The southern part of Lanzhou is a barren place.

Shrubs of uneven height were closely arranged, mostly withered, and a few blackened crows swept overhead, spreading their wings along the ramparts.

The Shadow Sect is located in this deserted place.

As a well-known Demon Dao sect in southern Xinjiang, the Shadow Sect's division here is inevitably too shabby, with dilapidated buildings within a radius of ten miles, and only an inconspicuous plaque that reads "Shadow Sect" in hot gold text. At this time, in a sloping building, several figures were scattered in various corners and sat cross-legged.

This is a dojo specially prepared by the Shadow Sect for disciples who are about to break through. Above the huge square, the shadow demon floated like a flickering black smoke, and his gaze swept downward from time to time and nodded slightly. These people were all selected from the Shadow Flow City that day, and in the past three months, they were newly recruited disciples who were drawn out of the miscellaneous disciples because of their extremely high understanding.

As the great elder of the Shadow Sect, the Shadow Evil has been in charge of all the affairs of the Shadow Sect since the disappearance of the sect master, and when he appeared in this small sect at this time, he naturally had other things, and the elders stationed here on both sides stood aside respectfully.

Although these disciples are only outer disciples, they are already qualified to learn the exercises and mantras of the Shadow Sect. At this time, Song Muchen sat among the crowd, his whole body was surging red, and a subtle crisp sound came from his arm from time to time.

The shadow evil also noticed her here, and her body appeared in front of Song Muchen in a flash. The fluctuations on the latter's body became more and more intense as time passed, and it was clearly visible, a pale orange light extended up her middle finger, and the shadow demon raised her eyebrows, "It's about to break through so soon?"

Between the words, Song Muchen muttered softly, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat. Seeing this, Shadow Demon no longer hesitated, he raised his hand and waved, and suddenly a black mist blew through, and a hideous ghost face could be vaguely seen in the fog. The ghost face floated around Song Muchen, and the latter's aura suddenly stabilized a lot, and the light wrapped around his fingertips also condensed a little. The time of the half-pillar incense was fleeting, and I saw Song Muchen snort lightly, and the red light of his body all converged, only the orange coiled on the forearm of his right hand, flickering, and the latter also opened his eyes.

"I can't imagine that one of your daughters has such a high understanding of martial arts, and in just one and a half years, she has broken through to the fifth layer of condensation, which can be regarded as a good talent. The shadow evil raised his hand, and the black mist rolled towards his palm, and his gaze at Song Muchen was a little complicated.

......

A year and a half ago.

"Name it!"

"Song Muchen. A female voice came from under the cloak, crisp and pleasant.

The elder in charge of recruiting disciples in Shadowstream City glanced up at the comer, and said casually, "Put your hands on the stone and concentrate. ”

He still didn't care a lot in his heart, there were several women who came before Song Muchen, but they were all mediocre in terms of talent.

Song Muchen hesitated for a moment, sighed softly, and raised his hand to pat on the stone.

I saw that the stone emitted a faint light, and gradually, the light became brighter and brighter, and even the lazy elders on the side widened their eyes, and almost lost their voices and exclaimed, suddenly, the light converged, and the stone turned back into pitch black, as if the previous scene did not exist.

The elder was dumbfounded, this was the first time he had seen this situation, at this time he rubbed his eyes vigorously, took the stone in his hand and looked back and forth, glanced at Song Muchen with a strange expression, and muttered in a low voice, "Strange thing, this Heavenly Stone has never happened before." ”

Song Muchen was silent, only she understood what had just happened. When her hand touched the stone, a strange sensation came over her, as if to probe her from beginning to end. At this time, Song Muchen's right hand ached, and an orange light appeared, brutally expelling the search power.

Because of the cloak covering, the elders outside naturally couldn't see anything, but Song Muchen understood what that light was, "Father......" Tears rolled in her eyes. The previous light was the martial arts of the Song family, and the light emitted by the three yin meridians in the hands. At this moment, the words of the elders came:

"Wait a minute, I'll report to the Great Elder!"

......

"Elder Shadow, that's the way it is, look at ......" In the air, the elder in charge of collecting people stood aside respectfully and said.

The shadow evil stood in mid-air, looked at Song Muchen and frowned, grabbed the void with his right hand, and suddenly a bamboo slip appeared out of thin air, with Song Muchen's information clearly recorded on it.

"The origin is unknown, aren't you from Shadowstream City......" Shadow Demon touched his chin and thought lightly. After a while, he smiled loudly and said: "Interesting, this girl is a little interesting, what my Shadow Sect wants is such an interesting monk, just let her pass, I want to see what she has planned!"

"Yes. ”

......

The scenes of the recruitment in the past passed through the mind of the shadow evil, but the latter was not as prominent as he imagined, but a lot more low-key, and he had always behaved in the sect, and there was no more conspicuousness. I slowly forgot about her, and turned to pay attention to the three people who showed good talent at the earliest.

However, the latter actually stepped into the fifth layer of blood gathering in the past year and a half, which surprised him a little. The other cultivators in this building were all disciples who had been recruited together that day, and most of them were now struggling on the second and third floors of Qi Condensation. At this time, he looked at Song Muchen's eyes full of appreciation and affection, after all, it was also an excellent thing for a cultivator with outstanding talent to appear in the Shadow Sect.

Song Muchen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body and the traces of the Dao marks around him, and there was a trace of joy in his heart.

Since entering the branch of the Shadow Sect, these disciples of them have been assigned to do miscellaneous work, with some previous martial arts foundations, she is effortless, and she has slowly gained the love of the elders, and she has entered the Gongfa Pavilion to select the exercises.

Of course, this is just a disguise, although there are many styles of exercises in the Shadow Sect, but in Song Muchen's opinion, none of them can compare to her family heirlooms, so she chose a book of martial arts exercises at random to cover people's eyes, and still practiced the Three Yin Sutras in private.

I don't know if it is because she was born in a martial arts family, she is blessed, or because of the extraordinary effect of the Three Yin Sutras of the Hand, Song Muchen has shown extraordinary talent in martial arts, and her strength has improved rapidly, and sometimes she secretly complains that her father Song Tian did not let her practice back then, but when she thinks of her father, Song Muchen will feel a pain in her heart.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Song Muchen decided not to keep a low profile, and needed the help of the Shadow Sect to find her father, which was also an important reason for her to join the Shadow Sect, so she chose the key to breaking through the refining body flow today, gathering blood at the fifth layer.

As she expected, looking at the color of love in the eyes of the shadow evil, Song Muchen breathed a sigh of relief, and silently thought in her heart:

"Father, I'm one step closer to finding you!"
