In my mind, I was calculating the true strength of Xiao Yu, and at the same time, I was also wondering whether I would take advantage of this auction to see the top ten on the Hundred Stars List that I had never seen before.
At this time, Xiao Xiao continued: "In addition, it is really an honor to meet Daoyou Chen here. You are the only Celestial Master in the top ten of the Hundred Stars List who only has the strength to establish a sect, and you can also be ranked fourth.
, there must be a lot of excellence, if Daoyou Chen is convenient one day, let’s compare notes!”
Xiaoxiao wants to challenge me?
I suddenly understood what Xiao Xiao was thinking. The Hundred Stars list is based on the completion of each case. The more difficult the case is, the easier it is to be ranked higher. Completing more difficult cases requires higher strength.
, so the ranking on the Hundred Stars List is, to a certain extent, also a ranking of strength.
I, the Celestial Master of Li Zong, was ranked in front of Xiao Yan, the Celestial Master of Transcending Tribulation, and he must be somewhat dissatisfied.
Thinking about it this way, the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth ones on the Hundred Stars List are also Heavenly Tribulation Masters. Wouldn’t they have the same idea as Xiao Xiao?
If so, would they also say something similar to challenge me?
For a moment, I had so many thoughts in my mind.
Faced with Xiao Yan’s informal challenge, I smiled and said, “If you want to compete, just wait until next year. Next year there will be competition for the top ten supernatural heroes, and we will definitely have a chance to compete by then!
"
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."
I suddenly disliked this Xiaoxiao, I felt like he was targeting me.
At this time, Zhang Rui came out to smooth things over and said: "It's hard for us to meet each other, why not find a place to have some tea."
Nangong Fancong said directly: "I'm not free. If you want to drink tea, you can go."
Xiaoxiao also felt that he was not welcome, so he bowed his hands to us and said, "Goodbye you three, see you at the auction!"
After saying that, Xiao Yan turned around and left. Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly at us, and followed Xiao Yan away.
From beginning to end, Xiaomao never had a direct word with Bai Yusheng or Hu Jiashu.
After Xiao Jing left, Bai Yusheng said: "I am afraid that this boy's future achievements will be higher than Xiao Jing, the current leader of the North China Branch, and his talent is several times that of Xiao Jing!"
Xiao Yan’s talent is better than Xiao Jing!?
As for Xiao Jing, I have seen him. His strength is unfathomable. As for his talent, it’s hard to say. After all, I don’t know what Xiao Jing was like when he was young.
Hu Jiashu smiled and said: "It seems that I have a lot of strong opponents in this auction."
Next, we stayed in Bai Yusheng's White Lion Garden for a long time. After chatting for a while, Bai Yusheng said to us: "Okay, if nothing happens, you can go back and rest early. Just stand here."
Chatting is too much of a delay in my business."
I know that this is just Bai Yusheng's rhetoric. His small shop has no business to begin with, and it doesn't matter whether we stay here or not.
However, since Bai Yusheng had the intention to see off the guests, we did not stay here any longer.
After leaving the White Lion Garden, we walked around Penglai Fairy City again before returning to the inn to rest.
We rested in the inn for a day. We originally planned to stay at the inn until the auction started, but in the early morning of that day, we heard someone in the inn saying that someone went to the back mountain yesterday and disturbed the guardian beast of Penglai Fairy City.
, was eaten and has not returned yet, and among these people are Xiao Yan, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing.
When I heard someone say this, I quickly went up to ask about the situation.
The person at the inn said: "I just went out and heard from passers-by. They said that Xiao Yu, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing from North China went to the back mountain yesterday evening and have not returned yet, so I guess they were eaten by the guardian beast.
Lost."
I said: "It turns out it was just a guess. I thought someone saw it with their own eyes."
The person at the inn said: "Even if it is just a guess, the situation is almost like this. In recent years, many people who want to go to the back mountain to plot evil have been killed by the guardian beast. Every time people who go to the back mountain are killed,
When we found it, only the bones were left!”
At this time, Hu Jiashu also came over and asked: "What is the guardian beast of the back mountain?"
Nangong Fan's expression did not change. I always felt that she seemed to know about the guardian beast of the back mountain.
The man in the inn shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.
But he quickly said: "Although I don't know what it is, I heard that the divine beast was arranged there by the Lord of Supernatural. This Penglai Immortal City is the second largest city in the supernatural world. The strength of the divine beast guarding here is
He shouldn't be very weak, maybe he is one of the great ghost emperors around the supernatural master."
The people in this inn are also very familiar with the situation in the supernatural world. They are indeed people from Penglai Fairy City.
Nangong Fancong shook his head and said, "It's not those Ghost Emperors."
Sure enough, Nangong Fanxing knew the situation.
I asked Nangong, and she shook her head and said, "Since the supernatural master doesn't want others to know the identity of the guardian beast, if you ask me, how can I tell you?"
I continued to ask: "Then do you think Xiao Yan, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing will die in the back mountain?"
Nangong Fancong said: "How could I know if you want to go to the back mountain to have a look!?"
To be honest, I have this idea, but I am worried about causing unnecessary trouble. The back mountain is a forbidden area in Penglai Fairy City, and there will definitely be no good consequences if I break in there.
But then again, Xiao Yan, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing are the elites of the North China Bureau. It is impossible for them not to know the situation in the back mountain, so why do they go to the back mountain?
What is their purpose!?
I suddenly wanted to get involved in this matter.
Hu Jiashu said at this time: "Let's wait for the situation. Xiao Yan is the eldest son of the North China Branch, and may also be the future heir of the Xiao family. If something happens to him in Penglai Fairy City, then the North China Branch will soon
Our ancestor Xiao Jing will definitely come here in person. If there is no news of Xiao Jing coming, it can only mean one thing, Xiao Jing and others are fine!"
Hu Jiashu is right.
However, in order to find out more news, we did not stay at the inn, but went around the streets of Penglai Fairy City to find out some news.
After going around this circle, we found that almost everywhere where gossip was being discussed, there was talk about the disappearance of Xiao Yan, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing in the back mountain. It is said that Penglai County has sent a city guard to look for it, but
No news yet.
After walking around, we went to Bai Yusheng's shop. He is an old man from Penglai Fairy City and may know some inside information.
But when we got here, only Xiao Huangxian was looking after the store, his children were still in seclusion, and senior Bai Yusheng was nowhere to be found.
I asked Xiao Huangxian where Bai Yusheng had gone.
Xiao Huangxian looked towards the back mountain. It was obvious that Bai Yusheng also went to the back mountain.
I was curious and asked Xiao Huangxian what Bai Yusheng was doing in the back mountain.
The little yellow fairy shook its head at me, indicating that it didn't know either.
Xiao Huang's thoughts are relatively simple, and he will definitely not be able to ask anything more from here, so we left the White Lion Garden and went to other places to inquire, but after a round of searching, we found nothing more.
The back mountain is the forbidden area of Penglai Immortal City. The entire Penglai Immortal City knows very little about that forbidden area.
The more I thought about it, the more mysterious it became, and the more I wanted to visit it.
When I thought about it, I looked at Nangong Fanzong, and my meaning was very obvious, and asked her if she wanted to go with me.
Nangong Fan said directly: "Chen Yu, you have become more and more courageous recently. Aren't you afraid that you will disappear like Xiao Yan, Zhang Rui, and Tang Qing?"
Of course I'm scared. I haven't gone to the upper world to save Mai Xiaorou yet.
But if I don't figure out the situation in the back mountain, I will feel itchy inside.
At this time, Hu Jiashu said: "How about this, we all go around outside the restricted area in the back mountain, we don't have to go in."
I nodded. This was a good way to temporarily satisfy my curiosity without being too dangerous.
Nangong Fancong also nodded and said, "Then let's go and have a look."
It seemed that she also wanted to go to the back mountain.
We walked along a small road in Penglai Fairy City towards the back mountain. This road leading to the back mountain restricted area was not guarded by any guards. It didn't take long for us to stand at the mountain pass of the back mountain restricted area.
There is a small road leading to this mountain pass, but when you reach this mountain pass, the road disappears. Looking in from this mountain pass, you can see a deep and wide valley with towering mountains on both sides.
There is no stream in the valley, but it is filled with huge boulders. Those stones are piled up in the valley, occupying most of the valley. If you go to the back mountain, you have to shuttle between the boulders. I vaguely feel that there is something in the gravel.
There is some unpredictable danger hidden.
After standing at the pass of the back mountain and watching for a while, Hu Jiashu said: "Forget it, let's get out of here. Although we haven't entered the restricted area yet, standing here makes people feel a little uncomfortable."
Nangong Fancong also nodded and said, "Indeed!"
Just when we were about to turn around and leave, a huge roar suddenly came from deep in the valley: "Ouch!"
The sound was so loud that the entire valley roared, and the boulders collided with each other, making a "bang bang" sound, making the atmosphere in the entire valley particularly strange.
Nangong Fancong also frowned and said, "That adult is angry. Something really seems to have happened in the back mountain!"
I asked Nangong who Fan Fang was.
Nangong Fanxong said: "Who else can be there, naturally it is the sacred beast that protects the mountain."
Before I could continue asking, Nangong Fanxong suddenly said: "Chen Yu, do you dare to go to the back mountain with me to find out what's going on?"
Nangong Fanxong took the initiative to go. Wasn't she always opposed to it before?
Before I could say anything, Nangong Fanxong said again: "I know you don't have the guts, so that's fine, I'll go by myself, and you can save your own life to save your Mai Xiaorou!"
Having said that, Nangong Fanyi stepped directly into the valley of the back mountain... (To be continued)
