After hearing Li Yunxia's words, the expressions of the other people suddenly changed.
"What! You mean... he is Li Mochen, the Li Kezhou who recently regained the title of the First Sword Master of the Purple Sword Sect?"
"No wonder! No wonder he appeared here. He must have seen you from a distance, Senior Sister Yunxia, and you were in danger, so he came to save you from the danger. We really have taken advantage of Senior Sister, otherwise we would be unlucky today."
When Li Yunxia heard this, the expression in her eyes became even more complicated.
One of the men looked up at the direction in which Li Kezhou was leaving and exclaimed: "This is the real genius! If I saw it right, the sword energy that this senior brother used just now should be the legendary sword energy in the shape of a dragon."
The other man kept nodding his head: "The second secret of sword energy is indeed a power that only the proud ones of heaven are worthy of possessing. None of the dozen or so elders of my sword palace can achieve the dragon form of sword energy. This shows how extraordinary this realm is."
.”
The girl named Yang Chan glanced at Li Yunxia with envy on her face: "Senior sister, I really envy you. You have such a brother. No wonder the master of the palace values you so much."
After Yang Chan finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had said something wrong. She gently touched her mouth, lowered her head and said nothing.
Li Yunxia didn't say anything, but she also knew that the reason why she was admitted to the Dianxing Sword Mansion in the first place was because of the three words "Li Jianyi".
At this time, there was suddenly a violent coughing and wheezing sound.
"Elder! The elder is not dead."
Four people gathered around him and helped the old man up.
The long-bearded old man's face was pale. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. The four of them followed his gaze and saw a group of eight people appearing in the forest.
Naturally, it was Sikong Shu and his party hanging behind Li Kezhou.
When several people saw the aura of the eight people, they were all as silent as ice.
Sikong Shu came here and stopped to look at it. He looked at the body lying on the ground and the dragon-shaped sword marks left on the ground. His expression was gloomy and terrifying.
Gu Zanglong behind him saw the dragon marks on the ground, his face was full of jealousy: "Such power should never belong to that beast, only I, Gu Zanglong, should have it."
He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred, and his heart roared.
When Sikong Shu saw the five people who were as silent as a chilling cicada, he seemed to have found someone to vent his hatred on, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The old man with a long beard seemed to feel something. He coughed lightly and said quickly: "We are from the Dianxing Sword Mansion and belong to the forces under the Ziji Sword Sect. Judging from how many of them are dressed, they must be the seniors of the Sword Sect. The subordinates are not welcome. You are stunned.
Why are you here? Why don’t you quickly salute the two seniors and senior brothers..."
The four Jianfu disciples behind him immediately realized what he was doing and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
When Sikong Shu heard that the other party was from the Dianxing Sword Mansion, his murderous intent suddenly restrained. This sword manor was under the command of Jian Zong and could be considered a friend rather than an enemy. In addition, the opponent's posture was very low, which made it difficult for him to unleash his murderous intent.
He glanced at a few people coldly: "You don't know the heights of the sky, is this the place you should come to? Get out..."
The long-bearded old man was obedient, and after responding repeatedly, with the support of four disciples, he quickly left towards the outside...
During this gap, Ye Han fully assumed his responsibility as the weakest member of the team, went forward to search for the lying corpse, and came back with a heavy look on his face.
"Who is the dead person? Do you know him?" Sikong Shu asked calmly.
Ye Han cupped his hands and said: "Return to the elder! Unfortunately, the disciple did have a chance encounter with this person. This person's surname is Xu. He comes from the Tongzhou Association. His cultivation level is in the middle stage of Condensing Pills. He and his disciple had an encounter at an auction.
A short contest."
"How did you die?"
"One...killed with one sword!"
Ye Han's voice was trembling.
What he said undoubtedly meant that Li Kezhou had the strength to kill him with a sword, which made him unwilling to face it.
"This little..."
Sikong Shu, the "beast," didn't wait to say anything. He glanced at Feng Xihan at the side and changed his tone: "This kid is more powerful than before, and he will be more useful to me during this trip."
"Let's go... continue on the road. According to the map, we will arrive at the first stop [Heiyun Ancient Temple] in the late afternoon. Once we get there, we will be halfway through the journey to Black Mountain."
Everyone responded, got up and chased Li Kezhou in the direction he left.
…
"There seems to be a temple ahead!"
"How can there be a temple in this black mountain where monsters gather?"
Li Kezhou stared far ahead, feeling a little surprised.
He made sure again and again that he had not taken the wrong route, and then walked straight towards the ancient temple.
When he got closer, he realized that this so-called temple was nothing more than a shell. The entire temple was so dilapidated that it could be described as broken walls and ruins.
He walked in by stepping on the broken plaque of "Heiyun Ancient Temple".
By this time, it was already dark, and there were strange noises everywhere in the jungle.
Black Mountain is originally a demon nest. If you spend the night in the forest, you will undoubtedly have a narrow escape from death, and this ancient temple has become the place where most people stay at night.
When Li Kezhou pushed the door open and entered, a bonfire was already burning inside.
The fire was not one pile, but two piles, occupying two corners. These two corners were also the only sheltered areas on the roof above.
Following the creak of the broken door, more than a dozen pairs of eyes inside looked toward the door.
Li Kezhou had just stepped one foot across the threshold when a loud sound of drum beating suddenly sounded.
"Get out! This place is full!"
In this dark night, ordinary people would feel goosebumps all over their bodies when hearing this sudden loud sound, even if they were not startled. However, Li Kezhou ignored it and stepped across the threshold with his feet.
Reflecting on the bonfire, he could see clearly that although there were only two bonfires and no more than ten living people, dead people were scattered all over the place, lying all over the ground. The strange thing was that no one had blood on them.
All of them were dead and ferocious, pale and without a trace of blood, as if they had been frozen to death.
"You kid, you won't listen! Don't say I didn't remind you that this ancient temple is a place of great evil. Nine out of ten people who come in will die. I bet you will never see the sun tomorrow."
The speaker was a big man with his back turned to him.
This man dressed wildly, sipped wine and meat, and ate happily. Moreover, this man had a bonfire to himself, which was in sharp contrast to another bonfire that was crowded with people.
Li Kezhou didn't pay attention to this person's alarmist remarks and found a relatively dry place to sit down.
Almost as soon as he sat down, he felt a light on his back. He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the source of the feeling.
It was a group of faint and dazzling eyes, coming from another corner, that is, by another bonfire.
There were a total of six people in this group, all shrouded in gray robes. All of them had a feminine and strange aura, giving people a lifeless and lifeless feeling. Even he had a feeling that these were not human beings at all.
