"This fellow Taoist looks so strange, but I don't know where he comes from?" Wan Tianming's eyes flashed slightly and he asked suddenly.
"It's just a casual cultivator, not worth mentioning." Xu Qingcheng's expression was calm, but she was secretly shuddering in her heart. She asked herself that the power of the Qi-condensing secret technique she used was not low, but she didn't expect that it still attracted the attention of others. This master of Wanfa Sect is worthy of his reputation.
He is a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which is indeed not simple.
Of course, she is not afraid of the opponent. Although her realm is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, with the help of several top-notch ancient treasures and many ancient secret techniques, there is no problem in self-protection.
Furthermore, in this situation, it is impossible for the other party to fight her.
Seeing her attitude made Wan Tianming even more convinced that the other party was obviously not at the Dan Formation stage. However, he was obviously a Nascent Soul stage monk, but he was so hidden, maybe there was some ulterior motive?
Thinking of this, he immediately sneered and said:
"It seems that Wan doesn't have enough face, fellow Taoist fellow Taoist fellow Taoist Daoist doesn't even bother to introduce me."
"Master Wanmen is really a big arrogant person. What's wrong with people not wanting to introduce them? Do they still need to rely on your Wanfamen's strength to intimidate?" At this time, other Yuanying Stage monks also had a hint of speculation, as their sworn enemies.
, Barbarian Beard will not miss the opportunity to provoke, and immediately starts making sarcastic remarks.
Wan Tianming was almost so angry that he vomited blood, but he just asked casually. He felt unhappy after being rejected, and his attitude was naturally colder, but he had no intention of making enemies. Unexpectedly, Man Beard caught the reason and took the opportunity to provoke him.
"Wan is just chatting with this fellow Taoist, what does it have to do with you?"
"Someone tramples on the uneven road, but Man just can't stand your hypocrisy." Man Beard sneered, looking like I just said it, what can you do to me?
"Manbeard, are you planning to start a war now?" The other party just pointed at his nose and called him a hypocrite. Wan Tianming's expression suddenly turned cold, and his majestic momentum suddenly burst out.
"I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Barbarian Beard's eyes widened, showing no intention of flinching.
Seeing that something was wrong, the expressions of the other Nascent Soul stage monks changed slightly, and then they began to persuade each other. Especially for the righteous party, the main purpose was to obtain the treasure, and the gain outweighed the loss by taking action now.
Moreover, there are too many things that are wrong with Xutian Palace this time. It must be the secret manipulation of Xing Gong. There may be other conspiracies waiting in the future. Wouldn't it be in line with each other's wishes for the two sides to fight?
Neither Wan Tianming nor Man Beard are fools. Naturally, they don’t really want to take action, they just don’t want to weaken their momentum. Now that there are steps, they will naturally follow the trend and not continue to target.
However, the former is a bit depressed after all. At least with Man Beard's interference, this strange Nascent Soul monk who is a casual cultivator can no longer have anything to do with the righteous side.
Fortunately, the other party has always been withdrawn and unwilling to communicate with anyone, so there is no need to worry about the other party getting together with the devil.
Xu Qingcheng looked indifferent and didn't say anything more. Instead, she found a place to sit down cross-legged and closed her eyes to rest.
The surroundings became quiet again. As time passed slowly, the teleportation arrays were gradually opened, and several monks in the pill formation stage appeared one after another.
Like Xu Qingcheng, as soon as these monks show up, they will immediately be scrutinized by the old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage, for fear of discovering a few more hidden ones, which will cause unnecessary twists and turns.
Among them were a gray-haired old man, a thin man, and Yuan Yao, who was covered in black robes.
The first two have enough confidence, so they are naturally not afraid, but they deliberately show caution on their faces.
Yuan Yao, on the other hand, was truly frightened. Facing the inquiring and vaguely evil eyes of the old monsters in the Nascent Soul Stage, Yuan Yao suddenly felt frightened and quickly approached Xu Qingcheng.
This aroused everyone's surprise. Is it possible that the two people are related?
Soon, Mo Juren and Han Li also arrived late one after another. They looked at each other, but also walked towards Xu Qingcheng.
In this way, the others instantly realized that these four were in the same group. No wonder the three juniors at the Dan Formation Stage were able to reach this point. It turned out that they were protected by strong men at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Wan Tianming's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He was quite bearded. With his character, if he wanted to participate in the treasure hunt this time, he would naturally not want to see so many monks in the pill formation stage fishing in troubled waters.
Unfortunately, with Ji Yin disappearing for no reason, there is no chance of obtaining the treasure. He only intends to prevent the right party from obtaining the Xutian Cauldron, and is too lazy to care about the others.
More than an hour later, as a violent shaking came from the ground, the huge stone door of the inner hall slowly rose up, revealing a bluestone passage.
At the same time, the teleportation array located in the center of the crowd dimmed and became dim.
"It seems that the two old guys from Xing Palace really don't plan to come in. It's just right. Wan Tianming, we might as well compete with each other. If you lose, you are not as good as others. What qualifications do you have to enter the inner palace?"
?" Seeing the changes in the teleportation array, Barbarian Beard suddenly stood up and laughed.
In his opinion, no matter whether he wins or loses in this battle, his side will definitely benefit. After all, even if the opponent has the upper hand, a lot of mana will be consumed, so how can he still have the ability to get the treasure?
Wan Tianming naturally thought of this level, but he was unwilling to do so and said with a flash of his eyes:
"Brother Man wants to learn from each other, and Wan is naturally willing to accompany him. But, are you really planning to take action?"
"What, you're scared!" Barbarian Beard sneered.
"Afraid?" Wan Tianming snorted coldly,
"Have you ever been afraid of anyone in your life? I just don't want to fight fearlessly."
"Man is what annoys you the most upright hypocrites. If you have any questions, hurry up and don't beat around the bush and make people unhappy." Man's face turned cold and he said again,
"Of course, if you can convince me, or give up the idea of destroying the Xutian Cauldron, it is not impossible for Man to consider peaceful coexistence."
"Brother Man, as a high-level executive of the Demonic Way, should know the situation outside, right?" Wan Tianming suddenly moved his lips slightly and whispered. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Man Beard was startled for a moment.
"You mean..."
"Brother Man is indeed both rough and subtle. He guessed Wan's meaning right away." Wan Tianming raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued to transmit the message,
"After all, the war should have begun. Although you and I belong to the two factions of good and evil, we are all members of the Counter Star Alliance, and our common enemy is the Star Palace. If we fight here and both sides suffer, wouldn't it be just right?
Did you give the other party an advantage?
The conflict between you and me is just a trivial matter. As long as Brother Man opens his mouth, we can discuss it whenever we want, but it is not suitable now. As the top leaders of good and evil, you and I still have to put the overall situation first."
"Master Wan is worthy of being the leader of the righteous path, and his sharp words are admirable. However, it would be too whimsical to ask Man to stop relying on some overall situation. If you get the Xutian Cauldron, what good will it do to my demonic path?
?" Barbarian Beard was obviously not a good person, and he pointed out the key point directly.
Wan Tianming seemed to have expected it. He still looked calm and continued to transmit the message calmly: "I also understand Brother Man's thoughts. I think the words of competition just now were also to prevent Wan from getting the Xutian Cauldron. But, Man
How can I be sure that I will succeed? If I fail in the end, what's the point of competing at this moment?"
"Failed?" Manbeard frowned, and had to admit that what the other party said was somewhat reasonable. If the collection of the cauldron really failed, then all the effort would be in vain.
"It's rumored that you got more than one golden cicada, so you're pretty sure about it, right?"
"How is that possible?" Wan Tianming shook his head slightly and continued,
"The Xutian Cauldron has existed since ancient times. It has been countless thousands of years, but no one has ever been able to obtain this cauldron. The difficulty can be imagined. Wan was just unwilling to give it a try and got his wish."
"That's true. It's just that it's impossible for Man to believe it and just give up, unless you agree to a condition." Man Beard thought for a while, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.
"Brother, it's okay to talk."
"It's very simple. Don't you want it but have your wish? Very good. Man is not unreasonable and is willing to fulfill your wish. He will not even interfere during the process of obtaining the tripod. However, the three of us will accompany you. Once the tripod is successful,
, how about you and I competing based on our strength?"
"You..." Hearing the other party's request, Wan Tianming was almost furious. This was clearly asking him to contribute on the right side, but the other party directly chose to be a fisherman and a free wolf. It was really shameless.
But then I thought again, if this guy keeps being so entangled, he won't even think about taking the tripod, and he will get nothing. Instead of doing this, it would be more cost-effective to agree to the other party.
Needless to say, if it fails at that time, once the tripod is successfully obtained, both parties will compete based on their abilities, and there is still a possibility of finally obtaining the Xutian tripod.
He did not reply immediately, but secretly discussed with Tian Wuzi and the old farmer beside him.
The same is true for Man Beard. If he wants to get the treasure tripod, he cannot lack the support of the old man in Confucian clothing and the beautiful woman in white dress. The former has no problem, but the beautiful woman in white dress is a little hesitant.
After all, her strength is a bit weak because she majored in martial arts. It was only after she learned a 'Luan Feng Sword Technique' and switched to sword cultivation that she improved.
However, compared to other monks of the same level, it is still slightly inferior. What's more, this is very likely to be a melee involving Nascent Soul monks. There are even strong men in the middle Nascent Soul stage between the two sides. If you are not careful, it will
Will suffer heavy losses.
Don't worry about Liu Dao's face, it's just that the interests you face are not enough. If they really fight for the Xutian Cauldron, the righteous party headed by Wan Tianming will never hold back at all.
Her desire to enter the inner hall was not strong at first, but she still came in by accident. She only planned to look for some treasures below the fourth floor and did not want to go to the fifth floor.
Obviously seeing her hesitation, the two men with Manbeard suddenly became anxious and advised again: "Mrs. Wen must not hesitate. Not to mention that this matter is related to the interests of my demonic path. It is the Xutian Cauldron and the treasures in it.
It is hard to find in the world, far beyond the treasures on the lower floors.
Madam must be aware of the name of the ‘Building Heaven Pill’. Don’t you want this kind of treasure that can refine your spiritual roots and improve your qualifications?”
"Brother Man's words are reasonable. Furthermore, the possibility of Wan Tianming's final success is actually not high, so why should Madam make a decision in a hurry. If it fails, it will not be too late to return to the lower level to search for treasures."
"The two of us can decide and agree to Madam. If we are willing to help, how about letting Madam choose one of the treasures harvested during this trip?"
"..."
The two took turns to persuade them, even giving up huge benefits, which made the beautiful woman in the white dress waver again. Thinking of the legendary 'Heaven-Building Pill', she was also extremely moved.
To take a step back, after all, she belongs to the demonic side. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come. Now that she has come, the two people in front of them still have to worry about their face. And if they refuse the other party's invitation, their success rate in fighting for the treasure will inevitably be greatly reduced.
, which is tantamount to a disguised loss of interests, there is no guarantee that she will not be resentful.
Of course, the Xutian Cauldron is not so easy to obtain, otherwise it would not be able to survive until now. If I agree, I may not take action in the end, and I have to get a favor, so it is not impossible to consider it.
After some tangle and weighing, she finally chose to agree. The two men were immediately overjoyed and thanked them profusely.
At this time, Wan Tianming and the others also made a decision and agreed to each other's proposal. Both parties no longer hesitated and immediately started to set off, filing in towards the Shimen ahead.
After all these old monsters disappeared, the remaining monks lost their scruples and rushed towards the stone gate.
On the other hand, the white-haired old man and the thin man, who obviously stayed at the end deliberately, looked at Mo Juren deeply before entering the stone gate, and then entered it without hesitation.
"The development of things has become different!" Mo Juren sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he was also thinking quickly about the impact it would have on him. At least one thing, he was unable to determine the direction of the next situation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth, so I don't want to worry about it and just let nature take its course.
Thinking of this, Mo Juren put away his thoughts and looked around. At this time, everyone else had disappeared, leaving only the four of them.
Yuan Yao thanked him again, then said goodbye and left. Mo Juren understood the other party's purpose, but did not stop him, but allowed him to leave.
However, when looking at the other person's disappearing back, a strange look flashed through his eyes, which was fleeting.
"Master, she..." Han Li thought of something and quickly reminded him.
"Don't worry, I know it well." The secret realm where the soul-raising tree is located is on the second floor of the inner palace. There is a powerful forbidden guard inside. It is impossible for Yuan Yao's strength to break through it in a short time.
After he finishes his own affairs, he can be teleported directly through the hidden teleportation array on the fifth floor.
Of course, everything is possible. In order to prevent unexpected situations, he did not really let the other party leave, but did some tricks on him in advance.
"I have asked many times before, but you have never revealed anything. Now you can tell me, what is your plan? Are you really going to compete with those old monsters for the Xutian Cauldron?" Xu Qingcheng did not care about Yuan Yao's situation.
Instead, she asked the question she was most concerned about. After all, she came to Xutian Temple to gain something, but judging from the current situation, it seemed unrealistic.
"Don't worry!" Mo Juren just smiled slightly, but remained tight-lipped. Han Li has long been accustomed to this way of doing things. His master has always been like this since he was a child. Don't expect to know any information in advance until the last moment.
.
However, Xu Qingcheng was obviously not used to it. After she found the broken map of Xutian, she began to ask about the other party's plans, but unfortunately she never got a response. The scratching feeling made her feel depressed, even to the point of
Now I feel like I’m being driven crazy.
Mo Juren didn't seem to see the change in the other person's expression, but let go of his consciousness to explore for a moment.
It wasn't until he was sure that there were no outsiders that he thought. In a flash of blue light, an ice-blue token two fingers wide and three inches long appeared in the palm of his hand.
The icy chill instantly penetrated his heart through his skin. It had no effect, but it inevitably brought back some memories of his past.
On the front of the token is engraved a simple "Xu" character, and the body is slightly delicate, obviously made by a woman. On the back is a strange tripod-shaped pattern engraved, with an unknown blue surrounding it. The flame is burning, mysterious and extraordinary.
This is exactly the token that he got in the underground cave of Spirit Beast Mountain in the past. He doesn't know its specific function, but he can be sure of one thing. It must be inextricably linked to Xiaoji Palace on Beiming Island in Dajin. .
If he remembers correctly, the legendary Ice Soul Fairy's family name is Xu, which corresponds to the front of the token. The small cauldron and blue flames engraved on the back are obviously Xutian Cauldron and Dry Blue Ice. Flame.
Since getting this token, he has imagined more than once, whether there will be a connection between this thing and the current Xutian Temple? Will it be helpful to his next actions?
Looking at the token in his hand, not only him, but also Han Li and Xu Qingcheng on the side showed unconcealed curiosity.
Mo Juren did not hesitate, and immediately mobilized the magic power in his body to input it into the token. He had tried this kind of thing more than once, and what was even more strange was that the token could only hold the magic power produced by the 'Ice Soul Xuan Gong' in his body. , others cannot.
However, in the past, the token only absorbed mana, but never showed any abnormality. Until now, inside the Xutian Temple, something is finally different.
