Xiao Feng stood in the courtyard holding a black sword, with a demon corpse lying at his feet.
A large yellow-skinned animal was already disemboweled and dead.
The Qiao family members surrounding them all looked pale at this moment, and a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes fell to the ground, pointing at the demon corpse and trembling.
"This this......"
The new daughter-in-law turned out to be made of yellow leather. Thinking of the turbulent scene between him and this monster in the past few nights... the man suddenly felt nauseated and his face looked extremely ugly.
"master!"
Several servants shouted and came forward to help him up from the ground, while someone hurriedly handed over a calming and refreshing elixir.
After holding the elixir in his mouth for a long time, the head of the Qiao family slowly regained his composure, pushed his servant aside, and bowed deeply to Xiao Feng.
"This young master, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
"You help us slay this monster today. If it is useful to my Qiao family in the future, just ask. Regardless of whether you can do it or not, I, Qiao Rongkun, will never frown!"
"Master Qiao doesn't have to be like this."
Xiao Feng sheathed his sword and waved his hand gently as if he had just done an insignificant thing.
"I didn't do this to get any benefits from the Qiao family. Even if this monster is hiding in ordinary people's homes, I will definitely kill it."
"Young Master is so magnanimous, Qiao is ashamed of himself!"
Qiao Rongkun was extremely impressed, and the beautiful Qiao family members next to him also looked at Xiao Feng with affection, and their legs couldn't help but clench and twist a few times.
"By the way, I still don't know the name of the young master? Where is he at home?"
Qiao Rongkun didn't notice the reactions of others, but when he saw Xiao Feng seemed to be leaving, he hurriedly asked after him.
"Is this..."
Xiao Feng shook his sleeves coolly and casually gave out a pseudonym without even turning his head.
"Xuan Tianhui, Xiao Yan."
...
...
"What the hell? Xiao Yan??"
Early on the next morning, Wei Changtian looked at Wang Daochang opposite him. He couldn't control his expression and his mouth opened wide.
"Yes, young master, according to the spies, a man named Xiao Yan did come to the Xuantian Club. He is very similar in height to the Xiao Feng you mentioned."
Wang Daochang didn't see his expression, and was still lowering his head to report the situation: "This Xiao Yan just showed his face yesterday and left again. I'm still checking where he is staying now."
"Well, I understand."
Wei Changtian closed his mouth and said to himself that the protagonist's pseudonym was so casual that he didn't even bother to change his last name.
Xiao Yan...should the next sentence be "the third stage of fighting power"?
It's true that fighting spirit has turned into a horse, it's so terrifying.
"Keep an eye on this Xiao...Xiao Yan, but don't act rashly. Remember to tell me in time if there are any emergencies. If nothing happens, come and talk to me every three days."
"I understand, sir."
Wang Daochang accepted the order in a deep voice and soon left.
This time he actually parked the carriage outside the alley and came on foot.
Not long after he left, Wei Changtian also took Zhang San into the carriage, loaded with several boxes of gifts, and headed straight to Jiuding Mountain in the north of the city.
...
Tianluo Sect, whose main altar is located in Jiuding Mountain in Shuzhou, is called "the best demonic sect in the world" by famous sects.
This "number one in the world" does not refer to scale, but to strength.
There are not many core members in the entire Tianluo Sect. Counting the inner and outer disciples, there are only over a thousand people in total. However, they all have unique talents and considerable strength.
The leader Qin Zhengqiu has even reached the second-level cultivation level, which is one of the few in Daning.
The reason why the people of Tianluo Sect have such strength is mainly because there is a supreme internal power and mental method in the sect - Tianluo Gong.
Compared with other internal skills, Tianluo Gong can not only greatly increase the practitioner's cultivation speed, but the internal energy it transforms is extremely powerful, and it is also very advantageous when fighting with others.
If we follow the routine of general martial arts novels, such magical skills will definitely have some side effects.
Either "you must first commit suicide", or you are "easily possessed by evil spirits", or you are "drinking human blood and eating human flesh" and so on.
But the fact is that Tianluo Gong is actually the same as other exercises and has no side effects.
As a result, other sects are naturally ready to take action and covet this Tianluo Gong.
But how could Tianluo Sect be willing to "share magical power"? In the end, the two sides fought.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been dozens of recorded "sieges on Jiuding Mountain" in the world, and all of them ended in the failure of the "decent faction".
Of course, the Tianluo Sect was not without its losses. Many people died each time, which eventually led to the number of disciples never increasing, and it also earned the name of the "Devil Sect".
It can be said that there is a sense of guilt in carrying a jade.
However, the clay figurine still has a certain amount of anger, let alone masters like Tianluo Sect.
Don't you call me "Demon Cult"?
Well, then I'll just call myself a demon sect!
Over the next hundred years, the Tianluo Sect, which was completely angered, began to give up on itself. It was not only satisfied with "defensive counterattack", but also took the initiative to clean up those sects and sects that had had problems with itself, and did not leave any chickens or dogs behind.
The annihilation of the sect.
The bloody storm in the world continued for decades, and it was not until Ning Yongnian ascended the throne that it eased.
It is said that Ning Yongnian reached some kind of agreement with Tianluo Sect, but the specific content is unknown.
"...Sir, that's about it."
When the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Jiuding Mountain, Zhang San also gave an overview of the situation of Tianluo Sect.
Wei Changtian raised his head and looked at the towering mountains in front of him, thinking that it would be great if such forces could be used for his own benefit.
But unfortunately, this is highly unlikely.
Although Qin Caizhen is said to be a saint of Tianluo Sect, her status in the sect is actually average.
Because besides her daughter, Qin Zhengqiu also has four sons.
In other words, Wei Changtian still has four uncles...
Compared to his married daughter and his "grandson" who he had never met a few times, these four were the people Qin Zhengqiu really valued, and they were the "future" of Tianluo Sect.
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian, accompanied by the Tianluo Sect disciples who came to greet him, stepped into the mountain gate and started walking along the stone steps to the top of the mountain step by step.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
"Brother, how many steps do you think our nephew can climb on the Tongtian Road?"
In a pavilion halfway up Jiuding Mountain, two middle-aged men were standing side by side, looking at the winding mountain road in the distance.
Ordinary people should not be able to see anything at this distance, but once practitioners enter the fifth level, they can gain "clear ears and eyesight", so they can see clearly the people who are climbing the mountain.
"I heard from my little sister that he has access to all 64 meridians."
The person in question was wearing a black robe and replied nonchalantly: "It should be able to reach the hundredth level."
"I couldn't guess."
Another man in purple robe smiled and said: "Although this boy's talent is quite good, there are not many people in our sect who have full access to the sixty-four meridians, and less than half can reach the hundredth level."
"It doesn't matter."
The man in black robe said calmly: "Whether he can or can't, he is a member of the Wei family."
"Brother, what you said is a bit too heartless."
The purple-robed man shook his head helplessly: "Although his surname is Wei, he is also my younger sister's son, and he has half of my Qin family's blood in his body."
"..."
The man in black robe did not answer any more, his eyes still looked towards the mountain road.
At this time, the few ant-sized black figures in his field of vision also temporarily stopped in front of a stone staircase with an obviously different painting style, seeming to be communicating with each other.
...
"Road to Heaven?"
On the mountain road, Wei Changtian looked at the two to three hundred pure black stone steps in front of him with a puzzled expression: "What is this?"
"Mr. Wei, this is another treasure of our teaching besides Tianluo Gong."
The Tianluo Sect disciple wearing a blue short shirt bowed and introduced: "It is used to test the talent of practitioners."
"Can this thing test talent?"
Wei Changtian suddenly remembered the well-used plots in countless fantasy novels, and asked curiously: "The farther you go, the higher your talent, right?"
"Young Master is extremely intelligent."
The disciple in green shirt confirmed this idea with a compliment.
It really is......
Wei Changtian was speechless for a while. After being silent for a while, he asked again: "I have all sixty-four meridians and am already a top-notch talent. Do I still need to take this path?"
"Sir, talent is not the same as talent."
The disciple in green shirt lowered his head and said: "You will know once you walk this way... This matter was told by the leader. Please don't let the villain make things difficult for you."
Talent is not the same as talent?
Good guy, why don't you give me a Chinese lesson on synonym analysis?
Wei Changtian complained in his heart, but since they had already moved Qin Zhengqiu out, he couldn't refuse anymore.
"Okay, then I'll take a walk."
"Thank you, Master, for your understanding."
The disciple in blue breathed a sigh of relief, and finally explained: "Sir, only one person can walk on the Tongtian Road. I will wait for you at the front, and I will pick you up when you are exhausted and stop."
"okay."
Wei Changtian nodded, while several disciples carried several large boxes of gifts and walked up from the side path with Zhang San.
Looking at the few people standing at the end of the black stone steps, Wei Changtian began to recall the plots of the Internet articles he had read in his previous life.
Why does it feel like there is a heavy burden on you every step you take? Why does the protagonist grit his teeth and climb up even though he can no longer hold on, showing his perseverance? How about he takes this opportunity to break through the bottleneck of cultivation.
.....
By the way, why can these stone steps test people’s talents?
There must be other wonderful uses, and I wonder if there is a chance to get a few dollars back...
Just like the Immortal Locking Stone, according to Liang Zhen, the first set of inner armor will be made soon...
Wei Changtian was thinking wildly as he walked up, and soon walked dozens of steps.
It was only then that he realized something was wrong.
Um?
Why don't you feel anything unusual?
Could it be that I walked too short? After all, there are three hundred steps on this road.
Wei Changtian thought about it for a while, then stepped up almost a hundred steps one after another, and then slowly slowed down.
It wasn't because he felt any pressure, but because he finally realized one thing——
It seems that this road to heaven has no effect on me at all!
We were already halfway there, and apart from being a little dizzy from the pure black stone steps, I didn't feel any discomfort at all!
Is it because I came from time travel? Or is it because there is a system?
But no matter what the reason is, I am now facing a problem...
Damn, do you want to keep walking?
Wei Changtian originally wanted to try his best to test his limits.
But looking at it now, as long as you are willing, there is a high probability that you can go all the way to the top... without even taking a breath.
So the question is, how much should you walk to be consistent with your "normal" level and not be noticed by others?
I walked too much all at once, and I undoubtedly couldn’t explain where I got this talent.
And if you leave too little, you will easily be despised by Qin Zhengqiu...
Damn, if I had known, I would have asked others how many steps they can walk!
Wei Changtian walked slower and slower, and at the same time he raised his head and kept looking at the people waiting in front.
It was impossible for him to really ask, "What level do I have at this point?", so he could only try to make a rough judgment based on the reactions of those Tianluo Sect disciples.
It’s just...I can’t see clearly!
There are still hundreds of stone steps separating the two sides, almost 200 meters away.
Wei Changtian could only see those people still standing there, but could not see their expressions clearly.
Calm down! Analyze it!
The disciple said before - as long as he can't hold on any longer, he will have a way to pick him up.
But now I am obviously walking very slowly, but the man is still motionless. Does this mean that this distance is still within the "normal" range?
Otherwise, he should have been ready to leave to pick him up at any time.
That’s right!
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more it made sense, so he didn't stop. Instead, he speeded up a little and climbed dozens of steps in a row.
There are a total of 300 steps on the Road to Heaven, and he has now walked two-thirds of it, which is more than 200 steps.
And as the destination got closer and closer, the expressions of the people above finally began to become clearer.
Except for Zhang Sanyi who looked confused, everyone else...
His face was red, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, but his body remained motionless.
But now Wei Changtian finally understood why they didn't move.
Feelings are not because you are too close, but because you are too far away!
"Kick!"
My feet stopped for a moment, and my heart broke!
Judging from the reactions of these disciples, he must have accomplished some great "feat", and the distance he walked may have been far beyond the normal level.
Although this move is undoubtedly very pretentious...but I really don't want to be so pretentious!
Last time I accidentally slashed two inches into the Immortal Locking Stone with a knife, but I could still use the "Gui Chen Knife" to fool me.
But what reason can be found this time?
Wei Changtian wailed in his heart, and at the same time he hesitated whether he should appear exhausted and unsustainable.
But before he could make any move, he saw the surrounding leaves suddenly trembling rapidly, and immediately two middle-aged men appeared out of nowhere and stood at the end of Tongtian Road with astonished expressions on their faces.
"Two hundred and eighteen steps, two hundred and eighteen..."
The one in black robe was shaking all over and kept repeating the number in his mouth.
The one in purple robe was slightly better. Although he was equally surprised, he at least noticed Wei Changtian's situation at this time.
He looked at Wei Changtian in disbelief and suddenly shouted:
"Can you still leave?!"
"this......"
After hearing this, Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Now that we’ve come to this point, let’s just stop pretending to be a pig and eat the tiger!
Just pretend to be a tiger!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and took another step directly in front of everyone's extremely shocked eyes, and continued walking upward step by step, neither fast nor slow.
Level 220, Level 250, Level 280, Level 299...
Three hundred levels...
After crossing the last stone step, he stopped and stood in front of the dumbfounded man in purple robe, whose mouth was open and unable to speak a word. Wei Changtian spoke out five words calmly.
