Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 160: The fourth floor of the ruins, strange flute sound!
Everyone said nothing and followed Wuling towards the mountain gate.

"Fang Xu, you..."

"Actually, I can go by myself."

Looking at Fang Xu beside her, Yun Wan spoke.

Fang Xu tilted his head and looked at her, realizing that Yun Wan must have misunderstood what he meant.

He once told Yun Wan that he would find an opportunity to go to Tilan Mountain to help her find Yun Qing's whereabouts.

But now that the old ape is in seclusion, Fang Xu is not in a hurry to do this.

Yun Qing’s strength is not weak. As long as he doesn’t go deep into the basket, he won’t be in too much danger.

After all, the person in charge of searching for Yun Qing now is Sha Tianrui. He has no intention of killing him and has not been looking for him very hard.

Let it be a misunderstanding. Fang Xu felt guilty for a moment and didn't want to explain it.

"It's okay. I've been in seclusion for a while now, so it's time to go out for a walk."

After giving Yun Wan an ambiguous answer, Fang Xu quickly changed the subject and said, "If we can't find it this time, I'll take Tongtong with me. She has the ability to tam beasts, so it should be easier for her."

Yun Wan nodded: "Fang Xu, thank you."

……

Tilan Mountain ruins.

When Wuling arrived with a group of inner disciples, the entrance to the ruins was still as lively as ever.

However, the first three floors of the Tilan Mountain ruins have basically been looted, and there is nothing valuable. The reason these people gathered here is that they are waiting for news.

Wait until someone finds a way to survive on the fourth floor.

The arrival of the elders of the Ascension Society with a group of disciples undoubtedly gave these people a glimmer of hope.

Before Wuling could speak, these warriors automatically made way and watched Wuling and everyone else enter the ruins.

They did not stop at the first, second, and third floors, and went straight to the entrance of the fourth floor.

"Okay, tell me."

Before the entrance, Wu Ling turned around and looked at everyone and said, "There are restrictions in place, so don't be blindly confident. You are not the high and mighty Martial Lords in here."

"Everyone, if you encounter danger, help those around you as much as possible. When an opportunity comes, whoever gets it first gets it. I don't want to see the disciples of my Ascension Society fighting over a small opportunity!"

Everyone nodded.

Wu Ling added, "Don't stay too far away from me, and don't act on your own. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you can't blame others."

"Let's go."

As soon as Wu Ling finished speaking, he walked directly towards the entrance of the fourth floor.

Fang Xu followed the crowd and looked up at everything around him.

This entrance was discovered by him and Gu Qiu together. At that time, the two of them wandered around the third floor for many days. Finally, it was Gu Qiu who used the secret method of the Five Elements to calculate and finally determined that the entrance was under this cliff.

The group slowly walked into the entrance, and Fang Xu and Yun Wan followed them in.

The moment he passed through the entrance, Fang Xu was suddenly stunned.

The taste of the elixir of creation!
The moment he entered the fourth floor, Fang Xu smelled a faint scent of the Immortal Liquid of Creation in the mist.

If he had not used the Immortal Liquid of Creation himself and had not felt the taste of this primitive energy in his own acupoint space, he would not have been able to tell the difference at all.

Because there is too little immortal liquid of creation contained in the misty fog in front of us.

Ordinary warriors, including Wu Ling, at most feel that the smell of the mist makes people feel refreshed.

Everyone moved forward slowly, and the fog in front of them gradually faded.

Fang Xu lowered his head and could vaguely see the bodies of some warriors lying on the ground.

Obviously, these were the warriors who had come to explore the fourth floor before. They didn't know what happened and died here mysteriously.

"Elder, there is a flute sound!"

Suddenly, a disciple walking in front of Fang Xu spoke hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, the team stopped immediately and everyone pricked up their ears.

"No?"

"Where is the flute sound?"

"Why didn't I hear it?"

"I didn't hear it either!"

Everyone said they didn't hear any flute sound.

Wu Ling frowned, walked up to the disciple and asked, "Are you sure you heard the flute?"

The disciple said with an unnatural expression: "Yes... there is definitely a flute sound!"

“It’s becoming clearer.”

Wu Ling saw this and looked around.

He didn't hear any flute sound either, but he believed that the disciple would not lie at this time.

However, there was nothing around except a faint mist.

Fang Xu also looked around.

Although he didn't hear the sound of the flute, he could feel a strange aura approaching.

The fog around him was rolling in the wind, and waves of cold fog came over him. Fang Xu suddenly frowned.

At that moment just now, he seemed to see a human-like thing pushing away the surrounding fog and walking towards the inner disciple who said he heard the flute sound.

But when he looked over there, he saw nothing.

"Keep moving forward!" After Wuling confirmed again and again that there was nothing around, he decided to keep moving forward.

"very noisy!"

"The sound of the flute is right next to my ear!"

Just as they took a few steps forward, the inner sect disciple suddenly covered his ears and shouted loudly with a look of fear on his face.

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

"Junior brother!"

The two disciples beside him quickly supported him, and the other disciples also quickly took out their weapons and carefully guarded their surroundings.

Wu Ling walked slowly up to the disciple and was about to ask him something when he saw the disciple's eyes suddenly widen, his body stiffened, and then he gradually lost his breath.

The two disciples of the Ascension Society who were supporting him were so frightened when they saw this that they quickly dropped him and stepped a few steps away.

There was fear in both of their eyes!

Just now, the two of them were the closest to this disciple, but they didn't feel anything and had no idea why a martial artist at the first level of Martial Honor died inexplicably!

Wu Ling leaned over with a serious expression to check on the dead disciple.

"There are no scars on the body, and no signs of poisoning..."

"Elder Wuling, could it be... an attack on the soul?" Standing next to him, Fang Xu glanced at the disciple's body and suddenly remembered the method of attacking the soul with murderous aura that Chu Rendi had shown him on the way to the Star Palace.

Wu Ling was slightly startled after hearing this.

After Fang Xu's reminder, he really thought that it might be a means of attack by the soul.

But that’s not right either!

He was not far away from the disciple just now and did not feel any attack fluctuations at all.

If this disciple was really killed by a soul attack, then this kind of attack that could hide from his perception would be too terrifying!

Wuling felt that no warrior could do this.

"Everyone has seen the danger. If anyone wants to quit at this time, they can go directly to the third floor and wait."

Wu Ling became a little nervous as he lost a disciple less than a hundred meters into the fourth floor.

What he brought with him this time were all the elites from various branches of the Ascension Society. If all these disciples were killed on the fourth floor, the Yu Kingdom Ascension Society branch would definitely be seriously damaged.

"Elder, I quit."

"I'll quit too!"

"I!"

As soon as Wu Ling finished speaking, four or five disciples immediately chose to withdraw.

They came to the Blue Mountain Ruins with the intention of trying their luck and looking for some opportunities to improve their strength.

But now, a fellow disciple died silently in front of them. They didn't even see the enemy's appearance, nor did they know how he was killed.

This strange way of death made them afraid to move forward.

"Okay, you guys take his body to the entrance first."

"The rest of you who are willing to continue forward, follow me closely."

After watching several people take away the disciple's body, Wuling led the remaining disciples to move forward.

"You should quit." Fang Xu looked at Yun Wan in the crowd and said.

Facing Fang Xu's concerned gaze, Yun Wan shook her head resolutely.

Seeing her expression, Fang Xu understood that Yun Wan now urgently wanted to improve her strength.

"Then stay by my side and be careful." Fang Xu said again.

In this relic, he naturally has certain advantages and should be able to protect her at the critical moment.

As everyone continued to move forward, Fang Xu looked around carefully.

Suddenly, he noticed a clear dividing line on the ground beneath his feet.

Looking in the direction of the dividing line, Fang Xu noticed a blurry figure.

"Elder, there's something over there!"

Fang Xu shouted quickly!

When everyone heard his voice, they drew their weapons and stared vigilantly in the direction Fang Xu knew!

A breeze blew, and the surrounding fog rolled, making the blurry figure clearer.

"It's human!"

"It's a man in armor!"

Someone saw the general appearance of the figure and shouted quickly.

Everyone instantly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy!

Wu Ling also saw the vague figure and asked in a deep voice, "Who is there?"

The figure ignored it.

Wu Ling snorted coldly: "Playing tricks!"

Bang!
He kicked a long sword that was left there by someone unknown!

The long sword pierced through the mist and hit the figure accurately.

Beside Wu Ling, an inner sect disciple who had reached the third level of Martial Honor saw that the black shadow still had no reaction, so he bravely walked over.

"Elder, it's a corpse."

Hearing his shout, everyone gathered around.

In front of him, a skeleton wearing ancient armor, holding a stone spear in his hand, and with flesh and blood already decayed, stood quietly.

The long knife kicked by Wuling pierced the chest of the corpse.

"Looking at this appearance, I don't know how many years he has been dead, right?"

"I was so scared. It turned out to be a dead body."

"He has been dead for so many years, but his armor has not decayed yet. It must be a treasure."

Some disciples started to strip off the armor and other items from the corpses, but they soon discovered that although these things were treasures, they were basically equivalent to scrap metal due to the erosion of time.

Taking it back is just to exchange it for some contribution points at the Divine Weapon Hall, which is basically useless.

"This stone spear is good."

Someone noticed the stone spear in the corpse's hand and broke it off with his bare hands.

Fang Xu could tell at a glance that this stone spear was the same as the one he had obtained before, except that the one in front of him had obvious cracks, and it was probably not much harder than an ordinary stone.

"Let me try!"

Seeing this, another disciple raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the stone spear with force!
Clang!
The stone spear was cut directly into two pieces.

"What bad luck! Is this thing really made of stone?"

After throwing the two pieces of stone spear on the ground, everyone saw that there was nothing around and continued to move forward.

Just as they walked forward more than ten meters, the expression of a disciple in the team suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

Another disciple walking beside him noticed his abnormality and asked quickly.

"Flute...Flute sound!"

"I...I heard the flute, too!"

The disciple just now said that he heard the sound of the flute, and died shortly afterwards.

Now, he also heard the faint sound of the flute, and was naturally very frightened.

Upon hearing this, Wuling hurried to his side and grabbed his arm.

This time he wants to see how the murderer kills people!

"Elder, the sound of the flute is getting closer!"

The disciple looked ahead in horror and shouted.

All the disciples around him were staring nervously in the direction he was looking.

But there was nothing in that direction except a faint mist.

Yun Wan nervously clenched the sword in her hand, and her other hand involuntarily grabbed Fang Xu's clothes.

So weird!

What was happening before their eyes was completely beyond their understanding!
Fang Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at the constantly changing fog in front of him, then he slowly closed his eyes.

But the moment he closed his eyes, he saw it!

It was a blurry shadow with a charming figure!

The phantom held a flute in his hand and walked towards the crowd while playing it and twisting his waist.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xu opened his eyes.

But there was still nothing in front of me.

When he closed his eyes again, the enchanting figure had already arrived in front of the disciple.

His slender fingers danced quickly on the flute.

"Noisy!"

"Noisy!"

The disciple immediately covered his ears and shouted loudly!

next moment!
Fang Xu saw the enchanting figure stretch out his hand and grab the disciple's head!
boom!
Fang Xu suddenly threw a punch towards the head of the enchanting figure!

However, his fist hit nothing and went through the head of the enchanting figure without causing any impact on her.

He watched helplessly as the enchanting figure's slender hand grabbed a ball of misty human-shaped energy from the disciple's mind, and then it slowly dissipated.

Fang Xu knew that the disciple was dead.

"died!!"

"Junior Brother Liu is dead!"

Seeing the man in front of them with wide eyes and no breath left, the inner disciples around were all scared.

"Fang Xu, did you see something just now?"

Wu Ling sighed and glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked at Fang Xu and said.

"Yes, Junior Brother Fang, did you see anything?"

"What on earth is that thing?"

……

Everyone saw that before the disciple died, Fang Xu threw a punch towards the top of his head.

Fang Xu groaned for a moment and said, "It is a blurry shadow, it seems to be a woman, holding a flute in her hand."

"I saw her grab Senior Brother Liu's soul out of his body."

"It's just that my attacks can't hurt her at all."

After hearing his words, many disciples' faces turned even paler in an instant.

It was fine that I couldn’t see it before and had no way to deal with it, but now that I can see it and attacking is useless, what should I do?
Are we just going to let others slaughter us?

"Elder, I have a guess."

Fang Xu pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.

Wu Ling looked at him and said, "Tell me about it."

Fang Xu looked around at the brothers around him and said, "I think the attack of that thing is related to the soul."

"Those with weak spirits are more vulnerable to attack."

His analysis caused everyone to fall into silence.

"Correct!"

"I remembered!"

"The spirit of Junior Brother Zhang who died before was very weak!"

An inner sect disciple thought for a moment and then spoke quickly.

"Why do you think so?" Wu Ling asked.

The disciple quickly said, "Elder, Junior Brother Zhang and I went to the Immortal Ascension Platform together when we were martial arts masters, but he could only reach the fourth floor at that time."

Wuling nodded slightly. A martial artist who had reached perfection could only reach the fourth level. His soul strength was indeed a bit weak.

"Do you still think that your soul is weak?" Wu Ling thought for a moment and said to everyone, "If you know that your soul is weak, it's not too late to quit now."

Everyone looked at each other, and after some self-examination, three less confident disciples said they wanted to withdraw.

Fang Xu looked at Yun Wan curiously: "How is your soul?"

Yun Wan tilted her head and smiled faintly: "Enough."

As a disciple of the Ascension Society, if one wants to be a perfect martial artist, his soul must at least be able to reach the fifth level of the Ascension Platform to be considered qualified, and reaching the sixth level is considered superior.

To reach the initial stage of Martial Honor, one must have the spiritual strength of at least the seventh level of the Ascension Platform.

Of course, Fang Xu is an exception.

His achievement of reaching the eighth level of the Ascension Platform with the cultivation level of a second-level martial artist has broken the record set by Jiang Feng that year.

After the three inner disciples left, there were only fifteen people left in the field.

Among these fifteen people, Fang Xu has the lowest cultivation level, followed by Yun Wan, and the rest are all above the second level of Martial Honor.

Wu Ling looked at Fang Xu, then at Yun Wan.

He knew the strength of Fang Xu's soul, but Yun Wan...

"Elder, Junior Sister Yun has reached the seventh floor." Someone said.

Wuling nodded, and without saying anything else, he led everyone forward.

The team became much quieter afterwards, and no one heard the flute sound again.

After walking nearly a hundred meters forward, the fog in front of them became thinner and everyone could see things a hundred meters away.

The ruined buildings were scattered with collapsed houses everywhere, and the small square was littered with many scattered bones, weapons, armor, etc.

Wu Ling looked around and said, "No one heard the flute, right?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Wu Ling nodded slightly:

"There should be some opportunities in these buildings. You should search separately."

“Remember, don’t go too far and don’t fight.”

Everyone bowed to each other and then walked in different directions.

Fang Xu and Yun Wan also each chose a direction. When Yun Wan was about to leave, Fang Xu called her and took out a black cloth bag from his arms and handed it to her.

Yun Wan was curious: "What is this?"

"Qiankun bag." Fang Xu said with a faint smile.

Qiankun bag! ?

Yun Wan was completely stunned!

This is the stuff of legend!

"This... this thing is too valuable..." Yun Wan said with her head down.

Yun Wan could naturally feel Fang Xu's intentions when he gave her such a valuable gift.

After being together for so long, she naturally has a good impression of Fang Xu.

But now he was burdened with family feud and hatred, and didn't want to involve Fang Xu.

"I have another one, take it and use it."

Fang Xu smiled slightly and walked straight forward.

Yun Wan held the Qiankun bag in her hand, looked at Fang Xu's back, revealed a faint smile, and then tied the Qiankun bag around her waist.

The buildings in front of us look very old, and must have been home to many practitioners in the past.

It's just that they were attacked in some way and everyone died in the battle.

Fang Xu kicked open the closed door in front of him, and what came into view was a room that had not been damaged.

On the wall opposite the door of the room hung a portrait that looked somewhat familiar to him.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he realized that he had indeed seen this portrait before.

There are seven statues on the square on the first floor of the ruins. According to Gu Qiu, those seven statues correspond to the Seven Luminous Gods.

The portrait in front of me is blue all over, and there is a blue ocean under the feet of the person in the portrait, which should be the water of the five elements.

The water of the Five Elements corresponds to the True Emperor of Chenxing, whose name is...

Fang Xu thought for a while, but still couldn't think of what the name of Chenxing Zhenhuangjun was.

Turning his eyes away from the portrait, Fang Xu searched the room.

The layout of the room was simple, and most of the things there were for secular living, such as beds, tables, chairs, and desks.

There was an exquisite wooden box on the desk, and next to it was a pile of books.

Fang Xu walked over slowly, opened the wooden box and took a look, a hint of curiosity immediately appeared on his face.

Lying in the wooden box was a silver mini sword that was more than an inch long, with six empty dents next to it. It seemed that there should have been seven small swords of different shapes in the wooden box.

The small sword flashed with cold light and looked very sharp.

"This thing... a flying sword?"

Looking at the small sword in the wooden box, Fang Xu couldn't help but think of the fantasy drama he had watched in his previous life.

Some so-called sword masters in the play seem to be able to manipulate this miniature sword to make it bigger or smaller, and to take people's heads from thousands of miles away.

But I don’t know how to use this thing myself.

After closing the wooden box and putting it into the Qiankun bag, Fang Xu looked at the pile of books next to him.

I reached out and took a look, and found that the book contained some words that I could not understand at all.

Without studying it in detail, Fang Xu put all the books into his Qiankun bag. He looked around and it seemed that there was nothing else.

Just as he was about to leave, his eyes once again caught the portrait on the wall.

This portrait seems to be made of some kind of animal skin. After countless years, the colors on it are still bright and beautiful.

"It should be interesting."

Muttering something, Fang Xu immediately prepared to take down the portrait on the wall.

what! ?

The moment the portrait was taken down, he suddenly discovered that there was a secret compartment behind the portrait!
What good luck!
If I hadn't suddenly decided to take the portrait away, I would not have discovered the existence of this secret compartment.

After carefully rolling up the portrait and putting it into the Qiankun bag, Fang Xu was about to reach out to open the secret compartment when his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He immediately withdrew his hand, picked up a wooden stool beside him, and smashed it into the secret compartment!

boom!
call out!
call out!
As the wall of the secret compartment was smashed, several sharp crossbow arrows shot out from the secret compartment in an instant, directly piercing through the door of the room and disappearing into the distance.

What a powerful force!
Fang Xu thought to himself, what a close call!
After practicing the art of praying to the heavens, his sense of danger became even sharper. If it were before, he would have most likely been caught.

After the sharp crossbow arrow disappeared, only a large dark red wooden box remained in the secret compartment.

Fang Xu took out the wooden box, twisted the delicate little lock on it hard, and opened the wooden box.

Inside are three pieces of purple ore.

The ore exudes a strange energy and does not look ordinary.

He didn't know much about this kind of thing, so he just put the ore into his Qiankun bag and left the room.

At this time, other disciples of the Ascension Society also searched the surroundings. Seeing that everyone was carrying packages and had smiles on their faces, Fang Xu knew that everyone had a good harvest.

"Fang Xu, this is for you."

Yun Wan walked slowly, holding a black iron rod in her hand, looking a little strenuous.

The iron stick was about five feet long, slightly longer than the strange wooden stick that Lu Zhiyuan had given him, but it looked uglier.

This iron rod looks like a rough piece of iron that was melted and solidified randomly. It would probably feel uncomfortable to hold.

But Fang Xu noticed that Yun Wan seemed to have some difficulty lifting the iron rod.

He hurried over and took the iron rod in his hand.
It’s really heavy!
Weighing the iron rod, Fang Xu could feel that it weighed at least several hundred pounds!

Holding it in his hand, Fang Xu felt a heavy and solid feeling, which made him very happy.

It just so happened that the strange wooden stick turned into a small tree, and now he really needed a handy weapon.

Moreover, Fang Xu felt that this iron rod could very likely be nurtured as a life-saving device.

As his strength increases, he now lacks many life-saving weapons.

"How was the harvest?" Fang Xu asked casually, holding the iron rod in his hand.

"It's okay. I'll show it to you when I get back." Yun Wan said softly.

It seemed that, at this moment, she had already accepted her identity.

"Is it almost done?" Wu Ling, who was not far away, saw that everyone had returned here and said directly, "It's almost done, let's move on."

Everyone passed the building and continued walking forward.

During this time, they again encountered some scattered buildings.

Thanks to Wuling's mediation, even though there were not enough rooms to go around, there was no fighting among the crowd.

Just when everyone was happy about the gains of this trip, the fog ahead suddenly became much thicker.

But no one in the team took this strange phenomenon seriously, even Wuling seemed to think it was normal.

Fang Xu, who was walking behind the team, frowned when he saw this.

Seeing this, Yun Wan looked at him curiously: "What's wrong?"

Fang Xu shook his head: "Something feels wrong."

Yun Wan understood that Fang Xu was not the kind of person who would let go without reason, and she immediately became a little alert.

As the group was walking, two people in the team suddenly stopped where they were.

The faces of the two men turned extremely pale, and then they turned around and ran backwards!

"Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Kong, where are you going!?"

"Elder!"

"Junior Brother Xu, stop running around!"

"You two, stop!"

Everyone was puzzled by the two people's strange behavior and shouted loudly.

"Flute!"

"I hear a flute!"

"I heard it too!"

The two of them ran and shouted loudly.

But the next moment, the two of them suddenly stood there in horror.

Because in his world, the strange flute sound suddenly came from the front.

Fang Xu closed his eyes slightly, and then his body trembled slightly!
Phantom!

There were at least dozens of enchanting shadows in the surrounding mist, which had slowly surrounded them.

"Elder Wu..."

Fang Xu looked at Wu Ling and said solemnly: "We are surrounded."

Surrounded?
The group of inner disciples didn't seem to understand what being surrounded meant.

Only Wu Ling looked grim and asked, "How many are there?"

Fang Xu did not answer, but reminded: "Elder, you can close your eyes and observe with the power of your soul."

Upon hearing this, Wuling immediately closed his eyes and released his spiritual power.

When he saw this, his eyes suddenly widened!

Some disciples with stronger spiritual power also followed suit, closing their eyes and observing with their spiritual power.

But the next moment, they all turned pale with fright!

"many!"

"tens of!"

"It's over!"

"That's not right, I clearly didn't hear any flute sound!"

"I didn't hear it either!"

Faced with this strange enemy, these once proud sons of heaven instantly lost their composure and looked around in panic.

Seeing those shadows getting closer and closer, Fang Xu's brows twitched a few times, then he pulled Yun Wan behind him, and then directly mobilized his soul with his consciousness.

The next moment, the world in front of me became clearer!
Those enchanting figures also revealed their true colors.

Through his soul, Fang Xu clearly saw that these enchanting figures were actually monsters with human bodies and fish faces!

They are naked, and their bodies are covered with dense scales, making them look both real and fake.

At this time, two fish-faced monsters had walked up to the two inner disciples who heard the flute sound.

Fang Xu felt his sea of ​​consciousness beating, and the tripod-casting star map in his body lit up spontaneously. The next moment, a mini tripod suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Ok?
He tried to sacrifice the small tripod with his spirit.

The next moment, in Yun Wan's eyes, a huge bronze tripod suddenly appeared behind Fang Xu!

The moment the big cauldron appeared, the surrounding fog began to roll violently!
Immediately afterwards, the fog and the fish-faced monster hidden in the fog were sucked into the cauldron.

Everyone could even hear the shrill screams coming from their ears.

The fog disappeared, and the fish-faced monsters around also disappeared.

The two inner disciples who heard the flute sound also slowly stood up and found that the flute sound lingering in their ears had disappeared.

"Gone!"

"Those monsters are gone!"

"Junior Brother Fang is so amazing!"

"Brother Fang, is that a star map?"

Everyone gathered around Fang Xu and flattered him in a very fawning manner.

They were able to escape this time, all thanks to Fang Xu.

Otherwise, no one would be able to deal with this monster.

Wu Ling also looked at Fang Xu with satisfaction and said, "That's right. After I go back, I will personally recommend you for the credit."

He could tell that the star map used by Fang Xu was not produced in the Star Palace, which meant that Fang Xu had his own opportunity.

However, he didn't want to ask too much about chance.

Anyway, with Fang Xu here, people no longer have to be afraid of those elusive things.

"I suggest that next time you come across a building, Junior Brother Fang doesn't have to queue up like us. You can choose one by yourself every time!"

"Agree!"

"can!"

"Junior Brother Fang saved everyone, so this is what he deserves!"

……

Amid the crowd's cheers, Wu Ling looked at Fang Xu and said, "Since everyone says so, let's do this next time we encounter a building complex."

Fang Xu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brothers."

You know, there are fifteen people in their group, and the building complex they encountered before had too few rooms, so the rule Wuling made was that everyone took turns.

Now, because he saved everyone, he can ignore the rules and doesn't have to queue up for turns.

This means that as long as there is an opportunity, he will definitely have a share.

Even if it's just a house, it's his.

The survivors set out again.

With the means to deal with that kind of monster, everyone relaxed their vigilance and began to expand the search area a lot.

An unknown amount of time had passed. Just when everyone had reaped a great harvest, the mist in front of them completely dissipated, and a huge temple appeared before everyone!
Looking at the huge temple, everyone was stunned!

"Gudong!"

"Gudong!"

There were several sounds of swallowing saliva in the crowd, and everyone looked at what was happening in front of them in shock.

Fang Xu's pupils also shrank as he looked at the huge temple in front of him that was cut in half.

What shocked them was the blow that split the temple in half!
"This……"

"What kind of existence can deliver such a terrifying strike!?"

"I can't see the end at a glance. This depth must be nearly a hundred meters, right?"

"so horrible!"

……

The blow that split the temple open was obviously launched from not far in front of them!

Standing there, Fang Xu seemed to see the scene at that time.

A figure with tremendous arrogance stood in front, slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and slashed a thousand-foot-long sword light at the temple in front of him!
With this sword, the sky and the earth lost their color, the sun and the moon lost their luster, and the sword light that penetrated the sky and the earth directly cut through the temple in front of him along with the earth!

His expression flickered and the scene in front of him disappeared. Fang Xu couldn't help but think of the cliff at the entrance to the fourth floor that looked like a natural moat.

seem……

That was also cut out by someone!
What kind of enemy has this world encountered?
"Elder, shall we go to the temple?"

Someone came back to his senses from the shock and quickly looked at Wu Ling and asked.

Wu Ling didn't say anything and looked directly at Fang Xu.

Logically speaking, this temple belongs to one building, but the temple is so huge that it does not seem to be able to be calculated as one building.

"Let's go in together." Fang Xu said with a faint smile.

The temple is so huge that there is no need for me to seek repayment for a favor or do anything that would offend others.

Hearing him say this, everyone's faces showed joy.

"Well done, Junior Brother Fang!"

"Thank you, Junior Brother Fang!"

"Brother, if you encounter any problems in the sect in the future, we will definitely help you!"

"Correct!"

At this moment, more than ten people present admired Fang Xu very much.

Everyone carefully walked along the cut-out chasm to the temple.

Through the messy rubble, you can vaguely see the scene inside.

Fang Xu was the first to walk in. The others tacitly chose not to walk with him, and each found a direction to explore.

"Fang Xu, look at that!"

Following Fang Xu, Yun Wan saw a huge statue split in half as soon as she entered the temple.

"True Emperor Chenxing." When Fang Xu saw the statue, he immediately recognized that this temple should be dedicated to True Emperor Chenxing.

"Do you know him?" Yun Wan was a little curious.

Fang Xu nodded: "The seven statues in the Tilanshan ruins correspond to the Seven Luminaries Gods. This level is the Northern Water, the True Emperor of Chenxing... I think his name is Qi Cang!"

At this moment, Fang Xu thought of the name of Chenxing Zhenhuangjun.

Just as he uttered the name "Qi Qi", a faint fluorescence appeared on the chest of the standing half of the stone statue.

The two came to the statue of Qi Cang that was split in half and were about to search for something when Fang Xu suddenly caught a glimpse of the faint fluorescence emanating from the stone statue.

"wait for me."

Fang Xu said this, and with a few jumps, he came to the collapsed half of the stone statue of Qi Qiang, and finally saw clearly what the fluorescent thing was inside the other half of the statue that was still standing.

It was a bead the size of a bowl.

It looks like a night-shining pearl, but its light is not as bright as that of a night-shining pearl.

Fang Xu frowned.

The stone statue was split in half by a single blow from an unknown powerful being. The cut was very shiny, and below it was a hundred-meter-deep abyss created by the blade's light. Due to the suppression of a restriction, it seemed a little difficult for him to take that thing down.

"Fang Xu, be careful."

Yun Wan also saw the height of the thing and was afraid that Fang Xu would accidentally fall down.

You know, they can't use any abilities above that of a martial artist now. If they fall down, they will be seriously injured if not killed.

Staring at the thing emitting faint fluorescence, Fang Xu estimated it and squatted slightly.

The next moment, Kuiniu's power was activated!
His figure leaped high like a cannonball!
People in mid-air——

Longyou!

As soon as a faint dragon roar sounded, Fang Xu's body immediately made a 90-degree turn and flew directly towards the night pearl that was emitting a faint fluorescent light!

As his figure approached the Night Pearl, Fang Xu immediately opened his palm and grabbed the thing in his hand.

Kuiniu's strength was activated again, and using the statue of Guanghua as a fulcrum, he flew horizontally across the chasm and landed steadily on the ground.

"Did you get it?" Yun Wan ran over and looked at what Fang Xu was holding and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Fang Xu studied it for a moment and said, "Demon Pill."

That’s right, what he held in his hand was a magic pill!
The size of this demon pill is much larger than the red flame-winged snake demon pill that Gu Qiu and I obtained last time, but perhaps because it has been too long, most of the energy in the demon pill has dissipated.

After collecting the demon pill, the two continued searching in the temple.

"Fang Xu, look!"

Just when the two were wondering if they were unlucky, Yun Wan suddenly discovered something.

Fang Xu walked over and saw what seemed to be a secret room behind a pile of rocks.

After lifting the huge rubble in front of them one by one, they found a secret room in front of them.

The secret room also houses a statue of Qi Cang, except that the statue is carved entirely from white jade and is most likely a one-to-one replica of Qi Cang's real body.

The whole statue looks lifelike.

In front of the statue is an altar carved from a whole piece of stone, on which are placed three things.

On the right side is a pitch-black jade stele engraved with strange characters, in the middle is a huge bronze incense burner, and on the far left is a strange-looking eye-shaped gem.

"Put it away first!"

It was obvious that the three things were not ordinary items. Fang Xu simply waved his hand and put them into his Qiankun bag.

"This statue is not bad." Yun Wan said, and waved her hand to put the statue directly into her Qiankun bag.

The two looked around the stone chamber and collected everything they could take away.

After searching for a while, everyone gathered outside the temple.

Wu Ling counted the number of people and found that everyone was present, so he said directly: "Since everyone is here, let's find the entrance to the fifth floor."

"I have temporarily issued a mission. Whoever finds the entrance to the fifth floor will be rewarded with 100,000 contribution points."

After hearing this, everyone looked happy and hurriedly left the temple to look for the entrance to the fifth floor.

At this time, Fang Xu suddenly remembered that when Gu Qiu calculated the entrance to the fourth floor, he seemed to have determined the entrance location based on the five elements.

If we follow this rule, the fifth layer is most likely gold of the five elements, which is where Taibai Zhenhuangjun among the Seven Stars is located.

The gold of the Five Elements is in the west, so perhaps I should look towards the west.

"Yun Wan, follow me."

With an idea in mind, Fang Xu immediately took Yun Wan and headed in one direction.

The two of them hurried along the way, not knowing how far they had gone, until they seemed to have suddenly arrived at the edge of this world, and in front of them was an endless sea!

"It seems to be wrong." Yun Wan looked around and said.

Fang Xu shook his head: "Look at that."

Following the direction of his finger, Yun Wan noticed a strange whirlpool on the sea in the distance, and endless sea water was flowing towards that whirlpool.

"Is that the entrance to the fifth floor?"

Fang Xu nodded. He was sure that the vortex was most likely the entrance to the fifth floor.

"I'll go inform Elder Wuling."

……

At the edge of the endless sea, everyone looked at the whirlpool in the distance and found it very magical.

"Elder Wu, are we going to the fifth floor?" someone asked.

This time on the fourth floor, they had reaped a lot of rewards, and their inner greed made them want to go to the fifth floor to see what other good things there were.

Wu Ling shook his head and said, "Don't let greed blind your eyes. Don't forget how those two disciples died."

All the Martial Lords at the Martial Lord level were killed instantly and silently on the fourth level.

If it weren't for Fang Xu's magical tripod-casting star map, it would have been a problem whether they could get out alive, let alone a fruitful harvest.

Wuling brought them here to gain experience and explore, not to die.

Everyone's face changed, and they immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to the fifth floor.

Anyway, just leave it here and come back when you are stronger.

Starting from the fourth floor, this relic is no longer accessible to ordinary warriors.

As for the terrifying monsters outside the fourth floor, ordinary warriors would be killed in minutes if they came in.

"Let's go."

"This mission ends here."

Wu Ling spoke, and everyone began to return along the original route.

When they were about to reach the entrance, the monsters in the fog, perhaps because they were afraid of Fang Xu, stopped harassing them.

Everyone arrived at the third floor. Several disciples of the Ascension Society who were waiting at the entrance saw the large and small bags of things on everyone and their eyes showed envy.

At this moment, they truly realized the importance of the soul.

Outside the Tilan Mountain ruins.

"Elder Wu, I want to take care of some personal matters, so I won't go back with you." Yun Wan said.

Fang Xu heard this and knew that she was going to look for Yun Qing, so he immediately said, "I'll go with Yun Wan."

Wuling nodded, then took the rest of the people and left Tilan Mountain.

As night fell, Fang Xu accompanied Yun Wan back to Fenglin Town first.

Ever since Gu Qiu spoke up last time, no one dared to occupy his courtyard anymore.

The two returned to the courtyard, Fang Xu packed up simply, and prepared to go see Wang.

It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, so I should at least make sure she is doing well.

"You take a rest first, I'm going to go out for a while." After giving these instructions, Fang Xu went straight to Wang's courtyard.

On the courtyard wall, the five-clawed black dragon flag representing the royal family had disappeared.

Fang Xu's heart tightened when he saw this.

He quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

In the yard, Wang was washing vegetables by the well. When she heard the noise, she slowly raised her head and saw that it was Fang Xu. She was stunned!
"When did you come back?"

Suppressing the surprise in her heart, Wang said with a trembling voice.

"Just got back." Fang Xu smiled faintly.

Wang stood up slowly, walked up to him, looked him up and down, and said softly, "You've lost some weight."

Fang Xu looked down at himself and was about to say something when Wang hugged him tightly.

"Ten months and seven days."

Fang Xu was stunned: "What?"

Wang leaned her head against his chest, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat and said, "It has been ten months and seven days since you last came back."

"Has it been that long?"

"I've calculated it..."

Fang Xu patted Wang's back gently, caressing her shoulders and said, "Why is the black dragon flag in the yard gone?"

"The prince ordered someone to take it down. He said he was no longer the prince and was afraid that the black dragon flag would bring trouble to me."

"However, the Xing family has spoken, so I can still stay in Fenglin Town."

Fang Xu nodded.

The Xing family must have reached some kind of agreement with the royal family and replaced the Yun family as the master of Huangzhou.

The Xing family is also backed by the royal family. With them speaking, the Wang family will not be in any danger.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I'll go to town and buy some wine and food."

Looking at Fang Xu, Wang suddenly spoke.

Fang Xu shook his head: "No need to go to such trouble, just make something to eat."

"I want to drink with you." Wang said, pulling Fang Xu to the stone table in the yard and said, "Sit down first, I'll be back soon."

Fang Xu sat at the stone table with a smile, waiting for Wang to come back with the wine and food.

That night, Wang, who had drunk some wine, was very proactive. She seemed to want to vent all her patience over the past ten months, and also seemed to want Fang Xu to remember her.

However, she was not even a martial arts apprentice and she ultimately overestimated her own physical strength and was ultimately defeated.

The sky in the east was turning pale. Looking at Wang who was sleeping soundly beside him, Fang Xu took out some money and some first- and second-grade Qi and Blood Pills from his Qiankun bag and gently placed them on the table. Then he left a letter for Wang and returned to his own courtyard.

Yun Wan was still practicing. Fang Xu took a quick bath in the yard and then went to the town to buy some food.

When I came back again, Yun Wan was already sitting in the yard.

"Didn't you come back last night?" Yun Wan looked a little resentful when she saw Fang Xu.

Fang Xu smiled awkwardly, then raised the buns and sweet porridge in his hand and said, "Eat something."

Yun Wan did not continue to ask him what he did last night. The two of them ate something quietly and left the courtyard.

In Tilan Mountain, the two were searching aimlessly, not knowing where Yun Qing had gone.

"Fang Xu, do you think Yun Qing will..." Looking at the vast mountains in front of her, a trace of worry flashed in Yun Wan's eyes.

Yun Qing's strength is only at the seventh level of martial artist. With such skills, he can barely survive in the outskirts of Tilan Mountain. Once he goes deep into the depths of Tilan Mountain, it is estimated that he will have difficulty surviving.

"No, don't worry." Fang Xu comforted.

Although Yun Qing is reckless, he is not a fool. If there is no outsider chasing him, he will not rashly enter the depths of Tilan Mountain.

The two of them followed the direction of Tilan Mountain and searched towards Huangzhou City.

Time comes on the third day.

Fang Xu was walking when he suddenly noticed traces of a burnt campfire on the open space in front of him.

The two came to the ashes of the bonfire. Yun Wan looked around and shook her head slightly, saying, "This is the inner area of ​​Tilan Mountain. Hunters from nearby will also come here. It may not be left by Yun Qing."

Fang Xu glanced at the wooden stick next to him that was obviously used for grilling meat and said, "Whether it is or not, let me take a look first."

He picked up the wooden stick and held it in his hand, then he immediately started praying to the heavens.

A strange force was circulating around his body. Standing next to him, Yun Wan suddenly discovered that Fang Xu's aura had suddenly changed!
The whole person seemed to be getting farther and farther away from himself, and more and more sacred.

In the end, Yun Wan even felt that Fang Xu in front of her seemed like a completely different person, someone she dared not approach.

The power of the prayer technique slowly began to work, and in Fang Xu's mind, it seemed as if time had gone backwards in this area.

The sun sets and rises, light and shadow interweave.

Finally, he saw the pair that night as a bonfire burned.

Five members of the Yanshen sect wearing red robes and strange faces were sitting around a campfire, and next to them was a young man who was covered in blood and looked quite embarrassed.

The young man was Yun Qing.

Fang Xu saw one of the Yanshen sect believers said something to Yun Qing. Yun Qing's face looked a little unnatural. Then, as if he thought of something, a trace of murderous intent flashed across Yun Qing's face. Then he stood up and bowed to the Yanshen sect believer.

The Yanshen believer seemed to laugh, then came to Yun Qing, patted him on the shoulder, and then pulled Yun Qing to the campfire...

hum!
The prayer technique consumed a lot of spiritual power, and he had to withdraw without even seeing the subsequent scenes.

"Fang Xu, are you okay?" Seeing that the strange power in Fang Xu's body subsided, his face turned pale in an instant, as if he had a serious illness. Yun Wan hurriedly supported him.

Fang Xu waved his hand: "I'm fine."

"This bonfire is indeed related to Yun Qing." After a slight pause, Fang Xu looked at Yun Wan and said.

Yun Wan's face was full of surprise: "Really?!"

Fang Xu nodded, but he hesitated and still did not tell Yun Wan that she might have joined the Yanshen Sect.

The people in Yanshen Sect are too weird. With Yun Wan's personality, she would definitely investigate if she knew Yun Qing had joined Yanshen Sect.

Once you encounter the followers of Yanshen Sect, the consequences will be disastrous.

He didn't want Yun Wan to become a monster like Yushan Tianyi.

"Although I didn't see where Yun Qing went, one thing is certain, he is still alive." Fang Xu said.

Yun Wan nodded and murmured, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

"Let's go back first. As long as he's still alive, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

The two of them immediately went down the mountain and headed towards the Ascension Meeting.
