Chapter 304: The Glory of the Academy (Nearly 20,000 Words Super Chapter)
But Zhao Xun is still very concerned about when his true energy will be replenished.
After all, he didn't have much awe-inspiring energy to begin with. If he managed to gather it all and dissipated it all at once, Zhao Xun would have to spend a lot of time to accumulate it. This would not be a good thing in any case.
"It can take as little as ten days, or as long as several months."
Senior sister Xiao Ning gave an answer that made Zhao Xun desperate.
"What, the span is too big."
It would be okay if they could return to their original state within ten days, but if it took several months to finally return to their original state, it would really cost them their lives.
"There is no way. It depends on one's personal cultivation constitution and other factors."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan sighed and said: "So we must not keep a high profile during this period. Although we can turn those monsters into ashes with a snap of our fingers, our vitality is also greatly damaged. This means killing a thousand enemies and damaging ourselves eight.
Hundreds of tricks. The two Demon Sect disciples may not know it, but the Demon Sect High Priest must know it. As long as the two of them go back and report to the Demon Sect High Priest, it won’t be long before the Demon Sect High Priest will send people around.
Search for our whereabouts."
hiss.
After hearing this, Zhao Xun felt chills running down his spine.
It's terrible, it's really terrible.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect is a powerful boss who can fight back and forth with the Mountain Chief.
Although his strength is lower than that of the mountain leader, he can still dominate all the academy disciples.
In other words, even if all the disciples from the academy were tied together, they would not be as hairy as the legs of the high priest of the Demon Sect.
With such a huge disparity in power, how could they not panic?
"Then we are hiding like this now? This is Mobei, an area controlled by the Demon Sect. If they conduct a plowing search, we will be exposed sooner or later."
Since Zhao Xun, the high priest of the Xindao Demon Sect, is a super master, he naturally has unique skills that ordinary people cannot have.
Even if he can't directly rely on magic power to locate the location of Zhao Xun and others, he can still send his soldiers and generals to find them inch by inch, right?
How long can they hide it?
"That's not necessarily the case."
Senior sister Xiao Ning said in a deep voice: "We can use the true energy to seal this area, so that this area is transparent and cannot be easily inspected by them. Unless the high priest of the Demon Sect comes here in person, it is impossible to detect it.
It’s strange. And there is almost no chance that the Demon Sect’s high priest will come here in person.”
Senior sister Xiao Ning's analysis was quite reasonable, and Zhao Xun nodded frequently.
"That seems to be the case. But senior sister, how can we seal off this area."
Zhao Xun is never tired of learning. He has a hundred thousand whys in his mind and will ask questions whenever he gets a chance.
Senior sister Xiao Ning explained patiently: "You can understand it this way. The world between heaven and earth is a big container. The container is filled with water, and there are bubbles in the water."
Zhao Xun thought that it was because of the oxygen. The bubbles were filled with oxygen.
Of course, he would not explain what oxygen is to his senior sister at this time, just like he would not explain the periodic table of elements to his sixth senior brother who likes to practice Feng Shui and practice Qi Men Dun Jia.
The cognitive systems and knowledge structures of the two sides are completely different, so there is no need to forcefully argue over some areas where the two sides are destined to disagree.
"So what we have to do now is become this bubble?"
"Almost. To be more precise, we have to enter the bubble. In this way, the bubble is an independent container."
The senior sister's explanation was quite accurate, and Zhao Xun seemed to understand it.
He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then let's seal the entrance of the cave quickly."
"Don't be anxious, let's breathe in and out first to regulate our vitality."
After this battle, the vitality of the academy disciples was severely damaged. If they did not regulate their vitality first and forcibly mobilized their vitality to seal the entrance of the cave, it would cause great harm to their consciousness.
Of course, it was impossible for the senior sister to do such a stupid thing, so she guided all the disciples in the academy to start breathing.
Breathing in and out is like a rising tide, exhale and inhale, exhale and inhale again.
It seems that the same action is repeated over and over again, but it is actually a confirmation of the physical laws of this world.
After breathing in and out dozens of times, Zhao Xun really felt a lot more refreshed.
Wow, it actually works.
Big Sister YYDS.
As expected of the eldest sister of the academy, she was able to stand up and withstand the situation when the mountain leader was away.
After repeating this process several times, senior sister Xiao Ning opened her eyes and said, "Okay, it's okay now."
Zhao Xun was already eager to give it a try. Seeing that the senior sister finally relented, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, follow my rhythm. Don't release too much Qi, just a little bit will be fine."
At this time, the true energy of everyone in the academy seems to be extremely precious, even the slightest bit is crucial.
So senior sister Xiao Ning was afraid that they would be wasted, so she emphasized it again and again.
It is like there is a valve in the practitioner's sea of consciousness.
They can rely on opening and closing this valve to decide whether to input true energy or output true energy.
The reason why the practitioners of the Demon Sect are cruel and unacceptable to all the sects of the Central Plains cultivation system is that they dare to directly unscrew this valve and greedily pour all the vitality of heaven and earth into their bodies.
This is of course a very stupid thing to do.
Because the human body is ultimately limited, while heaven and earth are infinite.
If you pour unlimited vitality into a limited body, your body will most likely explode and die.
But the demon sect practitioners don't seem to care about this.
Because the short-term absorption of the vitality of heaven and earth will cause their cultivation level to skyrocket in a short period of time, and it is not impossible to even upgrade several levels.
Zhao Xun and others had thought about relying on this method to enter the first level when they met the practitioners of the Demon Sect in Huangzhou.
Although it lasted only a short time, a first-level demon sect practitioner was enough to kill everyone in the academy.
Thanks to Taoist Priest Qinglian's timely action, a tragedy was avoided.
Of course, this does not mean that the body of a demon sect practitioner will definitely explode and die after forcibly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into his body.
If they can clean up their opponents in the shortest possible time, then they can then drain the excess energy from their bodies.
But the probability of success is only 50%, so it's a big gamble.
If you win the bet, your realm will soar; if you lose the bet, you will be blown to pieces and your soul will be scattered.
Therefore, orthodox Central Plains practitioners, including academy disciples, will not forcefully unscrew this valve under any circumstances.
Only by giving and gaining, and with moderation, can it last.
Just looking for temporary pleasure may lead to a miserable end.
Zhao Xun and others followed the instructions of senior sister Xiao Ning, forced out a small part of the true energy in the body, and then gathered it together to make up the position at the entrance of the cave.
I saw a transparent film appearing at the entrance of the cave.
The sunlight shines through the film, making it look colorful for a while.
What a beauty!
Zhao Xun thought to himself secretly.
I have to say that there are still many beautiful things in life, but we often ignore them because we are too busy.
Therefore, you should pay more attention to the present moment. There are many small blessings and blessings in it. Only by grasping these blessings can you enjoy life to the greatest extent.
Life is only a few decades, and it goes by in a flash.
Enjoy life! This is Zhao Xun’s biggest experience in the year he traveled to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect looked at the pair of disciples kneeling in front of him, his heart feeling like the waves of an angry sea.
Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan were his two most admired disciples.
But their performance really disappointed him.
It's not that he didn't give them a chance, but they didn't show the viciousness that a demon sect practitioner should have.
They had left a way out from the beginning, so they couldn't defeat the academy disciples.
If they had forced themselves into a desperate situation from the beginning, the High Priest of the Demon Sect did not believe that they would have no chance of winning.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. This saying of the Central Plains people still makes sense.
Now a difficult problem is placed in front of the High Priest of the Demon Sect.
That's how to deal with the two of them.
If he just lets it go, or raises his palm high and drops it gently, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public.
In Mobei, the Prairie Golden Tent Royal Family is a very powerful force, but the one who really has the dominant power is the High Priest of the Demon Sect.
Even when the Khan of the Golden Horde royal family succeeds to the throne, he needs the high priest of the Demon Sect to come and bless him in person.
Only the Khan who has received the blessing of the High Priest of the Demon Sect will truly be supported by his tribe.
And if the high priest of the Demon Sect does not bless a certain khan, he will not even be able to secure his position as khan, and will be overthrown in a very short time.
Of course, generally speaking, the High Priest of the Demon Sect would not interfere with the prairie people's rituals. He would only intervene unless there was a situation that he could not forgive.
Therefore, Ashina's identity as the daughter of the Duoduo royal family does not make him scruple.
After thinking over and over again, the High Priest of the Demon Sect finally decided to severely punish the two of them.
Only in this way can he establish his absolute authority and convince later generations.
"Come here, give them fifty lashes."
Upon hearing this order from the High Priest of the Demon Sect, Ashina Duoduo and Qibi Zonglan were completely panicked.
They all knew that the whip mentioned by the High Priest of the Demon Sect was not an ordinary whip, but a leather whip dipped in Gu insect eggs.
Hitting the body with a whip will tear the skin, and then the poisonous eggs will enter their bodies along the torn wounds.
Gu insects will hatch quickly if they obtain a suitable temperature environment.
These hatched eggs will erode their bodies and flesh immediately.
"High Priest, please go around me. I know I was wrong and I am willing to atone for my sin."
"High Priest, just beat me and spare Duo Duo."
One of the two begged for mercy for himself, and the other begged for mercy for his companion.
However, the High Priest of the Demon Sect has made up his mind and will naturally not accept the two's pleas.
He is not a hard-hearted person, but sometimes he must set an example in order to maintain his authority.
Obviously, this time his beloved disciples Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan have become negative examples.
"Drag it down."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect waved his hand and ordered impatiently.
Immediately, a group of five big, thick-shouldered and round-waisted prairie barbarians entered the camp and dragged Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan out of the camp.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect turned his back, fearing that he would be soft-hearted.
You must not be soft-hearted at this time.
No matter who touches his bottom line, he must pay a price.
Soon after, the swishing sound of whips and the screams of Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan came from outside the tent.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect shook his head and said: "If I had known today, why would I do it in the first place?"
If they could pay enough attention to this group of academy opponents from the beginning and devote themselves absolutely to it, they wouldn't have to be whipped here now.
The whipping lasted for a long time.
It took a full stick of incense to stop.
The two grassland men finally dragged Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan into the big tent to return to their lives.
"High Priest, the fifty lashes have been given."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect glanced at the two of them and saw various deep and shallow wounds on their bodies.
Qibizonglan's wounds were more obvious because she was covered in tendons, just like strips of bloody centipedes.
As for Ashina Duoduo's wounds, they were relatively hidden. However, the blood had already soaked through her clothes.
"Drag it out and tie it to the rocks outside."
This decision of the High Priest of the Demon Sect made Ashina Duoduo and Qibi Zonglan tremble.
"Spare your life, high priest, spare your life."
For them, being tortured was one humiliation, and being tied to a big rock and displayed in public was a second humiliation.
This is equivalent to pulling out their wounds and showing them to the grassland tribesmen.
This is something they cannot accept no matter what.
"High Priest, if you still feel you are still angry, just beat us up again. But please don't do this to us again."
"Drag out!"
The High Priest of the Demon Sect has made up his mind and will naturally not be affected by anything else.
This time, the two muscular prairie men no longer gave them a chance to talk and dragged them out of the camp like dead dogs.
Outside the camp, Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan were tied to two big rocks.
Their wounds felt like tearing pain under the scorching sun.
And they know the pain has just begun.
Although the temperature rises, the Gu eggs in their wounds will slowly hatch.
After hatching, the Gu insects will desperately suck their flesh and blood in order to survive.
Gu insects won't eat much at first, but as they grow older, their food intake will become higher and higher.
In the end, the Gu worms will swallow them whole, leaving only an empty shell.
Of course, during the entire process, the high priest can terminate the process at any time.
As long as they take the antidote, the poisonous insects in their bodies will die immediately.
This way they can survive.
It's just that they don't know if the high priest really wants them to die at this moment, or if he just wants to teach them a lesson.
During this time fear and pain will continue to torture them.
They don't know what their fate will be until the last moment.
Regret, Qibi Zonglan really regrets it.
If he could have tried his best with Ashina Duoduo from the beginning, maybe the current situation would be completely different, right?
Or should they run away as much as possible when they know they have lost, so as not to return to the High Priest of the Demon Sect and endure the heart-wrenching pain of thousands of insects?
Qibi Zonglan himself didn't care, but he couldn't bear to see Ashina Duoduo suffer with him.
Seeing that Ashina Duoduo beside him was so weak and trembling all over, he just let out a sigh of relief. Qibi Zonglan wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Now their fate lies entirely in the whims of the high priest.
If the high priest wants them to live, they will live; if the high priest wants them to die, they will die.
It feels really bad to put your destiny in the hands of others and let others make choices.
God, bless us and keep us alive.
If only one person can survive, please bless Duoduo to live.
For all the disciples in the academy, recuperation is crucial.
It can help them recover their physical strength and cultivate their abilities to the greatest extent.
At this time, this isolated cave is equivalent to a protective shield for them.
As long as they are within this protective shield, they don't have to worry about being found by the Demon Sect's high priest.
The next question became how they could get in touch with the mountain chief.
You must know that the current situation of the academy and the group is neither too good nor too bad.
It would be great if the mountain chief could give them support, even if it was just remote support.
This important task naturally falls on Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou.
The Sixth Senior Brother is the best at using teleportation, and he is also one of the few people in the academy who is skilled in the use of teleportation.
Of course, you must be very careful when using teleportation.
Because when the teleportation spell is set up, the huge fluctuations in vitality will cause great changes in the vitality of the surrounding world.
At this time, the abnormality of vitality will make the practitioners of the Demon Sect, especially the High Priest of the Demon Sect, alert and respond accordingly.
Sixth Senior Brother must be more careful, more cautious, more cautious, and never be careless in the slightest.
Zhao Xun and others took on the task of guarding the Sixth Senior Brother.
Whenever there is any trouble, they will alert you immediately.
"Here comes a letter from Lao Liu."
In the bamboo building of Haoran Academy, the Chief looked at the paper as thin as cicada wings and said lightly.
With Lu Guangdou's level of cultivation, it is not easy to use teleportation to deliver such a letter.
Of course, what the commander was more concerned about was the content of the letter.
After reading it once, he handed the letter to Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal at the side.
"Look, they are safe for the time being. I said they can protect themselves."
But after Yao Yan read the letter, he held a completely different view than Shan Chang.
"Chief Mountain, they are hiding in a cave now. This proves that they are injured and must be given time to heal. Chief, this is too dangerous."
The mountain chief shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Although they are in Mobei now, they have used their true energy to seal the cave. The people of the Demon Sect cannot sense their existence, and neither can the high priest of the Demon Sect.
."
After a pause, the mountain leader then continued: "You have to know that the practitioners of the Demon Sect have a very sensitive sense of smell. They rely on their sense of smell to search for the location of their opponents. As long as Xiao Qizhu and the others isolate their own location
, so that the people of the Demon Sect can’t smell it, they will be absolutely safe.”
"So, Chief Shan, when do you decide to leave?"
Yao Yan didn't want to hear all these things. He was more concerned about Liu Yingying's safety.
Knowing that Liu Yingying is in danger now, but he can't do anything about it, this feeling is really tortured.
"Do not worry."
The mountain leader waved his hand and said leisurely: "Actually, the situation is not as bad as you think. If I want to go, I only need to use the teleportation array to teleport directly to the location given by Lao Liu and the others. If I go early now,
What should we do if the High Priest of the Demon Sect is hiding? Aren’t all their previous efforts in vain?”
Yao Yan finally understood.
The mountain chief wanted to use them as bait.
The high priest of the Demon Sect was first lured to take action, and then the mountain chief rushed to him.
It’s a good plan to use the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind.
It's just that this requires the mountain chief to grasp the timing just right and not make any mistakes.
Any mistakes or omissions can have fatal consequences.
"Shan Chief, is there really no danger?"
"Don't you even believe me?"
The mountain chief was obviously a little unhappy. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I said they are safe, so they must be safe."
Seeing that the mountain chief was angry, Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, said quickly: "Shan Chief, please don't get excited, that's not what I meant. Is there anything in this world that you can't do? If I care, I will cause chaos."
After a pause, Yao Yan continued: "How about this? We'll keep in touch with Yingying and the others at all times. If something goes wrong, we'll just rush over."
The mountain leader's face softened slightly and he said: "That's what I mean. This time the High Priest of the Demon Sect will definitely open the door of darkness. He will open this door of evil at all costs. If he really succeeds, the world will be in chaos.
, and that is what none of us want to see. That’s why I will do my best to ask Xiao Qiji and the others to go to Mobei to find out the traces and hiding place of the Demon Sect’s high priest. Then I will take action personally to collect them.
Without him, there will be peace in the world."
"Well, Chief Shan really has the world in mind."
Yao Yan suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Compared with Shan Zhang, he really put too much personal feelings into it.
"Stop flattering me. If a fight really breaks out, there will be a fierce battle between me and the high priest of the Demon Sect. It will be a dark and dark battle. Then you will be responsible for joining hands with Xiao Qizhu and the others to deal with the other members of the Demon Sect. Don't
Just distract me."
"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely do my best to kill the enemy invaders."
"The mountain chief has replied to the letter, the mountain chief has replied to the letter!"
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou jumped up excitedly when he saw the reply from the Academy Headmaster.
No wonder.
Since leaving Chang'an, they have not had contact with the academy and the mountain chief for a long time.
Shanchang treated them like an old father. Naturally, the wanderer had a special feeling when he thought of his old father.
Of course, what Lu Guangdou wants to know more now is the attitude of the mountain chief.
He opened the letter and read it.
The letter was not long and the content was very simple. The mountain chief asked them to protect themselves and not to enter and leave the cave at will to prevent attracting practitioners of the Demon Sect. After their cultivation level has been restored to almost the same level, they can leave the cave together with Zhao Xun Demon Sect.
High Priest.
Once they found the trace of the Demon Sect's high priest, they immediately informed the mountain chief, who would teleport him as quickly as possible.
If you think about it, this is really exciting.
"It turns out that everything is under the control of the mountain chief. The mountain chief has always been strategizing."
Zhao Xun said with emotion.
He had always felt that the mountain was so stable that it must have taken all circumstances into consideration.
So what they have to do is lure the snake out of its hole.
As long as the High Priest of the Demon Sect can't help but show his head, the Mountain Chief will follow him like a shadow.
This battle is inevitable, and this battle is for the sake of all people in the world.
Therefore, Zhao Xun and the others have no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.
It is said that the most disappointed people are scholars, so Zhao Xun and the others wanted to prove that scholars can stand upright, and scholars can help the world.
Scholars can also punish evil and promote good, and they can also save people.
They are scholars of Haoran Academy and disciples of the mountain chief, and they will never let the world down.
After whipping Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan in public for demonstration, the High Priest of the Demon Sect managed to save his face.
Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to face the ant-like barbarian soldiers.
Of course, the High Priest of the Demon Sect still retained his strength and released the water, but did not kill him.
Ashina Duoduo and Qibi Zonglan only suffered physical pain, but were not in danger of their lives.
As for the insect eggs that have burrowed into their flesh and blood, there is still some time before they hatch. As long as the Demon Sect's high priest gives them the antidote during this period, the insect eggs will be killed and will not hatch.
"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts and don't blame me."
The day for the opening of the Dark Portal is getting closer and closer, and these high priests of the Demon Sect have been making preparations for the opening of the Dark Portal.
So he was very afraid of being disturbed by others, especially these academy disciples.
Although these guys' cultivation and strength will not cause much trouble to the High Priest of the Demon Sect, if they really fight, they will definitely attract the mountain chief to follow them immediately.
At that point it becomes a little difficult.
Opening the Dark Portal requires a long period of chanting.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect must not be distracted during this period.
As long as there is an interruption, you have to start all over again, and the high priest of the Demon Sect knows very well that he is no match for the mountain leader.
If the mountain leader really follows, let alone defeating the mountain leader and opening the Dark Door again, whether he can escape unharmed is a big question.
Therefore, the High Priest of the Demon Sect definitely does not want to take risks.
In this kind of thing, it is better to be more stable.
In order to completely eliminate the hidden danger, he must eradicate all the academy disciples sent by the mountain chief to Mobei as vanguards.
Only in this way can future troubles be avoided forever.
However, the people he sent out to search for the whereabouts of the academy disciples these days did not find any clues about the academy disciples.
This made the High Priest of the Demon Sect feel puzzled.
How could a good person disappear suddenly? This is unreasonable.
The only explanation is that these guys are hiding.
Academy disciples are very good at concealment, and even hiding at a certain angle may not be impossible.
What the High Priest of the Demon Sect has to do is to find out everyone in the academy as much as possible.
He believes that as long as it is hidden, there must be so-called clues, and it cannot disappear for no reason.
So he decided to increase the intensity of the search, even digging three feet into the ground to find these guys.
It has to be said that this cave is simply a paradise for Zhao Xun and other academy disciples.
They can rest assured to recover their strength here without worrying that the Demon Sect's high priest will send people to hunt them down.
The natural Qi forms a protective cover, keeping everyone within the protective cover in absolute safety.
Now their energy has almost recovered.
Except for the third senior brother Long Qingquan who still owes a little, everyone else has basically returned to their peak condition.
Zhao Xun was very excited about this.
"It seems we can go out now. The pursuit of the High Priest of the Demon Sect is not over yet. Brothers and sisters, we have to work harder."
"Yes, junior brother, the current situation is very favorable to us. We have almost recovered now. Not to mention a head-on confrontation with the High Priest of the Demon Sect, but at least we have no problem in protecting ourselves."
Second senior sister Liu Yingying put her hands on her hips and said, "I would like to see what this legendary door of darkness actually looks like."
Seeing the heroic appearance of Second Senior Sister Liu Yingying, Zhao Xun quickly stepped forward and flattered her: "Second Senior Sister is brave, you will be able to dig out the High Priest of the Demon Sect this time."
"Okay, let's first consider where to go after we get out of the cave."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan coughed and said, "You should still be more cautious at times like this."
"According to the established plan, we should go directly north after leaving the cave."
Zhao Xun nodded and agreed with third senior brother Long Qingquan's opinion.
As the saying goes, a ship that sails with caution will sail a thousand years, and there is nothing wrong with being more careful.
"Well, then let's follow the established plan."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan said solemnly: "At this moment, the High Priest of the Demon Sect must think that we are still hiding in a corner. Even if we suddenly emerge, we dare not act rashly. At this time, it is dark under the lamp, and the most dangerous place is
The safest place.”
Second senior sister Liu Yingying also agreed with this.
"Of course, then it's settled. But at this moment, the High Priest of the Demon Sect will definitely send out his shrimp soldiers and crab generals to search for us on a large scale. In order to prevent them from finding us, it's best for us to block our true energy."
Senior sister Xiao Ning’s suggestions are very constructive.
She hesitated for a moment and said: "Of course, there is a certain risk in this, that is, we must give up certain privileges of practitioners. But in order to ensure that we are not discovered, this is necessary."
"That's it, let's get out of the cave immediately."
It is better to choose a day than to hit it. Instead of worrying about when to go out, it is better to take advantage of the momentum and go out directly.
"Okay, then let's shield the air machine first, then remove the air mask and then we can go out."
After the academy group came out of the cave, they headed north as planned.
They were more cautious at this moment than earlier.
Any disturbance may cause them to stop and carefully observe their surroundings.
The advantage of this is that it can prevent being tracked to the greatest extent.
Among the practitioners of the Demon Sect, there are many Tanma who are good at tracking the movements of others.
If they were to target them, the academy and the others would suffer a lot.
"Sixth Brother, are we heading in the right direction now?"
Since the Hesitation Academy group gave up the unique energy of practitioners, it was naturally impossible for them to fly with swords or ride dragons.
They must walk down-to-earth in this almost primitive way.
The tall grass makes people confused and it is impossible to identify the so-called direction.
But fortunately, Senior Brother Six is proficient in Feng Shui and has a strong sense of direction.
Senior Brother Sixth has a strong sense of direction not because of any other reason, nor because of his sixth sense, but because he has a very powerful golden compass.
This golden compass is very different from other compasses. It can sense the direction set by the practitioner in advance.
No matter how big the change is in the middle, it will not have any impact.
I saw Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou carefully taking out the precious golden compass, and then adjusting the compass's pointer.
Then the compass started to move the needle naturally, as if it had been cast by magic.
At first, the pointer was shaking obviously, but as time went by, the shaking feeling became weaker and weaker, and finally it stopped pointing at one place at all.
"This is it. If we go in this direction, we will definitely find the High Priest of the Demon Sect."
Seeing that Senior Brother Sixth said so categorically, Zhao Xun and others naturally chose to believe it.
They walked along in the direction indicated by the golden compass, and sure enough, after walking for about half an hour, they walked out of the dense grass as tall as a person.
"Good guy, it's really not easy."
Zhao Xun looked at the open plain ahead and couldn't help but sigh.
A large river meanders through the plains, irrigating the water plants here.
Cattle and sheep walk freely on the grassland, eating grass roots.
"How wonderful it would be if there were no wars, how wonderful it would be if there were no people's greed."
Zhao Xun knew very well that the so-called war was caused by human greed.
Some people want to gain benefits, so they test the bottom line of others again and again.
When they know clearly that the other party cannot easily make concessions, they will not hesitate to launch a war.
If you are not good at writing, then you can do martial arts.
If we can't discuss it, we'll just grab it.
Isn’t this why the prairie barbarians repeatedly went south to plunder the Central Plains?
They envied and coveted the wealth of the Central Plains, but it was impossible to obtain this wealth solely by their own strength, so they could only plunder.
The sad thing is that even if they united the southern barbarians and the Dongyue Jiange to form an alliance, they could not defeat the powerful Zhou Dynasty.
The mountain leader played a crucial role in this.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one person guarded Chang'an City.
Of course, the Western Regions and the East China Sea Monster Kingdom were not present when they besieged Chang'an this time.
But in Zhao Xun's view, this is not critical at all.
Because these two forces together are no match for the academy.
The core of the problem is still the academy, or rather the mountain chief.
As long as the mountain chief expresses his stance, even if all the forces in the world are tied together, they will not be opponents.
That's why the High Priest of the Demon Sect wants to open the Dark Door.
As a dark wizard in this plane, the high priest certainly knows how terrible things are on the other side of the Dark Portal.
He risked backlash to open the Dark Door, naturally because the temptation in the Dark Door was too great.
He simply couldn't refuse this temptation.
"Junior brother, that is impossible. Greed is engraved in people's bones. What we can do is to suppress it. But in the end, it depends on people's personal efforts. It is impossible to eliminate it absolutely.
.”
Third senior brother Long Qingquan talked eloquently: "The simplest thing is, why has everyone wanted to be the emperor throughout the ages? Isn't it because the emperor enjoys many privileges?"
He took a deep breath and said: "Being an emperor can satisfy your own selfish desires to the greatest extent, you can take life and death, you can trample on other people's dignity and trample on other people's honor. Isn't it?"
After a pause, Long Qingquan continued: "So in the final analysis, this is all about satisfying people's selfish desires. The emperor is like this, the princes and generals are like this, and the dignitaries are like this. In fact, how can scholars be worse? But we academy disciples can suppress it
It is not easy to live in selfish desires."
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and realized that what the third senior brother said was indeed very reasonable.
Selfish desire is indeed difficult to eradicate. Being able to suppress it is already very good.
So what are the selfish desires of the High Priest of the Demon Sect?
He obviously didn't want to be emperor. If that were the case, the royal family of the northern grassland barbarians would have been replaced by him long ago.
So the Demon Sect High Priest wants to turn the entire world into a dark place?
It is said that the Demon Sect believes in the God of Darkness, the God of Death.
The God of Darkness can turn day into night, and turn people of flesh and blood into slaves.
The meaning of everyone's life is to worship the God of Darkness.
The body of darkness can swallow everything at will.
This is scary just thinking about it.
If the goal of the High Priest of the Demon Sect is truly achieved, wouldn't he become a slave of the God of Darkness?
Why bother?
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel that the High Priest of the Demon Sect was also a puppet on strings, and felt very emotional.
"Perhaps, everything is destined."
Zhao Xun felt that certain codes may have been written into the consciousness of the High Priest of the Demon Sect, and these codes drove the High Priest of the Demon Sect toward the abyss step by step.
Otherwise it would be really hard to explain.
"Let's move on. This should be deep in the Mobei grassland."
Although winter has not come yet, the grasslands are already feeling desolate.
Looking from a distance, the pasture has turned yellow.
"There is no cover here, so we should be careful. We may encounter nomadic herdsmen at any time, so don't cause conflicts."
Zhao Xun emphasized again and again.
They came here to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Sect's high priest, and there was no need to conflict with ordinary herders. They had not done anything wrong.
"Look, there's a group of people over there!"
"Well, it seems to be the dress of the Central Plains people."
"Yes, their clothes are very strange, completely different from us."
Some herdsmen who were grazing their cattle discovered Zhao Xun and others, and gathered together to talk secretly.
"Do you want to report it to the people of the Demon Sect?"
"No, let's observe it first. Otherwise, it will be a joke."
"Indeed."
"It seems like they are coming from the south. Could they be businessmen?"
"It shouldn't be merchants. There won't be such a small number of merchants. They are all a whole caravan. It looks very powerful."
"And they didn't bring any goods. What would merchants sell if they didn't bring goods?"
"Could that be Orion?"
"This is possible, but hunters shouldn't be able to hunt much prey this season, right?"
"Who knows, let's keep looking."
Zhao Xun and the others did not know that at this moment they had become targets in the eyes of the herdsmen.
The herdsmen have already become suspicious of their identities. Although they have no plans to take action yet, if this continues, it won't be long before the herdsmen report the situation here to Tanma, a practitioner of the Demon Sect.
Recently, Demon Sect Detective Horse has conducted a blanket search in this area.
Although no trace of Zhao Xun and others was found, they did not give up and kept searching.
Moreover, they have also informed this generation of herdsmen that if anyone can provide useful clues, they will give a heavy reward.
If you help the Demon Sect capture the academy disciples, the reward will be doubled.
"Junior brother, why don't we take a break? There is a river here, let's get some water to drink."
"Okay. Then we'll go there and fill up the water."
Zhao Xun nodded.
He is indeed a little thirsty. Gu Yi
Besides eating, drinking water is the most important thing when going out.
If there is a water source, the most important thing to do is to fill the water bag as soon as possible to prevent the embarrassing situation of being thirsty and wanting to drink water but having no water to drink.
"The water in this river is so clear."
Zhao Xun first took a handful of water and washed his face.
When the slightly cold water hits your face, it feels refreshing.
"Yeah, it's really not easy to find such a clear river here."
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou also washed his face and suddenly felt refreshed.
The other senior brothers and sisters also washed their faces.
When they were recovering in the cave, the most painful thing was that they couldn't wash their faces in time.
The scarcity of water resources means that they have to drink water in a hurry.
Although the amount of water that practitioners need to drink every day is much smaller than that of ordinary people, it is impossible not to drink it completely. They must drink at least one sip a day.
As for washing your face and taking a shower, you basically don’t have to think about it.
Everyone, including Zhao Xun, was unkempt and looked no different from a brown bear savage from a distance.
In the end, Zhao Xun and others decided to break out of the hole, largely because the amount of water stored was indeed bottomed out.
If we can't get enough supplements, there will be big problems.
"Wow, this water is so sweet."
Zhao Xun took a sip of the river water, which was slightly sweet and very comfortable.
"Quick, fill up the water bag."
This is the true thought of everyone, including Zhao Xun.
There really won't be any shop like this after passing this village, let's wait until there is enough water here to fill it up.
"Wow, I'm so touched. I'm really touched. I haven't drank such fresh and sweet water for a long time."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan's arrogant attitude is really a bit speechless.
Come on, the third senior brother has recovered as before, and even his mental state has become what it was before.
This made Zhao Xun even miss his third senior brother when he was injured.
At least the third senior brother at that time was not so arrogant and looked like a normal person.
"Look over there!"
It was Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou who was alert and noticed the strangeness immediately.
He pointed to the herdsmen not far away and said: "These herdsmen are approaching us."
Zhao Xun's new arrival, their identities must have been discovered.
But they obviously hid their true energy very well. How did they discover it?
Before Zhao Xun could figure it out, senior sister Xiao Ning made the decision: "Let's go."
Walk?
Where to go?
How to go?
Zhao Xun looked confused.
At this moment, the senior sister and others had drawn out their flying swords and stepped on them as quickly as possible.
Good guy, it turns out to be flying with a sword.
You didn't tell me earlier!
Of course, Zhao Xun cannot fly with a sword. Although he has been studying hard during this period, he has not learned the essence.
So for a short period of time, he still had to rely on riding a dragon to fly.
"Pippi Shrimp, let's go!"
Oh no, Pipi Shrimp is still in the chessboard space.
Zhao Xun slapped his head, and then shouted: "There is no difference in education, come out, Pipixia."
After being summoned, the white dragon quickly flew out of the chessboard space, and as usual, he began to lick Zhao Xun desperately.
Well.
"Pippi shrimp, don't lick it yet, we have to run away."
The white dragon had a spirit and understood what Zhao Xun meant, so he immediately lay down on the ground.
Zhao Xun didn't waste any time and jumped onto the back of the white dragon. Then he patted the white dragon and said, "Pippi shrimp, let's go."
The white dragon then flew into the sky. Fortunately, Zhao Xun's legs were clamped tightly enough and he was holding on to the scales of the Pipi shrimp, otherwise he might have been thrown out.
"Be careful, Pipi, they can't catch up with us."
Zhao Xun said helplessly.
In his opinion, Pipi Shrimp ran a little too fast.
Bai Jiaolong then slowed down a bit.
Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister took the lead, with Third Senior Brother and Bai Jiaolong in the middle, and Sixth Senior Brother and Tenth Senior Brother behind.
The academy disciples formed an extremely beautiful scenery in the sky.
After about a stick of incense, Zhao Xun felt safe.
He took a deep breath and asked: "Third Senior Brother, how did we get targeted? It stands to reason that we have disguised ourselves well enough."
He was really confused.
Why did these herdsmen suddenly surround us?
"It's hard to say this."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan also scratched his head.
"It seems that Demon Sect Tanma issued a notice to them, and then they made a comparison and thought we were suspicious. That can only be explained in this way."
Long Qingquan's judgment was roughly the same as Zhao Xun's.
But it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
After all, their faces and looks were completely different from those of the prairie barbarians, and they did not bring any goods, so they were definitely not merchants.
If the person who came at this time was not a businessman, his identity would indeed be questionable.
"What do we do now?"
They were forced to open their Qi machines, wield swords and ride on dragons to fly.
The advantage of doing this is that you can get rid of these herdsmen who are following you, but the problem is that you are likely to be targeted by the demon sect practitioners.
After all, practitioners of the Demon Sect have dog noses and a very sensitive sense of smell.
They can smell the scent of other practitioners and detect the fluctuations of the breath of heaven and earth.
If Zhao Xun and the others open their Qi machines this time, they will definitely be sensed by the practitioners of the Demon Sect.
"We can't care about that much anymore. Let's go to the woods to the north to take shelter. If anyone follows us, we will decide based on the situation."
Second senior sister Liu Yingying said decisively.
"good!"
The High Priest of the Demon Sect suddenly opened his eyes, and he sensed a slight fluctuation of vitality in the distance.
Although the fluctuation of vitality was very weak, he could still sense it.
Could it be that he is from the academy?
The High Priest of the Demon Sect has never given up tracking the whereabouts of the academy disciples.
In his view, these guys must be cut off to permanently eliminate future troubles.
Therefore, the High Priest of the Demon Sect decided to go there in person this time.
None of his subordinates gave him any peace of mind. After searching for so long, he didn't even see a single figure.
In the end, he had to take action himself.
But that doesn't matter.
Because the High Priest of the Demon Sect was sure that if these academy disciples were really hiding in that place with fluctuating vitality, he would be able to kill them easily if he went there this time.
He hurried back to the original place and hid before the mountain chief noticed it. Even if the mountain chief reacted and wanted to come for revenge and pursue him, it would be too late.
In just one stick of incense, the High Priest of the Demon Sect can accomplish all this neatly.
There will never be any sloppiness.
Of course, he also thought about asking Ashina Duoduo and Qibizonglan to serve their crimes.
But after thinking about it carefully, I decided to forget it.
What is most needed at this time is stability, and there is no doubt that him taking action personally is the most reliable.
"Come on, let me end this with my own hands."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect clenched his fists tightly.
He was eager to settle his grudges with the academy, and all this started by taking the lives of Zhao Xun and other academy disciples.
Mountain Chief, Mountain Chief, your mistake is that you are too arrogant, thinking that the disciples of the academy can also challenge the prestige of the Demon Sect.
In this land of Mobei, the Demon Sect is the master. As long as he stamps his feet, the earth will tremble.
Chief Shan, you will definitely pay the price for your arrogance.
No one knew that at this moment, the High Priest of the Demon Sect had turned into a wisp of black smoke and left the tent, heading for the woodland to the south.
Even his most trusted guard didn't notice it.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect travels very fast and can travel hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.
It only took less than a cup of tea to get from his big tent to the southern forest.
When the High Priest of the Demon Sect came over the forest, he could clearly smell the scent of the academy practitioners.
The smell was so obvious that he would get sick of it and vomit every time he smelled it.
You can't go wrong, you absolutely can't go wrong.
It must be these guys from the academy.
How dare you play hide-and-seek under his nose? You are so tired of living.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect immediately exhaled and forcibly sealed off the entire forest.
"You're playing tricks with me, I'm telling you that you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
Next, he will search carefully, inch by inch. As long as he discovers the academy disciples, he will kill them without hesitation.
"No, the high priest of the Demon Sect is here!"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was the first to notice something strange.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect appeared at this juncture, and he undoubtedly discovered the fluctuations in the vitality of heaven and earth.
Even such a subtle abnormality was noticed by him, which is enough to prove the power of the high priest of the Demon Sect.
"Damn it, this guy really has lost his temper. Old people don't have martial ethics."
Zhao Xun spat and cursed: "He can't help it anymore, is he going to do it himself?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Since the high priest came in person, he must have made up his mind to get rid of us. We probably won't be able to escape. Get ready to fight. Your second senior sister and I will try to hold you back as long as possible.
He, Lao Liu, quickly used the teleportation technique to inform the mountain chief and asked the mountain chief to come in time."
As the eldest sister of the academy, the senior sister plays the role of a calming needle at this moment.
As long as she doesn't panic, the other academy disciples won't panic. As long as she can withstand it, the other junior brothers and sisters can hold their own.
"Okay, I'll write to the mountain chief right now."
With the realm of a mountain chief, he can come quickly after receiving the letter.
So they just need to be careful not to collapse in one blow.
Captured, the High Priest of the Demon Sect really captured the opponent's position this time.
The aura of academy disciples here is the strongest, and there is no doubt that many people gather in this location.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect transformed from the black smoke state into a human form and landed in an open space in the dense forest.
He strode forward, hoping to capture the hiding place of the academy disciples.
This forest has now been completely sealed by him. Not even a fly can fly out, let alone the academy disciples.
All he has to do is catch the turtle in the urn.
These guys definitely can't escape.
As the High Priest of the Demon Sect was walking forward, a red whip whipped out from nowhere.
This whip is made of cowhide, has excellent elasticity and toughness, and can be expanded and contracted at will.
The sudden whip was so powerful that the High Priest of the Demon Sect did not dare to take it forcefully, but subconsciously took half a step back.
He leaned back and avoided the blow of an iron bridge.
Then the body of the Demon Sect's high priest suddenly jumped into the air.
His eyes turned blood red, and the light emitted from his eyes instantly cut down nearby trees.
In an instant, there was no obstruction nearby.
Second senior sister Liu Yingying was exposed in front of the High Priest of the Demon Sect.
But she didn't panic at all, because the next moment senior sister Xiao Ning came out with a gun.
One shot went straight towards the high priest.
Xiao Ning's marksmanship ranks among the top ten in the world!
Although she is a girl, Xiao Ning's marksmanship is very powerful and she has a domineering character.
Even the High Priest of the Demon Sect was slightly panicked.
But the high priest was a high priest after all. After a moment of panic, he returned to a calm state.
I saw him reaching forward with one hand, and actually grasped the barrel of Xiao Ning's gun.
This move shocked everyone in the academy.
You must know that senior sister Xiao Ning's marksmanship is the best in the academy. Even the mountain chief praised her after seeing it.
And it was such a unique skill that turned out to be so weak in front of the Demon Sect's high priest?
How could this happen?
Xiao Ning herself felt unbelievable.
Could it be that it is due to damage to vitality?
It shouldn't be. She obviously felt that she had returned to her peak combat power. She had gathered enough strength to stab the shot just now. How could it be so easily cracked by the Demon Sect's high priest?
Is this really a strength gap between the two sides?
Is the strength gap between the two sides so huge?
"Xiao Qi-Two and the others are in trouble!"
Haoran Academy, two-story bamboo building.
The mountain chief's expression froze after he received the letter sent by the sixth brother Lu Guangdou using the teleportation array.
This came faster than he expected.
But it doesn't matter, since preparations have been made, what the mountain leader has to do now is to use the teleportation array to teleport to the location given to him by Lu Guangdou.
"Chief, please take me with you. I can help."
Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, arrived immediately and asked the mountain chief to take him with him.
"Well, it just so happens that you can help me deal with the Demon Sect's disciples."
The mountain chief drew a circle in mid-air, and the circle instantly lit up with golden edges.
"Go through here, don't open your eyes and don't look back."
Yao Yan kept the mountain chief's words in mind. This was his first time walking into the teleportation array, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
The two stepped into the circle of light one after another and then disappeared.
The strength of the High Priest of the Demon Sect far exceeded the expectations of Zhao Xun and others.
Originally, they thought that even if they had no hope of victory, they could still hold off the Demon Sect's high priest for a while.
But now it seems that they are not related at all, and it is unknown whether they have the power to unite.
The strongest senior sister among the academy disciples, the second senior sister has already taken action one after another, and the third senior brother is not in the best condition.
Zhao Xun was sweating.
"Sixth Brother, is there any news from the Mountain Chief?"
"Not yet. But I don't think the mountain leader has time to reply now. I described the matter so urgently that he must have directly used teleportation to send it here."
"Well, that seems to be the truth."
If the mountain chief is on his way, Zhao Xun and others can still ignite hope.
"We are delaying it as much as possible now, and even if we can't, we still have to bite the bullet."
Zhao Xun clenched his fists: "If it doesn't work, force out all the zhenqi to form a protective shield so that the high priest of the Demon Sect cannot hurt our vital points in a short period of time."
"Well, it seems that's all we can do now."
The academy disciples will definitely not have an advantage when attacking, and being able to defend them is the greatest success.
For them, dragging the mountain leader all the way to get here is the wisest choice.
The mountain chief arrived at this low bush.
But he felt that something was wrong with the situation.
He couldn't smell it, it was the smell of an academy disciple.
But this was exactly the same place that Lu Guangdou, the sixth man, had marked for him.
There should be no problem.
What went wrong?
The mountain leader was not sure, but he knew that there must be a problem in some link, and what he needed to do now was to find out where the problem was.
After checking around, the mountain chief noticed a flaw.
This forest seems to have been sealed by someone.
Of course, it's not a seal in the true sense, but it means that this forest has been intentionally separated by people's true energy.
"It must be the devil's high priest."
The mountain chief is very familiar with the other party's scent. More importantly, the mountain chief knows very well that except for the high priest of the Demon Sect, no one can have such powerful cultivation and mana to separate an entire forest with true energy.
"break!"
The mountain leader faintly uttered one word, and then he easily broke through the restrictions imposed by the High Priest of the Demon Sect, and then entered the woods.
As soon as he entered the woods, Shan Chang smelled a very strong smell of demon sect practitioners.
This further confirmed his judgment.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect should be in this forest.
Shan Chang walked quickly, and after passing through a poplar tree, he saw his old rival.
"You came."
Naturally, the High Priest of the Demon Sect noticed the mountain leader at the first moment, with a slight smile on his lips: "I had expected that you would follow. You are trying to prevent me from opening the Dark Door. But I'm afraid you will be disappointed.
Already."
The words of the Demon Sect High Priest made the mountain chief frown.
"What do you mean?"
"Have you always thought that Dazhou or I am the only one in this world who has the ability to open the door of darkness?"
"Is not it?"
"Of course not."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect curled his lips and said: "The so-called Dark Door is actually just a door. How can only one person open it? As long as you master the method, anyone can open this door. Of course I will not leave behind any traces.
Hand, so you think that killing me will prevent the Dark Portal from being opened, then you are totally wrong."
After a pause, the High Priest of the Demon Sect continued: "There is another thing you may not know. The Door of Darkness is a two-way street. In other words, it is not only our world that can open the Door of Darkness, but also the world parallel to ours.
It can also open the door to darkness."
The mountain leader was completely silent at this time.
He really didn't expect this.
If it is true as the High Priest of the Demon Sect said, then the opening of the Dark Portal is almost certain.
"Are you sure you're not bluffing?"
Shan Chang knew his opponent very well.
This guy will try his best to conceal his inner thoughts, and then take advantage of your carelessness to rush out and take the opponent's life.
Of course, when facing a more powerful opponent than him, such as Shan Chang, the Demon Sect's high priest might be thinking about escaping for his life at the moment.
"bluff?"
The High Priest of the Demon Sect chuckled and said: "Do you think I would do such a stupid thing, or do you think I would make a joke with you to distract you at this juncture? Shanzhang, don't be so self-righteous, okay?
?Although you are strong, you may not have no opponents in this world."
The words of the Demon Sect High Priest made the mountain chief feel dismissive.
"I'm sorry, I really have no rivals in this world."
"."
"You are too arrogant."
"Arrogance is based on strength. I have this strength, so what's wrong with being more arrogant?"
The mountain chief raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have my strength, you can be arrogant."
"You came all the way here just to talk nonsense with me, right?"
The High Priest of the Demon Sect laughed loudly and said: "At first, I was confused as to why you would accept such a shameless guy like Zhao Xun. This guy has almost nothing but good talk. You are also the supreme being in the world.
A strong man, wouldn't you be afraid of insulting your master's name by accepting him as your disciple? But now I understand that you two are essentially the same kind of people."
"Yes, birds of a feather flock together. I accepted Xiao Qizhu as my disciple because I value certain qualities in him. In other words, I can see the shadow of my youth in Xiao Qizhu."
The mountain leader spread his hands and said: "Actually, it's not just Xiao Qizhu. Haven't you noticed that other people in the academy also have a sense of arrogance? Don't you want to know why the disciples in the academy are so arrogant?
"
"Go on."
The tone of the Demon Sect's high priest's tone became extremely cold, and his eyes revealed endless killing intent.
If the opponent in front of him was not too powerful, the High Priest of the Demon Sect would definitely take action without hesitation and tear him into pieces.
"Because this is the characteristic of a scholar. People are not frivolous and waste their youth. I am a teenager. These are what Xiao Qizhu said to me, and I think it makes sense."
The mountain chief raised his chin proudly, exactly like Long Qingquan's signature move.
"You scholars are really shameless."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect shook his head and said: "I heard that you have recruited seventy-two disciples. If everyone has the same virtue as you, then the academy will be in trouble."
"It's better than the remnants of the Demon Sect who deceive themselves and others."
The mountain chief completely ignored the provoking method of the High Priest of the Demon Sect, and said leisurely: "Some people claim to be slaves of God, but they do some sneaky things all day long. Don't you feel ashamed? Or what you worship?
Does God also like to steal chickens and dogs?"
"You old man, don't go too far."
"Oh, I almost forgot. You worship the God of Death. Because death can bring people peace, right?"
The mountain chief clicked his tongue and said: "From some angles, this does make sense, but it cannot be generalized."
The mountain leader chuckled: "Because some people die of old age, some die accidentally, and some people are murdered and die tragically. Although these people all go to death in the end, they do not all go to peace. The God of Death you believe in
, only cares about the results, that is, only cares about taking people's lives. What is there to worship about such a god?"
"You don't understand anything at all!"
The High Priest of the Demon Sect clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
Obviously, instead of irritating the mountain leader, he was angered by the mountain leader's words.
Shan Chang really knows how to anger a person. After all, he is a scholar and is a Confucian sage in the world. Shan Chang brings out the scholar's talkative qualities to the fullest.
As long as he catches a flaw, he can amplify it without limit, and the Demon Sect High Priest will have no resistance at all.
"Don't forget, we are also practitioners after all, and we should have the consciousness of practitioners. Just relying on words is very demeaning."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect, seeing that Shan Zhang was unreasonable, said with a pinched neck.
"Then it depends on who you compare with."
The mountain leader shook his head indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter if old guys like us spray each other, we are already our age anyway. Besides, no one else will hear it."
The words of the mountain chief made the high priest of the Demon Sect dumbfounded.
"Look at you, you still don't look like you are a role model for others."
"It's nice of me to be like this, but you look so condescending. Behind your back, your disciples and disciples don't know how to evaluate you."
After the two sides had a tentative exchange of words, the High Priest of the Demon Sect wanted to deliberately divert the topic.
Because he really couldn't bear the humiliation.
If Shan Chang was allowed to continue on this topic, he really didn't know if he would go crazy.
"How much do you know about the Dark Portal? Or about the continent of Ellen Lore."
The high priest's expression was very solemn. He took the initiative to bring up this topic in the hope that the mountain chief would be interested.
But if the mountain chief never takes the bait, he actually has no good solution.
"I know very little about it, but I would like to hear the details."
The commander of the mountain said it very concisely, but still did not forget to say "book bag".
"A long, long time ago, our world and the continent of Ellen Lore were actually connected. What I mean by the connection between the two is not just the connection through the Dark Portal, but the real connection.
Just like Bashu and the Central Plains, Mobei and the Central Plains, and the Western Regions and the Central Plains."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect was very straightforward, and directly gave the mountain chief some popular science.
"So what?"
The mountain chief said impatiently: "Just focus on the key points. If you tell the story like this, you won't be able to tell the key points even when it gets dark."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, the important point will come."
"Until one day, the God of Darkness came to the world. He saw people fighting each other in order to compete for power and interests, and even fathers and sons killed each other, and brothers quarreled with each other. In order to compete for interests, people fully exposed their greedy and ugly side. The Dark God
God couldn't stand it any longer, so he decided to split the world into two, giving the two worlds completely different external environments and allowing them to develop slowly. The God of Darkness wanted to see what people would do under different environments.
Will the choice be different?"
"So are things different?"
"No."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect shook his head and said: "The God of Darkness discovered that although the external environment was different, the greed shown by people was exactly the same. The God of Darkness was very disappointed. He originally wanted to use people from one world to influence others.
People in one world will eventually realize the common development of people in two worlds. But the reality is that people in these two worlds are essentially the same species. Therefore, the God of Darkness closed the door and allowed people in these two worlds to continue to evolve."
"But what does this have to do with the opening of the Dark Portal?"
Seeing that the high priest of the Demon Sect had not yet come to the point, the mountain chief became a little impatient.
"Of course it has a lot to do with it."
The high priest of the Demon Sect raised his head and said: "You can understand it this way, the Demon Sect is the messenger who opens the door to darkness in our world, and that world is the wizard. But we are just messengers, and we do not really decide when the darkness can be opened.
There is only one person from the Gate, and that is the God of Darkness.”
The mountain chief wanted to laugh after hearing this: "You don't really want to tell me that there is a dark god in this world, do you? Do you think I will believe it?"
"Believe it or not, but this is indeed the truth that we have believed in all these years."
The Demon Sect's high priest's face was stern and he exhaled.
I saw a long painting appearing in front of him.
The paintings show scenes of people hunting, hunting, and fishing in ancient times.
Next came the slave society, and people gradually developed a hierarchical system.
Later, people entered the feudal era, and the division of classes became more strict and regulated.
Emperors, princes and generals, scholar-bureaucrats and scholars, ordinary farmers and businessmen, and then the untouchables
The levels one by one are as clear as a pyramid.
"What do you mean by asking me to look at this painting?"
The mountain chief knew that the High Priest of the Demon Sect must be up to something, so he simply pointed at him and said, "You might as well be more direct."
"Don't you understand that our so-called civilization is actually ridiculous in the eyes of God? It is no different from a child playing house."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect spread his hands and said: "Look, are there any differences in essence between slave society and feudal society? Isn't it still the same as the law of the jungle of nature? The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. The strong can always occupy a place.
, while weak people can only pick up what others eat and even become prey in others' mouths. Do you think this world is fair?"
"Whether it's fair or not is not your decision."
The mountain chief was a little impatient.
"Indeed, it is God who has the final say. When the God of Darkness feels that the world is hopeless, he will open the door of darkness and let the people of the two worlds fight for power and kill each other. In the end, the two worlds
All people will die together, and only a handful of people will survive to re-establish order and build a new transition."
Hearing this, the mountain leader felt his scalp numb and his hair standing on end.
He didn't know whether the so-called God of Darkness mentioned by the High Priest of the Demon Sect existed or not.
If this god really exists, wouldn't it be too devoid of conscience?
Or does he have no conscience at all?
In order to achieve his own goals, this god of darkness did not hesitate to force the people of the two worlds to kill each other, and also called it to establish a new order.
This is simply a beast.
"We scholars have a word called being a tiger's assistant. It couldn't be more appropriate to apply it to you."
The mountain chief stared coldly at the High Priest of the Demon Sect, glanced at him with a very disdainful look and said: "You know that this so-called God of Darkness is a hungry tiger, but you are still willing to do things for him. Your behavior is really shameful.
I'm not ashamed."
"Whatever you say is up to you, but you must know that your personal power cannot stop God's will."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect sneered: "Even without me, there will be others who are willing to do things for the God of Darkness. In other words, the Door of Darkness will eventually open, and it is impossible to stop it."
"At the beginning, I really wanted to prevent you from opening the Dark Door, but if it is true that the Dark Door will open sooner or later as you said, I would like to see what kind of monster will come out of that door. Can I be alone?
Enemy."
"You may be invincible in this world, and maybe people in that world can't do anything to you. But have you ever thought about it, you are a human after all, not a god. If the dark man wants you to die, how can you survive?"
The two of them chatted to death.
The high priest of the Demon Sect was not impressed by the arrogance of the mountain chief, but said coldly: "Of course, you can try to kill me now, if you have the ability."
After saying that, the High Priest of the Demon Sect turned into a plume of black smoke and disappeared from the face of the mountain chief.
"If you still want to escape, don't even think about it!"
I saw the mountain chief shouting and chasing after the high priest of the Demon Sect in the direction of escape.
In order to keep up with the speed of the Demon Sect's high priest, the mountain chief also transformed into a bunch of golden smoke.
Zhao Xun and others in the distance were dumbfounded.
Originally, they had made preparations for a fight to the death, but unexpectedly the mountain chief suddenly appeared and completely attracted the attention of the High Priest of the Demon Sect.
The high priest of the Demon Sect chatted with the mountain chief for a long time, but both parties turned into a wisp of smoke and flew away.
From their perspective, black smoke and golden smoke chased each other, sometimes mixing and wrestling together, and sometimes scattering.
This was the first time Zhao Xun saw practitioners fighting like this.
It seemed that neither side spared any effort, but exerted their strength to the extreme from the beginning.
This kind of showdown between top cultivators is rare, so Zhao Xun opened his big eyes and carefully observed everything happening in front of him.
He didn't know if he would have the chance to become a super master in the future.
But there is a saying that goes well, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
At least for now, it seems that he has the resources and talent.
Therefore, he should work harder and try his best to push in that direction.
Whether it will be possible in the future is another matter.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan also looked at it with a mesmerized look on his face.
"As expected of the mountain leader, he is really too strong."
Long Qingquan can be said to be Shan Zhang’s number one fan.
In the past, when he was in the academy, Long Qingquan would always accompany Mr. Shan, doing laundry and cooking, laying out paper and grinding ink, eating and playing with him.
Although this kind of life sounds a bit boring, Long Qingquan didn't complain at all.
Because he knew that he had done what countless people wanted to do but had no chance to do.
He is serving the mountain chief and the Confucian sage of the world.
Of course, Long Qingquan would also take advantage of the opportunity of close contact with the mountain leader to steal one or two lessons from him.
This is mainly because the principal or academy advocates the educational philosophy of teaching without distinction.
All the disciples who entered the sect, including Long Qingquan, and the disciples who came out of the sect, did not have a template for teaching.
Under this circumstance, life in the academy becomes very flexible and open.
All things need to be explored by academy disciples themselves.
If you get it right, it's best. If you get it wrong, you're likely to go astray.
Long Qingquan himself has made many attempts, and of course his results are pretty good.
At least the title of a second-grade cultivator can be used to scare people, and it does not mean that he has fallen into the status of a disciple of the mountain leader.
"Third Senior Brother, how long do you think it will take for the High Priest of the Demon Sect and the Mountain Chief to fight to determine the winner?"
"It's hard to say. If the person closest to the mountain leader in this world is probably the High Priest of the Demon Sect."
Long Qingquan swallowed and said: "At that time in the battle of Chang'an, the battle between the high priest of the Demon Sect and the mountain chief was inextricable. In the end, the mountain chief also won by a narrow margin. Moreover, in order to avoid injury, the high priest of the Demon Sect did not use all his strength. If
The High Priest of the Demon Sect finally used all his strength and the result is yet to be seen."
Good guy.
After hearing Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's analysis, Zhao Xun became a little nervous.
You must know that he always thought that Shan Chang's level of strength could steadily surpass the high priest of the Demon Sect.
But now it seems that Shan Chang's advantage is not as obvious as Zhao Xun imagined.
"I thought that the strength of the High Priest of the Demon Sect was similar to that of the Eastern Yue Sword Saint Wei Wuji."
"Actually, I thought so too at first."
Long Qingquan showed an awkward smile: "But now it seems that the Dongyue Sword Master is not the second in the world, but the third in the world. The mountain chief should firmly sit on the throne of the first in the world, and the second in the world should be
This is the great master of the Demon Sect in front of me."
Zhao Xun was silent.
During the Battle of Chang'an, Wei Wuji desperately entered the palace and wanted to take Emperor Xianlong's head. The mountain chief took action to fight with him.
After dozens of rounds, Wei Wuji hugged his head and ran away.
Being third in the world is not enough, but what about being second in the world?
You can see the difference today.
"Actually, I'm more worried about what the High Priest of the Demon Sect said just now."
Zhao Xun has no doubt that Shan Zhang will win.
It is nothing more than the difference between a big victory, an easy victory, a narrow victory, and a bitter victory.
But if what the Demon Sect High Priest said is true, then the Dark Portal may not be able to prevent it from opening.
If the dark door is really opened, what will come out of that door?
Zhao Xun has dreamed of the world in the Dark Portal more than once, which is the so-called Ellen Lore continent.
Zhao Xun once witnessed that world from Prince Luca's first-person perspective in a dream.
That world was as colorful as the world Zhao Xun lived in, but if there was a war, the colorful colors would inevitably be cast into a haze.
Is it really necessary to fight?
Zhao Xun sometimes felt a little confused.
War is a way to obtain benefits through violent means, and it is also a militarized expression of politics.
But is war really necessary?
Part of what the High Priest of the Demon Sect said just now deeply touched Zhao Xun.
That is, these people fight back and forth and return to the starting point, then reproduce and rejuvenate, and move toward prosperity.
Prosperity is followed by endless war.
This cycle goes back and forth, as if there is no end.
