Chapter 258: Giving the Sword to the Sky

On this ancient road, one after another figures stood in front of the palace road, not moving. A piece of black pressing, as if waiting for something. The melodious sound of the ancient bell still echoes, as if the bell has penetrated the Tower of Atonement. In the dim iron tower, Mu Hao looked at the sword weapon that was broken in two, and was a little distressed.

This long sword, which had been with him for several months, could not withstand the impact of his sword qi and the demon beast after all, and broke into two. Sun Shuwei looked at Mu Hao, who looked distressed, and urged: "The bell has sounded, how long do you want to rub it out?"

"I'm wondering if there's something unlucky about the sword being broken. Mu Hao held the familiar hilt of the sword slightly, and said with some regret, listening to Mu Hao's unreasonable reason, Sun Shuwei's eyes darkened, untied the simple style of the long sword at his waist, and handed it to Mu Hao: "The name of the sword is Shetian!"

"I will insert it at the top of the Red Void Palace!" Mu Hao took the ancient sword that had been sealed for a long time. "And then confess to the most beautiful junior sister at the palace gate?" Sun Shuwei continued, pulling Mu Hao to run towards the corridor.

"Then at least tidy up some clothes, brother, do you have hot water?"

"What?"

"Bathe and change clothes, sharpen your sword and kill!".

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom. The fluttering snow flakes swayed in the sunlight, falling on tens of thousands of disciples of the Red Void Palace, and on tens of thousands of civilian monks. The scholar's straw hat was already covered with a blanket, and his head was slightly bowed, as if he was napping.

The young man in black gently pushed the scholar with his elbow, "The law enforcers are here." ”。

At the end of the ancient road, dozens of figures appeared, which instantly attracted the attention of countless Dao. Most of these people were the enforcers of the Red Void Palace, and the only thing they had in common was that they were dressed in moon-white palace robes, and several unsheathed swords were embroidered on the cuffs of their robes. There was a faint sword aura lingering in the middle, and the dozens of people walked slowly and unhurriedly, walking towards the cyan ancient steps that spread upward, only dozens of figures, but the aura that permeated their bodies enveloped the audience.

The leader is a middle-aged man who has escorted Mu Hao several times to the Tower of Atonement. The face under the eyes of the sword eyebrows was as cold as snow. Standing on the ancient steps, the middle-aged man's indifferent gaze swept across the audience, with majesty.

Under the gaze of this gaze, many people lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to look directly. Only scholars, black-clothed youths, Qin Zheng and others all looked at the middle-aged man quietly. The enforcers have appeared, which means that the palace examination is about to begin.

The sharp gaze swept over the scholar and the others, and the middle-aged man pointed to the ancient steps leading to Qingfeng behind him, "The rules of this year are still the same as in previous years. Perhaps some of you are new to this year. However, if you attach importance to the palace examination in your heart, I believe that you also know the rules of the palace examination by heart, and I will not continue to talk nonsense. ”。

Although the mountain wind was urgent, the voice of the middle-aged man overshadowed the sharp sound of breaking the wind, and it was transmitted to everyone's ears very clearly. Countless people raised their heads and looked at this tall and majestic mountain, even if it was covered with a layer of snow, it could not hide its edge. Most of the old people had a look of apprehension on their faces. Obviously, during the palace examination last year, this mountain standing in front of them left a lot of shadows, but the newcomers were a little unimpressed, isn't it just mountaineering, what are the difficulties?

Although this mountain path was a bit rugged, for most immortal cultivators, no matter how rugged the mountain path was, it could not stop their progress. Beneath the snowy peaks, there was a dead silence. Many law enforcers stood on both sides, completely displaying their cyan ancient steps in everyone's sight.

The scholar raised his straw hat slightly and said to the black-clothed young man: "Let's go, take advantage of the time, and you can rest on the mountain for a while in the morning." ”。 With his sleeves slightly behind him, the scholar held the scroll, as if he was going out to climb the mountain to watch the scenery, and stepped on the cyan steps at will.

The young man in black followed with an expressionless face, and secondly, Qin Zheng, Shi Yongxin, Ji Sheng and others also set off. There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and those old people who had palpitations gritted their teeth slightly, raised their steps and took a step forward, and suddenly the mighty crowd climbed towards the majestic mountain.

It's just that when someone stepped on the ancient steps, they immediately discovered the strangeness in it. A surging force roared between heaven and earth, like thousands of troops rushing forward. Many of the referencers did not even fully step on the first step, and the whole person flew upside down.

Only at this time did everyone realize that on the seemingly calm steps in front of them, it seemed to be a giant beast crawling on the ground, and once anyone stepped on it, they would be attacked by the giant beast, and they would either die or be injured.

Outside the dead tower of atonement, several figures appeared. The two law enforcers, escorting a somewhat embarrassed disciple of the Red Void Palace, walked over the high wall, and one of the older law enforcers complained: "Today's palace exam, if it wasn't for escorting this kid, how could he miss the opportunity to go to the Void Peak with the adults!"

"But no, it's always more interesting to watch the picture of hundreds of people being blown down over there than here!" Another law enforcer heard this, and kicked the disciple of the Red Void Palace who broke the law: "Good palace examination, your kid is idle and hurts, and he still hurts at this critical moment." ”。

The disciples of the Red Void Palace, who were originally a little embarrassed, could only endure this kick, but when they saw the hideous Tower of Atonement, their faces were still covered with a little panic: "Two Lord Law Enforcers, entering the Tower of Atonement, is there really only one way to die?"

"Do you think the name of the grave of death is an exaggeration? Even a month ago, the young man named Mu Something, who was lucky enough to walk out of the Tower of Atonement, died in the Tower of Atonement. The older enforcer looked at him indifferently, and the disciple of the Red Void Palace who was escorted by himself glanced at him and replied lightly.

"Crunch!" there was a sound in the long-silent Tower of Atonement, and the closed iron door slowly opened. This scene made the two law enforcers look stunned, but this stunned look instantly became extremely shocking. A figure dressed in white like snow, in the endless darkness of the Tower of Atonement, slowly walked out, standing in the sun, his clothes fluttering.

Opening his eyes slightly, Mu Hao raised his eyes to look at the snow floating in the sky: "It's snowing!"

Immediately, Mu Hao noticed the three figures standing in front of him, and when he saw these two law enforcers, looking at the somewhat familiar faces, Mu Hao's mouth pursed a bright smile, and chuckled: "Two, long time no see." ”。

As soon as the words fell, Mu Hao stepped out, carrying the ancient sword on his back, and walked forward without hurrying. Mu Hao's steps were very light, light on the snow, leaving no traces. It wasn't until Mu Hao's figure disappeared from the sight of the three of them that the two law enforcers reacted from the initial shock, and their expressions were as if they had seen ghosts.

Looking at the two law enforcers with shocked expressions on their faces, the Red Void Palace disciple asked with some confusion, "Who is he?"

"Mu Hao!" These two words seemed to drain all the strength of the whole body, and let the air freeze with it.

The halls of the Chixu Palace in the early morning afterglow were extremely silent, even when Mu Hao passed by Yanwu Square, he only saw the snow on the ground that rose with the wind. When the snow-covered majestic peak reappeared in Mu Hao's sight, Mu Hao stopped on the ancient road.

Looking at the plum blossoms blooming in the wind on both sides, Mu Hao's state of mind is as quiet as this plum blossom. Looking through the swaying wind and snow, Mu Hao's eyes were extremely firm, and his emaciated body was like a sharp sword, about to crash into the wind and snow.

This peak is the Void Peak, and the end of the long cyan ancient steps is the top of the Red Void Palace. There, there are more than 1,000 stone platforms that occupy the size of several zhang square circles, and they are arranged on it in turn to step on the outer gate of the thousand, hundred, and ten, and win the championship.

The slush on the ancient steps had melted, revealing a puddle of water. At the same time, there are still pools of eye-catching blood stains on the snow, and there are some embarrassed figures curled up on the snow, and there are also many excellent references, who are still holding on to the cyan ancient steps, but their bodies are as if they are under the pressure of several mountains, and it is difficult to take another step.

On the stone platform, the middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, looking indifferently at these disciples of the Red Void Palace who were curled up on the ground, most of these people had broken their hands and feet, and even fainted a little, but they did not pay attention to the law enforcers.

The only things that can make the law enforcers care are those reference personnel on the mountain road, and sometimes several law enforcers climb the road, and after a while, they carry the stunned contestants over. There are also new contestants who are hesitating whether to endure the terrible pain and climb this mountain trail.

"Quiet!" was dead silence all around, except for the whistling of the cold wind. In the end, many newcomers stayed aside and decided to give up this path, and then whispered.

"It is rumored that there is a terrifying placket on this mountain road, which is built by several strong people in the combined period, and if you do not cultivate well, you will inevitably be hit by terror when you climb the mountain road. ”。

"It's not just the formation, I heard that this mountain road is walked by many strong people of the Red Void Palace, and its breath remains on it, forming the coercion of today. ”。

"Now, Senior Brother Dongbo Xueying should be coming to an end. It's a pity, if it weren't for the Prince of Qin Zheng to win the Chixu Palace this time, he would definitely have a big battle with Senior Brother Dongbo Xueying, and we could only stand here and wait for the result, alas. ”。

Time passed slowly in the wind and snow swaying overhead, and just as many references were whispering and getting more and more prosperous, and the scene gradually developed in the direction of noise, suddenly there was a footstep sounding at the end of the ancient road. The footsteps were soft, but they overpowered the melodious music and the whispers of the crowd.

Suddenly, many contestants subconsciously turned around and looked at the end of the ancient road. The whispering voice dissipated a lot in vain, and even the middle-aged man standing on the stone platform raised his head slightly, and looked indifferently at the place where the footsteps came, at this time, there was still a reason to participate in the palace examination?

Although there is no time limit for the palace examination, the first ray of dawn in the morning is the beginning of the palace examination when it shines in the Chixu Palace, and when the last afterglow of the remnant sun dissipates, it is the end of the palace examination, but for the belated apology, the middle-aged people are still tired of it. Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, I saw that at the end of the ancient road, in the afterglow of the morning sun, a figure that seemed to be otherworldly, white clothes and snow, stepping on the wind and snow, appeared in everyone's sight like a fairy coming to the world.

"Mu Hao?" his gaze was fixed on the figure of the white-clothed Shengxue, and the middle-aged man was as majestic as the unmoved body of the mountains. At this moment, he trembled violently, and his indifferent expression was like a snowflake melting in the sun.

"Mu Hao!" pouted at this somewhat unfamiliar and familiar name, many references, first a little confused, and then all looked stunned. The dust can hide the cold light of the sword, but it can't hide its edge, and even if some people leave, when he reappears, his edge will tear apart the shackles of memory.
