The Shang Kingdom has four continents. Most of them practice Qi, while a few respect martial arts.

The emperors of the Shang Kingdom all came from the Old Master's academy and practiced Qi, Taoism, etiquette, etiquette, martial arts, military... and other knowledge.

Among them, Haotian Pavilion in Xihuan Continent goes in the opposite direction. It has been using witchcraft and trickery to manipulate people's bodies all year round, which is called puppetry by the world.

He often used puppetry to infiltrate the royal family to seek higher profits. Ancestor Haotian was unwilling to do this and led his disciples and puppets to initiate catastrophes on many occasions.

He also continued to kill the practitioners on the other three continents, sow dissension, massacre the weak, and secretly collude. No matter what the means, he wanted to dominate the entire world, with the ultimate goal of seizing the royal status.

The soul-eating blood beads are the method of immortality that Haotian Ancestor has only successfully developed in the past few hundred years. It is refined from the blood of thousand-year-old phoenixes and the essence and blood of Qi cultivators. It can not only improve your skills in a short period of time, but also achieve immortality.

At the critical moment, it was stolen.

The reason why Haotian Pavilion is like this is not innate, but it was caused by internal disputes as early as when the Shang Kingdom was first established.

At that time, there were two factions, namely those who cultivated Qi and those who cultivated martial arts. At that time, Patriarch Haotian was the representative figure who respected martial arts. However, the first emperor of the Shang Kingdom regarded cultivating Qi as the orthodox practice and constantly suppressed the martial cultivators.

living space.

Patriarch Haotian, as a role model for martial cultivators, could not just watch martial cultivators perish, so he led a group of martial cultivators to rise up and occupy the land of Xihuan at that time, until now.

However, the four continents in the world are difficult to control and manipulate. Even though there are many puppets and disciples, they cannot be at his disposal, so he secretly planted various spies and spies in each continent.

All outstanding people will be secretly abducted for brainwashing and re-education.

If that fails, use puppetry to control their body and soul.

Patriarch Haotian believes that as long as the elite talents from all continents are gathered together, the Shang Kingdom will naturally fall apart. No matter how powerful the old master is, he and his disciples cannot compete with the elites in the world.

During these years of fighting, the Old Master also sent disciples from his own academy to recruit talents in various continents, vowing to get ahead of Haotian Pavilion to prevent these outstanding talents from being poisoned by Patriarch Haotian.

Rather than saying that Beimo Continent is what Shang Guo values ​​most, it is better to say that it is Old Master.

As early as hundreds of years ago, the Qi cultivators in Beimo Continent were the most simple. No matter how big the changes were, they would support any decision made by the Shang Kingdom. They also received a lot of funding from the Shang Kingdom, and also received many years of support from the old master. Gradually

Beimo Continent has become a holy land for Qi cultivators.

Haotian Pavilion has been coveting Beimo Continent for a long time, but has never been able to find a solution. Especially the Xuantian Sect in Tianma Town has repeatedly hindered it, and the puppets of Haotian Patriarch have been exposed many times.

The spies among them have also been killed many times, but they still spare no effort to keep planting and infiltrating.

Although Xuantian Sect has more than 20 elders, it seems calm on the surface, but secretly there is an undercurrent surging.

At this time in Zhou Mansion, Zhou Liting had not closed his eyes all night, always thinking about Ye Youyou being kidnapped. Lao Xu was not around, which made him restless. He had not returned at dawn, making him worried about Zhou Tian.

He paced back and forth in the yard, unable to calm down in his heart. He recalled the scenes of Bai Susu's life and couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Now that Zhou Tian was in this dire straits and unknown situation, he couldn't help but be impatient.

"master!"

"It's better to go back to the house, the weather is still very cold in early spring."

The servants of the Zhou family have seen Zhou Liting in the courtyard for a long time.

"It's okay. Just wait a minute. If Tian'er and Lao Xu don't come back, I will go out and look for them."

On the other side, Ye Wensheng and his wife also spent the whole night searching. His wife, whose legs were a little swollen from walking, sat down holding on to the roots of an old locust tree.

"Hey, where did Youyou go? I'm exhausted."

"We have been searching all night, in all places. Could it be that she really ran away from home and left Tianqian Town."

The lady was panting and stammering when speaking. She beat her knees and looked at Vincent Ye complainingly.

"If you weren't so soft-hearted, how could she be like this? You have been asked to send some people to guard her room. You know that Wanwan has a very good relationship with her, how can you keep her?"

The lady who rolled her eyes made Ye Wensheng very impatient.

Although Ye Wensheng usually doesn't deal with the Zhou family, he treats his daughter very favorably. Everyone in the town knows that he is an out-and-out slave to his daughter.

"How can you take care of your daughter as you said when she's grown up? Even if she ran away from home, she wouldn't leave a letter. It was obviously a temporary act. According to me, she hasn't left town yet."

Ye Wensheng knew his daughter very well. No matter what Youyou did, he would always leave a note, but now it was so abrupt? After thinking about it, he suddenly felt a cramp in his chest and collapsed on the root of the tree.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"It's okay. I haven't slept all night, so I may be a little tired. Let's take a rest and continue looking."

At this time, a man walked over with his head down and his face downcast.

Ye Wensheng's face was pale. When he saw a person walking in front of him, his eyes were a little thick and he couldn't see clearly.

The body leaned forward.

"Zilun?"

The lady shouted.

"But is there any news about Youyou?"

Ye Wensheng was a little anxious, and his heart beat faster.

"I couldn't find it, so I let Zhou Tian and the others run away."

After Ye Wensheng heard this, he stamped his feet. The tearing pain in his chest made him even more uncomfortable.

"Youyou can't be found. You and Su Mohan can't even deal with Zhou Tian. How can my wife and I expect you to protect Youyou's safety in the future..."

Then he frowned tightly, his vision went dark, he fell from the root of the tree and fainted.

"Master! Master!"

When the lady saw it, her legs became weak with fright, and she knelt on the ground crying.

Without saying a word, Wang Zilun picked up Ye Wensheng and ran towards the mansion.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon. At this time, Zhou Tian had been walking with Xu Qingnian for almost two or three hours.

"I said, Lao Xu, it's been a long time since we left the town. Where are we going?"

"If you let dad wait and get anxious, he will definitely come out to look for him. The people in Ye Mansion have always had a grudge against dad for a long time. He is not in cultivation now. What should he do if he encounters any danger?"

Zhou Tian was very worried about his father. Seeing Xu Qingnian's unhurried look, he said angrily.

"Young Master, I'm fine. You don't have to worry. It's hard to find the hiding place of Haotian Pavilion's spies. Normally, Master and I would look for it ourselves. Now I'm just a bit slow to find it."

Zhou Tian was a little surprised when he heard that he and his father came to visit him on weekdays.

He still believed it before, but now that his father's cultivation has been completely ruined, he can still have such thoughts. He asked half-heartedly: "Old Xu, my father's cultivation is not as good as before. You and him come to find the spies of Haotian Pavilion. Once

If there was a conflict, wouldn't my father's life be in danger?"

"Hey, don't think too much about it. With my ability, these Haotian Pavilion spies are no match at all. Your father and I have killed many of them, so don't bother me with your thoughts."

Tianqian Town is surrounded by forest villages. If you are not a local of the town, you will get lost when entering the forest village. In order to hinder the placement of spies and puppets of Haotian Pavilion, there are many different agencies in the forest village next to the town. If you are not careful, you will

Lose your life.

Zhou Tian didn't know, and Xu Qingnian forgot to tell him.

"Master, be careful!"

They were in a dense bamboo forest, with scattered bamboo poles and leaves blown by the strong wind on the ground.

Zhou Tian was startled, and just as he was about to step forward with his front foot to touch the ground, Xu Qingnian suddenly stopped him and took it back.

"What happened? I was so surprised."

"Look at the open space under your feet. How is it different from others?"

Xu Qingnian leaned over and looked at his feet carefully.

After Zhou Tian observed carefully, he seemed to have discovered something.

"Are you saying that the empty space at my front feet is a different color?"

It turned out that the leaves and bamboo poles all over the place were different everywhere, the colors were dark and light, the ground was concave and convex. If Xu Qingnian hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have discovered the pattern.

"This is?"

Xu Qingnian lay on the ground, pressed his chest to the ground, and breathed softly.

"This forest village is divided into three areas: bamboo forest, woods, and grass. Each area is different. It is to hinder Haotian Pavilion's spies. This bamboo forest area has the most agencies. If you are not careful, people may die."

Xu Qingnian said with great interest, Zhou Tian was furious when he heard it.

"Old Xu! If you hadn't told me earlier, if I had walked a little faster just now, I would have died a long time ago!"

After that, he bent down, picked up a stone next to him, and threw it into the open space just now.

When the stone fell to the ground, it instantly hit two huge rolling logs from both sides.

"Oh my god, if you had shouted slower just now, you might have turned into a pulp."

Instead of apologizing, Xu Qingnian secretly laughed, which made Zhou Tian very unhappy.

"Master, remember this jingle and you will be fine."

"Go shallow but not deep, go bright but not dark, go concave but not convex."

"Don't raise your hands to touch the leaves, don't touch the bamboo with your feet, don't hide from the strong wind, and don't stop when the warm wind blows."

After Zhou Tian heard this, he looked at Xu Qingnian with a look of disgust, and looked at his feet and the front with disdain.
