Volume 1 Shadow Chapter 4 Hidden Rules

Yue Chen didn't dare to stay any longer, followed the trail, tried his best to cover himself in the mountain, and quickly ran towards a mountain peak behind the valley. In the time of this short meeting, the sound of fighting was heard again in the valley that had just been silent. The people on both sides seemed to have displayed their lifelong Dao magic powers, intending to kill each other under their own spiritual weapons.

Yue Chen came to the selected peak, quietly hid behind a strange rock, and cautiously looked into the valley. The first thing I saw was the two people standing in the middle of the valley, the spirit sword of one on the right pierced the chest of the person on the left, and the spirit sword of the one on the left was inserted into the abdomen of the one on the right. Both of them died together, and the corpses did not fall for a long time.

At this moment, two of the other four pairs of people who fought died under the sword of the other party, and then the living people continued to fight. In the end, after both sides performed a strange trick at the same time, they both ended up.

Yue Chen looked at the ten corpses, his heart was sad for a while, and he thought: "No wonder the Chengming Sect is divided into three veins, and it can be passed down for thousands of years, and that vein has never been swallowed up or eliminated by that vein. It turns out that the reason is here! But it is really life and death together!" After thinking about it again, he said in his heart: "In Jiuzhou, monks are like crossing the river, as many as stars, and I have heard a lot of things about fighting for the cultivation of spiritual materials. But what I saw with my own eyes was the first time, and it was a killing between the same door. โ€

When he thought about it, a blue light shot down and came to this valley. The sword light was put away, but it was a tall disciple of the Chengming Sect, and his body just happened to be carrying Yue Chen. I saw him looking at a few corpses coldly, without the slightest pity for his fellow disciples, but as if to confirm whether these fellow disciples were dead or not. After a while, he came to the side of a Yuqing disciple in a white shirt and took out a lotus flower from his arms, which had three petals, purple, black, and yellow. This is the five-grade spiritual material three-color golden lotus, its petals are three-colored, its juice is like honey, and its stamen is like powder, which is a rare treasure that makes countless monks in the world crazy.

The man scanned the valley again with his divine sense, as if he had said a few words, put away the golden lotus, and left with his sword. He didn't seem to be interested in these wishful bags of the same door at all, or he was afraid of being traced back, so he didn't move other people's wishful bags.

Yue Chen hid behind the rocks, his heart was turbulent, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. When he was about to leave, he found that his clothes were soaked with sweat, his legs were weak, and he couldn't move anymore. I had to stay where I was. Unexpectedly, after an hour, who turned around, Yue Chen could only see his half-bearded face. This time, who began to carefully inspect the Ruyi bag of the same door, and received all the newly collected spiritual materials into his Ruyi bag.

Yue Chen said in his heart: "This person is cautious and shrewd, too ordinary! Just now, as long as I went down to check, I was caught by him, and then, there was another corpse in this valley! It's just that even the monks of the Divine Evolution Realm are so greedy and sinister, which shows that cultivation is difficult." If this person had appeared early and stopped the sect's infighting, the sect would not have lost ten Guanqing Realm disciples in vain, and I would see that people's hearts were sinister. โ€

After receiving the spiritual materials once, the ruyi bag was put back in the place where each corpse was. Edgeworth flew over the valley, still looking at it with great anxiety for a moment before leaving.

Yue Chen felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and after someone left, his head buzzed, and the whole person fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already dawn, and after pranayama and breathing, I gradually returned to normal. Slowly getting up, he walked out of the rock, removed the traces of his hiding place, sacrificed a talisman, and flew into the distance.

Further into the depths of the Ghost Cloud Gorge, a large number of demon beasts will appear, including many powerful fourth-order demon beasts. But Yue Chen didn't care about it, and escaping from that nightmarish place was the top priority. Yue Chen went at will, only waiting for a talisman to be exhausted before slowly landing on the ground.

It's just that I just left a land of nightmares and entered another land of nightmares. At this time, what was heard was not the sound of people fighting, but the roar of demon beasts. Yue Chen smiled bitterly for a while, grabbed a talisman made of green rune paper in his hand, and walked lightly towards the forest where the demon beast roared angrily. Entering this labyrinthine forest, a fishy smell gradually spread to the outside of the forest. Yue Chen picked the terrain, quickly climbed a towering ancient tree, and looked ahead.

I saw that there was a circular basin in this forest, and more than a dozen second-order demon beasts had already died under the attack of higher-order demon beasts. Right now, what is being fought are four third-order demon beasts. Watching the same kind of demon beasts fighting to the death, Yue Chen couldn't help but think of yesterday's cannibalism, and sighed in his heart: "In the face of interests, humans and beasts have different paths to the same end!" However, after a closer look, he realized that these demon beasts were fighting each other for some reason. And his own classmates are at least fighting for a three-color golden lotus.

Yue Chen was physically and mentally exhausted, but he still felt that it was good to stay in the bamboo house in Yunqiao Stream, and gradually, the motivation to find spiritual materials disappeared. I only hope that the sect will come to check on the ten corpses as soon as possible, and when the matter is over, we can return the same way. Unconsciously, he fell asleep in a daze, letting the demon beast roar.

When a person's heart is tired, some people choose to wander, and some people choose to hide in the world. For Yue Chen, maybe he didn't have anything to do with either, he just wanted to sleep quietly. For three days, he didn't move an inch of the ground, and when he woke up, he looked at the battle situation of the demon beasts, a wave of demon beasts died, and another wave came, and he didn't know what evil he had been. It was not until the third day that there was a sudden silence in the woods, and this quietness was very much like the silence of the moment between the same doors, and perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it was dead silence. It feels like something bigger is going to happen in the woods. Yue Chen quietly took out five talismans, one of which was clasped in the palm of his hand, and listened with bated breath as much as possible.

Not long after, the sound of "rustling" came, and following the prestige, directly opposite Yue Chen, two thick green rays of light shot out, slowly moving towards the basin. About a moment later, a snake core more than a foot long poked out of the forest, and two strong green rays of light reflected each other, and immediately changed the color of the surrounding area of the basinโ€”a dark green. As the snake core gradually retracted, a huge inverted triangular snake head appeared in the basin, and Yue Chen felt that his blood was coagulating and cooling. Because, as long as this strong snake demon that has advanced to the fourth order stretches out the snake core, it will easily involve itself in the belly of the snake.

However, the big snake's attention was indeed not on himself, and it seemed that the big snake also had a faint uneasiness, a pair of dark green snake eyes, looking at the sky from time to time. When the giant snake poked out a piece of the snake's body, it instantly turned the area around the originally dark green basin into darkness.

Yue Chen roared angrily in his heart: "Hell Messenger!"

What is the Hell Messenger? This is the name given by the monks of the world to a kind of giant serpent that is a specialty of the Jinting Mountain Range. According to legend, the ancestor of this giant snake is a group of gods and demons with the blood of the demon emperor. Later, the descendants of his people were cursed with immortality. To be reproduced today, it has become the most precious snake spiritual material in the world, which is only produced in the Jinting Mountain Range. This kind of giant snake, but all living creatures with flesh and blood are its prey, and many of the highest-level heaven and earth spiritual materials in the Jinting Mountain Range have also been eaten by them. However, they have never been able to leave the Jinting Mountain Range, but it is because they cannot break through the prohibitions in the Jinting Mountain Range.

For more than 10,000 years, the three demon beast rebellions that occurred in the Golden Court Mountain Range were all caused by hell envoys who could advance to the Heavenly Demon level. The Chengming Sect will also enter the forbidden land on a regular basis, with the consent of the head of the sect, by the elders or the most important disciples to check the progress and reproduction of the Hell Messenger.

Although Yue Chen is not very clear about these things, he also understands a thing or two. Looking at the actions of the giant snake, he said in his heart: "What kind of genius is there in this place, which is worthy of so many demon beasts fighting for their lives!"

At this moment, the body of the hell messenger leaned out again, and the ribs on his body were very distinct. Suddenly, a carving sound resounded through the mountains and forests, and the sound seemed to come from thousands of miles away, but a swift silver light rushed towards the neck of the giant snake like lightning. The fourth-order demon beast, the spiritual wisdom was opened, and the Dao Xing was even more powerful, but before he could react, he was grabbed by a larger eagle claw and fell violently. It was pulled up more than ten feet, but the tail of the big snake was still missing.

After the Condor dropped the big snake and hung ten feet in the air, it seemed that it also began to run out of strength, and it could no longer take off, but only circled and stayed. After the big snake accumulated, it stretched out the core of the snake violently and stabbed it towards the throat of the eagle. The eagle did not let an inch go, and used its indestructible beak to block, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the sparks were scattered, but there was no damage to both sides. The big snake swayed violently again, and a forest at its tail was also swept away, and Yue Chen was surprised to find that part of the big snake's body had not yet been brought out of the cave.

Yue Chen immediately thought of the record in the book, which showed that this giant snake was alienating and advanced, and the body that had not yet been brought out of the cave was molting with the snake's tail. If it weren't for the treasures in this woodland, it would never have moved at this critical moment.

At this moment, seeing that the eagle eagle could not support it, the giant snake seemed to be getting more and more courageous, and there were signs of breaking free. At this moment, a figure appeared in the basin, and I saw him sacrifice a bowl-shaped magic weapon and head towards the giant snake. The edge of the bowl emitted a circle of cyan light, enveloping the snake's body, and after a moment, the snake's body began to twist and become smaller, and drilled into the bowl along the blue light circle. The spirit carving, which looked more difficult, slowly fell on the shoulders of the people who came.

After the messenger of hell was collected, the messenger said in a deep voice, "Come out!"

Yue Chen shuddered smartly, and said in his heart: "Call me, or lie to me?" thought about it, but still didn't move.

The person shook his head slightly and said, "Being able to stay here for three days and two nights shows that you have a good heart." Why, are you still hiding in the branches of the third ancient locust tree in the east, and you can't come out?"

Yue Chen sighed lightly and said to himself, "Isn't this just calling me?" After thinking for a while, he quickly got down the tree and walked towards someone. When I looked closer, I realized that I knew this person!

Why? Because one of the people in charge of selecting Yue Chen's group of disciples was him, and he was also the most undisputed first among the twenty-first generation of disciples, and he was also the only one who had entered the Holy Light Realm. His name is Chu Yunyu (ji), and he is the first disciple in charge of the pure universe Zhenren, and he is one of the most important candidates for the next head.

For Chengmingzong, there is such an unwritten rule: the first three batches of disciples of each generation are personally selected by the elders, and often in these three batches of disciples, the core membership structure of the new generation of disciples will be formed, and when the fourth batch of disciples of the generation begins to be selected, this kind of core disciple without any name will preside over. As a result, the main disciples who often presided over the recruitment of the last three batches of disciples were all nominees competing for the next head of the sect. In the future, it may still be these disciples, or it may be the rising leader of the same generation. This hidden rule was still the same when it was passed on to the twenty-first generation of disciples.

Chu Yunyi didn't look at Yue Chen, but asked in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Yue, have you ever seen anything about fighting with the same family?"

"No!" Yue Chen said without hesitation, because this was something he had been thinking about for a long time, and someone was expected to ask that. However, after all, he was not yet sixteen years old, and he was not deeply involved, so he didn't notice at all that the reaction and speed of this answer already showed that he was lying again.

However, Chu Yunyi didn't mean to continue to ask, and said: "It's a pity! The sect has lost ten disciples of the Guanqing Realm in vain, and all of them have died under the secret science of the sect's various veins! In the past three days, the demon beasts you have seen fighting are a kind of phantom array that I have used to use the six-grade spirit fruit narcissus fruit. You know the purpose.

In the basin, there are thirteen second-order demon beasts and twelve third-order demon beasts, and these are all yours!

Yue Chen thought for a moment, then took out his spiritual blade and stepped forward, quickly cutting the spiritual material. There are some things that he still knows. For example, the relationship between the three veins, the intrigue between the same sect because of the position of the sect, and so on. For example, the struggle for the position of the 20th generation of the Sect Leader was between the Pure Zhou Zhenren of the Yuqing Dynasty and the Zilun Zhenren of the Shangqing Lineage, and the Pure Zhou Zhenren eventually won the position of the Sect Master, and it can be said that half of it was the full support of the Haojing Zhenren.

At that time, whoever Haojing Zhenren of the Taiqing lineage supported would be able to win 100%. Why is this?

If the two veins of Yuqing and Shangqing are unable to hold each other, they can only win the handsome through a competition in the end. First, the contenders for the position of coach must compete one-on-one, and secondly, there are six players from both sides, and the one with the most wins wins. In this game, if the Taiqing vein does not have any right to speak, it can only be fought by the other two veins. But if the Taiqing line has the right to speak, then two people can be arbitrarily selected in the Taiqing line to compete for the side they support. In terms of personal cultivation, ten Zilun real people may not be able to win one pure universe real person, but when it comes to the strength of the original lineage, it is a different matter.

Among the twentieth generation of elders, the top five cultivators happen to be Taiqing and Shangqing, and the pure universe always holds the first position. Since then, everyone knows the result of this competition, and the pure universe real person won without a fight, and went to the next city first. Haojing Zhenren of the Taiqing lineage has always been second only to the pure Zhou Zhenren, and he is determined to be a city; if the Haoxian Zhenren can at least guarantee a draw, the Shangqing Zhenren has no chance of winning. It can be said that it is ironclad to lose!

As a result, Zilun Zhenren can only become the second in command of Chengmingzong. Personality charm!

Among the elders of the Shangqing lineage, Zilun Zhenren is recognized by everyone as the worst one in terms of Taoism and cultivation, but it is in such a vein of exalting strength and speaking that this old man with very low Taoist cultivation has governed the Shangqing line in an orderly and obedient manner. In the Shangqing lineage, there has never been a single abnormal voice. As long as Zilun Zhenren gives an order, there is nothing that the Shangqing disciples can't complete. This situation is certainly inexplicable according to common sense. Moreover, Fu Qiyi, the second disciple of Zilun Zhenren, has stood out and become the first person of the new generation of disciples of the Shangqing lineage.

Chu and Fu are also the only two principals of Yue Chen and other new disciples, and they are the biggest competitors between each other. Since then, it is not an unspeakable secret that the two sides have openly and secretly co-opted with each other.

Chu Yun gave these demon beast spirit materials to Yue Chen on the surface, but most importantly, he needed to carefully observe this fellow disciple. If Yue Chen refuses, it's one thing, if Yue Chen hesitates, it's another thing, and if Yue Chen readily agrees, it's actually where the real variable lies. Chu Yunyi looked at Yue Chen, who had extremely fast hands, suddenly frowned, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Yue would be so talented!

Although Yue Chen comes from a peasant family, he is not stupid, and many things, he sees them with the eyes of a peasant family, but it is clearer. I know what this respected senior brother means by saying this. But he didn't dare to slack off and replied: "Thank you senior brother for your praise, I may be lucky!" When he spoke, Yue Chen had already skinned all the demon beasts.

Chu Yunyi nodded slightly, motioning for Yue Chen to stand beside him, only to see that as soon as he raised his hand, a green silk thread drilled into the ground, and then gently pulled, a rustic mud ball was pulled out. At this moment, a pale green light flew in, and the person who came was wearing a pale green and white robe, and when he saw Yue Chen, he was suddenly stunned. But quickly reacted, and Yu Chu Yun whispered a few words in his ear. Chu Yunyi didn't say anything, just raised his hand to signal, and the three of them left here one after another.
