Before the morning exercise had even begun, countless figures gathered in the Grand Elder's Courtyard, all of them looking solemn and silent.
At this time, in the room.
"Great Elder, what happened to Junior Brother Zhao Xu to make you so angry?"
Qi Yang, the deacon of the inner sect of the Black and White Academy, and a group of inner disciples asked in confusion.
Earlier, when the sky was slightly bright and they were still taking a shower, they heard a wailing sound that resounded through the entire academy. Then, they received a message from the Great Elder Zhao Sheng, summoning them all.
Zhao Sheng's dissatisfied wrinkled face trembled slightly, with sadness and anger, and he slowly said: "My son Zhao Xu... is dead!"
What?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt chills all over.
Everyone knows Zhao Xu very well. In the academy, he has always been lawless and acted recklessly. However, even the palace master has no choice but to turn a blind eye to him. Just because Zhao Xu is the great elder Zhao Sheng. He got a son when he was old, so he was always pampered and pampered very much.
Now, Zhao Xu is actually dead?
The person who killed him is in big trouble this time!
"Great, Great Elder..."
Qi Yang trembled and asked cautiously: "Junior brother Zhao Xu has already entered the late stage of accumulating energy. This time he went to the Cangyun Mountains, and there were a group of inner disciples such as the outer sect deacon Zhou Yuan to look after him, and there were martial artists below the cultivation level. , there are few opponents, how could it be... could it be a mistake?"
"Won't!"
Zhao Sheng's voice was calm, but his tone was cold to the bone, and he said: "The person who sent the message is that little girl Su Ruofeng; she and my son are in love, and they don't dare to deceive me!"
"But... the life-cultivation realm warriors in Jizhou County rarely go to the Cangyun Mountains? Even if they do occasionally, they would never dare to attack Junior Brother Zhao..."
Qi Yang frowned and guessed: "Great Elder, does the news from Junior Sister Su tell us who the murderer is?"
"The person who killed my son was the third young master of the Ye family in Qingyun City, Ye Wushuang!"
Ye Wushuang?!
Everyone trembled, extremely surprised; a mere son of a small family in Qingyun City dared to kill the son of the great elder?
I'm afraid I don't know how to write the word "death"!
"Hmph! No matter who he is or how strong he is, if he dares to kill my son, I will crush him to ashes!"
Zhao Sheng snorted coldly, and the terrifying power spread out. With a roar, all the tables, chairs and benches in the room were turned into powder.
This scene immediately caused everyone to become silent and trembling with fear.
"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!"
Zhao Sheng's eyes were filled with anger at this moment, and he shouted sternly: "You two will immediately lead a team to the Cangyun Mountains and meet up with Su Ruofeng. You must capture Ye Wushuang alive and bring him back alive. I will skin and remove his bones with my own hands. Comfort my son!"
"yes!"
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, the two inner sect deacons, immediately bowed their hands and turned to leave.
These two are both warriors at the peak of the Essence Accumulation Realm, and with some inner disciples in the early and middle stages of the Essence Accumulation Realm, even warriors in the early stages of life cultivation would find it difficult to resist, let alone a mere Ye Wushuang?
"Qi Yang!"
Zhao Sheng continued to give instructions: "This time my son was killed, only Ye Wushuang's life was needed, so it's hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart; the Ye family must pay the price for this! You are a member of the Qi family in Qingyun City. I'll leave the matter to you."
"This is simple!"
Qi Yang's eyes were sly at this moment, and he said softly: "Elder, I heard that there is not peace in Qingyun City recently; because of Ye Wushuang's announcement of divorce, the Ye family has been at odds with the Su and Qi families; maybe, we can Use the power of these two families to directly destroy the Ye family!"
"At that time, we can avenge Junior Brother Zhao without any effort. It's just..."
"Just what?"
Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Say!"
Qi Yang was startled and said hurriedly: "It's just that before the retreat, the palace master had something to say. I, the disciples of the Black and White Academy, are not allowed to interfere in family fights without authorization; if..."
"No ifs!"
Zhao Sheng suddenly shouted: "My son was killed, and the Ye family must pay the price; just go ahead and do it, if the palace master is to blame, I will bear the responsibility!"
"yes!"
Qi Yang suddenly narrowed his eyes and his eyes flashed.
Ye family, you are in doom this time!
...
At this moment, Ye Wushuang had already entered the palace.
The huge palace seemed extremely empty, with not even the most basic seats. Instead, there were countless solid stone pillars erected, connected by chains as thick as arms, supporting the entire palace as if they were one body.
In the center of the stone pillar, there stands a circular stone platform more than two meters high.
On the stone platform, there are countless small black holes as thick as a thumb, which are so dark and bottomless that the entire stone platform looks like briquettes at first glance.
On both sides of the stone platform, there are iron chains connecting all the stone pillars on both sides.
"Julingtai!"
Looking at the round platform, Ye Wushuang's pupils shrank at this moment, and a smile appeared on his face. He stepped out directly and climbed onto the stone platform.
Buzz!
The stone platform trembled slightly, and the small black holes suddenly burst out with rays of light at this moment, which was quite dazzling.
The Spirit Gathering Platform is a formation spiritual platform built by warriors in order to absorb the spiritual veins of the mountains, replenish spiritual energy, and temper the body.
Back then, Ye Wushuang happened to pass by Jizhou City and met a child. He discovered that he was quite talented in martial arts, so on a whim, he gave some advice.
Unexpectedly, hundreds of years later, that child would become the strongest warrior in Jizhou County and prepare to establish a sect.
By coincidence, Ye Wushuang visited this place again. At his sincere request, Ye Wushuang opened up the mountain based on the spiritual veins of this place, built a spiritual gathering platform, and gave it to the man to cultivate his disciples.
Now, even though ten thousand years have passed, Ye Wushuang still clearly remembers the name of that child.
Pu Ruozhi, a little guy whose name makes you feel very good!
"Ten thousand years have passed, has the spiritual veins here become so sparse?"
Feeling the spiritual veins, Ye Wushuang shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful.
It seems that after this place was built, that little guy Pu Ruozhi used it a lot.
Now, it must be because the spiritual veins are exhausted and it is of little use, so I gave it up directly!
"However, that's okay; now I am still in the martial arts path and have not officially entered the martial arts. If the spiritual vein is too strong, it will be harmful to me; now this kind of spiritual vein is just enough for me to absorb!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Wushuang sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Buzz!
The stone platform trembled again, causing the entire palace to shake slightly.
From the small holes as thick as a thumb, invisible air currents shot out, instantly submerging Ye Wushuang's body.
In the realm of storing essence, it mainly focuses on swallowing and exhaling, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, introducing the spirit into the body, storing the spirit in the eight extraordinary meridians, and tempering the internal organs of the whole body; until the meridians, flesh and blood, and internal organs of the whole body are like copper walls and iron walls, you can Withstand the impact of spiritual energy and reserve majestic spiritual energy.
The amount of spiritual energy that the body can bear determines how far a warrior can go in the martial arts. Therefore, this step is the most important foundation before entering the martial arts.
But Ye Wushuang's body, after being transformed by the Wushuang Divine Sword, has already reached the limit of the spiritual energy it can bear, which is unprecedented.
This also leads to the fact that every time Ye Wushuang ascends to a small realm, the amount of spiritual energy he needs is huge. Just by absorbing it, he doesn't know that it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon to complete the spiritual energy all over his body.
Therefore, if Ye Wushuang wants to improve his realm, he can only rely on external forces.
And this Spirit Gathering Platform is one of the external forces that allows warriors to absorb spiritual energy faster!
At this moment, thousands of small holes were spraying thousands of spiritual energy beams, lingering on the Spirit Gathering Platform, constantly liquefying, dripping on Ye Wushuang's body, and then flowing into the pores and drilling into the body.
Time is slowly passing away like this...
After a day and night.
Ye Wushuang was like an old monk in trance, not moving at all.
Two days and nights later.
Ye Wushuang's whole body was glowing, as if he were petrified, but he remained motionless.
Three days and nights later.
Ye Wushuang, who had been covered with a layer of dirt, suddenly opened his eyes.
