Chapter 277 Beilan Palace

After confirming that it was feasible to open a passage through the Soul Devouring Fire Gu, Xiao Lin was not in a hurry to leave.

This was not because he still had any attachment to this place, but he was thinking whether it was the best time to leave now.

When the beast tide attacks, a large number of low-level monsters will definitely take the lead at the beginning, and they will gather more and more. In the end, those true-level monsters or even emperor-level monsters will definitely not be able to sit still.

At that time, the attack of the beast tide will be considered to have truly reached its climax. Under such an attack, even if Ziyang Immortal City can withstand some time, this time will never be too long.

If he leaves now, Xiao Lin is worried that he will encounter true-level monsters on the road. If he encounters an emperor-level monster, then his life will really be in danger.

If the emperor-level monsters also come to attack the city and fight with the people of Beilan Sect, this may be the best time for him to leave.

And before leaving, Xiao Lin also wants to try to practice the Ghost Hiding Secret Art and the Blood Burning Secret Art. For Xiao Lin, it is not realistic to practice these two secret arts in a very short time.

However, as long as he mastered one skill, it would be of great help to him in his subsequent escape from Ziri Fairy City.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin took out the piece of metal from his bag, placed it in front of him, and began to comprehend it carefully.

......

In a mountain range in the southern region.

The continuous mountains continued to the end of the world. There were countless huge peaks standing in these mountains, each of which was a thousand feet high. On each peak, there were more than a dozen small peaks hanging upside down.

The spiritual light of magic tools of various colors shuttled between these peaks, making people almost suspect that they had come to the fairyland on earth.

The highest peak among them was a thousand or more feet high, and the thick mountain body was even more prominent among the peaks.

On the top of this peak, there was also a huge peak hanging upside down, which was a hundred feet high. On top of this upside-down peak was a flat rock that was dozens of miles high, and on top of this rock stood a magnificent giant palace.

In front of the palace gate, dozens of thick pillars stand tall, supporting a huge dome. A huge plaque can be vaguely seen above the gate, engraved with the words "Beilan", with dragons and phoenixes flying and dancing, and the words bursting with shocking sword intent.

Passing through the stone gate, there is a dark corridor. Entering the depths of the corridor, it gradually becomes brighter. Dozens of monks in linen robes are standing on both sides, with their hands hanging down, their eyes occasionally sweeping forward, their faces full of respect.

In the deepest part of the hall, on a golden recliner, a seventy-year-old man with a ferocious face is sitting upright. The old man has a head full of white hair, each of which is extremely thick and stands upside down, which looks extremely messy.

But this old man has no wrinkles on his face, just like a newborn baby, with red in the white.

The old man is wearing a rough linen green robe, with no expression on his face, but his deep eyes occasionally flash with a thoughtful light.

The entire hall was silent, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that people felt extremely uncomfortable. The dozens of monks in linen robes below were even more silent. When they looked at each other, they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"How is Dong Changli now?" After a while, the old man in rough linen green robe asked.

The fifty-year-old gray-haired old man in the front hurriedly bowed and saluted, and replied: "Reporting to the Third Elder of the Supreme, Junior Brother Dong is fighting monsters in Ziri Immortal City at the moment. Although the beast tide has been fierce in the past ten days, most of them are ordinary monsters. Although there are true monsters, there are not many, so we can still hold on."

"Meng Xuan?"

Hearing the old man in rough linen green robe speak, a forty-year-old strong man immediately walked out from the crowd below, saluted with a respectful face and said: "Disciple is here, what instructions does the Third Elder of the Supreme have?"

"In the crowd Among the second-generation disciples of Duojindan, your cultivation is considered to be in the middle and upper levels. The cultivation of the middle stage of Jindan is enough to replace your senior brother Dong. You should go to Ziri Xiancheng and replace Dong Changli. After all, he has led many disciples to fight monsters for more than ten days and needs a good rest. "

"Disciple obeys your order." The strong man who bent down showed dissatisfaction in his eyes, but it was only a flash. Even if he had a lot of grievances in his heart, he knew that he must not show it in front of the third elder in front of him.

Otherwise, the guilt of disobeying the elder would be enough for the old man in the coarse linen robe in front of him to kill him on the spot.

Besides, if I go to replace Dong Changli, it does not mean that I will definitely be in danger. The monster's attack has been protracted, and this is just the beginning. I think my uncle will send someone to replace me after a while.

Even if the worst result occurs, at most Ziri Xiancheng will be breached. Once such a situation occurs, I can leave immediately through the hidden teleportation array in Ziri Xiancheng.

Just give those low-level casual cultivators and ordinary mortals in Ziri Xiancheng to the monsters, as long as you can guarantee your own safety.

Thinking of this, the forty-year-old man raised his head, and the dissatisfaction on his face turned into obedience.

"He Wuya."

"Disciple is here." Another scholar walked out of the crowd, with a fair face and regular features, and was a standard configuration of a handsome man.

The old man in a rough linen green robe glanced at this person indifferently and said, "The beast tide attack will probably increase to a higher level. Those dormant emperor-level beasts will probably be unable to bear it soon. You and Meng Xuan should go together. It's good if you can kill one or two beasts. If you really can't kill them, don't force it. At worst, you can give up Ziri Xiancheng."

"Yes." The scholar nodded, bowed, and left the hall with the Jindan cultivator named Meng Xuan.

After the two left, the whole hall was empty again, and the old man in rough linen green robe closed his eyes slightly, looking like he was still asleep.

The people below still did not dare to leave, and all stood still with their hands tied, silent.

"Hehe, you finally came out. You didn't show up in the two beast tides, but this time you finally couldn't hold it back." The old man in rough linen green robe, who seemed to be half asleep, suddenly stood up with a ferocious smile on his face.

The next moment, a rich golden stream of light suddenly appeared, illuminating the whole hall with golden splendor, but soon after the golden light dissipated, the figure of the old man in rough linen green robe had disappeared without a trace.

"Master, is it true that there are transformed demons in this beast tide?" The crowd did not disperse at this point, but stared at the original fifty-year-old man with a serious face and asked.

This person is none other than the current leader of Beilan Sect, Qinghuan Zhenren, who has held the position of leader of Beilan Sect for three hundred years.

Looking at the dissipated golden light with some envy, Qinghuan Zhenren sighed in his heart, thinking that he had entered the realm of great perfection of the golden elixir a hundred years ago, and he was only one step away from condensing the Nascent Soul and achieving the Great Dao.

Unfortunately, he failed in the end. Now he is five hundred years old and has given up the idea of ​​going further. The road of cultivation is like this, it has always been a single-plank bridge.

Some people can easily pass through and see the beautiful scenery on the other side of the bridge, while more people fall under the single-plank bridge and their immortal road is cut off.

Qinghuan Zhenren was also a natural talent back then. He condensed the golden elixir in just one hundred and twenty years, becoming one of the few people in Beilan Sect who had the most hope of condensing the Nascent Soul in the past thousand years. Unfortunately, after that, he practiced hard for nearly four hundred years and saw the ups and downs of the world.

Although he had advanced to the Golden Core Great Perfection realm a hundred years ago, and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Great Dao, it was this step that was like a ravine that made him stop and unable to go any further.

After living for more than five hundred years, he had completely given up on advancing to the Nascent Soul, and only thought about cultivating himself and nurturing his offspring. In this way, he could still live for more than a hundred years until he died of old age.

With a light sigh, Qinghuan Zhenren said: "From the words of the Third Elder before he left, it is already very clear that the transformed monster is lurking in the Ten Thousand Poison Pond, which is a million miles deep in the Demonic Plain. A thousand years ago, it was a great perfection of the emperor level monster. A hundred years ago, it survived the thunder tribulation and successfully transformed."

"After the transformation, it can no longer hold back. It wants to invade our southern territory by taking advantage of this beast tide. That's why the Third Elder was furious and chose to take action himself."

"Is it that poisonous dragon?" Many Jindan cultivators on the side heard this, their faces full of horror, and exclaimed.

"So it was that poisonous dragon. The old dragon in the Ten Thousand Poison Pond has been lurking there for two or three thousand years. The area around the Ten Thousand Poison Pond has been run by it like a dragon's lair and a tiger's den. Even many of our disciples who went to the Demon Plain for the trial were terrified by the mention of the Ten Thousand Poison Pond."

"That's right. There are several emperor-level monsters around the Ten Thousand Poison Pond, and they are all the descendants of the old dragon and a group of monsters. Even if we rashly enter the Ten Thousand Poison Pond, we will be in danger of death."

"That's right. Sixty years ago, I accidentally passed by the Ten Thousand Poison Pond. I just wanted to go around the edge of the pond, but I never thought that I would be targeted by an emperor-level monster. After a hard fight, I was lucky enough to escape with one arm broken. Thinking about it now, it makes me sweat."

"It turns out that Senior Brother Wang's arm was cut off by the descendants of the poisonous dragon. Hey, Senior Brother Wang's arm has actually recovered as before."

"Hehe, Junior Brother Bai, don't bother. By chance, I bought a magic pill and restored my broken arm. "

"If it is really that poisonous dragon and its descendants who launched the beast tide this time, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, if things go wrong, the second elder will also come out of retreat, and together with the third elder, they may be able to fight against the poisonous dragon. Otherwise, our third and fourth generation disciples will suffer heavy casualties."

"Elder Wu, have you selected the third and fourth generation disciples to reinforce Zi Ri Xian City this time? Although Junior Brother Meng and Junior Brother He have already respected the ancestor's decree and went to Zi Ri Xian City to assist Junior Brother Dong in defending against the beast tide. "

"But if Zi Ri Xian City's city defense formation wants to continue to support it, it not only needs enough spirit stones, but also someone to fuse and activate the formation. Therefore, it is still necessary to send a hundred foundation-building disciples and a thousand Qi training disciples. "

The Jindan cultivator called Junior Brother Wu heard this and showed a somewhat evil smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. The candidate has been chosen. Today, he will be teleported into Ziri Immortal City along with Junior Brothers Meng and He."
