() When Nangong Tong asked Nangong Huai about Nangong Hui's harm to Xiao Tianhe, Nangong Huai was shocked: "That rebel only told me that he was going to retreat and practice in the lonely mountain, and said that he was accompanied by Chen Shufeng, so I believed it." I really didn't know he would do such a despicable thing!" looked like he was pretending.

After a moment of silence, Nangong Huai couldn't help but ask, "Then ...... What's wrong with my rebel?" Now that Xiao Tianhe and Nangong Xue have returned from injury, he can't imagine what kind of ending Nangong Hui will have.

"What else? Dead! With that Chen Shufeng!" Nangong Tong said angrily, "Even if you don't die, there is only one way to die if you murder a serious crime of the same clan is dealt with according to the clan rules! Ximenluo is an example." As a father, although you don't deliberately cover up, you also have the fault of conniving, and when the patriarch's punishment order falls, you have to accept it obediently!"

Nangong Huai couldn't help but burst into tears, nodded again and again, and muttered, "I know, I know ......"

Seeing that Nangong Huai was unbearable to lose his son, Nangong Tong couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Alas, if you are too spoiled on weekdays, it will eventually lead to bad consequences." In the future, you can do it yourself. By the way, Nangong Hui and Chen Shufeng were not killed by Xiao Tianhe and Nangong Xue, but a mysterious passer-by. You don't want to blame the two of them, only blame Nangong Hui's bad heart, and take the blame. ”

"I understand. With Chen Shufeng's strength, there must be a master to help Xiao Tianhe and Xiaoxue survive. Nangong Huai said, "I don't know...... Where is my son's body now?"

"Patriarch Yan only cared about bringing back the two injured people at that time, so he buried the two corpses hastily. You should go and look for it near the Lone Smoke Pass, and then come back to be punished after collecting Hui'er's body. ”

The Lonely Smoky Mountains have been blazing for many years, and after so many days, the corpse may have already decomposed. No matter how you say it, Nangong Hui is also Nangong Huai's favorite son, so he has to collect his body and return to his hometown and bury him in a coffin. However, when Nangong Huai found the stone grave erected by Nangong Yan a mile away from the mountain pass, the grave had already been opened. The pit was empty except for bloodstains.

Who dug up the grave and stole the corpse? What was the purpose of stealing the corpse? Nangong Huai immediately summoned Nangong Yan for verification and confirmed that the two stone tombs were indeed the places where he buried the corpse.

After getting the news of the disappearance of the corpse, Nangong Yan suddenly thought of the mysterious master who rescued Xiao Tianhe and Nangong Xue. "Could it be that person is coming for Nangong Hui and Chen Shufeng?" His heart, which had already been put down, began to become uneasy again, so he ordered to investigate the matter, but there were no clues, and there was no clue about it, so he had to give up for the time being.

......

During the cultivation period in the Nangong Yuan Courtyard, the angry Nangong Ting never came to visit Xiao Tianhe. Nangong Xue seems to be sad and has never appeared. Xiao Tianhe practiced the knife technique and body technique of the cave chapter every day, and was happy and quiet.

Since the end of the Beitang Family Demon Treasure Conference, the demon cultivators promoted by the four major families have been recuperating and recuperating for half a year, and they are all ready.

The first day of the Midsummer New Year is the fixed date of each Fengyun Conference.

According to the rules of the Demon Lord, on the day of the Hour, the participating children of the four major families must gather at the edge of the core of the mansion. The twelve elders of the Nangong family were all present to see off the nine promoted children.

Nangong Ting was finally willing to show up to see Xiao Tianhe, but he didn't talk to Xiao Tianhe along the way.

At three o'clock in the night, a group of people arrived at the border of the core of the Kunwu tribe. The mountains in the inner core are shrouded in clouds and mist, looming, even if there is a bright moon in the sky, it is still not real.

Nangong Rong, the lord of the Heavenly Sect, said to all the disciples: "The Fengyun Conference is under the control of the Demon Lord, and no one knows the specific methods and rules. I just want to remind you that competition is important, but life is even more precious. Then, he said to Xiao Tianhe alone: "Little brother Xiao, I wish you success!"

"Thank you, Master Rong. I have a question, how is it that no one knows the methods and rules of the Fengyun Conference? Isn't there anyone who has been eliminated in every previous conference?" Xiao Tianhe was puzzled.

"Absolutely. There are three outcomes of participating in the Fengyun Conference, either enter the core, or unfortunately die, or be eliminated. However, it is said that the content of each Fengyun Conference is different, and the demon lord has also issued a ban, and the eliminated person is never allowed to leak secrets, and a certain one will trigger the ban and explode and die. Nangong Rong explained.

Nangong Tong said: "Little Brother Xiao, you are the only one with the highest wisdom and the strongest strength among the contestants of the Nangong family this year, and the conference is dangerous, I hope you will take care of the other Nangong disciples when you still have the strength to spare." ”

Xiao Tianhe arched his hand and said: "Seniors can rest assured, juniors should do their best." ”

Nangong Tong stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

Xiao ...... Brother Xiao. Nangong Ting stood in front of Xiao Tianhe with a serious face.

Xiao Tianhe smiled: "You are finally willing to call me, I waited so hard for your 'Brother Xiao'." ”

"Brother Xiao, I ignored you for the sake of my sister, and I opened my mouth to you for my sister. Sister, she is not good at swordsmanship, although she knows how to form but needs someone to take care of her, can you protect your sister?"

"Absolutely. I promise you. Xiao Tianhe, "Not only me, but your two brothers will also help." ”

Nangong Wei behind Xiao Tianhe nodded to Nangong Ting together with Nangong Xi.

Nangong Ting stepped aside, grabbed Nangong Xue and said something, and there seemed to be tears in the eyes of the two.

The rest of the finalists were talking to the elders, waiting for the moment when the assembly would begin.

"Patriarch Yan, will the Demon Lord personally lead us?" asked one of the junior group finalists excitedly.

Nangong Yan replied with a smile: "Probably not." But you'll definitely have a chance to meet the Demon Lord. ”

The moon rises in the sky, and the time has come.

At the foot of the inner walled mountain, there was a sudden "bang", and a blue-green circle of light suddenly appeared.

"Brother Xiao. Nangong Yan walked over

Holding Xiao Tianhe's hand, "Although you and I have known each other for a short time, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion when I come to parting." That's it, there are thousands of words, all of which are silent. Waiting for your good news. ”

Xiao Tianhe nodded, lined up with the other eight promotioners, and stepped into the cyan aperture in turn, disappearing from the elders' field of vision.

......

A huge stone stele, about two zhang xu, is engraved with three big characters in italics from top to bottom - "Meng Zhangjie".

Behind the stele is the endless dense forest, the shadow of the tree is forested, only a sheep intestine path goes deep into it, the path is circuitous, and there is no end in sight.

Looking behind is the cliff, the bottomless abyss, someone looked down, it was pitch black, suddenly felt dizzy, unstable on standing, almost fell down, fortunately was pulled by others.

Is this the beginning of the Storm Cloud Tournament? Why don't you see the contestants of the other three families? But obviously, the path deep into the forest is the only way forward.

Xiao Tianhe and Nangong Wei opened the way at the head of the team, Nangong Xi and Nangong Xue were at the end of the team, and the nine of them walked into the forest along the path.

Since they didn't know if there would be danger, everyone drew their knives in their hands and watched their surroundings vigilantly.

The forest was so quiet that there wasn't even a hint of wind, and no insects could be heard. The trail turns left and right, but the general direction is always in one direction. Everyone went deeper and deeper, and the road was calm and peaceful, and nothing unusual happened.

About two hours later, Xiao Tianhe and Nangong Wei, who were at the front, suddenly stopped, and everyone immediately made a posture of raising their swords on guard.

This is perhaps the heart of the forest.

In a few feet in the open space, a man dressed in black and wearing a hooded cloak sat cross-legged. Behind him and on each side, there was a path of about the same width leading in three directions.

"Wait here. The man said without raising his head. His voice was empty and deep, full of oppression.

"Could it be that he is the Demon Lord?" someone whispered.

No one answered. The night was dark, the moonlight was hazy, and he could barely see his surroundings, and the person's face was not visible at all. Besides, the identity of the next demon lord will be revealed by the next demon lord after each generation of demon lords ascends, so no one has seen the faces of the current demon lords.

Everyone stood silently, still not daring to let their guard down.

The man in black in the cloak remained unmoved.

After waiting for a while, someone suddenly said, "Look, there's a light over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction, and at the end of the path on the left side of the man in black, there were indeed a few points of fluorescent light.

Nangong Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at it: "That's ...... It seems to be the light of a magic knife. ”

Suddenly, the man in black moved, startling everyone, and when he retracted his gaze to take a closer look, it turned out that he had just turned in a different direction and sat facing the path that lit up.

After a while, Nangong Wei's guess was confirmed, and it turned out that the people who came from the trail were also a group of demon cultivators, several of whom were carrying huge knives about a foot long on their shoulders.

"The Oriental Family. Nangong Wei said softly.

The man in black said to the newcomer, "Wait here." ”

It seems that this is the place where the contestants of the four major families gather. Undoubtedly, the contestants of the Simon family and the Beitang family will come from the other two paths.

Half an hour later, the contestants of the four major families finally gathered, but due to the darkness of the night, it was difficult to see who the contestants from the other families were.

The man in black got up slowly, and with a sudden wave of his sleeves, three gates of light slowly rose from the ground, one red, one white, and one blue. There was no door leaf in the door frame, but a mist that glowed softly.

"The Cave Void Realm enters the White Gate, the Void Realm enters the Blue Gate, and the Yuanying Realm enters the Red Gate. If there is a state of extinction, stay. The voice of the man in black was steady, without the slightest inflection.

"What about those in the Harmony Realm?" asked one of the Simon Family's Advancement Fellows.

The realm of harmony is extremely weak even in the junior group. Even such strength can be promoted, either by opportunism and good luck, or by relying on the status of prominent status that no one dares to provoke.

"Yuanying realm is not enough, but you still dare to participate in the Fengyun Conference? Give you a lesson that you can't help yourself!" The figure of the man in black shook slightly, and there was already an extra head in his hand.

In the crowd of the Simon family, a headless corpse fell to the ground with a bang, causing a commotion around it, but it quickly recovered its subsidence. No one dared to express their dissatisfaction, the strength of the men in black was not at the same level as these contestants.

"Brother Xiao......" Nangong Xue's voice trembled a little, her eyes were full of uneasiness and panic, she didn't expect that the Fengyun Conference was grouped according to the realm, which meant that Nangong Wei, Nangong Xi and Xiao Tianhe would not be with her.

"Sister Xue, don't panic. Remember, support is secondary, self-protection comes first. You have to come back alive! Take this, use it if you really can't do it. Xiao Tianhe whispered in Nangong Xue's ear, and stuffed something into her hand.

"No, you keep this ......" Nangong Xue knew what Xiao Tianhe meant, and hurriedly excused herself.

Xiao Tianhe glared: "If you want to take it, just take it! Or don't call me Brother Xiao!"

Nangong Xue nodded vigorously and put away the things in her hand with tears in her eyes.

"The people in the Yuanying realm are advanced. The man in black ordered.

There were a total of thirty-six advancements from the four major families, and excluding the person who was killed just now, a total of eleven of the thirty-five people entered the red gate one after another. After the last person stepped in, the door slowly sank into the ground.

Next came the turn of the Void Realm. This group had the largest number of people, with a total of sixteen people, and they entered the blue gate. Nangong Xue was last in line, and turned her head to look at Xiao Tianhe before entering the door, Xiao Tianhe nodded and gave her an encouraging look

God. Nangong Xue took a deep breath and stepped in.

The blue gate is also gone. In addition to the man in black, there were eight contestants in the field. Of course, they are all in the realm of Void Void. If you want to cultivate to the point of extinction in thirty-five years, it is basically impossible.

One person walked up to Xiao Tianhe, arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xiao Tianhe took a closer look, and it was actually Huang Tianyuan who he met by chance at the gate of the Sifang Hall in Sealand City!

"Brother Huang, I didn't expect to see you here, it turns out that you are from the Beitang family!" Xiao Tianhe was quite surprised, he never expected that Huang Tianyuan's demon cultivation time would not exceed thirty-five years. He clearly remembered that he had asked Huang Tianyuan about the realm at that time, he was a person in the middle stage of the Cave Void, although he didn't know how long his specific demon cultivation time was, and he didn't know how many years he had been promoted to the Cave Void Realm, but he was definitely a powerful person. "Even if he counts the longest thirty-five years of cultivation and has just reached the middle stage of the Cave Void, this qualification can be ranked as the best among the first-class bones, and it should be no worse than the senior brother. Xiao Tianhe said in his heart. The so-called "senior brother" naturally refers to Han Mingfei.

"You and I just met in Pingshui before, and our identity and background are not beneficial to our friendship, but may become a kind of bondage, so Huang deliberately concealed it, and asked Brother Xiao to forgive me. Huang Tianyuan said politely.

"Hey, what's the point. Actually, I also take those very lightly, and make friends by heart, not anything else. "Xiao Tian Dao.

"Haha, I guessed at the time that maybe I would reunite with Brother Xiao in the Fengyun Conference, and sure enough. ”

At this time, someone shouted: "Hey, now is not the time for you to catch up, if you have something to say!"

The person who shouted was a big man from the Dongfang family. Except for Xiao Tianhe and Huang Tianyuan, everyone else had gathered in front of the white gate. The big man originally wanted to step in first, but the man in black blocked in front of him, and pointed to Xiao and Huang who were talking, and the meaning was obvious: The two of them come over, and you can go in.

"I said everyone, no one knows what is going on inside the gate, there are so many of us, shouldn't we get acquainted with each other first?" Huang Tianyuan suggested loudly.

"What is there to be familiar with, I don't have that much spare time!" said the only person in the Ximen family's Cave Void Realm.

"You want to fight on your own, but the Demon Lord's test is not necessarily meant to be on your own. Since we have been grouped according to our strength, it means that the danger we will face is also the greatest. In other words, everyone is not only a competitor, but also a comrade-in-arms and companion. Only by being familiar with each other's strengths and characteristics can we cooperate more tacitly. If you have to be a maverick, whatever you want. Huang Tian said from afar.

I have to say that his words do have a point.

"Okay, I'll start with that. My name is Dongfang Zuo, and this is my younger brother, Dongfang You. Both of my brothers are in the early stage of the cave void, but I am practicing the strongest "Heaven Shaking Sword Codex" of the Dongfang family, and he is practicing the second strongest "Dragon Roar Sword Codex". The big man who just shouted said. His younger brother looked like him, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, five big and three thick, and when he saw his brother ranking the sword code like this, he immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Obviously, it is the first in the "Dragon Roar Sword Codex", and the second in the "Heaven Shaking Sword Codex"!"

"No, I'm right. The first "Earthquake Heaven", the second "Dragon Roar"!" Dongfang Zuo returned his mouth.

"You're wrong, I'm right!"

The two brothers even argued about this.

Nangong Wei couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded him: "Ahem, I said, can you not be so naïve? We are not unclear about the three sword canons of the Dongfang family, they are not equal, how can there be a difference between strength and weakness?"

Unexpectedly, the two brothers turned their heads together, looked at Nangong Wei seriously, and said in unison: "Yes!

"Uh......" Nangong Wei was speechless.

"Haha, it's a good thing that you don't have one more brother who cultivates the Wild Lan Sword Codex. Nangong Xi laughed, "But your name is really easy to come up with, and it's easy to remember." "Those two big men look like people who don't have any hearts, but they are also cute.

"Who said no? We are triplets, and there is a second child named Dongfang Zhong. Dongfang Zuo replied. Sa, Naka, Yu, interesting.

"What he practiced was the "Wild Lan Sword Codex", but his strength was not good, and he did not pass the second round of the Demon Treasure Conference. Dongfang You added.

At this time, Nangong Xi was also speechless.

The tone of the man from the Ximen family was as cold as his expression: "My name is Ximen Temple, in the middle of the cave void. Study the "Unchanged Sword Codex". ”

"I didn't expect him to be a master, no wonder his personality is so arrogant. Xiao Tianhe said in his heart.

"My name is Beitang Ying, in the middle of the cave void, and I practiced the "Snow Flower Knife Dictionary". Another promoter of the Beitang family covered his head and covered his face, only revealing his two eyes, his body was thin and small, and he was weak to speak, feeling sick, but his strength was amazingly high.

Then, Huang Tianyuan, Nangong Wei, Nangong Xi and Xiao Tianhe also introduced themselves. It is worth mentioning that the knife technique practiced by Huang Tianyuan is called "Inch Tongue Knife Dictionary", which is a very strange name. Xiao Tianhe reported "Peng'an Sword Dictionary". Since no one else had heard of these two sword codex, the names alone did not know what their specific characteristics were.

The eight Cave Void Realm Advancement Masters already knew each other.

There are two people in the Oriental family, and they are in the early stage of the cave.

The Simon family is alone, in the middle of the cave.

There are three members of the Nangong family, and they are in the early stage of the cave.

There are two people in the Beitang family, and they are in the middle of the cave.

Among the eight people, only Huang Tianyuan and Xiao Tianhe are not children of the four major families.

While everyone took turns to introduce themselves, the man in black stood silently next to the white gate.

After the introduction, Dongfang Zuo was about to step into the door, but suddenly heard a voice: "Wait!"
