Volume 1: The Rise of the East Continent Chapter 34: The Valley of Thunder
The one who spoke was an old man.
It was loud and slow, but everyone present could hear it.
The moment the old man spoke, it was as if the air of this dust edge peak had been condensed.
The old man held a handful of dust whisks, and his white hair was not tied up, as if it was moving with the wind, and it seemed to be automatic without wind. The old man was kind and kind, and at this time he was nodding and smiling with a strand of snow-white beard.
Li Renxian was standing behind the old man at this moment, half a body away from him. Behind the two of them stood ten academy elders, all of whom were between the third rank of the Divine Thought Realm and the seventh rank of the Divine Thought Realm, and their faces were very respectful.
"This is the dean of our Lingzhen Academy, spotless. In Pearl City, there is only a second-grade monk of the Six Realms Melting Heaven Realm. ”
Chu Yingxue glanced at Mo Yang and whispered, Mo Yang nodded after listening.
At this time, with Dean Chen's words, the scene began to become orderly.
The families and disciples of the various families who participated in the trial stood up one after another, and the other monks, pharmacists, and nobles who came to watch the battle also settled down one after another, and they all looked at the dust in front of the hall without saying a word.
All of this shows the status of Dust in Pearl City and its supreme authority.
After a moment of silence at the scene, he brushed his beard with satisfaction and slowly spoke again.
"The trial of the four major families, once in twenty years, is the top priority of each family, and it is also an important thing in Pearl City. Although the academy does not participate in family disputes in the city, it will preside over and adjudicate the matter fairly. According to the rules, the one who tests the first family will be the lord of the Pearl City for the next twenty years......"
"In this trial, the participants are all dragons and phoenixes among the younger generation, in order to prevent accidents, the trial disciples cannot protect themselves when they encounter high-level demonic beasts, the old man specially prepared a fish-patterned jade pendant this time, one per person. When there is a fear of life in the valley, if you crush the jade pendant, you will be immediately taken out of the Thundering Valley by the magic circle, which also means that the trial is failed...... If all three children of a family fail the trial, they are automatically disqualified from the competition. ”
After finishing speaking, he paused, and turned back to signal to the academy elders. The elders understood and began to distribute jade pendants one by one.
Mo Yang was confused in his heart at this time. Secretly thought, if there is this fish-patterned jade pendant, then where will Ruan Tiansi, the city lord of Liuli City, start? Outside the Thundering Valley, with so many people present, it is impossible.
If it is in the Thundering Valley, then what ability does the Ghost Sect have to test the disciples to enter the valley first, and not be discovered by the dust? Could it be that the elders of the Ghost Sect are also powerful cultivators of the Tongtian Realm? Moreover, with the fish-patterned jade pendant in his hand, as long as he is worried about his life, he can crush it out of the valley at any time, how can Ruan Tiansi kill without fail?
Just as Mo Yang was in doubt, the old man's voice sounded in his head again.
"The mysterious woman in black is in that eight-story exquisite pagoda at this moment...... It seems that this spotlessness may not be as simple as it seems......"
Mo Yang suddenly realized. If Dust is also a member of the Ghost Gate, then everything can be explained logically and reasonably. No wonder for such a long time, under Chu Tianxiao's strict inquiry, there was no trace of the man in black who had poisoned him.
It turned out that he was hiding in this Lingzhen Academy.
No wonder, after the auction, the old man told Mo Yang that the mysterious man in black had been staying in the south of the city.
Could it be that the three elders Chu Lan and Chu Yukun, who had never left the city and had no clues, were also hiding here?
However, if the dust is not clean and has something to do with the Ghost Gate, Ruan Tiansi, and Chu Lan, why do you still want to give the person of the trial, the mermaid pattern jade pendant? Isn't the fish pattern jade pendant and Ruan Tiansi's assassination contradictory?
While Mo Yang was still trying to find out what the connection between them was, Dusty spoke in a deep voice again.
"I announce that the trial of the four major families has officially begun!"
The voice landed, and there was a roar from the audience.
The children of various families who participated in the trial also seemed to have a burst of excitement on their faces at this moment.
Dusty brushed his beard, waved the dust, and motioned for the children of the four major families participating in the trial to come forward.
Then, the dust swept into the air, silently reciting the mantra of the exercises, and the dust began to grow slowly until finally, like a huge white ship, floating in the air.
The children's faces were overjoyed, and then they jumped up and jumped on the dust.
Standing at the forefront of the dust, standing with his hands in his hands, his posture is upright.
Whisking the dust into the air, he flew towards the Thundering Valley of Fengtian Peak in an instant.
Among these children, except for Yu Gongying, it may be the first time to really "fly the royal object". Above the volley, ethereal, all of them looked excited, indescribable, and some even grabbed the clouds and mist in the air a few times with their hands.
Yu Gongying was disdainful of this. Under the squint, when he saw Mo Yang, who was also calm, he had a hint of surprise on his face.
Mo Yang laughed in return, and then ignored it.
After a while, the dust slowly fell. Dust Edge Peak, Thunder Valley. It has stood in front of everyone's eyes.
The dust is not clean, the hands are sealed, and the mantra is silently recited, and in an instant, a forbidden entrance appears in the valley.
Everyone looked at each other, and then flashed in.
Mo Yang felt a burst of dazzling light, fleeting. The feeling is somewhat similar to when you enter the Futu Pagoda.
When I opened my eyes again, there was no one around.
Could it be that this forbidden entrance is still a random teleportation? Thundering Valley is so big, where can I go to find Chu Ruochen and Chu Yingxue?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard an exclamation, help!
Mo Yang's aura immediately overflowed his body, and his body was like a bolt of lightning, sweeping away along the shout.
After a few breaths, through the layers of mountains, Mo Yang saw the exclamation clearly.
This person is Chu Ruochen, who is deep in a swamp at the moment.
It just so happened that Chu Yingxue also heard this shout, and after rushing over, she instantly smiled when she saw Mo Yang and Chu Ruochen together.
"That's great, I'm wondering where to find you. Brother Ruochen, what are you doing in the mud?"
When Chu Ruochen heard this question, his face was full of tears and laughter.
"As soon as I stepped into the forbidden entrance, I felt a wave of dizziness. When you open your eyes again, that's what you see...... This swamp is very strange, it can suppress the aura of my body, and I can't jump out, so I can't cry out for help...... I'm glad I ran into you, Brother Mo, pull me up. ”
Mo Yang shook his head helplessly, and was about to stretch out his hand, when he suddenly felt a strange movement in the depths of the swamp. It was as if under the swamp, something was crawling slowly, and bubbles were emitting everywhere it passed.
At this time, Chu Ruochen also felt that there was an unknown creature behind him, and his scalp suddenly went numb, and he wanted to exclaim.
Seeing this, Mo Yang hurriedly stretched out his hand to silence him.
Then he wrapped his aura around his body again, and cautiously stared at every move in the swamp.
The thing was still crawling slowly under the mud, and when it was close to Chu Ruochen's less than three feet away, it suddenly made a strange grunt from its throat. When the voice sounded, it was as if the air around it was a little colder.
"Ice Soul Lizard?"
The corners of Mo Yang's mouth smiled slightly, and his whole body instantly exerted force. The golden aura was like a whirlwind, stepping on the mud surface of the swamp and instantly rushing towards this demonic beast. Between the lightning and flint, Mo Yang kicked in the air, and the golden aura seemed to be substantial, only to see a golden flash of light shoot out, bringing out the demonic beast hidden under the swamp three inches in the air, and kicking it away.
Sou!
Only the sound of the wind was heard, and there was no movement.
"It's okay this time, I'll pull you up. ”
After doing all this, Mo Yang smiled easily, and when the golden aura flashed again, Chu Ruochen was already standing outside the swamp covered in mud.
"Brother Mo, what was that just now? It scared me to death, I still have chills in my body. ”
"A fourth-order mid-level demonic beast, an ice soul lizard. ”
"Fourth-Order Medium Demonic Beast?!What kind of life am I! Fortunately, I met Brother Mo, otherwise I would have to crush this fish-patterned jade pendant......"
Brother Ruochen hurriedly went to the stream next to him to wash it and changed into clean clothes, it stinked to death. ”
Chu Yingxue covered her nose and said coquettishly. After speaking, he didn't forget to look at Mo Yang a few times again.
"After my brother rose to a big realm, he was so powerful. It seems that I am also going to find time to cultivate well. Otherwise, wouldn't you never be able to catch up with your brother......"
"If you want to live up to this body, I'm afraid this Pearl City is still too small...... Unless, go to some big sects. ”
Before the two finished speaking, Chu Ruochen had already changed into a beige shirt and walked slowly, feeling a little like a jade tree in the wind.
"Okay, we'll have to be careful later. This valley is very weird, and I don't know where to look for the phoenix spirit fruit, so I have to be more cautious in all actions. ”
After Mo Yang finished speaking, both of them nodded seriously, and then the three of them walked towards the depths of the valley.
Thundering Valley, itself is in the Fengtian Peak, the people are excellent, and it is left by powerful monks, although there is no lack of fairy grass elixir, but the valley is really weird. And there are many magical beasts in this valley. In less than half a day, Mo Yang and the others had already killed nearly thirty demonic beasts. Although, the highest level of these is only the fourth-order intermediate level, and most of the rest are third-order demonic beasts, but this is inevitably too much.
Moreover, the swamp traps in the valley, the air environment, and the Gangfeng Demon Beasts all seem to be unusual.
This Thundering Valley is more like being used for suppression or sealing......
Mo Yang pondered while observing the environment in the valley. And when the divine consciousness is dispersed, it is as if there is a magic circle shielding. With Moyang's current ability to reach the Heavenly Realm in the Eight Realms, his divine sense in this valley could not detect three miles, which was simply incredible.
Could it be that this master who created the Thunder Valley and the Lingzhen Academy was also a powerful cultivator of the Eight Realms Heavenly Realm? Moreover, it seemed that he did it on purpose.
"Brother, look, what's ahead?"
Chu Yingxue's burst of joy interrupted Mo Yang's contemplation. Looking up, there seemed to be a small silver light array.
This magic circle is about ten zhang, and there is a surge of spiritual light on it. Looking closely, there seemed to be a spiritual artifact in the circle, inserted on top of a broken stone staircase, glowing purple light in a flickering light.
"This ...... Could it be a spirit sword?"
