"It's already so late, why don't you get up and leave?"
The master's voice was as stern as usual. Chu Danfeng was awakened by the shock, and then he stared at the hazy night outside the window in a daze - it was not even daybreak yet! And where were they going
Meng Cangyu: "The barrier of Wanjian Peak will be opened at 15:30. Go earlier and get up the mountain earlier. Xiaowu, why are you still in a daze? Lian Xuan'er is already dressed!"
Chu Danfeng glanced at Hua Tingxuan beside him, and this time he was completely awake - he saw that the little dumpling had really put on his disciple uniform. Although he was still sleepy, his eyes were filled with excitement as he was eager to try.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
It was not until the two of them were driven by Meng Cangyu to the flying carriage of Lixu Peak that Chu Danfeng quietly asked Hua Tingxuan: "When did Master agree to it? How come I didn't know?"
The little girl blinked her big dark eyes innocently: "I want to give my little brother a surprise."
"I'm the only one who's surprised. You're the one who's happy, right?" Chu Danfeng knocked on his little head with a folding fan. He knew clearly in his mind: this kid must have been afraid of his opposition, so he kept it secret. Now he's been thrown onto the Pegasus carriage. Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. He's been tricked into getting on board.
He is not even six years old, but how can he be as clever as a monkey!
Little Tuanzi knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't hide when he was beaten. Instead, he stuck close to Chu Danfeng and tried to make amends in a childish voice: "I pestered him for a long time, and Master finally agreed."
Elder Meng's Pegasus Chariot, like the "Fire Lotus Pond", is his treasure and he is not willing to show it to others easily. However, the opening of the Ten Thousand Swords Peak is a big event for the sect. The masters of the sixteen peaks will also secretly compare to see whose disciples can pull out more and higher-quality spiritual swords.
Meng Cangyu was like an old father sending his children to take the college entrance examination. He even took out the Pegasus carriage from the bottom of the box, just to provide a comfortable environment for the candidates.
Facts have proved that it was very far-sighted of Master to dig them up early.
At the Wangjianpo at the foot of Wanjian Peak, there were several magical vehicles for transporting people parked, including flying horse carriages, flying boats, and a flying sword that was larger than a boat. At dawn, most of the space close to the entrance to the Wanjian Peak barrier had been occupied.
It was quite comfortable in the Pegasus carriage. Chu Danfeng hugged the soft and warm little girl, leaned against the cushion, and fell asleep again in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, Hua Tingxuan woke him up. Chu Danfeng wiped the corner of his mouth and rubbed his eyes, then he saw Fang Qingya and Huang Changtian's indescribable expressions.
Huang Changtian gave Chu Danfeng a thumbs up: "You can even sleep like this, Xiaowu, your calmness is amazing! It's like you remain calm even when the sky is falling. I was so nervous that I didn't sleep well last night, and just now Fourth Junior Brother was also so nervous that he couldn't concentrate..."
"It's just posturing." Fang Qingya snorted disdainfully, "Drawing out the sword is the real skill."
Chu Danfeng rolled his eyes in his heart. This person really didn't get along with him. He would argue whenever he heard someone praising him.
"Yes, drawing the sword is a real skill. I believe that Fourth Brother has already made up his mind and will be the first. We should wait for good news." The speaker was Hua Tingxuan. His voice was clear and he sounded serious, but every word he said was full of sarcasm.
"..." Fang Qingya couldn't find the right words to confront the child, and his face turned a little green.
Chu Danfeng couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips. When did this kid learn to be so sharp-tongued? Little Tuanzi served him like a child bride all day long, and he almost forgot that Hua Tingxuan was a man who would not suffer any loss.
But it was also different from his previous life. His junior brother in the previous life had never protected him like this.
The past is over. I will no longer compete with him for women in this life. Maybe we can live in peace and be brothers for the rest of our lives.
Chu Danfeng was still lost in thought, while his senior brother Zhou Yuanshan and second senior sister Ye Bailu were already asking them to get off the car.
The two senior brothers and sisters have already pulled out the spiritual swords from Wanjian Peak and cannot go up the mountain again. This trip is specially made to cheer up the junior brothers.
It was almost noon now, the sun was shining brightly, and the foot of the mountain outside the barrier was crowded with people. It really looked like the college entrance examination. Ye Bailu straightened Chu Danfeng's collar and kept whispering to him, "Don't be too competitive," "Safety first," and "Don't get into conflicts with others." After thinking for a while, she added, "If someone bullies you, come back and tell me, and I'll help you vent your anger."
In front of outsiders, the master still maintained a stern and cold image, standing far away with his hands behind his back. He was no longer the "old father" who personally dug his disciples out of bed. The eldest brother Zhou Yuanshan spoke in a low voice to the other two brothers, and Fang Qingya and Huang Changtian stood straight, looking like they were willing to learn humbly.
The youngest junior sister, Lin Shu'er, was throwing herself at Chu Danfeng relentlessly - every time she was about to succeed, Hua Tingxuan would push her away calmly.
There was a bustling crowd on Wangjianpo. In such bustle, a deep and powerful bell rang out, and the Wanjianfeng barrier was opened on time. The first batch of disciples took the lead in stepping into the mountain protection barrier amid the ancient and melodious lingering sound.
This was not the first time Chu Danfeng climbed Wanjian Peak, and he had some impression of every flower and tree here.
The foot of the mountain is no different from an ordinary mountain, with flourishing flowers and trees and lush green shade. The higher you go, the richer the spiritual energy becomes, but the vegetation gradually becomes sparse, and there are more rugged rocks. Occasionally, you can see some spiritual swords inserted in the rocks.
Chu Danfeng knew that his golden elixir had not been restored yet and he was not strong enough to draw the sword he wanted, so he simply took Hua Tingxuan's hand and slowly enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Just think of it as taking the kids on a spring outing.
Because Chu Danfeng walked slowly, he had already distanced himself from his two brothers. While lazily climbing the mountain, he squeezed the child's palm and said, "Whenever you get tired, we'll go back early."
But the little guy insisted: "Little brother, I'm not tired. I can walk until the barrier is closed."
The barrier will not be closed until seven days later. Even if there are still disciples staying on the mountain by then, they will be ejected by the mountain protection formation.
"Are you planning to quit halfway?" Huang Changtian turned his head and shouted in shock, saying with great sorrow, "This is a rare opportunity. You have to finish climbing even if you can't climb anymore, Xiaowu!"
This shout was quite powerful, and many people in front turned around and looked at Chu Danfeng.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
It was already conspicuous enough that he brought a little child to climb Wanjian Peak. From the moment he climbed the mountain, he deliberately lagged behind everyone else for a distance, just to find a chance to slip away quietly. But this time, he attracted attention again.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Chu from Lixu Peak?"
"Why did he bring a child up the mountain?"
"But I haven't seen Chu Danfeng for a while. I used to see him often taking on missions or sparring with others at the Sword Training Ground. He was so diligent... Now that I think about it, it seems like I haven't seen him for half a year."
"He's in seclusion, right?"
"Oh, what seclusion? I think he is too embarrassed to see people!" A loud voice stood out among the whispers.
Chu Danfeng looked over at the provocative tone and the tone of finding fault. He saw that the person who was speaking was a burly strong cultivator. He looked unfamiliar, but he was wearing the uniform of an inner sect disciple. Needless to say, he should be a disciple of Zhenyu Peak. Fourth Uncle Bai Cangshan loved to recruit disciples the most. He had more disciples taught by himself than outer sect disciples from other branches, so the quality of the disciples was very uneven.
Chu Danfeng faced everyone's gaze, but led his junior brother forward with confidence, and said calmly: "Senior brother, I don't know you at all."
Na Li Xiu snorted: "It's enough that you know my junior brother Li Ban! Do you dare to say that it wasn't you who killed him?"
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Chu Danfeng was so angry that he laughed: "Li Ban practiced evil skills, attracted evil beasts from the demon world, and died in Huanyi Mountain. What does it have to do with me?"
Another disciple beside Li Xiu also stood up and glared at Chu Danfeng: "It's because you made a bet with him, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to Huanyi Mountain at all!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Li had no intention of accepting the mission that day."
"Most of our disciples at Zhenyu Peak are kind-hearted. You are just trying to provoke him. No matter what, you are responsible for Li Ban's death."
"Everyone knows that you and Li Ban have conflicts. At the beginning, you didn't cultivate well enough, your realm was not stable, and your golden elixir was broken, but you blamed him. How much injustice has Li Ban suffered over the years?"
"That's right, Chu Danfeng, you despicable villain!"
"… "
More and more disciples from Zhenyu Peak stood up to denounce Chu Danfeng. Zhenyu Peak had a large number of people, while Lixu Peak had a small population. Including Hua Tingxuan who was less than six years old, there were only four people. Fang Qingya watched silently. Only Huang Changtian defended his junior brother, but his words were of little use.
For a while, Chu Danfeng became the target of public criticism, but he remained calm.
It’s not that Chu Danfeng has a good psychological quality, but he is too familiar with this situation. In his previous life, Chu Danfeng was often slandered, but because of his personality, he couldn’t refute it, so he had to accept all the misunderstandings and bullying.
Over time, he developed the ability to do two things at once even when being targeted.
Chu Danfeng remained expressionless, but began to analyze in his heart: These people keep saying that they have deep friendship among fellow disciples, but Li Ban has been dead for so long, why haven’t they come to Lixu Peak to seek revenge before
On the contrary, today, as soon as they saw him, they all attacked him. There must be something fishy going on.
really-
"Shut up!" A young monk stood up. His white robe was whiter than snow, with fluttering belts. He carried a disciple sword on his back. He was very elegant and handsome. As soon as he appeared, several female monks blushed.
It was Liu Yanbai, the eldest disciple of Bai Cangshan, the fourth elder of Zhenyu Peak.
"I don't believe that Li Ban would fall into the devil's way, but how can this be blamed on Dan Feng?"
As soon as Liu Yanbai appeared, several people became obedient and gave enough face to this Liu's first disciple, making his appearance even more brilliant.
Liu Yanbai raised his lips slightly, walked gracefully to Chu Danfeng, and said softly: "Danfeng, don't be afraid, Senior Brother Liu is here, and he will not let you be wronged."
What a great “hero saves the beauty” scene.
Seeing this, several young disciples were whispering excitedly and looking at Chu Danfeng with envy, as if they were envious of him for being protected by Boss Liu.
Only the person involved, Chu Danfeng, didn't think so.
He felt that those Zhenyu Peak disciples were probably instructed by Liu Yanbai to slander him. But he had no evidence, and Liu Yanbai always presented himself as a fair and humble person, unlike him, who was a gloomy and taciturn loser. If Chu Danfeng raised doubts, he would be labeled as "ungrateful".
Chu Danfeng nodded slightly and said dryly, "The innocent will be innocent."
The Li Xiu who had just shouted said in dissatisfaction: "Chu Xiaowu, why are you so ungrateful? Senior Brother Liu spoke up for you, but you didn't even say 'thank you'?"
Very good, "not knowing what's good for you" may be late, but it will never be absent.
"Junior brother, is this a double act?" A small, milky voice sounded. Although the tone was soft, it was full of energy and very loud. It easily attracted the attention of the whole audience.
"Why can a child climb to the top of Wanjian Peak? Has he not started practicing Qi yet?"
"It seems to be Elder Meng's little disciple. He is probably here to see the world."
"Inner disciples are so lucky."
"What double act is he talking about?"
"I don't know, but it's quite interesting. Let's give it a listen."
Little Dumpling became the focus of everyone's attention. He was not afraid of the stage and said crisply, "They said both good and bad things. Second Senior Sister said that this is called singing a double act. Little Senior Brother, am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd began to buzz with discussion. In fact, if someone pointed it out, everyone was not stupid and would react easily. Liu Yanbai and other disciples from Zhenyu Peak blushed and turned green. The power cultivator shouted at Hua Tingxuan angrily, "Who taught you to say these nonsense?"
Before he could finish his scolding, Hua Tingxuan threw himself into his senior brother's arms, whimpering and whimpering: "How could that man bully a child? He is so fierce, Xuan'er is so scared."
No one knows a brother better than his brother. Chu Danfeng knew that the kid was pretending to cry as soon as he heard it. He almost laughed like crazy. He rubbed the little boy's head, trying his best to hold back the corners of his mouth from rising. He drew out his disciple sword and pointed it at the Li Xiu, "You Zhenyu Peak people, don't go too far! Throwing dirty water on me is fine, but why don't you let the child go?"
"That's right! We at Lixu Peak are not easy to bully!" Huang Changtian finally felt proud and drew his sword and stood behind Chu Danfeng. He was only in the middle stage of foundation building and his cultivation was not as good as Chu Danfeng, whose golden elixir had been shattered. He was also timid and did not dare to really rush forward.
But the support is still enough. His slightly plump body is quite sturdy, his posture is very impressive, and his aura looks very realistic.
Although Fang Qingya was still standing with his sword in his arms, he had stood next to several fellow disciples at some point, and his expression was very awkward.
"I believe in Brother Chu too!" A girl in goose yellow clothes jumped out from the crowd, with pearl hairpins on her head swaying with her movements. It turned out to be a familiar face. It was Tang Yingdong, who had competed with Chu Danfeng for the mission and finally went to Huanyi Mountain with Li Ban to pick the mimosa pampas grass.
Tang Yingdong smiled sweetly at Chu Danfeng, followed by several female disciples from Kunduan Peak, standing together with the fellow disciples from Lixu Peak.
Chu Danfeng nodded at her and thought: This is a case of no acquaintance without fighting. I didn’t expect that Junior Sister Tang is also a person of temperament.
Hua Tingxuan looked at Tang Yingdong warily, and stood between the two of them calmly, separating them.
As the female cultivators joined in, the two camps drew a line between Chu and Han, and the atmosphere seemed tense. Liu Yanbai laughed loudly and said, "Junior Brother Chu, you misunderstood us! Today's incident was ultimately due to my failure to discipline my junior brothers. I will never mention it again. The Wanjianfeng barrier will only be open for seven days, so don't waste time. Business is more important. Junior Brother Chu, what do you think?"
Chu Danfeng only wanted to live a peaceful retirement life and was not keen on fighting. It was enough for him to adopt an attitude of "not causing trouble, but not afraid of trouble", so he nodded: "That's right."
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the other disciples gradually dispersed. When Chu Danfeng thanked Tang Yingdong and other female practitioners, Huang Changtian took the opportunity to suggest that they go together. It was Huang Changtian who made the suggestion, but the girls all looked at Chu Danfeng at the same time and agreed generously.
Just as the group was about to pack up and set off, Liu Yanbai came back without knowing when, and said in a gentle tone: "Danfeng, can I have a word with you for a moment?"
Seeing that Chu Danfeng didn't respond, Liu Yanbai smiled, his eyes teasing: "Why, are you afraid that Senior Brother will eat you?"
"..." Chu Danfeng rubbed his forehead and said to Huang Changtian, "You go first, I'll catch up later."
However, it was easy to send others away, but the little dumpling refused to leave. He still hung on Chu Danfeng with the leg pendant, and even Liu Yanbai couldn't do anything about him.
Liu Yanbai: "Your junior brother is quite clever."
There were no outsiders here, so Chu Danfeng simply said, "What do you want?"
But Liu Yanbai, even when no one was around, acted like a modest gentleman. He sighed and said, "Danfeng, you are angry with me."
"I just... wanted to leave a good impression on you and save my image," he said with a self-deprecating smile, "but I didn't expect it to backfire again."
Chu Danfeng said impatiently: "Are you finished?"
Liu Yanbai said as if she was hurt: "Do men disgust you so much?"
The little girl who was holding Chu Danfeng's thigh also looked up suddenly, and lost control of her grip, causing Chu Danfeng to let out a soft "hiss". Hua Tingxuan quickly let go, but his fists were still clenched in his sleeves.
The big and the small both looked at Chu Danfeng holding their breath, their expressions were somewhat serious.
Chu Danfeng: "I don't hate men."
As a modern man, he is open-minded and does not discriminate against homosexuals.
However, before Liu Yanbai could be happy, Chu Danfeng continued, "I only disgust you, Liu Yanbai, you keep saying that... But, from the past to now, is there anything you have done that is not disgusting?"
This is not the attitude of liking people.
Even though Liu Yanbai used the right method and attitude, he would not accept it - Chu Danfeng still felt that he should be a straight man who liked girls with big breasts and thin waists.
After hearing this, Liu Yanbai lost his gentlemanly image for the first time. His face turned pale and his features were distorted. However, Hua Tingxuan was in a good mood and happily took Chu Danfeng's hand, "Junior Brother, let's hurry up."
Chu Danfeng had wanted to say these words since his last life, but due to the constraints of the system, he had never had the chance. Today, he finally got it out, feeling very happy. He opened his folding fan and said casually, "Let's go!"
Liu Yanbai looked at their backs and did not chase them. Instead, he chopped off a piece of rock with his sword after the two people walked away.
Chu Danfeng originally thought that the little guy would feel tired after walking for half a day at most, but he didn't expect that this little guy had amazing physical strength. Several adults were exhausted, but he was still full of energy.
Everyone tried to draw their swords as they walked, and it took three days to reach the halfway point of the mountain. The scenery here was very different from that at the foot of the mountain. It was almost entirely rugged cliffs, with rusty iron swords stuck on some strange rocks. With every step, a shimmering halo would appear under their feet, which was particularly dreamy at night.
That is the standard that Wan Jianfeng uses to determine whether to "go back". Once you retreat too much, the halo under your feet will turn red, which means a warning.
The night view of Wanjian Peak is surprisingly beautiful. It is a new moon tonight and there is no moonlight, but the inky night sky is covered with stars. The stars are hanging low, and occasionally a little cloud passes by, so close that it seems you can pick them with your hand.
The higher you go, the fewer people there are. There are several bonfires on the hillside, each surrounded by a few hopeful young people. Everyone is taking fasting pills or meditating to recuperate. Only Chu Danfeng's group has a different style.
Several boys and girls sat together, all looking at Chu Danfeng eagerly.
Chu Danfeng lived up to everyone's expectations and took out a bag of preserved fruits, a handful of fresh peaches, a plate of rouge goose breast, and even a handful of melon seeds from the mustard bag.
Because Wanjian Peak has a rule that no one is allowed to walk around after dark, eating snacks has become a regular part of their nightlife.
"I brought a lot, please feel free to ask." Chu Danfeng said.
After a few days, the young men had become familiar with each other and were no longer polite. They shared the food enthusiastically. When they heard that the rouge goose breast was braised by Chu Danfeng himself, they were full of praise. The atmosphere of the dinner was very harmonious - except for a female disciple named Yingxue and Fang Qingya.
Yingxue leaned against a big rock to rest at nightfall, and seemed to be asleep at this moment. Fang Qingya sat in the dark holding his disciple sword, as if in meditation.
"Ignore him," Huang Changtian whispered to Chu Danfeng, "He's trying to compete with you. Seeing that you haven't drawn your sword, he won't draw his either. Look at his expression. He must draw a sword better than yours. Tsk, he wants to compete in everything."
Chu Danfeng's mouth was full, and his cheeks were puffed up like a little hamster. He responded half-heartedly.
Huang Changtian continued, "Hey, I was in a tough situation too. I started to draw my swords when I got up the mountain, but nothing happened. Among our group, only Yingxue's sword glowed and loosened when she drew it. Unfortunately, it didn't work in the end, and it rusted back. It was such a pity that we were just a little bit away from it."
"She cried so sadly that time, it made my heart ache. I am a person who is naturally kind to women and cannot bear to see girls cry. But it is understandable. The next chance will have to wait ten years. Her cultivation is not high. If she does not have the help of the spirit sword, she will be old in ten years. What a pity. Yingxue is still pretty, but I think Yingdong is prettier. What do you think?"
Chu Danfeng took a bite of peach flesh and said vaguely: "I told you to keep your voice down, don't wake up Xuan'er."
At this time, the little girl was resting her head on Chu Danfeng's lap, sleeping soundly. Children are in the growing period and are prone to fall asleep easily.
"I think he's sleeping soundly, I can't wake him up," but Huang Changtian still lowered his voice, poked Chu Danfeng with his elbow in a lewd way, and asked with a beaming face, "You're a good trick of bringing snacks, look how happy you made the sisters, I thought you were a novice, but I didn't expect you to be so skilled!"
Chu Danfeng was inexplicably praised and looked at Huang Changtian in confusion, "Ah?"
The firelight made Chu Danfeng's facial features look softer. His eyelashes were as thick as raven feathers, casting shadows on his slender and straight nose. His skin was as delicate as white porcelain, like a young girl. He looked even more handsome than Tang Yingdong, the most beautiful female cultivator here.
Huang Changtian was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the female cultivators started to get in a commotion. A moment later, Tang Yingdong ran over, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Huang, Yingxue is missing!"
This sudden change woke Huang Changtian up from his dream, and he cursed himself for being so lustful - that was his junior brother, not his junior sister! - He stood up suddenly, "What's going on?"
Tang Yingdong wiped her tears and said, "She, she must have gone back to retrieve the magic sword. Yingxue told me that the sword is not far from here, so it shouldn't be considered a return trip. I didn't see her just now, so I went to look for her, but I only found this on the edge of the cliff."
She took out a purse and said, "This is Yingxue's sachet. Before she left, Master told her not to wander around at night. Wanjian Peak is very dangerous at night. I hope she is not in any danger."
Chu Danfeng patted the little boy on his thigh, handed Hua Tingxuan to Tang Yingdong, and comforted him in a not very convincing way: "Junior Sister Tang, don't worry too much. Even if things don't work out, there is still the mountain protection formation to protect the disciples. You keep an eye on Xuan'er for me, and I will go look for him."
Little Dumpling had already woken up, "I'll go too!"
This time, Chu Danfeng didn't let the child follow his temper. He pushed the kid over and was about to leave with his sword in hand.
"Wait!" Huang Changtian took a deep breath and mustered up his courage and said, "I'll go too."
Chu Danfeng nodded: "Okay."
Just as the two were about to set off, a figure followed them.
Huang Changtian was startled: "Old Four, why are you walking without making any sound?"
Fang Qingya seemed very reluctant to be with Chu Danfeng, and said with a sullen face: "Stop talking nonsense and go."
After saying that, he pushed the two men away with his shoulder and took the lead in taking big strides forward. Chu Danfeng rubbed his shoulder that was hurt by the collision, but he couldn't help but smile slightly, and followed with his sword in hand.
After being reborn, in addition to being able to be himself freely, he seemed to have seen some interesting changes. Even his mortal enemy Fang Qingya was not so annoying anymore, and little Tuanzi was so cute and filial. Chu Danfeng suddenly felt that this was life.
It turns out that a life that is truly managed with care is so... interesting.
Wherever the three brothers went, circles of faint light appeared under their feet. Although they were walking on solid rocks, it was as if they were walking on the surface of a lake. The closer they were to the magic sword, the darker the light under their feet became.
Several people called out Yingxue's name, but there was no response at all. As they walked forward, the halo under their feet turned into a deep red. Chu Danfeng could feel the strong repulsive force in it, which was warning them that if they walked back, they would automatically give up their qualifications.
Huang Changtian: "I can hardly lift my legs. I can't move forward anymore."
Fang Qingya: "Maybe he really fell off the cliff."
His guess was not without reason. Everyone fell silent. Huang Changtian suddenly said, "Look, what is that? It looks like a piece of clothing! Is it... a disciple's uniform? Yingxue is wearing a disciple's uniform!"
But the distance is too far, and if you walk over there you will definitely be considered as giving up your qualifications.
Fang Qingya: "It may not be hers—"
Before he finished speaking, a cry for help tore through the night sky, "Is there anyone here? Help!!!"
It was Yingxue's voice, but the voice stopped abruptly. When they shouted back, there was no response. They didn't know what happened in that second, but they could guess that she should be in danger, maybe a life-and-death situation. Chu Danfeng didn't hesitate, he raised his leg and forced himself to move forward.
His feet seemed to be stuck in the mud, going deeper and deeper, and it became more and more strenuous. When Chu Danfeng felt that he could hardly lift his legs, the resistance suddenly disappeared, and the halo under his feet disappeared.
He must have been judged by Wan Jianfeng as having 'given up the qualification to draw the sword'.
When he got closer, he finally saw clearly that the corner of the clothes was hanging on a sharp piece of stone marrow. Next to the long stone marrow was a bottomless black hole that could only accommodate one person.
The cry for help should have come from here. Chu Danfeng found a tinderbox from the mustard bag. The firelight reflected the entrance of the cave, which was bottomless.
"Xiao Wu! How is it?" Huang Changtian hesitated in the same place, but he didn't dare to take a step beyond the limit. He just shouted at the top of his voice: "If it doesn't work, come back!"
Chu Danfeng thought he could find the injured Yingxue by walking over, but he never expected that there would be a cave. This cave looked very strange. He had also heard that Wan Jianfeng was extremely dangerous at night, but the person was inside, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.
Just as he was struggling, suddenly a huge suction force sucked him in!
"Xiao Wu!" Huang Changtian yelled, and turned around twice, still not daring to move forward. At this moment, a small figure came running over. Hua Tingxuan walked very fast, and his feet created circles of red ripples. There was no sense of stagnation like Chu Danfeng just now. Huang Changtian was about to be amazed when he saw his junior brother... also fell into the black hole!!!
"Ahhh, what should I do!!! How did that brat escape? Two of my fellow apprentice brothers are gone in an instant. How can I explain this to Master?" Huang Changtian was so anxious that he kept pulling his hair.
Fang Qingya tightly grasped the disciple sword, as if he was struggling with himself: "..."
Huang Changtian was like an ant on a hot pot, turning around and around for an unknown amount of time before he finally made his decision, "I'll go!"
Fang Qingya: "You...?"
"Well, me! I've tried so many times, but I just can't pull out the magic sword." Huang Changtian's way back was much more difficult than Chu Danfeng's. It took him almost half an incense stick of time to walk just a few steps. When the red ripples disappeared, he was already sweating profusely.
Huang Changtian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately… He grasped a sword and said to Fang Qingya, “If I go back and draw my sword, I will be ejected by the mountain protection formation. Fourth Junior Brother, go back and tell them that Senior Brother Huang has gone to ask the Master for help! Don’t worry!”
After he said that, he grasped the rusty hilt of the sword with both hands and pulled it hard. Suddenly, a bright light appeared, and when he looked again, the man had disappeared.
Fang Qingya pursed his lips as he looked at the rusty sword that still had a trace of spiritual energy flowing through it. Then he turned around and went back to report the news to Tang Yingdong and the others.
Chu Danfeng climbed up with a grin on his face, feeling like his butt was about to break.
Who would have thought that the black hole would automatically suck people in!
It was pitch black here, not even a glimmer of starlight could be seen, and there were creepy "hissing" sounds all around. It was surprisingly familiar, but Chu Danfeng couldn't remember what it was for a moment.
At this moment, an old voice sounded directly in his mind: "If you want to obtain this treasure, you must pass the Heart Demon Realm."
"What inner demon—?" Before he could finish his words, Chu Danfeng's legs went limp and he fell into darkness.
Chu Danfeng did not fall to the ground again. A figure flashed by, and a pair of small hands held up his head in time and slowly put him down. Then, the old voice also sounded in Hua Tingxuan's head: "If you want to get this treasure, you need to pass the Heart Demon Realm."
"Wait." Hua Tingxuan forcibly resisted the invasion of the voice into his sea of consciousness.
The voice asked in confusion, "Who are you? Your spiritual consciousness is at least at the level of a great power in the world, but your physical body... is only at the Qi training stage?"
Hua Tingxuan did not answer his question, but only said: "I don't want your treasure, I just want to help him get the treasure."
The voice laughed loudly: "Are you willing to make wedding clothes for others? Do you know that the backlash of the inner demon realm on you will be multiplied several times, and..."
"Stop talking nonsense and start before he gets too deep!"
The voice: "But this is against the rules."
Hua Tingxuan suddenly released a powerful pressure, and his voice was silenced. Hua Tingxuan sneered: "If you don't cooperate, I will smash your golden body, Ghost Yue Lao."
"!!!" The voice was silent for a moment, "Okay, but I want to remind you that what you are about to enter is a knot in his heart that he cannot untie. If you sink into it, even you will be reduced to ashes and become the nourishment that supplies spiritual energy to Wanjian Mountain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Tingxuan felt himself falling into heavy memories. This was different from dreams. Dreams could be fabricated, could be different from reality, and could even be controlled by others to present the scene the controller wanted.
And this demonic realm is full of genuine memories.
Hua Tingxuan believed that he was gifted and had practiced hard for a hundred years, so he had extraordinary concentration. He could keep his mind steady in any situation and successfully passed the test of the inner demon realm. However, he never expected that as soon as he came in, he saw Chu Danfeng tied up tightly with immortal ropes, leaning listlessly on a soft pillow.
A beam of light shone in from the narrow window, casting a faint glow on the strands of hair on his forehead. He was so fair and handsome that he looked like a banished immortal, but his expression was one of pain - anyone who was tied up like this would not have a comfortable expression either.
