After walking out of the forest, Zhang Ruochen released his mental power, conducted some investigation, and found the traces of the battle left by the drunkard and Ye Xiaoxiang.
"The drunken maniac and Gu Songzi did not escape from Xianji Mountain, but instead went to the depths of Xianji Mountain."
Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised and found it difficult to understand.
Subsequently, after repeated confirmations, he finally came to the same conclusion.
Whether it was the black figure who claimed to be a "dead tribe" or a bone finger that rushed out from the bottom of the Taoist temple, they all went to the depths of Xianji Mountain. It can be seen that there must be huge dangers there.
What are you going there for?
"It seems that Shi Qianjue's holy combination has caused huge trouble to Jiu Kuangzi and Gu Songzi, forcing them to flee to the depths of Xianji Mountain and borrow external forces to fight against Ye Xiaoxiang." Zhang Ruochen thought in his mind.
guess.
"No one knows how terrifying the power of those dead people is. This road may be a narrow escape for them."
Qing Mo pursed his lips, as if he had thought of something, and sighed softly: "Sir, the drunk maniac told me what happened back then."
"Really? Come and listen." Zhang Ruochen said.
Qing Mo said: "Six hundred years ago, the drunkard madman received the summons from Gu Songzi and immediately rushed back to the Demon Cult Headquarters, preparing to dissuade Shi Qianjue and save Gu Songzi's family. However, he was very unlucky.
On the way, he was intercepted by the Queen. In order to rush back alive, he could only kneel down and beg the Queen, and also swore an oath to never kill, never do evil, and quit the Demon Cult. However, he was still a step too late to go back.
We couldn't save anyone."
"It seems that the drunkard has endured the humiliation and is not as cowardly as Gu Songzi said." Zhang Ruochen said.
How many grievances and grievances make people sigh.
Fate is bad, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Qing Mo frowned and said, "But I just don't understand why he didn't tell Gu Songzi the truth?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "For a saint, asking him to kneel down is more difficult than asking him to die. What's more, the person kneeling is his master-killing enemy. If he tells the truth, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
The person is the ancient pine nut."
"In other words, the alcoholic madman paid a price greater than his life?" Qing Mo asked, seemingly understanding.
"That's right." Zhang Ruochen said.
With Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo's current level of cultivation, they would not be able to intervene in a battle at the Saint King level. The depths of Xianji Mountain were not something they could enter.
At present, the most important thing to do is to find a safe hiding place to cultivate the three meridians to their best condition.
Xianji Mountain is indeed dangerous, but it is also an excellent hiding place.
Zhang Ruochen raised his head and saw a majestic spiritual mountain, shaped like a stone elephant, which was the same mountain they first climbed into Xianji Mountain.
On the top of Lingshan Mountain, there is a large ancient building with a sacred brilliance emanating from it, making people wonder if it is the residence of gods?
"Let's go, that's where it is." Zhang Ruochen took Qing Mo and climbed the mountain again.
The golden bat giant python shrank its body and became only three feet long. It flapped its bat wings and flew above Qing Mo's head.
When they approached the top of the mountain, they saw the broken Taoist temple. The ruins of the Taoist temple were divided into two, and in the middle, there was a crack in the ground that extended to the ground.
At the beginning, that bone finger rushed out from under the crack in the ground.
"The Bone Finger was once sealed here and suppressed by a Taoist temple. What is the amazing origin of the Bone Finger? And who sealed it here? Are there other bone fragments in Xianji Mountain?"
Zhang Ruochen's heart was full of doubts, and he asked Qing Mo to wait for him on the ground. Then, he jumped down from the crack in the ground alone to look for clues.
Underground in the Taoist temple is a twelve-foot-tall black stone altar, engraved with ancient inscriptions.
However, the black altar was broken, and Zhang Ruochen found no useful clues on the words, so he had to return to the ground.
"How about it?"
Qing Mo's bright eyes widened, extremely curious, and he was obviously very interested in the origin of the amputated finger.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head gently and said, "Let's go!"
The ancient buildings on the top of the mountain are still majestic and awe-inspiring even though they have experienced hundreds of thousands of years of wind and rain.
You know, even the amputated finger didn't dare to break in, which shows that this place must be quite extraordinary.
Outside the blue palace, Zhang Ruochen arranged a space maze to prevent masters from the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect, the Undead Vampire Clan, and the Dead Clan from breaking in.
Walking into the cyan palace, Qing Mo rolled his eyes and said: "Sir, your cultivation has been restored and you can tear apart space. You should be able to break through the formations deep in the palace. Should we go in to investigate?
Fan, I say not sure, there will be great gains."
"Walk."
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said. Walking on the stone path full of weeds, passing through ancient palaces, and arriving at the foot of a silver maple tree, Zhang Ruochen stopped.
His palm pressed forward lightly.
"Wow——"
A translucent barrier like a water curtain appeared, blocking his palm. White electric lines flowed on the water curtain barrier, converging on Zhang Ruochen's palm, forming a counterattack force.
Zhang Ruochen had already been prepared. In an instant, he retracted his palm and flew backwards, landing three feet away.
The formation here is quite powerful and cannot be broken using brute force.
"Try using the space crack."
Zhang Ruochen circulates the holy energy, and at the same time, releases the holy aspect of space, mobilizes the rules of space with all his strength, and condenses the index finger on his right hand.
Just when Zhang Ruochen was about to tear apart the space, he suddenly noticed a strange fluctuation of holy energy above his head.
"There is an extremely holy master standing on the top of the temple."
Zhang Ruochen glanced diagonally upward from the corner of his eyes, immediately changed the trajectory of his fingers, swung upwards, and struck at the location where the fluctuation of holy energy was coming from.
At this moment, a crimson figure swooped down from the top of the palace at a strange and unpredictable speed, changing its position seven times in a row, avoiding the cracks in the space, leaving seven figures in the air.
Qing Mo noticed the heat wave and energy coming from above, and with the fastest reaction speed, he reached out to pick up the silver kitchen knife.
However, the opponent was faster. He grabbed Qing Mo's wrist first and used his other hand to grab Zhu Qingyi, who was being held by Qing Mo.
Just as the red figure was about to succeed, Zhang Ruochen suddenly turned into an afterimage, appeared behind her, and hit her on the back of the neck with a sword.
The crimson figure had no choice but to shake the green ink away with a palm. Then, two slender index fingers and middle fingers stretched out and formed into finger swords, colliding with the finger sword played by Zhang Ruochen.
"Bang bang."
They are all pointing swords, a duel of thirteen moves in a row.
The two finger swords collided violently, and countless sword energy flew out, leaving holes one after another on the palace walls on both sides of the stone path.
Then, the two quickly separated.
By the time Zhang Ruochen stabilized his steps, the red figure had retreated to the end of the stone path and stood more than twenty feet away.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, taking less than a breath in total. However, Zhu Qingyi had already been taken away.
Immediately afterwards, six white-feathered female saints rushed out of the nearby palace and stood behind the red figure.
Zhang Ruochen finally saw the face of the red figure clearly, but he didn't get angry and said calmly: "Is this how Martial Saint Canglan returns favor?"
Martial Saint Canglan hugged Zhu Qingyi, with a proud look in his eyes, and smiled sweetly: "I was hiding in the blue palace, but you didn't notice me. In other words, I can take action against you at any time.
Assassination, but I didn't do it. Isn't this considered returning a favor?"
Reasoning with a woman is obviously not something a smart person should do.
Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to argue with Canglan Martial Saint. He could only blame himself for being careless and should have been more careful.
There is a mysterious force in the blue palace that can suppress the monk's mental power and perception. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would definitely have discovered Canglan Martial Saint in advance.
"Have you already entered this blue palace?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Martial Saint Canglan was in a very good mood and said: "Do you think you are the only one who realizes that this place is extraordinary? If this temple can block the evil shadow of the osteotomized finger from entering, it must be able to restrain the osteotomized finger and death.
The family’s treasure.”
"But you can't break through the formation here and are blocked outside." Zhang Ruochen said.
"That's right."
Martial Saint Canglan put away the smile on his face and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He was obviously frustrated.
"Maybe I can break the formation here."
Zhang Ruochen waved his hand gently, and a half-foot-long hole opened in the space not far away, saying: "If you want me to take you in, you must first return Zhu Qingyi to me and apologize to me."
"Are you crazy? You actually think that Canglan Martial Saint, the head of the Nine Heavens Mysteries, would bow his head and apologize to a court felon?"
Martial Saint Canglan raised his snow-white chin, revealing a slender and sexy neck, with no intention of compromising.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Martial Saint Canglan, who is the leader of the Nine Heavenly Mysteries, actually attacked two monks who were lower than her from behind. Once word spreads, I am afraid she will become the laughing stock of the monks all over the world, right?"
Martial Saint Canglan frowned and said solemnly: "The dead tribe comes from outside the territory, and the threat to the human race is not necessarily greater than the undead blood tribe. The treasures deep in the blue palace can restrain them, so they must
Only when it is in the hands of the imperial court can it play its greatest role. Zhang Ruochen, for the sake of justice, we should put aside our past grudges, break in together, and take it out. From now on, I will definitely report your credit to the Queen. I may not say...
…”
Hearing the word "Queen", Zhang Ruochen's eyes darkened, interrupted her, and said: "For the sake of justice, you should return the person to me first, and then apologize to me."
Canglan Martial Saint grinded her teeth hard and was very angry. Originally, she had a good impression of Zhang Ruochen. If Zhang Ruochen could cooperate with her to take out the treasure deep in the cyan palace. In the future, even at the risk of angering the Queen, she would still take this treasure away.
Report the credit to Zhang Ruochen and use it to offset the crimes Zhang Ruochen had committed.
However, Zhang Ruochen refused to cooperate at all and asked her to bow her head and apologize and admit that she had done something wrong!
Who is she? She is the head of the Nine Heavens Mysteries, the high-ranking Martial Saint Canglan, and she is not a little girl like Qing Mo. She also wants to save face, okay?
The six female saints were also a little stunned, feeling that Zhang Ruochen had eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage.
However, for some reason, they were not disgusted or hostile to Zhang Ruochen in their hearts. Instead, they secretly laughed in their hearts, feeling that Master Wu Sheng would suffer another loss this time.
At the same time, some people are also curious, who of the two of them will compromise in the end?
