At the same time, along with the miserable laughter, gloomy mist rose from the ground, and then cold black water slowly seeped out from the ground of the huge tomb, which made people even more shocked.
What's weird is that there are endless flames burning above the black water!
Water and fire... unexpectedly!
Looking at this shocking scene from far and near, Leng Yi's cheek suddenly twitched, but in this short moment, the mist of water and fire also swallowed Leng Yi instantly!
"Hahahaha! Ancient Altar!"
"Idiot! Didn't you think of it after all? You tried so hard and even thought about sacrificing yourself to bury me and enshrine me, but you got this result! Hahahaha!"
As the mist steamed up, the pale laughter became more and more arrogant. Then, amid the heart-rending screams, the huge tomb was instantly swallowed up by the violent flames; Leng Yi, whose face was pale, could only
He watched helplessly as the monstrous water and fire rushed towards him but he was unable to do anything about it!
This time... I'm really dead!
Leng Yi let out a weak sigh in his heart, and then slowly closed his eyes...
And at this moment, an obvious change suddenly appeared in front of Leng Yi's eyes. The water and fire in front of him suddenly turned into endless darkness, and the endless darkness was filled with vast mist; gloomy.
, weird, full of antiquity and vicissitudes of life, it seems like...
Just when Leng Yi frowned, wondering if he had reached the underworld, a strange figure slowly appeared in the endless ghost mist——
Blurred face, gloomy black shirt, slender figure, windless long white hair, and a pair of eyes hidden under the long hair like endless abyss;
"Immortal! I knew it..." Looking at the evil figure, Leng Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened, with a trace of hope flashing in his eyes;
Although he has never seen who this person is, he is absolutely sure that this person must be Lao Long!
Although he was full of anger at what Lao Long did just now, but... even father and son would quarrel and slam the door, wouldn't they? How could Lao Long really refuse to save himself for a quarrel? But the test just now seemed a bit...
But no matter what, the old dragon came back after all...
"I only want to ask you one question! Do you know that you are wrong?" However, what was waiting for Leng Yi was still the cold and heartless words;
What!
Listening to those cold and decisive words, Leng Yi's cheek twitched again, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen disappeared in an instant; the disappointment and anger that had just dissipated filled his heart again at this moment;
Do you want to force me to bow my head in this way?
I am really stupid. The evil heretics are still evil heretics. A transaction is always a transaction!
"Humph! I'll tell you something too -" Leng Yi clenched his fists tightly, and even though the nails of his hands dug deeply into his palms, he still raised his head and stared at Old Long and said word by word -
—
"I'm not wrong! Let me do something against my conscience! I -"
"Can't do it!"
"If you think you can force me to bow down based on this matter, you are wrong! Even if I die, I will not bow down to an evil heretic like you!"
"Huh huh huh! Evil heretic?" Hearing Leng Yi's firm roar, Old Long's eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent flashed past, "Very good! Very good! Very good!"
As three "very good" sounds passed through Leng Yi's ears, the figure of the old dragon slowly disappeared again, but there was only a sigh full of sadness that echoed in Leng Yi's ears:
"When I was young, I was just like you. I thought I could change everything if I didn't accept my fate."
"Boy! You have to take care of the rest of the way!"
What's the meaning?!
Hearing Lao Long's last words, Leng Yi's heart suddenly tightened. He seemed to understand something in an instant and his face suddenly turned as white as paper:
"You old man! What are you going to do? Come back quickly!"
"roar--!!"
Just when Leng Yi roared and was about to rush over and grab the old dragon, an earth-shattering dragon roar suddenly resounded through the mist. Then Leng Yi saw a huge figure swimming slowly in the endless darkness.
The distance from him became farther and farther, until Leng Yi's eyes turned into endless darkness again;
"Bah..."
Leng Yi took a breath of cold air and opened his eyes with difficulty. Only then did he realize that there were broken bricks and tiles under him. He looked up. There were endless ruins around him, and the palace that should have stood in the center of the ruins
The ruins are still missing; from all the remaining ruins, it can be seen that the palace has also been reduced to countless rubbles;
Leng Yi endured the pain all over his body and climbed up with difficulty, and then a vague memory appeared in his mind;
Just when the monster wanted to kill everyone and was about to devour Leng Yi. The old dragon finally took action. Under the power of the old dragon's thunder, the monster just struggled desperately, and then was killed.
The old dragon kills;
After the old dragon killed the monster that could coexist with water and fire, he integrated its blood into Leng Yi's body, and then the old dragon fell into a deep sleep;
Fortunately, the old dragon is just sleeping. Leng Yi knows that as his cultivation continues to improve, the old dragon will wake up one day...
"Immortal old man! I'll settle the score with you when you wake up!" Leng Yi gritted his teeth and cursed, but there were ripples of pain on his dusty face. Of course he knew that he was just a dead duck.
It's just a hard talk, but only he knows what that heart-wrenching pain means...
However, now Leng Yi doesn't have much time to be sentimental. Just as he imagined, that large array does have the effect of time and space passing. When he first entered, the time inside passed faster than the time outside; and
Just when the drastic change occurred, the space in the tomb became chaotic, and the time inside was several times slower than outside. Therefore, just during the period of Leng Yi's coma, eight months had passed outside!
Eight months, only a few months left before Cheng Guiyun's promotion...
With a heart full of bitterness and urgency, Leng Yi ran out of the ruins and plunged into the Western Wilderness. He only had two months, and within these two months, he had to improve his cultivation quickly, but it was okay
.Leng Yi’s body has integrated the bloodline that the monster has cultivated for thousands of years, so it is not difficult to break through the Qi Gathering Realm in a short time;
In this way, Leng Yi found a secluded cave in the Western Wilderness, then sealed the cave entrance and began a long period of retreat;
So until two and a half months later...
Boom!
One bright morning, a loud noise suddenly sounded somewhere in the dead Western Wilderness, and then a plume of smoke suddenly exploded at the foot of a barren mountain, and then a thin figure slowly walked out of the smoke;
This person is clearly Leng Yi who has been in seclusion for two months. After two months of long refining, Leng Yi's cultivation has broken through the gap of Qi Gathering Realm and directly reached the third level of Qi Gathering Realm. Although Leng Yi is not
He knew what level Cheng Guiyun was in the Qi Gathering Realm, but he had tried his best. No matter what, he had to go and see...
As the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, Leng Yi raised a pair of shining eyes and looked into the darkness in the distance, looking across the space and towards the direction of Xichuan Fucheng;
"Cheng Guiyun, here I come!"
Boom!
With a burst of air, Leng Yi jumped up like a lone wolf and ran towards Xichuan in the dark night;
Xichuan Prefecture in March is when the spring flowers are blooming and the sun is shining. The huge Xichuan Prefecture is still bustling with people under the warm sunshine;
Xichuan Fucheng is not a city built on the plains, but a city built between the foothills. After all, the residents of this city are mainly monks, not mortals; the plains are a good place for mortals to live.
, but for monks who need spiritual energy, the mountains are the best place to practice and live;
It is precisely because of this that the huge Xichuan City contains several not too high peaks; and the Cheng family, the ruler of Xichuan, stands prominently on one of the peaks; this peak is called "Cheng Mountain";
In this mountain that is not tall but covers an extremely large area, splendid mansions stretch out like honeycombs all over the mountain. Flags are planted everywhere on the mountain, and the golden "Cheng" characters shine in the warm sunshine.
A brilliant light is reflected from below;
This is Chengjiashan. Compared with Chengjiashan, the small Baihe Town is as dilapidated as a chicken coop or a doghouse; this is of course, as the master of Xichuan, the Cheng family is no less than the emperor of Xichuan; and for monks,
, many mortal things are very easy to obtain, so it is not difficult to build such a huge home;
There are more than 20,000 people in the Cheng family alone of the Cheng family. Adding in the surnamed slaves, servants, and family members at all levels, the entire Cheng family mountain has a population of at least 80,000; it is simply a giant in Xichuan
Such a huge family must have a large number of people every day; however, compared with usual, Chengjiashan has been particularly lively in recent days...
For example, in front of the gate of Chengjiashan today, there is a lot of traffic and hustle and bustle. Many carriage flags have appeared in front of the gate of Chengjiashan one after another in a false flattery; what about the Li family in Jibian, the He family in Dongyang, and Ge in Qingshan?
Family... There are also some small sects in Xichuan, such as the Black Snake Sect, Dongsha Sect, Zhenchuan Sect, Caiyun Sect, etc... All the prominent forces in Xichuan have come today, even those who have always been hostile to the Cheng family.
Families or sect forces also sent heavyweights over;
From such a variety of people, we can see that the forces in Xichuan are very complex. Of course, on the whole, only the Cheng family and the Hua family can be regarded as the top forces; as for those sects and the like, it can be said that they are not connected at all.
It doesn't even count as a force; after all, to be called a force, it must be at least a "sect"; faction, this term is actually similar to a gang, it is completely an unpopular force;
Of course, in the remote and remote area of Xichuan, no force dares to call it "the sect". Even the "ge", a subsidiary force that is smaller than the sect and belongs to the sect, no force dares to call itself so;
From this point, we can see how weak Xichuan's overall strength is. In such a huge area and with a population of more than 200 million, there is not a single force that can be called a door or pavilion;
With so many forces gathering together in one day, there is only one thing going on, and that is that Cheng Guiyun, the leader of Xichuan, will be promoted to a high position in the near future;
For Nishikawa, no one has been promoted in Nishikawa for a long, long time;
The barren geographical environment limits the development of cultivation, and the development of cultivation limits the growth of power. The growth of power further limits the inflow and control of cultivation resources. In this way, the Xichuan cultivation world has formed an unbreakable chain.
A terrible strange circle; just like ordinary people, the poorer they get, the poorer they get, and the poorer they live, the poorer they get. Come and go, but in the end, you can't break this strange circle;
If you want to break this vicious circle, the only thing you can do is to step out of Xichuan. Therefore, for many years, many people in the cultivation world have wanted to break this vicious circle. However, for thousands of years, countless people have worked hard to become stronger.
But in the end, no one can really break this cycle;
After all, outside monks would not just watch as unscrupulous people from the "poor mountains and rivers" of Xichuan came to seize their cultivation resources and fertile soil. Therefore, under the obstacles of various environments, it was not until today that Cheng Guiyun was able to break through
This vicious cycle that has been going on for thousands of years;
Regarding Cheng Guiyun, many people only know that he is a master of the Qi Gathering Realm, but so far few people know exactly what Cheng Guiyun’s cultivation level is; after all, it has been almost a year since Cheng Guiyun’s last attack.
It has been twenty years; it has been more than ten years since the last time he showed his cultivation. In other words, Cheng Guiyun has not made a move for at least ten years;
Although it is said that in a remote place like Xichuan, Cheng Guiyun's cultivation level cannot have increased much in the past ten years, but those who are interested will find that Cheng Guiyun rarely lives in Xichuan for a long time. This especially shows that Cheng Guiyun rarely lives in Xichuan for a long time.
Yun’s training place is probably not in Xichuan;
Of course, if Cheng Guiyun practiced in Xichuan, it would be difficult for him to break through the Qi Gathering Realm and become the master of Xichuan; after all, Hua Jin did not practice in Xichuan at all;
Therefore, according to rumors, Cheng Guiyun's cultivation level has probably exceeded the third level of Qi Gathering Realm;
Like the Body Tempering Realm and the Bone Forging Realm, "three, five, seven, and nine" in each cultivation level are a dividing point; the second level of the Qi Gathering Realm and the third level of the Qi Gathering Realm do not seem to have much difference. But
In fact, as long as it exceeds the big number of three, its power will make a qualitative leap. Cheng Guiyun belongs to this category;
In this way, one can imagine how prestigious it will be;
In today's Xichuan cultivation world, except for Hua Jin who has several contests with Cheng Guiyun that are unknown to outsiders in the name of "sparring" from time to time, no one dares to challenge Cheng Guiyun; therefore, many people have already
Hostility is forcibly suppressed;
Of course, many people will think that "it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge." But more people understand better that they are just thinking about it. I don't know how many decades have passed. Cheng Guiyun has been the master of Xichuan, but they have
He has always been a monk at the bottom;
Now, Cheng Guiyun will soon step out of Xichuan and enter the capital to serve as an official. In this way, the status of the Cheng family will rise again, and it is even heard that the current king will give the Cheng family a fief; the power of the Cheng family will increase again.
Once the sun reaches its peak;
However, most of the people who came to congratulate me must be thinking that the Cheng family should leave quickly. Although Xichuan is poor, it can still be regarded as one-third of an acre. If the Cheng family leaves, a large amount of benefits will naturally be left to others.
people;
To a certain extent, Cheng Guiyun's move is a good thing;
Faced with these people with evil intentions, the Cheng family did not care. Instead, they opened a large temple on the mountain and sent a large number of servants and maids to entertain the visitors from various sects and sects;
Although everyone knows that these people have evil intentions, no matter what, at least they come with heavy gifts and don't reach out to hit the smiling person. They do their face-saving work so solemnly. As the head of a government, they have to show off as a master.
The magnanimity comes;
In this way, amidst waves of false flattery, the sun rose higher and higher, and more and more guests from all walks of life were on the mountain. The entire Chengjiashan became bustling and lively;
"Hey, don't you think the Cheng family has too few experts?"
"Yes, they said that all the experts in the Bone Forging Realm have gone to the fiefdom to pioneer the development; but it has been more than eight months and no one has come back yet;"
"Yes, I heard that the wives and daughters of some masters thought their men were dead;"
"Don't talk nonsense, haven't you noticed? Not only are there fewer experts from the Cheng family, but there are also fewer people from the Hua family, the Wang family, and the Shi family;"
In the seemingly lively crowd, there are always some disharmonious voices. These disharmonious voices have never stopped, but today for some reason it seems to be extremely lively; it seems that everyone feels something secretly;
After all, as cultivators, we all have some feeling; in short, for many people, they always feel that something is going to happen to the Cheng family...
At this moment, amidst the adulation of everyone, Cheng Guiyun was smiling and bowing with his hands. Although Cheng Guiyun looked smiling, he still could not hide the worry in the corners of his eyes;
Eight months have passed, and the four major forces have sent out a total of several thousand monks at all levels, but not one of them has returned yet;
No matter it is from the Cheng family or the Hua family, not even the barbarians or Wan Zhenghe, no one has received news of their return so far; the four major forces have also sent people to explore, but nothing was found; the ruins are still
In that case, except for the traces of sacrifice, there is still no news;
Cheng Guiyun somewhat knew that there might be some mystery in the seemingly misty water mist. The expert invited by the Hua family also said that it was very possible that the time inside and outside the mist was different, so Hua Jin also advised Cheng
Guiyun, don't worry; however, if you say you are not worried, you are lying; the Cheng family's bone-forging masters have sent almost two-thirds this time; the remaining one-third is the bottom line;
Although Cheng Guiyun has been promoted high, no matter what age or place, he always strives for comprehensive strength wherever he goes. With two-thirds of the manpower reduced in one breath, how can the Cheng family take root as soon as possible after arriving in a new place?
Cheng Guiyun wanted to go and investigate in person, but he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him motionless, especially the eyes of the court, which were watching him almost step by step; after all, it was a moment, and today he was in front of everyone.
After the imperial edict was read out in person, Cheng Guiyun had to take office. At this time, he was absolutely unable to leave; (To be continued...)
