Volume 21, Chapter 3 [The Price of Freedom]

After Kun Xuozi saw that Wang Rui came back with the Taoist companion, he glanced at Han Na slightly, and was a little surprised to see that she was just a Yuanying monk. As for Hana's appearance, he didn't pay attention to it.

In the cultivation world, it is not uncommon for the country to be beautiful and fragrant, and it is not uncommon for women to fall into the city. However, Kun Xuozi was still puzzled, because Wang Rui's feelings for Ha Na were obviously real, and he didn't look like a person who coveted women, maybe there was really true love in this world.

"The relationship between the virtuous couple is so good, and the old man is a little envious." Kun Xuzi teased.

Wang Rui picked up the teacup and toasted a few people, and Han Na also raised a glass to tea.

Both sides seemed much more accommodating, chatted briefly, and explained some situations.

The main reason is Wang Rui's understanding of Kun Xuzi, this swamp known as Molong Pond is actually a sealing enchantment, but this enchantment is mainly to trap demon beasts, especially Kun Xuzi and other big demons.

I don't know if it was the enchantment laid by the powerful of the puppet gate in the first place, or if he invited other powerful people to come.

"Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, in fact, seeing you this time, as well as several Desolate Clansmen who were transferred here through the power of space before, as well as this Daoist companion of yours, give us new hope, so I want to invite Your Excellency to discuss one thing." Kun Xuzi stroked his beard and spoke.

The three of Luluo, Kui Niu and Tianworm looked a little nervous, although Han Na didn't understand it very well, but she also understood that maybe she had taken a fancy to her husband's ability or treasure or something.

"You're asking if there's a way to get out of here, aren't you?" Wang Rui asked.

Kun Xuzi's eyes suddenly flashed, and the other three were breathing a lot heavier.

"Yes, fellow Daoist, you seem to have a special ability to open up the spatial passage between the outside world and this side, so that you can travel freely, this ...... Just what we need." Kun Xuzi simply said bluntly.

Wang Rui had previously used the power of the dragon clan's inheritance, the power of the star spirit, and the power of the divine tree in the underground frozen enchantment of the Ice Xuan Palace, opening up the passage from the enchantment to the outside world, but unexpectedly, he was connected to the inside of the enchantment of Molong Pond.

"Can't you break this barrier with the strength of your demon clan?" Wang Rui asked curiously.

Kun Xuzi smiled bitterly: "We have tried many methods, but we can't do it, and the old man has also checked some hidden news, it is said that it is very likely that this enchantment was not set up by human monks, but ...... Immortals!"

"Immortals?" Wang Rui and Han Na's eyes widened, they had heard for the first time that immortals had left traces in the mortal world.

Kun Xuzi nodded and replied, "It is rumored that when the immortal realm was not destroyed, immortals would occasionally come to the mortal world to travel. Molongtan was originally the place where the main altar of a certain demon sect was located, and these demon cultivators were good at cultivating and manipulating demon beasts. They have plagued the world for thousands of years, poisoning countless creatures, which made this traveling immortal angry, and in a fit of rage, he exterminated the Demon Cult, and set up an ancient seal enchantment here, all the demon beasts in the enchantment can not escape from this place, unless there are demon beasts turning mortals into immortals. However, there are monks of other clans who can enter here from the outside, but the monks of the demon clan cannot step in."

Although Luluo and the others had heard some of Kunxuzi talk about it, they were not as detailed as today, so they also listened carefully. The same is true of Wang Rui and Han Na, what they said to Kun Xuzi

Seeing this, Kun Xuzi continued, "In this way, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the demon beasts in this enchantment have not been able to escape. But for some reason, the power of the enchantment began to decay, and the power of the demon beasts from generation to generation, after breaking through to the transformation, they continued to try to crack the way out of the predicament. Later, it wasn't until our predecessors learned from the Terran monks that the immortal realm had been destroyed, and those immortals were probably killed in battle, that we knew why."

"It stands to reason that the power of the barrier is constantly weakened, and you have more hope, so why are you turning to me now?" Wang Rui pinched his chin and asked.

Kui Niu couldn't help but interject and said, "Seniors don't know, although the power of this ancient enchantment is weakening, it has another kind of suppression on our demon beast clan, that is, the upper limit of cultivation."

"Taking the Ancestor as an example, the Ancestor had already broken through to the late stage of the transformation stage ten thousand years ago, which was equivalent to the peak of the Terran Monk's Merge Realm, but after ten thousand years, he could not break through. The immortal who set up this enchantment may have set up the power of the law in the enchantment because he considered whether the sealing enchantment would be weakened and broken through in the future if he was not there. This is a power that only immortals can grasp, under the law, the demon beast clan of this enchantment can only stay in the late stage of transformation for life, and if they forcibly break through the upper limit, it will trigger a backlash, causing death to come, and thus death and death." Celestial Worm said indignantly.

"Death?" Wang Rui looked at Kun Xuzi in confusion.

Kun Xuzi motioned for the pothos to reply, and the pothos cleared his throat and said, "Senior, if a mortal monk wants to turn a mortal into an immortal, he must undergo the test of the Heavenly Tribulation. Naturally, there are also in this enchantment, but unlike the Heavenly Tribulation, which has the opportunity for the monk to pass the test, the Death Tribulation does not, once the Death Tribulation is triggered, it will inevitably be a dead body, and for tens of thousands of years, there have been no accidents."

"I see, do you want me to open the way between here and the outside world, and then leave from here?" Wang Rui asked.

"Exactly!" Kun Xuzi admitted, and the other three also looked at him with longing eyes.

Wang Rui was silent in thought and slowly closed his eyes. qqxδnew

Seeing this, Kun Xuozi knew that Wang Rui would not agree easily, so he got up and took the initiative to leave: "Daoist friends are a little tired today, I will wait to say goodbye."

Seeing that Kun Xuzi took the initiative to say goodbye, the three of Luluo didn't say much, and left with their farewell.

Only when only Wang Rui and Han Na were left here did he open his eyes.

"Big brother, you don't want to help them?" Hana picked up a grape and put it in Wang Rui's mouth.

Wang Rui tasted it and said, "Nana, do you think I should help them?"

"Are you afraid that their ferocity has not changed, they have resentment, and once they go out, they will wait for an opportunity to take revenge and bring harm to the world again?" Hana looked down and thought for a moment and asked.

Wang Rui nodded and said, "If what this Kun Xuzi said is true, then the demon beasts in the enchantment may be close to the existence of monsters, and once they are released, the consequences will be unimaginable. This kind of calamity once broke out in Dongxuanzhou, and some people deliberately released monsters, causing countless deaths and injuries to mortals, and many monks also fell, so I'm afraid I can't agree to them, after all, I can't tell whether they have changed their ways for the better, or if they have hidden their demonic nature."

"What the eldest brother said also makes sense, but I have different ideas than the eldest brother." In a rare move, Han Na did not listen to Wang Rui's advice.

"Oh, tell me about it?" Wang Rui didn't care, looked at Han Na, and felt that the woman in front of him had changed drastically from the girl when he first met.

If the earliest Hana was too introverted and submissive, she was like a humble weed in the corner of the shadows.

But at present, Han Na has a confident side, perhaps because she has followed Wang Rui over the years, experienced a lot, and grown up, which is what Wang Rui wants to see.

A Taoist couple who completely worships himself may not be able to stay together for a lifetime, but a Taoist couple who has their own ideas and independence can support each other.

Han Na met Wang Rui's encouraging gaze, her face was slightly red, and she considered it and said, "Big brother, I think we should give them a chance. Continuing to keep them here will only slaughter more monks who have entered the swamp, and there have been many deaths over the years, and I almost died here. If someone maliciously drove innocent people into the swamp, then there would be no fewer people who died in vain, but with the help of the demon beasts and these big demons here. If you can take them out and make a three-chapter agreement with them, or even put them in charge of guarding this swamp, you can save more people. Of course, how to make them willing to make an agreement with the eldest brother for three chapters, the eldest brother still has to find a way."

After finishing speaking, Wang Rui looked at Han Na in surprise, he thought that Han Na was just out of a sense of pity, but there was no solution, but now it clearly pointed out the solution, but there was still a lack of some means to ensure it.

"Yes, Nana, you already have your own ideas, I'm glad I will refine your ideas, and how to keep them restrained is my forte." Wang Rui has some confidence in this, when he just crossed over, when he was in the Xutian Sect, he met Lei Wantong and forced him to hand over the blood of the Yuan Soul to ensure his safety.

It doesn't matter what method is, as long as it works, it's a good way.

Han Na hugged Wang Rui a little proudly, her eyes were full of affection, Wang Rui was also a little moved, and the two then had a rare warmth.

A few days later, Kun Xuzi visited again, and the three of Luluo, Kui Niu and Tianworm were still with him.

Wang Rui asked Hana to cook tea for everyone, and then withdrew, Kun Xuzi and the others saw this, and immediately knew that Wang Rui might make a decision today.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, Kun Xuzi and the others waited for tens of thousands of years to wait for a person like Wang Rui who had the ability to break the enchantment, if they were rejected and their hopes were shattered, that kind of mood would probably make the two sides fight.

Pothos frowned, feeling a little heavy in her heart. Kui Niu is two thick breaths like training, constantly inhaling and exhaling from the nostrils. From time to time, the insects close their limbs, and they feel uneasy.

Kun Xuzi looked motionless like a mountain, and his eyes were unwavering, but Wang Rui noticed that the surface of the tea in his teacup was rippling from time to time, and the source of the fluctuation naturally came from this calm old man, and suddenly a confident arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When several people saw Wang Rui's confident smile, their moods suddenly changed again, and the original tense atmosphere relaxed slightly, perhaps interrupted by his calm confidence.

However, Wang Rui has been silent, but the pressure on everyone gradually increased, and in the end, it was Kun Xuzi who took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

"I don't know if the Origin Heavenly Daoist has made a decision?" Kun Xuzi asked in a deep voice, clenching the cup with one hand.

Wang Rui drank all the tea in the cup, and then put it on the table, the spiritual pressure spread, and his eyes swept over everyone, making several people feel great pressure.

"Yes!" Two simple words, but almost drained the mana of a few people, but then a burst of ecstasy followed.

However, Wang Rui's subsequent "but" made several of them levitate their hearts again.

"Back then, in order to relieve the suffering of the mortal world, that immortal set up this ancient sealing enchantment, in fact, it is not wrong to say it, I don't know what you think?" Wang Rui's eyes were sharp, his essence flickered, and the spiritual pressure of the peak cultivator of the Merge Realm was fully expanded, making several people feel their scalps tingle, even Kun Xuzi felt powerless.

The same cultivation, but the actual combat power may not be so close, Kun Xuzi suddenly found that as if he was doing it, he did not have the confidence to defeat Wang Rui.

The other three looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

In the end, it was Kun Xuzi who sighed and arched his hand and said, "Daoist friend is right, back then, my ancestors were influenced by the Demon Sect and committed murder, and the immortals punished me, which was not wrong. It's just that in the past tens of thousands of years, we have already changed our minds and no longer do the things of the Demon Sect, and we also hate the behavior of the Demon Sect. Fellow Daoists, please deliver us from the sea of suffering."

After speaking, Kun Xuzi took a step back, and actually took the initiative to bow down, facing the monks of the same rank, he chose to bow his head.

Seeing this, the three of them didn't dare to insist anymore, and bowed down one after another, although Kui Niu and Tian Worm were very reluctant, but they were also forced to do so.

However, Wang Rui was still unmoved in the face of this situation, and continued: "Well said, the actions of the Demon Sect are indignant to the people and gods, which is also what I am worried about, if the passage is opened so that you can get out of the cage, if you change your mind again and do the Demon Dao again, wouldn't you be the culprit?"

"No, no, no, why do you say this? We have already eliminated the center of the clan to the people of the Demon Dao, and now we just want to find a place to breed and grow our clan after we go out, and we don't want to have anything to do with the Demon Dao anymore. If you violate this oath, you will not be able to break through the cultivation for the rest of your life, and you will not enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, and you will disappear." Kun Xuzi raised his finger and swore to the sky.

The three of them also swore a poisonous oath, and the monk swore that it was different from mortals, and once it was violated, it would become a demon in his heart, and he would definitely fight back, so the monk would not swear easily, especially the poisonous oath.

However, Wang Rui is still not satisfied, how can the mere oath make him convinced, he knows that whether it is a human or a demon, there is a bad side in nature, although there is also a good side, but it is often willing to fall, so more powerful means are needed.

Seeing that Wang Rui was still silent, Kun Xuozi's expression was solemn, knowing that he could not be trusted by this person.

"Fellow Daoist, if you can help Zai Xia and the clansmen get out of trouble, Zai Xia is willing to dedicate this Youlan Valley to Daoist friends." A hint of heartache flashed in Kunxuzi's eyes, but he was very firm, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Ancestor ......" Luluo The faces of the three of them changed drastically, this Youlan Valley had taken thousands of years of Ancestor's hard work to become what it is today, but now it was sacrificed, even if it was not their hard work, it made them feel unbearable.

"Needless to say, if you can't escape from this cage, even if you have Youlan Valley, what if my generation has cultivated to the point where it is now, is it just for enjoyment?" Kun Xuzi's words suddenly made the three of Luluo bow their heads in shame.

Wang Rui also frowned, he didn't expect the other party to be willing to give such a big blood, but it seemed to disrupt his plan. Of course, the other party also played with words, originally it was just a few of them, but now they have unknowingly added their clansmen, which is a few ethnic groups.

All, Wang Rui still won't give up the plan he made because of this, so he stood up and helped Kun Xuozi up, and the three of Luluo also got up, and then let them make a big salute, which was a bit overbearing.

"Since I want to open the passage for you, I must take the responsibility of letting you go, which is also my consistent principle. I won't say much nonsense, I want to get out of here, I have two conditions. First, after leaving here, several of you, including the descendants of your clansmen, must take on the responsibility of taking care of Molongtan in the future to prevent anyone from deliberately persecuting innocent people. Once someone is found to have similar demonic behavior, there is no forgiveness for killing, is it possible?" Wang Rui asked coldly, at this moment, he seemed very ruthless.

Kun Xuzi thought for a while, and then briefly discussed with the three of them, and then said on behalf of everyone: "We have accepted, as long as our clansmen leave here, we will send the strong guards of our clan to serve as guards on a regular basis, which can be regarded as a kind of experience, to ensure that Molongtan will not become a place of slaughter. However, fellow Daoist, do you know that this Molongtan is the sphere of influence of the puppet sect, even if there is an agreement between you and me, without their consent, I am afraid that it will not be counted."

"It's okay, I'll let them pay me this place willingly." After Wang Rui heard this, he smiled confidently, and this scene fell in the eyes of several people, and he once again sighed that this Terran monk could not be provoked. A Molong Pond is an important place of trial for the puppet sect, especially the monks after the Yuan Infant came here to practice, and there were many benefits, but now they want to cede it out, isn't it like robbery?

Then, Wang Rui raised a second finger and said, "You must accept the second condition."

"What conditions, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Since Kun Xuzi has made a bloody investment today, he will not care about any harsh conditions.

"The four of you, each hand over a drop of his own Yuan Soul blood to me, and after a hundred years, I will return it to you in person or send someone to return it to you." Wang Rui said briefly, but it was no less than a thunderclap on the ground.

"Too much deception!"

"You're too aggressive, aren't you?"

"How can you agree to such conditions?"

Kun Xuzi was silent, lowered his head, and seemed to be a little angry.

Ignoring the pressure of Wang Rui's spirit permeating his body for a while, the heavenly insect took the lead, bullied forward, and slapped it with one palm.

Wang Rui seemed to have expected it, raised an arm, and a burst of earth-based spiritual power exploded, and this arm suddenly quickly turned into the form of a dragon claw, and fought with the other party fiercely.

Bang!

The violent shaking came out, the entire Youlan Valley shook, a large number of birds and birds and beasts were startled, and Han Na, who stayed near the entrance of the cave, looked a little entangled at this time, but remembering Wang Rui's advice, she still suppressed the worries and irritability in her heart and continued to meditate.

The heavenly insect was forced to retreat by Wang Rui under the palm of his hand, but he still refused to retreat, and his body clicked to make strange changes, as if it was deformed, and suddenly turned into a whole body covered by hard armor, and then as many as sixteen limbs representing arms appeared, holding a weapon one after another.

Wang Rui didn't care, and continued to fight with him with one arm, and the power of the true dragon was about thirty percent.

These weapons slashed at Wang Rui's body protection qi shield, and they couldn't penetrate deep at all, and the earth spirit armor was extremely powerful.

A long white breath came out of Kui Niu's two nostrils, and seeing that the heavenly insect could not help Wang Rui, he suddenly roared angrily and rushed directly into it.

Seeing this, the pothos no longer hesitated, but she did not step forward, but stood behind the two of them, and the aura of green spiritual power kept coming out, and then a large number of vines emerged from the ground, and then quickly became thick, all of them were some plants that looked a little terrifying.

These plants spit out nut or filamentous attacks towards Wang Rui, and Wang Rui's other arm also transformed into a dragon claw at this time, and at the same time, there was a thick earth spirit battle armor on his chest and abdomen.

In the face of the attack of the three people, Wang Rui still suppressed them steadily, and at the same time had the strength to look at Kun Xuozi, who had been silent and bowed his head as if he was thinking.

The heavenly insects and Kui Niu wrapped around Wang Rui's arms, and the terrifying plants controlled by the pothos quickly bit Wang Rui's head.

Roar!

A dragon roar came out, and a huge real dragon phantom appeared behind Wang Rui, directly crashing into the three of them, Kui Niu and the heavenly insect bore the brunt, and were directly knocked into the air, falling to the ground one after another, unable to get up for a while.

Then the pothos tried desperately to block it, but in any case, the real dragon phantom in front of her was so unstoppable that the pothos was so anxious that her face sweated, and she felt the threat of death.

"Stop!" With a shout from Kun Xuzi, his figure disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in front of the green pothos, stretched out one hand, and pinched the phantom, and suddenly a huge single hand was stuck in the neck of the real dragon phantom, so that the phantom could not move in an inch.

Seeing this, Kun Xuozi increased the strength in his hand, and at the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out a black puppet, hitting the phantom, causing the phantom to be pierced, and then shot at Wang Rui.

"It's a good time." Wang Rui's elbow moved back, and then a punch blasted out, and immediately shot out a hundred flying dragons, although it was not a complete Hundred Split Dragon Fist, otherwise the power would be too great, and this cave would collapse.

Rao was like this, the entire cave house trembled, if it weren't for a few people to restrain the scale of the battle, it would have been dilapidated a long time ago.

This punch directly dispersed the black horse training, but the black impact after the spread still affected Wang Rui, Kun Xuzi was also affected by this incomplete Hundred Split Dragon Fist, and the two of them were shocked by their own shapes, and they felt a bit of each other's real strength.

Subsequently, both of them restrained their efforts, and the three of them all looked at Wang Rui with apprehension at the moment, and retreated behind Kunxuzi one after another.

"The second condition is unchangeable, and if you want to be free, you have to pay a price. I won't hide it from you, my real name is Wang Rui, I am a person from East Xuanzhou, and now I am a guest of the Sword Sect, and I am about to return to East Xuanzhou, you can investigate my background, if you don't agree, then we will have a serious fight to see if you have the ability to keep me. If you agree, then we will be friends in the future, and we can work together, and the future is up to you."

After speaking, Wang Rui turned around and left, and the four of Kun Xuzi did not dare to stop him.

"Wang Rui? Old Ancestor, could it be that he is the former leader of the Eastern Xuanzhou Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"Recently, there has been a lot of uproar, is that Wang Rui who is famous in the four continents?"

"It turned out to be this person, no wonder the strength is so strong."

Kun Xuzi looked at Wang Rui's distant back, and said to himself: "There is no void under the fame, and the old man is convinced."
