The night, dark and deep, the dark red light in the pavilion seemed to be a layer of dried blood stains, still depressing!

Under the bright light, Shengwu Zhenjun and his eldest granddaughter Phoenix sat opposite each other, each with a cup of pale red herbal tea in front of them. The tea is very clear, with spiritual power flowing, like two blood-colored mirrors.

The atmosphere, it was peaceful!

"Phoenix, in the past five days, I have all those harvests, tell grandpa about them!"

"Hmph! The people promoted by Chen Tianhong at will, such as Wei, Chao, Wu, Ba, and others, are simply useless, how can they hold important posts in Tianwei? He wants to transform Phoenix Tianwei into his own 'Praetorian Guard'! I have already redeployed and promoted people to various important posts according to the wishes of several elders! As for Chen Tianhong's wanton 'troubleshooting' of those people, I have all dismissed them!"

"Well, do you know where the large number of people you dismissed went?"

"My grandson didn't care where they went. However, I heard that they collectively went to the 'Wolf Xu Peak' in the Outer Gate Realm. Wolf Xu Peak, a wild mountain peak that is deserted and exhausted, is very suitable for their useless people to settle down. ”

"How much do you know about the recent Wolf Xu Peak?"

"I heard that Cao Cao, who took refuge in Chen Tianhong, took people there to investigate. Hmph! Chen Tianhong himself is a useless person, what kind of ability can those who take refuge in him have? Looking at the entire sect, the only person who can compete with Senior Brother for the position of head of the sect is Honglian, the second disciple of Uncle Chungang. Others, not worth mentioning. It's impossible for us to put it in our eyes. ”

"So, do you think the contributions of the six of you to the sect are worthy of one Chen Tianhong?"

"This ......" The calm chat atmosphere suddenly changed, Yuan Fenghuang frowned slightly, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "That's his luck for a while." What's more, his little contribution, the six of us can surpass it by attacking casually. ”

"If I had already died in that raid on Qinglong Yuan, who do you think would have won?" Saint Martial True Monarch was very calm, without any emotional fluctuations when he spoke.

"He's a thief, it's really despicable!" Yuan Fenghuang was a little ignorant, not understanding what grandpa meant, and said bluntly: "Grandpa, what kind of attitude do you have towards him? In fact, the more merit he has, the more he has taken over his military power, and the discussion in private is very intense! Some people even say that you are afraid that Chen Tianhong will snatch your throne as the head of the sect, so you have to guard against it!"

"My position will definitely be occupied by talented and virtuous people in the future, and I am not afraid of being robbed. I might as well tell you, if I don't suppress and sharpen my character now, I'm afraid that before I die, all six of you will die at his hands. ”

"Just him?"

"Phoenix, tomorrow you go home and take Xiaofan to the sect. At that time, your Uncle Mingzhu will accept him as a disciple. ”

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end, and the grandfather and grandson picked up the teacups at the same time.

The night was getting darker and darker.

* * *

Chen Tianhong is in a good mood, his complexion is also very good, and his walking steps are very light. Walking on the Thousand Realms Plateau, from time to time someone will take the initiative to greet him, and he will politely return the salute.

Today, he didn't go to Baiyun Hall, but went straight to the Book Hall.

When he walked to the door of the study hall, a small head slowly poked out, and a mischievous smile appeared on a familiar face. Suddenly, a fleshy little hand beckoned to him.

Chen Tianhong's heart fluctuated, and he was very calm on the surface. He had seen this child, and it was the Yuan family. Appearing in the study hall at this moment, if he had put it aside, he would definitely not have figured it out, but now he had thought of it.

"Senior Brother Chongming, my master asked you to meet him!"

"Hmm!"

Chen Tianhong did not continue to speak, and walked into the quiet room of the study hall side by side with the little boy. Elder Mingzhu, as usual, was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Master Chongming's nephew, Xiao Fan is my eldest disciple, and the cultivation of the truth is called 'Lingming'. I decided to let him go to Chaoyang Peak to live and cultivate. After you finish reading the book today, help me take him over and settle down a little. ”

"Disciple obeys!" Chen Tianhong promised, and then praised: "Congratulations to Uncle Shi!"

Yuan Xiaofan, nine years old, has excellent cultivation qualifications. He is the second child of the Yuan family's generation to enter the sect to cultivate.

Chen Tianhong has no direct conflict of interest relationship with Yuan Xiaofan. Yuan Xiaofan's eldest brother Yuan Junliang, who "rejuvenated", has some inexplicable connections with Chen Tianhong.

In short, this is the old grudge and new favor between the Yuan family and the Chen family, and there are indeed a lot of involved. Between individuals and individuals, it is much lighter.

On that day, Chen Tianhong read the book for three hours, and when he left the study hall, he took Yuan Xiaofan to Chaoyang Peak together. The two chose to walk. Walking on the Chaoyang Mountain Road, there are not many topics. Half an hour later, the two came to a stone cave.

The stone cave is located to the north of Chaoyang Peak, with a small stream in front of it. A circular pool is formed in front of the main entrance of the cave. Obviously, the feng shui signs of this location are excellent.

This cave is about ten miles away from Chen Tianhong's cave.

"Senior Brother Lingming, at night, are you afraid alone?"

"I'm afraid!" Yuan Xiaofan showed a sly smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "I heard that your cave mansion, when you moved in, there was the remains of a sect predecessor inside. Were you scared?"

"Guess?"

"Don't be afraid! You are bold, you are not even afraid of powerful living people, how can you be afraid of a dead person!" When Yuan Xiaofan spoke, he took out a talisman and said softly: "Don't hide it from you, my master said that this cave of mine was where an ancestor of our Yuan family once lived." It is said that the secret in this cave is no less than the Heaven Opening Demon Sword in your cave. Do you know what it is?"

"Open Heaven Divine Axe!" Chen Tianhong frowned and said, "It is said that no one has been able to hold this ancient artifact so far. Your grandfather arranged for you to inherit this divine axe, I'm afraid there is some deep meaning. ”

"Hehe, Master said that your cleverness has long been beyond the imagination of others, and sure enough!" Yuan Xiaofan said, "Master said that the same treasure related to the Heaven Opening Divine Axe is hidden in the 'Nightmare Underground Palace'. Only those who obtain that supreme treasure can obtain the inheritance of the divine axe. So ,......"

"Your grandfather thinks you're the one who might get this chance?"

"Well, you want me to try my luck. However, listening to Master's meaning, regarding the matter of the Nightmare Underground Palace, it seems that there are different opinions among the nine major sects, and there are great differences. I'm afraid this matter will have to be delayed for a few days. Yuan Xiaofan quietly glanced around and said in a low voice: "My master also said that if you are willing, let you go and meet the Heaven Opening God Axe." ”

"No need. It belongs only to your monastic opportunities, and you can't easily let others covet it. Chen Tianhong paused and said, "Chaoyang Peak, located in the Jiuyang Mountain Range, is relatively quiet and deserted on weekdays, which is quite suitable for cultivation. Regarding the training place on weekdays, Uncle Shi must have made arrangements. Today, you should rest in peace, and don't delay the cultivation homework assigned by your uncle. ”

"Actually, you know a little bit about the Heavenly God Axe, right?" Yuan Xiaofan blinked his big smart eyes, "You should know that there is always some mystery in the ancient artifact. Don't hide it from you, when I came to the sect, my grandmother said that if you and I can't stand in front of the Open Heaven Divine Axe at the same time, then I will most likely be devoured by the Open Heaven Divine Axe. I think my grandfather and master also meant the same thing. ”

Chen Tianhong was silent for a while, his eyes slowly looked at the giant sword on his shoulder, and said, "That means, it has something to do with this sword?"

"It should be!"

"Open the door!"

Yuan Xiaofan took the talisman and pressed his feet on the talisman of the stone gate, and with a loud bang, the stone gate opened. Then, there was a loud bang in the cave, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, resounding through the sky.

A giant axe, hanging three feet from the stone gate, the axe body is bronze, exuding the atmosphere of desolation. The blade of the axe was like a crescent, about three feet and three inches wide, and it was rusty with nine strange notches. There was a red crack on the axe, like a bolt of lightning. The handle of the axe is thick, about the thickness of an adult's wrist, and about six feet six inches long. At the end of the handle is a withered, shriveled golden flower.

In an instant, the two people outside the door were deeply shocked. The two stood for a long time before they walked slowly into the cave door side by side and stood in front of the giant axe.

On the surface, there is nothing unusual about people, swords, and axes, and there are no supernatural phenomena. However, Chen Tianhong clearly felt that the sword on his shoulder was absorbing a mysterious power, causing the giant sword to become heavier and heavier.

In less than a moment, Chen Tianhong's cheeks were already beads of sweat.

Yuan Xiaofan on the side, his body couldn't help but tremble.

A moment later, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as if they had been amnestied. Then, both looked at each other at the same time.

It turned out that the feet of the two had already sunk three inches into the ground.

Those two pairs of footprints looked a little creepy and terrifying.

"Senior brother, guess how much this axe weighs?"

"According to the classics, there are 129,600 catties!"

Yuan Xiaofan grimaced, stepped forward lightly, held the handle of the axe tightly with both hands, and lifted it slightly, but it was actually carried on his shoulder. He suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, this axe weighs only twelve catties, nine taels and six coins. In order for this axe to regain the power of an ancient artifact, it is necessary to find such a treasure in the dungeon. ”

Chen Tianhong was silent.

"You should have thought of it. If this axe is really some kind of ancient artifact, with unpredictable divine power, how can it be placed in this place, no one cares. Yuan Xiaofan grinned and said, "My master said that you will soon think of the source of that power just now. You will also understand that if you don't bear ninety percent, I will be swallowed by that power. ”

"I understand!" Chen Tianhong nodded, turned around and walked out of the stone cave, "It's not early, you should rest early." ”

"Hey, you really don't want to invite me to join your 'Floating Cloud Division', do you?"

"Hmm......" Chen Tianhong couldn't help but look back, as if he had an epiphany, and said with a light smile: "I should have thought that nothing could be hidden from Master's eyes." Of course, if you want to join, I don't care. ”

Yuan Xiaofan grimaced and slammed the stone door shut.

Chen Tianhong shook his head, and when he wanted to fly with the sword, he realized that there was a strong abnormality on the giant sword's body. It seems that as long as the spiritual power is activated, the giant sword has a tendency to be uncontrollable.
