There are still eight days left before going to the ancient ruins, and the competition on the Qingyun list is still extremely hot, attracting a lot of attention.

However, early this morning, a strong news came out from the five halls at the same time.

The ninth place on the Qingyun List, Jin Mulei, a disciple of the Ying Heavenly Palace, wants to challenge Xiang Yun, the first person in the Qiyun Palace, and the sixteenth person on the Qingyun List!

Xiang Yun's reputation has just spread throughout Fengyun Academy, and it is very hot and eye-catching.

Many have been wondering lately if someone will challenge the rookie.

However, everyone never thought that the person who launched the challenge turned out to be Kim Murray!

If Xiang Yun is now an up-and-coming rookie, then Jin Murray's name is really resounding throughout Fengyun Academy.

The ninth place on the Qingyun List, only twenty-seven years old, is already a half-step Tianyun Realm cultivation, and it is also an existence that can enter the Tianyun Realm at any time.

Moreover, Kim Murray's reputation comes more from fighting, and the 'killing god' of the extraterritorial battlefield is not touted.

Although Jin Murray is only a half-step Tianyun Realm, in the battle with the Ghost Gate on the extraterritorial battlefield, he has repeatedly defeated strong enemies, killed the three elders of the Ghost Gate, and has hundreds of disciples, he is a real powerhouse in a hundred battles!

Such a big man actually wanted to challenge Xiang Yun, which immediately attracted the attention of all the disciples of Fengyun Academy, and they all guessed who could win this battle.

Of course, the vast majority of people are inclined to Jin Murray, after all, although Xiang Yun shot in public, he showed good combat power.

But Kim Murray's prestige is a general trend of countless victories and countless lives.

The huge hot spot itself, coupled with the fact that someone secretly added fuel to the fire, so, a big war that had not yet started swept the eyes of the entire Fengyun Academy, many disciples and even elders.

The tide of public opinion is better than the wave, and some people even open a handicap, and they are already betting on the ring battle in three days, which can be described as unprecedented!

However, one of the protagonists of this challenge, Xiang Yun, a rookie from Fengyun Academy, was still staying in the sect master's cultivation room without knowing it, cultivating behind closed doors!

At this moment, Xiang Yun sat cross-legged, not running the merit creation technique, but closing his eyes and concentrating, as if he was feeling something carefully.

Half an hour passed, Xiang Yun's forehead was oozing with sweat, and suddenly his body trembled, and his eyes suddenly opened, but there was a trace of incomprehension in his eyes!

"Why can't I ever perceive these forces of heaven and earth?"

Xiang Yun had been in retreat in the cultivation room for half a month, and now that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Earth Cloud Realm, he could already faintly perceive the laws of heaven and earth.

During this time, in addition to taking the Qingshen Pill to continue cultivating, he would set aside a part of his time to try to feel these laws of heaven and earth.

However, Xiang Yun could vaguely perceive the existence of these energies, and he tried to use his divine thoughts to touch this power, but he was completely unable to touch it.

"Could it be that I haven't reached the limit of the Earth Cloud Realm and can't perceive the power of these laws?" Xiang Yun secretly guessed in his heart.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much yet!"

Xiang Yun decisively got up and walked out of the customs, calculating the time, two days have passed in the outside world, this is the third day, it's time to meet the Great Elder!

After the review ceremony three days ago, the Great Elder Ji Yu sent a message to Xiang Yun and asked him to go to him in three days.

Although Xiang Yun didn't know what the Great Elder was looking for him, Xiang Yun had an inexplicable sense of closeness to this Great Elder, and naturally he would follow his orders.

Walking out of the cave, Xiang Yun didn't know that the outside world was already in full swing about him.

He stepped directly into the air, climbed the Aolai Peak, and landed outside the cave of Elder Ji Yu.

The Great Elder Ji Yu's cave mansion is in the back mountain, it is not tall, and it is also very inconspicuous, compared to the cave mansion of Yan Fushan and Qi Yufeng, it is even more remote and shorter.

As soon as Xiang Yun fell down, the clouds and mist outside the cave dissipated, revealing an ordinary extreme mountain gate.

"Come in. In the cave, Ji Yu's somewhat old voice came.

Xiang Yun walked into Ji Yu's cave mansion, the cave mansion was very simple, almost empty, there was only a wooden table and two stone benches in the hall.

Ji Yu was sitting on a stone bench at the moment, holding a purple clay pot teapot in his hand, rubbing it gently, and there was no expression on his ordinary and old face.

That's like an old man sitting on a stool in the alley of Xiang Yun's previous life, extremely ordinary.

"Here, sit down. When Ji Yu saw Xiang Yun, he smiled faintly and beckoned Xiang Yun to sit down.

Xiang Yun was not polite, he sat down directly, a cup of fragrant tea was already placed in front of him, Xiang Yun picked it up smoothly, untied the tea lid and sniffed it gently, a strong and slightly pungent aroma came, Xiang Yun couldn't help but be surprised.

The tea in the teacup turned out to be the most ordinary and cheap flower tea in the world.

In Xiang Yun's opinion, this Great Elder of Qiyun Palace, even if he drank not the spiritual tea brewed by the elixir, at least it was the top tea in the world, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

However, in his previous life, Xiang Yun's grandfather also liked to drink this kind of flower tea, and he also drank a lot, but he missed this taste a little.

Xiang Yun took a sip of the teacup, grandpa said that this kind of flower tea has to be drunk like this to taste enough.

Seeing Xiang Yun's actions, Ji Yu on the other side showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face, picked up his tea bowl, and poured a big mouthful!

"Great Elder, I don't know what you have to tell you to come to your disciple today?" Xiang Yun was the first to ask.

Ji Yu paused slightly and said, "This time when you enter the ancient ruins, you should be going to walk with Elder Yan." ”

Xiang Yun nodded.

"Yes!"

With Xiang Yun's current strength, teaming up with Yan Fushan, even if he encounters danger, he has the power to protect himself, so Xiang Yun has already made up his mind in his heart.

Ji Yu nodded, but there was a rare serious look on his face.

"Now that you've made your decision, I'm going to have to give you this task. ”

"Mission?" Xiang Yun was a little surprised.

"Are there any other tasks that need to be carried out in the ancient ruins?"

Ji Yu nodded and only said two words.

"Kill!"

"Huh......" Xiang Yun's heart suddenly moved.

"Kill whom?"

Ji Yu didn't answer this question directly, but instead said.

"Our Northwest Alliance has been fighting with the Ghost Gate for nearly a hundred years, and the two sides are fighting each other and hurting each other.

Although neither of us was sure that we would defeat the other in one fell swoop, we never gave up infiltrating each other and secretly paved the way in preparation for a decisive battle in the future.

Now that the ancient ruins have appeared, it may be a great thing for our Northwest Alliance, or it may be an extremely dangerous thing, after all, every time there is a big chaos, there will be demons and evil spirits, and some people can't bear it anymore, so they have to kill ......!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Ji Yu's cloudy old eyes shot out two dim rays of light, revealing a hint of seeping chill.

And when Xiang Yun heard this, his heart suddenly moved, as if he understood something!

"Great Elder, are you saying that this time when you go to the ancient ruins, there will be undercover agents from the Ghost Gate to follow the team!"

Ji Yu nodded calmly.

"Yes, but it's not so much that we came with us, but that we deliberately arranged for them to go together.

Over the years, the ghost gate has infiltrated countless undercover agents in my Northwest Alliance, and they have been dormant in the four sects, holding various positions, and they have been hidden for a long and short time, which can be described as pervasive, in order to play a key role in the decisive battle.

And now that the ancient ruins are open, this is not only an opportunity for the Northwest Alliance, but also an opportunity for the Ghost Gate.

At this time, these people who have been hiding in the shadows for a long time will naturally jump out and cause us heavy damage, in this case, we can only strike first!"

Xiang Yun listened to Ji Yu's narration, but his face became calmer and calmer, there were undercover agents of the ghost sect in Fengyun Academy, this was really not something to be surprised about.

Just like the battle between the Northwest and Dragon City at the beginning, there are countless Dragon City secret spies in the Northwest, as well as chess pieces such as Lu Yongchang who have been dormant for decades, and Dragon City also has Yincheng Earth Guards and Heavenly Guards.

A big war has both a battle on the surface and a hidden layout, both of which are indispensable.

The Northwest Alliance and the Ghost Gate have been fighting for so many years, and the number of internal responses and chess pieces arranged by the two sides is probably extremely amazing.

As Ji Yu said, Fengyun Academy seems to be planning to erase these hidden dangers through this trip to ancient ruins.

"But Great Elder, how many of these people are lurking in the shadows, and who are they, have you all mastered them?"

In this kind of espionage warfare, intelligence is king, otherwise if you don't catch the key person and act rashly, you will startle the snake, making the opponent more hidden and more deadly.

Ji Yu nodded firmly.

"The news is accurate and reliable, it was conveyed by the dean himself, there are spies in the five halls, and this time they went to the ancient ruins.

In addition to entering the ancient ruins to explore opportunities, each hall also has to carry out the task of killing spies, of course, those who complete these tasks must be Tianyun Realm level combat power.

Of the elders who went to my Qiyun Palace, there was only Elder Yan, although Elder Yan was strong, it was a bit troublesome to be unassisted, and your strength was enough to help Elder Yan complete the task.

And this is the task of the sect, and naturally there are also rewards from the sect, and the gains other than the rewards are all owned by you. ”

Ji Yu's meaning naturally means that if Xiang Yun kills the mission target, everything on the other party belongs to him.

Xiang Yun listened to Ji Yu's words, and did not immediately agree, but fell into silence, weighing the pros and cons, as well as his own safety.

"Elder Ji, is the true strength of these spies like this in the academy?"

Xiang Yun has a deep memory of the 'Tianyin Witch' at the beginning of the Ghost Gate, and the Ghost Gate's exercises are strange and unpredictable, so he has to guard against it.

If the target is too strong, then you don't know who killed whom.

"The forces of these treachers are basically not much different from what they seem.

However, the Ghost Gate has many secret methods, and if you use these secret methods, I am afraid that the combat power will increase by thirty percent, and the target you deal with will not exceed the peak of the Tianyun Realm at most. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Yun nodded, and he could be regarded as having a spectrum in his heart, if the opponent's strength was the highest and could only burst out of the peak of the Tianyun Realm, then with the strength of Yan Fushan, plus himself, he could indeed kill!

"How many people are there in the mission of Qiyun Palace?"

"There are two targets, one in the early stage of Tianyun Realm and one in the late stage of Tianyun Realm, the former is killed by Zhang Jinji and Lin Dan, and the latter is shot by Elder Yan.

Of course, if you also take on the task, it will be up to you and Elder Yan to cooperate to kill the target. ”

Xiang Yun pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll take this task!"
