The patches of blood on her skin had faded and returned to normal, all the way to the innermost side of the backcourt.
Along the way, many warriors bowed their hands to her, or said a few compliments, or praised her. There was even a seventh-level warrior who asked about Chen Yao's origins and expressed some goodwill to her.
But Chen Yao just laughed it off.
After arriving at the erected wooden board at the innermost side of the backcourt, she raised her hand, took off the wooden plaque inscribed with 'Eighth Grade: Ghost Fox', and placed it in the palm of her hand.
Looking at the wooden sign, Chen Yao showed a little nostalgic look, then she gently drew her hand inwards, slowly clenched her fingers, and kneaded the wooden sign into powder in her palm, letting the powder spread little by little between her fingers.
Scattered and disappeared into the dust on the ground.
"not coming?"
Someone next to me saw this and asked with a smile.
Chen Yao opened her palms and let all the sawdust fall down.
"Well, I won't come."
After leaving these words, she left the backcourt and disappeared from the sight of many warriors.
"Another one with perfect merit."
Someone sighed and said: "When I go this time, I will be in the seventh grade. I don't know which family or sect I am from."
"I don't think he comes from a sect, but from a princely family in Kyoto."
Another person shook his head and said with some emotion: "However, if you can walk out of Yuanwu Lane, as long as nothing happens, her name will be heard in the future world sooner or later."
"Yes, if we have another chance to see her, we will know who she is."
…
Outside Yuanwu Lane.
Chen Yao stepped out, then turned around, took a look, and finally turned around again, clenching her fists, with a rock-solid martial arts will in her heart that had been tempered for three years.
Just as the deacon of Yuanwu Alley had judged, she would be able to break through the seventh level of martial arts in less than a month when she returned this time. After breaking through to the seventh level, she would not come to Yuanwu Alley again.
After that, she will join Yuantianwei!
Yuan Tianwei is responsible for guarding the four directions of Yuan Dynasty and killing demons!
Even though Chen Wu did not choose to join the Yuan Tianwei back then, she had already made her decision. It just so happened that Xuan Guofu's generation also needed someone to join the Yuan Tian Guard to show the emperor that Xuan Guo's will to defend the Yuan Dynasty had been since she obtained the title.
, has not changed.
"I don't know what the second brother is doing right now. Before that, I have to ask the second brother for help and adjust all the postures at the back."
Chen Yao muttered something.
Then he left Yuanwu Lane and returned in the direction of Xuanguo Mansion.
And just when her figure disappeared in the distance of the alley, a man wearing patchwork cloth and messy hair appeared quietly, glanced in the direction Chen Yao left, and then stepped to follow.
Just when the figure of the man in cloth disappeared in the distance of the alley, Chen Mu appeared quietly, glanced thoughtfully in the direction he was following, and then stepped to follow.
…
Chen Yao walked quickly through the lanes.
Every lane here is very familiar to her. As an eighth-level warrior, she doesn't need to ride in a carriage, and she can move faster than a galloping horse.
After 'graduating' from Yuanwu Lane, she was in a very happy mood. She thought that after returning to Xuanguo Mansion, she would break through to the seventh rank within a month, and then go to find Chen Mu to see if Chen Mu would be surprised.
.
She was surprised that Chen Mu suddenly became a magician.
No matter what, Chen Mu had to be surprised.
That's what I was thinking in my mind.
suddenly.
Chen Yao's pace gradually slowed down.
She was standing in a narrow alley, and directly in front of her, at the end of the alley, a figure appeared at some point. That figure seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.
The other party was wearing patchwork rags and had messy black hair. He seemed to be just an ordinary poor man, but standing there at this moment caused Chen Yao's pace to slowly slow down until he stopped.
Something's wrong!
Chen Yao stopped and her eyes became more solemn than ever.
Although there is no strong blood or hostility in the common man in front of me, when I face him directly at this moment, I instinctively feel a kind of depression, a depression that cannot be described in words!
at this time.
Chen Yao's eyes met the common man's.
Touching the deep eyes of the common man, Chen Yao felt that the world in front of her suddenly changed. The narrow streets and alleys suddenly disappeared, replaced by a dim and pitch-black sky!
Chen Yao's breath froze, and she couldn't help but take a step back. The dark sky suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding area returned to a narrow alley.
"Sixth grade Huayun... no, fifth grade Guiyuan!"
Looking at the common man, a strong sense of crisis surged into my heart.
The sudden change in the color of the world just now was not reality, but an illusion. It was the other party's martial arts will that affected her, causing her to have a temporary distortion.
Although a sixth-grade warrior has already touched this level, it is impossible for her will to be shaken and crushed so lightly, so the common man in front of her is at least a fifth-grade warrior!
"I am Chen Yao of the Xuanguo Mansion. I wonder why you are here, senior?"
Born in the Xuanguo Mansion, and now after three years of hard work, Chen Yao was able to remain calm when faced with a fifth-level warrior who suddenly appeared. She immediately announced her family status and bowed to him in salute.
The clothed man stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Chen Yao quietly, and said softly:
"The end is coming, the world is suffering, the Xuanguo Mansion has committed more serious crimes, and will be punished by heaven. However, there is a chance of survival in the cycle of heaven. If you sacrifice your body and mind, you will be able to escape the sea of suffering and live in bliss."
The first half of the words were okay, but after hearing the second half, Chen Yao's eyes suddenly changed and her face suddenly turned pale.
Escape from the sea of suffering and be reborn in bliss.
Bliss Religion!
In recent years, the world has been in chaos, and many evil cults have emerged in response to the situation. Among them, the two sects of Tiansheng and Bliss are the most powerful. They both preach that this world is a sea of suffering. If you believe in the two immortals they worship, you can escape from the sea of suffering and be reborn in bliss.
The imperial court of the Yuan Dynasty and even the eight sects in the world regarded the Tiansheng Sect and the Paradise Sect as enemies, and they had encircled and suppressed them many times. However, for some reason, these two sects had extraordinary methods of deceiving people. Even many warriors of the eight sects and high-ranking officials of the imperial court were bewitched by them.
, keep suppressing but not destroying!
"Senior, since he can reach the fifth level and is a determined person, how can he believe in evil spirits and foreign objects? Only he himself is real!"
Chen Yao spoke in a deep voice.
She was not able to resist the fifth-grade warrior, and she didn't even have a chance to escape. Any movement at this time was useless. The only thing she didn't understand was how could someone like a fifth-grade warrior be bewitched by a cult?
!
"We and other living beings are not true. Only real people can be true."
The clothed man spoke calmly and said: "When you sacrifice your body, you can see the real person, but you still need to be sincere in order to be reborn in bliss."
Chen Yao was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled and said: "What kind of real person you are? If you are really as awesome as you say, why didn't you replace the Great Yuan Imperial Court and huddle in a hole like a mouse?
Hiding from XZ?”
The man in cloth was not angry, but said slowly: "It's just that the time has not come yet, well, it's time for you to follow me on the road."
Chen Yao was silent for a moment, then suddenly drew her sword out of its sheath and stabbed the man in cloth straight at him.
This sword was resolute and decisive. Even though she knew that the person in front of her was at the fifth level and she had no chance, Chen Yao still thrust out this sword. What struck out was her unshakable will.
Silent and breathless.
Before Chen Yao's sword could reach within three feet of the clothed man, it was stopped by an invisible wall of air. He could no longer advance an inch further, and the entire sword even became bent and twisted. Finally, starting from the tip of the sword,
It collapsed and shattered inch by inch.
In the end, Chen Yao only had the hilt and a small section of the sword left in his hand.
"Let's go."
The clothed man stepped forward.
Chen Yao stood there, suddenly laughed and said: "Hey, I have no interest in mouse holes."
Say it.
She swung the half-broken sword and stabbed herself in the neck.
But the half-cut sword failed to pierce, and stopped in mid-air, being stopped by an invisible force.
Chen Yao knew that she didn't even have a chance to commit suicide in front of a fifth-grade being. This was just her last attempt. Just when she was feeling discouraged, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Although the broken sword that stabbed her neck was blocked, it felt completely different from the sword she stabbed at the common man. It was not like invisible energy that was blocking her broken sword!
Chen Yao was stunned.
When she looked forward, she saw that the man in cloth had stopped, frowned, and was looking behind her.
"You're right. What's the point of going to a mouse hole?"
A slightly chuckled voice sounded from behind Chen Yao.
