The ancient forest, about two or three hundred miles away from the main city of the Holy Church, is extremely vast, and its area is larger than the main city, which is full of towering ancient trees that have grown up for thousands of years, and there are even lofty mountains and deep underground pools, and ordinary people cannot set foot here at all.

However, it is precisely because it is inaccessible, so this is a paradise for many spirit beasts, and some people have even seen the existence of fairy beasts here.

Even people in the Mahayana Xuan Realm, or even the Earth Spirit Realm, may encounter danger when they come here.

However, there are many mercenary legions, some adventurers, who like to come here to hunt spirit beasts, find elixirs, and get rich rewards. But this is all a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife, and most of the outlaws.

However, this situation has completely changed after the news of Swallowing Spirit Yuan came out.

In front of those rare genius treasures, no matter how dangerous they are, they have been left behind, and many people regard this as the only chance to turn over in this life, and rush over frantically.

It is foreseeable that in the end, most of these people will stay here, and some of them will be killed by spirit beasts and eaten into their stomachs. But more likely to die at the hands of other powerful people.

After all, there is only one Spirit Swallowing Yuan, and those genius earth treasures are not infinite, and everyone regards others as competitors.

By the time they set foot here, an entire ancient forest had been turned into a brutal and bloody gladiatorial arena!

The distance of two or three hundred miles, for Ning Bufan and these strong people, is a matter of half a day, which is still deliberately maintaining physical strength and dealing with possible dangers at any time.

They set out in the morning and were deep in the forest by noon.

Along the way, from time to time, I saw a strong person running wildly and flying forward. After they saw Ning Bufan and these people, they all showed a trace of vigilance, and some of them even had a hint of killing intent, wanting to solve some competitors before they got close and rob some money in an instant.

However, when they sensed the aura of Ning Bufan's people, their faces changed and they hurriedly left.

For these small eyes, Ning Bufan and Liu Bai naturally didn't care too much.

"It seems that the Spirit Swallowing Yuan will not appear today. Let's set up camp here first, take a rest, and everyone is in the best shape possible. Liu Bai waved his hand and said to everyone.

He is the captain here, so he is naturally responsible for the itinerary and command, and his strength also makes everyone quite awe and convinced.

"The Spirit Swallowing Yuan is so mysterious, don't we need to send someone to investigate?" Ning Bufan asked with some curiosity after he stopped.

For this trip to the Spirit Swallowing Abyss, Ning Bufan was more anxious than anyone else.

When Liu Bai heard this, he didn't speak, as if he didn't care much about Ning Bufan's question.

Seeing this, Qinghuang said: "Don't worry, although there are only a dozen of us in our City Lord's Mansion this time, in fact, there are many forces in the main city that have submitted to us and have already gone first, and if they find out the news, they will send a message." ”

Ning Bufan heard the words and suddenly realized.

But soon, he realized a current situation, and when he recalled the look on this day, Liu Bai and the others looked at him and understood.

It turned out that he was not valued in this team at all, and a lot of information was not shared, Liu Bai and these people believed that they were from the City Lord's Mansion, and their status was noble, and they had a kind of contempt for those who came up from the Acropolis in their bones.

"Qinghuang, don't make a loud noise about these things, if someone hears them, won't it cause trouble?" Liu Bai said with some displeasure, his eyes glancing at Ning Bufan from time to time, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

As if he shouldn't have asked at all.

Ning Bufan closed his mouth in interest, silently found a big stone to sit down on the side, and meditated to recuperate.

Then everyone chatted for a while, but they still didn't wait for the news of those forces, and seeing that it was getting late, everyone looked at the surrounding terrain, chose a place near mountains and rivers, and set up camp.

In the process, Ning Bufan saw that these strong men in the City Lord's Mansion were extremely respectful to Liu Bai, and Liu Bai also had the momentum of leadership, acting in planning, commanding and scheduling, but there was a bit of the style of the city lord Su Qing.

It's not a loss that he is Su Qing's big disciple.

However, Ning Bufan is not the kind of person who competes for the limelight, he doesn't care about this, what he is thinking about now is to enter the Spirit Swallowing Abyss as soon as possible, find the treasure called Zimu Spirit Swallowing, and help Ji Hongyun get rid of the blood soul poison on his body.

"Senior Brother, I don't know how many people the Blood Worship Sect and the Star Moon Sect will send this time?" asked a strong man.

Liu Bai muttered: "Master said that there is a key to entering the Xuanji Immortal Pond in the Spirit Swallowing Abyss, so the Blood Worship Sect must have dispatched an extremely strong team this time, and it is said that the Heavenly Protector who has been hiding all this time has come out of the mountain." ”

"What?" The faces of the strong men suddenly showed anger, and they clenched their fists one by one.

Ning Bufan suddenly saw everyone's expressions and was a little surprised.

Suddenly, he saw Qinghuang coming over, and seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said lightly: "Before that day, the Dharma Protector was a demon in the main city of the Holy Hall, specializing in collecting people's essence and blood to refine weapons, killing countless people. Later, he was injured by the master, which directly destroyed his body. ”

But later I got the information, it turned out that this demon did not die, but was rescued by the blood worship sect master, helped him reshape his body, and was named the protector of the heavens. ”

"Many people here have family members or friends who have been poisoned by this Heavenly Protector, so they have a deep hatred for him. ”

When Ning Bufan heard this, he suddenly realized, and at the same time, he was secretly amazed that the Blood Worship Sect Master's methods could even help people reshape their physical bodies, and their strength was really terrifying!

He was stunned, but suddenly saw Qinghuang's expression was strange, and asked tentatively: "Then Qinghuang, ...... you?"

Qinghuang said lightly: "My parents both died at the hands of the Heavenly Protector. Her words were flat, and her expression didn't fluctuate for half a minute, but the phoenix eyes still involuntarily revealed a strong killing intent.

Ning Bufan's face changed, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort: "One day, there will be a chance to take revenge." ”

Just as the two of them were talking, Liu Bai, who was not far away, suddenly said, "Qinghuang, come over and discuss something with you." ”

Qinghuang nodded and walked over.

Ning Bufan didn't care, and continued to hold his breath and condense, and after a while, suddenly a breath came over, and he opened his eyes vigilantly, but saw that it was a strong man from the City Lord's Mansion.

He didn't know the man well, so he smiled as a gesture of kindness.

"Your name is Ning Bufan, right?" the man asked.

Ning Bufan nodded.

"The champion of the Acropolis Battle, killing the Blood Worshippers and Dharma Protectors in public, is indeed very good. This person looked Ning Bufan up and down, with a smile that he couldn't see clearly.

Ning Bufan smiled and said, "Where? It's just luck." ”

"You can't see it, do you?"

"What?" Ning Bufan was a little surprised.

"Although your talent is good, compared to Senior Brother Liu Bai, it is still much worse. In the future, the city lord will sooner or later be out of the cloud imperial capital, and the position of the city lord of this main city is nine times out of ten that of the senior brother. ”

"That's hello. Ning Bufan was still smiling, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?"

"Hey, you really came from a small place, and you don't know how to read words and looks. This person has a look of hatred: "Let me tell you, Qinghuang is the person that the senior brother has a crush on, they are childhood sweethearts, talented and beautiful, you as an outsider should not get a foot in it." ”

After a pause, he said, "Otherwise, it will not be a good thing for you and your family." ”

Hearing this, Ning Bufan reacted and said lightly: "Qinghuang and I are just friends, don't think about it." ”

"That's good, I'm also kind enough to remind you, since you understand, it's okay. After the strong man finished speaking, he got up and left, and when he left, he didn't forget to glance at Ning Bufan, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

After he left, Ning Bufan couldn't cry or laugh, he had always had a trace of respect for the City Lord's Mansion, especially that Su Qing, who was jealous and hateful, and was a downright person.

But he didn't expect his apprentices to have so many thoughts, which made him a little unhappy.

But I have to go with each other next, Ning Bufan doesn't want to make a mess of being unsightly, besides, although Qinghuang has a good appearance and an excellent figure, it has not yet reached the point where Ning Bufan is fascinated.

After nightfall, the moonlight poured down, this ancient forest quieted down, and from time to time there were bursts of roars of spirit beasts, which made people involuntarily give birth to a look of fear.

In the darkness of the night, a tent was suddenly opened, and a figure flew out of it, and disappeared into the darkness with great speed.
