Chapter 341
341 The Phoenix in the first heaven changes its path, and the demon-slaying in the second heaven continues its fire
On the floating island of the Chu family camp.
In the middle of the crowd was a tall man, at least two heads taller than ordinary people. He was dressed in a dark purple robe and had a thick black cloak draped over his shoulders. His brows were horizontal and his forehead was wide, his nose was as high as a mountain, and his eyes were deep and dark.
Surrounded by a few generals of the Chu clan, they sat on a large chair carved with ferocious beasts.
Behind the chair stood a tall and slender woman. She was also dressed in a black robe and had long black hair. Her expression was cold.
Looking at the Qi family’s progress in cutting the tree bark, the woman bowed slightly and said, ” “Young master, we might not be able to catch up with the Qi clan’s progress today.”
“It’s fine,”
Although the man’s body was burly, if one looked carefully, there was a bit of youthful spirit in his strong outline. He should not be old.
He waved his hand and said, ” Qi kexiu is quite smart. This time, he thought of an idea before me. It’s normal for him to be ahead of us. This secret realm will be open for many days, so it’s fine to let him win this day first.”
When the man spoke, his eyes turned, and there was actually the shadow of double pupils. Wherever his gaze passed, there was a heavy pressure.
“Ha.” He sneered at first, then said in an extremely domineering and deep voice, ” as a wise man with the surname Lu said, being fat at first is not considered fat. Being fat later will crush the Kang!
“Yes.”
The woman behind him also seemed to be intimidated by the boldness in his words. She unconsciously took a step back before nodding in agreement.
Unlike the Qi family, which had a few candidates for the successor in this generation, there was still a lot of competition within the family. In this generation of the Chu family, from the day the child with the Overlord body was born, it was confirmed that he would be the only heir to the Chu family.
The last person who had an Overlord body was the previous owner of this secret realm, Chen fuhuang.
The strength of the Overlord body was evident.
The young man in front of him was the young master of the Chu clan. He was also regarded as the leader of the seven great clans, Chu Xiangyu.
However …
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud explosion could be heard from the Qi clan’s floating island!
Chu Xiangyu looked back and saw that the Huaxu Wutong tree on the island had been cut in half by a meteor!
After a series of rumbling sounds, the huge ancient sycamore tree fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Xiangyu’s pupils shrank and he shouted, ” “Swish-”
The eyes of the woman behind the chair lit up. the Qi family’s parasol trees are broken? Then Jin Lu will definitely be welcoming us!”
that’s a pleasant surprise, ” Chu Xiangyu nodded.
Just as they were speaking, a golden light suddenly spread out from the distant horizon, and in the blink of an eye, it became a myriad of multicolored lights.
“Jin Lu is here!” Someone shouted.
The Golden Phoenix that flew out of the darkness was extremely huge. When it spread its wings, each of them could hold a floating island. When the giant venomous snake, which had carried thousands of people, saw it, it couldn’t help but shrink its head.
No wonder it was afraid. Compared to this Big Bird, it was only a little turtle.
Each of the Golden Phoenix Feathers seemed to be shining with dazzling golden light. The distant darkness was broken in an instant. With a slight flap of its wings, it flew to the top of several floating islands.
It seemed to be looking for something.
However, he didn’t have much of a choice.
The rest of the floating islands were empty, only the Qi and Chu families had people on them.
When its gem-like eyes swept across the treeless floating island, it seemed to reveal a fleeting sense of confusion.
It was like a multiple-choice question with only two options, and one wrong answer was ruled out. Then the choice was obvious.
“Swish-”
The Golden Luan let out a loud and clear cry and flew toward the Chu family’s floating island.
However,
Just as it was about to take over the floating island where the Chu clan was located, another change occurred.
On the Qi family’s slightly empty Island, a green tree suddenly appeared.
As soon as this tree appeared, it instantly swept up all the wood vortexes in the surroundings, forming a vortex of wood vortexes that grew wildly. However, the most eye-catching part of it was not how fast it grew, but the rustling of the tree.
So handsome?
Although it was very strange to use this word to describe a tree, everyone had the same word in their minds at the same time.
Moreover, it was so accurate and appropriate to use the Kasaya on this tree.
It seemed that not only humans could feel that the handsome Golden Phoenix had suddenly stopped in mid-air.
It was obvious that this was the first time it had seen such a scene.
As the saying goes, without the Wutong tree, the Golden Phoenix would not be attracted.
The bond between the Golden ni family and the Huaxu Wutong tree was like a bloodline contract.
However, there was a common saying that the green plum could not defeat the heavenly descent.
The moment it saw the tree, the Golden centipede suddenly felt its heart waver.
The Huaxu Wutong that had accompanied him for ten thousand years suddenly became so insignificant.
After a long struggle, almost half a breath’s time, the Golden centipede resolutely changed its direction.
They turned towards the small island where the Qi clan was located!
“Pfft.” Chu Xiangyu furrowed his brows as he watched this scene unfold. His expression was disheartened as he said in an extremely domineering voice, ” “I’m a f * cking good guy, Yingluo.”
The woman behind him also shook her head in confusion. this Mystic realm is really strange.
“Chu Ci, Qianqian.”
Chu Xiangyu suddenly stood up and ordered, ” looks like we’ve lost today, but we have to find out who that handsome tree in the Qi family, Qianqian, is.
“Yes.”
The woman named Chu Ci replied.
……
In fact, it wasn’t just the Chu family who was confused. Even the Qi family members were confused, including Qi kexiu, who had seen Li Chu transform into a tree.
Li Chu’s idea was simple. He just wanted to give it a try.
I cut down one of your trees, so I’ll just transform into another one. Anyway, as long as there were enough clogs, they could grow indefinitely, and it was not impossible for them to reach the position of the Huaxu Wutong.
However, Li Chu did not expect the effect to be so good.
When the Golden Phoenix saw the tree that it had turned into, it did not hesitate to change its path.
Bang-
Jin Lu flew to the bottom of the floating island and lifted the island on its back. Together with the cultivators of the Qi clan on the island, they advanced forward. The thick darkness gradually enveloped everyone on the island.
Li Chu also transformed back into his original form and heaved a long sigh of relief. At least he did not cause any trouble.
Opposite him, Qi kexu looked at Li Chu hesitantly and asked, ” “This brother, Who are you?”
I’ve said it before, ” Li Chu replied. I’m just a little Taoist in the deyun temple in Jiangnan.
Qi kexiu was even more confused.
This deyun temple was not a famous immortal sect, and the name sounded weird. How could such a person appear?
The transformation technique he used just now was clearly a celestial spell!
How could a celestial spell have such power?
It was simply ridiculous!
However, there were too many outrageous things, and he didn’t even know where to start asking. Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Jin Lu entered the second heaven and earth.
Boom–
……
Fire.
When Chen Huaiji opened his eyes in the darkness, there was only a small cluster of dancing red flames in front of him. The flames covered a small area of three to five Zhang in radius.
“Old du? Little Daoist priest li? Where did you guys go?”
Chen Huaiji suddenly felt a sense of danger when he couldn’t see his own people and hurriedly called out.
“Don’t scream. They won’t hear you even if you scream your lungs out.”
Another voice came from beside the fire.
Chen Huaiji looked over again.
The fire was burning in a short tree stump. Besides him, there were four or five other people around the stump, who were looking at each other. When their eyes met, they were somewhat unfamiliar and fearful. It was obvious that they did not know each other.
The one who spoke just now was a middle-aged man in the Qi family’s uniform.
I’m a steward of the Qi family’s main branch. I’ve been to the second heaven and earth before, so I can tell you the rules here.
The Qi family’s steward straightened his neck and glanced at them from the corner of his eyes.
“The first level of this secret realm is ‘golden Luan welcoming’, and the second level is’ demon slaying and flame continuation’. The darkness outside is filled with demons and ghosts, and there is no lack of powerful evil spirits. It’s quite dangerous.” He said.
“Ah?” Someone started panicking. when the Qi family called us here, they didn’t say that we would die!
“Don’t worry,” The Qi clan’s steward waved his hand and said,””It happened too suddenly, so I didn’t have time to explain it to you. However, the Qi clan has already discovered the laws of this place. The evils in the dark are most afraid of the fire. As long as we stay within the range of the fire, we will not be attacked by any of the evils.”
Hu ~ Hu ~ Hu ~”Chen Huaji let out a long breath. that’s good.
“But this fire will eventually be extinguished.” The Qi family’s steward suddenly added.
“Ah?”
“The fuel to sustain this flame is a Blood Crystal that the evils drop after they die. If I want to live a stable life, I have to kill the evils.”
The fire was reflected on the Qi family’s manager’s face, and he looked uncertain.
“As long as we can hold on for twenty-four hours, the person with the bright fire will be led to the Third Secret realm. The others can also leave safely.”
“Twenty-four hours of Suan ni.” Chen Huaji asked weakly, ” “Then how long can our current fire last?”
“In less than two hours, it will gradually extinguish,” the Qi family’s manager said.
“What?” Chen Huaiji immediately facepalmed.
However, everyone present was a xiuzhe. After knowing the specific laws, they were not so afraid.
“What are you afraid of?” we’re here to make a fortune anyway, ” someone shouted. instead of being afraid, why don’t we make this fire bigger and break into the third-level secret realm!
“Well said,” The Qi clan’s manager smiled and asked,”may I know what cultivation States you all are at?” If we communicate with each other, we’ll know each other’s background even if we cooperate.”
Immediately, everyone reported their cultivation levels to each other. They found out that apart from the Qi clan’s manager, who was at the early Dragon Realm, the others were only at the divine unity realm.
The Qi clan’s manager frowned when he heard this. I’m afraid we can’t kill too many evil spirits with our current strength. We should focus on guarding the fire to protect ourselves.
“Then how do we protect ourselves?” Someone asked.
“If many people enter the darkness together, it will definitely attract even more powerful evils that will be very difficult to deal with.” The best way is to get someone to step into the darkness and lure the evil to the fire. Then, we will attack together and kill the evil.”
“This is good.” “Only one of us can lure the evil. The rest can stay in the light. It’s much safer,” Chen Huaiji agreed.
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
“Then who’s going to attract the evil first?” Chen Huaiji asked again.
The air remained silent.
“Eh?” “Why are you all looking at me?” Chen Huaiji blinked.
“Your cultivation level is the lowest here, so you should be the one to attract the evil,” the Qi clan’s steward said.
what kind of logic is this? ” Chen Huaiji wanted to argue, but when he saw the fierce faces in front of him, he immediately understood the logic behind it.
This was because no one could defeat the person with the lowest cultivation. If they didn’t bully you, who else would they bully?
“I’m the black-robed guard of the Imperial Palace. If anything happens to me, you won’t be able to escape responsibility!” He added.
“Eh? Chaotian que?”
“Hehe, Yingluo.”
The people in the fire looked at each other and sneered in unison.
Chen Huaiji also pursed his lips.
If this was any other place in the Heluo dynasty, how could the disciples of the Imperial court be bullied like this? However, in the southern Heaven region, the Imperial court was just a decoration, so naturally, no one respected it.
In addition, if Daoist priest Li JR. Was still around, no one would dare to bully him like this.
The Qi clan’s manager said coldly,”Lord Black-robed guard, don’t waste time.” I’ll give you an incense’s time, if you haven’t thought about it, then don’t blame me for sending you out for a walk.”
“Don’t think I’m afraid of you!”
Rong jitun shouted and stood up with a wave of his sleeves. He then said in an arrogant tone, ” “I can walk on my own!”
……
Li Chu also came to the fire.
There were four to five figures in the fire.
Looking across, there were two young men of similar age opposite him. They were dressed in similar clothes and seemed to be disciples of some immortal sect.
They were obviously very happy to be together. They were actually able to be ranked in the same sect with such a random law.
On the left was a burly man with a knife scar. He carried a large knife on his back, and there was a scar running through his face. It was very terrifying, making his appearance inevitably fierce.
On the right was a small girl, her facial features were somewhat exquisite under the light of the fire. At this time, she was blinking her big eyes uneasily and looking around.
However, when she saw Li Chu, her uneasiness disappeared.
In fact, she was not the only one. When the other three saw Li Chu, they also fell silent.
Just now, outside, they had seen with their own eyes that this young Daoist cut the Huaxu Wutong in half and turned it into a very handsome tree, which attracted the Golden Luan.
This series of God-level operations was simply inhuman.
If it was someone else, they might not have remembered his face, but this face of his, even if it turned to dust, it was impossible to mistake it.
Li Chu saw that everyone was looking at him and realized that he should be the one to break the silence. He asked, ” “Do you all know what’s going on here?”
“I know!” A young man raised his hand in a flattering manner. my master is friends with the Qi family’s butler, so he told us the laws of the second heaven and earth before we came.
Then, he explained the rules of this place, which were similar to what the Qi family’s steward had said.
in this case, if we want to protect ourselves here, someone has to go out and lure the evil over, ” the scar-faced man said immediately.
His eyes glowed with an ominous glint.
He glanced at the two young men and the little girl, but no one dared to look him in the eye.
Then, he glanced at Li Chu.
Then, he quickly looked away, not daring to meet Li Chu’s eyes.
“Then it seems that I’ll be the first one to attract the evil,” he said in a deep voice.
“Eh?”
The rest of the people were a little surprised.
“Why is that?” Li Chu asked.
Scarface said, ” it’s obvious that those young people have not experienced the dangers of the martial world. The situation outside is not clear. It’s better for someone to go out and explore first.
“It’ll probably be better if I go,” Li Chu said.
“You?” Scarface was taken aback. but isn’t your cultivation the strongest among us? ”
“Is there a conflict?” Li Chu retorted.
“But …” The scar-faced man didn’t know what to say.
According to his experience in the martial world, in such a dangerous situation, the strongest person would definitely send out those weaker than him to explore the way first to preserve his strength.
It had almost become a rule.
The reason why he volunteered to be the first to go out and attract the evil was that he was worried that Li Chu would push a few of the weaker young men out and cause them to lose their lives in vain.
However, Li Chu’s question clearly showed that he did not think that way. If he said it again, it wouldn’t be good if he was reminded.
“I’m the oldest here. In terms of seniority, I should be the one to go,” he said after some thought.
“How can we talk about this now?” Li Chu shook his head.”If the stronger person takes action, the possibility of injury will be smaller.”
no matter what, I’ll go. the scar-faced man was a little embarrassed, but he still insisted.
“It’s better for me to go.” Li Chu did not give in.
“If you don’t let me go, you’re looking down on me!” Scarface said.
Li Chu said,”then give me some face, Yingluo.”
Scarface said,”at least let me go once, I’m already here.”
Li Chu said,”don’t argue, it’s the New Year’s bi an.”
“Why don’t we go together?” Scarface asked.
“What?” “Alright,” Li Chu nodded.
The three young men at the side were stunned. For some reason, they felt as if they were checking out at a restaurant.
……
As he spoke, Li Chu and Scarface walked out of the small area covered by fire.
Li Chu was able to see a distance of three meters in front of him with his eyesight due to the darkness. Moreover, it had isolated all divine sense and aura, so it was completely impossible to predict what would come out of it.
The two of them walked forward side by side, each step cautiously.
“Hehe, how should I address you, brother?” Scarface suddenly asked.
“Li Chu of deyun temple.” “What about you?” Li Chu asked.
“I’m Niu SANDAO, a swordsman who travels in the southern border. I don’t have a master.”
Li Chu responded.
Scarface laughed. I think you’re a good person. You have a strong cultivation base and you don’t bully others. You’re someone who can achieve great things. If you continue cultivating, you’ll be able to break through your decline soon.”
When he saw that Li Chu was able to enter the secret realm, he thought that his cultivation was below the severing fadestone.
Just as they were casually chatting, they suddenly heard Niu SANDAO shout, ” “Be careful!”
It turned out that a black shadow flashed behind him and suddenly pounced out like lightning. The figure was completely unclear and it was very fast! He went straight for Li Chu!
In a moment of desperation, Niu SANDAO did not have time to Dodge, so he mustered all his strength and pushed Li Chu hard!
Bang!
He wanted to push Li Chu away to avoid the attack, but a huge force bounced him back. Li Chu did not move at all, and he instantly flew into the air.
Li Chu had already reacted before he could even cry out. The pure yang sword in his right hand was already out of his bag, and he slashed fiercely!
Boom–
A Red Dragon came down from above, and the black shadow was swallowed before it could even show its body.
The Red Dragon flew out another hundred feet and dispersed a large area of darkness before it dissipated. The surrounding darkness was like thick ink, flowing back.
“Eh?”
Li Chu then noticed that SANDAO Niu, who was beside him, had disappeared!
“Brother bull, brother bull?” he called out.
I’m here, I’m here, I’m here. a vague voice came from a few hundred feet away.
Li Chu quickly walked over and found SANDAO Niu lying on his back. His hands were in a weak position, and he seemed to have been injured quite badly.
“How did you get hurt?” Li Chu asked.
that’s right, CAW CAW! Niu SANDAO yelped and was also a little puzzled.
“Why am I the one who’s injured, Yingluo?”
