The agreed time of half an hour has long passed, and Zhao Yuanpu's severed arm has been reattached using magical powers and applied with the best ointment. It only takes ten and a half days of rest to restore it to its original state.
But his pale face and wandering eyes let people know that his condition was not very good.
Although he noticed something was wrong and dodged sideways in time, he still could not completely avoid the terrifying giant blade that followed him everywhere. In the end, his right arm was cut off at shoulder level.
As a late-stage Nascent Soul monk, he was severely wounded by a first-level Nascent Soul monk in a head-on confrontation. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhao Yuanpu.
He himself knew that at that time he had absolutely no intention of underestimating the enemy, and he had made sufficient preparations for his own protection, but he was still severely injured by Zhou Yang.
Until now, when he recalled the giant dragon-headed blade that could even tear apart space, he was still frightened and shocked.
He was almost split into two pieces by the giant dragon-headed blade!
Before the fight, neither Zhao Yuanpu himself, nor the three Nascent Soul stage monks Qingyang Zhenren, Wei Qi, Deng Zhenren, or even Zhou Yang could have expected that the final result would be like this!
Zhao Yuanpu and others completely underestimated Zhou Yang's true strength, while Zhou Yang underestimated the power of the move [Blue Dragon Splitting Sky].
After all, this was the first time he used this move since he learned it.
Although he had long known that this move was extremely powerful and had the power to seriously injure late Yuanying monks, but without seeing it with his own eyes, he was always unsure.
However, this move is extremely fierce, and it can kill three thousand enemies and damage yourself by eight hundred.
This can be seen from the fact that he can only hide in a closed room in Hellfire City to heal his injuries under the protection of Zhenren Qingyang.
You must know that with his character, if the injury was not really serious, he would never heal on the territory of the "enemy" he had just injured.
"Senior Brother Zhao, how do you feel? That kid is still recovering in Hellfire City. Do you want us to..."
In the quiet room, Wei Qi, the second elder of Shenhuo Palace, looked at the eldest elder Zhao Yuanpu, whose eyes were wandering and wandering. He endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak out.
While he was speaking fierce words, he made a gesture with his hand to behead someone with a knife, and his intention was very obvious.
But after he finished speaking, before Zhao Yuanpu responded, the man next to him, Deng Zhenren, had already changed his expression and said: "Senior Brother Wei, no!"
I saw Master Deng saying loudly and excitedly: "After all, Zhou Yang is the guest prince and elder of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, and Master Qingyang, the Supreme Elder of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, is accompanying him here.
He is not afraid to declare war directly with the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and even the entire [Xuanqing Taoist Alliance], which is not a good thing for our Shenhuo Palace!"
"Hmph, Junior Brother Deng, why are you so excited? Haven't you always been fearless? Why are you so scared when you hear the name Xuanyang Immortal Sect?"
Wei Qi snorted coldly, glanced at Master Deng with an unhappy expression, and said coldly: "Don't forget, Xuanyang Immortal Sect is no longer the Liuyun Continent where the ninth-level Yuanying monks and nine Yuanying monks were stationed in the past.
They are the number one sect in the world of cultivating immortals. Including Master Qingyang, they only have two more Nascent Soul monks than our Shenhuo Palace. Even if they really start a war with us because of that Zhou Yang, do we, the Shenhuo Palace, have to go to war with us?
Are you afraid of them?"
"And Junior Brother Deng, don't forget that although the Xuanyang Immortal Sect is huge, it also has many enemies. If they dare to go out to the southern barbarians to fight against our Shenhuo Palace, their enemies will be able to see what they can do?"
Master Deng was also a fiery person. After hearing Wei Qi's sarcastic words, he immediately got angry and yelled: "Brother Wei, what do you mean by this? What will a war with Xuanyang Immortal Sect do to our Shenhuo Palace?"
What's the benefit? Don't you think that a dead camel is bigger than a horse? Xuanyang Immortal Sect is no longer better than before, and it is not comparable to our Shenhuo Palace. Someone Deng would like to ask Senior Brother Wei, what gave you the courage to
How brave are you to start a war with Xuanyang Immortal Sect?"
"That's enough! Shut up, I!"
Zhao Yuanpu suddenly shouted angrily, which stopped the quarrel between the two junior brothers.
His sharp eyes swept over the faces of the two of them, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Qi, who had a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Junior brother Wei, what I said just now is that you are emotionally disturbed because of your heartache over the death of Junior Brother Dai.
And you said such angry words, I don’t want to hear them again in the future!”
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhao, since you said that, just think that Junior Brother just talked nonsense."
Wei Qi's eyes flashed with anger, but he did not dare to argue with Zhao Yuanpu. He just sneered and stopped talking.
Zhao Yuanpu knew his temper and was not surprised. He just shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Although our Shenhuo Palace does not advertise itself as a famous and upright family, we are not repeating villains who break their promises. Since Zhou Yang has succeeded in
My men have been supporting me for half an hour, so what I said will definitely come true. From now on, none of you are allowed to privately trouble his son Zhou Guangcheng, otherwise don’t blame me for ignoring the friendship between the same family!"
Although he said this in front of Wei Qi and Deng Zhenren, everyone knew who he was talking to.
Therefore, when Wei Qi heard what he said, his face immediately trembled, his throat moved, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he endured it and remained silent.
However, Master Deng was annoyed by his previous words, so he responded loudly and deliberately: "Deng is following the instructions of the great elder."
"you……"
Wei Qi glared at Mr. Deng angrily, his teeth itching with hatred.
But facing Zhao Yuanpu's stern look, he could only say bitterly: "Wei also promises not to do anything to that little beast in private!"
"Very good, I hope you all remember what you said."
Zhao Yuanpu nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, I am injured, so I won't leave the two junior brothers here. The two junior brothers can go about their own business."
"Then, senior brother, please rest in peace and recuperate. Wei will go back to the mountain gate first."
Wei Qi said and immediately exited the room.
However, Master Deng was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Zhao Yuanpu and asked with concern: "Great Elder, is your injury okay?"
Zhao Yuanpu did not answer, but closed his eyes tightly, as if sensing something.
After a moment, he relaxed his eyebrows, opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, he is really gone!"
"Great Elder, what are you..."
Master Deng looked at him puzzled, his eyes full of doubts.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanpu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Junior Brother Wei's character is too gloomy and he is mean and vicious. It's okay to be an ordinary elder of the sect, but he is definitely not suitable to be a powerful person like the great elder. This
If he were to take charge of the Shenhuo Palace in the future, it would most likely ruin my thousand years of hard work. I will never let this happen. Junior Brother Deng, do you understand?"
"Although it is unethical to speak ill of people behind their backs, Junior Brother, I agree with what you said this time, Senior Elder. Senior Brother Wei does have a big problem with his character!"
Master Deng nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but say: "He thought he hid it very well, but how could he hide his affair with Taoist monk Dai Hongle from you and me? I'm afraid it was Dai Hongle himself.
I also know this, so I often travel out and seldom return to the mountain cave!"
When Zhao Yuanpu heard what he said, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily: "Hey! Forget it, let's not talk about him. As long as he doesn't go too far, we can just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.
Just look at it, after all, he is also an important combat force of the sect!"
Hearing this, Master Deng could not help but nodded slightly and said, "Junior brother, I understand this, so I have never mentioned this matter in front of him."
"I know that Junior Brother Deng is a sensible person, so I specially asked you to stay here to discuss an important matter with you."
As Zhao Yuanpu spoke, he suddenly waved his hand and placed a layer of soundproof barrier in the room.
Then under Master Deng's surprised eyes, he said in a solemn tone: "Junior brother Deng, do you still remember the life experience of our third generation founder of Shenhuo Palace [Master Huolin] Chu Zhennan?"
"Of course I remember that Patriarch Zhennan is the first great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage in our Shenhuo Palace. His talent is even better than that of the founder of the sect. It was under his leadership that our Shenhuo Palace truly became the first great monk in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
A big sect, if his old man hadn't suddenly disappeared and died outside, with his peerless talent, it would not be impossible for him to survive the tribulation and become an immortal!"
Master Deng was stunned for a moment, then told the story of his ancestor's past glory with admiration on his face.
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly focused, as if he understood something. He looked at Zhao Yuanpu with some excitement and asked loudly: "But why did you suddenly mention this, Senior Brother Zhao? Could it be that the important thing you want to say is?
Is it related to the accidental disappearance and death of Patriarch Zhennan back then?"
"Yes, it is related to the disappearance and death of ancestor Zhennan back then. To be precise, I have found the place where ancestor Zhennan disappeared and died!"
Zhao Yuanpu nodded slightly and said the big news that made Deng Zhenren almost jump up.
"Where is it? Senior Brother Zhao, are you telling the truth?"
Master Deng suddenly stood up and looked at Zhao Yuanpu with surprise on his face.
Then he seemed to realize that he seemed to be a little too excited. He quickly recited the Qingxin mantra in his heart to calm down the excitement in his heart. He sat down again and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Zhao, since you have found Mr. Zhennan,
The place where the ancestor fell, and the remains and relics of his old man were not welcomed back to the sect, is there something hidden in this?"
"It seems that Junior Brother Deng has also thought of it. Yes, it's not that I don't want to welcome Patriarch Zhennan's remains and relics back to the sect, it's that I simply can't do it!"
Zhao Yuanpu smiled bitterly, and then took the initiative to tell the whole story without waiting for Deng Zhenren to continue asking questions.

"Junior Brother Deng, who is a good teacher, knows that after I could no longer make progress in my cultivation more than two hundred years ago, when I started to sort out the travel notes of the ancestors of our sect, I accidentally discovered something from a note left by the ancestor Zhennan.
There may be clues related to the disappearance of the old man, and then I spent more than 20 years searching for the traces, and finally found the real place where the old man died!"
"What I never imagined was that the place where Patriarch Zhennan fell was not only extremely dangerous, but there was also a strange beast guarding it that was as powerful as a late-stage Nascent Soul monk. That strange beast occupied the
Due to its geographical advantages, I am no match for it. After several attempts to no avail, I know that it is impossible for me to bring back the relics of Zhennan Patriarch alone!"
"How could this happen!" Master Deng couldn't help but exclaimed.
But the next moment, he seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "No, Senior Brother Zhao, there is a big loophole in what you said. According to the sect's records, when Patriarch Zhennan disappeared, he was already
He is a monk at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, and his strength is on par with that of a monk at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul. If it is just a strange beast with strength comparable to that of a monk at the later stage of the Nascent Soul, how could he have caused this old man to fall!"
Zhao Yuanpu was questioned, but he was not angry. He just waved his hands with a wry smile and explained: "Junior Brother Deng, don't be anxious. I didn't say that Patriarch Zhennan fell at the hands of that strange beast. In fact, according to my observation
, that strange beast is just a guardian beast, the real reason for the fall of Patriarch Zhennan is the thing it protects!"
"Guardian beast?"
Master Deng's expression changed, and he looked at Zhao Yuanpu with bewilderment and asked: "Senior Brother Zhao, does he know what kind of thing it is guarding?"
"It's a cave, a cave located in the lava at the center of the earth, with [Red Lotus Fire] on the outside!"
Zhao Yuanpu's eyes flashed with fire, and he said something with a look of amazement that made Deng Zhenren stunned.
I saw a surge in his throat, and after swallowing hard, he said in a solemn voice: "It's not surprising that monks in the Nascent Soul stage can enter and exit the lava in the center of the earth, but it is necessary to build a cave in the lava in the center of the earth, and continue for several
It has not been destroyed for thousands of years, and it can still produce a large piece of [Red Lotus Earth Fire] to protect the cave. That cave must be left behind by a certain true immortal in the tribulation period!"
"I also guessed this. Otherwise, given Patriarch Zhennan's cultivation at that time, how could he have fallen into that cave? If it wasn't a cave left by a true immortal who had transcended the tribulation period, how could it have attracted him to secretly go there?"
Zhao Yuanpu nodded and agreed with Master Deng's guess.
When Master Deng heard what he said, he did not show the satisfaction of being recognized. Instead, he frowned and looked at him and asked: "Then what are you going to do, Senior Brother Zhao? You have never said anything about this before, why now?"
And you specifically left my junior brother here to talk to me about this matter?"
Zhao Yuanpu replied calmly: "I didn't tell you this before because I was not sure about defeating the guardian beast, let alone bringing back the remains and relics of Zhennan Patriarch. Naturally, the less
The better people know about this!”
"But now I seem to see some hope, so I want to let you know about this, just in case!"
Just in case, Zhao Yuanpu doesn't need to say much, Deng Zhenren also understands.
He asked softly and thoughtfully: "Is it that Zhou Yang? Senior Brother Zhao wants to invite him to help?"
"Yes, it's him, and he's not the only one. I'm also planning to invite [Fire Dragon Master], a mid-stage Nascent Soul casual cultivator, to go with us. Let's see if we can kill the guardian beast with our combined efforts.
Break the formation restrictions in that cave!"
Zhao Yuanpu nodded slightly and spoke his plan in a deep voice.
"Why these two people? Senior Brother Zhao, can you tell me the reason?" Master Deng asked with curiosity on his face.
"The reason is very simple. That cave is located deep in the lava at the center of the earth. Even if we are Yuanying monks who practice fire-attribute techniques, not everyone can stay there for a long time, let alone stay there with a Yuanying. Later, the alien beasts fought!"
"And the [Red Lotus Earth Fire] outside the cave is not easy to deal with. It is probably integrated with the cave formation. When breaking the formation, I am afraid that I will always face the threat of this kind of strange fire. Generally, in the Nascent Soul stage The monks don't have that much mana to deal with this."
"But whether it's the [Qianyang True Fire] mastered by Zhou Yang or the ancient treasure [Fire Dragon Cover] in the hands of [Master Fire Dragon], it can allow them to exert their maximum strength in that environment without being held back."
"Of course, the most important thing is that the two of them are not as good as me in cultivation, but their strength is better than that of ordinary monks of the same level. They can help me break the cave restrictions without posing too much threat to me!"
Zhao Yuanpu's eyes flashed, and he slowly told the reason in a low tone.
Master Deng did not doubt his confidence in saying this.
Although Zhao Yuanpu had his arm cut off in a head-on fight with Zhou Yang before, Master Deng knew that it was because Zhao Yuanpu did not expect Zhou Yang to possess such weird magical powers.
Now that Zhao Yuanpu knew this, the chance that Zhou Yang would use the same trick to hurt him again was very slim.
And seeing how Zhou Yang needed to retreat to heal after performing that move, it was obvious that he would not dare to use this move unless absolutely necessary.
As for the other [Fire Dragon Master], although he is not considered weak, as far as Master Deng knows, his name mostly comes from the sixth-level medium-grade magic weapon [Fire Dragon Cover] in his hand, but that magic weapon pays more attention to Defense naturally does not pose much of a threat to Zhao Yuanpu.
"Senior Brother Zhao has a good idea, but will Zhou Yang agree to your invitation? You have just been attracted by him... Can he feel free to go on an adventure with you?"
Deng Zhenren looked at Zhao Yuanpu. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask this question.
When Zhao Yuanpu heard this, he replied confidently: "Don't worry about this, I will naturally have a way to convince him!"
