On the other side, Lu Ming and the three of them went to hunt down the Flying Drought Fish, originally with the strength of the three of them, it was not very difficult to destroy it, but when they were about to give the Flying Drought Fish a fatal blow, a force fell from the sky and blocked their attack.

A masked man wearing a black robe and cloak appeared in front of the three of them, the man was holding a black staff, and the staff was inlaid with a black bead, and the bead flowed with a vicious and disgusting aura throughout his body, causing Lu Ming, who was a sword embryo, to have a strong killing intent.

The man noticed the change in Lu Ming's mentality, only glanced at him indifferently, and gently turned the staff with his hand, and saw a cloud of black light burst out of the staff and attacked Lu Ming, Lu Ming was caught off guard by this black light, and was instantly shrouded in it, unable to move, and in an instant, Lu Ming's eyes lost concentration, becoming like a wooden man, at a critical moment, a sword shadow flew out from Lu Ming's spiritual platform, and drank, "Who dares to take my disciple's soul?" ”

The light flashed, and the black light that shrouded Lu Ming's body also dissolved without a trace, he woke up from that state of distraction, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, the short moment he experienced just now was definitely his most dangerous moment, if it wasn't for his master's action, I'm afraid he would have become the man in black at this time.

The two of them hurriedly said to him, "Are you okay?" What just happened? ”

Lu Ming exhaled turbid air and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was almost taken away from my soul and turned into a puppet." ”

The two of them were very frightened, they could be so strong as the man in black that they couldn't even stop Lu Ming, who was pregnant with an immortal sword embryo, you know, the sword cultivator, or the sword cultivator with the immortal sword embryo, their minds are the strongest group of monks, and if they want to take their souls, unless they are strongly suppressed by cultivation, and they are also very likely to be attacked by the sword embryo protector, they didn't think that the other party would have quietly blocked all of Lu Ming's perceptions, if it weren't for the divine consciousness left by his master, he sensed it and helped, I'm afraid that he is no longer Lu Ming at this moment.

The three of them all looked at the sword shadow in the distance and the killing of the man in black with complicated expressions, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it seems that they are still not strong enough! Otherwise, how could it be so devastating.

On the other side, the sword shadow turned into a huge virtual sword and slashed towards the man in black, the man in black looked at the sword on his head, and finally had some expression, he looked at the top with interest, and said softly, "Is this the strength of Jian Jiuxiao now?" ”

With that, he raised the black staff in his hand high, forming a black barrier above the sky, and the sword shadow slashed at the barrier, creating a huge fluctuation, and then both disappeared without a trace.

The man in black looked back at Lu Ming and said, "Go back and tell Jian Jiuxiao to wash his neck and wait for me." ”

After speaking, he walked into the void with the flying drought, and he didn't know where to go.

The two of them looked at the man in black who came suddenly and left suddenly, and he said to Lu Ming with a wry smile, "The predecessor of Jian Jiuxiao is really a countless enemy!" There is an illusion in front of him, and there is this man in black who doesn't know his origin. ”

Shui Linglong asked, "Can you probably guess who it is?" ”

Lu Ming said, "I've never heard Master mention anyone who would use a black staff. ”

Lie Yankong also said, "Although there are a lot of monks in the Imperial Palace, and they contain ten thousand Dao, I have never heard of anyone whose cultivation avenue is so vicious. If you think about it, I'm afraid it's someone from the line of the national teacher. ”

Shui Linglong said, "I didn't expect a small Hongquan Village to attract people from the national teacher." ”

Blaze replied, "I'm afraid it's more than that. There are people with national teachers interfering here, do you think the people in the Imperial Palace will have no action? ”

Shui Linglong asked puzzled, "What does Senior Brother Lie mean?" ”

"I think that the Flying Drought is just an introduction, and the people of the two major forces have already reached some kind of agreement or contest, but the Emperor Pole Hall has not obviously sent his subordinates to appear here, and even, we are only guessing about the identity of the man in black, and we don't know which side he belongs to. But there is no doubt that on the bright side, all the immortal cultivation forces are under the control of the Huangji Palace, and the Huangquan Sect has nothing to do about this matter, it can only be out of the instructions of the above, since the Huangji Palace has made a move, do you think the national teacher will not make a move? Now that the man in black has taken the drought away again, then if the man in black really belongs to the national teacher, they probably don't know that the Huangquan Sect involved in this matter actually belongs to the two forces. ”

Shui Linglong looked at him as if she was meeting Lie Yankong for the first time, and asked with novelty, "How could Senior Brother Lie know so much?" ”

Lie Yan smiled helplessly, "If you are like me, you have to plan since you were a child, and you can know these plans. ”

Lu Ming asked beside him, "But why are you telling us this?" ”

Yes, although they are friends of life and death, they haven't talked much about similar things in the time they have been together in the past.

Shui Linglong also looked at Lie Yankong with a questioning face, waiting for his explanation or reason.

Lie Yan said with a smile, "You have also seen that our strength may still be able to see the past, but for those big people and big forces, we still don't have enough to see, and I don't want to be the chess piece that is manipulated by them. So, I want to cooperate with you, which can also be called an alliance. ”

Shui Linglong didn't expect to hear this, she asked a little tentatively, "Do you believe us like that?" ”

Lie Yankong also smiled a little helplessly, "It's not a secret, I'm not the core disciples in the Huoyang Sect, let alone the sect son who can inherit the suzerain's throne, I have ambition and talent, what I lack is only timing and luck and help, but this trip, my luck has appeared, the guidance of that senior has extraordinary significance for me, maybe it can make me walk out of a different avenue of fire, and now I have met you, you are a help for me, or a help with the same strength in the future, If we refer to each other, we can all stand higher and farther in the sect and have an extraordinary position. ”

Shui Linglong was silent, she was the same as Lie Yankong, she was not the heir of the sect, she could only be regarded as a Dharma Protector Elder in the future, but she also got the guidance of that Taoist, and her avenue would have more possibilities from now on, in this case, what could not be done!

Yes, she was tempted, really tempted.

Among the three of them, the only one who didn't have any feelings was probably Lu Ming.

He is in the Great Sword Castle Mountain, he is the one with the best talent, even if he does not fight, the future of the Great Sword Castle Peak will be handed over to him, this is a silent fact in the Great Sword Castle Mountain, he has no feeling for Lie Yankong's proposal, and all he wants is the way of the sword, whether he is in power in the end or not, he will be the sharpest sword of the Great Sword Castle Mountain.

Lie Yankong and the two had reached a silent tacit understanding, and they all looked at Lu Ming, how could Lu Ming not understand what they meant, and said after a pause, "I don't fight anything." But as long as what you do does not harm my teacher and morality, I can help. ”

This is a bright attitude, his indisputable nothing, it means that he doesn't need to seek anything, but he can help them when they need it, which is a worthless deal for Shui Linglong and them.

The trio reached an agreement on this, which also deepened their previous relationship. They don't know how much influence their simple alliance will have later on.

Since then, they have parted ways, returning to their sects, and leaving tokens and ways to communicate with each other before leaving, so that everyone can communicate with each other.

On the other side, after the man in black took the drought away, he entered a mansion, and then walked to a pool of water in the back garden as if he was in a no-man's land, pinched the trick with both hands, and formed a rune mark in his hand.

It turns out that it is a boundary within a boundary.

The man in black jumped, and after all his figures were hidden, the pool of water covered the passage again, which can be described as well-intentioned. The realm in the realm is a kind of enchantment, which is equivalent to opening a passage in the existing world to reach another small world arranged in advance, and this small world will not change because the outside passage is destroyed or not, which is an advanced use of enchantment. To have such a means, in addition to being able to open up a small world, it is also necessary to have extremely advanced research on the art of enchantment and the art of space.

There were no lights in the passageway, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with glowing stones, and by their illumination, the road that should have been invisible became clear.

After walking for some distance, he finally reached the place where he had been. No one would have thought that there was a cave in the passage under the lake, and below it was a high, wide and empty square, or a cave, which had its own boundary. In the center of the square is a small lake, in the center of the lake there is a huge circular stone platform, in the south, south, northwest and four directions are erected a stone pillar, the stone pillar is carved with the image of four strange beasts that have not been seen before, the circular stone platform forms an arching trend, can also be said to be a suppressive trend.

There are long stone steps directly above the stone platform, the stone steps are made of the glowing stone in the outer passage, there is no light at first, and after the black-clothed man salutes and greets, those stone steps are lit up layer by layer, on the stone steps, there is a wordless stone stele, the stone stele is hundreds of feet high, the whole body is luminous but not dazzling, it is still a little transparent, there is a figure not long in it, and a man's vicissitudes of life came from inside, saying, "The thing can be done?" ”

The man in black bowed his head and pleaded, "My subordinates are incompetent, so I only bring the drought fish back." The illusion is nowhere to be found. ”

The figure in the stele said angrily and joylessly, "It's okay." Originally, the cooperation with the phantom demon was to gather and disperse, but I am afraid that he has always been on guard against me, so let him go. ”

The man in black had something to say, but he didn't know how to speak, and the figure said, "Long night, if you have something to say, you know, I never like people to spit out." ”

"The subordinates are just puzzled, this plot, we have gained nothing, we have introduced the Taoist into the sphere of influence of the Huangquan Sect, and we wanted to use his hand to get rid of the Huangquan Sect, but the power of the Huangquan Sect has not been pulled out, and the phantom demon has also lost its trace, why does the lord not care so much?"

The figure said, "Originally, that person's actions were not something that ordinary people could guess, what he wanted to do, he always did as he pleased, and it was not surprising that he would not destroy the Huangquan Sect." Illusory clowns like jumping beams, if they escape, they will escape, and it will be harmless. ”

At the end, he smiled incomprehensibly, "As for the harvest, who said we really got nothing?" Not long ago, the spies of the Imperial Palace came to report that the Pope had received a jade slip from the Taoist, and from this point of view, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is only afraid that there is something worth pondering. What's more, don't we also know that he has taken in a disciple? ”

Long Ye hurriedly asked, "Is there anything special about that child?" ”

The figure said, "I can't see anything from the image you sent back, I guess I can be accepted as an apprentice by the Lindao people, there is still something extraordinary!" ”

"Do you want me to send someone to investigate and oversee it?"

The figure said lightly, "Forget it." No matter how capable he is, he is just a child, even if he is talented, he will have time to grow, and when he grows up, I don't know how much time it will take, and in this time, there are too many factors for premature death. ”

After a pause, he added, "In contrast, I'm more concerned about why the Lindao people want to accept apprentices. ”

The man in black didn't understand what he meant, and the stone tablet figure continued, "Long Night, how long do you think that Lindao man can live?" ”

The figure of the black-clothed man who was called for a long night was shocked, his pupils changed, and he said in disbelief, "Does the Lord mean that the Daoist is going to respond to the catastrophe of the five decays of heaven and man?" ”

The stele figure sighed, "If what I think is correct, his deadline is not far off. ”

Chang Ye said, "His aura and vitality are obviously still very strong, how can he be about to turn into a catastrophe so soon?" ”

"He should have taken that step that none of us dared to take."

What the last step was, Long Night knew it.

In the world of cultivators, the realm of cultivation is divided into fifteen realms, and the first ten realms are the realm of ordinary cultivators.

The eleventh realm is the realm of hearing the Tao, the twelfth realm is the realm of the body and the unity of humanity, the thirteenth realm is the realm of the Tao that leads to heaven and harmony, and the fourteenth realm is the realm of the human path on the road.

Legend has it that on top of the practice, there are also the fifteen realms of legend - Flying Wonderland. But no one has ever cultivated it, and the saying of the fifteen realms is only passed on by word of mouth among the powerhouses of the thirteen realms in the world, and it only exists in ancient legends. How to fix it, but no one knows.

But everyone knows that once they start to cross the fifteenth, but they don't find a suitable way to become a real fifteenth realm powerhouse, it is a half-step fifteenth, and they will become pseudo-immortals, even if their strength is very strong, they will still begin to respond to the catastrophe of the five decays of heaven and man.

"Your strength is not as good as that of the Lindao people, but he can't even see through your uncovered technique, which means that his five decays of heaven and man have come, so that the power of his five senses is no longer as strong as before, otherwise, do you think that with your uncovered technique and the covering clothes I gave you, you can completely escape his perception?"

Long Night hurriedly said, "Then what should we do next?" ”

The figure said lightly, "Wait! ”

What are you waiting for?

It may be a person or an event that has to wait, but in the end, it is time.

The figure said again, "Next, you can continue to refine the drought fish here, she is still useful." You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Long Night nodded yes, and the figure vanished, and then the entire underground plaza began to dim, as if it had never been lit up.

After Lu Ming and the three of them returned to the sect, they began to practice in retreat, and Changlin City also began to regain its vitality with the help of the people sent by the national teacher.

Such a result just confirmed that Lie Yankong's conjecture was probably correct, but when it came to the details, I was afraid that it was still on the body of the former Taishang Elder of the Huangquan Sect.

Everything here seems to have changed, but what happened in Hongquan Mountain tells people that everything has changed.

There is one less mountain, one less village, a different mountain god, and not a single child is missing.

still responds to that sentence, whenever there is a change of power and forces are tilting against each other, only the people suffer. If these forces are still cultivators who have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, the life and death of ordinary people like ants in their eyes will be even less important.
