Penglai Island was once regarded as a magical place by the world.
There are many folk legends about Penglai Island. They all say that Penglai Island is on the sea, sometimes in and out, and the people living on the island are all immortals.
There is also a legend that Penglai Island has four main islands, thirty-six inner islands, seventy-two outer islands, and one hundred and eight islands surrounding and guarding the four main islands, and these islands are full of gods.
No one knows whether Penglai Island really exists.
It is also said that Penglai Island definitely exists, but mortals cannot see it. Even when they get to the edge of Penglai Island, the gods use their blinding methods, and mortals can only see the vast sea and cannot see every plant or tree on the island.
The Tang Dynasty was founded, and they fought in the south and north, destroying countless enemies. However, there was an enemy army that was not willing to surrender, and was entrenched on the sea, harassing the coastal line of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Taizu spent several years building and training a naval force and annihilating this enemy force at sea.
When the last small group of enemy troops fled, the navy of the Tang Dynasty pursued them closely, and finally reached an island on the sea, defeated the enemy troops, and even erected a monument on the island to show that it was the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
After Emperor Taizu learned of this, he directly named the island Penglai Island. In fact, it was to commend the Tang Navy.
Defeating an enemy army is not a big deal, but discovering the fairy island and the naval force chasing the enemy will certainly leave a mark in history.
Although this island was discovered, few people have set foot here since then. It is too far away from the coast, and even pirates are not willing to settle on an island so far away.
The gods know that it has now become a Shura field.
Lianxintang is a famous sect in the Yingchuan area of Yuzhou, and it is also one of the top martial arts forces in the entire Yuzhou. When it comes to the martial arts world, other sects would not dare to provoke it.
The leader, Chen Changshu, has a fifth-level cultivation and can be regarded as a very high figure in the world.
There are three hundred disciples under the sect, with a lot of land, and Chen Changshu is from the famous Yingchuan Chen family, so in Yuzhou, the disciples of Lianxin Hall can be said to be walking sideways.
But at this moment, Chen Changshu had become a frightened bird.
His left arm was cut off at shoulder level, and he brought fifty elite disciples with him. Now there are less than twenty of them left. Thinking back to how high-spirited he was when he set out, and seeing the miserable state of his disciples now, Chen Changshu felt heavy and his face looked heavy.
It is also extremely solemn.
Although he had been mentally prepared on the way, the danger and bloodiness of Penglai Island was far beyond his imagination.
This fairy island has now become a slaughterhouse for the weak and the strong.
The island was filled with a strong smell of blood. Chen Changshu had only been on the island for four short days, but in these four days, he truly understood what it meant to flow like a river of blood.
So far, there have been at least more than thirty sects, large and small, that have landed on the island. The total number of each sect has nearly a thousand people. However, after a few days, nearly ten sects have been completely wiped out.
Many sects also suffered heavy casualties.
The island is littered with corpses.
People will die for money, birds will die for food, and people in the world will fight to the death to obtain martial arts records.
In the past few days, Lianxintang has fought several battles in succession. Most of the disciples were killed or injured, and one of his own arms was cut off. He was at his weakest moment, so he finally hid in this canyon to recharge his batteries.
Although this place seems very secretive, Chen Changshu knows that no place on this island is safe.
Moreover, the current situation is not only about competing for Tao Zun's martial arts record, but also mixed with vendetta.
The night was dark and everything was quiet.
He knew in his heart that although Lianxintang suffered heavy losses, other sects also suffered heavy losses. Many sects are now hiding around this island with a radius of a hundred miles, trying to avoid fighting as much as possible and gain time to recharge their batteries.
Because as long as they find traces of each other, they won't let each other live.
"Master, do we still want to stay?" A disciple who also had his arm cut off sat miserably beside Chen Changshu and said in frustration: "Let's go back!"
Chen Changshu turned around. Although his arm was broken, his power was still there, his eyes were like daggers, and he said coldly: "What did you say?"
"Disciple... I feel that if we stay any longer, we may not be able to leave alive." The disciple was obviously extremely frightened and tired of the fighting on the island, so he bit the bullet and said: "We suffered heavy casualties, but our strength
It's too big to defeat them."
Chen Changshu suddenly raised his hand, almost hitting the man's head with a palm. The disciple looked horrified, and the other disciples were also frightened.
But he finally slowly put down his palm and sighed: "Going to the beach to board the boat now will expose your whereabouts. Can those bald donkeys from Jinshan Temple let us go? They insist that I killed Monk Guanghui, but...
Before he died, I didn’t even know what Monk Guanghui looked like, so when did I kill him?”
"They are framed." A disciple immediately said: "Master, they are monks. They thought it would be awkward to fight with us for the martial arts book, so they found a reason to attack us."
Chen Changshu frowned, thoughtfully, then shook his head and said: "No. Monk Guangyuan was very sad and angry when he accused him, and it didn't seem like he was lying. Moreover, Monk Guanghui was really dead, and his fatal injury was indeed heartbreaking.
Palm." He frowned and said doubtfully: "The Heart-Destroying Palm is the secret skill of our sect. Even within our sect, only I have mastered it. How could he die under the Heart-Destroying Palm?"
"Did... someone secretly learn this secret skill?" someone whispered.
"Fart." Chen Changshu said angrily: "You think our secret skill is just a street vendor, and anyone can get it? The secret formula of Heart-Destroying Palm has been passed down orally from generation to generation, and only the master can get it. How can it be known to outsiders?"
All the disciples looked at each other, and some even couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Master, you...really didn't kill him?"
"Don't you know that I killed someone?" Chen Changshu said angrily: "I never saw Guang Hui before he died, how can I kill him?"
"Master, Boss Qiu of the Yellow River Gang also said that Taixu Sword Sect Tang Jingyi killed his second master. Tang Jingyi categorically denied it, but the second master's fatal wound was caused by Taixu swordsmanship. The three-star concentration method, other swords
It seems that the law can't be done." An older, mature-looking disciple said: "Tang Jingyi is a well-known top swordsman in the world. If he really killed someone, there is no need to deny it. Master...
.!" At this point, he stopped talking and couldn't continue.
Chen Changshu said: "It doesn't matter if you just say it."
"Tang Jingyi's incident is very similar to that of the master." The disciple said: "Monk Guanghui was definitely not killed by the master, but he did die under the Heart-Destroying Palm. The second leader of the Yellow River Gang can almost conclude that he did indeed die.
Under the Taixu sword technique, the disciple believes that Tang Jingyi is very likely to have been wronged. He... indeed did not kill the second master." Chen Changshu looked sternly and said: "Could it be that someone is pretending to be us?
kill?"
"Both the second master and the monk Guanghui have one thing in common." The disciple said: "They were not killed in the middle of a fight. Instead, they were attacked and assassinated when they were alone at night. And the assassin deliberately made noise.
, people saw their leaving figures, but they couldn't catch up. Didn't the monks from Jinshan Temple claim to have seen the master's back? They said that although they couldn't see the face clearly, the back figure was the master, which proved that it was indeed the master.
Someone pretended to be you and attacked Guanghui."
Chen Changshu was about to say something when he suddenly heard a scream not far away. Chen Changshu and his disciples immediately picked up their weapons. Although their morale was low, their reactions at this moment were extremely quick.
Chen Changshu took the lead, running quickly in the direction of the sound.
They took shelter in this canyon for a while, and arranged people on both sides to release the wind. The place where the sound came from was exactly the direction from which their disciples were releasing the wind.
When Chen Changshu ran over, he saw a figure in front of him turned around and ran away. He rushed forward and saw that the disciple who was showing off was already lying on the ground motionless. He was horrified. He looked up at the figure and saw that it was undoubtedly the murderer.
He shouted low and stepped forward. Although his arm was severed and the injury was not serious, he was still at the fifth level and his strength was not weak. He chased after him and said sternly: "Who are you? Stay and talk."
Kick, a fist-sized stone hit the figure's back like a meteor.
The figure was also very fast. When he saw that the stone was about to hit him, he dodged sideways and easily dodged it. Then he got close to the cliff on the left, reached out and grabbed a thick vine hanging from it, and moved upward like a spiritual ape.
Climbing up, by the time Chen Changshu caught up with him, the man had climbed halfway up to his waist.
Chen Changshu was so angry that he raised one arm and threw the big knife in his hand. However, the man's right foot hit a protruding rock on the cliff and flew into the sky. The big knife hit the cliff with great force and "choked".
There was a sound and sparks flew everywhere.
When the disciples arrived, the figure had already climbed up and disappeared in an instant.
"Master, how are you?" The older disciple asked hurriedly when he saw Chen Changshu looking up.
Chen Changshu clenched his fist with one hand and said: "Tianfeng Lao Dao from Yuanchi Temple, I have some friendship with him and recognize his figure. That person just now was him."
"Master, not only do we have no enmity with Yuan Chiguan, but you are also on good terms with Taoist Master Tianfeng." The older disciple frowned and said, "I remember that when he went to Yuzhou six years ago, he even went to Yingchuan to meet you.
, he has been living with us for several days, how could he...how could he kill our people?"
Chen Changshu sneered and said: "Now on this island, you are fighting to the death, and there is no friendship at all. The day before yesterday, we bumped into the group of Taoist priests from Yuanchiguan, and Tianfeng didn't even say hello to me. We avoided each other. We have already become like strangers.
.”
"That day, we and the people from Yuanchi Temple hid away from each other. This is already considered a friendship." The older disciple said: "Otherwise, if we don't deal with it, we will take action at that time. We are worried that Taoist Master Tianfeng will take action, and if we don't get close to them, they will definitely
They are also afraid that we will attack them, so they avoid each other." He also raised his head and looked up, saying: "Master, if your guess is correct, the junior brother who was killed just now must have died from Yuan Chiguan's Chai Feng mudra. The murderer,
It’s very possible that someone is pretending to be Taoist Master Tianfeng!”
Chen Changshu heard this, his body trembled, he realized something, and said with a stern expression: "Are you saying that someone is deliberately trying to provoke hostility between us and Yuan Chiguan, and next time we meet, we will fight to the death?" He asked doubtfully: "But that figure from behind
It’s almost exactly the same as Tianfeng, how could I get it wrong?”
