And so it was. ”

Looking at the two-zhang tall green boulder in the distance, Shi Xiaole was in a complicated mood.

As early as when he knew about the green-haired monster, he had a guess. This human-transformed creature is far more terrifying than the poisonous zombies of the past, and it is definitely not something that human beings can do, but more like, genetic mutation!

That's right, genetic mutation, a word that only Shi Xiaole can think of and know.

Later, after seeing the white tiger and the abnormalities that happened to Qing Feng, Shi Xiaole was even more convinced of this.

Generic genetic mutations are carried out without warning.

In the original world, even if it happened, the person concerned would not be able to detect it.

But how keen Shi Xiaole was in this life, coupled with the effect of the Phaseless Divine Skill, he immediately noticed this change.

He guessed that not everything affected by the green boulder would be genetically mutated, such as other animals on Peony Mountain.

In the long history of Peony Town, I have never heard of the appearance of tigers, and it is very likely that the white tiger ran from other mountains in the past six months, and was accidentally affected by the green boulder, so there was a change.

In the same way, there must be a lot of people who have been to Peony Mountain, and there are many people who have mutated their genes and become green-haired monsters.

If we follow this inference, there must be green boulders in other places besides this place and the Bloody Battle Plain, otherwise the existence of Qingfeng cannot be explained.

Wisps of invisible fluctuations, like a tide, invaded Shi Xiaole's body, probably because the strength of the green boulder itself was not strong, and the distance was too far, every time it was shattered by the Wuxiang Gang Qi, and it was useless.

Qingfeng hissed a few times and stood still.

Patting Qingfeng's head, Shi Xiaole jumped to the ground and walked forward slowly, not forgetting to crush the fluctuations with his phaseless qi, and once he found that he couldn't resist, he immediately stopped.

He didn't want to be a monster.

When the two sides were fifty meters apart, Wuxiang Gang Qi became extremely difficult, and it seemed that it had reached its limit.

Not daring to go any further, Shi Xiaole took a closer look and found that the green boulder was not a complete whole, and there were obvious cuts on the section, as if it had been cut off by life.

"Immortal Scholar!"

Suddenly, at the bottom of the green boulder, these four small characters were found, and Shi Xiaole's pupils contracted sharply.

He had heard from the Blue and Yellow families that in the past, the Black Demon God Monarch had taken an elixir and lived for hundreds of years, and the person who gave the elixir was the Immortal Scholar!

Are these two people the same?

Inexplicably, Shi Xiaole had a creepy feeling, as if he had touched an extremely important thread, but he didn't know where the thread pointed and what it represented.

The youthful green-haired monster, the inscription of the immortal scholar, and the elixir of longevity...... Shi Xiaole didn't dare to think about it anymore, and even had the urge to turn around and run away.

Since the green boulder has the inscription of an immortal scholar, is the formation here also left by the other party back then?

There were several corpses on the ground, and as Shi Xiaole approached, their movements gradually increased, as if they were about to be revived, but after trying hard for a long time, they still snapped and broke into several pieces.

Shi Xiaole found the young man Wang Heng in it, judging from the wounds of the other party, he should have been bitten alive by the white tiger.

After walking around the green boulder, and finding nothing more, Shi Xiaole immediately left this formation space with Qingfeng.

Half a day later, the white tiger sneaked back, desperately sucking the blood on Wang Heng's corpse that had not yet dried up, and the declining aura skyrocketed again.

Shout!

In the distance, the amber light flashed, and Qingfeng kicked the white tiger away, and Shi Xiaole, who had been waiting in the distance, immediately swung the red dragon sword and killed the killer.

After dozens of moves, the white tiger was awarded.

......

The atmosphere in Peony Town was as tense as before, but the white tiger was dead, and Peony Mountain had long been listed as a forbidden place, and no one would rush up the mountain, and the danger of being affected by the green boulder was also avoided.

It is believed that as the situation subsides, the townspeople will eventually return to their previous lives.

Shi Xiaole didn't plan to expose the green boulder.

First, there are only a few people who can be influenced.

Second, people's hearts are sinister, and once the news spreads, it will inevitably not be used by people with intentions to create greater incidents.

It's a big deal to wait until you have enough power in the future, and then try to destroy the green boulder.

Finally, after taking a look at Peony Town, Shi Xiaole rode the green wind and galloped away, and soon disappeared on the official road.

......

On the edge of a cliff where a waterfall flows, there is a simple thatched hut. Facing the light of the sun, Shi Xiaole, who was wearing a green shirt, was practicing swords.

Two months have passed since the incident in Peony Town.

Since there were no more casualties of humans and animals, the Anti-Demon Alliance had determined that Shi Xiaole had completed the task, and gave him the secret weapon of the Tang Sect - the flower in his sleeve.

For a long time, Shi Xiaole put away his sword and stood, watching the Wanzhang Waterfall under his feet rush to the bottom of the mountain, stirring up the mist covering the sky, and smiled bitterly.

"The Heavenly Sword Realm is far more complicated than I imagined. ”

Although one foot had already entered the Heavenly Sword realm, the difficulty of really reaching it was beyond Shi Xiaole's expectations. If I have to describe it, this period of penance and enlightenment made his other foot lift up at most.

But it's normal.

In the past fifty years in the rivers and lakes of Xuanwu Prefecture, there have been no more than ten people who have comprehended the realm of the Heavenly Sword!

What a concept it is.

It is almost equivalent to the fact that there are three hundred and sixty-five states in the capital of Shuntian, and almost all the elites of the rivers and lakes are combined, and only the single-digit swordsmen have comprehended the Heavenly Sword realm.

Among them, it also includes those swordsman predecessors who are already amazing and brilliant, and have been polished for tens or hundreds of years.

Even the Longyang Sword Venerable, who was the first of the three great swordsmen of Shuntian Capital and was known as the top fifty masters, second only to the 'Great Evil Star' Xin Zhuliu, had only reached this realm at the age of thirty-nine.

Shi Xiaole is only a few years old, if people know that he has faintly touched the Heavenly Sword Realm, he has to drive countless swordsmen out of the Shuntian Capital!

The realm of kendo has not improved much, and in other aspects, Shi Xiaole is also lackluster.

For example, cultivation, from leaving the ancient land of ruins to the present, more than half a year of cultivation has only broken through from the middle stage of the Longguan realm to the late stage of the Longguan realm.

And martial arts, because he didn't draw the first-class level, there hasn't been much change.

At this point, Shi Xiaole finally truly realized the difficulty of cultivation.

With his talent, if there is no special opportunity, he can only have the opportunity to become a leader in the Longguan Realm after a few years and be crowned with respect only by staying up for time and accumulating over time.

This is also the reason why almost all high-minded Jianghu guests, after reaching a certain level of strength, will choose to go to bigger rivers and lakes to find opportunities.

After living by the waterfall for three months, Shi Xiaole set off to do some tasks of the Anti-Demon Alliance, or go to some places of interest, and lived a full and comfortable life.

......

Late that night, several passers-by were sleeping in the wilderness, when they suddenly heard a great movement in the distance, and the mountains trembled as if they had been earthquaked.

It took half an hour for the tremor to fade away.

Several Jianghu guests were frightened, but they really couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts, so they discussed it and walked in the direction where the earthquake came. Miles away, they stopped, their eyes wide.

"That's, what?"

"The underground palace is an ancient underground palace. ”

The ground cracked, like a piece of paper torn in half, each spreading thousands of meters away, and in the middle, a quaint palace that retained the style of antiquity appeared.

Directly in front of the palace, the three big characters of the Jade Sword Palace, the sharp cold and steep, stinged the eyes of several people at a glance.

"Oh my God, it's the Jade Sword Palace, it's the Jade Sword Palace that has disappeared in Xuanwu Prefecture for thousands of years!"

Several people were violently shaken, and they showed extreme madness one after another, and rushed towards the palace without thinking.

Snort.

There were still ten zhang away from the main gate of the palace, countless qi swords rushed out, and a few people only had the cultivation of the Xuan Qi realm, and they were stabbed into a sieve in the blink of an eye, and there were no bones left.

The Jade Sword Palace was born!

In just two days, an astonishing piece of news detonated from all over the country, and at its speed, it is believed that it will spread throughout Xuanwu Prefecture in less than half a month.

"Thousands of years ago, there were more sects in Xuanwu Prefecture than there are now, and the masters are endless. But in such a fierce competition, the Jade Sword Palace is still the top twenty sects, and it is rumored that the palace master, the Jade Sword Old Man, is also a peak master of the Dragon Pass Realm, and his strength is unmatched. ”

"At that time, the Jade Sword Palace was very prosperous, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, an unprecedented terrifying earthquake came, capsizing thousands of miles, causing countless deaths and injuries. However, the Jade Sword Palace was near the epicenter of the earthquake, and it was ruthlessly buried for the first time, and no one could escape. ”

In an inn in Mingyu City, a group of people talked loudly, lamenting the tragic fate of the Jade Sword Palace.

There were also many people with excitement on their faces.

At that time, the destruction of the Jade Sword Palace was only in a breath, and the palace may still retain the sect's peerless learning, weapons, property, etc., as long as you get a few pieces, it is enough for most of the Jianghu guests to be used for life.

"Think beautifully. ”

It seemed that someone sensed the thoughts of the people next to him, and sneered: "In the past two days, there have been countless people who have gone to the Jade Sword Palace, but more than ninety out of nine people have been stabbed in half before they have even approached the place of ten zhang. Even the powerhouses of the Dragon Pass Realm are no exception. If you want to die, try it. ”

The crowd was taken aback.

One of them asked, "You said nine out of nine, could it be that someone else went in?"

The previous man said: "Yes, but the few people who were lucky enough to walk in were all holding a jade sword-shaped key, which was rumored to be the jade sword order of the Jade Sword Palace." ”

By the window, Shi Xiaole, who was dressed in a green shirt, put down his wine glass and got up to leave.

This time he was very lucky, when the Jade Sword Palace was born, it happened to be in the nearby city, so the day after the news came out, he rushed to the famous Jade City in time.

Outside the famous jade city, a large-scale, majestic ancient palace stands in the sunken ground, just looking at it from a distance, there is a great shock.

The black-pressed Jianghu people surrounded him.

And in front of them, there is a thick and three-zhang red river around the palace. A few severed arms and stumps occasionally floated in the Red River, and it turned out to be the burial place of countless Jianghu guests who were pierced by air swords.
