feel guilty? If you hadn't stopped Qingxuan before, Zong Qing might not have died!" Duan Mutian walked over, and when he mentioned his close friend, his words were full of hatred.
Not far away, Zuo Qingxuan from the Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom was holding a folding fan, with a calm face and no expression.
"I……"
Mo Dao paused, thinking about the blond man who had a close relationship with him but had been killed by Xu Yue, and his eyes dimmed a bit.
In his heart, everyone is still a brother and sister in the organization, and he does not want to see anyone die.
"If you come to us with anything, don't be embarrassed."
Clang!
Seeing Duan Mutian approaching, Jiang Li took out Xue An and greeted him expressionlessly.
"Jiang Lang!"
In the distance, Haitian Cheng's Hong Xiu's expression changed, and she was about to stop Jiang Li. However, as soon as she took two steps, a sharp long sword was pressed between her swan-like neck.
"do not move."
Lu Jiuzhou sighed, with emotion but determination.
"Brother Lu, why do you have to stop me!" Hongxiu looked at Lu Jiuzhou, and then at Duan Jiang, who was about to confront each other again, with extremely anxious expressions.
In the other direction, Huang Nu also stared at Zuo Qingxuan, while Qi Yuan stood up with a sigh, guarding against the demon in Tianmo Ridge.
As for Qilinzi, he just wants to avenge his father's murder. If Xu Yue is not here, he will not cause trouble to anyone.
The two sides were at war with each other again, and many people subconsciously retreated, not wanting to get involved in their grudges.
After all, these people are too terrifying. If you pick any one, they are all famous geniuses in the Immortal Realm.
But some people did not retreat. Instead, they observed the two groups of people in the field with inexplicable expressions.
For example, Lord Shang, Jian Chen, and Oiran stood together.
"My dear friend, if Xu Yue is not here and the two parties start fighting, who do you think is better?" Jian Chen was bandaged, and although his face was heavy, he still looked at the field with burning eyes.
Shang Jun frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't call me that! Also, why are you so interested in discussing combat power?"
"So, dear friend, this is where we are different!"
Jian Chen smiled and said confidently: "The sword is a weapon of killing, and it is a weapon of martial arts! If we, the sword cultivators, do not pay attention to the comparison of strength, how can we use the sword's intention to traverse the world?"
"I……"
Shang Jun was speechless after being told that, and finally just shut up and stopped discussing with this sword madman.
On the other hand, the oiran on the side took over the words and said: "Even if Mr. Xu is not here, the strength of these two parties is about the same...but now, I am afraid they will not be able to fight."
Listening to this pleasant voice, Shang Jun looked over subconsciously, only to see the flower-like beauty next to him observing the unparalleled Lu Jiuzhou. He silently withdrew his gaze and said no more.
And just as the oiran said, just when Duan Mutian and Jiang Li were about to clash, a figure suddenly came from the distance and stood above the two of them.
"Two little friends, the secret realm trial is about to determine the winner, and the subsequent Emperor's Sacrifice is the most important ceremony of our Yidi Mountain. Can you please give me a favor and avoid any further disputes?"
Bai Xi looked at the two of them with a smile. Although his words were inquiring, they had a strong meaning of warning.
He felt helpless. Since Xu Yue left, the two groups had to fight like this every few days. Once, they even got into a fight, accidentally injuring several small sects.
Since then, the top management of Yidi Mountain has made the decision not to allow these two parties to act recklessly again.
At this time, after hearing Bai Xi's words, Jiang Li and Duan Mutian looked at each other, their eyes flickering, and finally they chose to sheath their swords and walked back.
In the distance, Lu Jiuzhou also clasped his fists at Hong Xiu and left. Huang Nu covered her with her cloak again, and Qi Yuan, who was seriously injured, also sat down again.
The atmosphere at the scene relaxed, and many timid people breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no fight.
"Report!!"
At this moment, a disciple of Yidi Mountain suddenly ran from a distance, went straight to the bottom of Baixi River, and said loudly: "Report to the ancestor, the Emperor's Palace has orders, please return immediately, ancestor, we have important matters to discuss!"
"Emperor Palace?"
Bai Xi was startled, his brows gradually furrowed, and his expression became serious.
