At the eastern end of the Holy Dragon Continent, there is a swamp of thousands of miles, shrouded in poisonous miasma all the year round, and there are almost no creatures here, only fierce beasts suitable for swamps and poisonous miasma lurk in hidden places.

Deep in the swamp, stands a mountain that is black in smog.

This black mountain, with its rocky rocks and strange shapes, is like a demon hideous.

On the top of the Black Mountain, in the mist, a palace building can be seen.

These palace buildings are all dark and dull buildings, not like the red walls and green tiles that can be seen everywhere in the Holy Dragon Continent, and the colors are beautiful palace buildings.

These dark and dreary palaces do not have a trace of living habitation, they are cold and cold, just like the palaces and pavilions of the underworld, which makes people creepy.

In this group of palaces that are like underworlds, on top of a building dozens of stories high, a mysterious man wearing a black robe, a cloak on his head, and a white mask on his face, only revealing two eyes that are as sharp as blades and flash with a breathtaking edge.

In front of the mysterious man is a piano platform with a guqin on it.

The two palms of the mysterious man stretched out from their black sleeves and placed them on the strings of the guqin, which were two palms as old as old bark, full of folds.

From the palm of this old bark-like hand, it can be seen that this mysterious man seems to be extremely old.

The mysterious man plucked the guqin with ten fingers in both hands, the strings vibrated and immediately agitated, and the sound of the piano like a knife and a sword burst out, rippling between the dark and heavy palace buildings.

The silence of the Black Mountain, the palace buildings, only the sound of the piano ripples, making the world seem extremely empty.

The sound of the agitated piano suddenly changed, the sound of the piano was loud, and the murderous aura suddenly rose, as if it was difficult to calm the hatred and killing intent, and it was poured out unscrupulously through the sound of the piano.

And the mysterious man who played the piano had a sharp edge in his eyes, which was also extremely terrifying, glowing with blood and murderous aura.

At that moment, there was a thud, and one of the strings snapped, and the playing stopped.

"Yuan Zheng, why are you back?" the mysterious man withdrew his hands from the strings, his gaze returned to calm, and the old voice said slowly.

At this time, thousands of meters away from the top of the Black Mountain, at the foot of a rock, there stood an old man with a disheveled head, a pale face, and a bloody mouth with a tired face.

This old man was Yuan Zheng who escaped from Thousand Dragon City.

Yuan Zheng listened to the voice coming from the building on the top of the mountain, a trace of shame appeared on his face, and he looked at the top of the mountain with his fists and said: "Master, disciple Yuan Zheng has disappointed you, and the disciple was unfortunately defeated by one person and lost Qianlong City. ”

"Who was defeated, and why did you lose Thousand Dragons?" asked the mysterious man majestically from the top of the mountain.

Yuan Zheng didn't hide anything, and then defeated Lin Fei and took away Qianlong City.

Of course, he didn't say that the reason why Lin Fei would settle accounts with the Yuan family was because his sons Yuan Hong and Yuan Long arrested Lin Fei's woman.

"You are an important existence arranged by me in the Holy Dragon Continent, and I originally wanted to use you to expand my power in the Holy Dragon Continent, but I didn't expect that you would disappoint me so much, you couldn't take more cultivation cities for me, and you lost the Thousand Dragon City in your hands, and you are no longer my Nangong Sheng's disciple. The mysterious man in the building on the top of the mountain said in an indifferent voice.

Yuan Zheng, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and hurriedly begged: "Master don't expel me from the door, the disciple is willing to atone for his sins." ”

"Atonement for your sins, if I'm not mistaken, you escaped back this time because you used the forbidden power, and once you use the forbidden power, then your power will also be exhausted and will never be recovered. The mysterious man's cold voice resounded through the mountains and clouds.

Yuan Zheng's eyes flashed with pain, that's right, the reason why he was able to escape from Lin Fei's hands was that he finally opened the forbidden power to escape through that talisman seal.

However, the biggest price of using forbidden power is that you will run out of power and lose all your martial arts.

"Master, I can cultivate again, as long as I am given time, I will definitely be able to recover my original strength. Yuan Zheng immediately looked at the top of the mountain, a little flustered, and said full of pleading.

However, the mysterious man's voice was still cold and ruthless: "Since you have lost the Thousand Dragons City and your martial arts, then you will be of no use to me, and in the future, you will no longer be the red scorpion among the seven scorpions that I have cultivated, you can take a boat and leave!"

After saying this, the mysterious man broke the strings of the guqin again and replaced them with new strings.

Then the sound of the tinkling dong piano sounded again, drifting in the foggy world of Montenegro.

Under the mountain, Yuan Zheng looked desperate, he seemed to know that no matter what he said, it would have no effect.

Then he turned away and came to a river.

This great river winds through the swamp for thousands of miles, and is the only way to get in and out of the swamp covered by a poisonous miasma.

There was a small boat by the river, Yuan Zheng got into the boat, grabbed the oars, and just rowed less than a few tens of meters on the river.

"Ga!~~~" At this moment, from the clouds and mist above the black mountain, there was a sound of carving gold and cracking silk.

Then, from the clouds, a large black shadow suddenly appeared, a huge black shadow several meters long, like a large black cloud flying down from the sky.

But this is not a black cloud, but a black eagle.

A black eagle with a tuft of white feathers on its head, eyes like electricity, and a golden beak, a powerful and fierce bird breath, emanated from this black eagle.

The huge black eagle swooped down from the clouds and mist above, as if hunting its prey, and the sound of breaking through the sky when it flew down made the air tremble, and the wind and clouds rolled, and the vast murderous aura raged the heavens and the earth.

Yuan Zheng, who rowed away, saw the black eagle swooping down in the air, his face changed drastically, and a frightened voice came out of his mouth: "No, master, you can't kill me! I have no merit and hard work, master, will you spare me?"

However, before his words fell, the giant eagle swooped down from the air, and the eagle claws, which were as sharp as steel claws, had already pierced Yuan Zheng's chest.

In the scream, Yuan Zheng had been caught by the fierce black eagle's claws and flew up, and as soon as he flew into the air, the black eagle's claws tore Yuan Zheng to pieces at once.

Yuan Zheng's body was torn to pieces and had not yet flown into the river, but when he heard a boom, the river opened, and suddenly a giant beast in the water burst out of the river, which was a giant python as thick as a bucket and covered with blood-red scales all over his body.

With an uproar, the python sank into the river, leaving only rippling waves on the surface of the river.

The huge black eagle, spreading its wings and flying, landed on the top roof of the building where the mysterious man played the piano, and folded its wings, like a ghost of hell, its eyes sharply patrolling the black mountain.

At this moment, a sound of breaking the sky came, only to see a light and shadow, flying down in front of the building, this is a middle-aged man dressed in black, he knelt on one knee, hugged his hands, and played the piano to the building and said to the mysterious person: "Master, the green scorpion has sent news from the Holy Dragon Realm, the Heavenly Saint Gem is about to appear, and Liu Tiandao, the supreme lord of the Holy Dragon Realm, has sent his eldest prince and two elders to Longhu Mountain, the border border of Ten Thousand Sword City and Liufeng City. ”

"It turns out that the Heavenly Saint Gem is in Longhu Mountain, Silver Scorpion, you take the rest of the senior brothers and rush to Longhu Mountain immediately, the Heavenly Saint Gem must not fall into the hands of Liu Tiandao. ”

"Yes, master. ”
