Chapter 156: The Red Sky Secret Palace

Duanmu Xingling still looks like he is only fourteen or five years old, with a petite and delicate figure, plump peaks, a slender willow waist, delicate facial features, a pair of round and beautiful eyes, and fine eyelashes that are long and curled, as if he will only stay at the age of a girl forever.

Her hands were behind her back, her crystal red lips hooked slightly, revealing a charming look, and said, "It's only been a month, how can I feel a cold aura on you?"

The Duanjupiter Spirit was originally an ice physique, and it was very sensitive to the cold and ice qi.

Although Zhang Ruochen had refined the Ice Vein Pill, he had not yet completely integrated the Ice Qi into the True Qi, so he would be detected by the Duanjupiter Spirit.

Zhang Ruochen didn't answer her, but stared at her carefully, and said, "Senior Sister Duanmu, during the time you left the Wushi Academy, your cultivation seems to have improved again. ”

"You're very observant!"

Duanmu Xingling's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "My cultivation of the 'Eight Desolations' has broken through the third layer and reached another mysterious realm, with my current strength, even if I am not as good as Sister Chen in terms of speed, my combat power will never lose to her." ”

Suddenly, Duanmu Xingling's eyelids lifted, stared at Zhang Ruochen, and teased: "I heard that you recently went to Qianshui County, broke your sword to defeat the Tianjiao of various countries, won the first place in the Sword Conference, and were engaged to the most beautiful Yanchen County Lord of Qianshui County?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, did not hide it from her, and told the cause and effect of the whole incident.

After listening to Zhang Ruochen's speech, Duanmu Xingling nodded lightly and said, "So that's the case, then you have no choice but to do it." As long as you become a disciple of the inner palace of the Martial City Academy, even the King of Qianshui County will not dare to kill you easily. Besides, Sister Chen can be regarded as a peerless beauty, if you can marry her, you will not lose at all. ”

"Now that the students of the entire Wushi Academy Palace know about this, many people are very envious of you, of course, there are many people who are jealous, and there are even people who are ready to kill you. ”

Zhang Ruochen looked fearless and said, "Who wants to kill me?"

"Xun returns to the sea. ”

Duanmu Xing said with a smile: "Xun Guihai has already said that if you dare to participate in the intermediate ruins exploration exam, he will definitely take your life." Xun Guihai had already prepared a gift and went to Qianshui County to propose marriage, but you gave him the first step, you don't know, he is about to be mad!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Xun Guihai hates me, as I expected. After all, Senior Sister Huang originally pulled me as a shield, and with my situation at the time, I had to help her block the arrows. ”

Duanmu Xingling's face became serious, and he said: "Xun Guihai is the fourteenth character of the "Xuan Bang", and his strength is even stronger than you imagined, you must not take it lightly. ”

"It is said that he once killed a helmsman in the middle of the Moon Worship Demon Sect's Extreme Realm, and it was that battle that made him famous and became a man of the year in the outer palace of the Martial City Academy. With his strength, if he wants to kill you, he only needs one move. ”

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. There's no way I'm not going to take the Intermediate Ruins Exploration Exam because of his words. Zhang Ruochen said.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ruochen said again: "Senior Sister Duanmu, you have been preparing for the Intermediate Ruins Exploration Exam for a long time, and you should know a lot about Intermediate Ruins, can you tell me what you need to prepare in advance before entering the Intermediate Ruins?"

Duanmu Xingling's eyes blinked, and he moved closer to Zhang Ruochen slightly, and said, "Sister Chen didn't tell you?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Senior Sister Huang and I are only engaged in name, but in fact, my relationship with her is not as close as outsiders imagined. At least in my opinion, my relationship with Senior Sister Duanmu is closer. ”

Obviously, Zhang Ruochen's words just now were quite useful, and after Duanmu Xingling heard it, the smile on his face became brighter, and he said: "Even if you are still good at talking, I thought you had a fiancΓ©e, so you forgot about my senior sister." So I'll start with you. First of all, you have to know the origin of those ruins. ”

"The Kunlun realm has a history of hundreds of millions of years, from the very beginning of the desolate ancient, followed by the primeval, ancient, middle, and ancient times. In the eternal river of time, countless heroes have been born, the darkest and bloodiest wars have occurred, and there have also been prosperous times when all saints have emerged. ”

"In the history of the Kunlun realm, I don't know how many demi-saints and saints have been born, but now, they have all passed away, leaving only some relics and former residences. ”

"The intelligence agency of Wushi Qianzhuang is all over the Kunlun realm, and all the relics of the half-saints and saints in history are recorded on the "Holy Miracle Codex". ”

"According to the danger of those ruins, and the chance of appearing treasures, the ruins are divided into multiple levels. ”

"Actually, the cultivation of the disciples of the outer palace, even if they only go to the primary ruins to practice, they may encounter danger to their lives. Therefore, the Wushi Academy Palace only allowed the top ten Outer Palace students of the Four Academies to participate in the Intermediate Ruins Exploration Exam. You have to listen clearly, it's just an exploration exam, not an experience. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "What is the difference between exploration and experience?"

Duanmu Xingling smiled: "Exploration means that we only need to enter the intermediate ruins to have a look and look for precious treasures. If you can't beat it, you can escape. However, if it is experienced, it will be necessary to complete the tasks assigned by the Academy, and the degree of danger will be even greater. Generally speaking, only the masters of the inner palace disciples will take the initiative to go to the intermediate ruins to practice. ”

Duanmu Xingling said again: "Within the scope of the entire thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, there are only two intermediate ruins in total. One of them is in the depths of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, called the 'Red Sky Secret Mansion'. It is said that the Red Sky Secret Mansion is located deep underground, and it is the holy mansion where the four-winged earth dragon of the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Mountains once lived. ”

"The cultivation of the four-winged earth dragon is comparable to that of a saint among the warriors of the human race. When it was alive, it was rampant, dominating a territory of 100,000 miles, devouring the humans of a city of the human race every time it ate. ”

"Even the current high-ranking county country, Qianshui County, had to pay tribute to the four-winged earth dragon every year at that time, sending spirit crystals, silver coins, pills, and blood food. Every year, the Qianshui County sends millions of Terran slaves to the Heavenly Demon Ridge as food for the four-winged earth dragon. If it is not sent, then there will be more humans who die in the country of Qianshui. ”

"Five hundred years ago, the arrogant four-winged earth dragon finally angered Empress Chi Yao, who had just ascended the throne at that time. Empress Chi Yao gave an order and dispatched the army of the First Central Empire to encircle and suppress the Heavenly Demon Ridge and kill the four-winged earth dragon. ”

"In order to kill the four-winged earth dragon and those powerful brute beasts in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, the First Central Empire had an earth-shattering battle in the Red Sky Secret Mansion. ”

"In that battle, a total of two demi-saints of the human race fell, but they killed seven demi-saint-level brute beasts, and even the four-winged earth dragon died in the Red Sky Secret Mansion. After all the brute beasts above the half-saint level died, the former murderous place of death became a lot more peaceful. ”

"Later, the Wushi Academy Palace was stationed in the Heavenly Demon Ridge to help the First Central Empire and suppress the remaining brute beasts in the Heavenly Demon Ridge. At the same time, some Terran cities that were originally just on the edge of the Heavenly Demon Ridge continued to devour the inhabited territory of the brute beasts, and in the course of hundreds of years of development, they formed a country. Your ancestor, the founding lord of the Yunwu Monarchy, rose to prominence at that time. The Yunwu County Kingdom was also established at that time. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "That is to say, the current territory of the thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, five hundred years ago, was all a barren mountain range, ruled by the four-winged earth dragon and brute beasts. After 500 years of human development, the human race has developed from a few scattered cities and villages at the beginning to 36 counties on the periphery of the Heavenly Demon Mountains. ”

Duanmu Xingling nodded and said with a smile: "Now the territory of the thirty-six counties combined, it is only one-fifth of the territory of the Heavenly Demon Ridge. However, with the strength of the human race, in a few hundred years, it will definitely completely swallow the brute beast territory of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, and at that time, there may be seventy-two counties, one hundred and eight counties, or it may be completely unified and become a high-class county as powerful as the Qianshui County. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "In addition to the Red Sky Secret Mansion, what about the other mid-level ruins?"

Duanjupiter Spirit said: "Another intermediate relic is in the Tong Styx River, located at the bottom of the river. It is said that the four-winged earth dragon established a dragon palace at the bottom of the Tong Styx River, and because the four-winged earth dragon arranged a large array on the periphery of the dragon palace, only martial artists below the Heavenly Extreme Realm could enter the dragon palace. If you want to forcibly break the formation from the periphery, you will destroy the Dragon Palace. ”

"For hundreds of years, many warriors have gone in to explore, but only two or three of the ten people who have gone in have come out. The danger level of the underwater Dragon Palace is still above the Red Sky Secret Mansion. ”
