Looking at the square in front of the main hall, the scene from five years ago is still in front of me, the rocks were shattered by the calamity fire ball, and the mountains were split by the long sword.
The green willows slanting on the mountain road swayed in the wind, seeming to show off this past and present victory to the overlord's sect in the distance.
After the catastrophe, Elder Liu fled in panic alone, leaving behind hundreds of elite disciples in the Xuanji Sect. The fate of these disciples was already doomed.
That man said to kill them all, that is to say, kill them all, even if Ye Dao did not want to kill these young disciples, even if these disciples wearing arrogant coats came from that big sect.
The competition is about to begin, so what should have been a quiet time in this season is now extremely restless. Disciples fighting can be seen everywhere in the air, and a certain deacon can be heard sternly lecturing his disciples.
"You don't need to practice hard like this. When the competition comes, you will die miserably. Those people in the Yongle Sect are not your senior brothers. Their moves are meant to kill people and they won't give you time to think about it at all..."
"You just run away if you can't beat me. If you still hold on when you can't beat me, you are an idiot... You will have to participate in the thirty-six county drills in the future."
"Very good...who said you can't take pills when fighting? Who said you can't use talismans when fighting? Very good, as long as you kill your opponent, it's good, no matter what method it is."
…
Hearing these words that made people laugh or cry, but were extremely reasonable, the old woman couldn't help but smile. She sighed: "When they can understand this, they can only watch these children go to that cruel place."
battlefield."
Ye Dao smiled, stroking his beard, and said with a smile: "Some of them participated in the competition, and some even participated in drills. However, they were able to acquire these principles at a great price."
The old woman smiled calmly and said: "I remember that the team training I participated in that year was led by my junior uncle. I witnessed with my own eyes that the senior brother who was chatting and laughing one moment was dead and dismembered the next moment. That was the first time I killed someone, and I was very scared.
But in the end, I still dropped my sword because of hatred." The tone of his words was very calm, as if he was telling a family story, but Ye Dao felt the bitterness in it very clearly.
"The world of cultivation is so cruel. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to participate in that team training. But what I didn't expect was how we could have a grudge against the Yongle Sect."
Mentioning the grudge against the Yongle Sect again, the old woman was startled. In her dazed expression, she seemed to be able to see the tragic scene. After a long time, she slowly said: "At that time, I was only in the Golden Core stage, and the entire Xuanji Sect was also
Only Junior Master Uncle was Yuanying. Since he and Yongle Sect came from the same county, they traveled together.
At that time, there were three Yuanying monks in Yongle Sect, one of whom was still in the middle stage of Yuanying. They were very strong, so they ordered us to explore the way in front, while they followed us."
"The training place is very strange. I don't know where it is. It is said to have been built by a great cultivator from the empire. Every step there is dangerous, and there are even wild beasts appearing."
"We are walking in front. On the one hand, we have to guard against sneak attacks by monks from other counties. On the other hand, we have to worry about the appearance of wild beasts, so our mental energy is extremely consumed."
"Later, the disciples protested and refused to move forward. Junior Master Uncle also went to make suggestions, hoping that some disciples from the Yongle Sect could be sent to move forward together."
"However, they all refused with various excuses, and the young master had no choice but to endure it. In fact, at that time, the young master was already in the late stage of Nascent Soul. If he were not worried about low-level disciples like us, he might have been able to get the first place in the drill."
Ye Dao nodded and said helplessly: "Is it because of this that my junior uncle took action?"
The old woman chuckled and said calmly: "It's not that simple. My junior uncle is also very patient. If you don't go deeper, the dangers will be greater. Even several senior brothers have died, but my junior uncle will not
anger."
"I remember that day, after we had just repelled the sneak attack enemy, two flame ferrets suddenly broke in."
Hearing the flame mink, Ye Dao was shocked: "Desolate beast."
The old woman nodded and continued: "Originally, there is no danger as long as you avoid it. The flame ferret is timid and if others don't provoke it, it will not provoke others at will."
"However, the evil-minded Yongle Sect disciples were greedy for the fur of the Flame Mink, and even conspired with my disciples to join forces to launch a sneak attack. As you can imagine, all four disciples from both sides were trapped."
"The three leaders of the Yongle Sect discussed with the junior uncle and decided to join forces to rescue the four disciples. The plan is for the junior junior uncle to contain the two wild beasts while the three of them go to rescue the people."
"However, those three people only rescued the disciples of the Yongle Sect, while the disciples of my Xuanji Sect ignored them. This made my junior uncle very angry, but he still asked to join forces to save people again."
"But he was rejected by those three people. The young master was so angry that he finally took action. He faced the three of them alone without losing any of them, and finally killed the three Nascent Soul leaders."
"Then, the young junior uncle went deep into the Flame Marten's place, took back the bodies of the two junior brothers, and then led us disciples back to the entrance until the drill was over."
Although this was just a simple description, Ye Dao could still guess the shocking scenes in it. At least he could see the strong murderous aura in the old woman's cold eyes at this moment.
So he exchanged some pleasantries and quickly changed the subject. He said casually: "I heard that Yu Ming is in the late Nascent Soul stage, so he will lead the team for this competition."
No longer talking about the astonishing past, the old woman's expression recovered slightly and she said with a smile: "Yu Ming is a genius. He has achieved such a level of cultivation in just a few years."
Ye Dao's expression condensed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said doubtfully: "With your talent, you actually say that others are geniuses. It's very shocking for others to hear this."
The old woman shook her head and said hurriedly: "If we talk about genius, what I have is not comparable to Su Fan."
Ye Dao suddenly said: "It's been several years, why hasn't Junior Master released Su Fan yet?"
"It is said that my junior uncle used the Heavenly Tribulation flame to condense his physical body for Su Fan. In this way, he naturally has the ability to control the flames. The Heavenly Tribulation fire is the fire of the world. It is impossible to say that Su Fan's cultivation will take a further step this time."
"Why is my junior uncle so partial? But I think Su Fan is somewhat similar to my junior uncle."
"How are they similar? Su Fan doesn't wear a green shirt, and Su Fan isn't that slow."
"During the battle that day, the two of them had very similar auras."
"In this way, it is indeed very similar, but I don't know how far Su Fan can reach in his cultivation."
"Since it has triggered the heavenly calamity, he is a great cultivator. When he cultivates, he will definitely be immeasurable."
The old woman's expression suddenly darkened and she said in a deep voice: "Just because she is a great practitioner, so..."
"So you're afraid that he won't be able to withstand the next disaster?" Ye Dao said helplessly.
…
The nameless lake.
There is another space under the water. When you are in the water, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Xuanji Sect. It is not that he is very tall and his eyes can see everywhere, but that his consciousness of the sea seems to be infinitely expanded and can touch every corner of the Xuanji Sect.
.
Su Fan was cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, his whole body burning with flames. The gray hair on his head turned red at this moment, as red as the flames on his body.
The flame was still burning brightly under the water. Su Fan closed his eyes and moved his fingers slightly. The man in green shirt cross-legged on the bluestone in front of him frowned slightly. He flicked out a flaming red stone with one finger and said softly: "Ten fire stones."
Crystals, even a person who has practiced fire-based skills for hundreds of years cannot bear this, and he actually consumed them all at once."
Fire crystal is a rare fire-attribute material that can be used to refine magic weapons or make formations. Some people who practice fire-based exercises use it for practice, but because fire crystal is very precious, so
Not many people use it.
At this moment, Qingshan Man's words didn't mean he was distressed, but he was rather playful. As he spoke, he popped out another fire crystal. The fire crystal fell in front of Su Fan, disappeared immediately, and then turned into a rich flame.
, devoured by Su Fan.
Then, the man in green shirt stood up and patted Su Fan on the shoulder. Su Fan opened his eyes slightly, closed his palms, and all the flames in his body were collected into the palm of his hand, and then disappeared.
After completing this series of actions, Su Fan hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Junior thanks senior for saving his life."
The man in green shirt laughed loudly and said: "You little guy is very interesting. Saving you is just what I want, so you don't have to worry about it."
Su Fan's face was full of gratitude. He thought it would be over, but he didn't expect to be saved by this person. Su Fan also heard that this person was the rumored junior uncle.
"Don't use boring words like senior. My name is Qingshan."
Su Fan was startled, but he didn't expect this man to be so generous. He responded slowly: "You are an elder. Isn't it a bit disrespectful for me to call you by your first name?"
Qingshan sneered and said: "They don't know your origins, and I don't know either? You are not a member of my Xuanji sect. You are an elder and a junior."
What does this mean? Su Fan was shocked. Could it be that the other party already knew his identity, even knew where he came from and what his intentions were?
"Where you come from, I don't want to know, and it has nothing to do with me. And you want to kill some people, and I just want to kill those people, so we have a common enemy, so now we are friends."
Su Fan was speechless. Such a powerful person who could fight the catastrophe actually wanted to be friends with him. This was extremely rare and rare. No matter what the adverse consequences were, it seemed that there would always be great benefits at this moment.
"In that case, that's true, then we are friends."
"Since we are friends, I have something I want you to do."
Su Fan was startled. As soon as we became friends, he was busy doing things and asked: "With your cultivation level, what do you need me to do?"
"The people of Taohuaxi cannot die in vain, and neither can the deceased disciples of my Xuanji Sect. This competition is scheduled to be held in Qingming Valley, and I don't want a Yongle Sect disciple to come out."
It was obvious that he did not want a Yongle Sect disciple to come out, but it was very difficult. However, thinking of the tragic death of the villagers in Taohuaxi, Su Fan finally nodded solemnly.
