Waking up from Mu Qing's charming smile, Zhu He let out a slow breath, he knew that in the next time, there would be trouble coming to the door.
True Yang City, located in the central area of the Heavenly Star Domain, is a very famous ancient city, and the most famous thing is that there is a True Yang Yan Cave in that city.
The popularity and popularity of the True Yang Yan Cave, looking at the entire Heavenly Star Domain, only the Black Tu Spirit Spring under the Black Tu Mountain can be compared to it, and its efficacy is better than that of the Black Tu Spirit Spring.
This True Yang Flame Cave itself is an ordinary cave, but it contains the violent True Yang Qi.
It is said that in order to ensure the effect of the True Yang Qi, it is only open once a year, and on weekdays, it is guarded by the four major families and the Heavenly Star Sect.
From Mu City to Zhenyang City, it takes about a few days, in order to reach there in advance, so everyone in the Mu family is going to go today.
This time I went to True Yang City, and the scale of Mu Qing and the others going to the Black Tu Mountain Range was countless times larger.
After all, the trip to the Black Tu Mountain Range was to give young people a chance to hone their training, and none of the forces sent strong people to escort them.
However, this time is different, this martial arts will be related to the ranking of the four major families, and it is the only chance to get the baptism of true yang qi.
Therefore, in this conference, all the major families sent out all the strong people in the clan, and the scale was enough to see no end at a glance.
"Miss Muqing, let me know the specific rules of the conference first!"
Zhu He knew that the martial arts meeting was imminent, and it was not harmful to understand some matters first.
"How many times have you called me Miss Muqing? Just call me Mu Qing!"
Obviously, after Zhu He emphasized this issue many times to no avail.
Mu Qing finally became a little angry, even she opened her heart, but Zhu He was still a little stubborn.
Zhu He had to laugh dryly and prevaricate.
Mu Qing glanced at Zhu He, and then explained.
It's just that what everyone in the Mu family didn't expect was that this time, because of the freak Zhu He as the foreign aid of the Mu family.
If the other three families sent out the younger generation, they had almost no chance of winning, so they had to forcibly change the rules.
Zhenyang City is extremely vast and majestic, and the city walls as high as 100 zhang spread out, directly reaching the place where the line of sight is out of reach.
Inside and outside the city, there are elite guards everywhere.
These guards, all with long breaths and sharp eyes, were obviously well-trained.
When they arrived in the city, everyone in the Mu family was arranged, and Zhu He.
It is also a temporary inn, waiting for the arrival of the Nawu Society.
The much-anticipated martial arts meeting, under the expectations of several major families, came belatedly.
In the most central part of True Yang City, there is a huge and moving gladiatorial arena.
The gladiatorial arena covers an area of nearly thousands of zhang and is majestic and majestic.
A majestic atmosphere rises to the sky, which makes people marvel.
This huge gladiatorial arena, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, is where the martial arts meetings of the four major families are held.
And today, this huge gladiatorial arena has long been overcrowded, and the black oppressive crowd spreads, countless voices converge together, and finally soar into the sky, even if they are hundreds of miles away, those noisy sounds can be faintly heard.
The central arena of the Colosseum was a very peculiar cone-shaped arena, narrow and wide at the bottom, and on top of it, criss-crossed with hundreds of small platforms, which were exceptionally well divided, and the higher they went, the fewer the squares were, and at the highest point, only four platforms remained.
In previous years, no matter how the rules changed, those who could finally stand on the four platforms of the highest peak could compete for the championship and also have the qualification to compete for the true yang qi watering.
However, this session of the martial arts meeting has quietly changed the rules, because of the existence of Zhu He, this kind of group confrontation between peers is obviously unable to compete with it, except for the Mu family, the other three families unanimously decided to set the venue of the competition underground.
Under this majestic gladiatorial arena, there are intricate underground passages, and these passages are intertwined irregularly, and finally at the other end of the passage, there is only one exit.
The revised rules are that those who can finally walk out of this exit will advance to the next round.
The reason for this is that the three major families try their best to avoid letting their clansmen fight Zhu He head-on, and in the tunnel, it is extremely dark, even if the strength is strong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to exert its strength.
If Zhu He fails to come out within the specified time, he will lose the last chance to compete.
Although the four major families will not fight in the real sense, the open and secret battles have never stopped, not to mention that this time the Mu family directly offended the other three families for the sake of Zhu He, which also made the other three families temporarily huddle together, which is bound to let the Mu family go empty-handed.
Of course, there is always a reason for joining forces, and the Xiang family privately promised that the three True Yang Qi watered places, and the two Su Lin families could also get one, which allowed the three families to secretly form an alliance.
In the final analysis, the most fundamental reason is that the Heavenly Star Sect wants to take this opportunity to bring down the Mu family, and they have already said that if the Mu family can't enter the top three of the martial arts, they will let other forces take their place.
At that time, the Mu family will inevitably decline, and they can also take the opportunity to expand their territory, and maybe they will have the opportunity to take down the divine fire on Zhu He's body.
For this sudden change in the rules, the Mu family naturally strongly objected, but helplessly, three of the four major families raised their hands in favor, and his Mu family had no right to modify it, so he had to swallow his anger.
"These bastards have joined forces to make ghosts!"
When Mu Qing learned that the rules of the game had been modified like this, he couldn't help but have anger on his delicate face.
"Wouldn't it be more to me if it was done in the tunnels?"
Zhu He didn't care at all that the rules had changed, he hadn't forgotten that day he was besieged by everyone, this time, if there was a chance, he wouldn't mind letting these three families break his bones.
"Don't be careless, since they unanimously agree, it means that things are not as simple as they seem!"
Mu Bai frowned slightly.
The outside world can't know the situation under this tunnel, and if something happens at that time, it's too late to stop it.
At this moment, a figure flashed at the highest point of the gladiatorial arena, and the loud voice turned into a sound wave, spreading in this True Yang City.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Every year, the four major family martial arts meetings are the grand events of this Heavenly Star Domain. This year is no exception, first of all, thank you to all parties for coming to cheer!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene erupted in bursts of cheers, you must know that at the scene of this martial arts meeting, in addition to the people of the four major families, the Heavenly Star Sect and the large and small forces of the Heavenly Star Domain will come to watch the battle.
After all, the influence of the four major families in the Heavenly Star Domain should not be underestimated.
The person on the high platform is a middle-aged man in a yellow shirt, he does not belong to the four major families, but he is the city lord of True Yang City, and he is the presiding officer, and everyone is also convinced.
And he has been hosting for many years, and he has already been able to open his mouth for these table words.
"You have worked hard all the way here, but first of all, I have to explain that the rules of this martial arts meeting are different from the past, and it is held under this land!"
As soon as he blurted out these words.
Those forces who came to observe were at a loss, not competing in the gladiatorial arena, but under the tunnels, how can people watch?
"Guys, that's it. Although everyone missed some wonderful encounters, there were all kinds of crises underground. Doesn't it make people's blood boil! You must know that in this tunnel, in addition to the pitch black, there are countless powerful demon beasts, and this kind of training can be called a martial arts!"
Seeing that everyone still seemed to have doubts, the man smiled slightly, and explained again: "The tunnels are intricate, no one can predict what lies ahead, and even the patriarchs don't know what kind of danger there is under the road, compared to the decent competition, this kind of training is what the major families need!"
After watching the unchanged group confrontation for many years, everyone was already a little numb, but at this time, they were interested in hearing that this rule was so exciting.
"Of course, under the tunnel, it is not cold-blooded and ruthless, the same family can fight side by side, in this way, it can also increase the cohesion of the family, and the next step is to hand over the stage to the younger generation!"
The man is obviously very eloquent, and the rules have changed so much, under his short explanation, everyone quietly accepted it, and I have to say that this three-inch tongue is admirable.
"Next, all the major families will send contestants, there is no need to say more about the rules, presumably everyone who participated in the competition has already understood, starting from the entrance, within the specified time, and finally successfully walking out from the other end, you can enter the final battle!"
"Fourth Elder, everything is arranged!"
In the direction of the Heavenly Star Sect, a man walked quickly to the purple-clothed middle-aged man, lowered his head and whispered a few words.
"yes, got it!"
The man in purple nodded when he heard the sound, and then looked at Zhu He, but there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Star Sect, Zhu He is not a person from the Heavenly Star Domain, and he is so strong, he is obviously a person with a transcendent force, for the sake of insurance, they did not make a mess openly, if they did it in secret, it would be much easier, and the Heavenly Star Sect had a more careful plan this time.
"Uncle Mu, how many people are you going to send to participate?"
Zhu He turned his head, looked at Mu Bai, who had a somewhat solemn face, and asked.
Mu Bai was thinking about the intention of this sudden change of rules at this time, when he heard Zhu He's question, he immediately replied: "The old man originally wanted to send Mu Yi Mu Qing and Xiaoyou to participate in the group confrontation, but he didn't want to change the rules, so it seems that more people should be sent to take care of each other!"
Regarding Mu Bai's words, even if Mu Yi raised his hands in agreement, in that dangerous tunnel, one more partner is one more security.
"There are too many people, and if there are too many people, I'm afraid that there will be some carelessness!"
Zhu He didn't approve of Mu Bai's idea, first of all, it is certain that the other three major families are secretly making ghosts, if their strength is not good, it will be useless to go, and they will drag everyone back when the time comes.
Listening to Zhu He's analysis, Mu Bai also felt reasonable, of course he knew that there would be some unscrupulous people in the tunnel, but he ignored the safety of the rest, if some people from the Mu family were in danger, they would become a burden, at that time, Zhu He was restrained by it, and this trump card would lose its meaning.
"Then according to Xiaoyou, how many people should be sent?"
For Zhu He, Mu Bai had already admired it, and immediately asked tentatively.
Zhu He's gaze swept over Mu Qing and the others, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "Since there are only three places for True Yang Qi to be watered, then it is just right to send three people!"
On the ring stand, the Heavenly Star Sect is seated.
"Fourth Elder, since we are going to do it in the tunnel, then we don't have to mention the matter of the young sect master in public!"
Although the Celestial Star Sect is powerful, it is also limited to this Celestial Star Domain, and if they provoke some big sects, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to end.
For example, not far from the Heavenly Star Domain, where the transcendent power Tianlei Nange is located, compared to the Heavenly Star Sect, it would be insignificant.
Therefore, although the Heavenly Star Sect wants to get rid of Zhu He, it is best if it can do it in secret.
"Do what you want!"
The man in purple waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
Zhu He's possession of divine fire, coupled with the shocking multi-god community, if it weren't for the people who were focused on cultivating by the transcendent forces, it was really unimaginable, and there were other possibilities.
Therefore, the Heavenly Star Sect was unwilling to take risks, so it had to do it secretly, unaware.
Since it is a contest between the younger generation, then Zhu He's opponent must be Lin Qi's generation, if he brings those people who are not strong in the Mu family, he will have some worries at that time, and it will be difficult for him to show his strength.
Regarding Zhu He's proposal, Mu Bai sighed for a while, and then agreed.
In the end, the Mu family only sent Mu Qing Mu Yi and Zhu He for the first time, Mu Qing Mu Yi was the strongest two of the younger generation of the Mu family, and Zhu He didn't need to say more.
"Everyone, the martial arts meeting begins, please enter!"
Seeing that it was not too early, the city lord of True Yang City immediately looked around and said in a loud voice.
"Go ahead!"
Mu Bai glanced at Zhu He meaningfully, and then said heavily.
There was some please.
"Brother Zhuhe, come on, protect my sister!"
Mu Yu came out of the crowd.
Quickly walked to Zhu He's side.
The man whispered to the latter.
Zhu Hewan smiled.
Immediately reached out and touched the little girl's head.
Although Mu Yu said it very quietly, with Mu Qing's ear, he naturally heard these words clearly, and immediately glanced at Mu Yu and did not speak, but there was a faint crimson on that pretty face.
Remove the Mu family position.
The other three families also sent contestants, and what is surprising is that the people sent by the three major families add up to hundreds of people, and in comparison, the Mu family's side seems quite unusual.
"What is the Mu family doing, only sending three people?"
"Don't underestimate that black-shirted boy, that is the kid who became famous in Heitu Mountain some time ago, and it is said that he has a divine fire!"
Seeing that the Mu family only sent three people, the major forces who watched the scene were all full of surprise.
It's just this kind of surprise, after seeing the black-shirted young man who walked out of the Mu family's direction.
It was surprisingly weakened a lot.
"Are there only three people in your Mu family who dare to participate in this martial arts meeting?"
Lin Qi saw that there were only three people out of the Mu family, especially when he saw Zhu He's calm face, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Three people are enough, if there are more, the quota of True Yang Qi is not enough!"
Regarding Lin Qi's words, Zhu He smiled innocently.
The corners of Lin Qi's eyes trembled slightly, he naturally knew that Zhu He was not easy to mess with, so he immediately stopped talking.
But fortunately, this authentic rule is to deal with Zhu He, and he is much easier.
"Let's go!"
Mu Qing didn't even glance at Lin Qi, walked to Zhu He's side, and said in a low voice.
Then he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the wide tunnel.
At this time, the people of the other three major families also poured into the entrance of the tunnel, and due to the large number of people, the unusually wide entrance became congested for a while.
"Let's not part later!"
Zhu He glanced at the depths of the dark tunnel, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, and immediately said to the two with solemn faces.
Mu Qing naturally has no opinion, she already knows about Zhu He's ability.
And although Mu Yi has some arrogance of his own, he is not stupid, so he can only nod at the moment.
As Zhu He spoke, his body was like a wisp of green smoke, as fast as lightning swept into the spacious tunnel, and the light around him dimmed in an instant, and what appeared in his sight were extremely deep and spacious passages, which seemed to lead to the deepest depths.
The three of them hesitated for a moment, then chose one of them, and quickly shuttled through it, in order to avoid some trouble, naturally the faster the better, but the tunnel was dim, and the speed was unsatisfactory from beginning to end.
Although there were a large number of people, fortunately, there were not a few tunnels similar to this one, and at the beginning, everyone was scattered in all directions.
In this tunnel, everyone except their own family is an opponent and an enemy.
The gladiatorial arena, the location of the Mu family.
"Patriarch, find out clearly, under this tunnel, there are countless shadow leopards, as well as some unknown threats, and those unknown threats are likely to come from the Heavenly Star Sect!"
A man wrapped in a black robe came to Mu Bai's side, and a deep voice reached the latter's ears.
"Shadow Leopard, this is a miscalculation, you should really send Ning'er there!"
When Mu Bai heard this, he frowned slightly and muttered.
The Ning'er that Mu Bai said was naturally that Mu Ning'er, although her cultivation was not too prominent, but in terms of soul power cultivation, she was the most talented person among the younger generation of the Mu family.
"Although Ning'er's soul power cultivation is good, compared with Zhu He's little friend, there is still a gap!"
The old man beside Mu Bai suddenly spoke.
This person was dressed in gray and had a white beard, and he was the three elders of the Mu family.
As soon as these words came out, everyone also turned their attention to the old man.
"Is this true for the Third Elder?"
Mu Ning'er was a little worried about the situation in the tunnel at first, but when she heard the old man say this, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked.
You must know that although her spiritual power cultivation is not too good, the cultivation of this soul power is unmatched by the younger generation of the Mu family, and now that she hears that Zhu He is stronger than herself in soul power, she is naturally suspicious, and even a little shocked.
Mu Bai also looked at the three elders, Zhu He's talent in soul power, he couldn't see it, after all, he didn't take the path of soul power cultivation.
"Don't worry, that kid can surpass the old man in the cultivation of soul power in less than a year!"
The third elder touched his beard and said leisurely.
On that day, he healed Zhu He's wounds.
It was the discovery of the young man's powerful spiritual power.
So.
At this point, he wasn't worried.
"So the old man is relieved, but if the Star Sect is a ghost that day, it will be difficult to do!"
Knowing that Zhu He's soul power cultivation was good, Mu Bai didn't worry about those shadow leopards.
According to the intelligence, the Heavenly Star Sect is secretly obstructing, and this is the problem.
On the other side, in a dimly lit tunnel.
Facing this dark world full of unknowns.
The spiritual power in Zhu He's body had already been running rapidly, his body was gradually tense, and a strong and powerful force was squirming under his skin, and he didn't dare to underestimate it in the slightest in this dangerous tunnel.
After walking like this for a long time, the passage that appeared in front of Zhu He and the three of them finally came to an end, which was a fairly wide stone platform, surrounded by the stone platform.
It's a huge stone door, obviously.
The next path still needs to be chosen.
Looking at these stone gates, Zhu He couldn't help but take a deep breath, this tunnel is as intricate as a labyrinth, and if you choose not carefully, you will be in trouble.
Moreover, Zhu He found that this tunnel was not only criss-crossed, but even had many dark entrances to the underground.
"Leave it to fate!"
Rumble!
Zhu He's eyes gradually became sharp, and he suddenly stepped out, and slammed his fist on one of the stone doors, and in an instant, the power swept out, and the stone door burst open directly.
A punch blasted the stone door, Zhu He took the lead in stepping forward, behind the stone gate, there was an extremely spacious space, and the space was pitch black, giving people a feeling of depression.
Roar!
Suddenly, a breathtaking roar suddenly sounded, and it spread in this dark space.
"There are monsters!"
Zhu He's fists clenched suddenly, his body tensed, like an arrow about to leave the string, ready to shoot at any time.
Shout!
The yin wind gusted, and a pitch-black beast shadow suddenly flashed through somewhere in the space, with bursts of cold and violent aura.
"Be careful, it's the Shadow Panther!"
Mu Qing stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhu He, and said in a condensed voice.
The Shadow Leopard is a demon beast that lives in the dark, with the ability to see things at night, this pitch-black space may be a little difficult for Zhu He and the three of them to adapt to, but for this Shadow Leopard, it is no different from day.
Suddenly, the cold aura dissipated directly, and although the shadow leopard's movements were silent, Zhu He could still sense that this guy was rapidly approaching him.
"It's coming!"
Zhu He took a step sideways under his feet, gently blocking in front of Mu Qing, and the majestic power turned into a lightning-like punch, blasting out a punch towards a certain void.
Thump!
A punch was thrown, accompanied by the sound of an air explosion, and a dull collision sound suddenly sounded.
Obviously, Zhu He's seemingly random punch hit the shadow leopard hiding in the darkness.
"How did you do that?"
Mu Qing heard the shadow leopard's painful roar, and when he admired Zhu He's strength in his heart, he was even more curious about how he accurately hit that guy in this invisible space.
"Soul power!"
When Zhu He heard this, his expression moved slightly, and then an invisible force poured out like a tide.
Feeling the magical power that seemed to come from the fluctuation of the soul, Mu Qing couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, and then he also reacted, as an ancient big family, he obviously still knew something about soul power.
After all, the elder who came to the rescue of Zhu He that day was proficient in this way.
"I didn't expect that in addition to your strength and spiritual power, even your soul power is so powerful!"
After staying with Zhu He for a long time, he can continue to discover his surprise, Mu Qing has a deep understanding of this, and he also sighed at this time.
Zhu He smiled, didn't say anything, and immediately walked deeper.
"This tunnel is too deep!"
Along the way, Zhu He and the others also encountered countless shadow leopards, but fortunately, their spiritual strength was strong, and the strength of Mu Qing and the others was also strong, so they could pass through one level after another without danger.
"There's a voice ahead, go check it out!"
Before going all the way, Zhu He and the three of them may have walked too fast, or maybe those people behind them were still entangled with the shadow leopard, and they hadn't met the people of the three major families for a long time, and when they heard the voices in front of them, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
There was a faint light in front of him, followed by a huge stone door, stepping out of the stone gate, before the three of Zhu He had time to look at the surrounding environment, there was a sneer.
"Boy, it's a surprise that you can still come out alive!"
