At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Xiaohao saw that there was a wide pavilion on the right side of the foothills, surrounded by a few willows. A pillar in the middle of the pavilion is engraved: Hidden and the mountains and forests show willow pavilions.

Halfway up the mountain, you can already see several ancient attics. Further up the hill you will find a bizarre altar with strangely shaped skulls hanging from pillars of fire around it.

There were about a hundred or so people here, all dressed in different ways. It looks like a small sect, and although there are no particularly tall buildings, there are many corner towers and houses around it.

"Hello Senior Brother Tang!"

"Hello senior brother!"

"Senior brother is back"

Anyone who passes by will greet this person with the surname Tang. It can be seen that this person's status in this gate mountain is by no means ordinary!

The group arrived at a wide open space, where everyone usually practiced and stood.

"You all disperse, go to the medicine pavilion to get some medicine and report my name!" Tang Wuan said to the people behind him.

"Let's go! Walk! Let's go, go to the liquor store for a sip or two? I'm tired today! ”

"Hurry up, it's rare for a few brothers to go on a mission together, and we have to celebrate today!"

"Brother Jiang, come with me, I'll take you to meet Liu Lao!" Tang Wuan said with a smile.

"I don't know what Brother Tang said about "Liu Lao" is...?" Jiang Xiaohao asked with some confusion.

"He's the one in charge here. Everyone usually calls him Liu Lao, and Ah Liu is his apprentice. Tang Wuan explained.

I don't know who this Liu Lao is? Jiang Xiaohao thought in his heart, it is definitely not easy for this old man to be able to manage so many masters.

"Xiao Yezi, Uncle and this Uncle Tang have something to do, you go elsewhere to play first" Jiang Xiaohao touched Xiao Yezi's head and said with a smile.

"Oh~"

The two of them came to the largest pavilion, which exuded a strange aura that seemed to have a familiar feeling.

As soon as he entered the building, Jiang Xiaohao saw that there were many black skeletons scattered here, these skeletons were strangely shaped, and they exuded a disturbing atmosphere.

"These things should be what you call "demons"! Jiang Xiaohao asked with a frown.

"Yes, these "demons" were basically defeated by us with exorcism karmic fire! Tang Wuan said with some pride.

In fact, when Jiang Xiaohao saw the half-insect monster, he had already guessed that those alien creatures had also shuttled together to this parallel world called Yuan Realm. The skeletons in front of you should also belong to those creatures.

"It's here, let's go in! Something Elder Liu will tell you"

"Hmm!"

It was daytime, but the light was dim. On a cultivation platform, an old man dressed in white. The old man's eyes were closed and his face was wrinkled, and his long beard hung down to his chest. It looks like it smells of immortals.

This is the old Liu in Tang Wu'an's mouth, Ah Liu's master.

"Young man, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"The junior Jiang Xiaohao has seen Liu Lao! The seniors seem to know that I'm coming? Jiang Xiaohao bowed and asked.

"Hahaha, you don't have to pay so much to treat this place as your home." Liu Lao stroked his beard and said with a soft smile.

Liu Lao slowly stood up, touched his beard with one hand and walked towards Jiang Xiaohao and said, "Ah Liu came back and mentioned you to me before, but now it looks a little different!" ”。

"Liu Lao said and laughed"

"I've sensed a strange energy since you went up the mountain, and I think it's coming from you." Liu Lao asked.

Could this Liu Lao be the strength of the Tianyuan Realm!? I can actually feel the planetary energy on Jiang Xiaohao's body!

"Ha, what Liu Lao said is true" Since it was seen, Jiang Xiaohao naturally couldn't hide anything, and Liu Lao didn't continue to ask anything. Jiang Xiaohao then asked: "Can Elder Liu tell the younger generation about the "demon"? ”。

Liu Lao touched his beard and said meaningfully: "Thirty years ago, a mysterious creature suddenly appeared in this Metaverse world. No one knows where they came from, these creatures are violent and hurtful. ”

Liu Lao sighed and continued: "And these monsters will appear from time to time, without any rules. In order to get rid of these monsters, the major sects of the Metaverse World jointly formed the Exorcism Division, which is the Southern Branch of the Exorcism Division. ”

After listening to Liu Lao's narration, Jiang Xiaohao probably understood the reason for the matter.

These monsters, like Jiang Xiaohao, survived that spatial collapse. These monsters travel not only through space, but also through time! The same goes for the half-worm from before.

"So, these monsters could appear at any time!"

"That's right, that's why the Exorcism Division was set up to strangle these monsters at any time!"

"The younger generation just saw Brother Tang, and the exorcism karmic fire they cast seems to have a miraculous effect on these monsters!" Jiang Xiaohao asked.

"Hahaha, not bad! This exorcism karmic fire is what the old man has learned all his life, and he urges it at the cost of burning the essence element, and it has a suppressive effect on these monsters, coupled with the cooperation of phosphorus powder, the power is enough to rival the master of the middle stage of the Tianyuan Realm," Liu Lao said with some pride.

"Tian Yuan Realm! It's so powerful! ”

"Not bad, but burning essence will cost you a long life! Therefore, it will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

Although using this exorcism karmic fire will cost you a long life, there is no doubt that this power is indeed very strong! Jiang Xiaohao was a little moved.

Liu Lao seemed to see Jiang Xiaohao's thoughts and said: "I see that you and I are destined, I will give you this exorcism karmic fire, but you have to worship me as a teacher!" ”

Jiang Xiaohao thought about it, and he could get this powerful exorcism karmic fire by worshipping a teacher, how could it be worth it.

"Disciple Jiang Xiaohao meets the master!" Jiang Xiaohao immediately knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with both hands.

"Hahaha, good, good. From today onwards, you will be my second disciple! Liu Lao finished happily, and then pointed his fingers at Jiang Xiaohao's eyebrows.

"What is this?" Jiang Xiaohao felt a soft energy being injected into his mind. He closed his eyes and followed this energy in his heart, and this energy slowly spread out to reveal four big words: exorcism karmic fire.

"This is what the old man has learned all his life, so I will pass it on to you today, and it is up to you whether you can comprehend it."

After that, the energy rushed towards Jiang Xiaohao's whole body, and then there was a strong burning sensation in the muscles and veins of his body.

Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down Jiang Xiaohao's forehead, looking very painful. Then the energy spread from the veins to the internal organs, and the bursts of burning made him feel extremely painful.

"I have to get stronger!" Jiang Xiaohao only had this one thought in his heart, and the purpose of becoming stronger was to return to the homeland that originally belonged to him. You can only protect it if you get stronger!

About half an hour later

"Ahh!!h Jiang Xiaohao shouted, and a scorching wave of air erupted. At the same time, Jiang Xiaohao also felt that his realm had improved!

"It's done!"

"Not bad! Not bad! Unexpectedly, this exorcism karmic fire dredged the muscles and veins of the whole body, and reached the middle stage of the Earth Monarch Realm! It's really not ordinary! Liu Lao exclaimed.

"The master has won the prize!" Jiang Xiaohao scratched his head and said, "By the way, master, the disciple has one more thing he wants to inquire!" ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it, maybe the teacher can help you. ”

"When he was in Cloud City, the disciple took in a little girl, and his parents and the rest of the caravan were taken captive by a mysterious force. Does the master know what forces are near this Cloud City? ”

"I've been here for almost 20 years, but there is no mysterious force in this cloud city that matches your description."

"What !?"

"There's something strange about this! I have asked you to inquire and stay here for the next two days, and I will inform you as soon as there is any news. It just so happens that Alyuna should be back these two days! Liu Lao touched his beard and said.

"Well, thank you, master! The disciple left first! Jiang Xiaohao thought about it and had to agree.

"Uncle~ Why is it so long" Xiao Yezi squatted outside the door under a tree, and when he saw Jiang Xiaohao coming out, he hurriedly ran over.

"Uncle has done something, will uncle take you to your father and mother in two days?" Jiang Xiaohao squatted down and touched Xiao Yezi's head and said.

"Uh-huh!"
