Deep in the Kunlun Mountains.

Two figures streaked across the sky, and soon stopped, standing in the air, looking out at a valley in front of them.

That is the location of Anyun Xinwu Academy, Luoyun Valley.

Luoyun Valley is a gourd-shaped valley, surrounded by steep mountain walls, forming a huge basin in the middle, and the peculiar thing is that in the center of this valley there is a hundred-zhang high peak, like a sharp sword, straight into the sky.

Lin Chen stood here in the sky, although he was still a few miles away from the valley, he could already see the buildings in the valley, with attics standing in all directions, which looked somewhat similar to the ruins of those mountain gates in the Ancient Land of Trial.

Feeling the situation around him, Lin Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became much more solemn.

The situation seems to be a bit troublesome.

Along the way, he has been spreading his senses, carefully observing the demon beasts in the Kunlun Mountains, and found that the demon beasts here seem to be very violent like the group of wild boars he encountered before.

And what worries him even more is that although these demon beasts are manic, they seem to be organized, and they are gathering here, and they don't know what the reason is.

Looking at the valley in front of him, Lin Chen frowned and said, "Here...... It's already the deepest part of the Kunlun Mountains, and it is actually built here, Luo Xuan's guy is quite courageous. ”

There were a lot of demon beasts around here, and Lin Chen even felt the existence of some demon beasts above level seven, this kind of demon beast could definitely be regarded as a hegemon.

Hong Tao didn't look surprised, and explained: "The predecessors don't know, the new martial arts academy is generally established in the depths of the mountains, and this is almost the case everywhere.

There are many reasons for this, the most important is that the spiritual veins in the depths of the mountains converge, and the concentration of spiritual power is much higher than that of cities with concentrated populations, which is more suitable for martial arts to cultivate, and can quickly cultivate martial arts power, and the domestic martial arts power can develop so rapidly, which has a lot to do with this. ”

Lin Chen nodded, this place was indeed a good place to cultivate.

He could feel that there seemed to be a small spiritual vein in the valley in front of him, and the spiritual power was obviously more intense, even if it was blocked by the formation, there was still a large amount of spiritual energy escaping, which could be regarded as a treasure land.

Hong Tao continued: "In addition, because the New Martial Arts Academy has gathered a large number of martial artists, it is a kind of deterrent to the demon beasts, which can make them honest, and it is also convenient to monitor the movements of the demon beasts at any time, and once they find any abnormalities, they can respond in time."

Of course, there is also a certain risk in doing so, after all, this place is in the center of the demon beast's lair, surrounded by a large number of demon beasts, and there are some big demons, once the demon beasts riot, the new martial arts academy will bear the brunt.

However, now that the strength of the New Martial Arts Academy has skyrocketed, they are not afraid of these demon beasts, but because they are afraid of the power of the New Martial Arts Academy, those big demons will generally warn their demon beasts to stay away from here. ”

Lin Chen was silent.

Is that so?

So what's the situation now?

I'm afraid it's not a good thing for these demon beasts to gather here for no reason.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."

Lin Chen's figure flashed and flew towards the entrance of Luoyun Valley.

At the entrance of Luoyun Valley, a five-person escort team was on duty, led by a strong man in his twenties, named Zhang Yu, who was the captain of this escort team.

As the team walked back and forth, the strong man looked in the direction of the valley from time to time, and a trace of melancholy leaked from his eyes.

Someone in the team also noticed that the captain was a little absent-minded, and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Yu paused and suddenly asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Huh?"

The man was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, took out a watch, looked at it, and said, "It's just half past six." ”

"Six-and-a-half ......" Zhang Yu groaned slightly.

Starting at seven o'clock in the morning, a total of five teams from the academy went out, two of which were going out on a mission and should not be back today.

As for the other three teams, they were just on ordinary patrol duty in the mountains and needed to return to the academy by seven o'clock in the evening.

According to the usual rules, these teams usually finish their patrols around five o'clock and return to the academy one after another, but today, for some reason, there is less than half an hour left until seven o'clock, and none of the three teams has returned, which makes him feel a little uneasy.

Although there have been cases of patrols returning late in the past, there has never been a case of all teams returning late at the same time, as it is today.

You must know that the night in the Kunlun Mountains is still a bit dangerous, and some demon beasts often come out to forage at night, and once the two sides meet, it is easy to cause some unnecessary conflicts.

However, to his slight reassurance, he had not received any distress signals so far, which meant that the three teams might have only been involved in some minor troubles and were not in major danger, otherwise they would have sent a signal to the academy for help.

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about this, his teammates on the side suddenly slapped him.

"Captain, someone is approaching."

Zhang Yu came back to his senses in an instant, and his expression was overjoyed.

Are you back?

He hurriedly looked up, and the next moment, his eyes froze.

Well?

Not from the Academy.

The two figures in front of him walked slowly, not the patrol team he thought, but two somewhat unfamiliar faces.

He suddenly became vigilant.

People outside the academy can safely cross the mountains, and the people who arrive here must not be ordinary people.

He stepped forward and said: "The two of you shouldn't be from our academy, this is the important place of Anyun Xinwu Academy, outsiders are not allowed to enter, I don't know what the two of you are here, please use your name to explain your intentions." ”

Lin Chen smiled, he was quite cautious, but this is okay, there are still escorts patrolling now, which means that there should be nothing wrong in the academy, otherwise this place would not be so peaceful.

He smiled faintly, "That's ...... I'm here to meet your dean, so please let me know. ”

What?

Zhang Yu was stunned, see our dean?

He couldn't help but look at the two of them carefully.

The young man on the left, who had just spoken, looked to be about twenty-four or five years old, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, and he didn't feel the slightest spiritual power on his body.

In his opinion, this kind of person is either an ordinary person or a hidden person, but the other party is too young and it is unlikely that he will be hidden deeply, but it is the person on the right, Zhang Yu can't help but pay attention to it.

From the moment the two of them approached, he felt a huge pressure from this person, and now that he carefully felt the spiritual aura on the other party's body, he could be sure that this was at least a martial artist above the fourth rank.

However, what made him a little puzzled was that as he looked closely, he faintly felt that this person's face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"We ...... Seen it before? Zhang Yu looked at Hong Tao and directly asked the doubts in his heart.

Hong Tao was stunned and looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen spread his hands, look at what I'm doing, and ask you.

Well, when Hong Tao saw this, he looked helpless.

However, he still turned his head to look at Zhang Yu and thought for a while: "My name is ...... Hong Tao, you may know it. ”

"Hong Tao?"

The moment he heard this name, Zhang Yu was a little confused at first, but the next moment, his eyes suddenly froze, and he looked surprised.

"How is that possible...... Senior Hong Tao is not ......"

He turned his head sharply to look at a mountain wall on the right side of the valley behind him.

The mountain wall seems to have been carved by hand, flat and smooth, with some words carved on it.

Lin Chen also looked over.

I saw a line of large characters carved on the top of the mountain wall.

Anyun Xinwu Academy Heroic Monument!

Below are the names of the rows of people, Lin Chen swept it at a glance, and the name Hong Tao was obviously engraved on it.

Lin Chenhuan glanced at Hong Tao with interest, thoughtful in his heart.

And Zhang Yu also looked at Hong Tao again, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and after a while, he took a deep breath and said, "You are really ...... Senior Hong Tao? ”

Hong Tao nodded, but after thinking about it, he took out a copper-brown brand from his body and handed it over.

Zhang Yu took it and looked at it, his eyes staring.

Anyun Xinwu Academy's student identity card!

It was written on it, a student of Anyun Xinwu Academy - Hong Tao.

This time, he really believed that the person in front of him might really be Senior Hong Tao.

But didn't it mean that Senior Hong Tao died in the ancient cultivation world, it alarmed the dean at that time, and the name of Hong Tao on the Yingjie monument was engraved by the dean himself.

What's going on now?

Zhang Yu was a little puzzled, but he still said enthusiastically: "Senior, you invite in first, and I will go and inform the leaders of the academy." ”

When he turned around, he looked back at Lin Chen, thought for a while, and said, "Senior, who is this?" ”

"When you see Luo Xuan, it's Mu Chen's visit, and he knows."

"Muchen ......"

Zhang Yu frowned, he really hadn't heard of this name.

However, this person dared to call the dean by his name, and there was no trace of respect between his words, which was really too arrogant.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he looked at Hong Tao, and finally held back his anger and turned his head to inform him.

"Senior, come with me."

At this time, a guard walked out and led Lin Chen and the two into an attic on the left.

During this period, this person looked at Hong Tao from time to time, and it was difficult to hide respect in his eyes.

In the academy, all the martial artists who fought in the ancient cultivation realm were heroes and should be respected.

Lin Chen took all this into his eyes, looked at Hong Tao, and couldn't help but smile: "You are quite popular here, but I am a little curious about why you became a Holy Sect Flame Sect later." ”

Hong Tao was silent, a thought flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into a sigh.

Seeing this, Lin Chen shook his head and smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.
