The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 211 Earth Vein Sealed Space
Qinggang Mountain is a place with beautiful scenery.

At the foot of the mountain, the lake is shimmering and the roadsides are lush and green, making people relax unconsciously.

"He who comes is stopped!"

A loud shout from inside the sentry post on the mountain road made Fang Xun stop himself from admiring the scenery.

At the mountain checkpoint, the guards were acting as if they were facing a great enemy, not daring to take their eyes off him for even a moment, some even fired flares directly.

call out--

The fireworks exploded in broad daylight, causing Fang Xun to sigh helplessly.

Who told him to wear all black and wear a bronze ghost mask?
The reputation of the Ghost-Faced Man is not only known outside the mountain, but is also widely known within the Corridor Mountain.

Especially some time ago, four enlightened men and thousands of vicious bandits in Black Wind Village were slaughtered by him alone in a short period of time.

This caused people in some villages in the mountains to panic, fearing that this killer would come and stroll around their mountains.

Although Tianwang Water Fort was not afraid of the Ghost-Faced Man, the guards became alert, fearing that the other party had helpers in secret.

Faced with this situation, Fang Xun simply took out a black token and threw it over.

"It was your village chief who invited me to the mountain."

The leader took the token and looked at it carefully. His face suddenly darkened and he waved his hand and shouted.

"Let him go up the mountain!"

Soon, the checkpoint opened a path for Fang Xun to pass, but everyone's eyes were still extremely vigilant.

In this way, Fang Xun walked from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, passing more than a dozen checkpoints on the way, and everyone looked at him as if he were facing a great enemy.

Fortunately, this treatment did not last long. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, he saw Xue Ren.

On the stairs halfway up the mountain, the two of them were walking up and down, staring at each other from a distance.

Fang Xun said calmly: "Is this how you welcome me?"

Xue Ren waved his hand and smiled faintly: "My subordinates are not very sensible, please bear with me. Since you have come to the mountain, does that mean you agree to cooperate?"

"Haha, such a great benefit, of course I agree, as long as you don't play tricks on me."

"Don't worry. Without you, I can't remove the seal by myself. Come with me."

As he was talking, Xue Ren did not continue to take Fang Xun up the mountain, but walked into the dense forest on one side of the mountain path, and Fang Xun followed closely behind.

The two left the main road and walked through the dense forest. Soon Fang Xun followed Xue Ren to an ordinary mountain wall and saw him gently move an inconspicuous stone nearby.

Boom——

As if some mechanism had been activated, a narrow passage immediately appeared on the smooth mountain wall, which was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

Xue Ren walked in first, and Fang Xun was not afraid either. He followed him with a normal expression. When the two of them entered, there was another loud bang, and the entrance to the mountain wall immediately fell down and returned to its original state.

The passage was dark. The two men each held a torch in their hands to light the way forward, as if there was no end.

After walking for a while, Fang Xun realized that this was a circular passage, gradually extending downward in circles.

He silently calculated the height he was at in his mind. The two of them walked in silence and did not know how long they had been walking.

When Fang Xun felt that he had walked underground from halfway up the mountain, he was still going down.

Gradually, he smelled a hint of blood, which became stronger as he went down.

Fang Xun couldn't help but frowned: "Is this a blood sacrifice?"

This was the first thing that came to his mind, and he also had some guesses about the fate of the Danes who were sent to the Corridor Mountains.

Xue Ren simply said: "If the Seven Killers were alive, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Do you think we want to make such a big fuss? Letting countless people disappear in Chunyang Prefecture is challenging the bottom line of the court.

After this time, I will have to hide my identity for a while.

The Daxuan government is not useless. I even suspect that Fang Xun from the Six Gates has already discovered the problem with Qinggang Mountain and has also found out the purpose of Black Water Abyss.

But he has been quiet recently, probably because he wants to wait and reap the benefits."

Xue Ren did not dwell on the topic of blood sacrifice for long, and directly turned the topic to Fang Xun.

After hearing this, Fang Xun's eyes darkened, but he smiled and said, "You have run such a big business for decades, and you just gave up without any hesitation. I am looking forward to the benefits of this time."

"I will definitely not let you down. Compared to the benefits this time, what is Tianwang Water Fort?
After this is accomplished, I will definitely be able to break through to the Yang God, and you will also be able to break through to the Yin God with ease. Your subsequent cultivation will also be smooth sailing. In five years at most, you will be able to break through to the Yang God!"

"Thanks for your kind words, but we have been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived yet?"

"Haha, we're almost there. We'll be there in about a hundred meters."

The two stopped talking and concentrated on getting on their way. Along the way, Fang Xun could only feel the smell of blood lingering around his nose getting stronger and stronger.

And Xue Ren did not lie to him. He circled around and walked down about a hundred meters, and finally came to a stone chamber.

The stone chamber is not big, about thirty feet long and wide. The walls are inlaid with luminous pearls, making the room bright.

But there were walls on only three sides here, and on the side facing the entrance, Fang Xun could only see hazy white mist.

Visibility was extremely low and he could only see five meters away.

Looking at the space covered by white mist in front of him, Fang Xun asked, "Is this the seal you mentioned?"

"No, this is just the entrance. Follow my steps and remember not to take a wrong step. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you if you get trapped inside!"

As he spoke, Xue Ren walked straight into the white fog, and Fang Xun followed closely. He walked the same way as Xue Ren walked, keeping the other's back in his sight.

It was another long journey, and Fang Xun was bored so he asked, "You said just now that this is just the entrance?"

Xue Ren replied without even turning his head: "This is the outermost part of the seal. Once you enter the mist, it is equivalent to entering another independent space."

"Ok?"

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed: "Is it a space like the legendary paradise?"

"I guess so. The white fog is endless. At least we haven't found the edge. Once you enter, if you don't follow a specific route, you may never get out even if you walk for your whole life!"

"Don't worry, I've memorized the route out."

Xue Ren laughed and said, "Once the task is completed, the white fog will disappear and we won't have to remember the route anymore."

At this moment, the fog in front gradually dissipated. Xue Ren became more alert and stopped talking. He also quickened his pace.

Soon, the two came to a pure white and smooth wall.

The other three sides were all covered with white mist, and there was a jade altar in front of the wall.

A hint of golden light flashed from time to time on the surface, and it was obvious that it was made of the finest lapis lazuli. There was also a scarlet crystal on the altar.

The bloody smell of the crystal was so strong that it made people feel as if they were soaked in a sea of ​​blood.

Fang Xun looked calm, ignoring the pungent smell of blood. He glanced at the wall, then at the altar and asked, "Did you use all the lapis lazuli you got to make this thing?"

"There are more than just this one. There are a total of 365 altars, scattered throughout Qinggang Mountain."

While Xue Ren was explaining, he did not stop his hands and directly pressed his palm towards the scarlet crystal.

“This crystal condenses the essence of all the sacrifices. If the Seven Killers were still there, the guiding star power would be able to split open the wall in front of us that can only be forcibly broken by the power of the True Martial Realm.

Unfortunately, the Seven Killers are dead, so we can only rely on blood sacrifice to destroy this wall."

As he spoke, Xue Ren slapped the scarlet crystal into the altar.

In a flash, Fang Xun saw blood-colored lines appearing out of thin air on the ground.

Boom——

The earth began to tremble slightly, and the altar emitted rays of blood that hit the white walls.

Boom——Boom——Boom——

Xue Ren also immediately retreated to Fang Xun's side and watched the pure white wall in front of him tremble constantly. Every time it was hit by the blood light, the surface would disintegrate into wisps of white mist and merge into the surrounding fog.

As time went by, the wall became thinner and thinner. Fang Xun watched the whole process with a frown, and he had some guesses about Dingtian Mountain in his mind.

Dingtian Mountain must have been set up with the same magic array as Qinggang Mountain, and it must have taken hundreds of years, not just a few years or decades.

As a place of strategic importance, countless bloody battles have been fought between the grassland and the Central Plains in Dingtian Mountain for hundreds of years, leaving countless bones buried.

Every inch of soil in the mountains is soaked in blood.

This is also a blood sacrifice. With the accumulation of time, even the strongest seal will be broken.

This battle between the millions of elite soldiers from the grassland and 300,000 elite soldiers from Youzhou may be the last one.

And just after Xue Ren activated the blood sacrifice formation, he arrived at the palace in the hinterland of Dingtian Mountain.

click-

It seems that the actions in Jiangnan have affected Dingtian Mountain.

Suddenly, a crisp click sounded beside their ears, and nine people opened their eyes at the same time.

Suddenly, tiny cracks began to appear on the ground, walls, and ceiling.

Although the cracks are small, if they continue to spread, it won’t be long before the underground palace will be completely shattered and destroyed.

But the nine people did not have any worries, they just felt a little surprised.

Everyone looked at him strangely, and all looked at the murderer.

"Du Ming, didn't you say that the last wave would require a blood sacrifice of at least 500,000 to remove the seal of the earth veins? What's going on now?"

"Yes, it has only been less than ten days since the fighting began. Both sides have been fighting and taking a break, and the number of deaths is less than 100,000."

"Could it be that the old man who took the life of the thief made a mistake again?"

The fatal man was also confused. The appearance of cracks was not a bad thing, but a very good thing. This meant that the progress of destroying the seal was much earlier than he had imagined.

He himself was a little confused. Could it be that he had calculated it wrong?
"Well, maybe it's because of the eight hundred years that the effect of the blood sacrifice exceeded my expectations."

At this time, Shangguan Wudi suddenly said: "Okay, no matter what, this is a good thing. Stay focused and calm. Don't be careless. It's not the time to relax yet!"

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and closed their eyes again, allowing the underground palace to become quiet.
