Yu County.

Anyu County.

Between the rugged hills, you can see rows of collapsed earthen houses and buildings, as if they had just experienced a disaster.

Not long ago, a ground disaster occurred in the Huanglin Mountains in the north, affecting hundreds of miles of territory, but although the people of this world are not accustomed to various disasters, they all have their own countermeasures, or repair houses, or transport resources, which is quite orderly.

Looking further away, I saw that among these scattered villages, there were also some people from the Demon Slaying Division and the Supervision Department patrolling, on the one hand, to maintain order, and on the other hand, to control all kinds of monsters that were rioting due to land disasters.

Distance.

The Huanglin Mountains, which are about 100 miles apart, are very lively at this time.

Ground disasters are also a unique type of disaster, and when they occur, they are accompanied by cracks in the earth, collapse of mountain peaks, and the emergence of various resources.

The Huanglin Mountain Range with a radius of nearly 100 miles is not small, and through the outbreak of the land disaster, the monsters hiding in this mountain range and underground are now also in chaos, some are running around in the mountains, and some are tyrannical out of the mountains and attacking villages.

It is located somewhere on the outskirts of the Huanglin Mountains.

"Roar!"

I saw a monster roaring viciously, it was a third-order white wolf demon, at this time it was like a madness, and there were faint traces of blood on its body, and it suddenly pounced forward, accompanied by a vicious wind, attacking a figure in front of it.

The figure was wearing the costume of the white guard of the Demon Slayer Division, with a somewhat curved chest and a slender waist, she was a young woman, but her appearance was quite delicate, and she did not match the temperament of the white clothes on her body.

Laugh at.

Seeing the white wolf demon attacking, the girl was not afraid, and the whole person stood on the ground, striking with a sword.

But seeing that she was like a beautiful mountain, connected to the earth without wavering, the sword light in her hand was pouring like flowing water, and the two sword potentials of Kanshui and Genshan were overlapping with each other.

Swish!!

With a flash of blood.

There was another deep blood mark on the neck of the white wolf demon, accompanied by a large amount of blood spraying out, and the huge body fell heavily on one side, and after struggling a few times, it finally reached the limit, and it was difficult to get up again.

At this time.

In the distance, several Tsing Yi guards hurriedly came, watching this scene, and they all complimented the girl.

"Lord Chen's swordsmanship is superb, and even the White Wolf Demon is not Lord Chen's opponent."

"The adults are extremely talented, and I think they are the inner disciples of those big sects, and they are not as good as the adults."

The Tsing Yi guards looked at the girl with awe in their eyes.

It's just that this awe, half of it comes from the girl's own talent and strength, and the other half comes from her background identity, although her name is not loud, but in today's Yu County, it is also a rare unheard of person.

Chen Yue!

Seven Xuanzong Lingxuanfeng Protector, the twenty-seventh place on the Hanbei Billboard, the only sister of Chen Mu of the 'Qiankun Knife'.

In today's Yu County, it can be said that in addition to the several major sects stationed in the city, anyone who sees Chen Yue must be polite and give three points, even if it is the city lord Xue Huaikong, he must show favor to Chen Yue.

"Rapid processing."

Chen Yue put the sword in his hand into the scabbard and spoke in a calm tone.

Compared with more than two years ago, when Chen Mu left Yu County, Chen Yue now seems to have grown a lot, and his cultivation of the body quenching method has also reached the perfection of Yi Jin, and he is not far from forging bones, and he also holds two kinds of sword posture and multiple sword techniques.

Although her appearance is still a girl, there is a little less greenness between her eyebrows, and a little more calmness in dealing with things, quite a bit of Xu Hongyu's shadow back then, but her appearance is not as cold as Xu Hongyu.

"Yes."

Several Tsing Yi guards quickly came over to assist Chen Yue in disposing of the white wolf demon corpse.

Ground disasters are often the most violent in the 'local' range, but the reality is that the demon damage caused by land disasters is much smaller than some other disasters.

The reason is also very simple, because land disasters are often centered on a mountain range or somewhere, once they occur, because there will be resources, so they will immediately attract strong people from all directions, slaughtering all kinds of monsters along the way.

Just like now.

There are already many bone forging realms and even five visceral realms in the Huanglin Mountain Range, and in the search for resources, monsters are basically suppressed in minutes, and white-clothed guards like Chen Yue lead a group of people to only operate on the periphery of the mountain range and hunt monsters.

The white wolf demon just now was already the most powerful monster she had encountered in the past half a day, but it was not her opponent.

"My lord, there's a crack in the ground ahead!"

And just as Chen Yue was disposing of the corpse of the white wolf demon, a Tsing Yi guard who suddenly jumped up to the treetops and observed the surrounding situation asked Chen Yue.

Chen Yue was finishing the most important part at this time, and when he heard Tsing Yiwei's report, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said:

"Let's take a look."

The Huanglin Mountains have a land disaster, the more to the center, the more violent the destruction and destruction, and even the mountain peaks collapse and break, but in the peripheral areas, there will also be ground fissures formed because of the turbulence of the leylines, and there may be some treasures below.

With Chen Yue's identity, in fact, she can't look down on ordinary treasures, and they are nothing to her, including what white-clothed guards and what demon hunting, she doesn't want to do it and no one can force her, but she has experienced Chen Mu's guidance and teaching all year round in the past, and she also knows very well that martial arts need to be sharpened.

Although she has always been covered by Chen Mu's light, she also has her own little caution, she has practiced martial arts in the Yu family for many years, at first to be self-reliant, not to cause trouble to Chen Mu, to take care of herself, and later to improve herself.

Therefore.

After stepping into Yijin, she also walked in Yujun like the inner disciples of various sects.

She has also competed with the disciples of the sect, and has also encountered some thrills, although she is almost twenty-three years old this year, but the realm of Yi Jin's perfection and sword skills and sword momentum are not simply cultivated in the greenhouse.

Soon.

Chen Yue and several Tsing Yi guards came to the place where the ground crack was.

I saw this crack in the ground, about ten zhang long and about three feet wide, enough to accommodate people to enter and explore.

"My lord, the situation below is unknown, and I will allow you to go down and investigate."

A Tsing Yi guard said respectfully.

"Subordinates can do it too."

Someone else took the initiative to ask for help.

There may be treasures under this kind of ground crack, but there may also be dangerous monsters, not to mention whether they will suddenly collapse and bury people underneath, although they go down to investigate, if there are treasures, they will definitely get some rewards, but if they follow an ordinary white-clothed guard, then most likely there will not be so many people taking the initiative.

The person who followed was Chen Yue, it was different, although Chen Yue was now a white-clothed guard, but everyone knew that Chen Yue's status was high, that is, Meng Tianzhang, the master of the Demon Slaying Division, and he was very kind and polite when he saw her, if he could get Chen Yue's appreciation and support, it would almost be an opportunity to rise to the top, not to mention, if he could get Chen Yue's favor......

The brother-in-law of the master of the billboard?

What kind of status identity is that.

The entire Yu County didn't know how many young people wanted to be courteous in front of Chen Yue.

It's just that Chen Yue's style of acting outside is very similar to Xu Hongyu's back then, and he also treats people coldly, although he is not as arrogant as many sect disciples, but he has never looked at anyone differently.

"There you go."

Chen Yue's gaze swept over several people and chose one person.

Walking the rivers and lakes to practice, not to take the initiative to deliberately take risks, this kind of exploration of the ground crack, she naturally will not rush down, someone next to her takes the initiative to ask for Ying, it is better.

The Tsing Yi Wei who got Chen Yue's permission suddenly took a deep breath, his expression first perked, and then he remained calm and solemn, and went deeper and deeper along the pitch-black ground crack, and soon the whole person disappeared.

Chen Yue and others waited nearby.

However.

As time passed, no one returned.

“……”

Chen Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the crack, while several other Tsing Yi guards looked at each other at this time, and no one took the initiative to ask Ying to go down and have a look.

It's okay to take the initiative in front of Chen Yue, but if it involves an unknown risk that threatens life, then forget it.

But.

Just when Chen Yue stared at the ground crack and pondered, wondering whether to explore further, or record this location first, go back and report it to Xu Hongyu, and hand it over to a higher-level figure to deal with.

There was a gradual movement in the crack, like a panting voice.

"Wu Yuan?"

Chen Yue was the first to notice the movement, so he spoke to the depths of the ground rift.

“…… Be. ”

The voice of the Tsing Yi guard came back from the crack, as if he was panting, but it didn't seem to be life-threatening.

Seeing this, the nearby Tsing Yi Wei immediately relaxed some nervous expressions.

"Why haven't you come up yet, what are you doing down there?"

"Wu Yuan, you kid, hurry up, what's going on down there."

Several Tsing Yi guards urged beside the crack.

Soon.

I saw that there was a change in the crack, but the first to come out of it was not Tsing Yi Wei Wu Yuan, but a piece of mineral material that looked very heavy, about a foot square, and the whole body showed a dark color.

"Quick...... Take ......"

Wu Yuan's panting voice came from below.

The Tsing Yi guards on the ground crack had already reacted, and they all took hands and moved the black stone up, and then they each showed a surprised look and looked at the mineral material with different eyes.

"Could this be the Black Yao Mine?"

"Well, it's Heiyao Mine, it should still be a high-grade mine, and it can forge treasure weapons."

Someone looked at it carefully and said in a deep voice.

Even Chen Yue was slightly surprised, she was not very familiar with various resources, but the mineral materials that could forge treasures were undoubtedly a very precious type, and their value was unusual.

"That's all down there?"

Chen Yue asked at Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan replied with a smile on his face, panting and answering: "Yes, a lot, but this piece is the best quality, I will move it directly, there are many average quality ones below, at least hundreds of thousands of catties, we don't have enough manpower." ”

When the others heard this, their expressions changed, and their eyes showed a little joy.

Although the average quality of the Black Yao Mine is not enough to forge treasures, it can also produce a hundred refined steel, with a weight of hundreds of thousands of catties, which is also a small vein, and after they go back, they will definitely get a lot of rewards.

But at this moment.

A discordant voice suddenly came from behind.

"Hey, there are hundreds of thousands of catties of Heiyao Mine here, it's a coincidence."

A group of figures dressed in the same costume, yellow linen and white short-sleeved robes, emerged from the bushes behind, with special marks embroidered on their chests, about five or six of them.

Seeing this group of people appear, all the Tsing Yi guards suddenly changed their faces.

"Heavenly Seal Sect!"

Someone whispered.

Today's Yu County, with the Seven Xuanzong is the most powerful, followed by the four major sects such as Heavenly Sword Xuanji and Blood Hidden Hehuan, but in addition to the four sects, there are also other sects that have developed in, and the Heavenly Seal Sect is one of them.

Tianyin Sect and Linjiang Pavilion, these two major sects occupy half of 'Liangzhou' respectively, and they also belong to one of the major sects of Hanbei Dao, although they are slightly inferior to Qixuan and Tianjian, the gap is not very big.

At a glance, people who came knew that the leader was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Seal Sect, and the rest were all outer disciples.

Then.

Chen Yue, who had been observing the earth crack, stood up and looked at the disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect behind him, but there was no fear on his face, and he only said in a cold tone: "This vein was discovered by the Demon Slayer Division first, and according to the rules, it already belongs to the Demon Slaying Division, is your Heavenly Seal Sect planning to take it by force?" ”

Nie Yi, the inner disciple led by the Heavenly Seal Sect, was immediately surprised when he saw Chen Yue, glanced at Chen Yue up and down, and said with a smile: "Is there such a beauty in the white-clothed guard of the Demon Slayer Division?" I don't think this official uniform matches you, so it's better to look better in the skirt that a woman should wear. ”

"Presumptuous!"

"Ann dare to be rude!"

As soon as he heard Nie Yi's rude words to Chen Yue, Wu Yuan and the other Tsing Yi guards immediately reprimanded.

As the inner sect of the Heavenly Seal Sect, if they were to insult them with words, then they probably wouldn't dare to respond, but if the words were rude to Chen Yue's head, then they naturally still had the courage to scold Chen Yue back, after all, Chen Yue was not an ordinary white-clothed guard.

When Nie Yi saw this situation, he looked at Chen Yue again, and vaguely guessed something, but he was not afraid for a while, and only smiled and said: "If my guess is right, you should be the sister of the 'Qiankun Knife' of the Seven Xuanzong?" I have heard of your name and surname, and in that case, this obsidian vein will be divided between you and half, how about you? ”

Chen Mu's name is very big, but he Nie Yi is also an unusual person, the Nie family is the family of the Tianyin Sect, and the head of the family is the contemporary head of the Tianyin Sect, although he is not the descendant of the Nie family, a little remote, but he is not scared to retreat because of a name.

After all, Chen Yue is just Chen Yue, not Chen Mu himself.

"Heh, do some robber deeds, this is what your Heavenly Seal Sect claims to be doing righteously?"

Chen Yue looked at Nie Yi and responded coldly.

Nie Yi smiled and said, "What is a robber, didn't you just come here, you just found out that this is an obsidian mine, and it just so happens that we have just arrived, isn't it in line with the rules for half of the family?" ”

Speaking of this, he touched his chin again and said, "If Miss Yue is willing to marry our Heavenly Seal Sect and enter my door, this half of the Black Yao Ore Vein is not impossible to make a dowry." ”

As soon as I heard this.

Many of the Tsing Yi guards in the rear were all angry.

However, Chen Yue was very calm, but at this time, he glanced at Nie Yi and sneered: "I saw that you had your hair and were born feminine, and you thought you were a sister, but it turned out to be a man?" But it must be a soft sprout, I think you might as well cut it to hook up with a man, maybe there is still a chance. ”

"You ......"

Nie Yi didn't expect such vulgar and vicious words to come out of Chen Yue's mouth at once, his face turned blue for a while, and he was furious, and said, "Sharp teeth, let me see how capable you are of your brother!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he pounced towards Chen Yue, and made a fist mark with his bare hands, like a wolf.

Chen Yue's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and after confirming that Nie Yi was not in the Bone Forging Realm, he was not afraid at the moment, and he swung his sword to meet him, and the two immediately fought together, and the wolf and tiger fist mark and sword light intersected to kill.

After a short fight, Chen Yue knew that Nie Yi's strength was not below her, in the end, he was the inner disciple of the Great Sect, and she had also heard of the 'Cangtian Nine Seals' of the Heavenly Seal Sect, but her strength was not weak, and the two were roughly between them.

But.

At this time, she was calm enough, but Nie Yi's hand was wrapped in a little anger, this slight gap may not be anything to those who exist above the Five Visceral Realm, but at the level of the Yijin Realm, the subtle difference is also crucial.

Chen Mu taught her never to be easily provoked by her opponent, and in turn, she could try to provoke her opponent, she basically kept Chen Mu's instructions in mind, and the words just now were far from enough to make her angry.

Swish! Swish!!

Because Nie Yi made a move with anger, there was inevitably a slight messiness in the moves under the anger, which was not obvious at first, but as soon as more than ten moves passed, he was gradually suppressed by Chen Yue.

Nie Yi, who was aware of this, also realized that something was wrong, and calmed down and wanted to turn back the situation, but once a martial artist at this level fell into a disadvantage, it was easy to recover it, and Chen Yue would not give him this opportunity.

Distance.

Several outer disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect saw that Nie Yi was falling behind, and their faces also changed.

Nie Yi is at risk of losing, this situation is not good, Chen Yue on the opposite side is ruthless and does not hesitate, the key is that he is not an ordinary person, there is a famous master of the Fengyun List in the cold north is his own brother, and he is not afraid of killing Nie Yi between swords at all, there are already dead and injured in the rivers and lakes, not to mention that Nie Yi took the initiative to attack.

But if Nie Yi really accidentally died under Chen Yue's sword, Chen Yue would be able to have no fear with Chen Mu and the Seven Xuanzong on his back, and they, the outer disciples who followed, would have fallen into bad luck.

Finally.

Someone couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and tried to interfere.

But many of the Tsing Yi guards brought by Chen Yue's side were not eating dry rice when they saw this scene, and someone immediately stepped forward to stop them, and the two sides soon formed a scuffle, and the situation became more and more intense.

"Underestimate this woman."

Nie Yi was pressed by Chen Yue's sword light, and he also had a bad feeling in his heart.

He did hear of Chen Yue, but he didn't know about it, and today was the first time he encountered it, although he had already understood Chen Yue's swordsmanship at this time, it was the intersection of the two veins of Genshan and Kanshui, and he also had a way to deal with it, but because he shot angrily at the beginning, he was pressed down at this time, and he couldn't find a gap to change his moves.

Genshan is calm, the water is entangled, and if you can't get rid of it, you will only sink deeper and deeper.

Present.

Nie Yi's eyes flashed sharply, and suddenly a tiger mark pinched Chen Yue's left shoulder, but he used a style of play that did not hesitate to lose both, trying to force Chen Yue to retreat and find a gap.

But Chen Yue's eyes were cold, and in the face of his fierce counterattack, there was no change, he just waved his sword and continued to slash, completely ignoring the attack on his left shoulder, and he had to give him a fatal blow!

Broken!

Seeing that Chen Yue did not change his moves, Nie Yi's pupils contracted violently.

I didn't expect Chen Yue, a woman, to be so ruthless, this is not at the expense of him to abolish an arm, but also to fight to cut him off with a sword.

But until this moment, both of them were unable to change their moves, and even if Nie Yi accepted the move, he would not have time to dodge.

Finally.

The next moment, the attacks of the two arrived almost in equal order, but the effects were different.

First of all, Nie Yi's tiger mark clawed and tore at Chen Yue's shoulder, almost at the moment when it was about to touch her left shoulder, a faint white fluorescence suddenly appeared from her body, blocking Nie Yi's tiger mark at once, making him like a mountain and unable to advance an inch.

Meanwhile.

Chen Yue's sword also slashed at his side sharply, and the sword light tore through his clothes, revealing a delicate soft armor inside, the sword blade could not pierce into it, nor could it cut the tenacity of the soft armor.

However, Chen Yue's sword is not just a slash, it also contains the impact of flowing water, as well as the majestic mountain, the two sword forces converge into one, and through the soft armor, the power is vigorously punched into it.

Bang!

Nie Yi only felt that an impact rushed into his body through the soft armor, and he didn't know what was broken in his waist, he only felt that a sharp pain spread all over his body, and the whole person also flew out directly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Seeing that Nie Yi and Chen Yue were fighting against each other, the disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect and Tsing Yi Wei who were fighting fiercely in the field were all shocked, and immediately withdrew one after another, and some Tsing Yi Wei looked at Chen Yue nervously, but seeing that Chen Yue seemed to be unharmed, his heart was a little more relaxed.

The other side.

Several Heavenly Seal Sect disciples all landed beside Nie Yi, each showing a look of horror.

I saw Nie Yi's whole person fall to the ground, struggling to prop up his body, looking at his left waist, through the soft armor, a large area could be seen with bruises, and the internal pain was extremely severe.

"You ......"

Cold sweat broke out on his aching forehead, and he looked at Chen Yue's gaze with three points of anger, three points of horror, and three points of chagrin.

He expected that Chen Yue might be the same as him, with soft armor to protect himself, but he didn't expect that Chen Yue had something more clever than him, that faint fluorescence was definitely something like the Yuan Ling Jade Pendant, and even he was not qualified to get it, only his brother had one.

"Still not rolling?"

Chen Yue looked at Nie Yi and the others coldly.

Several disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect helped Nie Yi up, Nie Yi looked at Chen Yue with a pale face, and said:

"You...... Very good ......"

But just when a few disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect were about to support Nie Yi and retreat, suddenly there was a huge movement in the forest in the distance, and I don't know what happened, like pulling up a mountain and falling a tree, before I could see it clearly, the terrifying momentum made everyone's breathing stagnate.

When the behemoth broke through the ancient trees, it was a fourth-order giant demon bear, but this demon bear didn't pay attention to Chen Yue and the others at this time, and only fled in terror, as if there was something terrible behind him.

The momentum of the fourth-order monster was terrifying, causing everyone in the field to freeze in place for a while.

However.

Almost the next moment, the demon bear's movements came to an abrupt halt.

But seeing a middle-aged figure, the figure suddenly appeared in front of the demon bear, pinched a 'crane' seal in his hand, and pulled it down in the air, just like that, the head of the demon bear immediately shattered and collapsed, and the huge body shook and struggled weakly, and then fell to the side with a bang.

The middle-aged man landed calmly, and then looked at Chen Yue, Nie Yi and others not far away.

"Huh?"

Noticing Nie Yi's condition, he frowned slightly, and when he stepped down, he had already come to Nie Yi's side, stretched out his hand and pressed Nie Yi's waist, and his face immediately became gloomy.

Nie Yu set his eyes on Chen Yue and the others not far away, and after a cursory sweep, he fell on Chen Yue, and said coldly: "Baiyi Wei? Under the Seven Xuanzong Sect? The shot is so ruthless, the heart is too vicious. ”

The words fell.

The power of heaven and earth nearby seemed to be turbulent, and a cold aura seemed to penetrate the void, making Chen Yue and the others feel cold in their bodies.

Nie Yi is a junior he values very much, even if he can't become a true legend in the future, he is very likely to cross the forging bones and enter the Five Organs Realm, this serious injury has almost cut off Nie Yi's possibility of stepping into the Five Organs Realm in the future!

Under Nie Yu's coercion, not only Chen Yue and the others were suppressed in place and unable to move, but even the outer disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect were also trembling.

"Demon Slayer, Chen Yue, I've seen my predecessors."

Chen Yueqiang withstood Nie Yu's coercion and saluted Nie Yu.

There is no doubt that the person who came is an elder of the Tianyin Sect, and she doesn't know whether it is a deacon or a protector, but she knows very well that the bigger the sect, the more she follows the rules of the rivers and lakes, and this gift of descending juniors and reporting her identity basically blocked many of Nie Yu's excuses for trouble.

When to be proud and when to retreat, she is very clear.

Nie Yu frowned slightly: "Chen Yue? ”

He had also heard of this name, although he was not a disciple of the Seven Xuan Sect, but his identity was more tricky, after all, Chen Mu was now a master of the Billboard, and he was also a famous figure in the eleven states of the entire Hanbei Province.

If it is a character with no background, then even if he bullies the small, he will kill it with a slap, if it is an ordinary disciple of the Seven Xuanzong, he doesn't care about teaching a lesson or two, but Chen Yue is not a suitable object for messing around.

But after a short pause, Nie Yu still snorted coldly and said: "Vicious and ruthless, it seems that your brother has not taught you well, it is inevitable that you will embark on the evil path at a young age, so let's go to my Tianyin Sect to think about it!" ”

He is a dignified protector of the Heavenly Seal Sect, and he will not give in to Chen Mu's sister, and he will not have the face to pass it out, at least it must be Chen Mu in person, Chen Mu is not there, then detain Chen Yue and let Chen Mu go to the Heavenly Seal Sect to lead people afterwards!
