For the people in the cultivation world, the secret land often represents the mysterious inheritance and countless treasures, and of course, there are dangers and even disasters everywhere.

In fact, except for a few secret places where innate power was formed spontaneously, in fact, there were more mansions left by some ancient cultivators. Zhongzhou is countless times larger than the East Void Realm, and there are naturally more secret places in it, and there are several secret places that belong to Nantianmen alone.

Xiao Chen had also been to the secret land, and the benefits he had obtained in the secret place were extremely rich, one of which was the quaint sarcophagus that now existed in the depths of his spiritual sea.

The sarcophagus is also known as the Ark.

And the Dao Heaven Artifact, which ranks fourth among the Great Luo Zhou Tian Artifacts, is called the Dark Boat.

Xiao Chen naturally knew the strength of the Dao Heaven Artifact, but the power of the Dark Boat, he had studied it for ten years and had not come up with it, and the only use he could determine was the cultivation of human souls.

At the same time, restraint can also be achieved.

Thirteen years ago, he was destroyed by Qin Mo, the master of the Southern Heavenly Gate, and his body was broken, and only the rest of his divine soul was hidden in the underworld, so he escaped his death.

With the help of the Dark Boat, he had the ability to cross the weak sea millions of miles away and come to this abandoned land to recuperate, waiting to return to the South Heavenly Gate of Zhongzhou in the coming day.

And in the process of shaping the body of the sinking lake for thirteen years, it was the unconsciousness of the Styx that exuded the suppressive power of the wraith, which caused the entire border city to not advance an inch in the past thirteen years.

But if you want to use the Zhou Tian artifact Stygian Boat, the spiritual yuan support required is also huge, and if he wants to use it with his fourfold strength of opening the vein, if it weren't for the artifact having already recognized the master, I'm afraid he would have been completely drained by the Stygian Ark.

......

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, and his heart tightened subconsciously.

There was a homicide in the border city, and the first thing to alarm would naturally be the border city guards, and looking at the neat and solemn furnishings around it, it was obviously the style that the army should have.

The door was pushed open, Shi Yan walked in from the outside, glanced at Xiao Chen who was sitting up, and his brows sank subconsciously.

"Xiao Chen, did you do what happened yesterday?" Shi Yan's face was a little cold, and there was still surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Well, it's me." ”

"Did you really kill Zhao An and his guards?" Shi Yan's voice suddenly raised a few degrees, obviously even if this matter was confirmed, it was difficult for people to believe it.

"Do you know who Zhao An is?" Shi Yan's brows furrowed deeply, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, son of the Lord of Yuncheng. ”

"Then why did you kill him?"

"Because he killed Uncle Xiao......"

"What?"

Shi Yan's complexion changed, and the whole person rushed to Xiao Chen's side almost instantly, grabbing Xiao Chen's arm, "What did you say? Brother Xiao is dead?"

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, and a corpse appeared out of thin air with a wave of his hand, and was gently placed on the bed by Xiao Chen.

Shi Yan's face turned pale!

"You're ......"

"When I went home last night, I was ambushed by Zhao An, and Uncle Xiao was killed before I went back, so I was worried that Uncle Xiao's body would be harmed, so I put it away. ”

Xiao Laohan's corpse was already stiff, his face was pale and angry, and his face was full of unwillingness. At Xiao Laohan's neck, a slight knife cut was clearly visible, obviously his throat was cut off with a knife.

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Laohan's corpse, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, although he didn't have too many feelings for this man, but the care of life in the past few days made him feel a little guilty after all.

Xiao Chen rubbed his eyebrows, turned around and walked outside.

"What are you going to do? You can't leave yet!"

Xiao Chen paused for a moment and pointed in the direction of the border city school, "I'm going to participate in the selection of the border city guards, if you need anything, you can come to me." ”

......

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the border city guards led by Shi Yan stood at the bottom position, and at the top sat a mysterious city lord dressed in black robes, and next to the city lord was a smiling white-clothed scribe Wang Shi.

"That kid really killed Zhao An and his guards in Yuncheng?" A trace of surprise flashed in Wang Shi's eyes, he had seen Xiao Chen in Shi Yan's mouth, and he only felt that his talent was very high. But no matter how high the talent is, how can a young man with a four-fold opening pulse be able to kill Zhao An who has a seven-fold opening pulse?

What's more, his guards are warriors who have opened the vein, and there is a gap like a moat between him and the four veins of the opening vein, and there is no room for other suspicions.

"It should be right, because of yesterday's daytime incident, Zhao An was angry with Xiao Chen, and after finding out about Xiao Chen's residence, he killed Xiao Yuanshan, and it happened that Xiao Chen came back and had a conflict, and was killed by Xiao Chen...... "Shi Yan's face was gloomy, Xiao Yuanshan was his only friend in the border city, but he died in the conflict between Zhao An and Xiao Chen.

Although he longed for Zhao An to die, he also knew that once Zhao An died, with his identity and background, it would inevitably have an irreparable impact on the border city, and might even allow Yuncheng and the border city to develop.

The border city has been decaying for too long, where is the opponent of Yuncheng.

"No matter what the reason, Yuncheng Zhao Long's son died in our border city, I'm afraid we need to give someone an explanation......" The middle-aged man who spoke was standing side by side with Shi Yan, who also had the strength of the first realm of the palace.

"But Zhao An has wantonly created chaos since he entered the border city, and he even killed the people of the border city last night, shouldn't he be punished?" Shi Yan stood up and argued.

"But the city is powerful, we can't afford to offend it......"

Wang Shi raised his hand slightly, and the quarrel below suddenly eased.

"What I'm curious about now is that kid is just opening the pulse fourfold, where did he get the ability to kill Zhao An and his guards, this kind of thing sounds too unbelievable......" Wang Shi nodded and said, "If this young man really has this ability to kill beyond the level, then it can't be said to be the most dazzling genius in the history of our border city, if so, naturally it can't be handed over to Yuncheng." ”

"Zhao Long of the Lucky City ......," one of the border guards reminded.

"There's nothing to worry about this, although our border city is weak now, there are also a lot of big people who have been attracted by that rumor, not only the big sects such as Broken Sword Peak and South Gate sent people to the border city, even if the three princes of the Great Xuan Emperor family are on the way here, even if he Zhao Long is bold, I'm afraid he won't dare to risk the tiger power of these big people. ”

The Border City Lord, who was wrapped in a black robe, frowned and glanced around the hall, "What about that Xiao Chen?"

Shi Yan's face tightened, and he hurriedly said, "He is in the border city school field, participating in the selection competition of the border city guard. ”

"Oh, after the audition, let him come and see me!"

The city lord of the border city got up and was about to leave, but he saw a delicate figure appear at the door of the hall, with a pale face and tears in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall was slightly heavier.

Although Xiao Chen's performance at the soul measurement ceremony was very amazing, most of the people heard legends and did not see it with their own eyes. But the fifteen-year-old girl in front of her is indeed truly transformed under the attention of everyone, and she has to be amazing.

Heavenly Eight Patterns, jumping four times in a month to reach today's five levels of open pulse, becoming the fastest genius in the entire border city and even the entire Great Xuan cultivation.

And the city lord of the border city and the king master also knew that this little girl had also awakened the life tattoo supernatural power. Even if it was the two of them, the supernatural powers of the life tattoo were out of reach.

In their opinion, if nothing else, Xiao Yue'er will inevitably enter the realm of the Dian Palace within three years, and after ten years, she will be able to return to the Yuan, and she will steadily step into the distraction, and even enter the legendary Dao.

Such a character can be considered a real genius, the future of the border city.

Now that Xiao Yue'er's father has been killed, does the border city want to give her an explanation?

Xiao Yue'er stood at the door of the hall with a haggard face, her clear eyes were full of tears, and her delicate figure trembled slightly, like a sunflower swaying in the wind and rain.

"Master, my father...... Really, really dead?"

The hall was silent in public, and no one was willing to answer Xiao Yue'er's question, even if it was Master Wang, who had never disturbed the world, he felt unspeakable for a while.

"Yue'er ......"

The black-clothed city lord walked over, touched Xiao Yue'er's hair dotingly, and couldn't help but sigh, "Yue'er, you still have a master......"

Looking at his talented apprentice, the black-clothed city lord really didn't want to see her sad and haggard, his right hand gently brushed Xiao Yue'er's shoulder, and the little girl fell directly into the arms of the black-clothed city lord.

"Zhao An will kill him, if Zhao Long dares to come to my border city for trouble, I just want to ask, what is the intention of his good son to kill my apprentice's father?"

"If he can't give an explanation, then Border City and Yuncheng will start a fight!"

Wang Shi, who was sitting in the seat, couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, with a helpless expression.

This guy's temper is still as violent as ever......

......

The school grounds in the border city were already crowded with all kinds of people, who had come from all over the world to visit or participate in the selection of the border guards.

The selection of border guards is one of the most influential events in the border city, and it has attracted the attention of countless cultivators for many years.

And this year, the City Lord's Mansion released the news of the Spirit Tower, which naturally attracted more people to covet it.

Cultivation has never been a simple thing, and with the assistance of the Spirit Pagoda, it may be possible to really recover the cultivation that has been stagnant for thirteen years.

Xiao Chen stood in the middle of the school field, looking at the hot selection scene, and there was not much excitement in his heart.

He should be standing in the City Lord's Mansion now to be held accountable by the border city guards, and the reason why he came here forcefully is perhaps the biggest reason why he doesn't want to see Xiao Yue'er sad.

He understands the pain of losing his loved ones, just like when the old man left, the kind of worry and darkness, he still doesn't want to feel the second time.

And Xiao Yue'er lost her father, to a large extent, it was caused by herself, if she didn't impulsively hurt Zhao An on the streets of the border city yesterday, Xiao Yuanshan would not have this kind of calamity.

Xiao Chen raised his head and let the sun scorch his pupils.

Xiao Yue'er, will you hate yourself?
