Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion!

Under the guidance of the guards, Lin Hao came to the side hall.

"Ye Xiang, you're finally back." The gray-robed steward hurried up to meet him.

"Lord Steward, will the usher of the Xuanxin Sect come back?" Ye Xiang couldn't help asking.

"The usher won't come back, you're already half a month late, and you've missed the time of the Xuanxin Sect. If you return after a while, then you will completely lose your qualifications to become a disciple of the Xuanxin Sect. ”

The gray-robed steward looked like he hated him, and finally became a disciple of Xuanxin Sect, but he disappeared for half a month, and missed a great opportunity for no reason.

Hearing this, Ye Xiang's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "After being selected to become a disciple of Xuanxin Sect, will you lose your qualifications?" ”

"Don't you know? Each sect has its own rules, but anyone who is qualified to be selected as a disciple, if there is no accident, must go to the sect within a month to report, and if it exceeds a month, no matter what the reason, he will be expelled from the martial sect and will never be hired. The gray-robed steward said.

Hearing this, Ye Xiang's face became even more ugly.

"Sure you don't know......"

The gray-robed steward sighed helplessly, and then said: "The city lord has ordered, give you two choices, one, give up becoming a disciple of Xuanxin Sect, the city lord recommends you to guard the imperial city, this is also a helpless thing, Xuanxin Sect's road is too far, even if you hurry up, it will take half a year to arrive, you can't catch up." ”

"What about the second option?" Ye Xiang asked.

"Take the ancient road, but there is still a chance to catch up with the Xuanxin Sect in half a month. However, I have to warn you first, this ancient path is full of dangers, and you will even encounter third-order, or even fourth-order fierce beasts inside, since ancient times, I don't know how many famous martial cultivators have gone and never returned, and there are only a handful of people who can pass through the ancient path. ”

The gray-robed steward said: "I'm not afraid to sue you, since the founding of An Yunguo, there is only one person who can walk the ancient road and record it. Of course, there may be others who are not included, but there are definitely no more than five numbers. ”

After hearing these words, Ye Xiang was silent.

"Little Brother Ye, the Imperial City Guards are not bad, it is said that there are exercises in the middle of the mortal rank, with your potential, he will become a martial artist one day, and even a martial artist will have a chance. There is no need to venture to the ancient road, there is no place to return, and it would be a pity to lose your life. Think about it. The gray-robed steward persuaded.

"I decided." Ye Xiang raised his head and said resolutely: "I want to take the ancient road." ”

"Take the ancient road...... Do you really want to take the ancient road? The gray-robed steward asked.

"Hmm!" Ye Xiang nodded in response.

"Alas!" The gray-robed steward sighed helplessly and said, "You wait here for a while, and I'll go and tell the city lord." ”

"I'm tired of the steward."

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of business." The gray-robed steward didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

If he hadn't met Jian Zun, hadn't seen the flying jade jade sword, and hadn't met Xing Han, Ye Xiang might have chosen to join the Imperial City Guards and live a peaceful life.

But after so many encounters, Ye Xiang's horizons have been broadened, and there is a broader land outside Anyun.

The realm of breaking the void and the various anecdotes that Xing Han said made Ye Xiang's heart already restless, so he had to join the Xuanxin Sect, cultivate stronger exercises, and reach a higher realm faster, so that he could go further and see more.

As for the danger on the ancient road, Ye Xiang has already been prepared, and he may die on the road, but if he doesn't give it a try, he will inevitably leave regrets in this life.

Subsequently!

The gray-robed steward stepped out, armed with a piece of soft armor and a sword.

"This is a soft hedgehog armor, which can resist the blow of a warrior, this sword is a ten thousand refining sword, these two things are what the city lord asked me to give to you, and then the fastest horses will be arranged, and there will be enough dry food to send you to the ancient road, as for the future, you can only rely on yourself." The gray-robed steward said.

"The Troublesome Steward will help me express my gratitude to the city lord." Ye Xiang said gratefully, these were exactly what he needed.

"You're welcome, be careful along the way." The gray-robed steward waved his hand.

……

Cluck-cluck......

The horses galloped on the avenue, Ye Xiang turned his head to look at Kunshan City that was gradually disappearing in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, although he had only stayed for two years, but Kunshan City was full of all kinds of memories since he had memories, maybe he would come back in a few years, maybe he would never come back.

After staring deeply, Ye Xiang drove the horses to gallop and walked along the eastern avenue.

Three days later, the ragged Ye Xiang came to the middle of the two mountains, these two mountains were so high that it was difficult to see how high they were, and the mountains were bare and covered with all kinds of limestone.

The horse Ye Xiang rode encountered a small group of first-order fierce beasts on the road, and after killing three of them, the horses were bitten to death by the fierce beasts, and Ye Xiang had to walk here.

"This should be the entrance to the ancient road." Ye Xiang took out a worn-out map and confirmed it again.

This dilapidated map was given by the gray-robed steward, and the only road marked on the map was from Kunshan City to the ancient road, and as for the road inside the ancient road, there was no sign on the map, because no one could come out of the ancient road alive, and even if it did, there was no trace of anything about the ancient road. So much so that everyone only knows that the ancient road is extremely dangerous, and there is basically no return to go here.

After putting away the map, Ye Xiang raised his vigilance and stepped into the canyon.

At first, the canyon was only three zhang wide, but gradually the width became larger and larger, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was full of rocks and dead trees, and there was not even a single weed, and the surroundings were quiet and unusually desolate.

During the walking section, Ye Xiang didn't notice anything unusual, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, he didn't notice that the mountains on both sides were moving strangely to the left and right, like an unknown gate slowly opening......

There are all kinds of gray particles floating in the sky, and the low clouds move and change, sometimes like a hideous and terrible beast, sometimes it becomes something with teeth and claws, among these clouds, from time to time there are things that are red like blood flowing, whenever Ye Xiang looks up at the sky, these blood things flash by, making people feel numb in the scalp.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Ye Xiang turned around and unexpectedly found that the two mountains were gone, and the canyon had also disappeared, and his eyes were full of desolate land.

Roar......

A deafening roar came, and Ye Xiang quickly turned his head.

A horned bear is lying on the ground, two feet long, with a fat body, smooth and shiny black hair on its body, thick limbs like pillars, thick giant palms, able to smash granite lightly, crimson eyes, and bloodthirsty and tyrannical **.

"Horned bears are usually only about a foot long, how can this horned bear be so huge?" Ye Xiang's throat stirred, and he subconsciously pinched the Ten Thousand Refining Sword.

Oh......

The horned bear roared and rushed over, although its body was fat, but its speed was amazingly fast, the distance of five zhang was quickly narrowed, and the thick giant palm slapped towards Ye Xiang's head at a faster speed.

Ye Xiang quickly turned sideways, but the strong wind brought by the giant palm still made his face hurt, and with a loud bang, the earth shook violently, Ye Xiang was so strong that he almost jumped up, and immediately slashed at the neck of the horned bear, with a bang, and some hair fell off, but the skin of the horned bear's neck was only rubbed out of a slight blood mark.

Seeing this, Ye Xiang's face changed, this was not an ordinary first-order horned bear, because the fierce beast he encountered on the road was also a horned bear, and the Ten Thousand Refining Sword had cut off the skin of the horned bear at that time, but now it could only leave a shallow scar.

"Its horns...... It has horned stripes on it, and it is not an ordinary first-order horned bear, but a horned bear leader. Ye Xiang's expression sank.

The leader of the horned bear is more terrifying than the average horned bear, and he is a fierce beast at the peak of the first order.

A sharp sound of breaking the air came, and another slap of the horned bear slapped over, Ye Xiang quickly dodged sideways, but it was still a little slower, and he could only use the Wanlian Sword to block it sideways, and with a bang, the sword broke, and the huge force shook Ye Xiang's palm cracked, and half of the sword fell in response.

Blood flowed down from the crack, which even more irritated the leader of the horned bear, and the behemoth body pounced, and the blood basin bit Ye Xiang's head.

The suffocating smell made Ye Xiang almost faint, and he was about to be bitten, his pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and the First Wisdom Root Secret Realm was activated again, and what Ye Xiang's eyes saw was completely different.

The fur of the horned bear became transparent, and the thickness of the skin could be seen clearly, in addition, there were also the internal organs of the horned bear, as well as the pulse and the thickness of the bones, all the details were displayed in Ye Xiang's eyes, and he suddenly noticed the jaw of the horned bear, where the bones were very thin, only about half a finger wide, connecting the veins of the head.

But the broken sword fell not far away, and Ye Xiang didn't have time to get it, but once he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to kill the horned bear again.

Suddenly, Ye Xiang remembered something, and immediately urged the qi in his body, although he didn't know if he could do it, but he should try, at the moment of danger, his mind was tense to the extreme, and the First Wisdom Root Secret Realm had been opened to the extreme.

Rumble......

There was an inexplicable buzz from his head, and then a strange crack appeared in Ye Xiang's eyebrows, and the second secret realm suddenly opened, the second secret realm of the secret realm of the gods - the secret realm of the Spirit Spring, at the moment of opening, he felt a strange warm current emerge from his head.

Recite......

The broken sword trembled slightly, and finally floated to a height of half a foot, but it was not very stable, and it was shaking up and down.

"Come here!" Ye Xiang's eyes widened.

The broken sword shot out, Ye Xiang slapped it with his palm, and poured his energy into the broken sword, only to hear a penetrating sound, and the broken sword penetrated through the jaw of the leader of the horned bear, directly into its skull.

The leader of the horned bear fell, Ye Xiang saw this, and quickly pounced, rolled around twice before stopping, and after getting up from the ground, he didn't care about the mess of his clothes, and looked at the broken sword under the neck of the leader of the horned bear.

"The broken sword just now flew over by himself......" Ye Xiang muttered.

Just now he felt something open at the center of his eyebrows, and then a warm current appeared, and then the broken sword flew over, after thinking about it, Ye Xiang tried again, his eyes were firmly fixed on the broken sword, and he silently said in his heart: "Come over to me." ”

The broken sword didn't move, Ye Xiang frowned, could it be that he was wrong?

"Come here, it still doesn't work, try again."

"Come on, is it the wrong mantra?"

After trying many times, Ye Xiang still couldn't urge the broken sword, and shook his head helplessly.

Roar...... Roar......

A burst of roars came from the front, and he saw more than forty huge horned bears appear in Ye Xiang's field of vision.

Suddenly, Ye Xiang's face was as white as paper, and he forgot that the horned bears lived in groups.
