Chapter 40: The Towering Ancient Tree

In the Penglai side hall, in the spiritual hall of the Qingyi Taoist, many disciples gathered around a woman in a blue dress who fell to the ground, without saying a word, looking nervous and sad.

Xuan Man squatted down, wanting to close the eyes of this willful and cute little junior sister on weekdays, her unblinding appearance was too terrifying, and he didn't want to see her so painful. But Xuan Heng grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "It's better not to touch her who was killed by the ghosts of the Huangquan Realm." ”

Xuan Man was stunned for a moment, although he felt a little indifferent like this, but he still withdrew his hand. The senior brother is right, in extraordinary times, it is better not to risk yourself.

"Uncle Tao is here. At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, and the disciples got out of the way, and the peach in plain clothes slowly walked into the mourning hall.

"Uncle Shi, the deceased is Leng Die, who has been dead for fifteen hours when he was found, and he should have died last night. Xuan Heng knelt on one knee and reported the situation to Tao Yan. Now Penglaili's highest cultivation is Uncle Taoyan, Uncle Duobao, Uncle Gongmang, Uncle Yaoheng and so on, and other uncles are all specialized in a certain aspect, and they are not as good as Uncle Taoyan in stabilizing people's hearts and controlling the overall situation. Therefore, although the Soul Keeper ordered Quan Penglai to temporarily obey Uncle Gong Mang, he still believed in obeying Uncle Tao Mang.

"Fifteen hours?" Tao Yan narrowed his gorgeous peach blossom eyes and said coldly, "Hasn't anyone entered the head of the mourning hall for fifteen hours?"

All the disciples present knelt down one after another, their faces in cold sweat. Xuan Man was secretly frightened, Uncle Tao Yan is the most lazy and relaxed on weekdays, why is his tone so sharp today......?

Born superior!

Xuan Man commented in his heart, and quickly replied to Tao Yan's question: "Since Leng Die came to guard the spirit, Senior Sister White Lotus has also entered the mourning hall. The Soul Guardian Elder said that Senior Sister White Lotus would send the head of the sect on the last journey, and ordered us not to disturb. So we didn't go in until today, when we noticed that something was wrong, and we had the courage to go in. But who knows, as soon as I came in, I saw this scene......"

Tao Yan's thin lips were pursed tightly, his sword eyebrows were even more wrinkled, and although his voice was not loud, it was full of anger: "It's that old guy again!

Xuan Heng Xuan Man and the other disciples wisely remained silent, kneeling on the ground and waiting for Tao Yan to give orders.

In fact, Xuan Heng and Xuan Man also knew a little about the contradiction between the Soul Guardian Elder and Uncle Tao Yan. The Soul Guard Elder pays attention to the bloodline, and hates the evil demons the most, so Uncle Tao's origin and identity have always been criticized by him. Even though Uncle Tao Yan has made great contributions to Penglai over the years, the Soul Guard Elder has always been unpretentious to Uncle Tao Yan. And Uncle Tao is uninhibited by nature, and he doesn't like to be restrained the most, and the old-fashioned eccentricity of the Soul Guard Elder often makes him angry from his heart but can't get started. After all, the Soul Keeper Elder is the most senior person in Penglai, and even if the head of the sect sees the Soul Keeper Elder, he has to be courteous.

Now that the head of the family is dead, the Soul Guard Elder blames the cause of death on the evil demon, and by the way, he angers Uncle Peach, who has the blood of the demon race. Uncle Tao was not a docile person, and after a quarrel, the two broke up unhappily. Now Penglai has repeatedly had disciples killed, and the relationship between the two has dropped to a freezing point because of this.

"The order goes down, all Penglai disciples are under martial law, and those who go out at night must go with three people. All the inner disciples, enter the Demon Refining Tower!" After the anger was over, Tao Yan finally spoke. He ordered the inner disciples to be summoned into the Demon Refining Tower, which was actually to protect Penglai's elite troops.

The Demon Refining Tower, as the name suggests, is a demon tower built by Penglai for tens of thousands of years. There are 99,999 forbidden and magic circles in the tower, imprisoning the strength of the demon beasts inside, so that they have no chance to escape at all, but at the same time, they will not be unable to move and be terminally ill.

Some inner disciples caught qualified high-level demon beasts, and they would put these demon beasts into the demon refining tower, and over time, the demon refining tower gradually filled with hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, large and small. Some disciples with superior performance can get the opportunity to go to the Demon Refining Tower to practice. said that it was an experience, but in fact, it was to go in and fight monsters, and the gangsters had experience, and they would not be hurt at all.

Who made the Demon Refining Tower built by them Penglai?

However, all the forbidden circles outside the Demon Refining Tower would cause some demons and monsters to resist and weaken their strength. Therefore, the best way to send the inner disciples to the Demon Refining Tower is now.

Tao Yan only said that he was an inner disciple, not partial. There are already 100,000 demon beasts in the Demon Refining Tower, where can a large number of human beings be able to hold it? Therefore, he can only take the most elite disciples to keep them, and the outer disciples, miscellaneous disciples, can only look at their creation......

"Yes!" Xuan Heng Xuan Man glanced at each other, knowing that Tao Yan had made up his mind, so they also said firmly.

"What about Ao Ziyu?" After everything was ordered, Tao Yan found that Ao Ziyu, who had been following him and asking for directions, was unusually absent today, which made him guess slightly.

"I don't know. "Disciples, look at me, I'll look at you, no one knows where Ao Ziyu went?

"......" Tao Yan groaned slightly, shook his hand out of the mourning hall, and flew to the west.

Xuanheng Xuanman stood up at this time, glanced at each other, and then announced in unison: "Penglai Inner Sect disciple, enter the Demon Refining Tower today!"

In the mountain behind Penglai, a swarthy triangular-headed python slowly walked around the branches, followed by a red-tailed red fox. The fox was covered in a mess of hair and mud, and she had a strange brass ring on her front left paw that depicted four giant beasts. But because of her red fur, those giant beasts can't be seen clearly.

The python stopped in front of a towering ancient tree, and the red fox looked up and was shocked: What a big tree!

The trees placed in front of the giant python and the red fox are about 3,000 zhang high, reaching into the sky, the trunk is about 50 zhang thick, and the crown of the tree blocks the sunlight within a radius of 500 meters. Under the canopy, there are only a few young grasses that do not grow tall and small flowers of various colors.

The tree looked extremely ancient, and the red fox looked at it with an inexplicable impulse to return to his ancestors. However, this was not the most surprising to the red fox, what surprised her the most was a woman in white with a single eyelid standing on a side branch. The woman, without saying a word, stood on a side branch with one foot and stared coldly at her and the python.
