Chapter Fifty-Fifth Zhang Efeng, Refining the Truth

The next day, under Gaoyang Peak.

"All--"

A strange long cry came from the sky, and then a black shadow blocked the sky, causing the people living below to raise their heads.

The body of the giant black beast is like a giant rat, with a long tail and outstretched limbs. Its fur is dark red mixed with brown, and the bottom is white with gray.

Soon, the monster turned sharply from the air, like a giant ship turning around, bringing up a large swath of airflow and whirring sound, and then swooped down.

And just when it was about to open its mouth to devour it, a loud roar came from the mountain peak, and three strong men with their upper body naked charged straight down with knives and axes in their hands, and landed on the back of the giant rat with a blow, making the sound of bones breaking.

These few people jointly besieged and took down the monster in a few minutes, and then attracted a burst of applause from the surrounding pedestrians.

In a tea booth on the side of the street, Lorraine Hill looked at the battle scene through the veil, thoughtfully.

The disciples who fought against the monster just now are all true disciples of Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountain, and none of them are below the seventh rank. Naturally, they can easily defeat this monster after joining forces.

But what made her curious was that this monster did not wander nearby, but suddenly emerged from the clouds and mist of the mountain peak, as if it was the first time it came to the world, and it drooled when it saw the pedestrians below.

However, today is also the time to visit Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains, so just ask directly then.

After paying for the tea, she stood up and walked to the side street.

He casually glanced at various small stalls on the street. There are many monster-related materials sold here, such as bones, animal teeth, furs, and some special herbs. The prices are much cheaper than outsiders.

It's a pity that I have passed the period of making money as the eldest lady of the chamber of commerce. Otherwise, buying goods here and selling them later is still a very good business.

Lorraine Hill passed through the lively market and walked towards the end of the central square. There was a wide step leading to the main peak. On both sides of the step, there were stone pillars of different heights, engraved with patterns of various monsters, and the shapes were strange and amazing.

Not long after Lorraine Hill stepped onto the stairs, two disciples stopped her.

"Miss, in front of me is my Tiger Roaring Nine Barrens Mountain station. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter unless you have an invitation card." The two spoke concisely, and they were still wearing animal skin light armor with excellent protective effect.

"I know, just wait a moment." Lorraine Hill took out a greeting card sprinkled with gold paper from his arms, with gilded toon trees and scorching sun printed on it, and a few small words "Scorching sun and feathers" beside it.

The two looked at the greeting post and exchanged views with each other.

"I didn't expect to be a distinguished guest from the Xiangyu faction, please come with me." After speaking, one of them led the way for Lorraine Hill and walked up the stairs.

This section of winding stairs is extremely long, and every other section is guarded by the disciples of Nine Desolation Mountain. They carry weapons and swords, and also monitor the forest and fields below from the mountain peak. If they find monsters haunting them, they will jump down and fight with them.

Along the way, Lorraine Hill encountered such situations several times.

After turning several turns, the two finally came to the square and the faction's residence in the middle of the mountain. There are many buildings surrounding the square, and there are disciples in the center of the square listening to the seniors in the center giving lectures.

I saw the teacher in the center holding a double snake spear in his hand, moving around in the square, pieces of clothes flying, when the tip of the spear stabbed suddenly, more than a dozen gorgeous silver flowers burst out, sharp and dangerous.

"drink--"

After a demonstration, he stood still again, and then answered some questions from the same door below, such as the technique of exerting force, and the strategy against the enemy.

Although the distance is far, Lorraine Hill can hear it very clearly, which can be said to be very practical knowledge.

Tiger Roaring Nine Barrens Mountain is much better than the Xiangyu School in terms of combat skills. If the girl feels it, it is not too much of a surprise, after all, the Xiangyu School's specialty is not in this.

If the disciples of the Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains were born for fighting, then the Xiangyu School is more focused on technology, astronomy and geography, creation and refining medicine, astrology calculations, knowledge and insight, etc. The disciples of the school do not spend a lot of time practicing fighting, but on other tasks.

"Uncle Gao, this young lady is from the Xiangyu faction and wants to visit our faction."

After leading Lorraine Hill to this square, the outer disciple went to an inner disciple from Jiuhuangshan to report the matter.

"Oh, are you a guest sent by Xiang Yu? I'm sorry to welcome you." This Uncle Gao is about forty years old and has a goatee. He looks kind and modest, but his figure is straight.

As he said that, he unsealed the invitation card, pulled out the paper, and carefully read the words.

Although Lorraine Hill is currently the head of the Xiangyu faction, she did not deliberately mark it in the letter, but only stated that she is the core of the Xiangyu faction. Such an identity is often the top of the faction, comparable to the elders in the mortal gang.

"Senior Sister, please come in for a moment, and I will notify the elders in the sect immediately." After reading the letter, this Uncle Gao, who didn't care at all, immediately became respectful, and then hurriedly asked the disciples on the side to notify.

Immediately, he led Lorraine Hill to sit down in the main hall and hall on one side of the square, and then asked the juniors around him to bring tea.

"In the mountains and wild places, the hospitality is not good, please don't blame the senior sister."

"No." Lorraine Hill shook her head. Although this Uncle Gao was a bit tactful and sophisticated, she also understood that this kind of reception work generally needs to be like this.

Seeing that the young girl had that kind of quiet personality, this 'Uncle Gao' stopped talking, but sat on the side with a little anxiety, waiting quietly, judging by her cautious appearance, she seemed to be waiting for Lorraine Hill's inquiry at any time.

After a few minutes like this, a tall, black-skinned and fierce man walked down from the mountain peak. He was in a hurry, and there was a group of true disciples who roared in the Nine Barren Mountains behind him. Those who didn't know it might think that this was going to fight somewhere.

He walked all the way to the outside of the great hall, and then his footsteps suddenly slowed down, and then he stepped into the hall unhurriedly, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at the delicate girl sitting on the chair.

Seeing the girl's weak and green appearance, the strong man unconsciously frowned, as if he was a little unhappy, but when he looked carefully, he felt that the girl's aura was like an abyss, and he couldn't see through it, so he suppressed his doubts and walked forward.

"I'm Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains, chief of Zhang'e Peak, practicing truth. I don't know the name of this fellow of the Scorching Sun and Feather Sect." His aura was faintly emanating, like a lion shaking his mane, with a touch of coercion overflowing.

Seeing his serious and heroic appearance, Lorraine Hill tilted his head slightly, wanting to laugh, but he still held back.

"It turns out that it's Senior Brother Lianzhen. My name is Luo Lan. I'm calling today, so I'm bothering you."

"Lorraine..." He thought about the name carefully.

Although Lorraine Hill is very famous in the southwestern continents, most people don't call her by her first name. They often use names such as the Gorgon Priestess, the Head of the Xiangyu School, or the Xiangyu Feifeng, so that her real name is accidentally forgotten by many people.

Seeing that he didn't think of it for a while, Lorraine Hill didn't want to point it out deliberately, she shook her head slightly, and interrupted the other party's memory first.

"Brother Lianzhen, you don't need to be too polite. I'm here just for personal matters and has nothing to do with Xiangyu Sect."

"I see." He nodded and said yes, it seemed that he really didn't remember the meaning of the girl's real name.

"I also invite Junior Sister Luo to climb the mountain with me." Then he made a gesture of invitation.

Then Lorraine Hill walked side by side with the tall Lianzhen Senior Brother, talking all the way up to the top of the mountain.

Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains does not mean that there are nine mountains here, but that there are many. There are many strange and steep peaks, which are inserted into the ground like swords. Among them, under the five most dense peaks, many people gather. This is the origin of the faction.

The Scorching Sun Xiangyu sect is divided into three lines of inheritance. Back then, Shangxian Qingyu meant Jin Hua, Luo Lan, and Gu Lie, each in charge of one line, while the Nine Barren Mountains were divided into five peaks.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Lianzhen sat in the spacious and majestic hall and chatted with Lorraine Hill. There were also a lot of food on the table, some were fruits, some were cooked meat, and there were drinks on the side. It seemed that the style of this Nine Barren Mountain was quite different from other places.

"Why does Junior Sister Luo Lan want to come to Nine Barren Mountains? After all, this place is actually remote and not prosperous."

"I heard that there was a catastrophe in Canzhou, and monsters hated it as a disaster. In the end, Huai Chang killed it, so I went to worship. Later, I felt a lot of emotions, so I came to Jiuhuang Mountain to visit."

"So that's how it is. It is true that many outsiders came to the mountain during this period, and they all came to pay homage to Brother Huaichang." He shook his head with emotion.

"Senior Brother Huaichang is the head of my faction. His strength is unparalleled in the world. It can be said that there is no dissatisfaction among the members of the faction. My faction should have regained its glory under his leadership. I don't want to encounter this."

"But my Nine Barren Mountain disciples are not as sad as the outside world thinks. Fighting monsters is a very dangerous thing. How can there be any reason for safety every time?"

"Senior Brother Huaichang's passing away was within our expectation. Before he left, he entrusted us that if he does not return, another junior brother will be selected from the five peak masters to take over the seat."

"Then who can be chosen now?" Lorraine Hill asked.

"Not yet, but soon."

"In three days, this minion's secret realm will open again. At that time, there will be monsters spilling out. My disciples will catch and strangle them one by one. At that time, whichever peak sect has gained the most will be the peak master who will take over the seat."

"Can you tell me more about this minion secret realm?" Lorraine Hill asked.

She came to Nine Barren Mountains firstly to pay homage to Huai Chang, to see if there was any help in Nine Barren Mountains, and secondly for the secret place inside Nine Barren Mountains.

Different from other hidden and powerful secret caves, this secret realm of Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains cannot be manipulated. It has always been in a state of being half out of control and chaotic and fragmented. This is why there are many local monsters, just like the monsters in the mountains at sunset.

But unlike those monsters in the Ximu Mountains, the monsters here have not been infiltrated by the Nine Nether Qi, but will become more ferocious and brutal, so it takes a long time to send people to clean them up.

Over time, the cultivators who slayed monsters here gradually gathered into Tiger Roaring Nine Barrens Mountain, a small famous sect.

Although the origin is simple and cannot be compared with Wufeng's direct lineage, but with the help of local ferocious monsters and the enrichment of various materials, the Nine Barren Mountain faction has grown rapidly, and the faction has gradually accumulated a set of extremely superb fighting skills.

After learning part of the origin and history of Nine Barren Mountains from Lianzhen, the two talked about some recent events.

...

"Lorraine is to me

Are you interested in our daily life, haha. "

...

"Actually, I find it rather boring. It's just that Lorraine just came from the outside world and hasn't adapted yet."

...

"Oh, Junior Sister Luolan, do you want to accompany me to understand? It's not difficult, just come with me tomorrow."

...

"For the position of seat, although I have the intention of competing, it is not too strong. I will go all out and wait for the result."

After that, Lorraine Hill talked to him a lot, some about how the local people live, and some about the encounters along the way.

"Hahaha, I don't want Junior Sister Luolan to encounter such an interesting thing." Lianzhen laughed loudly when he heard the three swordsmen asking for help from Luolan Hill.

After laughing, this one took a sip of tea and stood up.

"It just so happens that I'm free today. I don't know how many tricks Junior Sister Luo Lan has practiced with me. I haven't seen the tricks of other disciples of the same level."

"Learning, but you may not be used to my style." Lorraine Hill shook her head. She didn't know the kind of punching and exchanging style of play, and these senior brothers Gu Lie were very good at it.

"It's okay, it's just a chance to experience it. I've lived in the mountains for a long time. Although I fought with monsters, I don't have much experience in fighting people."

"Brother Huaichang lost to Su Denglou back then, and we have always regretted it."

"In that case, it would be better to be respectful than obedient." Lorraine Hill stood up, and the two of them also walked out of the hall and came to the open space outside.

This is the top of the mountain peak, right in the clouds and mist, it has a sense of a hazy fairyland, and in the sea of ​​clouds, you can occasionally see the disciples of Jiuhuang Mountain riding giant dragons and flying birds, which is very special.

After walking to the open space, other disciples on the summit also came over curiously to watch, wanting to know the demeanor and strength of the Xiangyu sect disciple who is now famous.

"Then, let's start now." Lianzhen put his fists together, then leaned down slightly, and fixed his eyes on the girl in front of him.

I saw Lorraine Hill spread her hands, her eyes were slightly closed, and a stream of flames rose from the distant sea and the mountains, and then swept over. As she raised her hand, it turned into a howling dragon of flames, flying and rushing in the sky.

Under the flame dragon, faint golden scales appeared between the girl's brows, and the robes all over her body also fluttered slightly in the heat wave, swaying constantly, and finally the veil was partly lifted, revealing a little of her face.

There seemed to be flames rising quietly in the eyes, and as Lorraine Hill moved his fingers forward, the Flame Dragon, which was hundreds of times bigger than the girl, swooped down from the sky, breaking through countless mountain mist and smoke clouds along the way, and with a billowing heat wave, it went straight to the standing Lianzhen who was dealing with it.

"drink!"

Facing this Yanlong, Lianzhen was full of excitement, his fists were intertwined with electric fire, and then he swung a punch vigorously, tearing the sky, and rushed forward.
