For the next period of time, the big competition went on as usual, but for a while, no one dared to challenge everyone in the No. 1 ring.

In other rings, however, the battle became more intense than ever as the time left in Dabi became less and less.

However, the fights in these rings naturally could not attract the attention of the leaders on the high platform.

This year's big competition can be said to be wonderful and unprecedented, first Wang Ziyan and Gao Gong, the two newcomers shined, and then Wei Zheng defeated Gu Lin, the senior brother of the Tianlei Vein, and directly rushed into the top ten, but then he was seriously injured by Lin Xi, and his life and death are unknown.

The rumor that Lin Xi and Wei Zheng had already made a feud had already spread among the disciples, and it was impossible to hide it from a few leaders, but even if a few people were surprised, it was impossible to ask them face to face.

At this moment, Liu Fengtao appeared on the high platform again, and everyone hurriedly asked, "Is Master Wei's nephew okay?"

Liu Fengtao said, "Fortunately, my life was saved." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

Liu Fengtao said lightly, "In this big competition, the performance of Senior Nephew Lin, Senior Nephew Wang, Senior Nephew Gao and others is extremely good, and I am more confident in the next trip to the Tianhua Secret Realm." ”

"The real person in charge plans to let these newcomers enter the secret realm?" Qin Tianchang asked in surprise.

"This time to enter the secret realm, there are a total of twenty-four places in this sect, according to the rules, it should be the top twenty-four disciples of Dabi, but Rong'er has already gone down the mountain, and the vacated quota will be reserved for other disciples, as for Xu Zhen, although he was unable to participate in Dabi for some reason, the quota should still be reserved for him. Liu Fengtao said.

Dongfang Zhi suddenly asked: "The quota vacated by Gongsun Rong, I don't know what the senior brother in charge has planned?"

Fang Chengzu smiled and said: "What's there to hesitate about, naturally I have to give it to Wei Zhengxian's nephew!"

Yin Qi suddenly said: "Senior Brother Fang's words are probably inappropriate, Senior Nephew Lin and Senior Nephew Wei are obviously incompatible, if the two of them enter the secret realm at the same time, it will not be good for the overall situation." ”

Hearing this, Fang Chengzu said with some displeasure: "Then Senior Brother Yin, how do you think it should be distributed?"

"Naturally, it was selected from Gu Lin's nephew and Duan Yanyang's nephew. Qin Guan answered lightly.

"You don't have to discuss it anymore, Gu Lin and Duan Canyang are both senior brothers of the same lineage, their strength is undoubted, their qualifications to enter the secret realm are naturally there, as for Wei Zheng, he is injured like this, I am afraid he will not be able to go to the secret realm. Liu Fengtao said suddenly.

Fang Chengzu smiled and said, "There are still two years left before the secret realm opens, and no matter how serious the injury of Master Wei's nephew is, it should be able to heal." ”

Liu Fengtao shook his head and said, "His spiritual veins have been destroyed, even if he is injured, it is impossible for me to let him enter the secret realm." ”

"What!" the crowd was shocked.

They had long guessed that Wei Zheng's injuries were definitely not light, but they never thought that he would even have his spiritual veins destroyed!

For cultivators, the spiritual vein is the second life, and once the spiritual vein is destroyed, they will no longer be able to cultivate for the rest of their lives.

The crowd looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Liu Fengtao said with a straight face, "This secret realm dispute is related to the rise and fall of my Moisan Sword Mansion in the next ten years! Xu Zhen, Ji Gang, Qingshan, Ruan Yan, Gu Lin, Remnant Yang, Ying Xia and other disciples are already in the late stage of Jindan or Jindan Great Perfection realm, as long as they can gain something in the secret realm, this sect can add several more rank powerhouses within ten years! At that time, the situation of this sect will be very different from now!"

When the other people heard this, their expressions were all grim, and they hurriedly got up and said yes.

"Alright, it's not too late, and it's time for me to declare the end of Dabi. ”

After Liu Fengtao said this, he got up and stepped forward, looked at the disciples below and announced, "This big competition has ended, and the rewards will be distributed to you by the elders of each lineage, except for the first twenty disciples, the others should go back to their residences first." ”

Hearing the announcement of the real person in charge, all the disciples stopped their movements and bowed down, and those ongoing competitions had to be stopped.

Everyone left Tianlong Peak one after another, and in the blink of an eye, only Lin Xi and the top twenty disciples remained.

"The reason why I let you stay is that there is an important announcement, presumably the opening of the Tianhua Secret Realm, you have all heard about it, and some disciples have even participated in it once..."

Glancing at the twenty disciples, Liu Fengtao talked about the opening of the secret realm again.

Although Lin Xi and the others had known about the secret realm for a long time, they were still a little thrilled when they heard it at this moment.

The opening of the Tianhua Secret Realm is a grand event that swept the entire twenty-eight sects in Youzhou, and the heavenly and earthly treasures contained in the secret realm are coveted even by the great sects like the Seven Xuan Sword Sect, and it is a great opportunity for them to make a lot of money for the disciples of the sect, and many people hope to have another advance through this opportunity, or even step into the ranks!

In the next period of time, Liu Fengtao gave a few more instructions, and then dismissed the disciples.

After half a pillar of incense, Lin Xi returned to his residence and began to seriously think about the affairs of the secret realm.

In such a dangerous and unknown secret realm, it is probably not only cultivation that determines the harvest and life and death, but also luck plays a large role.

As an earth-based cultivator, Lin Xi has a great advantage over others in terms of finding heavenly and earthly treasures and avoiding dangers, and if he can collect all the materials of the dual-element heavy earth during this period, his strength will inevitably rise to a new level.

······

In a valley thousands of kilometers away from Moissan, a streamer of light galloped by, so fast that it was almost impossible to distinguish his figure.

The man was dressed in white, and the top was red, obviously stained with blood.

Behind him, more than a dozen figures shot out, their movements were uniform, and there was no sound between the movements, like a deadly ghost in the night.

The young man in white is none other than Xu Zhen.

And these people behind him were some loose cultivators who met when investigating the cause of Liang Tao's death a few days ago, and as soon as Fu looked at him, the other party suddenly attacked, and Xu Zhen almost didn't have time to react, and most of them were already killed and injured.

After that, there is a frenzied hunt that seems to be endless.

By now, the ten disciples brought out by Xu Zhen had all been killed in battle, and he himself was seriously injured, and his spiritual power was almost exhausted.

For cultivators, the moment their spiritual power is exhausted, the time of death will come.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Zhen's heart was like a knife, but the other party was good at cooperating and making endless killing moves, even if he was still at his peak, he didn't dare to say that he could defeat one of them, let alone now!

The place he is going to now is not Moissanjian Mansion, but a valley that he went to a few years ago when he was on a mission, where there are countless fierce beasts and many dangers, and only under this condition can he gain a glimmer of life.

But what made him wonder was that the valley in his memory should have arrived a long time ago, could he have misremembered the direction?

Just thinking like this, there was a sudden "boom" sound in his head, his body shook twice involuntarily, and his body suddenly seemed to be attracted by great force, and he fell involuntarily.

Xu Zhen was shocked, hurriedly pinched the trick, and flew upwards with all his might, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling behind him.

When he looked back, he saw a red rattan emerge from the ground like a poisonous snake and shoot at him.

Lightning-fast!

Before Xu Zhen could react, the rattan swept up his right leg, Xu Zhen was startled, swung his sword and slashed down, the rattan was as solid as a stone, and it didn't move at all.

Suddenly, the rattan dragged him forward quickly, passing through many bushes along the way, splitting his head and covering his face, the pain was scorching, and in a short time, his clothes were torn to pieces, and he was extremely embarrassed!

After half a pillar of incense, the rattan stopped advancing, and Xu Zhen looked at the ground that was at least ten meters away, dangling, and felt dizzy for a while.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at his situation, an old voice suddenly came into his ears, "Child, are you Xu Zhen from Moissan's Sword Mansion?"

Xu Zhen looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw an old man in a blood-red robe, half-lying on a blood jade bed, looking at him with a smile on his face.

The old man's face was wrinkled like the bark of a dead tree, it was hard to imagine how old he was, his body was originally very strong, but when he stepped down from the blood jade bed, he suddenly became tall again, and seemed to have the momentum of Mount Tai.

Xu Zhen was shocked in his heart, and once again swung his sword and slashed at the rattan, but this time the rattan suddenly retracted, Xu Zhen fell from a height of several meters, and fell on the thick pile of dead leaves, and the wounds all over his body came from severe pain, he couldn't help but scream, and immediately endured it.

He glanced at the red-robed old man not far away, and his heart beat wildly.

He hadn't noticed it before, but from his current point of view, the blood jade bed under the old man's feet was clearly suspended in mid-air at a height of one zhang, and there was a red liquid flowing on it, like human blood.

The old man smiled and spoke again, "Child, are you Xu Zhen?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhen stood up with pain and said, "It's Xu Zhen below, dare to ask the senior's honorable name?"

The old man smiled and said, "Old man Gu Lantian is just a native of the countryside. I ask you, if I save your life, will you give me your heart?"

"What!"

As soon as he heard this, Xu Zhen's heart suddenly swooped.

The old man glanced at him and said with a smile, "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

Xu Zhen was horrified, but still said, "How can the heart of a person be given away easily!"

When the old man heard this, the smile on his face became thicker, and he nodded and said, "Okay, the heart of a person, how can you give it away easily!"

He burst out laughing, mournful and poignant, like a ghost crying wolf.

Xu Zhen was secretly shocked in his heart, and at this time, the old man's laughter suddenly stopped, and a red light burst out of his eyes: "Since you don't give it, then I have to do it myself and dig out your heart..."

······

Dozens of kilometers north of Qixuan City, in an inconspicuous valley, a black shadow fell from the sky, this person wore a hat, covering most of his appearance, wearing a black robe, very tall.

As soon as this person appeared in the valley, he disappeared in a very strange way.

Immediately afterward, he appeared in a dark hole beneath the ground, with colorful streamers circulating on both sides of the cave wall, apparently full of prohibitions.

The black-robed man waved his hand and took out a bronze plaque and put it into a groove on the cave wall, and the colorful streamers on both sides of the cave channel rippled like water waves, and squeezed out a half-zhang wide corridor from the middle.

The black-robed man took out the bronze medal, and his body shot out, and after he entered, the corridor disappeared with a twist.

As the black-robed man turned and turned deeply, a space the size of several acres suddenly appeared underground, and there was a magma meandering in it, and after passing through the magma, dozens of simple tents of hundreds of square meters were faintly visible.

Hundreds of middle-aged men, standing or sitting, appeared on the square in front of the tent, all of them looking calm, just like ordinary people.

However, the moment the black-robed man arrived, these thousands of people stood up at the same time, exuding an extremely amazing murderous aura!

The black-robed figure was stunned, and hurriedly shouted loudly, "The second detachment Qian Hu has something important to report!"

Hearing this voice, the expressions on the faces of the group did not change in the slightest, but once again they stood or sit, and reined in their murderous aura to return to their previous state.

Under the deep hat, the black-robed man seemed to be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and he strode forward, his body turning into a streamer of light directly into a tent at the farthest distance.

"Oh, it turned out that Qian Hu was back. A middle-aged man with slightly pale temples let out a faint laugh when he saw the black-robed man.

"General Tian, you actually came in person!" The black-robed man was shocked when he heard the voice, he immediately realized something, and quickly knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly, "Humble to meet the general!"

The middle-aged man known as General Tian smiled slightly and said, "You are in a hurry, is there something wrong?"

"Return to the general! Young master, he missed. The black-robed man said a little nervously.

"What!" General Tian was taken aback and said in surprise, "Tell me what happened." ”

"Yes! Yesterday, the Moisan Sword Mansion Dabi, the young master, he had already won the sixth place, but he was seriously injured by a disciple named Lin Xi, and now his life and death are unknown. "The black robe is humane.

General Tian's heart jumped suddenly, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Moisan Sword Mansion is just a small sect, who is Lin Xi in your mouth?

"General Hui, this Lin Xi just entered the Sword Mansion three years ago, and he has not been famous, until the time of the big competition, the young master actually came out to challenge this person, and he guessed that the two of them should have a grudge a long time ago, so that's why..." The black robe is humane.

"Joke! The young master sneaked into the Moisan Sword Mansion not for personal grudges, you said that Lin Xi and the young master are the same disciples? The young master personally challenged him? Could he be the same person two years ago?" General Tian said thoughtfully.

"General Tian, the young master is seriously injured now, should we send someone to rescue him?" asked the black-robed man.

"Rescue, how to rescue, a Moissanjian Mansion is nothing, but if the operation is exposed because of this incident, how can I explain it to the general!" General Tian frowned and shouted.

"You can take someone to infiltrate the Sword Mansion, if there is no accident, you should..." The black-robed man said cautiously.

General Tian glanced at him and said earnestly, "If you can miss this little thing, he will not be our young master, even if you save him, what's the use!"

At this point, he waved his hand and said, "Go back and continue your previous mission, and I will report this matter to the general." ”

"Yes! Retire from your position!" The black-robed man seemed to want to say something, but when he heard General Tian's words, he could only bow his head.

After he withdrew from the camp, General Tian rubbed his forehead, as if he had a great headache, and at the same time breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

After a long time, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Lin Xi, don't blame me for being ruthless, you can only blame yourself for taking something you shouldn't have!"

He suddenly looked at a dark place in the corner of the camp tent, and said in a deep voice, "You have heard what you just said, you immediately take people to the Moisan Sword Mansion, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die!"
