The Path of the Sage

Chapter 278: Niu Shan Zhi Zhong (Three Updates)

Views:

Then I saw a huge mountain rising into the sky from above the fifth corridor. It was clearly flying upwards, but its speed was comparable to that of a meteor. Due to the friction with the thin air nearby, it actually formed flames, like a volcano rushing straight into the sky.

A large number of things from the Fifth Corridor were brought out of the Comet Corridor by the mountain. There were not only rocks, but Fang Yun also found some monsters and some shiny ice blocks, some of which contained body parts and some contained entire bodies.

"Ah? The entire Fifth Corridor is gone. What will happen to the Comet Corridor in the future?"

"It should be repaired. After all, it was made by the Demon Ancestor."

The stone lion suddenly cursed, "Repair your ass! Unless the demon ancestor comes in person, no demon can repair it. From now on, go directly to the sixth corridor after the fourth corridor. You unlucky bunch, others will be faster than you in the future!"

Everyone was speechless; it was obvious that the stone lion was taking out its anger on them.

Another stone lion appeared in the sky, flying towards the living monsters, grabbing them and throwing them towards the safe square where Fang Yun was.

"Oh, they are so lucky."

"Lucky bullshit, we only see the living, can't we see the dead? The Demon Ancestor will definitely be unhappy when he comes back! Judge for yourself, can you blame us two? Look at Fu Yue, he is carrying a mountain and running faster than a rabbit, what can we do? The Comet Corridor opened two years early, maybe it's that old bastard Fu Yue who is causing trouble, first there was the Wenqu Five Movements, then there was the Wenqu Star Shining, they may all be related to him!"

"Wait!" Kong Delun was stunned, and everyone was stunned too.

Only the big rabbit looked at the stone lion in confusion.

"What are you waiting for?" the stone lion said angrily with its eyes wide open, but its eyes were also made of stone, without any light, and not scary at all.

"Senior Lion, we all know about the Five Movements of Wenqu, but there was no Wenqu Star after that. If there was, we would not have been unaware of it. That would have been a major event that shocked both worlds."

Everyone looked at the stone lion. Fang Yun was still trying hard to pretend that he didn't know. He was a little nervous. What if the monsters knew that Wenquxing was shining on him? The Monster Saint would probably come to the Monster Ancestor's gate to kill him. It was too magical for a scholar to get the light of Wenquxing. The monsters would not let him live even if they tried their best.

"Oh, I forgot. You were in the Holy Ruins at that time. It was daytime. If you don't have enough power, you can't see the Wenqu Star shining. Just a few days ago, the Wenqu Star suddenly shone somewhere. I don't know which genius was so lucky."

"The star of literature shines on a certain place? The saints cannot possibly not know this." said Kong De.

"How far do you think it is from Shengyuan Continent to Wenquxing? How many places do you know that can be illuminated by Wenquxing?" asked the stone lion.

Kong Delun was speechless, then said: "Indeed, I thought it was simple. Indeed, my elders said that Wenquxing is different from other stars. Confucius can travel through the myriad worlds, but he can't find Wenquxing."

"It's good to know. Let alone Wenquxing, except for Confucius and the sub-saints, can the semi-saints of your race know the distance and range of every starlight? Can they know every ancient land?"

"This... is what the senior taught me." Kong Delun had to admit that the power of this world was great. After all, a semi-saint was limited and could not compare to a sub-saint or even a Confucian saint.

"If it's the human race it would be better. If it's not the human race, there will be a big chaos between the two worlds. Haha." The stone lion said gloatingly.

Fang Yun interrupted, "That mountain is about to fly away, aren't you going to stop it?"

The stone lion said helplessly: "The Demon Ancestor has ordered that no matter what method he uses to escape from the Comet Corridor, we must not stop him. I thought he had accumulated a lot of experience and would be canonized as a saint as soon as he got out of the Comet Corridor. I didn't expect that I overestimated him. Look, his energy and blood are greatly depleted. He looks half dead. I'm afraid he was tormented by the power of the Demon Ancestor!" said the stone lion.

Fang Yun remained silent and could only hope in his heart that Fu Yue would not fall back halfway through his flight.

At this time, an ape demon with a tuft of white hair on its head fell from the sky, shouting for help. The stone lion hurriedly opened its mouth and blew air, allowing the ape demon to land safely.

Many of the scholars present knew this white-haired ape demon general. It was he who suggested distributing the mist butterflies according to merit when they were in front of the bronze gate.

"Thank you, Lord Lion, for saving my life." The white-haired ape demon saluted with a smile.

"You are lucky, little monkey." The stone lion said, looking at Fang Yun, "Fortunately, only the fifth corridor has problems. If the Star Throne or even the entire Comet Corridor has problems, I will be in big trouble. What are you looking at? Go to the sixth corridor quickly. Long Ling has been waiting at the door for a while and has left long ago. If I am right, you will meet in the seventh corridor. However, you humans cannot survive in the seventh corridor. I won't say anything more. See you in the next square."

Fang Yun bowed to everyone and said, "Longling is no longer at the entrance of the Sixth Corridor, and the Sixth Corridor is too dangerous. If you don't want to go to the next square, stay here."

Li Fanming suddenly smiled and said, "Long Ling is not at the door, but he is still in the sixth corridor. What if you meet him? What's more, this matter is not just Long Ling's business. The Wolf Barbarian Saint has been instigating other demon barbarians to target you. When you reach the sixth corridor, you may not face Long Ling, but a team of demon barbarians! How can we watch you get killed by them?"

The stone lion raised its head and kept catching the falling monsters. It said, "To be honest, if you little scholars go to the sixth corridor, except for a few, you will definitely die. But it doesn't matter. Your ice stones are all there. You can come back after you go. When you get there, you will find that the cold is nothing. As for the seventh floor, hehe, forget it."

Several scholars hesitated, and one of them said, "Fang Yun, if Long Ling is outside now, we will definitely help you, but the Sixth Corridor is too dangerous. If we go there, we may die before we even meet Long Ling."

Fang Yun said: "That's why I told you not to rush into the Sixth Corridor for me. Not to mention you, even the Saint Clan monsters have a hard time passing the Sixth Corridor. Those who can pass the Sixth Corridor are all the top geniuses of the Monster Clan."

"Thank you Brother Fang for your understanding, but let's go through this fog gate first and see the Sixth Corridor. If Long Ling suddenly comes, we can help you. But if Long Ling doesn't come and the Sixth Corridor is too dangerous, we will return." said a scholar.

All the candidates nodded in unison. No one was afraid to fight against the barbarian tribe's top genius. Some people like Sun Naiyong were even full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to fight Long Ling to the death.

"Let's go!" Fang Yun said, and was about to take a step, but the dog Xi that followed him from the Holy Ruins suddenly barked twice in a low voice.

Fang Yun stopped and looked at the dog demon general.

"Yue... Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, please forgive me. I am just an ordinary dog demon general, not as talented as Niu Shan. It is my honor to follow you, but in the fight with the Barbarian Saint, I can only die. So please forgive me, Your Majesty the Moon Emperor." Quan Xi said and bowed his head deeply.

Fang Yun smiled carefree and said, "You are willing to come here with me, which is already the most you can do. Thank you. You can stay here without feeling guilty." After that, he strode into the fog gate and entered the entrance of the sixth corridor.

Fang Yun was about to take a closer look at the sixth corridor when he heard Quan Xi's scream behind him: "Master Lion, help me!"

Fang Yun looked back and saw Niu Shan coming out of the fog gate holding Quan Xi, and then suddenly threw Quan Xi to the ground. Before Quan Xi could stand up, Niu Shan rushed over and snatched the ice stone from Quan Xi.

“How could you do this! I…” Quan Xi looked at Niu Shan, whose eyes were as loud as copper bells, and swallowed the rest of his words.

The other scholars came out one after another and looked at the barbarian couple with a smile.

Niu Shan said: "Stop talking nonsense! Since you have gained benefits from the Comet Corridor, you must remember to repay the Moon Emperor! Humph, you want to leave after taking all the benefits? Don't even think about it! No matter how powerful we are, we can't be like the Blood Demon Barbarians! What's more, he is His Majesty the Moon Emperor, even if we have to die for him, it is what we should do!"

Quan Xi remained silent.

Niu Shan looked at Quan Xi and continued, "If you are really scared, you can stand behind me. I promise that you will die after me! But, you have to make sure that His Majesty the Moon Emperor dies after you!"

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that a barbarian like a bull could be so loyal. Many of the people present felt embarrassed.

"Niu Shan." Fang Yun looked at Niu Shan, his heart filled with warmth.

"Your Majesty, please don't try to persuade me. Quan Xi, just speak!"

"Well, I will follow His Majesty the Moon Emperor." The dog demon lowered his head, and his yellow fur became increasingly darker.

"That's good! If you don't come, I won't force you to come, but since you are here and have benefited from the help of His Majesty, you must do your best to repay His Majesty! Don't worry, as long as you are loyal to His Majesty, you will definitely be able to leave the Comet Corridor alive, become a genius that surpasses the Saint Clan's demons, and eventually become the Demon King!"

Quan Xi continued to remain silent.

Everyone really didn't know how to describe this barbarian, they just envied Fang Yun for having such a good private soldier.

Fang Yun nodded and turned to observe the sixth corridor.

After just one look, Fang Yun had to admit that the stone lions were right. Most of the candidates present could not pass through the sixth corridor.

The place is covered with light green mist.

Fang Yun said: "Brother Yuqing, what kind of poisonous fog is this?"

"It is a poisonous fog from the demon world. A great doctor named it 'Skin Eater.' It has a terrifying corrosive effect on demons and barbarians. Once it gets on the skin, the poison will quickly corrode a big hole, just like being bitten by a wild beast. It is extremely terrifying."

Many people felt their hair stand on end when they heard this, and just thinking about that scene gave them goose bumps.

"Is there any way to avoid it?" Fang Yun asked.

Hua Yuqing replied: "You can only avoid it by using your Qi and blood, the power of your literary courage, poems about defense and medical books about avoiding poison, or by wrapping your whole body with the skin of a special animal. However, if the latter is damaged, you will surely die." (To be continued...)
