Tong Lin City, Tong Lin Palace.

"Elder, is the news true?" The Great Elder of Tonglin Hall asked an old man beside him with white hair.

"Well, it should be true, the Peerless Palace has already sent someone to take a look, and we will also send someone to take a look." The old man with white hair said calmly.

"Well, I've already ordered the four elders to go, and who will the other two Heavenly Tribulations be?" The Great Elder of Tonglin Hall was a little curious.

"There are a total of three places where the Heavenly Tribulation occurred this time, one of which is the Hall Master Tribulation, and the one in the southwest should be the Peerless Palace." The old man continued to speak calmly, but at the same time his wrinkled hands gripped the railing lightly and looked far to the southwest.

"Peerless Palace? They even chose to survive the catastrophe in about the same time, but they didn't know if they succeeded. The Great Elder of Tonglin Hall was slightly surprised, but then he was quickly relieved.

The Peerless Palace got a copy of the essence of saliva at the previous auction, and it is basically known to everyone. After that, he was almost killed in the ambush of the Ghost Fire Sect and others, and now that the peerless palace master has subdued the spiritual saliva essence and caused the heavenly tribulation, he must not want to dream more at night.

"Most of the time it was a success. After all, the Peerless Palace is a two-man existence that can be called a double hero with my Tonglin Palace, and it has a profound heritage. The soul treasure that they exposed under the ambush of the Ghost Fire Sect alone was not something that ordinary factions could come up with. ”

"Elder, how is the hall master recovering now?" The Great Elder asked with concern.

"It's still recovering, although the hall master has successfully survived, but he is also seriously injured, even if there is a spiritual saliva essence to repair the dark wounds in the body, but the damage caused by the heavenly calamity is still too heavy, it will take at least a month, so in this month's time, I should not be too arrogant in the hall." The old man with white hair was a little dignified this time.

The old man is the elder of the Tonglin Palace, he was the only soul realm powerhouse in the Tonglin Hall before, this time the master of the Tonglin Hall is responsible for guarding it, the master of the Tonglin Hall can successfully survive the catastrophe and enter the soul realm, the elder Taishang has contributed a lot, especially the last catastrophe, the original Tonglin Hall Lord was unable to resist, it was the Elder Taishang who took the initiative to meet and bear the part, which made the Tonglin Hall Lord difficult to overcome.

"That's why the Elder stopped the Second Elder from conducting a large-scale investigation in Blackwater City." The Great Elder of Tonglin Hall said thoughtfully.

"Well, that's one thing, on the other hand, they're closest to the place where the Third Tribulation happened, and it's best for them to check it out." Elder Taishang continued.

"The elder is right, but I don't know if the man who crossed the tribulation succeeded, and who he really was." The Great Elder of Tonglin Hall chimed in on the side.

"Regardless of whether the other party succeeds or not, we will definitely know who he is within half a year, and this kind of thing will not be long in coming." Elder Taishang turned his head to look at the east, and there was a domineering expression in his expression.

"The most important thing for us now is to determine whether the Ghost Fire Sect has really obtained a piece of the essence of spiritual saliva and formed an alliance with the Mixed Yuan Palace, and the rest is secondary." Elder Taishang turned his head back to the Great Elder and said, his expression becoming serious at the same time.

"If they really form an alliance, it won't be a good thing for us in Tonglin Palace." The Great Elder looked worried.

Although the Ghost Fire Sect is not the power of their Longnan County, it is the overlord of Liaoshui County next door, and the old sect master of the other party successfully entered the soul realm half a year ago, and now there is news that the Ghost Fire Sect has also bid for a piece of the essence of the soul, so it is very likely that the Ghost Fire Sect will also have two soul realm powerhouses, comparable to their Tonglin Palace.

Of course, what worries them the most is that the Ghost Fire Sect and the Mixed Yuan Palace are allied, you must know that the Mixed Yuan Palace is the top three major forces in the Yongyan Mansion, there are three soul realm powerhouses in the sect, and they have always been domineering, and their favorite thing to do is to expand their power outward, if they really form an alliance with the Ghost Fire Sect, it will definitely cause huge pressure on their Tonglin Palace, which is not what they want to see.

"In a week, I will personally go to the Peerless Palace to discuss the alliance, and then the palace will be in charge of you."

After speaking, the old man left the main hall, and the great elder of the Tonglin Hall who was standing in place breathed a sigh of relief.

If they form an alliance with the Peerless Palace, they don't have to worry about the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Mixed Yuan Palace, and the matter can be resolved. The two factions together have four soul realm powerhouses, which must be stronger than the alliance between the Ghost Fire Sect and the Mixed Yuan Palace, and the Mixed Yuan Palace can only send one soul realm powerhouse at most, after all, they have other forces to fight against in the Yongyan Mansion.

The next morning, Shi Jiu came to a teahouse to drink tea, planning to finish drinking tea before setting off for the ruins of Blackwater City.

"Have you heard, there is a heavenly tribulation in a valley two thousand miles south of our Blackwater City, and I don't know who is there to survive the tribulation." In the teahouse, many people are discussing.

"I heard about it, and all the major factions sent people to check last night, and it is estimated that there will be news in the next few days."

"So who are you going to be there, and have you succeeded?" Someone in the teahouse asked.

"It's hard to say, but everyone is rumoring that the person who crossed the tribulation must have won some kind of treasure at the previous Tonglin City auction, so he dared to have the confidence to trigger the heavenly tribulation."

"Well, that's probably the case, but I heard that even if you have a treasure to protect you, it is still very difficult to survive the catastrophe, and it is very likely that you will be crushed in the end, of course, if you can succeed, you will be a soul realm powerhouse, and you will become the top person in my Longnan County."

"That's right, the dream of many monks who are strong in the soul realm is beyond the reach of us people. By the way, I've heard that in addition to the place I just mentioned, there are two other places where the Apocalypse has also occurred. ”

"What? Two other places where the Apocalypse also occurred? Oh my God, this hasn't happened in previous years! Someone sighed.

"I'm not surprised, these people who caused the Heavenly Tribulation must have won the final treasure at the previous auction, so they dared to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation." Someone else said.

"By the way, I also heard about a big thing, no worse than those robbers." At this time, someone spoke.

"Oh? What's up? ”

"I heard from the grapevine that the Ghost Fire Sect is going to form an alliance with the Mixed Yuan Palace, and they are going to challenge the status of the Tong Lin Hall and the Peerless Palace in the surrounding counties."

"Really? If it's true, it's a big deal! Tonglin Hall and Peerless Palace are overlords here, are they going to overturn? ”

"I've heard of the Ghost Fire Sect, it has always been domineering, and their old sect master successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation and entered the Soul Realm a while ago, and why haven't I heard of that Mixed Yuan Palace?" Someone speaks out the doubts in their hearts.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because the Mixed Yuan Palace is not a force on our side, they are the top three major forces in Yongyan Mansion, and there are several soul realm powerhouses in the sect, which are much stronger than Tonglin Hall and Peerless Palace." Someone explained.

"It turned out to be the power of Yongyan Mansion, no wonder." Someone was stunned.

"However, if they really form an alliance, it will not be a good thing for our forces in Longnan County."

"Whether it's a good thing or not, it doesn't matter to those of us, come, let's continue to drink tea."

……

"Ghost Fire Sect, Mixed Yuan Palace, alliance?" The tea that Shi Jiu had already raised to his lips did not drink it immediately, but rubbed it back and forth in his hand.

Ghost Fire Sect, he has seen it, he is used to being arrogant, he dares to ambush the people of the Peerless Palace in Tonglin City, and he does have arrogant capital, and the Mixed Yuan Palace is the first time he has heard of it, but from the discussion of the people at the adjacent table, he also probably knows the origin, the top three major forces in Yongyan Mansion, if they can really drink the Ghost Fire Sect to form an alliance, they can indeed challenge the hegemony of Tonglin Hall and the Peerless Palace.

"But it has nothing to do with me, it's the other two people who caused the catastrophe that make me curious. Well, most of it should be the Peerless Palace and the Tonglin Palace, so it seems that there will be two soul realm powerhouses in these two factions, which should be able to offset some of the effects of the alliance of the Ghost Fire Sect. Shi Jiu thought of something and had some guesses.

After drinking tea, Shi Jiu walked out of the teahouse, and then went straight to the ruins of Blackwater City.

The distance was not far, and an hour later, Shi Jiu came to the destination of this time, the ruins of Blackwater City.

And the first impression of the ruins of Blackwater City on Shi Jiu was that it was ruined and broken, barren and desolate.

There is not a single decent house in the ruins of Blackwater City today, only the broken wall and stones remain, but there are still many people rummaging through here.

Shi Jiu didn't stay, he went directly to the entrance of the underground labyrinth, intending to go underground to have a look, where there were still many ruins.

A few minutes later, Shi Jiu entered the underground labyrinth.

The main hall still exists, but it has been damaged a lot, and only a few large stone pillars are still intact.

Shi Jiu came here this time, firstly, to visit, if he could find treasures, it would be the best, and secondly, to see the former mountain protection array here, which was also the biggest purpose of his trip.

It's just a pity that the surface part is completely invisible, so Shi Jiu hopes to see one or two in this underground part.

After carefully inspecting the entire underground palace and living quarters, Shi Jiu was a little disappointed, the formation here had long since disappeared, and the traces of the arrangement had also been wiped out.

"I can only go to the martial arts arena to see."

Shi Jiu had also heard about what happened in the martial arts arena a few days ago, and what interested him was the protective formation triggered by Zhao Dafa.

It didn't take long for Shi Jiu to come to the martial arts arena of the underground labyrinth, and there were already many people gathered here, and a large part of them were beside the elder seat of Zhao Dafa's departure organ at that time, conducting various explorations.

Shi Jiu didn't go over immediately, but came to the side of the martial arts arena, and then watched carefully around the martial arts arena. Soon, Shi Jiu found some traces.

Below the four corners of the arena, there were some scorched marks, and there was a lot of residue underneath.

Shi Jiu's index finger is dipped in a little, and then the thumb grinds it carefully.

"The residue of Jingyuan, the diamond rock ......" Shi Jiu's heart silently sounded one name after another, "It's a pity, I still can't see how it is arranged." ”

Finally, Shi Jiu came to the elder's seat in front of him and watched the trigger pattern below.

The circular imprint has been very vague, after being triggered by Zhao Dafa, this imprint that has existed for thousands of years has dissipated a lot again, plus it has been touched by many people who have come to hunt for treasure in the past few days, the circular imprint has almost been smoothed out, and the pattern in the middle has disappeared, leaving only a circle of traces on the periphery.

Shi Jiu was a little disappointed, the purpose of this trip could not be achieved, but fortunately, the first two days were very fruitful, and his heart was much more comfortable.

All in all, this trip to Blackwater City is worth the trip, and the treasures left by Zhao Dafa can be obtained, which is even more valuable.

After getting out of the underground labyrinth, Shi Jiu didn't stay any longer and walked towards Blackwater City to the south again.
