Sword Shrine.

Compared with the magnificent and majestic immortal scene of the Sword Pavilion on the ground, this sword mound is like hell, it looks extremely gloomy, and there is often a chill on the cheeks, which makes people's flesh and blood tense.

As Mu Xunli said, the sword mound is the place where the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion and the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion are buried, perhaps, it should be such a scene.

And the disciples of the Sword Pavilion who thought that they were lurking in all corners of the Southern Regions after being dispersed had been hiding in the Sword Shrine from beginning to end. The disciples of the Sword Pavilion who occasionally appeared in the Southern Regions or in the Outer Regions were just a means used by the Sword Pavilion to confuse outsiders.

"Long time no see, Brother Leng. ”

There is a young man in white, who bows his hand to Leng Xiao slightly, smiling, and a humble gentleman. Even if he is mean and withdrawn like Liao Mian, if he sees it for the first time, he may not be able to speak ill of such a young man.

There was a wind blowing, and Leng Xiao thought that he was a little used to this coldness, but at this time, it was inevitable that he still had a chill down his spine. He was still calm in his heart, and only said, "Brother Qiao, don't come unharmed." ”

In front of him, the person who greeted him with a smile and his clothes flew was none other than Mu Xunli's personal disciple, Qiao Zhiyi.

Leng Xiao was silent, and a slight and hoarse murmur came from behind him, whether it was a disciple of the Blue Scar Sect or a Gu cultivator, they were all lying on the ground at the moment, covering their throats, their faces were bleak and hideous, as if they were enduring great pain.

"You're lucky you don't have to go through this pain. "Onitouta's ugly face was distorted by laughter, making it even uglier. Leng Xiao didn't fluctuate at all, maybe he was used to seeing this ugliness, or maybe because any emotions seemed meaningless.

Compared to others, Cold Moon's reaction was a little more flat, perhaps due to her personality. And beside her, Chu Tiankuo had already roared regardless of his face, anyway, he was not the only one who roared, and he didn't have to worry about enduring the pain. Like Gu Xiu, when he roars, if there is no one around, his voice is high-pitched and loud.

As if because he had lost face in front of the person he admired, or because he couldn't get used to Leng Xiao's indifferent attitude, Chu Tiankuo pointed at Leng Xiao and gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Senior Brother Leng, why do we all have to take poison, but you don't have to be like this? What is the unsavory relationship between you and Ghost Head Tuo, I'm afraid you have to wait for me to give an explanation!"

Don't say that the other elders of the Blue Scar Sect, that is, Han Yue and Qiu Yansheng, also focused slightly. Maybe Qiu Yansheng was just curious, and he didn't care about the words that would come out of Leng Xiao's mouth next. And the cold moon should be concerned.

The little starlight that appeared in her eyes was particularly dazzling in this gloom. The Devil Head is ambitious, and if he wants to conquer the world, he must have enough available people. And here, whether it was an elder of the Blue Sprint Sect or a Gu cultivator, they were all rare talents, how could he let it go easily? So, he handed poison to everyone one by one. But whoever drinks the poison will live. The ghost head didn't say much, but once he took the poison, the fate can be imagined.

And those who do not want to take poison do not have to think about the end, and they are falling to the ground. Compared with the dozens of people who took poison, there were only three people who fell to the ground, one person from the Blue Mark Sect, and two Gu Xiu. The elder of the Blue Scar Sect was quite old, and even if he didn't die at the moment, he wouldn't live long, so he chose to be heroic and saved the evening.

And the rest of the people, no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring they are on weekdays, still choose to compromise when they live and die. No one wants to live on their knees, but it is better to live than to die.

When everyone took poison and fell to the ground to endure the pain, the ghost head seemed to have forgotten Leng Xiao and never handed over the poison, which was inevitably suspicious. What's more, Leng Xiao has a bad reputation among the sects, and at this moment, many elders of the Blue Scar Sect are glaring at him angrily, and they don't know if their faces are because of hatred for him or the pain of poison.

Leng Xiao didn't speak, but Ghost Head Tuo laughed and answered for him, patted Leng Xiao's shoulder gently like an old friend, and said slowly: "Young man, don't be unconvinced, the poison in Leng Xiaoyou is far greater than Er's." ”

"What you take is just the poison that this seat asked for in the Eastern Regions, and the poison in Leng Xiaoyou is the ghost-faced spider venom. ”

Ghost Toutuo showed a hint of a smile and said: "As the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, as long as you obey the orders of this seat in the future, you will definitely not worry about your life." After this throne is called the king and the emperor, you will be a venerable prince, glorious and rich, and enjoy inexhaustible!"

A look of disdain flashed on the face of one of the elders, as if they scoffed at his promise. He only said indifferently: "Since you have received the poison, don't pretend to be high in front of this seat." ”

From beginning to end, whether it was Qiao Zhiyi or the other elders of the Sword Pavilion, their faces were always calm, because what these people in front of them were going through, they had all experienced.

Qiao Zhiyi wiped the simple long sword in his hand, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, as if he couldn't put it down. After the Golden Armor Dragon Sword was lost, it was temporarily replaced by the Sword Pavilion Lord's token. After Mu Xunli died, he sat on the throne of the pavilion master in a grand manner.

Leng Xiao's eyes lightly crossed Ying Xiao's face, and suddenly said, "I'm afraid that Ying Xiao's senior's situation is not good. ”

Ying Xiao's eyes were nailed to Leng Xiao's body like nails for a moment, and he said coldly: "Junior, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”

And Ghost Toutuo just watched this scene calmly from the side, and it was difficult to hide the smile on his face.

Only a moment later, the group left the sword mound and returned to the great hall on the ground unharmed. The people who were originally tense are at peace at the moment. And this result is only because of the ghost head's sentence "not allowed".

Before leaving the sword mound, the words of the ghost head were still echoing in everyone's ears: "After today, this seat will call itself the ghost king." In the future, don't make a mistake. ”

He calls himself the Ghost King instead of the Ghost Demon King, that is, the subordinates he relies on are no longer limited to the demon clan. No matter how many demons there are, it is difficult to reach one-twelfth of the human race, and if you have the heart to win the world, you must first have the heart to tolerate the world.

Leaving the main hall, Chu Tiankuo swallowed the antidote in one gulp, and glanced at Leng Xiao coldly. There were many elders who did the same, but none of them spoke sarcastically. Fifty steps to laugh and a hundred steps to show stupidity.

In the sword mound, Qiao Zhiyi stepped forward and said to Ghost Head: "Ghost King, Leng Xiao is good friends with Lingque Valley, I'm afraid there is a way to detoxify." ”

Ghost Head Tuo only said indifferently: "Even if Lin Xi takes action personally, it will not happen overnight if he wants to unravel this poison. As long as you change the configuration every three years, you can do it. With a casual movement of her fingers, all the efforts she had made in front of her were useless. ”

"The Ghost King is wise. Qiao Zhiyi bowed down and flattered, but obviously, Ghost Head Tuo is not a person who likes to listen to people's whiskers and pat horses, and his eyes are impatient.

An elder looked at Liao Mian and said expectantly, "Elder Liao, do you have a method for detoxification?"

Liao Mian didn't say a word from the moment he took the poison, and he always frowned. At this moment, listening to someone's inquiry, I couldn't help but spit out a breath of turbidity, and my eyes were slightly trance-like.

Leng Xiao only glanced at her expression, and knew that there would be no result. Sure enough, I only heard Liao Mian say: "The old body can't do anything." ”

The elder suddenly became excited, and his face turned red: "Is it possible that we will be at the mercy of such monsters?"

He gritted his teeth, looking for a high-sounding excuse for his previous poisoning. But after hearing that Liao Mian was powerless, he didn't see him commit suicide here.

Han Yue was silent for a long time, glanced at Liao Mian, and said, "Can I seek help from Spirit Bird Valley?"

Liao Mian shook his head again: "Since Ghost Head Tuo is so confident, it will definitely not be so easy to detoxify." This poison is the poison of the Eastern Regions, which is strange and unpredictable. This change is even more difficult unless the person who refines the poison wants to solve it. ”

Chu Tiankuo suddenly changed his words, looked at Leng Xiao and said: "Senior Brother Leng has long been poisoned by ghosts and spiders, and he has been quiet all these years, who knows how many things he has done to endanger the sect in secret, and it has been in vain for the sect master and the great elder to trust you!"

As soon as he said this, several people immediately glared at Leng Xiao angrily, and the rest of the people also had complicated eyes. It's Qiu Yansheng, looking at his expression, I'm afraid I want to ask why.

Leng Xiao only said calmly: "Since Senior Brother Chu is okay to go to the sect master to denounce it, Senior Brother will never stop it, nor will he say anything about your poisoning." ”

Chu Tiankuo's face was a little ugly, and he didn't trust Leng Xiao, he only snorted coldly, taking this as a threat, his tone softened a little, and said: "It's not good for anyone to lose both, if you accept it, you will be safe." In my opinion, it is not appropriate for us to divulge the matter of taking poison, as long as we do not do anything that endangers the sect, with this link, it has become a dependent of us lurking around the ghost head. ”

An elder chimed in: "Exactly, the ghost head is ambitious, and someone must make sacrifices. ”

Someone worried: "What if Gu Xiu's mouth is not strict?"

"Elder Li doesn't have to worry, these Gu cultivators are even afraid of death, how can they leak the secret? Once the secret is leaked, what awaits them can only be life rather than death. ”

On the ground, it was not as cold as in the sword mound.

When they went back, Qingjian Zhenren and the others were still fighting. Looking at the demeanor, it is not easy. I came here today, just to give an explanation to the dead disciples of the Blue Scar Sect, and when I saw Leng Xiao and the others return, this battle was over.

Leng Xiao noticed that Cang'er, who was originally light and breezy, had always seen his eyes fall on Han Yue since Han Yue's return, and his eyebrows were clenched.

On the way, Qingjian Zhenren asked, "Have you already removed the Gu worms?"

Leng Xiao said: "Sect Master, we didn't do anything, we only brought the Gu Jar back, and it was all up to the Sect Master's decision. ”

All the way, no one spoke, and one side was silent. Even the Qingjian Zhenren also noticed a hint of unnaturalness, frowned and swept over everyone, and his eyes swept over the face of the hateful Yansheng. Qiu Yansheng only said that there were elders who died in front of him but were unable to save them, and he felt guilty.

Regardless of others, he is a true disciple of Qingjian. For a while, many people set their eyes on Qiu Yansheng, and they intertwined with each other.

After returning to the sect, he took out thousands of large vats in the open space of the Blue Mark Sect. After all the disciples retreated, Qingjian Zhenren opened the first vat, which was the first vat Leng Xiao discovered.

While everyone was waiting, the tank was always calm. At a glance, I realized that the inside of the tank was empty. Leng Xiao had a guess in his heart.

Qingjian Zhenren only flicked his sleeves and easily crushed this vat into powder. I opened the second vat, and suddenly there was a heartbeat-like sound in the vat, calm and powerful. A claw of mud poked out of the mouth of the tank, and a large mud egg slowly crawled out of it.

This Gu worm looked similar to the Flame Gu Mother who was lying on the roof of the Library Pavilion at that time, but it was covered with a large piece of soil.

Leng Xiao suddenly said: "I heard Gu Xiu unintentionally mention it before, this Gu worm seems to be called the 'Five Elements Gu Worm'. ”

The real people of the green sword uncovered dozens of mud seals in a row, and there were those who drilled out the insects and pigs, including those who were covered with fire, those who were clothed with water, those who were clothed with soil, those who were clothed in wood, and those who were clothed in gold, which was majestic and intimidating for a while.

However, before these Gu worms could make a difference, they were killed by the Qingjian real person with a few swords. Even if Leng Xiao is called to face it, he can't help these Gu worms, but in the hands of the Qingjian real person, they can be destroyed.

Qingjian Zhenren's expression was solemn, and he said: "Once this kind of strange Gu causes trouble in the world, it will definitely be ruined, but fortunately, if it is discovered in time, it will not cause such a disaster!"

It was the Qingjian real person, and it took half an hour to destroy all these thousands of vats.

Leng Xiao stopped, and the cold moon flew in and landed a foot in front of him. There was a trace of fluctuation on Han Yue's cold and frosty face, and she asked, "Leng Xiao, when did you fall into the poison?"

"More than 10 years ago. ”

Han Yue's body trembled slightly, bit her lip and said, "Then have you ever ...... Have you betrayed the sect?"

She raised her eyes and stared at Leng Xiao's eyes tightly, for a moment.

People who trust don't ask more. And those who do not believe, need not ask more.

Leng Xiao only walked around her and didn't say a word. Cold Moon seemed to be desperate for this answer, calling behind him. Leng Xiao turned his back to her and said calmly: "No." ”

Han Yue smiled and watched Leng Xiao disappear from sight, only to feel a peace in her heart. An untimely voice suddenly came from behind her, shattering her joy.

"Senior Sister Hanyue!"

Chu Tiankuo came over with a smile, and when he saw Han Yue's cold face, he immediately said, "Senior sister, don't worry, senior brother will definitely find a way to detoxify!"

"I hope so. Han Yue only said indifferently, then turned around and left, leaving Chu Tiankuo standing alone.

The night wind was cold, as cold as ice, but compared to the chill in the sword mound, it was as hot as summer.

Chu Tiankuo took out a rarely used transmission note from his bosom and probed into the aura. A clear voice immediately came from the other side: "The sky is wide." ”

Chu Tiankuo said respectfully: "Master, the disciple has something important to report. ”

He told the story of what happened in the sword mound in detail, and there was nothing to hide. The other party was silent at first, and then sighed: "This matter must not be known to Qingjian, so it is not possible to seek the help of Lingque Valley openly." And Liao Mian was born in the Spirit Bird Valley, since she was helpless, Lin Xi may not be able to have a way to detoxify. ”

"Since the Ghost Head Tuo only arranged for you to lurk in the Blue Scar Sect, then it is. Tiankuo, you can rest assured, the teacher will find an antidote for you. Since this poison came from the Eastern Regions, he went to the Eastern Regions as a teacher. ”

Chu Tiankuo hurriedly said, "Yes, master!"

Putting the transmission note away, he was breathing heavily, his fists clenched, and he looked extremely irritable. After a long time, he comforted himself: "That's it, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are motivated to endure and gain what they can't." ”

"The position of the suzerain will be mine sooner or later. You, too, are mine. ”
