The matter of mediating the disputes between the side branches finally fell on the Five Elements Sect. Pu Tianwei appointed Chu Ge as the chief envoy, Zhang Guanfeng and Kou Yucheng as deputy envoys, accompanied by Wei Shiqi and Yu Youhuan, and set off immediately to act expediently.
After the Tianling Incident, the Elder Council ordered Feiyu Sect to suppress the monsters, which alarmed a sect leader and an elder. Xianyun Peak mediated. The Five Elements Sect only sent out a handful of second-generation disciples, but their weight was not inferior to that of Zhang Chonghua and Zhang Chongyang brothers. . Chu Geyin is obviously the next leader of the Five Elements Sect. Kou Yucheng has been sharpening his sword for ten years and has his first glimpse of the sword realm. Wei Shiqi became a blockbuster in the year-end gambling game. Behind these three people stood Ziyang Taoist and Pu Tianwei, and Liushi Feng. The two giant pillars that support the sky have always been known to protect their weaknesses. Who dares to underestimate them?
Halfway through the journey, the five of them split into two groups. Chu, Wei, and Yu went straight to Xianyun Peak, while Zhang and Kou turned back to Guimen Yuan.
At dawn, in the Sanqing Hall of Changyingguan, the heads of the five sects Pingyuan, Liyang, Xuantong, Yuxu, and Xiandu saw the envoy from Kunlun. When Ji Hongru saw that the envoy was the first disciple of Pu Tianwei, the leader of the Five Elements Sect, he immediately put down his mind. In his heart, he had met Chu Ge several times at Liushi Peak. Every time he visited Pu Tianwei, he would be seen serving him, and he was deeply valued by the sect master.
Feijian passed the letter, but the words were unclear. Chu Ge first asked about the details.
It turns out that Ji Hongru and Qi both came from the Kunpeng Sect and learned a secret method that used essence and blood as a guide. They enshrined the soul lamp in the Five Views Hall of Qianrenfeng. On that day, Qi Du went to Guimenyuan to kill the human-faced dove and collected the soul to sacrifice it to refine the human-faced flag, intending to capture his old rival Qi Luo and absorb him into the flag to serve as the main soul. Five or seven days later, the soul lamp left by Qi Du suddenly went out. Ji Hongru, the head of Pingyuan, knew that something had changed, so he united with the other factions to go to Guimenyuan, promising huge profits, and wiping out the monsters for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and actually tracking down Qi Du. Cause of death, sword pouch and storage bag recovered.
It's just a matter of returning the other things nearby. The Chuixing Sword is a relic of his mentor and cannot be lost.
The four sects of Pingyuan, Liyang, Xuantong and Yuxu all sent their elites, especially the Pingyuan sect. The ten sons of Pingyuan, excluding the sixth ranked Qi Du and the seventh ranked Qian Ju'an, all came out. , set up a trap outside the Guimen Abyss, and lured the human-faced dove and the red-eyed snake to attack. They fought for a while and killed countless people. Qi Luo and Gou Xie were defeated by the sword cultivators and hid in the abyss and did not dare to show their faces.
Everyone searched around, but did not find Qi Du's whereabouts. Instead, they found a strange corpse on the other side of the Ghost Gate Abyss. The clothes were in rags, and the flesh and bones had been eaten away by monsters. It was beyond recognition and only a white skeleton was left.
Cao Yu from the Xuantong Sect was very attentive and noticed that his mouth was empty, without even a single tooth. She remembered that there was a disciple from the outer sect of the Xiandu Sect, known as the Toothless Marquis Jiangcheng, who had the excellent talent of being born with thirteen apertures, but in the end he failed. Condensed into a Taoist body, he had to be transferred to the outer sect to perform labor, and he was filled with regret.
After receiving her reminder, Qiu Mushi found several dark iron rings from the cracks in the rocks next to the corpse. They were tokens used by the Xiandu sect to recruit trial disciples. Each of the seven sects was different. These iron rings confirmed Hou Jiangcheng's identity.
Although Xiandu did not participate in this purge, after all, they were both from the Kunlun branch, and one of their disciples was killed. Due to both emotion and reason, they should be informed. Han Chisong ordered his disciples to put away Hou Jiangcheng's body and return it to Deng Yuantong, the acting head of the Immortal City, on their return journey, and take care of the personnel.
After a battle, Cao Yu took advantage of the victory to pursue. Cao Yu sneaked into the Guimen Abyss with a dazzling golden rope and found out the cave where Gouxie was hiding. The leaders of the five factions led the group to go deep into the enemy's cave, captured him alive, and killed Gouxie, the red-eyed snake king, and seriously injured him. , fled into the depths of the abyss of hell and disappeared without a trace.
Ji Hongru found a skeleton from Qi Luo's side and tortured him severely. Only then did he learn that Qi Luo used hell fire to destroy the human-faced flag, and Qi Du was forced to retreat into the forest and fell into a tight siege. The human-faced dove and the red-eyed snake They attacked from above and below, and finally escaped with strong support. They settled outside the forest and felt a faint threat. They hesitated again and again and never entered the forest. The few human-faced doves that managed to escape were extremely frightened. The words of the birds were limited and could not be distinguished. The details, including shouting and gestures, are only known to be that one person wields a sword and the other wields a fist, which is extremely powerful.
Late that night, there was a commotion under the Ghost Gate Abyss, with monsters fighting for flesh and blood. It took a while to calm down. A human-faced dove snatched a human head and offered it to Qiluo for tasting. Qiluo was shocked to discover that it turned out to be the leader of the Six Yangs of the enemy Qidu! She was overjoyed and gnawed away the skin and flesh, leaving behind a snow-white skull. The more she looked at it, the more she felt resentful. She carried it around her waist and never left it, taking it out and caressing it from time to time.
Qi Du's skeleton was connected to a small section of his spine, and the cut was smooth. It was obviously cut off with a sharp weapon, and he succeeded with a clean blow.
Ji Hongru pressed Qi Du's body and flying sword storage bag. Qi Luo said that those things fell into the depths of the Guimen Abyss and could not be retrieved. The deeper the Guimen Abyss went, the more powerful the monsters were. The human-faced dove The snake with red eyes only appears within a hundred feet or so near the stone beam, and never dares to enter the real abyss.
Everyone knew that it was not just a dove with a human face but a snake with red eyes. Kunlun and the seven branches of the seven sects in the past generations had sent experts to explore the abyss of the ghost gate, reaching a depth of a hundred feet at most. Going further down, there was a narrow escape, and no one survived.
Qi Du died mysteriously, and the top priority is to find the two people who can help him break out of the siege.
The group searched around Yin Yang Ridge but did not find any clues, so they had to return. As a coincidence, they accidentally captured the three-eyed civet Miao Zi, and then led out Qin Zhen, Qi Qi, a disciple of Wei Rongniang of the Xiandu sect. Du's disciple Deng Xie suddenly mentioned that that day he and Shang Jiannan went to Xianyun Peak to meet Deng Yuantong and invited him to move to Qianren Peak to discuss the matter of combining the efforts of various factions to clear the Guimenyuan. Occasionally, I heard people mention that Kunlun Royal Sword Wei Shiqi of the sect happened to be at Xianyun Peak and stayed for several days.
Ji Hongru's heart clicked. One person used the sword and the other punched. It was just a matter of using the sword to return the favor. After all, the Kunlun Sword practitioner was used to hitting enemies with flying swords. If he punched... he doubted whether these two people were Wei Shi. Qi and Qin Zhen.
Wei Shiqi had already returned to Liushi Peak, so Ji Hongru went to Xianyun Peak in person and asked Deng Yuantong for Qin Zhen on the grounds of investigating the crime of "travelling with demons". However, Deng Yuantong always protected Qin Zhen and refused to let go.
