Legend has it that once you are attacked by the blood shadow, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will definitely be tied. But the old ghost knew that the lethal power of these two blood rays was actually exaggerated, at least with his current cultivation, it was very unlikely that he would use two blood rays to imprison a cultivator in the Crystallization Stage or other powerhouses of the same power level. Even Li Xiao and Xiaoshan, with the strength of their demon bodies, their two blood demons did not dare to say that they could control them.

This Blood Shadow Gate is notorious, but the cultivation realm may not be full of bloodless characters like Gu Yinan and Tu Wan Beasts, in case you meet one or two cultivators who are highly cultivated and jealous and hateful, will they still have a way to live if they are regarded as the evil cultivators of the Blood Shadow Gate?

"Alas—" The old ghost sighed, shook his head, and followed behind Li Xiao with a sad face.

Unconsciously, half a day passed quietly, and Li Xiao and others came to the bottom of the mountain beam that Gu Yinan said.

said that it was a mountain beam, but when it came to front of them, everyone knew how strange this "mountain beam" was. It was like a wall that stood in front of everyone, and the mountain wall was so flat and straight that it didn't even have the slightest inclination. At a height of 100 zhang from the ground, there is another sunken mountain beam, which also rises flatly.

Li Xiao, Chu Xiaotian and the others all looked at this mountain beam in surprise, and everyone felt a little shocked in their hearts. The hundred-zhang high mountain peak, extending from both sides to both sides, seems to be endless, and the visual impact can be imagined.

"Elders, this mountain beam can't actually be considered a mountain beam. Gu Yinan looked at their expressions, and secretly wondered in his heart, looking at their expressions, how did it seem that it was the first time he saw this mountain beam, didn't they pay attention to it when they came?

Gu Yinan was strange in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, and sneered at everyone: "Elders, this mountain beam should actually be regarded as a step, there are a total of nine steps going up from here, each level is as high as a hundred zhang, a total of nine hundred zhang high, at the peak, that is where the spiritual barrier is located." ”

Everyone looked up carefully, and sure enough, about every hundred zhang away, the mountain beam sank backwards, and it turned out to be a huge staircase. However, after four or five times, the steps on it have disappeared into the air, and the mist is shrouded in smoke and clouds, and it looks quite majestic.

"Let's go!" Li Xiao glanced around, suppressed a trace of shock in his heart, and was about to fly up, when he suddenly felt something strange, and couldn't help but turn his head to look somewhere.

At the same time, Chu Xiaotian, Gu Yinan and the others also sensed it, and everyone looked in the direction that Li Xiao was looking at almost at the same time.

But I saw that at the edge of the stairs of the first mountain beam, I don't know when, there was a figure in black sitting on it.

It was a long-bearded old man dressed in black, the old man had a clear face, a tall figure, and a dark black Hanfu with fluttering sleeves, full of antiquity, and at a glance, it made people feel a strange feeling, as if returning to some atmosphere of ancient times.

Li Xiao was shocked in his heart. Just before the blink of an eye, he had obviously glanced at the place where the old man was sitting cross-legged, and it was obviously empty at that time, and with his acute feeling now, he didn't even notice when the old man was sitting here.

The faces of the old ghost and Gu Yinan and the others also changed slightly, obviously, the feeling in their hearts was also as weird as Li Xiao.

Just when everyone was shocked and inexplicable, the old man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a distance of a hundred feet, and the two eyes swept over like this, and everyone suddenly felt as if they were being surrounded by two sharp swords, and they all had the feeling of being seen through at a glance.

The old man's gaze swept away, and immediately condensed on Chu Xiaotian's body, and suddenly smiled, and said: "Sure enough, if we didn't guess wrong, we knew that you would definitely find a way to return to Qingqiu, and through the Strange Continent, it was naturally the fastest way." ”

Li Xiao and the others looked at Chu Xiaotian in amazement, but saw that Chu Xiaotian's face had become as white as a face, and his eyes were full of horror.

Chu Xiaotian took a long breath, and his face quickly returned to normal. Looking at the inquiring eyes of Li Xiao and the others, Chu Xiaotian smiled lightly and said to Li Xiao: "I'm sorry, Li Xiao, in fact, I have been with you for a purpose, and I want to use your strength to help me and Xiaoqian tide over this difficulty." I'm not sure if the danger I envisioned would come, but now, unfortunately, my vision has come true. ”

Li Xiao frowned and looked at Chu Xiaotian. In fact, even if Chu Xiaotian didn't say it, for such a long time, Li Xiao and the old ghost were slightly suspicious in their hearts. Since he was on Earth, Li Xiao felt that Chu Xiaotian intended to get close to him, and at first he didn't realize that Chu Xiaotian was a cultivator in the marrow washing stage, which was reasonable. If Chu Xiaotian was just an ordinary businessman, it was normal for him to be dependent on Li Xiao, after all, Li Xiao had shown a different strength in front of him.

But since Chu Xiaotian had the cultivation of the marrow washing period, compared to Li Xiao at that time, his strength was too strong. Obviously having more power than the other party, but deliberately approaching the other party, this situation inevitably seems a bit intriguing.

"Boss Chu, I don't really understand, you have both a hidden spirit soldier and a cultivation in the marrow cleansing period, and you still need to rely on my strength?"

"Of course, when I met you, your strength was not strong, but it wasn't your real strength after all, was it? With your talent, your strength would change amazingly every time you ascended to the heavens. For example, right now, your strength is far above mine, so I chose to be friends with you, which is not good at all. And you now know that I have a spiritual bondage, and I don't know when I will have a seizure, just like an ordinary person who has no power to restrain a chicken, so you will be of great help to me. ”

Chu Xiaotian smiled slightly, in this moment's effort, his face had calmed down, his eyes were shining at the old man in black, his eyes were extremely calm, there was neither joy nor sadness.

"You've already seen my true identity?" Li Xiao's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of anger. In other words, it is uncomfortable to find that you are being kept in the dark like a fool. What's more, Chu Xiaotian obviously not only kept him in the dark, but also used him as a shield.

Chu Xiaotian shook his head, and continued: "You have the Eye of Broken Annihilation, and your demon body is too strong, even if my cultivation is beyond one realm of yours, I can't see your identity. However, in my memories of my past life, I happen to have some memories of your race, so I guessed your identity. Oh, by the way, you have the Broken Eye of Oblivion, which I guessed as well. ”

Li Xiao looked at the old ghost and Xiaoshan, suddenly smiled coldly, and said to Chu Xiaotian: "I'm sorry Boss Chu, I, Li Xiao, am very righteous and can stick a knife in my friend's ribs." But I don't like to be fooled like a fool in the dark. Therefore, I will not participate in the grievances between you and this senior, please ask for more blessings from yourself!"

Li Xiao said, grabbed Zhang Biao, and slowly stepped back.

The old ghost sighed faintly, and also followed behind Li Xiao, retreating with him. Xiaoshan looked at the old man, then at Chu Xiaoqian, and was hesitating, Li Xiao had already shouted: "Xiaoshan!"

"Boss ......"

Xiaoshan looked at Chu Xiaoqian, and then at Li Xiao, as if he wanted to say something more, but after touching Li Xiao's cold gaze, he finally swallowed back the words that had slipped to his mouth. pouted, and jumped up and down on Li Xiao's shoulder.

As soon as Tai Suizi saw the old man in black appear, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. He groaned slightly, as if he was caught in some kind of difficulty, and it was rare that he did not pace and blow like before. Feeling that Li Xiao and the others were retreating towards the rear, Tai Suizi also subconsciously moved his footsteps and retreated with Li Xiao and the others.

Graeme looked at Chu Xiaotian, and then at Li Xiao and the others who were constantly retreating, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and retreated towards Li Xiao and the others. Gu Yinan and Tu Wan Beast naturally had no choice, since Li Xiao and the old ghost's figures moved, the two of them knew each other very well and kept the same.

A moment later, under the gaze of the old man in black, only Chu Xiaotian and Chu Xiaoqian, the brothers and sisters, Li Xiao and the others, were left in place, and they had all retreated to a distance of more than ten zhang.

"Li Xiao, you know that you don't know you as well as I do. ”

Seeing Li Xiao and the others retreating, Chu Xiaotian's face did not change at all, he smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "With your temper, where would you see me and Xiaoqian being killed alive in front of your eyes? We are friends after all, you can't do this kind of thing." I know you're angry with me, but to be honest, I didn't mean to hide it from you. With your character, if I confess everything to you and then ask for your help, I am sure you will not ignore it. It's just that my life experience with Xiaoqian is a long story, I just want to wait for a suitable time to confess the matter to you. ”

Li Xiao looked at Chu Xiaotian angrily, to be honest, he didn't know if he was angry at this time. Chu Xiaotian is right, no matter what, except for Chu Xiaotian's little trick against him, as ordinary friends, these two brothers and sisters have never had any ill will towards themselves. Moreover, in addition to Li Xiao's previous behavior of not hesitating to fight with Qi Ge and others for the sake of Tai Suizi and Xiaoshan, Li Xiao also owed him a small favor, after all, Xiaoshan was like his own son to him. Chu Xiaotian was willing to risk his life in order to protect Xiaoshan, and with this alone, he couldn't watch him being killed.

"Besides, even if you want to stay out of it now, it is impossible for you to stay out of it, since this man has found me, there must be only one person between me and him who can live. And he will not let you go alive, and it is useless for you to show your attitude of being a bystander. Although this man had the intention to kill me, he did not let people know that he had the courage to kill me. Chu Xiaotian looked at the old man in black sarcastically, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
