"Disciple, meet the Great Elder, the Third Elder......

At the mountain gate of the back mountain, two disciples with long swords in their hands bent down and saluted.

"Good work."

Jiang Yuan said lightly.

"Great Elder, you are serious. As a disciple of the mountain guard, this is our duty. ”

One of the sword-wielding disciples replied respectfully.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

"It's such a strong breath, I didn't expect that the disciples guarding the door in the back mountain have all reached the cultivation of the realm of human respect."

Luo Chen's brows furrowed, as if he had sensed the strength of the other party.

"My good man, this inner courtyard is different, just the disciples who guard the mountain gate in the back mountain are much higher than the disciples who guard the mountain at the front gate of Cangyun Academy."

Jin Yang on the side was a little surprised.

"This senior brother, it's a joke."

It was still the same sword-wielding disciple who clasped his fist towards Jin Yang and said.

"After walking through this mountain gate, you can be regarded as truly entering the scope of the inner courtyard."

Jiang Yuan turned around and said to everyone.

"Come with me."

Then, Jiang Yuan took the lead and walked away.

"Everyone, keep up!"

After Chu Fan urged, he also stepped away.

As for Elder Qi Feng on the side, when he saw that Luo Chen had started to fly with his sword, he slowly followed, and seemed to care about Luo Chen.

Then, everyone began to urge their true qi, jumped up from the mountain gate, and followed closely in the direction where Jiang was far away.

"The disciples who went to the inner courtyard to practice this time are quite strong, especially those women."

At this time, the disciple who had been silent said softly.

"The strength of those women is indeed extraordinary, but I didn't expect that among the disciples who went to the inner courtyard in this session, there were still mid-stage cultivators."

Another disciple guarding the mountain looked at Luo Chen's back and said with some emotion.

"However, looking at this face, it looks a little familiar, as if I have seen it in the academy before......"

……

When everyone swept over the mountain gate and flew into the back mountain, what appeared in front of everyone was an endless sea of bamboo, green bamboo like the sea, wisps of light smoke as if in a fairyland.

"Oh my God! I didn't expect there to be such a big bamboo sea here! ”

Mu Quan was a little surprised.

"Good fellows! I didn't expect to be able to see the scenery on the way to the inner courtyard......"

Tuchuan carried the sledgehammer on his shoulders and said with some emotion.

"After staying in the academy for so long, I didn't expect that behind the back mountain was a bamboo sea with no end in sight......"

Ouyang Qianhui frowned and exclaimed a little.

"The power of heaven and earth here seems to be very strong!"

Lingyin sighed softly.

Everyone was also shocked by the scene in front of them.

"The air here is so fresh!"

Ji Feng also closed his eyes slightly, feeling the fragrance of bamboo leaves.

"Sister-in-law, don't say it, the air here is comparable to that of our Great Beast Forest."

The little black royal spear flew and flattered Ji Feng on his side.

After hearing Xiao Hei's words, Ji Feng instantly fell into deep thought, and was stunned for a moment.

"It seems like I haven't been back for a long time, and I wonder if everything is okay in the clan?"

Ji Feng's heart thought for a while.

seemed to see Ji Feng's thoughts, and Luo Chen also glanced at Xiao Hei.

Feeling that he had said the wrong thing, Xiao Hei kept silent at the moment, and just sped forward.

"Feng'er, when we are successful in cultivation and leave Cangyun Academy, let's go back to the Great Forest of Alien Beasts, shall we?"

Luo Chen came to Ji Feng's side and said softly.

"Hmm."

Ji Feng nodded lightly in response.

"Master, how can there be such a big bamboo sea here?"

Xiao Hei, who was the first to fly forward, asked Jiang Yuan.

"Haha!"

Looking at the very curious apprentice in front of him, Jiang Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, and then said slowly: "This piece of bamboo sea is called Wanzhang Bamboo, as the name suggests, this bamboo sea is tens of thousands of zhang large. ”

"So big?"

Xiao Hei was a little surprised.

"Wanzhang Bamboo is a sea of bamboo between the Outer Courtyard Sky Mountain and the Inner Courtyard Hell Palace, and the entrance to the Inner Courtyard Hell Palace is hidden in this Wanzhang Bamboo."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said.

"Hell Palace in the Inner Courtyard? Master, how does the name of this inner courtyard sound eerie......"

I don't know if I was really scared or pretended to come out, Xiao Hei shivered beside Jiang Yuan.

"Haha! You'll know when you get there. ”

Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Then Jiang Yuan shouted to the people behind him: "Little guys, the front is the depths of this bamboo sea, and a lot of magic circles have been laid in the depths of the bamboo sea, you have to follow me next!" ”

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

The crowd replied loudly.

"The third, fourth, and fifth, you must always pay attention to these little guys, and if you accidentally fall into the magic circle, you must pull them out in time!"

Seeming to be a little uneasy, Jiang Yuan also admonished a few elders again.

"Okay, senior brother."

Several elders said in unison.

"In this sea of bamboo, there is even a magic circle?"

Luo Chen also frowned and sighed.

"No wonder, since leaving the Houshan Mountain Gate, I haven't seen the mountain guards and patrols along the way. It turned out that circles were arranged around the inner courtyard......"

Ji Feng also sighed lightly, and seemed to be shocked by the college's generosity.

Under the leadership of Jiang Yuan and the assistance of the elders, there were no changes along the way.

It seems that the elders are very familiar with the route leading to the entrance of the inner courtyard, and for Luo Chen and the others, they only need to firmly follow the pace of the elders.

However, along the way, everyone still felt more than a dozen powerful magic circles, which seemed to protect the entrance of the inner courtyard in this bamboo sea in all directions.

It didn't take long for Jiang Yuan, who was taking the lead in the front, to stop in mid-air.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Jiang Yuan sighed: "Little guys, we have arrived, and below is the entrance to the inner courtyard." ”

Looking at the dense bamboo sea under their feet, everyone frowned.

Because there is still a dense bamboo sea below, as for the entrance to the inner courtyard, it has not been found at all.

"Master, there doesn't seem to be any entrance to the inner courtyard below? As far as the eye can see, it is all a dense bamboo sea......"

Xiao Hei couldn't help but step forward and asked.

"Haha! You kid. ”

Jiang Yuan nodded Xiao Hei's head, and then said to the people behind him, "You guys come down with me." ”

After speaking, Jiang Yuan took the lead in jumping into the bamboo sea and slowly landed on the ground.

Several elders on the other side also shook their heads and smiled, and then they each swept towards the ground.

Seeing that the elders all fell to the ground one after another, Luo Chen and the others immediately followed.

"I was flying in the sky just now, but I really didn't notice it, I didn't expect the bamboo here to be so thick!"

Jin Yang touched a piece of bamboo beside him and said with some emotion.

"There seems to be a powerful circle here......"

Ouyang Qianhui frowned and sighed lightly.

"Qianhui, do you feel it too?"

Lingyin on the side smiled and said.

"Master, there doesn't seem to be an entrance to the inner courtyard here?"

Xiao Hei couldn't help but ask again.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and smiled, and didn't answer Xiao Hei's question, but just said to the elders around him: "The third, fourth, and fifth, it's time to open the magic circle and open the entrance to the inner courtyard!" ”

"Yes, senior brother!"

The crowd replied loudly.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan and the others stood with their backs to each other in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north.

"Four Golden Lock Array!"

As Jiang Yuan and the others urged their true qi one after another, a powerful energy began to gradually emanate.

In just a moment, four transparent valves slowly rose around everyone, and for a time they were as high as more than ten zhang.

At this moment, these four valves are like four towering copper walls and iron walls, surrounding everyone in this bamboo sea.

"Open it for me!"

As Jiang Yuan shouted, he saw that something was breaking through the ground on the originally flat ground.

This scene really shocked everyone, and everyone watched the movement here.

Under the gaze of everyone, a stone tablet slowly broke through the ground and stood up.

"Hell Palace!"

The stele is engraved with three large black characters, which is very shocking.

"Wouldn't it? Don't say that this thing, which looks like a tombstone, is the entrance to the inner courtyard? ”

Mu Quan frowned and said with some surprise.

"Exactly! Little ones, this stone tablet that appears in front of you is the entrance to the inner courtyard, and once you cross this stone tablet, it means that you have truly entered the inner courtyard Hell Palace, and your cultivation has begun. ”

Jiang Yuan walked in front of the stele and explained loudly to the people behind him.

"Just through the cracks in this stone tablet, I seem to have felt the strong power of heaven and earth inside."

Luo Chen was shocked.

"Big brother, after you say this, I seem to have felt some of the power of heaven and earth inside."

Xiao Hei also felt it.

"The people present are all the top ten powerhouses on this year's top 100 list, and they are also the elite disciples in the outer courtyard of Cangyun Academy. Right now, although you are about to enter the inner courtyard to challenge, I still have to say the ugly old man in front. ”

Jiang Yuan said earnestly, it seemed that the Great Elder's expression was already very solemn from this moment on.

After Jiang Yuan showed this solemn look, everyone also closed their mouths and began to listen carefully.

"Everyone, this inner courtyard is not as safe as the outer courtyard, if the Seven Cultivation Pagodas in the outer courtyard are just a place for cultivation, then this underground palace in the inner courtyard is a killing battlefield. Hell Palace, as the name suggests, means that you have to go through life and death in it before you can break through. I can tell you responsibly that even if you die in this hell palace in the future, it will be a normal thing! So, are you really ready to enter this Hell Palace to practice? ”

Jiang Yuan told it in a serious way from beginning to end, and it seemed that he really said the ugly things in front.

Sure enough, under Jiang Yuan's words, many people's faces began to show a trace of hesitation.

If everyone is still talking and laughing in front of this bamboo sea, then no one has a smile on their faces at this moment.

"This great elder really has a terrifying ability."

Lingyin frowned and sighed lightly.

"It's all here, do you want to go back?"

Jin Yang gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes! Jin Yang is right, we finally waited until today, how can we say give up! ”

Mu Quan on the side also hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"Hmph, I don't believe it, I have to break through today!"

Tokawa slammed the sledgehammer on his shoulder to the ground, smashing a shallow hole.

For a while, everyone was full of passion, and it seemed that the Great Elder's words did not frighten them, but on the contrary, they also stimulated you.

As for Luo Chen and Ji Feng, they just glanced at each other and did not express their opinions, as if they had guessed that the white-haired old man in front of them had not finished speaking.
