"You don't need to know this for now. I will tell you before entering the Kunlun ruins. Okay, you can leave now." Peng Yue waved his hand and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the white light covering the entire hall flashed out, as if everything before had never happened.
Shi Mu nodded when he heard this, and walked out of the hall with Yan Luo.
"Remind you, don't try to escape. Before you step out of Lihuo Temple, I guarantee that you will be worse than dead because of the explosion of the spiritual sea." Peng Yue's solemn voice came from behind.
Shi Mu paused slightly, then continued to walk outside.
After a while, the two walked out of the hall, looked at each other, and walked towards the area where the cave was.
"What should we do now?" Shi Mu contacted Yan Luo through his mind.
"The restrictions set by that person are very strange. I need to study it further." Yanluo said.
"Fortunately, Peng Yue has an ulterior motive this time, and we should be safe for the time being. Judging from the current situation, what happened in the Xuanqiong Tower has not yet been exposed, but I am a little worried about whether Holy Lord Lichen will find any clues."
Shi Mu's mind transmitted the message.
"The Xuan Qiong Tower is really a rare treasure. The cave inside is extremely mysterious, but because it is too real, he can't find out anything. Okay, nothing happened, I'm going back now." Yan Luo said, facing himself
Head towards the cave.
Shi Mu watched Yan Luo leave, shook his head, and flew towards his cave.
After he returned to the cave, he entered the secret room directly, sat down cross-legged, his eyes flashed, and he sighed after a moment.
Sneaking into the Lichen Sect this time was really an impulsive and reckless move. Although Peng Yue didn't know when he discovered their identities, he did underestimate those saint-level existences.
Thoughts swirled in his mind, and after a long while he sighed and closed his eyes.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the cave, Shi Mu was practicing with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. At this moment, a purple light flashed on his body, and a layer of light emerged on his identity token, displaying a few small characters.
"Hurry to the main hall!"
His eyes moved, he stood up and walked outside.
After a while, Shi Mu arrived at the Lihuo Temple Hall.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen people standing in the main hall, all of whom had won the previous trials in Xuan Qiong Tower. Yan Luo had also arrived here, standing among the disciples. He glanced at Shi Mu who was standing at the door, and then moved away.
Opened my eyes.
On the main seat, Peng Yue sat with his eyes closed.
Shi Mu's eyes moved and he walked to stand not far from Yanluo.
Yanluo had been studying the restrictions in the spiritual sea for several days before, but unfortunately she had no clue. The two of them discussed it and could only listen to Peng Yue's words and act according to the situation.
Peng Yue opened his single eye, glanced at Shi Mu and the others, and quickly looked away again.
At this moment, a girl in purple robe slowly walked into the hall, glanced around for a few times, and walked towards Shi Mu and the other two. It was Ximen Xue.
"Senior Brother Lei Ji, Senior Sister Lin Tao." She greeted them both with a smile on her face.
"Junior sister Ximen." Shi Mu nodded and said.
Yan Luo glanced at Ximen Xue, frowned, and moved his gaze to the other side.
"The secret realm of Kunlun Ruins is finally about to begin. Brother Lei Ji, you should all be ready, right?" Ximen Xue asked.
"It's not bad." Shi Mu frowned slightly and said vaguely.
Because of Peng Yue's warning, Shi Mu and the others have not left Lihuo Temple in the past half month. The only preparation they made was to buy some elixirs, talismans and the like from the internal market of Lihuo Temple.
Ximen Xue seemed to be clinging to Shi Mu intentionally, pestering him and talking non-stop, and mentioned the Xuan Qiong Tower incidentally or unintentionally.
Although Shi Mu didn't want to ignore her, he couldn't say anything directly, so he had no choice but to talk to her. He naturally avoided talking about some matters involving Xuan Qiong Tower.
After a while, all the Lihuo Temple disciples who had won the trial in Xuan Qiong Tower came to the main hall.
"Okay, everyone is here, then follow me to the temple." Peng Yue stood up and flew outside.
The others immediately followed and quickly flew out of Lihuo Temple.
After flying for half an hour, the group arrived near a huge mountain peak.
The giant peak towers into the clouds. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, not to mention the top of the mountain, even halfway up the mountain cannot be seen. It is covered by clouds from the mountainside onwards.
Shi Mu looked at the giant peak in front of him with a look of shock in his eyes.
This peak is truly the largest mountain he has ever seen.
From Lei Ji's memory, he knew that this peak was called Aotian Peak. At this moment, when he looked at it, it did feel like it stood proudly between heaven and earth.
The temple of the Lichen Sect is on the top of this majestic peak.
The group of people soared into the sky and quickly submerged into the clouds. After flying for a while, their eyes suddenly opened up and they rushed out of the sea of clouds. The top of Aotian Peak suddenly came into view clearly.
Shi Mu glanced around and saw faint purple auspicious light emitting from the peak, and there were hundreds of huge palaces all over the place.
In the auspicious purple light, there were sounds of bells and cauldrons, and occasionally a few cranes flew by gracefully, and there were a few clear chirps, and the surrounding clouds and mist shrouded it, really like a fairyland in the heavenly palace.
Under the leadership of Peng Yue, the group quickly flew to the top of the peak and landed outside a huge palace.
There is a huge plaque hanging above the main hall, with the three characters "Zixiao Palace" written on it.
This is where the temple of the Lichen Sect is located.
Outside the hall, two men in purple robes stood on both sides. When they saw Peng Yue approaching, they raised their hands and saluted Peng Yue.
Peng Yue ignored the two of them and walked straight into the hall, followed by Shi Mu and others.
The space in the main hall is huge, and even if there are thousands of people standing there, it doesn't feel crowded at all. There are already many people here at this moment, including disciples from other temples.
Directly in front of the main hall is a small high platform with several levels of stairs. There are several people standing on it, but they are the masters of the three temples of Qiantian, Kundi and Xunfeng.
"Stand still here." Peng Yue ordered Shi Mu and others, stepped onto the high platform, said hello to several other temple owners, and started talking in low voices.
Shi Mu looked at the temple owners, feeling a little uneasy.
At this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate these saint-level existences. Although judging from the current situation, Peng Yue should not reveal his identity with Yanluo, but he would probably have to deal with Shen Tunan, the holy master of the Lichen Sect, later.
There is a meeting, and once your identity is exposed here, it won't end so easily.
He deliberately stood at the back of the Lichen Sect disciples, and Yan Luo also walked over without saying a word.
Time passed little by little, and after another half an hour, other disciples of the Four Views arrived one after another.
On the high platform in front of the main hall, a blur of figures appeared, and a man in white Confucian robes appeared out of thin air. It was Shen Tunan, the Holy Lord of the Lichen Sect.
"I have met the Holy Master." The Master of the Eight Views bowed and saluted at the same time, and the disciples below also hurriedly saluted.
"Okay, everyone is here." Shen Tunan glanced at the hundred Lichen Sect disciples below with gentle eyes.
"Next we will go to the ruins of Kunlun to participate in this trial, but before we go, we have something to say."
"Listen respectfully to the Holy Master's instructions." The disciples below said in unison.
Shi Mu felt a shiver in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any strange expression.
Shen Tunan nodded and said: "This trial in the secret realm of the Kunlun Ruins is an extremely rare opportunity. The Kunlun Ruins are the ruins of the fairy world, and there are many rare treasures in them. If you are lucky enough to enter them, you must search carefully.
If you can find one or two treasures that suit you, it will be better than a hundred years of hard work."
"Yes." When everyone heard this, they were filled with great joy and replied in unison.
"In addition to you, the people who entered the Kunlun Ruins this time are also two other disciples from the two Holy Lands. If you encounter them in the ruins, don't hurt the harmony of our three Holy Lands unless necessary." Shen Tunan continued.
Everyone responded again.
"Also, you got the treasures in the ruins of Kunlun. After you return to the sect, half of them will be handed over, and the remaining half will be kept for your own use." Shen Tunan said.
"Yes." Everyone had already expected this. Although they were reluctant to part with it, getting half of it was already pretty good.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's set off now." Shentu Nan stood up and walked towards the side hall.
All the eight temple masters followed behind, and a group of disciples below followed behind the temple master.
Seeing that Shen Tunan did not mention anything about the Xuan Qiong Tower, Shi Mu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward.
In the side hall, a huge space array was humming and emitting a large white light.
Next to the formation, dozens of formation masters were sitting or standing, holding spells in their hands to maintain the operation of the formation.
In mid-air, an old man in purple robes stood out of thin air. He was clearly a saint-level powerhouse, exuding an extremely huge aura.
Several formation flags beside this person slowly rotated, emitting rays of light that connected with the formation below.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed. This space magic circle was so large and complex that it seemed to be teleported over a considerable distance.
Shentu Nan and the master of Baguan Temple walked into the magic circle first, and then the hundred disciples participating in the trial also walked in.
The purple-robed old man in mid-air opened his eyes, nodded towards Shen Tunan, recited a spell, and the several formation flags beside him immediately shone brightly.
The formation mages around the magic circle also immediately began to cast spells. The teleportation magic circle glowed brightly and buzzed, and the dazzling white light covered everyone's vision.
Shi Mu's vision went dark, as if he had fallen into a dark space. The huge tearing force around him was acting on him. Even with his strong body, it was still too much to bear.
After an unknown amount of time, his eyes lit up and light appeared again.
There was a dull pain all over his body, and he took a few slow breaths before slowly getting better.
Shi Mu looked around. They were now in a huge square.
There is also a huge teleportation formation at the foot, with more than a dozen blue-black formation pillars standing around it.
The sky above our heads was dim, as if covered by yellow clouds.
Shi Mu looked around, and his heart moved. This place gave him a vaguely familiar feeling. Although the air was very light, it was filled with a faint evil spirit. (To be continued.)
