Chapter 688 Sword Saint's Gauntlet
Gai Tianjiao chased after him from behind and saw Zhang Ruochen standing under the altar. He immediately showed a curious expression, so he asked, "Junior Brother Lin Yue, what are you doing?"
The mental power was like a tide, and it was about to rush back to Zhang Ruochen's body.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his hand on the altar, turned around, looked at Gai Tianjiao, and smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly became a little curious. Did this jade altar have been in the ancient sacred mountain since ancient times, or was it built later?"
Gai Tianjiao didn't think much about it and said, "This altar is used for the Heaven-sacrificial ceremony of the sword contest. It was built five hundred years ago and it also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources at that time. Even now, millions of spiritual crystals are spent every year to maintain the formation below the altar."
Zhang Ruochen raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Just maintaining the formation, so many spiritual crystals will be consumed every year?"
"I don't know very well. Anyway, there are indeed many secrets hidden in the ancient sacred mountain. Some of the forbidden areas, even if I break in, will be a dead end."
Gai Tianjiao's eyes showed a puzzled look and said, "Junior Brother Lin Yue, why are you so concerned about the jade altar?"
Zhang Ruochen knew that Gai Tianjiao had begun to doubt, so he gave up the idea of entering the bottom of the altar to investigate immediately, and hurriedly said, "I'm just quite curious."
"Goodbye."
Zhang Ruochen bowed to Gai Tianjiao, then stopped stopping and left the Ancient God Mountain.
Gai Tianjiao stared at the distant back, looked carefully, and then she returned to Jiange.
The Sword Saint of Burial Moon was still sitting cross-legged above. Seeing Gai Tianjiao, he said, "Have you sent him away?"
Gai Tianjiao nodded with a serious expression and said, "Master, I think Lin Yue has some problems. He seems to have concealed a lot of things. Is it really a good thing for us to trust him so much?"
The Sword Saint of Zangyue smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about Lin Yue. He is the person appointed by Taiyi Patriarch. Even if you can't trust him, you should be able to trust Taiyi Patriarch."
Gai Tianjiao breathed a little relieved and said, "Since it is the person chosen by the ancestor, I am relieved! However, will it be too risky to put all our hopes on him alone?"
"His understanding and qualifications are indeed extremely high. If he practices in the Sword Pavilion, he will still have a chance to reach the second level of Sword Two."
"But let him practice outside, I'm worried that on the ninth day of the ninth month, he would not even reach the first level of Jian Er."
Not only Gai Tianjiao was very worried, but in fact, the Sword Saint of Burial Moon also did not have much confidence in Lin Yue.
Sword 2 is much more difficult than sword. Just the first level of entry-level "change of yin and yang" is enough to stump many swordsmen. If you have been comprehending for ten or twenty years, you may not be able to overcome that hurdle.
That's what Gai Tianjiao is like.
She had already practiced Jianyi to the tenth level of great perfection, but she had never stepped into the threshold of Jianyi and could not realize the realm of "changing Yin and Yang".
Although it has a lot to do with her physical condition, it also shows that for monks in the Yulong Realm, Sword 2 is quite difficult to practice. Even if you get started, it is difficult to ascend to the sky.
The Sword Saint Burial Moon pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, you will urge him in the next few months and don't let him be too lazy. As long as he can reach the second level of Sword 2 on the ninth day of the ninth month, we will have a glimmer of chance."
"Disciple accepts the order." Gai Tianjiao said.
"Wow!"
At this moment, a light talisman flew from the end of the dark green sky, like a meteor, penetrated the clouds and mists of the ancient sacred mountain and hovered around the sword pavilion.
The swordsman of Zangyue gave a light ejaculation from the mouth, and immediately stretched out a hand and grabbed the void.
Then, a jade talisman appeared in his hand.
After reading the contents of the talisman, the Sword Saint of Burial Moon smiled and said, "This year's sword competition is getting more and more lively."
Gai Tianjiao asked, "Master, what happened?"
The Sword Saint of Burial Moon said: "The Sword Saint of Xuan Ji gave the letter of war to the Sword Saint of Jiuyou. It is said that it was to seek justice for his disciples. On the ninth day of the ninth month, in Jiange, he decided to fight for life and death and let me be a notary."
"The two sword saints actually decided to die?" Gai Tianjiao was quite surprised.
The cultivators in the entire Eastern Region knew that the Jiuyou Sword Saint killed Zhang Ruochen, the disciple of Xuan Ji Sword Saint. That incident caused a stir several months ago.
Everyone knows that Xuan Ji Sword Saint is a very short-skinned person and will never give up.
Now, Xuan Ji Sword Saint has finally taken action. A Sword Saint is born in a life-and-death battle, then he must do what he says.
Either you die or I die.
Will the Nine Nether Sword Saint face the challenge?
"Wow!"
A talisman of light flew over from beyond the sky.
The Sword Saint of Burial Moon collected the light talisman, looked at it, frowned slightly, and sighed: "The Sword Saint of Nine Nethers has responded to the battle! The two Sword Saints' life-and-death battle will surely attract the attention of all forces in the entire Eastern Region. At that time, there will definitely be more cultivators coming to Liangyi Sect, and I hope there will be no accidents."
It was not just that the Sword Saint Burial Moon received the light talisman, but on that night, the news of the two Sword Saints' decisive battle in life and death spread to the major sects and saints of the Eastern Region, and suddenly, the earth was shaken.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen had just returned to Zixia Lingshan, so he naturally didn't know the news that Xuan Ji Sword Saint gave the letter of war to Jiuyou Sword Saint.
With a swish.
Xiao Hei flew out of the night and landed above the fence wall. A pair of round eyes radiated bright light in the darkness.
It asked, "How is it? Is there an altar in heaven and earth appearing in the third mountain of the ancient sacred mountain?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "The altar of heaven and earth has not appeared, but some interesting things have appeared. However, there are many masters in Jian Pavilion, and I have some clones and I cannot go to investigate in person. Next time, if you go to Jian Pavilion with me, you must find out the power of the altar of heaven and earth."
The sky, a dark cloud, surged in a vast turbulent manner, covering the bright moon and making the whole world quite dull.
In the clouds, the sound of muffled thunder emanates from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It can be imagined that a heavy rain will come.
Zhang Ruochen asked, "Did Qi Feiyu have any abnormalities during the past few days in Gushen Mountain?"
"The few days you were in the ancient sacred mountain, that girl has been guarding the foot of the ancient sacred mountain. I am a little doubtful, is she really interested in you?" Xiao Hei yawned and said lazily.
Immediately, Xiao Hei said again: "But, after you go down the mountain, she will leave immediately. What makes me wonder is that she did not return to Yuqing Palace, but left Liangyi Sect."
"Leave Liangyi Sect."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes kept changing, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "There is a problem... Xiao Hei, you should be fine if you want to keep up with her, right?"
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "I have collected a breath from her body with secret techniques. As long as it is within thousands of miles, I can find her by smelling it."
"Let's go, let's catch up and take a look."
Zhang Ruochen immediately took out a metal mask and put it on his face. Then he used his body technique and rushed out of the mountain gate of Liangyi Sect.
...
…………
Qi Feiyu walked out of the mountain gate of Liangyi Sect, and her graceful body turned into a ball of blood mist, rushed into the jungle, and disappeared into the night.
After a moment, the sky was indeed filled with lightning and thunder, and a pouring rain fell.
In the Flying Mountains, the peaks are like pillars supporting the sky, emitting a majestic momentum. Especially in the thunderstorm weather, the powerful beasts living in the wilderness have emerged from their nests and absorbed the power of thunder and lightning.
Below one of the mountains, there was a bottomless miasma poisonous valley. A giant beast with a body of more than 200 meters long rushed out of the valley. It was a centipede, with its whole body pitch black, but only two eyeballs emitted golden light.
The huge centipede hovered around the mountain peak and rushed to the top of the mountain before opening her mouth and sucking all dozens of lightning in the clouds into her body.
"call out!"
Suddenly, the huge centipede's body shrank and turned into a man with eight-handed feet, and landed on the ground at the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there is an ancient blue-gray Taoist temple. Outside the gate of the Taoist temple, there is a broken monument with three words engraved on it, "Watch of No Life".
In addition to the eight-handed and eight-legged man, the Taoist temple also had a pair of green wings on her back, and there was a flame-like mark on her eyebrows.
She was wearing a green feather, and each feather was made of metal and was extremely sharp.
"Here you come!"
The eight-handed and eight-legged man and the woman with green wings stood in the rain, standing on the left and right sides of the Taoist temple, looking into the rain curtain.
A ball of blood mist flew out of the forest, emitting an unusually fragrant fragrance.
When the blood mist was flying, it gradually condensed into a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, wearing a Taoist robe, and landed lightly on the ground.
"Meet the Saint."
A man and a woman outside the Taoist temple bowed to Qi Feiyu at the same time.
"Squeak!"
The wooden door of the Taoist temple opened, and a man in his twenties walked out of the door. He had thick eyebrows, strong facial features, wearing a simple blue dress, holding an oil paper umbrella, and walked towards Qi Feiyu in the rain curtain.
"I have cooked a pot of your favorite Qinlong tea, and I'll wait for you for a long time."
The man in blue put the oil-paper umbrella above Qi Feiyu's head, covered her with rain, and his own body helped her block the wind.
He raised his head, looked at the thunder and lightning in the sky, and said, "The wind and rain are coming too quickly tonight. Let's talk slowly and carefully when we enter the Taoist temple. Centauri, Jujiu, you will be guarding outside, be careful."
The man in green and Qi Feiyu walked into Wusheng Road and sat cross-legged. A pot of tea was boiled on the stove between them.
