Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 354: Roadblock

Views:

Su Li, who is at the initial stage of Soul Wandering Realm, is a disciple of the Great Elder Jiang Ran.

He is much older than everyone else and his realm is also much higher than everyone else. He is one of the most outstanding inner disciples in the Sword Tower.

Qi Qingsong, who has become famous recently, suffered repeated defeats when facing him in the past.

He also did not take the children of the four elders, such as Zhuang Yuyan, Duan Jing and Zeng Yulan, seriously.

In Su Li's heart, the person he had been secretly comparing himself with was actually Li Zhaotian's second disciple Hu Yuanfei.

At this moment, he stood in front of the door, looking at the group of inner disciples who were either familiar or unfamiliar, and mocked: "Have they all become mute?"

Qi Qingsong's face was gloomy as he thought about how to start the conversation.

The others didn't dare to look at him directly and just lowered their heads in silence.

Pang Jian was stunned for a moment. He didn't even understand Su Li's identity, so he had to remain silent.

"Brother Su, we are here for Brother Pang to talk about the elders in the sect."

Zhuang Yuyan stood up and said calmly, "Pang Jian has just arrived and hasn't figured things out yet. We're worried that he might not recognize your master when he sees him in the future, so we gave him a few words of advice."

"Meet Senior Brother Su."

"Brother Su, don't blame me!"

"We dare not offend the Great Elder!"

After Zhuang Yuyan spoke, the others felt more relaxed and began to express their opinions.

"Shh! Shhh!"

Duan Jing and the others also used spiritual skills to remove the smell of alcohol from their bodies and quickly regained their consciousness.

"Pang Jian..."

Su Li was startled.

It seemed that only after being reminded did he notice Pang Jian, who was not wearing the blue robe of the Sword Tower.

"Brother Su, that's him. He just arrived today and took out the Origin Demon Sword from the Sword Tower."

The people behind Su Li whispered a reminder.

"The Origin Demon Sword is not from our Sword Tower. With the merits you gained in the Forbidden Land of Absolute Heaven, you actually chose an ominous item from the Demon Sword Sect." Su Li's eyes were sharp, like two sharp swords stabbing at Pang Jian's face, and he said sternly: "If this sword is not controlled well, another evil demon will be born, which will bring infamy to the Sword Tower."

Pang Jian said indifferently: "I can control it."

"What a big tone! Even Mo Nan from the Demon Sword Sect failed to successfully subdue this sword. Why do you think you can?" Su Li sneered.

Pang Jian also stood up, but faced with his unfriendly question, he shook his head and did not answer.

Immediately, he sat down.

He hadn't yet cleared the alcohol from his body, his stern face was still flushed, and he filled himself another glass of wine.

Immediately, he lowered his head and drank silently, ignoring the young disciple of the great elder Jiang Ran.

"As the master's personal disciple, he is indeed a bit arrogant. On the first day of entering the Sword Tower, he put his identity in the right place." Su Li looked at him deeply and said, "There is a long time to come, and we will get to know each other slowly."

He turned and left.

A group of inner and outer disciples from the Sword Tower who had followed him looked at Pang Jian in surprise and then left.

After the door is closed.

Qi Qingsong, without saying a word, held up a triangular banner and injected spiritual power into it to block out the sound waves.

Only then did he frown and said, "Senior Sister Zhuang, have you noticed that many outer disciples from aristocratic families have been following him recently."

"Um."

Zhuang Yuyan nodded slightly.

"After we came back, a rumor was circulating in the sect. I wonder if you have heard of it."

Qi Qingsong's eyes swept over the people in the room and said, "It is said that the owner of the building has chosen Pang Jian and wants him to be the head of the Sword Building in the future. And he, because of the serious situation in Purgatory, will attack the True God in a short time."

"If it's done, the Sword Tower will hopefully return to the ranks of the major sects in the First Realm."

"If you fail..."

Qi Qingsong took a deep breath and said, "With the swordsmanship that the host pursues and his violent temper, he will surely perish on the spot if he fails! He never gives others or himself a second chance!"

"If he fails in his attempt to become a True God, the Sword Tower will probably have to change its structure again. The position of Tower Master... maybe the Great Elder will come back to take over."

The small group in the room, each of whom had their own master, the four elders, all felt heavy-hearted when they heard this.

"I heard this statement. It seems that someone spread it deliberately to force the OP to become a god as soon as possible." Song Zihe said in a low voice.

"It's not that easy to attack the True God. Out of ten promoted people, seven or eight failed, and only two or three succeeded." Zhuang Yuyan smiled bitterly and said, "On the Demon Sect side, three peak Immortal Realm people failed and died when they attacked the True God."

"The host has no other choice." Qi Qingsong sighed.

"Well, Purgatory is open, and there are gods from other regions descending in their complete form. In the fifth realm, there is a being with a bloodline of level ten. It is said that there is one on each continent." Zhuang Yuyan interrupted, worriedly saying, "Seven strong men with bloodlines of level ten are seven true gods, plus... Luo Hongyan."

"The pressure is huge at the top."

"Our Sword Tower has always been famous for its fierce fighting power. As long as the owner of the tower successfully ascends to the True God, he will immediately become the most powerful and supreme fighting force on the human side."

"His deification can change the entire situation. Even if he doesn't go for the deification, the higher-ups will force him to do it."

"… "

Several people were discussing at once.

Pang Jian, who was Li Zhaotian's last disciple, couldn't help but think of that domineering and arrogant figure. He didn't expect that Li Zhaotian was under such great pressure.

What he didn't expect was that Li Zhaotian was so optimistic about him and intended to let him take charge of Dingjian Tower in the future.

"Okay, let's stop talking."

"What a spoilsport! He ruined our mood."

Until only Pang Jian and Qi Qingsong were left in the private room.

Qi Qingsong, who was drunk again, suddenly said in a cold voice: "I almost died in Su Li's hands!"

Pang Jian was shocked.

"Before participating in the trial of Bagua City, the Sword Tower organized a trip to a forbidden area to hunt ferocious beasts. It was in the vicinity of the Holy Spirit Continent, a piece of broken land called Origin, and Su Li was one of the conveners."

"That piece of earth-shattering beast has no intelligence and is of a lower level. It is only used to hone the fighting skills of the disciples within the sect."

"At that time, I was no longer an inner disciple."

"As the convener, Su Li assigned an area to my team. We are all in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, but we encountered several Level 4 beasts."

"Everyone on that team died except me."

Qi Qingsong showed a lingering fear and said, "I was able to survive because even though I became an outer disciple, my master still gave me something to save my life. Afterwards, I learned from an outer disciple who obeyed Su Li that he had long known about the ferocious beasts in that area, and we simply could not handle them."

"Pang Jian, remember that the internal fighting in the sect is more terrifying than the fierce beasts. If you are not careful, you will be harmed by your own people."

"Then Su Li, his senior brother Zhou Wenhao, and their master Jiang Ran will be a long-term obstacle for you in the Sword Tower."

Pang Jian nodded slightly.

The next day, early morning.

Pang Jian arrived at Mojian Peak early in the morning. Looking at the gray stone palaces named Library, Instrument Building, and Alchemy Building, he went straight to the Library.

In front of the library.

"I'm looking for the latter part of the Great Fortune Saint Body's Spirit Division Technique, as well as the Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Technique, and the cultivation manual after the Condensation Realm."

Pang Jian showed his sword and made his purpose clear.

"Let me check it out!"

Pan Zheng, who was sitting in front of the gate tower, obviously recognized Pang Jian's identity. He immediately got busy, using the sword in his hand to search the various floors of the library.

After a while, Pan Zheng looked strange and said, "The latter part of these two spiritual skills only requires 90 merit points to read for a day."

"My merit points are not enough?" Pang Jian asked curiously.

"Enough. Your merit points are more than enough, but... it's unfortunate."

Pan Zheng was helpless. "The latter part of the two spiritual skills was taken away by the same person for comprehension on the day you arrived at the Sword Tower. To be exact, two hours before you arrived at the Sword Tower."

“Although the spiritual manuals cannot be left outside the library, most people can memorize them all in a few hours.”

"But he hasn't come out yet."

Pan Zhenghao spoke kindly, "Well, you go back and wait for news. If he comes out, I will send someone to tell you as soon as possible."

"Can you tell me his name?" Pang Jian asked.

"Bai Chuan is also an inner sect disciple, and his teacher is Lu Xiaolin." Pan Zhengdao said.

"knew."

Pang Jian turned and left, holding the sword and communicating with Qi Qingsong, explaining the situation.

"Lu Xiaolin is an elder without real power. He is on the side of the great elder Jiang Ran. Bai Chuan is Su Li's lackey. He knew you were coming and what you needed!" Qi Qingsong cursed, "Those two books of magic formulas were not taken seriously before, and the merit points required were not much. I knew he would block your way!"

Pang Jian was in a gloomy mood.

In the next few days, Pan Zheng didn't send anyone over, so he couldn't help but go to the bookstore for consultation again.

The answer was still the same.

Because Baichuan did not come out of the library, he was unable to get the two spiritual cultivation manuals that Pang Jian urgently needed.

Piaomiao Peak.

In a cave inside a mountain.

Pan Zheng, who also came from this peak, reported his work with a gloomy face: "Bai Chuan said that when he was comprehending the Hutian Yangqi Jue, his mind was corroded by evil spirits, which led to him going astray and destroying the Hutian Yangqi Jue and the lower part of the Great Creation Saint Body into ashes."

Guang He, dressed as a scholar and serious, shouted, "Possessed by the devil?"

"Um."

Pan Zheng smiled bitterly.

His master and Master Guanghe were both from the Piaomiao Peak lineage. They had been close since childhood and did not hide anything. They said, "Those two books are exactly what Pang Jian came to the Sword Tower to seek."

Guanghe asked: "When did Baichuan ask for the classics?"

"Just before Pang Jian entered the Sword Tower."

After the question and answer, Guanghe said in a cold voice: "Baichuan is Su Li's man. All matters of Mojian Peak were previously handled by the Great Elder. The two destroyed books were just rubbings, and the originals are still in the hands of the Great Elder."

"He claimed that he had been traveling abroad for a long time and was not under our control. It would be difficult for him to obtain the two scriptures."

Guang He snorted: "It's clearly targeting Pang Jian."

"Let's put aside the two books. Baichuan's statement is that Pang Jian couldn't control the Origin Demon Sword, which caused the Origin Demon to cause trouble in secret." Pan Zheng sighed, "This is the real trouble."

Guanghe was shocked.

"Later, something will happen to Pang Jian." Pan Zheng rubbed his dry eyes and said, "Just wait and see."
