Long Ye followed Qing'er along the mountain path, slowly walking towards the sword pool, the higher the content of spiritual power around him, and there was even a kind of warmth in his mother's arms.

Taking a deep breath of the air full of spiritual power and mist, Tatsuno showed a shallow smile on his face.

This place, nice!

Walking up to the top of the mountain, a grove of trees obscured the view.

Walking out of the bushes, Tatsuno saw the whole picture of the sword pond clearly.

The entire sword pond, located in the center of the mountaintop, is a huge lake that has sunken down, and in the center of the lake, several silver swords are scattered on the small island that is only one meter high on the surface.

Around the lake, some small grasses with pale green leaves and pale blue leaf tips were planted, which exuded a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, apparently to calm the noisy state of mind of the cultivators and make their cultivation smoother.

On the lake, there are a hundred pavilions floating, each of which can only be used by one person to cultivate.

Qing'er next to her explained in a timely manner: "This is the place where we ordinary disciples can come, and the pavilions below are places for people to cultivate. However, if you want to cultivate there, you have to pay a certain price, and you have to pay two Tribulation Stage level spirit cores for one position, one of which is for the Haoran Sect and one for the Heaven Devouring Sect. ”

"What?

Long Ye's face was strange, isn't Chen Yuan the sect master of the Heaven Swallowing Sect, I didn't expect that this place where the Haoran Sect cultivated, would actually have to pay taxes to the Heaven Swallowing Sect, which shows that the Heaven Swallowing Sect is much stronger than the Haoran Sect.

Qing'er thought that Long Ye was puzzled, and hurriedly explained: "There is a spirit beast under this lake, which endangered the Quartet back then, and our Haoran Sect gathered a lot of strength and did not subdue it, and then it was the Heaven Swallowing Sect that made a move, which succeeded in suppressing it, and later it became a holy place for cultivation, and the Haoran Sect dedicated half of the fee to the Heaven Swallowing Sect in order to express its gratitude." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Tatsuno nodded knowingly, and then walked down.

"Let's go, let's go and cultivate. ”

"But Childe, I don't have the spirit core of the Tribulation Period!" Qing'er said hurriedly in the rear.

Tatsuno waved his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

"Alas. ”

With a sigh, Qing'er directly followed Tatsuno's pace, and what happened next was left to fate!

At the entrance of the Sword Pool, Lin Mang, a disciple of the Haoran Sect, was guarding the gate.

Today, it was his turn to guard the sword pool, and by the way, he would collect the spirit cores of the cultivators who entered the sword pool, but when he collected the normal fee, he would also extort a sum of money from those people and ask them to hand over a little protection fee.

For example, now a plainly dressed disciple has been stopped.

"Hey, why are you kid so poor, you can't even take a spirit core from the Tribulation Realm?" Lin Mang pulled his mouth crookedly, looked at the person in front of him with disdain, and mocked: "You still want to enter the sword pool to cultivate like you're so poor?"

"Hahaha. ”

The crowd around Lin Mang immediately echoed and laughed.

The disciple of the Haoran Sect who was ridiculed was so angry that his face turned blue, his lips trembled, and he forcibly held back a sentence from his mouth: "Don't deceive people too much!"

"Hahaha, it's too much deception, are you making a joke?" the others laughed as if they had heard a joke.

"Brother Lin Mang is a genius of the sect, and now he is a master of asking the heavens, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to draw with him*** If you don't pay for protection, get out of me, don't delay Brother Lin Mang's time. ”

A scrawny teenager scoffed.

"You ......"

"Get the. ”

Before the disciple could speak, Lin Mang roared at him, and then glanced at the two people beside him, and the two people understood it, and walked out with the disciple on their hands.

"Lin Mang, if you don't let me cultivate, then return the spirit core I have saved so hard! Otherwise, ...... Ahh

In the distance, the disciple's mournful voice came.

"Hmph, I don't think I can do anything, and I dare to fight with you Brother Lin Mang. The scrawny boy sneered.

"Hehe, if you don't have money and ability, don't be a big-tailed wolf in front of me. Staring at the disciple screaming in the distance, Lin Mang showed a cruel smile.

"Huh, you're also going to enter the sword pool to cultivate?"

Lin Mang shifted his gaze to the front, looked coldly at a man and a woman walking towards him, and said arrogantly, "Two Tribulation Spirit Cores have a position, and the other one has a Tribulation Spirit Core as a protection fee, you must know that this sword pool is not very stable, without my protection, you don't know how you died." ”

"Hehe, here are two fat sheep. ”

Looking at Long Ye and the two of them, Lin Mang felt that these two people were new to the sword pool, and such a person was the easiest to pay protection fees, and as long as he made up some dangers in the sword pool, he could even charge a little more protection money.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and Lin Mang seemed to see the spirit core beckoning to him.

"No, I don't need you to protect me. ”

Long Ye glanced at Lin Mang lightly, and sneered, he asked Tian Yae in a dignified manner, does he still need to ask Tian Sane to keep him safe?

"Boy, I advise you to pay the protection fee, the sword pool is not as simple as you think!" Lin Mang's eyebrows were cold, and he said with a sinister look.

"Hehe, no need, Qing'er, let's go. With a cold smile, Tatsuno wanted to take Qing'er into the sword pool.

"Stop them for me!"

With a roar, Lin Mang's subordinates instantly picked up the guys and stopped Long Ye and them.

Lin Mang walked towards Long Ye with a gloomy face, and casually waved his fist at the tree in the distance, the strong fist wind with endless destructive power to destroy the tree into powder, looking full of might.

"If you don't want to pay protection money, you just pass? Sneering and walking towards Long Ye, Lin Mang said, "Today, I will teach you the rules of the Haoran Sect." ”

In front of him, the genius of Haoran Sect was angry, Qing'er was so frightened that her body trembled, this Lin Mang's strength was a triple question, and he was much stronger than the previous elders and spirit beasts, although Long Ye was also very strong, but he might not be able to beat Lin Mang.

For now, it's better to be soft and calm down.

Qing'er tugged at Long Ye's sleeve and shook her head, telling him not to continue to provoke Lin Mang.

"Hehe, look at the female companion next to you, she knows what's going to happen, are you still obsessed?"

Lin Mang looked at Qing'er's pale face and smiled weirdly, "Do you want to slap your swollen face and become fat in front of your female companions, right?" Hehe, there are really more and more wastes in the sect, and you don't have the ability to force the limelight." ”

......

When there was a turmoil in Jianchi, attracting many onlookers, not far away, a group of people suddenly appeared, and the service of this group was different from that of Haoran Sect, especially the woman who was the leader, and it was extremely cold.

I saw an elder of the Haoran Sect looking at the oncoming person with a flattering smile on his face: "Inspector Zhao, are you finally here?"

As a sect that wants to make offerings to the Heaven Swallowing Sect, every once in a while, there will be inspectors to supervise the spirit cores collected by the sword pool.

Zhao Ruoxue, who was dressed in black and had a cold face, glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, take me to the area around the Sword Pond to have a look." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The elder of the Haoran Sect nodded hurriedly, gave a casual order, and led the way.

Behind, the two Haoran Sect disciples looked at the two people marching in front of them, and exchanged heads and ears.

"Hey, look at this Zhao Patrol's figure, tsk, it's already very attractive, this is dressed in black, it's even more you, but her face is minus, if only it weren't so cold. One of the disciples sighed in a low voice.

"I'll rub it, don't pull me along if you want to die!" said the disciple on the side.

"Do you know the identity of this Inspector Zhao! She is not as capable of teasing at will as other inspectors, if she hears it, beware of our lives!"

"What, is she special?" the disciple asked, confused.

"It's not just special, you know the Heaven Swallowing Sect, she is an inspector sent by the Heaven Swallowing Sect, and I have heard that she enjoys the status of an elder in the Heaven Swallowing Sect. ”

"So, her status is equivalent to that of us elders?"

"That's not it. ”

Just as these two disciples were talking to each other, Zhao Ruoxue and Elder Zhou of the Haoran Sect had already inspected most of the sword pool.

And listened to Elder Zhou's report, as well as the spirit core that the sword pool had received these days.

"Very good, the spirit core has been earning more recently, and you are doing well. Zhao Ruoxue praised lightly.

"Where, where. Elder Zhou politely replied, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, a noise suddenly sounded in the sword pool, and Zhao Ruoxue's mood that had just been happy because of the income from the spirit core instantly deteriorated, she frowned and looked ahead; Hmm, what's going on up ahead, why is it so messy?"

When Elder Zhou saw this scene, he panicked, and hurriedly led someone to scold.

And at this time, Lin Mang saw Elder Zhou's arrival, and immediately became even more proud, the reason why he dared to blatantly collect protection money here was that he had Elder Zhou's top support, and now that the top has arrived, he has more confidence.

But who is the woman following Elder Zhou?

"Lin Mang, what's going on here?"

Elder Zhou stepped forward and glanced at Long Ye to know what was going on here, but the fact that he secretly supported Lin Mang's collection of protection money could not be exposed, so he asked pretendedly.

"Report to Elder Zhou, these two people don't hand over the spirit core, and they want to break into the sword pool, but they are stopped by me, and they want to be rough with me. Lin Mang also understood what he had to say, so he beat him up and distorted the true face of this matter.

"And this kind of thing!"

Elder Zhou roared angrily: "It's a felony to break into the sword pool, arrest these two thieves for me and throw them into the dungeon, I will personally interrogate them later!"

"Yes!"

Lin Mang and the others echoed, looking at Long Ye and Qing'er unkindly, with the support of Elder Zhou, everything they did was justice and truth, and the two unknown disciples were not worth mentioning.

"Hmph, now it's up to you kid to do something, you just wanted to play tricks on me, I'll let you live better than die later, kneel down and kiss the soles of my shoes, and call me grandpa!"

Behind her, Zhao Ruoxue slowly walked to Elder Zhou's side, just now she also heard what Lin Mang had reported, these two thieves who wanted to trespass on the sword pool without paying the spirit core should indeed be punished.

However, the man gave her such a familiar feeling, where had she seen him?

"Give it to me, catch these two thieves, don't let them run!"

After giving an order to the people around him, Lin Mang wanted to step forward to capture Long Ye, but as soon as his feet were raised, a cold and unquestionable voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait!"
