Turned a corner while ascending

Eight Great God Mountains, Guyan Town.

This is a town gathered on the gentler part of the Yunliu Mountain Range.

It is said to be a town, but it is actually not smaller than Lingwu City, the imperial city of Dongzhou, but there is no city wall built.

The Eight Great Mountains are the holy places for all cultivators and the place where they practice.Of course, the monks who practice the way of affection also have family members, and there must be mortals in the family, so the gods and mountains live together. huge network.

On a clear day, looking east from the town, you can see a tall and continuous green mountain range. The highest point is connected to the sky to block out the sun.

Fortunately, you can also see groups of monks riding magic weapons or flying swords from one end to the other in an instant, with a long trail of spiritual power behind them, hidden among the scattered mountains .

Those fairy palaces and shrines that everyone longs for are the places where the disciples of the sect practice, and outsiders can't see them. Lou Yuyu's demeanor.

In a restaurant in Guyan Town.

It was time to eat, and because the restaurant invited a fairy chef, there were so many guests that there were no empty seats.

On a small table for two people, there are two dishes, a pair of chopsticks, a wine glass and a pot of wine, but there are two guests.

A man and a woman. The woman is wearing a sky-blue double-breasted long dress with a row of buttons directly to her chin. Her long hair is tied up with a crown. In the center of the crown is a totem of a yin-yang fish, neat and tidy.

Opposite him was a man with a young face, but with a long beard, and his clothes were not well worn. His gray coat drooped, revealing his yellow underclothes.

Sitting in front of him was a bright and beautiful beauty, but this person's eyes were fixed on the two dishes on the table, a plate of copied mountain mushrooms, and a plate of hand-steaked meat, both of which were fragrant and oily. Have an appetite.

The chopsticks were within easy reach, and he could taste the deliciousness of these two dishes by picking them up, but unfortunately he just watched with his eyes, his arms were tightly bound by his sides, and he felt runes all over his body as soon as he moved. Luantan, suppressed him to death.

A guest at the table next to him noticed this scene. Looking at the girl's attire, he knew that this was a disciple of the Zhaoxin Sect going out to run errands. There was no room left, so he quickly ate a couple of bites, and took away what he couldn't finish.

"Girl, beauty, Fellow Daoist, I was just strolling around, what law did I break, and you want me to be locked up like this?"

"According to the Xinzong's ban, non-family monks within a thousand miles will be expelled below the fourth rank, and will be killed without mercy if they are above the fourth rank!"

"Injustice! Fellow Daoist, I just came here and stopped to rest my feet. You are so domineering in the Xinzong sect, so you hacked and killed it casually?"

The woman didn't speak, but clasped her arms in the middle, and a half-palm-long flying sword appeared out of thin air, shining with a faint blue light.

"Fellow daoist, how about this, you let me go, I'll leave right away, can't I just walk away?" The monk was anxious, and began to break free from the imprisonment again.

The female cultivator stopped talking nonsense, and when the man on the opposite side looked at him with hope, she moved her hands lightly, and a flash of sword light flashed across the man's upper dantian, nailing him to death on the spot!

In the end, what froze on his face was an unbelievable expression, filled with resentment that was about to die, his face was distorted and ugly, making people not want to take a second look.

Seeing the dead person, the people in the restaurant ran away in the blink of an eye, only a few shopkeepers were left respectfully kneeling on the ground, they also recognized the Taoist robe of this female cultivator, and the disciples of the Zhaoxin Sect would not know it outside. Feel free to shoot at mortals.

The female cultivator stretched out her hand, and the flying sword was put away. She walked to the corpse, squatted down and looked over him, and found a storage bag embroidered with a coat of arms.

"Junior Sister, how are you?"

A group of male cultivators came outside the door, and the leader asked.

"It's a member of the Illusory Spirit Sect, so I'm really overwhelmed."

"Well, let's go, we've searched all over the town, and we have to go to other places to meet him."

"Yes, brother."

After everyone left, the shopkeeper and the waiter got up. The body was taken away by the female cultivator, so he could just clean up the blood.

"Treasurer, this... what's going on."

"Shh, didn't you hear that, according to Xinzong's ban, this time it involves a radius of a thousand miles, I don't know what happened."

The sect ban was issued against all monks in the vicinity. This time, the one of Zhaoxin Sect covered thousands of miles and almost reached the gate of Yuding Gate, the second-rank sect that also belongs to the Yunliu Mountain Range. It can be seen that the matter is not small.

And where they couldn't see, the patrolling disciples of Zhaoxinzong who walked out of the restaurant couldn't help but glanced in the direction of their own mountain gate frequently. Their eyes were full of endless worship. Some eyes.

Yuqiong Mountain is the belief of the entire Zhaoxin Sect.

The big event that is about to happen, worthy of the ban issued by the Xinzong, is related to Yuqiong Mountain, one of the four holy places.

The Ruomu sacred tree on the mountain, a space dao seed that has been condensed for tens of thousands of years, is about to mature. During this period, the Zhaoxin sect must mobilize from the head to the young disciples who have just started. The spying from other high-ranking monks must also ensure that there are no fourth-rank monks who are not from the sect within a certain range, so as to secretly lure the Dao Seed.

When a fourth-rank monk died in Guyan Town at the foot of Yunliu Mountain, it was a peaceful evening in Dongzhou, the mortal world, and Lingwu City was also peaceful on the surface.

The city lord's mansion is built with red walls and blue tiles. It occupies a large area. There are strange flowers and scenery everywhere, and there are also secret rooms that ordinary people cannot enter.

In one of the secret rooms, the city lord was having a secret conversation with his confidants.

"City Master, this time is not good."

"How to say?"

"According to the reports of the subordinate spies, in the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm, there are six third-rank sects interfering in it, fifteen fourth-rank sects, and other hidden deeper forces that cannot be detected. This... .”

"It seems that the news spread quite widely, and we still consciously concealed it." The city lord pondered.

"City Master, with so many sect forces joining in, I'm afraid it's not good for us."

"That's right, City Lord. I, Lingwu City, don't involve any forces from the Divine Mountain, and I'm not familiar with other sects. How can the disciples in the city compete with the cultivators of the second-rank realm when they are fighting at this time?"

"..."

"If other cities have two minds and collude with sects of cultivators to create another Dongzhou imperial city at that time, it is not alarmist!"

"..."

"Let me think about it."

The city lord paced back and forth, frowning and said, "The secret realm of the Northern Wilderness is already a tradition, and it is impossible to stop and stop. Fortunately, the Northern Wilderness is near my Lingwu City, and the secret key to the entrance is in my hands."

"I have lived in peace with the East and West for nearly two years. After the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm is the selection of the disciples of Shenshan. The lords of the cities are all smart people. They shouldn't make trouble at this time, unless they want me to fight in the East Continent. At that time, my strength will not be enough. Enemy Xizhou, that's the real trouble."

"So I guess, what really attracts the sects is not the Dongzhou city lord, but the spirit tree in the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm."

"City Lord, that's what I said, but in case there are other cities that really have a second heart..."

"You are too underestimating practitioners."

City Lord Lingwu pursed his lips, his eyes were far-reaching, and he fell into memory: "True cultivators don't pay attention to ordinary things in the mortal world. Just think about it, what can they gain after they bother to help a certain city lord on Dongzhou? The spiritual power of Dongzhou is thin, no cultivator is willing to stay for a long time, even the children of my clan have to be sent to the Eight Great God Mountains to practice, they will not do such thankless things."

"That……..?"

"As usual, even if my disciples from the imperial city bring out the spirit wood, we won't be able to keep it in our hands. Since they want a place to enter the Northern Wilderness, let them go. After all, they can only enter at the highest second-rank level. Tell me The children in the city should be careful, just don't fight with them."

"Yes, the city lord is wise!"

.........

Jin Que and his party stayed in Lingwu City for a total of six days.

On the morning of the seventh day, they were about to set off for the Northern Wilderness.

The Northern Wilderness Secret Realm is hidden in the depths of the Northern Wilderness, surrounded by weird winds and lightning, it is a barren land, but the entrance to the secret realm is very stable, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, like an isolated island in the sea, a desert oasis, there is a teleportation array in the city lord's mansion, which can Send people directly to this place.

After a short period of dizziness, Jin stepped on solid ground.

This is a deep valley, surrounded by mountains, and there is no exit as far as the eye can see.Its size can accommodate thousands of people without any problem, and there is no air ban. Many people stepped on the flying magic weapon as soon as they landed, floating above everyone's heads.

Beyond the crowd, there is a white jade stone step, which is obviously made artificially. The stone step goes up, and at the end is a platform. Two old men are meditating on the platform. There is a blurred light behind them, like a rusty copper Mirror, the scene refracted inside is not stable, this is the entrance to the secret realm.

After everyone arrived, the city lord of Lingwu City appeared, standing on the high platform and talking, nothing more than announcing some rules, calling on everyone to live in peace and not to do anything wrong. Of course, such remarks are not even warnings. , especially this time so many sects of cultivators appeared, their binding force was almost non-existent.

At least Bai Zhizhuo noticed with his sharp eyes that Yuan Hongyi, who was knocked down by a stone he threw before, had already made many gestures of wiping his neck towards him.

No matter whether it is binding or not, what should be listened to should be listened to. When it was quiet, Bai Zhizhuo felt that there was something wrong with Jin beside him.

How should I put it, the eyes are getting brighter, the body is getting tighter and tighter, and the expression on the face is no longer innocent and harmless, just like a cat smells fishy smell, a bird finds food, a tiger encounters an elk, It is definitely the performance of a predator meeting its favorite prey.

Bai Zhizhuo was a little surprised, but Jin glanced at him, licked his lips and asked softly, "Do you know what will happen next?"

"What?" Didn't you enter the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm to get things?

"It's hunting!" Jin said excitedly in a low voice.

"Hunting?" Bai Zhizhuo's expression changed.

"There are powers in this world that you can't imagine. They can hear your whisper on your lips clearly, so I can't say more when it comes to alerting them." Jin Que's eyes were shining, and finally As he approached the first goal, he seemed a little excited, "Next, I hope you can help me."

"Then what benefit can I have?" Bai Zhizhuo raised his eyebrows.

Jin Que: "Help me this time, to offset the kindness of saving your life, and that cassock, I will give it to you for nothing!"

"The grace of a life is not small." Bai Zhizhuo said.

He likes to be alone, but the reason why he has been hanging out with Jin Que since he woke up is because he is not familiar with this world, and the second is because of this life-saving grace.

How should I put it, although it is a first-rank cultivation base, it is also the strength of the fourth-rank peak. It is very easy to protect a little ghost in the highest second-rank secret realm.

After all, if it wasn't for Jin Que, he might have died more than three years ago.

But Jin knew that he would not die. Not only would he not die, but he would also be sold into the auction house. Because of his appearance, he was well cultivated and eventually turned into a disaster-level furnace, which became a blockbuster in the auction house. Inexplicably photographed, followed by battle... death, and rebirth.

Although I don't know what Bai Zhizhuo has experienced in these hundreds of years, but if he wants to suppress his arrogance, he must have suffered a lot of inhuman torture.

Looking at Bai Zhizhuo's energetic appearance in normal times, Jin felt that although he didn't save his life, he saved his life!If he could correct this person's behavior from the very beginning and prevent him from messing around with women, then he could completely avoid the fate of being regarded as a furnace!

Thinking about it this way, this is more than a life-saving grace, plus that cassock, some losses are true.

Bai Zhizhuo saw that his small face was wrinkled, he seemed to have regrets, and hurriedly said: "Then it's settled, what do I need to do then?"

But Jin sighed: "It's all good to listen to me."

"no problem."

The two reached an agreement, but Jin also calmed down a little, and patiently thought about whether there were any missing clues.

He also heard rumors about the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm. He only knew that there were ancient beasts mixed in. Not only did he almost kill all the human monks who participated in the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm this time, he also took away something that existed in the Secret Realm. This thing is the future human race. One of the keys to the catastrophe.

So his goal this time, the first is to kill all the ancient orcs, and the second is to get that treasure.

But how to distinguish the ancient orcs?

Jin looked around, and gradually made a decision in his heart.
