Tongtian Peak, on the Hall of Seven Stars, Tianyun Zhenren stood on the high platform, scanning the people standing in the hall. Below him were a total of eighteen young disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. They had gathered in this Hall of Seven Stars today to make final preparations for their journey to Blackwater City.

Tianyun Zhenren glanced over one by one, and his gaze paused a few more times on several of them, these people were his closed disciple Xue Yi, Mo Ning of Shui Ling Peak, Qin Feng of Zixia Peak, Ye Shi'er, and Ye Xiaotian standing on the far right. And his gaze, especially on Ye Xiaotian, stayed the longest.

After a while, Tianyun Zhencai said aloud: "You have come from your own lineage, you should know from your own sect, what is the reason for this time, right?"

"Disciple knows!" everyone said in unison.

"Hmm!" Tianyun nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "I came here this time, I want to tell you something, and in addition, there are a few things to entrust to you!"

"What I asked you to go to this time is the mysterious and ancient southern Xinjiang city, Heishui City! This ancient city has expanded rapidly in the past thousand years, and the forces in the city are also the most intricate. In this ancient city, there is the Immortal Martial City built by our immortal cultivation faction, and there is the Black Hades City built by the Demon Sect. The two major forces of immortals and demons, together with the four major families of Blackwater City, occupy this ancient city. In addition to these three major forces, the rest are the forces of some scattered cultivators and some small families, which are not to be feared. ”

"Didn't you say that the two sides of the immortals and demons were incompatible, how could they still defend a big city at the same time?" Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian was extremely surprised in his heart, but he didn't dare to casually ask the doubts in his heart. Like him, most of the people in the Seven Star Hall also had the same doubts, most of them were still in the top eighteen for the first time, and they had the opportunity to go to Blackwater City, this time listening to Tianyun, they were naturally surprised. However, Ye Xiaotian noticed that Xue Yi and Qin Feng did not have any different colors on their faces, as if they had expected it a long time ago.

Xu knew that there would be doubts among them, Tianyun sighed and continued: "It is true that we are inseparable from the Demon Sect and the Demon Sect and the demons, but in Blackwater City, we are not easy to provoke a war, in that way, the four major families of Blackwater City will intervene and affect the trend of the battle, so although we are ashamed to be in the company of the Demon Sect and demons, in Blackwater City, we have to put away that righteous heart." That's why we're going to occupy Blackwater City with the Demon Cult Demons!"

"As for why our Heavenly Sword Sect has a branch in Blackwater City, I think you also know the reason from your respective divisions, so I won't say much about it here. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but think of what Senior Brother Qin Yun had told him. Why does the Heavenly Sword Sect have a branch in Blackwater City?

On the periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountain, there is a deep valley called the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land, which is full of black gas all year round, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it at all, and even some cultivators are powerless to enter an inch.

Of course, this is just an ordinary time, the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land will open itself once every two hundred years, and the time will last for a month. A month later, the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land would close on its own, and at this time, the black qi that covered the entire valley would condense, and finally condense into two Void Demon Shadows. The two demon shadows each held a huge magic sword formed by the condensation of black qi and attacked each other fiercely.

In the battle, they use a variety of swordsmanship, body techniques, or magic tricks, just to destroy each other. However, they were originally condensed by black qi, and no matter how they fought, they couldn't kill each other. And they fought all night. They didn't come up with a result, but those who watched them fight were very rewarding.

Among them, those with slightly lower qualifications have comprehended the body technique and sword technique, and those with higher qualifications have comprehended the true recipe and technique, and even the sword intent and exercises. And if the qualification is extremely low, it can also absorb the rich aura from the energy field formed after the battle between the two demon shadows, so as to cultivate to a great progress. Hardly anyone will have nothing to gain in this dance of heavenly demons that is just one night. This is what Qin Yun told Ye Xiaotian. Yunshan's personal experience in Blackwater City two hundred years ago.

It can be said that there are two things in the valley near Blackwater City that have a great temptation for them cultivators. One is the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land, which is open for a month, and the second is the Dance of Heavenly Demons, which is only one night. And the temptation of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land to everyone is far inferior to the Dance of the Heavenly Demon.

Originally, a place like the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land, where it was possible to obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, should be more tempting to cultivators, and like this ancient forbidden land, there were countless monuments and treasures in it, and even included some adventures. However, after thousands of years, the forbidden land has been opened five times, and there are many cultivators who have entered it, but very few have gained. And these gains are almost negligible compared to the gains obtained in the Dance of Heavenly Demons. What's even more tragic is that the number of cultivators who enter the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land every time reaches almost 10,000, but there are less than 100 people who are lucky enough to come out, and most of them are trapped in the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land forever.

Since then, the temptation of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land has been far less than that of the Heavenly Demon Dance. There were even some cultivators who gave up entering the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land, just to comprehend the true skill of the sword intent that existed in the Dance of Heavenly Demons in a better state.

However, the visual range of the Heavenly Demon Dance was limited after all, and outside the range of a hundred steps, there was no strong energy influence, and there were too many cultivators who wanted to watch the Heavenly Demon Dance.

Thus, there was a dispute. This dispute was soon taken over by the three major forces, and the scattered cultivation organization and the small family could not intervene at all. However, they did not exterminate these small forces, and under the proposition of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, they deliberately left a place for them, and as for their internal distribution, it was not up to them to consider.

Like the scattered forces, there is also a distribution problem among the three major forces. After many intense "discussions" on how to distribute them, the number of people was finally preliminarily formulated.

The three forces each sent a hundred people, each carrying a jade slip with the word "Heavenly Demon" into the forbidden land, the three parties can attack and kill each other, you can use any means, as long as you get the other party's jade slip, during this period, life and death, you can only blame yourself for not cultivating enough.

And a month later, the number of jade slips from the three parties was used to decide the territory of the Heavenly Demon Dance. If you get more jade slips, you can get more positions, and vice versa.

Since the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land has been destroyed by the first few scuffles, it has even been destroyed, and there is even a possibility of collapse. As a result, there is a limit to the strength of the candidates who enter, and each side can only send junior disciples and elders of the sect, but they are not allowed to enter the forbidden land, which also includes the scattered cultivation organization and those small families.

Therefore, in order to allow their sect to obtain more resources, each party made comprehensive preparations before the opening of the forbidden land, and poured out the elites in the sect. Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect will set up nine small worlds on the Eight Veins Martial Arts, just to let the disciples in the sect adapt to this combat situation in advance, and also to avoid the regret of missing pearls in the sea.

Competing for the jade slip and getting more benefits for the sect is the main purpose of the eighteen of them going to Blackwater City this time. With the existence of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land, this made all forces gather in Blackwater City. And because the Ziyun Mountain, where the Heavenly Sword Gate is located, is far away from Blackwater City, in order to facilitate the exchange, the Heavenly Sword Gate has established a branch in Blackwater City.

These news were all heard by Ye Xiaotian in Qin Yun in the past few days. He secretly glanced at the people next to him and found that they didn't look surprised, "It seems that they all know this from their respective divisions." Ye Xiaotian thought secretly.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Tianyun Zhenren continued: "Although there is still a full year before the opening of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land, this time I let you go in advance to let you go to the 100,000 Great Mountains to experience it, so that you can adapt to that kind of life and death battle more quickly. And this time, the elders of the master will not take you over, you are elite disciples of your own lineage, and you will naturally inherit the mantle of your master in the future, so this experience can make you become a unique character faster. ”

Everyone in the hall was moved.

Tianyun Zhenren briefly introduced the situation of the 100,000 Great Mountains, and cautiously warned everyone not to enter the depths easily. After that, he said that there are still many demon cults and demons and evil cultivators in the 100,000 Great Mountain, which are insidious, vicious, and treacherous, and it is best to deal with them carefully.

After saying this, Tianyun Zhenren took out some items from his arms, and everyone looked at them and found that they were maps made of nine sheepskins, each of which was densely marked with countless dots.

"This is a rough map from Purple Cloud City to Blackwater City, after all, there are several states between the two cities, and you will inevitably encounter dangers on the way, and it is very likely that you will be separated at that time, so you should take a map from each vein in case you need it!" After Tianyun Zhenren finished briefly, he handed out nine identical maps to everyone. Among them, Zixia Peak was obtained by Qin Feng, Shui Ling Peak was obtained by Senior Sister Yun, and Xue Yi was the only one to get the last share.

After distributing the map, Tianyun Zhenren sent another Hui Qi Pill to each person, this Hui Qi Pill is a third-level pill, and it can quickly recover the consumed Yuan Li after eating, but for the injury, it can't be recovered, which is not as good as the fourth-level pill vitality pill.

In the end, Tianyun Zhenren briefly explained again, which made everyone retreat.

After walking out of the main hall, Ye Xiaotian unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, in that hall, he always felt a little depressed and overwhelmed. It's just that before he finished his breath, he felt a heavy tap on the shoulder, and a somewhat cynical voice immediately came from his ears, "Brother Ye, we meet again!"

Ye Xiaotian shuddered, turned around, and saw a familiar face shaking in front of him, that decadent and a little lazy look, Ye Xiaotian couldn't forget it, "You, you are Brother Chenyuan, why are you here?"
