Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi walked through the passage and came to the main hall of the temple. They saw two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiong family and two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Tianxing Sect facing each other in a tense situation.
Shen Mingjing stood behind the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tianxing Sect and was protected by them.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes quickly swept across the main hall of the temple. The whole hall was very spacious and circular in shape. The floor was made of shiny black stone bricks without any patterns on it.
There is a white circle on the top of the head, and it is pitch black inside, which corresponds to Taiyin Youying and Taiyang Zhuzhao.
On the walls surrounding the main hall, there are nine oval gates, like ripples in a lake, with something inside them flickering and rising with the ripples.
Jiang Yuebai took a quick glance and roughly saw a dragon, a phoenix, and a unicorn. Before he could see the others clearly, he heard Shen Mingjing's voice.
"As expected of you, Daoist Wangshu, you caught up so quickly."
Jiang Yuebai withdrew his gaze, and used one of his spiritual thoughts to continue to check the surrounding situation, and he and Lu Nanzhi were on full alert.
As soon as Shen Mingjing opened his mouth, two Xiong clan monks dressed in black and blue uniforms turned around abruptly and stared at Jiang Yuebai.
Among them, Xiong Wanjun, who had thick eyebrows, a square face, and was of strong build, and had the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, shouted in a rough voice, "Where is my True Master?"
On the side, Xiong Tianlai, a young and gentle man in the early Nascent Soul stage, secretly held his magic weapon, ready to go.
Lu Nanzhi was about to draw her sword, but Jiang Yuebai held her arm and said loudly, "The culprit who plotted against and seriously injured your True Master is there. Why are you yelling at me? Don't worry, your True Master is still breathing."
As soon as the words fell, both people from the Xiong family looked surprised. Shen Mingjing's eyes also trembled slightly, and he frowned, wondering whether Jiang Yuebai was telling the truth or a lie.
With such a good opportunity, why didn't she kill Xiong Yanhong
Xiong Wanjun and Xiong Tianlai looked at each other. Both of them had already decided to retreat. Previously, they had each gained something on the Tongtian Steps.
At this time, the life or death of their master is uncertain, and there are mysteries everywhere, which makes them feel very bad. Even if they have a magical treasure, they have to survive to get it.
Without the guidance of Zhenzun, the two of them had no chance of escaping unscathed.
Thinking of this, the two of them glared fiercely at the two cultivators of Tianxing Sect and Shen Mingjing. Tianxing Sect and Xiong family had been cooperating for many years, but they did not expect that Shen Mingjing would provoke their relationship with just a few words.
This matter must also be reported to the clan leader as soon as possible, and the cooperation between the Xiong family and the Tianxing Sect must be re-examined.
The two men from the Xiong family were about to leave. Jiang Yuebai felt nervous and was about to think of a way to stop them from disrupting the medicine refining process.
At this moment, Shen Mingjing's gaze suddenly passed Jiang Yuebai and looked at the dark corridor behind her.
Jiang Yuebai also felt a chill on his back, and at the same time as Lu Nanzhi, he felt an extremely powerful pressure. They both immediately dodged to one side of the hall.
"None of you can leave today!"
A loud shout and a gust of wind.
The two Xiongs were terrified and tried to resist in panic, but were still hit in the chest by the gust of wind. They flew backwards like a cannonball, hit the ground heavily and rolled several times. As soon as they got up, they each spat out blood.
A female cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation stage, wearing a turquoise long skirt and a cherry pink short shirt, walked towards them gracefully. Her face was stern and she released all her aura of dominance, completely covering every corner of the hall and making everyone present feel pressured.
Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi retreated to a distance, with a water wave gate flashing with the shadow of a black turtle behind them. Facing the pressure from the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Jiang Yuebai had a strong soul and a chaotic body, so he did not feel much pressure.
But she imitated Lu Nanzhi's frowning and gritting her teeth, and also grinned as if she was unable to resist. She secretly pinched Lu Nanzhi's arm to help her relieve the pressure.
Wen Su suddenly showed up, and Jiang Yuebai felt both surprised and relieved. Looking at Shen Mingjing's expression, if he wasn't having an affair with Wen Su, he must have expected the current situation.
Wen Su stood at the entrance, sweeping a cold gaze over everyone present.
“I didn’t expect so many people to come in this time.”
Jiang Yuebai's heart skipped a beat; this sentence revealed too much information.
In other words, when the Kunxu Secret Realm was opened before, it was not that no one had entered here, but that those who entered were unable to leave.
Jiang Yuebai's head went numb for a moment, and he subconsciously took a half step back, wondering whether he should take Lu Nanzhi away right now.
Wen Su suddenly turned her head and looked at Jiang Yuebai, making her feel like she was seen through.
"Don't worry, I just want to ask you to help me get something. Once you get it, I will thank you with a generous gift."
Jiang Yuebai cursed in his heart, a generous gift would mean sending them to hell, right
The two Xiong family monks supported each other to stand up. The two Tianxing Sect monks looked at each other and then looked at Shen Mingjing.
Shen Mingjing narrowed his eyes and nodded, signaling them to stay calm.
Lu Nanzhi and Jiang Yuebai also exchanged a glance. In front of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, they didn't dare to communicate casually.
But Jiang Yuebai suddenly saw Lu Nanzhi making a gesture to her. That was the gesture she designed in secret at the Kowloon Ruins. She was afraid that her telepathic communication would be discovered by the nine-headed dragon, so she designed a secret gesture. Only she and Lu Nanzhi knew the content.
Lu Nanzhi said, don’t be afraid.
Jiang Yuebai stiffened his neck, who is afraid
"Do you know what the Immortal King took from here back then? That's how he reached the Mahayana stage and mastered the Dao Fruit of Water?"
Wen Su answered his own question, "It is a Kunpeng Eye, and there is another Kunpeng Eye inside this temple. As long as you go through the doors around here, you can naturally reach the inner hall and see the altar dedicated to the Kunpeng Eye."
Wen Su's eyes were deep. As long as she got the other Kunpeng Eye, she would fly away immediately. When she was strong enough, why would she be afraid of Chongming Immortal Lord? Even if she took away his Dao Fruit, it was not impossible!
"Don't worry, what you got on the Tongtian Steps was just a small gift from the Kunxu Palace. The things behind these doors are treasures that you can only get once in your lifetime. What you can get depends on your own choice."
"As for Kunpeng's Eye, it is not restricted by the rules of the Divine Palace. Even if you get the treasures in the Divine Palace, you can still try to seize Kunpeng's Eye. As long as someone can get Kunpeng's Eye, I am willing to exchange it for an acquired spiritual treasure."
Acquired spiritual treasure!
The four cultivators from the Xiong Family and the Tianxing Sect opened their eyes wide, an acquired spiritual treasure is hard to come by, and if an acquired spiritual treasure is cultivated well, it can accompany a cultivator all the way to the Mahayana stage.
But their eyes soon dimmed, because Wen Su now had absolute suppression over them. Even if they could get it, they might not be able to leave alive.
In other words, if they had the ability to obtain Kunpeng's Eye, why would they exchange it with Wen Su
But if he didn't obey Wen Su's order, he would die immediately.
The situation did not allow them any other choice, so they could only begin to look around at the doors around them, wondering which one to enter.
Maybe after going in, you can find another exit.
Lu Nanzhi gestured to ask Jiang Yuebai, Jiang Yuebai looked around and found that these doors and formations did not match each other and there was no pattern. The phantoms in the water waves might represent a type of inheritance and a corresponding trial.
"Only one person can pass through each door. Once you have completed the trial, return here. I will be waiting for you."
In the distance, Shen Mingjing had just as Jiang Yuebai had expected and walked to the door with the phantom of the Qilin. Next to him was the Qinglong Gate that Jiang Yuebai wanted to choose.
The main reason is that there is no grass gate here, otherwise she would have a deeper connection with spiritual herbs and would be more confident.
Lu Nanzhi thought for a moment and chose the Xuanwu Gate, which represents water.
Now that we are here, we should make the best of it, walk and see, grab what we can, if we can’t grab it or can’t win, just run!
Also, I write slowly...
