Between the Liuhe, within the four seas, it was called the boundary of the south of the earth by the human monks, and was named Yangzhou. It belongs to the realm of fire, naturally bounded by a well-defined hot equator. Beyond this equator, there is an endless stream of hot barren mountains. In the barren mountains of the state, there are mysterious and treacherous, there are no surprises, there is no lack of flood relics, bloodthirsty flowers and trees, clouds.

So far, the area that the Terran monks can enter is only a hundred miles. Further, even if it was a Jindan Realm cultivator, it would be difficult to deal with it. People call this distance of the wilderness mountain range the Great Flame Barren Mountain. In this dangerous and sinister environment, it is naturally not important what it is called, the important thing is to have the courage to enter, and to be mentally prepared for not being able to get out.

Here, day is no different from night. Because whether it's day or night, the god of death will come unexpectedly. However, for monks who have been away for many years, they prefer the evening more than the day.

At night, the heat is still hot, and there is no wind at all. Edgeworth's volley is like standing on a steam stove, becoming a gathering point for an infinite heat wave. Walking in the red-hot barren mountains, there is still a trace of "coolness".

It was night, and a figure walked slowly on the top of the bleak and hot mountain. He didn't have any goals, he just walked forward at will. The cold light of the Ice Divine Sword in his palm flashed, and the cold breath was transmitted into the master's body, minus a little heat. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, his eyes flashed, and he looked to the other side of the hill.

"Such a coincidence? As soon as I came, I ran into someone! Listening to this gasp, I'm afraid it won't work!" This person spoke easily, and seemed to have no surprise or sentimentality about the addition of another corpse in Yangzhou.

"Ahem......!" another low cough, hoarse, almost beastly roar.

"Doesn't look like he's dead!" the man muttered. After thinking about it for a moment, Edgeworth walked in the direction of the coughing sound.

It is a small col, just in the middle of the shady side of the same hill. There was no sound except the struggles of the dying man. After the figure was sure that no one was there, Edgeworth landed lightly and looked at the people on the ground with the sword in his hand.

I saw that this person was bleeding from all his orifices, layers of black mucus were oozing from his body, and the color of his clothes was also jet black. An indescribable fishy smell enveloped his body, but it did not go away. Both hands clenched the hilt of the sword, and the whole sword was pressed under him, and it was difficult to see the whole picture.

"Awesome, awesome, awesome!" the black shadow man shook his head and said to himself: "In the face of such a powerful poison, you can still be so strong and persistent, you are still powerful!"

The Shadow Man didn't seem to be a compassionate person, and after sighing alone for a while, he found a wooden stick and gently flipped the man on the ground. Suddenly, the whole person was stunned on the spot. The dark shadow man's eyes flashed with a strange light, like a frightened demon beast in the night.

His gaze was fixed on the sword. The sword body is three feet long, the blade is seven inches wide, and there are straight colorful streamers on the sword body, which flow slowly like water lines, and the colorful light at the tip of the sword gathers, faintly forming a Taiji rune.

"Seven Void Swords!" the Black Shadow Man exclaimed, "Could it be that this person is Senior Brother Chongxu? How is this possible?

The shadow man's body began to tremble violently, and with a slight sway, he slowly approached and leaned over to look at the man. This person was unrecognizable, only a Tai Chi sigil on his chest protected his heart, and countless black qi frantically impacted the sigil. On closer inspection, there was a faint golden lotus in the Tai Chi rune, and its light was weakening.

"It's really the Origin Golden Lotus Holy Recipe of the Yuqing Lineage!"

After the black shadow man confirmed, he took out a spirit pill without hesitation. There is a bright Taiji pattern in the center of this elixir, and there is a faint green qi suspended on the outer layer, and the light can capture the glow of the sun and the moon. The Black Shadow Man shook his head and said softly, "Thanks to this sixth-order elixir that has been passed down from the secret lineage, the Yuheng Shouyuan Immortal Pill. Otherwise, even if the Great Luo Immortal descends, it will be useless. ”

The black shadow man carefully subdued the person who called him to be a void, and in less than a moment, the Tai Chi sigil on his chest gradually shone brightly, and the layers of black qi quickly receded. The black shadow man took out another purple gourd and poured a few large mouthfuls before feeling relieved. Suddenly, he gently lifted the man and the sword, and headed towards a higher mountain range.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a hidden cave, and the black shadow man gently put down the person in his hand and got into it with a cat body. After a while, he came out again, but he took a long breath. Again the man entered the cave. The heat in the cave is unbearable. The shadow man took out two pieces of ice, one on the forehead of the man on the ground, and one in his palm.

In silence, the earth returned to its incomparable tranquility.

It wasn't until two hours later that the silence was broken by a violent cough. One of them turned over and sat up, and hurriedly shouted, "Where is my sword!" No one answered, so he could only quietly look at the dark shadow man beside him.

"Who are you?"

"Senior Brother Chongxu, are you awake?" asked the Shadow Man slowly.

"Hmph! Why do you want to save me when you ask someone to get rid of me? Do you want me to wag my tail and beg for mercy?"

"Oh, I guessed right. The black shadow man slowly turned sideways, the two swords on the ground were reflected on his face, and the heroic spirit was even stronger, and he said, "Senior brother, do you still know me?"

"Senior Brother Yue Chen?" Chong Xuan almost jumped up, but he still stopped the excitement in his heart, quieted himself, shook his head and said, "Why did you appear here?" It stands to reason that you should refine talismans and spirit pills, hide far away, and cultivate with a pure heart!"

"Senior brother, you don't welcome me so much?" Yue Chen said with a smile, "Senior brother's Taoism is really profound, and after receiving that kind of strange poison, he can still support and escape." I'm ashamed, although I helped you detoxify, but I don't know the strange poison!"

"Alas! If I die so unexplained, how can I be worthy of the cultivation grace of my teacher? I am not afraid of the jokes of my junior brother, I don't want to die for the time being, I still want to see the true face of the master who has never returned from Zhoushan! It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and everything caught me off guard, which led to the situation of dying Jedi. ”

"Forgive the senior brother for his ignorance, judging from the poisoning of the senior brother, the familiarity of the poisoned person with the poison is beyond imagination, but from the fact that the senior brother can still escape after being poisoned, it seems that the path of the poisoned person is determined to be under the senior brother. In this Yangzhou territory, if it is said that with the cultivation of the senior brother, someone can be poisoned unexpectedly, I really don't believe it. ”

"What the junior brother said is right! In this life-and-death danger, even those who have cultivated to a high level will never relax in the slightest!" Chong Xuan sighed, "I was attacked by a masked man and was seriously injured, and the masked man called the poison master and gave me a strange poison called the 'Hundred Poison Golden Pill'. ”

"Interesting! Killing people is not a low head! Since the sneak attack is successful, it is necessary to poison and kill the senior brother, isn't this an extra move? If this is the case, then there can only be one explanation, it was his own people who did it!"

"When my junior brother rescued me, it didn't matter who attacked me anymore!" Chong Xuan said with a melancholy expression, "However, he is not the only one who really wants my life. ”

"Senior brother, don't think nonsense!" Yue Chen comforted, "Although Senior Brother Zhang's intention is indeed to take you down, he is definitely not the one who wants your life!

"Haha! Sad, right?" Chong Xuan said with a crying smile: "Since the elder retired, Chu Yunyi has been openly and secretly wanting Cao Shen to be in charge of the Wind Thunder Hall. If it weren't for my master's strength, I wouldn't have had a chance to take charge of the Wind Thunder Hall. Later, I found out that even though I was nominally in charge of the Wind Thunder Hall, I was still overshadowed by Cao Shen and Bi Qi. In the end, only an empty shell remained. ”

"Cao Shen?Bi Qi?" Yue Chen said in a lost voice, "These two are the second and fourth disciples of the Pure Heaven True Sect?"

"Exactly! The three disciples of the master are named Han Yi! These three people have never shown up since they were accepted as their own disciples by the master master! They have not even participated in the great trials of the sect! Just three days before this elders' meeting, the three of them went out at the same time, and their cultivation was all at the peak of the Nine Levels of the Divine Evolution Realm. Go straight to the Deacon of the Wind Thunder Hall. ”

"Hey, this is amazing, since these three mysterious senior brothers have just come out, then why do you say that two of them have set you up?"

"Because the Wind Thunder Hall has set up one and two deputies, many times, the head of the sect directly dispatches the manpower of the Wind Thunder Hall in the name of which two people!" Chong Xuan smiled bitterly, "Senior brother should understand my silence in the Eastern Emperor Ghost Domain!"

"Sensational!" Yue Chen said speechlessly, "There is a struggle within your own sect, no wonder the two veins of Yuqing and Shangqing have never shown signs of the outside world." This Chu Dazhang Sect really makes people don't know the true face of Lushan! Ashamed, ashamed!"

"If it weren't for Master's earnest advice before leaving, I really wanted to take the initiative to resign as the elder of the Wind Thunder Hall and be at ease like a junior brother. Chong Xuan sighed and said, "Senior Brother Yue, you may not understand a truth - behind the glory, there is all sadness and bitterness. ”

"Senior brother, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know!" Chong Xuan finally lowered his noble head, and the atmosphere in the cave was about to solidify.

Yue Chen patted Chong Xu's shoulder lightly and said, "Actually, I also know a little bit. Although the sect is a three-vein lineage, in addition to the Taiqing lineage, which is thin and does not divide the veins, the Yuqing and Shangqing two veins still have their own branches. For example, Elder Qihong of the Yuqing lineage and Elder Yehan of the Shangqing lineage are the branches of their respective veins. The situation of the sect is so complicated, but it can be passed down for thousands of years, which shows that the heritage of a sect is really not something to talk about casually.

At present, Yuqing and Shangqing have focused their respective energies on internal fighting, which has made my Taiqing First Pulse repeatedly shine externally.

The foolish brother privately thinks that if the senior brother focuses on the outside and ignores the inside, maybe there will be new gains. ”

"Senior brother is saying that 'unpreparedness is great defense'?" Chong Xuan was already very smart and talented, and immediately heard Yue Chen's words, shook his head and sighed: "It's really 'the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused'." No wonder, the junior and younger brothers can always do things in a good way. In the sect, except for Chong Zhen and others who support me, only my junior brother supports me. This time something like this happened again, I was haggard, and it was difficult to continue. ”

"If you give up, who can help you! As the saying goes, 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge', as long as the heart is determined, there will always be a day when the clouds will open and see the sun. ”

Chong Xuan paused, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, are you willing to help me?"

"Then it depends on how to help?"

"I want thirty spiritual materials that can be from the Pure Realm to the Divine Evolution Realm, and another twelve spiritual materials that can quickly improve the Dao of the Divine Evolution Realm. ......”

"So real?" Yue Chen laughed loudly and said, "You are too ruthless! Just now, I saved your life with the Yuheng Shouyuan Elixir, you can't forget this!"

"I said, no wonder I woke up and felt that the Tao was refined again. Chong Xuan said, "Senior brother, I don't have to say it, including this elixir that is not spread in the Taiqing vein, plus what I just mentioned, you can make a price!"

"Senior brother, your situation is not very good now, don't say that I take advantage of the danger of others and do the things of villains!" Yue Chen muttered, "I can only give half of the spiritual materials you mentioned just now, plus an immeasurable six-grade elixir." I won't think about it, it's worth a total of fifteen fifth-order high-grade demon pills. ”

"It's so expensive!" Chong said in a lost voice, "This value, there will be no more than five people in the sect who can afford it." I really don't have the resources. ”

"It's okay! Since I promised to help you, then I owe it first, and you don't forget it later! Anyway, after you have experienced this catastrophe, you will definitely go to find trouble with the Hundred Poison Alliance! I think that with the flamboyant actions of the Hundred Poison Alliance, there are still some private goods. You shouldn't be in arrears for long, either. Yue Chen said with a smile. Later, he gave Chong Xuan spiritual materials and continued: "The sky is getting brighter, I want to go first! Senior brother, you have to take care of yourself! I suggest you return to Tianzhu Peak immediately!"

Chong Xuan put away the spiritual materials, picked up his divine sword Seven Void Sword, and suddenly asked, "Senior Brother doesn't want to see anyone, could it be that he came here on the order of Senior Brother Lu?"

"I already knew that I couldn't hide it from you, but you still said it!" Yue Chen shook his head and said, as soon as he got up, two cold lights suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he sat down quietly. I only heard a few heavy voices shouting outside: "Senior Brother Chongxu......"

There was a voice that Yue Chen was familiar with, because it was the sound of punching.

"It seems that I have to go first!" Chong Xuan smiled faintly, got up and left, and when he left the cave, he said in a low voice: "Senior brother, you must be careful who is! Since this elders' meeting, you and I have become anyone's confidants!"

Yue Chen nodded and said, "Senior brother, let's go out and change your clothes first!

Chong laughed and left, a fluttering word echoing through the cave.

"Slippery head!"

After a while, a few heavy footsteps fell to the ground, and a few hurried voices kept asking the senior brother and the senior brother.

Chong Xuan said, "Have you ever seen anyone else in the Wind Thunder Hall?"

Chong Zhen replied: "Wei and Zhang said that the senior brother left alone. At this moment, the two of them were with Su Shi and the others, and they were tracking down a few scattered cultivators with strange whereabouts. As for the people of the Shangqing lineage, there is no need to say more!" After a pause, he said, "Senior brother, what happened to you? What should we do next?"

"Back to the mountain!"

The people outside the cave quickly left, but the people inside the cave were stuck with their chins in their hands and fell into deep thought. After a long time, a voice sighed:

"It's hard to draw a dragon and a tiger, and you don't know your heart!"
