Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Lord did not show up, hiding in the darkness. Only Lan Wuteng stood in the area outside the Dark Night Realm Gate, waiting quietly.
"The Sword Realm must not be at the Dark Night Realm Gate", this was the judgment made by the Dragon Lord before.
Lan Mutou was just a pair of eyes for that mysterious man who wanted to understand the outside world. How could he possibly tell him the location of the Sword World?
The Dark Night Realm Gate is more like a trap. After Lan Wuteng is exposed, he can trap and kill the monks who come to look for the Sword Realm. It is extremely dangerous inside, and the dragon master must treat it with caution.
Time passed little by little and it came to the fourth day.
The worry on Lan Wuteng's eyebrows became more and more intense. Over the years, every time he came to see the mysterious man and report to him about the situation in the Paradise of the Lost, the waiting time never exceeded three days.
Why did something go wrong this time?
Zhang Ruochen said: "Did the other party notice something abnormal? No, even if you want to notice it, you have to get here first. If you have already been here, how can you hide it from Uncle Long's perception?"
"Here we come!" Dragon Lord said.
In the dark void, a bright sword light flew past, flying towards Lan Wuteng at a very fast speed.
The sword light flew from an unknown distance, but it locked Lan Wuteng, making him unable to move. A thick divine voice came together with the sword light: "Betrayer, die!"
"You go and save him."
The Dragon Lord left these words behind and turned into a divine dragon and flew away through the air, reaching thousands of miles away in an instant at an incredible speed.
The so-called spirit steps, in the face of such speed, are like ants walking.
Zhang Ruochen knocked out the sundial, mobilizing the time mark light spots between heaven and earth, forming a thousand-mile long river of time, which collided with the light of the flying sword.
Unable to stop...
The sword light knocked the sundial away, penetrated Lan Wu Teng's shadow, and crashed into the Dark Night Realm Gate, making a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Lan Wuteng with one hand and led him hundreds of miles away.
Lan Wuteng was still in shock. He looked at Zhang Ruochen with grateful eyes, raised his hands in salute, and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
Across the distance in the void, a high-ranking god can be locked with a single sword so that he cannot move. Does the great god of the Taixu Realm have such strength?
I'm afraid not.
The shock in Zhang Ruochen's heart was a bit stronger than that of Lan Wuteng, but with the Dragon Lord here, no matter how high the opponent's cultivation level was, there was no need to worry too much, as he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Putting Lan Wu Teng back into the sundial, Zhang Ruochen chased towards the direction where the Dragon Lord left. Along the way, there were wisps of dragon mist guiding him.
…
"Yuqing, my old friend is here, why did he leave with one blow?"
The Shenlong's body shrank and turned into the free and handsome figure of the Dragon Lord. He stood still in the void and turned to look behind him.
In the void, there is nothing.
The space turns into a water curtain, with fine ripples appearing.
An old man with white hair in Taoist robes walked out of the water curtain, with a jade sword hanging above his head. His whole body was bathed in divine light, exuding an ancient and sacred aura.
It's like an immortal walking out of a mural, or an ancient swordsman walking out of an ancient book.
"Jiwang, how could it be you?"
The eyes of the white-haired old man were full of disbelief.
The Dragon Lord smiled and said, "Why are you so old? You were so heroic when you were drunk, dancing with swords, chatting and laughing."
When old friends met, Yuqing was in a happy mood, with fewer wrinkles on her face, and said: "The time you mentioned, how many years ago was it? The past is too much to remember."
"It seems that the Dark Triangle Star Region is really a place without years and months, making your mentality become so old."
The Dragon Lord stopped chatting and said, "Have you really found the Sword Realm?"
The smile on Yuqing's face disappeared, her eyes were introverted, and she said: "Are you here for the sword world?"
"Not only me, the island owner is also here!" Dragon Lord said.
Although Yu Qing's expression remained calm, the jade sword above his head became a bit brighter, showing that his heart was not as calm as his face.
Dragon Lord asked: "Is Taiqing okay?"
Yuqing said nothing, only nodded slightly.
The Dragon Lord saw that there was already a deep gap between this old friend and himself. This gap was not just accumulated over two hundred thousand years. The death of Shangqing was the main reason.
Dragon Lord said: "It seems that you already know about Shangqing."
"In recent years, we have rarely left the Dark Triangle Star Territory, but we have still gone out a few times. We are not completely isolated from the world."
Yuqing's expression became completely cold, and he added: "Those mundane things outside, fighting for power and profit, are really meaningless. Fighting and killing, greed and insidiousness, and insatiable desires are simply a waste of limited life."
"I don't know if you and the island master are here to seize the Sword Realm, kill me and Taiqing, or want us to return to the Kunlun Realm. In short, I really don't want to get involved in outside matters anymore.
"
Added: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you."
Dragon Lord Ning looked at him and said, "Don't you want to know why Bi Luozi wanted to kill Shangqing back then?"
"Yes, of course I do. Kunlun Realm needs to give us an explanation!"
Yuqing's beard was flying, and his eyes were as sharp as swords.
Zhang Ruochen rushed over and stopped in the distance.
Two Ancient Gods from the Infinite Realm are having a conversation. He is a junior, so it’s better not to get too close!
The Dragon Lord said: "I don't know how Shangqing broke through to the Infinite Realm, but after he returned to the Kunlun Realm two hundred thousand years ago, his temperament changed drastically, as if he had become a demon. Not only did he swallow the three gods of the Liangyi Sect in succession,
He also took away the "Wordless Sword Manual" and broke into the Netherworld Dungeon inside the Sword Tomb, intending to open the eighteenth level of hell."
"The Great Master told me back then that the 18th floor of the Netherworld Dungeon should not be opened, otherwise the universe would be in chaos, and it is impossible for the Supreme Being not to know about it. What does he want?"
In the past, Pluto was only imprisoned on the fifteenth floor of the Netherworld Dungeon.
No one knows what vicious creatures are imprisoned on the last three floors.
Yuqing's face changed sharply and said: "Impossible, how is this possible? There is no way Shangqing would do such a thing."
"Based on your understanding of me, do I really need to lie about this matter?" Dragon Lord said.
"How could this be? Could it be..."
Yuqing seemed to have thought of something, and looked in the direction of the night gate, her emotions fluctuating greatly.
The Dragon Lord said: "Bi Luozi is your master. He took action to kill Shangqing to clean up the family. However, in that battle a hundred thousand years ago, he had already fallen into the endless abyss."
"Yu Qing, back then you were not just escaping like you are now. You ventured into the Dark Triangle Star Territory, searched for the Sword Realm, and attacked the Infinite Realm, not just to protect the Kunlun Realm and protect all living beings in the world."
"Just because of a misunderstanding, you want to change your original intention? Or are you afraid?"
"Have you seen that a hundred thousand years ago, the gods of the Kunlun Realm fell and were killed by the Hell Realm until the mountains and rivers were stained with blood, and there was no place to bury their heroic bones. So they were so frightened that they could only hide in the dark triangle star field and live in panic?"
Yuqing glared angrily and said, "Jiwang, do you think Pindao is a timid rat? Do you think we didn't shed tears when we learned about the death of the holy monk and Wentianjun?"
"But, the reason why the Kunlun Realm was defeated, the reason why Wentian Jun fell, and the reason why the holy monk died tragically, is it really just that the Hell Realm is powerful?"
"As far as we know, there is a problem within Heavenly Court, and they were killed by their own people. If this is not depressing enough, then how did the Holy Clan perish? If I were the Lord of Heavenly Court, I would fight to the death.
In the end, I will never sacrifice the Holy Clan."
"In such a war, no matter how many lives are spent to fill it, you will still be defeated. No matter how powerful your cultivation is, you will die in the battle between gods and become an innocent soul."
The Dragon Lord was speechless for a long time and said: "It's all because of the calamity."
Yuqing was slightly moved, but soon felt relieved and said: "Come on, the calamity will eventually come. Three hundred thousand years ago, the heavens went on a war and couldn't stop it, so what can we do?"
"It's not that there was no stopping. It was postponed for at least two hundred thousand years. One hundred thousand years ago, another mysterious powerful man took action to repel the calamity and bought us more time."
The Dragon Lord said again: "So many people are still fighting hard and unwilling to succumb to calamity. Why did you, Yuqing, accept your fate?"
Yuqing's face was heavy.
The Dragon Lord said: "Some people are unwilling to succumb to Liang Jie, but some people choose to surrender and set up a mysterious world-destroying organization. With Liang Jie as their belief, they regard Liang Jie as the only invincible god. For Liang Jie, they will destroy the world.
He did many terrible things. At that time, if I asked Tianjun and the holy monks about their deaths, they were probably involved."
Yuqing was jealous of evil and asked: "What organization? Who established it?"
“Measure the organization!”
The Dragon Lord said: "So far, the organization is still very mysterious. They are hidden among the major forces in heaven and hell. They specialize in provoking conflicts, hatred, and wars, and causing the living forces of the entire universe to fall into internal friction."
"No one knows where the enemy is. They are very cunning and hide very deep. They are often suspected to be gods who measure members of the organization. When they capture them, they find that they have captured the wrong person, which leads to new conflicts and hatred."
"In fact, the vast majority of powerful people do not believe in the existence of quantitative organizations at all. Who would believe that there is such a group of people who want the world to be destroyed?"
Yu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "So what if the war between heaven and hell was started by the Quantity Organization? Once conflicts and hatred in the world appear, they will become deeper and deeper until one party is completely killed."
"Perhaps the measurement organization really does not exist, but was deliberately fabricated by some people who did not want to take responsibility and shifted the responsibility to the measurement organization."
"Jiwang, since you and the island owner are still here, you can hold on to the Kunlun Realm. If the Kunlun Realm is no longer safe, you can retreat to the Sword Realm. Here, you can at least survive until the calamity comes."
The Dragon Lord felt disappointed and said: "You really don't want to do your part to prevent the calamity?"
"I want to! But I really can't see through people's hearts. I'm afraid that everything I do has been planned by others. As you said, I obviously thought that I was measuring members of the organization and capturing them, so that they were exploited.
It was used as a knife!"
Yuqing added: "I don't want to die one day like Wentianjun and Saint Monk because of my own people's calculations."
The Dragon Lord was helpless and knew that he could not persuade him. He looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, "What do you think of him?"
Yu Qing had noticed Zhang Ruochen a long time ago and thought he was a disciple of the Dragon Lord. It was not until this moment that he took a closer look. His eyes shone brightly and he said: "It's really weird. How can there be such a weird boy in the world? Who is he?"
"He is the successor chosen by the Holy Monk to stop the calamity. Unfortunately, he is still too weak at the moment, but he has been noticed by the Holy Monk's former enemies. He may not grow up one day. Are you interested in helping the Holy Monk?"
Dragon Lord said.
Being stared at by two ancient gods who had always existed and were legendary, Zhang Ruochen felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Long, why do you have to force others to do something difficult? In fact, this junior also wants to hide in the sword world and live a stable and happy life in a few years.
In these days, what does it have to do with me to care about the rights and wrongs of the outside world, whether to measure calamities or organizations? I have no responsibility in my heart and am relaxed all over."
